PHILADELPHIA, October 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- FMC Corporation (NYSE: FMC - News) today reported net income of $28.0 million, or $0.38 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2009, versus net income of $80.0 million, or $1.05 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2008.

William G. Walter, FMC chairman, president and chief executive officer, said, "Our third quarter results were consistent with our expectations. We realized continued strong performance in our businesses serving end markets less sensitive to the economy. And in our businesses with end markets more sensitive to the economy, though volumes were lower than a year ago, demand in each improved on a sequential basis relative to the second quarter with further improvement expected in the fourth quarter. Agricultural Products' results were driven by strong Latin American performance and lower raw material costs. Specialty Chemicals' earnings growth was the result of outstanding commercial performance in BioPolymer. Industrial Chemicals' results were impacted by lower volumes across its businesses and reduced selling prices in phosphates. As we complete 2009, we are confident that most impacts of the global recession are behind us."

Revenue in Agricultural Products of $268.3 million increased 2 percent versus the prior-year quarter, as sales gains in Brazil, driven by growth in planted acres in key crops, and in non-crop markets were partially offset by lower volumes in North America and Europe. Segment earnings of $59.2 million increased 34 percent versus the year-ago quarter, reflecting the sales growth in Brazil, lower raw material costs and favorable currency comparisons relative to the prior-year quarter.

Revenue in Specialty Chemicals was $191.7 million, down 3 percent versus year ago quarter. Strong commercial performance and the benefit of acquisitions in BioPolymer were more than offset by lower lithium volumes. Segment earnings of $40.9 million were 14 percent higher than the year-ago quarter, driven by revenue gains in BioPolymer partially offset by lower lithium volumes.

Revenue in Industrial Chemicals of $254.4 million declined 29 percent from the prior-year quarter, as lower volumes across the segment and reduced phosphate selling prices more than offset higher selling prices in most product lines. Segment earnings of $20.7 million were 69 percent lower than the year-ago quarter, driven by the lower sales partially offset by lower raw material costs, primarily phosphate rock, and energy costs.

Corporate expense was $10.3 million, down from $12.5 million in the prior-year quarter. Interest expense, net, was $6.2 million, as compared to $7.5 million in the year-ago quarter. On September 30, 2009, gross consolidated debt was $613.6 million, and debt, net of cash, was $553.7 million. For the quarter, depreciation and amortization was $32.3 million and capital expenditures were $35.0 million.

Nine Months Results

Revenue was $2,104.1 million, a decrease of 12 percent as compared with $2,377.6 million in the prior-year period. Net income was $166.4 million, 36 percent lower than $258.3 million in the year-earlier period. Net income in the current period included restructuring and other income and charges of $68.8 million, versus restructuring and other income and charges of $17.4 million in the prior-year period. Excluding these charges, the company earned $235.2 million in the first nine months of 2009, a decrease of 15 percent versus $275.7 million in the first nine months of 2008.

Revenue in Agricultural Products was $782.1 million, a decrease of 4 percent versus the prior-year period, as sales gains in North America were more than offset by lower sales in Latin America, primarily Brazil, and unfavorable currency impacts in Europe and Asia. Segment earnings were $242.2 million, an increase of 15 percent from the first nine months of 2008, as a result of higher selling prices, lower raw material costs, continued global supply chain productivity improvements and lower selling and administrative expenses.

Revenue in Specialty Chemicals was $558.9 million, 3 percent lower than the prior-year period, as strong commercial performance in BioPolymer was more than offset by lower lithium volumes. Segment earnings of $119.5 million increased 2 percent versus the year-earlier period as favorable commercial performance in BioPolymer and the benefits of productivity initiatives and acquisitions were partially offset by lower lithium volumes, temporary plant curtailments taken to reduce inventories and unfavorable currency translation.

Revenue in Industrial Chemicals was $766.6 million, a decrease of 22 percent versus the prior-year period, as lower volumes across the segment more than offset higher selling prices in most businesses. Segment earnings of $57.0 million declined 62 percent versus the year-earlier period, driven by lower volumes, higher raw material costs, particularly phosphate rock, and lower phosphate selling prices.

Corporate expense was $31.9 million, down from $37.4 million in the year-earlier period. Interest expense, net, was $19.7 million, as compared to $24.5 million in the prior-year period. For the period, depreciation and amortization was $93.5 million and capital expenditures were $106.8 million.

Outlook

Regarding the outlook for 2009, Walter said, "For the full year 2009, we have narrowed our outlook for earnings before restructuring and other income and charges to $4.05 to $4.15 per diluted share."

Walter added, "For the fourth quarter of 2009, we expect earnings before restructuring and other income and charges of $0.85 to $0.95 per diluted share. As compared to the prior-year quarter, in Agricultural Products we look for earnings to increase 35 to 40 percent driven by improved market conditions in Brazil, lower raw material costs and further manufacturing productivity improvements. In Specialty Chemicals, we expect earnings to be up approximately 20 percent with continued strong performance in BioPolymer. In Industrial Chemicals, earnings are expected to be down 30 to 40 percent as reduced selling prices in phosphates and modestly lower volumes across the segment more than offset favorable raw material costs."

    (a) On January 1, 2009, FMC adopted new accounting guidance which
        changes the accounting and reporting for minority interests.
        This guidance requires that minority interests be recharacterized as
        noncontrolling interests and that we present a consolidated net income
        that includes the amount attributable to the noncontrolling interests
        for all periods presented.

    * The Company believes that the Non-GAAP financial measure "After-tax
      income from continuing operations, excluding restructuring and other
      income and charges, attributable to FMC stockholders," and its
      presentation on a per share basis, provides useful information about the
      Company's operating results to investors and securities analysts.  The
      Company also believes that excluding the effect of restructuring and
      other income and charges from operating results allows management and
      investors to compare more easily the financial performance of its
      underlying businesses from period to period.

        segment. In 2009, we also recorded inventory adjustments related to
        the third quarter 2008 acquisition in our Specialty Chemicals segment
        and subsequent alginates business restructuring. On the condensed
        consolidated statements of operations these charges are included in

        September 30, 2009 and 2008.

    (d) Tax adjustments for the three months ended September 30, 2009, are
        primarily a result of adjustments related to prior year tax matters.
        Tax adjustments for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, are
        primarily a result of a reduction in our liability for unrecognized
        tax benefits due to settlements of audits and the expiration of
        statute of limitations.  Tax adjustments for the three and nine months
        ended September 30, 2008, are primarily related to adjustments to our
        tax liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits due to favorable
        conclusions to tax audits.

    (a) On January 1, 2009, FMC adopted new accounting guidance which
        changes the accounting and reporting for minority interests.  This
        guidance requires that minority interests be recharacterized as
        noncontrolling interests and classified as a component of equity.
