FMC Corporation has revealed its financial performance for the third quarter of 2025, reporting significant revenue challenges primarily due to actions taken in its India commercial business. This report highlights key metrics and outlines the company’s strategic adjustments in response to these challenges.
FMC Corporation’s Third Quarter 2025 Results
For Q3 2025, FMC Corporation recorded revenues of $542 million. This figure represents a drastic 49% decrease compared to the same quarter in 2024, primarily driven by one-time commercial actions related to its operations in India, which is now being positioned for sale.
- Revenue excluding India stood at $961 million, marking a 10% decrease year-over-year.
- Organic revenue for the quarter fell by 11% due to lower pricing and competitive pressures.
Financial Losses and Adjusted Earnings
The company reported a consolidated GAAP net loss of $569 million for this quarter. This marks a decline of $634 million compared to the prior year, largely attributed to charges associated with the India write-down.
On a diluted share basis, the GAAP net loss was $4.52, a decrease from a profit reported in the same period last year. However, adjusted earnings per diluted share reached $0.89, reflecting a 30% increase from last year’s third quarter.
Operational Insights and Market Challenges
Despite the overall revenue drop, FMC’s adjusted EBITDA increased to $236 million, representing a 17% rise compared to Q3 2024. The growth in adjusted EBITDA was driven by favorable cost of goods sold and an incremental volume increase, offsetting lower pricing pressures which were prevalent in several regions, particularly Latin America and Asia.
Sales in North America rose 4% year-over-year, supported by higher volumes from the growth portfolio. However, sales in Latin America fell by 8%, compounded by generic competition and decreased liquidity among customers in Brazil and Argentina.
Full-Year Financial Outlook Adjustments
FMC Corporation has revised its revenue outlook for 2025 to a range between $3.92 billion and $4.02 billion, anticipating a 7% decrease from last year. Additionally, the adjusted EBITDA outlook has been reduced to between $830 million and $870 million, reflecting a 6% decline.
- Fourth quarter revenue prognosis (excluding India) is estimated at $1.12 billion to $1.22 billion.
- Adjusted earnings per diluted share for Q4 are expected to fall between $1.14 and $1.36, indicating a potential 30% decline.
Strategic Adjustments and Future Focus
In light of these financial results, FMC Corporation is taking decisive steps to optimize its operations. This includes restructuring its manufacturing footprint to lower costs and align with strategic priorities following the intended exit from the India market.
The company has also lowered its quarterly dividend to $0.08 per share to prioritize debt reduction as it navigates these operational challenges.
FMC Corporation remains focused on leveraging its portfolio of innovative active ingredients, which it believes will drive future growth and competitiveness in the global agricultural market.
