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, 2023, 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"). All prior period results from the operations of AeroTech have been reclassified as discontinued operations. 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.

Proposed Merger with Marel hf.

On April 4, 2024, the Company entered into a definitive agreement (the "Transaction Agreement") related to JBT’s previously announced intention to make a voluntary takeover offer (the "Offer") for all of the issued and outstanding shares of Marel hf. ("Marel"). The Transaction Agreement includes the terms of the Offer and other important governance, social, and operating items relating to the proposed business combination of JBT and Marel (the "Marel Transaction"). On June 24, 2024, the Offer was launched, providing Marel shareholders until September 2, 2024 to tender their shares, unless such offer period is extended in accordance with the terms of the Transaction Agreement and applicable laws. On August 8, 2024, JBT will hold a special meeting of its stockholders to, among other things, vote on a proposal to approve the issuance of newly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of the Company’s common stock (the “JBT Offer Shares”) to Marel shareholders in connection with the Marel Transaction.

In the Offer, Marel shareholders may exchange each Marel Share, at their election, for (i) cash consideration in the amount of EUR 3.60, (ii) stock consideration consisting of 0.0407 newly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable JBT Offer Shares or (iii) cash consideration in the amount of EUR 1.26 along with stock consideration consisting of 0.0265 newly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable JBT Offer Shares. Elections will be subject to a proration process, such that the Marel shareholders immediately prior to the closing of the Offer will receive an aggregate of approximately EUR 950 million in cash and approximately a 38 percent interest in the combined company. The Marel Transaction, which is expected to close by the end of 2024, is subject to the receipt of the required regulatory approvals and the other customary closing conditions.

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.

Change in Accounting Principle

During the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company changed its methodology for valuing certain inventories to the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") cost method from the last-in, first-out ("LIFO") cost method. The effects of the change in accounting principle have been retrospectively applied to all periods presented. This change has no impact on our results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. Refer to Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, for further information related to the change in accounting principle.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-07, Segment Reporting - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures ("ASU 2023-07"). The amendments in ASU 2023-07 improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. In addition, the amendments enhance interim disclosure requirements, clarify circumstances in which an entity can disclose multiple segment profit and loss measures, and provide new segment disclosure requirements for entities with a single reportable segment. The amendments in ASU 2023-07 will be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements and are effective for the Company for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2024, and interim periods beginning on and after January 1, 2025, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the effect of adopting ASU 2023-07 on its disclosures.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes - Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which amends Topic 740, Income Taxes ("ASU 2023-09"). ASU 2023-09 improves the transparency of income tax disclosures by requiring (1) consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and (2) income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. It also includes certain other amendments to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures. The amendments in ASU 2023-09 will become effective for the Company as of January 1, 2025 and will be applied on a prospective basis with the option to apply the standard retrospectively. The Company is evaluating the effect of adopting ASU 2023-09 on its disclosures.

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") and recognized a gain on the Transaction of $443.7 million, net of $131.4 million of income taxes.

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 provided the Purchaser options to extend the term for information technology related services for up to another 6 months. Services under the TSA are expected to be completed and the TSA effectively concluded in the third quarter of 2024. 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. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company's cash inflows from the Purchaser related to the TSA was $3.9 million.

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 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2024.

Warrant Transactions

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.

Bridge Credit Agreement

In connection with the Marel Transaction, on April 4, 2024, the Company entered into a bridge credit agreement with certain financial institutions (the "Bridge Credit Agreement") that committed to provide the Company with secured bridge financing in an aggregate principal amount of €1.9 billion. During the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recognized $1.2 million of financing cost associated with the Bridge Credit Agreement, primarily in Interest expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

If drawn, loans under the Bridge Credit Agreement accrue interest at the Euro Interbank Offered Rate plus 2.25% per annum, increasing by 0.50% per annum at the end of the first 90 day period after the initial borrowing date and by an additional 0.50% per annum at the end of each 90 day period thereafter until the maturity date of the Bridge Credit Agreement. Any such drawn amounts and the amount of the undrawn and available commitments are also subject to a duration fee that accrues daily at a rate of 0.75% for the period of time from 90 days after the initial borrowing date until the 180th day after the initial borrowing date, 1.00% for the period of time from 180 days after the initial borrowing date until the 270th day after the initial borrowing date and 1.25% for the period of time from 270 days after the initial borrowing date until the maturity date of the Bridge Credit Agreement. The maturity of the Bridge Credit Agreement is 364 days after the initial borrowing of any loans thereunder. The Company may voluntarily prepay outstanding loans under the Bridge Credit Agreement, if drawn, at any time without premium or penalty.

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 June 30, 2024 and 2023 by component are shown in the following tables:


(In millions)	Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits (1)		Derivatives Designated as Hedges (1)		Foreign Currency Translation		Total (1)

NOTE 8. REVENUE RECOGNITION

Transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations

The Company has estimated that $697.2 million in revenue is expected to be recognized in future periods related to remaining performance obligations from the Company's contracts with customers outstanding as of June 30, 2024. The Company expects to complete these obligations and recognize 69% as revenue in 2024, 28% as revenue in 2025, and the remainder after 2025.

Disaggregation of Revenue

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

Over Time	206.5		210.8		405.2		397.4
Total	402.3		427.7		794.6		816.2

(1) Recurring revenue includes revenue from aftermarket parts and services, re-build services on customer owned equipment, operating leases of equipment, and subscription-based software applications. Non-recurring revenue includes new equipment and installation and the sale of software licenses.

(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 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as Contract assets and within Advance and progress payments, respectively, on a contract-by-contract net basis at the end of each reporting period.

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


	Balances as of
(In millions)	June 30, 2024		December 31, 2023
Contract Assets	$	83.1	$	74.5
Contract Liabilities	139.2		156.5

	June 30, 2023		December 31, 2022
Contract Assets	66.3		65.1
Contract Liabilities	182.8		161.2

The revenue recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 that was included in contract liabilities at the beginning of the period amounted to $114.6 million and $112.0 million, respectively. The remainder of the change from December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 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 9. EARNINGS PER SHARE

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share from net income for the respective periods and basic and diluted shares outstanding:

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.

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


	As of June 30, 2024								As of December 31, 2023
(In millions)	Total		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Assets:
Investments	$	12.5	$	12.5	$	—	$	—	$	10.8	$	10.8	$	—	$	—
Derivatives	14.8		—		14.8		—		25.9		—		25.9		—
Total assets	$	27.3	$	12.5	$	14.8	$	—	$	36.7	$	10.8	$	25.9	$	—
Liabilities:
Derivatives	$	4.7	$	—	$	4.7	$	—	$	3.0	$	—	$	3.0	$	—
Total liabilities	$	4.7	$	—	$	4.7	$	—	$	3.0	$	—	$	3.0	$	—

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 June 30, 2024, $1.0 million of investments are recorded in Other current assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets related to investments that are expected to be redeemed within the next twelve months. The remaining investments are reported separately in Other assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Investments include an unrealized gain of $0.9 million and $1.7 million as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, 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 $366.7 million as of June 30, 2024.

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 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets 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 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets 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 the 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 one year in managing this foreign exchange rate risk. The Company has not designated these forward foreign exchange contracts, which had a notional value at June 30, 2024 of $551.9 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 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets:


	As of June 30, 2024				As of December 31, 2023
(In millions)	Derivative Assets		Derivative Liabilities		Derivative Assets		Derivative Liabilities
Total	$	5.9	$	4.7	$	13.6	$	3.0

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 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, information related to these offsetting arrangements was as follows:


(In millions)	As of June 30, 2024
Offsetting of Assets	Gross Amounts of Recognized Assets		Gross Amounts Offset in the Consolidated Balance Sheets		Net Presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheets		Amount Subject to Master Netting Agreement		Net Amount
Derivatives	$	14.6	$	—	$	14.6	$	(3.4)	$	11.2

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 June 30, 2024, the fair value of these derivatives designated as cash flow hedges is recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as Other current assets of $8.9 million and as Accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax, of $6.6 million. At December 31, 2023, the fair value of these derivatives designated as cash flow hedges is recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as Other assets of $12.3 million and as Accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax, of $9.2 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 June 30, 2024, 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 12. LEASES

The following table provides the required information regarding operating and sales-type leases for which the Company is lessor.


	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
(In millions)	2024		2023		2024		2023
Fixed payment revenue	$	17.1	$	16.5	$	33.2	$	31.6

Sales-type lease revenue	$	0.7	$	2.0	$	1.6	$	2.0

Refer to Note 15. 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 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 $25.6 million at June 30, 2024, represent guarantees of future performance. The Company has also provided approximately $8.3 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 June 30, 2024, the gross value of such arrangements was $2.0 million, of which the Company's net exposure under such guarantees was $0.3 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 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets is based on historical experience by product and considers failure rates and the related costs in correcting a product failure. Warranty cost and accrual information were as follows:

NOTE 14. RESTRUCTURING

Restructuring charges primarily consist of employee separation benefits under existing severance programs, foreign statutory termination benefits, certain one-time termination benefits, contract termination costs, asset impairment charges and other costs that are associated with restructuring actions. Certain restructuring charges are accrued prior to payments made in accordance with applicable guidance. For such charges, the amounts are determined based on estimates prepared at the time the restructuring actions were approved by management. 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 included streamlining operations and enhancing our general and administrative infrastructure. The Company recognized restructuring charges of $18.1 million, net of a cumulative release of the related liability of $7.2 million. The 2022/2023 restructuring plan was completed as of March 31, 2024.

The following table details the cumulative restructuring charges reported in operating income for the 2022/2023 restructuring plan since the implementation of this plan:


	Cumulative Amount		During the Quarter Ended				Cumulative Amount
(In millions)	Balance as of December 31, 2023		March 31, 2024		June 30, 2024		Balance as of June 30, 2024
2022/2023 restructuring plan
Severance and related expense	$	12.7	$	0.7	$	0.1	$	13.5
Other	4.1		0.4		0.1		4.6
Total restructuring charges, net	$	16.8	$	1.1	$	0.2	$	18.1

Restructuring charges, net of release of related liability, are reported in Restructuring expense within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Liability balances for restructuring activities are included in Other current liabilities in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The table below details the activities in 2024:


			Impact to Earnings
(In millions)	Balance as of December 31, 2023		Charged to Earnings		Releases		Cash Payments		Balance as of June 30, 2024
2022/2023 restructuring plan
Severance and related expense	$	4.3	$	1.5	$	(0.7)	$	(2.8)	$	2.3
Other	3.7		0.5		—		(4.2)		—
Total	$	8.0	$	2.0	$	(0.7)	$	(7.0)	$	2.3

The Company released $0.7 million of the liability during the six months ended June 30, 2024, 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 15. 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 June 30, 2024, the operating lease right-of-use asset and the lease liability related to these agreements is $3.1 million and $3.3 million, respectively.

Executive Overview

We are a leading global technology solutions provider to high-value segments of the food and beverage industries. We design, produce, and service sophisticated products and systems for multi-national and regional customers.

Our Elevate 2.0 strategy 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 continue to invest in our digital solution, 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.

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 our responsibility 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

Our orders were strong in the second quarter driven by an initial recovery in equipment demand from North American poultry customers along with continued strength for demand in warehouse automation and fruit and vegetable processing. Second quarter results were impacted by a shortfall in revenue, resulting in part from the performance of shorter cycle orders and a system upgrade that temporarily delayed our ability to make progress on overtime projects and process aftermarket parts orders. With the system implementation now stabilized and our backlog conversion, we are expecting double-digit sequential growth in the third quarter of 2024.

For the full year, we expect to deliver year over year revenue growth driven by our strong backlog, continued recovery in equipment demand in the North American poultry market, and our organic growth initiatives. Our margins are also expected to improve year over year as we realize benefits from our strategic sourcing initiatives, continuous improvement initiatives, and higher volume flow through.

(1) The key measures reviewed by the chief operating decision maker ("CODM") to evaluate our performance are most notably Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations and Adjusted EBITDA % from continuing operations. For additional information, refer to the 'Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures' section below.

Revenue

Total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2024 decreased $25.4 million or 5.9% compared to the same period in 2023. Organic revenue decreased $21.2 million and foreign currency translation was unfavorable by $4.2 million in the period compared to the prior year. The decrease in organic revenue was primarily due to the performance of shorter cycle orders and a system upgrade that temporarily delayed our ability to make progress on overtime projects and process aftermarket parts orders. This resulted in a lower volume for both recurring and non-recurring revenue compared to the prior year.

Gross Profit and Gross Profit Margin

Gross profit margin increased 120 bps to 35.6% compared to 34.4% in the same period last year. This increase was driven primarily by higher pricing as well as savings from our restructuring plan and sourcing initiatives. This was partially offset by material cost inflation, lower volume, input cost inflation, and a stronger mix of non-recurring revenue compared to prior year, which tends to have lower margins than recurring revenue.

Selling, general and administrative expense

Selling, general and administrative expense increased $15.8 million from prior year, and as a percent of revenue increased by 540 bps to 28.9% compared to 23.5% in the same period last year. This increase is primarily the result of an increase in M&A related costs for the Marel Transaction and in long term incentive compensation expense accruals, partially offset by savings from our restructuring program.

Pension expense, other than service cost

Pension expense, other than service cost increased $0.8 million compared to the same period in the prior year. This increase was primarily due to lower expected return on pension assets in 2024 compared to prior year.

Interest income

Interest income increased $4.6 million compared to the same period in 2023. This increase was due to interest income on cash on hand from the proceeds from the sale of the AeroTech business which was completed during the third quarter of 2023.

Interest expense

Interest expense decreased $4.1 million compared to same period last year. This decrease is due to the Company having a lower average debt balance and lower weighted average interest rate, including the impacts of the interest rate swaps, during the quarter compared to the same period in 2023.

Income tax (benefit) provision

The Company's tax rate from continuing operations was (12.0)% for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to 23.2% in the same period in 2023. The tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was favorably impacted by discrete items totaling $9.2 million, primarily driven by a non-recurring deferred tax benefit related to an internal reorganization. There were no significant discrete items recorded for the three months ended June 30, 2023.

Income from continuing operations and Adjusted EBITDA

Income from continuing operations for the three months ended June 30, 2024 increased to $30.7 million compared to $28.4 million for the same period in 2023, representing an increase of $2.3 million. Adjusted EBITDA was $63.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $71.4 million during the same period in 2023, representing a decrease of $7.7 million. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily driven by lower gross profit and higher selling, general and administrative expense, excluding the impacts of our depreciation, amortization, and acquisition, and integration costs.

Income from discontinued operations

There was no income from discontinued operations for the three months ended June 30, 2024. For the three months ended June 30, 2023, we recognized income from discontinued operations, net of income taxes, of $4.3 million, which consisted of the results of operations of the AeroTech business.

(1) The key measures reviewed by the CODM to evaluate our performance are most notably Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations and Adjusted EBITDA % from continuing operations. For additional information, refer to the 'Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures' section below.

Revenue

Total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2024 decreased $21.6 million or 2.6% compared to the same period in 2023. Organic revenue decreased $17.2 million and foreign currency translation was unfavorable by $4.5 million in the period compared to the prior year. The decrease in organic revenue was primarily due to the performance of shorter cycle orders and a system upgrade that temporarily delayed our ability to make progress on overtime projects and process aftermarket parts orders. This resulted in a lower volume for both recurring and non-recurring revenue compared to the prior year.

Gross profit and Gross profit margin

Gross profit margin increased 140 bps to 35.7% compared to 34.3% in the same period last year. This increase was driven primarily by higher volume and pricing as well as savings from our restructuring plan and sourcing initiatives. This was partially offset by input cost inflation and a stronger mix of non-recurring revenue compared to prior year, which tends to have lower margins than recurring revenue.

Selling, general and administrative expense

Selling, general and administrative expense increased $22.2 million compared to the same period in the prior year. Selling, general and administrative expense as a percentage of revenue increased 350 bps to 28.5% compared to 25.0% in the same period last year. This increase is primarily the result of an increase in M&A related costs for the Marel Transaction as well as long term incentive compensation expense accruals. This increase was partially offset by savings from our restructuring program as well as a decrease in expenses related to the OmniBluTM platform year-over-year.

Pension expense, other than service cost

Pension expense, other than service cost increased $1.6 million compared to the same period in the prior year. This increase was primarily due to lower expected return on pension assets in 2024 compared to prior year.

Interest income

Interest income increased $9.3 million compared to the same period in 2023. This increase was due to interest income on cash on hand from the proceeds from the sale of the AeroTech business, which was completed during the third quarter of 2023.

Interest expense

Interest expense decreased $8.7 million compared to same period last year. This decrease was due to the Company having a lower average debt balance and lower weighted average interest rate, including the impacts of the interest rate swaps, in the first half of 2024 compared to the same period in 2023.

Income tax (benefit) provision

The Company's tax rate from continuing operations was 8.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to 22.5% in the same period in 2023. The tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was favorably impacted by discrete items totaling $8.2 million, primarily driven by a non-recurring deferred tax benefit related to an internal reorganization. There were no significant discrete items recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development has established a framework to implement a global minimum corporate tax of 15% for companies with global revenues and profits above certain thresholds (referred to as Pillar Two), with certain aspects of Pillar Two effective January 1, 2024 and other aspects effective January 1, 2025, depending on the jurisdictions in which the Company operates. The Company does not expect Pillar Two to have a material impact on the Company's effective tax rate, consolidated results of operation, financial position, or cash flows for the year ending December 31, 2024.

Income from continuing operations and Adjusted EBITDA

Income from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $53.4 million compared to $45.5 million for the same period in 2023, representing an increase of $7.9 million. Adjusted EBITDA was $121.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $125.8 million during the same period in 2023, representing a decrease of $4.7 million. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily driven by higher selling, general and administrative expense, excluding the impacts of our depreciation, amortization, and acquisition and integration costs, partially offset by a higher gross profit.

Income from discontinued operations

For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, we recognized income from discontinued operations, net of income taxes, of $0.1 million and $14.4 million, respectively. Discontinued operations consists of the results of operations of the AeroTech business, the sale of which was completed during the third quarter of 2023.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures

We present non-GAAP financial measures in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. 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 costs, M&A related costs, pension-related costs, constant currency adjustments and other major items affecting comparability of our ongoing operating results.

The non-GAAP financial measures presented in this report may differ from similarly-titled measures used by other companies. The non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to be used as a substitute for, nor should they be considered in isolation of, financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Additional details for each Non-GAAP financial measure follow:

•EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA: We define EBITDA as earnings before income taxes, interest expense and depreciation and amortization. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA before restructuring, pension expense other than service cost, and M&A related costs.

•Adjusted income from continuing operations and Adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations: We adjust earnings for restructuring expense, M&A related costs, which include integration costs and the amortization of inventory step-up from business combinations, advisory and transaction costs for both potential and completed M&A transactions and strategy (“M&A related costs”), amortization of debt issuance costs related to bridge financing for potential M&A transactions, and impact on tax provision from remeasurement of deferred taxes for material tax rate changes and internal reorganizations.

•Free cash flow: We define free cash flow as cash provided by continuing operating activities, less capital expenditures, plus proceeds from sale of fixed assets and pension contributions. For free cash flow purposes, we consider contributions to pension plans to be more comparable to the payment of debt, and therefore exclude these contributions from the calculation of free cash flow.

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

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

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.

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 sale of the AeroTech business on August 1, 2023.

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, we had operating cash flows from continuing operations of $32.0 million. For full year 2024, we expect to generate positive cash flows. Our liquidity as of June 30, 2024, or cash plus borrowing ability under our revolving credit facilities, was $1.2 billion.

The cash flows generated by our continuing 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.

We expect to use the cash on our balance sheet for our stated capital allocation priorities, as well as partially fund the Marel transaction and pay any related debt financing costs and anticipated pre-close transaction costs of approximately $40 million expected to be incurred in 2024. We expect to incur additional financing and transaction costs in the event the Marel Transaction closes.

Based on our current capital allocation objectives, during 2024, we anticipate capital expenditures to be between $40 million and $50 million. Our level of capital expenditures varies from time to time as a result of actual and anticipated business conditions.

As of June 30, 2024, we had $474.3 million of cash and cash equivalents, $34.0 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 $10 million to our cash from continuing operations in 2024.

Cash Flows

Cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 were as follows:


	Six Months Ended June 30,
(In millions)	2024		2023
Cash provided by continuing operating activities	$	32.0	$	62.6
Cash required by continuing investing activities	(22.7)		(34.9)
Cash required by continuing financing activities	(16.4)		(40.8)
Effect of foreign exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents	(1.8)		(0.6)
Net decrease in cash from continuing operations	$	(8.9)	$	(13.7)

Cash provided by continuing operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $32.0 million, representing a $30.6 million decrease compared to the same period in 2023. This decrease was driven primarily by lower customer collections of advanced payments and trade receivables and higher inventory purchases during the period, partially offset by lower payments made on our accounts payable.

Cash required by investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $22.7 million, a decrease of $12.2 million compared to the same period in 2023. The decrease is primarily driven by lower spending on capital expenditures for our OmniBluTM platform development as we completed the initial development and deployment in 2023.

Cash required by financing activities was $16.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to cash required of $40.8 million during the same period in 2023. The cash outflow in the period was driven by the payment of debt issuance costs related to the Bridge Credit Agreement entered into in Q2 2024, as well as taxes withheld on stock-based compensation awards which were higher in the current period compared to the same period in 2023. The prior year cash required included debt repayments for our revolving credit facility that did not recur in 2024.

Financing Arrangements

As of June 30, 2024, we had $250.0 million drawn on and $1.0 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 June 30, 2024, we were in compliance with all covenants in our credit agreement. We expect to remain in compliance with all covenants in the foreseeable future.

In connection with the Marel Transaction, on May 17, 2024, we entered into an amendment (the "Second Amendment") to our existing revolving credit facility under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of December 14, 2021. The Second Amendment, among other things, (1) expressly permits the Offer and the transactions contemplated thereby, (2) increases the maximum Secured Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) for the first 12 months after the closing of the Offer to 5.00 to 1.00, stepping down to 4.00 to 1.00 at 12 months after the closing of the Offer and further stepping down to 3.50 to 1.00 at 18 months after the closing of the Offer and (3) amends certain of the other negative and financial covenants. This increase in maximum Secured Net Leverage ratio will provide us with sufficient capacity to incur indebtedness in excess of our expected requirements upon completion of the Marel Transaction.

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 the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In connection with the Marel Transaction, on April 4, 2024, the Company entered into a Bridge Credit Agreement with certain financial institutions that committed to provide the Company with secured bridge financing in an aggregate principal amount of €1.9 billion. Our ability to use this bridge financing is subject to the closing of the Marel Transaction. The maturity of the Bridge Credit Agreement is 364 days after the initial borrowing the loans thereunder.

As of June 30, 2024, 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.

As a result, as of June 30, 2024 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 all of the 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.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

There were no material changes in our judgments and assumptions associated with the development of our critical accounting estimates during the period ended June 30, 2024.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

There have been no material changes in reported market risks from the information reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Under the direction of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) as of June 30, 2024. We have concluded that, as of June 30, 2024, our disclosure controls and procedures were:

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

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

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

There were no changes in controls that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

From time to time, we may be subject to legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of our business. We are not currently a party to or aware of any proceedings that we believe will have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

There are numerous factors that affect our business and results of operations, many of which are beyond our control. As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, other than as set forth below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed under (i) “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in Part I and “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Part II of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, (ii) “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2024, and (iii) “Risk Factors” in our proxy statement/prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act (File No. 333-279438) on June 25, 2024, forming part of the Registration Statement on Form S-4, initially filed by us on May 15, 2024 and declared effective on June 25, 2024.

In addition to the other information presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, you should carefully read and consider the disclosure identified in items (i), (ii) and (iii) above, which contain descriptions of significant risks, including those related to the Marel Transaction, that might cause our actual results of operations in future periods to differ materially from those currently anticipated or expected.

A lawsuit has been filed in connection with the Marel Transaction and additional lawsuits may be filed against JBT, Marel, the combined company and members of their respective boards of directors that challenge the Marel Transaction. An adverse ruling in any such lawsuit may prevent the Marel Transaction from becoming effective or from becoming effective within the expected timeframe and/or have an adverse impact on the combined company’s business and operations.

Transactions such as the Marel Transaction are frequently subject to litigation or other legal proceedings, including actions alleging disclosure violations and actions alleging that the board of directors of JBT (the “JBT Board”) or the board of directors of Marel (the “Marel Board”) breached their respective fiduciary duties to their stockholders or shareholders, as applicable, by entering into the transaction agreement with Marel, by failing to obtain a greater value in the Marel Transaction for their stockholders or shareholders, as applicable, or otherwise. For example, a lawsuit has been filed by a purported JBT stockholder alleging that, among other things, the proxy statement mailed to JBT stockholders omits material information concerning the Marel Transaction. In the Complaint, which was filed in the Circuit Court of DuPage County, Illinois, and is captioned Garfield v. Brasier, et al., No. 2024CH000184, the plaintiff asserts certain disclosure claims under Illinois law and requests, among other things, an injunction against the JBT stockholder vote absent disclosure of additional information to JBT’s stockholders. In addition, certain purported JBT stockholders have sent the Demand Letters making similar allegations of material omissions in the proxy statement. Neither JBT nor Marel can provide assurance that lawsuits will not be filed on the basis of the allegations in the demand letters or that any other litigation or legal proceedings will not be brought. An adverse outcome in such matters, as well as the costs and efforts of a defense, even if successful, could have a material adverse effect on the business, results of operation or financial condition of JBT, Marel or the combined company, including through the possible diversion of such company’s resources or distraction of key personnel.

Furthermore, one of the conditions to the completion of the Marel Transaction is the absence of an order by any governmental body that enjoins or otherwise prohibits the consummation of the Marel Transaction. As such, if any plaintiff is successful in obtaining an injunction preventing the consummation of the Marel Transaction, that injunction may prevent the Marel Transaction from becoming effective or from becoming effective within the expected timeframe.

If the Marel Transaction is completed, the combined company may be exposed to increased litigation from stockholders, customers, partners, suppliers, contractors and other third parties due to the combination of JBT’s and Marel’s businesses following the Marel Transaction. Even if such lawsuits are without merit, defending against these claims can result in substantial costs and divert management time and attention. Such litigation or an adverse judgment resulting in monetary damages may have an adverse impact on the combined company’s business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
