(1)	Income taxes are not provided on the equity in undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries or affiliates since it is our intention that such earnings will remain invested in those affiliates indefinitely, however, see Note 15 regarding the impact from the expected sale of our discontinued FMC Health and Nutrition segment on certain of these foreign subsidiaries.

(2)

At December 31 of each year, we remeasure our pension and postretirement plan obligations at which time we record any actuarial gains (losses) and prior service (costs) credits to other comprehensive income. The interim adjustments noted above typically reflect the foreign currency translation impacts from the unrealized actuarial gains (losses) and prior service (costs) credits related to our foreign pension and postretirement plans. During the six months ended June 30, 2017 due to the announced plans to divest of FMC Health and Nutrition business, we triggered a curtailment of our U.S. pension plans. As a result, we revalued our pension plans which resulted in adjustments to comprehensive income. See Note 14 for more information.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

Note 1: Financial Information and Accounting Policies

In our opinion the condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) applicable to interim period financial statements and reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, and our financial positions as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. All such adjustments included herein are of a normal, recurring nature unless otherwise disclosed in the Notes. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the full year. The condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, and the related condensed consolidated statements of income (loss) and condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 and condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, have been reviewed by our independent registered public accountants. The review is described more fully in their report included herein. Our accounting policies are set forth in detail in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements included with our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the year ended December 31, 2016 (the “2016 10-K”).

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year's presentation.

FMC Health and Nutrition:

In March 2017, as a result of the expected transaction with E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company (“DuPont") and further discussed in Note 3, our FMC Health and Nutrition segment was classified as a discontinued operation. For more information on our discontinued operations see Note 10. We have recast all the data within this filing to present FMC Health and Nutrition as a discontinued operation retrospectively for all periods presented.

Note 2: Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements and Regulatory Items

New accounting guidance and regulatory items

In May 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2017-09, Stock Compensation - Scope of Modification Accounting. This ASU provides guidance on which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting in Topic 718. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 (i.e. a January 1, 2018 effective date). We believe the adoption will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-07, Compensation - Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost. This ASU provides requirements for presentation and disclosure of service and other components of net benefit cost on the financial statements. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 (i.e. a January 1, 2018 effective date). We believe the adoption will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements other than potential disclosure requirements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. This ASU changes the subsequent measurement of goodwill impairment by eliminating Step 2 from the impairment test. Under the new guidance, an entity will measure impairment using the difference between the carrying amount and the fair value of the reporting unit. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 (i.e. a January 1, 2020 effective date), with early adoption permitted for goodwill impairment tests with measurement dates after January 1, 2017. We believe the adoption will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations. This new ASU clarified the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 (i.e. a January 1, 2018 effective date) and will be applied prospectively. At this time we do not intend on early adopting this ASU and will continue to assess the effects the amendments will have on future transactions of acquisitions or disposals.

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-16, Income Taxes (Topic 740), Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory. Under the new guidance, an entity will recognize the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) — (Continued)

(i.e. a January 1, 2018 effective date), with early adoption permitted only in the first quarter of a fiscal year. Based on an initial assessment, we believe the adoption will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statements of Cash Flows (Topic 230), Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. This ASU addresses eight specific cash flow issues with the goal of reducing the existing diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are both presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years (i.e. a January 1, 2018 effective date), with early adoption permitted. We have reviewed the eight cash flow issues and do not believe there will be any significant changes to FMC and our presentation of certain cash receipts and payments within our consolidated cash flow statement.

In June 2016, the FASB issued No. ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” ("ASU 2016-13"). ASU 2016-13 replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses. The update is intended to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit held by a reporting entity at each reporting date. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 (i.e. a January 1, 2020 effective date), with early adoption permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. We are evaluating the effect the guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued its new lease accounting guidance in ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). Under the new guidance, lessees will be required to recognize for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) a lease liability, which is a lessee's obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis and a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee's right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years (i.e. a January 1, 2019 effective date). We are in the process of determining the transition plan and evaluating the effect the guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments – Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, which amends the guidance in U.S. GAAP on the classification and measurement of financial instruments. Changes to the current guidance primarily affect the accounting for equity investments, financial liabilities under the fair value option, and the presentation and disclosure requirements for financial instruments. The new standard is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017 (i.e. a January 1, 2018 effective date), and upon adoption, an entity should apply the amendments by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to the balance sheet at the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. Early adoption is not permitted except for the provision to record fair value changes for financial liabilities under the fair value option resulting from instrument-specific credit risk in other comprehensive income. We are evaluating the effect the guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. This guidance will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. We intend to adopt this standard for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 (i.e. a January 1, 2018 effective date). The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. We expect to apply the modified retrospective adoption method. While, we are still evaluating the effect that ASU 2014-09 will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures, in the fourth quarter of 2016, we performed an initial impact assessment by analyzing certain of our existing material revenue transactions and arrangements, and do not expect material changes to our current policies related to the timing of revenue recognition and the accounting for costs; however the standard will impact our disclosures by potentially requiring further disaggregation of revenue. Also, due to the recently announced agreement with DuPont, we expect to perform further impact assessments subsequent to the closing of the expected transaction.

Recently adopted accounting guidance

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718) ("ASU 2016-09"). ASU 2016-09 identifies areas for simplification involving several aspects of accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as equity or liabilities, an option to recognize gross stock compensation expense with actual forfeitures recognized as they occur, as well as certain classifications on the statement of cash flows. The new standard was effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those

years (i.e. a January 1, 2017 effective date). We adopted this standard prospectively beginning in 2017. The adoption impacted our recognition of excess tax benefit, which is recorded within provision for income taxes on the condensed consolidated statements of income. Additionally, the presentation of excess tax benefit on our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows was impacted as it is now shown within cash flows from operating activities. The excess tax benefit recognized within provision for income taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 was approximately $0.7 million and $1.3 million, respectively.

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory. This standard changes the criteria by which to measure inventory. Prior to the issuance of this new standard, inventory was measured at the lower of cost or market value. This required three separate data points in order to measure inventory. The three data points were cost, market with a ceiling of net realizable value and market with a floor of net realizable value less a normal profit margin. This amendment eliminates the two data points defining "market" and replaces them with one, net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. This amendment does not impact inventory measured using last-in, first-out. This standard was effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, (i.e. a January 1, 2017 effective date). We adopted this standard beginning in 2017. The adoption did not have an impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Note 3: Acquisitions

DuPont Crop Protection

On March 31, 2017, we entered into a definitive Transaction Agreement (the “Transaction Agreement”) with DuPont. Pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the Transaction Agreement, (1) we have agreed to purchase certain assets relating to DuPont’s Crop Protection business and research and development organization (the"Acquisition") and (2) DuPont has agreed to purchase FMC Health and Nutrition, excluding our Omega-3 business. Additionally, we will pay DuPont $1.2 billion in cash (subject to certain adjustments set forth in the Transaction Agreement), which reflects the difference in negotiated value between the divested businesses. We expect to complete the transactions in the fourth quarter of 2017. Refer to Note 10.

Also, on March 27, 2017, in connection with the Transaction Agreement, we entered into a commitment letter (the “Commitment Letter”) with Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (collectively with certain of its affiliates, the “Commitment Party”). The Commitment Letter provided that, in connection with the Transactions and subject to the conditions set forth in the Commitment Letter, the Commitment Party would commit to provide to the Company, among other things, a $1.5 billion 364-day bridge term loan and, in certain circumstances, a $1.5 billion revolving credit facility and a $750 million term loan facility. Fees incurred to secure these commitments of approximately $8.5 million were to be deferred and are being amortized over the term of the applicable arrangements.

On May 2, 2017, the financing available under the Commitment Letter was terminated and replaced by a $1.5 billion term loan facility and an amended and restated $1.5 billion revolving credit facility. Approximately $3.8 million of the deferred fees associated with the Commitment Letter were expensed in the second quarter of 2017 and presented within "Selling, general and administrative expenses" within our condensed consolidated statements of income (loss) consistent with other acquisition-related costs. The remaining fees have been capitalized in combination with the term loan facility. The details of the term loan facility and the revolving credit facility are provided in Note 9 within these condensed consolidated financial statements.

On July 27, 2017, the European Commission (“EC”) conditionally approved our pending acquisition of certain assets of DuPont’s Crop Protection business. The Acquisition is conditioned upon us divesting the portfolio of products required by the EC remedy. This remedy is expected to impact FMC Agricultural Solutions’ annual operating profit by $10 million to $15 million. Upon being notified of the EC’s ruling, we have commenced steps necessary to complete the divestiture within the required timeframe.

Acquisition-related charges

Pursuant to US GAAP, costs incurred associated with the planned or completed acquisitions are expensed as incurred. The following table summarizes the costs incurred associated with these combined activities.

The company has 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 $129.3 million as of June 30, 2017. These long-term customer receivable balances and the corresponding allowance are included in "Other assets" on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

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. On an ongoing basis, we continue to evaluate the credit quality of our non-current receivables using aging of receivables, collection experience and write-offs, as well as evaluating existing economic conditions, to determine if an additional allowance is necessary.

Environmental charges represent the net charges associated with environmental remediation at continuing operating sites. See Note 11 for additional details.

Argentina Devaluation

On December 17, 2015, the Argentina government initiated actions to significantly devalue its currency. These actions continued into a portion of the first quarter of 2016. These actions created an immediate loss associated with the impacts of the remeasurement of our local balance sheet. The loss was attributable to our FMC Lithium and FMC Agricultural Solutions operations. Because of the severity of the event and its immediate impact to our operations in the country, the charge associated with the remeasurement was included within "Restructuring and other charges (income)" in our condensed consolidated income statement during the period. We believe these actions have ended and do not expect further charges for remeasurement to be included within restructuring and other charges.

Other items, Net

Other items, net for the six months ended June 30, 2017 primarily relate to exit costs resulting from the termination and de-consolidation of our interest in a variable interest entity that was previously consolidated and was part of our FMC Agricultural Solutions segment.

(1)	Letters of credit outstanding under our Credit Facility totaled $135.7 million and available funds under this facility were $1,364.3 million at June 30, 2017.

New Term Loan Facility

On May 2, 2017, we entered into a term loan agreement (the “Term Loan Agreement”), that provides for a senior unsecured term loan facility of up to $1.5 billion (the “New Term Loan Facility” or "2017 Term Loan Facility") to fund the Transaction Agreement with DuPont. The New Term Loan Facility is a senior unsecured obligation that ranks equally with our other senior unsecured obligations. The proceeds of the loans to be made pursuant to the New Term Loan Facility will be available in one or more drawings on the closing date of the New Term Loan Facility, which will be substantially concurrent with the closing of the expected transaction with DuPont. The scheduled maturity of the New Term Loan Facility is on the fifth anniversary of this closing date. The proceeds will be used to finance the expected transaction with DuPont as well as to pay fees, expenses and taxes incurred in connection with the expected transaction and the other expected transactions contemplated by or related to the expected transaction with DuPont or the New Term Loan Facility.

Loans under the Term Loan Agreement will bear interest at a floating rate, which will be a base rate or a Eurocurrency rate equal to the London interbank offered rate for the relevant interest period, plus in each case an applicable margin, as determined in accordance with the provisions of the Term Loan Agreement. The base rate will be the highest of: the rate of interest announced publicly by Citibank, N.A. in New York, New York from time to time as its “base rate”; the federal funds effective rate plus 1/2 of 1 percent; and the Eurocurrency rate for a one-month period plus 1 percent.

We are required to pay a commitment fee on the average daily unused amount from May 2, 2017 until the date on which all commitments are terminated, payable quarterly, at a rate per annum equal to an applicable percentage in effect from time to time for commitment fees. The initial commitment fee is 0.15 percent per annum. The applicable margin and the commitment fee are subject to adjustment as provided in the Term Loan Agreement.

The Term Loan Agreement contains customary financial and other covenants, including a maximum leverage ratio and minimum interest coverage ratio. Fees incurred to secure the New Term Loan Facility have been deferred and will be amortized over the term of the arrangement.

On May 2, 2017, we amended our existing 2014 Term Loan Facility. Among other things, the amendment temporarily increased the maximum leverage ratio financial covenant in order to permit the debt incurred under the contemplated New Term Loan Facility discussed above along with certain other changes to permit the expected transaction.

Revolving Credit Facility

On May 2, 2017 we entered into an amended and restated credit agreement (the "Revolving Credit Agreement"). The unsecured Revolving Credit Agreement provides for a $1.5 billion revolving credit facility, with an option, subject to certain conditions and limitations, to increase the aggregate amount of the revolving credit commitments to $2.25 billion (the "Revolving Credit Facility"). The current termination date of the Revolving Credit Facility is May 2, 2022.

Revolving loans under the Revolving Credit Facility will bear interest at a floating rate, which will be a base rate or a Eurocurrency rate equal to the London interbank offered rate for the relevant interest period, plus, in each case, an applicable margin, as determined in accordance with the provisions of the Revolving Credit Agreement. The base rate will be the highest of: the rate of interest announced publicly by Citibank, N.A. in New York, New York from time to time as its “base rate”; the federal funds effective rate plus 1/2 of 1 percent; and the Eurocurrency rate for a one-month period plus 1 percent. We are also required to pay a facility fee on the average daily amount (whether used or unused) at a rate per annum equal to an applicable percentage in effect from time to time for the facility fee, as determined in accordance with the provisions of the Revolving Credit Agreement. The initial facility fee is 0.15 percent per annum. The applicable margin and the facility fee are subject to adjustment as provided in the Revolving Credit Agreement.

The Revolving Credit Agreement contains customary financial and other covenants, including a maximum leverage ratio and minimum interest coverage ratio. The financial covenant levels have been amended in order to permit the debt incurred under the contemplated New Term Loan Facility discussed above along with certain other changes to permit the expected transaction.

Fees incurred to secure the Revolving Credit Facility have been deferred and will be amortized over the term of the arrangement.

Covenants

Among other restrictions, our Credit Facility and Term Loan Facility contain 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). Our actual leverage for the four consecutive quarters ended June 30, 2017, was 2.8 which is below the maximum leverage of 3.75 at June 30, 2017. Our actual interest coverage for the four consecutive quarters ended June 30, 2017, was 8.0 which is above the minimum interest coverage of 3.5. We were in compliance with all covenants at June 30, 2017.

Note 10: Discontinued Operations

FMC Health and Nutrition:

On March 31, 2017, we signed a definitive agreement to sell FMC Health and Nutrition, excluding the Omega-3 business, as part of the Transaction Agreement with DuPont. Refer to Note 3 for more details. We expect the sale to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2017, subject to the closing of the merger between DuPont and Dow Corporation and customary regulatory approvals and closing conditions. We have concluded, as a result of the signing of the Transaction Agreement, that FMC Health and Nutrition, excluding the Omega-3 business, has met the criteria to be an asset held for sale. Due to the strategic shift as a result of exiting the Health and Nutrition business, FMC Health and Nutrition has been presented as a discontinued operation in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

As part of the strategic shift to exit the Health and Nutrition business, we began to pursue the sale of the Omega-3 business and on June 22, 2017, we signed a definitive agreement to sell the Omega-3 business to Pelagia AS. On August 1, 2017, we completed the sale of the Omega-3 business for $38 million.

FMC CORPORATION

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) — (Continued)

We have concluded that the Omega-3 business also met the criteria to be an asset held for sale and therefore has been presented as a discontinued operation in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Assets held for sale under U.S. GAAP are required to be reported at the lower of carrying value or fair value, less costs to sell. We expect a significant gain on the FMC Health and Nutrition assets to be sold to DuPont and therefore these assets held for sale are reported at their carrying value. However, the fair value of the Omega-3 business, which was previously part of the broader FMC Health and Nutrition reporting unit, is significantly less than its carrying value, which includes accumulated foreign currency translation adjustments that would be reclassified to earnings upon completion of sale. As a result, we recorded an impairment charge of approximately $185 million ($165 million, net of tax) during the three months ended March 31, 2017. The charge was revised during the three months ended June 30, 2017 as a result of signing a definitive agreement to sell the Omega-3 business. The impairment charge for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was approximately $171 million ($151 million, net of tax).

The results of our discontinued FMC Health and Nutrition operations are summarized below:

(1)	These amounts are included within "Accrued and other liabilities" on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.


(2)	These amounts are included in "Environmental liabilities, continuing and discontinued" on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.


(3)	These recorded recoveries represent probable realization of claims against U.S. government agencies and are recorded as an offset to our environmental reserves in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The estimated reasonably possible environmental loss contingencies, net of expected recoveries, exceed amounts accrued by approximately $240 million at June 30, 2017. 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 "Other assets including long-term receivables, net" in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Middleport

In the federal court action before the United States District Court for the Western District of New York, FMC responded to the Court’s dismissal of FMC’s action by filing a Motion to Vacate Judgment and For Leave to Amend Complaint on March 2, 2017. The purpose of this motion is to allow FMC to amend its Complaint to add a citizen’s suit under RCRA against the United States for the Environmental Protection Agency's failure to perform its non-discretionary duties under the 1991 Administrative Order on Consent ("AOC"). Simultaneously, FMC served the EPA with a 60-day notice letter, which is a procedural precursor to filing the citizen’s suit complaint.

On June 2, 2017, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation ("NYSDEC") filed its appellate brief. Subsequently on June 8, 2017, FMC filed a motion to strike portions of NYSDEC's brief that were items outside the record on appeal. NYSDEC responded to the motion to strike on June 19, 2017, and we are awaiting a decision from the court on the motion. On July 19, 2017 we submitted our responsive appellate brief. NYSDEC's reply is due August 4, 2017. Oral argument is anticipated to occur this fall.

As disclosed in our 2016 Form 10-K, our reserve continues to include the estimated liability for clean-up to reflect the costs associated with our recommended Corrective Action Management Alternatives.

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. There were no potential common shares excluded from Diluted EPS for the three months ended June 30, 2017. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, there were 0.8 million potential common shares excluded from Diluted EPS. There were 1.3 million and 1.8 million potential common shares excluded from Diluted EPS for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) — (Continued)

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 the six months ended June 30, 2017 we recognized a curtailment loss of $3.9 million associated with the expected disposal of our FMC Health and Nutrition business, which was recorded within "Discontinued operations, net of income taxes" within the condensed consolidated statements of income (loss).

We made voluntary cash contributions to our U.S. defined benefit pension plan in the six months ended June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016 of $24.0 million and $21.0 million, respectively. We expect to make approximately $40 million in voluntary cash contributions to our U.S. defined benefit pension plan during 2017.

Note 15: Income Taxes

We determine our interim tax provision using an Estimated Annual Effective Tax Rate methodology (“EAETR”) in accordance with 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. The tax effects of discrete items are recognized in the tax provision in the period they occur in accordance with 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.

In the first quarter of 2017, we changed our assertion on unremitted earnings for certain foreign subsidiaries as a result of our expected sale of our discontinued FMC Health and Nutrition segment. Therefore, as of the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, we provided deferred tax liabilities of approximately $17.8 million attributable to outside basis differences within the FMC Health and Nutrition segment. We have not provided income taxes on undistributed earnings of our other foreign subsidiaries or affiliates since our intention remains that such earnings will be indefinitely reinvested. Refer to Note 10 for more information.

The below chart provides a reconciliation between our reported effective tax rate and the EAETR of our continuing operations.

(2)	Represents transaction gains or losses for currency remeasurement offset by associated hedge gains or losses, which are accounted for discretely in accordance with GAAP. Certain transaction gains or losses for currency remeasurement are not taxable, while offsetting hedge gains or losses are taxable.


(3)	GAAP generally requires subsidiaries for which a full valuation allowance has been provided to be excluded from the EAETR. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, the other discrete items component of the EAETR reconciliation primarily relates to the discrete accounting for these pretax losses.

(4)

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, tax only discrete items are comprised of the tax effect of currency remeasurement associated with foreign statutory operations, changes in realizability of certain deferred tax assets, changes in uncertain tax liabilities and related interest, excess tax benefits associated with share-based compensation, and changes in prior year estimates of subsidiary tax liabilities. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, tax only discrete items are comprised primarily of the tax effect of currency remeasurement associated with foreign statutory operations, changes in realizability or measurement of certain deferred tax assets, and changes in prior year estimates of subsidiary tax liabilities.


(5)	The decrease in the EAETR for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 is primarily driven by reduced domestic earnings in our FMC Agricultural Solutions business and the impact of the full integration of Cheminova into our global supply chain.

Note 16: 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 and option 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 and option contracts are included in the tables within this Note. The estimated fair value of debt is $1,864.2 million and $1,964.9 million and the carrying amount is $1,784.8 million and $1,893.0 million as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, 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 17 for more information. Decisions to extend financial guarantees to customers, and the amount of collateral required under these guarantees is 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 foreign exchange contracts, including forward and purchased options contracts, to reduce the effects of fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates. A detailed description of these risks including a discussion on the concentration of credit risk is provided in Note 17 to our consolidated financial statements on our 2016 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

Table of Contents

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) — (Continued)

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 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, 2017, we had open foreign currency forward contracts in AOCI in a net after tax gain position of $4.5 million designated as cash flow hedges of underlying forecasted sales and purchases. Current open contracts hedge forecasted transactions until December 31, 2017. At June 30, 2017, 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 $253.6 million.

As of June 30, 2017, we had current open commodity contracts in AOCI in a net after tax loss position of $0.0 million designated as cash flow hedges of underlying forecasted purchases, primarily related to natural gas. Current open commodity contracts hedge forecasted transactions until December 31, 2017. At June 30, 2017, we had an equivalent of 1.0 million mmBTUs (millions of British Thermal Units) in aggregate notional volume of outstanding natural gas commodity forward contracts to hedge forecasted purchases.

Approximately $4.4 million of the net gains after-tax, representing both open foreign currency exchange contracts and commodity contracts, will be realized in earnings during the twelve months ending June 30, 2018 if spot rates in the future are consistent with forward rates as of June 30, 2017. 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 $1,562.9 million at June 30, 2017.

Fair-Value Measurements

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 condensed consolidated balance sheets. During the periods presented there were no transfers between fair-value hierarchy levels.

As further discussed in Note 10, the fair value of the FMC Health and Nutrition business being exchanged to DuPont are significantly greater than its carrying value. However, we determined the fair value of our separate Omega-3 assets held for sale, which are not included in the expected DuPont transaction, to be significantly less than carrying value. These assets used to be part of the broader FMC Health and Nutrition reporting unit. The charge was recorded to “Discontinued operations, net of income taxes” on the condensed consolidated statements of income (loss) for the six months ended June 30, 2017.

Note 17: 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, 2017. These guarantees arise during the ordinary course of business from relationships with customers and nonconsolidated 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.



(in Millions)
Guarantees:
Guarantees of vendor financing - short-term ⁽¹⁾	$	65.2
Guarantees of vendor financing - long-term ⁽¹⁾	8.3
Other debt guarantees ⁽²⁾	1.1
Total	$	74.6

____________________


(1)	Represents guarantees to financial institutions on behalf of certain FMC Agricultural Solutions customers for their seasonal borrowing. This short term amount is recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as “Guarantees of vendor financing.” The long term amount is recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheets within "Other long-term liabilities."

(2)

These guarantees represent support provided to third-party banks for credit extended to various FMC Agricultural Solutions customers and nonconsolidated affiliates. 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. We believe the fair-value of these guarantees is immaterial. The majority of these guarantees have an expiration date of less than one year.

Excluded from the chart above, 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 these 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. If triggered, we may be able to recover some of the indemnity payments from third parties. We have not recorded any specific liabilities for these guarantees.

Contingencies

A detailed discussion related to our outstanding contingencies can be found in Note 18 to our consolidated financial statements included within our 2016 Form 10-K.

Our non-operating pension and postretirement costs are defined as those costs related to interest, expected return on plan assets, amortized actuarial gains and losses and the impacts of any plan curtailments or settlements. These costs are primarily related to changes in pension plan assets and liabilities which are tied to financial market performance and we consider these costs to be outside our operational performance. We exclude these non-operating pension and postretirement costs from our segments as we believe that removing them provides a better understanding of the underlying profitability of our businesses, increased transparency and clarity in the performance of our retirement plans and enhances period-over-period comparability. We continue to include the service cost and amortization of prior service cost in the operating segments noted above. We believe these elements reflect the current year operating costs to our businesses for the employment benefits provided to active employees. These expenses are included as a component of the line item “Selling, general and administrative expenses” on the condensed consolidated statements of income (loss).

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 2016 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” section in our 2016 10-K for a detailed description of these policies and their potential effects on our results of operations and financial condition.

See Note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q for a discussion of recently adopted accounting guidance and other new accounting guidance.

OVERVIEW

We are a diversified chemical company serving agricultural, consumer and industrial markets globally with innovative solutions, applications and market-leading products. We operate in two distinct business segments: FMC Agricultural Solutions and FMC Lithium. Our FMC Agricultural Solutions segment develops, markets and sells all three major classes of crop protection chemicals: insecticides, herbicides and fungicides. These products are used in agriculture to enhance crop yield and quality by controlling a broad spectrum of insects, weeds and disease, as well as in non-agricultural markets for pest control. Our FMC Lithium segment manufactures lithium for use in a wide range of lithium products, which are used primarily in energy storage, specialty polymers and chemical synthesis application.

Second Quarter 2017 Highlights

The following are the more significant developments in our businesses during the three months ended June 30, 2017:

•

Revenue of $656.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 increased $41.5 million or 7 percent versus the same period last year. The increase in revenue was attributable to both FMC Agricultural Solutions and FMC Lithium. A more detailed review of revenues by segment is discussed under the section titled "Results of Operations". On a regional basis, sales in North America decreased 5 percent period over period while sales in Asia increased by 6 percent, sales in Latin America increased 37 percent, and sales in Europe, Middle East and Africa increased by 5 percent.


•	Our gross margin of $234.4 million decreased slightly versus the prior year's second quarter by $1.0 million. Gross margin percent of 36 percent also decreased compared to 38 percent in the prior year.


•	Selling, general and administrative expenses, excluding acquisition-related charges and non-operating pension and postretirement charges, increased by approximately $5 million or 5 percent to $109.8 million.


•	Research and development expenses of $32.0 million decreased $1.2 million or 4 percent. A majority of the decrease was due to registration and regulatory timing within FMC Agricultural Solutions.

•

Adjusted after-tax earnings from continuing operations attributable to FMC stockholders of $64.8 million increased compared to the prior year amount of $62.3 million primarily due to higher results in FMC Lithium, which were partially offset by decreases in FMC Agricultural Solutions. See the disclosure of our Adjusted Earnings Non-GAAP financial measurement below, under the section titled "Results of Operations".

Other Highlights

In June 2017, we signed a definitive agreement to sell the Omega-3 business to Pelagia AS. Refer to Note 10.

In May 2017, we entered into a new $1.5 billion term loan facility to fund the Transaction Agreement with DuPont.We also entered into an amended and restated $1.5 billion revolving credit facility and amended the existing term loan facility at that time. Among other things, the amendments temporarily increased the maximum leverage ratio financial covenant in order to permit the debt incurred under the contemplated New Term Loan Facility along with certain other changes to permit the expected transaction.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview

The following presents a reconciliation of our segment operating profit to the net income attributable to FMC stockholders as seen through the eyes of our management. For management purposes, we report the operating performance of each of our business segments based on earnings before interest and income taxes excluding corporate expenses, other income (expense), net and corporate special income (charges).

The following chart, which is provided to assist the readers of our financial statements, depicts certain after-tax charges (gains). These items are excluded by us in the measures we use to evaluate business performance and determine certain performance-based compensation. These after-tax items are discussed in detail within the “Other results of operations” section that follows. Additionally, the chart below discloses our Non-GAAP financial measure “Adjusted after-tax earnings from continuing operations attributable to FMC stockholders” reconciled from the GAAP financial measure “Net income (loss) attributable to FMC stockholders.” We believe that this measure provides useful information about our operating results to investors. We also believe that excluding the effect of restructuring and other income and charges, non-operating pension and postretirement charges, 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 businesses from period to period. This measure should not be considered as a substitute for net income (loss) or other measures of performance or liquidity reported in accordance with GAAP.

(1)	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.

(2)

We exclude the GAAP tax provision, including discrete items, from the Non-GAAP measure of income, and instead 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 not limited to: income tax expenses or benefits that are not related to ongoing business operations 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 changes in tax law. Management believes excluding these discrete tax items assists investors and securities analysts in understanding the tax provision and the effective tax rate related to ongoing operations thereby providing investors with useful supplemental information about FMC's operational performance.

In the discussion below, please refer to our chart titled "Segment Results Reconciliation" within the Results of Operations section. All comparisons are between the periods unless otherwise noted.

Segment Results

For management purposes, segment operating profit is defined as segment revenue less operating expenses (segment operating expenses consist of costs of sales and services, selling, general and administrative expenses and research and development expenses). We have excluded the following items from segment operating profit: corporate staff expense, interest income and expense associated with corporate debt facilities and investments, income taxes, gains (or losses) on divestitures of businesses, restructuring and other charges (income), non-operating pension and postretirement charges, investment gains and losses, loss on extinguishment of debt, asset impairments, Last-in, First-out ("LIFO") inventory adjustments, acquisition-related charges, and other income and expense items.

Information about how each of these items relates to our businesses at the segment level and results by segment is discussed in Note 18 of the condensed consolidated financial statements included within this Form 10-Q and in Note 19 of our consolidated financial statements in our 2016 Form 10-K.

Revenue

Three months ended June 30, 2017 vs. 2016

Revenue of $582.8 million increased approximately 6 percent versus the prior year quarter primarily due to overall higher sales mainly from higher volumes in Latin America. Overall, higher volumes increased revenue by 10 percent compared to the prior period while pricing had a 4 percent negative impact. See below for discussion on revenue by region.

Six months ended June 30, 2017 vs. 2016

Revenue of $1,113.2 million increased approximately 1 percent versus the prior year period primarily due to higher volumes discussed for the three months ended June 30, 2017 above, which more than offset lower volumes from the first quarter of 2017. The higher volumes increased revenue by 3 percent period over period while pricing and mix had a 2 percent negative impact. See below for discussion on revenue by region.

___________________

(1)

Increase in the three months ended June 30, 2017 was due to favorable pricing and new product launches. These increases were somewhat offset by lower fungicides volume and hot, dry conditions in Southern Europe. The decrease in the six months ended June 30, 2017 was primarily due to the late start to the season in Northwestern Europe in the three months ended March 31, 2017, partially offset by the favorable pricing and new product launches in cereal herbicides and fungicides in the three months ended June 30, 2017.


(2)	Decrease in the three months ended June 30, 2017 was due to lower volumes and price in the region. The lower volume impacted herbicides for rice and insecticides for corn. The decrease in the six months ended June 30, 2017 was primarily due to the same reasons mentioned in the three months ended June 30, 2017.


(3)	Increase in the three months ended June 30, 2017 was primarily driven by higher volumes in Brazil, due to the increased cotton production and yields, as well as increased volumes of pre-emergent herbicides in Argentina. The increase in the six months ended June 30, 2017 was due to the favorable volume impacts discussed above as well as favorable foreign currency impacts in Brazil.


(4)	Increase for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 was primarily due to successful product launches in China for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017. Additionally, there were increased herbicide volumes in Australia from pasture application as well as increased demand for rice insecticides in Indonesia.

Operating Profit

Three months ended June 30, 2017 vs. 2016

FMC Agricultural Solutions' operating profit of $95.7 million decreased by approximately 5 percent compared to the year-ago quarter. The decrease was mainly driven by unfavorable price which contributed 21 percent to the decline. This was offset by increases in volumes and foreign currency which contributed 14 percent and 3 percent, respectively. Additionally, higher costs had a 1 percent negative impact on profit.

Six months ended June 30, 2017 vs. 2016

Operating profit of $178.7 million decreased approximately 2 percent versus the prior year period. The decrease was mainly driven by unfavorable price and product mix which contributed 9 percent to the decline. This was offset by increases in volumes and foreign currency which contributed 3 percent and 4 percent, respectively.

Outlook

For 2017, full-year segment revenue is expected to be approximately $2.3 billion to $2.4 billion and full-year segment earnings are expected to be in the range of $415 million to $445 million. The outlook excludes any earnings from the pending transaction with DuPont which is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2017.

FMC Lithium



(in Millions)	Three Months Ended June 30				Six Months Ended June 30
(in Millions)	2017		2016		2017		2016
Revenue	$	74.0	$	63.3	$	139.6	$	123.6
Operating Profit	24.2		16.5		45.8		31.4

Three months ended June 30, 2017 vs. 2016

Revenue of $74.0 million increased by approximately 17 percent versus the prior-year quarter. Higher pricing contributed 20 percent to the revenue increase while lower volumes impacted revenue by 2 percent. The lower volumes were caused by an increase in work in process material as carbonate was shipped to supply the new hydroxide plant. Unfavorable foreign currency had a minimal impact of 1 percent on revenue.

Segment operating profit of $24.2 million increased $7.7 million versus the year ago quarter. The favorable pricing noted above impacted results by approximately $12 million. Favorable foreign currency impacts increased operating profit by less than $1 million. These increases were offset by higher operating costs, which impacted results by approximately $4 million driven by costs related to expansion. The lower volumes noted above reduced operating profit by approximately $1 million.

Six months ended June 30, 2017 vs. 2016

Revenue of $139.6 million increased by approximately 13 percent versus the prior-year period. Higher pricing contributed 19 percent to the revenue increase while lower volumes impacted revenue by 6 percent. The lower volumes were caused by an increase in work in process material due to some shifts in carbonate to supply the new hydroxide plant.

Segment operating profit of $45.8 million increased $14.4 million versus the prior-year period. The favorable pricing noted above impacted results by approximately $24 million. Favorable foreign currency impacts increased operating profit by approximately $1 million. These increases were offset by higher operating costs, which impacted results by approximately $7 million driven by higher raw material and energy prices as well as expansion related costs. The lower volumes noted above reduced operating profit by $4 million.

Outlook

Segment earnings are now expected to be between $115 million and $125 million for the full year of 2017, an increase of 71 percent over 2016 at the mid-point of the range and $10 million higher than the previous range.

We continue to invest in FMC Lithium and to move forward with our plans to expand our lithium hydroxide operations. We will continue to operate FMC Lithium as a standalone business within FMC. Our strategic intent is that we will spin off FMC Lithium as a separate, publicly traded company.

Other Results of Operations

Corporate and other

Corporate and other expenses are included as a component of the line item “Selling, general and administrative expenses” except for LIFO related charges that are included as a component of "Cost of sales and services" on the condensed consolidated statements of income (loss).

Three months ended June 30, 2017 vs. 2016

Corporate and other expenses of $27.2 million in the second quarter of 2017 increased by $7.8 million from $19.4 million in the same period in 2016. The increase was primarily driven by approximately $4 million of foreign exchange losses associated with intercompany loans. Additionally, the prior period included approximately $2 million of LIFO income that did not recur in 2017.

Six months ended June 30, 2017 vs. 2016

Corporate and other expenses of $48.8 million in the first half of 2017 increased by $12.7 million from $36.1 million in the same period in 2016. The increase was primarily driven by approximately $5 million of foreign exchange losses associated with intercompany loans and approximately $3 million of higher corporate facility costs. The LIFO impact discussed above also impacted the six months ended results.

Interest expense, net

Three months ended June 30, 2017 vs. 2016

Interest expense, net for the second quarter of 2017 of $17.2 million increased primarily due to higher foreign debt balances and increases in interest rates and partially offset by lower term loan balances as compared to the second quarter of 2016 of $15.2 million.

Six months ended June 30, 2017 vs. 2016

Interest expense, net for the first half of 2017 of $32.9 million increased primarily due to higher foreign debt balances and increases in interest rates and partially offset by lower term loan balances as compared to the first half of 2016 of $31.0 million.

Three months ended June 30, 2017 vs. 2016

Restructuring and asset disposal charges in 2017 of $2.7 million were primarily related to the other Corporate charges.

Restructuring and asset disposal charges in 2016 of $5.9 million were primarily associated with the Cheminova restructuring to integrate the business into our existing FMC Agricultural Solutions segment for the quarter.

Other charges (income), net in 2017 of $4.2 million were primarily related to $3.3 million of environmental related charges as well as $0.9 million of other miscellaneous charges.

Other charges (income), net in 2016 of $3.2 million were primarily related to $2.5 million of environmental related charges. Additionally, we had other miscellaneous charges of $0.7 million.

The liabilities associated with the restructuring charges listed above are also included within Note 8 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q. We believe the restructuring plans implemented are on schedule and the benefits and savings either have been or will be achieved.

Non-operating pension and postretirement charges

The income for the three months ended June 30, 2017 was $4.1 million compared to a charge of $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016. The decrease in charges was primarily due to the change in estimate of amortizing gains and losses over the expected lifetime of the inactive population rather than the average remaining service period of active participants as described in our 2016 Form 10-K. The gain/loss amortization period for the U.S. qualified pension plan increased from about eight years to about nineteen years as a result of this change. See Note 14 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this

Form 10-Q for more information. These expenses are included as a component of the line item "Selling, general and administrative expenses" on the condensed consolidated statements of income (loss).

Acquisition-related charges

A detailed description of the acquisition-related charges is included in Note 18 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included within this Form 10-Q.

Six months ended June 30, 2017 vs. 2016

Restructuring and asset disposal charges in 2017 of $2.7 million were primarily related to the other Corporate charges.

Restructuring and asset disposal charges in 2016 of $8.9 million were primarily associated with the Cheminova restructuring to integrate the business into our existing FMC Agricultural Solutions segment for the quarter.

Other charges (income), net in 2017 of $12.5 million were primarily related to $5.6 million of environmental related charges. Other charges (income), net also included $4.7 million of exit costs resulting from the termination and deconsolidation of a variable interest entity that was previously consolidated and was part of our FMC Agricultural Solutions segment. Additionally, we had $2.2 million of charges related to Corporate. See Note 8 within the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q for more information.

Other charges (income), net in 2016 of $9.7 million were primarily related to $9.1 million of environmental related charges as well as $4.2 million of charges associated with currency devaluation within Argentina as a result of deliberate actions by the government of that country. These charges were offset by other miscellaneous income of $3.6 million.

Non-operating pension and postretirement charges

The income for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was $8.7 million compared to a charge of $2.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The decrease in charges was primarily due to the change in estimate of amortizing gains and losses over the expected lifetime of the inactive population rather than the average remaining service period of active participants as described in our 2016 Form 10-K.

Acquisition-related charges

A detailed description of the acquisition-related charges is included in Note 18 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included within this Form 10-Q.

Provision for income taxes

A significant amount of our earnings is generated by our foreign subsidiaries (e.g. Denmark and Hong Kong), which tax earnings at lower rates than the United States federal statutory rate. Our future effective tax rates may be materially impacted by numerous items including: a future change in the composition of earnings from foreign and domestic tax jurisdictions, as earnings in foreign jurisdictions are typically taxed at more favorable rates than the United States federal statutory rate; accounting for uncertain tax positions; business combinations; expiration of statute of limitations or settlement of tax audits; changes in valuation allowance; changes in tax law; and the potential decision to repatriate certain future foreign earnings on which United States taxes have not been previously accrued.

Three months ended June 30, 2017 vs. 2016

Provision for income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2017 was $3.3 million resulting in an effective tax rate of 6.3 percent and was $20.5 million resulting in an effective tax rate of 30.5 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2016. Additional detail explaining the change in the GAAP effective tax rate is presented in Note 15 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included within this Form 10-Q. Below is a table that adjusts our income and taxes for the effect of corporate special charges and certain tax adjustments. We believe showing this reconciliation of our GAAP to Non-GAAP effective tax rate provides investors with useful supplemental information about our tax rate on the core underlying business.

(1) Refer to note 2 of the Adjusted Earnings Reconciliation of this Form 10-Q for an explanation of tax adjustments.

The primary drivers for the decrease in the second quarter effective tax rate for 2017 compared to 2016 are shown in the table above. The remaining change was due to reduced domestic earnings in our FMC Agricultural Solutions business and the impact of the full integration of Cheminova into our global supply chain.

Six months ended June 30, 2017 vs. 2016

Provision for income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was $12.7 million resulting in an effective tax rate of 11.9 percent and was $40.9 million resulting in an effective tax rate of 36 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2016. Additional detail explaining the change in the GAAP effective tax rate is presented in Note 15 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included within this Form 10-Q. Below is a table that adjusts our income and taxes for the effect of corporate special charges and certain tax adjustments.

_______________

(1) Refer to note 2 of the Adjusted Earnings Reconciliation of this Form 10-Q for an explanation of tax adjustments.

The primary drivers for the decrease in the year-to-date effective tax rate for 2017 compared to 2016 are shown in the table above. The remaining change was due to reduced domestic earnings in our FMC Agricultural Solutions business and the impact of the full integration of Cheminova into our global supply chain.

Discontinued operations, net of income taxes

Our discontinued operations represent our discontinued FMC Health and Nutrition as well as adjustments to retained liabilities from other previously discontinued operations. The primary liabilities retained include environmental liabilities, other postretirement benefit liabilities, self-insurance, long-term obligations related to legal proceedings and historical restructuring activities.

Three months ended June 30, 2017 vs. 2016

Discontinued operations, net of income taxes represented a gain of $26.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017, compared to $20.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016. The results for the three months ended June 30, 2017 include a $13.8 million ($13.8 million, net of tax) adjustment to the impairment charge that was previously recorded. This adjusts our Omega-3 business to its estimated fair value less cost to sell as a result of the definitive agreement to sell EPAX to Pelagia, signed on June 22, 2017. Refer to Note 10 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included within this Form 10-Q for further information.

Six months ended June 30, 2017 vs. 2016

Discontinued operations, net of income taxes represented a loss of $142.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017, compared

to income of $42.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The results for the six months ended June 30, 2017 include an impairment charge of approximately $171 million ($151 million, net of tax) to write down our Omega-3 business to its estimated fair value less cost to sell. Refer to Note 10 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included within this Form 10-Q for further information.

Net income (loss) attributable to FMC stockholders

Three months ended June 30, 2017 vs. 2016

Net income attributable to FMC stockholders increased to a gain of $74.7 million from $65.2 million in the prior-year quarter. The increase was primarily due to a lower effective tax rate, as well as a higher gain from discontinued operations, net of income taxes as discussed above.

Six months ended June 30, 2017 vs. 2016

Net income attributable to FMC stockholders decreased to a loss of $49.5 million from income of $113.5 million in the prior-year quarter. The decrease was primarily due to the impairment charge, associated with our Omega-3 business, which was recorded to discontinued operations as discussed above.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, were $113.2 million and $64.2 million, respectively. Of the cash and cash equivalents balance at June 30, 2017, $92.3 million were held by our foreign subsidiaries. Our intent is to reinvest indefinitely the earnings of our foreign subsidiaries and therefore we have not recorded taxes that would be payable if we repatriated these earnings, however, in the first quarter of 2017 we changed our assertion on unremitted earnings for certain foreign subsidiaries as a result of our expected sale of our discontinued FMC Health and Nutrition segment and have recorded the taxes that would be payable upon such repatriation within discontinued operations.

At June 30, 2017, we had total debt of $1,784.8 million as compared to $1,893.0 million at December 31, 2016. Total debt included $1,592.3 million and $1,798.8 million of long-term debt (excluding current portions of $101.2 million and $2.4 million) at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. As of June 30, 2017, we were in compliance with all of our debt covenants. See Note 9 in the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q for further details.

Short-term debt, which consists of borrowings under our commercial paper program as well as short-term foreign borrowings, increased from $94.2 million at December 31, 2016 to $192.5 million at June 30, 2017.

Our commercial paper program allows us to borrow at rates generally more favorable than those available under our credit facility. We have used proceeds from the commercial paper program for general corporate purposes. We had no borrowings under the commercial paper program as of June 30, 2017.

On March 27, 2017, we entered into a commitment letter, that provided for a $1.5 billion 364-day bridge term loan and, in certain circumstances, a $1.5 billion revolving credit facility and a $750 million term loan facility in connection with the Transaction Agreement with DuPont. The proceeds would have been used to finance the acquisition associated with the Transaction Agreement as well as to pay fees and expenses and taxes incurred in connection with the acquisition and the other expected transactions contemplated by or related to the acquisition. On May 2, 2017, the financing available under the Commitment Letter was terminated and replaced by a $1.5 billion term loan facility and an amended and restated $1.5 billion revolving credit facility which is discussed in further detail below.

Term Loan Facility

On May 2, 2017, we entered into a term loan agreement (the “Term Loan Agreement”), that provides for a senior unsecured term loan facility of up to $1.5 billion (the “New Term Loan Facility” or "2017 Term Loan Facility") to fund the expected transaction with DuPont. The New Term Loan Facility is a senior unsecured obligation that ranks equally with our other senior unsecured obligations. The proceeds of the loans to be made pursuant to the New Term Loan Facility will be available in one or more drawings on the closing date of the New Term Loan Facility, which will be substantially concurrent with the closing of the expected transaction with DuPont. The scheduled maturity of the New Term Loan Facility is on the fifth anniversary of this closing date. The proceeds will be used to finance the expected transaction as well as to pay fees, expenses and taxes incurred in connection with the expected transaction and the other expected transactions contemplated by or related to the expected transaction with DuPont or the New Term Loan Facility.

The New Term Loan Agreement contains customary financial and other covenants, including a maximum leverage ratio and minimum interest coverage ratio. Fees incurred to secure the New Term Loan Facility have been deferred and will be amortized over the term of the arrangement.

Revolving Credit Facility

On May 2, 2017, we entered into an amended and restated credit agreement (the "Revolving Credit Agreement"). The unsecured Revolving Credit Agreement provides for a $1.5 billion revolving credit facility, with an option, subject to certain conditions and limitations, to increase the aggregate amount of the revolving credit commitments to $2.25 billion (the "Revolving Credit Facility"). The current termination date of the Revolving Credit Facility is May 2, 2022.

Fees incurred to secure the Revolving Credit Facility have been deferred and will be amortized over the term of the arrangement.

Statement of Cash Flows

Cash provided (required) by operating activities of continuing operations was $205.0 million and $160.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

The table below presents the components of net cash provided (required) by operating activities of continuing operations.

(1)	Represents the sum of corporate special charges and depreciation and amortization.

(2)

The change in cash flows related to trade receivables in 2017 was primarily driven by timing of collections. Collection timing is more pronounced in our FMC Agricultural Solutions business where sales, particularly in Brazil, have terms significantly longer than the rest of our businesses. 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, 2017, we collected over $385 million of receivables in Brazil. A significant proportion of the collections in Brazil are coming from those accounts that were past due at the start of the year, improving the quality of the remaining receivable balance. Additionally, the six months ended June 30, 2016 benefited from a one-off early collection in North America which did not repeat.


(3)	Inventory changes and the seasonal nature of the business within the different hemispheres are adjusted accordingly to take into consideration the change in market conditions primarily in FMC Agricultural Solutions.


(4)	The change in cash flows related to accounts payable is primarily driven by the timing of payments made to suppliers and vendors.


(5)	These rebates are associated with our FMC Agricultural Solutions segment in North America and Brazil and generally settle in the fourth quarter of each year. The changes year over year are primarily associated with the mix in sales eligible for rebates and incentives in 2017 compared to 2016 and timing of rebate payments.

(6)

Advanced payments are primarily associated with our FMC Agricultural Solutions business 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 quarter of each year, as shipments are made and title, ownership and risk of loss pass to the customer.


(7)	Changes in all periods presented primarily represent timing of payments associated with all other operating assets and liabilities, including guarantees issued to vendors under our vendor finance program.


(8)	See Note 8 in our consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q for further details.


(9)	Included in the period presented are environmental charges for environmental remediation at our operating sites of $5.6 million and $9.1 million, respectively. The amounts in 2017 will be spent in future years. The amounts represent environmental remediation spending at our operating sites which were recorded against pre-existing reserves, net of recoveries.


(10)	There were $24.0 million in voluntary contributions to our U.S. defined benefit plans in 2017 and $21.0 million in 2016.


(11)	Amounts shown in the chart represent net payments of our continuing operations. Net interest payments of $10.4 million and $9.4 million and tax payments, net of refunds of $7.9 million and $5.9 million were allocated to discontinued operations for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

(12)

2017 activity represents payments for legal and professional fees associated with the previously announced acquisition of certain assets relating to DuPont's Crop Protection business. 2016 activity represents payments for legal and professional fees associated with the Cheminova acquisition. See Note 3 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q for more information.

Cash provided (required) by operating activities of discontinued operations was $55.1 million and $64.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Cash provided (required) by operating activities of discontinued operation is directly related to environmental, other postretirement benefit liabilities, self-insurance, long-term obligations related to legal proceedings and historical restructuring activities. Amounts also include operating activities related to our discontinued FMC Health and Nutrition segment.

Cash provided (required) by investing activities of continuing operations was $(51.2) million and $(45.0) million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

The increase in cash required during the six months ended June 30, 2017, as compared to the same period in 2016 was due to payments related to a license and collaboration agreement to obtain certain technology and intellectual property rights as well as a prepayment to Nemaska under a long term supply agreement for lithium carbonate and expenditures related to the expansion of our lithium hydroxide and de-bottlenecking of our carbonate operations.

Cash provided (required) by investing activities of discontinued operations was $(12.8) million and $(14.7) million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016.

Cash required by investing activities of discontinued operations is directly associated with the capital expenditures of FMC Health and Nutrition.

Cash provided (required) by financing activities was $(149.8) million and $(151.1) million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

The change period over period in financing activities is primarily due to the decreases in short term debt payments and proceeds of long term debt, offset by increases in repayments of long term debt in the six months ended June 30, 2017.

Other potential liquidity needs

On March 31, 2017, we signed a definitive agreement to sell FMC Health and Nutrition as part of a larger Transaction Agreement with DuPont. We expect the sale to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2017, subject to customary regulatory approvals and closing conditions. As part of the Transaction Agreement, we will pay DuPont $1.2 billion in cash (subject to certain adjustments set forth in the Transaction Agreement), which reflects the difference in negotiated value between the divested businesses.

Our cash needs outside of the DuPont crop protection acquisition and related integration expenses for 2017 include operating cash requirements, capital expenditures, scheduled mandatory payments of long-term debt, dividend payments, share repurchases, contributions to our pension plans, environmental and asset retirement obligation spending and restructuring. 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, 2017, our remaining borrowing capacity under our credit facility was $1,364.3 million (which includes borrowings under our commercial paper program).

Projected 2017 capital expenditures as well as expenditures related to contract manufacturers are expected to be higher than 2016 levels.

Projected 2017 spending includes approximately $50 million to $55 million of net environmental remediation spending. This spending does not include expected spending on capital projects relating to environmental control facilities or expected spending for environmental compliance costs, which we will include as a component of costs of sales and services to the condensed consolidated statements of income (loss) since these amounts are not covered by established reserves. Capital spending to expand, maintain or replace equipment at our production facilities may trigger requirements for upgrading our environmental controls, which may increase our spending for environmental controls over the foregoing projections.

In order to reduce future funding volatility in our U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plan, we expect to make voluntary cash contributions of approximately $40 million during 2017. These expected contributions are in excess of the minimum requirements. We contributed $24 million in the second quarter of 2017. We do not believe that these projected contributions will have a significant negative impact on our current and future liquidity needs. However, any volatility of interest rates or negative equity returns may require greater contributions to the U.S. Plan in the future.

For both the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, we paid $44.3 million in dividends declared. On July 20, 2017, we paid dividends totaling $22.2 million to our shareholders of record as of June 30, 2017. This amount is included in “Accrued and other liabilities” on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2017.

Commitments and Contingencies

See Note 17 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q.

Contractual Commitments

Information related to our contractual commitments at December 31, 2016 can be found in a table included within Part II, Item 7 of our 2016 Form 10-K. There have been no significant changes to our contractual commitments during the six months ended June 30, 2017.

Climate Change

A detailed discussion related to climate change can be found in Part II, Item 7 of our 2016 Form 10-K.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

Fair-Value Measurements

See Note 16 to the condensed consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q for additional discussion surrounding our fair value measurements.

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, 2017, our financial instrument position was a net asset of $0.4 million compared to a net liability of $2.5 million at December 31, 2016. The change in the net financial instrument position was primarily due to change in exchange rates.

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 attempt to mitigate our exposure to increasing energy costs by hedging the cost of future deliveries of natural gas and electricity. To analyze the effect of changing energy prices, we have performed a sensitivity analysis in which we assume an instantaneous 10 percent change in energy market prices from their levels at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, with all other variables (including interest rates) held constant.



		Hedged energy exposure vs. Energy market pricing
(in Millions)	Net Asset / (Liability) Position on Consolidated Balance Sheets	10% Increase	10% Decrease
Net asset (liability) position at June 30, 2017	$(0.1)	$0.4	$(0.6)

Net asset (liability) position at December 31, 2016	$2.0	$3.3	$0.8

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

The primary currencies for which we have exchange rate exposure are the U.S. dollar versus the Euro, the U.S. dollar versus the Chinese yuan, the U.S. dollar versus the Brazilian real and the U.S. dollar versus 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, 2017 and December 31, 2016, with all other variables (including interest rates) held constant.



		Hedged Currency vs. Functional Currency
(in Millions)	Net Asset / (Liability) Position on Consolidated Balance Sheets	10% Strengthening	10% Weakening
Net asset (liability) position at June 30, 2017	$0.5	$19.4	$(18.4)

Net asset (liability) position at December 31, 2016	$(4.5)	$31.9	$(39.0)

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, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we had no interest rate swap agreements.

Our debt portfolio, at June 30, 2017, is composed of 68 percent fixed-rate debt and 32 percent variable-rate debt. The variable-rate component of our debt portfolio principally consists of borrowings under our Term Loan Facility, Credit Facility, commercial paper program, variable-rate industrial and pollution control revenue bonds, 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, 2017, a one percentage point increase in interest rates then in effect would have increased gross interest expense by $2.9 million and a one percentage point decrease in interest rates then in effect would have decreased gross interest expense by $2.9 million for the six months of June 30, 2017.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The information required by this item is provided in “Derivative Financial Instruments and Market Risks,” under ITEM 2 - Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. Based on management’s evaluation (with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer), the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of June 30, 2017, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

(b) Change in Internal Controls. There have been no changes in internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2017, that materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors and Shareholders

FMC Corporation:

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of FMC Corporation and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2017, the related condensed consolidated statements of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss), for the three‑month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, and the related condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016. These condensed consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.

We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the condensed consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of FMC Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2016, and the related consolidated statements of income (loss), comprehensive income (loss), changes in equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 28, 2017, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2016, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.
