FMC Corporation Reports Third-Quarter 2026 Results and Revised Fourth-Quarter Outlook
Pricing adjustments on channel inventory are expected to reduce future cash collections, while the pricing-model change leaves forward cash obligations unchanged.
Sentiment and the balance of points
Rhea-AI Sentiment reads the wording of the document, how positive or negative its language is on a 1 to 5 scale. The balance of points shown with the takes weighs what the document actually discloses, so the two can disagree, for example when a trial that missed its main goal is described in upbeat language.
Rhea-AI Summary
FMC (NYSE: FMC) reported third-quarter 2026 revenue of $106 million as commercial actions weighed on results and it lowered fourth-quarter guidance. Revenue fell 80% year over year, including approximately $639 million of negative commercial-action impacts. Excluding India and those actions, revenue fell 22% to $745 million. GAAP net loss widened to $2.07 billion, reflecting non-cash tax and intangible-asset adjustments alongside the commercial actions. Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP earnings measure, was negative $559 million.
Operating cash flow improved to $7 million. FMC expects fourth-quarter revenue excluding India of $1.04 billion to $1.14 billion and adjusted EBITDA of $210 million to $230 million, down 22% at the midpoint year over year. Full-year free cash flow is now expected at negative $350 million to negative $150 million. Implementation of the commercial actions remains ongoing.
How this balance works
Rhea-AI gives every point it takes from this document a weight. Minor counts 1, Moderate 3 and Major 9, so one Major point outweighs several Minor ones. The bar adds up the weights on each side, and when neither side holds more than 65% of the total the balance reads Mixed.
It reads the document as published, with the same rules for every company, and it does not look at what the market expected or at how the stock traded, so a point can be objectively good on a day the stock falls.
Rhea-AI Sentiment measures something else, the tone of the wording.

The first and larger component reflects the pricing and rebate adjustments associated with the transition to the new model. Under the previous model, rebates for the market year ended September 30 were paid in the fourth quarter, offset in part by continued fourth-quarter sales at the higher gross price. With the new model effective October 1, that cycle will not continue. As a result, the remaining adjustment to close out the historical model is reflected in third-quarter results.
The second component reflects adjustments needed to bring inventory already in the

The estimated third-quarter financial impact of both actions is reflected in the company's reported results; however, implementation is ongoing. Discussions with customers are underway, and FMC expects the transition to occur over the next three quarters.

Statement under the Safe Harbor Provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995: FMC and its representatives may from time to time make written or oral statements that are "forward-looking" and provide other than historical information, including statements contained in this press release, in FMC's other filings with the SEC, and in presentations, reports or letters to FMC stockholders.
In some cases, FMC has identified these forward-looking statements by such words or phrases as "outlook", "will likely result," "is confident that," "expect," "expects," "should," "could," "may," "will continue to," "believe," "believes," "anticipates," "predicts," "forecasts," "estimates," "projects," "potential," "intends" or similar expressions identifying "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including the negative of those words or phrases. Such forward-looking statements are based on our current views and assumptions regarding future events, future business conditions and the projections, outlook and guidance for the company based on currently available information. The forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results to be materially different from any results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by any forward-looking statement including but not limited to the impact of certain commercial actions. These statements are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to risks related to business competition; impacts of climatic conditions; unexpected market conditions; changes in the regulatory environment; cost of commodities; changes in price availability of key raw materials; our ability to innovate and successfully introduce new products or technologies; ability to compete and protect our intellectual property rights; global and exchange rate fluctuations; and potential litigation and regulatory matters, and are qualified by reference to the risk factors included in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 (the "2025 Form 10-K"), the section captioned "Forward-Looking Information" in Part II of the 2025 Form 10-K and to similar risk factors and cautionary statements in all other reports and forms filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). We wish to caution readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. Forward-looking statements are qualified in their entirety by the above cautionary statement.
We specifically decline to undertake any obligation, and specifically disclaim any duty, to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements that have been made to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events, except as may be required by law.
This press release contains certain "non-GAAP financial terms" which are defined on our website www.fmc.com/investors. Such terms include Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted earnings, free cash flow and organic revenue growth. In addition, we have also provided on our website reconciliations of non-GAAP terms to the most directly comparable GAAP terms.
- 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.
- Organic revenue growth (non-GAAP) excludes the impact of foreign currency changes and the removal of India.

The average number of shares outstanding used in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 diluted adjusted after-tax earnings from continuing operations per share computation (Non-GAAP) includes 0.7 million and 0.6 million diluted shares, respectively. This 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 during each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025. |

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. |

(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. |

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 |

FAQ
AI-generated questions and answers. How Rhea-AI works. Not financial advice.
What were FMC's third-quarter 2026 revenue and net loss?
FMC reported $106 million in revenue and a $2.07 billion GAAP net loss for third-quarter 2026. Revenue fell 80% year over year. The net loss compared with $569 million a year earlier and reflected non-cash adjustments related to deferred tax assets and intangible assets, alongside commercial actions.
What is FMC's revised fourth-quarter 2026 outlook?
FMC expects revenue excluding India of $1.04 billion to $1.14 billion, adjusted EBITDA of $210 million to $230 million and adjusted earnings per diluted share of $0.56 to $0.70. At the midpoints, revenue is essentially flat versus fourth-quarter 2025, while adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EPS decline 22% and 48%, respectively.
How do FMC's commercial actions affect future cash collections?
The approximately $175 million channel-inventory pricing adjustment is the only component of the adjusted EBITDA charge expected to reduce future cash collections. It does not affect current-period cash. The approximately $500 million North America pricing-model change leaves forward cash obligations unchanged.
Does FMC's channel-inventory adjustment change its current selling prices?
The channel-inventory pricing adjustments do not change FMC's current selling prices. They apply only to products already held by channel customers in Brazil, the United States, Canada and Argentina. FMC intends the adjustments to support downstream movement of those products and future portfolio demand.
What changed in FMC's North America pricing and rebate model?
FMC's new North America model, effective October 1, 2026, is intended to reduce the gap between gross and net pricing. Under the previous model, rebates for the market year ended September 30 were paid in the fourth quarter and partly offset by continued sales at higher gross prices. That cycle will not continue under the new model.
