PHILADELPHIA, October 29, 2024 - FMC Corporation (NYSE:FMC) today reported third quarter 2024 revenue of $1.07 billion, an increase of 9 percent versus third quarter 2023 and up 12 percent organically. On a GAAP basis, the company reported net income of $0.52 per diluted share in the third quarter, up from a net loss of $0.03 per diluted share in the third quarter 2023 driven by higher sales and lower costs from restructuring actions as well as a lower effective tax provision. Adjusted earnings were $0.69 per diluted share, an increase of 57 percent versus third quarter of 2023.

Interest Expense +4 cents

"We delivered revenue and earnings growth as market conditions improved although at varying rates across the regions," said Pierre Brondeau, FMC chairman and chief executive officer. "Strong volume growth in Latin America and North America more than offset lower pricing, particularly in Brazil and Argentina which accounted for two-thirds of the total company price decline. Despite suboptimal market conditions, we saw increased demand for new products, specifically fluindapyr-based fungicide products, which confirms the strength of FMC's innovation pipeline."
Revenue growth in the quarter of 9 percent was driven by a 17 percent increase in volume, with some North America second half orders occurring earlier than expected due to improved channel inventory levels. Price was lower by 5 percent, driven primarily by Latin America due to challenging market conditions in Brazil and Argentina including delayed rains and elevated channel inventory. In addition, the bankruptcy of a large customer led FMC to offer additional incentives to replace lost volumes and maintain market share. FX was a 3 percent headwind to sales in the quarter. Diamides growth outperformed the overall company, led by strong growth of Cyazypyr® based products.
In North America, revenue increased 48 percent year-over-year driven by strong volume growth as diamide partners increased orders and branded sales grew with improved channel inventory levels. EMEA revenue declined 7 percent (down 6 percent organically) compared to third quarter 2023 almost entirely due to expected registration losses. Sales in Asia declined 10 percent (down 12 percent organically) due to volume declines, mainly in India, as well as lower pricing. In Latin America, revenue improved 8 percent year-over-year (up 15 percent organically). Pricing challenges in Brazil and Argentina were more than offset by volume growth, primarily in Brazil, including strong demand for Onsuva® fungicide - a fluindapyr-based formulation. Globally, Plant Health revenue improved 11 percent (up 14 percent organically) versus prior year driven by growth in biologicals, most prominently in Asia.

Third quarter adjusted EBITDA was $201 million, an increase of 15 percent versus the prior-year period and above the top-end of our guidance range. Higher sales volume, FX tailwinds and above-target restructuring benefits more than offset lower pricing and the recognition of unabsorbed fixed costs from lower manufacturing activity in prior periods.
Full Year 2024 Outlook2,3
The company is confirming its full-year 2024 outlook for sales and EBITDA and updating its outlook for adjusted EPS. The midpoints for sales and EBITDA are adjusted for the imminent sale of the GSS business, which is expected to close in early November. Full-year revenue guidance has tightened to be in the range of $4.33 billion to $4.44 billion, representing a 2 percent decrease at the midpoint versus 2023. Mid-single digit volume growth is expected to be more than offset by price and, to a lesser extent, FX headwinds. Full-year adjusted EBITDA range has been narrowed and is expected to be $885 million to $915 million, an 8 percent decline at the midpoint versus prior year. The range for 2024 adjusted earnings per share is updated to be $3.16 to $3.52 per diluted share, representing a decrease of 12 percent year-over-year. The tax rate range is narrowed to 13 to 15 percent, a 150 bps reduction versus prior guidance at the midpoint. The company is maintaining its full-year free cash flow guidance range of $400 million to $500 million.
Fourth Quarter Outlook2,3
The fourth quarter outlook has been adjusted to reflect the imminent sale of the GSS business ($20 million loss in revenue and $10 million loss in EBITDA) and outperformance in Q3. Fourth quarter revenue is now expected to be in the range of $1.30 billion to $1.41 billion, a 19 percent increase at the midpoint compared to fourth quarter 2023. Adjusted EBITDA is forecasted to be in the range of $321 million to $351 million, representing a 32 percent increase at the midpoint versus fourth quarter 2023. FMC now expects adjusted earnings per diluted share to be in the range of $1.47 to $1.83 in the fourth quarter, which represents an improvement of 54 percent at the midpoint versus fourth quarter 2023.

"We plan to deliver strong fourth quarter growth despite a shift of some second half orders from the fourth quarter into the third quarter, while many countries continue operating in challenging conditions," said Brondeau. "Key fourth quarter earnings growth drivers are robust sales of new products as well as additional cost benefits from our restructuring program. We still expect further earnings growth in 2025 from cost tailwinds as well as moderate top line growth as market conditions improve."

____________________
(1)Referred to as Adjusted earnings. The Company believes that Adjusted earnings, a Non-GAAP financial measure, 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 September 30, 2024:
Restructuring and other charges (income) includes restructuring charges of $15.7 million primarily related to the previously announced global restructuring plan, referred to as "Project Focus." Charges incurred related to Project Focus consist of $7.0 million of severance and employee separation costs, $5.4 million of professional service provider costs and other miscellaneous charges, and accelerated depreciation of $6.2 million on assets identified for disposal in connection with the restructuring initiative. These Project Focus restructuring charges were partially offset by a $3.1 million gain recognized on the disposition of a previously closed manufacturing site. Other charges (income) of $6.9 million is comprised of $4.8 million of charges associated with our environmental sites and $2.1 million of other miscellaneous charges.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2023:
Restructuring and other charges (income) includes $2.5 million of employee separation and $0.4 million of other exit costs incurred as part of various restructuring initiatives. Other charges (income) of $25.3 million is comprised of $11.9 million in charges resulting from the third quarter acquisition of in-process research and development assets that do not meet the criteria for capitalization. Additionally, we incurred $4.9 million in losses related to the devaluation of the Argentine peso driven by government actions, $4.5 million of charges associated with our environmental sites, and $4.0 million of other miscellaneous charges.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024:
Restructuring and other charges (income) includes restructuring charges of $133.2 million primarily related Project Focus. Charges incurred in connection with Project Focus consist of $53.3 million of non-cash asset write off charges resulting from the contract termination with one of our third-party manufacturers, $44.5 million of severance and employee separation costs, including costs associated with the previously announced CEO transition, $24.1 million of professional service provider costs and other miscellaneous charges, and accelerated depreciation of $14.4 million on assets identified for disposal in connection with the restructuring initiative. These Project Focus restructuring charges were partially offset by a $3.1 million gain recognized on the disposition of a previously closed manufacturing site. Other charges (income) of $25.4 million is comprised of $13.8 million of charges associated with our environmental sites and $11.6 million of other miscellaneous charges.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023:
Restructuring and other charges (income) includes $6.8 million of employee separation costs as well as$1.9 million of asset impairment and other charges related to various global restructuring initiatives. These restructuring charges were offset by a $5.8 million gain recognized on the disposition of land related to a previously closed manufacturing facility. Other charges (income) of $45.1 million, is comprised of $11.9 million in charges resulting from the third quarter acquisition of in-process research and development assets that do not meet the criteria for capitalization. We recognized a $6.9 million remeasurement charge triggered during the period as a result of the significant currency depreciation of the Pakistani Rupee. On January 25, 2023, the Pakistani Rupee experienced its largest single day drop against the US dollar in over two decades following the removal of the USD-PKR exchange cap in place on the country's currency. Additionally, we incurred $4.9 million in losses related to the devaluation of the Argentine peso driven by government actions during the period, $14.3 million of charges associated with our environmental sites, and $7.1 million of other miscellaneous charges.
(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)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.
(d)Discontinued operations includes provisions, net of recoveries, for environmental liabilities and legal reserves and expenses related to previously discontinued operations and retained liabilities. Discontinued operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 includes cash proceeds, net of fees of $18.0 million received as the result of an insurance settlement for retained legal reserves.
(e)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.

In connection with our plans to establish a global technology and innovation center in Switzerland, we initiated changes to our corporate entity structure, including intra-entity transfers of certain intellectual property, during the second quarter of 2024. As a result, we recorded a net tax benefit of approximately $300 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024. This benefit, net of valuation allowance, was primarily a result of the recognition of a step-up in tax basis to the fair value of the transferred intellectual property by the Company's Swiss subsidiary. In addition, local tax impacts associated with the disposition of the transferred intellectual property were recorded as well as an increase in our valuation allowance associated with Swiss nonrefundable tax credits as a result of indirect effects of the transferred intellectual property.

(2)Represents transactional-related costs such as legal and professional third-party fees associated with the anticipated sale of our Global Specialty Solutions ("GSS") business. Proceeds from the sale of our GSS business anticipated for the fourth quarter 2024 will be excluded from free cash flow when received. Therefore, we have also excluded the related transaction costs from free cash flow.
(3)Free cash flow is defined as cash provided (required) by operating activities of continuing operations (GAAP) adjusted for spending for capital additions and other investing activities as well as legacy and transformation spending and divestiture transaction costs associated with the anticipated sale of our GSS business. As noted above, Project Focus transformation spending is reclassified into "Legacy and transformation" for presentation purposes. 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.
