Pressures on 2000 EBIT:
- Unrecovered energy cost increases
- Currency (Euro vs. U.S. $) movement
- Step up in Consent Decree spending
- One-time start-up costs in Astaris
<PAGE>
Recent Actions:
- Astaris JV (April 2000)
- Texas Gulf (July 1999)
- E-business
- Sustainable improvements in cost structures
FMC
<PAGE>
In 2001/02, we expect EBIT pick up:
- Increased prices particularly in soda ash and hydrogen peroxide
- Rationalization of phosphate chemicals capacity in Europe
- Increased synergies (est. $15M per year) in Astaris
- Containment (and potential reversal) of currency and energy impacts
