Currently, the segment heavily depends onthe plastics industry, with 61% of revenues in the PEG(Process Equipment Group) coming from thisindustry. The low oil prices from 2015/16 hurt business, but Hillenbrand hasstill been able to expand EBITDA margins along the way. Again, look for thecompany to try and further penetrate its secondary markets for growth. The moreHillenbrand can diversify these revenue dollars, the less reliant it will be onthe plastics industry. Until then, periods of low oil prices can put asignificant dent in segment revenues.(Hillenbrand過度依賴塑膠產業)
The other segment of Hillenbrand, thelegacy Batesville segment, is pretty stable. However, growth may be limited movingforward. Segment revenues are pretty flat from FY14 ($592 million) to FY18($551 million), as are margins.(Batesville佔31%營收,Batesville在Hillenbrand的產品組合中算是穩定,但如#1 Hillenbrand的預估未來土葬會越來越少)
