Tags

FMC (NYSE:FMC) reported Q2 2026 revenue of $867 million, down 17% year over year; revenue excluding India was $841 million, down 20%. Organic revenue declined 22%. The company posted a GAAP net loss of $187 million (–$1.49 per share) and Adjusted EBITDA of $153 million, down 26%, with adjusted EPS of $0.26, down 62%.

GAAP cash from operations rose to $363 million and free cash flow to $357 million, helped by a $200 million rimisoxafen licensing upfront. FMC outlined about $1 billion of planned proceeds for debt reduction and lowered 2026 guidance: revenue to $3.50–$3.70 billion, Adjusted EBITDA to $620–$680 million, and adjusted EPS to $1.19–$1.49. The board concluded its strategic review and the company expects year-over-year growth to resume in Q4 2026.

News Explained

FMC’s roughly $1 billion debt-reduction plan has one closed $200 million payment, while three larger transactions still await closing conditions.

FMC says its approximately $1 billion debt-reduction program now includes one closed $200 million rimisoxafen licensing payment, while a $252 million India business sale, $114 million Newark property sale-leaseback and $400 million Tessenderlo equity investment remain transactions expected to generate proceeds.

The release says these actions are in place, but it also states that the India sale, property transaction and equity investment are subject to closing conditions, including regulatory approvals; only the licensing payment is expressly described as closed.

At March 31, 2026, FMC reported $390.9 million of cash and equivalents against negative first-quarter operating cash flow of $600.9 million; the supplied calculation equals 58.5 days of that quarterly operating cash use.

The specific resolution point is the closing of the three pending transactions and the resulting proceeds available for debt reduction.

The five earnings-tagged events averaged -9.02%. That history places the lowered 2026 outlook in a context of negative earnings sensitivity; moderate short positioning was an additional risk factor to monitor.

Key Terms

adjusted ebitda, free cash flow, sale-leaseback, non-gaap
4 terms
adjusted ebitda financial
"Adjusted EBITDA of $153 million, down 26 percent versus Q2 2025"
Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.
free cash flow financial
"Free cash flow was $357 million, an improvement of $318 million versus Q2 2025"
Free cash flow is the amount of money a company has left over after paying all its expenses and investing in its business, like buying equipment or updating facilities. It shows how much cash is available to reward shareholders, pay down debt, or save for future growth. This helps investors understand if a company is financially healthy and able to grow.
View in glossary
sale-leaseback financial
"signing a sale-leaseback agreement for its Newark, Delaware property for $114 million"
A sale-leaseback is a deal where an owner sells an asset—commonly real estate or equipment—to another party and immediately rents it back so they can keep using it. For investors, it matters because the seller converts a fixed asset into cash without disrupting operations, which can boost liquidity or pay down debt but also creates ongoing lease payments and long-term obligations that affect cash flow and the balance sheet.
non-gaap financial
"definitions of non-GAAP terms and reconciliations of non-GAAP figures"
Non-GAAP refers to financial measures that companies use to show their earnings or performance without including certain expenses or income that are often added back to give a different picture. It matters because it can make a company's results look better or more favorable, but it may also hide important costs, so investors need to look at both GAAP (official rules) and non-GAAP numbers to get a full understanding.

PHILADELPHIA, July 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- FMC Corporation (NYSE: FMC) today reported second quarter 2026 revenue of $867 million, down 17 percent versus second quarter 2025.  Second quarter 2026 revenue, excluding India, was $841 million, down 20 percent versus second quarter 2025, which included India.  On a GAAP basis, the company reported a loss of $1.49 per diluted share in the second quarter, a decrease of $2.02 versus second quarter 2025.  Second quarter adjusted earnings per diluted share of $0.26 was down 62 percent versus second quarter 2025.

"During the quarter, we completed several important actions that strengthened FMC's financial foundation and provide greater flexibility to execute our strategy," said Pierre Brondeau, chairman, chief executive officer and president. "With the strategic review now concluded, we have clarity on the path forward and remain focused on improving competitiveness, advancing our technology portfolio and positioning the company for long-term growth."

Second quarter sales of $841 million, excluding India, were 20 percent lower than prior year.  The removal of India represented a 5 percent sales headwind.  Volumes declined 10 percent due to lower diamide partner orders and reduced demand for core legacy products, particularly in North America, as growers contend with strained margins. Price declined 7 percent, driven by pressure on the company's core legacy products and planned Rynaxypyr® active pricing actions.  Foreign currency was a 2 percent tailwind.  The growth portfolio grew mid-single digits as lower Plant Health sales were more than offset by strong performances from new active ingredients and Cyazypyr® active, reflecting continued demand for innovative solutions. Branded sales of Rynaxypyr® were essentially flat versus prior year, excluding India, with strong demand for new formulations.

GAAP net loss in the second quarter declined $253 million primarily due to lower sales, higher restructuring costs and higher interest expense. FMC second quarter Adjusted EBITDA was $153 million, a decrease of 26 percent from the prior-year period.  Lower price and volume were partially offset by favorable costs and a moderate FX tailwind.

On a GAAP basis, cash from operations for the second quarter was $363 million, an increase of $297 million versus 2025, including a $200 million upfront payment related to the rimisoxafen active ingredient licensing agreement.  Free cash flow was $357 million, an improvement of $318 million versus Q2 2025 primarily due to higher cash from operations.

Strategy Update

FMC continued to make progress on its four operational pillars during the second quarter: reducing debt, improving the competitiveness of its core portfolio, managing the post-patent transition for Rynaxypyr® and accelerating growth of new active ingredients. These pillars remain the foundation of the company's plan to improve earnings and cash generation, positioning FMC to take full advantage of its technology-driven growth potential.

During the quarter, FMC announced the key components of its targeted approximately $1 billion of proceeds to be used for debt reduction. These actions included signing a definitive agreement for the sale of its India commercial business for $252 million, closing on a licensing agreement for rimisoxafen with Corteva for an upfront payment of $200 million, signing a sale-leaseback agreement for its Newark, Delaware property for $114 million and reaching an agreement for a $400 million equity investment from Tessenderlo Group. With these actions and other minor asset sales to be completed this year, FMC expects to generate approximately $1 billion of proceeds to be used for debt paydown.  The India commercial business sale, the Newark, Delaware property sale and the Tessenderlo Group investment are subject to various closing conditions, including regulatory approvals.

With these actions in place, the FMC Board of Directors has concluded the exploration of strategic options announced in February 2026. The company remains focused on executing its operational priorities and strengthening the foundation for future growth through its differentiated technology portfolio.

Full Year Outlook1

The company has updated its full-year 2026 revenue, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EPS and free cash flow guidance ranges.  Full year 2026 revenue guidance1 is now $3.50 billion to $3.70 billion, a decline of 7 percent at the midpoint versus prior year1. The updated guidance reflects a more challenging operating environment and incorporates the company's current view of customer purchasing patterns and market conditions.  Price is expected to be lower by mid-to-high single digits mainly due to a challenging macro environment as well as planned pricing actions for Rynaxypyr®. Excluding India, volume is expected to be in line with prior year as reduced diamide partner orders are offset by growth in nearly all other parts of the portfolio. India represents a 2 percent headwind1. FX is expected to be a low-single digit tailwind.

Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be $620 million to $680 million, a decline of 23 percent versus prior year, as lower price and an FX headwind are partially offset by favorable costs. Adjusted EPS is expected to be $1.19 to $1.49, a decrease of 55 percent versus prior year, primarily due to lower Adjusted EBITDA and increased interest expense. Free cash flow is expected to be $75 million to $225 million.  Free cash flow guidance now includes the $200 million upfront payment received for rimisoxafen licensing.

Third Quarter and Fourth Quarter Outlooks1

Third quarter revenue excluding India is expected to be in the range of $840 million to $900 million, down 9 percent at the midpoint versus third quarter 2025. Price is expected to be lower by mid-to-high single digits. FX is expected to be neutral. Volume is expected to be lower as distributors in North America shift orders from Q3 to Q4 to align purchases more closely with application timing and manage inventory levels. Adjusted EBITDA is forecasted to be in the range of $120 million to $140 million, a decrease of 45 percent at the midpoint versus the prior year as lower sales and an FX headwind are partially offset by favorable costs. FMC expects adjusted earnings per diluted share to be in the range of $0.05 to $0.13 in the third quarter, which represents a 90 percent decline at the midpoint versus third quarter 2025 driven mainly by lower adjusted EBITDA and higher interest expense.

The company expects a return to year-over-year growth in the fourth quarter. Fourth quarter revenue excluding India is expected to be in the range of $1.06 billion to $1.20 billion, an increase of 4 percent at the midpoint versus fourth quarter 2025. Volume is expected to show healthy growth driven by increased direct sales to growers in Brazil, new active ingredients and North America distributor orders that shifted from Q3 to Q4. Price is expected to decline by mid-to-high single digits.  Adjusted EBITDA is forecasted to be in the range of $275 million to $315 million, an increase of 5 percent at the midpoint versus the prior year as lower price and an FX headwind are more than offset by higher volume and favorable costs.  FMC expects adjusted earnings per diluted share to be in the range of $1.09 to $1.33 in the fourth quarter, which represents a 1 percent increase at the midpoint versus fourth quarter 2025.

This press release contains certain "non-GAAP financial terms" which are defined on our website www.fmc.com/investors.

In addition, we have also provided on our website reconciliations of non-GAAP terms to the most directly comparable GAAP terms.

  1. Although we provide forecasts for adjusted earnings per share, Adjusted EBITDA, and free cash flow (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, our India held for sale business, and discontinued operations. As a result, no GAAP outlook is provided. Starting with the third quarter 2025 guidance, we provide forecasts for revenue excluding India (non-GAAP financial measure). We are not able to forecast the GAAP revenue due to potential actions we may take during the held for sale period to prepare the business for a potential buyer and other uncertainties, including customer reaction to the announcement of our intention to sell our India commercial business. In 2026, revenue, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS outlooks provided exclude India results and variances are calculated versus 2025 results, which include India results in the first half of the year. 
  2. Organic revenue growth (non-GAAP) excludes the impact of foreign currency changes and the removal of India.

(1)

Referred to as Adjusted earnings. The Company believes that Adjusted earnings, a non-GAAP financial measure, and its presentation on a per share basis provides useful information about the Company's operating results to management, investors, and securities analysts. Adjusted earnings excludes the effects of corporate special charges, the India held for sale business, 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 business from period to period.

(2)

The average number of shares outstanding used in the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 diluted adjusted after-tax earnings from continuing operations per share computation (Non-GAAP) includes 0.6 million and 0.4 million diluted shares, respectively. This 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 June 30, 2026:




Restructuring and other charges (income) includes restructuring charges of $139.5 million primarily comprised of $136.5 million in charges related to Project Foundation, which is management's comprehensive plan to further optimize FMC's cost structure and organizational operations. The charges for Project Foundation include non-cash asset write-off and accelerated depreciation costs of $134.2 million primarily associated with the planned exit of certain production activities, which includes a write-off of $70.6 million for certain receivables due to a change in our commercial strategy in Latin America; severance and employee separation costs of $5.3 million; and, other miscellaneous income of $3.0 million, which includes cash proceeds from the sale of a legacy product line partially offset by professional service provider costs. During the three months ended June 30, 2026, we also recorded Project Focus-related costs of $2.9 million, primarily related to miscellaneous charges associated with previously implemented activities. Other charges (income) included $5.4 million of charges associated with our environmental sites and $3.1 million of other miscellaneous charges.




Three Months Ended June 30, 2025:




Restructuring and other charges (income) includes restructuring charges of $13.0 million primarily related to Project Focus, which included $5.4 million of severance and employee separation costs, and accelerated depreciation of $2.5 million on assets identified for disposal in connection with the restructuring initiative, and $4.9 million of professional service provider costs and other miscellaneous charges. Other charges (income) of $23.7 million is comprised of $7.4 million of charges associated with our environmental sites, a charge of $11.9 million due to changes in our estimate for Furadan® disposal costs at our Middleport site, and $4.4 million of other miscellaneous charges.




Six Months Ended June 30, 2026:




Restructuring and other charges (income) includes restructuring charges of $234.0 million primarily comprised of $226.6 million in charges related to Project Foundation, which include non-cash asset write-off and accelerated depreciation costs of $198.9 million primarily associated with the planned exit of certain production activities, which includes a write-off of $70.6 million for certain receivables due to a change in our commercial strategy in Latin America; severance and employee separation costs of $11.5 million; and, other miscellaneous charges of $16.2 million, which includes contract exit costs and professional service provider costs partially offset by the cash proceeds from the sale of a legacy product line. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, we also recorded Project Focus-related costs of $7.2 million, primarily related to miscellaneous charges associated with previously implemented activities. Other charges (income) included $9.3 million of charges associated with our environmental sites and $0.6 million of other miscellaneous income.




Six Months Ended June 30, 2025




Restructuring and other charges (income) includes restructuring charges of $26.6 million primarily related to Project Focus, which included $9.6 million of severance and employee separation costs, accelerated depreciation of $5.6 million on assets identified for disposal in connection with the restructuring initiative, and $11.5 million of professional service provider costs and other miscellaneous charges. Other charges (income) of $27.9 million is comprised of $10.9 million of charges associated with our environmental sites, a charge of $11.9 million due to changes in our estimate for Furadan® disposal costs at our Middleport site, and $5.1 million of other miscellaneous charges.



(b)

Our non-operating pension, postretirement and other charges (income) includes those costs (benefits) related to interest, expected return on plan assets, amortized actuarial gains and losses and the impacts of any plan curtailments or settlements. These are excluded from our Adjusted earnings and 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 continue to include the service cost and amortization of prior service cost in our Adjusted earnings results noted above. These elements reflect the current year operating costs to our businesses for the employment benefits provided to active employees.  



(c)

In July 2025, the Board of Directors approved a plan to divest the Company's commercial business in India in response to ongoing challenges in the country. In May 2026, the Company announced that it has signed a definitive agreement to sell the India commercial business to Crystal Crop Protection Limited for consideration of $252 million, subject to customary adjustments for cash, debt and working capital. The Company will continue to receive all cash generated from the ongoing operation of the India business until closing, primarily through monetization of working capital, and the sale is expected to close during 2026. The assets related to this business have been classified as held for sale since the third quarter of 2025. The business does not qualify for recognition as discontinued operations and will continue to be presented in the Company's reported GAAP results until a transaction is completed. Beginning with the third quarter of 2025, we have excluded the impact of various activities associated with the anticipated sale from our operating results for non-GAAP purposes. Refer to the table below for the adjustments related to the India held for sale business for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026.

(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)

Discontinued operations includes provisions, net of recoveries, for environmental liabilities and legal reserves and expenses related to previously discontinued operations and retained liabilities. 



(f)

We exclude the GAAP tax provision, including discrete items, from the non-GAAP measure of income, and 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 continuing operating results 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. In 2024 and 2023, we recorded significant deferred tax assets due to various tax incentives granted to the Company's Swiss subsidiaries (the "Swiss Tax Incentives"). The initial recognition of these Swiss Tax Incentives did not impact our adjusted non-GAAP effective tax rate but will be considered annually as we realize the benefits. Management believes excluding these discrete tax items, as well as the impacts of the Swiss Tax Incentives annually as the related benefits are realized, assists investors and securities analysts in understanding the tax provision and the effective tax rate related to continuing operating results thereby providing investors with useful supplemental information about FMC's operational performance.

The three and six months ended June 30, 2025 includes cash payments of $14.9 million and $70.6 million, respectively, made in connection with Project Focus.

(2)

Represents third party provider costs associated with the expected sale of our India commercial business. Proceeds from the sale of our India commercial business anticipated in 2026 will be excluded from free cash flow when received. Therefore, we have also excluded the related transaction costs from free cash flow.

(3)

Free cash flow is defined as cash provided (required) by operating activities of continuing operations (GAAP) adjusted for spending for capital additions and other investing activities as well as cash provided (required) by discontinued operations and divestiture transaction costs associated with the sale of our GSS business. We believe that this non-GAAP financial measure provides a useful basis for investors and securities analysts to evaluate the cash generated by routine business operations, including to assess our ability to repay debt, fund acquisitions and return capital to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends. Our use of free cash flow has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for an analysis of our results under U.S. GAAP.

FAQ

How did FMC (NYSE:FMC) perform in Q2 2026 in terms of revenue and earnings?

FMC reported Q2 2026 revenue of $867 million, down 17% year over year, and a GAAP net loss of $187 million. According to FMC, Adjusted EBITDA was $153 million and adjusted EPS was $0.26, declines of 26% and 62%, respectively.

Why did FMC lower its full-year 2026 outlook and what are the new guidance ranges?

FMC reduced its 2026 outlook due to a more challenging operating environment, weaker pricing and customer purchasing patterns. According to FMC, revenue excluding India is now guided at $3.50–$3.70 billion, Adjusted EBITDA at $620–$680 million, and adjusted EPS at $1.19–$1.49.

What strategic transactions did FMC announce in Q2 2026 to reduce debt?

FMC outlined transactions targeting about $1 billion of proceeds for debt reduction. According to FMC, these include selling its India commercial business for $252 million, a $200 million rimisoxafen licensing upfront, a $114 million Newark sale-leaseback, and a planned $400 million equity investment from Tessenderlo Group.

How did FMC’s free cash flow change in Q2 2026 and what is the 2026 outlook?

FMC’s Q2 2026 free cash flow was $357 million, up $318 million year over year, aided by higher cash from operations. According to FMC, full-year 2026 free cash flow is expected to range between $75 million and $225 million, including the $200 million rimisoxafen payment.

How is FMC’s India business sale expected to affect its 2026 revenue performance?

The planned sale of FMC’s India commercial business creates a headwind to reported growth in 2026. According to FMC, India represents a 2% negative impact to 2026 revenue growth calculations, and 2026 guidance figures explicitly exclude India contributions from continuing operations.
