Current report

Our second quarter of 2025 financial performance exceeded our expectations, which was primarily driven by better than expected recurring revenue, foreign exchange translation, and operating leverage. Orders were healthy with strength across diverse end markets, including poultry, meat, fruit and vegetables, beverages, and ready meals.

Current report

Looking ahead, we anticipate that our second half of 2025 performance will be impacted by the evolving costs of tariffs. We continue to take proactive measures to mitigate tariff impacts on our products. These actions include reshoring third-party suppliers, vendor concessions, and further pricing considerations.

Current report

Gross profit margin increased to 35.8% compared to 35.6% in the same period last year. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the JBT segment's gross profit margin from a higher volume of recurring revenue, partially offset by a lower gross profit margin of the acquired Marel business.

Current report

Selling, general and administrative expense increased $140.0 million compared to the same period in the prior year. This increase was primarily driven by the acquisition of Marel and higher costs associated with the integration. Selling, general and administrative expense as a percentage of revenue decreased by 60 bps to 26.8% compared to 27.4% in the same period last year. This decrease was primarily the result of better operating leverage from higher revenue as well as savings from our JBT Marel 2025 Integration restructuring plan.

Current report

The loss on investment of $10.6 million incurred during the three months ended June 30, 2025 relates to the Company's exit of an investment related to the acquisition of Marel.

Current report

The Company's tax rate on the income from continuing operations was 68.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The tax rate was high due to the combination of low pre-tax income, the impact of discrete items totaling $2.6 million, primarily driven by a non-deductible loss on investment, and changes to the full year forecasted tax rate.

Current report

The Company's tax rate on the income from continuing operations was (12.0)% for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was favorably impacted by discrete items totaling $9.2 million, primarily driven by a non-recurring tax benefit related to an internal reorganization.

Current report

Income (loss) from continuing operations and Adjusted EBITDA

Current report

Income from continuing operations for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was $3.4 million compared to $30.7 million for the same period in 2024, representing a decrease of $27.3 million. The decrease was primarily due to higher interest expense, loss on investment, and the impact of discrete items on our income tax provision. This was partially offset by the operating income from the acquired Marel business, higher gross profit for the JBT segment, and savings from our JBT Marel 2025 Integration restructuring plan.

Current report

Income from continuing operations margin decreased 720 bps to 0.4% compared to 7.6% for the same period in 2024. This decrease is the result of higher integration costs, higher interest expense, loss on investment, and the impact of discrete items on our income tax provision compared to the same period in 2024. However, Adjusted EBITDA margin increased 90 bps to 16.7% compared to 15.8% for the same period in 2024, primarily attributable to an increase in savings from our JBT Marel 2025 Integration restructuring plan as well as due to better operating leverage from higher revenue. This was partially offset by a lower gross profit margin for the acquired Marel business relative to the JBT business.

Current report

The loss on investment of $10.6 million incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2025 relates to the Company's exit of an investment related to the acquisition of Marel.

Current report

Interest income decreased $7.2 million compared to the same period in 2024. This decrease was due to the Company having lower cash balances on hand to invest after funding the Marel Transaction in the first quarter of 2025.

Current report

The Company's tax rate on the income from continuing operations was 8.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was favorably impacted by discrete items totaling $8.2 million, primarily driven by a non-recurring deferred tax benefit related to an internal reorganization.

Current report

Income (loss) from continuing operations and Adjusted EBITDA

Current report

Loss from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $169.6 million compared to income from continuing operations of $53.4 million for the same period in 2024, representing a decrease of $223.0 million. The decrease was primarily due to higher pension expense other than service cost, interest expense, loss on investment, and the impact of discrete items on our income tax provision. This was partially offset by the operating income from the acquired Marel business, higher gross profit for the JBT segment, and savings from our JBT Marel 2025 Integration restructuring plan.

Current report

•Marel segment Adjusted EBITDA was $126.0 million and segment Adjusted EBITDA margin was 13.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2025.

Removed paragraphs (8)

Previous report

Our first quarter financial performance exceeded our expectations driven by strong execution on our equipment projects. We experienced meaningful year-over-year growth in revenue as a result of the Marel acquisition, and we generated more than half of our revenue from resilient recurring revenue products and services. Our order demand demonstrated the benefits of our diverse and holistic end-market solutions, with healthy demand in global poultry, beverages, pharmaceuticals, and pet food.

Previous report

The potential outcomes from global trade and tariff policies are creating increased uncertainty and costs. We expect to incur direct costs from imposed tariffs as of the date of this filing, and we are taking proactive measures to mitigate impacts on our cost exposure, including price increases, vendor concessions, and reshoring of third-party suppliers. It is difficult to ascertain how the macroeconomic uncertainty that is resulting from tariffs and trade policies might impact global demand for the back half of 2025.

Previous report

•Marel contributed $445.3 million of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Previous report

The Company's tax rate on the income from continuing operations was 26.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The tax provision for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was increased by discrete items totaling $1.0 million, primarily driven by tax expense related to stock compensation and a valuation allowance increase.

Previous report

The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development established a framework to implement a global minimum corporate tax of 15% for companies with global revenues and profits above certain thresholds (referred to as Pillar Two), with certain aspects of Pillar Two effective January 1, 2024 and other aspects effective January 1, 2025, depending on the jurisdictions in which the Company operates. While it is uncertain whether the U.S. will enact legislation to adopt Pillar Two, certain countries in which the Company operates have enacted legislation, and other countries are in the process of introducing legislation, to implement Pillar Two. Pillar Two did not have a material impact on the Company's effective tax rate, consolidated results of operations, financial position, or cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Previous report

Beginning in 2022, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 eliminated the option to deduct research and development expenditures immediately in the year incurred and required taxpayers to amortize such expenditures in the U.S. over five years. As a result, we expect an adverse impact of approximately $7 million to our cash from continuing operations in 2025.

Previous report

As of March 31, 2025, we had four interest rate swaps executed in March 2020 with a combined notional amount of $200 million which expired in April 2025, and one interest rate swap executed in May 2020 with a notional amount of $50 million expiring in May 2025. We have designated these swaps as cash flow hedges and all changes in fair value of the swaps are recognized in Accumulated other comprehensive income.

Our level of capital expenditures varies from time to time as a result of actual and anticipated business conditions. During 2025, we also expect to incur integration costs and other synergy-related costs in the range of $45 million to $55 million related to the acquisition of Marel.

Previous wording

As of March 31, 2025, we had $101.0 million of cash and cash equivalents, $41.3 million of which was held by our foreign subsidiaries. Although certain funds are considered permanently invested in our foreign subsidiaries, we are not presently aware of any restriction on the repatriation of these funds. We maintain significant operations outside of the U.S., and many of our uses of cash for working capital, capital expenditures and business acquisitions arise in these foreign jurisdictions. If these funds were needed to fund our operations or satisfy obligations in the U.S., they could be repatriated and their repatriation into the U.S. could cause us to incur additional U.S. income tax and foreign withholding taxes. The foreign withholding taxes on these repatriations to the U.S. would potentially be partially offset by U.S. foreign tax credits.

Interest expense increased $67.2 million compared to same period last year. The increase was driven by a higher average debt balance as well as higher interest rates on additional borrowings to fund the Marel Transaction in the first quarter of 2025, compared to same period in 2024. Additional borrowing was drawn from our revolving credit facility and Term Loan B that was executed on January 2, 2025.
