Segment Results and Outlook
FMC Agricultural Solutions
First-quarter segment revenues for FMC Agricultural Solutions were $466.9 million, a decrease of 6 percent versus the prior-year quarter. First-quarter segment earnings were $120.1 million, a 26 percent decrease over the prior-year quarter. In North America, persistent cold weather throughout the quarter delayed demand for pre-emergent products, and in Brazil, dry conditions depressed production in sugarcane. Segment operating margin was lower compared to the prior-year quarter primarily due to unfavorable foreign exchange impacts, continued investment in sales, marketing and technical personnel and weather-related changes in product mix.
For the remainder of the year, multiple factors will contribute to delivering the expected mid-teens percent growth in full-year segment earnings over 2013. A recovery from delayed first quarter sales and a favorable crop mix toward soybeans in North America will drive greater demand for FMC’s herbicides compared to the previous planting season. In Latin America, larger cotton and soybean acres and increased sugarcane production in Brazil will contribute to greater growth in the second half of 2014. New product introductions and benefits from market access investments will also contribute to expected growth.
FMC Health and Nutrition
First-quarter segment revenues for FMC Health and Nutrition were $226.2 million, an increase of 18 percent versus the prior-year quarter. Segment earnings of $50.9 million were 17 percent higher than the prior-year quarter. Earnings growth was driven by demand for colloidal MCC and pharmaceutical binders and contributions from omega-3, partially offset by unfavorable foreign exchange impacts. In the quarter, the company received the required regulatory approvals for its new Seal Sands, U.K., plant and began commercial sales of new pharmaceutical grade omega-3 product lines.

The company maintains its expectation of a full-year 2014 segment earnings increase of mid-teens percent versus 2013 driven by higher volumes in texture and stability solutions, omega-3s, natural colors and binder product lines.
FMC Minerals
First-quarter segment revenues for FMC Minerals were $248.7 million, an increase of 11 percent from the prior-year quarter. First-quarter segment earnings of $36.8 million were up 27 percent versus the prior-year quarter. As expected, revenue growth was driven in Alkali Chemicals by year-over-year improvements in Asian soda ash pricing and increased production volumes in the quarter. This was partially offset by headwinds primarily related to higher energy costs. Lithium manufacturing operations performed according to plan with higher production volumes meeting increased demand, especially in energy storage applications. In the quarter, Lithium’s operating margin continued to increase, reaching the low-teens percent, and it is expected to continue to improve in the remaining quarters of the year.
In the full year outlook for Alkali Chemicals, FMC is maintaining its approach of only including current contract prices when forecasting pricing improvements. Segment earnings in 2014 are expected to be up in the high-teens percent versus the previous year, primarily driven by improved Lithium operations, incremental soda ash volume increases and more favorable contractual soda ash pricing versus 2013.
Corporate and Other
Corporate and other expenses were $17.5 million, and interest expense, net, was $13.5 million. For the quarter, depreciation and amortization was $33.1 million and capital additions were $46.8 million. On March 31, 2014, gross consolidated debt was $1.8 billion, and debt, net of cash, was $1.7 billion.

In the first quarter, the company announced a plan to separate into two independent, publicly-listed companies. FMC began initial preparations in the first quarter and remains on track to complete the separation in the first half of 2015.
Outlook
Pierre Brondeau, FMC president, CEO and chairman, said: “Overall, our businesses performed as expected in the first quarter and, despite the weather impacting our Agricultural Solutions business in the quarter, we are reaffirming our outlook for the full-year. We are confident that our new product innovations and strong customer relationships will deliver another record year in Agricultural Solutions. Health and Nutrition continues to experience demand growth in its core end markets that will be supplemented by growth in sales of omega-3 products. In FMC Minerals, both Alkali Chemicals and Lithium are performing well and delivering on their targets for both volumes and price.
“We announced our plan to separate into two publicly-traded companies as part of a long-term strategy to create additional value. We recognize that this process is complex, but we have already made good progress. We created a dedicated Program Management Office to execute the separation-related activities, allowing our businesses to remain focused solely on their operations while the separation takes place.”

____________________
(a) Three Months Ended March 31, 2014:
Restructuring and other charges (income) includes a charge of $4.9 million associated with a reorganization of our Health and Nutrition segment. Additionally, this amount includes charges associated with continuing environmental sites treated as a Corporate charge of $1.4 million. Remaining restructuring and other charges (income) includes net miscellaneous charges of $0.4 million.
Three Months Ended March 31, 2013:
Restructuring and other charges (income) primarily included a charge of $5.8 million associated with our Lithium restructuring within our FMC Minerals segment. Additionally, charges included amounts associated with continuing environmental sites treated as a Corporate charge of $1.0 million. Remaining restructuring and other charges (income) included net miscellaneous charges of $2.5 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) Business separation costs for the three months ended March 31, 2014 are associated with the separation of FMC Corporation into two independent public companies, announced on March 10, 2014.
(d) Charges for March 31, 2014 relate to the expensing of the inventory fair value step-up resulting from the application of purchase accounting associated with acquisitions completed in 2013. There were no charges for the three months ended March 31, 2013. On the condensed consolidated statements of income, these charges are included in “Costs of sales and services”.
(e) Discontinued operations includes our FMC Peroxygens business results as well as provisions, net of recoveries, for environmental liabilities and legal reserves and expenses related to previously discontinued operations. For the three months ended March 31, 2014 the balance includes the final divestiture charge associated with the sale of FMC Peroxygens business which was completed on February 28, 2014.
(f) The tax adjustments in the three months ended March 31, 2013 were primarily related to revisions to our tax liabilities associated with prior year tax matters. There are no tax adjustments for the three months ended March 31, 2014.
