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 industries. The Company designs, produces and services sophisticated products and systems for multi-national and regional customers. 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.
Discontinued Operations
On August 1, 2023, the Company completed the sale of its former AeroTech business segment ("AeroTech") to Oshkosh Corporation, a Wisconsin corporation (the "Purchaser") in exchange for cash consideration of $808.2 million, (the "Transaction"). The Transaction was made pursuant to the Stock and Asset Purchase Agreement ("Purchase Agreement"), dated May 26, 2023, by and between the Company and the Purchaser to sell AeroTech and is subject to post-closing purchase price adjustments under the Purchase Agreement. As a result, the financial results of AeroTech have been presented as discontinued operations in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for all periods presented. The assets and liabilities of AeroTech are reflected as assets and liabilities of discontinued operations on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for prior periods presented. The operating results and cash flows of AeroTech have been reported through July 31, 2023, the date immediately prior to the closing date of the Transaction. Amounts pertaining to results of operations, financial condition and cash flows throughout the document are from the Company's continuing operations unless otherwise noted. Refer to Note 2, Discontinued Operations, for further discussion.
Business Segments
The Company has determined that it operates in a single reportable segment for continuing operations, with the AeroTech reporting segment considered as a discontinued operation as of June 30, 2023. The Company's Chief Executive Officer is the chief operating decision maker (CODM), who reviews the Company's financial information presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating the Company's financial performance. The key measures reviewed by the CODM for these purposes are most notably Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations and Adjusted EBITDA margin from continuing operations. Adjusted EBITDA is EBITDA adjusted for items that are not reflective of ongoing operations.
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.
Marketable Securities
The Company invests portions of its excess cash in different marketable securities, which are classified as held-to-maturity debt securities, as we have the intent and ability to hold them to their maturity dates. The marketable securities are comprised of a certificate of deposit with a maturity date of less than 1 year. The marketable securities are recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at amortized cost and interest income is recorded as it is earned within interest expense, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
Equity Method Investment
During the third quarter of 2023 the Company acquired an equity method investment for $10.4 million in InnospeXion ApS, a Danish company, which was recorded in other assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company uses the equity method of accounting when it has significant influence or when it has more than a minor ownership interest or minor influence over an investee's operations, but does not have a controlling financial interest. Initial investments are recorded at cost (including certain transaction costs) and are adjusted by the Company's share of the investee's undistributed earnings and losses. The Company evaluates its equity method investments for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of such investments may not be recoverable.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform—Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (“ASU No. 2020-04”). ASU No. 2020-04 provides that an entity can elect not to apply certain required modification accounting in U.S. GAAP to contracts where all changes to the critical terms relate to reference rate reform (e.g., the expected discontinuance of LIBOR and the transition to an alternative reference interest rate, etc.). In addition, the rule provides optional expedients and exceptions that enable entities to continue to apply hedge accounting for hedging relationships where one or more of the critical terms change due to reference rate reform. The rule became effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 and is set to expire after December 31, 2024 as per ASU No. 2022-06, issued in December 2022. During 2023, the Company adopted the practical expedient provided under ASU 2020-04 related to its debt and interest rate swap arrangements and as such, any amendments are treated as a continuation of the existing agreements and no gain or loss on the modification is recorded.
NOTE 2. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
As disclosed in Note 1, on August 1, 2023, the Company completed the sale of AeroTech to the Purchaser in exchange for cash consideration of $808.2 million. The Transaction was completed pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, dated May 26, 2023, by and between the Company and Purchaser to sell AeroTech and is subject to post-closing purchase price adjustments under the Purchase Agreement. The Company recognized a gain on the Transaction of $444.1 million, net of $143.4 million of taxes, which is recognized in Income from discontinued operations within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for both the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2023. The sale of AeroTech supports the Company's strategy to become a pure-play food and beverage solutions provider.
In connection with the Transaction, the Company and the Purchaser entered into a Transition Services Agreement (the "TSA") for the provision of information technology related services for 12 months and of other services for up to 6 months to support the transition of the AeroTech business, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein. In addition, the TSA provides the Purchaser options to extend the term for information technology related services for up to another 6 months. TSA income is recognized as services are performed, and the income earned is recorded in Selling, general and administrative expense within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income to offset the costs incurred to support the TSA.

NOTE 3. ACQUISITIONS
During fiscal year 2022, the Company acquired 100% of the voting equity of two businesses. The Company did not make any acquisitions during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. A summary of the acquisitions made during 2022 is as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Date | | Type | | Company/Product Line | | Location (Near) |
September 1, 2022 | | Stock | | Bevcorp, LLC ("Bevcorp") | | Eastlake, Ohio |
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, 2022 | | Stock | | Alco-food-machines GmbH & Co. KG ("Alco") | | Bad Iburg, Germany |
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. |
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.

Total interest expense | $ | 0.9 | | | $ | 0.8 | | | $ | 2.5 | | | $ | 2.4 | |
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 September 30, 2023.
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.

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

The revenue recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 that was included in contract liabilities at the beginning of the period amounted to $143.1 million and $122.6 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 11. 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:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| As of September 30, 2023 | | As of December 31, 2022 |

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, 2023, $2.8 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 investments are reported separately in other assets on the Balance Sheet. Investments include an unrealized gain of $1.1 million and an unrealized loss of $3.9 million as of September 30, 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 $362.3 million as of September 30, 2023.
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and payables, marketable securities, 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 12. 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 September 30, 2023 of $784.7 million, as hedges and therefore does not apply hedge accounting.
The fair values of our foreign currency derivative assets are recorded within other current assets and other assets, and the fair values of foreign currency derivative liabilities are recorded within other current liabilities and other liabilities. The following table presents the fair value of foreign currency derivatives and embedded derivatives included within the Balance Sheet:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| As of September 30, 2023 | | As of December 31, 2022 |

Total | $ | 8.1 | | | $ | 4.2 | | | $ | 4.5 | | | $ | 7.2 | |
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 September 30, 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 SOFR rates 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 September 30, 2023, the fair value of these derivatives designated as cash flow hedges were recorded in the Balance Sheet as other assets of $16.8 million and as accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax, of $12.4 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: In July 2018, the Company entered into cross currency swap agreements that synthetically swap $116.4 million of fixed rate debt to Euro denominated fixed rate debt. The agreements were designated as net investment hedges for accounting purposes. Accordingly, the gains or losses on these derivative instruments were included in the foreign currency translation component of other comprehensive income. The agreements matured in July 2023 resulting in cash proceeds and a gain of $5.8 million that is recognized in Accumulated other comprehensive loss on the Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2023. 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 $0.1 million and $0.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $1.5 million and $2.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
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 11. 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 September 30, 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.
NOTE 13. LEASES

Refer to Note 16. Related Party Transactions for details of operating lease agreements with related parties.
NOTE 14. 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 arbitration, 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 $17.1 million at September 30, 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 eighty-five percent of the contract values. In addition, the Company generally retains recourse to the equipment sold. As of September 30, 2023, the gross value of such arrangements was $2.1 million, of which the Company's net exposure under such guarantees was $0.4 million.
The Company provides warranties of various lengths and terms to certain customers based on standard terms and conditions and negotiated agreements. The Company provides for the estimated cost of warranties at the time revenue is recognized for products where reliable, historical experience of warranty claims and costs 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 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 all other restructuring charges are reported as Restructuring expenses in the Statements of Income.
In the third quarter of 2022, the Company implemented a restructuring plan (the "2022/2023 restructuring plan") to optimize the overall cost structure for the Company on a global basis. The initiatives under this plan include streamlining operations and enhancing our general and administrative infrastructure. As of September 30, 2023, the Company recognized restructuring charges of $15.1 million, net of a cumulative release of the related liability of $2.9 million. The total estimated cost, net of releases was revised in the prior quarter from $8.0 million to $10.0 million to a range of $16.0 million to $18.0 million, all of which is expected to be recognized by the end of 2023. These changes are due to additional actions being taken to support our streamlining operations under this plan.
The following table details the cumulative restructuring charges reported in operating income for the 2022/2023 restructuring plan since the implementation of this plan:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

The Company released $2.4 million of the liability during the nine months ended September 30, 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 September 30, 2023, the operating lease right-of-use asset and the lease liability related to these agreements is $3.6 million and $3.8 million, respectively.

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 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 us 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.
On August 1, 2023, we completed the sale of the AeroTech business segment ("AeroTech"). This sale was completed pursuant to the Stock and Asset Purchase Agreement, dated May 26, 2023, to sell AeroTech to Oshkosh Corporation. This divestiture supports the Company's strategy to become a pure-play food and beverage solutions provider. For additional information, refer to Note 2. Discontinued Operations of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
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 equipment and technologies continue to deliver quality performance while striving to minimize food waste, extend food product life, support customer sustainability objectives, and maximize efficiency in order to create shared value for our food and beverage customers. 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.
Business Conditions and Outlook
In terms of orders within our continuing operations, we saw the demand environment improving in Europe and Asia Pacific markets while softening in in North America as a result of poultry and meat markets. Higher demand in the current quarter was driven by customer needs for aftermarket parts and services as well as new equipment. The overall demand environment remains mixed and challenging due to uncertain geopolitical conditions and higher interest rates impacting our customers globally. We are seeing healthier dynamics in the poultry end markets, which are expected to translate to improved order activity in the fourth quarter and into 2024.
Looking forward, we continue to focus on optimizing our opportunities as a pure-play food and beverage technology company, seeking out ways to deploy capital to acquire businesses that complement existing operations, as well as expanding our end markets to build a compelling portfolio of solutions for our customers.
Our operating margins for continuing operations have improved in the quarter as a result of price increases, savings from our restructuring plan and benefits from our sourcing initiatives. We expect operating margins to continue to improve as we implement additional strategic sourcing and productivity initiatives and realize incremental benefits from our previously announced restructuring program.
Components of Results of Operations
Revenue
We derive our revenue from sales or operating leases of equipment as well as sales of related aftermarket goods and services and software. Revenue from equipment and software licenses is considered as non-recurring, whereas revenue from aftermarket goods and services, re-build service for customer-owned equipment, operating lease of equipment, and subscription-based software applications is considered as recurring.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales are costs that are directly related to manufacturing equipment or parts we sell, providing services that generate service revenue, and other direct costs incurred to fulfill contracts with the customer. Costs includes direct costs, such as labor and raw materials and indirect costs such as manufacturing overhead and amortization of capitalized software to be sold, and patents and acquired technology intangible assets.
Selling, General and Administrative
Selling expense primarily consists of employee-related expenses for sales, marketing and public relations employees. Selling expense also includes trade show, market research, advertising and other related external marketing expense as well as office and software related costs to support sales.
General and administrative expense consists of employee-related expenses, stock based compensation and other expenses that support finance, human resource, legal, and internal-use information technology functions at our business units and our corporate offices. General and administrative expense incurred at our corporate offices, including the impact of unusual or strategic events not representative of segment operations, as well as stock based compensation for all employees are considered as our corporate expenses.
Restructuring expense
Restructuring expense consists of costs from our 2022/2023 Restructuring Plan. For additional financial information about restructuring, refer to Note 15. Restructuring of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Pension expense, other than service costs
Pension expense, other than service costs are related to our domestic and foreign defined benefit pension and other post-employment benefit plans.
Interest Expense, net
Interest expense, net consists of interest expense on our outstanding debt obligations including amortization of debt discounts and offering costs, partially offset by any interest income earned.

Revenue
Total revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2023 increased $4.8 million compared to the same period in 2022. Acquisitions provided additional revenue of $11.0 million, partially offset by a decline in organic revenue by $8.3 million in the period, and foreign currency translation was favorable by $2.1 million in the period compared to the prior year. The decline in organic revenue was the result of a decrease in volume for non-recurring revenue, partially offset by higher pricing and an increase in volume for recurring revenue.
Gross Profit and Gross Profit Margin
Gross profit margin increased 170 bps to 35.7% compared to 34.0% in the same period last year. This increase was driven primarily by higher pricing, savings from our restructuring plan and supply chain efforts, and favorable mix of higher recurring revenue, partially offset by the lost leverage of fixed costs from lower volume for non-recurring revenue year over year.
Selling, general and administrative expense
Selling, general and administrative expense increased $2.3 million from prior year, and as a percent of revenue increased by 20 bps to 25.1% compared to 24.9% in the same period last year. This increase in Selling, general and administrative expense is the result of higher incentive compensation expense accruals as well as higher relative expenses from recently acquired companies, including higher amortization costs of acquired intangible assets. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in M&A related costs and costs related to the implementation of the OmniBluTM platform.
Interest expense, net
Interest expense, net decreased $2.3 million compared to same period last year. This decrease is due to lower average debt balance reducing overall interest expense as well as higher interest income on cash on hand from sale proceeds of AeroTech.
Income tax provision
The Company's tax rate from continuing operations was 12.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to 18.3% in the same period in 2022. The tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was favorably impacted by discrete items totaling $2.9 million, primarily driven by benefits from prior year tax returns.The tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was favorably impacted by discrete items totaling $0.9 million, primarily driven by benefits from prior year tax returns.
Income from continuing operations and Adjusted EBITDA
Income from continuing operations for the three months ended September 30, 2023 increased to $30.5 million compared to $25.7 million for the same period in 2022, representing an increase of $4.8 million. Adjusted EBITDA was $66.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $60.6 million during the same period in 2022, representing an increase of $5.7 million. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily driven by a higher gross profit partially offset by a higher selling, general and administrative expense, excluding the impacts of our depreciation, amortization and acquisition and integration costs.
Income from discontinued operations
For the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, we recognized income from discontinued operations, net of income taxes, of $437.1 million and $8.5 million, respectively. The results of our discontinued operations for both quarterly periods include the operations of our AeroTech business. The results of our discontinued operations for the three months ended September 30, 2023, also includes a $444.1 million gain from the sale of AeroTech, net of tax, that was completed during the third quarter of 2023.

Revenue
Total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 increased $70.7 million compared to the same period in 2022. Acquisitions provided additional revenue of $76.8 million, organic revenue grew $6.2 million in the period, and foreign currency translation was unfavorable by $12.3 million in the period compared to the prior year. Growth from organic revenue was the result of higher pricing as well as increase in volume for recurring revenue partially offset by a decrease in volume for non-recurring revenue.
Gross Profit
Gross profit margin increased 120 bps to 34.6% compared to 33.4% in the same period last year. This increase was driven primarily by higher pricing, savings from our restructuring plan, and favorable mix higher recurring revenue, partially offset by the lost leverage of fixed costs from lower volume year over year and higher LIFO expense resulting from the on-going inflationary environment.
Selling, general and administrative expense
Selling, general and administrative expense increased $14.3 million from prior year, but as a percent of revenue decreased 20 bps to 25.1% compared to 25.3% in the same period last year. This increase in Selling, general and administrative expense is a result of higher incentive compensation expense accruals and higher relative expenses from recently acquired companies, including higher amortization costs of acquired intangible assets, as well as higher costs related to the implementation of the OmniBluTM platform. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in M&A related costs.
Interest expense, net
Interest expense, net increased $7.4 million compared to same period last year. This increase 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. These were partially offset by higher interest income on cash on hand from the proceeds of the sale of AeroTech in 2023.
Income tax provision
The Company's tax rate from continuing operations was 18.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to 13.7% in the same period in 2022. The tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was favorably impacted by discrete items totaling $2.7 million, primarily driven by benefits from prior year tax returns. The tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was favorably impacted by discrete items totaling $6.0 million, primarily driven by benefits from stock based compensation, the UK patent box regime, and Brazilian tax litigation.
Income from continuing operations and Adjusted EBITDA
Income from continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 increased to $74.6 million compared to $71.3 million for the same period in 2022, representing an increase of $3.3 million. Adjusted EBITDA was $192.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $158.9 million during the same period in 2022, representing an increase of $33.2 million. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily driven by a higher gross profit partially offset by a higher selling, general and administrative expense, excluding the impacts of our depreciation, amortization, and acquisition, and integration costs.
Income from discontinued operations
For the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, we recognized income from discontinued operations, net of income taxes, of $449.6 million and $21.9 million, respectively. The results of our discontinued operations for both nine month periods include the operations of our AeroTech business. The results of our discontinued operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, also includes a $444.1 million gain from the sale of AeroTech, net of tax, that was completed during the third quarter of 2023.
Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures
The key measures reviewed by the CODM for allocating resources and evaluating financial performance of our ongoing operations are most notably Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations and Adjusted EBITDA margin from continuing operations. These non-GAAP financial measures adjust for certain amounts that are otherwise included or excluded from a measure calculated under US GAAP. By adjusting for 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. We also believe that these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors as a way to evaluate and compare our operating performance against peers in the Company's industry. The adjustments generally fall within the following categories: restructuring related costs, M&A related costs, pension-related costs, constant currency adjustments and other major items affecting comparability of our ongoing operating results. The definition of Adjusted EBITDA used here may differ from that used by other companies.
The following table presents a reconciliation of the Company's reported Income from continuing operations to Adjusted EBITDA.

(1) Costs incurred as a direct result of the restructuring program are excluded because they are not part of the ongoing operations of our underlying business.
(2) Pension expense, other than service cost is excluded as it represents all non service-related pension expense, which consists of non-cash interest cost, expected return on plan assets and amortization of actuarial gains and losses.
(3) M&A related costs include integration costs, amortization of inventory step-up from business combinations, earn out adjustments to fair value, advisory and transaction costs for both potential and completed M&A transactions and strategy. M&A related costs are excluded as they are not part of the ongoing operations of our underlying business.
(4) The impact of LIFO charges are excluded because it reduces volatility that is not reflective of our operations and allows for better comparability to our peers.
We also present certain financial information on a constant currency basis 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 our overall cost structure on a global basis. The initiatives under this plan includes streamlining operations and our general and administrative infrastructure. As of September 30, 2023, we recognized restructuring charges of $15.1 million, net of a cumulative release of the related liability of $2.9 million. The total estimated cost, net of releases was revised in the prior quarter from $8.0 million to $10.0 million to a range of $16.0 million to $18.0 million, all of which is expected to be recognized by the end of 2023. These changes are due to additional actions being taken to support our streamlining operations under this plan.
The following table details the cumulative amount of annualized savings and incremental savings for the 2022/2023 restructuring plan:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Cumulative Amount | | Incremental Amount | | Cumulative Amount |

Total restructuring savings | $ | 0.2 | | | $ | 1.5 | | | $ | 2.1 | | | $ | 3.5 | | | $ | 7.3 | |
Cumulative savings for the 2022/2023 restructuring plan were revised in the prior quarter from the range of $9.0 million to $12.0 million to a range of $18.0 million to $20.0 million to reflect the impact of additional actions being taken to streamline operations. Full year 2023 savings were revised in the prior quarter from $5.0 million to $6.0 million to a range of $9.0 million to $10.0 million and the remainder will be realized 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. We completed the sale of our AeroTech business on August 1, 2023 and received proceeds of $808.2 million. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, we used the proceeds to repay $305.4 million of our debt, to pay $15.4 million for transaction costs related to the sale of AeroTech and to make a $9.0 million contribution to our U.S. qualified pension plan. We expect to use the remaining net proceeds from the transaction to pay approximately $143.4 million in tax on the gain from the sale of AeroTech, which is expected to be paid by the end of 2023, and for our stated capital allocation priorities, including continued disciplined inorganic growth for the Company.
As of September 30, 2023, we had $401.7 million of cash and cash equivalents, $39.9 million of which was held by our foreign subsidiaries, and $125 million in highly-liquid marketable securities. 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 $15 million to our cash from continuing operations in 2023. The impact will continue over the remaining four-year amortization period but decrease each year.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we had total operating cash flow of $95.6 million. For full year 2023, we expect to generate positive cash flows. Our liquidity as of September 30, 2023, or cash plus borrowing ability under our revolving credit facilities, was $1.19 billion.
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 $50 million and $60 million, which includes about $12 million to $14 million of continued capitalized investment in our OmniBluTM digital platform. 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 September 30, 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 nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| Nine Months Ended September 30, |
(In millions) | 2023 | | 2022 |
Cash provided by continuing operating activities | $ | 95.6 | | | $ | 87.0 | |
Cash provided by (required by) continuing investing activities | 612.7 | | | (392.1) | |
Cash (required by) provided by continuing financing activities | (345.7) | | | 298.6 | |
Effect of foreign exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents | (2.6) | | | (4.9) | |
Net increase (decrease) in cash from continuing operations | $ | 360.0 | | | $ | (11.4) | |
Cash provided by continuing operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $95.6 million, representing a $8.6 million increase compared to the same period in 2022. This increase was driven primarily by increased customer collections of trade receivables and reduced inventory investment. The operating cash inflows were partially offset by increased payments on accounts payable, lower customer collections of advanced payments, and increased pension contributions.
Cash provided by investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $612.7 million, an increase of $1.0 billion compared to the same period in 2022. The increase is primarily from the proceeds received on the sale of the AeroTech business, lower spending on acquisitions and capital expenditures year over year, partially offset by purchase of marketable securities in the current period with the proceeds form the AeroTech sale.
Cash required by financing activities was $345.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, representing an increase in cash outflows of $644.3 million compared to same period in 2022. This increase in cash outflows year over year was primarily due to higher debt repayments for our revolving credit facility in the current period with proceeds from the AeroTech sale compared to higher borrowings from our credit facility to fund acquisitions during the same period in 2022.
Financing Arrangements
As of September 30, 2023 we had $250.0 million drawn on and $1.04 billion 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 September 30, 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 7. Debt of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
As of September 30, 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 September 30, 2023, all of our total outstanding debt of $652.5 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 0.76% in addition to the premium charged for the credit spread on our revolving credit facility.
