2022 
ANNUAL REPORT

   
Message to Shareholders 
FMC delivered record business performance in 2022. Annual revenue of 
$5.8 billion increased 15 percent compared to the previous year. Adjusted 
EBITDA* of $1.407 billion was up 7 percent and Adjusted Earnings 
Per Share* of $7.41 increased 8 percent. In December, we raised FMC’s 
dividend, the fifth consecutive annual increase. Since establishing FMC’s 
current dividend policy in December 2018, we have increased dividends 
at a compound annual growth rate of 10 percent.

Resilience and Agility

FMC’s record 2022 performance is a testament to the resilience, resolve and 
agility of our organization. Throughout the year, FMC and the industry 
continued to face unprecedented challenges, including lockdowns in China 
related to COVID, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, increasing energy costs 
and rising inflation.

FMC’s Manufacturing, Procurement, Supply Chain and Logistics teams 
once again demonstrated why they are among the best in the business. 
These cross-functional groups work together to ensure FMC is prepared for 
world or regional events that could affect our business. As complexities and 
challenges evolve, our teams respond with solutions that mitigate potential 
impacts on our ability to safely and efficiently manufacture, transport and 
sell our leading crop protection products.

When necessary, we take difficult but appropriate decisions to address 
complex events. FMC was the first major crop protection company to exit 
the Russian market following the outbreak of war in February 2022. With 
more than 80 employees in Russia prior to the war, as well as a formulation 
plant and a robust business presence, the impact of our departure from the 
Russian market was meaningful. But it was the right decision considering 
overwhelming reports of potential war crimes, human rights abuses and 
other atrocities.

Safety, Sustainability and Diversity

Safety is embedded in every aspect of our company—not just in 
manufacturing, but across the organization, including in offices, research 
sites, field stations and among our commercial teams. It is a core value 
and mindset embraced by every employee. Not a single meeting begins at 
FMC without a “safety share” where employees remind their colleagues 
about staying focused on safe behaviors. In 2022, FMC achieved an annual 
injury rate of 0.0795, slightly higher than the previous year’s record low. 
This injury rate maintains FMC’s position in the top decile of American 
Chemistry Council (ACC) companies for safety, and we’re proud to have 
been named ACC Company of the Year for the fourth time since 2017.

FMC continued to make substantial progress in our sustainability and 
net zero journey. As previously announced, we were one of the first crop 
protection companies to commit to a net zero goal, and among very few 
companies to pursue an aggressive net zero timeline of less than 15 years. 
In 2022 we reduced our Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions at 
FMC operating sites, while at the same time growing our overall production. 
Furthermore, our consistent progress on various ESG metrics was recognized 
by several raters that moved FMC up in their rankings in 2022. Today FMC 
is at or above the industry average ranking across many leading ESG raters.

We made great strides in our Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) programs 
and strategy. Employee engagement is an important aspect of our success in 
DEI. Regional Inclusion Councils, which include workstreams that represent 
our Employee Resource Groups, such as The Bridge (multicultural), i-Gen 
(intergenerational), Women’s Initiative Network, SPECTRUM (LGBTQ+), 
and others, drive awareness, dialog and overall employee experiences 

across our company. We continued to make improvements in both of our 
workforce diversity goals for representation of women globally and Black/
African Americans in our U.S. workforce. In both, we increased the overall 
representation, closing 2022 at 31.7 percent women globally and 10.1 
percent Black/African Americans in our U.S. workforce.

Innovation and Growth Investments

We operate one of the most productive research organizations in the industry. 
Farmers rely on FMC’s fungicides, herbicides and insecticides—including 
our growing portfolio of biological products—to protect their crops from 
diseases, weeds and insects that can negatively impact crop quality and yield. 
Our R&D pipeline features 23 new active ingredients in discovery and 11 
new active ingredients in development. More than 18 of these molecules 
feature new modes of action, which is critical to address a pest’s resistance 
to older technologies. New products launched in 2022 from our pipeline 
contributed approximately $100 million in revenue, while new products 
launched in the last five years contributed revenue of more than $600 
million. In FMC Plant Health, we launched 17 new biological products 
around the world, as well as 2 new micronutrient products.

In addition to innovation from our R&D labs, FMC expanded its biologicals 
portfolio with the acquisition of BioPhero ApS. This Danish-based company 
is a pioneer in biologically produced pheromone technology featuring a 
patented fermentation platform, enabling significantly lower cost production 
of pheromones compared to current industry practices. 

We also continue to assess technology outside of FMC that can support 
or augment our current capabilities. FMC Ventures expanded its portfolio 
in 2022 with strategic investments in start-ups and early-stage companies 
working on new or disruptive technologies. These engagements span several 
important technology segments, including robotics, drone technology, Ag-
FinTech, pathogen detection, soil health, peptides and pheromones. For 
example, FMC increased its investment in Micropep, a start-up developing 
short natural peptide molecules that target and regulate plant genes and 
proteins. In addition, we entered a strategic collaboration with Micropep 
late last year to develop solutions to control herbicide-resistant weeds.

In Precision Agriculture, we are growing our Arc™ farm intelligence 
platform, FMC’s proprietary mobile solution that helps farmers identify and 
manage pest pressure through predictive modeling. Arc™ farm intelligence 
is currently deployed across 20 million acres spanning over 20 countries. 
The platform delivers field-level insights that drive farmer engagement, 
improve return on investment and support the sustainable use of FMC 
products. Furthermore, we have found that farmers who use Arc™ farm 
intelligence tend to buy a broader range of products from FMC.

Our 6,600 employees are committed to supporting farmers around the 
world with sustainable technologies that protect their crops and help feed 
the world’s growing population. We are passionate about our purpose and 
focused on continuing to deliver market-leading performance.

FMC Corporation was incorporated in 1928 under Delaware law and 
has its principal executive offices at 2929 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, 
Pennsylvania 19104. Throughout this annual report on Form 10-K, 
except where otherwise stated or indicated by the context, “FMC”, the 
“Company”, “We,” “Us,” or “Our” means FMC Corporation and its 

consolidated subsidiaries and their predecessors. Copies of the annual, 
quarterly and current reports we file with the Securities and Exchange 
Commission (“SEC”), and any amendments to those reports, are 
available on our website at www.fmc.com as soon as practicable after 
we furnish such materials to the SEC.

ITEM 1  Business

General

FMC Corporation is a global agricultural sciences company dedicated 
to helping growers produce food, feed, fiber and fuel for an expanding 
world population while adapting to a changing environment. FMC’s 
innovative crop protection solutions enable growers, crop advisers and turf 
and pest management professionals to address their toughest challenges 

economically without compromising safety or the environment. FMC 
is committed to discovering new insecticide, herbicide and fungicide 
active ingredients, product formulations and pioneering technologies 
that are consistently better for the planet.

FMC Strategy

We have streamlined our portfolio over the past ten years to become a tier-one 
leader and the fifth largest global innovator in the agricultural chemicals 
market. Our strong competitive position is driven by our technology and 
innovation, as well as our geographic balance and crop diversity, which 
helped FMC to take share in 2020, 2021 and 2022 in our key markets.

Our leading insecticides, herbicides and fungicides, including our 
biological technologies, that farmers rely on to protect their crops 
from disease and pests were produced at five active ingredient plants, 
16 formulation and packaging sites and sold in approximately 
120 countries. Helping farmers grow more food sustainably on less 
arable land requires a continual stream of new products and technologies. 
We are investing in one of the agricultural industry’s most productive 
crop protection pipeline, featuring 23 new active ingredients in discovery 
and 11 new active ingredients in development. More than 18 of these 
molecules feature new modes of action.

We own and operate a total of 21 manufacturing plants, and we have 
the scale to operate with strong resources and global reach to address 
changing market conditions. Our supply chain organization effectively 
managed to continue supplying customers and growing our business, 
despite multiple shutdowns and other disruptions in the chemical 
sector in the last several years.

FMC revenues grew approximately 15 percent, or 18 percent organically(1) 
excluding the impacts of foreign currency, year over year in 2022, 
driven by strong volume growth and pricing gains in North America 
and Latin America. Approximately $600 million in 2022 sales came 

from products launched in the last five years, representing 10 percent of 
the total revenue. In 2022, we had new product launches in Canada of 
Coragen® Max insecticide based on Rynaxypyr® active and in Brazil of 
Boral® Full, our new herbicide mixture product. We had new product 
launches in Argentina and Paraguay of Onsuva® fungicide based on our 
new Fluindapyr active ingredient. Products launched in 2022 accounted 
for approximately $100 million in sales. Our diamides, Rynaxypyr® 
and Cyazypyr® active ingredients, continued to be a significant part 
of our portfolio, representing approximately $2.1 billion in combined 
sales and approximately 36 percent of the total revenue in 2022. We 
also grew our Plant Health program, which includes FMC’s biologicals 
platform, by 8 percent. Plant Health is now over $230 million in sales 
and outpacing market growth.

FMC performed better than the overall crop protection market in 
2022, which we estimate grew in the low-double digit percentage range 
versus 2021. Foreign currency was a headwind to full-year revenue. 
As mentioned above, our revenue growth rate was 15 percent, and 
excluding the impact of foreign currency, our organic(1) growth rate was 
18 percent. FMC’s innovation, from our current portfolio of advanced 
products to our R&D discovery, development and new formulations, 
contributed to our performance. Our technology portfolio includes 
specific innovations in plant health, application technology and delivery 
systems, as well as advanced agronomic insights through Arc™ farm 
intelligence, our precision agriculture platform that leverages artificial 
intelligence and machine learning.

Acquisitions and Divestitures

On June 29, 2022, we announced a definitive agreement to acquire 
BioPhero ApS (“BioPhero”), a Denmark-based pheromone research and 
production company. The acquisition adds state-of-the-art biologically 
produced pheromone insect control technology to our product portfolio 
and R&D pipeline, underscoring our role as a leader in delivering 
innovative and sustainable crop protection solutions. The purchase 
price of approximately $193 million was primarily paid at closing on 
July 19, 2022. The acquisition included all of BioPhero’s technology, 
IP, supply agreements, employees and net assets of the business.

We continued to make investments through FMC Ventures, our venture 
capital arm which we formed in 2020 to target strategic investments in 
start-ups and early-stage companies that are developing and applying 
emerging technologies in the agricultural industry.

In May 2020, FMC entered into a binding offer with Isagro S.p.A 
(“Isagro”) to acquire the remaining rights for Fluindapyr active ingredient 
assets from Isagro. In July 2020, we entered into an asset sale and 

purchase agreement with Isagro. On October 2, 2020, we closed on 
the transaction with a purchase price of approximately $65 million. 
Fluindapyr has been jointly developed by FMC and Isagro under a 2012 
research and development collaboration agreement. The transaction 
provided FMC with full global rights to the Fluindapyr active ingredient, 
including key U.S., European, Asian, and Latin American fungicide 
markets. The transaction transferred to FMC all intellectual property, 
know-how, registrations, product formulations and other global assets 
of the proprietary broad-spectrum fungicide molecule. The acquired 
assets have been classified as in-process research and development. 
See Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements included within 
this Form 10-K for accounting considerations. The transaction has 
expanded our fungicide portfolio by giving us full global rights to the 
Fluindapyr active ingredient and is an important strategic addition to 
our product line. In 2022, we launched Onsuva™ fungicide which is 
based on the Fluindapyr active in Argentina and Paraguay. Onsuva™ 
fungicide targets diseases in soy and peanut crops.

Our portfolio is comprised of three major pesticide categories: insecticides, 
herbicides and fungicides. The majority of our product lines consist 
of insecticides and herbicides, and we have a growing portfolio of 
fungicides mainly used in high value crop segments. Our insecticides are 
used to control a wide spectrum of pests, while our herbicide portfolio 
primarily targets a large variety of difficult-to-control weeds. In addition, 
we are also investing substantially in our Plant Health program which 
includes biologicals, crop nutrition, and seed treatment products. 
Biological technologies developed by FMC’s R&D team in Denmark 
offer excellent sustainability profiles and serve as strong complements 

to our synthetic products. Our biologicals feature attributes that exceed 
the competition, such as high stability, long shelf life, low use rates 
and compatibility with other chemistries.

We have our own sales and marketing organizations and access the 
market through a combination of distributors, retailers and co-ops in 
all four regions. In addition, we sell directly to large growers in select 
countries such as Brazil. Through these and other alliances, along with 
our own targeted marketing efforts, access to novel technologies and our 
innovation initiatives, we expect to maintain and enhance our access 
in key agricultural and non-crop markets and develop new products 
that will help us continue to compete effectively.

Industry Overview

The three principal categories of agricultural and non-crop chemicals 
are: insecticides, herbicides, and fungicides, representing approximately 
40 percent, 29 percent and 28 percent of global industry revenue, 
respectively.

The agrochemicals industry is more consolidated following several mergers 
of the leading crop protection companies, which now include FMC, 
ChemChina (owner of Syngenta Group, which includes the former 

Syngenta and Adama), Bayer AG (acquired Monsanto in 2018), BASF 
AG and Corteva Agriscience. These five innovation companies currently 
represent approximately 71 percent of the crop protection industry’s 
global sales. The next group of agrochemical producers include UPL 
Ltd., Sumitomo Chemical Company Ltd., and Nufarm Ltd. FMC 
employs various differentiated strategies and competes with unique 
technologies focusing on certain crops, markets and geographies, while 
also being supported by a low-cost manufacturing model.

Growth

We are among the leading agrochemical producers in the world. Several 
products from our portfolio are based on patent-protected active ingredients 
and continue to grow well above market patterns. Our complementary 
technologies combine improved formulation capabilities and a broader 
innovation pipeline, resulting in new and differentiated products. We 
continue to take advantage of enhanced market access positions and 
an expanded portfolio to deliver near-term growth.

We continue to grow by obtaining new and approved uses for existing 
product lines and acquiring, accessing, developing, marketing, distributing 
and/or selling complementary chemistries, biologicals, and related 
technologies in order to strengthen our product portfolio and our 
capabilities to effectively service our target markets and customers.

Our growth efforts focus on developing environmentally compatible 
and sustainable solutions that can effectively increase farmers’ yields 
and provide alternatives to products which may be prone to resistance. 
We are committed to providing unique, differentiated products to our 
customers by acquiring and further developing technologies as well as 
investing in innovation to extend product life cycles. Our external growth 
efforts include product acquisitions, in-licensing of chemistries and 
technologies and alliances that bolster our market access, complement 
our existing product portfolio or provide entry into adjacent spaces. 
We have entered into a range of development and distribution agreements 
with other companies that provide access to new technologies and 
products which we can subsequently commercialize.

Diamide Growth Strategy

Our product portfolio features two key diamide-class molecules – 
Rynaxypyr® (chlorantraniliprole) and Cyazypyr® (cyantraniliprole) 
actives – with combined annual revenues of approximately $2.1 billion in 
2022. These two molecules are industry-leading in terms of performance, 
combining highly effective low dose rates with fast-acting, systemic, long 
residual control. These attributes quickly established Rynaxypyr® active as 
the world’s leading insect control technology and we expect it to continue 
a strong growth trajectory notwithstanding the expiration of composition 
of matter patents covering Rynaxypyr® active in certain countries which 
started in late 2022. Our Cyazypyr® active, a second-generation diamide, 
is growing quickly as we obtain more product registrations. We expect 
Cyazypyr® active to continue to grow strongly notwithstanding the 
expiration of its active ingredient composition of matter patents starting 
in the mid-2020s. This expectation is based not only on our broad 
patent estate and the timing of key patent milestones, but also on other 
critical elements that will allow FMC to continue to profitably grow 
the diamide franchise well beyond the expiration of key patents. Some 
of the critical elements supporting diamide growth include registration 
and data protection, commercial strategies, brand recognition, as well 
as manufacturing and supply chain complexity and FMC efficiencies.

Patents and Trade Secrets

The FMC diamide insect control patent estate is made up of many 
different patent families which cover: Composition of matter – both 
active ingredients and certain intermediates; Manufacturing processes – 
both active ingredients and certain intermediates; Formulations; Uses; 
and Applications. For Rynaxypyr® and Cyazypyr® actives related patents, 
as of December 31, 2022, we had 33 families with granted patents filed 
in up to 76 countries, with a total of 727 active granted patents as well

In FMC Precision Agriculture, we are broadening our award-winning 
Arc™ farm intelligence platform, a proprietary mobile solution that 
helps farmers better understand and manage pest pressure through 
predictive modeling based on real-time and historical data, entomological 
models, hyper-local weather information and in-field sensors. Arc™ farm 
intelligence, which is now available in over 20 countries across 20 million 
acres, allows growers to address pest pressure more efficiently, manage 
infestations before they escalate and target applications in a more 
sustainable manner.

Our venture capital arm, FMC Ventures, continued to build its portfolio 
in 2022 with new collaborations and strategic investments in start-ups 
and early stage companies working on new or disruptive technologies. 
These engagements, which support or augment our internal capabilities, 
span several important technology segments, including robotics, drone 
technology, Ag-FinTech, pathogen detection, soil health, peptides 
and pheromones. In 2022, FMC Ventures increased its investment 
in Micropep, a startup developing short natural peptide molecules 
that target and regulate plant genes and proteins. The venture capital 
arm also agreed to an investment in Traive, an Ag-FinTech startup 
addressing working capital needs of growers in Brazil. FMC Ventures 
continues to scout for and invest in game changing innovations that 
shape the future of crop protection.

and Licenses” within this Item 1 for more details. FMC’s process 
patents cover the manufacturing processes for both active ingredients – 
chlorantraniliprole and cyantraniliprole – as well as key intermediates 
that are used to make the final products. Chlorantraniliprole is a 
complex molecule to produce, requiring 16 separate steps; FMC owns 
granted patents covering many of these 16 process steps and several 
of the intermediate chemicals, and we protect other aspects of the 
manufacturing processes by trade secret. Cyantraniliprole is similarly 
complex and covered by a comparable range of intellectual property. 
Many of these intermediate process patents run well past the expiration 
of the composition of matter patents, and in some cases stretch until 
the end of this decade. Third parties that intend to manufacture and 
sell generic chlorantraniliprole or cyantraniliprole and rely on FMC’s 
extensive product safety data will be required to demonstrate that 
their product has an equivalent regulatory safety profile as FMC’s 
Rynaxypyr® and Cyazypyr® actives. To meet regulatory requirements for 
such difficult-to-manufacture molecules, we believe that third parties 
will have to produce these active ingredients using the same processes 
that are patented by FMC and if so, would be infringing before patent 
expiration and subject to our challenge for infringement. FMC also 
owns formulation patents which cover the use of chlorantraniliprole 
or cyantraniliprole in specific formulations found in commercially 
important end-use products.

Regulatory Data Protection

In addition to the patent estate, various pesticide laws and regulations 
around the world offer added protection to the initial active ingredient 
registrant in the form of data protection that can extend after the 
composition or process patents have expired. These rules can effectively 
provide a product innovator and initial active ingredient registrant such

as FMC with a further period of exclusive use of the key reference data 
even after the applicable active ingredient composition of matter patents 
have expired. Further, in certain countries, even after the period of 
exclusive use has expired, a generic entrant seeking to rely on the initial 
registrant’s reference data may have to pay significant compensation to 
the initial registrant. For FMC’s diamide products, such rights apply 
in key markets including United States and the European Union.

first of these products, under the trademarks Elevest®, Vantacor®, and 
Altacor® eVo, were launched in the US and other countries, including 
Canada and Australia, starting in late 2020 through 2022 and will be 
launched in additional countries in 2023 onward. Our current diamide 
pipeline contains approximately 20 new products to be launched this 
decade and we continue to explore further innovations based on the 
diamide chemistry.

Growing the FMC Diamide Franchise

Complexity of manufacturing

FMC is executing a strategy to supply end-use products containing 
Rynaxypyr® and Cyazypyr® actives to a broad range of companies prior 
to patent expiration, and in return establishing long-term purchase 
commitments from these companies. These arrangements may also 
include limited patent, data and/or trademark licenses. Such partner 
relationships allow us to grow our business by having others develop 
and sell diamide-based products to meet farmers’ needs not within 
our current portfolio, offering those farmers a better alternative to 
competing insecticides with product safety or efficacy profiles which are 
less attractive than Rynaxypyr® or Cyazypyr® actives. These agreements 
can require the third-party to use the well-known and trusted Rynaxypyr® 
or Cyazypyr® brand names on the end-use products formulated with 
active ingredient supplied by FMC. As of December 31, 2022, we 
had global agreements with five major multinational companies 
and approximately 50 separate local-country agreements covering 
over 15 countries. We are continuing to explore opportunities with 
additional companies beyond those with whom we are already engaged. 
Furthermore, FMC is developing an extensive portfolio of new diamide-
containing products to address grower needs around the world. The 

Source and Availability of Raw Materials

Today FMC manufactures all the required intermediates in the multi-step 
processes, as well as the final Rynaxypyr® and Cyazypyr® actives, at our 
own active ingredient manufacturing plants or through key contract 
manufacturers who produce under long-term exclusive technology-license 
agreements. A third-party replicating this complex supply chain and 
manufacturing network would be a major undertaking with very large 
capital requirements. In addition, given our manufacturing know-how, 
scale of our operations, and continual investment in manufacturing 
process improvement, we believe FMC’s manufacturing costs will 
be substantially lower than any other party seeking to produce these 
diamide products in compliance with all applicable laws.

Collectively, these four factors – deep patent estate, proprietary regulatory 
data, strong commercial approach leveraging our brand recognition, 
and capabilities of managing large scale manufacturing complexity – 
provide us the basis for our expectation that FMC will be the company 
of choice to supply chlorantraniliprole and cyantraniliprole products 
to third-party partners, and ultimately to farmers, well into the future.

We utilize numerous vendors to supply raw materials and intermediate chemicals to support operations. These materials are sourced on a global 
basis to strategically balance FMC’s vendor portfolio.

Patents, Trademarks and Licenses

As an agricultural sciences company, FMC believes in innovation and 
in protecting that innovation through intellectual property rights. 
We own and license a significant number of U.S. and foreign patents, 
trademarks, trade secrets and other intellectual property that are 
cumulatively important to our business. In addition, we seek to 
license our proprietary technologies through partnering arrangements 
that effectively allow us to capitalize from our intellectual property. 
The FMC intellectual property estate provides us with a significant 
competitive advantage which we seek to expand and renew on a 
continual basis. We manage our technology investment to discover 
and develop new active ingredients and biological products, as well as 
to continue to improve manufacturing processes and existing active 
ingredients through new formulations, mixtures or other concepts. 
FMC’s technology innovation processes capture those innovations 
and protect them through the most appropriate form of intellectual 
property rights. We also in-license certain active ingredients and other 
technologies under patents held by third parties, and have granted 
licenses to certain of our patents to third parties.

Our patents cover many aspects of our business, including our 
chemical and biological active ingredients, intermediate chemicals, 
manufacturing processes to produce such active ingredients or 
intermediates, formulations, and product uses, as well as many aspects 
of our research and development activities that support the FMC new 
product pipeline. Patents are granted by individual jurisdictions and 
the duration of our patents depends on their respective jurisdictions 
and payment of annuities.

As of December 31, 2022, the Company owned a total of approximately 
200 active granted U.S. patents and 2,600 active granted foreign patents 
(includes Supplemental Patent Certificates); we also have approximately 
2,100 patent applications pending globally.

We also own many trademarks that are well recognized by customers 
or product end-users. Unlike patents, ownership rights in trademarks 
can be continued indefinitely so long as the trademarks are properly 
used and renewal fees are paid.

We actively monitor and manage our patents and trademarks to maintain 
our rights in these assets and we strategically take aggressive action 
when we believe our intellectual property rights are being infringed. 
During 2022, we initiated proceedings to enforce several of our patents 
and trademarks against generic producers and infringers, resulting in 
multiple favorable judgments and settlements, including in India and 
China. In early 2022, we received notice that certain third parties are 
seeking to invalidate our Chinese patents on a certain intermediate 
involved in producing chlorantraniliprole and a process to produce 
chlorantraniliprole; we intend to defend vigorously the validity of both 
patents. During the third quarter of 2022, the China Patent Review 
Board issued rulings which held that the two challenged patents 
were not valid in China. We believe the Review Board’s decisions are 
seriously flawed both on procedural and substantive ground and we 
have filed appeals. Under Chinese law, the patents remain valid but 
are not enforceable pending appeal. Given the unique and specific 
Chinese patent laws and legal procedures at issue in that situation, we 
do not believe that the China Patent Review Board’s decisions would 
materially impact our enforcement of similar patents in other countries. 
Patent challenges in response to enforcement efforts is expected as 
an ordinary defense tactic in patent enforcement cases, and have 

been raised in several of our enforcement cases to date; we intend to 
defend vigorously any diamide patents that are challenged. While we 
believe that the invalidity or loss of any particular patent, trademark 
or license after appeal would be an unlikely possibility, our patent and 
trademark estate related to our diamide insect control products based 
on Rynaxypyr® and Cyazypyr® active ingredients in the aggregate are 
of material importance to our operations.

The composition of matter patent that covers chlorantraniliprole 
(also known as Rynaxypyr® active) expired in a number of countries 
in August 2022; this patent will continue to remain in force in other 
countries throughout the world, expiring on a country-by-country 
basis at various dates through 2027. We are deploying a multi-pronged 
strategy to defend that business after active ingredient patent expiration, 
including enforcement of our patents in many countries which continue 
to cover chemical intermediates and manufacturing processes that 
are essential in the production of chlorantraniliprole. Patents involve 
complex factual and legal issues and thus each case is being litigated 
on the merits; we often seek preliminary injunctive relief to stop sales 
of products which we believe to be infringing – since equitable relief 
at the early stage of a litigation is subject to a higher standard of proof 
than decisions made after a trial on the merits, we may have difficulty 
prevailing in all cases at that preliminary stage. However, even in 
situations in which we are not able to prevail on interim relief, we intend 
to continue litigating in such cases and seek permanent injunctive relief 
and recovery of damages after a full trial.

Seasonality

The seasonal nature of the crop protection market and the geographic 
spread of our business can result in significant variations in quarterly 
earnings among geographic locations. Our products sold in the northern 
hemisphere (North America, Europe and parts of Asia) serve seasonal 
agricultural markets from March through September, generally resulting 

in significant earnings in the first and second quarters, and to a lesser 
extent in the fourth quarter. Markets in the southern hemisphere (Latin 
America and parts of the Asia Pacific region, including Australia) are 
served from July through February, generally resulting in earnings in 
the third, fourth and first quarters.

from generic agrochemical producers is significant as a number of 
key product patents have expired in the last two decades. In general, 
we compete as an innovator by focusing on product development, 
including novel formulations, proprietary mixes, and advanced delivery 
systems and by acquiring or licensing (mostly) proprietary chemistries 
or technologies that complement our product and geographic focus. 
We also differentiate ourselves by our global cost-competitiveness 
through our manufacturing strategies, establishing effective product 
stewardship programs and developing strategic alliances that strengthen 
market access in key countries and regions.

Competition

We encounter substantial competition in our business. We market 
our products through our own sales organization and through alliance 
partners, independent distributors and sales representatives. The number 
of our principal competitors varies from market to market. In general, 
we compete by providing advanced technology, high product quality, 
reliability, quality customer and technical service, and by operating in 
a cost-efficient manner.

Our business competes primarily in the global crop protection market 
for insecticides, herbicides and fungicides. Industry products include 
crop protection chemicals and biologicals, for certain major competitors, 
genetically engineered (crop biotechnology) products. Competition 

Research and Development Expense

The R&D efforts in our business focus on discovering and developing 
environmentally sound solutions — both new active ingredients 
and new product formulations — that meet the needs of farmers to 
maximize yields and control pests. On June 24, 2019, we announced 

our investment of more than $50 million at our FMC Stine Research 
Center in Newark, Delaware, to upgrade infrastructure. We anticipate 
that the investment in this project will continue in 2023 with expected 
completion in 2024.

of Operations” and in Note 12 “Environmental Obligations” in the notes to our consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-K.

Human Capital

Employees

We employ approximately 6,600 people with about 1,600 people in 
our domestic operations and 5,000 people in our foreign operations.

Approximately 3 percent of our U.S.-based and 37 percent of our 
foreign-based employees, respectively, are represented by collective 
bargaining agreements. We have successfully concluded our recent 

contract negotiations without any material work stoppages. We cannot 
predict, however, the outcome of future contract negotiations. In 2023, 
5 foreign collective-bargaining agreements will be expiring. These 
contracts affect approximately 21 percent of our foreign-based employees. 
There are no U.S. collective-bargaining agreements expiring in 2023.

Talent Engagement and Retention

At FMC, it is important that we focus our programs and initiatives on 
sustaining strong leaders who are committed to engaging and developing 
employees, so they can lead competitively, innovate change, improve 
business performance, and successfully maintain a competitive advantage. 
FMC provides leadership development through structured leadership 
programs worldwide. FMC’s program components include in-class and 
self-paced learning, development planning and stretch assignments, 
project-based action learning and rotational learning, mentoring and 
coaching, and leadership and functional assessments. Our programs 
are designed to provide engaging, collaborative, and creative learning 
environments. Employees leverage their experiences in these programs 
to develop leadership abilities to their highest levels, enabling them 
to deliver innovative solutions, strong results and continued growth.

FMC creates an environment where we promote our values, embrace 
diversity, and build an inclusive culture. We achieve this through a 

variety of programs and initiatives such as quarterly Town Hall meetings, 
employee engagement surveys, focus groups, learning opportunities, and 
philanthropic initiatives, and we continue to enable Employee Resource 
Groups (“ERGs”) to help foster an inclusive workplace for employees.

FMC continually strives to meet the needs of our employees, shareholders, 
and customers through competitive rewards, policies, and practices that 
support the company as an employer of choice in every market where 
we compete for talent. FMC compensates employees through total 
reward programs that are aligned with performance and competencies. 
Performance-based direct pay programs include competitive base 
pay, annual bonus opportunities, sales incentive plans, and long-term 
incentives. These compensation elements along with benefits, work-life 
flexibility, recognition awards, talent and career development, enable 
FMC to offer a comprehensive total reward package designed for 
employees throughout their career.

Culture and Inclusion

Diversity Equity & Inclusion (“DEI”) is central to our growth strategy, 
and we continue to make FMC more diverse, equitable and inclusive for 
all employees and stakeholders. In 2022, we realigned our global DEI 
program to ensure we are prioritizing objectives related to workforce 
diversity, equitable processes, and inclusive culture. We made good 
progress toward our representation goals related to women globally 
and Black/African Americans in our U.S. workforce. We increased the 
overall percent representation and net additions of women and Black/
African Americans, closing 2022 with positive results across all regions 
and at various levels of the organization.

In addition to an intentional focus on the goals throughout our hiring 
processes, our progress was driven by strategic investments and community 
partnerships. For example, in our Brazil manufacturing organization, we 
took steps to build a pipeline of female candidates for our Uberaba plant 
by developing strong partnerships with local educational institutions and 
peers, which included providing education and professional training as 
well as apprenticeship programs for women. These investments resulted 
in a strong pool of female candidates prepared for job opportunities in 
manufacturing operations. We were able to hire more women through 
these efforts at our Uberaba plant, increasing the percentage of female 
employees to 42 percent in the Brazil manufacturing organization. 
We also increased the percentage of women in our commercial sales 
organization in many countries across North America, Latin America, 
Europe, and Asia Pacific. A good portion of this growth can also be 
attributed to strategic investments and community partnerships. Notably, 
we launched our first student symposium for research and development 

(“Advancing Diversity in Science”), hosting students at our global R&D 
center in Newark, Delaware, from the University of Delaware and 
local historically black colleges and universities (“HBCUs”) including 
Delaware State University and University of Maryland Eastern Shore. 
The special event helped students learn about FMC, engage with FMC 
employees in STEM careers, showcase their own research and explore 
the possibilities of careers in STEM at FMC.

We balanced our recruiting and hiring efforts with initiatives to 
increase retention. FMC implemented a formal retention program 
and the Retention & Belonging Office aimed at supporting current 
employees as they navigate their career journeys (e.g., career coaching 
program). Throughout the implementation and ongoing promotion of 
the program, we have been intentional about reaching underrepresented 
groups, ensuring they take full advantage of and achieve the benefits 
from our retention programs. In addition, we better equipped managers 
and employees on talent management and development methodologies 
with enhanced processes and tools that can help guide and navigate 
careers of our diverse talent across the company. Our network of 
Regional Inclusion Councils and ERGs remain critical to driving strong 
employee engagement, providing learning/awareness initiatives, and 
building greater allyship and advocacy for our employees across various 
dimensions of diversity. As we look ahead, our focus is on expanding 
efforts to build more diverse candidate pools, driving greater retention 
of diverse employees and strengthening our culture of inclusion and 
belonging with the understanding that diverse views, backgrounds, 
and experiences will always be key to our success.

Safety

Safety is a core value of FMC. At FMC, people come first. We strive for 
an injury-free workplace, where every person returns home the same way 
they arrived. We encourage a culture of open reporting, to learn from 
our mistakes and work towards continuous improvement in behaviors 
and processes. As a result of our firm commitment to safety, our Total 
Recordable Incident Rate (“TRIR”) of 0.0795 continues to be among the 
lowest in the industry globally and in the top decile of peer companies 
in North America, placing our company among the safest organizations 
in the chemical industry. This level of performance underscores our 

collective commitment to work safely every day. We empower our people 
to always put safety first. 2022 continued to challenge us with issues 
related to the COVID pandemic, as well as the war in Ukraine and 
continued growth of our business. FMC responded by collaborating 
across functions to ensure safe operation at all of our sites. In 2023, we 
continue our journey, focusing on improving management systems and 
tools. In addition, we continue to engage our global workforce through 
focused campaigns which address issues and trends identified through 
analysis of our environment, health and safety data.

Sustainability

We are committed to delivering products that maintain a safe and 
secure food supply and to do so in a way that protects the environment 
for future generations. To reflect this commitment, we established 
sustainability goals to challenge ourselves and ensure that we are 
helping to create a better world. We recognize that sustainability goes 
beyond reducing emissions, it also encompasses how we utilize scarce 
resources, such as water, and the importance of nature, including 
biodiversity. FMC is aligned with the UN Sustainable Development 
Goals (“SDGs”) #2 (Zero Hunger), #8 (Decent Work and Economic 
Growth), #13 (Climate Action) and #15 (Life on Land). Our goals 
include achieving (i) 100 percent research and development spend on 
developing sustainable products by 2025, (ii) <0.1 TRIR by 2025, 
(iii) net-zero Greenhouse Gas (“GHG”) emissions across the value 
chain (Scopes 1, 2, and 3) by 2035, (iv) 100% waste to beneficial 
reuse by 2035, (v) 100% implementation of sustainable water practices 
by 2035, and (vii) a 100 on the Community Engagement Index by 

2025. In 2022, FMC continued to make progress towards meeting its 
commitments on the updated goals and progress will be reported in our 
annual sustainability report. FMC is committed to the Science Based 
Target initiative (“SBTi”), Net-Zero Standard, in line with keeping 
the global temperature at 1.5°C above pre-industrial time. In 2022, 
FMC submitted our near-term and long-term targets to SBTi. FMC 
has committed to expected near-term targets of a 42% reduction in 
Scopes 1 and 2, and 25% reduction in Scope 3 by 2030. The long-term 
expected target is to achieve net-zero across the value chain by 2035.

FMC developed and utilizes its award-winning Sustainability Assessment 
Tool to determine the sustainability of new active ingredients and 
formulated products in the research and development pipeline. This 
assessment, along with other stewardship processes and tools, ensures 
the introduction and use of environmentally sustainable agricultural 
solutions.

ITEM 1A Risk Factors

Among the factors that could have an impact on our ability to achieve operating results and meet our other goals are:

Industry Risks

Pricing and volumes in our markets are sensitive to a number of industry 
specific and global issues and events including:
	• Competition and new agricultural technologies - Our business faces 
competition, which could affect our ability to maintain or raise prices, 
successfully enter certain markets or retain our market position. 
Competition for our business includes not only generic suppliers of 
the same pesticidal active ingredients but also alternative proprietary 
pesticide chemistries and crop protection technologies that are bred 
into or applied onto seeds. Increased generic presence in agricultural 
chemical markets has been driven by the number of significant product 
patents and product data protections that have expired in the last 
decade, and this trend is expected to continue. Also, there are changing 
competitive dynamics in the agrochemical industry as some of our 
competitors have consolidated, resulting in them having greater scale 
and diversity, as well as market reach. These competitive differences 
may not be overcome and may erode our business. Agriculture in 
many countries is changing and new technologies (e.g., precision pest 
prediction or application, data management) continue to emerge. At 
this time, the scope and potential impact of these technologies are 
largely unknown but could have the potential to disrupt our business.
	• Climatic conditions - Our markets are affected by climatic conditions, 
both chronic and acute, which could adversely impact crop pricing 
and pest infestations. For example, drought may reduce the need 
for fungicides, which could result in fewer sales and greater unsold 
inventories in the market, whereas excessive rain could lead to increased 

plant disease or weed growth requiring growers to purchase and use 
more pesticides. Drought and/or increased temperatures may change 
insect pest pressures, requiring growers to use more, less, or different 
insecticides. Natural disasters can impact production at our facilities 
in various parts of the world. The nature of these events makes them 
difficult to predict.
	• Geographic cyclicality - While our business is well balanced 
geographically, in any given calendar quarter a certain geography(ies) 
will predominate in light of seasonal variations in the demand for 
our products given the nature of the crop protection market and the 
geographic regions in which we operate. Unexpected market conditions 
in any such predominating geography(ies), such as adverse weather, 
pest pressures, or other risks described herein, may impact our business 
if occurring during a calendar quarter in which such geography(ies) 
is predominating.
	• Changing regulatory environment and public perception - Changes 
in the regulatory environment, particularly in the U.S., Brazil, China, 
India, Argentina and the European Union, could adversely impact 
our ability to continue producing and/or selling certain products in 
our domestic and foreign markets or could increase the cost of doing 
so. We are sensitive to regulatory risk given the need to obtain and 
maintain pesticide registrations in every country in which we sell 
our products. Moreover, we are required to comply with protocols or 
applicable regulatory requirements of biological products. Protocols 
and regulations may change, or regulatory agencies may determine 

9

FMC CORPORATION - Form 10-KPART I  
ITEM 1A Risk Factors

that a biological product is not approvable. There is a risk that future 
regulatory requirements may lead to delays in development of biologicals 
or limit growth from biologicals. Many countries require re-registration 
of pesticides to meet new and more challenging requirements; while 
we defend our products vigorously, these re-registration processes 
may result in significant additional data costs, reduced number of 
permitted product uses, or potential product cancellation. Compliance 
with changing laws and regulations may involve significant costs or 
capital expenditures or require changes in business practice that could 
result in reduced profitability. In the European Union, the regulatory 
risk specifically includes the chemicals regulation known as REACH 
(Registration, Evaluation, and Authorization of Chemicals), which 
requires manufacturers to verify through a special registration system 
that their chemicals can be marketed safely. Changes to the regulatory 
environment may be influenced by non-government public pressure as 
a result of negative perception regarding the use of our crop protection 
products. Products reviewed by regulators and labeled safe for use 
may still be challenged by others which could lead to negative public 
perception or regulatory action. Competing products labeled safe 
for use were subject to lawsuits or claims, and a similar situation for 
our products could result in negative impacts. In addition, climate 
change may result in changes to the governmental policy around 
greenhouse gases, including emission caps, trade regulations and other 
mechanisms to promote reduction of carbon emissions. Depending 
on their nature and scope, this could subject our manufacturing 
operations and suppliers to significant additional costs or limits on 
operations and affect the sources and supply of energy.
	• Geographic presence outside of U.S. - We have a strong presence 
in Latin America, Europe and Asia, as well as in the U.S. We have 
continued to grow our geographic footprint particularly in Europe 
and key Asian countries such as India, which means that developments 
outside the U.S. will generally have a more significant effect on our 
operations than in the past. Our operations outside the U.S. are subject 
to special risks and restrictions, including: fluctuations in currency 
values; exchange control regulations; changes in local political or 
economic conditions; governmental pricing directives; import and 
trade restrictions or tariffs; import or export licensing requirements 
and trade policy; restrictions on the ability to repatriate funds; and 
other potentially detrimental domestic and foreign governmental 
practices or policies affecting U.S. companies doing business abroad.
	• Climate change and land use impacts - Climate change may impact 
markets in which we sell our products, where, for example, a prolonged 
drought may result in decreased demand for our products. The more 
gradual effects of persistent temperature change in geographies with 
significant agricultural lands may result in changes in lands suitable 
for agriculture or changes in the mix of crops suitable for cultivation 
and the pests that may be present in such geographies. These shifts in 

Operational Risks

pests may become more rapid and persistent with rising temperatures 
and increasing GHG levels. For example, prolonged increase in average 
temperature may make northern lands suitable for growing crops 
not grown historically in such climes, leading growers to shift from 
crops such as wheat to soybean and may result in new or different 
weed, plant disease or insect pressures on such crops – such changes 
would impact the mix of pesticide products growers would purchase, 
which may be adverse for us, depending on the local market and our 
product mix. Growers may need more climate-adaptive products 
as climate change impacts global crop yields and shifts harvestable 
regions and pest pressures.
	• Fluctuations in commodity prices - Our operating results could be 
significantly affected by the cost of commodities such as chemical 
raw material commodities, energy commodities, and harvested 
crop commodities. We may not be able to raise prices or improve 
productivity sufficiently to offset future increases in chemical raw 
material or energy commodity pricing. Accordingly, increases in such 
commodity prices may negatively affect our financial results. We use 
hedging strategies to address energy and material commodity price 
risks, where hedging strategies are available on reasonable terms. 
However, we are unable to avoid the risk of medium- and long-term 
increases. Additionally, fluctuations in harvested crop commodity 
prices could negatively impact our customers’ ability to sell their 
products at previously forecasted prices resulting in reduced customer 
liquidity. Inadequate customer liquidity could affect our customers’ 
abilities to pay for our products and, therefore, affect existing and 
future sales or our ability to collect on customer receivables.
	• Supply arrangements - Certain raw materials are critical to our 
production processes and our purchasing strategy and supply chain 
design are complex. We are closely monitoring raw material and 
supply chain costs. While we have made supply arrangements to meet 
planned operating requirements, an inability to obtain the critical 
raw materials or operate under contract manufacturing arrangements 
would adversely impact our ability to produce certain products 
and could lead to operational disruption and increase uncertainties 
around business performance. We source critical intermediates and 
finished products from a number of suppliers, largely outside of 
the U.S. and principally in China. An inability to obtain these 
products or execute under contract sourcing arrangements would 
adversely impact our ability to sell products. Our supply chain and 
business operations could be disrupted from the temporary closure 
of third-party supplier and manufacturer facilities, interruptions 
in product supply or restrictions on the export or shipment of our 
products. Any disruption of our suppliers and contract manufacturers 
could impact our sales and operating results. We have seen some 
logistics challenges, pointed supply chain shortages, and increased 
cost of goods due to the energy crisis and inflation.

	• Global catastrophic events - A global catastrophic event (e.g., nuclear 
incident, pandemic, natural disaster) could endanger the lives and safety 
of our employees, limit market access, constrain supply and would 
require high levels of cross-functional coordination to maintain business 
continuity. If not properly managed, FMC could suffer substantial 
financial losses should the event negatively impact our operations or 
those of our customers. Global catastrophic events could also result in 
social, economic, and labor instability in the countries in which we or 
our customers and suppliers operate. These uncertainties could have 

a material adverse effect on our business and our results of operation 
and financial condition. A widespread health crisis could adversely 
affect the global economy, resulting in an economic downturn that 
could impact demand for our products. The COVID-19 pandemic 
caused significant disruptions in the U.S. and global economies. The 
extent to which COVID will continue to impact us will depend on 
future developments, many of which remain uncertain and cannot be 
predicted with confidence, including the duration of the pandemic, 
further actions to be taken to contain the pandemic or mitigate its 

10

FMC CORPORATION - Form 10-Kimpact, and the extent of the direct and indirect economic effects of 
the pandemic and containment measures, among others.
	• Business disruptions - We produce products through a combination 
of owned facilities and contract manufacturers. We own and 
operate large-scale active ingredient manufacturing facilities in the 
U.S. (Mobile), Puerto Rico (Manati), China (Jinshan), Denmark 
(Ronland), and India (Panoli). Our operating results are dependent 
in part on the continued operation of these production facilities. 
Interruptions at these facilities may materially reduce the productivity 
of a particular manufacturing facility, or the profitability of our 
business as a whole. Although we take precautions to enhance the 
safety of our operations and minimize the risk of disruptions, our 
operations and those of our contract manufacturers are subject to 
hazards inherent in chemical manufacturing and the related storage and 
transportation of raw materials, products and wastes. These potential 
hazards include explosions, fires, severe weather and natural disasters, 
mechanical failure, unscheduled downtimes, supplier disruptions, 
labor shortages or other labor difficulties, information technology 
systems outages, disruption in our supply chain or manufacturing 
and distribution operations, transportation interruptions, chemical 
spills, discharges or releases of toxic or hazardous substances or gases, 
shipment of contaminated or off-specification product to customers, 
storage tank leaks, other environmental risks, cyberattacks, or other 
sudden disruption in business operations beyond our control as a 
result of events such as acts of sabotage, terrorism or war, civil or 
political unrest, natural disasters, large scale power outages and public 
health epidemics/pandemics. Some of these hazards may cause severe 
damage to or destruction of property and equipment or personal 
injury and loss of life and may result in suspension of operations or 
the shutdown of affected facilities.

PART I  
ITEM 1A Risk Factors

	• Climate change and physical risk to operation sites - The acute and 
chronic effects of climate change such as rising sea levels, drought, 
flooding, hurricanes, excessive heat and general volatility in seasonal 
temperatures could adversely affect our operations globally. Extreme 
weather events attributable to climate change may result in, among 
other things, physical damage to our property and equipment, increased 
resource scarcity, including water, and interruptions to our supply chain.
	• Litigation and environmental risks - Current reserves relating to 
our ongoing litigation and environmental liabilities may ultimately 
prove to be inadequate. Products reviewed by regulators and labeled 
safe for use may still be challenged by others which could result in 
lawsuits or claims.
	• Hazardous materials - We manufacture and transport certain materials 
that are inherently hazardous due to their toxic or volatile nature. While 
we take precautions to handle and transport these materials in a safe 
manner, if they are mishandled or released into the environment, they 
could cause property damage or result in personal injury claims against us.
	• Environmental compliance - We are subject to extensive federal, state, 
local, and foreign environmental and safety laws, regulations, directives, 
rules and ordinances concerning, among other things, emissions in 
the air, discharges to land and water, and the generation, handling, 
treatment, disposal and remediation of hazardous waste and other 
materials. We may face liability arising out of the normal course of 
business, including alleged personal injury or property damage due 
to exposure to chemicals or other hazardous substances at our current 
or former facilities or chemicals that we manufacture, handle or own. 
We take our environmental responsibilities very seriously, but there 
is a risk of environmental impact inherent in our manufacturing 
operations and transportation of chemicals. Any substantial liability 
for environmental damage could have a material adverse effect on our 
financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Technology Risks

	• Technological and new product discovery/development - Our ability 
to compete successfully depends in part upon our ability to maintain a 
superior technological capability and to continue to identify, develop 
and commercialize new and innovative, high value-added products for 
existing and future customers. Our investment in the discovery and 
development of new pesticidal active ingredients relies on discovery of 
new chemical molecules or biological strains. Such discovery processes 
depend on our scientists being able to find new molecules and strains, 
which are novel and outside of patents held by others, and such 

molecules/strains being efficacious against target pests, and our ability 
to develop those molecules and strains into new products without 
creating an undue risk to human health and the environment, and 
then meeting applicable regulatory criteria. The timeline from active 
ingredient discovery through full development and product launch 
averages 8-10 years depending on local regulatory requirements; the 
complexity and duration of developing new products create risks that 
product concepts may fail during development or, when launched, 
may not meet then-current market needs or competitive conditions.

Portfolio Management Risks

	• Portfolio management risks - We continuously review our portfolio 
which includes the evaluation of potential business acquisitions that 
may strategically fit our business and strategic growth initiatives. If 
we are unable to successfully integrate and develop our acquired 
businesses, we could fail to achieve anticipated synergies which 
would include expected cost savings and revenue growth. Failure to 
achieve these anticipated synergies could materially and adversely 
affect our financial results. In addition to strategic acquisitions we 
evaluate the diversity of our portfolio in light of our objectives and 
alignment with our growth strategy. In implementing this strategy we 
may not be successful in separating underperforming or non-strategic 

assets. The gains or losses on the divestiture of, or lost operating 
income from, such assets (e.g., divesting) may affect the Company’s 
earnings. Moreover, we may incur asset impairment charges related 
to acquisitions or divestitures that reduce earnings.
	• Innovation and intellectual property - Our innovation efforts are 
protected by patents, trade secrets and other intellectual property 
rights that cover many of our current products, manufacturing 
processes, and product uses, as well as many aspects of our research 
and development activities supporting our new product pipeline. 
Trademarks protect valuable brands associated with our products. 
Patents and trademarks are granted by individual jurisdictions and 

11

FMC CORPORATION - Form 10-KPART I  
ITEM 1A Risk Factors

the duration of our patents depends on their respective jurisdictions 
and payment of annuities. Our future performance will depend on 
our ability to address active ingredient composition of matter patent 
expirations through effective enforcement of our patents that continue 
to cover key chemical intermediates and process patents, as well 
as portfolio life cycle management, particularly for our high value 
diamide insecticides (see “Diamide Growth Strategy” and “Patents, 
Trademarks and Licenses” in Item 1 for more details). If our innovation 
efforts fail to continue to make process improvements to reduce costs, 
such conditions could impede our competitive position. Some of 
our competitors may secure patents on production methods or uses 
of products that may limit our ability to compete cost-effectively.
	• Enforcement of intellectual property rights - The composition of 
matter patents on our Rynaxypyr® active ingredient are expiring in 
several key countries. We have a broad estate of additional patents 
regarding the production of Rynaxypyr® active ingredient, as well as 
trademark and data exclusivity protection in certain countries that 
extend well beyond the active ingredient composition of matter 
patents. (See “Diamide Growth Strategy” and “Patents, Trademarks 
and Licenses” in Item 1). We intend to strategically and vigorously 
enforce our patents and other forms of intellectual property and 
have done so already against several third parties. Other third parties 
may seek to enter markets with infringing products or may find 
alternative production methods that avoid infringement or we may 
not be successful in litigating to enforce our patents due to the risks 
inherent in any litigation. Patents involve complex factual and legal 
issues and, thus, the scope, validity or enforceability of any patent 
claims we have or may obtain cannot be clearly predicted. Patents 
may be challenged in the courts, as well as in various administrative 
proceedings before U.S. or foreign patent offices, and may be deemed 
unenforceable, invalidated or circumvented. We are currently and may 
in the future be a party to various lawsuits or administrative proceedings 

Financial Risks

	• Foreign exchange rate risks - We are an international company operating 
in many countries around the world, and thus face foreign exchange 
rate risks in the normal course of our business. We are particularly 
sensitive to the Brazilian real, Chinese yuan, Indian rupee, Euro, 
Mexican peso and Argentine peso. While we engage in hedging and 
other strategies to mitigate those risks, unexpected severe changes in 
foreign exchange may create risks that could materially and adversely 
affect our expected performance.
	• Uncertain tax rates - Our future effective tax rates may be materially 
impacted by numerous items such as: a future change in the composition 
of earnings from foreign and domestic tax jurisdictions, as earnings 
in foreign jurisdictions are typically taxed at different statutory rates 
than the U.S. 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; currency gains and losses; and decisions to repatriate certain 
future foreign earnings on which U.S. or foreign withholding taxes 
have not been previously accrued.
	• Uncertain recoverability of investments in long-lived assets - We have 
significant investments in long-lived assets and continually review the 
carrying value of these assets for recoverability in light of changing 

12

involving our patents. (See “Patents, Trademarks and Licenses” in 
Item 1). Such challenges can result in some or all of the claims of 
the asserted patent being invalidated or deemed unenforceable. Two 
such proceedings in China are currently on appeal. (See “Patents, 
Trademarks and Licenses” in Item 1). In such circumstances, an 
adverse patent enforcement decision which could lead to the entry 
of competing chlorantraniliprole products in relevant markets may 
materially and adversely impact our financial results.
	• ERP change governance - In the fourth quarter of 2020, we completed 
the go-live on a single global instance of SAP S/4 HANA. There 
are change management activities that may affect our ability to 
operationalize and monetize the investment made in the Enterprise 
Resource Planning (“ERP”) system. Unmanaged or poorly managed 
system and hardware changes across the enterprise may disrupt 
operations, introduce vulnerabilities, and result in increased 
maintenance while decreasing user acceptance and adoption.
	• Potential tax implications of FMC Lithium separation - We have 
received an opinion from outside counsel to the effect that the spin-off 
of FMC Lithium as a distribution to our stockholders, completed in 
March 2019, qualified as a non-taxable transaction for U.S. federal 
income tax purposes. The opinion is based on certain assumptions 
and representations as to factual matters from both FMC and FMC 
Lithium, as well as certain covenants by those parties. The opinion 
cannot be relied upon if any of the assumptions, representations or 
covenants is incorrect, incomplete or inaccurate or is violated in any 
material respect. The opinion of counsel is not binding upon the IRS 
or the courts and there is no assurance that the IRS or a court will 
not take a contrary position. It is possible that the IRS or a state or 
local taxing authority could take the position that aforementioned 
transaction results in the recognition of significant taxable gain by 
FMC, in which case FMC may be subject to material tax liabilities.

market conditions and alternative product sourcing opportunities. 
We may recognize future impairments of long-lived assets which 
could adversely affect our results of operations.
	• Pension and postretirement plans - Our U.S. Qualified Plan has 
been fully funded for the last several years and as such, the primary 
investment strategy is a liability hedging approach with an objective of 
maintaining the funded status of the plan such that the funded status 
volatility is minimized and the likelihood that we will be required to 
make significant contributions to the plan is limited. The portfolio 
is comprised of 100 percent fixed income securities and cash. Our 
plan assets and obligation under our U.S. Qualified Plan is in excess 
of $1 billion. Additionally, obligations related to our pension and 
postretirement plans reflect certain assumptions. To the extent actual 
experience differs from these assumptions, our costs and funding 
obligations could increase or decrease significantly. While we provide 
other defined benefit, defined contribution and postretirement benefits 
to our employees and retirees, our risk is focused on our U.S. Qualified 
Plan given its size to our consolidated financial position.

FMC CORPORATION - Form 10-KGeneral Risk Factors

	• Market access risk - Our results may be affected by changes in 
distribution channels, which could impact our ability to access the 
market. Consolidation of the value chain may limit FMC’s access in 
certain markets. Acquisition of retailers and wholesalers, particularly 
by competitors, could restrict FMC’s distribution footprint. Failure 
to adapt to similar trends in Business to Business and Business to 
Consumer could place FMC at a competitive disadvantage.
	• Compliance with laws and regulations - The global regulatory 
environment is becoming increasingly complex and requires more 
resources to effectively manage, which may increase the potential for 
misunderstanding or misapplication of regulatory standards.
	• Talent engagement and ethics/culture - The inability to recruit and 
retain key personnel, the unexpected loss of key personnel, or other 
external and internal factors and events could culminate in employee 
attrition and may adversely affect our operations. In addition, our 
future success depends in part on our ability to identify and develop 
talent to succeed senior management and other key members of the 
organization. We operate in markets where business ethics and local 
customs may differ from our company standards, increasing the risk 
of impropriety and regulatory enforcement. Significant effort will 
likely be required to ensure that the right mix of resources are trained, 
engaged and focused on achieving business objectives while adhering 
to our core values of safety, ethics and compliance.
	• Economic and geopolitical change - Our business has been and could 
continue to be adversely affected by economic and political changes 
in the markets where we compete including: trade restrictions, tariff 
increases or potential new tariffs, foreign ownership restrictions and 
economic embargoes imposed by the U.S. or any of the foreign 
countries in which we do business; changes in laws, taxation, and 
regulations and the interpretation and application of these laws, 
taxes, and regulations; restrictions imposed by the U.S. government 
or foreign governments through exchange controls or taxation policy; 
nationalization or expropriation of property, undeveloped property 
rights, and legal systems or political instability; other governmental 
actions; inflation rates and inflationary pressures leading to higher 
input costs, recessions; and other external factors over which we have 
no control. Continued inflationary pressures may negatively impact 
our revenue, gross and operating margins, and net income. For 
additional details, refer to the “Inflation” section of our Management’s 
Discussion and Analysis in Item 7. Economic and political conditions 
within the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions or strained relations between 
countries could result in fluctuations in demand, price volatility, loss 
of property, state sponsored cyberattacks, supply disruptions, or other 
disruptions. An open conflict or war across any region significant to 
our business could result in plant closures, employee displacement, 
and an inability to obtain key supplies and materials. In mid-April 
2022, we announced the decision to discontinue our operations 
and business in Russia. Our values as a company did not allow us 
to operate and grow our business in Russia. The current military 
conflict between Russia and Ukraine could disrupt or otherwise 
adversely impact our operations in Ukraine; and related sanctions, 
export controls or other actions that may be initiated by nations 
including the U.S., the European Union or Russia (e.g., potential 
cyberattacks, disruption of energy flows, etc.) could adversely affect 
our business and/or our supply chain, business partners or customers 
in other countries beyond Ukraine. In Argentina, continued inflation 
and foreign exchange controls could adversely affect our business. 

PART I  
ITEM 1A Risk Factors

Realignment of change in regional economic arrangements could 
have an operational impact on our businesses. Our enforcement of 
intellectual property rights in jurisdictions outside of the United States 
may be impacted by geopolitical tensions between the United States 
and those other countries. In China, unpredictable enforcement of 
environmental regulations could result in unanticipated shutdowns 
in broad geographic areas, impacting our contract manufacturers 
and raw material suppliers.
	• Information technology security and data privacy risks - As with 
all enterprise information systems, our information technology 
systems and systems operated by our vendors and third parties could 
be penetrated by outside parties’ intent on observing or gathering 
information, extracting information, corrupting information, deploying 
ransomware, or disrupting business processes. Remote and other work 
arrangements may leave the Company more vulnerable to a cyberattack. 
Our systems have in the past been, and likely will in the future be, 
subject to unauthorized access attempts. Implementing system updates 
or security patches in an untimely manner could leave our company 
exposed to security breaches. Unauthorized access to our networks or 
systems could disrupt our business operations and potentially result in 
failures or interruptions in our information systems, lockouts due to 
ransomware, or in the loss of assets and could have a material adverse 
effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. We 
engage in response planning, simulations, trainings, tabletop exercises, 
and other efforts to mitigate risks associated with cybersecurity. Breaches 
of our security measures or the accidental loss, inadvertent disclosure, 
or unapproved dissemination of proprietary, sensitive, or confidential 
information about the Company, our employees, our vendors, or our 
customers, could result in litigation, violations of various data privacy 
regulations in some jurisdictions, and potentially result in a liability. 
We have not experienced a significant or material impact from these 
events to date and we may need to expend significant resources to 
maintain or continue to mature our protective and preventative 
measures to stay abreast of the ever-changing cybersecurity threat. 
We maintain a multifaceted cybersecurity program designed to 
identify, protect, detect, respond, and recover from a cybersecurity 
event and recently completed an independent NIST Cybersecurity 
Framework assessment which concluded we maintain a robust and 
mature cybersecurity program. Additionally, we continually engage 
in response planning, simulations, trainings, tabletop exercises, and 
other efforts to mitigate risk and prepare for a rapid response to any 
cybersecurity events. While we have taken measures to assess the 
requirements of, and to comply with the rapidly growing cybersecurity 
and data privacy regulations in multiple jurisdictions, these measures 
may be challenged by authorities that regulate cybersecurity and 
data-related compliance. We could incur significant expense in 
facilitating and responding to investigations and if the measures we 
have taken prove to be inadequate, we could face fines or penalties. 
This could damage our reputation, or otherwise harm our business, 
financial condition, or results of operations.
	• Access to debt and capital markets - We rely on cash generated from 
operations and external financing to fund our growth and working 
capital needs. Limitations on access to external financing could adversely 
affect our operating results. Moreover, interest payments, dividends 
and the expansion of our business or other business opportunities 
may require significant amounts of capital. We believe that our cash 
from operations and available borrowings under our revolving credit 
facility will be sufficient to meet these needs in the foreseeable future. 

13

FMC CORPORATION - Form 10-KPART I  
ITEM 1A Risk Factors

However, if we need external financing, our access to credit markets 
and pricing of our capital will be dependent upon maintaining 
sufficient credit ratings from credit rating agencies and the state of 
the capital markets generally. There can be no assurances that we 
would be able to obtain equity or debt financing on terms we deem 
acceptable, and it is possible that the cost of any financings could 
increase significantly, thereby increasing our expenses and decreasing 
our net income. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow or 
raise adequate external financing, including as a result of significant 
disruptions in the global credit markets, we could be forced to restrict 
our operations and growth opportunities, which could adversely 
affect our operating results.
	• Credit default risks - We may use our existing revolving credit facility 
to meet our cash needs, to the extent available. In the event of a 
default in this credit facility or any of our senior notes, we could be 
required to immediately repay all outstanding borrowings and make 
cash deposits as collateral for all obligations the facility supports, 
which we may not be able to do. Any default under any of our credit 

arrangements could cause a default under many of our other credit 
agreements and debt instruments. Without waivers from lenders party 
to those agreements, any such default could have a material adverse 
effect on our ability to continue to operate.
	• Exposure to global economic conditions - Deterioration in the global 
economy and worldwide credit and foreign exchange markets could 
adversely affect our business. A worsening of global or regional 
economic conditions or financial markets could adversely affect 
both our own and our customers’ ability to meet the terms of sale 
or our suppliers’ ability to perform all their commitments to us. A 
slowdown in economic growth in our international markets, or a 
deterioration of credit or foreign exchange markets could adversely 
affect customers, suppliers and our overall business there. Customers 
in weakened economies may be unable to purchase our products, 
or it could become more expensive for them to purchase imported 
products in their local currency, or sell their commodities at prevailing 
international prices, and we may be unable to collect receivables 
from such customers.

ITEM 3  Legal Proceedings

Like hundreds of other industrial companies, we have been named as 
one of many defendants in asbestos-related personal injury litigation. 
Most of these cases allege personal injury or death resulting from 
exposure to asbestos in premises of FMC or to asbestos-containing 
components installed in machinery or equipment manufactured or 
sold by discontinued operations. The machinery and equipment 
businesses we owned or operated did not fabricate the asbestos-
containing component parts at issue in the litigation, and to this day, 
neither the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration nor 
the Environmental Protection Agency has banned the use of these 
components. Further, the asbestos-containing parts for this machinery 
and equipment were accessible only at the time of infrequent repair 
and maintenance. A few jurisdictions have permitted claims to proceed 
against equipment manufacturers relating to insulation installed by 
other companies on such machinery and equipment. We believe that, 
overall, the claims against FMC are without merit.

As of December 31, 2022, there were approximately 10,561 premises and 
product asbestos claims pending against FMC in several jurisdictions. 
Since the 1980s, approximately 120,000 asbestos claims against FMC 
have been discharged, the overwhelming majority of which have been 
dismissed without any payment to the claimant. Since the 1980s, 
settlements with claimants have totaled approximately $182 million.

We intend to continue managing these asbestos-related cases in accordance 
with our historical experience. We have established a reserve for this 
litigation within our discontinued operations and believe that any 
exposure of a loss in excess of the established reserve cannot be reasonably 
estimated. Our experience has been that the overall trends in asbestos 
litigation have changed over time. Over the last several years, we have 
seen changes in the jurisdictions where claims against FMC are being 
filed and changes in the mix of products named in the various claims. 
Because these claim trends have yet to form a predictable pattern, we 
are presently unable to reasonably estimate our asbestos liability with 
respect to claims that may be filed in the future.

Please see Note 1 “Principal Accounting Policies and Related Financial 
Information” - Environmental obligations, Note 12 “Environmental 
Obligations” and Note 20 “Guarantees, Commitments and

ITEM 7  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of 

Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Overview

FMC Corporation is a global agricultural sciences company dedicated 
to helping growers produce food, feed, fiber and fuel for an expanding 
world population while adapting to a changing environment. We operate 
in a single distinct business segment. We develop, market and sell 
all three major classes of crop protection chemicals (insecticides, 
herbicides and fungicides) as well as biologicals, crop nutrition, and seed 
treatment products, which we group as plant health. FMC’s innovative 

crop protection solutions enable growers, crop advisers and turf and 
pest management professionals to address their toughest challenges 
economically without compromising safety or the environment. FMC 
is committed to discovering new insecticide, herbicide, and fungicide 
active ingredients, product formulations and pioneering technologies 
that are consistently better for the planet. 

Forward-Looking Information

Statement under the Safe Harbor Provisions of the Private Securities 
Litigation Reform Act of 1995: FMC and its representatives 
may from time to time make written or oral statements that are 
“forward-looking” and provide other than historical information, 
including statements contained herein, in FMC’s other filings with 
the SEC, and in reports or letters to FMC stockholders.

In some cases, FMC has identified forward-looking statements by such 
words or phrases as “will likely result,” “is confident that,” “expect,” 
“expects,” “should,” “could,” “may,” “will continue to,” “believe,” 
“believes,” “anticipates,” “predicts,” “forecasts,” “estimates,” “projects,” 
“potential,” “intends” or similar expressions identifying “forward-looking 
statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation 
Reform Act of 1995, including the negative of those words and 
phrases. Such forward-looking statements are based on management’s 
current views and assumptions regarding future events, future business 
conditions and the outlook for the company based on currently 
available information. These statements involve known and unknown 
risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results to be 
materially different from any results, levels of activity, performance or 
achievements expressed or implied by any forward-looking statement. 

With respect to forward-looking statements made in connection 
with our acquisition of BioPhero ApS, such factors include that 
(1) BioPhero is still in its early stages of development or growth and it 
may be affected by risks inherent in operating a business of its nature., 
and (2) that the products and technologies of BioPhero have not yet 
been implemented at large commercial scale, and thus our statements 
regarding the future, including potential revenue opportunities, are 
subject to uncertainties related to development, registration, production 
and commercialization of pheromones through use of the BioPhero 
production technology. Additional factors include, among other things, 
the risk factors and other cautionary statements filed with the SEC 
included within this Form 10-K as well as other SEC filings and public 
communications. FMC cautions readers not to place undue reliance on 
any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date 
made. Forward-looking statements are qualified in their entirety by 
the above cautionary statement. FMC undertakes no obligation, and 
specifically disclaims any duty, to update or revise any forward-looking 
statements to reflect events or circumstances arising after the date on 
which they were made, except as otherwise required by law.

ITEM 7 Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Russia’s Invasion of Ukraine

In mid-April of 2022, we announced the decision to discontinue 
our operations and business in Russia. Our values as a company 
did not allow us to operate and grow our business in Russia. We 
recorded exit charges of approximately $76.8 million for the year ended 

December 31, 2022. See Note 9 for more information. We are closely 
monitoring any potential impacts on our raw material and supply chain 
costs arising out of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Inflation

Current global inflationary pressures have affected our business, primarily 
due to higher than normal input costs, primarily raw materials, resulting 
in pressure on our operating margins. Costs impacted by inflation 
include labor and overhead costs, costs of certain raw materials, freight 
and logistics costs, tolling services, and equipment costs. We have 

partially mitigated inflation headwinds through pricing actions, cost 
saving initiatives, and alternate sourcing options. Costs overall are 
anticipated to remain a headwind throughout 2023; however, we are 
seeing deceleration of input cost inflation. We believe input costs could 
become a tailwind in the second half of 2023. 

COVID-19 Pandemic

As an agricultural sciences company, we are considered an “essential” 
industry in the countries in which we operate; we have avoided 
significant plant closures and all our manufacturing facilities and 
distribution warehouses remain operational and properly staffed. 
Our research laboratories and greenhouses also have continued to 
operate throughout the pandemic. Although we have averted any 
material disruptions throughout the pandemic, we are aware of the 
potential for disruptions or constraints on the availability of critical 

materials. The extent to which COVID will continue to impact us 
will depend on future developments, many of which remain uncertain 
and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the duration of 
the pandemic, further actions to be taken to contain the pandemic or 
mitigate its impact, and the extent of the direct and indirect economic 
effects of the pandemic and containment measures, among others. We 
will continue to monitor the economic environment related to the 
pandemic on an ongoing basis and assess the impacts on our business.

2022 Highlights

The following are the more significant developments in our businesses 
during the year ended December 31, 2022:
	• Revenue of $5,802.3 million in 2022 increased $757.1 million or 
approximately 15 percent versus last year. A more detailed review of 
revenues is included under the section entitled “Results of Operations”. 
On a regional basis, sales in North America increased 29 percent, 
driven by strong volume growth and price increases, sales in Latin 
America increased by 28 percent driven by strong volume growth 
and price increases, sales in Europe, Middle East and Africa remained 
flat with strong volume growth and price increases entirely offset by 
unfavorable currency headwinds, and sales in Asia decreased 1 percent, 
with growth from launches and pricing actions more than offset by 
unfavorable currency headwinds and a decrease in volume due to 
weather challenges. Approximately $600 million in revenues came 
from products launched in the last five years, of which $100 million 
in sales came from products launched in 2022. Additionally, diamides 
grew in the mid-to-high single digit range for the year.
	• Our gross margin of $2,326.8 million increased $165.5 million or 
approximately 8 percent versus last year. The increase in gross margin was 
primarily driven by top line revenue growth which was partially offset 
by higher costs due to rising input costs from inflationary pressures, 
as well as foreign currency headwinds. Gross margin as a percent of 
revenue of 40 percent decreased from 43 percent in the prior year 
period, due to higher input costs and unfavorable currency headwinds.

	• Selling, general and administrative expenses increased from 
$714.1 million to $775.2 million, or approximately 9 percent. 
Spending increased globally as a result of our revenue growth, inflation 
from labor costs and third party spend, and market access expansion. 
	• Research and development expenses of $314.2 million increased 
$9.5 million or 3 percent. The increase in research and development 
expenditures is related to continued investment in our new active 
ingredient pipeline as well as inflation and labor cost increases.
	• Net income (loss) attributable to FMC stockholders of $736.5 million 
decreased $3.1 million from $739.6 million in the prior year period. 
The higher revenue and gross profit discussed above were partially 
offset by higher selling, general and administrative expenses and the 
provision for income taxes. The provision for income taxes was higher 
by $52.7 million, primarily due to the geographic mix of earnings 
among our global subsidiaries as well as changes in various tax reserves. 
Additionally, interest expense, net increased $20.7 million compared 
to the prior year due to higher outstanding debt balances and the 
rising interest rates. Adjusted after-tax earnings from continuing 
operations attributable to FMC stockholders of $938.4 million 
increased $51.7 million or approximately 6 percent. See the disclosure 
of our adjusted earnings Non-GAAP financial measurement under 
the section titled “Results of Operations”.

Other 2022 Highlights

On June 29, 2022, we announced a definitive agreement to acquire 
BioPhero ApS (“BioPhero”), a Denmark-based pheromone research and 
production company. The acquisition adds state-of-the-art biologically 
produced pheromone insect control technology to our product portfolio 
and R&D pipeline, underscoring our role as a leader in delivering 
innovative and sustainable crop protection solutions. We expect 
pheromones and pheromone-based products to contribute approximately 
$1 billion in revenue at above company-average EBITDA margin by 

2030. The purchase price of approximately $193 million was primarily 
paid at closing on July 19, 2022. See Note 5 for additional information.

During the third quarter of 2022, we made certain accounting policy 
changes for inventory costing and net periodic pension plan cost. The effects 
of these changes in accounting principle have been retrospectively applied 
to all periods presented and as such certain prior period amounts have 
been adjusted. Impacts to our Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) 
were not material. See Note 1 for further information.

2023 Outlook

We expect 2023 revenue will be in the range of approximately 
$6.08 billion to $6.22 billion, up approximately 6 percent at the 
midpoint versus 2022. New launches and market access initiatives 
are expected to help drive volume growth with mid-single digit 
pricing expected for the full year. Foreign currency is expected to be a 
moderate headwind to topline results. We expect adjusted EBITDA(1) 
of $1.48 billion to $1.56 billion, up 8 percent at the midpoint versus 
2022 results. Price is anticipated to be the primary driver of EBITDA 
growth in the year with cost headwinds expected to be significantly 

lower than those experienced last year. Increases in the input cost 
portion of cost headwinds are anticipated to decelerate as the year 
progresses and become a year-over-year tailwind in the second half. 
2023 adjusted earnings are expected to be in the range of $7.20 to 
$8.00 per diluted share(1), up approximately 3 percent at the midpoint 
versus 2022, negatively impacted by higher interest and tax rates. The 
estimate for adjusted earnings excludes any impact from potential share 
repurchases in 2023. For cash flow outlook, refer to the liquidity and 
capital resources section below.

(1)  Although we provide forecasts for adjusted earnings per share and adjusted EBITDA (Non-GAAP financial measures), we are not able to forecast the most directly 
comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Certain elements of the composition of the U.S. GAAP amounts are not predictable, 
making it impractical for us to forecast. Such elements include, but are not limited to, restructuring, acquisition charges, and discontinued operations. As a result, 
no U.S. GAAP outlook is provided.

Results of Operations — 2022, 2021 and 2020 

Overview

The following charts provide a reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA, 
adjusted earnings and organic revenue growth, all of which are 
Non-GAAP financial measures, from the most directly comparable 
GAAP measure. Adjusted EBITDA and organic revenue are provided 
to assist the readers of our financial statements with useful information 
regarding our operating results. Our operating results are presented 
based on how we assess operating performance and internally report 
financial information. For management purposes, we report operating 
performance based on earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation 
and amortization, discontinued operations, and corporate special 
charges. Our adjusted earnings measure excludes corporate special 
charges, net of income taxes, discontinued operations attributable 
to FMC stockholders, net of income taxes, and certain Non-GAAP 
tax adjustments. These are excluded by us in the measure we use to 

evaluate business performance and determine certain performance-based 
compensation. These items are discussed in detail within the “Other 
Results of Operations” section that follows. Organic revenue growth 
excludes the impacts of foreign currency changes, which we believe is 
a meaningful metric to evaluate our revenue changes. In addition to 
providing useful information about our operating results to investors, 
we also believe that excluding the effect of corporate special charges, 
net of income taxes, and certain Non-GAAP tax adjustments from 
operating results and discontinued operations allows management 
and investors to compare more easily the financial performance of our 
underlying business from period to period. These measures should not 
be considered as substitutes for net income (loss) or other measures 
of performance or liquidity reported in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

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 continue to include the service cost and amortization of prior service cost in our operating results noted above. These elements reflect the current year operating 
costs to our business for the employment benefits provided to active employees.

2022 vs. 2021
Revenue of $5,802.3 million increased $757.1 million, or approximately 15 percent versus the prior year period. The increase was driven by higher 
volumes, which accounted for an approximate 11 percent increase, as well as favorable pricing which accounted for an approximate 7 percent 
increase. Volume growth was primarily driven by Latin America and North America. Foreign currency tailwinds had an unfavorable impact of 
approximately 3 percent on revenue. Excluding foreign currency impacts, revenue increased approximately 18 percent.

2021 vs. 2020
Revenue of $5,045.2 million increased $403.1 million, or approximately 9 percent versus the prior year period. The increase was driven by higher 
volumes, which accounted for an approximate 7 percent increase, as well as favorable pricing which accounted for an approximate 1 percent 
increase. Growth in volumes was broad-based across synthetic and biological portfolios, with North America, Latin America and Asia delivering 
strong results. Foreign currency tailwinds had a favorable impact of approximately 1 percent on revenue. Excluding foreign currency impacts, 
revenue increased approximately 8 percent.

Asia
TOTAL REVENUE

2022 vs. 2021
North America: Revenue increased approximately 29 percent in 
the year ended December 31, 2022, driven by strong volumes and 
pricing actions. In the US, growth was driven by sales of herbicides, 
insecticides, and fungicides. In Canada our results were driven by low 
channel inventory of insecticides, strength in selective herbicides, and 
the successful launch of Coragen® MaX insecticide. 

Latin America: Revenue increased approximately 28 percent, or 
approximately 25 percent excluding foreign currency tailwinds, for 
the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to the prior year period, 
driven by strong volumes and price increases. Growth in the region was 
primarily driven by Brazil and Argentina. Double digit gains across all 
segments were driven by commodity price and acreage increases. Our 
investments in market access also contributed to growth in the region.

EMEA: Revenue remained flat versus the prior year period; however, 
revenue increased approximately 12 percent excluding foreign currency 
headwinds. The lack of growth from prior year was largely impacted 
by foreign currency headwinds as well as weather in Southern Europe 
and the absence of Russian sales. Results were driven by strong pricing 
actions as well as volume growth, led by Northern Europe, Germany, 
and Turkey, demand for selective herbicides on cereals and other crops, 
and demand for our diamides on fruits and vegetables.

Asia: Revenue decreased approximately 1 percent versus the prior year 
period, however revenue increased approximately 5 percent excluding 
foreign currency headwinds. The change in revenue from prior year 
was primarily impacted by foreign currency headwinds, a reduction 
in rice acres in India, and weather conditions, particularly in India 
and Pakistan. These impacts were partially offset by price actions and 
strong performance in Australia.

For 2023, full-year revenue is expected to be in the range of approximately 
$6.08 billion to $6.22 billion, which represents an increase of 
approximately 6 percent at the midpoint versus 2022. 

2021 vs. 2020 
North America: Revenue increased approximately 8 percent in the 
year ended December 31, 2021, driven by sales growth for herbicides 
and diamides, and strong product launches of Xyway™ fungicide and 
Vantacor™ insect control. The increase was partially offset by a shift of 
diamide partner sales from North America to other regions.

Latin America: Revenue increased approximately 12 percent, or 
approximately 14 percent excluding foreign currency headwinds, for 
the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to the prior year period 
due to strong volume growth across all countries and pricing actions. 
Growth was broad-based across segments with insecticides, fungicides 
and biologicals increasing double digits.

EMEA: Revenue decreased approximately 1 percent versus the prior 
year period, or approximately 4 percent excluding foreign currency 
tailwinds, driven by a shift of diamide partner sales from EMEA to 
other regions. Volume and price contributed to the region’s revenue 
driven by diamides, herbicides, biologicals and fungicides.

Asia: Revenue increased approximately 13 percent versus the prior 
year period, or approximately 10 percent excluding foreign currency 
tailwinds, primarily driven by growth in Australia, India, ASEAN zone 
and Korea. We had strong sales for our new Overwatch® herbicide and 
Vantacor™ insect control. Sales of our diamides were robust across the 
region despite erratic rainfall in several countries. 

Gross margin

2022 vs. 2021
Gross margin of $2,326.8 million increased by $165.5 million, or 
approximately 8 percent versus the prior year period. The increase was 
primarily due to top line revenue growth which was partially offset by 
higher costs due to rising input costs from inflationary pressures and 
foreign currency headwinds. 

Gross margin percent of approximately 40 percent decreased from 
43 percent in the prior year period, driven by significant cost headwinds, 
primarily due to input cost inflation, and foreign currency headwinds.

2021 vs. 2020
Gross margin of $2,161.3 million increased by $114.6 million, or 
approximately 6 percent versus the prior year period. The increase was 
primarily due to higher revenues driven by increased volumes, partially 
offset by higher cost of goods sold.

Gross margin percent of approximately 43 percent slightly decreased 
from approximately 44 percent in the prior year period, driven by higher 
costs primarily increases in raw materials, packaging, and logistics.

Selling, general and administrative expenses

Research and development expenses

2022 vs. 2021
Selling, general and administrative expenses of $775.2 million increased 
by $61.1 million, or approximately 9 percent versus the prior year 
period. Spending increased globally to support our revenue growth. 
Additionally, spending was driven by inflation from labor costs and 
third party spend, as well as market access expansion.

2022 vs. 2021
Research and development expenses of $314.2 million increased by 
$9.5 million, or approximately 3 percent versus the prior year period. 
The increase in research and development expenditures is related to 
continued investment in our new active ingredient pipeline as well as 
inflation and labor cost increases.

2021 vs. 2020
Selling, general and administrative expenses of $714.1 million decreased 
by $15.6 million, or approximately 2 percent versus the prior year period 
due to lower transaction-related charges resulting from the finalization 
of our worldwide ERP system in the first quarter 2021. Selling, general 
and administrative expenses, excluding transaction-related charges, 
increased $37.3 million, or approximately 6 percent, versus the prior 
year driven by resuming normal spending following cost-saving measures 
taken in the prior year due to the pandemic.

Other Results of Operations

2021 vs. 2020
Research and development expenses of $304.7 million increased by 
$16.8 million, or approximately 6 percent versus the prior year period. 
During 2020, we phased some research and development projects 
differently to allow for lower costs in response to the pandemic without 
fundamentally impacting long-term timelines. In 2021, we resumed 
research and development expenses related to these projects. 

Depreciation and amortization

Interest expense, net

2022 vs. 2021
Depreciation and amortization of $169.4 million decreased $1.5 million, 
or approximately 1 percent, as compared to 2021 of $170.9 million. 

2021 vs. 2020
Depreciation and amortization of $170.9 million increased $8.2 million, 
or approximately 5 percent, as compared to 2020 of $162.7 million. 
The increase was mostly driven by the impacts of the amortization 
effects of the completion of various phases of our ERP implementation 
which increased amortization expense by approximately $5 million.

2022 vs. 2021
Interest expense, net of $151.8 million increased by $20.7 million, or 
approximately 16 percent, compared to $131.1 million in 2021. The 
increase was driven by higher interest rates and higher debt balances 
which increased interest expense by approximately $28 million for 
domestic debt and $7 million for foreign debt, partially offset by the 
benefits of the refinancing activity completed in the fourth quarter of 
2021 which decreased interest expense by approximately $12 million.

2021 vs. 2020
Interest expense, net of $131.1 million decreased by $20.1 million, 
or approximately 13 percent, compared to $151.2 million in 2020. 
The decrease was driven by lower foreign debt balances and rates 
which decreased interest expense by approximately $9 million and, 
lower short term interest rates which decreased interest expense by 
approximately $10 million.

2022
Restructuring and other charges (income) is primarily comprised of 
a gain of $50.5 million recognized on the disposition of land related 
to a closed manufacturing facility. Restructuring and other charges 
(income) is also comprised of charges of $5.9 million of severance and 
employee separation costs, $11.2 million related to fixed asset charges, 
and $7.3 million of other restructuring related charges incurred as 
part of various restructuring initiatives disclosed in previous periods.

Other charges (income) is primarily comprised of $76.8 million in 
exit charges related to our decision to cease operations and business 
in Russia. Additional charges of $42.4 million relate primarily to 
environmental charges, which were impacted by higher inflation rates. 

2021
Restructuring charges in 2021 primarily consisted of $16.7 million of 
charges associated with the integration of the DuPont Crop Protection 
Business which was completed in 2020 except for certain in-flight 
initiatives. These charges primarily reflect non-cash charges and to a 
lesser extent remaining severance. Restructuring charges associated 
with the DuPont program were largely complete. There were other 
restructuring charges of $13.4 million related to various actions to 
improve organizational structure as well as regional alignment activities 
which primarily included the move of our European headquarters. Types 
of costs primarily relate to facility-related shut down costs including 
asset impairments as well as employee-related costs. 

Other charges (income), net in 2021 includes $33.5 million of charges 
related to the establishment of reserves for certain historical India indirect 
tax matters that were triggered during the period of which approximately 
half are non-cash charges. See Note 20 to the consolidated financial 
statements included within this Form 10-K for further information 
regarding this matter. Additional charges of $27.1 million consists of 
charges of environmental sites. 

2020
Restructuring charges in 2020 primarily consisted of $40.2 million of 
charges associated with the integration of the DuPont Crop Protection 
Business which was completed in 2020 except for certain in-flight 
initiatives. These charges included severance, accelerated depreciation 
on certain fixed assets, and other costs (benefits). There were other 
miscellaneous restructuring charges $2.4 million.

Other charges (income), net in 2020 includes $65.6 million of charges 
related to our acquisition of the remaining rights for Fluindapyr active 
ingredient assets from Isagro. See Note 9 to the consolidated financial 
statements included within this Form 10-K for further information 
regarding this matter. Additional charges of $24.9 million consists of 
charges of environmental sites.

Non-operating pension and postretirement charges 
(income)

2022 vs. 2021
The charge for 2022 was $8.6 million compared to $5.6 million in 
2021. The increase is primarily due to rising interest rates during 2022 
compared to 2021 partially offset by higher expected return on plan assets.

2021 vs. 2020
The charge for 2021 was $5.6 million compared to $14.7 million in 
2020. Comparing 2020 and 2021 expense, the difference is because 
of lower interest rates in 2021 compared to 2020, partially offset by a 
lower expected return on assets. 

As previously disclosed, we changed our method of accounting to the 
fair value approach for our liability hedging asset class, which does not 
involve deferring the impact of excess plan asset gains or losses in the 
determination of these two components of net periodic benefit cost. 
This class of assets is comprised solely of fixed income securities and 
therefore, provides a natural hedge (liability hedging assets) against 
the changes in the recorded amount of net periodic pension cost. No 
change is being made to the accounting principle for the other classes 
of pension assets; however our U.S. qualified pension plan reached 
fully funded status during 2018 and since that point the portfolio 
has been invested 100 percent in fixed income securities and cash. As 
a result of this change, we do not expect significant volatility in this 
line item going forward. 

Transaction-related charges
A detailed description of the transaction related charges is included in 
Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements included within this 
Form 10-K. Transaction related charges, which consisted entirely of 
those for the DuPont Crop acquisition, ended in early 2021.

Provision for income taxes

Provision for income taxes for 2022 was expense of $145.2 million 
resulting in an effective tax rate of 14.8 percent. Provision for income 
taxes for 2021 was expense of $92.5 million resulting in an effective tax 
rate of 10.3 percent. Provision for income taxes for 2020 was expense of 
$151.2 million resulting in an effective tax rate of 20.7 percent. Note

statements included within this Form 10-K.

The primary drivers for the fluctuations in the effective tax rate for 
each period are provided in the table above. Excluding the items in 
the table above, the changes in the non-GAAP effective tax rate were 
primarily due to the impact of geographic mix of earnings among our 
global subsidiaries. See Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements 
included within this Form 10-K for additional details related to the 
provisions for income taxes on continuing operations, as well as items 
that significantly impact our effective tax rate. 

Discontinued operations, net of income taxes

Our discontinued operations primarily reflect adjustments to retained 
liabilities from previously discontinued operations and include 
environmental liabilities, other postretirement benefit liabilities, 
self-insurance, long-term obligations related to legal proceedings and 
historical restructuring activities. See Note 11 to the consolidated 
financial statements included within this Form 10-K for additional 
details on our discontinued operations.

2022 vs. 2021 
Discontinued operations, net of income taxes represented a loss of 
$97.2 million in 2022 compared to a loss of $68.2 million in 2021. 
The loss during both periods was primarily due to adjustments related to 
the retained liabilities from our previously discontinued operations. Higher 
inflation rates negatively impacted adjustments to our environmental and 
other retained liabilities in 2022. Offsetting the losses in 2021 was the 
gain on sales of land in our discontinued sites of $15 million, net of taxes.

2021 vs. 2020 
Discontinued operations, net of income taxes represented a loss of 
$68.2 million in 2021 compared to a loss of $28.3 million in 2020. 
The loss during both periods was primarily due to adjustments related 
to the retained liabilities from our previously discontinued operations. 
Offsetting the losses in 2021 and 2020 were the gain on sales of land in our 
discontinued sites of $15 million and $24 million, net of taxes, respectively.

Net income (loss) 

2022 vs. 2021 
Net income increased to $741.5 million from $737.1 million. The higher 
results were driven by higher revenues and margins. However, these 
increases were mainly offset by higher selling, general and administrative 
costs, interest expense, income taxes, and discontinued operations expenses.

The only difference between Net income (loss) and Net income (loss) 
attributable to FMC stockholders is noncontrolling interest. The 2022 
noncontrolling interest includes the portion of the $50.5 million gain 
on the land disposition (see Corporate special charges (income) section 
above) attributable to the other partner.

2021 vs. 2020 
Net income increased to $737.1 million from $551.5 million. The higher 
results were driven by higher revenues and margins as well as lower 
selling, general and administrative costs primarily resulting from lower 
transaction-related charges. Additionally, we had lower restructuring and 
other charges of $24.2 million, interest expense, net of $20.1 million, 
and tax expense of $58.7 million. These reductions were offset by higher 
discontinued operations charges of $39.9 million resulting from higher 
adjustments to retained liabilities and lower gains from real estate sales.

The only difference between Net income (loss) and Net income (loss) 
attributable to FMC stockholders is noncontrolling interest, which 
period over period is immaterial. 

Adjusted EBITDA (Non-GAAP)

2022 vs. 2021 
Adjusted EBITDA of $1,406.8 million increased $93.0 million, or 
approximately 7 percent versus the prior year period. The increase was due 
to higher pricing and higher volume which accounted for approximately 
28 percent and 20 percent increases respectively. These factors more than 
offset significant cost increases, primarily attributable to raw materials, 
which had an unfavorable impact of approximately 35 percent and 
foreign currency fluctuations which had an unfavorable impact of 
approximately 6 percent on adjusted EBITDA.

27

FMC CORPORATION - Form 10-KPART II  
ITEM 7 Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

2021 vs. 2020
Adjusted EBITDA of $1,313.8 million increased $68.7 million, or 
approximately 6 percent versus the prior year period. The increase 
was due to higher volumes and higher pricing which accounted for 
approximately 20 percent and 3 percent increases respectively. These 
factors more than offset cost increases in raw materials, packaging, and 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As a global agricultural sciences company, we require cash primarily 
for seasonal working capital needs, capital expenditures, and return 
of capital to shareholders. We plan to meet these liquidity needs 
through available cash, cash generated from operations, commercial 
paper issuances and borrowings under our committed revolving credit 
facility as well as other liquidity facilities, and in certain instances access 
to debt capital markets. We believe our strong financial standing and 
credit ratings will ensure adequate access to the debt capital markets 
on favorable conditions. Information involving our material cash 
requirements is detailed below.

Cash

Cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2022 and 2021, were 
$572.0 million and $516.8 million, respectively. Of the cash and cash 
equivalents balance at December 31, 2022, $551.1 million was held by 
our foreign subsidiaries. We have established plans to repatriate cash from 
certain foreign subsidiaries with minimal tax on a go forward basis. Other 
cash held by foreign subsidiaries is generally used to finance subsidiaries’ 
operating activities and future foreign investments. See Note 13 to the 
consolidated financial statements included within this Form 10-K for 
more information on our indefinite reinvestment assertion.

Outstanding debt

At December 31, 2022, we had total debt of $3,274.0 million as 
compared to $3,172.5 million at December 31, 2021. Total debt 
included $2,733.2 million and $2,731.7 million of long-term debt 
(excluding current portions of $88.5 million and $84.5 million) at 
December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. On June 17, 2022, we 
amended our Revolving Credit Facility and on June 27, 2022 we 
amended our 2021 Term Loan Agreement. The Revolving Credit 
Facility Amendment primarily increased the borrowing capacity from 
$1.5 billion to $2 billion and extended the maturity date by an additional 
year to 2027. As of December 31, 2022, we were in compliance with 
all of our debt covenants. See Note 14 to the consolidated financial 
statements included within this Form 10-K for further details. We remain 
committed to solid investment grade credit metrics, and full-year average 
leverage was in line with this commitment in 2022.

logistics costs, and to a lesser extent the reversal of some temporary 
cost savings in the prior year, which had an unfavorable impact of 
approximately 15 percent and foreign currency fluctuations which had 
an unfavorable impact of approximately 2 percent on adjusted EBITDA.

Our short-term debt consists of foreign borrowings and borrowings 
under our commercial paper program. Foreign borrowings decreased 
from $112.2 million at December 31, 2021 to $81.8 million at 
December 31, 2022 while outstanding commercial paper increased 
from $244.1 million at December 31, 2021 to $370.5 million at 
December 31, 2022. We provide parent-company guarantees to lending 
institutions providing credit to our foreign subsidiaries.

Our total debt maturities, excluding discounts, is $3,290.8 million at 
December 31, 2022, with $540.8 million payable in the next 12 months. 
As of December 31, 2022, we had contractual interest obligations of 
$950.1 million outstanding, with $118.8 million payable in the next 
12 months. Contractual interest is the interest we are contracted to pay 
on our long-term debt obligations. We had $800.0 million of long-term 
debt subject to variable interest rates at December 31, 2022. The rate 
assumed for the variable interest component of the contractual interest 
obligation was the rate in effect at December 31, 2022. Variable rates 
are determined by the market and will fluctuate over time.

Access to credit and future liquidity and funding 
needs

At December 31, 2022, our remaining borrowing capacity under our 
credit facility was $1,469.5 million. See Note 14 to the consolidated 
financial statements included within this Form 10-K for discussion 
of the amendments to the Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan 
Agreements undertaken in the current year. Our commercial paper 
program allows us to borrow at rates generally more favorable than 
those available under our credit facility. At December 31, 2022, we had 
$370.5 million borrowings outstanding under the commercial paper 
program at an average borrowing rate of 4.9 percent. Our commercial 
paper balances fluctuate from year to year depending on working 
capital needs. Based on cash generated from operations, our existing 
liquidity facilities, which includes the revolving credit agreement with 
the option to increase capacity up to $2.75 billion, and our continued 
access to debt capital markets, we have adequate liquidity to meet any 
of the company’s debt obligations in the near term.

Working Capital Initiatives

The Company works with suppliers to optimize payment terms and 
conditions on accounts payable to improve working capital and cash flows. 
The Company offers to a select group of suppliers a voluntary Supply 
Chain Finance (“SCF”) program with a global financial institution. The 
suppliers, at their sole discretion, may sell their receivables to the financial 
institution based on terms negotiated between them. Our obligations 
to our suppliers are not impacted by our suppliers’ decisions to sell 
under these arrangements. Agreements under these supplier financing 
programs are recorded within Accounts payable in our Consolidated 
Balance Sheets and the associated payments are included in operating 

activities within our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. We do 
not believe that changes in the availability of the supply chain finance 
program would have a significant impact on our liquidity. 

From time to time, the Company may sell receivables on a non-recourse 
basis to third-party financial institutions. These sales are normally 
driven by specific market conditions, including, but not limited to, 
foreign exchange environments, customer credit management, as well 
as other factors where the receivables may lay. See Note 10 for more 
information on receivables factoring. 

Commitments

We provide guarantees to financial institutions on behalf of certain 
customers, principally customers in Brazil, and to a lesser extent 
Asia, for their seasonal borrowing. The total of these guarantees was 
$156.7 million at December 31, 2022. 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 connection with certain of 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. Our indemnification 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. In cases where 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, no specific liability has been recorded. If triggered, we may be 
able to recover certain of the indemnity payments from third parties. 
In cases where it is possible, we have recorded a specific liability within 
our Reserve for Discontinued Operations. Refer to Note 11 to the 
consolidated financial statements included within this Form 10-K 
for further details.

Taxes, Pension, Environmental, and Other 
Discontinued Liabilities

As of December 31, 2022, the liability for uncertain tax positions was 
$52.4 million. We also have a liability attributable to the transition 
tax on deemed repatriated foreign earnings incurred as a result of the 
Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”) of $92.1 million. Our consolidated 
balance sheets contain accrued pension and other postretirement benefits, 
our environmental liabilities, and our other discontinued liabilities 

for which we are unable to make a reasonably reliable estimate of the 
amount and periods in which these liabilities might be paid beyond 
2023. See our discussion under 2023 Cash Flow Outlook in the Free 
Cash Flow section within this Form 10-K for information on these 
liabilities and the related expected payments in 2023. 

Derivatives

At times we can be in a derivative liability position that can require 
future cash obligations. As of December 31, 2022, we had derivative 
contract obligations of $4.6 million, with the full amount payable in 
the next 12 months.

Leases

We have lease arrangements for equipment and facilities, including 
office spaces, IT equipment, transportation equipment, and machinery 
equipment. As of December 31, 2022, we had fixed lease payment 
obligations of $180.9 million, with $27.3 million payable within 
12 months.

Purchase obligations

Purchase obligations consist of agreements to purchase goods and 
services that are enforceable and legally binding and specify all significant 
terms, including fixed or minimum quantities to be purchased, price 
provisions and timing of the transaction. We have entered into a 
number of purchase obligations for the sourcing of materials and energy 
where take-or-pay arrangements apply. As of December our purchase 
obligations were $459.4 million, with $200.2 million payable in the 
first 12 months. The majority of the minimum obligations under these 
contracts are take-or-pay commitments over the life of the contract and 
not a year by year take-or-pay, and as such, the obligations related to 
these types of contacts are presented in the earliest period in which the 
minimum obligation could be payable under these types of contracts.

CASH PROVIDED (REQUIRED) BY OPERATING ACTIVITIES OF CONTINUING 
OPERATIONS (GAAP)
(1)  The change in trade receivables in all periods include the impacts of seasonality and the receivable build intrinsic in our business. The change in cash flows related to trade 
receivables in 2022 was driven by timing of collections, higher sales year over year, and the inflationary impact of price increases to offset cost headwinds. Collection timing is 
more pronounced in certain countries such as Brazil where there may be terms significantly longer than the rest of our business. Additionally, timing of collection is impacted 
as amounts for all periods include carry-over balances remaining to be collected in Latin America, where collection periods are measured in months rather than weeks. 
During 2022, we collected approximately $1,670 million of receivables in Brazil.

(2)  Advance payments are typically received in the fourth quarter of each year, primarily in our North America operations as revenue associated with advance payments is 
recognized, generally in the first half of each year following the seasonality of that business, as shipments are made and title, ownership and risk of loss pass to the customer. 
The change in 2022 and 2021 was related to higher overall payments received primarily due to strong North America seasons in both years. The change in 2021 was related 
to substantially higher payments received compared to 2020.

(3)  These rebates are primarily associated within North America, and to a lesser extent Brazil, and in North America generally settle in the fourth quarter of each year given the end 
of the respective crop cycle. The changes in 2022 compared to 2021 are mostly associated with higher North America revenue, primarily driven by volume and price increases, 
as well as with the mix in sales eligible for rebates and incentives and timing of certain rebate payments.

(4)  The change in cash flows during 2022 reflect the inventory build required to meet business demand. The change in cash flows during 2021 include an inventory build to help 
manage supply chain volatility as well as higher input costs. Changes in inventory in 2020 are a result of significant market impacts related to supply chain constraints, reduced 
demand, and products held by foreign customs.

(5)  The change in cash flows related to accounts payable in 2022, 2021 and 2020 is primarily due to timing of payments made to suppliers and vendors. In 2022, the change in 

cash flows related to accounts payable was also driven by cost inflation. 

(6)  Changes in all periods presented primarily represent timing of payments associated with all other operating assets and liabilities. Additionally, the 2022, 2021 and 2020 period 

includes the effects of the unfavorable contracts amortization of approximately $82 million, $103 million and $120 million, respectively.

(7)  See Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements included within this Form 10-K for further details.
(8) 

Included in our results for each of the years presented are environmental charges for environmental remediation of $34.7 million, $27.1 million and $24.9 million, 
respectively. The amounts in 2022 will be spent in future years. The amounts represent environmental remediation spending which were recorded against pre-existing reserves, 
net of recoveries. Environmental obligations for continuing operations primarily represent obligations at shut down or abandoned facilities within businesses that do not meet 
the criteria for presentation as discontinued operations. Amounts in 2021 include payments of $32.2 million related to the Pocatello Tribal Litigation. Additionally, during 
the first quarter of 2020, we entered into a confidential insurance settlement pertaining to coverage at a legacy environmental site, which settlement resulted in a cash payment 
to FMC in the amount of $20.0 million. Refer to Note 12 to the consolidated financial statements included within this Form 10-K for more details.

(9)  There were no voluntary contributions to our U.S. qualified defined benefit plan in 2022, 2021 and 2020.
(10)  Interest payments were higher during 2022 largely due to higher short term interest rates and higher debt balances. 
(11)  Amounts shown in the chart represent net tax payments of our continuing operations. Tax payments in 2021 include the remittance of deferred income tax payments in various 

jurisdictions from 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. 

(12)  Represents payments for legal and professional fees associated with the DuPont Crop Protection Business Acquisition in addition to costs related to integrating the DuPont Crop 
Protection Business. We completed the integration of the DuPont Crop Protection Business in 2020, other than the completion of certain in-flight initiatives associated with 
the finalization of our worldwide ERP system in early 2021. Any related restructuring charges associated with the DuPont program are complete as of December 31, 2022 
and any future charges are not expected to be material. See Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements included within this Form 10-K for more information.

ITEM 7 Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Cash provided (required) by operating activities 
of discontinued operations was $(77.6) million, 
$(78.5) million and $(89.0) million for 2022, 
2021 and 2020, respectively.

Cash provided (required) by investing activities of 
discontinued operations was zero , $19.7 million 
and $31.1 million for 2022, 2021 and 2020, 
respectively.

Cash required by operating activities of discontinued operations in 2022 
is directly related to environmental spending of $47.0 million as well as 
$30.6 million for other postretirement benefit liabilities, self-insurance, 
long-term obligations related to legal proceedings, collectively. 2021 
and 2020 spending were of a similar nature. 

Cash provided (required) by investing activities 
of continuing operations was $(266.4) million, 
$(131.7) million and $(200.4) million for 2022, 
2021 and 2020, respectively.

Cash required for 2022 is primarily related to capital expenditures 
needed for increased capacity, as well the consideration paid for the 
BioPhero acquisition. Capital expenditures in 2022 increased due to 
spending directed towards capacity expansion. This usage of cash was 
offset by the proceeds received on the disposition of land on a previously 
shutdown manufacturing facility. 

Cash required in 2021 is primarily due to capital expenditures 
and spending related to our contract manufacturing arrangements. 
We completed the final stage of our SAP system implementation 
during the early part of 2021, therefore there was a reduction in those 
payments from the prior year.

Cash required in 2020 primarily due to capital expenditures and 
spending related to our contract manufacturing arrangements, as 
well as continued spending associated with the final stages of our 
new SAP system implementation. 2020 also includes payments of 
$65.6 million to acquire the remaining rights for Fluindapyr from 
Isagro S.p.A (“Isagro”) in an asset acquisition.

Free Cash Flow

We define free cash flow, a Non-GAAP financial measure, as all cash 
inflows and outflows excluding those related to financing activities 
(such as debt repayments, dividends, and share repurchases) and 
acquisition related investing activities. Free cash flow is calculated as all 
cash from operating activities reduced by spending for capital additions 
and other investing activities as well as legacy and transformation 
spending. Therefore, our calculation of free cash flow will almost 
always result in a lower amount than cash from operating activities 
from continuing operations, the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP 
measure. However, the free cash flow measure is consistent with 
management’s assessment of operating cash flow performance and we 
believe it provides a useful basis for investors and securities analysts 
about the cash generated by routine business operations, including 
capital expenditures, in addition to assessing our ability to repay debt, 
fund acquisitions including cost and equity method investments, and 
return capital to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends.

Cash provided by investing activities of discontinued operations in 
2021 represents the proceeds from the sale of land of our discontinued 
sites. This resulted in a gain recognized within discontinued operations 
of approximately $15.4 million net of taxes.

Cash provided by investing activities of discontinued operations in 
2020 represents the proceeds of approximately $31 million from the 
sale of our two parcels of land of our discontinued site in Newark, 
California. These sales resulted in a gain recognized within discontinued 
operations of approximately $24 million, net of taxes. 

Cash provided (required) by financing activities 
was $(237.4) million, $(747.9) million and 
$(250.3) million in 2022, 2021 and 2020, 
respectively.

The change in cash required by financing activities in 2022 is primarily 
driven by lower share repurchases under our publicly announced 
program as well as lower repayments on long term debt.

The change in cash required by financing activities in 2021 is primarily 
driven due to the payment of long term debt and the increase in share 
repurchases under our publicly announced program. 

The change in cash required by financing activities in 2020 is primarily 
driven by the prior year proceeds from the Senior Notes and higher 
dividend payments offset by a reduction in the payment of long term 
debt and a reduction of repurchases of common stock under our 
publicly announced program. 

Our use of free cash flow has limitations as an analytical tool and should 
not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for an analysis of our 
results under U.S. GAAP. First, free cash flow is not a substitute for cash 
provided (required) by operating activities of continuing operations, 
as it is not a measure of cash available for discretionary expenditures 
since we have non-discretionary obligations, primarily debt service, 
that are not deducted from the measure. Second, other companies may 
calculate free cash flow or similarly titled Non-GAAP financial measures 
differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance, 
all of which could reduce the usefulness of free cash flow as a tool for 
comparison. Additionally, the utility of free cash flow is further limited 
as it does not reflect our future contractual commitments and does not 
represent the total increase or decrease in our cash balance for a given 
period. Because of these and other limitations, free cash flow should be 
considered along with cash provided (required) by operating activities 
of continuing operations and other comparable financial measures 
prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

(3)  Components of cash provided (required) by investing activities of continuing operations. Refer to the below discussion for further details.
(4)  Included  in  the  amounts  is  cash  spending  associated  with  contract  manufacturers  of  $6.8  million,  $18.8  million  and  $17.4  million  for  the  years  ended 

December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

(5)  Refer to the above discussion for further details.
(6)  Includes our legacy liabilities such as environmental remediation and other legal matters and our discontinued investing activities that are reported in discontinued 
operations. It also includes business integration costs associated with the DuPont Crop Protection Business Acquisition and the implementation of our new SAP 
system. The year ended December 31, 2022 includes proceeds from a land disposition described below.

(7)  During December 2022, we finalized a land transfer agreement with the Shanghai Municipal People’s Government. We received cash proceeds of $50.5 million 

for the land transfer. For additional detail on this transaction, see Note 9 to our consolidated financial statements included within this Form 10-K.

2023 Cash Flow Outlook

Our cash needs for 2023 include operating cash requirements (which are 
impacted by contributions to our pension plan, as well as environmental, 
asset retirement obligation, and restructuring spending), capital 
expenditures, and legacy and transformation spending, as well as 
mandatory payments of debt, dividend payments, and share repurchases. 
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 December 31, 2022 our remaining 
borrowing capacity under our credit facility was $1,469.5 million.

We expect 2023 free cash flow (Non-GAAP) to fall within a range 
of approximately $530 million to $720 million. At the mid-point of 
the range there is an increase year over year driven by higher adjusted 
cash from operations primarily due to growth in adjusted EBITDA 
and slower growth of working capital from slower sales growth and 
easing input cost inflation which will be partially offset by higher cash 
interest and taxes. We expect a modest year over year increase in capital 
additions as we expand capacity to meet growing demand, especially 
for our new products.

Although we provide a forecast for free cash flow, a Non-GAAP financial 
measure, we are not able to forecast the most directly comparable measure 
calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which is cash 
provided (required) by operating activities of continuing operations. 
Certain elements of the composition of the U.S. GAAP amount are 

not predictable, making it impractical for us to forecast. Such elements 
include, but are not limited to, restructuring, acquisition charges, and 
discontinued operations. As a result, no U.S. GAAP outlook is provided.

Cash from operating activities of continuing operations

We expect higher cash from operating activities, excluding the effects 
of transaction-related cash flows, to be in the range of approximately 
$800 million to $920 million. Transaction-related cash flows are 
included within Legacy and transformation, which is consistent with 
how we evaluate our business operations from a cash flow standpoint 
are substantially complete. See below for further discussion. Cash from 
operating activities includes cash requirements related to our pension 
plans, environmental sites, restructuring and asset retirement obligations, 
taxes and interest on borrowings. 

Pension

We do not expect to make any voluntary cash contributions to our 
U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plan in 2023. The plan is slightly 
overfunded and our portfolio is comprised of 100 percent fixed income 
securities and cash. Our investment strategy is a liability hedging approach 
with an objective of maintaining the funded status of the plan such that 
the funded status volatility is minimized and the likelihood that we will 
be required to make significant contributions to the plan is limited.

ITEM 7 Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Environmental

Projected 2023 spending, net of recoveries includes approximately 
$35 million to $45 million of net environmental remediation spending 
for our sites accounted for within continuing operations. Environmental 
obligations for continuing operations primarily represent obligations at 
shut down or abandoned facilities within businesses that do not meet 
the criteria for presentation as discontinued operations. 

Projected 2023 spending, net of recoveries includes approximately 
$40 million to $50 million of net environmental remediation spending 
for our discontinued sites, which is part of legacy and transformation 
noted below. These projections include spending as a result of a settlement 
reached in the second quarter of 2019 at our Middleport, New York 
site. The settlement will result in spending $10 million maximum per 
year on average, until the remediation is complete.

Total projected 2023 environmental spending, inclusive of sites 
accounted for within both continuing operations and discontinued 
sites, is expected to be in the range of $75 million to $95 million.

Restructuring and asset retirement obligations

We expect to make payments of approximately $25 to $35 million in 
2023, of which approximately $10 million is related to exit and disposal 
costs as a result of our previous decision in 2019 to exit sales of all 
carbofuran formulations (including Furadan® insecticide/nematicide, 
as well as Curaterr® insecticide/nematicide and any other brands used 
with carbofuran products).

Capital additions and other investing activities

Projected 2023 capital expenditures and expenditures related to 
contract manufacturers are expected to be in the range of approximately 
$140 million to $180 million. The spending is mainly driven by 
continuing to expand capacity to meet growing demand, especially 
for our new products. Expenditures related to contract manufacturers 
are included within “other investing activities”.

Legacy and transformation

Projected 2023 legacy and transformation spending are expected to 
be in the range of approximately $60 million to $90 million. This is 

primarily driven by environmental remediation spending for our 
discontinued sites, discussed above, and other legacy liabilities. We 
completed the integration of the DuPont Crop Protection Business in 
2020, other than the completion of certain in-flight initiatives associated 
with the finalization of our worldwide ERP system in early 2021. As 
such, transformation spending in 2023 is not expected to be material.

Share repurchases

During the year ended December 31, 2022, 875,480 shares were 
repurchased under the publicly announced repurchase program for 
approximately $100 million. At December 31, 2022, approximately 
$900.0 million remained unused under our Board-authorized repurchase 
program. In February 2022, the Board of Directors authorized the 
repurchase of up to $1 billion of the Company’s common stock. 
The $1 billion share repurchase program replaced in its entirety the 
previous authorization. This repurchase program does not include a 
specific timetable or price targets and may be suspended or terminated 
at any time. Shares may be purchased through open market or privately 
negotiated transactions at the discretion of management based on its 
evaluation of market conditions and other factors. We also reacquire 
shares from time to time from employees in connections with vesting, 
exercise and forfeiture of awards under our equity compensation plans.

We intend to repurchase, at a minimum, enough FMC shares to offset 
any dilution from share-based compensation. 

Dividends

On January 19, 2023, we paid dividends aggregating $72.7 million to our 
shareholders of record as of December 31, 2022. This amount is included 
in “Accrued and other liabilities” on the consolidated balance sheet as of 
December 31, 2022. For the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 
2020, we paid $267.5 million, $247.2 million and $228.5 million in 
dividends, respectively. We expect to continue to make quarterly dividend 
payments. Future cash dividends, as always, will depend on a variety of 
factors, including earnings, capital requirements, financial condition, 
general economic conditions and other factors considered relevant by us 
and is subject to final determination by our Board of Directors.

Contingencies

See Note 20 to our consolidated financial statements included within this Form 10-K.

Climate Change

We are concerned about the consequences of climate change and will 
take prudent and cost-effective actions that reduce GHG emissions 
to the atmosphere.

FMC is committed to continuing to do its part to address climate change 
and its impacts. FMC published its first sustainability report in 2011 
and has been reporting its GHG emissions and mitigation strategy to 
CDP (formerly Carbon Disclosure Project) since 2016. FMC detailed 
the business risks and opportunities we have due to climate change 
and its impacts in our CDP climate change reports. FMC received a 
“A-” in the CDP Climate Change and Water Security questionnaires 
in 2022, demonstrating leadership in climate disclosure. As part of 
FMC’s continued commitment to address climate change, in August of 

2021, FMC announced its goal to achieve an expected net-zero GHG 
emissions by 2035 FMC. FMC committed to the Science Based Target 
initiative (“SBTi”) Net-Zero Standard, aligned with keeping the global 
temperature at 1.5°C above pre-industrial times. Beyond net-zero, 
FMC also seeks to achieve 100% implementation of sustainable water 
practices at all FMC sites and 100% waste to beneficial reuse by 2035. 

Even as we take action to control the release of GHGs, additional warming 
is anticipated. Long-term, higher average global temperatures could result 
in induced changes in natural resources, growing seasons, precipitation 
patterns, weather patterns, species distributions, water availability, sea 
levels, and biodiversity. These impacts could cause changes in supplies 
of raw materials used to maintain FMC’s production capacity and could 

33

FMC CORPORATION - Form 10-KPART II  
ITEM 7 Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

lead to possible increased sourcing costs. Depending on how pervasive 
the climate impacts are in the different geographic locations experiencing 
changes in natural resources, FMC’s customers could be impacted. Demand 
for FMC’s products could increase if our products meet our customers’ 
needs to adapt to climate change impacts or decrease if our products do 
not meet their needs. In addition, extreme weather events attributable 
to climate change may result in, among other things, physical damage 
to our property and equipment, and interruptions to our supply chain.

Though the nature of these events makes them difficult to predict, 
to respond to the uncertainty and better understand our risks and 
opportunities as they relate to climate change, we have conducted 
climate related scenario analyses consistent with the recommendations 
provided by the Taskforce for Climate-Related Financial Disclosures 
(“TCFD”). As part of the TCFD scenario analysis, we have evaluated 
both physical and transitional risks and opportunities across multiple 
time horizons. In accordance with the TCFD guidance, we leveraged 
scenarios published by the International Energy Agency (“IEA”) and the 
United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), 
including a scenario below 2°C. Results of this analysis are integrated 
in enterprise risk management and long-term business strategy, and are 
used to determine where strategic capital could be deployed to address 
risks and opportunities. Risks identified in Item 1A are aligned with 
the TCFD requirements. 

In our product portfolio, we see transition market opportunities for our 
products to address climate change and its impacts. For example, FMC’s 
agricultural solutions can help customers increase yield, energy and water 
efficiency, and decrease GHG emissions. Our solutions can also help 
growers adapt to more unpredictable growing conditions and the effects 
these types of threats have on crops. FMC has committed to achieve a 
goal of investing 100 percent of our research and development pipeline 
budget to developing sustainable products and solutions for future use.

We are improving existing products and developing new platforms 
and technologies that help mitigate impacts of climate change. These 
opportunities could lead to new products and services for our existing 
and potential customers. Beyond our products and operations, FMC 
recognizes that energy consumption throughout our supply chain 
can impact climate change and product costs. FMC has committed 
to an expected target of net-zero GHG emissions across our entire 
value, which would include reductions across our entire supply chain. 
Therefore, we will actively work with our entire value chain - suppliers, 
contractors, and customers - to seek to improve their energy efficiencies 
and to reduce their GHG emissions. 

We continue to follow legislative and regulatory developments regarding 
climate change, including climate-related disclosures. The regulation 
of GHGs, depending on their nature and scope, could subject some 
of our manufacturing operations to additional costs or limits on 
operations. In December 2015, 195 countries at the United Nations 
Climate Change Conference in Paris reached an agreement to reduce 
GHGs. In November 2021, the above parties reconvened at the United 
Nations Climate Change Conference in Glasgow to reaffirm the Paris 
Agreement and urged countries to reach 1.5°C level reductions by the 
2030s to lessen the impacts of climate change. Although it remains 
to be seen how and when each of these countries will implement this 
agreement, FMC has echoed this commitment with our expected target 
of net-zero by 2035 goal which allows us to do our part in reaching 
1.5°C level reductions. 

Some of our foreign operations are subject to national or local energy 
management or climate change regulation, such as our plant in Denmark 
that is subject to the EU Emissions Trading Scheme. At present, that 
plant’s emissions are below its designated cap.

In December 2019, the European Commission approved the European 
Green Deal, with the goal of making the EU carbon neutral by 2050. 
The Green Deal includes investment plans and a roadmap to fight 
against climate change. FMC is closely following updates and the 
discussion surrounding the Green Deal. The costs of complying with 
possible future requirements are difficult to estimate at this time.

Future GHG regulatory requirements may result in increased costs of 
energy, additional capital costs for emissions control or new equipment, 
and/or costs associated with cap and trade or carbon taxes. We are 
currently monitoring regulatory developments. The costs of complying 
with possible future climate change requirements are difficult to 
estimate at this time.

FMC will actively manage climate risks and incorporate them in our 
decision making as indicated in our responses to the CDP Climate 
Change Module. FMC will also use recommendations outlined in the 
TCFD to evaluate potential risks and opportunities and incorporate 
these into our overall strategy and risk management.

See Item IA. Risk Factors for additional considerations related to risks 
of climate change and sustainability. 

Recently Adopted and Issued Accounting Pronouncements and Regulatory Items

See Note 2 “Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements and Regulatory Items” to our consolidated financial statements included 
within this Form 10-K.

Fair Value Measurements

See Note 19 to our consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-K for additional discussion surrounding our fair value measurements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity 
with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). 
The preparation of these financial statements requires us 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 “Principal Accounting Policies and Related Financial 
Information” to our consolidated financial statements included in this 
Form 10-K. We have reviewed these accounting policies, identifying 

34

FMC CORPORATION - Form 10-KPART II  
ITEM 7 Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

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 the Board of 
Directors. Critical accounting policies are central to our presentation of 
results of operations and financial condition in accordance with U.S. 
GAAP 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. Our most 
critical accounting estimates and assumptions, which are those that 
involve a significant level of estimation uncertainty and have had, or are 
reasonably likely to have, a material impact on our financial condition 
or results of operations, include: Impairments and valuation of long-lived 
and indefinite-lived assets, Pension and other postretirement benefits, and 
the Allowance for credit losses on our trade receivables. Additional critical 
accounting policies are included within the list below:

Revenue recognition and trade receivables

We recognize revenue when (or as) we satisfy our performance obligation 
which is when the customer obtains control of the good or service. 
Rebates due to customers are accrued as a reduction of revenue in the 
same period that the related sales are recorded based on the contract 
terms. Refer to Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements included 
in this Form 10-K for more information.

We record amounts billed for shipping and handling fees as revenue. 
Costs incurred for shipping and handling are recorded as costs of sales 
and services. Amounts billed for sales and use taxes, value-added taxes, 
and certain excise and other specific transactional taxes imposed on 
revenue-producing transactions are presented on a net basis and excluded 
from sales in the consolidated income statements. We record a liability 
until remitted to the respective taxing authority.

We periodically enter into prepayment arrangements with customers 
and receive advance payments for product to be delivered in future 
periods. These advance payments are recorded as deferred revenue and 
classified as “Advance payments from customers” on the consolidated 
balance sheet. Revenue associated with advance payments is recognized as 
shipments are made and transfer of control to the customer takes place.

Trade receivables consist of amounts owed to us from customer sales 
and are recorded when revenue is recognized. The allowance for trade 
receivables represents our best estimate of the probable losses associated 
with potential customer defaults. In developing our allowance for trade 
receivables, we use a two stage process which includes calculating a 
general formula to develop an allowance to appropriately address the 
uncertainty surrounding collection risk of our entire portfolio and 
specific allowances for customers where the risk of collection has been 
reasonably identified either due to liquidity constraints or disputes over 
contractual terms and conditions.

Our method of calculating the general formula consists of estimating 
the recoverability of trade receivables based on historical experience, 
current collection trends, and external business factors such as economic 
factors, including regional bankruptcy rates, and political factors. Our 
analysis of trade receivable collection risk is performed quarterly, and 
the allowance is adjusted accordingly.

We also hold long-term receivables that represent long-term customer 
receivable balances related to past-due accounts which are not expected 
to be collected within the current year. Our policy for the review of 
the allowance for these receivables is consistent with the discussion 

in the preceding paragraph above on trade receivables. Therefore on 
an ongoing basis, we continue to evaluate the credit quality of our 
long-term receivables utilizing aging of receivables, collection experience 
and write-offs, as well as existing economic conditions, to determine 
if an additional allowance is necessary.

We believe our allowance for credit losses is a critical accounting 
estimate because the underlying assumptions used for the reserve can 
change from time to time and potentially have a material impact on 
our results of operations. Based on a combination of historical trends 
as well as current economic factors, we apply judgment to reserve 
for expected credit losses in the period in which the sale is recorded. 
A substantial change in the operating environments in any of our key 
locations (driven by weather conditions, industry specific events, and 
macroeconomic conditions) may result in actual adjustments that differ 
from our original assumptions.

Environmental obligations and related recoveries

We provide for environmental-related obligations when they are 
probable and amounts can be reasonably estimated. Where the available 
information is sufficient to estimate the amount of liability, that estimate 
has been used. Where the information is only sufficient to establish a 
range of probable liability and no point within the range is more likely 
than any other, the lower end of the range has been used.

Estimated obligations to remediate sites that involve oversight by the 
United States Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”), or similar 
government agencies, are generally accrued no later than when a Record 
of Decision (“ROD”), or equivalent, is issued, or upon completion of a 
Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study (“RI/FS”), or equivalent, that 
is submitted by us to the appropriate government agency or agencies. 
Estimates are reviewed quarterly by our environmental remediation 
management, as well as by financial and legal management and, if 
necessary, adjusted as additional information becomes available. 
The estimates can change substantially as additional information becomes 
available regarding the nature or extent of site contamination, required 
remediation methods, and other actions by or against governmental 
agencies or private parties.

Our environmental liabilities for continuing and discontinued operations 
are principally for costs associated with the remediation and/or study 
of sites at which we are alleged to have released hazardous substances 
into the environment. Such costs principally include, among other 
items, RI/FS, site remediation, costs of operation and maintenance of 
the remediation plan, management costs, fees to outside law firms and 
consultants for work related to the environmental effort, and future 
monitoring costs. Estimated site liabilities are determined based upon 
existing remediation laws and technologies, specific site consultants’ 
engineering studies or by extrapolating experience with environmental 
issues at comparable sites.

Included in our environmental liabilities are costs for the operation, 
maintenance and monitoring of site remediation plans (“OM&M”). Such 
reserves are based on our best estimates for these OM&M plans. Over 
time we may incur OM&M costs in excess of these reserves. However, 
we are unable to reasonably estimate an amount in excess of our recorded 
reserves because we cannot reasonably estimate the period for which 
such OM&M plans will need to be in place or the future annual cost 
of such remediation, as conditions at these environmental sites change 
over time. Such additional OM&M costs could be significant in total 
but would be incurred over an extended period of years.

Included in the environmental reserve balance, other assets balance and 
disclosure of reasonably possible loss contingencies are amounts from 
third-party insurance policies, which we believe are probable of recovery.

level determinable. The estimated cash flows reflect our assumptions 
about selling prices, volumes, costs and market conditions over a 
reasonable period of time.

Provisions for environmental costs are reflected in income, net of 
probable and estimable recoveries from named Potentially Responsible 
Parties (“PRPs”) or other third parties. In the fourth quarter of 2019, we 
increased our reserves for the Pocatello Tribal Matter by $72.8 million, 
which represents both the historical and discounted present value of 
future annual use permit fees as well as the associated legal costs. See 
Note 12 to the consolidated financial statements included within this 
Form 10-K for further information. All other environmental provisions 
incorporate inflation and are not discounted to their present value. 

In calculating and evaluating the adequacy of our environmental reserves, 
we have taken into account the joint and several liability imposed by 
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability 
Act (“CERCLA”) and the analogous state laws on all PRPs and have 
considered the identity and financial condition of the other PRPs at 
each site to the extent possible. We have also considered the identity 
and financial condition of other third parties from whom recovery 
is anticipated, as well as the status of our claims against such parties. 
Although we are unable to forecast the ultimate contributions of PRPs 
and other third parties with absolute certainty, the degree of uncertainty 
with respect to each party is taken into account when determining 
the environmental reserve by adjusting the reserve to reflect the facts 
and circumstances on a site-by-site basis. Our liability includes our 
best estimate of the costs expected to be paid before the consideration 
of any potential recoveries from third parties. We believe that any 
recorded recoveries related to PRPs are realizable in all material respects. 
Recoveries are recorded as either an offset in “Environmental liabilities, 
continuing and discontinued” or as “Other assets” in our consolidated 
balance sheets in accordance with U.S. accounting literature.

See Note 12 to our consolidated financial statements included within this 
Form 10-K for changes in estimates associated with our environmental 
obligations.

Impairments and valuation of long-lived and 
indefinite-lived assets

Our long-lived assets primarily include property, plant and equipment, 
goodwill and intangible assets. The assets and liabilities of acquired 
businesses are measured at their estimated fair values at the dates of 
acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value 
of the net assets acquired, including identified intangibles, is recorded 
as goodwill. The determination and allocation of fair value to the assets 
acquired and liabilities assumed is based on various assumptions and 
valuation methodologies requiring considerable management judgment, 
including estimates based on historical information, current market 
data and future expectations. Although the estimates were deemed 
reasonable by management based on information available at the dates 
of acquisition, those estimates are inherently uncertain.

We test for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate 
that the net book value of our property, plant and equipment may 
not be recoverable from the estimated undiscounted expected future 
cash flows expected to result from their use and eventual disposition. 
In cases where the estimated undiscounted expected future cash flows 
are less than net book value, an impairment loss is recognized equal 
to the amount by which the net book value exceeds the estimated fair 
value of assets, which is based on discounted cash flows at the lowest 

We perform an annual impairment test of goodwill and indefinite-lived 
intangible assets in the third quarter of each year, or more frequently 
whenever an event or change in circumstances occurs that would 
require reassessment of the recoverability of those assets. In performing 
our evaluation we assess qualitative factors such as overall financial 
performance of our reporting units, anticipated changes in industry 
and market structure, competitive environments, planned capacity 
and cost factors such as raw material prices. 

We estimate the fair value of the reporting unit using a discounted cash 
flow model as part of the income approach. We assess the appropriateness 
of projected financial information by comparing projected revenue 
growth rates, profit margins and tax rates to historical performance, 
industry data and selected guideline companies, where applicable. 
Our key assumptions include future cash flow projections, tax rates, 
terminal growth rates and discount rates. 

We employ the relief from royalty method of the income approach 
to value our brand portfolios (indefinite-lived intangible assets). The 
principle behind this method is that the value of the intangible asset is 
equal to the present value of the after-tax royalty savings attributable 
to owning the intangible asset. Primary inputs and key assumptions 
include revenue forecasts attributable to each portfolio, royalty rates 
(considering both external market data and internal arrangements), 
tax rates, terminal growth rates and discount rates. 

Estimating the fair value requires significant judgment and actual 
results may differ due to changes in the overall market conditions. We 
believe we have applied reasonable assumptions which considers both 
internal and external factors. 

We believe that an accounting estimate relating to asset impairment 
is a critical accounting estimate because of the inherent uncertainty 
within the underlying assumptions. An adverse change in any of 
these assumptions could result in an impairment charge which would 
potentially have a material impact on our results of operations.

Based on the annual assessment, we concluded the fair value of the 
reporting unit substantially exceeded the carrying value. Additionally, 
the fair value of each indefinite-lived intangible asset exceeded its 
carrying value. 

See Note 9 to our consolidated financial statements included within 
this Form 10-K for charges associated with long-lived asset disposal 
costs and the activity associated with the restructuring reserves.

Pension and other postretirement benefits

We provide qualified and nonqualified defined benefit and defined 
contribution pension plans, as well as postretirement health care and life 
insurance benefit plans to our employees and retirees. The costs (benefits) 
and obligations related to these benefits reflect key assumptions related 
to general economic conditions, including interest (discount) rates, 
healthcare cost trend rates, expected rates of return on plan assets and 
the rates of compensation increase for employees. The costs (benefits) 
and obligations for these benefit programs are also affected by other 
assumptions, such as average retirement age, mortality, employee turnover, 
and plan participation. To the extent our plans’ actual experience, as 
influenced by changing economic and financial market conditions or by 
changes to our own plans’ demographics, differs from these assumptions, 

36

FMC CORPORATION - Form 10-KPART II  
ITEM 7 Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

the costs and obligations for providing these benefits, as well as the plans’ 
funding requirements, could increase or decrease. When actual results 
differ from our assumptions, the difference is typically recognized over 
future periods. In addition, the unrealized gains and losses related to our 
pension and postretirement benefit obligations may also affect periodic 
benefit costs (benefits) in future periods.

We use several assumptions and statistical methods to determine 
the asset values used to calculate both the expected rate of return on 
assets component of pension cost and to calculate our plans’ funding 
requirements. As previously disclosed, we changed our method of 
accounting to the fair value approach for our liability-hedging asset 
class, which does not involve deferring the impact of excess plan asset 
gains or losses in the determination of these two components of net 
periodic benefit cost. This class of assets is comprised solely of fixed 
income securities and therefore, provides a natural hedge (liability-
hedging assets) against the changes in the recorded amount of net 
periodic benefit cost. We use an actuarial value of assets to determine 
our plans’ funding requirements. The actuarial value of assets must be 
within a certain range, high or low, of the actual market value of assets, 
and is adjusted accordingly.

We select the discount rate used to calculate pension and other 
postretirement obligations based on a review of available yields on 
high-quality corporate bonds as of the measurement date. In selecting 
a discount rate as of December 31, 2022, we placed particular emphasis 
on a discount rate yield-curve provided by our actuary. This yield-curve, 
when populated with projected cash flows that represent the expected 
timing and amount of our plans’ benefit payments, produced an effective 
discount rate of 5.16 percent for our U.S. qualified plan, 4.99 percent for 
our U.S. nonqualified, and 5.03 percent for our U.S. other postretirement 
benefit plans.

The discount rates used to determine projected benefit obligation at our 
December 31, 2022 and 2021 measurement dates for the U.S. qualified 
plan were 5.16 percent and 2.84 percent, respectively. The effect of 
the change in the discount rate from 2.84 percent to 5.16 percent at 
December 31, 2022 resulted in a $259.4 million decrease to our U.S. 
qualified pension benefit obligations. The effect of the change in the 
discount rate used to determine net annual benefit cost (income) from 
2.49 percent at December 31, 2021 to 2.84 percent at December 31, 
2022 resulted in a $1.9 million increase to the 2022 U.S. qualified 
pension expense. 

The change in discount rate from 2.84 percent at December 31, 2021 
to 5.16 percent at December 31, 2022 was attributable to an increase 
in yields on high quality corporate bonds with cash flows matching the 
timing and amount of our expected future benefit payments between 
the 2021 and 2022 measurement dates. Using the December 31, 2022 
and 2021 yield curves, our U.S. qualified plan cash flows produced a 
single weighted-average discount rate of approximately 5.16 percent 
and 2.84 percent, respectively.

In developing the assumption for the long-term rate of return on assets 
for our U.S. Plan, we take into consideration the technical analysis 
performed by our outside actuaries, including historical market returns, 
information on the assumption for long-term real returns by asset class, 
inflation assumptions, and expectations for standard deviation related to 
these best estimates. Our long-term rate of return for the fiscal year ended 
December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 was 2.50 percent, 2.25 percent 
and 3.00 percent, respectively.

For the sensitivity of our pension costs to incremental changes in 
assumptions see our discussion below. 

Sensitivity analysis related to key pension and 
postretirement benefit assumptions.
A one-half percent increase in the assumed discount rate would have 
decreased pension and other postretirement benefit obligations by 
$43.5 million and $66.1 million at December 31, 2022 and 2021, 
respectively, and increased pension and other postretirement benefit 
costs by $0.1 million, $0.4 million and zero for 2022, 2021 and 2020, 
respectively. A one-half percent decrease in the assumed discount 
rate would have increased pension and other postretirement benefit 
obligations by $47 million and $72.1 million at December 31, 2022 
and 2021, respectively, and decreased pension and other postretirement 
benefit costs by zero in 2022, $0.4 million in 2021, and increased costs 
by $0.1 million in 2020.

A one-half percent increase in the assumed expected long-term rate of 
return on plan assets would have decreased pension costs by $6.6 million, 
$6.3 million and $6.2 million for 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. 
A one-half percent decrease in the assumed long-term rate of return 
on plan assets would have increased pension costs by $6.6 million, 
$6.3 million and $6.2 million for 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Further details on our pension and other postretirement benefit obligations 
and net periodic benefit costs (benefits) are found in Note 15 to our 
consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-K.

Income taxes

We have recorded a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets 
in certain jurisdictions to the amount that we believe is more likely 
than not to be realized. In assessing the need for this allowance, we 
have considered a number of factors including future taxable income, 
the jurisdictions in which such income is earned and our ongoing tax 
planning strategies. In the event that we determine that we would not 
be able to realize all or part of our net deferred tax assets in the future, 
an adjustment to the deferred tax assets would be charged to income in 
the period such determination was made. Similarly, should we conclude 
that we would be able to realize certain deferred tax assets in the future 
in excess of the net recorded amount, an adjustment to the deferred tax 
assets would increase income in the period such determination was made.

Additionally, we file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction 
and various state and foreign jurisdictions. Certain income tax returns for 
FMC entities taxable in the U.S. and significant foreign jurisdictions are 
open for examination and adjustment. We assess our income tax positions 
and record a liability for all years open to examination based upon our 
evaluation of the facts, circumstances and information available at the 
reporting date. For those tax positions where it is more likely than not 
that a tax benefit will be sustained, we have recorded the largest amount 
of tax benefit with a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized 
upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge 
of all relevant information. We adjust these liabilities, if necessary, upon 
the completion of tax audits or changes in tax law.

See Note 13 to our consolidated financial statements included within 
this Form 10-K for additional discussion surrounding income taxes.

ITEM 7A Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

ITEM 7A Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures 

About Market Risk 

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.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

The primary currencies for which we have exchange rate exposure are the U.S. 
dollar versus the Brazilian real, Chinese yuan, Indian rupee, euro, Mexican 
peso and 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.

At December 31, 2022, our net financial instrument position was a 
net liability of $4.6 million compared to a net asset of $19.4 million 
at December 31, 2021. The change in the net financial instrument 
position was primarily due to exchange and interest rate fluctuations 
in our foreign exchange interest rate portfolios.

Since our risk management programs are generally highly effective, the 
potential loss in value for each risk management portfolio described below 
would be largely offset by changes in the value of the underlying exposure.

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 December 31, 2022 
and 2021, with all other variables (including interest rates) held constant.

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. 
In the quarter ended December 31, 2022, we had outstanding interest rate 
swap contracts in place with an aggregate notional value of $200.0 million.

To analyze the effects of changing interest rates, we have performed a 
sensitivity analysis in which we assume an instantaneous one percent 
change in the interest rates from their levels at December 31, 2022 and 
2021, with all other variables held constant.

Our debt portfolio at December 31, 2022 is composed of 62 percent 
fixed-rate debt and 38 percent variable-rate debt. The variable-rate component 
of our debt portfolio principally consists of borrowings under our 2021 
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.

38

Based on the variable-rate debt in our debt portfolio at December 31, 2022, 
a one percentage point increase in interest rates would have increased gross 
interest expense by $12.4 million and a one percentage point decrease in 
interest rates would have decreased gross interest expense by $12.4 million 
for the year ended December 31, 2022.

NOTE 1  Principal Accounting Policies and Related Financial Information

Nature of operations

We are a global agricultural sciences company dedicated to helping 
growers produce food, feed, fiber and fuel for an expanding world 
population while adapting to a changing environment. We operate in 
a single distinct business segment and develop, market and sell all three 
major classes of crop protection chemicals: insecticides, herbicides and 
fungicides, as well as biologicals, crop nutrition, and seed treatment 
products, which we group as plant health, and digital and precision 
agriculture. 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.

Basis of consolidation and basis of presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of FMC 
Corporation and its subsidiaries were prepared in accordance with 
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 
(“U.S. GAAP”). Our consolidated financial statements include the 
accounts of FMC and all entities that we directly or indirectly control. 
All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated 
in consolidation.

current collection trends, and external business factors such as economic 
factors, including regional bankruptcy rates, and political factors. Our 
analysis of trade receivable collection risk is performed quarterly, and 
the allowance is adjusted accordingly. 

We also hold long-term receivables that represent long-term customer 
receivable balances related to past-due accounts which are not expected 
to be collected within the current year. Our policy for the review of 
the allowance for these receivables is consistent with the discussion 
in the preceding paragraph above on trade receivables. Therefore on 
an ongoing basis, we continue to evaluate the credit quality of our 
long-term receivables utilizing aging of receivables, collection experience 
and write-offs, as well as existing economic conditions, to determine 
if an additional allowance is necessary.

The allowance for trade receivables was $33.9 million and $37.4 million 
as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The allowance for 
long-term receivables was $44.5 million and $27.7 million at December 
31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The provision to the allowance for 
receivables charged against operations was $(0.5) million, $21.1 million 
and $4.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 
2020, respectively. See Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements 
included within this Form 10-K for more information. 

Estimates and assumptions

Investments

In preparing the financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP we 
are required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported 
amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets 
and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported 
amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual 
results are likely to differ from those estimates, but we do not believe 
such differences will materially affect our financial position, results of 
operations or cash flows.

Cash equivalents

We consider investments in all liquid debt instruments with original 
maturities of 3 months or less to be cash equivalents.

Trade receivables, net of allowance

Trade receivables consist of amounts owed to us from customer sales 
and are recorded when revenue is recognized. The allowance for trade 
receivables represents our best estimate of the probable losses associated 
with potential customer defaults. In developing our allowance for trade 
receivables, we use a two-stage process which includes calculating a 
general formula to develop an allowance to appropriately address the 
uncertainty surrounding collection risk of our entire portfolio and 
specific allowances for customers where the risk of collection has been 
reasonably identified either due to liquidity constraints or disputes 
over contractual terms and conditions. Our methodology considers 
current economic conditions as well as forward-looking expectations 
about expected credit loss. 

Our method of calculating the general formula consists of estimating 
the recoverability of trade receivables based on historical experience, 

Investments in companies in which our ownership interest is 50 percent 
or less and in which we exercise significant influence over operating and 
financial policies are accounted for using the equity method. Under the 
equity method, original investments are recorded at cost and adjusted 
by our share of undistributed earnings and losses of these investments. 
Majority owned investments in which our control is restricted are also 
accounted for using the equity method. As of December 31, 2022 
and 2021 we do not own any equity method investments. All other 
investments are carried at their fair values or at cost, as appropriate 
and are not material to our consolidated financial statements. In June 
2020, we launched FMC Ventures, our venture capital arm targeting 
strategic investments in start-ups and early-stage companies that are 
developing and applying emerging technologies in the agricultural 
industry. The accounting guidance requires these nonmarketable equity 
securities to be recorded at cost and adjusted to fair value each reporting 
period. However, the guidance allows for a measurement alternative, 
which is to record the investment at cost, less impairment, if any, and 
subsequently adjust for observable price changes. Each reporting period, 
we review the portfolio for any observable price changes or potential 
indicators of impairment. At December 31, 2022, our investments 
made through FMC Ventures individually and in the aggregate are 
not significant to our financial results. 

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Inventory 
costs include those costs directly attributable to products before sale, 
including all manufacturing overhead but excluding distribution 
costs. All inventories are determined on a first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) 
basis. Effective July 1, 2022, we changed our accounting principle 
for inventory valuation for inventories located in the U.S. from a 

47

FMC CORPORATION - Form 10-KPART II  
ITEM 8 Financial Statements and Supplementary Data

last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) basis to a first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) basis. 
See more on detailed breakout of new method below within Note 1 
Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information of the 
effect of the change. Also see Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial 
Statements included within this Form 10-K for more information.

Property, plant and equipment

We record property, plant and equipment, including capitalized interest, 
at cost. We recognize acquired property, plant and equipment, from 
acquisitions at its estimated fair value. Depreciation is provided principally 
on the straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets 
(land improvements — 20 years, buildings and building equipment 
— 15 to 40 years, and machinery and equipment — 3 to 18 years). 
Gains and losses are reflected in income upon sale or retirement of 
assets. Expenditures that extend the useful lives of property, plant and 
equipment or increase productivity are capitalized. Ordinary repairs 
and maintenance are expensed as incurred through operating expense.

Capitalized interest

We capitalized interest costs of $5.6 million, $3.4 million, and 
$3.5 million in 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively. These costs were 
primarily associated with the construction of certain long-lived assets 
and have been capitalized as part of the cost of those assets. We amortize 
capitalized interest over the assets’ estimated useful lives.

Restructuring and other charges

We continually perform strategic reviews and assess the return on our 
business. This sometimes results in a plan to restructure the operations 
of our business. We record an accrual for severance and other exit costs 
under the provisions of the relevant accounting guidance.

Additionally, as part of these restructuring plans, write-downs of 
long-lived assets may occur. Two types of assets are impacted: assets 
to be disposed of by sale and assets to be abandoned. Assets to be 
disposed of by sale are measured at the lower of carrying amount or 
estimated net proceeds from the sale. Assets to be abandoned with 
no remaining future service potential are written down to amounts 
expected to be recovered. The useful life of assets to be abandoned that 
have a remaining future service potential are adjusted and depreciation 
is recorded over the adjusted useful life.

Capitalized software

We capitalize the costs of internal use software in accordance with 
accounting literature which generally requires the capitalization of certain 
costs incurred to develop or obtain internal use software. We assess 
the recoverability of capitalized software costs on an ongoing basis and 
record write-downs to fair value as necessary. We amortize capitalized 
software costs over expected useful lives ranging from 3 to 10 years. 
See Note 22 to the consolidated financial statements included within 
this Form 10-K for the net unamortized computer software balances.

Impairments of long-lived assets

Goodwill and intangible assets

We review the recovery of the net book value of long-lived assets whenever 
events and circumstances indicate that the net book value of an asset 
may not be recoverable from the estimated undiscounted future cash 
flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition. In cases 
where undiscounted expected future cash flows are less than the net 
book value, we recognize an impairment loss equal to an amount by 
which the net book value exceeds the fair value of the asset. Long-lived 
assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying amount 
or fair value less cost to sell.

Asset retirement obligations

We record asset retirement obligations (“AROs”) at fair value at the time 
the liability is incurred if we can reasonably estimate the settlement date. 
The associated AROs are capitalized as part of the carrying amount of 
related long-lived assets. In future periods, the liability is accreted to 
its present value and the capitalized cost is depreciated over the useful 
life of the related asset. We also adjust the liability for changes resulting 
from the passage of time and/or revisions to the timing or the amount 
of the original estimate. Upon retirement of the long-lived asset, we 
either settle the obligation for its recorded amount or incur a gain or loss. 

We have obligations at the majority of our manufacturing facilities in 
the event of permanent plant shutdown. For certain AROs not already 
accrued, we have calculated the fair value of these AROs and concluded 
that the present value of these obligations was inconsequential at 
December 31, 2022 and 2021.

The carrying amounts for the AROs for the years ended December 31, 
2022 and 2021 are $16.0 million and $24.2 million, respectively. 
These amounts are included in “Accrued and other liabilities” and 
“Other long-term liabilities” on the consolidated balance sheet. 

Goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets are not subject to 
amortization. Instead, they are subject to at least an annual assessment 
for impairment by applying a fair value-based test.

We test goodwill and indefinite life intangibles for impairment annually 
using the criteria prescribed by U.S. GAAP accounting guidance for 
goodwill and other intangible assets. Based upon our annual impairment 
assessments conducted in 2022, 2021 and 2020, we did not record 
any goodwill or intangible asset impairments. 

Finite-lived intangible assets consist of primarily customer relationships 
as well as patents, brands, registration rights, industry licenses, and 
other intangibles and are generally being amortized over periods of 
approximately 3 to 20 years. See Note 6 to the consolidated financial 
statements included within this Form 10-K for additional information 
on goodwill and intangible assets.

Revenue recognition

We recognize revenue when (or as) we satisfy our performance obligation 
which is when the customer obtains control of the good or service. 
Rebates due to customers are accrued as a reduction of revenue in the 
same period that the related sales are recorded based on the contract 
terms. Refer to Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements included 
within this Form 10-K for further details.

We record amounts billed for shipping and handling fees as revenue. 
Costs incurred for shipping and handling are recorded as costs of sales 
and services. Amounts billed for sales and use taxes, value-added taxes, 
and certain excise and other specific transactional taxes imposed on 
revenue-producing transactions are presented on a net basis and excluded 
from sales in the consolidated income statements. We record a liability 
until remitted to the respective taxing authority.

48

FMC CORPORATION - Form 10-KWe periodically enter into prepayment arrangements with customers 
and receive advance payments for product to be delivered in future 
periods. These advance payments are recorded as deferred revenue and 
classified as “Advance payments from customers” on the consolidated 
balance sheet. Revenue associated with advance payments is recognized as 
shipments are made and transfer of control to the customer takes place.

Research and development

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. In-process 
research and development acquired as part of asset acquisitions, which 
include license and development agreements, are expensed as incurred 
and included as a component of “Restructuring and other charges 
(income)” on the consolidated statements of income (loss).

Income and other taxes

We provide current income taxes on income reported for financial 
statement purposes adjusted for transactions that do not enter into 
the computation of income taxes payable. We recognize deferred 
tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of 
temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax basis 
of assets and liabilities. We have not provided income taxes for other 
outside basis differences inherent in our investments in subsidiaries 
because the investments and related unremitted earnings are essentially 
permanent in duration or we have concluded that no additional tax 
liability will arise upon disposal or remittance.

Foreign currency

We translate the assets and liabilities of our foreign operations at exchange 
rates in effect at the balance sheet date. For foreign operations for which 
the functional currency is not the U.S. dollar we record translation 
gains and losses as a component of accumulated other comprehensive 
income (loss) in equity. The foreign operations’ income statements are 
translated at the monthly exchange rates for the period. 

We record remeasurement gains and losses on monetary assets and 
liabilities, such as accounts receivables and payables, which are not in 
the functional currency of the operation. These remeasurement gains 
and losses are recorded in income as they occur. We generally enter 
into foreign currency contracts to mitigate the financial risk associated 
with these transactions. See “Derivative financial instruments” below 
and Note 19 to the consolidated financial statements included within 
this Form 10-K.

Derivative financial instruments

We mitigate certain financial exposures, including currency risk, interest 
rate risk and to a lesser extent commodity price exposures, through 
a controlled program of risk management that includes the use of 
derivative financial instruments when applicable. We enter into foreign 
exchange contracts, including forward and purchased option contracts, 
to reduce the effects of fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates.

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 either a hedge of the variability of cash flows to be 
received or paid related to a forecasted transaction (cash flow hedge) 

PART II  
ITEM 8 Financial Statements and Supplementary Data

or a hedge of the fair value of a recognized asset or liability or of an 
unrecognized firm commitment (fair value hedge). We record in 
accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) 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. We record 
immediately in earnings changes in the fair value of derivatives that 
are not designated as cash flow hedges.

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 formally assess, both at the inception 
of the hedge and throughout its term, whether each derivative is highly 
effective in offsetting changes in fair value 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. 

Treasury stock

We record shares of common stock repurchased at cost as treasury stock, 
resulting in a reduction of stockholders’ equity in the consolidated 
balance sheets. When the treasury shares are contributed under our 
employee benefit plans or issued for option exercises, we use a FIFO 
method for determining cost. The difference between the cost of the 
shares and the market price at the time of contribution to an employee 
benefit plan is added to or deducted from the related capital in excess 
of par value of common stock.

Segment information

We operate as a single business segment providing innovative solutions 
to growers around the world. The business is supported by global 
corporate staff functions. The determination of a single segment is 
consistent with the financial information regularly reviewed by the 
chief executive officer for purposes of evaluating performance, allocating 
resources, setting incentive compensation targets and both planning and 
forecasting future periods. Refer to Note 3 to the consolidated financial 
statements included within this Form 10-K for further information 
on product and regional revenues.

Geographic long-lived assets include goodwill and other intangibles, 
net, property, plant and equipment, net and other non-current assets. 
Refer to Note 21 to the consolidated financial statements included 
within this Form 10-K for further details.

Stock compensation plans

We recognize compensation expense in the financial statements for 
all share options and other equity-based arrangements. Share-based 
compensation cost is measured at the date of grant, based on the fair 
value of the award, and is recognized over the employee’s requisite 
service period. See Note 16 to the consolidated financial statements 
included within this Form 10-K for further discussion on our 
share-based compensation.

Environmental obligations

We provide for environmental-related obligations when they are 
probable and amounts can be reasonably estimated. Where the available 
information is sufficient to estimate the amount of liability, that estimate 
has been used. Where the information is only sufficient to establish a 
range of probable liability and no point within the range is more likely 
than any other, the lower end of the range has been used.

Estimated obligations to remediate sites that involve oversight by the 
United States Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”), or similar 
government agencies, are generally accrued no later than when a Record 
of Decision (“ROD”), or equivalent, is issued, or upon completion of 
a Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study (“RI/FS”), or equivalent, 
that is submitted by us and the appropriate government agency or 
agencies. Estimates are reviewed quarterly and, if necessary, adjusted 
as additional information becomes available. The estimates can change 
substantially as additional information becomes available regarding the 
nature or extent of site contamination, required remediation methods, 
and other actions by or against governmental agencies or private parties.

Our environmental liabilities for continuing and discontinued operations 
are principally for costs associated with the remediation and/or study 
of sites at which we are alleged to have released hazardous substances 
into the environment. Such costs principally include, among other 
items, RI/FS, site remediation, costs of operation and maintenance of 
the remediation plan, management costs, fees to outside law firms and 
consultants for work related to the environmental effort, and future 
monitoring costs. Estimated site liabilities are determined based upon 
existing remediation laws and technologies, specific site consultants’ 
engineering studies or by extrapolating experience with environmental 
issues at comparable sites.

Included in our environmental liabilities are costs for the operation, 
maintenance and monitoring (“OM&M”) of site remediation plans. Such 
reserves are based on our best estimates for these OM&M plans. Over 
time we may incur OM&M costs in excess of these reserves. However, 
we are unable to reasonably estimate an amount in excess of our recorded 
reserves because we cannot reasonably estimate the period for which 
such OM&M plans will need to be in place or the future annual cost 
of such remediation, as conditions at these environmental sites change 
over time. Such additional OM&M costs could be significant in total 
but would be incurred over an extended period of years.

Included in the environmental reserve balance, other assets balance and 
disclosure of reasonably possible loss contingencies are amounts from 
third-party insurance policies which we believe are probable of recovery.

Provisions for environmental costs are reflected in income, net of probable 
and estimable recoveries from named Potentially Responsible Parties 
(“PRPs”) or other third parties. All of our environmental provisions 
incorporate inflation and are not discounted to their present value, 
other than our reserve for our Pocatello Tribal Matter. We remeasure 
this discounted liability balance according to current interest rates. See 
Note 12 to the consolidated financial statements included within this 
Form 10-K for further information. 

In calculating and evaluating the adequacy of our environmental reserves, 
we have taken into account the joint and several liability imposed by 
Comprehensive Environmental Remediation, Compensation and 
Liability Act (“CERCLA”) and the analogous state laws on all PRPs 

and have considered the identity and financial condition of the other 
PRPs at each site to the extent possible. We have also considered the 
identity and financial condition of other third parties from whom 
recovery is anticipated, as well as the status of our claims against such 
parties. Although we are unable to forecast the ultimate contributions 
of PRPs and other third parties with absolute certainty, the degree of 
uncertainty with respect to each party is taken into account when 
determining the environmental reserve on a site-by-site basis. Our 
liability includes our best estimate of the costs expected to be paid 
before the consideration of any potential recoveries from third parties. 
We believe that any recorded recoveries related to PRPs are realizable 
in all material respects. Recoveries are recorded as either an offset in 
“Environmental liabilities, continuing and discontinued” or as “Other 
assets including long-term receivables, net” in our consolidated balance 
sheets in accordance with U.S. accounting literature.

Pension and other postretirement benefits

We provide qualified and nonqualified defined benefit and defined 
contribution pension plans, as well as postretirement health care 
and life insurance benefit plans to our employees and retirees. The 
costs (or benefits) and obligations related to these benefits reflect key 
assumptions related to general economic conditions, including interest 
(discount) rates, healthcare cost trend rates, expected rates of return on 
plan assets and the rates of compensation increase for employees. The 
costs (or benefits) and obligations for these benefit programs are also 
affected by other assumptions, such as average retirement age, mortality, 
employee turnover, and plan participation. To the extent our plans’ 
actual experience, as influenced by changing economic and financial 
market conditions or by changes to our own plans’ demographics, 
differs from these assumptions, the costs and obligations for providing 
these benefits, as well as the plans’ funding requirements, could increase 
or decrease. When actual results differ from our assumptions, the 
difference is typically recognized over future periods. In addition, the 
unrealized gains and losses related to our pension and postretirement 
benefit obligations may also affect periodic benefit costs (or benefits) 
in future periods. See Note 15 to the consolidated financial statements 
included within this Form 10-K for additional information relating to 
pension and other postretirement benefits.

Change in accounting principles

In the third quarter of 2022, we made the following changes to our 
accounting principles:
	• Change in accounting principle for inventory costing 
	• Change in accounting principle for net periodic benefit cost 

The effects of the above changes in accounting principle have been 
retrospectively applied to all periods presented and as such certain 
prior period financial statement line items have been adjusted. The 
cumulative effect of these changes in accounting principle, on periods 
prior to those presented, resulted in an increase of $97.6 million to 
retained earnings and $6.6 million to accumulated other comprehensive 
income (losses) as of December 31, 2019, which is the earliest period 
presented in the consolidated statements of changes in equity.

FMC CORPORATION - Form 10-KPART II  
ITEM 8 Financial Statements and Supplementary Data

impacting our net periodic benefit cost. The market-related value is 
used to determine both the expected return on plan assets and the 
amortization of net unamortized actuarial gains or losses expense 
components of net periodic benefit cost which are reflected on the 
Non-operating pension and postretirement income (charges) line on the 
consolidated statements of income (loss). Previously, to calculate the 
expected return on plan assets and the amortization of net unamortized 
actuarial gains or losses expense components, we deferred asset gains 
and losses into the market-related value of assets (“MRVA”) over a 
five year period.

We changed our method of accounting to the fair value approach 
for our liability-hedging asset class, which does not involve deferring 
the impact of excess plan asset gains or losses in the determination 
of these two components of net periodic benefit cost. No change is 
being made to the accounting principle for the other classes of pension 
assets; however our U.S. qualified pension plan reached fully funded 
status during 2018 and since that point the portfolio has been 100 
percent fixed income securities and cash. Given the Plan’s investment 
strategy, we believe this approach is preferable as it more closely aligns 
the expected return on plan assets and amortization of net actuarial 
and other gain and loss expense components with the value reflected 
in the Plan’s funded status.

Change in accounting principle for valuing inventory 
costing

On July 1, 2022, we changed our method for inventory costing from 
the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) cost method to the first-in, first-out 
(“FIFO”) cost method for inventory in the United States, which 
were the only operations that were using the LIFO cost method. All 
inventories outside the United States were already accounted for on 
the FIFO method. We believe this change in accounting method is 
preferable as it:
	• is consistent with how we manage our business
	• results in a uniform method to value our inventory across all regions 
of our business
	• is expected to better reflect the current value of inventory on the 
consolidated balance sheets and;
	• is on a more comparable basis with the majority of our industry 
peer companies

Prior to the change in method, inventories valued on the LIFO cost 
method were approximately 38% of our total inventories.

Change in accounting principle for determining net 
periodic benefit cost

On July 1, 2022, we also changed our method of accounting for 
the determination of the market-related value of assets for a class 
of assets within the qualified U.S. defined benefit plan (“the Plan”),

During the height of the COVID pandemic, many countries, including 
the United States, subsequently imposed restrictions on both travel 
and business closures in an effort to mitigate the spread of COVID. 
As an agricultural sciences company, we are considered an “essential” 
industry in the countries in which we operate and have avoided 
significant plant closures and all our manufacturing facilities and 
distribution warehouses are operational. The extent to which COVID 

will continue to impact us will depend on future developments, many 
of which remain uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, 
including the duration of the pandemic, further actions to be taken 
to contain the pandemic or mitigate its impact, and the extent of the 
direct and indirect economic effects of the pandemic and containment 
measures, among others.

PART II  
ITEM 8 Financial Statements and Supplementary Data

New accounting guidance and regulatory items

In September 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) 
issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2022-04, Liabilities—
Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50): Disclosure of Supplier 
Finance Program Obligations. This ASU enhances the transparency 
of supplier finance programs and their effect on working capital, 
liquidity, and cash flows. The new standard is effective for fiscal years 
beginning after December 15, 2022 (i.e. a January 1, 2023 effective 
date), including interim periods within those years. The amendments 
in the ASU should be applied retrospectively to all periods in which a 
balance sheet is presented, except for the amendment on rollforward 
information, which should be applied prospectively. A select group of 
our suppliers participate in a voluntary Supply Chain Finance (“SCF”) 
program with a global financial institution. The suppliers, at their 
sole discretion, may sell their receivables to the financial institution 
based on terms negotiated between them. Our obligations to our 
suppliers are not impacted by our suppliers’ decisions to sell under these 
arrangements. Agreements under these supplier financing programs are 
recorded within Accounts payable, trade and other in our consolidated 
balance sheets and the associated payments are included in operating 
activities within our consolidated statements of cash flows. While the 
amendments in this ASU will impact disclosure requirements, they 
do not affect the recognition, measurement, or financial statement 
presentation of obligations covered by our SCF programs.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform 
(Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on 
Financial Reporting, to provide optional guidance for a limited period 
of time to ease the potential burden in accounting for contracts and 
hedging relationships affected by reference rate reform. This applies 

NOTE 3  Revenue Recognition 

Disaggregation of revenue

to contracts that reference LIBOR or another rate that is expected to 
be discontinued as a result of rate reform and have modified terms 
that affect or have the potential to affect the amount and timing of 
contractual cash flows resulting from the discontinuance of reference 
rate. In December 2022, the FASB finalized ASU 2022-06, Reference 
Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848, 
which defers the sunset date for Topic 848 from December 31, 2022, 
to December 31, 2024. This standard amends the definition of the 
SOFR Swap Rate under Topic 815 so that it is not limited to the OIS 
rate based on SOFR and includes other rates based on SOFR. These 
amendments were effective immediately on issuance and should be 
applied prospectively. We are evaluating the impacts this standard 
will have on accounting for contracts and hedging relationships but 
do not believe it will have a material impact on our consolidated 
financial statements.

Recently adopted accounting guidance

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income 
Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. The 
amendments in this ASU simplify the accounting for income taxes 
by removing certain exceptions and simplification in several other 
areas. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after 
December 15, 2020 (i.e., a January 1, 2021 effective date). There 
were no material impacts to the consolidated financial statements 
upon adoption, but amendments will be applied prospectively if 
applicable to FMC.

We disaggregate revenue from contracts with customers by geographical areas and major product categories. We have three major agricultural 
product categories: insecticides, herbicides, and fungicides. Additionally, this table includes plant health, which is a growing part of our business. 
The disaggregated revenue tables are shown below for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020.

We earn revenue from the sale of a wide range of products to a 
diversified base of customers around the world. We develop, market and 
sell all three major classes of crop protection chemicals (insecticides, 
herbicides and fungicides) as well as biologicals, crop nutrition, and 
seed treatment products, which we group as plant health. These 
products are used in agriculture to enhance crop yield and quality 
by controlling a broad spectrum of insects, weeds and disease, as well 
as in non-agricultural markets for pest control. The majority of our 

product lines consist of insecticides and herbicides, with a smaller 
portfolio of fungicides mainly used in high value crop segments. We 
are investing in plant health which includes our growing biological 
products. Our insecticides are used to control a wide spectrum of 
pests, while our herbicide portfolio primarily targets a large variety 
of difficult-to-control weeds. Products in the other category include 
various agricultural products such as smaller classes of pesticides, 
growth promoters, and other miscellaneous revenue sources. 

Sale of Goods

Revenue from product sales is recognized when (or as) we satisfy 
a performance obligation by transferring the promised goods to a 
customer, that is, when control of the good transfers to the customer. 
The customer is then invoiced at the agreed-upon price with payment 
terms generally ranging from 30 to 90 days, with some regions 
providing terms longer than 90 days. We do not typically give 
payment terms that exceed 360 days; however, in certain geographical 
regions such as Latin America, these terms may be given in limited 
circumstances. Additionally, a timing difference of over one year can 
exist between when products are delivered to the customer and when 
payment is received from the customer in these regions; however, 
the effect of these sales is not material to the financial statements 
as a whole. Furthermore, we have assessed the circumstances and 
arrangements in these regions and determined that the contracts with 
these customers do not contain a significant financing component. 

In determining when the control of goods is transferred, we typically 
assess, among other things, the transfer of risk and title and the 
shipping terms of the contract. The transfer of title and risk typically 

occurs either upon shipment to the customer or upon receipt by the 
customer. As such, we typically recognize revenue when goods are 
shipped based on the relevant Incoterm for the product order, or in 
some regions, when delivery to the customer’s requested destination 
has occurred. When we perform shipping and handling activities after 
the transfer of control to the customer (e.g., when control transfers 
prior to delivery), they are considered as fulfillment activities, and 
accordingly, the costs are accrued for when the related revenue is 
recognized. For FOB shipping point terms, revenue is recognized 
at the time of shipment since the customer gains control at this 
point in time.

We record amounts billed for shipping and handling fees as revenue. 
Costs incurred for shipping and handling are recorded as costs of 
sales and services. Amounts billed for sales and use taxes, value-added 
taxes, and certain excise and other specific transactional taxes imposed 
on revenue-producing transactions are presented on a net basis 
and excluded from sales in the consolidated income statements. 
We record a liability until remitted to the respective taxing authority.

Sales Incentives and Other Variable Considerations

As a part of our customary business practice, we offer a number of 
sales incentives to our customers including volume discounts, retailer 
incentives, and prepayment options. The variable considerations 
given can differ by products, support levels and other eligibility 
criteria. For all such contracts that include any variable consideration, 
we estimate the amount of variable consideration that should be 
included in the transaction price utilizing either the expected value 
method or the most likely amount method depending on the nature 
of the variable consideration. Variable consideration is included 
in the transaction price if, in our judgment, it is probable that a 
significant future reversal of cumulative revenue under the contract 
will not occur. Although determining the transaction price for these 

considerations requires significant judgment, we have significant 
historical experience with incentives provided to customers and 
estimate the expected consideration considering historical patterns 
of incentive payouts. These estimates are reassessed each reporting 
period as required.

In addition to the variable considerations described above, in certain 
instances, we may require our customers to meet certain volume 
thresholds within their contract term. We estimate what amount of 
variable consideration should be included in the transaction price 
at contract inception and continually reassess this estimation each 
reporting period to determine situations when the minimum volume 
thresholds will not be met.

Right of Return

We extend an assurance warranty offering customers a right of refund or 
exchange in case delivered product does not conform to specifications. 
Additionally, in certain regions and arrangements, we may offer a right 
of return for a specified period. Both instances are accounted for as 
a right of return and transaction price is adjusted for an estimate of 

expected returns. Replacement products are accounted for under the 
warranty guidance if the customer exchanges one product for another of 
the same kind, quality, and price. We have significant experience with 
historical return patterns and use this experience to include returns in 
the estimate of transaction price.

Contract Asset and Contract Liability Balances

We satisfy our obligations by transferring goods and services in 
exchange for consideration from customers. The timing of performance 
sometimes differs from the timing the associated consideration is 
received from the customer, thus resulting in the recognition of a 

contract asset or contract liability. We recognize a contract liability if 
the customer’s payment of consideration is received prior to completion 
of our related performance obligation.

The following table presents the opening and closing balances of our receivables, net of allowances and contract liabilities from contracts with 
customers:

(in Millions)

The amount of revenue recognized in the year ended December 31, 2022 that was included in the opening contract liability balance was $630.7 million.

The balance of receivables from contracts with customers listed in 
the table above include both current trade receivables and long-term 
receivables, net of allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance for 
receivables represents our best estimate of the probable losses associated 
with potential customer defaults. We determine the allowance based on 
historical experience, current collection trends, and external business 
factors such as economic factors, including regional bankruptcy rates, 
and political factors. The change in allowance for doubtful accounts for 
both current trade receivables and long-term receivables is representative 
of the impairment of receivables as of December 31, 2022. Refer to 
Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements included within this 
Form 10-K for further information.

We periodically enter into prepayment arrangements with customers 
and receive advance payments for product to be delivered in future 
periods. Prepayment terms are extended to customers/distributors in 

order to capitalize on surplus cash with growers. Growers receive bulk 
payments for their produce, which they leverage to buy our products 
from distributors through prepayment options. This in turn creates 
opportunity for distributors to make large prepayments to us for securing 
the future supply of products to be sold to growers. Prepayments are 
typically received in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year, and are for the 
following marketing year indicating that the time difference between 
prepayment and performance of corresponding performance obligations 
does not exceed one year. 

We recognize these prepayments as a liability under “Advance payments 
from customers” on the consolidated balance sheets when they are 
received. Revenue associated with advance payments is recognized as 
shipments are made and transfer of control to the customer takes place. 
Advance payments from customers was $630.7 million as of December 
31, 2021 and $680.5 million as of December 31, 2022.

Performance Obligations

At contract inception, we assess the goods and services promised in 
our contracts with customers and identify a performance obligation 
for each promise to transfer a good or service (or bundle of goods or 
services) that is distinct. To identify the performance obligations, we 
consider all the goods or services promised in the contract, whether 
explicitly stated or implied based on customary business practices. 
Based on our evaluation, we have determined that our current contracts 
do not contain more than one performance obligation. Revenue 
is recognized when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied, 
which is when the customer obtains control of the good or service.

Periodically, we may enter into contracts with customers which require 
them to submit a forecast of non-binding purchase obligations to 
us. These forecasts are typically provided by the customer to us in 
good faith, and there are no penalties or obligations if the forecasts 
are not met. Accordingly, we have determined that these are optional 

purchases and do not represent material rights and are not considered 
as unsatisfied (or partially satisfied) performance obligations for the 
purposes of this disclosure. 

In separate and less common circumstances, we may have contracts 
with customers which have binding purchase requirements for 
just one quarter of their annual forecasts. Additionally, as noted in 
the Contract Liabilities section above, we periodically enter into 
agricultural prepayment arrangements with customers, and receive 
advance payments for product to be delivered in future periods within 
one year. We have elected not to disclose the aggregate amount of 
the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations 
for these two types of contracts as they have an expected duration of 
one year or less and the revenue is expected to be recognized within 
the next year.

Other Arrangements
Data Licensing

We sometimes grant to third parties a license and right to rely upon 
pesticide regulatory data filed with government agencies. Such licenses 
allow a licensee to cite and rely upon our data in connection with the 
licensee’s application for pesticide registrations as required by law; 
these licenses can be granted through contract or through a mandatory 
statutory license, depending on circumstances. In the most common 
occurrence, when a license is embedded in a contract for supply of 
pesticide active ingredient from us to the licensee, the license grant 
is not considered as distinct from other promised goods or services. 
Accordingly, all promises are treated as a single performance obligation 
and revenue is recognized at a point when the control of the pesticide 
products is transferred to the licensee-customer. In the less frequent 
occurrence, when the license and right to use data is granted without 
a supply contract, we account for the revenue attributable to the data 
license as a performance obligation satisfied at a single point in time 
and recognize revenue on the effective date of such contract. Finally, 
in those circumstance of mandatory data licensing by statute, such as 
under U.S. pesticide law, we recognize the data compensation upon the 
effective date of the data compensation settlement agreement. Payment 
terms for these arrangements may vary by contract.

Service Arrangements

In limited cases, we engage in providing certain tolling services, 
such as filling and packing services using raw and packing materials 
supplied by the customer. However, as a result of the DuPont Crop 
Protection Business Acquisition, on November 1, 2017, we entered 
into an agreement with DuPont to provide tolling services to one 
another for up to five years from the acquisition date, which expired on 
October 31, 2022. Depending on the nature of the tolling services, we 
determine the appropriate method of satisfaction of the performance 
obligation, which may be the input or output method. Compared 
to other goods and services provided by us, service arrangements do 
not represent a significant portion of sales each year. Payment terms 
for service arrangements may vary by contract; however, payment is 
typically due within 30 days of the invoice date.

NOTE 4  Leases 

Practical Expedients and Exemptions

We have elected the following practical expedients following the 
adoption of ASC 606: 

(a)  Costs of obtaining a contract: FMC incurs certain costs such 
as sales commissions which are incremental to obtaining the 
contract. We have taken the practical expedient of expensing 
such costs to obtain a contract, as and when they are incurred, 
as their expected amortization period is one year or less. 
(b)  Significant financing component: We elected not to adjust the 
promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant 
financing component if FMC expects, at contract inception, that 
the period between the transfer of a promised good or service to 
a customer and when the customer pays for that good or service 
will be one year or less.

(c)  Remaining performance obligations: We elected not to disclose 
the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining 
performance obligations for its contracts that are one year or less, as the 
revenue is expected to be recognized within one year. Additionally, we 
have elected not to disclose information about variable considerations 
for remaining, wholly unsatisfied performance obligations for which 
the criteria in paragraph 606-10-32-40 have been met.

(d)  Shipping and handling costs: We elected to account for shipping 
and handling activities that occur after the customer has obtained 
control of a good as fulfillment activities (i.e., an expense) rather 
than as a promised service.

(e)  Measurement of transaction price: We have elected to exclude 
from the measurement of transaction price all taxes assessed by a 
governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent 
with a specific revenue-producing transaction and collected by 
us from a customer.

We lease office space, vehicles and other equipment under non-cancellable 
leases with initial terms typically ranging from 1 to 20 years, with some 
leases having terms greater than 20 years. Our lease portfolio includes 
agreements with renewal options, purchase options and clauses for early 
termination based on the terms specific to the agreement.

At contract inception, we review the facts and circumstances of the 
arrangement to determine if the contract is a lease. We follow the guidance 
in ASC 842-10-15 and consider the following: whether the contract has 
an identified asset; if we have the right to obtain substantially all economic 
benefits from the asset; and if we have the right to direct the use of the 
underlying asset. When determining if a contract has an identified asset, 
we consider both explicit and implicit assets, and whether the supplier has 
the right to substitute the asset. When determining if we have the right 
to obtain substantially all economic benefits from the asset, we consider 
the primary outputs of the identified asset throughout the period of use 
and determine if we receive greater than 90 percent of those benefits. 
When determining if we have the right to direct the use of an underlying 
asset, we consider if we have the right to direct how and for what purpose 
the asset is used throughout the period of use and if we control the 

decision-making rights over the asset. All leased assets are classified as 
operating or finance under ASC 842. The lease term is determined as 
the non-cancellable period of the lease, together with all of the following: 
periods covered by an option to extend the lease which are reasonably 
certain to be exercised, periods covered by an option to terminate the lease 
if the lessee is reasonably certain not to exercise that option, and periods 
covered by an option to extend (or not to terminate) the lease in which 
exercise of the option is controlled by the lessor. At commencement, we 
assess whether any options included in the lease are reasonably certain 
to be exercised by considering all relevant economic factors including, 
contract-based, asset-based, market-based, and company-based factors. 

To determine the present value of future minimum lease payments, 
we use the implicit rate when readily determinable or our incremental 
borrowing rate at the lease commencement date. When determining our 
incremental borrowing rate, we consider our centralized treasury function 
and our current credit profile. We then make adjustments to this rate for 
securitization, the length of the lease term, and leases denominated in 
foreign currencies. Minimum lease payments are expensed over the term 
of the lease on a straight-line basis. Some leases may require additional 

62

FMC CORPORATION - Form 10-Kcontingent or variable lease payments based on factors specific to the 
individual agreement. Variable lease payments which we are typically 
responsible for include payment of vehicle insurance, real estate taxes, 
and maintenance expenses.

Most leases within our portfolio are classified as operating leases under the 
new standard. Operating leases are included in “Other assets including 
long-term receivables, net”, “Accrued and other liabilities”, and “Other 
long-term liabilities” in our consolidated balance sheet. Operating lease 
right-of-use (“ROU”) assets are subsequently measured throughout 
the lease term at the carrying amount of the lease liability, plus initial 
direct costs, plus (minus) any prepaid (accrued) lease payments, less the 
unamortized balance of any lease incentives received. Lease expense for 
lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

PART II  
ITEM 8 Financial Statements and Supplementary Data

Operating leases relate to office spaces, IT equipment, transportation 
equipment, machinery equipment, furniture and fixtures, and plant 
and facilities under non-cancellable lease agreements. Leases primarily 
have fixed rental periods, with many of the real estate leases requiring 
additional payments for property taxes and occupancy-related costs. 
Leases for real estate typically have initial terms ranging from 1 to 20 
years, with some leases having terms greater than 20 years. Leases for 
non-real estate (transportation, IT) typically have initial terms ranging 
from 1 to 10 years. We have elected not to record short-term leases on 
the balance sheet whose term is 12 months or less and does not include 
a purchase option or extension that is reasonably certain to be exercised.

We rent or sublease a small number of assets including equipment and 
office space to third-party companies. These third-party arrangements 
include a small number of transition service arrangements from recent 
acquisitions. Rental income from all subleases is not material to our business.

On June 29, 2022 we announced a definitive agreement to acquire 
BioPhero ApS (“BioPhero”), a Denmark-based pheromone research and 
production company. The acquisition adds state-of-the-art biologically 
produced pheromone insect control technology to our product portfolio 
and R&D pipeline, underscoring our role as a leader in delivering 
innovative and sustainable crop protection solutions. The purchase 
price of approximately $193 million was primarily paid at closing on 
July 19, 2022. The acquisition, which was accounted for as a business 
combination, includes all of BioPhero’s technology, IP, supply agreements, 
employees and net assets of the business.

Purchase Price Allocation

The allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities 
assumed, including the residual amount allocated to goodwill, is based 
upon preliminary information and is subject to change within the 
measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition date) as 

additional information concerning final asset and liability valuations 
is obtained. 

The purchase price allocation is preliminary as of December 31, 2022. 
During the measurement period, if new information is obtained 
about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date, 
that would have resulted in revised estimated values of those assets 
or liabilities as of that date, we will revise the preliminary purchase 
price allocation. The effect of measurement period adjustments to the 
estimated fair values will be reflected as if the adjustments had been 
completed on the acquisition date. The impact of all changes that do 
not qualify as measurement period adjustments will be included in 
current period earnings.

The following table summarizes the consideration paid for the BioPhero 
acquisition and the amounts of the assets acquired and liabilities 
assumed as of the acquisition date, which have been allocated on a

DuPont Crop Protection Business

On November 1, 2017, pursuant to the terms and conditions set 
forth in the Transaction Agreement entered into with E. I. du Pont 
de Nemours and Company (“DuPont”), we completed the acquisition 
of certain assets relating to DuPont’s Crop Protection business and 
research and development (“R&D”) organization (the “DuPont Crop 
Protection Business”) (collectively, the “DuPont Crop Protection 
Business Acquisition”). 

The DuPont Crop Protection Business has been integrated into our 
business and has been included within our results of operations since 
the date of acquisition. 

We entered into supply agreements with DuPont, with terms of up to 
five years, to supply technical insecticide products required for their 
retained seed treatment business at cost requiring the recognition 
of unfavorable contracts at the date of acquisition. The amount 
recognized in revenue for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, 
and 2020 was approximately $82 million, $103 million, and $111 
million, respectively.

The manufacturing contracts and supply agreements discussed above 
ended on October 31, 2022 at the end of the five year term and as such, 
the unfavorable liability has been fully recognized and reduced to zero. 

Transaction-related charges

Pursuant to U.S. GAAP, costs incurred associated with acquisition 
activities are expensed as incurred. Historically, these costs have primarily 
consisted of legal, accounting, consulting, and other professional advisory 
fees associated with the preparation and execution of these activities. 
Given the significance and complexity around the integration of the 
DuPont Crop Protection Business, we have incurred costs associated 
with integrating the DuPont Crop Protection Business, which included 
planning for the termination of the transitional service agreement (“TSA”) 
as well as implementation of a new worldwide Enterprise Resource 
Planning (“ERP”) system in connection with the termination of the 
TSA, of which the majority of costs were capitalized in accordance 
with the relevant accounting literature. Transaction-related charges 
were not material in 2022 or 2021.

Our fiscal year 2022 annual goodwill and indefinite life impairment test was performed during the third quarter ended September 30, 2022. We 
determined no goodwill impairment existed and that the fair value was substantially in excess of the carrying value. Additionally, the estimated 
fair values also exceeded the carrying value for each of our indefinite-lived intangible assets. There were no events or circumstances indicating 
that goodwill or indefinite-lived intangibles might be impaired as of December 31, 2022.

DuPont Crop Restructuring 

On November 1, 2017, we completed the acquisition of the DuPont 
Crop Protection Business. See Note 5 “Acquisitions”  to the consolidated 
financial statements included within this Form 10-K for more details. As 
also discussed in Note 5, we completed the integration of the DuPont 
Crop Protection Business in 2020 except for the completion of certain 
in-flight initiatives including restructuring program efforts. For the year 
ended December 31, 2022, we recognized income of $48.7 million, 
which primarily reflects the gain recorded in the fourth quarter on the 
disposition of a manufacturing site, slightly offset by other restructuring 
charges. For the years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, 
we incurred restructuring charges of $16.7 million and $40.2 million, 
respectively, which primarily represented severance and other employee 
related costs as well as accelerated depreciation on fixed assets for the 
planned exit of certain facilities. 

During December 2022, we finalized a land transfer agreement with 
the Shanghai Municipal People’s Government. Under the terms of 
the agreement, we relinquished control of a previously shutdown 
manufacturing facility that was acquired as part of the DuPont Crop 

Protection Business and that had been operating under a state- owned 
land use certificate. Previous shutdown charges associated with closing 
this plant were included in “Restructuring and other charges (“income”)”. 
As part of the land transfer, we received cash proceeds of $50.5 million 
for the disposition of land as well as a recognition of a gain in the same 
amount that was also included in the “Restructuring and other charges 
(“income”)” line item.

Restructuring charges associated with the DuPont program are complete 
and any future charges are not expected to be material.

Regional realignment

In April 2021, we began to consolidate our EMEA regional headquarters 
to a new office location in Geneva, Switzerland. In January 2022, we 
began to consolidate our Asia Pacific operations into a single regional 
headquarters in Singapore. Restructuring charges related to regional 
realignment activities are primarily related to severance and employee 
relocation costs as well as other costs associated with the consolidation 
of these headquarters. Both transitions are substantially complete and 
any remaining future charges are not expected to be material.

Environmental charges, net

Environmental charges represent the net charges associated with 
environmental remediation at continuing operating sites. Environmental 
obligations for continuing operations primarily represent obligations at 
shut down or abandoned facilities within businesses that do not meet 
the criteria for presentation as discontinued operations.

Exit from Russian Operations

As the Russia-Ukraine war continues, our values as a company as well as 
the sanctions imposed on, and cross-sanctions imposed and announced by, 
the Russian Federation led us to cease operations and business in Russia. 
This decision was made in mid-April of 2022 when we concluded that it 
was not sustainable to continue operations. As a result of this decision, 
we recorded a charge of approximately $76.8 million during the twelve 
months ended December 31, 2022. The charge primarily consists of 
noncash asset write offs, mainly working capital as well as the value of a 
packaging and formulation facility. This charge included approximately 
$7 million of cash that was stranded and not accessible to us.

Isagro Fluindapyr Acquisition

In May 2020, we entered into a binding offer with Isagro S.p.A 
(“Isagro”) to acquire the remaining rights for Fluindapyr active ingredient 
assets from Isagro. In July 2020, we entered into an asset sale and 
purchase agreement with Isagro. On October 2, 2020, we closed on 
the transaction with a purchase price of approximately $65 million. 
Fluindapyr was jointly developed by FMC and Isagro under a 2012

research and development collaboration agreement. The transaction 
provided us with full global rights to the Fluindapyr active ingredient, 
including key U.S., European, Asian, and Latin American fungicide 
markets. The transaction transfers to FMC all intellectual property, 
know-how, registrations, product formulations and other global assets 
of the proprietary broad-spectrum fungicide molecule.

The Fluindapyr acquisition did not meet the criteria within ASC 805 to 
qualify as a business and as a result it was treated as an asset acquisition. 
Based on the current development stage of the technology, the acquired 
assets have been classified as in-process research and development. As 
part of our evaluation, we consider the current development phase of 
the molecule being acquired. Molecules that have not received formal 
regulatory approval are still considered in process due to the inherent 
uncertainty with the approval process. As a result, these assets were 
immediately expensed. While this transaction resulted in an immediate 
expense of the purchase price under the accounting rules, this acquisition 
expands our fungicide portfolio by giving us full global rights to the 
Fluindapyr active ingredient and is an important strategic addition to 
our product line. We recorded charges totaling $65.6 million in 2020, 
including transaction costs.

We have non-current receivables that represent long-term customer receivable 
balances related to past due accounts which are not expected to be collected 
within the current year. The net long-term customer receivables were $60.8 
million as of December 31, 2022. These long-term customer receivable 
balances and the corresponding allowance are included in “Other assets 
including long-term receivables, net” on the consolidated balance sheets.

A portion of these long-term receivables have payment contracts. We 
have no reason to believe payments will not be made based upon the 
credit quality of these customers. Additionally, we also hold significant 

collateral against these customers including rights to property or other 
assets as a form of credit guarantee. If the customer does not pay or gives 
indication that they will not pay, these guarantees allow us to start legal 
action to block the sale of the customer’s harvest. 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.

Receivables Securitization Facility

FMC entered into a trade receivables securitization program, primarily 
impacting our Brazilian operations during the third quarter of 2022. 
On a revolving basis, FMC may sell certain trade receivables into the 
facility in exchange for cash. A portion of the total receivables sold are 
deferred as an asset on our consolidated balance sheets representing 
FMC’s beneficial interest in the securitization fund. 

During 2022, approximately $105 million of trade receivables were 
transferred to the fund. In all instances, the transferred financial assets 
are sold on a non-recourse basis and have met the true sale criteria 
under ASC Topic 860. FMC has surrendered control of the receivables 
and as a result they will no longer be recognized on the consolidated 

balance sheets. FMC may be engaged to serve as a special servicer for 
any delinquent receivables. In that capacity, we are entitled to market 
rate compensation for those services. The approximate $11 million 
charge associated with the transfer of these financial assets is included 
as a component within selling, general and administrative expense and 
recognized during the period ended December 31, 2022.

Cash receipts totaling approximately $75 million from the sale of trade 
receivables under the securitization arrangement, received at the time 
of sale, are classified as cash flows from operating activities. During 
the third quarter of 2022, approximately $19 million of the sale was 
retained by the securitization fund and is recognized as a noncash 
investing activity. This asset is recorded within “Other assets including 
long-term receivables, net” on the consolidated balance sheets.

Other Receivable Factoring

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

We account for these transactions as true sales and as a result they will 
no longer be recognized on the consolidated balance sheets because the 

agreements transfer effective control and risk related to the receivables 
to the buyers. The net cash proceeds received are presented within cash 
provided by operating activities within our consolidated statements of 
cash flows. The cost of factoring these accounts receivables is recorded 
as an expense within the consolidated statements of income (loss) and 
has been inconsequential during each reporting period. There was 
approximately $58 million in non-recourse factoring during the year 
ended December 31, 2022.

NOTE 11  Discontinued Operations

Our discontinued operations in our financial statements include adjustments to retained liabilities from previous discontinued operations. The 
primary liabilities retained include environmental liabilities, other postretirement benefit liabilities, self-insurance, long-term obligations related

NOTE 12  Environmental Obligations

We are subject to various federal, state, local and foreign environmental 
laws and regulations that govern emissions of air pollutants, discharges 
of water pollutants, and the manufacture, storage, handling and 
disposal of hazardous substances, hazardous wastes and other toxic 
materials and remediation of contaminated sites. We are also subject 
to liabilities arising under CERCLA and similar state laws that impose 
responsibility on persons who arranged for the disposal of hazardous 
substances, and on current and previous owners and operators of a 
facility for the clean-up of hazardous substances released from the 
facility into the environment. We are also subject to liabilities under 
the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (“RCRA”) and analogous 
state laws that require owners and operators of facilities that have 
treated, stored or disposed of hazardous waste pursuant to a RCRA 
permit to follow certain waste management practices and to clean up 
releases of hazardous substances into the environment associated with 
past or present practices. In addition, when deemed appropriate, we 
enter certain sites with potential liability into voluntary remediation 
compliance programs, which are also subject to guidelines that require 
owners and operators, current and previous, to clean up releases of 
hazardous substances into the environment associated with past or 
present practices.

Environmental liabilities consist of obligations relating to waste handling 
and the remediation and/or study of sites at which we are alleged to 
have released or disposed of hazardous substances. These sites include 
current operations, previously operated sites, and sites associated with 
discontinued operations. We have provided reserves for potential 
environmental obligations that we consider probable and for which a 

reasonable estimate of the obligation can be made. Accordingly, total 
reserves of $543.1 million and $514.6 million, respectively, before 
recoveries, existed at December 31, 2022 and 2021. 

The estimated reasonably possible environmental loss contingencies, 
net of expected recoveries, exceed amounts accrued by approximately 
$200 million at December 31, 2022. 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. 

Additionally, although potential environmental remediation expenditures 
in excess of the reserves and estimated loss contingencies could be 
significant, the impact on our future consolidated financial results is 
not subject to reasonable estimation due to numerous uncertainties 
concerning the nature and scope of possible contamination at many 
sites, identification of remediation alternatives under constantly changing 
requirements, selection of new and diverse clean-up technologies to 
meet compliance standards, the timing of potential expenditures and 
the allocation of costs among PRPs as well as other third parties. The 
liabilities arising from potential environmental obligations that have 
not been reserved for at this time may be material to any one quarter’s 
or year’s results of operations in the future. However, we believe any 
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.

Significant Environmental Sites

Pocatello

From 1949 until 2001, we operated the world’s largest elemental phosphorus 
plant in Power County, Idaho, just outside the city of Pocatello. Since the 
plant’s closure, FMC has worked with the EPA, the State of Idaho, and the 
Shoshone-Bannock Tribes (“Tribes”) to develop a proposed cleanup plan 
for the property. In September 2012, the EPA issued an Interim Record 
of Decision (“IROD”) that is environmentally protective and that ensures 
the health and safety of both workers and the general public. Since the 
plant’s closure, we have successfully decommissioned our Pocatello plant, 
completed closure of the RCRA ponds and formally requested that the 
EPA acknowledge completion of work under a June 1999 RCRA Consent 
Decree. Future remediation costs include completion of the IROD that 
addresses groundwater contamination and existing waste disposal areas 

on the Pocatello plant portion of the Eastern Michaud Flats Superfund 
Site. In June 2013, the EPA issued a Unilateral Administrative Order 
to us under which we will implement the IROD remedy. Our current 
reserves factor in the estimated costs associated with implementing the 
IROD. In addition to implementing the IROD, we continue to conduct 
work pursuant to CERCLA unilateral administrative orders to address 
air emissions from beneath the cap of several of the closed RCRA ponds. 
Actions also involve impacts of the Tribal Litigation discussed below.

The amount of the reserve for this site, which includes $31.5 million for 
the Pocatello Tribal Litigation as described below, was $75.8 million and 
$79.3 million at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

72

FMC CORPORATION - Form 10-KPocatello Tribal Litigation
For a number of years, we engaged in disputes with the Tribes concerning 
their attempts to regulate our activities on the reservation. In 1998, we 
entered into an agreement that required us to pay the Tribes $1.5 million 
per year for waste generated from operating our Pocatello plant and 
stored on site. We paid $1.5 million per year until December 2001 
when the plant closed. In our view the agreement was terminated, 
as the plant was no longer generating waste. The Tribes claimed that 
the 1998 Agreement has no end date. 

FMC challenged the Tribes at various levels of several court systems 
and ultimately the petition was denied in 2021 by the United States 
Supreme Court. There was no change to our existing reserves, which 
represented the net present value of future annual permit fees, as a 
result of our denied petition.

In calculating the net present value of these future annual permit fees, 
we used a discount rate of 4.14%, which represents the appropriate 
risk-free rate. We believe that the application of this rate produces a 
result which approximates the amount that would hypothetically satisfy 
our liability in an arms-length transaction. Estimates for expenditures 
for 2022 and beyond are $1.5 million in annual fees payable each year 
thereafter. The expected aggregate undiscounted amount related to this 
matter is $75.0 million of which $31.5 million, on a discounted basis, 
has been recognized in environmental liabilities on the balance sheet. 

Middleport

Our Middleport, NY facility is currently a formulation and packaging 
plant that formerly manufactured arsenic-based and other products. As 
a result of past manufacturing operations and waste disposal practices 
at this facility, releases of hazardous substances have occurred at the site 
that have affected soil, sediment, surface water and groundwater at the 
facility’s property and also in adjacent off-site areas. The impact of our 
discontinued operations was the subject of an Administrative Order 
on Consent (“1991 AOC”) entered into with the EPA and New York 
State Department of Environmental Conservation (“NYSDEC”, and 
collectively with EPA, the “Agencies”) in 1991, which was replaced by a 
New Order on Consent and Administrative Settlement with the NYSDEC, 
effective June 6, 2019 (“2019 Order”). Like the 1991 AOC, the 2019 
Order requires us to (1) define the nature and extent of contamination 
caused by our historical plant operations, (2) take interim corrective 
measures and (3) evaluate Corrective Measure Alternatives (“CMA”) 
for discrete contaminated areas, known as operable units (“OUs”) of 
which there are 11.

We have defined the nature and extent of the contamination in certain 
areas, have constructed an engineered cover, taken certain closure actions 
regarding RCRA regulated surface water impoundments and are collecting 
and treating both surface water runoff and ground water. To date, we have 
evaluated and proposed CMAs for six of the 11 identified operable units.

Middleport Reserves
Our total reserve for the Middleport site is $108.2 million and 
$114.5 million at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. FMC 
is in various stages of evaluating the remaining operable units. The 
reserve includes the increase recorded in the fourth quarter of 2018 
for the remediation costs for OUs 2,4 and 5 in line with the drafted 
settlement terms between FMC and NYSDEC as well as our best 

PART II  
ITEM 8 Financial Statements and Supplementary Data

estimate for remediation costs associated with the operable unit that 
comprises the southern portion of the tributary (“OU 6”) plus the 
impact of inflation.

In 2022 and 2021, the Middleport settlement resulted in cash 
outflows of $11.7 million and $14.2 million respectively. In 2021, 
the final payment to reimburse NYSEC for past costs was made. In 
2023 and beyond, in accordance with the settlement agreement, 
cash outflows will not exceed an average of $10 million per year 
until the remediation is complete.

Portland Harbor

FMC is listed as a PRP is the Portland Harbor Superfund Site (“Portland 
Harbor”), that consists of the river sediment and upland area of a 
10 mile section of the Lower Willamette River in Portland, Oregon that 
runs through an industrialized area. Portland Harbor is listed on the 
federal government’s National Priorities List (“NPL”). FMC formerly 
owned and operated a manufacturing site adjacent to this section of 
the river and has since sold its interest in this discontinued business. 

FMC and several other parties have been sued by the Confederated 
Bands and Tribes of the Yakama Nation for reimbursement of cleanup 
costs and the costs of performing a natural damage assessment. Based on 
the information known to date, we are unable to develop a reasonable 
estimate of our potential exposure of loss at this time. We intend to 
defend this matter. In addition, the Portland Harbor Natural Resource 
Trustee Council (“Trustee Council”), composed of federal, state and 
tribal trustees, was formed in 2002 to develop and coordinate an 
assessment of injury to natural resources associated with the Portland 
Harbor Superfund Site, the restoration of injured natural resources 
associated with Portland Harbor, and pursue the recovery of natural 
resources damages associated with Portland Harbor. The Trustee Council 
has advised the Company that it intends to pursue litigation for the 
recovery of natural resources damages and of the costs of assessment. 
To date no lawsuit has been filed by the Trustee Council against the 
Company.

On January 6, 2017, the EPA issued its ROD for Portland Harbor. On 
December 30, 2019, FMC and EPA entered into an Administrative 
Settlement Agreement and Order on Consent to perform the remedial 
design for the area at and around FMC’s former operations. The cost 
of performing predesign investigation work and preparing the basis of 
design report is included in our reserves. Based on the current information 
available in the ROD as well as the large number of responsible parties 
for Portland Harbor, we are unable to develop a reasonable estimate 
of our potential exposure of loss for Portland Harbor at this time. 

Currently, FMC and approximately 100 other parties are involved in 
a non-judicial allocation process to determine each party’s respective 
share of the cleanup costs. Briefing on the allocation process began 
in November 2021 and the allocation process will be ongoing for 
the next two years or more under the current schedule. We intend to 
continue defending this matter vigorously. Because of this uncertainty 
related to the cost of the remedy and the potential share allocable to 
FMC, we cannot say whether the ultimate resolution of our potential 
obligations at Portland Harbor will have a material adverse effect on 
our consolidated financial position, liquidity or results of operations. 
However, adverse results in the outcome of the allocation could have 
a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results 
of operations in any one reporting period, or liquidity.

Other Potentially Responsible Party (“PRP”) Sites

In addition to Portland Harbor, we have been named a PRP at 28 sites 
on the NPL, at which our potential liability has not yet been settled. 
We have received notice from the EPA or other regulatory agencies 
that we may be a PRP, or PRP equivalent, at other sites, including 
47 sites at which we have determined that it is probable that we have 
an environmental liability for which we have recorded an estimate 
of our potential liability in the consolidated financial statements. 

In cooperation with appropriate government agencies, we are currently 
participating in, or have participated in, an RI/FS, or equivalent, 
at most of the identified sites, with the status of each investigation 
varying from site to site. At certain sites, a RI/FS has only recently 
begun, providing limited information, if any, relating to cost estimates, 
timing, or the involvement of other PRPs; whereas, at other sites, the 
studies are complete, remedial action plans have been chosen, or a 
ROD has been issued.

The effective income tax rate applicable to income from continuing operations before income taxes was different from the statutory U.S. federal 
income tax rate due to the factors listed in the following table:

Year Ended December 31,

$

(in Millions)
U.S. Federal statutory rate

TOTAL TAX PROVISION
(1)  A significant amount of our earnings is generated by our foreign subsidiaries (e.g., Singapore, Hong Kong, and Switzerland), which tax earnings at lower 
statutory rates than the United States federal statutory rate. Our future effective tax rates may be materially impacted by a future change in the composition of 
earnings from foreign and domestic tax jurisdictions.

(3)  The year ended December 31, 2022 is primarily related to net operating losses and other deferred tax assets within our Brazil and Argentina operations. The 
year ended December 31, 2021 is primarily related to net operating losses and other deferred tax assets within our Brazil and Luxembourg operations. The year 
ended December 31, 2020 is primarily related to net operating losses within our Brazil operations. 

(4)  Includes the impact of transaction gains or losses on net monetary assets for which no corresponding tax expense or benefit is realized and the tax provision for 

statutory taxable gains or losses in foreign jurisdictions for which there is no corresponding amount in income before taxes.

(5)  2022 includes a $39.7 million decrease related to the remeasurement of certain deferred tax liabilities as a result of the extension of our incentive tax rate in 

Puerto Rico. 2021 includes a $37.1 million decrease related to deferred tax liabilities associated with intercompany investments in foreign subsidiaries.

Significant components of our deferred tax assets and liabilities were attributable to:

(in Millions)
Reserves for discontinued operations, environmental and restructuring
Accrued pension and other postretirement benefits
Capital loss, foreign tax and other credit carryforwards
Net operating loss carryforwards
Deferred expenditures capitalized for tax
Other accruals and reserves
Deferred tax assets
Valuation allowance, net
Deferred tax assets, net of valuation allowance
Intangibles, Property, plant and equipment, and Investments, net
Deferred tax liabilities
NET DEFERRED TAX ASSETS (LIABILITIES)

We evaluate our deferred income taxes quarterly to determine if valuation 
allowances are required or should be adjusted. GAAP accounting 
guidance requires companies to assess whether valuation allowances 
should be established against deferred tax assets based on all available 
evidence, both positive and negative, using a “more likely than not” 
standard. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, appropriate 
consideration is given to all positive and negative evidence related to 
the realization of deferred tax assets. This assessment considers, among 
other matters, the nature and severity of current and cumulative losses, 
forecasts of future profitability, the duration of statutory carryforward 
periods, and tax planning alternatives. We operate and derive income 
across multiple jurisdictions. As our business experiences changes in 
operating results across its geographic footprint, we may encounter 
losses in jurisdictions that have been historically profitable, and as a 
result might require additional valuation allowances to be recorded. We 
are committed to implementing tax planning actions, when deemed 
appropriate, in jurisdictions that experience losses in order to realize 
deferred tax assets prior to their expiration.

Uncertain Income Tax Positions

U.S. GAAP accounting guidance for uncertainty in income taxes 
prescribes a model for the recognition and measurement of a tax 
position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, and provides 
guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, 
disclosure and transition.

We file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and various 
states and foreign jurisdictions. The income tax returns for FMC entities 
taxable in the U.S. and significant foreign jurisdictions are open for 
examination and adjustment. As of December 31, 2022, the U.S. federal 
and state income tax returns are open for examination and adjustment 
for the years 2017 - 2022 and 2002 - 2022, respectively. Our significant 
foreign jurisdictions, which total 10, are open for examination and 
adjustment during varying periods from 2012 - 2022.

At December 31, 2022, we had net operating loss and tax credit 
carryforwards as follows: U.S. state net operating loss carryforwards of 
$22.3 million (tax-effected) expiring in future tax years through 2041, 
foreign net operating loss carryforwards of $292.9 million (tax-effected) 
expiring in various future years, and other tax credit carryforwards of 
$3.5 million expiring in various future years.

During the third quarter of 2021, we changed our indefinite reinvestment 
assertion in connection with plans to repatriate cash in 2021 and 
subsequent years, contingent upon earnings from certain foreign 
subsidiaries, and recorded tax of $1.6 million for the year ended December 
31, 2021. Additional income taxes have not been provided for certain 
other remaining outside basis differences inherent in our investments 
in foreign subsidiaries because the investments and related unremitted 
earnings are essentially permanent in duration. Determining the amount 
of unrecognized deferred tax liability related to indefinitely reinvested 
earnings of our foreign subsidiaries is not practicable due to the complexity 
of the multi-jurisdictional tax environment in which we operate.

As of December 31, 2022, we had total unrecognized tax benefits 
of $46.1 million, of which $29.5 million would favorably impact 
the effective tax rate from continuing operations if recognized. 
As of December 31, 2021, we had total unrecognized tax benefits 
of $41.9 million, of which $23.6 million would favorably impact 
the effective tax rate if recognized. Interest and penalties related to 
unrecognized tax benefits are reported as a component of income tax 
expense. For the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, we 
had interest and penalties for a net expense (benefit) of $2.6 million, 
$(4.5) million, and $(1.5) million, respectively, in the consolidated 
statements of income (loss). As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, we 
have accrued interest and penalties in the consolidated balance sheets 
of $12.0 million and $9.4 million, respectively.

Due to the potential for resolution of federal, state, or foreign examinations, and the expiration of various jurisdictional statutes of limitation, 
it is reasonably possible that our liability for unrecognized tax benefits will decrease within the next 12 months by a range of $1.2 million to 
$20.7 million.

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:

Revolving Credit Facility Amendment

Maturities of long-term debt

On June 17, 2022, we amended our Revolving Credit Facility and 
on June 27, 2022 we amended our 2021 Term Loan Agreement. The 
Revolving Credit Facility Amendment primarily increased the borrowing 
capacity from $1.5 billion to $2 billion and extended the maturity 
date by an additional year to 2027. Both agreements were amended 
to transition from a reference rate using the LIBOR benchmark to a 
reference rate using a Term SOFR benchmark. 

Deferred financing fees totaling $1.5 million associated with both 
amendments have been deferred and are being recognized to interest 
expense over the life of the agreements.

2021 Term Loan Facility

On November 22, 2021, we borrowed $1.0 billion under our previously 
announced senior unsecured term loan facility (“2021 Term Loan Facility”). 
The proceeds of the borrowing were used to pay off the 2017 Term Loan 
Facility and Senior Notes maturing in 2022. The scheduled maturity of 
the 2021 Term Loan Facility is on the third anniversary of this closing 
date. The 2021 Term Loan Facility contains financial and other covenants, 
which are consistent with those in the covenants of the Revolving Credit 
Facility, including a maximum leverage ratio of 3.5 and minimum interest 
coverage ratio of 3.5 as of the last day of each fiscal quarter.

Maturities of long-term debt outstanding, excluding discounts, at 
December 31, 2022, are $88.5 million in 2023, $1,200.0 million in 
2024, $0.0 million in 2025, $500.0 million in 2026, $0.0 million in 
2027 and $1,050.0 million thereafter.

Covenants

Among other restrictions, the Revolving Credit Facility and 2021 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 December 31, 2022 was 2.34 which 
is below the maximum leverage of 3.50. Our actual interest coverage 
for the four consecutive quarters ended December 31, 2022 was 8.96 
which is above the minimum interest coverage of 3.50. We were in 
compliance with all covenants at December 31, 2022.

NOTE 15  Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits

The funded status of our U.S. qualified and nonqualified defined 
benefit pension plans, our Germany, France, and Belgium defined 
benefit pension plans, plus our U.S. other postretirement healthcare 
and life insurance benefit plans for continuing operations, together 
with the associated balances and net periodic benefit cost recognized 
in our consolidated financial statements as of December 31, are shown 
in the tables below.

We are required to recognize in our consolidated balance sheets the 
overfunded and underfunded status of our defined benefit postretirement 

plans. The overfunded or underfunded status is defined as the difference 
between the fair value of plan assets and the projected benefit obligation. 
We are also required to recognize as a component of other comprehensive 
income the actuarial gains and losses and the prior service costs and 
credits that arise during the period.

Certain amounts have been adjusted to reflect the change in pension 
accounting method, as described in Note 1 to our consolidated financial 
statements.

Our U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plan (“U.S. Plan”) holds 
the majority of our pension plan assets. The expected long-term rate 
of return on these plan assets was 2.50 percent for the year ended 
December 31, 2022, 2.25 percent for the year ended December 31, 
2021, and 3.00 percent for the year ended December 31, 2020. The 
expected long-term rate of return on these plan assets increased by 
0.25 percent in 2022 compared to 2021 primarily due to fluctuating 
yields on corporate bonds. In developing the assumption for the long-term 
rate of return on assets for our U.S. Plan, we take into consideration 
the technical analysis performed by our outside actuaries, including 
historical market returns, information on the assumption for long-term 
real returns by asset class, inflation assumptions and expectations for 
standard deviation related to these best estimates. Given an actively 
managed investment portfolio, the expected annual rates of return by 
asset class for our portfolio, assuming an estimated inflation rate of 
approximately 2.4 percent, is in line with our assumption for the rate 
of return on assets. The target asset allocation at December 31, 2022 by 
asset category continues to be 100 percent fixed income investments.

Our U.S. Plan has been fully funded for the last several years and as 
such, the primary investment strategy is a liability hedging approach 
with an objective of maintaining the funded status of the plan such that 
the volatility is minimized and the likelihood that we will be required to 
make significant contributions to the plan is also limited. The portfolio 
is comprised of 100 percent fixed income securities and cash. Investment 
performance and related risks are measured and monitored on an ongoing 
basis through monthly liability measurements, periodic asset liability 
studies, and quarterly investment portfolio reviews. As previously disclosed, 
we changed our method of accounting to the fair value approach for our 
liability-hedging asset class, which does not involve deferring the impact 
of excess plan asset gains or losses in the determination of these two 
components of net periodic benefit cost. This class of assets is comprised 
solely of fixed income securities and therefore, provides a natural hedge 
(liability-hedging assets) against the changes in the recorded amount of net 
periodic benefit cost. No change is being made to the accounting principle 
for the other classes of pension assets; however our U.S. qualified pension 
plan reached fully funded status during 2018 and since that point the 
portfolio has been invested 100 percent in fixed income securities and cash.

FMC Corporation Savings and Investment Plan

The FMC Corporation Savings and Investment Plan is a qualified salary-
reduction plan under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code in which 
substantially all of our U.S. employees may participate by contributing a 
portion of their compensation. For eligible employees participating in the 
Plan, except for those employees covered by certain collective bargaining 
agreements, the Company makes matching contributions of 80 percent 

of the portion of those contributions up to 5 percent of the employee’s 
compensation. Eligible employees participating in the Plan that do not 
participate in the U.S. qualified pension plan are entitled to receive an 
employer contribution of 5 percent of the employee’s eligible compensation. 
Charges against income for all contributions were $17.5 million in 2022, 
$15.6 million in 2021, and $16.6 million in 2020.

NOTE 16  Share-based Compensation

Stock Compensation Plans

We have a share-based compensation plan, which has been approved 
by the stockholders, for certain employees, officers and directors. This 
plan is described below.

FMC Corporation Incentive Compensation and 
Stock Plan

The FMC Corporation Incentive Compensation and Stock Plan (the 
“Plan”) provides for the grant of a variety of cash and equity awards 
to officers, directors, employees and consultants, including stock 
options, restricted stock, performance units (including restricted 
stock units), stock appreciation rights, and multi-year management 
incentive awards payable partly in cash and partly in common stock. 
The Compensation and Organization Committee of the Board of 
Directors (the “Committee”), subject to the provisions of the Plan, 
approves financial targets, award grants, and the times and conditions for 
payment of awards to employees. The total number of shares of common 
stock authorized for issuance under the Plan is 30.2 million of which 
approximately 2.1 million shares of common stock are available for 
future grants of share based awards under the Plan as of December 31, 
2022. The FMC Corporation Non-Employee Directors’ Compensation 
Policy, administered by the Nominating and Corporate Governance 
Committee of the Board of Directors, sets forth the compensation to be 
paid to the directors, including stock options, stock appreciation rights, 
restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance-based restricted 
stock units, and cash awards to be made to directors under the Plan.

Stock Compensation

We recognized the following stock compensation expense:

PART II  
ITEM 8 Financial Statements and Supplementary Data

Stock options granted under the Plan may be incentive or nonqualified 
stock options. The exercise price for stock options may not be less than 
the fair market value of the stock at the date of grant. Awards granted 
under the Plan vest or become exercisable or payable at the time 
designated by the Committee, which has generally been three years 
from the date of grant. Incentive and nonqualified options granted 
under the Plan expire no later than 10 years from the grant date.

Under the Plan, awards of restricted stock and restricted stock units 
may be made to selected employees. The awards vest over periods 
designated by the Committee, which has generally been three years, 
with vesting conditional upon continued employment. Compensation 
cost is recognized over the vesting periods based on the market value 
of the stock on the date of the award. Restricted stock units granted 
to directors under the Plan vest immediately if granted as part of, or 
in lieu of, the annual retainer; other restricted stock units granted to 
directors vest at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders in the calendar 
year following the May 1 annual grant date (but are subject to forfeiture 
on a pro rata basis if the director does not serve the full year except 
under certain circumstances).

At December 31, 2022 and 2021, there were restricted stock units 
representing an aggregate of 284,201 shares and 267,524 shares of 
common stock, respectively, credited to the directors’ accounts.

Stock Options

The grant-date fair values of the stock options we granted in the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 were estimated using the Black-
Scholes option valuation model, the key assumptions for which are listed in the table below. The dividend yield assumption reflects anticipated 
dividends on our common stock. The expected volatility assumption is based on the actual historical experience of our common stock. The 
expected life represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury 
securities with terms equal to the expected timing of stock option exercises as of the grant date. Employee stock options generally vest after a 
three year period and expire ten years from the date of grant.

FMC CORPORATION - Form 10-KPART II  
ITEM 8 Financial Statements and Supplementary Data

Restricted and Performance Based Equity Awards

The grant-date fair value of restricted stock awards and stock units 
under the Plan is based on the market price per share of our common 
stock on the date of grant. The related compensation cost is amortized 
to expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period during 
which the employees perform related services, which is typically 
three years except for those eligible for retirement prior to the stated 
vesting period as well as non-employee directors.

Starting in 2015, we began granting performance based restricted 
stock awards. The performance based share awards represent a number 
of shares of common stock to be awarded upon settlement based 

on the achievement of a total shareholder return (“TSR”) relative 
to peer companies over a three year period. These awards generally 
vest upon the completion of a three year period from the date of 
grant; however, starting with the 2016 grants, certain performance 
criteria is measured on an annual basis. Starting with the 2019 
grants, vesting was based on a TSR relative to peer companies and a 
cumulative operating cash flow metric. The fair value of the equity 
classified performance-based share awards is determined based on 
the number of shares of common stock expected to be awarded and 
a Monte Carlo valuation model.

The following table shows our employee restricted award activity for the three years ended December 31, 2022:

In July 2020, we purchased the remaining 49 percent ownership interest in our Indonesia joint venture, PT Bina Guna Kimia (“BGK”), for $7.4 million 
which increased our ownership from 51 percent to 100 percent.

Dividends and Share Repurchases

On January 19, 2023, we paid dividends totaling $72.7 million to 
our shareholders of record as of December 31, 2022. This amount is 
included in “Accrued and other liabilities” on the consolidated balance 
sheets as of December 31, 2022. For the years ended December 31, 
2022, 2021 and 2020, we paid $267.5 million, $247.2 million and 
$228.5 million in dividends, respectively. 

In 2022, 875,480 shares were repurchased under the publicly announced 
repurchase program. At December 31, 2022, approximately $900 million 
remained unused under our Board-authorized repurchase program. In 
February 2022, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up 

NOTE 18  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 
because the inclusion of the potential common shares would have 
an antidilutive effect. Diluted EPS excludes the impact of potential 
common shares related to our stock options in periods in which the 
option exercise price is greater than the average market price of our 
common stock for the period. For the years ended December 31, 2022, 

to $1 billion of the Company’s common stock. The $1 billion share 
repurchase program replaced in its entirety the previous authorization. 
This repurchase program does not include a specific timetable or price 
targets and may be suspended or terminated at any time. Shares may 
be purchased through open market or privately negotiated transactions 
at the discretion of management based on its evaluation of market 
conditions and other factors. We also reacquire shares from time to time 
from employees in connection with the vesting, exercise and forfeiture 
of awards under our equity compensation plans.

2021 and 2020 there were 0.4 million, 0.2 million and 0.2 million 
potential common shares excluded from Diluted EPS, respectively.

Our non-vested restricted stock awards contain rights to receive non-
forfeitable dividends, and thus, are participating securities requiring the 
two-class method of computing EPS. The two-class method determines 
EPS by dividing the sum of distributed earnings to common stockholders 
and undistributed earnings allocated to common stockholders by the 
weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for 
the period. In calculating the two-class method, undistributed earnings 
are allocated to both common shares and participating securities based 
on the weighted average 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:

NOTE 19  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:

Commodity forward and option contracts

Debt

Valuation Method
Estimated amounts that would be received or paid to terminate the contracts at the reporting date 
based on current market prices for applicable currencies.
Estimated amounts that would be received or paid to terminate the contracts at the reporting date 
based on quoted market prices for applicable commodities.
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, commodity forward and option contracts, and 
interest rate contracts are included in the tables within this Note. The 
estimated fair value of debt is $3,118.6 million and $3,409.8 million 
and the carrying amount is $3,274.0 million and $3,172.5 million as 
of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

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 option contracts, to reduce the effects of fluctuating foreign 
currency exchange rates. 

We formally document all relationships between hedging instruments 
and hedged items, as well as the risk management objective and strategy 
for undertaking various hedge transactions. This process includes relating 
derivatives that are designated as fair value or cash flow hedges to specific 
assets and liabilities on the balance sheet or to specific firm commitments 
or forecasted transactions. We also assess both at the inception of the 
hedge and on an ongoing basis, whether each derivative is highly effective 
in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of the hedged item. If 
we determine that a derivative is not highly effective as a hedge, or if a 
derivative ceases to be a highly effective hedge, we discontinue hedge 
accounting with respect to that derivative prospectively.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk Management

We conduct business in many foreign countries, exposing earnings, 
cash flows, and our financial position to foreign currency risks. The 
majority of these risks arise as a result of foreign currency transactions. 
Our policy is to minimize exposure to adverse changes in currency 
exchange rates. This is accomplished through a controlled program of 
risk management that includes the use of foreign currency debt and 

forward foreign exchange contracts. We also use forward foreign exchange 
contracts to hedge firm and highly anticipated foreign currency cash 
flows, with an objective of balancing currency risk to provide adequate 
protection from significant fluctuations in the currency markets.

The primary currencies for which we have exchange rate exposure are 
the U.S. dollar versus the Brazilian real, Chinese yuan, Indian rupee, 
euro, Mexican peso and Argentine peso. 

Commodity Price Risk

We are exposed to risks in energy costs due to fluctuations in energy 
prices, including natural gas, electricity, and other commodities. We 
attempt to mitigate our exposure to increasing energy costs by entering 
into physical and financial derivative contracts to hedge the cost of future 
deliveries of our commodities.

Interest Rate Risk

We use various strategies to manage our interest rate exposure, including 
entering into interest rate swap agreements to achieve a targeted mix 
of fixed and variable-rate debt. In the agreements we exchange, at 
specified intervals, the difference between fixed and variable-interest 
amounts calculated on an agreed-upon notional principal amount. 

Concentration of Credit Risk

Our counterparties to derivative contracts are primarily major financial 
institutions. We limit the dollar amount of contracts entered into with any 
one financial institution and monitor counterparties’ credit ratings. We 
also enter into master netting agreements with each financial institution, 
where possible, which helps mitigate the credit risk associated with our 
financial instruments. While we may be exposed to credit losses due to 
the nonperformance of counterparties, we consider this risk remote.

Financial Guarantees and Letter-of-Credit 
Commitments 

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 Notes 1 and 20 to the consolidated financial statements 
included within this Form 10-K 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.

Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
Cash Flow Hedges

We recognize all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. On the 
date we enter into the derivative instrument, 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 December 31, 2022, we had open foreign currency forward contracts 
in AOCI in a net after-tax loss position of $10.2 million designated as 
cash flow hedges of underlying forecasted sales and purchases. Current 
open contracts hedge forecasted transactions until December 31, 2023. 
At December 31, 2022, we had open forward contracts with various 
expiration dates to buy, sell or exchange foreign currencies with a U.S. 
dollar equivalent of approximately $2,207.9 million.

As of December 31, 2022, we had open interest rate contracts in AOCI 
in a net after-tax gain position of $9.8 million designated as cash flow 
hedges of the anticipated fixed rate coupon of debt forecasted to be 
issued within a designated window. At December 31, 2022 we had 
interest rate swap contracts outstanding with a total aggregate notional 
value of approximately $200.0 million. 

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. 

Fair Value of Derivative Instruments

In conjunction with prior bond issuances, we settled on various interest 
rate swap agreements which were entered into to hedge the variability in 
treasury rates. These settlements resulted in a loss which was recorded 
in other comprehensive income and is being amortized over the various 
terms of these notes. As of December 31, 2022, there was a remaining 
net after-tax loss of $39.9 million in AOCI related to this settlement.

As of December 31, 2022, we had no open commodity contracts 
in AOCI designated as cash flow hedges of underlying forecasted 
purchases. At December 31, 2022, we had no mmBTUs (millions of 
British Thermal Units) in aggregate notional volume of outstanding 
natural gas commodity forward contracts.

Approximately $10.2 million of net after-tax losses, representing 
open foreign currency exchange contracts will be realized in earnings 
during the twelve months ending December 31, 2023 if spot rates in 
the future are consistent with forward rates as of December 31, 2022. 
The actual effect on earnings will be dependent on the actual spot rates 
when the forecasted transactions occur. We recognize derivative gains 
and losses in the “Costs of sales and services” line in the consolidated 
statements of income (loss).

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 $2,999.3 million at December 31, 2022.

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.

NOTE 20  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.

The following table provides the estimated undiscounted amount 
of potential future payments for each major group of guarantees at 
December 31, 2022. 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.

TOTAL
(1)  Represents guarantees to financial institutions on behalf of certain customers for their seasonal borrowing. The short-term amount is recorded as “Guarantees of

vendor financing” on the consolidated balance sheets.

(2)  These  guarantees  represent  the  outstanding  commitment  provided  to  third-party  banks  for  credit  extended  to  various  direct  and  indirect  customers  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. Historically, the fair value of these guarantees has been and continues to 
be in the current reporting period, immaterial and the majority of these guarantees have had an expiration date of less than one year.

Excluded from the chart above are parent-company guarantees we provide 
to lending institutions that extend credit to our foreign subsidiaries. 
Since these guarantees are provided for consolidated subsidiaries, the 
consolidated financial position is not affected by the issuance of these 
guarantees. Also excluded from the chart, in connection with our 
property and asset sales and divestitures, we have agreed to indemnify 
the buyer for certain liabilities, including environmental contamination 
and taxes that occurred prior to the date of sale or provided guarantees 
to third parties relating to certain contracts assumed by the buyer. 
Our indemnification or guarantee obligations with respect to certain 
liabilities may be indefinite as to duration and may or may not be 
subject to a deductible, minimum claim amount or cap. As such, it is 
not possible for us to predict the likelihood that a claim will be made or 
to make a reasonable estimate of the maximum potential loss or range 
of loss. If triggered, we may be able to recover some of the indemnity 
payments from third parties. Therefore, we have not recorded any 
specific liabilities for these guarantees. For certain obligations related 
to our divestitures for which we can make a reasonable estimate of the 
maximum potential loss or range of loss and is probable, a liability in 
those instances has been recorded.

Commitments

Purchase Obligations

Our minimum commitments under our take-or-pay purchase obligations 
associated with the sourcing of materials and energy total approximately 
$459.4 million. Since the majority of our minimum obligations under 
these contracts are over the life of the contract on a year-by-year basis, 
we are unable to determine the periods in which these obligations 
could be payable under these contracts. However, we intend to fulfill 
the obligations associated with these contracts through our purchases 
associated with the normal course of business.

Contingencies

Asbestos claims

Like hundreds of other industrial companies, we have been named as 
one of many defendants in asbestos-related personal injury litigation. 
Most of these cases allege personal injury or death resulting from 
exposure to asbestos in premises of FMC or to asbestos-containing 
components installed in machinery or equipment manufactured or 
sold by discontinued operations.

90

We intend to continue managing these asbestos-related cases in accordance 
with our historical experience. We have established a reserve for this 
litigation within our discontinued operations and believe that any 
exposure of a loss in excess of the established reserve cannot be reasonably 
estimated. Our experience has been that the overall trends in asbestos 
litigation have changed over time. Over the last several years, we have 
seen changes in the jurisdictions where claims against FMC are being 
filed and changes in the mix of products named in the various claims. 
Because these claim trends have yet to form a predictable pattern, we 
are presently unable to reasonably estimate our asbestos liability with 
respect to claims that may be filed in the future.

Other contingent liabilities

In addition to the matters disclosed above, we have certain other 
contingent liabilities arising from litigation, claims, products we 
have sold, guarantees or warranties we have made, contracts we have 
entered into, indemnities we have provided, and other commitments 
or obligations incident to the ordinary course of business. 

In Brazil, we are subject to claims from various governmental agencies 
regarding alleged additional indirect (non-income) taxes or duties as well 
as product liability matters and labor cases related to our operations. 
These disputes take many years to resolve as the matters move through 
administrative or judicial courts. We have provided reserves for such 
Brazilian matters that we consider probable and for which a reasonable 
estimate of the obligation can be made in the amount of $6.2 million 
and $3.3 million as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. 
The aggregate estimated reasonably possible loss contingencies related 
to such Brazilian matters exceed amounts accrued by approximately 
$91 million at December 31, 2022. This reasonably possible estimate 
is based upon information available as of the date of the filing and the 
actual future losses may be higher given the uncertainties regarding the 
ultimate decision by administrative or judicial authorities in Brazil. 

In India, we are subject to audits or other proceedings by tax authorities 
regarding certain alleged additional indirect taxes related to our 
operations. Indian tax authorities have recently begun auditing or 
investigating many companies, including our FMC subsidiary in India, 
on the goods and service tax (“GST”) indirect tax law which came 
into force in 2017. Such proceedings and potential future litigations, 
in which the tax authorities are challenging the technical tax position 
taken by the Company, take many years to resolve as the matters are 
heard and decided upon by tax authorities or courts. We have provided 
reserves for such historical Indian tax matters that we consider probable 

FMC CORPORATION - Form 10-KPART II  
ITEM 8 Financial Statements and Supplementary Data

and a reasonable estimate of the obligation can be made in the amount 
of approximately $33.5 million, as of December 31, 2021. As of 
December 31, 2022, the majority of these matters have been settled 
and the remaining obligation is immaterial. The timing and amount 
of the remaining obligations will vary based on final negotiations and 
the reserve will be reduced as these payments are made. 

Regarding other contingencies arising from operations, some of these 
contingencies are known - for example pending product liability 
litigation or claims - but are so preliminary that the merits cannot be 
determined, or if more advanced, are not deemed material based on 
current knowledge. Some contingencies are unknown - for example, 
claims with respect to which we have no notice or claims which may 
arise in the future, resulting from products we have sold, guarantees or 
warranties we have made, or indemnities we have provided. Therefore, 
we are unable to develop a reasonable estimate of our potential exposure 

of loss for these contingencies, either individually or in the aggregate, 
at this time. Based on information currently available and established 
reserves, we have no reason to believe that the ultimate resolution of 
our known contingencies, including the matters described in this Note, 
will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, 
liquidity or results of operations. However, there can be no assurance 
that the outcome of these contingencies will be favorable, and adverse 
results in certain of these contingencies could have a material adverse 
effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations in 
any one reporting period, or liquidity.

See Note 12 to the consolidated financial statements included within 
this Form 10-K for the Pocatello Tribal litigation, Middleport litigation, 
and Portland Harbor site for legal proceedings associated with our 
environmental contingencies.

FMC Corporation:

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of 
FMC Corporation and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 
31, 2022 and 2021, the related consolidated statements of income 
(loss), comprehensive income (loss), changes in equity, and cash 
flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 
31, 2022, and the related notes and schedule II – valuation and 
qualifying accounts and reserves (collectively, the consolidated financial 
statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements 
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the 
Company as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its 

Changes in Accounting Principle

operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year 
period ended December 31, 2022, in conformity with U.S. generally 
accepted accounting principles.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public 
Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the 
Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 
31, 2022, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated 
Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations 
of the Treadway Commission, and our report dated February 24, 2023 
expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s 
internal control over financial reporting.

As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the 
Company has elected to change its method of accounting for inventory 
costing from last-in, first-out (LIFO) cost method to first-in, first-out 
(FIFO) cost method for inventory in the United States as of July 1, 

2022. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, 
the Company has elected to change its method of accounting for the 
determination of the market-related value of assets for a class of assets 
within the qualified U.S. defined benefit plan as of July 1, 2022.

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the 
Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion 
on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are 
a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required 
to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the 
U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the 
Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. 
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain 
reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements 

are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our 
audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material 
misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to 
error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. 
Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding 
the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. 
Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and 
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall 
presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our 
audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matters

The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from 
the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were 
communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and 
that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated 
financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, 
or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does 
not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, 
taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit 
matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters 
or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

Evaluation of the allowance for trade receivables and 
long-term receivables associated with customers located 
in Brazil

As discussed in Notes 1 and 10 to the consolidated financial statements, 
the Company develops an analysis of trade receivables and long-term 
receivables to determine its best estimate of the probable losses associated 

with potential customer defaults.  The most significant portion of the 
allowance for trade receivables and long-term receivables is related to 
customers located in Brazil.

We identified the evaluation of the allowance for trade receivables and 
long-term receivables associated with customers located in Brazil as a 
critical audit matter.  Specifically, the length of standard credit terms 
offered and customer liquidity may be significantly influenced by 
economic conditions and unfavorable weather conditions impacting crop 
quality. This increased the need for subjective judgment and knowledge 
in assessing customer liquidity constraints to estimate probable losses.

The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this 
critical audit matter. We evaluated the design and tested the operating 
effectiveness of certain internal controls over the Company’s collectability 
determination process, including controls over the identification of at-risk 
trade receivables and long-term receivables balances and related estimate 
of probable losses associated with such balances. We inspected underlying 
documentation for collateral arrangements, legal status, and historical 

94

FMC CORPORATION - Form 10-Ktrends and analysis performed by the Company for historical collection 
results. The Company’s assumptions underlying the collectability of 
trade receivables and long-term receivables were tested by evaluating:
	• The Company’s rationale for and appropriateness of changes in 
assumptions from those used in the prior year related to its expected 
collection period for specific customers;
	• Local Brazil economic and weather conditions that might impact 
the assumptions;
	• Adjustments to the prior period reserve and assessing if those 
adjustments provided information that was contradictory to the 
current year’s assumptions; and
	• Deterioration of trade receivables and long-term receivables balances 
subsequent to year-end, to identify the presence of trends not 
considered by the Company when it developed its assumptions.

Evaluation of unrecognized tax benefits

As discussed in Note 13, the Company has $46.1 million of unrecognized 
tax benefits as of December 31, 2022. The Company recognizes the 
largest amount of tax benefit that it believes is more than 50 percent 
likely to be sustained. A significant amount of the Company’s earnings 
are generated by certain foreign subsidiaries whose earnings are taxed 
at lower rates than the United States federal statutory rate.

We identified the evaluation of the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits 
related to the earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries as a critical audit 

PART II  
ITEM 8 Financial Statements and Supplementary Data

matter. Complex auditor judgment was required in evaluating the 
Company’s interpretation of tax law, the transfer pricing structure, 
and its analysis of the recognition of its tax benefits.

The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this 
critical audit matter. We evaluated the design and tested the operating 
effectiveness of certain internal controls over the unrecognized tax 
benefits process, including controls related to the transfer pricing 
structure which affects the determination of earnings of certain foreign 
subsidiaries. We also involved tax and transfer pricing professionals 
with specialized skills and knowledge, who assisted in:
	• Examining the Company’s tax positions, including the methodology 
for evaluating unrecognized tax benefits;
	• Assessing transfer pricing studies with applicable laws and regulations;
	• Evaluating the Company’s interpretation of tax laws and income 
tax consequences of intercompany transactions;
	• Considering applicable settlements with taxing authorities; and
	• Evaluating the Company’s determination of unrecognized tax benefits.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate 
internal control over financial reporting as defined in Exchange Act 
Rule 13a-15(f ). FMC’s internal control over financial reporting is a 
process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability 
of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for 
external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting 
principles. Internal control over financial reporting includes those 
written policies and procedures that:
	• pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, 
accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of 
the assets of FMC;
	• provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary 
to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with 
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles;
	• provide reasonable assurance that receipts and expenditures of 
FMC are being made only in accordance with authorization of 
management and directors of FMC; and
	• provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection 
of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of assets that could 
have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

Internal control over financial reporting includes the controls themselves, 
monitoring and internal auditing practices and actions taken to correct 
deficiencies as identified.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial 
reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections 
of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to 
the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes 
in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or 
procedures may deteriorate.

We assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial 
reporting as of December 31, 2022. We based this assessment on 
criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting described 
in “Internal Control—Integrated Framework (COSO 2013)” issued 
by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway 
Commission. Management’s assessment included an evaluation of 
the design of our internal control over financial reporting and testing 
of the operational effectiveness of our internal control over financial 
reporting. We reviewed the results of our assessment with the Audit 
Committee of our Board of Directors.

Based on this assessment, we determined that, as of December 31, 
2022, FMC has effective internal control over financial reporting.

KPMG LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm, has 
issued an attestation report on the effectiveness of internal control 
over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, which appears on 
the following page.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Stockholders and Board of Directors

FMC Corporation:

Opinion on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting 

We have audited FMC Corporation and subsidiaries’ (the Company) 
internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, based 
on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework 
(2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the 
Treadway Commission. In our opinion, the Company maintained, in 
all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting 
as of December 31, 2022, based on criteria established in Internal 
Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of 
Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public 
Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), 
the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 
2022 and 2021, the related consolidated statements of income (loss), 
comprehensive income (loss), changes in equity, and cash flows for each 
of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2022, and 
the related notes and schedule II – valuation and qualifying accounts 
and reserves (collectively, the consolidated financial statements), and 
our report dated February 24, 2023 expressed an unqualified opinion 
on those consolidated financial statements.

Basis for Opinion 

The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective 
internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the 
effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in 
the accompanying Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control 
Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion 
on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on 
our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB 
and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in 
accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable 
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission 
and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the 
PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit 
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control 
over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our 
audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining 
an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing 
the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the 
design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the 
assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures 
as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our 
audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control 
Over Financial Reporting 

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process 
designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of 
financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for 
external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting 
principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes 
those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance 
of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the 
transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide 
reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to 
permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally 
accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of 
the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of 
management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable 
assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized 
acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could 
have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial 
reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections 
of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to 
the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes 
in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or 
procedures may deteriorate.
