FMC Revenue
Sales excluding India reached $762 million, coming in above the midpoint of guidance but still 4 percent lower than the previous year. The removal of India contributed a 5 percent headwind.
Price declined 6 percent due to lower pricing to diamide partners, pricing adjustments on branded Rynaxypyr® products, and competitive pressure in legacy core products, particularly in Latin America.
Foreign exchange provided a 5 percent tailwind, while volume increased 2 percent driven by strong growth in EMEA and North America. Sales of new active ingredients doubled year-on-year, and Plant Health grew by 6 percent.
FMC Regional Revenue ($M)
Growth in EMEA and North America offset declines in Latin America and Asia.
GAAP net loss increased primarily due to tax charges related to higher valuation allowances. Additional pressures included lower sales, higher restructuring costs, and increased interest expense.
Adjusted EBITDA declined 40 percent to $72 million, driven by lower pricing and unfavorable costs, including tariffs and higher raw material expenses.
Cash from operations was negative $601 million, down $56 million versus the prior year, largely due to lower EBITDA. Free cash flow stood at negative $628 million, a decline of $32 million, partially offset by reduced capital expenditures.
FMC continues to execute its 2026 operational priorities, including:
- Targeted debt reduction of approximately $1 billion
- Enhancing competitiveness of its core portfolio
- Managing the post-patent transition of Rynaxypyr® active
- Driving growth in new active ingredients such as Isoflex®, fluindapyr, and Dodhylex®
The company is also progressing with its evaluation of strategic alternatives announced in February 2026, with multiple options under consideration.
The company reaffirmed its full-year guidance:
- Revenue (excluding India): $3.60 billion to $3.80 billion (down 5 percent at midpoint)
- Adjusted EBITDA: $670 million to $730 million (down 17 percent)
- Adjusted EPS: $1.63 to $1.89 (down 41 percent)
- Free cash flow: negative $65 million to $65 million
Price is expected to decline in the mid-single digits, primarily due to the post-patent strategy for Rynaxypyr®. Volume is expected to grow modestly, supported by branded products and new active ingredients.
Second quarter revenue is projected at $850 million to $900 million, representing a 17 percent decline at midpoint versus Q2 2025. Adjusted EBITDA is expected between $130 million and $150 million, while Adjusted EPS is forecast at $0.16 to $0.26.
For the second half of 2026, revenue is expected to grow by 1 percent compared to the prior year, supported by volume growth from new active ingredients. However, pricing pressure and minor FX headwinds are expected to persist.
Adjusted EBITDA is projected to decline 6 percent in the second half, while Adjusted EPS is expected to decrease 15 percent.
