Pierre Brondeau, FMC president, CEO and chairman said: "We are pleased to have achieved adjusted EPS towards the higher end of our first quarter guidance range and to increase our full-year adjusted EPS guidance by five cents. With Ag Solutions and Health and Nutrition delivering earnings in line with guidance, it was the outperformance by Lithium that drove this strong result and the guidance increase. We came into 2016 expecting challenging agricultural market conditions, particularly in the Americas, and so far these expectations are proving to be accurate. However, the actions we continue to take in managing the business leave us confident in our full-year outlook for Agricultural Solutions."

FMC Agricultural Solutions

First quarter segment revenue for FMC Agricultural Solutions was $546 million, an increase of 39 percent versus reported revenue for the prior-year quarter. Segment earnings were $82 million, which was flat versus prior-year reported results. On a pro forma basis, first quarter segment revenue and earnings each declined 22 percent compared to the same period in 2015, as lower sales volume in North America and Brazil, plus foreign currency swings, more than offset higher prices and the benefits of revenue synergies and new product introductions. Lower third-party product volumes contributed 4 percent to the revenue headwind in the quarter. At the segment earnings level, price increases in Brazil more than offset the year-over-year impact of the weaker real, but the strength of the U.S. dollar resulted in headwinds in Europe, Asia, and other parts of Latin America. Agricultural Solutions segment operating margins were flat year-over-year, on a pro forma basis. For 2016, full-year segment revenue is expected to be in the range of $2.3 billion to $2.5 billion and full-year segment earnings are expected to be in the range of $380 million to $420 million, with second quarter segment earnings in the range of $90 million to $110 million.

FMC Health and Nutrition

FMC Health and Nutrition first quarter segment revenue was $192 million, 9 percent lower versus the prior-year quarter, driven primarily by lower sales in Omega-3 and a 2 percent headwind from foreign currency. Segment earnings of $47 million were down 7 percent compared to the prior-year quarter, principally due to lower revenue, but lower operating costs helped drive an increase in segment operating margins. Segment revenue for the full year of 2016 is expected to be in the range of $775 million to $825 million, while full-year segment earnings are expected to be between $198 million and $208 million. Second quarter segment earnings are expected to be in the range of $49 million to $53 million.

FMC Lithium

FMC Lithium reported first quarter segment revenue of $60 million, an increase of 8 percent from the prior-year quarter, and first quarter segment earnings of $14.9 million, an increase of $9.4 million compared to the first quarter of 2015. Price increases across the portfolio combined with cost reductions contributed the majority of the earnings increase, as the benefits of recent cost savings projects and lower raw material costs were realized. Demand trends across specialty end markets remained strong, driving price increases in both the spot market and new contracts in the first quarter.

Due to the improved forecast for this business, segment earnings are now expected to be between $43 and $53 million for the full year of 2016, more than double 2015 earnings at the mid-point of the range and $10 million higher than previous guidance. Segment revenue for the full year of 2016 is now expected to be in the range of $245 million to $265 million, an increase of $5 million versus prior guidance. Segment earnings in the second quarter are expected to be in the range of $10 million to $14 million.

Corporate and Other

For the quarter, corporate and other expenses were $17 million, and net interest expense was $21 million. Depreciation and amortization was $33.6 million, and capital additions were $27.8 million. On March 31, 2016, gross consolidated debt was $2.1 billion, and debt, net of cash, was $2.0 billion. The Adjusted Tax Rate was 26 percent in the quarter.

2016 Outlook

We are increasing adjusted earnings per share by five cents versus previous guidance to a range of $2.55 to $2.85 for the full year of 2016, an increase of 9 percent (at the mid-point) versus 2015 adjusted earnings per share of $2.47.

    (1)              Referred to as Adjusted Operating
                     Profit.

    (2)              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 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
                     businesses from period to period.
                     Additionally, the above schedule
                     is presented in a format which
                     reflects the manner in which we
                     manage our business and is not in
                     accordance with GAAP.

    (3)              For the three months ended March
                     31, 2015, the average number of
                     shares outstanding used in diluted
                     adjusted after-tax earnings from
                     continuing operations per share
                     computation (Non-GAAP) includes
                     0.8 million diluted shares. This
                     number of shares differs from the
                     average number of shares
                     outstanding used in diluted
                     earnings per share computations
                     (GAAP) as we had a net loss
                     attributable to FMC stockholders.

                        (income) includes charges of $3.2
                        million representing adjustments
                        to severance and asset write-offs
                        primarily associated with the
                        integration of Cheminova with

                        also include $4.2 million as a

                       Restructuring and other charges
                        (income) includes a charge of
                        $15.0 million associated with a
                        license agreement entered into for

                        technology and intellectual
                        property rights relating to new
                        compounds still under development
                        both of which pertain our FMC
                        Agricultural Solutions segment.
                        Additionally, restructuring and
                        other charges includes charges of
                        $2.1 million associated with a
                        reorganization of our Health and
                        Nutrition segment and continuing
                        environmental sites treated as a
                        Corporate charge of  $1.9 million.
                        Remaining restructuring and other

    (b)                 Our non-operating pension and
                        postretirement costs are defined
                        as those costs related to
                        interest, expected return on plan
                        assets, amortized actuarial gains
                        and losses and the impacts of any
                        plan curtailments or settlements.
                        These costs 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 exclude these non-
                        operating pension and
                        postretirement costs from our
                        segments as we believe that
                        removing them provides a better
                        understanding of the underlying
                        profitability of our businesses,
                        provides increased transparency
                        and clarity in the performance of
                        our retirement plans and enhances
                        period-over-period
                        comparability. We continue to
                        include the service cost and
                        amortization of prior service cost
                        in our Adjusted Earnings results

    (d)                Three Months Ended March 31, 2016 and 2015


                       Discontinued operations includes
                        provisions, net of recoveries, for
                        environmental liabilities,  legal
                        reserves and expenses related to
                        previously discontinued operations.
                        Discontinued operations for the three
                        months ended March 31, 2015 also include
                        the results of the FMC Alkali business.


    (e)                 We exclude the GAAP tax provision,
                        including discrete items, from the Non-
                        GAAP measure of income, and instead
                        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 ongoing business
                        operations in the current year; unusual
                        or infrequently occurring items; 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 ongoing operations thereby
                        providing investors with useful
                        supplemental information about FMC's
                        operational performance.

FMC CORPORATION
FMC AGRICULTURAL SOLUTIONS PRO FORMA FINANCIAL RESULTS
(Unaudited, in millions)

In the second quarter of 2015, we began to present pro forma combined results for the FMC Agricultural Solutions segment for 2015 and 2014. We believe that reviewing our operating results by combining actual and pro forma results for the FMC Agricultural Solutions segment for 2015 is more useful in identifying trends in, or reaching conclusions regarding, the overall operating performance of this segment. Our pro forma segment information will include adjustments as if the Cheminova transaction had occurred on January 1, 2015. Our pro forma data will also be adjusted for the effects of acquisition accounting but will not include adjustments for cost related to integration activities, cost savings or synergies that might be achieved by the combined businesses. Pro forma amounts to be presented will not necessarily be indicative of what our results would have been had we operated Cheminova since January 1, 2015, nor our future results. We believe that reviewing our operating results by combining actual and pro forma results for the FMC Agricultural Solutions segment for these interim periods is more useful in identifying trends in, or reaching conclusions regarding, the overall operating performance of the segment.
