Outlook
Regarding the outlook for 2013, Pierre Brondeau, FMC president, chief executive officer and chairman said, "For the second quarter of 2013, we anticipate adjusted earnings of $0.87 to $0.97 per diluted share. We expect continued strength in Agricultural Products, with segment earnings in the second quarter to be up in the mid- to high-single digits percent versus a very strong second quarter in 2012. "
"For the full year 2013, we have raised our midpoint guidance by 9 cents, reflecting increased certainty in the full year outlook. We expect to deliver full-year adjusted earnings of $3.93 to $4.07 per diluted share, a 15 percent increase over 2012 at the midpoint of this range. We expect stronger performance from our Agricultural Products segment driven by volume growth globally, particularly in North America, Latin America and Asia due to strong market conditions and growth in new products.” said Brondeau.
