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 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. 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)

For the three months ended March 31, 2015, the average number of shares outstanding used in diluted adjusted after-tax earnings from continuing operations per share computation (Non-GAAP) includes 0.8 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 attributable to FMC stockholders.

(a)  

Three Months Ended March 31, 2016:

Restructuring and other charges (income) includes charges of $3.2 million representing adjustments to severance and asset write-offs primarily associated with the integration of Cheminova with Agricultural Solutions. Amounts also include $4.2 million as a result of the Argentina government's action to devalue its currency Additionally, restructuring and other charges includes charges of continuing environmental sites treated as a Corporate charge of $6.6 million. Remaining restructuring and other charges (income) includes net miscellaneous charges (income) of ($1.6) million.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2015:

Restructuring and other charges (income) includes 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. Additionally, restructuring and other charges includes charges of $2.1 million associated with a reorganization of our Health and Nutrition segment and continuing environmental sites treated as a Corporate charge of  $1.9 million. Remaining restructuring and other charges (income) includes net miscellaneous charges of $3.3 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)  

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

Discontinued operations includes provisions, net of recoveries, for environmental liabilities,  legal reserves and expenses related to previously discontinued operations.  Discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2015 also include the results of the FMC Alkali business.

(e)  

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 related interim accounting impacts; 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.
