12 End Market Update: As of Q3 2024 Earnings, Respectively “We feel good about what the order strength means for the current state of our business, and it positions JBT well as we plan for 2025. We enjoyed continued recovery in demand from the poultry end market, which showed improvement globally… While there were pockets of weakness, including certain CPG areas like beverages, our overall strength is a function of JBT’s broad portfolio and end market/customer exposure.” Brian Deck, President and CEO of JBT Corporation “We encouragingly delivered a strong improvement in poultry orders, and while other parts of our business remained softer, we expect orders overall to improve…We have a good pipeline of healthy projects in poultry. The market fundamentals continue to be solid in the industry. So that’s why we’re confident despite the strong quarter in poultry to say that we expect the orders received to trend upward.” Arni Sigurdsson, CEO of Marel Quotes are sourced from JBT and Marel Q3 2024 earnings materials, which include press releases and earnings conference calls.
