NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Description of Business

John Bean Technologies Corporation and its majority-owned consolidated subsidiaries (the “Company,” “JBT,” “our,” “us,” or “we”) provide global technology solutions to high-value segments of the food and beverage and air transportation industries. We design, produce and service sophisticated products and systems for multi-national and regional customers through our JBT FoodTech and JBT AeroTech segments. We have manufacturing operations worldwide and are strategically located to facilitate delivery of our products and services to our customers.

Basis of Presentation

In accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules for interim periods, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements (the “interim financial statements”) do not include all of the information and notes for complete financial statements as required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). As such, the accompanying interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the JBT Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2016,~~2017, which provides a more complete understanding of the Company’s accounting policies, financial position, operating results, business, properties, and other matters. The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet was derived from audited financial statements.

In the opinion of management, the interim financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of our financial condition and operating results as of and for the periods presented. Revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities can vary during each quarter of the year. Therefore, the interim results and trends in the interim financial statements may not be representative of those for the full year or any future period.

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.

Recently adopted accounting standards

~~In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11,~~ ~~Inventory (Topic 330) – Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory~~. The core principle of the ASU is that entities that historically used the lower of cost or market in the subsequent measurement of inventory will instead be required to measure inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The guidance will not change U.S. GAAP for inventory measured using LIFO or the retail inventory method. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2016. This guidance became effective for us as of January 1, 2017 and there was no effect on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

~~In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09,~~ ~~Stock Compensation (Topic 718) - Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting~~. The new guidance was developed as part of the FASB’s simplification initiative. The core principle of the ASU requires income tax effects of awards to be recognized in the income statement when the awards vest or are settled, and eliminates the requirement to report excess tax benefits in additional paid-in capital (APIC pool). It also allows an employer to repurchase more of an employee’s shares for tax withholding purposes without triggering liability accounting, and allows an employer to make a policy election to account for forfeitures as they occur. The new standard became effective for us as of January 1, 2017. During the first quarter 2017, 278,316 awards vested, and resulted in a $5.8 million tax benefit reported in earnings, and is classified as an operating activity within the condensed consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The elimination of the APIC pool affects the treasury stock method used to calculate weighted average shares outstanding; however, the impact was not material. We elected to change our policy surrounding forfeitures, and beginning January 2017 we no longer estimate the number of awards expected to be forfeited but rather account for them as they occur. We are required to implement this portion of the guidance using a modified retrospective approach, and as such have recorded a cumulative adjustment of $0.6 million in retained earnings as of January 1, 2017.

We also amended our incentive compensation and stock plan to allow JBT to have the discretion to withhold up to the maximum statutory rates, on an individual tax basis. A liability was not established as the withholding limits do not exceed the maximum. Cash paid for tax withholdings are classified as financing activity on the condensed consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, consistent with prior years.

~~In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15,~~ ~~Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments and Restricted Cash~~. The new guidance is intended to reduce the existing diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. The core principle of the ASU requires the classification of eight specific cash flow issues identified under ASC 230 to be presented as either financing, investing or operating, or some combination thereof, depending upon the nature of the issue. Entities are required to use a retrospective transition approach for all of the issues identified for each period presented. The Company adopted the new ASU as of September 30, 2017. There was no impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures as a result of adopting the ASU.

~~In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01,~~ ~~Business Combinations (Topic 805) - Clarifying the Definition of a Business~~. The core principle of the ASU is to clarify the definition of a business to require certain transactions to be accounted for as business combinations versus an acquisition of assets. The Company adopted the new ASU as of September 30, 2017. There was no impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures as a result of adopting the ASU.

~~In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04,~~ ~~Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) - Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment.~~ The new guidance will simplify the accounting for goodwill impairment. The core principle of the ASU is to remove the requirement to calculate an implied fair value to determine impairment (Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test) and allow instead for goodwill impairment to equal the amount by which a reporting unit's carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. The Company early adopted the new ASU as of September 30, 2017, prior to our 2017 annual testing of goodwill impairment, to be performed as of October 31st. There was no impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures as a result of adopting the ASU.

~~In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09,~~ ~~Compensation - Stock Compensation (ASC 718) - Scope of Modification Accounting.~~ The amendments provide guidance as to how an entity should account for a change in the terms and conditions of its share-based payment awards. The core principle of the ASU is to provide clarity, and reduce the variation in applied practice, as well as, cost and complexity in accounting for a change in the terms and conditions in an entity's share-based payment awards. The Company adopted the new ASU as of September 30, 2017. There was no impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures as a result of adopting the ASU.

~~Recently issued accounting standards not yet adopted~~

Beginning in 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ~~(Topic 606)~~("Topic 606"), plus a number of related ASU’s designed to clarify and interpret Topic 606. The new standard ~~will replace~~replaced most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP. The core principle of the ASU requires ~~companies to reevaluate when~~ revenue ~~is recorded~~recognition based upon newly defined criteria, either at a point in time or over time as control of goods or services ~~are delivered.~~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 ~~becomes~~became effective for us as of January 1, 2018 ~~with the option to early adopt the standard for annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2016,~~ and ~~allows for both retrospective and modified-retrospective methods of adoption. As previously disclosed, we will adopt Topic 606~~was adopted on a modified-retrospective basis.

~~In 2016, we completed our gap assessment and determined that approximately 30 - 40% of our total revenues will be subject to change dependent on the nature~~

The cumulative effect of the production process and contract terms. We believe that we will qualify for over time recognition for certain of our manufactured equipment as well as refurbishments. Under the new rules, revenue recognized for such projects in the future will result in an acceleration of revenue as comparedchanges made to our ~~current revenue recognition methodology of recognizing revenue at a point in time. We are continuing to quantify the impact of this change.~~

We continue to execute our implementation plan and have developed new revenue accounting policies and processes; changed our internal controls over revenue recognition; created pro forma disclosures; and continue to implement system changes and enhancements. We will begin our transition evaluation for all contracts that will not be completed onconsolidated January 1, 2018 inbalance sheet for the ~~fourth quarter~~adoption of ~~2017.~~Topic 606 was as follows (in millions):

~~In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02,~~ ~~Leases (Topic 842)~~. The new standard will replace most existing lease guidance in U.S. GAAP. The core principle of the ASU is the requirement for lessees to report a right to use asset and a lease payment obligation on the balance sheet but recognize expenses on their income statements in a manner similar to today’s

accounting, and for lessors the guidance remains substantially similar to current U.S. GAAP. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2018. However, early adoption is permitted. Entities are required to use a modified retrospective approach for leases that exist or are entered into after the beginning of the earliest comparative period in the financial statements. We are in the process of evaluating the impact this standard will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, Income Taxes: Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory. The new guidance is intended to simplify the accounting for intercompany asset transfers. The core principle requires an entity to immediately recognize the tax consequences of intercompany asset transfers. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. ~~However, early adoption is permitted only at the beginning of an annual period for which no financial statements (interim or annual) have already been issued.~~ The Company ~~anticipates~~adopted the ~~adoption in the effective period and we are currently evaluating the effect, if any, that the~~new ASU ~~will have~~as of January 1, 2018. There was no impact on our consolidated financial statements and related ~~disclosures.~~disclosures as a result of adopting the ASU.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-07, Compensation - Retirement Benefits (ASC 715) - Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Costs and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost. The new guidance will improve the presentation of pension cost by providing additional guidance on the presentation of net benefit cost in the income statement and on the components eligible for capitalization in assets. The core principle of the ASU is to provide more transparency in the presentation of these costs by requiring the service cost component to be reported in the same line item as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by the pertinent employees during the period. The other components of net benefit cost are required to be presented separately from the service cost component and outside a subtotal of income from operations. The amendments require that the Consolidated Statements of Income impacts be applied retrospectively, while Balance Sheet changes ~~should~~ be applied prospectively. As such, upon adoption in 2018, the Company expects to revise operating income for fiscal year 2017 by $1.1 million, and report this income in non operating income. Operating income for the fiscal year 2016 will be revised by $2.3 million and operating income for 2015 will be revised by $0.6 million. There will be no impact to net income or to the Balance Sheet or Statement of Cash Flows.

The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. ~~However, early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an annual period for which financial statements (interim or annual) have not been issued or made available for issuance.~~ The Company ~~will adopt~~adopted the ~~newly issued~~new ASU as of January 1, 2018. As such, the Company revised operating income for the first quarter 2017 by $0.3 million, and reported this income in non operating income. There was no impact to net income or to the Balance Sheet or Statement of Cash Flows.

Recently issued accounting standards not yet adopted

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), plus a number of related statements designed to clarify and interpret Topic 842. The new standard will replace most existing lease guidance in U.S. GAAP. The core principle of the ASU is the requirement for lessees to report a right to use asset and a lease payment obligation on the balance sheet but recognize expenses on their income statements in a manner similar to today’s accounting, and for lessors the guidance remains substantially similar to current U.S. GAAP. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2018. However, early adoption is permitted. Entities are required to use a modified retrospective approach for leases that exist or are entered into after the beginning of the earliest comparative period in the financial statements. We are in the process of evaluating the impact this standard will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (ASC 815) - Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities. The core ~~of the~~ principle is to simplify hedge accounting, as well as improve the financial reporting of hedging results, for both financial and commodity risks, in the financial statements and related disclosures. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted in any interim period after the issuance of the amendment, however, any adjustments should be made as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which the interim period occurred. The Company is currently evaluating the effect, if any, that the ASU will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. The core principle is to reclassify the tax effects of items within accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings in order to reflect the adjustment of deferred taxes due to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act enacted in December 2017. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted in any interim period for reporting periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued. The Company is currently evaluating the effect, if any, that the ASU will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

NOTE 2. ACQUISITIONS

During ~~2017~~2018 and ~~2016~~2017 the Company acquired ~~six~~four businesses for an aggregate consideration of ~~$353.4~~$127.3 million, net of cash acquired. A summary of the acquisitions made during the period is as follows:

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.

The following presents the allocation of acquisition costs to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed, based on their estimated values:

(1)

The purchase accounting for these acquisitions is preliminary. For PLF, AMSS and ~~AMSS~~Schröder the valuation of certain working capital balances, intangibles, income tax balances and residual goodwill related to each ~~is not complete. For Avure and Tipper Tie the income tax balances and residual goodwill~~ is not complete. We are also currently assessing the amount of goodwill that we expect to be deductible for tax purposes. These amounts are subject to adjustment as additional information is obtained within the measurement period (not to exceed 12 months from the acquisition date). During the quarter ended ~~September 30, 2017~~March 31, 2018 we refined our estimates of deferred tax assets for Avure by ($1.8) million and deferred tax liabilities by $0.7 million. The impact of these adjustments was reflected as a decrease in goodwill of $1.1 million, and resulted in an immaterial impact to the consolidated statement of income. During the quarter ended June 30, 2017 we refined our other intangible asset estimates for Avure by $2.6 million, deferred taxes by ($0.7) million and inventory by ($0.7) million. The impact of these adjustments was reflected as a decrease in goodwill of $1.2 million, and resulted in an immaterial impact to the consolidated statement of income. All otherhad no measurement period ~~adjustments in the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 3017 were not material.~~adjustments.

NOTE 7. REVENUE RECOGNITION

We adopted Topic 606 Revenue from Contracts with Customers on January 1, 2018. As a result, we have changed our accounting policy for revenue recognition as detailed below.

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 JBT is acting in an agent capacity. We recognize revenue when we satisfy 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 our revenue across JBT is derived from manufactured equipment, which may be customized to meet customer specifications, or is standard or turnkey.

JBT FoodTech designs, manufactures and services technologically sophisticated food processing systems and customized

solutions for the preparation of meat, seafood and poultry products, ready-to-eat meals, shelf stable packaged foods, bakery products, juice and dairy products, and fruit and vegetable products.

JBT AeroTech supplies customized solutions and services used for applications in the air transportation industry, including airport authorities, airlines, airfreight, ground handling companies, the military and defense contractors. We customize our equipment and services utilizing differentiated technology to meet the specific needs of our customers.

Our contracts with customers in both segments often include multiple performance obligations. For instance, a contract may include equipment, installation, optional warranties, periodic service calls, etc. We frequently have contracts for which the equipment and installation are considered a single performance obligation as in these instances the installation services are not separately identifiable. However, due to the varying nature of contracts across JBT, we also have contracts where the installation services are deemed to be separately identifiable and are therefore deemed to be a separate performance obligation.

When an obligation is distinct, as defined in Topic 606, we allocate a portion of the contract price to the obligation and recognize it separately from the other performance obligations. Contract price allocation among multiple obligations is based on 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 cost plus a reasonable margin.

We have elected the practical expedient to not adjust the transaction price for significant financing component for contracts with duration of less than one year.

The timing of revenue for each performance obligation is either over time as control transfers or at a point in time. We recognize 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 we have a contractual, enforceable right to collect payment upon customer cancellation. 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 sales, are recognized at a point in time.

We utilize the input method of “cost-to-cost” to recognize revenue over time. We measure progress based on costs incurred to date relative to total estimated cost at completion. Incurred cost represents work performed, which corresponds with, and thereby best depicts, the transfer of control to the customer. Contract costs include labor, material, and certain allocated overhead expenses. 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.

Revenue attributable to equipment measured at a point in time is recognized when our customers take control of the asset. We define this as the point in time in which we are able to objectively verify that the customer has the capability of full beneficial use of the asset as intended per the contract. Service revenue is recognized over time either proportionately over the period of the underlying contract or as invoiced, depending on the terms of the arrangement.

Within our AeroTech segment we also provide maintenance and repair expertise for baggage handling systems, facilities, gate systems, and ground support equipment. The timing of these contract billings is concurrent with the completion of the services, and therefore we have availed ourselves of the practical expedient that allows us to recognize revenue commensurate with the amount to which we have a right to invoice, which corresponds directly to the value to the customer of our performance completed to date.

Transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations

The majority of our contracts are completed within twelve months. We have elected the practical expedient to not disclose information about remaining performance obligations that have original expected durations of one year or less. For performance obligations that extend beyond one year, we had $206 million of remaining performance obligations as of March 31, 2018, 60% of which we expect to recognize as revenue in 2018 and the remainder in 2019.

Taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction, that are collected by the Company from a customer, are excluded from revenue. Shipping and handling costs associated with outbound freight after control over a product has transferred to a customer are accounted for as a fulfillment cost and are included in cost of sales.

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.

Contract balances

The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in billed accounts receivable, unbilled receivables (contract assets), and advance payments (contract liabilities). Progress billings generally are issued upon the completion of certain phases of the work as stipulated in the contract. Contract assets exist when revenue recognition occurs prior to billings. The contract assets are transferred to trade receivables when the right to payment becomes unconditional (i.e., when the amounts are billed to the customer and payment is due). These amounts are included in the trade receivables, net line item on the consolidated balance sheets. Conversely, we often receive payments from our customers before revenue is recognized, resulting in contract liabilities. These assets and liabilities are reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheet on a contract-by-contract basis at the end of each reporting period.

We have elected the practical expedient to expense acquisition costs for ~~pension~~contracts with duration of less than one year and ~~other postretirement benefit plans~~therefore have not included any acquisition costs (primarily sales commissions) in contract assets.

Significant changes in the contract assets and the contract liabilities balances during the period are as follows:



	March 31, 2018
	Contract assets		Contract liabilities
Balance at beginning of period	$	39.1	$	(109.6	)
Change due to Topic 606 restatement	20.9		(113.1		)

Impacts on financial statements

The following tables summarize the impacts of adopting Topic 606 on the Company's consolidated financial statements for the ~~nine months~~quarter ended September 30, 2016 were $2.7 million of charges in selling, general and administrative expense, net of $1.0 million in provision for income taxes. Reclassification adjustments for derivatives designated as hedges for the same period were $0.9 million of charges in interest expense, net of $0.3 million in provision for income taxes.March 31, 2018.

NOTE 9. 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 we have the ability to access. Investments are reported separately in Other assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Investments include an unrealized ~~gain~~loss of ~~$0.4~~$0.1 million as of ~~September 30, 2017~~March 31, 2018 and unrealized gain of ~~$0.6~~$0.5 million as of December 31, ~~2016.~~2017.

We use 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.

~~The contingent consideration relates to the earnout provision recorded in conjunction with the acquisition completed in the first quarter of 2016.~~

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 our debt financial instruments are summarized in the table below:


	As of September 30, 2017				As of December 31, 2016				As of March 31, 2018				As of December 31, 2017
(In millions)	Carrying Value		Estimated Fair Value		Carrying Value		Estimated Fair Value		Carrying Value		Estimated Fair Value		Carrying Value		Estimated Fair Value
Revolving credit facility, expires February 10, 2020	$	247.8	$	247.8	$	342.1	$	342.1	$	266.9	$	266.9	$	230.5	$	230.5
Term loan due February 10, 2020	150.0		150.0		150.0		150.0		148.1		148.1		150.0		150.0
Brazilian term loan due November 30, 2017	1.3		1.3		—		—
Brazilian loan due October 16, 2017	0.2		0.2		1.5		1.4

Other	1.1		1.1		1.2		1.2		—		—		0.2		0.2

There is no active or observable market for our fixed rate Brazilian loans. Therefore, the estimated fair value is based on discounted cash flows using current interest rates available for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities. The estimates of the all-in interest rate for discounting the loans are based on a broker quote for loans with similar terms. We do not have a rate adjustment for risk profile changes, covenant issues or credit rating changes, therefore the broker quote is deemed to be the closest approximation of current market rates. The carrying values of the remaining borrowings approximate their fair values due to their variable interest rates.

NOTE 11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

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 our results of operations or financial position. However, it is possible that the ultimate resolution of such matters, if unfavorable, may be material to our 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.

In 2013, we received a notice of examination from the Delaware Department of Finance commencing an examination of our 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, we elected this alternative and are in the process of meeting the requirements under the voluntary disclosure agreement program. The requirements include reviewing our books and records and filing any previously unfiled reports for all unclaimed property presumed unclaimed, under the law, from 2003.

We are required to work with the Secretary of State to complete this exercise by December 2019. We are not able to estimate whether we have significant unclaimed property obligations at this time.

Guarantees and Product Warranties

In the ordinary course of business with customers, vendors and others, we issue standby letters of credit, performance bonds, surety bonds and other guarantees. These financial instruments, which totaled $195.2 million at March 31, 2018, represent guarantees of our future performance. We also have provided $6.1 million of bank guarantees and letters of credit to secure a portion of our existing financial obligations. The majority of these financial instruments expire within two years; we expect to replace them through the issuance of new or the extension of existing letters of credit and surety bonds.

values. In addition, we generally retain recourse to the equipment sold. As of March 31, 2018, the gross value of such arrangements was $7.4 million, of which our net exposure under such guarantees was $0.5 million.

We provide warranties of various lengths and terms to certain of our customers based on standard terms and conditions and negotiated agreements. We provide for the estimated cost of warranties at the time revenue is recognized for products where reliable, historical experience of warranty claims and costs exists. We also provide 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:

NOTE 10. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT

Derivative Financial Instruments

All derivatives are recorded as other assets or liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated 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. We assess 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. The impact of any ineffectiveness is recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Changes in the fair value of derivatives that do not meet the criteria for designation as a hedge are recognized in earnings.

Foreign Exchange: We manufacture and sell products in a number of countries throughout the world and, as a result, we are exposed to movements in foreign currency exchange rates. Our major foreign currency exposures involve the markets in Western Europe, South America and Asia. Some of our sales and purchase contracts contain embedded derivatives due to the nature of doing business in certain jurisdictions, which we take into consideration as part of our risk management policy. The purpose of our 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. We primarily utilize forward foreign exchange contracts with maturities of less than 2 years in managing this foreign exchange rate risk. We have not designated these forward foreign exchange contracts, which had a notional value at ~~September 30, 2017~~March 31, 2018 of ~~$404.8~~$510.1 million, as hedges and therefore do not apply hedge accounting.

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


	As of September 30, 2017				As of December 31, 2016				As of March 31, 2018				As of December 31, 2017
(In millions)	Derivative Assets		Derivative Liabilities		Derivative Assets		Derivative Liabilities		Derivative Assets		Derivative Liabilities		Derivative Assets		Derivative Liabilities

Other assets / liabilities	0.1		—		—		—
Total	$	4.4	$	3.0	$	7.2	$	4.8

A master netting arrangement allows counterparties to net settle amounts owed to each other as a result of separate offsetting derivative transactions. We enter into master netting arrangements with our counterparties when possible to mitigate credit risk in derivative transactions by permitting us to net settle for transactions with the same counterparty. However, we do not net settle with such counterparties. As a result, we present derivatives at their gross fair values in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

As of ~~September 30, 2017~~March 31, 2018 and December 31, ~~2016,~~2017, information related to these offsetting arrangements was as follows:

Interest Rates: We have entered into three interest rate swaps to fix the interest rate applicable to certain of our variable-rate debt. The 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).

At ~~September 30, 2017,~~March 31, 2018, the fair value recorded in other assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet was ~~$0.5~~$3.5 million. The effective portion of these derivatives designated as cash flow hedges of ~~($0.3 million)~~$2.4 million has been reported in other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax, on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income.

Ineffectiveness from cash flow hedges, all of which are interest rate swaps, was immaterial as of ~~September 30, 2017.~~March 31, 2018.

Refer to Note 9. 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 us to credit risk primarily consist of trade receivables and derivative contracts. We manage 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. Our maximum exposure to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the counterparty is limited to the amount drawn and outstanding on the financial instrument. Allowances for losses are established based on collectability assessments.

~~NOTE 11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES~~

We are currently the subject of an audit being conducted by the State of Delaware to determine whether we have complied with Delaware unclaimed property (escheat) laws. This audit is being conducted by an outside firm on behalf of the State of Delaware and covers the years from 1986 through the present. In addition to seeking the turnover of unclaimed property subject to escheat laws, the State of Delaware may seek interest, penalties, and other relief. We are not able to reasonably estimate a possible assessment from this audit at this time.

~~Guarantees and Product Warranties~~

In the ordinary course of business with customers, vendors and others, we issue standby letters of credit, performance bonds, surety bonds and other guarantees. These financial instruments, which totaled $189.1 million at September 30, 2017, represent guarantees of our future performance. We also have provided $18.4 million of bank guarantees and letters of credit to secure a portion of our existing financial obligations. The majority of these financial instruments expire within two years; we expect to replace them through the issuance of new or the extension of existing letters of credit and surety bonds.

In some instances, we guarantee our customers’ financing arrangements. We are 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, we generally retain recourse to the equipment sold. As of September 30, 2017, the gross value of such arrangements was $5.0 million, of which our net exposure under such guarantees was $0.4 million.

NOTE 12. BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION

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 ~~income~~profit margin, and EBITDA.

~~In the third quarter of 2017, we changed the internal structure of our management team; insofar that it increased the number of operating segments, as defined by ASC 280,~~ ~~Segment Reporting~~, for the Company. Although the number of operating segments has increased from prior periods, we have aggregated multiple operating segments into one reportable segment, FoodTech, as they exhibit similar long-term operational, financial and economic characteristics. As such, our reportable segments remain the same and prior period disclosures are still comparable.

Segment operating profit is defined as total segment revenue less segment operating expenses. Business segment information was as follows:

NOTE 13. RESTRUCTURING

Restructuring costs primarily consist of employee separation benefits under our 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.

In the first quarter of 2016, we implemented our optimization program to realign FoodTech’s Protein business in North America and Liquid Foods business in Europe, accelerate JBT’s strategic sourcing initiatives, and consolidate smaller facilities. The total ~~estimated~~ cost in connection with this plan iswas approximately $12.0 million. We completed this plan in the first quarter 2018, and in doing so released $1.7 million in remaining liability during the quarter. Approximately half of this release was related to amounts we no longer expect to pay in connection with this plan due to actual severance payments differing from original estimates and natural attrition of employees. The remainder was included in the restructuring liability balance recorded in the first quarter attributable to the 2018 restructuring plan as we do expect to incur these severance costs.

During the fourth quarter of 2016 we implemented and acquired a restructuring plan to consolidate certain facilities and optimize our general and administrative infrastructure subsequent to a FoodTech acquisition. The total estimated cost in connection with this plan is approximately $4.0 million. We incurred no additional expense in the quarter, and have incurred $3.0 million to date. We expect to complete this plan by mid 2018.

In the first quarter of 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. In the first quarter we incurred $14.4 million in expense primarily associated with the FoodTech segment, $3.4 million related to consulting fees and $11.0 million in severance amounts incurred as a direct result of the 2018 plan. The ~~following table details~~total estimated cost in connection with this plan is approximately $50 million, of which we have recognized $14.4 million in the ~~amounts reported in Restructuring expense on~~first quarter 2018, and the ~~condensed consolidated statement of income since the implementation of these plans:~~

NOTE 14. INCOME TAXES

On December 22, 2017, Congress passed, and the President signed, “An Act to provide for reconciliation pursuant to titles II and V of the concurrent resolution on the budget for fiscal year 2018” (the “Tax Act”). The Tax Act makes broad and complex changes to the U.S. tax Code, including, but not limited to, (1) reducing the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate from 35.0 percent to 21.0 percent; (2) requiring companies to pay a one-time transitional tax on certain un-repatriated earnings of foreign subsidiaries; (3) generally eliminating U.S. federal income tax on dividends from foreign subsidiaries of U.S. corporations; (4) repealing the domestic production activity deduction; (5) providing for the full expensing of qualified property; (6) adding a new provision designed to tax global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”); (7) revising the limitation imposed on deductions for executive compensation paid by publicly-traded companies; (8) eliminating the corporate alternative minimum tax (“AMT”) and changing how existing AMT credits can be utilized; (9) creating a base erosion-anti-abuse tax (“BEAT”), a new minimum tax on payments made by certain U.S. corporations to related foreign parties; (10) imposing a new limitation on the deductibility of interest expense; (11) allowing for a deduction related to foreign-derived intangible income (“FDII”); and (12) changing the rules related to the uses and limitations of net operating loss carryforwards generated in tax years beginning after December 31, 2017.

The ~~releases represent~~SEC issued SAB 118 which provides guidance on how companies should account for the tax effects related to the Tax Act. According to SAB 118, companies should make a good faith effort to compute the impact of the Tax Act in a timely manner once the company has obtained, prepared, and analyzed the information needed in order to complete the accounting requirements under ASC 740, which should not extend beyond one year from the enactment date. However, in situations when the company’s accounting is incomplete, SAB 118 authorizes companies to record a reasonable provisional estimate of the tax impact resulting from the Tax Act.

For the period ended December 31, 2017, JBT reported a provisional estimate of the one-time deemed repatriation transition tax on previously untaxed and un-repatriated current and accumulated post-1986 foreign earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries, an adjustment to deferred tax assets related to future stock compensation deductions for amounts ~~which we no longer~~that it does not expect it will be able to ~~pay~~deduct in ~~connection~~the future, and an adjustment to re-measure deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities at the 21.0 percent US corporate tax rate. These provisional estimates were computed in accordance with ~~this plan~~SAB 118.

For the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company is still collecting and analyzing the necessary information related to the transition tax and the remeasurement of deferred taxes due to ~~actual severance payments differing~~the change in the federal tax rate. We will update our calculations as information becomes available with regard to the prior year tax return filings and as tax technical guidance is issued. Therefore, the earnings and profits of foreign subsidiaries as well as other underlying calculations required to compute the transition tax did not change from what was previously reported for the ~~original estimates~~period ending December 31, 2017.

The Tax Act requires the Company to analyze other impacted areas including the limitation on deducting executive compensation, net interest expense deductibility, GILTI, BEAT, FDII, and ~~natural attrition~~accelerated cost recovery of ~~employees. We expect~~fixed assets. The annualized effective tax rate reflects the relevant provisions of the Tax Act. The Company will continue to ~~complete all plans by mid 2018.~~analyze the tax effects of the new legislation during 2018 as more information is available and more technical guidance is issued at the federal and state level.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The results for the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2018 and 2017 ~~and 2016~~ include items that affect the comparability of our results. These include significant expenses that are not indicative of our ongoing operations as detailed in the table below:

(1) Impact on tax provision was calculated using the Company’s annual effective tax rate of ~~31.0%~~25.02% and ~~30.6%~~30.78% for ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2018 and 2017, ~~and 2016,~~ respectively.

The above table contains adjusted income from continuing operations and adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations, which are non-GAAP financial measures, and are intended to provide an indication of our underlying ongoing operating results and to enhance investors’ overall understanding of our financial performance by eliminating the effects of certain items that are not comparable from one period to the next. In addition, this information is used as a basis for evaluating our performance and for the planning and forecasting of future periods.

The table below provides a reconciliation of net income to Adjusted EBITDA:


	Three Months Ended September 30,					Nine Months Ended September 30,						Three Months Ended March 31,
(In millions)	2017			2016		2017			2016			2018			2017

Adjusted EBITDA	$	55.3		$	38.9	$	131.6		$	105.7		$	32.1		$	33.1

The above table provides net income as adjusted by income taxes, net interest expense and depreciation and amortization expense recorded during the period to arrive at EBITDA. Further, we add back to EBITDA significant expenses that are not indicative of our ongoing operations to calculate an Adjusted EBITDA for the periods reported. Given the Company’s focus on growth through strategic acquisitions, management considers Adjusted EBITDA to be an important non-GAAP financial

measure. This measure allows us to monitor business performance while excluding the impact of amortization due to the step up in value of intangible assets, and the depreciation of fixed assets. We use 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.

We evaluate our results of operations on both an 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 Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q 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.

Operating income margin was ~~10.0%~~1.4% for the three months ended ~~September 30, 2017~~March 31, 2018 compared to ~~8.4%~~5.9% in the same period in ~~2016, an increase~~2017, a decrease of ~~160 bps,~~4.4%, as a result of the following items:

Gross profit margin ~~increased 200 bps~~decreased 3.0% to ~~28.9%~~25.3% compared to ~~26.9%~~28.3% in the same period last year. This ~~increase~~decrease was the result of ~~Elevate initiatives, including value selling, aftermarket growth~~higher installation costs from execution of projects, weaker product mix and ~~sourcing, as well as favorable mix of~~some locational operational inefficiencies that had an outsized effect on the seasonally low first quarter. The profit margin erosion was offset by higher ~~margin products, both of which contributed evenly~~overall volumes to ~~this improvement.~~generate higher gross profit dollars.

Selling, general and administrative expense increased ~~both~~ in dollars ~~and~~but declined as a percentage of revenue ~~primarily in FoodTech~~due to the increased revenue resulting from the new revenue recognition rules. Absent this revenue increase, SG&A as a percent of revenues increased as a result of higher SG&A expenses of our recently acquired companies. ~~These increased expenses were partially offset by a benefit recognized in the quarter of $0.5 million related to forfeited stock compensation from retiring executives.~~

Research and development expense has increased as we continue to invest in Elevate new product development initiatives. As a percent of revenue (excluding impact of the new revenue recognition rules), these expenses have ~~declined~~increased to ~~1.6%~~2.2% compared to 1.8% in the same period last year as ~~revenue~~R&D expenses increased at a faster pace.

Restructuring expense increased $12.3 million. In the current quarter we recorded restructuring expense of $12.7 million in connection with our 2018 restructuring plan to realign portions of JBT businesses across the globe and improve processes.

Other (income) expense, net ~~was $(1.6)~~decreased by $0.3 million ~~in the quarter, a decrease in~~due to higher acquisition costs ~~of $3.1 million compared to the same period last year. Acquisition costs declined by $1.8 million in the quarter compared to prior year. The remaining decrease reflected foreign currency gains~~ in the quarter.

Currency translation did not have a significant impact on our operating income comparative results.

Other (expense) income, net increased from a benefit of $0.3 million in 2017 to expense of $0.2 million as of the first quarter 2018. This is driven by the reclassification of actuarial losses related to our pension plans from other comprehensive income in the period.

Interest expense, net increased ~~$0.8~~$0.3 million primarily due to ~~higher average debt levels resulting from acquisitions as well as increases in~~increased interest rates.

Income tax expense for the three months ended ~~September 30, 2017~~March 31, 2018 reflected an expected effective income tax rate of ~~31.0%~~approximately 25.02%, compared to ~~30.6%~~30.78% in the same period in ~~2016, reflecting~~2017.

Impact of Revenue Recognition Rules

Under the new standard, revenue recognition for many areas of JBT’s business remains substantially unchanged; including revenue earned from airport services, maintenance and other service agreements, lease agreements and most of our standard equipment and parts. The costs of our revenue do not change as a ~~higher mix~~result of ~~earnings~~the new standard. This standard does not change our customer billing or cash flows. However, we have determined that in certain contracts, we will qualify for over time recognition for our manufactured equipment that is highly engineered to unique customer specifications. In addition, due to the ~~U.S.~~nature of our equipment and installation services we will combine these into one performance obligation. Under Topic 606, revenue recognized for contracts that meet certain criteria will result in revenue being recognized as the equipment is being manufactured which is an acceleration of revenue as compared to our legacy revenue recognition methodology of recognizing revenue, when shipped to the customer. This conclusion, specific to equipment contracts for which the equipment is highly engineered to unique customer specifications, is dependent on whether our contract with the customer provides us, upon customer cancellation, with an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date. Where the contract does not provide us with an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to-date, revenue will be recognized at a point in time, usually upon completion of the installation of the equipment. Therefore, some revenue will be recognized at a later date than compared to our legacy revenue recognition methodology. This impacts both equipment contracts with installation that qualify as one performance obligation, and that were previously recognized upon shipment, as well as certain equipment contracts for which revenue was recognized under percentage of completion accounting under legacy GAAP.

During the first quarter, reported revenues were boosted by the adoption of Topic 606 by approximately $50 million. One third of this reflects an acceleration of revenue into Q1 as we are recognizing revenue over time on projects that had not shipped by the end of the quarter. Two thirds of this amount reflects revenue reported for contracts where installation was completed this quarter, but that were previously recognized under legacy GAAP during 2017 when the equipment was shipped. These amounts are not considered as part of our organic growth in ~~jurisdictions with lower tax rates.~~revenues.

Operating profit margin was positively impacted by an increase in gross profit margins of 210 bps, primarily driven by Elevate initiatives including aftermarket growth and strategic sourcing, as well as a favorable mix of higher margin products. This increase was partially offset by increased SG&A costs resulting in a decline of 130 bps, which was$14 million. These are the result of higher ~~relative SG&A~~ costs from ~~acquired companies.~~execution of larger projects, along with unabsorbed costs from lower volumes. The profit margin erosion was offset by higher overall volumes to generate higher gross profit dollars. However, the higher profits did not flow through to operating income due to higher spending in selling, general and administrative costs and research and development costs.

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

This is a 3% increase from the first quarter of 2017, driven primarily by a 3% gain from acquisitions. Foreign exchange had a 1% benefit, offset by a decline due to the new revenue recognition standard where, under legacy GAAP, we would have recognized an additional 1% of revenues in ~~2016.

Our revenues were positively impacted by mobile equipment ~~business increased $8.0~~and airport services revenue growth exceeding 10% for the quarter, offset by a decline in fixed equipment revenue.

AeroTech operating profit declined $1.7 million in the first quarter of 2018 compared to the first quarter of 2017. This is primarily due to higher shipments of cargo loaders and deicing equipment, service revenue increased by $4.7 million driven by higher revenue on new and existing maintenance contracts, and our fixed equipment revenue decreased $4.4 million mainly as a result of lower installation revenue compared toSG&A spending in 2018, including the ~~same period in the prior year.~~

JBT AeroTech’s operating profit margin for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was 12.3% compared to 10.6% in the same period in the prior year, an increase of 170 bps.

Total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 increased $205.9 million, or $203.2 million in constant currency, compared to the same period in 2016. The increase was driven by revenue from acquired companies, which added $129.3 million, organic growth of $73.9 million and $2.7 million due to currency translation.

~~Operating income margin was 8.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to 7.3% in the same period in 2016, an increase of 70 bps, as a result of the following items:~~

Gross profit margin increased 80 bps to 29.0% compared to 28.2% in the same period last year. This increase was the result of acquired companies with higher gross margin profiles than our legacy businesses, Elevate initiatives such as value selling and aftermarket growth, and increased volume of higher margin products, each contributing to this increase by approximately one-third.

~~Selling, general and administrative expense increased both in dollars and as a percentage of revenue as a result of higher SG&A expenses of our recently acquired companies.~~

Research and development expense has increased as we continue to invest in Elevate new product development initiatives. As a percent of revenue, these expenses have declined to 1.7% compared to 1.9% in the same period last year as revenue increased at a faster pace.

Restructuring expense decreased $8.1 million. In the prior year we recorded restructuring expense of $9.4 million in connection with our plan to realign portions of the FoodTech business, accelerate sourcing initiatives and consolidate smaller facilities.

~~Other (income) expense, net improved $2.7 million due to foreign currency gains and gains disposals of fixed assets, and lower acquisition costs in the year.~~

~~Currency translation did not have a significant impact on our operating income comparative results.~~

~~Interest expense, net increased $3.3 million primarily due to higher average debt levels resulting from acquisitions and increased interest rates.~~

Income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 reflected an expected effective income tax rate of approximately 31.0%, compared to 30.6% in the same period in 2016. In addition we recognized a $5.9 million discrete tax benefit due to new share-based compensation guidance effective as of January 1, 2017.

~~JBT FoodTech~~

JBT FoodTech’s revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 increased by $174.4 million, or $171.1 million in constant currency, compared to the same period in 2016. Revenue growth in North America contributed to half of the increase in the nine months ended September 30, 2017, with the remaining growth primarily driven by equal growth in Europe and Asia Pacific. Acquisitions contributed $125.7 million in revenue growth, and the legacy FoodTech businesses contributed organic growth of $45.5 million. Currency translation resulted in an increase of $3.2 million from prior year.

JBT FoodTech’s operating profit margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was 10.9% compared to 12.1% in the same period prior year, a decrease of 120 bps. Operating profit margin was positively impacted by an increase in gross profit margins of 70 bps, offset by increased SG&A costs which drove a decline of 190 bps. The gross margin improvement was driven by acquisitions which resulted in a 35 bps increase, and the remainder from Elevate initiatives such as value selling and aftermarket growth. Increased SG&A expenses were primarily the result of higher relative SG&A costs from acquired companies.

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

~~JBT AeroTech~~

JBT AeroTech's revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 increased by $31.5 million, or $32.0 million in constant currency, compared to the same period in 2016. Acquisitions contributed $3.6 million, $28.4 million was from organic growth and ($0.5) million in currency translation. Revenue from our fixed equipment business increased $19.3 million primarily driven by higher shipments of passenger boarding bridges to domestic airports, service revenue increased by $12.5 million driven by higher revenue on new and existing maintenance contracts, and our organic mobile equipment revenue declined $3.4 million resulting mainly from decreased sales to military customers.

JBT AeroTech's operating profit margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was 10.7% compared to 10.5% in the same period in the prior year, reflecting an increase of 20 bps. The drivers of gross profit margin improvement were split fairly evenly between improvements from Elevate initiatives including value selling, and favorable mix on higher margin equipment. Operating expenses remained consistent as a percent of sales compared to 2016, despite an increase in expenses related to transaction costs on acquisitions and higher relative SG&A costs on acquired companies totaling $1.2 million offset by improved leveraging of fixed costs.

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

~~CorporateExpense~~

Corporate expense was consistent during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to the same period in 2016, and declined as a percent of sales from 3.3% in the prior year compared to 2.7% in 2017.2018.

Restructuring

In the first quarter of 2016, we implemented our optimization program to realign FoodTech’s Protein business in North America and Liquid Foods business in Europe, accelerate JBT’s strategic sourcing initiatives, and consolidate smaller facilities. The total ~~estimated~~ cost in connection with this plan iswas approximately $12.0 million. We completed this plan in the first quarter 2018, and in doing so released $1.7 million in remaining liability during the quarter. Approximately half of this release was related to amounts we no longer expect to pay in connection with this plan due to actual severance payments differing from original estimates and natural attrition of employees. The remainder was included in the liability balance recorded in the first quarter attributable to the 2018 restructuring plan as we do expect to incur these severance costs.

In the first quarter of 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. In the first quarter we incurred $14.4 million in expense primarily associated with the FoodTech segment, $3.4 million related to consulting fees and $11.0 million in severance amounts incurred as a direct result of the 2018 plan. The total estimated cost in connection with this plan is approximately $50 million, of which we have recognized $14.4 million in the first quarter 2018, and the remainder we expect to recognize by mid 2019.

The ~~following table shows the~~ cumulative cost savings ~~to date from inception~~through March 31, 2018 for both the 2016 and the acquired restructuring plans are $8.2 million. The amount and timing of these cost savings were generally consistent with our expectations. A portion of the ~~plans through September 30, 2017, and expected through~~$8 million in savings was used to fund our JBT Elevate growth initiatives. For the ~~duration~~2018 program, we expect to realize annual savings of ~~the plans:~~approximately $45 million in 2020.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary sources of liquidity are cash flows provided by operating activities from our U.S. and foreign operations and borrowings from our revolving credit facility. Our liquidity as of ~~September 30, 2017,~~March 31, 2018, or cash plus borrowing capacity under our credit facilities was ~~$290.4~~$292.9 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, anticipated share repurchases, acquisitions and other financing requirements.

As of ~~September 30, 2017,~~March 31, 2018, we had ~~$38.4~~$30.6 million of cash and cash equivalents, ~~$34.7~~$25.6 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 ~~geographies.~~locations. 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. Any additional taxes could be offset, in part or in whole, by foreign tax credits. The amount of such taxes and application of tax credits would be dependent on the income tax laws and other circumstances at the time any of these amounts were repatriated.

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 both lowering the rate we pay on certain of our borrowings and 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. As of ~~September 30, 2017~~March 31, 2018 there were no amounts outstanding subject to this IRS guidance. During ~~2017, each~~2018, any such loan ~~was~~will be outstanding for less than 30 days, and all such loans ~~were~~will be outstanding for less than 60 days in the aggregate. The U.S. parent ~~used~~may use the proceeds of these intercompany loans to reduce outstanding borrowings under our five-year 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.

Cash Flows

Cash flows for the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2018 and 2017 ~~and 2016~~ were as follows:


(In millions)	2017			2016			2018			2017
Cash provided by continuing operating activities	$	69.2		$	26.9		$	(4.1	)	$	24.0

Cash ~~provided~~required by continuing operating activities during the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2017~~March 31, 2018 was ~~$69.2~~$4.1 million, representing a ~~$42.3~~$28.1 million ~~increase~~decrease compared to the same period in ~~2016.~~2017. The ~~increase~~decrease was driven primarily by ~~higher~~lower net income, increase in contract assets, and ~~increased deposits from customers, which~~a decline in advanced payments. These were partially offset by ~~an increase~~a decrease in inventory ~~spend.~~spend year over year.

Cash required by investing activities during the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2017~~March 31, 2018 was ~~$129.2~~$29.0 million, ~~an increase~~a decrease of ~~$103.0~~$39.4 million compared to the same period in ~~2016,~~2017, due primarily to ~~increased~~decreased acquisition spending in the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2017~~March 31, 2018 compared to the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September~~March 30, ~~2016~~2017 as we acquired Avure ~~AMSS and PLF~~ in February 2017.

Cash provided by financing activities during the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2017~~March 31, 2018 was ~~$65.0~~$29.9 million, ~~an increase~~a decrease of ~~$57.0~~$23.6 million compared to the same period in ~~2016.~~2017. On March 6, 2017 we issued 2.3 million shares of common stock which resulted in net proceeds of $184.1 million. We used the net proceeds from this offering to repay a portion of our outstanding

borrowings under our revolving credit facility and for general corporate purposes. ~~We made net payments under our revolving credit facility of $93.1 million~~There has been no such activity during the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2017, as well as paid dividends of $9.6 million.~~March 31, 2018.

Financing Arrangements

We have a $600.0 million credit facility with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. as administrative agent that matures in February 2020. This credit facility permits borrowings in the U.S. and in The Netherlands. Revolving loans under the credit facility bear interest, at our option, at one month U.S. 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, and LIBOR plus 1%, plus, in each case, a margin dependent on our leverage ratio. We must also pay an annual commitment fee of 15.0 to 30.0 basis points dependent on our leverage ratio. The credit agreement evidencing the facility contains customary representations, warranties, and covenants, including a minimum interest coverage ratio and maximum leverage ratio, as well as certain events of default.

We have an incremental term loan in the amount of $150.0 million which bears interest on the same fully funded terms as the revolving credit facility and matures in February 2020. We are required to make mandatory prepayments, subject to certain exceptions, of the term loan with the net cash proceeds of (i) any issuance or other incurrence of indebtedness not otherwise permitted under the Credit Agreement and (ii) certain sales or other dispositions of assets subject to certain exceptions and thresholds. We are required to repay the term loan in quarterly principal installments of $1.9 million beginning on March 31, 2018, with a balloon payment at maturity to pay the remaining outstanding balance.

As of ~~September 30, 2017~~March 31, 2018 we had ~~$150.0~~$148.1 million outstanding under the term loan within the credit facility, ~~$247.8~~$266.9 million drawn on and ~~$352.2~~$333.1 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 ~~September 30, 2017,~~March 31, 2018, 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. In February 2017, we exercised our option to temporarily increase the maximum allowable leverage ratio under the Credit Agreement from 3.5x to 4.0x, for the quarter ended December 31, 2016 and the following three quarters. The leverage ratio increase option is available for the first quarter end after we complete a permitted acquisition having consideration in excess of $100.0 million. Our exercise of the leverage ratio increase option had the effect of temporarily increasing the amount we are able to borrow under the revolving credit facility.

In May 2017, we entered into a fourth amendment to the credit agreement. This amendment revoked the leverage ratio increase period and returned us to the original maximum leverage ratio of 3.5x, as well as immediately resetting the leverage ratio increase option so it would be available to us without a waiting period that would otherwise apply. The amendment expanded the qualifying event to allow for the option to be exercised if any permitted acquisition, or a series of permitted acquisitions occurring within any consecutive twelve (12) month period following the first such permitted acquisition, had aggregate consideration in excess of $100.0 million. It also provided flexibility to JBT in determining the length of the leverage ratio increase period, but not to exceed four quarters.

We have entered into interest rate swaps to fix the interest rate applicable to certain of our variable-rate debt. The 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 ~~September 30, 2017,~~March 31, 2018, some of our debt was effectively fixed rate debt while approximately ~~$177.9~~$190 million, or ~~44.0%~~46%, was subject to floating, or market, rates. To the extent interest rates increase in future periods, our earnings could be negatively impacted by higher interest expense.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

There were no material changes in our judgments and assumptions associated with the development of our critical accounting estimates during the period ended ~~September 30, 2017.~~March 31, 2018. Refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2016~~2017 for a discussion of our critical accounting estimates.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

There have been no material changes in reported market risks from the information reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2016.~~2017.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Under the direction of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of ~~September 30, 2017.~~March 31, 2018. We have concluded that, as of ~~September 30, 2017,~~March 31, 2018, our disclosure controls and procedures were:


i)	effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms; and


ii)	effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

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

In 2017, the ~~third quarter of 2017, we deployed the first instance of a~~Company established new ~~standardized enterprise resource planning system (“ERP”), which is a critical component~~internal controls related to our accounting policies and procedures as part of our ~~internal control infrastructure. The implementation~~adoption of ~~this ERP requires changes to both manual and automated controls; including automating previously manual processes. The ERP implementation is scheduled to continue through 2020. Management believes~~ the ~~necessary steps have been taken to maintain effective~~new revenue recognition standard. These internal controls included providing global training to our finance team and holding regular meetings with management to ~~monitor their operation during~~review and approve key decisions. Beginning January 2018, we have implemented new internal controls to address risks associated with applying the ~~period of change.~~new standard, including risks related to judgments made to determine the estimates to complete for contracts recognized over time.

Other than as noted above, there were no changes in controls identified in the evaluation for the quarter ended ~~September 30, 2017~~March 31, 2018 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act.

In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2017, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Basis for Review Results

This consolidated interim financial information is the responsibility of the Company’s management. 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 reviews in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. A review of consolidated interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the ~~Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States),~~PCAOB, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the condensed consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of John Bean Technologies Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2016, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income (loss), changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 28, 2017, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2016, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

There have been no material legal proceedings identified or material developments in existing legal proceedings during the three months ended ~~September 30, 2017.~~March 31, 2018.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

There have been no material changes in reported risk factors from the information reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2016.~~2017, except as described below.

The risk factor under the caption “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” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 is updated and replaced in its entirety with the following:

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 may decide to impose import duties or other restrictions on products or raw materials sourced from those countries, which may include China and other countries from which we import raw materials or in which we manufacture our products. 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.
