FMC Corporation Announces Second Quarter 2009 Results

- Second quarter 2009 earnings of $1.10 per diluted share before restructuring and other income and charges

- Full-year 2009 outlook revised to $4.00 to $4.20 per diluted share before restructuring and other income and charges

PHILADELPHIA, July 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- FMC Corporation (NYSE: FMC) today reported net income of $69.3 million, or $0.94 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2009, versus net income of $84.4 million, or $1.10 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2008. Net income in the current quarter included restructuring and other income and charges of $11.3 million after-tax, or charges of $0.16 per diluted share, versus restructuring and other income and charges of $14.5 million after-tax, or charges of $0.19 per diluted share, in the prior-year quarter. Excluding these items in both periods, the company earned $1.10 per diluted share in the current quarter, a decrease of 15 percent versus $1.29 per diluted share in the prior-year quarter. Second quarter revenue of $700.3 million was 13 percent lower than $806.6 million in the prior year.

William G. Walter, FMC chairman, president and chief executive officer, said, "Our second quarter results reflect continued strong performance in our businesses serving end markets with low correlation to economic cycles. As expected, volumes in our businesses with economically-sensitive end markets were significantly impacted by the global recession. Agricultural Products reported record results driven by strong North American performance and continued supply chain improvements. Specialty Chemicals' earnings were slightly lower as a result of strong BioPolymer performance offset by weak lithium primaries. Industrial Chemicals' results directly reflected the impact of lower volumes and higher raw material costs."

Revenue in Agricultural Products of $252.4 million decreased 9 percent versus the prior-year quarter, as sales gains in North America were more than offset by lower sales in Europe and Asia as well as unfavorable currency impacts. Segment earnings of $90.5 million increased 7 percent versus the year-ago quarter, reflecting stronger performance in North America, favorable global supply chain performance and lower selling and administrative expenses.

Revenue in Specialty Chemicals was $192.7 million, essentially level to the prior-year quarter. Higher selling prices and volumes in BioPolymer were more than offset by lower lithium volumes. Segment earnings of $40.5 million were 2 percent lower than the year-ago quarter, as favorable commercial performance and the benefits of productivity initiatives and acquisitions in BioPolymer were more than offset by lower lithium volumes, temporary plant curtailments taken to reduce inventories and unfavorable currency translation.

Revenue in Industrial Chemicals of $256.2 million declined 24 percent from the prior-year quarter, as lower volumes across the segment and unfavorable currency translation more than offset higher selling prices in most businesses. Segment earnings of $13.5 million were 70 percent lower than the year-ago quarter, driven by the lower volumes and higher raw material costs, primarily phosphate rock.

Corporate expense was $10.3 million, down from $13.1 million in the prior-year quarter. Interest expense, net, was $6.5 million, as compared to $8.3 million in the year-ago quarter. On June 30, 2009, gross consolidated debt was $633.8 million, and debt, net of cash, was $566.8 million. For the quarter, depreciation and amortization was $30.9 million and capital expenditures were $40.8 million.

Six Months Results

Revenue was $1,390.8 million, a decrease of 11 percent as compared with $1,556.8 million in the prior-year period. Net income was $138.4 million, 22 percent lower than $178.3 million in the year-earlier period. Net income in the current period included restructuring and other income and charges of $31.5 million, versus restructuring and other income and charges of $11.8 million in the prior-year period. Excluding these charges, the company earned $169.9 million in the first half of 2009, a decrease of 11 percent versus $190.1 million in the first half of 2008.

Revenue in Agricultural Products was $513.8 million, a decrease of 7 percent versus the prior-year period, as sales gains in North America were more than offset by lower sales in Latin America, primarily Brazil, and unfavorable currency impacts in Europe and Asia. Segment earnings were $183.0 million, an increase of 9 percent from the first half of 2008, as a result of higher selling prices, favorable product and geographic mix, continued global supply chain productivity improvements and lower selling and administrative expenses.

Revenue in Specialty Chemicals was $367.2 million, 2 percent lower than the prior-year period, as strong commercial performance in BioPolymer was more than offset by lower lithium volumes. Segment earnings of $78.6 million decreased 3 percent versus the year-earlier period as favorable commercial performance in BioPolymer and the benefits of productivity initiatives and acquisitions were more than offset by lower lithium volumes, temporary plant curtailments taken to reduce inventories and unfavorable currency translation.

Revenue in Industrial Chemicals was $512.2 million, a decrease of 19 percent versus the prior-year period, as lower volumes more than offset higher selling prices across the segment. Segment earnings of $36.3 million declined 55 percent versus the year-earlier period, driven by lower volumes and higher raw material costs, particularly phosphate rock, which more than offset favorable pricing across the segment.

Corporate expense was $21.6 million, down from $25.0 million in the year-earlier period. Interest expense, net, was $13.5 million, as compared to $17.0 million in the prior-year period. For the period, depreciation and amortization was $61.2 million and capital expenditures were $71.8 million.

Outlook

Regarding the outlook for 2009, Walter said, "For the full year 2009, we have revised our outlook for earnings before restructuring and other income and charges to $4.00 to $4.20 per diluted share. Relative to the first half of the year, we anticipate improved business conditions in the second half with our performance benefiting from volume gains in nearly every business, improving agricultural market conditions in Brazil and lower raw material costs, particularly in Foret."

Walter added, "For the third quarter of 2009, we expect earnings before restructuring and other income and charges of $0.85 to $0.95 per diluted share. In Agricultural Products, we look for earnings to increase 30 to 35 percent driven by improving market conditions in Brazil and lower raw material costs. In Specialty Chemicals, we expect earnings to be up in the mid-single digits as continued strong performance in BioPolymer is partially offset by lower lithium results. In Industrial Chemicals, earnings are expected to decline 55 to 65 percent, as higher soda ash selling prices and improving raw material costs are more than offset by lower volumes across the segment and reduced selling prices in phosphates."

FMC will conduct its second quarter conference call and webcast at 11:00 a.m. ET on Thursday, July 30, 2009. This event will be available live and as a replay on the web at http://www.fmc.com. Prior to the conference call, the company will also provide supplemental information on the web including its 2009 Outlook Statement, definitions of non-GAAP terms and reconciliations of non-GAAP figures to the nearest available GAAP term.

    * The Company believes that the Non-GAAP financial measure "After-tax
      income from continuing operations, excluding restructuring and other
      income and charges, 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.
      The Company also believes that excluding the effect of restructuring and
      other income and charges from operating results allows management and
      investors to compare more easily the financial performance of its
      underlying businesses from period to period.

    Please see the reconciliation of Non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP
    financial results.

    (a) Discontinued operations for the three and six months ended June 30,
        2009 and 2008, respectively, primarily includes provisions for
        environmental liabilities and legal reserves and expenses related to
        previously discontinued operations.

    (b) 2009
        Restructuring and other charges (income) for the three months ended
        June 30, 2009 include charges related to the closure of our
        manufacturing operations at our Barcelona, Spain facility, which is
        part of our Industrial Chemicals segment ($12.5 million), our Bayport
        butyllithium facility which is part of our Specialty Chemicals segment
        ($3.4 million) and continued charges related to the closure of our
        Baltimore agricultural chemicals facility ($0.5 million). We also
        incurred charges related to the realignment of our Alginates
        manufacturing operations in our Specialty Chemicals segment ($3.5
        million). Additionally, restructuring and other charges (income) for
        the three months ended June 30, 2009 include severance charges in our
        Industrial Chemicals segment and Specialty Chemicals segment ($2.2
        million and $0.8 million, respectively), asset abandonment charges of
        $1.2 million, primarily in our Specialty Chemicals segment, and
        charges associated with continuing environmental sites as a Corporate
        charge ($2.8 million). Remaining restructuring and other charges
        (income) for the three months ended June 30, 2009 of $3.2 million
        primarily represents settlements with state authorities for property
        claims and adjustments related to previously recorded restructuring
        reserves.

        For the six months ended June 30, 2009, amounts include charges
        related to the closure of our manufacturing operations at our
        Barcelona, Spain facility ($12.5 million) and our Peroxygens facility
        in Santa Clara, Mexico ($6.6 million), both of which are part of our
        Industrial Chemicals segment, our Bayport butyllithium facility which
        is part of our Specialty Chemicals segment ($7.5 million) and
        continued charges related to the closure of our Baltimore agricultural
        chemicals facility ($1.3 million). We also incurred charges related to
        the realignment of our Alginates manufacturing operations in our
        Specialty Chemicals segment ($6.3 million). Additionally,
        restructuring and other charges (income) for the six months ended June
        30, 2009 include severance charges in our Industrial Chemicals segment
        and Specialty Chemicals segment ($3.8 million and $0.8 million,
        respectively), asset abandonment charges in our Agricultural Products
        segment, Industrial Chemicals segment and Specialty Chemicals segment
        ($2.6 million, $1.4 million and $1.1 million, respectively), charges
        associated with further rights acquired from a collaboration and
        license agreement in our Agricultural Products segment ($1.0 million)
        and charges associated with continuing environmental sites as a
        Corporate charge ($4.0 million). Remaining restructuring and other
        charges (income) for the six months ended June 30, 2009 of $3.7
        million primarily represents settlements with state authorities for
        property claims and adjustments related to previously recorded
        restructuring reserves.

        2008
        Restructuring and other charges (income) for the three months ended
        June 30, 2008 primarily include continued charges related to the
        closure of our Baltimore agricultural chemicals facility ($5.8
        million) and charges associated with the decision made in the second
        quarter of 2008 to close our Jacksonville, Florida agricultural
        formulation plant ($2.6 million). Both of these charges are associated
        with our Agricultural Products segment. We also incurred charges
        associated with continuing environmental sites as a Corporate charge
        ($1.1 million) and restructuring related severance charges in our
        Industrial Chemicals segment ($0.8 million).

        For the six months ended June 30, 2008, amounts include a net gain
        associated with the sale of our major research and development
        facility in Princeton, New Jersey ($29.6 million - gain) and a gain
        associated with the sale of our sodium sulfate assets in Foret which
        is part of our Industrial Chemicals segment ($3.6 million - gain).
        Fully offsetting these gains were continued charges related to the
        closure of our Baltimore agricultural chemicals facility ($21.6
        million) and Jacksonville agricultural formulation facility ($2.6
        million), charges associated with continuing environmental sites as a
        Corporate charge ($6.0 million) and restructuring related severance
        charges in our Agricultural Products segment and Industrial Chemicals
        segment ($1.8 million and $1.9 million, respectively).

    (c) Charges related to amortization of the inventory fair value step-up
        resulting from the application of purchase accounting associated with
        the third quarter 2008 acquisition in our Specialty Chemicals segment
        and the first quarter 2009 acquisition in our Agricultural Products
        segment. On the condensed consolidated statements of operations these
        charges are included in "Costs of sales and services" for the three
        and six months ended June 30, 2009.

    (d) Tax adjustments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 are
        primarily a result of a reduction in our liability for unrecognized
        tax benefits due to settlements of audits and expiration of statute of
        limitations.  There were no tax adjustments for the three and six
        months ended June 30, 2008.

        Statements" which changes the accounting and reporting for minority
        interests.  The standard requires that minority interests be
        recharacterized as noncontrolling interests and classified as a
        component of equity.
