FMC Corporation (NYSE: FMC) today reported second quarter 2020 revenue of approximately $1.16 billion, a decrease of 4 percent versus second quarter 2019. Excluding the impact of foreign currencies, organic sales grew 3 percent year over year. On a GAAP basis, the company reported earnings of $1.41 per diluted share in the second quarter, an increase of 7 percent versus second quarter 2019. Second quarter adjusted earnings were $1.72 per diluted share, an increase of 4 percent versus second quarter 2019, and 6 cents above the midpoint of guidance.

Mark Douglas, FMC president and CEO said: "FMC delivered solid financial performance despite challenging global conditions that included severe headwinds from foreign currencies, impacts from COVID-19, and adverse weather in Europe. FMC's geographic balance, strength in demand for our product portfolio and pricing actions all contributed to earnings growth in the quarter, as did the proactive cost controls implemented at the outset of the pandemic."

FMC revenue decline was driven by a 7 percent headwind from foreign currencies, offset partially by a 2 percent contribution from volume and a 1 percent contribution from price. Latin America sales grew 2 percent year over year, and 24 percent excluding FX headwinds. Pricing helped offset some of the FX headwinds, while the underlying volume gains came from strong herbicide and insecticide sales in Argentina and robust sales for sugarcane applications in Brazil. In Asia, revenue increased 2 percent year over year, and 8 percent excluding FX. Volume growth in India, Pakistan and Australia, as well as modest pricing across the region, were mostly offset by FX headwinds. In North America, sales decreased 6 percent year over year, driven primarily by our planned activities to reduce channel inventories of pre-emergent herbicides, partially offset by strong insecticide sales.  Sales in EMEA decreased 13 percent year over year and decreased 10 percent excluding FX, due to poor weather conditions in Northern and Eastern Europe as well as forecasted registration losses and product rationalizations.

2020 Outlook²

The company is forecasting full-year 2020 revenue to be in the range of $4.68 billion to $4.82 billion, representing an increase of 3 percent at the midpoint versus 2019. Organic growth is expected to be 9 percent, which is 1 percent higher than the prior guidance. Full-year adjusted EBITDA is now expected to be in the range of $1.265 billion to $1.325 billion, representing 6 percent year-over-year growth at the midpoint and an increase of 1 percent versus prior guidance. 2020 adjusted earnings are now expected to be in the range of $6.28 to $6.62 per diluted share, representing a year-over-year increase of 6 percent at the midpoint and 7 cents higher than prior forecast. Full-year earnings growth drivers include volume in Latin America and Asia Pacific, pricing and continued cost discipline. 

"While we expect continued challenges related to the global pandemic and foreign currency headwinds throughout 2020, we are more confident in our outlook for the remainder of the year and are raising the midpoints of our EBITDA and EPS guidance," said Douglas.

Statement under the Safe Harbor Provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995:  FMC and its representatives may from time to time make written or oral statements that are "forward-looking" and provide other than historical information, including statements contained in this press release, in FMC's other filings with the SEC, and in reports or letters to FMC stockholders.

In some cases, FMC has identified forward-looking statements by such words or phrases as "will likely result," "is confident that," "expect," "expects," "should," "could," "may," "will continue to," "believe," "believes," "anticipates," "predicts," "forecasts," "estimates," "projects," "potential," "intends" or similar expressions identifying "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including the negative of those words and phrases.

These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results to be materially different from any results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by any forward-looking statement.

The extent to which COVID-19 impacts us will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the scope, severity and duration of the pandemic, the actions taken to contain the pandemic or mitigate its impact, and the direct and indirect economic effects of the pandemic and containment measures, among others.  Additional factors include, among other things, the risk factors and cautionary statements included within FMC's 2019 Form 10-K and FMC's Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2020.

This press release contains certain "non-GAAP financial terms" which are defined on our website www.fmc.com/investors. In addition, we have also provided on our website reconciliations of non-GAAP terms to the most directly comparable GAAP term.

1.	Organic revenue growth (non-GAAP) excludes the impact of foreign currency changes.
2.	Although we provide forecasts for adjusted earnings per share and adjusted EBITDA (non- GAAP financial measures), we are not able to forecast the most directly comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Certain elements of the composition of the GAAP amounts are not predictable, making it impractical for us to forecast. Such elements include, but are not limited to, restructuring, acquisition charges, and discontinued operations. As a result, no GAAP outlook is provided.

____________________
(1)	The Company believes that the Non-GAAP financial measure "Adjusted after-tax earnings from continuing operations attributable to FMC stockholders" and its presentation on a per share basis provides useful information about the Company's operating results to management, 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 business from period to period.
(a)	Three Months Ended June 30, 2020:
	Restructuring and other charges (income) is comprised of charges associated with the integration of the DuPont Crop Protection Business. These charges include severance, accelerated depreciation on certain fixed assets, and other costs of $16.2 million. The remaining restructuring and other charges (income) includes charges of environmental sites of $3.3 million.
	Three Months Ended June 30, 2019:
	Restructuring and other charges (income) is primarily comprised of charges associated with the integration of the DuPont Crop Protection Business. These charges include severance, accelerated depreciation on certain fixed assets, and other costs (benefits) of $4.1 million. Additionally, restructuring and other charges (income) includes charges of continuing environmental sites treated as a Corporate charge of $5.6 million and other miscellaneous restructuring charges totaling $3.0 million.
	Six Months Ended June 30, 2020:
	Restructuring and other charges (income) is primarily comprised of charges associated with the integration of the DuPont Crop Protection Business. These charges include severance, accelerated depreciation on certain fixed assets, and other costs of $23.2 million. The remaining restructuring and other charges (income) primarily includes charges of environmental sites of $9.7 million.
	Six Months Ended June 30, 2019:
	Restructuring and other charges (income) is primarily comprised of charges associated with the integration of the DuPont Crop Protection Business. These charges include severance, accelerated depreciation on certain fixed assets, and other costs (benefits) of $8.0 million. Additionally, restructuring and other charges (income) includes charges of environmental sites of $8.2 million and other miscellaneous restructuring charges totaling $4.3 million.
(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. Except for the completion of certain in-flight initiatives, primarily associated with the finalization of our worldwide ERP system, we have completed the integration of the DuPont Crop Protection Business as of June 30, 2020. The transition services agreement is now terminated and we have completed a significant portion of the implementation of the new ERP system. The last phase of the ERP system transition is expected to take place on November 1, 2020 with a stabilization period that will go into the first quarter of 2021. We anticipate remaining expense of approximately $30 million to $35 million for the completion of these defined in-flight initiatives during the remaining time period.

These charges are recorded as a component of "Selling, general and administrative expense" on the condensed consolidated statements of income (loss).
(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 Six Months Ended June 30, 2020 and 2019
	Discontinued operations, net of income taxes include, in periods up to its separation on March 1, 2019, the results of FMC Lithium, including separation-related costs, as well as provisions, net of recoveries, for environmental liabilities and legal reserves and expenses related to previously discontinued operations. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, we finalized the sale of the first of two parcels of land of our discontinued site in Newark, California. The gain on sale was approximately $21 million, net of tax, and was partially offset by the results of our FMC Lithium business, which was a net loss due to separation-related costs. These events did not recur in the current period.
(f)	We exclude the GAAP tax provision, including discrete items, from the Non-GAAP measure of income, and include a Non-GAAP tax provision based upon the projected annual Non-GAAP effective tax rate. The GAAP tax provision includes certain discrete tax items including, but are not limited to: income tax expenses or benefits that are not related to continuing operating results in the current year; 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 related interim accounting impacts; 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 continuing operating results thereby providing investors with useful supplemental information about FMC's operational performance.

(2)	Adjusted cash from operations is defined as cash provided (required) by operating activities of continuing operations excluding the effects of transaction-related cash flows.
(3)	Free cash flow is defined as Adjusted cash from operations reduced by spending for capital additions and other investing activities as well as legacy and transformation spending. We believe that this Non-GAAP financial measure provides a useful basis for investors and securities analysts about the cash generated by routine business operations, including capital expenditures, in addition to assessing our ability to repay debt, fund acquisitions and return capital to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends. Our use of free cash flow has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for an analysis of our results under U.S. GAAP.
