Filing Highlights

Financial Performance

Q1 2025 revenue was $791.4M, a 14% decrease YoY, primarily driven by a decline in pricing and lower volumes in most regions. Pricing pressures were attributed to adjustments on cost-plus contracts with specific diamide partners due to lower manufacturing costs.

Gross margin increased to approximately 40% compared to 37% in the prior year period, despite a $23.0 million decrease in gross margin. The improvement in gross margin percent was primarily the result of lower raw material costs and favorable impacts of fixed costs absorption during the period.

Net loss attributable to FMC stockholders increased to $15.5 million, compared to a net loss of $2.7 million in the prior year period. Lower sales and increased selling, general and administrative and research and development spending contributed to the increase in net loss during the period.
