Non-GAAP Financial Terms

These slides contain certain "non-GAAP financial terms" which are defined on our websitewww.fmc.com. Such non-GAAP financial terms used in this presentation focus on expected Adjusted Earnings for all EBITDA and EPS references. Although we provide forecasts for adjusted EPS, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted cash from operations and free cash flow (all of which are 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 and related cash activity. As a result, no GAAP outlook is provided.
