CHICAGO, February 23, 2016-JBT Corporation (NYSE: JBT), a leading global technology solutions provider to high-value segments of the food & beverage industry, today reported results for the fourth quarter and full-year 2015.
Revenue for 2015 was $1.1 billion, an increase of 12.5 percent from 2014. On a constant currency basis, revenue increased 20.1 percent year over year, including organic revenue growth of 11.2 percent. Segment operating profit increased 20.4 percent, or 31.0 percent on a constant currency basis. Segment operating profit margin increased 73 basis points to 11.2 percent for 2015. Corporate expense for the year was $34.6 million compared to $37.5 million in 2014. Corporate expense in 2014 included management succession and consulting costs of $8.8 million.
Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations was $1.88 for 2015 versus $1.03 in 2014. Excluding restructuring charges of $14.5 million and the aforementioned management succession and consulting costs, adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations was $1.56 in 2014.
“JBT captured robust revenue growth and margin expansion for the fourth quarter and full year 2015, with strength across the board at our FoodTech and AeroTech businesses,” said Tom Giacomini, Chairman,
President and Chief Executive Officer. “Execution of our Next Level strategy is fundamentally changing the way we operate, expanding profitability and enhancing our growth prospects.”
Orders and Backlog
For 2015, inbound orders of $1.2 billion increased 25.0 percent, with a 27.0 percent gain at FoodTech and a 21.5 percent increase at AeroTech. On a constant currency basis, FoodTech orders were ahead 40.0 percent year over year, of which approximately one half was organic. Backlog expanded 42.0 percent from 2014.

Fourth quarter 2015 revenue increased 20.0 percent from the fourth quarter of 2014. On a constant currency basis, revenue increased 27.0 percent year over year.

Optimization Program
“We are building on the success of our Next Level strategy and investing in initiatives to further strengthen JBT’s competitive position and enhance growth and profitability,” added Giacomini. The optimization program will realign FoodTech’s Protein business in North America and Liquid Foods business in Europe; accelerate JBT’s strategic sourcing initiatives; and result in consolidation of smaller facilities. The Company expects to record $11 - $13 million in pre-tax charges in 2016, resulting in run-rate savings of more than $8 million by late 2017.
2016 Outlook
“We entered 2016 with strong order momentum that is reflected in our expanded backlog,” concluded Giacomini. For 2016, the Company anticipates revenue growth of approximately 15 percent, reflecting organic growth of 4 - 5 percent and acquisitive growth of about 10 percent. The Company expects total segment operating margin in 2016 to expand 25 - 50 basis points relative to 2015. The Company forecasts adjusted diluted earnings per share in the range of $2.15 - $2.30 in 2016, and $1.90 - $2.05 on a GAAP basis.

The tables above provide our operating income as adjusted by depreciation and amortization expense booked during the period to arrive at a segmental and consolidated EBITDA value. Further, we add back to EBITDA significant expenses that are not indicative of our ongoing operations to calculate an adjusted EBITDA for the two periods reported. Given the Company’s Next Level focus on growth through strategic acquisitions, management considers adjusted EBITDA to be an important non-GAAP measure. This measure allows us to monitor business performance while excluding the impact of amortization due to the step up in value of intangible assets. We use adjusted EBITDA internally to make operating decisions and believe this information is helpful to investors because it allows more meaningful period-to-period comparisons of our ongoing operating results. This information is not intended to nor should it be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. | |||||||||||||||||||
