CHICAGO, Aug. 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- JBT Corporation (NYSE: JBT), a leading global technology solutions provider to the food processing and air transportation industries, today reported second quarter 2010 results.
Second quarter inbound orders of $242.4 million and backlog of $319.3 million increased from the prior year quarter by 33 percent and 24 percent, respectively. Inbound orders matched the level achieved in the first quarter of 2010 and backlog levels increased 12 percent sequentially. Revenue for the quarter was $208.3 million, down 10 percent from the prior year quarter. On a comparable basis, gross profit margin was essentially flat from the same period last year after excluding $1.3 million in restructuring charges incurred in the prior year quarter. Second quarter diluted earnings per share from continuing operations were $0.28, down from $0.34 for the same period a year ago. Debt, net of cash, was $124.6 million, down from $128.2 million in the first quarter of 2010.
"We are very pleased with our second quarter order activity. Inbound orders and backlog were up significantly year-over-year, indicative of the steady recovery we are seeing in many of our market segments. We are encouraged with this trend and are cautiously optimistic that our end markets will continue to improve," said Charlie Cannon, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "Our second quarter revenue and earnings were in line with our expectations. Based on the increase in our backlog and continued improving market conditions, we are maintaining our full-year earnings guidance range of $1.15-$1.30 with substantially stronger performance expected in the second half of 2010 versus the first half of the year."
JBT FoodTech
JBT FoodTech's second quarter revenue of $135.6 million declined 7 percent from the prior year quarter as higher current year demand for freezing and protein processing product lines was more than offset by unfavorable year-over-year comparisons due to the delivery of two large projects totaling $30.1 million in the second quarter of 2009. JBT FoodTech's operating profit was $15.2 million, down 8 percent year-over-year due to the lower volume, partially offset by lower expenses from cost reduction initiatives implemented last year and the absence of restructuring charges of $0.7 million recorded in the second quarter of 2009. Operating margin for the quarter was 11.2 percent. Second quarter inbound orders of $126.8 million increased 14 percent or 11 percent in constant currencies from the prior year quarter, driven primarily by higher demand for freezing and protein processing product lines from the bakery and poultry market segments. Inbound orders were largely unchanged from the first quarter of 2010. Backlog of $114.6 million declined 4 percent but remained flat in constant currencies when compared to the prior year quarter. Backlog declined 7 percent sequentially.
JBT AeroTech
JBT AeroTech's second quarter revenue of $72.0 million declined 14 percent from the prior year quarter primarily due to the completion of the 2009 U.S. Air Force Halvorsen loader order as well as lower ground support equipment volume, reflecting the lower backlog levels from previous quarters. JBT AeroTech's operating profit for the quarter was $3.9 million, down 35 percent year-over-year, and operating margin was 5.4 percent, down 180 basis points from the prior year quarter. This decline was mainly due to lower Halvorsen revenue and competitive pricing pressure in Airport Services. Partially offsetting this decline was profit improvement in ground support equipment, reflecting the benefit of cost reduction initiatives, as well as the absence of restructuring charges of $0.6 million recorded in the prior year quarter. AeroTech order activity has increased significantly year-over-year, most notably in the ground support equipment and passenger boarding bridge product lines, reflecting continued improvement in the airline and airfreight industries. Inbound orders totaled $114.7 million, up 65 percent from the prior year quarter. Inbound orders remained nearly constant with the strong first quarter rates. Backlog of $204.7 million improved year-over-year and sequentially by 48 percent and 26 percent, respectively.
Corporate Items
Corporate items excluding net interest expense were $4.7 million, a reduction of $0.7 million from the same period in 2009, primarily reflecting lower residual pension expense due to the freeze of the company's U.S. defined benefit plan at the end of 2009.
Cash generated from operating activities in the quarter was $9.5 million. The company ended the quarter with debt, net of cash, of $124.6 million, down from $128.2 million at the end of the first quarter of 2010. Net interest expense for the quarter was $2.0 million, a reduction of $0.3 million from the prior year quarter, reflecting a lower interest rate due to the expiration of a $25 million interest rate swap in the first quarter of 2010.
The year-to-date tax rate from continuing operations was 34.5 percent.
Capital expenditures for the quarter were $4.4 million, and depreciation and amortization was $5.4 million.
2010 Outlook
The company is reaffirming its full-year 2010 earnings guidance of $1.15-$1.30 per diluted share. The lower end of range assumes the economic recovery stalls while the upper end of the range assumes the pace of the recovery continues to accelerate.
