FMC Corporation has announced its financial results for the third quarter of 2026, revealing a significant decline in revenue and a substantial net loss. The company reported revenue of $106 million, a staggering drop of $436 million compared to the same period last year. This decline is largely attributed to a $639 million negative impact from previously announced commercial actions.

FMC’s consolidated GAAP net loss reached $2.07 billion, marking a decline of $1.50 billion from Q3 2025. This loss was driven by non-cash adjustments related to deferred tax assets and intangible assets, as well as the adverse effects of the commercial actions. The adjusted EBITDA also reflected a negative figure of $559 million, down $795 million from the previous year.

The company’s adjusted loss per diluted share was reported at $4.41, a decrease of $5.30 compared to the same quarter in 2025. Despite the financial turmoil, FMC reported a GAAP cash flow from operations of $7 million, which is an increase of $191 million from the previous year. However, free cash flow was negative $18 million, although this represented an improvement of $214 million from Q3 2025.
