CHICAGO -- (Business Wire)
JBT Marel Corporation(NYSE and Nasdaq Iceland: JBTM), a leading global technology solutions provider to high-value segments of the food & beverage industry, today reported financial results for the first quarter of 2026.
"We started 2026 on a positive note, marking the second consecutive quarter with inbound orders above $1 billion," said Brian Deck, Chief Executive Officer. "Our orders reflected strong demand across our Prepared Food and Beverage Solutions and Protein Solutions segments."
"During the first quarter, we hosted our 2026 Investor Day," continued Deck. "We introduced our NextGen strategy, which further elevates our value proposition by advancing our customer-centric service model, enhancing our full-line product offering with targeted innovation, expanding commercial opportunities through cross-selling, and harnessing our continuous improvement culture to reduce complexity and achieve sustainable margin expansion."
Comparisons in this news release are to the comparable period of the prior year, unless otherwise noted. An earnings presentation with supplemental information is available on the Company's Investor Relations website at https://ir.jbtmarel.com/events/presentations.
JBT Marel First Quarter 2026 Consolidated Results
"We achieved meaningful year-over-year operational performance as we continued the margin expansion journey outlined in our strategy," said Matt Meister, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. "Additionally, we generated quarterly free cash flow of $100 million, enabling us to further deleverage our balance sheet."
First quarter 2026 consolidated revenue of $936 million increased 10 percent with approximately 6 percent benefit from foreign exchange translation. The foreign exchange benefit was largely as expected. Net income of $45 million improved $218 million, and net income margin was 4.8 percent. The improvement in net income was primarily driven by lower non-recurring and transaction related costs as well as margin enhancement efforts and lower interest expense.
First quarter 2026 consolidated adjusted EBITDA of $142 million improved $30 million, and adjusted EBITDA margin was 15.2 percent. Diluted earnings per share (EPS) was $0.86 compared to a loss per share of $3.35. Adjusted EPS was $1.58 compared to $0.97. Orders totaled $1.07 billion, inclusive of approximately $60 million in a year-over-year benefit from foreign exchange translation, and quarter-ending backlog was $1.49 billion.
First quarter 2026 operating cash flow was $119 million, and free cash flow was $100 million. As of March 31, 2026, the Company's net debt to trailing twelve months adjusted EBITDA was 2.6x.

First quarter 2026 Protein Solutions segment revenue increased 22 percent, inclusive of approximately 8 percent year-over-year benefit from foreign exchange translation. Segment adjusted EBITDA margin improved more than 500 basis points, benefiting from higher poultry volume and continued improvement in the meat and fish businesses.
First quarter 2026 Prepared Food and Beverage Solutions segment revenue was flat, inclusive of approximately 4 percent year-over-year benefit from foreign exchange translation. Segment adjusted EBITDA margin declined 170 basis points, which was impacted, as expected, by higher tariff costs, lower volume from the CPG end market, and operational challenges in the warehouse automation business.

For the full year 2026, given the continued demand strength experienced in the first quarter 2026, JBT Marel still expects year-over-year consolidated revenue growth of 5 - 7 percent, which is inclusive of approximately 1 percent foreign exchange translation benefit.
From a tariff perspective, while there are several moving components, the Company expects the impact of recent tariff policy changes to be in-line with the previously disclosed full year 2026 estimated net impact of 25 to 50 basis points, which is inclusive of all mitigation efforts.
The Company remains on-track to achieve an estimated $60 million in realized synergy cost savings for the full year 2026.
For the full year 2026, JBT Marel expects to incur certain one-time and acquisition related costs from the Marel transaction, which are included in net income margin and GAAP diluted EPS guidance and excluded from adjusted EPS and adjusted EBITDA margin guidance. These include approximately $178 million in acquisition related amortization and depreciation, $20 million in M&A related costs, and $30 million in restructuring costs.
Full year 2026 total depreciation and amortization is expected to be approximately $268 million. Interest expense is estimated to be approximately $50 million, and other financing income related to cross currency swaps on the Term Loan B is expected to be approximately $10 million. The full year tax rate is anticipated to be 23 - 24 percent.
Earnings Conference Call
A conference call is scheduled for 10:00 a.m. ET / 14:00 GMT on Tuesday, May 5, 2026, to discuss first quarter 2026 results. A simultaneous webcast and audio replay of the call will be available on the Company’s Investor Relations website at https://ir.jbtmarel.com/events/ir-calendar.

Non-GAAP Measures and Reconciliations to GAAP Measures
Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted income, Adjusted diluted earnings per share (“Adjusted EPS”), and Free cash flow are non-GAAP financial measures. JBT Marel provides non-GAAP financial measures in order to increase transparency in our operating results and trends. These non-GAAP measures eliminate certain costs or benefits from, or change the calculation of, a measure as calculated under U.S. GAAP. By eliminating these items, JBT Marel provides a more meaningful comparison of our ongoing operating results, consistent with how management evaluates 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. Reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures can be found in the supplemental schedules to this release.
Presentation of Percentage Calculations
Effective in 2026, percentage amounts presented in this press release have been calculated using rounded figures. In prior periods, percentage amounts were calculated using the unrounded underlying values rather than the rounded figures presented. As a result, certain percentage amounts in this section may differ slightly from percentages calculated using the figures presented in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements or the accompanying narrative.
Forward-Looking Statements
This release contains forward-looking statements as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are information of a non-historical nature and are subject to risks and uncertainties that are beyond JBT Marel's ability to control. The inclusion of this forward-looking information should not be regarded as a representation by us or any other person that the future plans, estimates or expectations contemplated by JBT Marel will be achieved. These forward-looking statements include, among others, statements relating to our business and our results of operations, our strategic plans, our restructuring plans and expected cost savings from those plans and our liquidity. The factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from expectations include, but are not limited to, the following factors: fluctuations in our financial results; termination or loss of major customer contracts and risks associated with fixed-price contracts, particularly during periods of high inflation; catastrophic loss at any of our facilities and business continuity of our information systems; loss of key management and other personnel; our ability to remediate the material weaknesses relating to the Marel financial statements; deterioration of economic conditions, including impacts from supply chain delays and reduced material or component availability; unanticipated delays or acceleration in our sales cycles; inflationary pressures, including increases in energy, raw material, freight, and labor costs; changes in food consumption patterns; weather conditions and natural disasters; impacts of pandemic illnesses, food borne illnesses and diseases to various agricultural products; work stoppages; customer sourcing initiatives; competition and innovation in our industries; disruptions in the political, regulatory, economic and social conditions of the countries in which we conduct business; changes to tariffs, trade regulations, quotas, or duties; potential liability arising out of the installation or use of our systems; the impact of climate change and environmental protection initiatives; our ability to comply with U.S. and international laws governing our operations and industries; increases in tax liabilities; risks related to acquisitions, such as our ability to integrate the acquisitions we have consummated, including the integration of the legacy businesses of JBT and Marel; our ability to develop and introduce new or enhanced products and services and keep pace with technological developments; difficulty in developing, preserving and protecting our intellectual property or defending claims of infringement; cybersecurity risks such as network intrusion or ransomware schemes; our convertible note hedge and warrant transactions; the maintenance of two stock exchange listings; fluctuations in currency exchange rates and interest rates; our level of indebtedness; availability of and access to financial and other resources; and the factors described under the captions “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and in any future Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
If one or more of those or other risks or uncertainties materialize, or if our underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual results may vary materially from what we projected. Consequently, actual events and results may vary significantly from those included in or contemplated or implied by our forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements included in this release are made only as of the date hereof, and we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement made by us or on our behalf, whether as a result of new information, future developments, subsequent events or changes in circumstances or otherwise.

The above table reports adjusted income and adjusted diluted earnings per share, 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.

The above table reports Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin, which are non-GAAP financial measures. We use Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin 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.

The above table reports free cash flow, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. We use free cash flow internally as a key indicator of our liquidity and ability to service debt, invest in business combinations, and return money to shareholders and believe this information is useful to investors because it provides an understanding of the cash available to fund these initiatives.
