For the fourth quarter, FMC reported revenue of $866 million, a 4 percent decrease over the same period in 2015. The company reported earnings of $16 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2016, as compared to a loss of $1.53 per diluted share in the fourth quarter of 2015. Excluding various restructuring charges, adjusted earnings were $0.88 per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2016, an increase of 14 percent compared to the prior year quarter.

Pierre Brondeau, FMC president, CEO and chairman said: "FMC delivered another solid quarter, to cap a year of strong quarterly performances. In Ag Solutions, we focused on maintaining price and terms rather than volume, and we rationalized low-margin products to improve the foundations of that business. Despite headwinds from Omega 3, Health and Nutrition delivered another year of strong margins and cash flow. Lithium tripled earnings by executing on its growth strategy and taking advantage of favorable market conditions. The actions we have taken throughout 2016 position FMC to deliver significant earnings growth in 2017."

FMC Agricultural Solutions

FMC Agricultural Solutions reported fourth quarter revenue of $618 million and segment earnings of $127 million. Fourth quarter segment revenue declined 6 percent year-over-year, principally due to lower sales in Latin America and Europe. Segment earnings, however, increased 25 percent compared to the fourth quarter of 2015, driven by our ability to maintain pricing, principally in Latin America, despite the strengthening of the U.S. dollar.

Segment revenue for 2016 was $2.27 billion, a 1 percent increase compared to the prior year, while full-year segment earnings were $400 million, a 10 percent increase compared to the prior year. Segment earnings margin improved 140 basis points to 17.6 percent.

For 2017, full-year segment revenue is expected to be approximately $2.2 billion to $2.4 billion and full-year segment earnings are expected to be in the range of $410 million to $450 million, an increase of 8 percent at the mid-point compared to the prior year. First quarter segment earnings are expected to be in the range of $60 million to $70 million, a decrease of approximately 20 percent at the mid-point compared to the prior year quarter. Earnings growth in 2017 is expected to be driven by lower operating costs and higher volumes, offset partially by unfavorable foreign exchange.

FMC Health and Nutrition

FMC Health and Nutrition reported fourth quarter segment revenue of $177 million and segment earnings of $54 million. Revenue increased 3 percent and segment earnings increased 17 percent compared to the fourth quarter 2015. The earnings increase was largely due to lower manufacturing costs, as expected. Segment revenue for 2016 was $744 million, 5 percent lower than 2015, while full-year segment earnings were $191 million, 2 percent lower than 2015.

Segment revenue for the full year of 2017 is anticipated to be approximately $750 million to $790 million, while full-year segment earnings are expected to be between $190 million and $200 million, an increase of 2 percent at the mid-point compared to the prior year. First quarter segment earnings are expected to be in the range of $45 million to $50 million, roughly flat at the mid-point compared to the prior year quarter. Earnings growth in 2017 is expected to be driven by higher sales and improved mix.

FMC Lithium

FMC Lithium reported fourth quarter segment revenue of $71 million, an increase of 1 percent from the prior-year quarter. Segment earnings increased to $21 million in the quarter versus $11 million in the prior-year quarter. Higher prices contributed the bulk of the increase in segment earnings. Segment revenue for 2016 was $264 million, 11 percent higher than 2015, while full-year segment earnings were $70 million, which was more than triple the segment earnings from 2015.

Segment revenue for the full year of 2017 is anticipated to be approximately $315 million to $355 million, while full-year segment earnings are expected to be between $90 million and $110 million, an increase of over 40 percent at the mid-point compared to the prior year. First quarter segment earnings are expected to be in the range of $18 million to $22 million, an increase of approximately 35 percent at the mid-point compared to the prior year quarter. Earnings growth in 2017 is expected to be driven primarily by volume from our hydroxide expansion and higher prices for our hydroxide products.

2017 Outlook

FMC expects adjusted earnings per share to be in the range of $3.20 to $3.60 for the full year 2017, an increase of 20 percent (at the mid-point) versus 2016 adjusted earnings per share of $2.82.(1)

                      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.


    (2)               The average number of shares outstanding
                      used in the three and twelve months ended
                      December 31, 2015 diluted adjusted after-
                      tax earnings from continuing operations
                      per share computation (Non-GAAP)
                      includes 0.5 million and 0.7 million
                      diluted shares, respectively. The 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 from continuing
                      operations attributable to FMC
                      stockholders.


    (a)              Three Months Ended December 31, 2016:


                     Restructuring and other charges (income)
                      includes charges of $27.6 million
                      representing final adjustments to
                      severance, asset write-offs, and other
                      costs associated with the integration of
                      Cheminova within Agricultural Solutions.
                      In the fourth quarter, we also entered
                      into an agreement to obtain certain
                      technology and intellectual property
                      rights related to compounds still under
                      development for our Agricultural
                      Solutions businesses. The $13.2 million
                      paid to acquire these rights was expensed
                      as in-process research and development
                      costs. Restructuring and other charges
                      (income) also includes $19.4 million of
                      charges for continuing environmental
                      sites treated as a Corporate charge.
                      Amounts also include miscellaneous
                      restructuring charges totaling $7.1
                      million and other charges of $0.9
                      million.


                     Three Months Ended December 31, 2015:


                     Restructuring and other charges (income)
                      includes a charge of $70.5 million as a
                      result of the mothballing of our Seal
                      Sands Omega-3 production facility within
                      Health and Nutrition, as well as $61.8
                      million of charges representing severance
                      and asset write-offs associated with the
                      integration of Cheminova within
                      Agricultural Solutions.  Amount also
                      includes $10.7 million as a result of the
                      Argentina government's action to devalue
                      its currency effective December 17, 2015.
                       This loss relates to the impacts of the
                       remeasurement of the local balance sheet
                      at the date of the devaluation and
                      impacted both our Agricultural Solutions
                      and Lithium segments. Finally, the amount
                      includes charges from continuing
                      environmental sites treated as a
                      Corporate charge of $13.4 million, a
                      charge of $5.5 million associated with an
                      agreement to obtain certain technology
                      and intellectual property rights related
                      to new compounds still under development
                      within Agricultural Solutions and net
                      miscellaneous charges of $3.9 million.


                     Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2016:


                     Restructuring and other charges (income)
                      includes charges of $42.3 million
                      representing final adjustments to
                      severance, asset write-offs, and other
                      costs associated with the integration of
                      Cheminova within Agricultural Solutions.
                      Integration-related costs associated
                      with the integration of Cheminova were
                      completed at the end of 2016. Amount also
                      includes other miscellaneous
                      restructuring costs of $11.1 million.
                      Additionally, restructuring and other
                      charges (income) includes $36.8 million
                      of charges for continuing environmental
                      sites treated as Corporate charges, $13.2
                      million associated with a license
                      agreement to obtain certain technology
                      and intellectual property rights for new
                      compounds still under development, and
                      $4.2 million as a result of the Argentina
                      government's action to devalue its
                      currency. These charges were offset by
                      other miscellaneous income of $0.3
                      million.


                     Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2015:


                     Restructuring and other charges (income)
                      includes a charge of $70.5 million as a
                      result of mothballing of our Seal Sands
                      Omega-3 production facility within
                      Health and Nutrition as well as $117.3
                      million representing severance and asset
                      disposal charges associated with the
                      integration of Cheminova with
                      Agricultural Solutions.  Charges also
                      include  $23.6 million due to a
                      reorganization with our FMC Health and
                      Nutrition segment, of which, $12.3
                      million was due to the sale of our pectin
                      manufacturing business.  Total charges
                      also include the $10.7 million due to the
                      Argentina currency devaluation, $21.7
                      million from continuing environmental
                      sites treated as a Corporate charge, and
                      $20.5 million associated with two
                      separate license agreements entered into
                      for the purpose of obtaining certain
                      technology and intellectual property
                      rights relating to new compounds still
                      under development within Agricultural
                      Solutions.  Partially offsetting these
                      charges was other income associated with
                      the sale of our remaining ownership
                      interest in a Belgian-based pesticide
                      distribution company for $26.6 million.
                      Remaining restructuring and other charges
                      (income) includes net miscellaneous
                      charges of $6.3 million.


    (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 noted above. We believe 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 acquisition
                      accounting, legal and professional fees
                      and gains or losses on hedging purchase
                      price associated with the planned or
                      completed acquisitions. Amounts represent
                      the following:

    (1)               Represents transaction costs, costs for
                      transitional employees, other acquired

                      with the integration of Cheminova with
                      Agricultural Solutions were completed at
                      the end of 2016.


    (d)               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 and Twelve Months Ended December 31,
                      2016 and 2015:


                     Discontinued operations includes, in
                      periods up to its sale, our FMC Alkali
                      Chemicals division as well as provisions,
                      net of recoveries, for environmental
                      liabilities and legal reserves and
                      expenses related to previously
                      discontinued operations. The twelve
                      months ended December 31, 2015 includes
                      the divestiture gain of approximately
                      $700 million associated with the sale of
                      FMC Alkali Chemicals division which was
                      completed on April 1, 2015.


    (f)               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 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
                      changes in tax law. Management believes
                      excluding these discrete tax items
                      assists investors and securities analysts

                     "Adjusted cash from operations"
                     provides useful information

                     to investors and securities
                     analysts. Adjusted cash from
                     operations excludes the effects
                     of acquisition-related cash
                     flows.  The Company also
                     believes that excluding the
                     effects of these items from
                     cash provided (required) by
                     operating activities allows
                     management and investors to

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. 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 periods is more useful in identifying trends in, or reaching conclusions regarding, the overall operating performance of the segment.
