Description of Business and Basis of Presentation | 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") 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. On August 26, 2024, JBT extended the expiration of the Offer to the earlier of November 11, 2024, or three weeks after the date on which all required regulatory clearances are secured, unless the Offer is further extended in accordance with the terms of the Transaction Agreement and applicable laws. 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 shares of the Company's common stock (the "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. On August 8, 2024, JBT held a special meeting of its stockholders whereby JBT stockholders approved the issuance of the JBT Offer Shares to Marel shareholders in connection with the Marel Transaction. The Marel Transaction, which is expected to close on or about 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 nine months ended September 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. |
