The Company believes that the Non-GAAP financial measure "Adjusted After-Tax Earnings from Continuing Operations, Attributable to FMC Stockholders" ("Adjusted earnings"), and its presentation on a per share basis, provides useful information about the Company's operating results to investors and securities analysts. Adjusted earnings excludes the effects of Corporate special charges, tax-related 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.

(a)

Three Months Ended December 31, 2022:

Restructuring and other charges (income) includes $2.1 million of severance and employee separation costs, $3.0 million related to fixed asset charges, and $2.7 million of other restructuring related charges incurred as part of various restructuring initiatives.  These restructuring charges were offset by a gain of $50.5 million recognized on the disposition of land related to a closed manufacturing facility. Other charges of $36.9 million relate primarily to environmental charges.

Three Months Ended December 31, 2021: 

Restructuring and other charges (income) is partially comprised of charges of environmental sites of $23.8 million. There were restructuring charges of $10.9 million associated with certain in-flight restructuring programs from the integration of the DuPont Crop Protection Business, which primarily reflects non-cash charges and to a lesser extent remaining severance. Restructuring charges associated with the DuPont program were largely complete as of December 31, 2021. Restructuring and other charges also includes an additional $9.7 million to increase reserves for certain historical India indirect tax matters that were triggered in the third quarter of 2021. Other restructuring charges from severance and accelerated deprecation for site closures were $11.3 million.

Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2022:

Restructuring and other charges (income) is primarily comprised of $76.8 million in exit charges related to our decision to cease operations and business in Russia.  Restructuring and other charges (income) is also comprised 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. These restructuring charges were partially offset by a gain of $50.5 million recognized on the disposition of land related to a closed manufacturing facility. Other charges of $42.4 million relate primarily to environmental charges.

Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2021:

Restructuring and other charges (income) is comprised of costs related to historical India indirect tax matters of $33.5 million for the establishment of reserves which were largely triggered in the third quarter of 2021. These charges also include charges associated with certain in-flight restructuring programs from the integration of the DuPont Crop Protection Business, including severance, accelerated depreciation on certain fixed assets, and other costs of $16.7 million, which primarily reflects non-cash charges and to a lesser extent remaining severance. Restructuring charges associated with the DuPont program were largely complete as of December 31, 2021. Additionally, restructuring and other charges (income) is comprised of regional realignment activities, primarily the move of our European headquarters, including severance and employee relocation costs, of $11.0 million. These charges also include severance and restructuring charges of $13.4 million from other restructuring programs, as well as environmental sites and other miscellaneous charges of $27.1 million and $6.3 million, respectively.

(b)

Our non-operating pension and postretirement charges (income) are defined as those costs (benefits) related to interest, expected return on plan assets, amortized actuarial gains and losses and the impacts of any plan curtailments or settlements. These are excluded from our Adjusted Earnings and 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 continue to include the service cost and amortization of prior service cost in our Adjusted Earnings results noted above. These elements reflect the current year operating costs to our businesses for the employment benefits provided to active employees.

(c)

Charges related to legal and professional fees associated with acquisition activities, primarily associated with the DuPont Crop Protection Business Acquisition.   

(d)

The income tax expense (benefit) on Corporate special charges (income) is determined using the applicable rates in the taxing jurisdictions in which the Corporate special charge or income occurred and includes both current and deferred income tax expense (benefit) based on the nature of the non-GAAP performance measure.

(e)

Three and Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2022 and 2021:

Discontinued operations for all periods presented includes provisions, net of recoveries, for environmental liabilities and legal reserves and expenses related to previously discontinued operations and retained liabilities. Discontinued operations, net of income taxes for the twelve months ended December 31, 2021 also includes a gain on sale, net of tax, of approximately $15.4 million, from the sale of land at two separate discontinued sites.

(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 annual Non-GAAP effective tax rate. The GAAP tax provision includes certain discrete tax items including, but 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.

The cash provided (required) by operating activities for the three months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 is the calculation of the twelve months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 less the previously reported nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

(2)

Adjusted cash from operations is defined as cash provided (required) by operating activities of continuing operations excluding the effects of transaction-related cash flows.

(3)

Amounts for the year ended December 31, 2022 include proceeds of of $50.5 million received on the disposition of land related to a closed manufacturing facility.

(4)

Free cash flow is defined as Adjusted cash from operations reduced by spending for capital additions and other investing activities as well as legacy and transformation spending. We believe that this Non-GAAP financial measure 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 and return capital to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends.
