CHICAGO, October 22, 2024 - JBT Corporation(NYSE: JBT), a leading global technology solutions provider to high-value segments of the food & beverage industry, today reported results for the third quarter of 2024.

"We are pleased with our third quarter execution, which enabled record quarterly revenue, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EPS from continuing operations," said Brian Deck, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Additionally, we experienced continued recovery in demand from our global poultry customers, and our solid orders and backlog benefited from our diverse end market solutions."

Comparisons in this news release are to the comparable period of the prior year, unless otherwise noted. An earnings presentation with supplemental information is also available on the Company's Investor Relations website at https://ir.jbtc.com/events-and-presentations/.

Third Quarter 2024 Results

The below paragraphs reflect JBT's results from continuing operations. AeroTech's financial results were transitioned to discontinued operations beginning in the second quarter of 2023, and prior period financial results have been recast accordingly.

"For the third quarter of 2024, we achieved our target of double-digit year-over-year revenue and adjusted EBITDA growth," said Matt Meister, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer.


"Additionally, we delivered excellent cash flow, which was primarily driven by sequential earnings growth and improved working capital management."

Third quarter 2024 revenue of $454 million increased 12 percent year over year. Income from continuing operations of $38 million increased 23 percent. The improvement in income from continuing operations was driven by volume growth, restructuring and supply chain cost savings, and lower net interest expense, which was partially offset by higher M&A costs and a higher tax rate. Adjusted EBITDA of $82 million increased 23 percent and adjusted EBITDA margin of 18.0 percentincreased 160 basis points. Diluted EPS of $1.18 increased 22 percent, and adjusted EPS of $1.50increased 35 percent. Third quarter 2024 backlog totaled $698 million, and orders of $440 million improved 10 percent.

JBT generated year-to-date operating cash flow from continuing operations of $104 million and free cash flow of $79 million. JBT's net leverage ratio was 0.4x net debt to trailing twelve months adjusted EBITDA.

2024 Outlook

JBT is updating its full year 2024 guidance for income from continuing operations and GAAP EPS to account for JBT's plan to settle all outstanding obligations of its fully funded pension plan through the combination of voluntary lump sum payments and the purchase of an annuity contract. Accordingly, during the fourth quarter of 2024, JBT anticipates incurring approximately $28 - $32 million in a non-cash, pre-tax charge.

JBT is reiterating its guidance for revenue, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EPS.

Combination with Marel

Following completion of an in-depth preliminary review process, JBT received indication from the European Commission (E.C.) that the Company will be able to imminently notify the E.C. under the EU Merger Regulation of JBT's proposed acquisition of Marel (ICL: Marel). Upon submission of this notification, the E.C. will formally review the notification subject to its standard 25 working day Phase 1 review period.

In order to accommodate the E.C.'s formal review period, JBT and Marel will collaborate with the Financial Supervisory Authority of the Central Bank of Iceland to determine the corresponding extension of the voluntary takeover offer. The extension of the offer will provide an adequate amount of time following receipt of regulatory approvals for Marel shareholders to tender their shares, and JBT and Marel will issue public announcements regarding the extension of the offer. JBT expects to complete the remaining steps to close the transaction on or about the end of 2024.

During October 2024, JBT successfully secured commitments for its deal-contingent financing structure, consisting of a 5-year, amended and restated $1.8 billion revolving credit facility and a 7-year, $900 million Senior Secured Term Loan B. This is consistent with JBT's plan to establish a long-term financing structure. Upon the Marel transaction closing, JBT will terminate the €1.9 billion bridge financing facility.

The revolving credit facility will retain the same pricing grid as JBT's existing revolving credit facility. The Term Loan B was more than 3 times oversubscribed, and as a result, JBT secured pricing of SOFR plus 225 basis points. This pricing structure will step down to SOFR plus 200 basis points once leverage is below 3.25x. Additionally, the Term Loan B includes a ticking fee with no fees to be paid for the first 60 days following allocation of commitments, which occurred on October 9, 2024.

JBT expects to utilize its available cash, proceeds from the Term Loan B, and borrowings on its revolving credit facility to fund the cash portion of the Marel transaction, refinance Marel's existing debt, and pay transaction related fees and expenses. As a result, JBT expects to have ample liquidity at the time of the transaction close to support the ongoing operations of the combined company.

Third Quarter 2024 Earnings Conference Call

A conference call is scheduled for 10:00 a.m. ET on Wednesday, October 23, 2024, to discuss third quarter 2024 results.

This release contains forward-looking statements as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

JBT provides non-GAAP financial measures in order to increase transparency in our operating results and trends.

performance. Management uses these non-GAAP measures in financial and operational evaluation, planning and forecasting.

These calculations may differ from similarly-titled measures used by other companies. The non-GAAP financial measures disclosed are not intended to be used as a substitute for, nor should they be considered in isolation of, financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

(3) Impact on tax provision was calculated using the enacted rate for the relevant jurisdiction for each period shown.
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.

(1) Costs incurred as a direct result of the restructuring program are excluded because they are not part of the ongoing operations of our underlying business.
(2) Pension expense, other than service cost is excluded as it represents all non service-related pension expense, which consists of non-cash interest cost, expected return on plan assets and amortization of actuarial gains and losses.
(3) M&A related costs include integration costs, amortization of inventory step-up from business combinations, advisory and transaction costs for both potential and completed M&A transactions and strategy.
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 that adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors as a measure of the Company's operational performance and a way to evaluate and compare operating performance against peers in the Company's industry.
