Pierre Brondeau, FMC CEO and chairman said: "In the first quarter, FMC built on the performance of last year with strong financial results that outpaced the industry. Our revenue and EBITDA momentum reflect the benefits of continued strong demand across our portfolio, as well as our geographic balance. We also finalized the spinoff of Livent Corporation in March, completing our Company's transformation into an Agricultural Sciences company."
FMC revenue growth was driven by 9 percent contribution from volume and a 5 percent contribution from price, offset partially by a 6 percent headwind from foreign currencies. FMC achieved higher pricing in all regions. Latin America sales grew 30 percent year over year and greater than 40 percent excluding FX, driven mainly by Brazil, with strong growth in sales for cotton, soybean and sugarcane applications, and strong pricing across the region. In North America, sales increased 7 percent year over year, driven by demand in pre-emergent herbicides for soybeans and insecticides for tree fruits and vegetables. Sales in EMEA grew 3 percent year over year and 11 percent excluding FX, largely due to favorable weather, price increases and demand for our insecticide portfolio. In Asia, revenue increased 1 percent year over year and 8 percent excluding FX, driven by growth in insecticides in China, continued sales synergies in India and strong growth in Pakistan and Japan.

2019 and Second Quarter Outlook1,2
FMC full-year revenue for 2019 is forecasted to be in the range of $4.5 billion to $4.6 billion, an increase of 6 percent at the midpoint versus recast 2018 and $50 million higher than prior guidance. Total company adjusted EBITDA is expected to be in the range of $1.18 billion to $1.22 billion, an increase of 8 percent at the midpoint compared to recast 2018 and $15 million higher than prior guidance. 2019 adjusted earnings are expected to be in the range of $5.62 to $5.82 per diluted share, an increase of 9 percent at the midpoint compared to recast 2018 and $0.07 higher than prior guidance. EPS estimates include the impact of the $100 million in share repurchases completed in the first quarter, but do not include the benefit of repurchases after March 31, 2019. All 2018 recast data used for these comparisons exclude the former Lithium segment.
Second quarter revenue is expected to be in the range of $1.185 billion to $1.215 billion, representing 4 percent growth at the midpoint compared to recast second quarter 2018. Total company adjusted EBITDA is forecasted to be in the range of $325 million to $345 million, representing a 5 percent increase at the midpoint versus recast Q2 2018. FMC expects adjusted earnings per diluted share to be in the range of $1.60 to $1.70 in the second quarter, which represents growth of 10 percent at the midpoint versus recast Q2 2018.
"Looking ahead, we continue to expect that most of the full-year impact of higher raw material costs and currency will occur in the first half of the year. We will mitigate these headwinds through pricing and cost management. With strong demand across the portfolio, we are raising our revenue outlook and full-year earnings guidance," said Brondeau.

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. Such forward-looking statements are based on management's current views and assumptions regarding future events, future business conditions and the outlook for the company based on currently available information. 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.

- Recast 2018 financials, as filed on a Form 8-K on March 22, 2019, exclude the former Lithium segment, which allows us to show a true year-over-year comparable metric for the 2019 periods.
- Although we provide forecasts for adjusted earnings per share and total company 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.

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 March 31, 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 $3.9 million. Additionally, restructuring and other charges (income) includes charges of continuing environmental sites treated as a Corporate charge of $2.6 million and other Corporate charges of $1.3 million. |
|
Three Months Ended March 31, 2018: |
|
Restructuring and other charges (income) primarily consists of a gain on sale of $85.0 million from the divestment of a portion of FMC's European herbicide portfolio to Nufarm Limited. This divestiture satisfied FMC's commitment to the European Commission related to the DuPont Crop Protection Business Acquisition. Restructuring and other charges (income) also include charges of $2.6 million, which includes approximately $1 million of accelerated depreciation charges related to certain fixed assets that will no longer be used upon exit of our Ewing R&D facility as well as miscellaneous restructuring efforts. Additionally, restructuring and other charges (income) includes charges of continuing environmental sites treated as a Corporate charge of $2.5 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 the expensing of the inventory fair value step-up resulting from the application of purchase accounting as well as legal and professional fees associated with acquisition activities. Amounts represent the following: |

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 Months Ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 |
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 three months ended March 31, 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. Partially offsetting the gain on sale were the results of our discontinued FMC Lithium segment as well as other previously discontinued operations. Discontinued operations, net of income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2018 includes an additional gain on sale of the FMC Health and Nutrition business to DuPont of approximately $16 million as a result of the adjustment to the final working capital. Additionally, the prior period includes a full quarter of operating results of FMC Lithium. |
|
(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. |
