Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
Financial Information and Accounting Policies | Financial Information and Accounting Policies In our opinion the condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) applicable to interim period financial statements and reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, and our financial positions as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. All such adjustments included herein are of a normal, recurring nature unless otherwise disclosed in the Notes. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the full year. The condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, and the related condensed consolidated statements of income (loss) and condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 and condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, have been reviewed by our independent registered public accountants. The review is described more fully in their report included herein. Our accounting policies are set forth in detail in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements included with our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the year ended December 31, 2016 (the “2016 10-K”). Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year's presentation. FMC Health and Nutrition: In March 2017, as a result of the expected transaction with E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company (“DuPont") and further discussed in Note 3, our FMC Health and Nutrition segment was classified as a discontinued operation. For more information on our discontinued operations see Note 10. We have recast all the data within this filing to present FMC Health and Nutrition as a discontinued operation retrospectively for all periods presented.
