JOHN BEAN TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION
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. The Company designs, produces and services sophisticated products and systems for multi-national and regional customers through JBT FoodTech and JBT AeroTech segments. The Company has manufacturing operations worldwide that are strategically located to facilitate delivery of its products and services to its 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 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, which provides a more complete description of the Company’s accounting policies, financial position, operating results, business, properties, and other matters. The year-end condensed consolidated Balance Sheet (the “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 the Company's 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 revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Significant Accounting Policies
The Company has enhanced and amended the significant accounting policies within Note 1 of JBT's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 below.
Allowance for credit losses
The measurement of expected credit losses under the Current Expected Credit Loss ("CECL") methodology is applicable to financial assets measured at amortized cost, which includes Trade receivables, Contract assets, and non-current receivables. An allowance for credit losses under the CECL methodology is determined using the loss rate approach and measured on a collective (pool) basis when similar risk characteristics exist. Where financial instruments do not share risk characteristics, they are evaluated on an individual basis. The CECL allowance is based on relevant available information, from internal and external sources, relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts.
The changes in the allowance for credit losses during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 were not material.
The following policies are included as interim disclosures in light of the economic environment caused by the novel coronavirus COVID-19 ("COVID-19") outbreak and its impact on business generally, the food and beverage and airline industries more specifically, and JBT.
8
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.
The Company evaluated whether there has been a change in circumstances as of September 30, 2020 and as of the date of this filing in response to the economic impacts seen globally from COVID-19. The valuation methodology to determine the fair value of the reporting units is sensitive to management's forecasts of future profitability and market conditions. At this time, the impact of COVID-19 on JBT's forecasts is uncertain and increases the subjectivity that will be involved in evaluating goodwill for potential impairment. The Company does expect declines in reporting unit fair values as a result of delayed demand for JBT's products, driving lower revenues and operating income across JBT. However, given the significant difference between the reporting unit fair values and their carrying values in the most recent quantitative analyses, as well as expected long-term recovery within all reporting units, management does not believe that these events result in an impairment trigger. The Company will evaluate the reporting units for impairment in the fourth quarter in accordance with the annual goodwill impairment test date of October 31, 2020.
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 Company has evaluated the current environment as of September 30, 2020 and has concluded there are no events or circumstances that have occurred that would warrant a revision to the remaining useful lives of the finite-lived intangible assets, nor a concern with the recoverability of the carrying values of the finite and indefinite-lived intangibles. The Company will continue to monitor the environment to determine whether the impacts to the Company represent an event or change in circumstances that may trigger a need to assess for useful life revision or impairment.
9
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.
We have evaluated the current environment as of September 30, 2020 and have concluded there is no event or circumstance that has occurred to trigger an impairment assessment of our long-lived assets. We will continue to monitor the environment to determine whether the impacts to the Company represent an event or change in circumstances that may trigger a need to assess for useful life revision or impairment.
Recently adopted accounting standards
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (ASC 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. The Company adopted ASC 326 as of January 1, 2020, using the cumulative-effect transition method with the required prospective approach. The cumulative-effect transition method enables an entity to record an allowance for expected credit loss at the date of adoption without restating comparative periods. The adoption of ASC 326 as of January 1, 2020 did not materially impact Trade receivables, net of allowances and Retained earnings and had no impact on consolidated net income and cash flows.
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 removes, modifies, and adds disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2019. The adoption of ASU 2018-13 as of January 1, 2020 did not materially impact the Company's disclosures in Note 9. Fair Value of Financial Instruments.
Recently issued accounting standards not yet adopted
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 removes, modifies, and adds disclosure requirements for defined benefit plans. The disclosure modifications in ASU 2018-14 will 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.
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. The new standard will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2020 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact ASU 2019-12 may have on its financial position and results of operations upon adoption.

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.

(1)The purchase accounting for Proseal and Prime was complete as of March 31, 2020. During the quarter ended March 31, 2020, there were no significant measurement period adjustments.
(2)The purchase accounting for LEKTRO was final as of December 31, 2019.
(3)The acquired intangible assets subject to amortization are being amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, which range from 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).
(4)Proseal and Prime purchase agreements include contingent consideration due to the sellers to the extent Proseal and Prime achieve certain earnings targets.
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.
The Prime purchase agreement includes 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 that resulted in no payment for the earnout period of calendar year 2019 and would result in a 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 9. Fair Value Of Financial Instruments for a description of how these values for contingent consideration obligations were determined.
(5)The Company expects goodwill of $58.9 million from these acquisitions to be deductible for income tax purposes.
During the second quarter of 2020, we acquired certain assets and liabilities of MARS Food Processing Solutions, LLC ("MARS"). This transaction was accounted for as a business combination with a purchase price of $5 million. The Company expects goodwill of $3.3 million from this acquisition to be deductible for income tax purposes. The MARS acquisition allows us to offer our Protein customers proprietary solutions for monitoring and managing the efficiency of poultry processing plants.

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 | |||||||||||

September 30, 2019 | December 31, 2018 | ||||||||||
Contract assets | 80.3 | 70.3 | |||||||||
Contract liabilities | 86.6 | 124.5 |
The revenue recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 that was included in contract liabilities at the beginning of the period amounted to $74.8 million and $104.3 million, respectively. Additionally, the Company assumed contract liabilities of $11.4 million from acquisitions in the year 2019. The remainder of change from December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 is driven by the timing of advance and milestone payments received from customers and fulfillment of performance obligations. There were no significant changes in the contract balances other than those described above.

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 the Company has the ability to access. As of September 30, 2020, $3.7 million of investments are recorded in other current assets on the Balance Sheet related to investments that are expected to be redeemed within the next twelve months. The remaining balance of investments are
18
reported separately in other assets on the Balance Sheet. Investments include an unrealized gain of $0.2 million as of September 30, 2020 and unrealized gain of $1.8 million as of December 31, 2019.
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. As payment for contingent consideration is based on the acquired company achieving earning targets, changes to projected performance of acquired companies result in a lower or higher fair value measurement. At each reporting date, the Company revalues the contingent consideration obligations to fair value and records any changes within selling, general and administrative expenses in the Income Statement.
The following table provides a summary of changes in fair value of contingent consideration during the nine months ended September 30, 2020:
Nine months ended | |||||

Beginning balance | $ | 17.4 | |||

Ending balance | $ | 17.4 |
The fair value of contingent consideration obligations as of September 30, 2020 was $17.4 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 of the Company's long-term debt approximate their fair values due to their variable interest rates.
NOTE 10. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT
Derivative Financial Instruments
All derivatives are recorded as assets or liabilities in the Balance Sheet at their respective fair values. For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, the unrealized gain or loss related to the derivatives is recorded in Other comprehensive income (loss) until the hedged transaction affects earnings. The Company assesses at inception of the hedge, whether the derivative in the hedging transaction will 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. Major foreign currency exposures involve the markets in Western Europe, South America and Asia. Some of the Company's sales and purchase contracts contain embedded derivatives due to the nature of doing business in certain jurisdictions, which are taken into consideration as part of the Company's risk management policy. The purpose of the Company's 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 September 30, 2020 of $532.5 million, as hedges and therefore does not apply hedge accounting.

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 the Company to net settle for transactions with the same counterparty. However, it does not net settle with such counterparties. As a result, derivatives are presented at their gross fair values in the Balance Sheet.

Interest Rates: The Company has entered into one interest rate swap executed in January 2016 with a notional amount of $50 million expiring in January 2021, four interest rate swaps executed in March 2020 with a combined notional amount of $200 million expiring in April 2025, and one interest rate swap executed in May 2020 with a notional amount of $50 million expiring in May 2025. These interest rate swaps fix the interest rate applicable to certain of the Company's 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, 2020, the fair value of these derivatives designated as cash flow hedges were recorded in the Balance Sheet as other current liabilities of $0.2 million, other liabilities of $5.8 million, and as accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax, of $4.4 million.
Net Investment: The Company has entered into a cross currency swap agreement that synthetically swaps $116.4 million of fixed rate debt to Euro denominated fixed rate debt. The agreement is designated as a net investment hedge for accounting purposes. Accordingly, the gain or loss on this derivative instrument is 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 swap 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 nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, gains recorded in interest expense, net under the cross currency swap agreement were approximately $2.2 million.
At September 30, 2020, the fair value of these derivatives designated as net investment hedges were recorded in the Balance Sheet as other assets of $4.6 million and as accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax, of $3.4 million.
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 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. Maximum exposure to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the counterparty, for all receivables and derivative contracts as of September 30, 2020, is limited to the amount drawn and outstanding on the financial instrument. Refer to Note 1. Description Of Business And Basis Of Presentation for a description of how allowance for credit loss is determined on financial assets measured at amortized cost, which includes Trade receivables, Contract assets, and Non-current receivables.

NOTE 12. 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 the Company's results of operations or financial position. However, it is possible that the ultimate resolution of such matters, if unfavorable, may be material to its 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, 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. The Company had, in December 2017, elected this alternative and has now concluded that our obligation is immaterial. We submitted our conclusions to the Secretary of State in December 2019 and received notice of the Secretary of State's agreement of the amount owed and closure of the examination in June 2020.
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 $144.9 million at September 30, 2020, represent guarantees of future performance. The Company has also provided $7.4 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 one year and are expected to be replaced 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 ninety-five percent of the contract values. In addition, the Company generally retains recourse to the equipment sold. As of September 30, 2020, the gross value of such arrangements was $2.4 million, of which its net exposure under such guarantees was $0.1 million.
The Company provides warranties to certain of its 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. Cost of warranties includes an estimate for products where reliable, historical experience of failure rates, as well as the related costs in correcting a product failure warranty claims and cost exist. The Company also provides a warranty liability when additional specific warranty costs are identified. The warranty obligation reflected in other current liabilities in the consolidated Balance Sheet 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 13. 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 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.
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 14. RESTRUCTURING
Restructuring charges primarily consist 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. Certain restructuring charges such as inventory write offs due to restructuring are reported in Cost of products and are included in each segment's operating profit given the nature of the item. All other restructuring charges that are reported as Restructuring expenses are excluded from the calculation of each segment's operating profit.
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 primarily within the JBT FoodTech segment. We have recognized cumulative restructuring charges of $62.5 million, net of cumulative releases of the related liability of $11.6 million, and have completed this plan this quarter.
In the first quarter of 2020, the Company implemented an immaterial restructuring plan primarily within the JBT AeroTech segment. Through September 30, 2020, we have recognized restructuring charges of $2.6 million related to severance. We have completed this plan this quarter.
In the third quarter of 2020, the Company implemented a restructuring plan ("2020 restructuring plan") for manufacturing capacity rationalization affecting both JBT FoodTech and JBT AeroTech segments. The total estimated cost in connection with this plan is in the range of $7 million to $8.5 million for FoodTech and in the range of $6 million to $6.5 million for AeroTech. We have recognized restructuring charges of $8.5 million through September 30, 2020, and expect to recognize the remaining costs by end of the year 2021.
The following table details the cumulative restructuring charges reported in operating income for the active restructuring plans since the implementation of these plans:

The Company released $1.1 million of liability during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 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.
NOTE 15. MANAGEMENT SUCCESSION COSTS
On September 24, 2020, the Company initiated a management succession plan after Tom Giacomini, the Company's former CEO, resigned from the Company. In connection with this succession plan, the Company entered into a separation agreement with Mr. Giacomini that provides for a lump sum separation payment of $6.4 million. This separation cost of $6.4 million was recognized as Selling, general, and administrative expense in the condensed consolidated statement of income in the three months ended September 30, 2020 and as accrued payroll in the Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2020.
Termination of Mr. Giacomini's employment has resulted in the forfeiture of 96,427 nonvested shares under the Company’s stock-based compensation plans. Accordingly, the Company recorded a benefit of $2.9 million associated with the reversal of previously accrued amounts for these unvested shares as stock based compensation expense within selling, general, and administrative expense in the three months ended September 30, 2020.
NOTE 16. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Company entered into an agreement to lease a manufacturing facility in Columbus, Ohio from an entity owned by certain of the Company's employees who were former owners or employees of an acquired business. The lease commenced on September 1, 2019, with an eight year term. The operating lease right-of-use asset and the lease liability related to this agreement is $3.5 million and $3.8 million, respectively.

In addition, many of our Risk Factors and uncertainties are currently amplified by and will continue to be amplified by the COVID-19 pandemic. Given the highly fluid nature of the COVID-19 pandemic, it is not possible to predict all such Risk Factors and uncertainties. Refer to the section below titled “Impact of COVID-19 on our Business” as well as Item IA. Risk Factors in this Form 10-Q for additional information. If one or more of those or other risks or uncertainties materialize, or if our underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual results may vary materially from what we projected. Consequently, actual events and results may vary significantly from those included in or contemplated or implied by our forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements included in this Form 10-Q are made only as of the date hereof, and we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement made by us or on our behalf, whether as a result of new information, future developments, subsequent events or changes in circumstances or otherwise.

We have engaged in structured education for enhancing inclusive leadership skills in our organization, designed to ensure more diversity in our leadership and hiring practices. We have commenced 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.

During the third quarter of 2020, we initiated a management succession plan after Tom Giacomini, the Company's former President and Chief Executive Officer, resigned his employment with the Company. The Company named Brian Deck as Interim President and Chief Executive Officer and Matt Meister as Interim Chief Financial Officer effective September 24, 2020. The company also named Alan Feldman as Chairman of its Board of Directors.
Impact of COVID-19 on our Business
The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted and will continue to result in significant economic disruption and has adversely affected our business. The following uncertainties exist and may continue to have a negative impact on our overall financial results:
•our ability to obtain raw material from domestic and international suppliers required to manufacture our products and execution of services;
•our ability to secure inbound and outbound logistics to and from our facilities, with additional delays linked to international border crossings and the associated approvals and documentation;
•our ability to access customer locations in order to execute installations, new product deliveries, maintenance and repair services;
•our ability to efficiently operate our facilities and meet customer obligations due to modified employee work patterns resulting from social distancing guidelines, absence due to illness and/or government ordered closures;
•limitations on the ability of our customers to conduct their business, and resulting impacts to our customers' purchasing patterns, from food and travel disruption, social distancing guidelines, absence due to illness or government ordered closures; and
•limitations on the ability of our customers to meet their financial obligations to JBT.
Specifically, when compared to the prior year, and as a result of the global shelter in place and social distancing requirements, the food industry has experienced a notable rise in retail demand driven by packaged food purchases. This increase in demand is offset by a continued decline in demand for food service due to the reduced restaurant, travel and school activity. While our FoodTech customers are present in both the retail and food services channels, this shift in demand creates volatility and uncertainty in our customer's purchasing patterns. Our inbound FoodTech orders in the third quarter were higher than the third quarter of 2019 as we begin to see improved access to customer plants and positive recovery for certain customers across the food industry, specifically for those in the quick service restaurant drive through businesses and those servicing the sustained "eat-at-home" trend. As these trends are expected to continue well into 2021, our customers are now investing more to support them, addressing immediate capacity needs and creating strong interest in FoodTech's broad product offerings. Although the pandemic has negatively impacted our full year inbound numbers and results of operations in this business compared to the prior year, we also believe it presents an opportunity to accelerate initiatives that were previously underway to bring automation solutions to the protein market. In addition, the liquid foods end products such as juice, canned foods and ready meals remain in high retail demand during the pandemic. As a result, customers with significant retail activity are increasing their demand for parts, services, and upgrades.
For AeroTech, a large portion of the business depends on the passenger airline industry. Passenger air travel had virtually halted world-wide as of the end of the first quarter, slowly began to resume as areas re-opened during the second and third quarters, but is still well below pre-pandemic levels. This has continued to directly impact our mobile equipment and airport services business, and we expect this impact of the pandemic to continue for the remainder of the year. Airport infrastructure spending, which is subject to long lead time contracts, remained relatively stable through the third quarter, and, although our projections have more uncertainty than in pre-pandemic periods, we expect demand and inbound orders for these products to continue through 2020. In addition, the cost controls including restructuring, and diversity of revenue streams within the business, have allowed for AeroTech to remain solidly profitable despite these impacts and uncertainties.
Within the AeroTech segment we are also experiencing reduced aftermarket demand due to lower equipment utilization by customers. We have begun to see improvement in certain areas of the world as countries and regions reopen, but these improvements may not continue if a broader resurgence in COVID-19 cases causes restrictions to be reinstated. Recurring revenue for the FoodTech segment for the quarter ended September 30, 2020 increased compared to the same period last year, as most food processing companies sustained critical operations, despite the disruption of the pandemic, requiring maintenance and parts.
All of the uncertainties related to the COVID-19 pandemic are impacting companies worldwide, which is driving our customers across both segments to continue to reduce or suspend their capital expenditures. These actions have had an adverse impact on our inbound orders, and are expected to have an adverse impact on our results of operations for the remainder of 2020.
28
Furthermore, an outbreak of COVID-19 in a single plant location may lead to a temporary shut-down, which would negatively impact our results. However, there is no concentration across our manufacturing facilities such that a temporary single plant closure would be expected to have a material impact to our consolidated results.
Although we cannot reasonably estimate the duration and severity of these events or the impact this will have on the global economy or our business, we believe we will emerge from these events well-positioned for long-term growth. For a discussion of the risks and uncertainties associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, see “The COVID-19 pandemic could have a material adverse impact on our business operations, results of operations, cash flows and financial position” in Item 1A. Risk Factors of Form 10-Q.
Our Strategy to Mitigate Impacts of COVID-19
In light of these uncertainties, our focus is to preserve liquidity while maintaining our ability to execute as a critical supplier to the essential food and air transportation industries, and invest in the key growth strategies evident for a recovery from this pandemic. We have implemented incremental controls to further support our disciplined approach to working capital management. We are also availing ourselves of benefits under the CARES Act including both deferred tax payments and tax credits related to COVID-19. We have reduced spending more broadly across the company including reductions in bonus and other employee compensation, reduced hiring, implemented furloughs and layoffs, reduced work hours, significantly reduced discretionary spending and travel, and limited capital spending to critical needs. Human capital related cost reductions such as reductions in bonus and other employee compensation have been implemented company-wide, with a focus on reducing discretionary spending for the company as a whole. Furloughs and lay-offs are driven by individual business unit needs, and are based largely on current and anticipated customer demand within that business. We have developed contingency plans to further reduce costs and use of capital if the situation deteriorates. In addition, we are selectively resuming investments to ensure continued investment in product development, human capital, and customer support where market conditions are more favorable.
As of the date of this filing, most of our factories, suppliers and warehouses remain operational. We have taken a number of steps under the guidance of our Crisis Response Team to protect the health and safety of our workers in our facilities, including daily symptoms screening for clearance to work, social distancing requirements in our workplaces, face covering requirements where social distancing is not possible, facilitation of work from home arrangements for our employees who can perform work functions remotely, and global travel restrictions consistent with CDC and local government guidelines. Our Crisis Response Team issues frequent guidance to our managers and employees to reinforce the protocols and policies designed to keep our employees safe, and maintain our business operations. Furthermore, we have largely maintained our supply chain to date through our geographically diversified supplier base, and are providing enhanced remote support options and extended hours to our customers to support them through the disruption caused by the pandemic. Despite reduced capital expenditures and cost cutting measures, we have protected our investment in product development most notably as it relates to accelerated demand for labor-saving automation. We will continue to actively monitor the situation and may take further actions that alter our business operations as may be required by federal, state or local authorities or that we determine are in the best interests of our employees and our other stakeholders.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We present non-GAAP financial measures in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. 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. The adjustments generally fall within the following categories: restructuring costs, M&A related costs, pension-related costs, constant currency adjustments and other major items affecting comparability of our ongoing operating results.
Beginning in the third quarter of 2020, we adjusted certain of our non-GAAP financial measures for management succession costs. On September 24, 2020, we announced that our CEO stepped down following a leave of absence. Management succession costs in the third quarter of 2020 include severance paid to our former CEO, net of the reversal of stock based compensation expense for forfeited equity awards, and in future periods is expected to include costs related to filling executive positions in connection with this transition. We did not incur management succession costs in any prior periods presented in this report. We are excluding management succession costs from certain non-GAAP financial measures because they are not part of our regular compensation program, and we believe that excluding the effects of costs associated with the recruiting and transitioning of the most senior executive position allows more meaningful period-to-period comparisons of our ongoing operating results.
29
The non-GAAP financial measures presented in this report 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 and M&A related costs, which include integration costs and the amortization of inventory step-up from business combinations, transaction costs for both potential and completed M&A transactions (“M&A related costs”), and Management succession costs.
•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, pension expense other than service cost, M&A related costs, and Management succession costs.
•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, and M&A related costs. We calculate segment Adjusted EBITDA by subtracting depreciation and amortization from segment adjusted operating profit.
•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.
•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.

Total revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2020 decreased $70.2 million compared to the same period in 2019. This was a 14% decrease, with a 15% decline in revenue partially offset by a 1% favorable foreign currency translation. The decline in revenue was caused by significant disruption in orders reflected by a significantly lower backlog entering third quarter 2020 compared to the same period in 2019. Orders declined during the second quarter of 2020 as customers delayed capital expenditures at the onset of the pandemic.
Operating income margin was 6.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to 9.9% in the same period in 2019, a decrease of 310 bps, as a result of the following items:
•Gross profit margin increased 10 bps to 30.3% compared to 30.2% in the same period last year. This increase was the result of higher recurring revenue mix for JBT FoodTech.
•Selling, general and administrative expense decreased in dollars due to lower acquisition-related costs and cost reduction actions taken in reaction to the pandemic, partially offset by $3.5 million of management succession costs that were not incurred in the prior year. As a percentage of revenue these expenses have increased 190 bps from 20.0% in 2019 to 21.9% in 2020.
•Restructuring expense increased $5.8 million. As a percent of revenue, these expenses have increased 140 bps to 1.7% compared to 0.3% in the same period last year. In the current quarter, we recorded restructuring expense of $7.1 million in connection with our 2020 restructuring and other plans described in Note 14. Restructuring.
•Currency translation reduced operating income by $1.6 million.
Pension expense, other than service cost increased from $0.5 million in 2019 to $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, resulting from the decrease in expected return on pension assets and amortization of higher actuarial losses.
Interest expense, net decreased $3.0 million resulting from lower interest rates and lower debt levels.
Income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2020 reflected an effective income tax rate of 24.7% that was comparable to the same period in 2019. In the three months ended September 30, 2020, we recorded a net discrete tax expense of $0.3 million resulting mainly from a tax rate change and a stock compensation forfeiture. In the three months ended September 30, 2019, we recorded a discrete tax benefit of $1.5 million reflecting lower taxes due upon filling of previous year's tax returns.

JBT FoodTech
FoodTech revenue declined $33.3 million, or 10%, in the third quarter of 2020 compared to 2019. Recurring revenue results were comparable to the third quarter of 2019, and increased from the second quarter of 2020, as most food processing companies sustained critical operations, despite the disruption of the pandemic, requiring maintenance and parts. Non-recurring revenue (primarily equipment) declined 11% and favorable foreign currency translation contributed a 1% increase in revenue from the third quarter of 2019. Revenues declined during the quarter as a result of much lower backlog entering the third quarter of 2020 compared to the same period in 2019. The reduction in demand is a result of reduction in capital expenditures by customers at the onset of the pandemic.
FoodTech operating profit declined $4.6 million in third quarter of 2020 compared to 2019. Operating profit margin was 12.6% compared to 12.7% in the prior year, an decrease of 10 bps. Gross profit margins improved 160 bps primarily from a higher recurring revenue mix, which increased from 45% of revenues in third quarter 2019 to 50% of revenues in the third quarter of 2020. Selling, general and administrative expenses in the third quarter of 2020 were $3.0 million lower than 2019, primarily reflective of cost actions taken during the quarter in reaction to the pandemic, including reduced travel and lower compensation. Currency translation reduced comparative earnings during third quarter 2020 by $1.0 million.
JBT AeroTech
JBT AeroTech's revenue declined $36.8 million, or 24%, in the third quarter of 2020 compared to 2019. Revenues from our mobile equipment business accounted for 21% of the decline due to lower equipment and aftermarket sales driven by significantly lower customer demand as a result of the pandemic. Revenues from our fixed equipment business were up 4% due to higher passenger boarding bridge activity and related products sold to domestic airports partly offset by lower aftermarket sales as a result of the pandemic. Service revenues contributed a 7% decline as a result of lower revenues from maintenance contracts mostly as a result of the pandemic. Currency translation had an immaterial impact.
AeroTech operating profit declined $10.8 million in the third quarter of 2020 compared to 2019. JBT AeroTech's operating profit margin was 9.6% compared to 14.3% in the prior year, reflecting a decline of 470 bps. Gross profit margins decreased 430 bps due to an inventory impairment resulting from restructuring, lower mix of aftermarket sales and lost leverage of fixed manufacturing costs as a result of lower revenues which were all partly offset by productivity and material cost improvements. Selling, general and administrative expenses in 2020 were $3.2 million below 2019 mostly as a result of cost reduction actions which generated improved leverage of 30 bps despite lower revenues. Currency translation did not have a significant impact on our operating profit comparative results for AeroTech.
Corporate Expense
Corporate expense decreased $0.9 million during the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to the same period in 2019. The decrease was driven primarily by lower M&A related costs and incentive compensation expense, partially offset by increased costs relating to restructuring expense and management succession costs. Corporate expense increased as a percentage of sales from 3.0% in the prior year compared to 3.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2020.

Total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 decreased $111.8 million compared to the same period in 2019. This is a 8% decrease, with a 11% decline in organic revenue and a 1% unfavorable foreign currency translation, partially offset by a 4% gain from acquisitions. The decline in organic revenue was caused by significant disruption in orders as customers delayed capital expenditures at the onset of the pandemic.
Operating income margin was 9.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to 9.0% in the same period in 2019, an increase of 30 bps, as a result of the following items:
•Gross profit margin increased 40 bps to 31.1% compared to 30.7% in the same period last year. This increase was the result of favorable mix with contribution from acquisitions as well as a higher recurring revenue mix for JBT FoodTech.
•Selling, general and administrative expense decreased in dollars due to lower acquisition-related costs and cost reduction actions taken in reaction to the pandemic, partially offset by $3.5 million of Management succession costs that were not incurred in prior year. As a percentage of revenue, these expenses are unchanged at 20.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.
•Restructuring expense decreased $0.3 million. As a percent of revenue, expenses are unchanged at 0.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.
•Currency translation reduced operating income by $5 million.
Pension expense, other than service cost increased from $1.5 million in 2019 to $3.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, resulting from the decrease in expected return on pension assets and amortization of higher actuarial losses.
Interest expense, net decreased $2.2 million resulting from lower interest rates.
Income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 reflected an effective income tax rate of 24.7% that was comparable to the same period in 2019. In the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we recorded a net discrete tax expense of $0.7 million resulting mainly from a tax rate change and stock based compensation awards. In the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we recorded a discrete tax benefit of $3.7 million resulting from lower taxes due upon filling of previous year's tax returns and vesting of stock based compensation awards.

JBT FoodTech
FoodTech revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 declined $58.7 million, or 6% compared to the same period in 2019. Acquisitions contributed 6% revenue growth while organic revenue declined 10% from the same period in 2019. Unfavorable foreign currency translation resulted in a 1% decline from the same period in 2019. Organic revenue declines reflected significant disruption in orders and revenues due to business throughout the world delaying capital expenditures at the onset of the pandemic. Organic recurring revenues increased 4% in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to same period in 2019, as most food processing companies sustained critical operations, despite the disruption of the pandemic, requiring maintenance and parts.
FoodTech operating profit declined $4.9 million, or 3.7%, year over year for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to September 30, 2019, despite a decline in revenue of $58.7 million. Operating profit margin was 14.0% compared to 13.6% in the prior year, an increase of 40 bps. Gross profit margins increased 150 bps primarily due to a higher recurring revenue mix, which increased from 44% of revenues in the nine months ended 2019 to 49% of revenues in 2020. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $4.8 million lower in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019, primarily reflective of cost actions taken in reaction to the pandemic, including reduced travel and lower compensation, partially offset by higher acquisition-related costs. Currency translation reduced comparative earnings during 2020 by $4.8 million.
JBT AeroTech
AeroTech revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 decreased $52.9 million, or 12%, compared to the same period in 2019. Revenues from our organic mobile equipment business accounted for a 16% decline as a result of lower equipment and aftermarket sales driven by significantly lower customer demand as a result of the pandemic. Revenues from our fixed equipment business accounted for a 9% increase primarily due to higher passenger boarding bridge activity and related products to domestic airports partly offset by lower aftermarket sales as a result of the pandemic. Service revenues contributed a 5% decline driven by lower revenues mostly as a result of the pandemic. Revenues from acquisitions and currency translation had an immaterial impact.
AeroTech operating profit decreased $10 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019. JBT AeroTech's operating profit margin was 10.7% compared to 11.7% in the prior year, reflecting a decrease of 100 bps. Gross profit margins declined by 190 bps due to an inventory impairment resulting from restructuring, lower mix of aftermarket sales and lost leverage of fixed manufacturing costs as a result of lower revenues which were all partly offset by productivity and material cost improvements. Selling, general and administrative expenses in 2020 were $9.1 million lower than 2019 as a result of cost reduction efforts and were 90 bps lower as a percent of sales compared to 2019. Currency translation did not have a significant impact on our operating profit comparative results for AeroTech.
Corporate Expense
Corporate expense decreased $8.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to the same period in 2019. This year's results were driven primarily by a decrease in M&A related costs and lower incentive compensation expense, partially offset by increased management succession costs. Corporate expense decreased as a percentage of sales from 3.3% in the prior year compared to 2.9% in 2020.

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. We have recognized cumulative restructuring charges of $62.5 million, net of cumulative releases of the related liability of $11.6 million, and have completed this plan this quarter.
The following table details the cumulative amount of annualized savings and incremental savings for the 2018 restructuring plan:
Cumulative Amount | Incremental Amount | Cumulative Amount | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(In millions) | As of December 31, 2019 | During the quarter ended March 31, 2020 | During the quarter ended June 30, 2020 | During the quarter ended September 30, 2020 | As of September 30, 2020 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

Total restructuring savings | $ | 35.9 | $ | 5.5 | $ | 4.4 | $ | 2.7 | $ | 48.5 |
A portion of the $12.6 million in incremental savings for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was used to fund our JBT Elevate growth initiatives.
For the 2018 restructuring plan, we originally expected to generate total annualized savings of approximately $55 million by the end of 2020. In light of the current environment, the remainder of the expected savings is expected to be delayed beyond the end of the current year.
In the first quarter of 2020, the Company implemented an immaterial restructuring plan primarily within the JBT AeroTech segment. Through September 30, 2020, we have recognized restructuring charges of $2.6 million related to severance. We have completed this plan this quarter.
In the third quarter of 2020, the Company implemented a restructuring plan ("2020 restructuring plan") for manufacturing capacity rationalization affecting both FoodTech and AeroTech segments. We have recognized restructuring charges of $8.5 million through September 30, 2020, and expect to recognize the remaining costs by end of the year 2021. Cumulative amount of annualized savings and incremental savings for the 2020 restructuring plan were not material as of September 30, 2020. For the 2020 restructuring plan, approximate incremental cost savings we expect to realize during the remaining three months in 2020 and in the years 2021 and 2022 are as follows:

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, 2020, or cash plus borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facilities was $448 million. The cash flows generated by our operations and the revolving credit facility are expected to be sufficient to satisfy our working capital needs, new product development, restructuring expense, capital expenditures, dividend payments and other financing requirements. In light of the the COVID-19 pandemic and actions taken in response to the pandemic as described above under "Impact of COVID-19 on our Business", we are taking near-term actions to maintain our liquidity and reduce debt by reducing capital expenditures and operating expenses, managing trade receivables, as well as foregoing share repurchases and material acquisitions. Additionally, we are pursuing opportunities to increase liquidity by availing ourselves of benefits under the CARES Act including both deferred tax payments and tax credits related to COVID-19.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2020 we had total operating cash flow of $161.1 million and $140.2 million in free cash flow, which includes $6.5 million in benefits from deferred payroll tax payments under the CARES Act. For the full year, we expect to generate positive cash flows, including approximately $10.0 million in benefits from deferred payroll tax payments. In addition, we anticipate capital expenditures of $25 - 30 million for 2020 compared to $37.9 million in the prior year. Since September 30, 2020, we have also contributed $7.6 million to our U.S. qualified pension plan. We believe JBT's strong balance sheet, operating cash flows, and access to capital at September 30, 2020 positions us to navigate through the challenging economic conditions associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.
As of September 30, 2020, we had $50.6 million of cash and cash equivalents, $37.5 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 revolving 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 expense.
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 the nine months ended September 30, 2020, any such loan was outstanding for less than 30 days, and all such loans were outstanding for less than 60 days in the aggregate. We use 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. The amount outstanding subject to this IRS guidance at September 30, 2020 was approximately $13.5 million.
On August 10, 2018, the Board authorized a share repurchase program of up to $30 million of our common stock, effective January 1, 2019 through December 31, 2021. 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 generally intended to be used for future awards under the Incentive Compensation Plan.

Cash Flows
Cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 were as follows:
Nine Months Ended September 30, | |||||||||||
(In millions) | 2020 | 2019 | |||||||||
Cash provided by continuing operating activities | $ | 161.1 | $ | 35.1 | |||||||
Cash required by investing activities | (26.0) | (396.3) | |||||||||
Cash (required) provided by financing activities | (121.3) | 368.5 | |||||||||
Net cash required by discontinued operations | — | (0.2) | |||||||||
Effect of foreign exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents | (2.7) | (1.0) | |||||||||
Increase in cash and cash equivalents | $ | 11.1 | $ | 6.1 |
Cash provided by continuing operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $161.1 million, representing a $126.0 million increase compared to the same period in 2019. This increase was driven primarily by higher customer collections of outstanding trade receivables, lower amount reclassified into revenue from advance payments, lower investment in inventory and lower pension contributions. These were partially offset by higher payments for accounts payable.
Cash required by investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $26.0 million, a decrease of $370.3 million compared to the same period in 2019, primarily due to a decrease in acquisition spending year over year.
Cash required by financing activities of $121.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was primarily due to paying down our borrowings under our revolving credit facility. Cash provided by financing activities of $368.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was primarily due to higher borrowings to fund higher acquisition spending in 2019.
Financing Arrangements
As of September 30, 2020 we had $599.8 million drawn on and $392.1 million of availability under the revolving credit facility. Our ability to use this revolving credit facility 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, 2020, 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, and the uncertainties related to the COVID-19 pandemic described above under "Impact of COVID-19 on our Business", 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.
As of September 30, 2020 we have entered into one interest rate swap executed in January 2016 with a notional amount of $50 million expiring in January 2021, four interest rate swaps executed in March 2020 with a combined notional amount of $200 million expiring in April 2025, and one interest rate swap executed in May 2020 with a notional amount of $50 million expiring in May 2025. 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, 2020 reference rate for a portion of our variable rate debt was effectively fixed rate debt subject to an average fixed rate of 0.92%, while approximately $299.8 million, or 50%, remained 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, 2020. Refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 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, 2019.

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, 2020. We have concluded that, as of September 30, 2020, 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.
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 it pertains to the current environment, since the second quarter of this year we have implemented incremental controls over extending customer credit and accounts receivable collections to support working capital management.
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 September 30, 2020 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.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
There have been no material legal proceedings identified or material developments in existing material legal proceedings during the three months ended September 30, 2020.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the following risk factor and the factors discussed in item 1A. "Risk Factors" in JBT's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.
The COVID-19 pandemic could have a material adverse impact on our business operations, results of operations, cash flows and financial position.
We are closely monitoring the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on all aspects of our business and geographies, including how it will impact our workforce, customers, suppliers, channels and shareholders. The COVID-19 pandemic has created significant volatility, uncertainty and economic disruption. Many of our customers' business are experiencing significant disruptions and financial difficulties. We have experienced restrictions in our access to customers and suppliers, as well as the impacts of an economic slowdown and uncertainties about demand. Disruptions in our customers' businesses have negatively impacted our results of operations in the second and third quarters of 2020, and while we are seeing improvements in the third quarter as we gain additional access to customers and see steady demand within certain revenue streams, we are expected to continue to have an overall negative impact on customers' demand for our products and services and on our results of operations for the remainder of 2020.
The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts us will depend on numerous evolving factors and future developments that we are not able to predict, including: the severity of the virus; the duration of the pandemic and how long it will take for normal business operations to resume; governmental, business and other actions (which could include travel restrictions and quarantine requirements, limitations on our operations or mandates to provide products or services); the promotion of social distancing measures; the impacts on our supply chain and international border closings; the impact of the pandemic on economic activity, customer demand and buying patterns; delay or cancellation of orders in our pipeline or backlog; the effects of plant closures or other changes to our operations; the health of and the effect on our workforce and our ability to meet staffing needs in our plants and other critical functions, particularly if members of our work force are quarantined as a result of exposure; and any impairment in value of our tangible or intangible assets. Additionally, some of our employees are working remotely. An extended period of remote work arrangements could strain our business continuity plans, introduce operational risks, including but not limited to cybersecurity risks and risks to our internal controls and financial reporting, and impair our ability to manage our business.
These factors may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. If the pandemic continues to create disruptions or turmoil in the credit or financial markets, it could adversely affect our ability to access capital on favorable terms and continue to meet our liquidity needs. In addition, a material deterioration in our results of operations could impact our ability to meet our debt covenants in our credit agreement. This situation is changing rapidly and additional impacts may arise that we are not aware of currently. The impact of COVID-19 may also exacerbate other risks discussed in Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, any of which could have a material adverse effect on us.
The loss of key personnel or any inability to attract and retain additional personnel could affect our ability to successfully grow our business.
Our performance is substantially dependent on the continued services and performance of our senior management and other key personnel. Our performance also depends on our ability to retain and motivate our officers and key employees. The loss of the services of any of our executive officers or other key employees for any reason could harm our business. Occasionally, members of senior management or key employees may find it necessary to take a leave of absence due to medical or other causes. Following a leave of absence that started in June 2020, our Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, Tom Giacomini, stepped down in September 2020. As a result, the Company has named Brian Deck, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, as the Interim President and Chief Executive Officer, and Matt Meister, Vice President and Chief Financial Officer for JBT Protein, as the Interim Chief Financial Officer while the Board of Directors executes a search for a permanent Chief Executive Officer. Transitions in our senior executive management roles could adversely impact our strategic
45
planning, specifically resulting in unexpected changes, or delays in the planning and execution of such plans. Furthermore transitions of this nature could drive an adverse effect on the future performance of the Company.
