FMC Agricultural Solutions 报告第四季度收入下降，但利润大幅增加，这得益于拉丁美洲强劲的定价，尽管美元走强。
Fourth-quarter segment revenue was $618 million, down 6% from $657.3 million principally due to lower sales in Latin America and Europe. Segment earnings, however, increased 25% to $127.1 million compared to the fourth quarter of 2015, driven by FMC’s ability to maintain pricing, principally in Latin America, despite the strengthening of the U.S. dollar.
2016年分部营收为$22.7亿元，较上年增加1%，全年分部盈利为$4亿元，较上年增加10%。分部利润率提高 140 个基点至 17.6%。
2017年全年分部营收预计约为$22亿元至$24亿元，全年分部盈利预计介于$410亿元至$4.5亿元之间，较中期增加8%点与上年相比。第一季度分部收益预计在 $60 百万至 $70 百万之间，与去年同期相比，中点减少约 20%。预计 2017 年的收益增长将受到运营成本降低和销量增加的推动，部分被不利的外汇影响所抵消。
Pierre Brondeau, FMC president, CEO and chairman said: “FMC delivered another solid quarter, to cap a year of strong quarterly performances. In Ag Solutions, we focused on maintaining price and terms rather than volume, and we rationalized low-margin products to improve the foundations of that business.”
