What Changed
Risk factors · Feb 28, 2025 → Feb 27, 2026279 added · 46 removed between the two most recent 10-Ks. The risks a company starts — or stops — disclosing are often the story.
Newly disclosed
- During 2025, our stock price declined by more than 70% from its 52-week high and, at times, fell over 35% in a single week following earnings announcements and revised revenue guidance.
- If we need to raise additional capital in the future, for example, to maintain adequate liquidity, refinance maturing obligations, or fund strategic initiatives, our non-investment-grade status could result in higher financing costs and more restrictive terms.
- This regulatory uncertainty may cause restrictions or bans on certain products, coupled with increased litigation risks due to opaque compliance requirements, as well as difficulty in long-term planning and investment decisions, which adversely impact product development and reformulation.
- However, third parties may seek to enter markets with infringing products or may find alternative production methods that avoid infringement. 19 Table of Contents We may not be successful in litigating to enforce our patents due to the risks inherent in any litigation.
- There is no guarantee that administrative guidance or rules will remain unchanged or that the US government will adopt the global tax rules in accordance with the OECD approach, either of which could impact the value of the incentives granted to us and which could potentially lead to significant future international tax disputes. 20 Table of Contents We may incur significant non-cash charges if our long-lived assets become impaired in the future.
- The process of impairment testing involves a number of judgments and estimates made by management, including the fair values of assets and liabilities, future cash flows, our interpretation of current economic indicators and market conditions, overall economic conditions and our strategic operational plans with regard to our portfolio.
- If our long-lived assets are determined to be impaired in the future, we may be required to record non-cash charges to earnings during the period in which the impairment is determined, which could be significant and have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
- See Note 1 “ Principal Accounting Policies and Related Financial Information ,” Note 10 “ Environmental Obligations ” and Note 19 “ Guarantees, Commitments and Contingencies ” in the notes to our consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-K for a description of our material pending legal proceedings.
- If our actual results differ materially from our guidance, including as a result of our assumptions not being met or the occurrence of various risks and uncertainties that could impact our financial performance, the market value of our common stock could decline significantly.
- Anti-takeover provisions in our charter documents and under Delaware law could make an acquisition of us more difficult, may diminish the value of our common stock, and may prevent attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our current management.
- These provisions may delay or prevent an acquisition of us, even if the acquisition may be considered beneficial by some of our stockholders, and could limit the opportunity for our stockholders to receive a premium for their shares of our common stock.
- Furthermore, the loss of or failure to obtain necessary federal, state, provincial or local permits and registrations at one or more of our facilities could halt or curtail operations at impacted facilities, which could result in impairment charges related to the affected facility and otherwise adversely affect our operating results.
No longer disclosed
- For example, drought may reduce the need for fungicides, which could result in fewer sales and greater unsold inventories in the market, whereas excessive rain could lead to increased plant disease or weed growth requiring growers to purchase and use more pesticides.
- All of these items may have significant costs or capital expenditures. • Litigation and environmental risks – Current reserves relating to our ongoing litigation and environmental liabilities may ultimately prove to be inadequate, which may have a material adverse impact on our results of operations.
- Moreover, we may incur asset impairment charges related to acquisitions or divestitures that negatively impact earnings and our financial position. • Technological and new product discovery/development – Our ability to compete successfully depends in part upon our ability to maintain a superior technological capability and to continue to identify, develop and commercialize new and 15 Table of Contents innovative, high value-added products for existing and future customers.
- There is no guarantee that administrative guidance or rules will remain unchanged or that the US government will adopt the global tax rules in accordance with the OECD approach, either of which could impact the value of the incentives granted to us and which could potentially lead to significant future international tax disputes. • Uncertain recoverability of investments in long-lived assets – We have significant investments in long-lived assets and continually review the carrying value of these assets for recoverability in light of changing market conditions and alternative product sourcing opportunities.
- Without waivers from lenders party to those agreements, any such default could have a material adverse effect on our ability to continue to operate. 18 Table of Contents • Exposure to global economic conditions – Deterioration in the global economy and worldwide credit and foreign exchange markets could adversely affect our business.
- For example, prolonged increase in average temperature may make northern lands suitable for growing crops not grown historically in such climates, leading growers to shift crop type.
- Unmanaged or poorly managed system and hardware changes across the enterprise may disrupt operations, introduce vulnerabilities, and result in increased maintenance. • Potential tax implications of FMC Lithium separation – We received an opinion from outside counsel to the effect that the spin-off of FMC Lithium as a distribution to our stockholders, completed in March 2019, qualified as a non-taxable transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
- Customers in weakened economies may be unable to purchase our products, or it could become more expensive for them to purchase imported products in their local currency, or sell their commodities at prevailing international prices, and we may be unable to collect receivables from such customers. • Restructuring – In 2023, we implemented a global restructuring plan, which is referred to as “Project Focus,” designed to right-size our cost base and optimize our footprint and organizational structure with a focus on driving significant cost improvement and productivity in light of the precipitous drop in demand across the crop protection industry in 2023.
- We may not be successful in litigating to enforce our patents due to the risks inherent in any litigation.
- At this time, the scope and potential impact of these technologies are largely unknown but could have the potential to disrupt our business. • Climate conditions – Our markets are affected by climatic conditions, both chronic and acute, which could adversely impact crop yields, pricing and pest infestations.
- The nature of these events makes them difficult to predict. • Geographic cyclicality – While our business is well balanced geographically, in any given calendar quarter a certain geography(ies) may predominate the demand for our products in light of seasonal variations typically associated with the crop protection market and the geographic regions in which we operate.
- Unexpected market conditions in any such predominating geography, such as adverse weather, pest pressures, or other risks described herein, may impact our business if occurring during a calendar quarter in which such geography is predominating. • Changing regulatory environment and public perception – Changes in the regulatory environment, particularly in the U.S., Brazil, China, India, Argentina and the European Union, could adversely impact our ability to continue producing and/or selling certain products in our domestic and foreign markets or could increase the cost of doing so.
