In 2015, we made excellent progress implementing our strategy and are on track to achieve the goals we set for 2017. We also posted robust sales growth and margin expansion for the year. At the same time, we have continued to invest in our business, building JBT’s competitive position and enhancing our long- term growth and profi tability. We are pleased to report solid progress and results across our strategy’s three focus areas—fi x our profi tability, strengthen our capabilities and grow our business—as outlined on the pages that follow. RECORD FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE IN 2015 The progress JBT made in 2015 was refl ected in our fi nancial results. We reported record revenue and earnings in the face of signifi cant currency translation headwinds. Revenue for 2015 was $1.1 billion, up 13 percent from 2014, with a solid balance of organic and acquisition-driven growth of 11 percent and 9 percent, respectively, offset by a negative 7 percent currency impact. While we strengthened our core focus on food in 2015, we enjoyed a balanced contribution to JBT’s performance, with 14 percent top-line growth at FoodTech, inclusive of an 11 percent negative currency translation impact, and 9 percent growth at Aerotech. 2015 revenue was ahead in every region, including North and South America, Europe and Asia. Segment operating profi t margin expanded to 11.2 percent, compared with 10.4 percent in 2014. As a result of healthy top-line growth and margin expansion, diluted earnings per share (EPS) from continuing operations was $1.88 for 2015, versus reported EPS of $1.03 and adjusted EPS of $1.56 in 2014. Cash fl ow from operations expanded as well, reaching $112 million in 2015 versus $78 million in 2014, as we improved working capital effi ciency and converted our profi ts into cash. The JBT we envisioned is now emerging. With revenue from our food business approaching 70 percent of our total, we are now primarily a food company. That means JBT is signifi cantly better positioned to capitalize on favorable food and beverage consumption trends. Think about it. If you ate or drank something today—whether from a restaurant or grocery store—there is a good chance that JBT equipment touched it along the way. As the global population increases and the middle class expands across the world, we expect to see a signifi cant shift toward more proteins and higher-value liquid foods. Advantage JBT. Our ability to capitalize on a growing food market is bolstered by our investment in new products and services. Our goal is to provide customers with a comprehensive solution that enhances their profi tability, driven by higher yield and greater food safety. Whether it’s through internal product development or acquisitions, we are expanding the available market. We completed the acquisition of two leading liquid foods solution providers in 2015. The benefi ts of these acquisitions, as well as the three we made in 2014, have exceeded our expectations. With the addition of complementary products and services, JBT has been able to bid on—and win—business that we couldn’t entertain in the past. As we look beyond the Next Level Strategy objectives, we are committed to articulating a new set of goals and supporting actions that build on our solid foundation. Stay tuned, as we will detail our next three-year plan at JBT’s upcoming Investor Day in November of 2016. This is an exciting time for JBT. I would like to thank all of our employees who have embraced and advanced the Next Level strategy. It is their talent and commitment that have enabled us to translate this strategy into success. I very much look forward to continuing on our path of building a great, dynamic company in 2016 and beyond. Sincerely, Thomas W. Giacomini Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Offi cer JBT Corporation 5 JBT | 2015 Annual Report Next Level Progress The Next Level: Accelerating Performance Fix Fixing profi tability to drive economic returns and generate cash for investment in growth initiatives.
