CHICAGO, August 6, 2012—JBT Corporation (NYSE: JBT), a leading global technology solutions provider to the food processing and air transportation industries, today reported second quarter 2012 results.
Revenue for the second quarter was $214.4 million, down 15 percent compared to the same period last year. Second quarter diluted earnings per share from continuing operations was $0.27 compared to $0.35 in the prior-year period. Second quarter inbound orders of $243 million and backlog of $308 million increased sequentially 2 percent and 10 percent, respectively. Aftermarket parts and service volume increased 9 percent year-over-year. Cash generated from operating activities totaled $31.9 million for the quarter. Debt, net of cash, was $104.9 million at quarter-end, a decline of $18.9 million from $123.8 million as of March 31, 2012.
“Our second quarter results were in line with our expectations. Higher overall aftermarket volume, segment operating profit margin expansion, and strong cash flow were highlights in the quarter. Additionally, we successfully executed a technology acquisition that strengthens our FoodTech product portfolio,” said Charlie Cannon, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Based on our current backlog, good order activity so far in the third quarter, and expected savings from our cost reduction initiatives, we are reaffirming our full-year earnings guidance range of $1.35 to $1.45,” concluded Cannon.
JBT FoodTech
JBT FoodTech’s second quarter revenue of $137.5 million decreased 6 percent in constant currency from the same period in 2011. Sales gains in freezing and chilling and protein processing equipment across North America, Asia-Pacific and Latin America, as well as overall stronger aftermarket volume, were more than offset by an unfavorable year-on-year comparison in the project-based tomato & fruit processing equipment business and lower freezing and chilling equipment volume in Europe. Segment operating profit of $14.1 million increased 8 percent in constant currency relative to the prior-year quarter. Segment operating profit margin increased by 120 basis points to 10 percent, largely driven by the higher aftermarket volume and savings from cost reduction initiatives announced in January 2012. Second quarter inbound orders of $162.9 million increased 5 percent year-over-year and 11 percent sequentially largely because of strong order activity in freezing and chilling equipment in North America. Backlog of $154.5 million increased 18 percent from the second quarter of 2011 and 20 percent sequentially. Lastly, in the second quarter JBT FoodTech acquired rotary sterilization technology from H.G. Molenaar & Co (Pty) Ltd., headquartered in Paarl, South Africa. This acquisition further strengthens JBT's in-container sterilization portfolio for the canned food industry.

JBT AeroTech
JBT AeroTech’s second quarter revenue of $77.7 million declined 20 percent from the same period in 2011. Strong gains in aftermarket volume and higher military loader sales were more than offset by lower gate equipment sales resulting from the anticipated production gap in the passenger boarding bridge product line. Despite the volume decline, segment operating profit of $7.5 million was essentially in line with the prior-year quarter. Segment operating profit margin increased by 180 basis points to 10 percent as a result of higher aftermarket volume, favorable product mix and a gain from the transfer of automated systems contracts and services for French hospital equipment to Swisslog, related to a collaboration agreement announced earlier this year. Second quarter inbound orders totaled $80.9 million, down 36 percent from the prior year primarily due to unfavorable comparisons against strong second-quarter 2011 order activity in gate equipment and automated systems. Backlog was $153.5 million, a decline of 23 percent year-over-year, but up 2 percent sequentially.
Corporate Items
Corporate items in the second quarter excluding net interest expense were $7.6 million, an increase of $3.4 million from the same period in 2011. The increase was driven primarily by a $1.7 million unfavorable mark-to-market impact on foreign currency positions, $0.6 million of costs related to the JBT FoodTech acquisition and other items.
Cash generated by operating activities was $31.9 million. The Company ended the quarter with debt, net of cash, of $104.9 million, a decline of $18.9 million from $123.8 million at March 31, 2012. Cash and cash equivalents and total debt positions at quarter end were higher relative to the prior-year period due to timing related to settlement of certain foreign subsidiary intercompany loans. Net interest expense for the quarter was $1.8 million, essentially flat relative to the second quarter of 2011.
Income tax expense in the second quarter of 2012 reflected an effective income tax rate for the full year of 35 percent.
Capital expenditures for the quarter totaled $5.9 million, and depreciation and amortization totaled $5.9 million.
2012 Outlook
The Company continues to expect modest top-line growth in 2012. Savings from strategic actions and typically stronger seasonal results in the second half of the year are expected to drive margin expansion in 2012. As a result, the Company is reaffirming its guidance range of $1.35 - $1.45 for 2012 diluted earnings per share from continuing operations. The Company will provide further market updates during tomorrow’s scheduled earnings call.
