CHICAGO, November 5, 2014—JBT Corporation(NYSE: JBT), a leading global technology solutions provider to the food processing and air transportation industries, today reported results for the third quarter of 2014.
Revenue for the third quarter was $243.2 million, an increase of 4 percent from the prior-year quarter. Segment operating profit increased 16 percent, led by segment operating margin expansion at both JBT FoodTech and JBT AeroTech. Corporate expense in the quarter was $8.0 million, including $1.2 million in management succession and consulting costs. In addition, the Company recorded a $1.3 million restructuring charge. Diluted earnings from continuing operations were $0.30 per share in the third quarter of 2014 compared to $0.25 per share in the year-ago period. Excluding restructuring charges and management succession and consulting costs, adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations increased 33% to $0.36, compared to $0.27 in the year-ago period.
Third quarter inbound orders of $263.8 million increased 7% year over year. Backlog of $427.3 million increased 17% over the prior-year period.
“The initial success of our restructuring and strategic pricing initiative is apparent in JBT’s expanding operating margins,” said Tom Giacomini, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. “On a longer-term basis, our Next Level strategy is establishing the foundation for faster revenue growth and increased profitability.”

2014 Outlook
For the full year, the Company projects earnings from continuing operations of $1.45 – $1.55 per share on an adjusted diluted basis and $0.92 – $1.02 on a GAAP basis. The adjusted projection excludes estimated restructuring costs of approximately $14 million, management succession costs of $7 million, and consulting costs of $3 million.
The Company continues to anticipate revenue growth in the mid-single digit range for 2014. It now expects segment operating margin to improve slightly more than previously projected, due to the effectiveness of the restructuring actions and strategic pricing initiatives. However, this improvement is expected to be offset by higher corporate expense, due to greater variable performance-based compensation and higher tax project spending.
