Pierre Brondeau, FMC president, CEO and chairman said: "FMC delivered another solid quarter. In Ag Solutions, we saw strong volumes in Latin America and successful new product launches into Asia. Lithium earnings increased by over 45 percent, on higher pricing. Our lithium hydroxide expansion began selling product to customers in the second quarter and will be at full run rate by the fourth quarter."

FMC Agricultural Solutions

FMC Agricultural Solutions reported second quarter revenue of $583 million and segment earnings of $96 million. Second quarter segment revenue increased 6 percent year-over-year, with volume increasing 10 percent, partially offset by a 4 percent decline in price. Segment earnings decreased 5 percent compared to the second quarter of 2016, with price and geographic mix shift having the largest negative impact.

Agricultural Solutions full-year segment revenue is forecasted to be in the range of $2.3 billion to $2.4 billion, an increase of 3 percent at the mid-point compared to 2016, and full-year segment earnings are expected to be in the range of $415 million to $445 million, an increase of 8 percent at the mid-point.( 2) Segment earnings margin is expected to be approximately 20 percent in the second half of 2017. Third quarter segment earnings are forecasted to be in the range of $100 million to $120 million, an increase of 22 percent at the mid-point compared to the prior year quarter.

FMC Lithium

FMC Lithium reported second quarter segment revenue of $74 million, an increase of 17 percent from the prior-year quarter. Segment earnings increased 47 percent to $24 million in the quarter versus $17 million in the prior-year quarter. Significantly higher prices and improved mix were partially offset by increased costs.

The outlook for Lithium for the full year has been increased. Segment revenue for the full year of 2017 is forecasted to be in the range of $340 million to $360 million, an increase of 33 percent at the mid-point compared to 2016, while full-year segment earnings are expected to be between $115 million and $125 million. This revised forecast for full-year segment earnings represents an increase of $10 million versus prior guidance and an increase of over 70 percent at the mid-point compared to the prior year. Third quarter segment earnings are expected to be in the range of $30 million to $35 million, an increase of approximately 85 percent at the mid-point compared to the prior year quarter.

2017 Outlook

FMC expects adjusted earnings per share to be in the range of $2.30 to $2.50 for the full year 2017, excluding any benefit from the pending DuPont (NYSE:DD) Crop Protection transaction.(1,2)

FMC continues to expect both the Crop Protection and Health and Nutrition transactions with DuPont will close on November 1, 2017.

Such information contained herein represents management's best judgment as of the date hereof based on information currently available.

This press release contains certain "non-GAAP financial terms" which are defined on our website www.fmc.com. In addition, we have also provided on our website at www.fmc.com reconciliations of non-GAAP terms to the most directly comparable GAAP term.


    1. Although we provide forecasts for adjusted earnings per share and
       adjusted cash from operations (both 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.
    2. Outlook excludes any earnings from the pending acquisition of a
       significant portion of DuPont's Crop Protection business, as well as
       Health and Nutrition which is reported in discontinued operations.

    ____________________

    (1)               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.

    (a)              Three Months Ended June 30, 2017:

                     Restructuring and other charges (income)
                      represents $0.2 million associated with
                      our FMC Agricultural Solutions segment.
                      Additionally, restructuring and other
                      charges (income) includes charges of
                      continuing environmental sites treated as
                      a Corporate charge of $3.3 million and
                      other Corporate charges of $3.4 million.

                     Three Months Ended June 30, 2016:

                     Restructuring and other charges (income)
                      includes charges of $5.9 million
                      representing adjustments to severance and
                      asset write-offs primarily associated
                      with the integration of Cheminova with
                      FMC Agricultural Solutions. Additionally,
                      restructuring and other charges (income)
                      includes charges of continuing
                      environmental sites treated as a
                      Corporate charge of $2.5 million.
                      Remaining restructuring and other charges
                      includes net miscellaneous charges of
                      $0.7 million.

                     Restructuring and other charges (income)
                       represents $4.7 million of exit costs
                       related to the termination of our
                       interest in a variable interest entity
                       that was previously consolidated and part
                       of our FMC Agricultural Solutions
                       segment. Additionally, restructuring and
                       other charges (income) includes charges
                       of continuing environmental sites treated
                       as a Corporate charge of $5.6 million and
                       other Corporate charges of $4.9 million.

                     Six Months Ended June 30, 2016:

                     Restructuring and other charges (income)
                      includes charges of $8.9 million
                      representing adjustments to severance and
                      asset write-offs primarily associated
                      with the integration of Cheminova with
                      FMC Agricultural Solutions.  Amounts also
                      include $4.2 million associated as a
                      result of the Argentina government's
                      action to devalue its currency.
                      Additionally, restructuring and other
                      charges includes charges of continuing
                      environmental sites treated as a
                      Corporate charge of $9.1 million.
                      Remaining restructuring and other charges
                      includes net miscellaneous charges
                      (income) of $(3.6) 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 legal and
                      professional fees associated with the
                      planned or completed acquisitions.
                      Amounts represent the following:

                                           transitional employees, other acquired

                                           fees. These charges are recorded as a
                                           component of "Selling, general and
                                           administrative expense" on the condensed
                                           consolidated statements of income (loss).

     (2) Acquisition-related charges for the three
                                           and six months ended June 30, 2017 relate
                                           to the previously announced definitive
                                           agreement to acquire a significant portion
                                           of DuPont's crop protection business, while
                                           charges for the three and six months ended
                                           June 30, 2016 relate to the integration of
                                           Cheminova with FMC Agricultural Solutions,
                                           which 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 Six Months Ended June 30, 2017
                     and 2016

                    Discontinued operations include the
                     results of FMC Health and Nutrition as
                     well as provisions, net of recoveries,
                     for environmental liabilities and legal
                     reserves and expenses related to
                     previously discontinued operations.
                     Assets held for sale under U.S. GAAP are
                     required to be reported at the lower of
                     carrying value or fair value, less costs
                     to sell.  We expect a significant gain on
                     the FMC Health and Nutrition assets to be
                     sold to DuPont and therefore these assets
                     held for sale are reported at carrying
                     value.  However, the fair value of the
                     Omega-3 business, which was previously
                     part of the broader FMC Health and
                     Nutrition reporting unit, is
                     significantly less than its carrying
                     value, which includes accumulated foreign
                     currency translation adjustments that
                     would be reclassified to earnings upon
                     completion of sale.  As a result, we
                     recorded an impairment charge of
                     approximately $185 million ($165 million,
                     net of tax) during the three months ended
                     March 31, 2017. On June 22, 2017, we
                     announced that we signed a definitive
                     agreement to sell the Omega-3 business.
                     As a result, the fair value of the Omega-
                     3 business was revised in the three
                     months ended June 30, 2017 to reflect the
                     sales price. The impairment charge for
                     the six months ended June 30, 2017 was
                     approximately $171 million ($151 million,
                     net of tax).

    (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 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; 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.

    (1)              The Company believes that the Non-GAAP
                     financial measure "Adjusted cash from
                     operations" provides useful information
                     about the Company's cash flows 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 compare more easily the
                     cash flows from period to period.
