Q2 FY26 earnings call · Aug 4, 2026TL;DR. JBT Marel reported Q2 2026 revenue of $981M (up 5%) and orders above $1B for a third consecutive quarter, but Prepared Food and Beverage results missed expectations due to logistics constraints and footprint-optimization inefficiencies, leading the company to maintain full-year revenue and adjusted EBITDA guidance while refining adjusted EPS for updated D&A and tax-rate assumptions.
- + Orders exceeded $1B for a third consecutive quarter, up 10% year-over-year, with a record $1.54B backlog.
- + Q2 adjusted EBITDA grew to $168M and adjusted EBITDA margin expanded 40 bps to 17.1%, despite operational headwinds.
- + Cost-synergy initiatives are tracking ahead of plan, now expected to deliver $25-$30M of annualized savings by 2028 versus the original $10-$15M estimate.
- + Leverage improved to just below 2.5x, within the long-term target range of 2.0x-2.5x only 18 months after the JBT-Marel close.
- − Prepared Food and Beverage Q2 results missed expectations, with segment adjusted EBITDA margin declining 70 bps due to logistics constraints and production inefficiencies from footprint optimization.
- − Management acknowledged Q2 results fell short of expectations in Prepared Food and Beverage and cited approximately $20M of delayed revenue shifting from Q2 into the back half.
- − JBT Marel took a $33M non-cash impairment charge in Q2 to write off intangibles from the 2021 Prevenio acquisition, reflecting a shift in customer demand.
- − Higher inflationary costs in logistics, metals, and other inputs created year-over-year margin pressure that pricing actions have not yet fully recovered.

Capital returns
Dividends per share over the trailing 365 days by ex-date · buyback figures as last reported in SEC filings ("spent" derived as authorized − remaining; when several programs run concurrently, authorized is their combined total per the newest filing) · components shown separately — trailing-year buyback spend isn't tracked, so no combined shareholder yield is derived.
