Commercial Actions Reshape Results

Excluding India and those commercial actions, revenue was 745 million US dollars, down 22 percent from the comparable prior-year period. Volume declined 21 percent, while price fell 2 percent and foreign currency provided a 1 percent tailwind.
Outlook Shifts To Execution

FMC said the actions are expected to transition over the next three quarters as customer discussions continue.
