PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 7, 2023 /PRNewswire/ --

FMC Corporation (NYSE:FMC) today reported fourth quarter 2022 revenue of $1.62 billion, an increase of 15 percent versus fourth quarter 2021, driven by robust volume and strong pricing. Excluding the impact of foreign currencies, organic revenue grew 17 percent year-over-year. On a GAAP basis, the company reported earnings of $2.17 per diluted share in the fourth quarter, up 45 percent versus fourth quarter 2021. Adjusted earnings were $2.37 per diluted share, an increase of 12 percent versus fourth quarter 2021, and $0.07 above the midpoint of guidance.

Adjusted EBITDA	+4 cents
Depreciation and amortization	-1 cent
Interest expense	-1 cent
Taxes	+2 cents
Minority interest	+1 cent

* Guidance refers to midpoint of EPS guidance presented in November 2022

 

"FMC delivered record performance in the fourth quarter, driven by robust volume growth, continued strong pricing actions as well as growth of new products," said Mark Douglas, FMC president and chief executive officer. "North America delivered exceptional revenue growth, with Latin America and Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) posting strong gains. Pricing actions more than offset headwinds from cost and FX in the quarter, marking an inflection point in a year that had record input cost inflation."

FMC revenue growth in the fourth quarter was driven by a 9 percent contribution from volume and an 8 percent contribution from price, offset partially by a 2 percent currency headwind.

Sales in North America grew 35 percent versus the fourth quarter of 2021. The U.S. business delivered strong volume and pricing, especially selective herbicides for soybeans and other crops as well as fungicides for corn. Latin America sales grew 13 percent (up 9 percent organically) year over year driven by robust pricing and continued market access expansion. Dry weather negatively impacted corn and soy planting in Southern Brazil and Argentina. In Asia, revenue was unchanged (up 12 percent organically) versus prior year period. Overwatch^® herbicide continued to gain share on cereals in Australia.  In EMEA, sales were up 7 percent (up 20 percent organically) year over year driven by robust pricing, expanded market access and broad-based demand, especially in cereal herbicides, partially offset by FX headwinds.  The global biologicals portfolio again grew double digit percent in the quarter.

Less FX Impact			(2 %)	(3 %)

Fourth quarter adjusted EBITDA was $432 million, an increase of 17 percent from the prior-year period. Strong pricing gains in every region, especially North America and EMEA, robust volume in North America, market access expansion in Brazil and new product introductions more than offset cost and currency headwinds in the quarter.

For the full year, FMC reported revenue of $5.8 billion, an increase of 15 percent compared to 2021. Excluding the impact of foreign exchange, year-over-year sales grew 18 percent organically. On a GAAP basis, the company reported full-year net income of $742 million, up 1 percent versus the previous year, and consolidated earnings of $5.81 per diluted share, a year-over-year increase of 1 percent. Full-year adjusted earnings were $7.41 per diluted share, an increase of 8 percent compared to 2021.

"Full-year results were driven by significant volume and price gains in every region. Our continued focus on new product development, commercial launches and market access investments delivered record results in 2022. More than $600 million in revenue was from new products introduced in the last five years, an increase of over 50 percent from the prior year, and approximately $100 million in revenue from launches in 2022," Douglas said.

2022 Full Year Adjusted EPS versus 2021
Adjusted EBITDA	+63 cents
Depreciation and amortization	+1 cent
Interest expense	-14 cents
Tax rate	-9 cents
Minority Interest	-1 cent
Share count	+14 cents
Total Adjusted EPS Growth	+54 cents

 

On a GAAP basis, cash flow from operations was $660 million, a decrease of 27 percent versus 2021, driven by inflation-fueled growth and working capital. Free cash flow in 2022 was $514 million, a decrease of 28 percent versus 2021.

Full Year 2023 Outlook²

Full-year 2023 revenue is forecasted to be in the range of $6.08 billion to $6.22 billion, representing an increase of 6 percent at the midpoint versus 2022, driven by strong pricing in all regions and growth in volume driven by new launches and market access. Full-year adjusted EBITDA range is expected to be $1.48 billion to $1.56 billion, representing 8 percent year-over-year growth at the midpoint. The range for 2023 adjusted earnings per share (EPS) is expected to be $7.20 to $8.00 per diluted share, representing an increase of 3 percent year-over-year at the midpoint, with EPS growth limited by higher interest and tax rates. Interest expense is now expected to be $200 million to $210 million, an increase of approximately $50 million at the midpoint, reflecting the rapidly rising interest rate environment. Adjusted earnings per share excludes any impact from potential 2023 share repurchases and assumes weighted average diluted shares outstanding (WADSO) of approximately 126.5 million. Full-year free cash flow is expected to be $530 million to $720 million.

"We anticipate a positive market backdrop for 2023 that will support our pricing actions as well as continued healthy demand for FMC's synthetic and biological product portfolios. We will continue to invest in our R&D pipeline as well as in SG&A resources to further expand our market access in key geographies. In addition, we will continue to closely manage our supply chain in 2023 to take advantage of any cost improvement opportunities while ensuring product availability for our customers," said Douglas.

First Quarter Outlook²

First quarter revenue is expected to be in the range of $1.41 billion to $1.45 billion, a 6 percent increase at the midpoint compared to first quarter 2022. Adjusted EBITDA is forecasted to be in the range of $345 million to $365 million, flat at the midpoint versus the prior year period given the significantly higher costs expected in the quarter. Adjusted earnings per diluted share is expected to be in the range of $1.63 to $1.83 in the first quarter, representing a decrease of 8 percent at the midpoint versus first quarter 2022 due to anticipated higher interest and tax rates.

____________________

(1)	The Company believes that the Non-GAAP financial measure "Adjusted After-Tax Earnings from Continuing Operations, Attributable to FMC Stockholders" ("Adjusted earnings"), and its presentation on a per share basis, provides useful information about the Company's operating results to investors and securities analysts. Adjusted earnings excludes the effects of Corporate special charges, tax-related adjustments and the results of our discontinued operations. The Company also believes that excluding the effects of these items from operating results allows management and investors to compare more easily the financial performance of its underlying businesses from period to period.
(a)	Three Months Ended December 31, 2022:
	Restructuring and other charges (income) includes $2.1 million of severance and employee separation costs, $3.0 million related to fixed asset charges, and $2.7 million of other restructuring related charges incurred as part of various restructuring initiatives.  These restructuring charges were offset by a gain of $50.5 million recognized on the disposition of land related to a closed manufacturing facility. Other charges of $36.9 million relate primarily to environmental charges.
	Three Months Ended December 31, 2021:
	Restructuring and other charges (income) is partially comprised of charges of environmental sites of $23.8 million. There were restructuring charges of $10.9 million associated with certain in-flight restructuring programs from the integration of the DuPont Crop Protection Business, which primarily reflects non-cash charges and to a lesser extent remaining severance. Restructuring charges associated with the DuPont program were largely complete as of December 31, 2021. Restructuring and other charges also includes an additional $9.7 million to increase reserves for certain historical India indirect tax matters that were triggered in the third quarter of 2021. Other restructuring charges from severance and accelerated deprecation for site closures were $11.3 million.
	Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2022:
	Restructuring and other charges (income) is primarily comprised of $76.8 million in exit charges related to our decision to cease operations and business in Russia.  Restructuring and other charges (income) is also comprised of $5.9 million of severance and employee separation costs, $11.2 million related to fixed asset charges, and $7.3 million of other restructuring related charges incurred as part of various restructuring initiatives. These restructuring charges were partially offset by a gain of $50.5 million recognized on the disposition of land related to a closed manufacturing facility. Other charges of $42.4 million relate primarily to environmental charges.
	Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2021:
	Restructuring and other charges (income) is comprised of costs related to historical India indirect tax matters of $33.5 million for the establishment of reserves which were largely triggered in the third quarter of 2021. These charges also include charges associated with certain in-flight restructuring programs from the integration of the DuPont Crop Protection Business, including severance, accelerated depreciation on certain fixed assets, and other costs of $16.7 million, which primarily reflects non-cash charges and to a lesser extent remaining severance. Restructuring charges associated with the DuPont program were largely complete as of December 31, 2021. Additionally, restructuring and other charges (income) is comprised of regional realignment activities, primarily the move of our European headquarters, including severance and employee relocation costs, of $11.0 million. These charges also include severance and restructuring charges of $13.4 million from other restructuring programs, as well as environmental sites and other miscellaneous charges of $27.1 million and $6.3 million, respectively.
(b)	Our non-operating pension and postretirement charges (income) are defined as those costs (benefits) related to interest, expected return on plan assets, amortized actuarial gains and losses and the impacts of any plan curtailments or settlements. These are excluded from our Adjusted Earnings and are primarily related to changes in pension plan assets and liabilities which are tied to financial market performance and we consider these costs to be outside our operational performance. We continue to include the service cost and amortization of prior service cost in our Adjusted Earnings results noted above. These elements reflect the current year operating costs to our businesses for the employment benefits provided to active employees.
(c)	Charges related to legal and professional fees associated with acquisition activities, primarily associated with the DuPont Crop Protection Business Acquisition.
(d)	The income tax expense (benefit) on Corporate special charges (income) is determined using the applicable rates in the taxing jurisdictions in which the Corporate special charge or income occurred and includes both current and deferred income tax expense (benefit) based on the nature of the non-GAAP performance measure.
(e)	Three and Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2022 and 2021:
	Discontinued operations for all periods presented includes provisions, net of recoveries, for environmental liabilities and legal reserves and expenses related to previously discontinued operations and retained liabilities. Discontinued operations, net of income taxes for the twelve months ended December 31, 2021 also includes a gain on sale, net of tax, of approximately $15.4 million, from the sale of land at two separate discontinued sites.
(f)	We exclude the GAAP tax provision, including discrete items, from the Non-GAAP measure of income, and instead include a Non-GAAP tax provision based upon the annual Non-GAAP effective tax rate. The GAAP tax provision includes certain discrete tax items including, but not limited to: income tax expenses or benefits that are not related to ongoing business operations in the current year; unusual or infrequently occurring items; tax adjustments associated with fluctuations in foreign currency remeasurement of certain foreign operations; certain changes in estimates of tax matters related to prior fiscal years; certain changes in the realizability of deferred tax assets; and changes in tax law. Management believes excluding these discrete tax items assists investors and securities analysts in understanding the tax provision and the effective tax rate related to ongoing operations thereby providing investors with useful supplemental information about FMC's operational performance.
