(1) Results for all segments are net of noncontrolling interests in 2010, 2009 and 2008 of $12.4 million, $10.3 million and $17.0 million, respectively. The majority of which pertains to our Industrial Chemicals segment. 

The following chart, which is provided to assist the readers of our financial statements, depicts certain after-tax charges (gains). These items are excluded by us in the measures we use to evaluate business performance and determine certain performance-based compensation. These after-tax items are discussed in detail within the “Other results of operations” section that follows. Additionally, the chart below discloses our Non-GAAP financial measure “After-tax income from continuing operations, excluding restructuring and other income and charges” reconciled from the GAAP financial measure “Net income attributable 

to FMC stockholders”. We believe that this measure provides useful information about our operating results to investors and securities analysts. We also believe that excluding the effect of restructuring and other income and charges from operating results allows management and investors to compare more easily the financial performance of our underlying businesses from period to period. This measure should not be considered as a substitute for net income (loss) or other measures of performance or liquidity reported in accordance with GAAP.
