____________________ 
(1)
Income taxes are not provided on the equity in undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries or affiliates since it is our intention that such earnings will remain invested in those affiliates permanently. The amount for 2014 includes reclassification to net income due to the divestiture of our FMC Peroxygens business, see Note 14 for more information. In accordance with accounting guidance, this amount was previously factored into the lower of cost or fair value test associated with the 2013 Peroxygens' asset held for sale write-down charges.
(2)
At December 31st of each year, we remeasure our pension and postretirement plan obligations at which time we record any actuarial gains (losses) and prior service (costs) credits to other comprehensive income. The interim adjustments noted above reflect the foreign currency translation impacts from the unrealized actuarial gains (losses) and prior service (costs) credits related to our foreign pension and postretirement plans.
(3)
For more detail on the components of these reclassifications and the affected line item in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income see Note 14.

FMC CORPORATION
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

Note 1: Financial Information and Accounting Policies
In our opinion the condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) applicable to interim period financial statements and reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, and our financial position as of March 31, 2014. All such adjustments included herein are of a normal, recurring nature unless otherwise disclosed in the Notes. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the full year. The condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, and the related condensed consolidated statements of income, condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income and condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, have been reviewed by our independent registered public accountants. The review is described more fully in their report included herein. Our accounting policies are set forth in detail in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements included with our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the year ended December 31, 2013 (the “2013 10-K”).
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation.

Note 2: Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements and Regulatory Items
New accounting guidance and regulatory items

In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued its updated guidance on the financial reporting of discontinued operations. This new standard changes the criteria for reporting discontinued operations while enhancing disclosures in this area. Under the new guidance, only disposals representing a strategic shift in operations should be presented as discontinued operations. Additionally, expanded disclosures about discontinued operations will be required to provide financial statement users with more information about the assets, liabilities, income, and expenses of discontinued operations. This guidance impacts disclosures within an entity's financial statements and notes to the financial statements. We are required to prospectively adopt this guidance in the first quarter of 2015. The updated guidance will not impact existing conclusions with respect to discontinued operations classification.

Note 3: Business Separation
On March 10, 2014, we announced a plan to separate into two independent public companies. One company, “New FMC,” will contain our FMC Agricultural Solutions and FMC Health and Nutrition segments, while the other company, "FMC Minerals", will be comprised of our FMC Minerals segment. The official name for “New FMC” will be determined in the coming months.
We are currently in the process of evaluating the form and structure to separate FMC Corporation into two separate independent companies. We expect the separation, which remains subject to final board approval and other customary conditions, to take the form of a tax-free distribution of shares to existing FMC Corporation shareholders. We expect to complete the separation in the first half of 2015.
For the three months ended March 31, 2014, $3.0 million in expense was recognized related to this transaction and is included within "Business separation costs" on our condensed consolidated statement of income. These costs were primarily related to professional fees associated with separation activities within finance and legal functions.

2014 Restructuring Activities
Health and Nutrition Restructuring:
During the quarter ended March 31, 2014 our Health and Nutrition segment implemented a plan to restructure a portion of its operations. The objective of the restructuring was to better align our business and costs to macroeconomic and market realities. The restructuring decision resulted in workforce reductions at several of our Health and Nutrition facilities.

Letters of credit outstanding under our Credit Facility totaled $73.1 million and available funds under this facility were $821.0 million at March 31, 2014 (which reflects borrowings under our commercial paper program).
Covenants
Among other restrictions, our Credit Facility contains 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 March 31, 2014, was 2.6 which is below the maximum leverage of 3.5. Our actual interest coverage for the four consecutive quarters ended March 31, 2014, was 17.5 which is above the minimum interest coverage of 3.5. We were in compliance with all covenants at March 31, 2014.

Note 10: Discontinued Operations
FMC Peroxygens:
On February 28, 2014, we completed the previously disclosed sale of our FMC Peroxygens business for $199.1 million in cash to One Equity Partners (OEP), the private investment arm of J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. The sale resulted in approximately $193.0 million in after-tax proceeds and an additional pre-tax loss of $10.1 million ($39.0 million net of tax) for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The net of tax loss of $39.0 million was driven by the final allocation of the $199.1 million of proceeds which was agreed to between us and OEP on February 28, 2014. The majority of the proceeds were allocated to higher taxing jurisdictions (i.e. United States) which resulted in tax expense within those jurisdictions, that were not offset by tax benefits from other taxing jurisdictions. We did not benefit the tax losses produced in those other taxing jurisdictions, as we do not expect the losses produced in those jurisdictions to be recoverable. The loss was recorded in discontinued operations, net of income taxes in our condensed consolidated income statements for the three months ended March 31, 2014.
The results of our discontinued FMC Peroxygens operations are summarized below:

Note 11: Environmental Obligations
We have reserves for potential environmental obligations, which management considers probable and for which a reasonable estimate of the obligation could be made. Accordingly, we have reserves of $221.0 million and $225.7 million, excluding recoveries, at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.
The estimated reasonably possible environmental loss contingencies, net of expected recoveries, exceed amounts accrued by approximately $170 million at March 31, 2014. 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. Potential environmental obligations that have not been reserved may be material to any one quarter's or year's results of operations in the future. However, we believe any such 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.

A more complete description of our environmental contingencies and the nature of our potential obligations are included in Notes 1 and 10 to our consolidated financial statements in our 2013 Form 10-K. The following represents significant updates that occurred in 2014 related to these contingencies.
Pocatello Tribal Litigation
Following a trial on certain jurisdictional issues which occurred during April 2014, the Shoshone-Bannock Tribal Appellate Court issued a Statement of Decision finding in favor of the Tribes’ jurisdiction over FMC and awarding costs on appeal to the Tribes. Further post-trial proceedings are expected in the Tribal Appellate Court during the second quarter of 2014.
The finding by the Shoshone-Bannock Tribal Appellate Court during April 2014 does not impact our reserves for the period ended March 31, 2014. After we exhaust the Tribal administrative and judicial process, we intend to file an action in the United States District Court seeking declaratory and injunctive relief on the grounds that the Tribes lacked jurisdiction over us. We will argue that in accordance with a U.S. Supreme Court decision, we neither consented to jurisdiction, nor engaged in conduct that threatened the political integrity, economic security or health and welfare of tribal members; therefore, the exceptions under which Tribes may assert jurisdiction over non-Indian owners of fee land within a reservation have not been met.
We have estimated a reasonably possible loss for this matter and it has been reflected in our total reasonably possible loss estimate previously discussed within this note.
Middleport
In 2013 we received from the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation ("NYSDEC"), the Final Statement of Basis ("FSOB"). The FSOB includes the same Corrective Action Management Alternative (“CMA”) as the Preliminary Statement of Basis, which we continue to believe is overly conservative and is not consistent with the Administrative Order on Consent, which governs the remedy selection.
In order to negotiate with the NYSDEC with respect to the FSOB, we entered into a tolling agreement with the NYSDEC. The tolling agreement serves as a “standstill” agreement to the FSOB so that time spent negotiating with the NYSDEC does not go against the statute of limitations under the FSOB. The tolling agreement expired on April 30, 2014. We were not able to reach an

15

Table of Contents

FMC CORPORATION
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) — (Continued)

agreement with the NYSDEC; thus, on May 1, 2014, we submitted a Notice of Dispute to the United States Environmental Protection Agency seeking review of the remedy chosen by the NYSDEC.
The amount of the reserve for this site is $40.8 million at March 31, 2014 and $41.7 million at December 31, 2013. Our reserve continues to include the estimated liability for clean-up to reflect the costs associated with our recommended CMA. Our estimated reasonably possible environmental loss contingencies exposure reflects the additional cost of the CMA proposed in the FSOB.

Note 12: 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. There were 312,000 potential common shares excluded from Diluted EPS for the three months ended March 31, 2014. There were no potential common shares excluded from Diluted EPS for the three months ended March 31, 2013.
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 number of 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:

Dividends and Share Repurchases
For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, we paid $18.0 million and $18.7 million, respectively, in dividends declared in previous periods. On April 17, 2014, we paid dividends totaling $20.1 million to our shareholders of record as of March 31, 2014. This amount is included in “Accrued and other liabilities” on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2014.
 
During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we did not repurchase any shares under the publicly announced repurchase program. At March 31, 2014, $250.0 million remained unused under our Board-authorized repurchase program. 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.

The reclassification of historical cumulative translation adjustments was the result of the divestiture of our FMC Peroxygens business during the quarter ended March 31, 2014. The loss recognized from this reclassification is considered permanent for tax purposes and therefore no tax has been provided. See Note 10 for more information. In accordance with accounting guidance, this amount was previously factored into the lower of cost or fair value test associated with the 2013 Peroxygens' asset held for sale write-down charges.

Settlement charge is associated with the acceleration of previously deferred pension actuarial losses and was triggered by a lump-sum payout to certain former executives.

We made voluntary cash contributions to our U.S. defined benefit pension plan of $17.0 million and $13.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2014 and March 31, 2013. We expect to make approximately $50 million in voluntary cash contributions to our U.S. defined benefit pension plan during 2014.

Note 16: Income Taxes
Provision for income taxes was $39.3 million resulting in an effective tax rate of 24.6 percent compared to a provision of $45.4 million resulting in an effective tax rate of 24.7 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Note 17: 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:
Financial Instrument
  
Valuation Method
Foreign exchange forward contracts
  
Estimated amounts that would be received or paid to terminate the contracts at the reporting date based on current market prices for applicable currencies.
 
 
 
Commodity forward and option contracts
  
Estimated amounts that would be received or paid to terminate the contracts at the reporting date based on quoted market prices for applicable commodities.
 
 
 
Debt
  
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 and commodity forward and option contracts are included in the tables within this Note. The estimated fair value of debt is $1,881.1 million and $1,895.8 million and the carrying amount is $1,812.5 million and $1,851.9 million as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

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 (Note 18). 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.
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. A detailed description of these risks including a discussion on the concentration of credit risk is provided in Note 18 to our consolidated financial statements on our 2013 Form 10-K.
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.
Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
Cash Flow Hedges
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 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 March 31, 2014, we had open foreign currency forward contracts in AOCI in a net after tax loss position of $4.6 million designated as cash flow hedges of underlying forecasted sales and purchases. Current open contracts hedge forecasted transactions until December 31, 2014. At March 31, 2014, we had open forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges with various expiration dates to buy, sell or exchange foreign currencies with a U.S. dollar equivalent of approximately $463.6 million.
As of March 31, 2014, we had current open commodity contracts in AOCI in a net after tax gain position of $0.8 million designated as cash flow hedges of underlying forecasted purchases, primarily related to natural gas. Current open commodity contracts hedge forecasted transactions until December 31, 2015. At March 31, 2014, we had an equivalent of 5.1 mmBTUs (millions of British Thermal Units) in aggregate notional volume of outstanding natural gas commodity forward contracts to hedge forecasted purchases.
Of the $3.8 million of net losses after-tax, representing both open foreign currency exchange contracts and commodity contracts, approximately $3.7 million of these losses would be realized in earnings during the twelve months ending March 31, 2015 and $0.1 million of net losses will be realized subsequent to March 31, 2015, if spot rates in the future are consistent with forward rates as of March 31, 2014. 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 condensed consolidated statements of income.
 
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. We occasionally hold call options that are effective as economic hedges of a portion of our natural gas exposure and the change in fair value of this instrument is also recorded in earnings. We periodically hold soybean barter contracts which qualify as derivatives and we have entered into offsetting commodity contracts to hedge our exposure. Both the change in fair value of the soybean barter contracts and the offsetting commodity contracts are recorded in earnings.
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 $1,083.8 million at March 31, 2014. We held an immaterial amount of bushels, in aggregate notional volume of outstanding soybean contracts, to hedge outstanding barter contracts at March 31, 2014.

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.

Recurring Fair Value Measurements
The following tables present our fair-value hierarchy for those assets and liabilities measured at fair-value on a recurring basis in our condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. During the periods presented there were no transfers between fair-value hierarchy levels.
