BUSINESS SEGMENTS

JBT FoodTech

JBT FoodTech provides comprehensive solutions throughout the food production value chain extending from primary processing through packaging systems for a large variety of food and beverage groups, including poultry, beef, pork, seafood, ready-to-eat meals, fruits, vegetables, dairy, bakery, pet foods, soups, sauces, and juices. Our solutions also support neutraceutical and powder applications. Acquisitions completed in 2019 expanded our offerings at the beginning of the value chain to include primary poultry processing and at the end of the value chain with tray seal packaging.

We believe our success is derived from continued innovation, applying differentiated and proprietary technologies to meet customers’ food processing needs. We continually strive to improve existing solutions and develop new solutions by working closely with our customers to meet their evolving needs.

Our historically strong position in the markets we serve has provided us with a large installed base of systems and equipment. We deliver industrial capacity equipment which includes freezers, citrus juice extractors, preservation systems, coating systems and packaging systems. The installed base of our equipment is a source of recurring revenue from aftermarket products, parts, services, and lease arrangements. Recurring revenue accounted for 44% of our FoodTech total revenue in 2019. The installed base also provides us with strong, long-term customer relationships from which we derive information for new product development to meet the evolving needs of our food processing customers. We also provide stand-alone and fully integrated automated guided vehicle systems for repetitive material handling requirements, for example in manufacturing and warehouse facilities.

We have operations strategically positioned around the world to serve existing JBT FoodTech equipment base located in more than 100 countries. Principal production facilities are located in the United States (Arkansas, California, Florida, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Virginia and Wisconsin), Brazil, Belgium, Germany, Italy, Sweden, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and South Africa. In addition to sales and services offices based in more than 25 countries, we also support our customers in their development of new food products and processes as well as the refinement and testing of their current applications through ten technical centers located in the United States (California, Florida, and Ohio), Mexico, Brazil, Belgium, Italy, Spain, Sweden, and the Netherlands. Our global presence allows us to provide direct customized support to customers virtually anywhere they process foods.

Solutions, Products and Services

We offer a broad portfolio of systems, equipment and services to our customers which are often sold as part of a fully integrated processing line solution. Our systems are typically customized to meet the specific customer application needs. Thus, actual production capacity ranges vary and are dependent on the food and product packaging type being processed.

Protein. Our fully integrated processing lines often span from the initial point of entry of raw products through further processing and packaging. Our Protein systems include Prime branded poultry overhead and conveyance systems, offal & feather processing, scalding, picking, evisceration, water re-use, paw processing, cut-up and debone, wing segmentation, and skinning equipment; Wolf-Tec Polar Dissolver brine preparation, IMAX injection, Polar Massager marination, Polar Flex Carve maceration, TMAX tenderization; the DSI™ waterjet portioners, slicers and attribute scanner/sorters; the Stein™ coating and seasoning applicators; teflon coated Formcook Contact and Combi Cookers; THERMoFIN® fryers; GYRoCOMPACT® spiral ovens; JSO Jet Stream® ovens; Double D™ Revoband™ linear ovens and cooking systems; XVision systems; C.A.T. FATCAT chillers, ULTRACAT injectors, scales and weighing systems, GLACIERCAT freezers; and Tipper Tie Clip packaging systems. We also design, assemble, test, and install industry-leading technologies under the Frigoscandia® brand, which include the GYRoCOMPACT® self-stacking spiral, the FLoFREEZE® individual quick freezing (IQF) system, and the ADVANTEC™ linear/impingement freezing system, as well as flat product and contact freezers, chillers and proofers. We offer a structure-supported Northfield SuperTRAK® spiral freezer for high volume, large packaged products. Although our solutions are primarily used in the processing of meat and poultry (including nuggets, strips, and wings), we also provide systems that portion, coat, cook, or freeze other food products ranging from breads and pizzas, seafood, and ready-to-eat meals to pet food, bakery products, fruits, vegetables, plant-based proteins and dairy products.

Protein technology offerings accounted for 31%, 34%, and 34% of JBT's total revenue in 2019, 2018, and 2017, respectively.

Liquid Foods. Our Liquid Foods business offers comprehensive solutions from raw material processing systems to end-of-line packaging. In the primary processing space, we supply industrial citrus, tropical and temperate fruit and tomato processing equipment including extractors, finishers, pulp systems, evaporators, and ingredient recovery systems. Our READYGo™ family of skid-mounted products includes solutions for aseptic sterilization and bulk filling, as well as ingredients and by-products recovery and clean-up systems. In addition to our high capacity industrial extractors, we also offer point of use Fresh’n Squeeze® produce juicers.

Moving further downstream, our aseptic systems, including sterilizers, fillers, blow molders and controls, can be used for bulk or retail production for diverse products such as not-from-concentrate orange juice, milk, purees, and concentrates. These products are used as ingredients for dairy products (yogurts, smoothies, flavored milk, and ice cream), bakery products, and fruit-based beverages.

In addition to in-flow technologies, we are a global supplier of fully integrated industrial preservation systems that enable production of shelf stable foods in a wide variety of flexible, rigid, and semi-rigid packages. These integrated solutions for the processing of shelf-stable food and liquid products include a line of continuous hydrostatic sterilizers, continuous rotary sterilizers, batch retorts, XL-series fillers, SeamTec™ and X-series closers, material handling systems, and LOG-TEC® thermal process controls.

Additionally, we have capabilities in powder filling, high pressure processing, fresh-cut produce, and tray sealing. Our PLF International™ line of powder fillers are a leading filler for high-value powdered food such as infant formula. Supporting clean-label products, Avure Technologies supplies high-pressure processing equipment providing non-thermal preservation solutions for a broad array of market segments. FTNON provides equipment to produce fresh-cut salads, fruits and vegetables. Proseal is a leading supplier of tray seal packaging equipment providing automatic in-line solutions for the food segment. Tray sealing supports sustainability initiatives in reducing the amount of plastic required in packaging as well as minimizing food waste.

We are a recognized U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Food Process Authority and offer consulting services to help design food production processes in accordance with USDA and FDA's stringent requirements. Our solutions also include specialized material handling systems to automate the handling and tracking of processed and unprocessed containers as well as software and controls that help our customers optimize and track their processes to allow real time modifications in the case of process deviations.

Liquid Foods solution offerings accounted for 34%, 32%, and 34% of JBT's total revenue in 2019, 2018, and 2017, respectively.

OTHER BUSINESS INFORMATION RELEVANT TO ALL OF OUR BUSINESS SEGMENTS

Order Backlog

For information regarding order backlog, refer to the section entitled “Inbound Orders and Order Backlog” in Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Sources and Availability of Raw Materials

All of our business segments purchase carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and/or steel castings and forgings both domestically and internationally. We do not use single source suppliers for the majority of our raw material purchases and believe the available supplies of raw materials are adequate to meet our needs.

Sales and Marketing

We sell and market our products and services predominantly through a direct sales force, supplemented with independent distributors and sales representatives. Our experienced international sales force is comprised of individuals with strong technical expertise in our products and services and the industries in which they are sold.

We support our sales force with marketing and training programs that are designed to increase awareness of our product offerings and highlight our differentiation while providing a set of sales tools to aid in the sales of our technology solutions. We actively employ a broad range of marketing programs to inform and educate customers, the media, industry analysts, and academia through targeted newsletters, our web-site, seminars, trade shows, user groups, and conferences.

Patents, Trademarks and Other Intellectual Property

We own a number of United States and foreign patents, trademarks, and licenses that are cumulatively important to our business. We own approximately 704 United States and foreign issued patents and have approximately 302 patent applications pending in the United States and abroad. Further, we license certain intellectual property rights to or from third parties. We also own numerous United States and foreign trademarks and trade names and have approximately 888 registrations and pending applications in the United States and abroad. A substantial majority of these patents, trademarks and tradenames are associated with the FoodTech segment. Developing and maintaining a strong intellectual property portfolio is an important component of our strategy to extend our technology leadership. However, we do not believe that the loss of any one or group of related patents, trademarks, or licenses would have a material adverse effect on our overall business.

Competition

We conduct business worldwide and compete with large multinational companies as well as a variety of local and regional companies, which typically are focused on a specific application, technology or geographical area.

We compete by leveraging our industry expertise to provide differentiated and proprietary technology, integrated systems, high product quality and reliability, and comprehensive aftermarket service. We strive to provide our customers with equipment that delivers a lower total cost of ownership, distinguishing ourselves by providing excellent equipment uptime and increased yields with improved final product quality. Our ability to provide comprehensive sales and service in all major regions of the world, by maintaining local personnel direct in region, differentiates us from regional competition.

Working Capital Practices

In order to provide, and install, custom designed equipment, companies in the food machinery industry generally generate customer deposits, or advance payments, before construction begins. For this reason, FoodTech can be less working capital intensive than many other industrial capital goods industries. AeroTech solutions, which are more standardized, do not generate a significant amount of advance payment from the air transportation industry, and therefore is generally more capital intensive.

Employees

We have approximately 6,400 employees with approximately 3,300 located in the United States. Approximately 9% of our employees in the United States are represented by three collective bargaining agreements.

Outside the United States, we enter into employment contracts and agreements in those countries in which such relationships are mandatory or customary. The provisions of these agreements correspond in each case with the required or customary terms in the subject jurisdiction. Approximately 43% of our international employees are covered under national employee unions.

We have historically maintained good employee relations and have successfully concluded all of our recent negotiations without a work stoppage. However, we cannot predict the outcome of future contract negotiations.

Customers

No single customer accounted for more than 10% of our total revenue in any of the last three fiscal years.

Government Contracts

AeroTech supplies equipment and logistics support to the U.S. Department of Defense and international forces. The amount of equipment and parts supplied to these programs is dependent upon annual government appropriations and levels of military spending. In addition, United States defense contracts are unilaterally terminable at the option of the United States government with compensation for work completed and costs incurred. Contracts with the United States government and defense contractors are subject to special laws and regulations, the noncompliance with which may result in various sanctions that could materially affect our ongoing government business.

Governmental Regulation and Environmental Matters

Our operations are subject to various federal, state, local, and foreign laws and regulations governing the prevention of pollution and the protection of environmental quality. If we fail to comply with these environmental laws and regulations, administrative, civil, and criminal penalties may be imposed, and we may become subject to regulatory enforcement actions in the form of injunctions and cease and desist orders. We may also be subject to civil claims arising out of an accident or other event causing environmental pollution. These laws and regulations may expose us to liability for the conduct of or conditions caused by others or for our own acts even though these actions were in compliance with all applicable laws at the time they were performed.

Under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, referred to as CERCLA, and related state laws and regulations, joint and several liability can be imposed without regard to fault or the legality of the original conduct on certain classes of persons that contributed to the release of a hazardous substance into the environment. These persons include the owner and operator of a contaminated site where a hazardous substance release occurred and any company that transported, disposed of, or arranged for the transport or disposal of hazardous substances that have been released into the environment, including hazardous substances generated by any closed operations or facilities. In addition, neighboring landowners or other third parties may file claims for personal injury, property damage, and recovery of response cost. We may also be subject to the corrective action provisions of the Resource, Conservation and Recovery Act, or RCRA, and analogous state laws that require owners and operators of facilities that treat, store, or dispose of hazardous waste to clean up releases of hazardous waste constituents into the environment associated with their operations.

Many of our facilities and operations are also governed by laws and regulations relating to worker health and workplace safety, including the Federal Occupational Safety and Health Act, or OSHA. We believe that appropriate precautions are taken to protect our employees and others from harmful exposure to potentially hazardous work environments, and that we operate in substantial compliance with all OSHA or similar regulations.

We are also subject to laws and regulations related to conflict minerals, export compliance, local hiring and anti-corruption, and we have adopted policies, procedures and employee training programs that are designed to facilitate compliance with those laws and regulations.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

You should carefully consider the risks described below, together with all of the other information included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, in evaluating our company and our common stock. If any of the risks described below actually occurs, our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and stock price could be materially adversely affected.

Our financial results are subject to fluctuations caused by many factors that could result in our failing to achieve anticipated financial results and cause a drop in our stock price.

Our quarterly and annual financial results have varied in the past and are likely to continue to vary in the future due to a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control. In particular, the contractual terms and the number and size of orders in the capital goods industries in which we compete vary significantly over time. The timing of our sales cycle from receipt of orders to shipment of the products or provision of services can significantly impact our sales and income in any given fiscal period. These and any one or more of the factors listed below, among other things, could cause us not to achieve our revenue or profitability expectations in any given period and the resulting failure to meet such expectations could cause a drop in our stock price:


•	volatility in demand for our products and services, including volatility in growth rates in the food processing and air transportation industries;


•	downturns in our customers’ businesses resulting from deteriorating domestic and international economies where our customers conduct substantial business;


•	increases in commodity prices resulting in increased manufacturing costs, such as petroleum-based products, metals or other raw materials we use in significant quantities;


•	supply chain interruptions;


•	changes in pricing policies resulting from competitive pressures, including aggressive price discounting by our competitors and other market factors;


•	our ability to develop and introduce on a timely basis new or enhanced versions of our products and services;


•	unexpected needs for capital expenditures or other unanticipated expenses;


•	changes in the mix of revenue attributable to domestic and international sales;


•	changes in the mix of products and services that we sell;


•	changes in foreign currency rates;


•	seasonal fluctuations in buying patterns;


•	future acquisitions and divestitures of technologies, products, and businesses;


•	changes to trade regulation, quotas, duties or tariffs, caused by the changing U.S. and geopolitical environments;


•	potential effects of the United Kingdom’s (U.K.) withdrawal from the European Union (E.U.) after the initial transition period ending on December 31, 2020; and


•	cyber-attacks and other IT threats that could disable our IT infrastructure and create a meaningful inability to operate our business.

Variability in the length of our sales cycles makes accurate estimation of our revenue in any single period difficult and can result in significant fluctuation in quarterly operating results.

The length of our sales cycle varies depending on a number of factors over which we may have little or no control, including the size and complexity of a potential transaction, the level of competition that we encounter during our selling process, and our current and potential customers’ internal budgeting and approval process. Many of our sales are subject to an extended sales cycle. As a result, we may expend significant effort and resources over a significant period of time in an attempt to obtain an order, but ultimately not obtain the order, or obtain an order that is smaller than we anticipated. Revenue generated by any one of our customers may vary from quarter to quarter, and a customer who places a large order in one quarter may generate significantly lower revenue in subsequent quarters. Due to the length and uncertainty of our sales cycle, and the variability of orders from period to period, we believe that quarter-to-quarter comparisons of our revenue and operating results may not be an accurate indicator of our short term or future performance.

Deterioration of economic conditions could adversely impact our business.

Our business may be adversely affected by changes in current or future national or global economic conditions, including lower growth rates or recession, high unemployment, rising interest rates, limited availability of capital, decreases in consumer spending rates, the availability and cost of energy, and the effect of government deficit reduction, sequestration, and other austerity measures impacting the markets we serve. Any such changes could adversely affect the demand for our products or the cost and availability of our required raw materials, which can have a material adverse effect on our financial results. Adverse national and global economic conditions could, among other things:


•	make it more difficult or costly for us to obtain necessary financing for our operations, our investments and our acquisitions, or to refinance our debt;


•	cause our lenders or other financial instrument counterparties to be unable to honor their commitments or otherwise default under our financing arrangements;


•	impair the financial condition of some of our customers, thereby hindering our customers’ ability to obtain financing to purchase our products and/or increasing customer bad debts;


•	cause customers to forgo or postpone new purchases in favor of repairing existing equipment and machinery, and delay or reduce preventative maintenance, thereby reducing our revenue and/or profits;


•	negatively impact our customers’ ability to raise pricing to counteract increased fuel, labor, and other costs, making it less likely that they will expend the same capital and other resources on our equipment as they have in the past;


•	impair the financial condition of some of our suppliers thereby potentially increasing both the likelihood of our having to renegotiate supply terms on terms that may not be as favorable to us and the risk of non-performance by suppliers;


•	negatively impact global demand for air transportation services as well as the food preparation industry, which could result in a reduction of sales, operating income, and cash flows in our AeroTech and FoodTech segments;


•	negatively affect the rates of expansion, consolidation, renovation, and equipment replacement within the air transportation industry and within the food processing industry, which may adversely affect the results of operations of our AeroTech and FoodTech segments; and


•	impair the financial viability of our insurers.

Disruptions in the political, regulatory, economic and social conditions of the foreign countries in which we conduct business could negatively affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

We operate manufacturing facilities in eleven countries other than the United States, the largest of which are located in Belgium, Sweden, Brazil, Italy, Spain, United Kingdom, the Netherlands and Germany. Our international sales accounted for 42% of our 2019 revenue. Multiple factors relating to our international operations and to those particular countries in which we operate or seek to expand our operations could have an adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. These factors include, among others:


•	economic downturns, inflationary and recessionary markets, including in capital and equity markets;


•	civil unrest, political instability, terrorist attacks, and wars;


•	nationalization, expropriation, or seizure of assets;


•	potentially burdensome taxation in other jurisdictions;


•	changes in the mix of our international business operations and revenue relative to our domestic operations, resulting in increasing tax liabilities resulting from repatriation of income generated outside of the United States;


•	inability to repatriate income or capital;


•	foreign ownership restrictions;


•	export regulations that could erode profit margins or restrict exports, including import or export licensing regulations;


•	trade restrictions, tariffs, and other trade protection measures, or price controls;


•	restrictions on operations, trade practices, trade partners, and investment decisions resulting from domestic and foreign laws and regulations;


•	compliance with the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and other similar laws;


•	burden and cost of complying with foreign laws, treaties, and technical standards and changes in those regulations;


•	transportation delays and interruptions; and


•	reductions in the availability of qualified personnel.

Changes to trade regulation, quotas, duties or tariffs, caused by the changing U.S. and geopolitical environments or otherwise, may increase our costs or limit the amount of raw materials and products that we can import, or may otherwise adversely impact or business.

The current U.S. administration has voiced strong concerns about imports from countries that it perceives as engaging in unfair trade practices and has imposed import duties or other restrictions on products or raw materials sourced from those countries. On June 1, 2018, the U.S. government began imposing tariffs on steel and aluminum imports. In response to these tariffs, several major U.S. trading partners have imposed, or announced their intention to impose, tariffs on U.S. goods. On July 6, 2018, the U.S. government began imposing tariffs on certain imports from China. We import raw materials from or manufacture our products in China and other such countries subject to these tariffs. Subsequently, the U.S. government imposed additional tariffs on imports from China. Any such duties or restrictions could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

Moreover, these new tariffs, or other changes in U.S. trade policy, could trigger retaliatory actions by affected countries. Certain foreign governments have instituted or are considering imposing trade sanctions on certain U.S. goods. Others are considering the imposition of sanctions that will deny U.S. companies access to critical raw materials. A “trade war” of this nature or other governmental action related to tariffs or international trade agreements or policies has the potential to adversely impact demand for our products, our costs, customers, suppliers and/or the U.S. economy or certain sectors thereof and, thus, to adversely impact our businesses.

We face risks associated with current and future acquisitions.

To achieve our strategic objectives, we have pursued and expect to continue to pursue expansion opportunities such as acquiring other businesses or assets. Expanding through acquisitions involves risks such as:


•	the incurrence of additional debt to finance the acquisition or expansion;


•	additional liabilities (whether known or unknown), including, among others, product, environmental or pension liabilities of the acquired business or assets;


•	risks and costs associated with integrating the acquired business or new facility into our operations;


•	the need to retain and assimilate key employees of the acquired business or assets;


•	unanticipated demands on our management, operational resources and financial and internal control systems;


•	unanticipated regulatory risks;


•	the risk of being denied the necessary licenses, permits and approvals from state, local and foreign governments, and the costs and time associated with obtaining such licenses, permits and approvals;


•	risks that we do not achieve anticipated operating efficiencies, synergies and economies of scale; and


•	risks in retaining the existing customers and contracts of the acquired business or assets.


•	risk that unforeseen issues with an acquisition may adversely affect the anticipated results of the business or value of the intangible assets and trigger an evaluation of the recoverability of the recorded goodwill and intangible assets for such business.

If we are unable to effectively integrate acquired businesses or newly formed operations, or if such acquired businesses underperform relative to our expectations, this may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position, and results of operations.

The potential effects of the U.K.’s exit from the E.U. have created uncertainties that could have negative effects on us.

In June 2016, the U.K held a Referendum of the U.K.'s Membership in the E.U. (referred to as Brexit), in which voters approved the exit of the United Kingdom from the European Union. In January 2020, U.K. parliament passed a bill establishing the effective date of Brexit as January 31, 2020 and establishing a transition period ending on December 31, 2020. During the transition period, U.K. will continue to remain in E.U. customs union and single market. The Brexit referendum results and passing of Brexit bill caused significant currency exchange rate fluctuations. As described in Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk - Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk, we translate revenue denominated in foreign currency into U.S. dollars for our financial statements. In addition, a so called Hard Brexit, where no formal agreement is made between U.K. and E.U. during the transition period ending on December 31, 2020, could result in continued currency rate fluctuations. During periods of a strengthening dollar, our reported international revenue is reduced because foreign currencies translate into fewer U.S. dollars.

Brexit has created instability and volatility in the global markets and could adversely affect European or worldwide economic or market conditions. Although it is unknown what the terms of the exit from the transition period will be, they may impair the ability of our operations in the E.U. to transact business in the future in the U.K., and similarly the ability of our U.K. operations to transact business in the future in the E.U. Specifically, it is possible that there will be greater restrictions on imports and exports between the U.K. and E.U. countries and increased regulatory complexities. In addition, Brexit could lead to legal uncertainty and potentially divergent national laws and regulations as the U.K. determines which E.U. laws to replace or replicate. Further, among other things, Brexit could reduce capital spending in the U.K. and the E.U., which could result in decreased demand for our products.

Any of these effects of Brexit, and others we cannot anticipate, could adversely affect our business, business opportunities, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. For the year ended December 31, 2019, our U.K. based subsidiaries generated $40.7 million in revenue and we reported $78.4 million from U.K. customers in our global revenues.

Fluctuations in currency exchange rates could negatively affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

A significant portion of our revenue and expenses are realized in foreign currencies. As a result, changes in exchange rates will result in increases or decreases in our costs and earnings and may adversely affect our Consolidated Financial Statements, which are stated in U.S. dollars. Although we may seek to minimize currency exchange risk by engaging in hedging transactions where we deem appropriate, we cannot be assured that our efforts will be successful. Currency fluctuations may also result in our systems and services becoming more expensive and less competitive than those of other suppliers in the foreign countries in which we sell our systems and services.

We have invested substantial resources in certain markets where we expect growth, and our business may suffer if we are unable to achieve the growth we expect.

As part of our strategy to grow, we are expanding our operations in certain emerging or developing markets, and accordingly have made and expect to continue to make substantial investments to support anticipated growth in those regions. We may fail to realize expected rates of return on our existing investments or incur losses on such investments, and we may be unable to redeploy capital to take advantage of other markets. Our results will also suffer if these regions do not grow as quickly as we anticipate.

Our restructuring initiatives may not achieve the expected cost reductions or other anticipated benefits.

We regularly evaluate our existing operations, service capacity, and business efficiencies to determine if a realignment or restructuring could improve our results of operations or achieve some other business goal. Our realignment and restructuring initiatives are designed to result in more efficient and increasingly profitable operations. Our ability to achieve the anticipated cost savings and other benefits from these initiatives within the expected time frame is subject to many estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions are subject to significant economic, competitive, and other uncertainties, some of which are beyond our control. In 2018, we implemented a restructuring program to address JBT's global processes, to flatten the organization, improve efficiency, and better leverage general and administrative resources. We have incurred restructuring charges of $13.5 million related to this plan in 2019. We plan to incur $62 million to $64 million in total charges to achieve these objectives. Failure to achieve the expected cost reductions related to these restructuring initiatives could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

Our inability to obtain raw materials, component parts, and/or finished goods in a timely and cost-effective manner from suppliers would adversely affect our ability to manufacture and market our products.

We purchase raw materials and component parts from suppliers for use in manufacturing our products. We also purchase certain finished goods from suppliers. Changes in our relationships with suppliers or increases in our costs for raw materials, component parts, or finished goods we purchase could result in manufacturing interruptions, delays, inefficiencies, or our inability to market products if we cannot timely and efficiently manufacture them. In addition, our gross margins could decrease if prices of purchased raw materials, component parts, or finished goods increase and we are unable to pass on such price increases to customers.

Regulations related to conflict minerals could adversely impact our business.

The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act contains provisions to improve transparency and accountability concerning the supply of certain minerals, known as “conflict minerals”, originating from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and adjoining countries. To implement this legislation, the SEC adopted annual disclosure and reporting requirements for those companies that use conflict minerals mined from the DRC and adjoining countries in their products. We will continue to incur costs associated with complying with these annual disclosure requirements, including those incurred to conduct diligence to determine the sources of conflict minerals used in our products and other potential changes to products, processes, or sources of supply as a consequence of such verification activities. These rules could adversely affect the sourcing, supply and pricing of materials used in our products. As there may be only a limited number of suppliers offering “conflict free” conflict minerals of certain types, we cannot be certain that we will continue to be able to obtain necessary conflict minerals from such suppliers in sufficient quantities or at competitive prices. Also, we may face reputational challenges if we determine that certain of our products contain minerals not determined to be conflict free or if we are unable to sufficiently verify the origins for all conflict minerals used in our products.

An increase in energy or raw material prices may reduce the profitability of our customers, which ultimately could negatively affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

Energy prices are volatile. High energy prices have a negative trickledown effect on our customers’ business operations by reducing their profitability because of increased operating costs. Our customers require large amounts of energy to run their businesses, particularly in the air transportation industry. Higher energy prices can reduce passenger and cargo air carrier profitability as a result of increased jet and ground support equipment fuel prices. Higher energy prices also increase food processors’ operating costs through increased energy and utility costs to run their plants, higher priced chemical and petroleum based raw materials used in food processing, and higher fuel costs to run their logistics and service fleet vehicles.

Food processors are also affected by the cost and availability of raw materials such as feed grains, livestock, produce, and dairy products. Increases in the cost of and limitations in the availability of such raw materials can negatively affect the profitability of food processors’ operations.

Any reduction in our customers’ profitability due to higher energy or raw material costs or otherwise may reduce their future expenditures in the food processing equipment or airport equipment that we provide. This reduction may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

Changes in food consumption patterns due to dietary trends or economic conditions may adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

Dietary trends can create demand for protein food products but negatively impact demand for high-carbohydrate foods, or create demand for easy to prepare, transportable meals but negatively impact traditional canned food products. Because different food types and food packaging can quickly go in and out of style as a function of dietary, health, convenience, or sustainability trends, food processors can be challenged in accurately forecasting their needed manufacturing capacity and the related investment in equipment and services. During periods of economic uncertainty, consumer demand for protein products or processed food products may be negatively impacted by increases in food prices. A demand shift away from protein products or processed foods could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

An outbreak of animal borne diseases (H5N1, BSE, or other virus strains affecting poultry or livestock), citrus tree diseases, or food borne illnesses or other food safety or quality concerns may negatively affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

An outbreak or pandemic stemming from H5N1 (avian flu), BSE (mad cow disease), African swine fever (pork) or any other animal related disease strains could reduce the availability of poultry or beef that is processed for the restaurant, food service, wholesale or retail consumer. Any limitation on the availability of such raw materials could discourage food producers from making additional capital investments in processing equipment, aftermarket products, parts, and services that our FoodTech business provides. Such a decrease in demand for our products could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

The success of our business that serves the citrus food processing industry is directly related to the viability and health of citrus crops. The citrus industries in Florida, Brazil, and other countries are facing increased pressure on their harvest productivity and citrus bearing acreage due to citrus canker and greening diseases. These citrus tree diseases are often incurable once a tree has been infested and the end result can be the destruction of the tree. Reduced amounts of available fruit for the processed or fresh food markets could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

In the event an E. coli or other food borne illness causes a recall of meat or produce, the companies supplying those fresh, further processed or packaged forms of those products could be severely adversely affected. Any negative impact on the financial viability of our fresh or processed food provider customers could adversely affect our immediate and recurring revenue base. We also face the risk of direct exposure to liabilities associated with product recalls to the extent that our products are determined to have caused an issue leading to a recall.

Freezes, hurricanes, droughts, other natural disasters or adverse weather conditions may negatively affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

In the event a natural disaster negatively affects growers or farm production, the food processing industry may not have the fresh food raw materials necessary to meet consumer demand. Crops or entire groves or fields can be severely damaged by a drought, freeze, or hurricane, wildfires or adverse weather conditions, including the effects of climate change. An extended drought or freeze or a high category hurricane could permanently damage or destroy a tree crop area. If orchards have to be replanted, trees may not produce viable product for several years. Since our recurring revenue is dependent on growers’ and farmers’ ability to provide high quality crops to certain of our customers, our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows could be materially adversely impacted in the event of a freeze, hurricane, drought, or other natural disaster.

Climate change and climate change legislation or regulations may adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

Most scientists have concluded that increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere may produce significant physical effects, such as increased frequency and severity of storms, droughts, and floods and other climate events, that could have adverse physical and financial effects on our operations. Extreme weather conditions in general require more system backup, adding to costs, and can contribute to service and supply chain interruptions.

A number of governmental bodies have finalized, proposed, or are contemplating legislative and regulatory changes in response to the potential effects of climate change. Such legislation or regulation has and potentially could include provisions for a “cap and trade” system of allowances and credits or a carbon tax, limiting availability of arable land among other provisions that would likely have a negative impact our customers in both AeroTech and Food Tech industry.

We, along with other companies in many business sectors, including our customers, are considering and implementing ways to reduce emissions of green house gas. As a result, our customers may request that changes be made to our products or facilities, as well as

other aspects of our production processes, that increase costs and may require the investment of capital. The failure to comply with these requests could adversely affect our relationships with some customers, which in turn could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We could face increased costs related to defending and resolving legal claims and other litigation related to climate change and the alleged impact of our operations on climate change.

We are subject to risks related to corporate social responsibility.

Global business are facing increasing public scrutiny related to environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) activities. We risk damage to our brand and reputation if we fail to act responsibly in a number of areas, such as diversity and inclusion, environmental stewardship, support for local communities, corporate governance, and employee health and safety. Adverse incidents with respect to ESG activities could impact the value of our brand, the cost of our operations and relationships with customers, all of which could adversely affect our business and results of operations.

Our failure to comply with the laws and regulations governing our U.S. government contracts or the loss of production funding of any of our U.S. government contracts could harm our business.

The U.S. government represented approximately 1% of our 2019 revenue, directly or through subcontracts. Our JBT AeroTech business contracts with the U.S. government and subcontracts with defense contractors conducting business with U.S. government. As a result, we are subject to various laws and regulations that apply to companies doing business with the U.S. government.

The laws governing U.S. government contracts differ in several respects from the laws governing private company contracts. Government contracts are highly regulated to curb misappropriation of funds and to ensure uniform policies and practices across various governmental agencies. Funding for such contracts is tied to national defense budgets and procurement programs that are annually negotiated and approved or disapproved by the U.S. Department of Defense, the Executive Branch, and the Congress. For example, if there were any shifts in spending priorities or if funding for the military aircraft programs were reduced or canceled as a result of the sequestration, policy changes, or for other reasons, the resulting loss of revenue could have a material adverse impact on our AeroTech business. Many U.S. government contracts contain pricing terms and conditions that are not applicable to private contracts. In particular, U.S. defense contracts are unilaterally terminable at the option of the U.S. government with compensation only for work completed and costs incurred to date. In addition, any deliverable delays under such contracts as a result of our non-performance could also have a negative impact on these contracts.

Non-compliance with the laws and regulations governing U.S. government contracts or subcontracts may result in significant sanctions such as debarment (restrictions from future business with the government). If we were found not to be in compliance now or in the future with any such laws or regulations, our results of operations could be adversely impacted.

Terrorist attacks and threats, escalation of military activity in response to such attacks, acts of war, or outbreak of pandemic diseases may negatively affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

Any future terrorist attacks against U.S. targets, rumors or threats of war, actual conflicts involving the United States or its allies, or military or trade disruptions affecting our customers or the economy as a whole may materially adversely affect our operations or those of our customers. Strategic targets such as those relating to transportation and food processing may be at greater risk of future terrorist attacks than other targets in the United States. Our airport authority, airline, air cargo and ground handling customers are also particularly sensitive to safety concerns, and their businesses may decline after terrorist attacks or threats or during periods of political instability when travelers are concerned about safety issues. Furthermore, outbreaks of pandemic diseases, such as coronavirus, or the fear of such events, could provoke responses, including government-imposed travel restrictions and extended shutdown of certain businesses, customers, and/or supply chain disruptions in affected regions. As a result, there could be delays or losses in transportation and deliveries to our customers, decreased sales of our products, and delays in payments by our customers. A decline in these customers’ businesses could have a negative impact on their demand for our products. It is possible that any of these occurrences, or a combination of them, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

The cumulative loss of several significant contracts may negatively affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

We often enter into large, project-oriented contracts, or long-term equipment leases and service agreements. These agreements may be terminated or breached, or our customers may fail to renew these agreements. If we were to lose several significant agreements and if we were to fail to develop alternative business opportunities, we could experience a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

We may lose money or not achieve our expected profitability on fixed-price contracts.

As is customary for several of the business areas in which we operate, we may provide products and services under fixed-price contracts. Under such contracts, we are typically responsible for cost overruns. Our actual costs and any gross profit realized on these fixed-price contracts may vary from our estimates on which the pricing for such contracts was based. There are inherent risks and uncertainties in the estimation process, including those arising from unforeseen technical and logistical challenges or longer than expected lead times for sourcing raw materials and assemblies. A fixed-price contract may significantly limit or prohibit our ability to mitigate the impact of unanticipated increases in raw material prices (including the price of steel and other significant raw materials) by passing on such price increases. Depending on the volume of our work performed under fixed-price contracts at any one time, differences in actual versus estimated performance could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

Customer sourcing initiatives may adversely affect our new equipment and aftermarket businesses.

Many multi-national companies, including our customers and prospective customers, have undertaken supply chain integration to provide a sustainable competitive advantage against their competitors. Under continued price pressure from consumers, wholesalers and retailers, our manufacturer customers are focused on controlling and reducing cost, enhancing their sourcing processes, and improving their profitability.

A key value proposition of our equipment and services is low total cost of ownership. If our customers implement sourcing initiatives that focus solely on immediate cost savings and not on total cost of ownership, our new equipment and aftermarket sales could be adversely affected.

To remain competitive, we need to rapidly and successfully develop and introduce complex new solutions in a global, competitive, demanding, and changing environment.

If we lose our significant technology advantage in our products and services, our market share and growth could be materially adversely affected. In addition, if we are unable to deliver products, features, and functionality as projected, we may be unable to meet our commitments to customers, which could have a material adverse effect on our reputation and business. Significant investments in research and development efforts that do not lead to successful products, features, and functionality, could also materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows could be materially adversely affected by competing technology. Some of our competitors are large multinational companies that may have greater financial resources than us, and they may be able to devote greater resources to research and development of new systems, services, and technologies than we are able to do. Moreover, some of our competitors operate in narrow business areas, allowing them to concentrate their research and development efforts more directly on products and services for those areas than we may be able to.

High capacity products or products with new technology may be more likely to experience reliability, quality, or operability problems.

Even with rigorous testing prior to release and investment in product quality processes, problems may be found in newly developed or enhanced products after such products are launched and shipped to customers. Resolution of such issues may cause project delays, additional development costs, and deferred or lost revenue.

New products and enhancements of our existing products may also reduce demand for our existing products or could delay purchases by customers who instead decide to wait for our new or enhanced products. Difficulties that arise in our managing the transition from our older products to our new or enhanced products could result in additional costs and deferred or lost revenue.

We may need to make significant capital and operating expenditures to keep pace with technological developments in our industry.

The industries in which we participate are constantly undergoing development and change, and it is likely that new products, equipment, and service methods will be introduced in the future. We may need to make significant expenditures to purchase new equipment and to train our employees to keep pace with any new technological developments. These expenditures could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

If we are unable to develop, preserve, and protect our intellectual property assets, our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows may be negatively affected.

We strive to protect and enhance our proprietary intellectual property rights through patent, copyright, trademark, and trade secret laws, as well as through technological safeguards and operating policies and procedures. To the extent we are not successful, our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows could be materially adversely impacted. We may be unable to prevent third parties from using our technology without our authorization, or from independently developing technology that is similar to ours, particularly in those countries where the laws do not protect our proprietary rights as fully as in others. With respect to our pending patent applications, we may not be successful in securing patents for these claims, and our competitors may already have applied for patents that, once issued, will prevail over our patent rights or otherwise limit our ability to sell our products.

Claims by others that we infringe their intellectual property rights could harm our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

We have seen a trend towards aggressive enforcement of intellectual property rights as product functionality in our industry increasingly overlaps and the number of issued patents continues to grow. As a result, there is a risk that we could be subject to infringement claims which, regardless of their validity, could:


•	be expensive, time consuming, and divert management attention away from normal business operations;


•	require us to pay monetary damages or enter into non-standard royalty and licensing agreements;


•	require us to modify our product sales and development plans; or


•	require us to satisfy indemnification obligations to our customers.

Regardless of whether these claims have any merit, they can be burdensome and costly to defend or settle and can harm our business and reputation.

Infrastructure failures or catastrophic loss at any of our facilities could lead to production or service curtailments or shutdowns.

We manufacture our products at facilities in the United States, Belgium, Sweden, Brazil, Italy, Spain, United Kingdom, the Netherlands and Germany. An interruption in production or service capabilities at any of our facilities as a result of equipment failure or other reasons could result in our inability to manufacture our products. In the event of a stoppage in production at any of our facilities, even if only temporary, or if we experience delays as a result of events that are beyond our control, delivery times to our customers could be severely affected. Any significant delay in deliveries to our customers could lead to cancellations. Our facilities are also subject to the risk of catastrophic loss due to unanticipated events such as earthquake, fire, natural disaster, explosions, power loss, unauthorized intrusions, hurricanes, and other catastrophic events. We may also experience plant shutdowns or periods of reduced production as a result of equipment failure, delays in deliveries or catastrophic loss, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

The business continuity of our information systems, computer equipment, and information databases are critical to our business operations, and any damage or disruptions could negatively affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

Our operations are dependent on our ability to protect our computer equipment and the information stored in our databases from damage by, among other things, earthquake, fire, natural disaster, power loss, telecommunications failures, unauthorized intrusions, hurricane, and other catastrophic events. A part of our operations is based in an area of California that has experienced earthquakes and other natural disasters, while another part of our operations is based in an area of Florida that has experienced hurricanes and other natural disasters. Despite our best efforts at planning for such contingencies, catastrophic events of this nature may still result in system failures and other interruptions in our operations, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

In addition, it is periodically necessary to replace, upgrade, or modify our internal information systems. For example we are currently in the process of implementing common Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems across the majority of our businesses. If we are unable to do this in a timely and cost-effective manner, especially in light of demands on our information technology resources, our ability to capture and process financial transactions and therefore our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows may be materially adversely impacted.

We are subject to cyber-security risks arising out of breaches of security relating to sensitive company, client, and employee information and to the technology that manages our operations and other business processes.

Our business operations rely upon secure information technology systems for data capture, processing, storage, and reporting. Notwithstanding careful security and controls design, our information technology systems, and those of our third-party providers could become subject to cyber-attacks. Network, system, application, and data breaches could result in operational disruptions or information misappropriation, including, but not limited to, inability to utilize our systems, and denial of access to and misuse of applications required by our clients to conduct business with us. Phishing and other forms of electronic fraud may also subject us to risks associated with improper access to financial assets and customer information. Theft of intellectual property or trade secrets and inappropriate disclosure of confidential information could stem from such incidents. Any such operational disruption and/or misappropriation of information could result in lost sales, negative publicity or business delays and could have a material adverse effect on our business. In addition, requirements under the privacy laws of the jurisdictions in which we operate, such as the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) effective from May 1, 2018 and California Consumer Privacy Act effective from January 1, 2020, impose significant costs that are likely to increase over time.

Our business success depends on retaining our senior management and other key personnel and attracting and retaining other qualified employees.

We depend on our senior executive officers and other key personnel. The loss of any of these officers or key personnel could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. In addition, competition for employees among companies that rely heavily on engineering, technology, and manufacturing is intense, and the loss of employees or an inability to attract, retain, and motivate additional employees required for the operation and expansion of our business could hinder our ability to conduct research activities successfully, develop new products and services and meet our customers’ requirements.

The industries in which we operate expose us to potential liabilities arising out of the installation or use of our systems that could negatively affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

Our equipment, systems and services create potential exposure for us for personal injury, wrongful death, product liability, commercial claims, product recalls, production loss, property damage, pollution, and other environmental damages. In the event that a customer who purchases our equipment becomes subject to claims relating to food borne illnesses or other food safety or quality issues relating to food processed through the use of our equipment, we could be exposed to significant claims from our customers. Although we have obtained business and related risk insurance, we cannot assure you that our insurance will be adequate to cover all potential liabilities. Further, we cannot assure you that insurance will generally be available in the future or, if available, that premiums to obtain such insurance will be commercially reasonable. If we incur substantial liability and damages arising from such liability are not covered by insurance or are in excess of policy limits, or if we were to incur liability at a time when we are not able to obtain liability insurance, our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows could be materially adversely affected.

Environmental protection initiatives may negatively impact the profitability of our business.

Future environmental regulatory developments in the United States and abroad concerning environmental issues, such as climate change, could adversely affect our operations and increase operating costs and, through their impact on our customers, reduce demand for our products and services. Actions may be taken in the future by the U.S. government, state governments within the United States, foreign governments, or by signatory countries through a new global climate change treaty to regulate the emission of greenhouse gases. Pressures to reduce the footprint of carbon emissions impact the air transportation and manufacturing sectors. Airports, airlines, and air cargo providers are continually looking for new ways to become more energy efficient and reduce pollutants. Manufacturing plants are seeking means to reduce their heat-trapping emissions and minimize their energy and water usage. The precise nature of any such future environmental regulatory requirements and their applicability to us and our customers are difficult to predict, but the impact to us and the industries that we serve would likely be adverse and could be significant, including the potential for increased fuel costs, carbon taxes or fees, or a requirement to purchase carbon credits.

Our operations and industries are subject to a variety of U.S. and international laws, which can change. We therefore face uncertainties with regard to lawsuits, regulations, and other related matters.

In the normal course of business, we are subject to proceedings, lawsuits, claims, and other matters, including those that relate to the environment, health and safety, employee benefits, import and export compliance, intellectual property, product liability, tax matters, securities regulation, and regulatory compliance. For example, we are subject to changes in foreign laws and regulations that may encourage or require us to hire local contractors or require foreign contractors to employ citizens of, or purchase supplies from, a particular non-U.S. jurisdiction. In addition, environmental laws and regulations affect the systems and services we design, market and sell, as well as the facilities where we manufacture our systems. We are required to invest financial and managerial resources to comply with environmental laws and regulations and anticipate that we will continue to be required to do so in the future.

We could be adversely affected by violations of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and similar worldwide anti-bribery laws.

The U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), the U.K. Bribery Act of 2010 (the U.K. Bribery Act), and similar anti-bribery laws in other jurisdictions generally prohibit companies and their intermediaries from making improper payments for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. Our policies mandate compliance with these anti-bribery laws. We operate in many parts of the world that have experienced governmental corruption to some degree and, in certain circumstances, strict compliance with anti-bribery laws may conflict with local customs and practices. Despite our training and compliance programs, there is no assurance that our internal control policies and procedures will protect us from acts committed by our employees or agents. If we are found to be liable for FCPA, the U.K. Bribery Act or other similar violations (either due to our own acts, or due to the acts of others), we could suffer from civil and criminal penalties or other sanctions, which could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

We are subject to governmental export controls and economic sanctions laws that could impair our ability to compete in international markets and subject us to liability if we are not in full compliance with applicable laws.

Our business activities are subject to various restrictions under U.S. export controls and trade and economic sanctions laws, including the U.S. Commerce Department’s Export Administration Regulations (EAR), the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), and economic and trade sanctions regulations maintained by the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC). We are subject to similar laws and regulations in other countries in which we operate or make sales. If we fail to comply with these laws and regulations, we and certain of our employees could be subject to civil or criminal penalties and reputational harm. Obtaining the necessary authorizations, including any required license, for a particular transaction may be time-consuming, is not guaranteed, and may result in the delay or loss of sales opportunities. Furthermore, U.S. export control laws and economic sanctions laws in the U.S. and other countries prohibit certain transactions with U.S. embargoed or sanctioned countries, governments, persons and entities. Although we take precautions to prevent transactions with sanction targets, the possibility exists that we could inadvertently provide our products or services to persons prohibited by sanctions. This could result in negative consequences to us, including government investigations, penalties, and reputational harm.

Unfavorable tax law changes and tax authority rulings may adversely affect results.

We are subject to income taxes in the United States and in various foreign jurisdictions. Domestic and international tax liabilities are subject to the allocation of income among various tax jurisdictions. Our effective tax rate could be adversely affected by changes in the mix of earnings among countries with differing statutory tax rates, changes in the valuation allowance of deferred tax assets, or tax laws. The amount of income taxes and other taxes are subject to ongoing audits by U.S. federal, state, and local tax authorities and by non-U.S. authorities. If these audits result in assessments different from amounts we record, future financial results may include unfavorable tax adjustments.

If we repatriate any cash and cash equivalents from our foreign subsidiaries back to the U.S., we could be subject to significant tax liabilities.

As of December 31, 2019, our foreign subsidiaries held $37.1 million, or 93.9%, of our cash and cash equivalents. We currently intend that cash and cash equivalents held by these foreign subsidiaries will be indefinitely reinvested in foreign jurisdictions in order to fund working capital requirements, make investments, and repay debt (primarily inter-company). However, if cash and cash equivalents held by foreign subsidiaries are needed in the future to fund our operations in the United States or for the purpose of making certain strategic investments in the U.S. or otherwise, the repatriation of such amounts to the U.S. could result in an incremental tax liability (i.e., withholding taxes, foreign and/or U.S. state income taxes, and the impact of foreign currency movements), in the period in which the decision to repatriate previously taxed earnings occurs. Payment of any incremental tax liability would reduce the cash available to us to fund our operations or to make such strategic investment in the U.S. or otherwise. Refer to Note 7. Income Taxes for further discussion.

Our business could suffer in the event of a work stoppage by our unionized or non-union labor force.

A portion of our employees in the United States are represented by collective bargaining agreements. Outside the United States, we enter into employment contracts and agreements in certain countries in which national employee unions are mandatory or customary, such as in Belgium, Sweden, Spain, Italy, the Netherlands, Germany and China.

Any future strikes, employee slowdowns, or similar actions by one or more unions, in connection with labor contract negotiations or otherwise, could have a material adverse effect on our ability to operate our business.

Our existing financing agreements include restrictive and financial covenants.

Certain of our loan agreements require us to comply with various restrictive covenants and some contain financial covenants that require us to comply with specified financial ratios and tests. Our failure to meet these covenants could result in default under these loan agreements and would result in a cross-default under other loan agreements. In the event of a default and our inability to obtain a waiver of the default, all amounts outstanding under loan agreements could be declared immediately due and payable. Our failure to comply with these covenants could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

Fluctuations in interest rates could adversely affect our results of operations and financial position.

Our profitability may be adversely affected during any periods of unexpected or rapid increases in interest rates on our variable rate debt outstanding at December 31, 2019. A significant increase in interest rates would significantly increase our cost of borrowings, and may reduce the availability and increase the cost of obtaining new debt and refinancing existing indebtedness. For additional detail related to this risk, see Part II, Item 7A, "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk."

Changes affecting the availability of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) may have consequences for JBT that cannot yet reasonably be predicted.

We have outstanding debt and derivative transactions with variable interest rates based on LIBOR. The LIBOR benchmark has been the subject of national, international, and other regulatory guidance and proposals for reform. In July 2017, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority announced that it intends to stop persuading or compelling banks to submit rates for the calculation of LIBOR after 2021. These reforms may cause LIBOR to perform differently than in the past and LIBOR may ultimately cease to exist after 2021. Alternative benchmark rate(s) may replace LIBOR and could affect the Company's derivative instruments, debt payments and receipts. At this time, it is not possible to predict the effect of any changes to LIBOR, any phase out of LIBOR or any establishment of alternative benchmark rates. Any new benchmark rate will likely not replicate LIBOR exactly, which could impact our contracts which terminate after 2021. There is uncertainty about how applicable law, the courts or the Company will address the replacement of LIBOR with alternative rates on contracts that do not include alternative rate fallback provisions. In addition, any changes to benchmark rates may have an uncertain impact on our cost of funds and our access to the capital markets, which could impact our results of operations and cash flows.

Significant changes in actual investment return on pension assets, discount rates, and other factors could affect our results of operations, equity, and pension contributions in future periods.

Our results of operations may be positively or negatively affected by the amount of income or expense we record for our defined benefit pension plans. U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) require that we calculate income or expense for the plans using actuarial valuations. These valuations reflect assumptions about financial market and other economic conditions, which may change based on changes in key economic indicators. The most significant year-end assumptions we use to estimate pension income or expense are the discount rate and the expected long-term rate of return on plans assets. In addition, we are required to make an annual measurement of plan assets and liabilities, which may result in a significant change to equity through a reduction or increase to accumulated other comprehensive income. For a discussion regarding how our financial statements can be affected by pension plan accounting policies, see Part II, Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations -Critical Accounting Estimates – Defined Benefit Pension and Other Post-retirement Plans and Note 8. Pension and Post-Retirement and Other Benefit Plans to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Although GAAP expense and pension funding contributions are not directly related, key economic factors that affect GAAP expense would also likely affect the amount of cash we would contribute to pension plans as required under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act.

As a result of our acquisition activity, our goodwill and intangible assets have increased significantly in recent years and we may in the future incur impairments to goodwill or intangible assets.

When we acquire a business, a substantial portion of the purchase price of the acquisition is allocated to goodwill and other identifiable intangible assets. The amount of the purchase price which is allocated to goodwill is determined by the excess of the purchase price over the net identifiable assets acquired. Our balance sheet includes a significant amount of goodwill and other intangible assets, which represents approximately 45% of our total assets as of December 31, 2019. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 350 Intangibles-Goodwill and Other, our goodwill and other intangibles are reviewed for impairment annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Our valuation methodology for assessing impairment requires management to make judgments and assumptions based on historical experience and to rely heavily on projections of future operating performance. Because we operate in highly competitive environments, projections of our future operating results and cash flows may vary significantly from our actual results. If our estimates or the underlying

assumptions change in the future, we may be required to record impairment charges. Any such charge could have a material adverse effect on our reported net income.

As a publicly traded company, we incur regulatory costs that reduce profitability.

As a publicly traded corporation, we incur certain costs to comply with regulatory requirements of the NYSE and of the federal securities laws. If regulatory requirements were to become more stringent or if accounting or other controls thought to be effective later fail, we may be forced to make additional expenditures, the amounts of which could be material. Many of our competitors are privately owned, so our accounting and control costs can be a competitive disadvantage.

Our share repurchase program could increase the volatility of the price of our common stock.

On August 10, 2018, the Board authorized a share repurchase program for up to $30 million of our common stock beginning January 1, 2019 and continuing through December 31, 2021. We intend to fund repurchases through cash flows generated by our operations. The amount and timing of share repurchases are based on a variety of factors. Important factors that could cause us to limit, suspend or delay the Company’s stock repurchases include unfavorable market conditions, the trading price of the Company’s common stock, the nature of other investment opportunities presented to us from time to time, the ability to obtain financing at attractive rates, and the availability of U.S. cash. Repurchases of our shares will reduce the number of outstanding shares of our common stock and might incrementally increase the potential for volatility in our common stock by reducing the potential volumes at which our common stock may trade in the public market.

Our actual operating results may differ significantly from our guidance.

We regularly release guidance regarding our future performance that represents our management’s estimates as of the date of release. This guidance, which consists of forward-looking statements, is prepared by our management and is qualified by, and subject to, the assumptions and the other information contained or referred to in the release or report in which guidance is given. Our guidance is not prepared with a view toward compliance with published guidelines of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and neither our independent registered public accounting firm nor any other independent expert or outside party compiles or examines the guidance and, accordingly, no such person expresses any opinion or any other form of assurance with respect thereto.

Guidance is based upon a number of assumptions and estimates that, while presented with numerical specificity, are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control and are based upon specific assumptions with respect to future business decisions, some of which will change. We generally state possible outcomes as high and low ranges which are intended to provide a sensitivity analysis as variables are changed, but are not intended to represent that actual results could not fall outside of the suggested ranges. The principal reason that we release this data is to provide a basis for our management to discuss our business outlook with analysts and investors. We do not accept any responsibility for any projections or reports published by any such persons.

Guidance is necessarily speculative in nature, and it can be expected that some or all of the assumptions of the guidance furnished by us will not materialize or will vary significantly from actual results. Accordingly, our guidance is only an estimate of what management believes is realizable as of the date of release. Actual results will vary from the guidance and the variations may be material. Investors should also recognize that the reliability of any forecasted financial data diminishes the farther in the future that the data are forecast. In light of the foregoing, investors are urged to put the guidance in context and not to place undue reliance on it.

Our corporate governance documents and Delaware law may delay or discourage takeovers and business combinations that our stockholders might consider in their best interests.

Provisions in our certificate of incorporation and by-laws may make it difficult and expensive for a third-party to pursue a tender offer, change-in-control, or takeover attempt that is opposed by our management and Board of Directors. These provisions include, among others:


•	A Board of Directors that is divided into three classes with staggered terms;


•	Limitations on the right of stockholders to remove directors;


•	The right of our Board of Directors to issue preferred stock without stockholder approval;


•	The inability of our stockholders to act by written consent; and


•	Rules and procedures regarding how stockholders may present proposals or nominate directors at stockholders meetings.

Public stockholders who might desire to participate in this type of transaction may not have an opportunity to do so. These anti-takeover provisions could substantially impede the ability of public stockholders to benefit from a change-in-control or a change in our management or Board of Directors and, as a result, may adversely affect the marketability and market price of our common stock.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. Although the results of litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, we do not believe that the resolution of the proceedings that we are involved in, either individually or taken as a whole, will have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

In the normal course of our business, we are at times subject to pending and threatened legal actions, some for which the relief or damages sought may be substantial. Although we are not able to predict the outcome of such actions, after reviewing all pending and threatened actions with counsel and based on information currently available, management believes that the outcome of such actions, individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the results of operations or financial position of our Company. However, it is possible that the ultimate resolution of such matters, if unfavorable, may be material to the results of operations in a particular future period as the time and amount of any resolution of such actions and its relationship to the future results of operations are not currently known.

Liabilities are established for pending legal claims only when losses associated with the claims are judged to be probable, and the loss can be reasonably estimated. In many lawsuits and arbitrations, it is not considered probable that a liability has been incurred or not possible to estimate the ultimate or minimum amount of that liability until the case is close to resolution, in which case no liability would be recognized until that time.

ITEM 4. MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURES

Not applicable.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Executive Overview

We are a leading global technology solutions provider to high-value segments of the food and beverage industry with focus on proteins, liquid foods and automated guided vehicle systems. We design, produce, and service sophisticated products and systems for multi-national and regional customers through our FoodTech segment. We also sell critical equipment and services to domestic and international air transportation customers through our AeroTech segment.

Our Elevate plan was designed to capitalize on the leadership position of our businesses and favorable macroeconomic trends. The Elevate plan is based on a four-pronged approach to deliver continued growth and margin expansion.


•	Accelerate New Product & Service Development. We are accelerating the development of innovative products and services to provide customers with solutions that enhance yield and productivity and reduce lifetime cost of ownership.


•	Grow Recurring Revenue. We are capitalizing on our extensive installed base to expand recurring revenue from aftermarket parts and services, equipment leases, consumables and our Airport Services offerings.

•

Execute Impact Initiatives. We are enhancing organic growth through initiatives that enable us to sell the entire FoodTech portfolio globally, including enhancing our international sales and support infrastructure, localizing targeted products for emerging markets, and strategic cross selling of products. In AeroTech, we plan to continue to develop advanced military product offering and customer support capability to service global military customers. Additionally, our impact initiatives are designed to support the reduction in operating cost including strategic sourcing, relentless continuous improvement (lean) efforts, and the optimization of organization structure


•	Maintain a Disciplined Acquisition Program. We are also continuing our strategic acquisition program focused on companies that add complementary products, which enable us to offer more comprehensive solutions to customers, and meet our strict economic criteria for returns and synergies.

We developed the JBT Operating System in 2018, introducing a new level of process rigor across the company beginning in the first quarter of 2019. The system is designed to standardize and streamline reporting and problem resolution processes for increased visibility, efficiency, effectiveness and productivity in all business units.

Our approach to Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance (ESG) builds on our culture and long tradition of concern for our employees’ health, safety, and well-being; partnering with our customers to find ways to make better use of the earth’s precious food resources; and giving back to the communities where we live and work. Both our FoodTech equipment and AeroTech equipment businesses have significant growth potential related to clean technologies. Our FoodTech equipment and technologies continue to deliver quality performance while striving to minimize food waste, extend food product life, and maximize efficiency in order to create shared value for our food and beverage customers. Our AeroTech equipment business offers a variety of power options, including electrically powered ground support equipment, that help customers meet their environmental objectives. We know we can do more. We ended this year by commencing a comprehensive evaluation to determine which ESG topics are most pressing for our business. We are gathering input from investors, customers, employees and other stakeholders. The result will be a materiality matrix informing our development of an ESG strategy, balanced to ensure we invest responsibly in initiatives that can address the risks, and opportunities, presented by ESG.

We evaluate our operating results considering key performance indicators including segment operating profit, segment operating profit margin, segment EBITDA (adjusted when appropriate) and segment EBITDA margins.

Business Conditions and Outlook

During 2019, operating margins have exceeded our expectations due to the strength of our aftermarket business and the contribution from recent acquisitions. Additionally, we have continued to enhance our internal operating efficiency with the ongoing benefits of our restructuring program and management through the JBT operating system.

In terms of top–line growth, the environment in 2019 was characterized by business uncertainty and impacted our ability to convert healthy commercial activity into order commitments at FoodTech. However, trends remained strong at AeroTech. Moreover, revenue from recurring sources (aftermarket parts and services and lease revenues), which represented more than 40% of total JBT revenue, has created a more resilient JBT with greater stability and higher profitability.

While the demand environment at FoodTech remains uncertain, we have captured sustainable structural improvements from our restructuring program. In addition, the real-time production information provided by the JBT Operating System enables us to proactively align costs with current market conditions.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The results for the periods ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 include several items that affect the comparability of our results. These non-GAAP financial measures exclude certain amounts that are included in a measure calculated under U.S. GAAP, or include certain amounts that are excluded from a measure calculated under U.S. GAAP. By excluding or including these items, we believe we provide greater transparency into our operating results and trends, and a more meaningful comparison of our ongoing operating results, consistent with how management evaluates performance. Management uses these non-GAAP financial 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 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.

Additional details for each Non-GAAP financial measure follow:


•	Adjusted income from continuing operations and Adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations: We adjust earnings for restructuring expense and merger and acquisition related costs ("M&A related costs"), which include integration costs and the amortization of inventory step-up from business combinations, and transaction costs for both potential and completed M&A transactions.

•

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA: We define EBITDA as earnings before income taxes, interest expense and depreciation and amortization. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA before restructuring expense, pension expense other than service cost and M&A related costs. While the Company's acquired intangible assets and fixed assets contribute to generation of our revenue, management believes that due to the Company's focus on growth through acquisitions EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA facilitate an evaluation of business performance by excluding the impact of amortization and depreciation, and, in the case of Adjusted EBITDA, without the fluctuations in the amount of certain costs that do not reflect our underlying operating results.We use EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA internally to make operating decisions and believe this information is helpful to investors because it allows more meaningful period-to-period comparisons of our ongoing operating results.

•

Segment Adjusted Operating Profit and Segment Adjusted EBITDA: We report segment operating profit, which is the measure of segment profit or loss required to be disclosed in accordance with GAAP. We adjust segment operating profit for restructuring expense and M&A related costs. We believe segment adjusted operating profit 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. We calculate segment Adjusted EBITDA by subtracting depreciation and amortization from segment adjusted operating profit. While Company's acquired intangible assets and fixed assets contribute to generation of Company's revenue, management believes that due to the Company's focus on growth through acquisitions segment Adjusted EBITDA facilitates an evaluation of business segment performance by excluding the impact of amortization due to the step up in value of intangible assets and depreciation of fixed assets.

•

Free cash flow: We define free cash flow as cash provided by continuing operating activities, less capital expenditures, plus proceeds from sale of fixed assets and pension contributions. For free cash flow purposes we consider contributions to pension plans to be more comparable to payment of debt, and therefore exclude these contributions from the calculation of free cash flow. 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. We believe this information is useful to investors because it provides an understanding of the cash available to fund these initiatives.

•

Constant currency measures: We evaluate our results of operations on both an as reported and a constant currency basis. The constant currency presentation excludes the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. We calculate constant currency percentages by converting our financial results in local currency for a period using the average exchange rate for the prior period to which we are comparing.

The tables included below reconcile each non-GAAP financial measure to the most comparable GAAP financial measure.

The table below provides a reconciliation of cash provided by continuing operating activities to free cash flow:

(1)	Beginning in the first quarter of 2019, we changed our presentation of non-GAAP measures to exclude M&A related costs. M&A related costs are excluded from the prior year results to conform to the current year presentation.

We evaluate our results of operations on both as reported and a constant currency basis. The constant currency presentation is a non-GAAP financial measure, which excludes the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. We believe providing constant currency information provides valuable supplemental information regarding our results of operations, consistent with how we evaluate our performance. We calculate constant currency percentages by converting our financial results in local currency for a period using the average exchange rate for the prior period to which we are comparing. This calculation may differ from similarly-titled measures used by other companies.

The non-GAAP financial measures disclosed in this Annual Report on Form 10-K are not intended to nor should they be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Impact to 2018 Revenue from Change in Revenue Recognition Rules

During the quarter and year ended December 31, 2018, reported revenues were positively impacted by the adoption of ASC 606 by approximately $27 million and $127 million, respectively. The following table shows the components of this change, for each of the quarterly periods in 2018.



in millions	Q1		Q2			Q3		Q4		YTD
Previously Recognized ⁽¹⁾	$	43.3	$	57.7		$	13.0	$	11.7	$	125.7

Total ASC 606 Impact	$	50.5	$	31.6		$	17.8	$	27.2	$	127.1

(1) Previously Recognized amounts represent revenue reported in the period for contracts where installation was completed in 2018, but that were previously recognized under legacy GAAP during 2017 when the equipment was shipped for contracts previously recognized upon shipment, or progress was made for former percentage of completion contracts.

(2) Accelerated amounts represent revenue accelerated into the period as we are recognizing revenue over time on projects that did not ship by the end of the quarter. This reflects a positive impact on our results comparable to 2017, solely due to adoption of ASC 606. Deferred amounts represent revenue not recognized in the period, but would have been under legacy GAAP. This reflects a negative impact on our results compared to 2017, solely due to adoption of ASC 606.

Results of Continuing Operations

A discussion of our results of operations for 2019 compared to 2018 is set forth below. For a discussion of our results of operations, including our segment results of operations, for 2018 compared to 2017, refer to the discussion under the subcaptions "2018 Compared With 2017" in Item 7 – MD&A in Part II of our Annual Report on Form 10–K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, which discussion is incorporated by reference herein.

2019 Compared With 2018

Total revenue increased $26.0 million in 2019 compared to 2018. This increase reflects a 7% gain from acquisitions and 3% growth from organic revenue, partially offset by a 7% decline in revenue due to recognition of a one-time transition benefit in 2018 from adoption of the new revenue recognition standard, and a 2% unfavorable foreign currency translation. Recurring revenue represented 40% of total revenue compared with 37% in the prior year period.

Operating income margin was 9.7% in 2019 compared to 7.5% in 2018. This increase of 220 bps, was as a result of the following items, partially offset by a net currency translation loss of $5.7 million in 2019:


•	Gross profit margin increased 270 bps to 30.7% compared to 28.0% in 2018. This increase was the result of $17 million in efficiency improvements driven by continuing restructuring activities along with higher pricing and an increase in the mix of recurring revenue.


•	Selling, general and administrative expense increased in dollars and as a percentage of revenue primarily due to an increase in acquisition costs and amortization expense from new acquisitions. As a percentage of revenue, these expenses have increased 230 bps to 20.4% compared to 18.1% in the same period last year.


•	Restructuring expense decreased $33.5 million. In 2019, we recorded restructuring expense of $13.5 million in connection with our 2018 restructuring plan described below. As a percent of revenue, these expenses have declined 170 bps to 0.7% compared to 2.4% in the same period last year.

Pension expense, other than service cost increased by $1.6 million driven by higher interest cost and a decrease in expected return from plan assets.

Interest expense, net increased $4.9 million driven by higher interest of $6.5 million resulting from higher average borrowings to fund acquisitions, partially offset by a benefit of $1.6 million from cross currency swaps.

Income tax expense for 2019 reflected an effective income tax rate of 22.6% compared to 19.1% in 2018. The higher effective tax rate in 2019 resulted primarily from a decreased discrete tax benefit from vesting of stock based compensation awards of $2.2 million in

2019 compared to $4.9 million in 2018. Additionally, the 2018 effective tax rate included a $1.5 million tax adjustment related to the remeasurement of US deferred taxes to reflect the US income tax rate decrease effective January 1, 2018.

Restructuring

In the first quarter of 2018, we implemented a program ("2018 restructuring plan") to address our global processes to flatten the organization, improve efficiency and better leverage general and administrative resources. During the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2019, we have refined our total estimated costs in connection with this plan, with the original estimate of $60.0 million to be recognized by the end of 2019, to a range of $62.0 million to $64.0 million to be completed in 2020. These changes reflect additional costs identified in order to achieve expected savings.

The cumulative cost savings for the 2018 restructuring plan at the end of year 2019 was $35.9 million with savings of $21.3 million in cost of sales and $14.6 million in selling, general and administrative expense. Incremental cost savings for the 2018 restructuring plan during the twelve months ended December 31, 2019 was $28.5 million, with savings of $17 million in cost of sales and $11.5 million in selling, general and administrative expense. A portion of the $28.5 million in savings was used to invest in our JBT Elevate growth initiatives. For the 2018 restructuring plan, we expect to generate total annualized savings of approximately $55 million. Approximate incremental cost savings we expect to realize during the year 2020 are as follows:



(In millions)	December 31, 2020
Cost of sales	$	11.4
Selling, general and administrative expenses	7.6
Total incremental cost savings	$	19.0

The timing for certain incremental cost savings has shifted from 2020 to 2019, with an additional $8.5 million of cost savings realized during the year 2019. This shift in cost savings was driven by earlier than estimated benefit from productivity improvements and reductions in force, and results in no change to the cumulative expected cost savings and therefore no expected impact to future operating results or liquidity.

For additional financial information about restructuring, refer to Note 19. Restructuring of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

(2)

Segment operating profit is defined as total segment revenue less segment operating expense. Corporate expense, restructuring expense, interest income and expense and income taxes are not allocated to the segments. Corporate expense generally includes corporate staff-related expense, stock-based compensation, LIFO adjustments, certain foreign currency-related gains and losses, and the impact of unusual or strategic events not representative of segment operations.

JBT FoodTech

2019 Compared With 2018

FoodTech revenue declined 2.4% for the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to 2018. Revenue from acquisitions, a 7.8% increase, and organic growth of 1.0% were offset by an 8.3% decline reflecting the absence of the ASC 606 transition benefit included in the year-ago period, and a 2.7% unfavorable currency translation. Organically, growth in recurring revenue streams, including aftermarket parts and services, contributed 3% in revenue growth which was offset by 2% decline in equipment revenue. During a period of business uncertainty that has slowed the conversion of commercial activity to customer commitments, JBT’s focus on providing comprehensive solutions - including upgrades, enhancements, and refurbishments of existing equipment and service to our large and expanding installed base - has demonstrated the diversity of our revenue streams.

FoodTech operating profit increased by $15.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to 2018, despite the decline in revenue. A richer mix of aftermarket revenue and the savings resulting from continuing restructuring activities drove the increased profitability, partially offset by:


•	$6.5 million in higher depreciation and amortization,


•	$9.7 million in higher M&A related expense a result of three acquisitions, and


•	$6.5 million in unfavorable currency translation.

Gross profit margins improved 380 bps driven by higher pricing and an increase in the mix of recurring revenue to equipment along with $15 million in savings from restructuring activities in the year ended December 31, 2019 as compared to 2018. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $24.9 million in the year ended December 31, 2019 as compared to 2018. Savings from restructuring activities of $9.2 million were more than offset by $16.0 million in incremental costs associated with acquired companies along with higher compensation and continued investments in growth initiatives.

JBT AeroTech

2019 Compared With 2018

JBT AeroTech's revenue increased $57.8 million in 2019 compared to 2018. This is a 10.4% increase with a 7.4% increase in organic growth, a 5.8% increase from acquisitions, a one-time transition benefit in 2018 from adoption of the new revenue recognition standard resulted in a 2.4% unfavorable impact, and currency translation had a 0.4% unfavorable impact. Revenue from our mobile equipment business increased $27.6 million resulting from $32.4 million in revenue from acquisitions partly offset by a decline of $4.8 million in organic sales mainly driven by fewer deicers sold to commercial customers. Revenue from our organic fixed equipment business increased $23.8 million primarily due to higher sales of passenger boarding bridges and related products to domestic airports. Service revenue increased by $8.7 million driven mainly by higher revenue from new and existing maintenance contracts and currency translation had an unfavorable impact of $2.3 million.

JBT AeroTech operating profit increased $14.8 million in 2019 compared to 2018. JBT AeroTech's operating profit margin was 12.8% compared to 11.5% in the prior year, reflecting an increase of 130 bps. Gross profit margins improved by 150 bps primarily due to pricing, $2.1 million in efficiency improvements resulting from continuing restructuring activities and the impact of higher gross profit margins from an acquisition. Selling, general and administrative expenses in 2019 were $7.1 million higher than 2018, including $7.3 million from acquisitions, $1.6 million in savings from restructuring, and were 30 bps higher as a percent of sales compared to 2018.

Currency translation did not have a significant impact on our operating profit comparative results for JBT AeroTech.

Corporate Expense

2019 Compared With 2018

Corporate expense increased by $19.1 million compared to 2018, driven primarily by an increase in M&A related costs, investments in global sourcing, pension expense, and higher incentive compensation. Corporate expense as a percent of revenues increased to 3.2% in 2019 compared to 2.2% in 2018.

Inbound Orders and Order Backlog

JBT AeroTech	604.5		597.2
Intercompany eliminations/other	0.5		0.2
Total inbound orders	$	1,877.2	$	1,896.1

Order backlog is calculated as the estimated sales value of unfilled, confirmed customer orders as of December 31,

JBT FoodTech	$	401.3	$	405.4
JBT AeroTech	304.6		305.9
Total order backlog	$	705.9	$	711.3

Order backlog in our JBT FoodTech segment at December 31, 2019 decreased by $4.1 million compared to December 31, 2018. We expect to convert almost all of JBT FoodTech backlog at December 31, 2019 into revenue during 2020.

Order backlog in our JBT AeroTech segment at December 31, 2019 decreased by $1.3 million compared to December 31, 2018. We expect to convert 86% of the JBT AeroTech backlog at December 31, 2019 into revenue during 2020.

Seasonality

We experience seasonality in our operating results. Historically, our revenues and operating income have been lower in the first quarter and highest in the fourth quarter primarily as a result of our customers' purchasing trends.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary sources of liquidity are cash provided by operating activities of our U.S. and foreign operations and borrowings from our credit facility. Our liquidity as of December 31, 2019, or cash plus borrowing capacity under our credit facilities was $324.5 million. The cash flows generated by our operations and the credit facility are expected to be sufficient to satisfy our working capital needs, research and development activities, restructuring costs, capital expenditures, pension contributions, dividend payments, anticipated share repurchases, acquisitions and other financing requirements. Furthermore, management continues to evaluate our capital structure.

As of December 31, 2019, we had $39.5 million of cash and cash equivalents, $37.1 million of which was held by our foreign subsidiaries. Although these funds are considered permanently invested in our foreign subsidiaries, we are not presently aware of any restriction on the repatriation of these funds. We maintain significant operations outside of the U.S., and many of our uses of cash for working capital, capital expenditures and business acquisitions arise in these foreign jurisdictions. If these funds were needed to fund our operations or satisfy obligations in the U.S., they could be repatriated and their repatriation into the U.S. could cause us to incur additional U.S. income taxes and foreign withholding taxes.

As noted above, funds held outside of the U.S. are considered permanently invested in our non-U.S. subsidiaries. At times, these foreign subsidiaries have cash balances that exceed their immediate working capital or other cash needs. In these circumstances, the foreign subsidiaries may loan funds to the U.S. parent company on a temporary basis; the U.S. parent company has in the past and may in the future use the proceeds of these temporary intercompany loans to reduce outstanding borrowings under our committed credit facilities. By using available non-U.S. cash to repay our debt on a short-term basis, we can optimize our leverage ratio, which has the effect of lowering our interest costs.

Under Internal Revenue Service (IRS) guidance, no incremental tax liability is incurred on the proceeds of these loans as long as each individual loan has a term of 30 days or less and all such loans from each subsidiary are outstanding for a total of less than 60 days during the year. During 2019, each such loan was outstanding for less than 30 days, and all such loans were outstanding for less than 60 days in the aggregate. We used the proceeds of these intercompany loans to reduce outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility. We may choose to access such funds again in the future to the extent they are available and can be transferred without significant cost, and use them on a temporary basis to repay outstanding borrowings or for other corporate purposes, but intend to do so only as allowed under this IRS guidance. There are no loans subject to this IRS guidance as of December 31, 2019.

The Board authorized a new share repurchase program of up to $30 million of the Company's common stock, effective January 1, 2019 through December 31, 2021, which replaced the prior share repurchase program. Shares may be purchased from time to time in open market transactions, subject to market conditions. Repurchased shares become treasury shares, which are accounted for using the cost method and are intended to be used for future awards under the Incentive Compensation Plan. No shares were repurchased under this program in 2019. Refer to Note 11. Stockholders' Equity for further details.

Contractual Obligations and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The following is a summary of our contractual obligations at December 31, 2019:

Total contractual obligations	$	922.6	$	102.0	$	72.8	$	741.1	$	6.7

(a)

Our available long-term debt is dependent upon our compliance with covenants described under the heading “Financing Arrangements” in Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. Any violations of covenants or other events of default, which are not waived or cured, could have a material impact on our ability to maintain our committed financial arrangements or accelerate our obligation to repay the amount due. We were in compliance with all debt covenants as of December 31, 2019.


(b)	Interest payments were determined using the weighted average rates for all debt outstanding as of December 31, 2019.


(c)	See Note 2. Acquisitions for further details on our recent acquisitions. Amounts remaining due to sellers, subject to certain conditions, relate to the acquisitions of Proseal and Prime.

(d)

In the normal course of business, we enter into agreements with our suppliers to purchase raw materials or services. These agreements include a requirement that our supplier provide products or services to our specifications and require us to make a firm purchase commitment to our supplier. As substantially all of these commitments are associated with purchases made to fulfill our customers’ orders, the costs associated with these agreements will ultimately be reflected in cost of sales on our Consolidated Statements of Income.


(e)	This amount reflects planned contributions in 2020 to our pension plans. Required contributions for future years depend on factors that cannot be determined at this time.


(f)	This amount reflects the transition tax on the previously untaxed and unrepatriated current and accumulated post-1986 foreign earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries as required by the Tax Act.

The following is a summary of other off-balance sheet arrangements at December 31, 2019:



	Amount of commitment expiration per period
(In millions)	Total amount		Less than 1 year		1 - 3 years		3-5 years		After 5 years
Letters of credit and bank guarantees	$	23.9	$	21.8	$	2.0	$	—	$	0.1
Surety bonds	129.3		53.8		75.5		—		—
Total other off-balance sheet arrangements	$	153.2	$	75.6	$	77.5	$	—	$	0.1

To provide required security regarding our performance on certain contracts, we provide letters of credit, surety bonds and bank guarantees, for which we are contingently liable. In order to obtain these financial instruments, we pay fees to various financial institutions in amounts competitively determined in the marketplace. Our ability to generate revenue from certain contracts is dependent upon our ability to obtain these off-balance sheet financial instruments.

Our off-balance sheet financial instruments may be renewed, revised or released based on changes in the underlying commitment. Historically, our commercial commitments have not been drawn upon to a material extent; consequently, management believes it is

not likely that there will be claims against these commitments that would result in a negative impact on our key financial ratios or our ability to obtain financing.

Cash Flows

Cash flows for each of the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 were as follows:



(In millions)	2019			2018
Cash provided by continuing operating activities	$	110.6		$	154.6
Cash required by investing activities	(401.7		)	(94.4		)
Cash (required) provided by financing activities	287.5			(48.3		)
Cash required by discontinued operating activities	(0.4		)	(0.7		)
Effect of foreign exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents	0.5			(2.2		)
(Decrease) increase in cash and cash equivalents	$	(3.5	)	$	9.0

2019 Compared with 2018

Cash provided by continuing operating activities in 2019 was $110.6 million, representing a $44.0 million decrease compared to 2018. The decrease in the operating cash flows is driven by higher trade receivables and lower advance and progress payments from customers. These decreases in operating cash flows were partially offset by higher income in 2019 compared to 2018 combined with lower payments related to pension and restructuring.

Cash required by investing activities during 2019 was $401.7 million, representing a $307.3 million increase compared to 2018. The change was due primarily to a higher level of investments in acquired companies, where we paid $365.9 million for acquisitions completed during 2019 compared to payments of $57.5 million in 2018.

Cash provided by financing activities in 2019 was $287.5 million, representing a $335.8 million increase in cash provided by financing activities compared to 2018. The change was due primarily to higher borrowing required to fund higher investment in acquisitions, partially offset by lower deferred acquisition payments and no stock repurchases in 2019, compared to $20 million in 2018.

Financing Arrangements

As of December 31, 2019 we had $700.9 million drawn on and $288.9 million of availability under the revolving credit facility. Our ability to use this availability is limited by the leverage ratio covenant described below.

Our credit agreement includes covenants that, if not met, could lead to a renegotiation of our credit lines, a requirement to repay our borrowings and/or a significant increase in our cost of financing. As of December 31, 2019, we were in compliance with all covenants in our credit agreement. We expect to remain in compliance with all covenants in the foreseeable future. However, there can be no assurance that continued or increased volatility in global economic conditions will not impair our ability to meet our covenants, or that we will continue to be able to access the capital and credit markets on terms acceptable to us or at all.

For additional information about our credit agreement, refer to Note 6. Debt of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

We have entered into interest rate swaps to fix the interest rate applicable to certain of our variable-rate debt, with agreements for $175 million notional value expiring in February 2020, and agreements for $50 million of notional value expiring in January 2021. These agreements swap one-month LIBOR for fixed rates. We have designated these swaps as cash flow hedges and all changes in fair value of the swaps are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). As a result, as of December 31, 2019, a portion of our variable rate debt was effectively fixed rate debt, while approximately $475.9 million, or 68%, remained subject to floating, or market, rates. Since December 31, 2019, agreements for $175 million notional amount have expired, and as a result, approximately $650.9 million, or 93%, of our outstanding debt as of December 31, 2019 is now subject to floating interest rates. To the extent interest rates increase in future periods, our earnings could be negatively impacted by higher interest expense.

Critical Accounting Estimates

We prepare our consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. As such, we are required to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions about matters that are inherently uncertain. On an ongoing basis, our management re-evaluates these estimates, judgments and assumptions for reasonableness because of the critical impact that these factors have on the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the periods presented. Management has discussed the development and selection of these critical accounting estimates with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors and the Audit Committee has reviewed this disclosure. We believe that the following are the critical accounting estimates used in preparing our financial statements.

Intangible Asset Valuation

Accounting for business combinations requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions at the acquisition date specifically for the valuation of intangible assets. In the year of such acquisitions, critical estimates in valuing certain of the intangible assets we have acquired include, but are not limited to, growth rates for future expected cash flows, discount rates, customer attrition rates and royalty rates. The discount rates used to discount expected future cash flows to present value are typically derived from a weighted-average cost of capital analysis and adjusted to reflect inherent risks. Unanticipated events and circumstances may occur that could affect either the accuracy or validity of such assumptions, estimates or actual results.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize a significant portion of our revenue over time, utilizing the input method of “cost-to-cost” for contracts that provide highly customized equipment and refurbishments of customer-owned equipment for which we have a contractual, enforceable right to collect payment upon customer cancellation for performance completed to date. We utilize the input method of “cost-to-cost” to recognize revenue over time which requires that we measure progress based on costs incurred to date relative to total estimated cost at completion. These cost estimates are based on significant assumptions and estimates to project the outcome of future events including labor productivity and availability, the complexity of the work to be performed, the cost of materials, and the performance of subcontractors.

Income Taxes

In determining our current income tax provision, we assessed temporary differences resulting from differing treatments of items for tax and accounting purposes. These differences resulted in deferred tax assets and liabilities which are recorded in our consolidated balance sheet. When we maintain deferred tax assets, we must assess the likelihood that these assets will be recovered through adjustments to future taxable income. To the extent we believe, based on available evidence, it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the asset will not be realized, we establish a valuation allowance. We record an allowance reducing the asset to a value we believe is more likely than not to be realized based on our expectation of future taxable income. We believe the accounting estimate related to the valuation allowance is a critical accounting estimate because it is highly susceptible to change from period to period as it requires management to make assumptions about our future income over the lives of the deferred tax assets, and the impact of increasing or decreasing the valuation allowance is potentially material to our results of operations.

Forecasting future income requires us to use a significant amount of judgment. In estimating future income, we use our internal operating budgets and long-range planning projections. We developed our budgets and long-range projections based on recent results, trends, economic and industry forecasts influencing our segments’ performance, our backlog, planned timing of new product launches, and customer sales commitments. Significant changes in the expected realization of the net deferred tax assets would require that we adjust the valuation allowance, resulting in a change to net income.

Defined Benefit Pension

The measurement of pension plans’ costs requires the use of assumptions for discount rates, investment returns, employee turnover rates, retirement rates, mortality rates and other factors. The actuarial assumptions used in our pension reporting are reviewed annually and compared with external benchmarks to ensure that they appropriately account for our future pension and post-retirement benefit obligations. While we believe that the assumptions used are appropriate, differences between assumed and actual experience may affect our operating results.

Our accrued pension liability reflects the funded status of our worldwide plans, or the projected benefit obligation net of plan assets. Our discount rate assumption is determined by developing a yield curve based on high quality corporate bonds with maturities matching the plan’s expected benefit payment streams. The plans’ expected cash flows are then discounted by the resulting year-by-year spot rates. The projected benefit obligation is sensitive to changes in our estimate of the discount rate. The discount rate used in calculating the projected benefit obligation for the U.S. pension plan, which represents 85% of all pension plan obligations, was 3.28%

in 2019 and 3.73% in 2018 and 2017. A decrease of 50 basis points in the discount rate used in our calculation would increase our projected benefit obligation by $18.9 million.

Our pension expense is sensitive to changes in our estimate of the expected rate of return on plan assets. The expected return on assets used in calculating the pension expense for the U.S. pension plan, which represents 96% of all pension plan assets, was 5.75% for 2019, 6.50% for 2018 and 6.75% for 2017. For 2020, the rate is expected to be 5.0%. A change of 50 basis points in the expected return on assets assumption would impact pension expense by $1.3 million (pre-tax).

See Note 8. Pension and Post-Retirement and Other Benefit Plans of the notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data for additional discussion of our assumptions and the amounts reported in the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

For information with respect to recent accounting pronouncements and the impact of these pronouncements on our consolidated financial statements see Note 1 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are subject to financial market risks, including fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. In order to manage and mitigate our exposure to these risks, we may use derivative financial instruments in accordance with established policies and procedures. We do not use derivative financial instruments where the objective is to generate profits solely from trading activities. At December 31, 2019 and 2018, our derivative holdings consisted of foreign currency forward contracts and foreign currency instruments embedded in purchase and sale contracts and interest rate swap contracts.

These forward-looking disclosures address potential impacts from market risks only as they affect our financial instruments. They do not include other potential effects resulting from changes in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates, commodity prices or equity prices that could impact our business..

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

During 2019, our foreign subsidiaries generated 33.8% of our revenue. Financial statements of our foreign subsidiaries for which the U.S. dollar is not the functional currency are translated into U.S. dollars. As a result, we are exposed to foreign currency translation risk.

When we sell or purchase products or services, transactions are frequently denominated in currencies other than an operation’s functional currency. As a result, we are exposed to foreign currency transaction risk. When foreign currency exposures exist, we may enter into foreign exchange forward instruments with third parties to economically hedge foreign currency exposures. Our hedging policy reduces, but does not entirely eliminate, the impact of foreign currency exchange rate movements. We do not apply hedge accounting for our foreign currency forward instruments.

We economically hedge our recognized foreign currency assets and liabilities to reduce the risk that our earnings and cash flows will be adversely affected by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. We expect any gains or losses in the hedging portfolio to be substantially offset by a corresponding gain or loss in the underlying exposures being hedged. We also economically hedge firmly committed anticipated transactions in the normal course of business. As these are not offset by an underlying balance sheet position being hedged, our earnings can be significantly impacted on a periodic basis by the change in unrealized value of these hedges.

We use a sensitivity analysis to measure the impact of an immediate 10% adverse movement in the foreign currency exchange rates. This calculation assumes that each exchange rate would change in the same direction relative to the U.S. dollar and all other variables are held constant. We expect that changes in the fair value of derivative instruments will offset the changes in fair value of the underlying assets and liabilities on the balance sheet. A 10% adverse movement in the foreign currency exchange rates would reduce the value of our derivative instruments by $4.3 million (pre-tax) as of December 31, 2019. This amount would be reflected in our net income but would be significantly offset by the changes in the fair value of the underlying hedged assets and liabilities.

In July 2018, the Company entered into a series of cross-currency swaps with an aggregate notional of $116.4 million (€100 million) to hedge the currency exchange component of our net investments in certain of our foreign subsidiaries. The aggregate fair value of these swaps was in an asset position of $6.4 million at December 31, 2019. We use a sensitivity analysis to measure the impact of an immediate 10% adverse movement in the foreign currency exchange rates underlying these swaps. A hypothetical 10% adverse

movement in the currency exchange rates underlying these swaps from the market rate at December 31, 2019 would have resulted in a loss in value of the swaps by $11.2 million.

Interest Rate Risk

Our debt instruments subject us to market risk associated with movements in interest rates. As of December 31, 2019, we had interest rate swaps totaling $225 million notional amount to fix the interest rate applicable to certain of our variable rate debt. Since December 31, 2019, agreements for $175 million notional amount have expired, and as a result, approximately $650.9 million, or 93%, of our outstanding debt as of December 31, 2019 is now subject to floating interest rates. A hypothetical 10% adverse movement in the interest rate would result in higher annual interest expense by $1.9 million.

We have entered into interest rate swaps to fix the interest rate applicable to certain of our variable-rate debt, with agreements for $175 million notional value expiring in February 2020, and the agreements for $50 million of notional value expiring in January 2021. These agreements swap one-month LIBOR for fixed rates. We have designated these swaps as cash flow hedges and all changes in fair value of the swaps are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). We use a sensitivity analysis to measure the impact on fair value of the interest rate swaps of an immediate adverse movement in the interest rates of 50 basis points. This analysis was based on a modeling technique that measures the hypothetical market value resulting from a 50 basis point change in interest rates. This adverse change in the applicable interest rates would result in an decrease of $0.2 million in the net fair value of our interest rate swaps for $50 million of notional value expiring in January 2021.

ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Stockholders and Board of Directors

John Bean Technologies Corporation:

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of John Bean Technologies Corporation and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2019, and the related notes and financial statement schedule II (collectively, the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2019, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, and our report dated March 2, 2020 expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Changes in Accounting Principles

As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has changed its method of accounting for leases as of January 1, 2019, due to the adoption of Accounting Standard Codification Topic 842, Leases, and its method of accounting for revenue recognition as of January 1, 2018, due to the adoption of Accounting Standard Codification Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matters

The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

Assessment of the Revenue Recognized for Over Time Contracts Open at Year-end

As discussed in Notes 1 and 12 to the consolidated financial statements, the company recognizes revenue over time using the cost-to-cost method for certain contracts that provide highly customized equipment and refurbishments of customer-owned equipment. For contracts that recognize revenue over time using the cost-to-cost method, an estimation of costs to complete for the equipment and

installation within the contracts is required. Product revenue for the year-ended December 31, 2019 was $1.7 billion. Of this amount, the revenue recognized over time using the cost-to-cost method was $648 million.

We identified the assessment of the revenue recognized for over time contracts open at year-end as a critical audit matter. Estimation of costs to complete in process contracts that provide highly customized equipment and refurbishments of customer-owned equipment involved subjective estimates which required the application of greater auditor judgment. In addition, estimation of the costs to complete was challenging to evaluate as changes to the assumption could have had a significant effect on the revenue recognized in the period.

The primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter included the following. We tested certain internal controls over the Company’s process to develop estimates of the total contract costs to be incurred, including controls over the estimate of costs to complete the contract. We performed sensitivity analyses over the estimated costs to complete at year end to assess the impact on the Company’s determination of the revenue recognized in the period. We tested the Company’s estimated costs to complete by comparing the estimated costs to complete at year end to the original budget, prior period estimates, and changes in estimated costs subsequent to the balance sheet date. We compared the Company’s estimated costs to complete for certain open contracts to actual results of similar closed contracts. We compared the Company’s estimated costs to complete at contract inception to actual results of closed contracts to assess the Company’s ability to accurately estimate costs for over time contracts.

Evaluation of the Fair Value of Customer Relationship and Technology Intangible Assets Related to the Proseal Acquisition

As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company makes certain assumptions and judgments in determining fair value measurements for business acquisitions. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company acquired Proseal UK Limited (Proseal) and accounted for the transaction as a business combination. The acquisition resulted in the recognition of $91.5 million in intangible assets other than goodwill, the majority of which pertains to customer relationships and technology.

We identified the evaluation of the fair value of customer relationship and technology intangible assets related to the Proseal acquisition as a critical audit matter. The evaluation of the fair value involved a high degree of subjective auditor judgment related to the use of specific valuation assumptions. In addition, minor changes in these assumptions could have a significant impact on the fair value of the intangible assets. The key assumptions used included the growth rates for future expected cash flows, discount rate, customer attrition rate, and royalty rate.

The primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter included the following. We tested certain controls over the Company’s process for determining the fair value of the intangible assets, including controls related to the selection of the key assumptions used. We evaluated the future expected cash flows by comparing the assumptions used to Proseal’s historical performance and to industry data. We evaluated the customer attrition rate assumption by assessing the underlying historical data from which it was derived. We also involved valuation professionals with specialized skills and knowledge who assisted in evaluating:


•	Certain growth rate assumptions for future expected cash flows used to value the customer relationship and technology intangible assets by comparing to peer companies’ or macro-economic trend data;


•	The discount rate assumption used to value the customer relationship and technology intangible assets by independently developing a range of rates using publicly available market interest rate data and comparing the independent ranges to the rate used by the Company;


•	The customer attrition rate assumption used to value the customer relationship intangible asset by deriving an independent computation of the assumption using Proseal’s historical data and evaluating the historical data’s application in the forecasted cash flows; and


•	The royalty rate assumption used to value the technology intangible asset by comparing to third party royalty rates.

JOHN BEAN TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of John Bean Technologies Corporation (JBT, we, or the Company) and all wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany investments, accounts, and transactions have been eliminated.

Use of estimates

Preparation of financial statements that follow U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.

Allowance for doubtful accounts

The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts to reserve for potentially uncollectible receivables. Allowance for doubtful accounts as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 are not material to the financial statements.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, which includes an estimate for excess and obsolete inventories. Inventory costs include those costs directly attributable to products, including all manufacturing overhead but excluding costs to distribute. Cost is determined on the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) basis for certain of our domestic inventories. We exclude certain inventories relating to over time contracts, which are stated at the actual production cost incurred to date, reduced by the portion of these costs identified with revenue recognized. The first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method is used to determine the cost for all other inventories.

Property, plant, and equipment

Property, plant, and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation for financial reporting purposes is provided principally on the straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets (land improvements—20 to 35 years; buildings—20 to 50 years; and machinery and equipment—3 to 20 years). Gains and losses are reflected in other expense, net on the Consolidated Statements of Income upon the sale or retirement of assets. Expenditures that extend the useful lives of property, plant, and equipment are capitalized and depreciated over the estimated new remaining life of the asset. Leasehold improvements are recorded at cost and depreciated over the standard life of the type of asset or the remaining life of the lease, whichever is shorter.

Capitalized software costs

Other assets include the capitalized cost of internal use software, including internet web sites, and software sold as part of a product. The assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and were $13.9 million and $15.7 million at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. These software costs include the amount paid for purchases of software and internal and external costs incurred during the application development stage of software projects. These costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. For internal use software, the useful lives range from three to ten years. For Internet web site costs, the estimated useful lives do not exceed three years. Capitalized software amortization expense was $3.8 million, $3.6 million, and $2.4 million for 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Goodwill

The Company tests goodwill for impairment annually during the fourth quarter and whenever events occur or changes in circumstances indicate that impairment may have occurred. Impairment testing is performed for each of the Company's reporting units by first assessing qualitative factors to see if further testing of goodwill is required. If the Company concludes that it is more likely than not that a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying amount based on the qualitative assessment, then a quantitative test is required. The Company may also choose to bypass the qualitative assessment and perform the quantitative test. In performing the

quantitative test, the Company determines the fair value of a reporting unit using the “income approach” valuation method. The Company uses a discounted cash flow model in which cash flows anticipated over several periods, plus a terminal value at the end of that time horizon, are discounted to their present value using an appropriate cost of capital rate. Judgment is required in developing the assumptions for the discounted cash flow model. These assumptions include revenue growth rates, profit margin percentages, discount rates, perpetuity growth rates, future capital expenditures, and working capital requirements, among others. If the estimated fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, the Company considers that goodwill is not impaired. If the carrying value exceeds estimated fair value, there is an indication of impairment, and an impairment loss would be recorded. The Company calculates the impairment loss by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit less its carrying amount, including goodwill, and would be limited to the carrying value of the goodwill.

The Company completed its annual goodwill impairment test as of October 31, 2019 using a quantitative assessment approach. As a result of this assessment the Company noted that the fair value of each reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, and therefore it determined that none of its goodwill was impaired.

Acquired intangible assets

Intangible assets with finite useful lives are subject to amortization on a straight-line basis over the expected period of economic benefit, which range from less than 1 year to 21 years. The Company evaluates whether events or circumstances have occurred that warrant a revision to the remaining useful lives of intangible assets. In cases where a revision is deemed appropriate, the remaining carrying amounts of the intangible assets are amortized over the revised remaining useful life.

The carrying values of intangible assets with indefinite lives are reviewed for recoverability on an annual basis, and whenever events occur or changes in circumstances indicate that impairment may have occurred. The facts and circumstances considered include an assessment of the recoverability of the cost of intangible assets from future cash flows to be derived from the use of the asset. It is not possible to predict the likelihood of any possible future impairments or, if such an impairment were to occur, the magnitude of any impairment. However, any potential impairment would be limited to the carrying value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset.

The annual evaluation for impairment of these indefinite-lived intangible assets performed as of October 31, 2019 did not result in any impairment.

Impairment of long-lived assets

Long-lived assets other than goodwill and acquired indefinite-lived intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the long-lived asset may not be recoverable. The carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. If it is determined that an impairment loss has occurred, the loss is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the long-lived asset exceeds its fair value.

Revenue recognition

The following is the revenue recognition policy beginning January 1, 2018, upon adoption of ASC 606, Revenue from contracts with customers:

Revenue is measured based on consideration specified in a contract with a customer, and excludes any sales incentives and amounts collected on behalf of third parties when the Company is acting in an agent capacity. The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control of a product or service to a customer.

Performance Obligations & Contract Estimates

A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation based on its respective stand-alone selling price and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. A large portion of revenue across the Company is derived from manufactured equipment, which may be customized to meet customer specifications.

The Company's contracts with customers in both segments often include multiple promised goods and/or services. For instance, a contract may include equipment, installation, optional warranties, periodic service calls, etc. The Company frequently has contracts for which the equipment and installation are considered a single performance obligation. In these instances the installation services are not separately identifiable as the installation goes above and beyond the basic assembly, set-up and testing and therefore significantly customizes or modifies the equipment. However, the Company also has contracts where the installation services are deemed to be separately identifiable as the nature of these services are considered basic assembly, set-up and testing, and are therefore deemed to be

a separate performance obligation. This generally occurs in contracts where the Company manufactures standard equipment.

When a performance obligation is separately identifiable, as defined in ASC 606, the Company allocates a portion of the contract price to the obligation and recognizes it separately from the other performance obligations. Contract price allocation among multiple performance obligations is based on the relative standalone selling price of each distinct good or service in the contract. When not sold separately, an estimate of the standalone selling price is determined using expected cost plus a reasonable margin.

The timing of revenue recognition for each performance obligation is either over time as control transfers or at a point in time. The Company recognizes revenue over time for contracts that provide service over a period of time, for refurbishments of customer-owned equipment, and for highly customized equipment for which the Company has a contractual, enforceable right to collect payment upon customer cancellation for performance completed to date. Revenue generated from standard equipment, highly customized equipment contracts without an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date, as well as aftermarket parts and services sales, are recognized at a point in time.

The Company utilizes the input method of “cost-to-cost” to recognize revenue over time. The Company measures progress based on costs incurred to date relative to total estimated cost at completion. Incurred cost represents work performed, which corresponds with, and therefore depicts, the transfer of control to the customer. Contract costs include labor, material, and certain allocated overhead expense. Material costs are considered incurred, and therefore included in the cost-to-cost measure of progress, when they are used in manufacturing and therefore customize the asset. Cost estimates are based on various assumptions to project the outcome of future events; including labor productivity and availability, the complexity of the work to be performed, the cost of materials, and the performance of subcontractors. During the year, we recognized $648 million in revenue for over time projects using the cost-to-cost method.

Revenue attributable to equipment which qualifies as point in time is recognized when customers take control of the asset. For equipment where installation is separately identifiable, the Company generally determines that control transfers when the customer has obtained legal title and the risks and rewards of ownership, which is dependent upon the shipping terms within the contract. For customized equipment where installation is not separately identifiable, but where the Company does not have an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to-date, it defines control transfer as the point in time in which it is able to objectively verify that the customer has the capability of full use of the asset as intended per the contract as this is when the risks and rewards of ownership transfer to the customer. Service revenue is recognized over time either proportionately over the period of the underlying contract or when services are complete, depending on the terms of the arrangement.

Any expected losses for a contract are charged to earnings, in total, in the period such losses are identified.

The Company generally bills customers in advance, and progress billings generally are issued upon the completion of certain phases of the work as stipulated in the contract. The Company may extend credit to customers in line with industry standards where it is strategically advantageous.

Within the JBT AeroTech segment, maintenance and repair service for baggage handling systems, facilities, gate systems, and ground support equipment is provided. The timing of contract billings is concurrent with the completion of the services, and therefore the Company has availed itself of the practical expedient that allows it to recognize revenue commensurate with the amount to which it has a right to invoice, which corresponds directly to the value to the customer of performance completed to date.

The following discussion focuses on the revenue recognition methodology in place as of December 31, 2017 and prior.

For most of our products we recognize revenue when the following criteria are met: we have an agreement with the customer, the product has been delivered to the customer, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured.

Each customer arrangement is evaluated to determine the presence of multiple deliverables. For multiple-element revenue arrangements, such as the sale of equipment with a service agreement, we allocate the contract value to the various elements based on relative selling price for each element and recognize revenue consistent with the nature of each deliverable.

Our standard agreements generally do not include customer acceptance provisions. However, if there is a customer-specific acceptance provision, the associated revenue is deferred until we have satisfied the acceptance provision.

Certain of our product sales are generated from construction-type contracts and revenue is recognized under the percentage of completion method. Under this method, revenue is recognized as work progresses on each contract. However, revenue recognition does not begin until a substantial portion of the labor hours are incurred to ensure that revenue is not recognized based solely upon materials procurement. Depending upon the product, we measure progress using an input method, such as costs incurred, or an output

method, such as units completed or milestones achieved. Any expected losses are charged to earnings, in total, in the period the losses are identified.

Service revenue is recognized either when performance is complete or proportionately over the period of the underlying contract, depending on the terms of the arrangement.

Some of our operating lease revenue is earned from full-service leases for which we are paid annual fixed rates plus, in some cases, an additional amount based on production volumes. Revenue from production volumes is recognized when determinable and collectible.

Research and development

The objectives of the research and development programs are to create new products and business opportunities in relevant fields, and to improve existing products. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development expense of $28.5 million, $26.9 million, and $28.7 million for 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively, is recorded in selling, general and administrative expense.

Income taxes

Income taxes are provided on income reported for financial statement purposes, adjusted for permanent differences between financial statement reporting and income tax regulations. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates, and reflect the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is established whenever management believes that it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets may not be realizable.

A liability for uncertain tax positions is recorded whenever management believes it is not likely that the position will be sustained on examination based solely on its technical merits. Interest and penalties related to underpayment of income taxes are classified as income tax expense.

Income taxes are not provided on undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries or affiliates when it is management’s intention that such earnings will remain invested in those companies. Taxes are provided on such earnings in the year in which the decision is made to repatriate the earnings.

Stock-based employee compensation

The Company measures compensation cost on restricted stock awards based on the market price of common stock at the grant date and the number of shares awarded. The compensation cost for each award is recognized ratably over the lesser of the stated vesting period or the period until the employee becomes retirement eligible, after taking into account forfeitures.

Foreign currency

Financial statements of operations for which the U.S. dollar is not the functional currency are translated to the U.S. dollar prior to consolidation. Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date, while income statement accounts are translated at the average exchange rate for each period. For these operations, translation gains and losses are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in stockholders’ equity until the foreign entity is sold or liquidated.

Derivative financial instruments

Derivatives are recognized in the consolidated balance sheets at fair value, with classification as current or non-current based upon the maturity of the derivative instrument. The Company does not offset fair value amounts for derivative instruments held with the same counterparty. Changes in the fair value of derivative instruments are recorded in current earnings or deferred in accumulated other comprehensive loss, depending on the type of hedging transaction and whether a derivative is designated as, and is effective as, a hedge.

In the Consolidated Statements of Income, earnings from foreign currency derivatives related to sales and remeasurement of sales-related assets, liabilities and contracts are recorded in revenue, while earnings from foreign currency derivatives related to purchases and remeasurement of purchase-related assets, liabilities and contracts are recorded in cost of products. Earnings from foreign currency derivatives related to cash management of foreign currencies throughout the world and remeasurement of cash are recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses.

When hedge accounting is applied, the Company ensures that the derivative is highly effective at offsetting changes in anticipated cash flows of the hedged item or transaction. Changes in fair value of derivatives that are designated as cash flow hedges are deferred in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) until the underlying transactions are recognized in earnings. At such time, related deferred hedging gains or losses are also recorded in earnings on the same line as the hedged item. Effectiveness is assessed at the inception of the hedge. The Company documents risk management strategy and method for assessing hedge effectiveness at the inception of and throughout the term of each hedge.

The Company's cross-currency swap agreements synthetically swap U.S. dollar denominated fixed rate debt for Euro denominated fixed rate debt and are designated as net investment hedges for accounting purposes. The gains or losses on these derivative instruments are included in the foreign currency translation component of other comprehensive income until the net investment is sold, diluted, or liquidated. Interest payments received for the cross currency swaps are excluded from the net investment hedge effectiveness assessment and are recorded in interest expense, net on the Consolidated Statements of Income.

For derivatives with components excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness, the accumulated gains or losses recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income on such excluded components in a qualifying cash flow or net investment hedging relationship are reclassified to earnings on a systematic and rational basis over the hedge term.

Cash flows from derivative contracts are reported in the consolidated statements of cash flows in the same categories as the cash flows from the underlying transactions.

Leases

Lessee accounting

The Company adopted ASC 842 on January 1, 2019 and included below is the accounting policy for lessee accounting.

The Company leases office space, manufacturing facilities and various types of manufacturing and data processing equipment. Leases of real estate generally provide that the Company pays for repairs, property taxes and insurance. At the inception of an arrangement, the Company determines whether the arrangement is or contains a lease based on whether the contract conveys the right to control the use of identified property, plant or equipment for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Leases are classified as operating or finance leases at the commencement date of the lease. Operating leases are included in operating lease ROU assets, other current liabilities, and operating lease liabilities in the consolidated Balance Sheet, which are reported within other assets, other current liabilities and other liabilities, respectively. Lease liabilities are classified between current and long-term liabilities based on their payment terms. The ROU asset balance for finance leases is included in property, plant, and equipment, net in the Balance Sheet. In accordance with the standard, the Company has elected not to recognize leases with terms of less than one year on the Balance Sheet.

ROU assets represent the Company's right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent an obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As the implicit rate is generally not readily determinable for most of its leases, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. We determined the incremental borrowing rate for all leases, based on the rate of interest that the Company would have to pay to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments on a collateralized basis over a similar term. The Company used an unsecured borrowing rate and risk-adjusted that rate to approximate a collateralized rate. The operating lease ROU asset also includes prepaid rent and reflects the unamortized balance of lease incentives. Lease expense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Company elected the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components for leases other than leases of vehicles and communication equipment. For the asset categories of real estate, manufacturing, office and IT equipment, the Company accounts for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component.

The Company's leases may include renewal and termination options, which are included in the lease term if the Company concludes that it is reasonably certain that it will exercise the option. Some leases give the option to renew, with renewal terms that may extend the lease term. The exercise of lease renewal options is at the Company's sole discretion. Certain leases also include options to purchase the leased property. The depreciable life of the ROU assets are limited by the expected lease term, unless there is a transfer of title or purchase option reasonably certain of exercise. Our lease agreements may contain variable costs such as common area maintenance, insurance, real estate taxes or other costs. Variable lease costs are expensed as incurred on the Consolidated Statements of Income.

The Company's lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees.

Lessor accounting

The Company primarily leases certain JBT FoodTech equipment, such as high capacity industrial extractors, to customers.

In most instances, the Company includes maintenance as a component of the lease agreement. ASC 842 requires lessors to separate lease and non-lease components and further defines maintenance as a non-lease component. The Company elected to exercise the available practical expedient of combining lease and non-lease components where the components meet both of the following criteria:


•	The timing and pattern of transfer to the lessee of the lease and non-lease component are the same, and


•	The lease component, if accounted for separately, would be classified as an operating lease.

As such, the leased asset and its respective maintenance component will not be accounted for separately.

In certain leases, consumables are included as a non-lease component. For these leases, the components do not qualify for the practical expedient as the timing and pattern of transfer to the lessee are not the same. In these instances, the non-lease component will be accounted for in accordance with ASC 606.

The Company monitors the risk associated with residual value of its leased assets. It reviews on an annual basis or more often as deemed necessary, and adjusted residual values and useful lives of equipment leased to outside parties, as appropriate. Adjustments to residual values result in an adjustment to depreciation expense. The Company's annual review is based on a long-term view considering historical market price changes, market price trends, and expected life of the equipment.

Lease agreements with the Company's customers do not contain any material residual value guarantees. Certain lease agreements include terms and conditions resulting in variable lease payments. These payments typically rely upon the usage of the underlying asset.

Certain lease agreements provide renewal options, including some leases with an evergreen renewal option. The exercise of the lease renewal option is at the sole discretion of the lessee. In most instances, the lease can only be terminated in cases of breach of contract. In these instances, termination fees do not apply. Certain lease agreements also allow the lessee to purchase the leased asset at fair market value or a specific agreed upon price. The exercise of the lease purchase option is at the sole discretion of the lessee.

Reclassifications

Within the our Consolidated Statements of Income, the Company has condensed research and development expense and other operating expense, net with selling, general and administrative expense for the prior years to conform to current year presentation. In addition, the Company has reclassified pension expense other than service cost for prior years to conform to current year presentation.

Within the Consolidated Statements of Changes in Stockholders' Equity, the Company has condensed dividends on stock-based payment arrangements into common stock cash dividends for the prior years to conform to the current year presentation.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

Beginning in February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases ("ASC 842"), plus a number of related statements designed to clarify and interpret ASC 842. The core principle of the ASU is the requirement for lessees to report a right of use asset ("ROU asset") and a lease payment obligation on the Balance Sheet, but recognize expenses on their Income Statement in a manner similar to legacy accounting. For lessors, the guidance remains substantially unchanged from legacy U.S. GAAP. The Company designed disclosures to meet the objective of enabling users of financial statements to assess the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases.

The Company adopted ASC 842 as of January 1, 2019, using the cumulative-effect transition method with the required modified retrospective approach. The cumulative-effect transition method enables an entity to record existing leases at the date of adoption without restating comparative periods; rather the cumulative effect of the change is recorded as an adjustment to equity, if needed, at the beginning of the year of adoption.

The Company elected the following practical expedients as permitted per the guidance:


•	The ‘package of practical expedients’ which permits the Company not to reassess under the new standard its prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. The Company has elected this package of practical expedients in its entirety.


•	The short-term lease recognition exemption for all leases that qualify. This means, for those leases that qualify, the Company will not recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities for existing short-term leases of assets.


•	The practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components for all of its leases other than leases of vehicles and communication equipment given the predominance of the service component for these leases.


•	The use of hindsight to determine the lease term for existing leases and assessing the likelihood that a lessee renewal, termination or purchase option will be exercised.

The adoption of ASC 842 resulted in recording ROU assets of $32.3 million in other assets and lease liabilities of $10.8 million in other current liabilities and $23.3 million in other liabilities, as of January 1, 2019. The difference between the ROU assets and lease liabilities is driven primarily by lease incentives that were reclassified from a long-term liability account to the ROU asset balance. The income tax accounting impact of ASC 842 adoption resulted in recording a deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability of $8.8 million as of January 1, 2019. The standard did not materially impact retained earnings or consolidated net income, and had no impact on cash flows.

Beginning in 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASC 606"), plus a number of related ASU’s designed to clarify and interpret ASC 606. The new standard replaced most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP. The core principle of the ASU requires revenue recognition based upon newly defined criteria, either at a point in time or over time as control of goods or services is transferred. The ASU requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and estimates, and changes in those estimates. The new standard became effective as of January 1, 2018 and was adopted on a modified-retrospective basis.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (Topic 326), which amends the Board’s guidance on the impairment of financial instruments. The ASU adds an impairment model that is based on expected losses rather than incurred losses, which is known as the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model. The CECL model applies to most debt instruments (other than those measured at fair value), trade and other receivables, financial guarantee contracts, and loan commitments. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the effect of adopting this new accounting guidance that will be adopted on a prospective basis.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, which amends Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement. ASU 2018-13 modifies the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements by removing, modifying, or adding certain disclosures. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The removed and modified disclosures will be adopted on a retrospective basis and the new disclosures will be adopted on a prospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2018-13 on its disclosures.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, Compensation-Retirement Benefits-Defined Benefit Plans-General (Subtopic 715-20): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans. ASU 2018-14 modifies disclosure requirements for defined benefit plans by removing, modifying, or adding certain disclosures. The amendments in ASU 2018-14 will need to be applied on a retrospective basis. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods ending after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2018-14 on its disclosures.

NOTE 2. ACQUISITIONS

During 2019 and 2018, the Company acquired 100% voting equity of five businesses for an aggregate consideration of $440.4 million, net of cash acquired. A summary of the acquisitions made during the period is as follows:



Date	Type	Company/Product Line	Location	Segment

May 31, 2019	Stock	Proseal UK Limited	Adlington, UK	JBT FoodTech

A leading provider of tray sealing technology for the fresh produce, ready meals, proteins, sandwiches, and snack industries.

May 31, 2019	Stock	Prime Equipment Group, LLC	Columbus, Ohio	JBT FoodTech

A manufacturer of turnkey primary and water re–use solutions to the poultry industry.

February 1, 2019	Stock	LEKTRO, Inc.	Warrenton, Oregon	JBT AeroTech

A manufacturer of commercial aviation ground support equipment, including electric towbarless aircraft pushback tractors for narrow body and smaller aircrafts.

July 12, 2018	Stock	FTNON	Almelo, Netherlands	JBT FoodTech

A manufacturer of equipment and solutions for the fresh produce, ready meals, and pet food industries.

January 26, 2018	Stock	Schröder	Breidenbach, Germany	JBT FoodTech

A manufacturer of engineered processing solutions to the food industry.

Each acquisition has been accounted for as a business combination. Tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at their respective estimated fair values. The excess of the consideration transferred over the estimated fair value of the net assets received has been recorded as goodwill. The factors that contributed to the recognition of goodwill primarily relate to acquisition-driven anticipated cost savings and revenue enhancement synergies coupled with the assembled workforce acquired.

Purchase price allocation for 2019 acquisitions

The following tables present the purchase price allocation of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed based on their estimated values for acquisitions that are considered provisional as of December 31, 2019:

Goodwill	$	140.8		$	8.0		$	148.8

During the quarter ended December 31, 2019, the Company refined estimates for deferred taxes by $(3.6) million, property, plant, and equipment by $(2.5) million, inventory by $(1.4) million, other intangibles by $1.0 million and other working capital balances by immaterial amounts. The impact of all adjustments in the quarter was reflected as a net increase in goodwill of $5.8 million. These adjustments resulted in an immaterial impact to the consolidated statement of income. As of December 31, 2019, the valuation of inventory, customer contract related accruals, intangibles, income tax balances and residual goodwill is not complete. These amounts are subject to adjustment as additional information is obtained within the measurement period (not to exceed 12 months from the acquisition date).

The Proseal purchase agreement includes a contingent payment due to the sellers to the extent Proseal achieves certain earnings targets. Proseal earnings performance for the period from January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020 would result in a payment of $17.7 million in the event earnout targets are met, and no payment if not met. Acquisition date fair value of these contingent payments was determined to be $14.7 million for Proseal. Refer to Note 15. Fair Value Of Financial Instruments for a description of how these values for contingent consideration obligations were determined.

During the quarter ended December 31, 2019, the Company refined estimates for working capital balances by $1.1 million. In addition we decreased the cash consideration paid by $(2.0) million during the quarter ended December 31, 2019, reflecting a working capital adjustment required by the purchase agreement. The impact of these adjustments was reflected as a net increase in goodwill of $3.1 million, and they resulted in an immaterial impact to the consolidated statement of income. As of December 31, 2019, the valuation of inventory, customer contract related accruals, property, plant and equipment, intangibles, income tax balances and residual goodwill is not complete. These amounts are subject to adjustment as additional information is obtained within the measurement period (not to exceed 12 months from the acquisition date).

The Prime purchase agreement include contingent payments due to the sellers to the extent the Prime results exceed certain earnings targets. These payments are based on the achievement of earnings target ranges for the respective year, and would result in a payment ranging from $0 million to $1 million for the earnout period of calendar year 2019, and an additional payment of $0 million to $0.5 million for the earnout period of calendar year 2020. Acquisition date fair value of these contingent payments was determined at $1.3 million for Prime. Refer to Note 15. Fair Value Of Financial Instruments for a description of how these values for contingent consideration obligations were determined.

Additional disclosures regarding 2019 and 2018 acquisitions

The acquired intangible assets subject to amortization are being amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, which range from seven to twenty-one years. The intangible assets acquired in 2019 include customer relationships totaling $87.0 million (14 - year weighted average useful life), technology totaling $37.6 million (9 - year weighted average useful life), and tradenames totaling $14.7 million (20 - year weighted average useful life).

The Company expects goodwill of $61.4 million from these acquisitions to be deductible for income tax purposes.

During the year ended December 31, 2019, Proseal generated revenue of $60.8 million and net income of $4.3 million and remaining acquisitions in 2019 generated aggregate revenues of $58.5 million and aggregate net income of $3.6 million.

Pro forma financial information (unaudited)

In 2019, the Company's acquisition of Proseal was material to its overall results and as such pro forma information is required under ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations. The following information reflects the results of the Company’s consolidated operations for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 on a pro forma basis as if the acquisition of Proseal had been completed on January 1, 2018 instead of May 31, 2019. Pro forma adjustments have been made to illustrate the incremental impact on earnings of interest costs on the borrowings to acquire the company, amortization expense related to acquired intangible assets, depreciation expense related to the fair value of the acquired depreciable tangible assets, amortization of inventory step-up and the related tax impact associated with the incremental interest costs and amortization and depreciation expense. The following unaudited pro forma information includes $5.8 million of additional expense related to the fair value adjustment of inventories.

NOTE 6. DEBT

Five-year Revolving Credit Facility

On June 19, 2018, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, and the other lenders party thereto. The Credit Agreement provides for a $1 billion revolving credit facility that matures in June 2023. The borrowings under the Credit Agreement were used to repay in full all outstanding indebtedness under the previous credit agreement. Revolving loans under the credit facility bear interest, at the Company's option, at LIBOR (subject to a floor rate of zero) or an alternative base rate (which is the greater of Wells Fargo’s Prime Rate, the Federal Funds Rate plus 50 basis points, or LIBOR plus 1%) plus, in each case, a margin dependent on the leverage ratio.

The Company is required to make periodic interest payments on borrowed amounts and to pay an annual commitment fee of 15.0 to 35.0 basis points, depending on its leverage ratio. As of December 31, 2019 the Company had $700.9 million drawn on and $288.9 million of availability under the revolving credit facility. The ability to use this availability is limited by the leverage ratio covenant described below.

The obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by the Company’s domestic and certain foreign subsidiaries and subsequently formed or acquired subsidiaries (the “Guarantors”). The obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by a first-priority security interest in substantially all of the Guarantor’s tangible and intangible personal property and a pledge of the capital stock of permitted borrowers and certain Guarantors.

The Company's credit facility includes restrictive covenants that, if not met, could lead to renegotiation of its credit facility, a requirement to repay its borrowings, and/or a significant increase in its cost of financing. Restrictive covenants include a minimum interest coverage ratio, a maximum leverage ratio, as well as certain events of default.

Long term debt as of December 31, consisted of the following:



(In millions)	Weighted-Average Interest Rate at December 31, 2019		Maturity Date	2019			2018
Revolving credit facility	2.9	%	June 19, 2023	$	700.9		$	390.5
Less: unamortized debt issuance costs				$	(2.6	)	$	(3.4	)

Included in deferred tax assets are tax benefits related to net operating loss carryforwards attributable to foreign and domestic operations. At December 31, 2019, the Company had $7.5 million of net operating losses that are available to offset future taxable income in several foreign jurisdictions indefinitely, and $24.1 million of net operating losses that are available to offset future taxable income through 2026. Of the $24.1 million approximately $21.7 million of net operating losses in Switzerland are subject to a full valuation allowance. During 2019, the Company utilized $4.3 million of net operating losses relating to prior years in the filing of the Company's 2018 corporate income tax returns.

Also included in deferred tax assets at December 31, 2019 are $2.7 million of U.S. state research and development credit carryforwards, which will expire beginning in 2023, if unused.

The effective income tax rate was different from the statutory U.S. federal income tax rate due to the following:



	2019		2018		2017
Statutory U.S. federal tax rate	21	%	21	%	35	%
Net difference resulting from:
Research and development tax credit	(4	)	(5	)	(4	)

Other	—		—		(1	)
Total difference	2	%	(2	)%	3	%
Effective income tax rate	23	%	19	%	38	%

The Company does not provide for deferred taxes and foreign withholding taxes on the unremitted previously taxed earnings of approximately $233.5 million as of December 31, 2018, unremitted pre-1987 earnings of approximately $23.3 million or unremitted current year earnings of approximately $30.2 million of certain international subsidiaries as of December 31, 2019 as these earnings are considered permanently reinvested under ASC 740-30-25-17. In accordance with ASC 740-30-25-17, management has determined that certain foreign subsidiaries may make distributions out of current-year GAAP earnings of $22.1 million A distribution from current-year GAAP earnings does not invalidate the indefinite reinvestment assertion of undistributed earnings existing as of the end of its prior fiscal year. The Company has determined that certain foreign subsidiaries may declare and make a distribution out of previously taxed earnings. The Company has provided the associated material tax impact in connection with such repatriations. Undistributed earnings from these foreign subsidiaries are deemed permanently reinvested on a prospective basis to maintain foreign business operations and for working capital needs, capital expenditures, and business acquisitions that arise in these foreign jurisdictions.

While the Company's earnings are deemed permanently reinvested, in the event that additional foreign funds are needed in the U.S., the Company has the ability to repatriate additional funds out of previously taxed earnings. The repatriation could result in an adjustment to the tax liability for foreign withholding taxes, foreign or U.S. state income taxes, and the impact of foreign currency movements. As such, it is not practicable to calculate the unrecognized deferred tax liability on undistributed foreign earnings.

The following tax years remain subject to examination in the following significant jurisdictions:



Belgium	2015-2019
Brazil	2015-2019
Italy	2015-2019
Netherlands	2015-2019
Sweden	2015-2019
United Kingdom	2019
United States	2017-2019

NOTE 8. PENSION AND POST-RETIREMENT AND OTHER BENEFIT PLANS

The Company sponsors qualified and nonqualified defined benefit pension plans that together cover many of its U.S. employees. The plans provide defined benefits based on years of service and final average salary. The Company also sponsors a noncontributory plan that provides post-retirement life insurance benefits ("OPEB") to some of its U.S. employees. Non-U.S. based employees are eligible to participate in either Company-sponsored or government-sponsored benefit plans to which the Company contributes. The Company also sponsors separate defined contribution plans that cover substantially all of its U.S. employees and some non-U.S. employees.

The funded status of is pension plans, together with the associated balances recognized in its consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, were as follows:



(In millions)	2019			2018
Projected benefit obligation at January 1	$	314.1		$	344.9
Service cost	2.1			1.9
Interest cost	11.5			10.7
Actuarial (gain) loss	45.8			(23.1		)
Plan participants' contributions	0.2			0.2
Benefits paid	(16.0		)	(17.4		)

Projected benefit obligation at December 31	$	356.3		$	314.1
Fair value of plan assets at January 1	$	243.4		$	261.5

Plan participants' contributions	0.2			0.2
Benefits paid	(16.0		)	(17.4		)
Currency translation adjustments	(0.3		)	(0.6		)
Fair value of plan assets at December 31	$	281.3		$	243.4
Funded status of the plans (liability) at December 31	$	(75.0	)	$	(70.7	)
Amounts recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at December 31
Other current liabilities	(3.7		)	(1.4		)
Accrued pension and other post-retirement benefits, less current portion	(71.3		)	(69.3		)
Net amount recognized	$	(75.0	)	$	(70.7	)

The liability associated with the OPEB plan included in the consolidated financial statements was $(2.8) million and $(3.2) million as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Amounts recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss at December 31, 2019 and 2018 were $196.4 million and $187.8 million, respectively for pensions and $(0.2) million and $0.1 million for the OPEB plan, respectively. These amounts were primarily unrecognized actuarial gains and losses.

The accumulated benefit obligation for all pension plans was $347.2 million and $305.5 million at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. All pension plans had accumulated benefit obligations in excess of plan assets as of December 31, 2019.

Pension costs (income) for the years ended December 31, were as follows:



(In millions)	2019			2018			2017
Service cost	$	2.1		$	1.9		$	1.7
Interest cost	11.5			10.7			10.7
Expected return on plan assets	(15.2		)	(16.9		)	(17.1		)
Amortization of net actuarial loss	6.0			6.3			4.3
Settlement loss recognized	—			0.7			—
Total (income) costs	$	4.4		$	2.7		$	(0.4	)

OPEB plan costs (income) were not material for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018, and 2017.

Pre-tax changes in projected benefit obligations and plan assets recognized in other comprehensive income during 2019 for the OPEB plan were $(0.4) million and for the pension plans were as follows:



(In millions)	Pensions
Actuarial (gain) loss	$	14.8
Amortization of net actuarial loss	(6.0		)
Net loss recognized in other comprehensive income	$	8.8
Total recognized in net periodic benefit cost and other comprehensive income	$	13.2

The Company uses a corridor approach to recognize actuarial gains and losses that result from changes in actuarial assumptions. The corridor approach defers all actuarial gains and losses resulting from changes in assumptions in other accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), such as those related to changes in the discount rate and differences between actual and expected returns on plan assets. These unrecognized gains and losses are amortized when the net gains and losses exceed 10% of the higher of the market-related value of the assets or the projected benefit obligation for each respective plan. The amortization is on a straight-line basis over the life expectancy of the plan’s participants for the frozen plans and the expected remaining service periods for the other plans. The Company expects to amortize $8.0 million of net actuarial loss from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) into net periodic benefit cost in 2020.

Beginning in 2010, the U.S. defined benefit plans were frozen to new entrants and future benefit accruals for non-union participants were discontinued.

The following weighted-average assumptions were used to determine the benefit obligations for the pension plans:



	2019		2018		2017
Discount rate	2.98	%	4.05	%	3.48	%
Rate of compensation increase	3.09	%	3.07	%	3.10	%

The following weighted-average assumptions were used to determine net periodic benefit cost for the pension plans:



	2019		2018		2017
Discount rate	4.06	%	3.47	%	3.98	%
Rate of compensation increase	3.09	%	3.07	%	3.10	%
Expected rate of return on plan assets	5.63	%	6.33	%	6.58	%

The estimate of the expected rate of return on plan assets is based primarily on the historical performance of plan assets, asset allocation, current market conditions and long-term growth expectations.

Plan assets

The Company's pension investment strategy balances the requirements to generate returns using higher-returning assets, such as equity securities, with the need to control risk in the pension plan with less volatile assets, such as fixed-income securities. Risks include, among others, the likelihood of the pension plans being underfunded, thereby increasing their dependence on Company contributions. The assets are managed by professional investment firms and performance is evaluated against specific benchmarks.

Target asset allocations and actual allocations as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 were as follows:



	Target	2019	2018
Equity	10% - 40%	33%	53%
Fixed income	40% - 70%	57%	29%
Real estate and other	0% - 15%	8%	17%
Cash	0% - 10%	2%	1%
		100%	100%

The fair value of assets classified as Level 1 is based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. The fair value of assets classified as Level 2 is based on quoted prices for similar assets or based on valuations made using inputs that are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date. Such inputs include net asset values reported at a minimum on a monthly basis by investment funds or contract values provided by the issuing insurance company. The Company is able to sell any of its investment funds with notice of no more than 30 days. For more information on the fair value hierarchy, see Note 15. Fair Value of Financial Instruments.

Contributions

The Company expects to contribute $12.5 million to its pension and other post-retirement benefit plans in 2020. The pension contributions will be primarily for the U.S. qualified pension plan. All of the contributions are expected to be in the form of cash.

Estimated future benefit payments

The following table summarizes expected benefit payments from various pension benefit plans through 2028. Actual benefit payments may differ from expected benefit payments.



(In millions)	Pensions
2020	$	16.6
2021	18.8

Savings Plans

U.S. and some international employees participate in defined contribution savings plans that the Company sponsors. These plans generally provide company matching contributions on participants’ voluntary contributions and/or company non-elective contributions. Additionally, certain highly compensated employees participate in a non-qualified deferred compensation plan, which also allows for company matching contributions and company non-elective contributions on compensation in excess of the Internal Revenue Code Section 401(a) (17) limit. The expense for matching contributions was $12.9 million, $13.2 million, and $13.5 million in 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

NOTE 9. ACCUMULATED OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS)

Accumulated other comprehensive income or loss (“AOCI”) represents the cumulative balance of other comprehensive income, net of tax, as of the Balance Sheet date. For the Company, AOCI is composed of adjustments related to pension and other post-retirement benefits plans, derivatives designated as hedges, and foreign currency translation adjustments. Changes in the AOCI balances for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 by component are shown in the following table:



	Pension and Other Post-retirement Benefits⁽¹⁾			Derivatives Designated as Hedges⁽¹⁾			Foreign Currency Translation⁽¹⁾			Total⁽¹⁾
(In millions)
Balance as of January 1, 2018	$	(113.9	)	$	1.4		$	(27.8	)	$	(140.3	)
Other comprehensive income (loss) before reclassification	(8.9		)	0.7			(19.3		)	(27.5		)
Amounts reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income	4.5			(0.2		)	(1.0		)	3.3
Other comprehensive income (loss) tax reclassification	(22.1		)	0.1			—			(22.0		)
Balance as of December 31, 2018	(140.4		)	2.0			(48.1		)	(186.5		)
Other comprehensive income (loss) before reclassification	(10.8		)	(0.7		)	4.3			(7.2		)
Amounts reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income	4.2			(1.2		)	(2.1		)	0.9
Balance as of December 31, 2019	$	(147.0	)	$	0.1		$	(45.9	)	$	(192.8	)

(1) All amounts are net of income taxes.

Reclassification adjustments from AOCI into earnings for pension and other post-retirement benefits plans for the year ended December 31, 2019 were $6.0 million of charges to pension expense (income), other than service cost, net of $1.8 million in provision for income taxes. Reclassification adjustments for derivatives designated as hedges for the year ended December 31, 2019 were $1.6 million of benefit in interest expense, net of $0.4 million in provision for income taxes. Reclassification adjustments for foreign currency translation related to net investment hedges for the year ended December 31, 2019 were $2.9 million of benefit in interest expense, net of $0.8 million in provision for income taxes.

Reclassification adjustments from AOCI into earnings for pension and other post-retirement benefits plans for the year ended December 31, 2018 were $6.2 million of charges to pension expense (income), other than service cost, net of $1.7 million in provision for income taxes. Reclassification adjustments for derivatives designated as hedges for the year ended December 31, 2018 were $0.3 million of benefit in interest expense, net of $0.1 million in provision for income taxes. Reclassification adjustments for foreign currency translation related to net investment hedges for the year ended December 31, 2018 were $1.3 million of benefit in interest expense, net of $0.3 million in provision for income taxes.

During the quarter ended December 31, 2018, a reclassification of $22 million was made from AOCI into retained earnings in order to reflect the adjustment of deferred taxes due to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act enacted in December 2017 in accordance with ASU 2018-02.

NOTE 10. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense and related income tax effects for the years ended December 31, as follows:



(In millions)	2019		2018		2017
Stock-based compensation expense	$	9.4	$	9.7	$	9.0
Tax benefit recorded in consolidated statements of income	$	4.6	$	7.3	$	9.9

As of December 31, 2019, there was $12.4 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense for outstanding awards expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.9 years.

Incentive Compensation Plan

The Company sponsors a stock-based compensation plan (the “Incentive Compensation Plan”) that provides certain incentives and awards to its officers, employees, directors and consultants. The Incentive Compensation Plan allows the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors to make various types of awards to eligible individuals. Awards that may be issued include common stock, stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and stock units.

Restricted stock unit awards specify any applicable performance goals, the time and rate of vesting and such other provisions as determined by the Committee. Restricted stock units generally vest after 3 years of service, but may also vest upon a change of control as defined in the Incentive Compensation Plan. The 2017 Incentive Compensation Plan was approved by stockholders in May 2017. The 2017 Incentive Compensation Plan replaced the prior incentive compensation plan (the “2008 Incentive Compensation Plan”), which remains in existence solely for the purpose of governing the terms of awards that had been granted under the 2008 Incentive Compensation Plan prior to May 2017. The aggregate number of shares of common stock that are authorized for issuance under the 2017 Incentive Compensation Plan is (i) 1,000,000 shares, plus (ii) the number of shares of common stock that remained available for issuance under the 2008 Incentive Compensation Plan on the effective date of the 2017 Incentive Compensation Plan, plus (iii) the number of shares of common stock that were subject to outstanding awards under the 2008 Incentive Compensation Plan on the effective date of the 2017 Incentive Compensation Plan that are canceled, forfeited, returned or withheld without the issuance of shares thereunder.

Impact of Retirement on Outstanding Awards

In the event of a named executive officer’s retirement from the Company upon or after attaining age 62 and a specified number of years of service, any nonvested awards remain outstanding after retirement and vest on the originally scheduled vesting date. This permits flexibility in retirement planning, permits the Company to provide an incentive for the vesting period and does not penalize employees who receive awards as incentive compensation when they retire. In 2016, the Committee approved a variation to these terms, permitting the Committee to selectively grant awards that will permit nonvested equity awards outstanding after retirement to vest on their originally scheduled vesting date following a retirement upon or after attaining the age of 62 and 5 years of service. This variation was approved to allow the Company the option to offer long term equity incentive compensation as a means of attracting and retaining personnel hired near their retirement or to incentivize existing employees who are nearing retirement, but who have not been with the Company for a full ten year period.

Restricted Stock Units

A summary of the nonvested restricted stock units as of December 31, 2019 and changes during the year is presented below:



	Shares		Weighted-Average Grant-Date Fair Value
Nonvested at December 31, 2018	627,904		$	51.30
Granted	131,991		$	91.92
Vested	(214,911	)	$	46.68
Forfeited	(21,221	)	$	101.23
Nonvested at December 31, 2019	523,763		$	61.46

The Company grants time-based and performance-based restricted stock units that typically vest after three years, but can vary based on the discretion of the Committee. The fair value of these awards is determined using the market value of common stock on the grant

date. Compensation cost is recognized over the lesser of the stated vesting period or the period until the employee meets the retirement eligible age and service requirements under the plan.

For performance-based restricted stock units awards made in 2019, 2018, and 2017; the number of shares to be issued is dependent upon performance over the three year period ending December 31st of the respective term, with respect to cumulative diluted earnings per share from continuing operations and average operating return on invested capital (ROIC). ROIC is defined as net income plus after tax net interest expense divided by average invested capital, which is an average of total shareholders equity plus debt plus future pension expenses held in AOCI less cash and cash equivalents. Based on results achieved in 2019, 2018, and 2017, and the forecasted amounts over the remainder of the performance period, the Company expects to issue a total of 69,708, 40,411, and 43,320 shares at the vesting dates in April 2022, April 2021 and April 2020, respectively. Compensation cost has been measured in 2019 based on these expectations.

The following summarizes values for restricted stock activity in each of the years in the three year period ended December 31:



	2019		2018		2017
Weighted-average grant-date fair value of restricted stock units granted	$	91.92	$	117.11	$	88.02
Fair value of restricted stock vested (in millions)	$	20.7	$	29.9	$	25.8

NOTE 11. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

The following is a summary of capital stock activity (in shares) for the year ended December 31, 2019:



	Common stock outstanding	Common stock held in treasury
December 31, 2018	31,522,377	219,230
Stock awards issued	144,277	(144,277	)
December 31, 2019	31,666,654	74,953

On August 10, 2018, the Board authorized new share repurchase program of up to $30 million of the Company's common stock, effective January 1, 2019 through December 31, 2021, which replaced the prior share repurchase program. Shares may be purchased from time to time in open market transactions, subject to market conditions. Repurchased shares become treasury shares, which are accounted for using the cost method and are intended to be used for future awards under the Incentive Compensation Plan. In 2019, there were no share repurchases under this program.

On December 2, 2015, the Board authorized a share repurchase program for up to $30 million of common stock beginning January 1, 2016 and continuing through December 31, 2018. Shares could be purchased from time to time in open market transactions, subject to market conditions. Repurchased shares become treasury shares, which are accounted for using the cost method and are used for future awards under the Incentive Compensation Plan. The Company repurchased $20.0 million of common stock in 2018 and $5.0 million of common stock in 2017 under this plan, which has now terminated.

NOTE 12. REVENUE RECOGNITION

Refer to Note 1 for details of the revenue recognition accounting policy.

Disaggregation of Revenue

In the following table, revenue is disaggregated by type of good or service and primary geographical market. The table also includes a reconciliation of the disaggregated revenue with the reportable segments.

(1)	Aftermarket parts and services and revenue from leasing contracts are considered recurring revenue. Non-recurring revenue includes new equipment and installation.


(2)	Geographical region represents the region in which the end customer resides.


(3)	These amounts include the transition impacts from the adoption of ASC 606 that were recognized throughout 2018. The majority of the impact was driven by "previously recognized" amounts where installation was completed in 2018 and revenue on the full contract was recognized, however the same contract was previously recognized under legacy GAAP upon shipment in 2017.

Transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations

The majority of the Company's contracts are completed within twelve months. For performance obligations that extend beyond one year, the Company had $205.7 million of remaining performance obligations as of December 31, 2019. The Company expects to complete these obligations and recognize 82% of the remaining performance obligations in 2020, and the remainder in 2021. The Company has elected the following optional exemptions from the remaining performance obligation disclosures:


•	Contracts that have an original expected duration of one year or less; and


•	Performance obligations related to revenue recognized over time using the as-invoiced practical expedient.

Contract balances

The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in trade receivables, contract assets, and advance and progress payments (contract liabilities). Contract assets exist when revenue recognition occurs prior to billings. Contract assets are transferred to trade receivables when the right to payment becomes unconditional (i.e., when receipt of the amount is dependent only on the passage of time). Conversely, the Company often receives payments from its customers before revenue is recognized, resulting in contract liabilities. These assets and liabilities are reported on the Balance Sheet as contract assets and within advance and progress payments, respectively, on a contract-by-contract net basis at the end of each reporting period.

Contract asset and liability balances for the period were as follows:



	Balances as of
In millions	December 31, 2019		December 31, 2018
Contract Assets	$	74.4	$	70.3
Contract Liabilities	92.5		124.5

In the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company recognized $112.5 million of the amount included in contract liabilities at December 31, 2018 into revenue. Additionally, the Company assumed contract liabilities of $10.1 million from acquisitions in the year 2019. The remainder of the change from December 31, 2018 is driven by the timing of advanced and milestone payments received from customers. There were no significant changes in the contract balances other than those described above.

Impacts on 2018 financial statements from change in revenue recognition rules

The following table summarizes the impacts of change in revenue recognition rules by adopting ASC 606 on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income for the year ended December 31, 2018. This table provides visibility into our financial statement presentation for the year ended December 31, 2018 had we not adopted ASC 606. It does not necessarily reflect values of future earnings or expected balances. The impact of adopting ASC 606 on our balance sheet as of December 31, 2018 was immaterial.

NOTE 14. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND CREDIT RISK

Derivative financial instruments

All derivatives are recorded as other assets or liabilities in the Balance Sheets at their respective fair values. For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the unrealized gain or loss related to the derivatives are recorded in Other comprehensive income (loss) until the transaction affects earnings. The Company assesses both at inception of the hedge and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivative in the hedging transaction has been, and will continue to be, highly effective in offsetting changes in cash flows of the hedged item. Changes in the fair value of derivatives that do not meet the criteria for designation as a hedge are recognized in earnings.

Foreign Exchange: The Company manufactures and sells products in a number of countries throughout the world and, as a result, the Company is exposed to movements in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company's major foreign currency exposures involve the markets in Western Europe, South America and Asia. Some sales and purchase contracts contain embedded derivatives due to the nature of doing business in certain jurisdictions, which the Company takes into consideration as part of its risk management policy. The purpose of foreign currency hedging activities is to manage the economic impact of exchange rate volatility associated with anticipated foreign currency purchases and sales made in the normal course of business. The Company primarily utilizes forward foreign exchange contracts with maturities of less than 2 years in managing this foreign exchange rate risk. The Company has not designated these forward foreign exchange contracts, which had a notional value at December 31, 2019 of $525.4 million, as hedges and therefore does not apply hedge accounting.

The following table presents the fair value of foreign currency derivatives and embedded derivatives included within the Balance Sheets:



	As of December 31, 2019				As of December 31, 2018
(In millions)	Derivative Assets		Derivative Liabilities		Derivative Assets		Derivative Liabilities
Total	$	5.7	$	3.5	$	3.7	$	2.1

A master netting arrangement allows counterparties to net settle amounts owed to each other as a result of separate offsetting derivative transactions. The Company enters into master netting arrangements with its counterparties when possible to mitigate credit risk in derivative transactions by permitting it to net settle for transactions with the same counterparty. However, the Company does not net settle with such counterparties. As a result, the Company presents derivatives at their gross fair values in the Balance Sheets.

As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, information related to these offsetting arrangements was as follows:



(In millions)	As of December 31, 2019
Offsetting of Assets
	Gross Amounts of Recognized Assets		Gross Amounts Offset in the Consolidated Balance Sheets		Amount Presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheets		Amount Subject to Master Netting Agreement			Net Amount

Interest Rates: The Company has entered into three interest rate swaps to fix the interest rate applicable to certain of its variable-rate debt. The agreements swap one-month LIBOR for fixed rates. The Company has re-designated these swaps as cash flow hedges of variable-rate interest expense on the new borrowings from the new credit agreement in 2018. Refer to Note 6 - Debt for further information regarding the new credit agreement. All changes in fair value of the swaps are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income.

At December 31, 2019, the fair value of these derivatives designated as cash flow hedges were recorded in the Balance Sheet as other current assets of $0.1 million and as other comprehensive income, net of tax, of $0.1 million.

Net Investment hedges: The Company has entered into cross currency swap agreements that synthetically swap $116.4 million of fixed rate debt to Euro denominated fixed rate debt. The agreements are designated as net investment hedges for accounting purposes. Accordingly, the gains or losses on these derivative instruments are included in the foreign currency translation component of other comprehensive income until the net investment is sold, diluted, or liquidated. Coupons received for the cross currency swaps are excluded from the net investment hedge effectiveness assessment and are recorded in interest expense, net on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. For the year ended December 31, 2019, gains recorded in interest expense, net under the cross currency swap agreements were $2.9 million.

At December 31, 2019, the fair value of these derivatives designated as net investment hedges were recorded in the Balance Sheet as other assets of $6.4 million and as other comprehensive income, net of tax, of $4.7 million.

Refer to Note 15. Fair Value of Financial Instruments, for a description of how the values of the above financial instruments are determined.

Credit risk

By their nature, financial instruments involve risk including credit risk for non-performance by counterparties. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk primarily consist of trade receivables and derivative contracts. The Company manages the credit risk on financial instruments by transacting only with financially secure counterparties, requiring credit approvals and establishing credit limits, and monitoring counterparties’ financial condition. The Company's maximum exposure to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the counterparty, for all receivables and derivative contracts as of December 31, 2019, is limited to the amount outstanding on the financial instrument. Allowances for losses are established based on collectability assessments.

NOTE 15. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The fair value framework requires the categorization of assets and liabilities into three levels based upon the assumptions (inputs) used to price the assets or liabilities. Level 1 provides the most reliable measure of fair value, whereas Level 3 generally requires significant management judgment. The three levels are defined as follows:


•	Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the Company can assess at the measurement date.


•	Level 2: Observable inputs other than those included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. For example, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in inactive markets.


•	Level 3: Unobservable inputs reflecting management’s own assumptions about the inputs used in pricing the asset or liability.

Financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are as follows:

Investments represent securities held in a trust for the non-qualified deferred compensation plan. Investments are classified as trading securities and are valued based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets that the Company has the ability to access. Investments are reported separately in Other assets on the Balance Sheets. Investments include an unrealized gain of $1.8 million as of December 31, 2019 and unrealized loss of $2.4 million as of December 31, 2018.

The Company uses the income approach to measure the fair value of derivative instruments on a recurring basis. This approach calculates the present value of the future cash flow by measuring the change between the derivative contract rate and the published market indicative currency rate, multiplied by the contract notional values, and applying an appropriate discount rate as well as a factor of credit risk.

Contingent consideration obligation represents the estimated fair value of the additional consideration payable in connection with the Company's acquisitions of Proseal and Prime completed in the second quarter of 2019. The Company estimated the acquisition date fair value of the contingent consideration obligation for Proseal using a Monte Carlo simulation, and a scenario based method for Prime. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the contingent consideration obligations were the acquired company's projected performance, a risk-adjusted discount rate and performance volatility driven by industry peers. At each reporting date, the Company revalues the contingent consideration obligations to their fair values and records any changes in fair value within selling, general and administrative expenses in the Income Statement.

Following table provides a summary of changes in fair value of contingent consideration during the year ended December 31, 2019:



	For year ended
	December 31, 2019
Beginning balance	—
Acquisitions	$	16.0
Measurement adjustments recorded to earnings	0.7
Foreign currency translation adjustment	0.7
Ending balance	$	17.4

The fair value of contingent consideration obligations as of December 31, 2019 was $16.9 million included in other liabilities and $0.5 million included in other current liabilities within the Balance Sheet.

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and payables, as well as financial instruments included in other current assets and other current liabilities, approximate fair values because of their short-term maturities.

The carrying values and the estimated fair values of debt financial instruments as of December 31 are as follows:



	2019				2018
(In millions)	Carrying Value		Estimated Fair Value		Carrying Value		Estimated Fair Value
Revolving credit facility, expires June 19, 2023	$	700.9	$	700.9	$	390.5	$	390.5
Foreign credit facilities	0.4		0.4		—		—
Other	0.5		0.5		0.5		0.5

The carrying values of the borrowings approximate their fair values due to their variable interest rates.

NOTE 16. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

In the normal course of business, the Company is at times subject to pending and threatened legal actions, some for which the relief or damages sought may be substantial. Although the Company is not able to predict the outcome of such actions, after reviewing all pending and threatened actions with counsel and based on information currently available, management believes that the outcome of such actions, individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on results of operations or financial position. However, it is possible that the ultimate resolution of such matters, if unfavorable, may be material to results of operations in a particular future period as the time and amount of any resolution of such actions and its relationship to the future results of operations are not currently known.

In 2013, the Company received a notice of examination from the Delaware Department of Finance commencing an examination of the Company's books and records to determine compliance with Delaware unclaimed property law. The examination was not complete when, in 2017, Delaware promulgated a law which permitted companies an election to convert an examination to a review under the Secretary of State’s voluntary disclosure agreement program. In December 2017, the Company elected this alternative and is in the process of meeting the requirements under the voluntary disclosure agreement program. The requirements include reviewing the Company's books and records and filing any previously unfiled reports for all unclaimed property presumed unclaimed, under the law, from 2003. The Company completed the exercise in the fourth quarter and concluded that the Company's obligation is immaterial. We have submitted our conclusions to the Secretary of State in December; however as of the date of this filing, the Secretary of State of Delaware has not responded to our filling.

Guarantees and Product Warranties

In the ordinary course of business with customers, vendors and others, the Company issues standby letters of credit, performance bonds, surety bonds and other guarantees. These financial instruments, which totaled approximately $154.4 million at December 31, 2019, represent guarantees of future performance. The Company also has provided approximately $7.7 million of bank guarantees and letters of credit to secure a portion of its existing financial obligations. The majority of these financial instruments expire within two years; the Company expects to replace them through the issuance of new or the extension of existing letters of credit and surety bonds.

In some instances, the Company guarantees its customers’ financing arrangements. The Company is responsible for payment of any unpaid amounts but will receive indemnification from third parties for between seventy-five and ninety-five percent of the contract values. In addition, the Company generally retains recourse to the equipment sold. As of December 31, 2019, the gross value of such arrangements was $3.8 million, of which the Company's net exposure under such guarantees was $0.2 million.

The Company provides warranties of various lengths and terms to certain customers based on standard terms and conditions and negotiated agreements. The Company provides for the estimated cost of warranties at the time revenue is recognized for products where reliable, historical experience of warranty claims and costs exists. The Company also provides a warranty liability when additional specific obligations are identified. The warranty obligation reflected in other current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets is based on historical experience by product and considers failure rates and the related costs in correcting a product failure. Warranty cost and accrual information were as follows:



(In millions)	2019			2018

NOTE 18. BUSINESS SEGMENTS

Operating segments for the Company are determined based on information used by the chief operating decision maker (CODM) in deciding how to evaluate performance and allocate resources to each of the segments. JBT’s CODM is the Chief Executive Officer (CEO). While there are many measures the CEO reviews in this capacity, the key segment measures reviewed include operating profit, operating profit margin, EBITDA, adjusted when applicable, and EBITDA margins.

Reportable segments are:


•	JBT FoodTech—provides comprehensive solutions throughout the food production value chain extending from primary processing through packaging systems for a large variety of food and beverage groups, including poultry, beef, pork, seafood, ready-to-eat meals, fruits, vegetables, dairy, bakery, pet foods, soups, sauces, and juices.


•	JBT AeroTech— supplies customized solutions and services used for applications in the air transportation industry, including airport authorities, airlines, airfreight, ground handling companies, militaries and defense contractors.

Total revenue by segment includes intersegment sales, which are made at prices that reflect, as nearly as practicable, the market value of the transaction. Segment operating profit is defined as total segment revenue less segment operating expenses. The following items have been excluded in computing segment operating profit: corporate expense, restructuring costs, interest income and expense, and income taxes. See the table below for further details on corporate expense.

NOTE 19. RESTRUCTURING

Restructuring expense primarily consists of employee separation benefits under existing severance programs, foreign statutory termination benefits, certain one-time termination benefits, contract termination costs, asset impairment charges and other costs that are associated with restructuring actions. Certain restructuring charges are accrued prior to payments made in accordance with applicable guidance. For such charges, the amounts are determined based on estimates prepared at the time the restructuring actions were approved by management.

During the fourth quarter of 2016 the Company implemented and acquired a restructuring plan to consolidate certain facilities and optimize general and administrative infrastructure subsequent to a JBT FoodTech acquisition. The Company incurred $3.0 million expense for this plan in prior years with no additional expense in 2019, and completed this plan in the first quarter of 2019.

In the first quarter of 2018, the Company implemented a restructuring plan ("2018 restructuring plan") to address its global processes to flatten the organization, improve efficiency and better leverage general and administrative resources. During the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2019, Management has refined our total estimated costs in connection with this plan, with original estimate of $60.0 million to be recognized by the end of 2019, to a range of $62.0 million to $64.0 million to be completed in 2020. These changes reflect additional costs identified in order to achieve expected savings. Through December 31, 2019 the Company has recognized cumulative restructuring charges of $60.5 million, net of cumulative releases of the related liability of $10.5 million.

The following table details the amounts reported in restructuring expense for the 2018 restructuring plan on the consolidated statement of income since the implementation of this plan:



	Cumulative Amount		For the Quarter Ended								Cumulative Amount
(In millions)	As of December 31, 2018		March 31, 2019		June 30, 2019		September 30, 2019		December 31, 2019		As of December 31, 2019
Severance and related expense	18.5		1.6		3.6		1.0		0.7		25.4
Other	34.7		4.8		2.9		1.3		1.9		45.6
Total Restructuring charges	$	53.2	$	6.4	$	6.5	$	2.3	$	2.6	$	71.0

The restructuring expense is associated with the FoodTech segment, and is excluded from the calculation of segment operating profit. Expenses incurred during the year ended December 31, 2019 primarily relate to costs to streamline operations and consolidate facilities as a direct result of the plan.

Liability balances for restructuring activities are included in other current liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Details of the restructuring activity for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 are as follows:



(In millions)	Balance as of December 31, 2018		Charged to Earnings		Releases			Payments Made /Charges Applied			Balance as of December 31, 2019

Total	$	19.4	$	17.8	$	(4.3	)	$	(27.2	)	$	5.7

The Company released $4.3 million of the liability during the year ended December 31, 2019 which it no longer expects to pay in connection with the 2018 restructuring plan due to actual severance payments differing from the original estimates and natural attrition of employees.

Details of the restructuring activity for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 are as follows:

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

None.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES


(a)	Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act is (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and (2) accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.


(b)	Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the Company’s principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by the Company’s Board, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and includes those policies and procedures that:


(i)	pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of assets of the Company;


(ii)	provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and


(iii)	provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Management’s report on internal control over financial reporting is set forth below and should be read with these limitations in mind.

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the Company conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based upon the framework in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on that evaluation, management concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting is effective as of December 31, 2019.

During 2019, the Company completed the acquisitions of LEKTRO, Proseal and Prime. The net tangible assets acquired in these transactions represented approximately 2% of the consolidated assets of the Company as of December 31, 2019. The total revenue generated by these acquired businesses since the dates of acquisition totaled approximately 6% of the consolidated revenue of JBT Corporation for the year ended December 31, 2019. Management’s assessment of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019 excluded the internal control over financial reporting of these businesses during this period while the Company integrated the acquirees’ existing internal control structure with JBT policies and procedures.

Attestation Report of the Registered Public Accounting Firm

KPMG LLP, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, has issued their report, included herein on page 97, on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.


(c)	Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

In the ordinary course of business, the Company reviews its system of internal control over financial reporting and make changes to its systems and processes to improve such controls and increase efficiency, while ensuring that the Company maintains an effective internal control environment. Changes may include such activities as implementing new, more efficient systems, automating manual processes and updating existing systems.

In 2019, we established new internal controls related to our accounting policies and procedures as part of our adoption of the new lease accounting standard, including controls over the new lease accounting software, the new lease accounting process, and key estimates underlying the determination of our ROU assets and lease liabilities.

We are in the process of implementing new enterprise resource planning systems ("ERP") that will enhance our business and financial processes and standardize our information systems. We have completed the implementation at several locations and will continue to roll out the ERP in phases over the next several years.

As with any new information system we implement, this application, along with the internal controls over financial reporting included in this process, will require testing for effectiveness. In connection with this ERP implementation, we are updating our internal controls over financial reporting, as necessary, to accommodate modifications to our business processes and accounting procedures. We do not believe that the ERP implementation will have an adverse effect on our internal control over financial reporting.

Other than as noted above, there were no changes in controls identified in the evaluation for the quarter ended December 31, 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Stockholders and Board of Directors

John Bean Technologies Corporation:

Opinion on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

We have audited John Bean Technologies Corporation and subsidiaries’ (the Company) internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2019, and related notes and financial statement schedule II (collectively, the consolidated financial statements), and our report dated March 2, 2020 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.

The Company acquired LEKTRO, Proseal and Prime during 2019, and management excluded from its assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019, LEKTRO’s, Proseal’s and Prime’s internal control over financial reporting associated with 2% of total assets and 6% of total revenues included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting of the Company also excluded an evaluation of the internal control over financial reporting of LEKTRO, Proseal and Prime.

Basis for Opinion

The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
