Pierre Brondeau, president, CEO and chairman, stated: "The first three months of 2015 were characterized by extremely volatile foreign exchange movements, a high degree of uncertainty in global agricultural markets and crop specific headwinds in the Brazil crop protection markets. In the quarter, currency movements reduced our revenues by approximately 4 percent and reduced our consolidated adjusted earnings per share by 11 cents.

"On February 3, 2015, we signed an agreement to sell Alkali Chemicals for $1.64 billion, resulting in discontinued operations treatment of Alkali Chemicals for the first quarter. The sale was completed on April 1, 2015. We also closed the Cheminova acquisition on April 21, 2015; however, this timing meant that Cheminova's strong first quarter performance was not included in our first quarter earnings.

"The closing of these two transactions completes the key steps to transform our portfolio into one focused on agriculture, health and nutrition. Looking forward into 2016 and beyond, we expect to see stronger average annual rates of growth in revenues, adjusted operating earnings and adjusted earnings per share than we delivered between 2009 and 2014, with stronger cash generation. Underlying market growth, expanded market access, new technology introductions, operational excellence and near-term synergies from the Cheminova acquisition, plus stronger free cash flow and lower capital intensity, all will contribute to this financial performance between 2016 and 2020. We are excited about the prospects for the transformed FMC portfolio in the coming years."

First Quarter Performance

First quarter revenue was $659.4 million, a 13 percent decrease versus the same period in 2014. The company reported a net loss of $46.8 million, or ($0.35) per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2015, compared to net income of $65.6 million, or $0.49 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2014. First quarter results include charges of $130.6 million after tax, or $0.97 per diluted share, compared to charges of $39.4 million after tax, or $0.29 per diluted share, in the prior-year quarter. Excluding these items in both periods, adjusted earnings were $0.62 per diluted share, a decline of 21 percent versus the prior-year quarter of $0.78.

Segment Results

FMC Agricultural Solutions

First-quarter segment revenue for FMC Agricultural Solutions was $392.4 million, a decrease of 16 percent versus the prior-year quarter. First-quarter segment earnings were $81.8 million, a 32 percent decrease from the prior-year quarter. In the quarter, slow demand due to lower insect pressures and higher-than-normal channel inventories in Brazil, volatile exchange rates, and the decision to exit a distribution channel in Brazil responsible for third-party product sales negatively impacted results.

Global crop protection markets are expected to be down by mid-single digit percent in 2015. The macroeconomic environment remains uncertain, mainly in light of current expectations of currency movements, interest rates, agricultural commodity prices and oil prices. FMC expects that earnings contributions from the Cheminova acquisition, including early synergy gains, the continued spread of weed resistance in North America and Latin America, and market share gains are expected to increase full-year segment earnings by high-single-digit to low-double-digit percent in 2015.

FMC Health and Nutrition

First-quarter segment revenue for FMC Health and Nutrition was $211.0 million, a decrease of 7 percent versus the prior-year quarter. Unfavorable foreign currency impacts, primarily a weaker Euro, decreased revenue by approximately 5 percent, and lower sales volumes, principally in alginates, reduced revenue by approximately 2 percent. Segment earnings of $51 million were flat versus the prior-year quarter as improved product mix offset the decline in revenue.

For 2015, full-year segment earnings are expected to increase by mid-single digit percent. Earnings growth is expected to come from continued demand for pharmaceutical excipients and benefits from ongoing operational improvement and restructuring programs.

FMC Lithium

First-quarter segment revenue for FMC Lithium was $56.0 million, a decrease of 12 percent from the prior-year quarter, driven by lower volumes for butyllithium. Segment earnings for the first quarter were $5.5 million, a decline of 17 percent versus the prior-year quarter. Improved operations were offset by the increasing cost environment in Argentina.

Demand for lithium is expected to remain strong in 2015, particularly for lithium hydroxide. However, the challenges of operating in Argentina are expected to continue to act as a drag on reported segment earnings. As a result, full-year reported segment earnings are expected to be within the range of $15 to $25 million.

Corporate and Other

Corporate and other expenses were $15.3 million, and interest expense, net, was $14.0 million. For the quarter, depreciation and amortization was $22.8 million, and capital additions were $15.4 million. On March 31, 2015, gross consolidated debt was $2.1 billion, and debt, net of cash, was $2.0 billion. The underlying adjusted tax rate was at 27.5 percent in the first quarter.

For the full year 2015, adjusted earnings per share are expected to be in the range of $3.10 to $3.40.

Cheminova

FMC closed the acquisition of Cheminova on April 21, 2015, and has commenced the process of integrating Cheminova's operations into FMC. This process is expected to result in synergies of up to $120 million in the first three years, the majority of which will be achieved from various cost-related actions. By eliminating duplicated costs, integrating procurement and supply chain activities, and aggressively targeting cross-selling opportunities, the bulk of these synergies will be in place by mid-2016.

                      costs are
                      defined as
                      those costs
                      related to
                      interest,
                      expected
                      return on plan
                      assets,

                      or
                      settlements.
                      These costs
                      are primarily
                      related to
                      changes in
                      pension plan
                      assets and
                      liabilities
                      which are tied
                      to financial

                      performance
                      and we
                      consider these
                      costs to be
                      outside our

                      removing them
                      provides a
                      better
                      understanding
                      of the

                      businesses,
                      provides

                      transparency
                      and clarity in
                      the
                      performance of
                      our retirement

                      include the
                      service cost
