FMC Corp. 报告第二季度收益和销售额下降，原因是销量下降和外汇影响。
The company’s Agricultural Solutions operating profit was $100.7 million, compared with $117.3 million a year ago.
农业解决方案报告第二季度收入为 $5.52 亿，低于去年同期的 $625.6 百万。在备考基础上，第二季度分部收入下降 19% 主要是由于销量下降，这主要是受产品合理化和外汇逆风的推动。与 2015 年第二季度的预估结果相比，该部门的收益下降了 14%，这是因为销量下降、产品组合不利和美元走强的影响被较低的运营成本部分抵消了。
全年，分部收入预计在 $22 亿至 $24 亿之间，分部收益预计在 $3.8 亿至 $4.2 亿之间。第三季度分部收益预计在$8000万至$9000万之间。
Pierre Brondeau, FMC president, CEO and chairman said: “FMC delivered another strong quarter, reporting adjusted earnings per share above the mid-point of guidance. Ag Solutions continues to realize the benefits of the Cheminova acquisition, reporting segment earnings in line with expectations despite difficult market conditions. Lithium outperformed, more than tripling segment earnings compared to the prior year quarter. Lithium’s performance reflects the success of FMC’s strategy of converting lithium carbonate into higher value downstream specialty products. Health and Nutrition delivered strong margins and cash flow, but revenue and segment earnings were below expectations, largely due to weakness in Omega-3. Overall, I am very pleased with the execution of our strategy. Based on our performance to date and improved outlook for the year, we are increasing guidance for 2016 adjusted earnings per diluted share by 5 cents to $2.60 to $2.90.”
