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 FoodTech and 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, 2022, 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 was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all annual disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

In the opinion of management, the interim financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement 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.


NOTE 2. ACQUISITIONS

During fiscal year 2022, the Company acquired 100% of voting equity of two businesses. The Company did not make any acquisitions during the three months ended March 31, 2023. A summary of the acquisitions made during 2022 is as follows:
DateType Company/Product LineLocation (Near)Segment
September 1, 2022StockBevcorp, LLC ("Bevcorp")Eastlake, OhioFoodTech
A provider of beverage processing and packaging solutions in blending, handling, filling, and closing technologies. The Bevcorp acquisition expands the Company's presence in the ready-to-drink carbonated beverage production market and provides significant cross-selling opportunity in filling and seaming food and beverage applications.
July 1, 2022Stock
Alco-food-machines GmbH & Co. KG ("Alco")
Bad Iburg, GermanyFoodTech
A provider of further food processing equipment and production lines for a broad range of food applications. The Alco acquisition extends the Company's capabilities in further processing offerings and strengthens existing full line offerings.
7


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)During the quarter ended March 31, 2023, the Company recorded an increase in cash consideration paid of $1.1 million due to finalization of the working capital adjustments, and refined estimates for financial liabilities by $(1.0) million, resulting in a corresponding net increase in residual goodwill of $0.1 million. The purchase accounting for Bevcorp is final as of March 31, 2023.
(2)The purchase accounting for Alco is provisional as of March 31, 2023. The valuation of intangibles, income tax balances, and residual goodwill is not complete. These amounts are subject to adjustment as additional information is obtained within the measurement period (not to exceed 12 months from the acquisition date). During the quarter ended March 31, 2023, the Company made no significant measurement period adjustments for this acquisition.
(3)The acquired intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, which range from six to twenty-four years. The intangible assets acquired in 2022 have weighted average useful lives of 23 years for trademarks, 20 years for customer relationship, and 7 years for patents and acquired technology.
(4)The Company expects goodwill of $136.4 million from these acquisitions to be deductible for income tax purposes.

Contractual interest expense$0.3 $0.3 
Interest cost related to amortization of issuance costs0.6 0.5 
Total interest expense$0.9 $0.8 

Convertible Note Hedge Transactions

On May 28, 2021, the Company closed a private offering of $402.5 million aggregate principal amount of the Notes to qualified institutional buyers. The initial conversion rate of the Notes is 5.8958 shares of the Company's common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $169.61 per share. The conversion rate of the Notes is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain specified events.

On May 28, 2021, the Company paid an aggregate amount of $65.6 million for the Convertible Note Hedge Transactions (the "Hedge Transactions"). The Hedge Transactions cover, subject to anti-dilution adjustments substantially similar to those in the Notes, approximately 2.4 million shares of the Company's common stock. These are the same number of shares initially underlying the Notes, at a strike price of $169.61, subject to customary adjustments. The Hedge Transactions will expire upon the maturity of the Notes, subject to earlier exercise or termination.

The Hedge Transactions are expected generally to reduce the potential dilutive effect of the conversion of the Notes and/or offset any cash payments the Company is required to make in excess of the principal amount of the converted Notes, in the event that the market price per share of the Company's common stock, as measured under the terms of the Hedge Transactions, is greater than the Hedge Transactions strike price of $169.61. The Hedge Transactions meet the criteria in ASC 815-40 to be classified within Stockholders' Equity, and therefore these transactions are not revalued after their issuance.

The Company made a tax election to integrate the Notes and the Hedge Transactions. The accounting impact of this tax election makes the Hedge Transactions deductible as original issue discount interest for tax purposes over the term of the note, and results in a $17.1 million deferred tax asset recorded as an adjustment to Additional paid-in capital on our Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2023.

10


Warrant Transactions

In addition, concurrently with entering into the Hedge Transactions, the Company separately entered into privately-negotiated Warrant Transactions (the "Warrant Transactions"), whereby the Company sold to the counterparties warrants to acquire, collectively, subject to anti-dilution adjustments, 2.4 million shares of its common stock at an initial strike price of $240.02 per share. The Company received aggregate proceeds of $29.5 million from the Warrant Transactions with the counterparties, with such proceeds partially offsetting the costs of entering into the Hedge Transactions. The warrants expire in August 2026. If the market value per share of the common stock, exceeds the strike price of the warrants, the warrants will have a dilutive effect on our earnings per share, unless the Company elects, subject to certain conditions, to settle the warrants in cash. The warrants meet the criteria in ASC 815-40 to be classified within Stockholders' Equity, and therefore the warrants are not revalued after issuance.

NOTE 7. ACCUMULATED OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS)

Accumulated other comprehensive income or loss (“AOCI”) represents the cumulative balance of other comprehensive income, net of tax, as of the Balance Sheet date. For the Company, AOCI is composed of adjustments related to pension and other postretirement benefit plans, derivatives designated as hedges, and foreign currency translation adjustments. Changes in the AOCI balances for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 by component are shown in the following tables:

(In millions)

Ending balance, March 31, 2023$(130.0)$12.6 $(82.5)$(199.9)
(1) All amounts are net of income taxes.

Reclassification adjustments from AOCI into earnings for pension and other postretirement benefit plans for the three months ended March 31, 2023 were $1.4 million of charges to pension expense, other than service cost, net of $0.4 million income tax benefit. Reclassification adjustments for derivatives designated as hedges for the same period were $2.4 million of interest income, net of $0.60 income tax provision. Reclassification adjustments for foreign currency translation related to net investment hedges for the three months ended March 31, 2023 were $0.7 million of benefit in interest expense, net of $0.2 million income tax provision.

Reclassification adjustments from AOCI into earnings for pension and other postretirement benefit plans for the three months ended March 31, 2022 were $2.0 million of charges to pension expense, other than service cost, net of $0.4 million in benefit for income taxes. Reclassification adjustments for derivatives designated as hedges for the same period were $0.4 million of interest expense, net of $0.1 million income tax benefit. Reclassification adjustments for foreign currency translation related to net investment hedges for the three months ended March 31, 2022 were $0.7 million of benefit in interest expense, net of $0.2 million income tax provision.

NOTE 8. REVENUE RECOGNITION

Transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations

The Company has estimated that $1.2 billion in revenue is expected to be recognized in the future periods related to remaining performance obligations from the Company's contracts with customers outstanding as of March 31, 2023. The Company expects to complete these obligations and recognize 70% as revenue in 2023, 25% in 2024, and the remainder after 2024.

Disaggregation of Revenue

In the following table, revenue is disaggregated by type of good or service, primary geographical market, and timing of recognition for each reportable segment. The table also includes a reconciliation of the disaggregated revenue to total revenue of each reportable segment.

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

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

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.

12


Contract asset and liability balances for the period were as follows:
Balances as of
(In millions)March 31, 2023December 31, 2022
Contract Assets$96.4 $89.6 
Contract Liabilities209.8 182.1 
Balances as of
March 31, 2022December 31, 2021
Contract Assets104.0 94.4 
Contract Liabilities207.1 178.0 

The revenue recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 that was included in contract liabilities at the beginning of the period amounted to $77.1 million and $83.5 million, respectively. The remainder of the change from December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 is driven by the timing of advance and milestone payments received from customers, customer returns and fulfillment of performance obligations. There were no significant changes in the contract balances other than those described above.

NOTE 10. 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.

13


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

Total liabilities$4.7 $— $4.7 $— $7.2 $— $7.2 $— 

Investments represent securities held in a trust for the non-qualified deferred compensation plan. Investments are classified as trading securities and are valued based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets that the Company has the ability to access. Investments are reported separately in other assets on the Balance Sheet, and include an unrealized gain of $0.7 million and an unrealized loss of $3.9 million as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

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.

The Notes are not registered securities nor listed on any securities exchange but may be traded by qualified institutional buyers. The fair value of the Notes estimated using Level 2 inputs was $366.3 million as of March 31, 2023.

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 revolving credit facility recorded in long-term debt on the Balance Sheet approximate their fair values due to their variable interest rates.

NOTE 11. 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. The Company's major foreign currency exposures involve the markets in Western Europe, South America and Asia. Some sales and purchase contracts contain embedded derivatives due to the nature of doing business in certain jurisdictions, which the Company takes into consideration as part of its risk management policy. The purpose of foreign currency hedging activities is to manage the economic impact of exchange rate volatility associated with anticipated foreign currency purchases and sales made in the normal course of business. The Company primarily utilizes forward foreign exchange contracts with maturities of less than 2 years in managing this foreign exchange rate risk. The Company has not designated these forward foreign exchange contracts, which had a notional value at March 31, 2023 of $553.5 million, as hedges and therefore does not apply hedge accounting.

Commodity Price Risk: The Company's operations subject us to risk related to the price volatility of certain commodities. The Company principally uses a combination of purchase orders and various short-term supply arrangements in connection with the purchase of our raw materials and components required to manufacture our products. To mitigate the commodity price risk associated with the Company's operations, the Company may enter into commodity derivative instruments. During April 2022, the Company entered into various commodity forward contracts with a maturity of less than 1 year to mitigate this commodity price volatility. All of the Company's commodity forward contracts expired as of December 31, 2022.

The fair values of our foreign currency and commodity derivative assets are recorded within other current assets and other assets, and the fair values of foreign currency and commodity derivative liabilities are recorded within other current liabilities and other liabilities. The following table presents the fair value of foreign currency derivatives, commodity derivatives, and embedded derivatives included within the Balance Sheet:

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

As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, information related to these offsetting arrangements was as follows:

Interest Rates: The Company has entered into 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. The Company has 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 March 31, 2023, the fair value of these derivatives designated as cash flow hedges were recorded in the Balance Sheet as other assets of $17.0 million and as accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax, of $12.5 million. At December 31, 2022, the fair value of these derivatives designated as cash flow hedges were recorded in the Balance Sheet as other assets of $19.9 million and as accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax, of $14.8 million.

Net Investment: The Company has entered into cross currency swap agreements that synthetically swap $116.4 million of fixed rate debt to Euro denominated fixed rate debt. The agreements are designated as net investment hedges for accounting purposes. Accordingly, the gains or losses on these derivative instruments are included in the foreign currency translation component of other comprehensive income until the net investment is sold, diluted, or liquidated. Coupons received for the cross currency swaps are excluded from the net investment hedge effectiveness assessment and are recorded in interest expense, net on the Statements of Income. Coupon interest from cross currency swap agreements recorded in interest expense, net was approximately $0.7 million for both the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.

At March 31, 2023, the fair value of these derivatives designated as net investment hedges were recorded in the Balance Sheet as other current assets of $8.3 million and as accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax, of $6.2 million. At December 31, 2022, the fair value of these derivatives designated as net investment hedges were recorded in the Balance Sheet as other current assets of $9.9 million and as accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax, of $7.3 million.

Refer to Note 10. Fair Value Of Financial Instruments for a description of how the values of the above financial instruments are determined.

Credit Risk

By their nature, financial instruments involve risk including credit risk for non-performance by counterparties. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk primarily consist of trade receivables and derivative contracts. The Company manages the credit risk on financial instruments by transacting only with financially secure counterparties, requiring credit approvals and establishing credit limits, and monitoring counterparties’ financial condition. The Company's maximum exposure to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the counterparty, for all receivables and derivative contracts as of March 31, 2023, is limited to the amount drawn and outstanding on the financial instrument. Refer to Note 1. Description of Business and Basis of Presentation in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data of the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, 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.

Refer to Note 16. Related Party Transactions for details of operating lease agreements with related parties.

NOTE 13. 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.

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 $165.7 million at March 31, 2023, represent guarantees of future performance. The Company has also provided approximately $6.2 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 seventy-five percent of the contract values. In addition, the Company generally retains recourse to the equipment sold. As of March 31, 2023, the gross value of such arrangements was $2.0 million, of which the Company's net exposure under such guarantees was $0.3 million.

17


The Company provides warranties of various lengths and terms to certain customers based on standard terms and conditions and negotiated agreements. The Company provides for the estimated cost of warranties at the time revenue is recognized for products where reliable, historical experience of warranty claims and costs exist. The Company also provides a warranty liability when additional specific obligations are identified. The warranty obligation reflected in other current liabilities in the consolidated Balance 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 14. 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, EBITDA, adjusted when applicable, and EBITDA margins.

Reportable segments are:

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, plant-based meats, juices, and carbonated beverages.

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, pension expense, other than service cost, interest income and expense, and income taxes. See the table below for further details on corporate expense.

(2)Refer to Note 15. Restructuring for further information on restructuring charges.

NOTE 15. 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. 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 third quarter of 2022, the Company implemented a restructuring plan (the "2022/2023 restructuring plan") to optimize the overall FoodTech cost structure on a global basis. The initiatives under this plan will include streamlining operations and enhancing our general and administrative infrastructure. As of March 31, 2023, the Company recognized restructuring charges of $6.0 million, net of a cumulative release of the related liability of $1.3 million. The total estimated cost, net release of liability in connection with this plan is in the range of $8.0 million to $10.0 million expected to be recognized by the end of 2023.

The Company released $1.0 million of the liability during the three months ended March 31, 2023, which it no longer expects to pay in connection with the restructuring plans due to actual severance payments differing from the original estimates and natural attrition of employees.


NOTE 16. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Company is a party to lease agreements to lease manufacturing facilities from entities owned by certain of the Company's employees who were former owners or employees of acquired businesses. As of March 31, 2023, the operating lease right-of-use asset and the lease liability related to these agreements is $3.9 million and $4.1 million, respectively.

Executive Overview

We are a leading global technology solutions provider 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 FoodTech segment. We also sell critical equipment and services to domestic and international air transportation customers through our AeroTech segment.

In early 2022, we announced our Elevate 2.0 strategy that capitalizes on favorable trends, as well as our leadership position, in the food and beverage processing industry. This strategy is based on a four-pronged approach to deliver continued growth and margin expansion.

Organic Growth. Our broad application knowledge, engineering expertise, and global sales and service allow us to work alongside our customers to develop critical FoodTech products and solutions across a diverse set of food & beverage end markets. JBT is benefiting from strong commercial and market trends, which create meaningful opportunities for continued new product innovation and R&D in support of our customers’ needs. Additionally, our cross-selling abilities, investment opportunities in developing geographies, and aftermarket capabilities provide meaningful growth opportunities for FoodTech globally.

Digital Transformation. We are investing to evolve our iOPS platform into a new digital solution called OmniBlu™, a customer-centric platform that delivers improved access to inventory and service, advanced functionality, and measurable results for customers, while also expanding JBT's recurring revenue from aftermarket parts and services.

Margin Enhancement. We see opportunities to improve our operating margins by 200 basis points or more in the medium-term, primarily through supply chain and strategic sourcing initiatives. Key areas of focus include supply base consolidation, make versus buy decisions, value engineering and component standardization, and best cost country sourcing.

Acquisitions. We are also continuing our strategic acquisition program focused on companies that add complementary products and technology solutions, which enable us to offer more comprehensive solutions to customers and meet our economic criteria for returns and synergies.

As part of the above strategy, our intent is to become a pure play food & beverage solutions company and are therefore pursuing a sale of AeroTech.

We operate under the JBT Business System which provides a level of process rigor across the Company and is designed to standardize and streamline reporting and problem resolution processes for increased visibility, efficiency, effectiveness and productivity in all business units.

Our approach to Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance (ESG) builds on our culture and long tradition of concern for our employees’ health, safety, and well-being; partnering with our customers to find ways to make better use of the earth’s precious resources; and giving back to the communities where we live and work. Our FoodTech equipment and technologies continue to deliver quality performance while striving to minimize food waste, extend food product life, and maximize efficiency in order to create shared value for our food and beverage customers. Our AeroTech equipment business offers a variety of power options, including electrically powered ground support equipment, that help customers meet their environmental objectives. While the majority of our impact lies within the solutions offered to our customers, our commitment to environmental responsibility extends to our own operations. We strive for our own facilities to operate efficiently and safely, much like the solutions we provide to our customers. We recognize the responsibility we have to make a positive impact on our shareholders, the environment and our communities in a manner that is consistent with our fiduciary duties. 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 evaluate our operating results considering key performance indicators including segment operating profit, segment operating profit margin, segment EBITDA (adjusted when appropriate) and segment EBITDA margins.

Business Conditions and Outlook

In terms of top–line growth, we continued to experience a healthy demand for our goods and services particularly in North America during the first quarter of 2023. Higher demand in FoodTech is driven by customer needs, particularly for aftermarket parts and services.On the AeroTech side, a continued recovery in passenger airline industry has led the passenger traffic to reach the pre-pandemic levels in North America. This has led to record high orders for our AeroTech goods and services. Looking ahead, we anticipate revenue growth in both segments through 2023 due to continued momentum in overall customer demand for our products and services and a record backlog entering into 2023.

Our operating margins improved in the quarter as a result of actions we have taken so far to mitigate the impacts of supply chain disruptions, high inflation, and labor availability affecting both FoodTech and AeroTech. We expect these trends to continue, as we take further actions that includes price increases, productivity improvements, and strategic sourcing initiatives. Additionally, we have continued to enhance our internal operating efficiency with the ongoing benefits of our restructuring programs.

Total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2023 increased $60.3 million compared to the same period in 2022. Organic revenue grew $36.5 million in the period, acquisitions provided additional revenue of $34.2 million, and foreign currency translation was unfavorable by $10.4 million in the period compared to the prior year. Growth from organic revenue was the result of increases in recurring revenue partially offset by a marginal decrease in volume for non-recurring revenue.

Operating income margin was 7.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to 6.5% in the same period in 2022, an increase of 110 bps, as a result of the following drivers:

Gross profit margin increased 20 bps to 29.9% compared to 29.7% in the same period last year. This increase was driven primarily by higher pricing and leveraging of fixed costs on higher volume year over year, partially offset by higher LIFO expense resulting from the on-going inflationary environment.
Selling, general and administrative expense increased $9.4 million from prior year, and as a percent of revenue decreased 80 bps to 22.3% compared to 23.1% in the same period last year. This was due to a decrease in M&A related costs, and leveraging of fixed costs as revenue increased year-over-year, partially off-set by higher costs related to the implementation of the OmniBluTM platform and incentive compensation.
Currency translation decreased operating income by $1.5 million.

Increase in net interest expense was primarily due to higher interest rates as well as a higher average debt balance to fund the
acquisitions we made in the third quarter of 2022.

The Company's tax rate was 21.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to 10.2% in the same period in 2022. The tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was favorably impacted by discrete items totaling $3.2 million, primarily driven by a $1.5 million tax benefit from the UK patent box regime and a $1.4 million tax benefit from the resolution of Brazilian tax litigation. There were no significant discrete items recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2023

FoodTech

FoodTech revenue increased by $32.2 million or 9% for the first quarter ended March 31, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022. Revenue from acquisitions contributed $34.2 million and organic revenue grew $7.7 million in the period. Foreign currency translation was unfavorable by $9.6 million in the quarter. Organic revenue growth of $7.7 million on a constant currency basis was due to additional recurring revenue of $28.9 million, partially offset by a decrease in non-recurring revenue of $21.2 million in the quarter compared to the same period in 2022.

FoodTech operating profit increased $6.4 million or 16.0% year over year, including an unfavorable foreign currency translation of $1.6 million during the period. Gross profit margins increased ~70 bps year over year contributing to a higher operating profit margin of 11.9% in 2023 compared to 11.2% in the prior year. Operating and gross profit margins increased year over year primarily due to a higher mix of organic revenue growth from higher-margin recurring revenue compared to non-recurring revenue. Selling, general and administrative expense increased $7.6 million from prior year, including $6.0 million from acquired companies, but as a percent of revenue was comparable to prior year at 22.4%.

AeroTech

JBT AeroTech's revenue increased $28.1 million or 24.9% in the first quarter of 2023 compared to the same period in 2022. This increase is comprised of a $19.6 million increase from our mobile equipment business, a $7.5 million increase in our fixed equipment business and a $1.6 million increase from our service business. Foreign currency translation was unfavorable by $0.5 million. The increase in our mobile equipment business was driven by higher equipment and aftermarket sales as a result of the continued industry recovery from COVID-19. The increase in our fixed equipment business was primarily due to strong demand from domestic customers for equipment and aftermarket. The increase in service revenue was a result of a net increase in revenue from new maintenance contracts.

JBT AeroTech’s operating profit increased $6.4 million or 94.1% in the first quarter of 2023 compared to 2022. AeroTech’s operating profit margin was 9.4% compared to 6.0% in the prior year, reflecting an increase of 340 bps. Gross profit margins increased 150 bps driven by higher pricing and leveraging of fixed costs on higher volumes. Selling, general and administrative expenses in 2023 were $0.9 million above 2022 but down 180 bps as a percent of revenue. Currency translation had an immaterial impact.

Corporate Expense

Corporate expense increased $3.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022. The increase was driven primarily by higher LIFO expense, incentive compensation, and expense related to implementation of the OmniBluTM platform, partially offset by lower M&A related costs.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measure

We present certain financial information on a constant currency basis in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q to 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. 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.

Restructuring

In the third quarter of 2022, the Company implemented a restructuring plan (the "2022/2023 restructuring plan") to optimize the overall FoodTech cost structure on a global basis. The initiatives under this plan will include streamlining operations and our general and administrative infrastructure. As of March 31, 2023, the Company recognized restructuring charges of $6.0 million, net of a cumulative release of the related liability of $1.3 million. We estimate the total cost of full implementation will be in the range of $8.0 million to $10.0 million expected to be recognized by the end of 2023.

The following table details the cumulative amount of annualized savings and incremental savings for the 2022/2023 restructuring plan:
Cumulative AmountIncremental AmountCumulative Amount
(In millions)As of
December 31, 2022

Cost of sales$0.1 $0.5 $0.6 
Selling, general and administrative0.1 1.0 1.1 
Total restructuring savings$0.2 $1.5 $1.7 

Cumulative savings for the 2022/2023 restructuring plan is in the range of $9.0 million to $12.0 million with a range of $5.0 million to $6.0 million expected to be realized for the full year 2023 and the remainder in 2024.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview of Sources and Uses of Cash

Our primary sources of liquidity are cash flows provided by operating activities from our U.S. and foreign operations, borrowings from our revolving credit facility, and proceeds from the issuance of the convertible notes on May 28, 2021.

As of March 31, 2023, we had $45.7 million of cash and cash equivalents, $39.5 million of which was held by our foreign subsidiaries. Although certain 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 tax and foreign withholding taxes. The foreign withholding taxes on these repatriations to the U.S. would potentially be partially offset by U.S. foreign tax credits.

As noted above, certain funds held outside of the U.S. are considered permanently invested in our non-U.S. subsidiaries. At times, these foreign subsidiaries have cash balances that exceed their immediate working capital or other cash needs. In these circumstances, the foreign subsidiaries may loan funds to the U.S. parent company on a temporary basis; the U.S. parent company has in the past and may in the future use the proceeds of these temporary intercompany loans to reduce outstanding borrowings under our committed credit facilities. By using available non-U.S. cash to repay our debt on a short-term basis, we can optimize our leverage ratio, which has the effect of lowering our interest costs.
Beginning in 2022, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 eliminated the option to deduct research and development expenditures immediately in the year incurred and required taxpayers to amortize such expenditures in the U.S. over five years. As a result, we expect an adverse impact of approximately $20 million to our cash from operations in 2023. The impact will continue over the next four-year amortization period but decrease each year.
For the three months ended March 31, 2023, we had total operating cash flow of $21.6 million. For full year 2023, we expect to generate positive cash flows. Our liquidity as of March 31, 2023, or cash plus borrowing ability under our revolving credit facilities, was $542.8 million.

27


The cash flows generated by our operations and borrowings are expected to be sufficient to satisfy our principal cash requirements that include our working capital needs, new product development, restructuring expenses, capital expenditures, income taxes, debt repayments, dividends, periodic pension contributions, and other financing arrangements.

Based on our current capital allocation objectives, during 2023, we anticipate capital expenditures to be between $60 million and $70 million, which includes about $12 million to $14 million of continued capitalized investment in our digital platform OmniBluTM. Our level of capital expenditures varies from time to time as a result of actual and anticipated business conditions. We believe JBT's strong balance sheet, operating cash flows, and access to capital as of March 31, 2023, positions us to successfully navigate through the current challenging economic conditions as we continue to invest in growth strategies including our acquisition program and new product development.

Cash Flows

Cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 were as follows:
Three Months Ended March 31,
(In millions)20232022
Cash provided by operating activities$21.6 $39.1 
Cash required by investing activities(18.9)(27.0)
Cash required by financing activities(30.0)(7.6)
Effect of foreign exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents(0.1)0.9 
(Decrease) increase in cash and cash equivalents$(27.4)$5.4 

Cash provided by operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $21.6 million, representing a $17.5 million decrease compared to the same period in 2022. This decrease was driven primarily by a continued investment in inventory, an increase in payments of accounts payable, and lower customer collection of advance payments, partially offset by higher customer collections for trade receivables and lower pension contributions.

Cash required by investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $(18.9) million, a decrease of $8.1 million compared to the same period in 2022, primarily due to lower spending on capital expenditures partially offset by higher M&A related costs year over year.

Cash required by financing activities of $(30.0) million during the three months ended March 31, 2023, an increase of $22.4 million compared to same period in 2022. This increase was primarily due to higher debt repayments for our revolving credit facility year over year.

Financing Arrangements

As of March 31, 2023 we had $563.0 million drawn on and $730.6 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 restrictive 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. Restrictive covenants include a minimum interest coverage ratio, a maximum leverage ratio, as well as certain events of default. As of March 31, 2023, 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.

On May 28, 2021, we closed a private offering of $402.5 million aggregate principal amount of the Company's 0.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 to qualified institutional buyers, resulting in net proceeds to us of approximately $392.2 million after deducting initial purchasers’ discounts. The convertible notes will mature on May 15, 2026 unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased. Concurrently with the issuance of the Notes, we entered into the convertible note hedge transactions that reduce potential dilution upon conversion of the Notes and entered into the warrant transactions to raise additional capital to partially offset the costs of entering into the Note hedge transactions.

For additional information about our convertible secured notes, convertible note hedge and warrant transactions, refer to Note 6. Debt of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
28



As of March 31, 2023, we have 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 March 31, 2023, a significant portion of our total outstanding debt of $965.5 million effectively remains fixed rate debt, with the Convertible Senior Notes subject to a fixed rate of 0.25% and a portion of revolving credit facility subject to an average fixed rate of 0.82%. Approximately $313.0 million, or 32%, 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.
