The Company believes that the Non-GAAP financial measure "Adjusted After-Tax Earnings from Continuing Operations, attributable to FMC Stockholders", and its presentation on a per share basis, provides useful information about the Company's operating results to investors . Adjusted Earnings excludes the effects of Corporate special charges, Non-GAAP tax adjustments and the results of our discontinued operations. The Company also believes that excluding the effects of these items from operating results allows management and investors to compare more easily the financial performance of its underlying businesses from period to period. Additionally, the above schedule is presented in a format which reflects the manner in which we manage our business and is not in accordance with GAAP.

(3)

The average number of shares outstanding used in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 diluted adjusted after-tax earnings from continuing operations per share computation (Non-GAAP) includes 0.7 million diluted shares. This number of shares differs from the average number of shares outstanding used in diluted earnings per share computations (GAAP) as we had a net loss from continuing operations attributable to FMC stockholders.

(a) 

Three Months Ended September 30, 2015:

Restructuring and other charges (income) includes a charge of $50.7 million, primarily related to exit of generic crop protection business in Brazil and severance associated with the integration of Cheminova, a charge of $16.6 million associated with the reorganization of our FMC Health and Nutrition segment, of which, $11.9 million was due to the sale of our pectin manufacturing business. Remaining restructuring and charges included net miscellaneous charges of $2.0 million. Offsetting these charges was other income associated with sale of our remaining ownership interest in a Belgian-based pesticide distribution company for $26.6 million, slightly offset by charges from continuing environmental sites treated as a Corporate charge of $2.9 million.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2014:

Restructuring and other charges (income) includes a charge of $17.0 million associated with a license agreement entered into by our FMC Agricultural Solutions segment for the purpose of obtaining certain technology and intellectual property rights relating to new compounds still under development. Additionally, this amount includes charges associated with continuing environmental sites treated as a Corporate charge of $17.3 million. Remaining restructuring and other charges (income) includes net miscellaneous charges of $1.3 million.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2015:

Restructuring and other charges (income) includes a charge of $55.5 million, primarily related to exit of generic crop protection business in Brazil of $40.1 million and severance associated with the integration of Cheminova of $12.2 million, a charge of $20.5 million associated with the reorganization of our FMC Health and Nutrition segment, of which, $11.9 million was due to the sale of our pectin manufacturing business. Remaining restructuring and charges included net miscellaneous charges of $5.5 million. Offsetting these charges was other income associated with sale of our remaining ownership interest in a Belgian-based pesticide distribution company for $26.6 million, slightly offset by charges from continuing environmental sites treated as a Corporate charge of $8.3 million and a charge of $15.0 million associated with a license agreement entered into for the purpose of obtaining certain technology and intellectual property rights relating to new compounds still under development both of which pertain our FMC Agricultural Solutions segment.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2014:

Restructuring and other charges (income) includes a charge of $5.8 million associated with a reorganization of our Health and Nutrition segment, as well as a charge of $17.0 million associated a license agreement entered into by our FMC Agricultural Solutions segment for the purpose of obtaining certain technology and intellectual property rights relating to new compounds still under development. Additionally, this amount includes charges associated with continuing environmental sites treated as a Corporate charge of $20.0 million. Remaining restructuring and other charges (income) includes net miscellaneous charges of $2.1 million.

(b) 

Our non-operating pension and postretirement costs are defined as those costs related to interest, expected return on plan assets, amortized actuarial gains and losses and the impacts of any plan curtailments or settlements. These costs are primarily related to 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 exclude these non-operating pension and postretirement costs from our segments as we believe that removing them provides a better understanding of the underlying profitability of our businesses, provides increased transparency and clarity in the performance of our retirement plans and enhances period-over-period comparability. We continue to include the service cost and amortization of prior service cost in our Adjusted Earnings results noted above. We believe these elements reflect the current year operating costs to our businesses for the employment benefits provided to active employees.

(c) 

There were no charges for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015. On September 8, 2014, we announced that we will no longer proceed with the planned separation as a result of the planned acquisition of Cheminova A/S and divestiture of our FMC Alkali Chemicals division. Business separation costs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 represent charges associated with the planned separation activities through September 8, 2014.

(d)

Charges related to the expensing of the inventory fair value step-up resulting from the application of acquisition accounting, legal and professional fees and gains or losses on hedging purchase price associated with the planned or completed acquisitions. Amounts represent the following:

Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2015

Discontinued operations includes our FMC Alkali Chemicals division as well as provisions, net of recoveries, for environmental liabilities and legal reserves and expenses related to previously discontinued operations. The nine months ended September 30, 2015 includes the divestiture gain of approximately $700 million associated with the sale of FMC Alkali Chemicals division which was completed on April 1, 2015.

Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2014

Discontinued operations includes our FMC Alkali and FMC Peroxygens business results as well as provisions, net of recoveries, for environmental liabilities and legal reserves and expenses related to previously discontinued operations. The nine months ended September 30, 2014 includes the final divestiture charge associated with the sale of FMC Peroxygens business which was completed on February 28, 2014.

(f) 

We exclude the GAAP tax provision, including discrete items, from the Non-GAAP measure of income, and instead include a Non-GAAP tax provision based upon the projected annual Non-GAAP effective tax rate. The GAAP tax provision includes certain discrete tax items including, but are not limited to: income tax expenses or benefits that are not related to ongoing business operations in the current year; unusual or infrequently occurring items; tax adjustments associated with fluctuations in foreign currency remeasurement of certain foreign operations; certain changes in estimates of tax matters related to prior fiscal years; certain changes in the realizability of deferred tax assets; and changes in tax law. Management believes excluding these discrete tax items assists investors and securities analysts in understanding the tax provision and the effective tax rate related to ongoing operations thereby providing investors with useful supplemental information about FMC's operational performance.

FMC CORPORATIONFMC AGRICULTURAL SOLUTIONS PRO FORMA FINANCIAL RESULTS(Unaudited, in millions)

In the second quarter of 2015, we began to present pro forma combined results for the FMC Agricultural Solutions segment for 2015 and 2014. We believe that reviewing our operating results by combining actual and pro forma results for the FMC Agricultural Solutions segment for 2015 and 2014 is more useful in identifying trends in, or reaching conclusions regarding, the overall operating performance of this segment. Our pro forma segment information will include adjustments as if the Cheminova transaction had occurred on January 1, 2014. Our pro forma data will also be adjusted for the effects of acquisition accounting but will not include adjustments for cost related to integration activities, cost savings or synergies that might be achieved by the combined businesses. Pro forma amounts to be presented will not necessarily be indicative of what our results would have been had we operated Cheminova since January 1, 2014, nor our future results. We believe that reviewing our operating results by combining actual and pro forma results for the FMC Agricultural Solutions segment for these interim periods is more useful in identifying trends in, or reaching conclusions regarding, the overall operating performance of the segment.

Exhibit 99.2

Schedule of Adjusted Earnings From Continuing Operations (Non-GAAP) Recasting

As a global enterprise, our tax expense can be impacted by changes in tax rates or laws, the finalization of tax audits and reviews, and the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency remeasurement, as well as other discrete items. As a result, we can experience significant volatility in our tax provision as a result of factors unrelated to ongoing business operations. Management believes that excluding this volatility assists investors in understanding the Adjusted Earnings tax provision and the effective tax rate related to ongoing operations thereby providing investors with useful supplemental information about FMC's operational performance. Historically, we have excluded most of these types of items for our Adjusted Earnings tax provision. However, we have not historically excluded the tax impact of fluctuations of foreign currency remeasurement. This remeasurement is primarily associated with U.S. dollar denominated monetary assets and liabilities of our foreign subsidiaries whose functional currency is the U.S. dollar. In these instances, changes in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the statutory foreign currency give rise to a tax effect, even though there is no corresponding pre-tax exchange rate gain or loss in the remeasured financial statements. Significant volatility between the U.S dollar and the statutory foreign currency (most recently, for instance, the volatility in the Brazilian real) creates significant volatility in our GAAP tax provision. We will now be excluding the effect of these items from our adjusted earning tax provision for the reasons described herein.

Prospectively, we will exclude the GAAP tax provision, including all discrete items, from our Non-GAAP measure of income, and instead include a Non-GAAP tax provision based upon the projected annual Non-GAAP effective tax rate. The difference between the GAAP tax provision and our Non-GAAP tax provision will be referred to as "Non-GAAP tax adjustments" and will be presented as a reconciling item within our Reconciliation of Net Income (Loss) attributable to FMC Stockholders (GAAP) to Adjusted After-Tax Earnings from Continuing Operations, attributable to FMC Stockholders (Non-GAAP).

This Exhibit 99.2 provides the recasted quarterly periods of 2015 and 2014 to recast our Adjusted Earnings tax provision for the impacts of the foreign currency remeasurement and foreign currency discrete items. We are providing this information to assist investors and securities analysts in understanding the impact of this change on recent historical periods. The column labeled as "Adj." below provides the impact, each period, of this change on both the Adjusted Earnings tax provision and earnings per a share.

The Company believes that the Non-GAAP financial measure "Adjusted After-Tax Earnings from Continuing Operations, attributable to FMC Stockholders", and its presentation on a per share basis, provides useful information about the Company's operating results to investors. Adjusted Earnings excludes the effects of Corporate special charges, Non-GAAP tax adjustments and the results of our discontinued operations. The Company also believes that excluding the effects of these items from operating results allows management and investors to compare more easily the financial performance of its underlying businesses from period to period. Additionally, the above schedule is presented in a format which reflects the manner in which we manage our business and is not in accordance with GAAP.

(3)

The sum of quarterly earnings per common share may differ from the full year amounts due to rounding.
