[10-Q] FMC Corporation Quarterly Earnings Report

Form Type
10-Q
Compass, Inc. filed a Form D reporting completion of a $501,897 private placement of Class A common stock under Rule 506(b). The shares were issued on 16 Jul 2025 to a single investor in satisfaction of a hold-back obligation from a prior acquisition; therefore the transaction is tied to a business-combination settlement rather than a new cash raise.
The New York-based Delaware corporation is classified as operating in the Residential Real Estate industry and discloses annual revenue of over $100 million. Minimum outside investment was $10,000; no non-accredited investors participated. No sales commissions or finder’s fees were paid, and the issuer does not expect the offering to continue beyond one year.
Given the company’s revenue scale, the 0.5 million-dollar issuance appears immaterial and enables Compass to conserve cash while meeting acquisition-related obligations with negligible dilution.
Compass, Inc. ha depositato un Modulo D segnalando il completamento di un collocamento privato di 501.897 $ di azioni ordinarie di Classe A ai sensi della Regola 506(b). Le azioni sono state emesse il 16 luglio 2025 a un unico investitore per soddisfare un obbligo di trattenuta derivante da un'acquisizione precedente; pertanto, l’operazione è collegata a una liquidazione di una fusione aziendale e non a una nuova raccolta di capitale.
La società, con sede a New York e costituita nel Delaware, opera nel settore del Mercato Immobiliare Residenziale e dichiara un fatturato annuo superiore a 100 milioni di dollari. L'investimento minimo esterno era di 10.000 $; non hanno partecipato investitori non accreditati. Non sono state pagate commissioni di vendita né compensi a intermediari, e l'emittente non prevede che l'offerta prosegua oltre un anno.
Considerando la dimensione del fatturato dell’azienda, l'emissione da 0,5 milioni di dollari appare irrilevante e consente a Compass di conservare liquidità soddisfacendo gli obblighi legati all’acquisizione con una diluizione trascurabile.
Compass, Inc. presentó un Formulario D reportando la finalización de una colocación privada de $501,897 en acciones ordinarias Clase A bajo la Regla 506(b). Las acciones fueron emitidas el 16 de julio de 2025 a un solo inversor para cumplir con una obligación de retención derivada de una adquisición previa; por lo tanto, la transacción está vinculada a un acuerdo de combinación empresarial y no a una nueva recaudación de efectivo.
La corporación con sede en Nueva York y registrada en Delaware se clasifica en la industria de Bienes Raíces Residenciales y declara ingresos anuales superiores a $100 millones. La inversión mínima externa fue de $10,000; no participaron inversores no acreditados. No se pagaron comisiones de ventas ni honorarios a intermediarios, y el emisor no espera que la oferta continúe más allá de un año.
Dada la escala de ingresos de la compañía, la emisión de medio millón de dólares parece insignificante y permite a Compass conservar efectivo mientras cumple con obligaciones relacionadas con adquisiciones con una dilución mínima.
Compass, Inc.는 규칙 506(b)에 따라 클래스 A 보통주 501,897달러의 사모 발행 완료를 보고하는 Form D를 제출했습니다. 이 주식은 2025년 7월 16일 단일 투자자에게 이전 인수와 관련된 보류 의무를 충족하기 위해 발행되었으며, 따라서 이 거래는 신규 자금 조달이 아닌 사업 결합 정산과 관련되어 있습니다.
뉴욕에 본사를 둔 델라웨어 법인은 주거용 부동산 산업에 속하며 연간 매출이 1억 달러 이상임을 공개했습니다. 최소 외부 투자 금액은 10,000달러였으며, 비인증 투자자는 참여하지 않았습니다. 판매 수수료나 중개 수수료는 지급되지 않았으며, 발행사는 이 공모가 1년 이상 지속될 것으로 예상하지 않습니다.
회사의 매출 규모를 고려할 때, 50만 달러 발행은 중요하지 않은 수준으로 보이며, Compass가 희석을 최소화하면서 인수 관련 의무를 이행하고 현금을 보존할 수 있게 합니다.
Compass, Inc. a déposé un formulaire D rapportant l’achèvement d’un placement privé de 501 897 $ d’actions ordinaires de Classe A selon la règle 506(b). Les actions ont été émises le 16 juillet 2025 à un seul investisseur afin de satisfaire une obligation de blocage issue d’une acquisition antérieure ; cette transaction est donc liée à un règlement de fusion-acquisition plutôt qu’à une nouvelle levée de fonds.
La société basée à New York, immatriculée dans le Delaware, est classée dans le secteur de l’immobilier résidentiel et déclare un chiffre d’affaires annuel supérieur à 100 millions de dollars. L’investissement minimum externe était de 10 000 $ ; aucun investisseur non accrédité n’a participé. Aucune commission de vente ni frais d’intermédiation n’a été versée, et l’émetteur ne prévoit pas que l’offre se poursuive au-delà d’un an.
Compte tenu de l’ampleur du chiffre d’affaires de l’entreprise, cette émission de 0,5 million de dollars semble négligeable et permet à Compass de préserver sa trésorerie tout en respectant ses obligations liées à l’acquisition avec une dilution minime.
Compass, Inc. hat ein Formular D eingereicht, in dem die Durchführung einer privaten Platzierung von 501.897 $ Stammaktien der Klasse A gemäß Regel 506(b) gemeldet wird. Die Aktien wurden am 16. Juli 2025 an einen einzelnen Investor ausgegeben, um eine Zurückbehaltungsverpflichtung aus einer früheren Übernahme zu erfüllen; daher ist die Transaktion an eine Unternehmenszusammenführungsabwicklung gebunden und keine neue Kapitalerhöhung.
Das in New York ansässige Unternehmen mit Sitz in Delaware ist in der Branche Wohnimmobilien tätig und gibt einen Jahresumsatz von über 100 Millionen Dollar an. Die Mindestinvestition von außen betrug 10.000 $; es nahmen keine nicht akkreditierten Investoren teil. Es wurden keine Verkaufsprovisionen oder Vermittlungsgebühren gezahlt, und der Emittent erwartet nicht, dass das Angebot länger als ein Jahr andauert.
Angesichts des Umsatzvolumens des Unternehmens erscheint die Emission in Höhe von 0,5 Millionen Dollar unerheblich und ermöglicht es Compass, liquide Mittel zu schonen und gleichzeitig akquisitionsbezogene Verpflichtungen mit vernachlässigbarer Verwässerung zu erfüllen.
Positive
- No cash outlay: settling acquisition holdback with equity preserves cash resources.
- No fees: transaction incurred zero sales commissions or finder’s fees, minimizing costs.
Negative
- Share dilution: issuance of additional stock, albeit small, marginally increases outstanding shares.
Insights
TL;DR: $502K Rule 506(b) share issuance settles acquisition holdback; negligible size vs. >$100M revenue, minimal dilution, neutral impact.
The Form D reveals Compass issued $501,897 of Class A stock to one accredited investor on 16 Jul 2025. Proceeds settle a previously agreed holdback tied to an acquisition, so the deal avoids cash outflow. Revenue category (> $100 m) implies the issuance is less than 1% of annual sales, suggesting de minimis dilution and no balance-sheet strain. Absence of commissions keeps the transaction cost-efficient. Because the filing reflects routine post-M&A consideration rather than fresh capital, market impact should be limited. Investors may monitor share count changes but the event is operationally and financially non-material.

Note 1: Financial Information and Accounting Policies
GSS Divestiture
On November 1, 2024, we completed the sale of our Global Specialty Solutions ("GSS") business to Environmental Science US, LLC d/b/a Envu ("Envu") and received proceeds, net of the preliminary working capital adjustment, of approximately $340 million. During the second quarter of 2025, certain foreign assets, consisting primarily of working capital balances, were transferred to Envu as a result of local timing constraints at the time of the sale. The remaining foreign assets are expected to transfer during 2025. We received consideration for the foreign assets, which were not material, at closing of the sale in 2024 and no additional consideration was or will be received at the date of transfer.
Intention to Divest India Commercial Business
In July 2025, the Board of Directors approved a plan to divest from the Company’s commercial business in India. The sale process is underway and is expected to conclude within the next twelve months. Therefore, we plan to classify the assets related to this business as held for sale beginning in 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 operating results until a transaction is completed. In accordance with ASC 360-45-9, Long-Lived Assets Classified as Held for Sale, we will evaluate the assets related to the sale for impairment and, if necessary, record the related assets at the lower of its carrying value or fair value less costs to sell.
Note 2: Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements and Regulatory Items
New accounting guidance and regulatory items
On November 4, 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Expense Disaggregation Disclosures, to require disaggregation of certain expense captions into specified categories in disclosures within the notes of the financial statements. The standard is effective for FMC beginning with the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2027, and early adoption is permitted. The guidance is required to be applied prospectively and amendments in the ASU may be applied prospectively or retrospectively. We are currently evaluating the impacts this standard will have on our disclosures.
On December 14, 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Income Taxes, to improve the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. The standard requires companies to disclose a tabular effective rate reconciliation with certain reconciling items broken out by nature and/or jurisdiction as well as more robust disclosures of income taxes paid, specifically broken out between federal, state and foreign. The standard can be applied prospectively or retrospectively and early adoption is permitted. The ASU is effective for FMC beginning with the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. We are currently evaluating the impacts this standard will have on our income tax disclosures.

Note 3: Revenue Recognition
Disaggregation of revenue
We disaggregate revenue from contracts with customers by geographical areas and major product categories. We have three major agricultural product categories: insecticides, herbicides, and fungicides. Plant health, which includes biological products, is also included in the below table.
The following table provides information about disaggregated revenue by major geographical region:

We earn revenue from the sale of a wide range of products to a diversified base of customers around the world. We develop, market and sell all three major classes of crop protection chemicals (insecticides, herbicides and fungicides) as well as biologicals, crop nutrition, and seed treatment products, which we group as plant health. These products are used in agriculture to enhance crop yield and quality by controlling a broad spectrum of insects, weeds and disease. The majority of our product lines consist of insecticides and herbicides, with a smaller portfolio of fungicides mainly used in high value crop segments. We are investing in plant health which includes our growing biological products. Our insecticides are used to control a wide spectrum of pests, while our herbicide portfolio primarily targets a large variety of difficult-to-control weeds. Products in the other category include various agricultural products such as smaller classes of pesticides, growth promoters, and other miscellaneous revenue sources.
For additional detail on revenue recognition policies and procedures, see Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements included within our 2024 Form 10-K.
Contract Asset and Contract Liability Balances
We satisfy our obligations by transferring goods and services in exchange for consideration from customers. The timing of performance sometimes differs from the timing the associated consideration is received from the customer, thus resulting in the recognition of a contract asset or contract liability. We recognize a contract liability if the customer's payment of consideration is received prior to completion of our related performance obligation.

We have non-current receivables that represent long-term customer receivable balances related to past due accounts which are not expected to be collected within the current year. The net long-term customer receivables were $61.2 million as of June 30, 2025. These long-term customer receivable balances and the corresponding allowance are included in "Other assets including long-term receivables, net" on the consolidated balance sheets.
A portion of these long-term receivables have payment contracts. We have no reason to believe payments will not be made based upon the credit quality of these customers. Additionally, we also hold significant collateral against these customers including rights to property or other assets as a form of credit guarantee. If the customer does not pay or gives indication that they will not pay, these guarantees allow us to start legal action to block the sale of the customer’s harvest.

Receivables Securitization Facility:
FMC participates in certain trade receivables securitization programs, primarily impacting our Brazilian operations. On a revolving basis, FMC may sell certain trade receivables into the facilities in exchange for cash. A portion of the total receivables sold are deferred as an asset within "Other assets including long-term receivables, net" as presented on our consolidated balance sheets representing FMC’s beneficial interest in the securitization funds.
In all instances, the transferred financial assets are sold on a non-recourse basis and have met the true sale criteria under ASC Topic 860. FMC has surrendered control of the receivables and as a result they are no longer recognized on the consolidated balance sheets. FMC may be engaged to serve as a special servicer for any delinquent receivables. In that capacity, we are entitled to market rate compensation for those services.
Cash receipts from the sale of trade receivables under the securitization arrangements, received at the time of sale, are classified as cash flows from operating activities.
There were $85.1 million in receivables sold under the securitization programs during the six months ended June 30, 2025. A $5.1 million charge associated with the transfer of these financial assets is included as a component within "Selling, general and administrative expenses" during the six months ended June 30, 2025. There were $82.4 million in receivables sold under the securitization program during the six months ended June 30, 2024. A $5.7 million charge associated with the transfer of these financial assets is included as a component within "Selling, general and administrative expenses" during the six months ended June 30, 2024.
As part of funding our interest for all outstanding arrangements under the securitization programs, a portion of the receivables sold are retained by the investment fund and returned to FMC, including interest, at the maturity of the program. The fair value of the asset is approximately $38.2 million and is recorded within "Other assets including long-term receivables, net" on the consolidated balance sheets.

Other Receivable Factoring:
In addition to the above, we may sell trade receivables on a non-recourse basis to third-party financial institutions. These sales are normally driven by specific market conditions, including, but not limited to, foreign exchange environments, customer credit management, as well as other factors where the receivables originate.

Project Focus
We previously implemented a global restructuring plan, referred to as "Project Focus," designed to right-size our cost base and optimize our footprint and organizational structure in light of the precipitous drop in demand across the crop protection market in 2023. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, charges incurred related to Project Focus include $9.6 million of severance and employee separation costs, $11.5 million of professional service provider costs and other miscellaneous charges associated with the project, and accelerated depreciation of $5.6 million on assets identified for disposal in connection with the restructuring initiative. The charges incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2025 are included in the total estimated range for Project Focus. See Note 7 to our consolidated financial statements in our 2024 Form 10-K for details of the costs previously incurred for Project Focus. The remaining amounts will be reflected in our consolidated results of operations as they become probable and estimable or a triggering event is identified in accordance with the relevant accounting guidance.

Subordinated Notes
On May 27, 2025, the Company completed the sale of $750 million aggregate principal amount of 8.45 % Subordinated Notes due November 1, 2055. The Company used the net proceeds from this offering to redeem $500 million of the senior notes due May 18, 2026 and for general corporate purposes. The Company paid a make-whole premium of $3.3 million in connection with the early redemption of the senior notes, which is recorded within "Non-operating pension, postretirement and other charges (income)" on the consolidated statement of income (loss).
Covenants
Among other restrictions, the Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of June 17, 2022 (the "Revolving Credit Facility") contains financial covenants applicable to FMC and its consolidated subsidiaries related to leverage (measured as the ratio of debt to adjusted earnings) and interest coverage (measured as the ratio of adjusted earnings to interest expense). In February 2025, the Company amended its credit agreement to provide additional financial flexibility given current market challenges. As defined in the amendment, the maximum leverage ratio is increased to 5.25 through the period ending September 30, 2025 and will incrementally step down during the covenant relief period ending at 3.75 for the quarter ended December 31, 2027. The amendment also maintains the minimum interest coverage ratio at 3.00 through the quarter ended December 31, 2025. The minimum interest coverage ratio will return to 3.50 beginning with the quarter ended March 31, 2026.
Our actual leverage for the four consecutive quarters ended June 30, 2025 was 4.81 , which is below the maximum leverage of 5.25 . Our actual interest coverage for the four consecutive quarters ended June 30, 2025 was 3.90 , which is above the minimum interest coverage of 3.00 . We were in compliance with all covenants at June 30, 2025.

The estimated reasonably possible environmental loss contingencies, net of expected recoveries, exceed amounts accrued by approximately $290 million at June 30, 2025. This reasonably possible estimate is based upon information available as of the date of the filing, but the actual future losses may be higher given the uncertainties regarding the status of laws, regulations, enforcement policies, the impact of potentially responsible parties, technology and information related to individual sites. Potential environmental obligations that have not been reserved may be material to any one quarter's or year's results of operations in the future. However, we believe any such liability arising from such potential environmental obligations is not likely to have a material adverse effect on our liquidity or financial condition as it may be satisfied over many years.
The table below provides a roll forward of our environmental recoveries representing probable realization of claims against insurance carriers and other third parties. These recoveries are recorded as "Prepaid and other current assets" and "Other assets including long-term receivables, net" in the consolidated balance sheets.

Note 12: Earnings Per Share
Earnings per common share ("EPS") is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period on a basic and diluted basis.
Our potentially dilutive securities include potential common shares related to our stock options, restricted stock and restricted stock units. Diluted earnings per share ("Diluted EPS") considers the impact of potentially dilutive securities except in periods in which there is a loss from continuing operations because the inclusion of the potential common shares would have an antidilutive effect. Diluted EPS excludes the impact of potential common shares related to our stock options in periods in which the option exercise price is greater than the average market price of our common stock for the period. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, there were 3.6 million and 3.3 million potential common shares excluded from Diluted EPS, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, there were 2.1 million and 2.0 million potential common shares excluded from Diluted EPS, respectively.
Our non-vested restricted stock awards contain rights to receive non-forfeitable dividends, and thus are participating securities requiring the two-class method of computing EPS. The two-class method determines EPS by dividing the sum of distributed earnings to common stockholders and undistributed earnings allocated to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. In calculating the two-class method, undistributed earnings are allocated to both common shares and participating securities based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period.
Earnings applicable to common stock and common stock shares used in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share are as follows:

In February 2022, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $1 billion of the Company's common stock. In connection with an amendment to the Company's credit agreement in February 2025, the Company agreed that it will not repurchase shares with the exception of share repurchases under our equity compensation plans until December 31, 2027. Therefore, there were no share repurchases under the publicly announced repurchase program during the six months ended June 30, 2025. At June 30, 2025, $825 million remained unused under our Board-authorized repurchase program. This repurchase program does not include a specific timetable or price targets and may be suspended or terminated at any time. Shares may be purchased through open market or privately negotiated transactions at the discretion of management based on its evaluation of market conditions and other factors. We also reacquire shares from time to time from employees in connection with the vesting, exercise and forfeiture of awards under our equity compensation plans. Share repurchases in excess of issuances are subject to a 1 percent excise tax imposed by the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act. This tax is included as part of the cost basis of the shares acquired.

Note 16: Income Taxes
Our effective income tax rates from continuing operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 were 24.5 percent and 43.8 percent, respectively. Our effective income tax rates from continuing operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 were 5,518.2 percent and negative 12,196.0 percent respectively. The change in the effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 was primarily driven by approximately $300
We determine our interim tax provision using an Estimated Annual Effective Tax Rate methodology ("EAETR") in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The EAETR is applied to the year-to-date ordinary income, exclusive of discrete items. The tax effects of discrete items are then included to arrive at the total reported interim tax provision. The determination of the EAETR is based upon a number of estimates, including the estimated annual pretax ordinary income in each tax jurisdiction in which we operate. As our projections of ordinary income change throughout the year, the EAETR will change period-to-period. A significant amount of our earnings is generated by our foreign subsidiaries, which tax earnings at lower statutory rates than the United States federal statutory rate. Our future effective tax rates may be materially impacted by a future change in the composition of earnings from foreign and domestic tax jurisdictions. The tax effects of discrete items are recognized in the tax provision in the period they occur in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Depending on various factors, such as the item’s significance in relation to total income and the rate of tax applicable in the jurisdiction to which it relates, discrete items in any quarter can materially impact the reported effective tax rate. As a global enterprise, our tax expense can be impacted by changes in tax rates or laws, the finalization of tax audits and reviews, as well as other factors. As a result, there can be significant volatility in interim tax provisions.
On December 20, 2021, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (the "OECD") released Pillar Two Model Rules defining the global minimum tax, which calls for the taxation of large corporations at a minimum rate of 15% implemented via a top-up tax. The impacts of Pillar Two legislation were not material to the three and six months ended June 30, 2025. We will continue to evaluate the impact of the Pillar Two Framework as legislative changes are enacted and additional guidance becomes available.
In January of 2025, the OECD issued administrative guidance that will limit the economic benefit of certain non-refundable tax credits ("Swiss credits"), which were granted to our Swiss subsidiaries in 2023. We may pay more top-up tax in the future as a result of the January 2025 guidance. Because we apply an accounting policy to exclude the effects of Pillar Two top-up taxes from our analysis of the realizability of certain deferred tax assets, our valuation allowance on the deferred tax asset for the Swiss credits will not be impacted by the January 2025 guidance.
Subsequent Event
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“the Act”) was enacted into law in the United States ("U.S."). The Act includes multiple changes to U.S. tax legislation with various effective dates beginning in 2025. These changes include provisions related to the limitation of business interest expense, the international tax framework, and other elements of U.S. tax law. We are evaluating the income tax implications of the Act to our consolidated financial statements.

Note 17: Financial Instruments, Risk Management and Fair Value Measurements
Our financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, other current assets, certain receivables classified as other long-term assets, accounts payable, and amounts included in investments and accruals meeting the definition of financial instruments. The carrying value of these financial instruments approximates their fair value. Our other financial instruments include the following:
| Financial Instrument | Valuation Method | |||||||
| Foreign exchange forward contracts | Estimated amounts that would be received or paid to terminate the contracts at the reporting date based on current market prices for applicable currencies. | |||||||
| Commodity forward contracts | Estimated amounts that would be received or paid to terminate the contracts at the reporting date based on quoted market prices for applicable commodities. | |||||||
| Debt | Our estimates and information obtained from independent third parties using market data, such as bid/ask spreads for the last business day of the reporting period. | |||||||
The estimated fair value of the financial instruments in the above table have been determined using standard pricing models which take into account the present value of expected future cash flows discounted to the balance sheet date. These standard pricing models utilize inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data such as interest rate yield curves and currency and commodity spot and forward rates. In addition, we test a subset of our valuations against valuations received from the transaction's counterparty to validate the accuracy of our standard pricing models. Accordingly, the estimates presented may not be indicative of the amounts that we would realize in a market exchange at settlement date and do not represent potential gains or losses on these agreements. The estimated fair values of foreign exchange forward contracts and commodity forward contracts are included in the tables within this Note. The estimated fair value of debt is $4,117.4 million and $3,223.6 million and the carrying amount is $4,163.3 million and $3,365.3 million as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
We enter into various financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk as part of the normal course of business. These off-balance sheet instruments include financial guarantees and contractual commitments to extend financial guarantees under letters of credit, and other assistance to customers. See Note 18 for more information. Decisions to extend financial guarantees to customers and the amount of collateral required under these guarantees are based on our evaluation of creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis.
Use of Derivative Financial Instruments to Manage Risk
We mitigate certain financial exposures, including currency risk, commodity purchase exposures and interest rate risk, through a program of risk management that includes the use of derivative financial instruments. We enter into derivative contracts, including forward contracts and purchased options, to reduce the effects of fluctuating currency exchange rates, interest rates, and commodity prices. A detailed description of these risks including a discussion on the concentration of credit risk is provided in Note 18 to our consolidated financial statements on our 2024 Form 10-K.
We formally document all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as the risk management objective and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. This process includes relating derivatives that are designated as fair value or cash flow hedges to specific assets and liabilities on the balance sheet or to specific firm commitments or forecasted transactions. We also assess, both at the inception of the hedge and on an ongoing basis, whether each derivative is highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of the hedged item. If we determine that a derivative is not highly effective as a hedge, or if a derivative ceases to be a highly effective hedge, we discontinue hedge accounting with respect to that derivative prospectively.

Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
Cash Flow Hedges
We recognize all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. On the date the derivative instrument is entered into, we generally designate the derivative as a hedge of the variability of cash flows to be received or paid related to a forecasted transaction (cash flow hedge). We record in accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI") changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated as and meet all the required criteria for a cash flow hedge. We then reclassify these amounts into earnings as the underlying hedged item affects earnings. In contrast, we immediately record in earnings changes in the fair value of derivatives that are not designated as cash flow hedges.
As of June 30, 2025, we had open foreign currency forward contracts in AOCI in a net after tax loss position of $25.4 million designated as cash flow hedges of underlying forecasted sales and purchases. Current open contracts hedge forecasted transactions until December 31, 2026. At June 30, 2025, we had open forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges with various expiration dates to buy, sell or exchange foreign currencies with a U.S. dollar equivalent of approximately $799.8 million.
At June 30, 2025, we had no outstanding interest rate swap contracts.
In prior periods, we settled on various interest rate swap agreements related to several debt issuances and recorded gains (losses) in other comprehensive income, which are being amortized over the various terms of those debt instruments. As of June 30, 2025, there was a remaining net after-tax loss of $25.3 million in AOCI related to these settlements.
As of June 30, 2025, we had no open commodity contracts in AOCI designated as cash flow hedges of underlying forecasted purchases. At June 30, 2025, we had no mmBTUs (millions of British Thermal Units) in aggregate notional volume of outstanding natural gas commodity forward contracts to hedge forecasted purchases.
Approximately $25.3 million of the net losses after-tax, representing open foreign currency exchange will be realized in earnings during the twelve months ending June 30, 2026 if spot rates in the future are consistent with forward rates as of June 30, 2025. The actual effect on earnings will be dependent on the actual spot rates when the forecasted transactions occur.
Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments
We hold certain forward contracts that have not been designated as cash flow hedging instruments for accounting purposes. Contracts used to hedge the exposure to foreign currency fluctuations associated with certain monetary assets and liabilities are not designated as cash flow hedging instruments, and changes in the fair value of these items are recorded in earnings.
We had open forward contracts not designated as cash flow hedging instruments for accounting purposes with various expiration dates to buy, sell or exchange foreign currencies with a U.S. dollar equivalent of approximately $3,617.7 million at June 30, 2025.

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Market participants are defined as buyers or sellers in the principle or most advantageous market for the asset or liability that are independent of the reporting entity, knowledgeable and able and willing to transact for the asset or liability.
Fair Value Hierarchy
We have categorized our assets and liabilities that are recorded at fair value, based on the priority of the inputs to the valuation technique, into a three-level fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). If the inputs used to measure the assets and liabilities fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument.
Recurring Fair Value Measurements
The following tables present our fair value hierarchy for those assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis in the consolidated balance sheets. During the periods presented there were no transfers between fair value hierarchy levels.

(3)FMC maintains a beneficial interest in a trade receivables securitization fund. The fair value of the beneficial interest is determined by calculating the expected amount of cash to be received on the fund’s outstanding credit notes. As part of this evaluation, we rely on unobservable inputs, including estimating the anticipated credit losses. We consider historical information, current conditions and other reasonable factors as part of this assessment. The amount is included in "Other assets including long-term receivables, net" in the consolidated balance sheets.
(4)Includes money market funds, which consist of highly liquid investments valued at quoted market prices, recognized as "Cash and cash equivalents" on our consolidated balance sheets.
Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements
There were no nonrecurring fair value measurements in the consolidated balance sheets during the periods presented.
Note 18: Guarantees, Commitments, and Contingencies
We continue to monitor the conditions that are subject to guarantees and indemnifications to identify whether a liability must be recognized in our financial statements.
Guarantees and Other Commitments
The following table provides the estimated undiscounted amount of potential future payments for each major group of guarantees at June 30, 2025. These guarantees arise during the ordinary course of business from relationships with customers and non-consolidated affiliates. Non-performance by the guaranteed party triggers the obligation requiring us to make payments to the beneficiary of the guarantee. Based on our experience, these types of guarantees have not had a material effect on our consolidated financial position or on our liquidity. Our expectation is that future payment or performance related to the non-performance of others is considered unlikely.

(1)Represents guarantees to financial institutions on behalf of certain customers for their seasonal borrowing. This short-term amount is recorded within "Guarantees of vendor financing" on the consolidated balance sheets.
(2)These guarantees represent the outstanding commitment provided to third-party banks for credit extended to various direct and indirect customers. The liability for the guarantees is recorded at an amount that approximates fair value (i.e. representing the stand-ready obligation) based on our historical collection experience and a current assessment of credit exposure. Historically, the fair value of these guarantees has been and continues to be in the current reporting period, immaterial and the majority of these guarantees have had an expiration date of less than one year .
Excluded from the chart above are parent-company guarantees we provide to lending institutions that extend credit to our foreign subsidiaries. Since these guarantees are provided for consolidated subsidiaries, the consolidated financial position is not affected by the issuance of these guarantees. Also excluded from the chart, in connection with our property and asset sales and divestitures, we have agreed to indemnify the buyer for certain liabilities, including environmental contamination and taxes that occurred prior to the date of sale or provided guarantees to third parties relating to certain contracts assumed by the buyer. Our indemnification or guarantee obligations with respect to certain liabilities may be indefinite as to duration and may or may not be subject to a deductible, minimum claim amount or cap. As such, it is not possible for us to predict the likelihood that a claim will be made or to make a reasonable estimate of the maximum potential loss or range of loss. Therefore, we have not recorded any specific liabilities for these guarantees. If triggered, we may be able to recover some of the indemnity payments from third parties. For certain obligations related to our divestitures for which we can make a reasonable estimate of the maximum potential loss or range of loss and is probable, a liability in those instances has been recorded.

Supplier Financing Obligations
We work with suppliers to optimize payment terms and conditions on accounts payable to improve working capital and cash flows. We offer to a select group of suppliers a voluntary Supply Chain Finance (“SCF”) program with a global financial institution. The suppliers, at their sole discretion, may sell their receivables to the financial institution based on terms negotiated between them. Our obligations to our suppliers are not impacted by our suppliers’ decisions to sell under these arrangements. Obligations outstanding under this program are recorded within "Accounts payable, trade and other" in our consolidated balance sheets and the associated payments are included in operating activities within our consolidated statements of cash flows.
Our payment terms with our suppliers are consistent, regardless of whether a supplier participates in the program. We deem these terms to be commercially reasonable and consistent with the range of industry standards within their respective regions. Under the terms of the agreement, we do not pledge assets as security or make any other forms of guarantees.
FMC's outstanding obligations confirmed as valid under the SCF were $200.5 million and $227.4 million as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
Contingencies
A detailed discussion related to our outstanding contingencies can be found in Note 19 to our consolidated financial statements included within our 2024 Form 10-K. There have been no significant updates since the information included in our 2024 Form 10-K.
Derivative Litigation On January 23, 2025, and June 2, 2025, purported FMC shareholders filed derivative actions on behalf of FMC in the E.D.P.A., both alleging, among other things, that certain current and former FMC officers and directors breached their fiduciary duties to FMC, and engaged in other purported misconduct, based on the same purported misstatements and omissions alleged in the Consolidated Securities Class Action disclosed in Note 19 to the consolidated financial statements of our 2024 Form 10-K (the "Consolidated Securities Class Action"). These cases have been consolidated with the caption In re FMC Corporation Derivative Litigation, 2:25-cv-00404-KNS (E.D.P.A.), and have been stayed pending the result of the defendants’ pending motion to dismiss in the Consolidated Securities Class Action.
On May 29, 2025, and June 16, 2025, purported FMC shareholders filed derivative actions on behalf of FMC in the E.D.P.A., both alleging, among other things, that certain current and former FMC officers and directors breached their fiduciary duties to FMC, and engaged in other purported misconduct, based on the same purported misstatements and omissions alleged in the Mohammed and Macomb County Actions disclosed in Note 19 to the consolidated financial statements of our 2024 Form 10-K (the "Mohammed and Macomb County Actions"). These cases have been consolidated with the caption In re FMC Corporation Stockholder Derivative Litigation, 2:25-cv-03077-GAW (E.D.P.A.), and it is expected that the consolidated case will be stayed pending the result of defendants’ anticipated motion to dismiss in the Mohammed and Macomb County Actions.

APPLICATION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of our financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. We have described our accounting policies in Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements included in our 2024 Form 10-K. We have reviewed these accounting policies, identifying those that we believe to be critical to the preparation and understanding of our consolidated financial statements. We have reviewed these critical accounting policies with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors. Critical accounting policies are central to our presentation of results of operations and financial condition and require management to make estimates and judgments on certain matters. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience, current conditions and other reasonable factors.
The following is a list of those accounting policies that we have deemed most critical to the presentation and understanding of our results of operations and financial condition. See the "Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates" section in our 2024 Form 10-K for a detailed description of these policies and their potential effects on our results of operations and financial condition.
•Revenue recognition and trade receivables
•Environmental obligations and related recoveries
•Impairment and valuation of long-lived assets and indefinite-lived assets
•Pensions and other postretirement benefits
•Income taxes

OVERVIEW
FMC Corporation is a global agricultural sciences company dedicated to providing farmers innovative solutions that increase the productivity and resilience of their land. We operate in a single distinct business segment. We develop, market and sell all three major classes of crop protection chemicals (insecticides, herbicides and fungicides) as well as biologicals, crop nutrition, and seed treatment products, which we group as plant health. FMC’s innovative crop protection solutions help growers produce food, feed, fiber and fuel for an expanding world population while adapting to a changing environment. FMC is committed to discovering new insecticide, herbicide, and fungicide active ingredients, product formulations and pioneering technologies that are consistently better for the planet.
Second Quarter 2025 Highlights
The following items are the more significant developments or financial highlights in our business during the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024:
•Revenue of $1,050.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 increased $12.1 million, or approximately 1 percent, versus the prior year period primarily driven by volume growth as we believe customers in most countries have reached target channel inventory levels for FMC products. Volume growth was partially offset by a decline in pricing, over half of which was attributed to price adjustments on certain "cost-plus" contracts with specific diamide partners as a result of lower manufacturing costs. On a regional basis, sales in Europe, Middle East and Africa increased approximately 29 percent, sales in Latin America increased approximately 1 percent, sales in North America decreased by approximately 5 percent, and sales in Asia decreased approximately 17 percent. A more detailed review of revenue is discussed under the section titled "Results of Operations".
•Our gross margin of $406.3 million increased versus the prior year quarter by $8.2 million primarily as a result of cost improvement partially offset by lower pricing during the period. Gross margin as a percent of revenue of approximately 39 percent increased compared to approximately 38 percent in the prior year period.
•Selling, general and administrative expenses increased from $164.8 million to $176.8 million, or approximately 7 percent versus the prior year period to support investment in new products as well as additional sales force in Brazil. Research and development expenses of $66.4 million decreased $9.5 million or 13 percent, compared to the previous year. The decrease in spending on research and development relates to the timing of project expenses as well as continued cost reduction efforts in connection with restructuring activities.
•Net income attributable to FMC stockholders of $66.7 million decreased $228.4 million from net income of $295.1 million in the prior year period. In the second quarter of 2024, we recorded a net tax benefit of approximately $300 million as a result of changes to our corporate entity structure in connection with our plans to establish a global technology and innovation center in Switzerland. In comparison, we recorded a $14.4 million provision for income taxes during the second quarter of 2025. The change in the provision for income taxes as well as increased selling, general and administrative spending contributed to the decrease in net income during the period. Favorability in cost of goods sold as well as lower research and development costs and restructuring costs partially offset the decrease in net income during the second quarter. Adjusted after-tax earnings from continuing operations attributable to FMC stockholders of $86.7 million increased compared to the prior year amount of $79.1 million or approximately 10 percent. See the disclosure of our Adjusted Earnings Non-GAAP financial measurement below, under the section titled "Results of Operations".
Other Highlights
•In July 2025, the Board of Directors approved a plan to divest from the Company’s commercial business in India in response to ongoing commercial challenges in the country. FMC plans to continue to actively participate in the India market through a supply agreement with the eventual buyer of the business for its patented and data-protected portfolio, ranging from new diamide technologies to active ingredients and biologicals. The Company will continue its active ingredients manufacturing operations in India. The sale process is underway and is expected to conclude within the next twelve months. Therefore, we plan to classify the assets related to this business as held for sale beginning in 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 results until a transaction is completed.
35
2025 Outlook Update
The India commercial business will be classified as held for sale beginning in the third quarter. While revenue generated by the India commercial business will be included in reported revenue, revenue guidance for the company will exclude India. We expect 2025 revenue excluding India(1) to be in the range of approximately $4.08 billion to $4.28 billion, down 2 percent at the midpoint versus 2024. Volume is expected to improve due to increases in growth platforms. Price is expected to decline in the mid-single digits largely driven by certain contract adjustments to diamide partners to account for lower manufacturing costs. Foreign currency impacts are expected to be a flat to low-single digit headwind. Expected earnings of the India business are excluded for adjusted EBITDA(1) and adjusted EPS(1) guidance. We expect adjusted EBITDA(1) of $870 million to $950 million, an increase of 1 percent at the midpoint versus 2024 results. Favorable costs and a modest volume gain are expected to be mostly offset by lower price and foreign currency headwinds. 2025 adjusted earnings are expected to be in the range of $3.26 to $3.70 per diluted share(1), essentially flat at the midpoint versus 2024. The estimate for adjusted earnings excludes any impact from potential share repurchases. For cash flow outlook, refer to the liquidity and capital resources section below.
(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 U.S. GAAP. Certain elements of the composition of the U.S. 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. As a result, no U.S. 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. For all outlooks provided, variances are calculated versus 2024 results which include India.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview
The following charts provide a reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA, adjusted Earnings, organic revenue growth and return on invested capital ("ROIC"), all of which are Non-GAAP financial measures, from the most directly comparable GAAP measure. Adjusted EBITDA and organic revenue growth are provided to assist the readers of our financial statements with useful information regarding our operating results. Our operating results are presented based on how we assess operating performance and internally report financial information. For management purposes, we report operating performance based on earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, discontinued operations, and corporate special charges. Our adjusted earnings measure excludes corporate special charges, net of income taxes, discontinued operations attributable to FMC stockholders, net of income taxes, and certain Non-GAAP tax adjustments. These are excluded by us in the measure we use to evaluate business performance and determine certain performance-based compensation. Organic revenue growth excludes the impacts of foreign currency changes, which we believe is a meaningful metric to evaluate our revenue changes. These items are discussed in detail within the "Other Results of Operations" section that follows. In addition to providing useful information about our operating results to investors, we also believe that excluding the effect of corporate special charges, net of income taxes, and certain Non-GAAP tax adjustments from operating results and discontinued operations allows management and investors to compare more easily the financial performance of our underlying business from period to period. These measures should not be considered as substitutes for net income (loss) or other measures of performance or liquidity reported in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

(2)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 (income) occurred and includes both current and deferred income tax expense (benefit) based on the nature of the Non-GAAP performance measure.
(3)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. See Provision for income taxes within this section of this Form 10-Q for a reconciliation of the Non-GAAP tax provision from the GAAP tax provision.

Revenue
Three Months Ended June 30, 2025 vs. 2024
Revenue of $1,050.5 million increased $12.1 million, or approximately 1 percent, versus the prior year period primarily due an increase in volumes of 6 percent as a result of customers in most countries appear to have reached target channel inventory levels for FMC products. The volume improvement was partially offset by a price decline of 3 percent, over half of which was attributed to price adjustments on certain "cost-plus" contracts with specific diamide partners as a result of lower manufacturing costs. Foreign currency was a headwind of approximately 1 percent during the period.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 vs. 2024
Revenue of $1,841.9 million decreased $114.5 million, or approximately 6 percent, versus the prior year period primarily as a result a 6 percent decline in pricing due to adjustments on certain "cost-plus" contracts with specific diamide partners. Higher volumes resulted in an increase of 2 percent versus the prior year period as customers in most countries have appeared to recover to target channel inventory levels. Foreign currency headwinds of approximately 2 percent offset the improvement in volumes during the period.

Interest expense, net
Three Months Ended June 30, 2025 vs. 2024
Interest expense, net of $61.0 million decreased by $2.6 million or 4 percent compared to the prior year period of $63.6 million primarily driven by lower domestic short-term balances and rates, which resulted in a decrease of approximately $6.0 million. The decrease was partially offset by an increase of $3.1 million driven by higher domestic long-term balances and rates as a result of our Subordinated Notes offering completed in May 2025 as well as an increase of $0.3 million driven by higher interest rates and debt balances in our foreign portfolio.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 vs. 2024
Interest expense, net of 111.1 million decreased by $14.2 million or 11 percent compared to the prior year period of 125.3 million.

In comparison, we recorded a $14.4 million provision for income taxes during the second quarter of 2025. The change in the provision for income taxes as well as increased selling, general and administrative spending contributed to the decrease in net income during the period. Favorability in cost of goods sold as well as lower research and development costs and restructuring costs partially offset the decrease in net income during the second quarter.
45
Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 vs. 2024
The net income recognized during the period was $52.2 million as compared to net income of $292.1 million in the prior year period. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, we recorded a net tax benefit of approximately $300 million as a result of changes to our corporate entity structure in connection with our plans to establish a global technology and innovation center in Switzerland. In comparison, we recorded a $27.9 million provision for income taxes during the six months ended June 30, 2025. The change in the provision for income taxes as well as increased selling, general and administrative spending contributed to the decrease in net income during the period. Favorability in cost of goods sold partially offset the decrease in net income during the six months ended June 30, 2025. Additionally, interest expense and restructuring costs were lower by $14.2 million and $81.5 million, respectively, compared to the prior year period.
The only difference between Net income (loss) and Net income (loss) attributable to FMC stockholders is noncontrolling interest, which period over period is immaterial.
Adjusted EBITDA (Non-GAAP)
The Adjusted EBITDA amounts discussed below for three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 are reconciled from Net Income (loss) within this Form 10-Q. Refer to our Overview under the section titled "Results of Operations" above.
Three Months Ended June 30, 2025 vs. 2024
Adjusted EBITDA of $206.5 million increased $4.8 million, or approximately 2 percent versus the prior year period. The increase was due to favorable costs of approximately 34 percent partially offset by a decrease in price impacting adjusted EBITDA by 18 percent. Adjusted EBITDA was also impacted by a 3 percent decrease due to unfavorable product mix within our core portfolio. Foreign exchange headwinds of resulted in a decrease of 11 percent.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 vs 2024
Adjusted EBITDA of $326.2 million decreased $36.1 million, or approximately 10 percent versus the prior year period. The decrease was due to unfavorable pricing impacting adjusted EBITDA by 32 percent as well as a 3 percent decrease due to unfavorable product mix within our core portfolio. Costs were a tailwind of 36 percent as favorability in cost of goods sold more than offset increased investment in selling, general and administrative costs and research and development costs. Foreign exchange headwinds resulted in a decrease to adjusted EBITDA of 11 percent.
For 2025, full year Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be in the range of $870 million to $950 million, an increase of 1 percent at the midpoint versus 2024 results. Although we provide a forecast for Adjusted EBITDA, a Non-GAAP financial measure, we are not able to forecast the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. See note 1 to our 2025 Outlook Update within this section of the Form 10-Q.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As a global agricultural sciences company, we require cash primarily for seasonal working capital needs, capital expenditures, and return of capital to shareholders. We plan to meet these liquidity needs through available cash, cash generated from operations, commercial paper issuances and borrowings under our committed revolving credit facility as well as other liquidity facilities, and in certain instances access to debt capital markets. We believe our strong financial standing and credit ratings will ensure adequate access to the debt capital markets on favorable conditions.
Cash
Cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, were $438.2 million and $357.3 million, respectively. Of the cash and cash equivalents balance at June 30, 2025, $401.2 million was held by our foreign subsidiaries. We have established plans to repatriate cash from certain foreign subsidiaries with minimal tax on a go forward basis. Other cash held by foreign subsidiaries is generally used to finance subsidiaries’ operating activities and future foreign investments. See Note 11 to the consolidated financial statements included within our 2024 Form 10-K for more information on our indefinite reinvestment assertion.
Outstanding debt
At June 30, 2025, we had total debt of $4,163.3 million as compared to $3,365.3 million at December 31, 2024. Total debt included $3,270.0 million and $3,027.9 million of long-term debt (excluding current portions of $86.0 million and $76.1 million) at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Our short-term debt consists of foreign borrowings and borrowings under our commercial paper program. Foreign borrowings increased from $135.7 million at December 31, 2024 to $201.0 million at June 30, 2025 while outstanding commercial paper increased from $125.6 million at December 31, 2024 to $606.3 million at June 30, 2025. We provide parent-company guarantees to lending institutions providing credit to our foreign subsidiaries. See Note 9 and Note 18 in the consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q for further details.
On May 27, 2025, the Company completed the sale of $750.0 million aggregate principal amount of 8.45% Subordinated Notes due November 1, 2055. The Company used the net proceeds from this offering to redeem $500.0 million of the senior notes due May 18, 2026 and for general corporate purposes. The Company paid a make-whole premium of $3.3 million in connection with the early redemption of the senior notes, which is recorded within "Non-operating pension, postretirement and other charges (income)" on the consolidated statement of income (loss). Fees incurred to secure the Subordinated Notes have been deferred and will be amortized over the terms of the arrangement.
As of June 30, 2025, we were in compliance with all of our debt covenants. We remain committed to solid investment grade credit metrics.
Access to credit and future liquidity and funding needs
At June 30, 2025, our remaining borrowing capacity under our credit facility was $1,183.6 million. Our commercial paper program allows us to borrow at rates generally more favorable than those available under our credit facility. At June 30, 2025, we had $606.3 million commercial paper borrowings under the commercial paper program. At June 30, 2025, the average effective interest rate on the borrowings was 5.2 percent. Our commercial paper balances fluctuate from year to year depending on working capital needs. Based on cash generated from operations, our existing liquidity facilities, which includes the revolving credit agreement with the option to increase capacity up to $2.75 billion, and our continued access to debt capital markets, we have adequate liquidity to meet any of the company's debt obligations in the near term including any current portion of long-term debt.
Working Capital Initiatives
We offer to a select group of suppliers a voluntary supply chain finance program as part of our continued efforts to improve our working capital efficiency. We do not believe that changes in the availability of the supply chain finance program would have a significant impact on our liquidity. See Note 18 for more information on the key terms and balances of the program.
From time to time, the Company may sell receivables on a non-recourse basis to third-party financial institutions. These sales are normally driven by specific market conditions, including, but not limited to, foreign exchange environments, customer credit management, as well as other factors where the receivables may lay. See Note 5 for more information on receivables factoring.

____________________
(1)Both periods include the impacts of seasonality and the receivable build intrinsic in our business. The change in cash flows related to trade receivables in 2025 was driven by timing of collections. Collection timing is more pronounced in certain countries such as Brazil where there may be terms significantly longer than the rest of our business. Additionally, timing of collection is impacted as amounts for both periods include carry-over balances remaining to be collected in Latin America, where collection periods are measured in months rather than weeks. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, we collected approximately $402.3 million of receivables in Brazil.
(2)Advance payments are primarily within North America and these payments are received in the fourth quarter of each year and recorded as deferred revenue on the balance sheet at December 31. Revenue associated with advance payments is recognized, generally in the first half of each year, as shipments are made and transfer of control to the customer takes place.
(3)These rebates are primarily associated within North America, and to a lesser extent Brazil, and in North America generally settle in the fourth quarter of each year given the end of the respective crop cycle.
(4)Changes in inventory reflect the higher inventory build required during 2025 to meet current year demand compared to the 2024 period which continued to be impacted by a lower sales outlook as a result of the channel destocking.
(5)The 2025 change in cash flows was driven by the timing of payments made to suppliers and vendors. As of June 30, 2025, approximately 98% of our accounts payable balance was considered current, which we define as outstanding less than 30 days past the invoice due date. In accordance with our standard terms, invoices are held for payment when there is an open dispute with the vendor. The remaining balance of accounts payable primarily consists of invoices that meet this criterion.
(6)Changes in all periods presented primarily represent timing of payments associated with all other operating assets and liabilities.
(7)For additional detail on restructuring and other charges activities, see Note 8.
(8)The amounts represent environmental remediation spending at our operating sites which were recorded against pre-existing reserves, net of recoveries. Refer to Note 11 for more details.
(9)There were no voluntary contributions to our U.S. qualified defined benefit plan, which is slightly over funded, for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.
(10)Cash paid for interest, net was lower during 2025 primarily due to lower commercial paper balances outstanding during the comparative periods as well as lower interest rates.
(11)Amounts shown in the chart represent net payments of our continued operations.
48
Cash provided (required) by operating activities of discontinued operations was $(29.7) million and $(18.9) million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Cash required by operating activities of discontinued operations is directly related to environmental, other postretirement benefit liabilities, self-insurance, long-term obligations related to legal proceedings and historical restructuring activities. Discontinued operations for the six months ended June 30, 2024 includes cash proceeds, net of fees of $18.0 million received as the result of an insurance settlement for retained legal reserves.
Cash provided (required) by investing activities of continuing operations was $(51.4) million and $(39.6) million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Cash required by investing activities of continuing operations increased during the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to timing of payments related to capital expenditures.
Cash provided (required) by financing activities of continuing operations was $628.7 million and $84.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Cash provided by financing activities of continuing operations increased during the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to the proceeds of $750 million from the Subordinated Notes as well as higher commercial paper balances. The increase was partially offset by the redemption of $500 million of senior notes and financing fees associated with the issuance of the Subordinated Notes. There were no share repurchases during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 under the publicly announced program.
49
Free Cash Flow (Non-GAAP)
We define free cash flow, a Non-GAAP financial measure, as all cash inflows and outflows excluding those related to financing activities (such as debt repayments, dividends, and share repurchases) and acquisition related investing activities. Additionally, in 2024, free cash flow excludes the proceeds, net of transaction costs, from the sale of our Global Specialty Solutions ("GSS") business. Therefore, our calculation of free cash flow will almost always result in a lower amount than cash from operating activities from continuing operations, the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure. However, the free cash flow measure is consistent with management's assessment of operating cash flow performance and we believe it provides a useful basis for investors and securities analysts about the cash generated by routine business operations, including capital expenditures, in addition to assessing our ability to repay debt, fund acquisitions including cost and equity method investments, 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. First, free cash flow is not a substitute for cash provided (required) by operating activities of continuing operations, as it is not a measure of cash available for discretionary expenditures since we have non-discretionary obligations, primarily debt service, that are not deducted from the measure. Second, other companies may calculate free cash flow or similarly titled Non-GAAP financial measures differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of free cash flow as a tool for comparison. Additionally, the utility of free cash flow is further limited as it does not reflect our future contractual commitments and does not represent the total increase or decrease in our cash balance for a given period. Because of these and other limitations, free cash flow should be considered along with cash provided (required) by operating activities of continuing operations and other comparable financial measures prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
The table below presents a reconciliation of free cash flow from the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure:

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.

2025 Cash Flow Outlook
Our cash needs for 2025 include operating cash requirements (particularly working capital, as well as environmental, asset retirement obligation, and restructuring spending), capital expenditures, as well as mandatory payments of debt and dividend payments. We plan to meet our liquidity needs through available cash, cash generated from operations, commercial paper issuances and borrowings under our committed revolving credit facility. At June 30, 2025, our remaining borrowing capacity under our credit facility was $1,183.6 million.
We expect 2025 free cash flow (Non-GAAP) to fall within a range of approximately $200 million and $400 million. The expected decrease in this measure at the midpoint is primarily the result of our expectation of a normalization of working capital after the pronounced correction in 2024. Refer to the note to our "2025 Outlook Update" for further discussion regarding our ability to forecast the most directly comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
Key cash requirements included in cash provided (required) by operating activities of continuing operations
Pension
We do not expect to make any voluntary cash contributions to our U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plan in 2025. The plan is slightly over funded and our portfolio is comprised of 100 percent fixed income securities and cash. Our investment strategy is a liability hedging approach with an objective of maintaining the funded status of the plan such that the funded status volatility is minimized and the likelihood that we will be required to make significant contributions to the plan is limited.
Environmental
Projected 2025 spending, net of recoveries includes approximately $35 million to $45 million of net environmental remediation spending for our sites accounted for within continuing operations. Environmental obligations for continuing operations primarily represent obligations at shut down or abandoned facilities within businesses that do not meet the criteria for presentation as discontinued operations.
Projected 2025 spending, net of recoveries includes approximately $40 million to $50 million of net environmental remediation spending for our discontinued sites. These projections include spending as a result of a settlement reached in 2019 at our Middleport, New York site of $10 million maximum per year, on average, until the remediation is complete.
Total projected 2025 environmental spending, inclusive of sites accounted for within both continuing operations and discontinued sites, is expected to be in the range of approximately $75 million to $95 million.
Restructuring and asset retirement obligations
We expect to make payments of approximately $70 million to $90 million in 2025, which primarily relates to Project Focus activities. As previously noted in the section titled "Results of Operations," we expect to incur approximately $375 million to $425 million of pre-tax restructuring charges in total over the life of the program, which includes $90 to $100 million of non-cash asset write-off charges. We expect cash payments of approximately $150 million to be paid in association with contract abandonment activities executed under the program. The first of these annual payments was paid during the first quarter of 2025, which is included in the restructuring range disclosed above, and the remaining payments will be made over the next several years. The estimate also includes, but is not limited to, costs needed to transition various activities to Switzerland in order to realize the benefits associated with tax incentives awarded to the Company, employee severance and related benefit costs, and consulting and other professional service fees. We have implemented substantially all the activities associated with the plan and expect the plan to be complete by the end of 2025. However, we may incur additional asset write-off charges and other exit and disposal costs should additional activities be implemented under the restructuring program. The Company achieved $165 million in cost benefits in 2024 and the targeted annual run-rate savings is more than $225 million by the end of 2025 from the program once fully implemented, which is expected by the end of 2025.
Capital additions and other investing activities
Projected 2025 capital expenditures are expected to be in the range of approximately $105 million to $115 million. The spending is mainly driven by investments for our new products.
51
Share repurchases
Except for purchases associated with our equity compensation plans, we do not anticipate any share repurchases during 2025 in compliance with the amendments to the Company's credit agreement. See Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds for additional information regarding the Company's publicly announced repurchased program authorized in February 2022.
Dividends
During each of the six months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024, we paid dividends of $145.5 million and $145.2 million, respectively. On July 17, 2025, we paid dividends totaling $72.8 million to our shareholders of record as of June 30, 2025. We expect to continue to make quarterly dividend payments. Future cash dividends, as always, will depend on a variety of factors, including earnings, capital requirements, financial condition, general economic conditions and other factors considered relevant by us and is subject to final determination by our Board of Directors.
Commitments and Contingencies
See Note 18 to the consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q.

DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND MARKET RISKS
Our earnings, cash flows, and financial position are exposed to market risks relating to fluctuations in commodity prices, interest rates, and foreign currency exchange rates. Our policy is to minimize exposure to our cash flow over time caused by changes in commodity, interest, and currency exchange rates. To accomplish this, we have implemented a controlled program of risk management consisting of appropriate derivative contracts entered into with major financial institutions.
The analysis below presents the sensitivity of the market value of our financial instruments to selected changes in market rates and prices. The range of changes chosen reflects our view of changes that are reasonably possible over a one-year period. Market-value estimates are based on the present value of projected future cash flows considering the market rates and prices chosen.
At June 30, 2025, our financial instrument position was a net liability of $49.3 million compared to a net asset of $34.1 million at December 31, 2024. The change in the net financial instrument position was primarily due to fluctuations in our foreign exchange portfolios.
Since our risk management programs are generally highly effective, the potential loss in value for each risk management portfolio described below would be largely offset by changes in the value of the underlying exposure.
Commodity Price Risk
Energy costs are diversified among electricity and natural gas. We may attempt to mitigate our exposure to increasing energy costs by hedging the cost of future deliveries of natural gas and electricity by entering into physical and financial derivative contracts. To analyze the effect of changing energy prices, we perform a sensitivity analysis in which we assume an instantaneous 10 percent change in energy market prices from their levels at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, with all other variables (including interest rates) held constant. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had no open commodity contracts, and, as a result, there was no sensitivity analysis performed over commodity price risk for the periods presented.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
The primary currencies for which we have exchange rate exposure are the U.S. dollar versus the Euro, the Chinese yuan, the Brazilian real, Mexican peso, and the Argentine peso. Foreign currency debt and foreign exchange forward contracts are used in countries where we do business, thereby reducing our net asset exposure. Foreign exchange forward contracts are also used to hedge firm and highly anticipated foreign currency cash flows.
To analyze the effects of changing foreign currency rates, we have performed a sensitivity analysis in which we assume an instantaneous 10 percent change in the foreign currency exchange rates from their levels at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, with all other variables (including interest rates) held constant.

| Net asset (liability) position at December 31, 2024 | 34.1 | 50.8 | (8.2) | ||||||||||||||
Interest Rate Risk
One of the strategies that we can use to manage interest rate exposure is to enter into interest rate swap agreements. In these agreements, we agree to exchange, at specified intervals, the difference between fixed and variable interest amounts calculated on an agreed-upon notional principal amount. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had no outstanding interest rate swap contracts, and, as a result, there was no sensitivity analysis performed over interest rate risk for the periods presented.
Our debt portfolio, at June 30, 2025, is composed of 81 percent fixed-rate debt and 19 percent variable-rate debt. The variable-rate component of our debt portfolio principally consists of borrowings under our Credit Facility, commercial paper program, and amounts outstanding under foreign subsidiary credit lines. Changes in interest rates affect different portions of our variable-rate debt portfolio in different ways.
Based on the variable-rate debt in our debt portfolio at June 30, 2025, a one percentage point increase in interest rates then in effect would have increased gross interest expense by $4.0 million and a one percentage point decrease in interest rates then in effect would have decreased gross interest expense by $4.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025.
