JBT Corporation Reports First Quarter 2019 Results
On Track for Continued Growth and Margin Expansion in 2019

CHICAGO, April 29, 2019-JBT Corporation (NYSE: JBT), a leading global technology solutions provider to high-value segments of the food & beverage industry, today reported results for the first quarter of 2019.
“Our first quarter gains demonstrate JBT’s ongoing ability to reshape operations for greater efficiency and productivity,” said Tom Giacomini, Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer. “We are raising our full-year revenue and earnings guidance and are on track to deliver significant earnings growth.”
JBT benefited from favorable timing of customer shipments and production levels in the first quarter of 2019. Year-over-year revenue growth of 2 percent to $418 million consisted of 14 percent organic growth and 3 percent from acquisitions, offset by a 12 percent decline reflecting the absence of the ASC 606 transition benefit in the first quarter of 2018 and a 3 percent headwind from foreign exchange translation.
Operating income was $30.0 million in the first quarter of 2019, including restructuring expense of $5.9 million. Segment operating profit increased 66 percent year over year with a 450 basis point margin expansion to 11.7 percent.
Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations was $0.62 for the first quarter of 2019 compared with $0.05 in the first quarter of 2018. Adjusted earnings per share was $0.77 compared with $0.35 in the year-ago period.

Orders and Backlog
“Orders were consistent with expectations in the first quarter of 2019 and support our revenue guidance for the full year,” said Brian Deck, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer.
First quarter 2019 orders increased 5 percent from the year-ago period, with a decline of 3 percent at FoodTech and a 26 percent gain at AeroTech. Backlog expanded 9 percent from the first quarter of 2018.





Restructuring Program
In the first quarter of 2019, JBT recorded restructuring charges of $5.9 million as part of the previously announced, companywide program to reshape operations. Progress on the initiatives yielded savings of more than $5 million in the period.
Acquisitions
In a separate news release dated April 29, 2019, JBT announced a definitive agreement to acquire Proseal, a leading provider of tray sealing technology. “We are pleased about substantially increasing JBT’s end-of-line packaging solutions with an environmentally-friendly technology that serves the growing market for convenience foods,” continued Giacomini.
Outlook
“Based on our first quarter performance, we are raising full-year guidance,” added Deck. For 2019, the Company anticipates organic growth of 4 - 5 percent and growth from completed acquisitions of 2 - 3 percent, partially offset by a 1 percent headwind from foreign exchange translation. Reported revenue is expected to be flat year over year, reflecting $127 million of revenue included in 2018 results associated with the transition to ASC 606.

JBT forecasts diluted earnings per share from continuing operations in the range of $4.00 - $4.20 in 2019, or an adjusted $4.35 - $4.55.

For the second quarter of 2019, JBT projects revenue of approximately $475 million. The Company expects diluted earnings per share from continuing operations of $0.93 - $0.98 or $1.05 - $1.10 on an adjusted basis.

(1)    Beginning in the first quarter of 2019, we changed our presentation of non-GAAP measures to exclude M&A related costs, specifically amortization of inventory step up, integration costs, and transaction expenses. We evaluate operational performance and operating trends after excluding certain expenses incurred to fulfill our acquisition strategy. M&A related costs are excluded from the prior year results to conform to the current year presentation.
(2)    Impact on tax provision was calculated using the Company’s annual effective tax rate of 24.6% and 25.0% for March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
The above table reports adjusted income from continuing operations and adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations, which are non-GAAP financial measures. We use these measures internally to make operating decisions and for the planning and forecasting of future periods, and therefore provide this information to investors because we believe it allows more meaningful period-to-period comparisons of our ongoing operating results, without the fluctuations in the amount of certain costs that do not reflect our underlying operating results.

M&A related costs are excluded from the prior year results to conform to the current year presentation.
The above table reports EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, which are non-GAAP financial measures. Given the Company’s focus on growth through acquisitions, management believes EBITDA facilitates an evaluation of business performance while excluding the impact of amortization due to the step up in value of intangible assets, and the depreciation of fixed 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.

(1) Restructuring expense is estimated to be approximately $4 million for Q2 and $10-15 million for full year of 2019. The mid-point amount has been divided by our estimate of 32.2 million total shares and dilutive securities to derive the earnings per share value.
 
 
 
 
(2) M&A related costs are estimated to be between $1-2 million for Q2 and $2-3 million for full year of 2019. The mid-point amount has been divided by our estimate of 32.2 million total shares and dilutive securities to derive the earnings per share value. Beginning in the first quarter of 2019, we changed our presentation of non-GAAP measures to exclude M&A related costs, specifically amortization of inventory step up, integration costs, and transaction expenses.

M&A related costs are excluded from the prior year results to conform to the current year presentation.
 
 
 
 
(3) Impact on tax provision was calculated using the Company's expected tax rate to be incurred on these costs of approximately 25%.

(1) Segment operating profit is defined as total segment revenue less segment operating expenses. Corporate expense, restructuring expense, interest income and expense, pension expense other than service, and income taxes are not allocated to the segments. Corporate expense generally includes corporate staff-related expense, stock-based compensation, LIFO adjustments, certain foreign currency related gains and losses, and the impact of unusual or strategic events not representative of segment operations.

(2) Total segment operating profit, as presented elsewhere in this release, is a non-GAAP measure.  The table above includes a reconciliation of total segment operating profit to operating income.  We believe that this measure provides to investors a more comprehensive understanding of the information used by management in evaluating the performance of its segment operations.  It is not intended to nor shall be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

The above table reports Free cash flow, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. We use Free cash flow internally as a key indicator of our liquidity and ability to service debt, invest in business combinations, and return money to shareholders and believe this information is useful to investors because it provides an understanding of the cash available to fund these initiatives. For Free cash flow purposes we consider contributions to pension plans to more comparable to payment of debt, and therefore excluded these contributions from the calculation of Free cash flow.
