The company also announced that it is confirming prior guidance for the third quarter and full year 2016. For the third quarter, FMC expects adjusted earnings to be in the range of $0.53 to $0.63 per share and expects full-year adjusted EPS to be in the range of $2.60 to $2.90⁽¹⁾.

Pierre Brondeau, FMC president, CEO and chairman, said: "We are seeing a more stable and predictable business in Ag Solutions in Latin America, and continue to see strength in our Lithium business. The stabilization of our Ag Solutions business in Latin America is due in large part to the specific actions the company has taken over the past twelve months to reduce cost, reduce channel inventory, rationalize our portfolio and focus on price and terms. As a result, we remain confident that our earnings for the third quarter and full year will be in line with our prior guidance."
