Food is the fabric of life.
With durable, growing, long-term
demand worldwide.
Through our Elevate strategy,
we have built JBT into a high-value
partner to food industry leaders.
Our advanced capabilities contribute
to customer success across virtually
the entire protein and liquid food
production value chains.
In fact, if you ate or drank something
today, there’s a very good chance
that JBT technology played a critical
part in its preparation.
John Bean Technologies (JBT) is a global leader
that designs, develops and delivers solutions for high-
value segments of the food and beverage industry.
Our focus: proteins, liquid foods and automated systems.

JBT | 2019 Annual Report
Our FoodTech business delivered solid growth primarily through
acquisitions in 2019, and AeroTech continued to enjoy a strong
organic growth trajectory. Our successful implementation of
restructuring activities and the JBT Operating System, plus
our continued emphasis on recurring revenue through strong
customer relationships, helped us perform well through the
challenging macroeconomic environment.
As we enter the final year of executing the Elevate strategy,
we are very pleased with the JBT we are building. JBT has a
broad, always-improving portfolio of products and technologies
that focus on our customers’ needs. We are a more lean,
efficient and responsive organization with an emphasis on
building strong, value-creating customer relationships, both of
which help to insulate us from volatility in the marketplace.
2019 FINANCIAL RESULTS
Our financial performance in 2019 was led by strong gains
in reported earnings per share, which grew year over year by
24%, and in adjusted EPS and net income, which increased by
13% and 24%, respectively, compared with the previous year.
Adjusted EBITDA, a key measure of our performance, reached
$292 million in 2019, a 15% gain versus 2018. Revenue
for the full year was $1.946 billion, slightly higher than the
$1.920 billion we reported in 2018.
Our two segments, FoodTech and AeroTech, both delivered
organic growth in 2019 as well as growth through acquisitions.
AeroTech continued its strong performance with 2019 revenue
increasing by 10% over 2018. Both segments’ operating
profit benefited from our restructuring initiatives, with each
segment achieving operating profit margin improvement
exceeding 100 basis points and collectively delivering close
to $30 million in incremental savings. Operating cash flow
for the full year was $110 million, down from the $154 million
we generated in 2018.
THE ELEVATE STRATEGY: BUILDING A STRONGER JBT
As we navigated challenges in the global business
environment, JBT remained focused on executing our Elevate
strategy. We made great progress in important areas of Elevate
in 2019. JBT’s PRoCARE® aftermarket services, with the
addition of iOPS®, our Internet of Things offering, enabled us
to strengthen customer relationships and associated revenue.
Margin improvement remained on track throughout the year,
thanks to the success of our restructuring program and the
JBT Operating System.
It was a good year for M&A as well. Early in 2019, we acquired
LEKTRO, the number-one manufacturer of all-electric aircraft
pushback tractors, which improve our customers’ carbon
footprint. In our FoodTech business, we acquired Proseal uk
Limited, a leading provider of tray sealing technology that
positions JBT well to help our customers move to the front
of fast-growing consumer preference for convenience with
environmentally friendly solutions. We also acquired Prime
Equipment Group, a Columbus, Ohio-based manufacturer of
automated primary processing and water-saving solutions for
the poultry industry. Both FoodTech transactions expanded
JBT capabilities in important areas of customer need that align
with changing consumer, business and environmental trends.
Through M&A, we have steadily added capabilities that
strengthen JBT’s ability to help customers meet growing
consumer demand in important categories, as well as
address the increasing need for labor-saving automation.
Last, we have built a strong and balanced presence in
Asia, positioning JBT to benefit from the long-term growth
projected from the expanding middle class consuming
more protein and prepared foods.
NEXT FOR JBT: LOOKING AHEAD WITH CONFIDENCE
Everything we have completed thus far at JBT has centered
on the concept of helping our customers solve challenges in
their businesses and stay in front of evolving consumer trends,
and this has delivered solid returns for our stakeholders.
The framework for our next phase of growth will deepen this
focus on the customer with an increasingly solutions-oriented
approach, which we expect to drive further improvement in
returns for JBT stakeholders.
When I speak to our customers, they say they need more
than equipment. They need help solving problems. They need
support that helps them win in the marketplace. They need
the full benefit of our global scale and capabilities delivered
with the focus and responsiveness of a local provider. With
our next strategic framework, we intend to provide solutions
that address these needs, creating an acceleration in
opportunities for JBT.
We are also committed to improving our Environmental, Social
and Governance (ESG) efforts. As I write this message, we
are in the midst of a comprehensive materiality assessment
across our business to sharpen JBT’s ESG focus. ESG is a
real opportunity for JBT to drive growth—over the last five
years we have methodically built our capabilities to contribute
to key customer ESG priorities such as reduced energy and
water use, extended shelf life/food waste reduction and labor
productivity, among others.
JBT is a much stronger company than when we first launched
the Elevate strategy. I am very confident that we can accelerate
the value we create for our customers, our shareholders, our
employees and our communities in the years ahead.
Sincerely,
Sincerely,
Thomas W. Giacomini

We believe our success is derived from continued innovation, applying differentiated and proprietary technologies to meet
customers’ food processing needs. We continually strive to improve existing solutions and develop new solutions by working
closely with our customers to meet their evolving needs.
Our historically strong position in the markets we serve has provided us with a large installed base of systems and equipment. We
deliver industrial capacity equipment which includes freezers, citrus juice extractors, preservation systems, coating systems and
packaging systems. The installed base of our equipment is a source of recurring revenue from aftermarket products, parts, services,
and lease arrangements. Recurring revenue accounted for 44% of our FoodTech total revenue in 2019. The installed base also
provides us with strong, long-term customer relationships from which we derive information for new product development to meet
the evolving needs of our food processing customers. We also provide stand-alone and fully integrated automated guided vehicle
systems for repetitive material handling requirements, for example in manufacturing and warehouse facilities.

Order Backlog
For information regarding order backlog, refer to the section entitled “Inbound Orders and Order Backlog” in Item 7.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Sources and Availability of Raw Materials
All of our business segments purchase carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and/or steel castings and forgings both domestically
and internationally. We do not use single source suppliers for the majority of our raw material purchases and believe the available
supplies of raw materials are adequate to meet our needs.
Sales and Marketing
We sell and market our products and services predominantly through a direct sales force, supplemented with independent
distributors and sales representatives. Our experienced international sales force is comprised of individuals with strong technical
expertise in our products and services and the industries in which they are sold.
We support our sales force with marketing and training programs that are designed to increase awareness of our product offerings
and highlight our differentiation while providing a set of sales tools to aid in the sales of our technology solutions. We actively
employ a broad range of marketing programs to inform and educate customers, the media, industry analysts, and academia through
targeted newsletters, our web-site, seminars, trade shows, user groups, and conferences.
Patents, Trademarks and Other Intellectual Property
We own a number of United States and foreign patents, trademarks, and licenses that are cumulatively important to our business.
We own approximately 704 United States and foreign issued patents and have approximately 302 patent applications pending in
the United States and abroad. Further, we license certain intellectual property rights to or from third parties. We also own numerous
United States and foreign trademarks and trade names and have approximately 888 registrations and pending applications in the
United States and abroad. A substantial majority of these patents, trademarks and tradenames are associated with the FoodTech
segment. Developing and maintaining a strong intellectual property portfolio is an important component of our strategy to extend
our technology leadership. However, we do not believe that the loss of any one or group of related patents, trademarks, or licenses
would have a material adverse effect on our overall business.
Competition
We conduct business worldwide and compete with large multinational companies as well as a variety of local and regional
companies, which typically are focused on a specific application, technology or geographical area.
We compete by leveraging our industry expertise to provide differentiated and proprietary technology, integrated systems, high
product quality and reliability, and comprehensive aftermarket service. We strive to provide our customers with equipment that
delivers a lower total cost of ownership, distinguishing ourselves by providing excellent equipment uptime and increased yields
with improved final product quality. Our ability to provide comprehensive sales and service in all major regions of the world, by
maintaining local personnel direct in region, differentiates us from regional competition.
8
Working Capital Practices
In order to provide, and install, custom designed equipment, companies in the food machinery industry generally generate
customer deposits, or advance payments, before construction begins. For this reason, FoodTech can be less working capital
intensive than many other industrial capital goods industries. AeroTech solutions, which are more standardized, do not generate a
significant amount of advance payment from the air transportation industry, and therefore is generally more capital intensive.
Employees
We have approximately 6,400 employees with approximately 3,300 located in the United States. Approximately 9% of our
employees in the United States are represented by three collective bargaining agreements.
Outside the United States, we enter into employment contracts and agreements in those countries in which such relationships are
mandatory or customary. The provisions of these agreements correspond in each case with the required or customary terms in the
subject jurisdiction. Approximately 43% of our international employees are covered under national employee unions.
We have historically maintained good employee relations and have successfully concluded all of our recent negotiations without a
work stoppage. However, we cannot predict the outcome of future contract negotiations.
Customers
No single customer accounted for more than 10% of our total revenue in any of the last three fiscal years.
Government Contracts
AeroTech supplies equipment and logistics support to the U.S. Department of Defense and international forces. The amount of
equipment and parts supplied to these programs is dependent upon annual government appropriations and levels of military
spending. In addition, United States defense contracts are unilaterally terminable at the option of the United States government
with compensation for work completed and costs incurred. Contracts with the United States government and defense contractors
are subject to special laws and regulations, the noncompliance with which may result in various sanctions that could materially
affect our ongoing government business.
Governmental Regulation and Environmental Matters
Our operations are subject to various federal, state, local, and foreign laws and regulations governing the prevention of pollution
and the protection of environmental quality. If we fail to comply with these environmental laws and regulations, administrative,
civil, and criminal penalties may be imposed, and we may become subject to regulatory enforcement actions in the form of
injunctions and cease and desist orders. We may also be subject to civil claims arising out of an accident or other event causing
environmental pollution. These laws and regulations may expose us to liability for the conduct of or conditions caused by others or
for our own acts even though these actions were in compliance with all applicable laws at the time they were performed.
Under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, referred to as CERCLA, and related state
laws and regulations, joint and several liability can be imposed without regard to fault or the legality of the original conduct on
certain classes of persons that contributed to the release of a hazardous substance into the environment. These persons include the
owner and operator of a contaminated site where a hazardous substance release occurred and any company that transported,
disposed of, or arranged for the transport or disposal of hazardous substances that have been released into the environment,
including hazardous substances generated by any closed operations or facilities. In addition, neighboring landowners or other third
parties may file claims for personal injury, property damage, and recovery of response cost. We may also be subject to the
corrective action provisions of the Resource, Conservation and Recovery Act, or RCRA, and analogous state laws that require
owners and operators of facilities that treat, store, or dispose of hazardous waste to clean up releases of hazardous waste
constituents into the environment associated with their operations.
Many of our facilities and operations are also governed by laws and regulations relating to worker health and workplace safety,
including the Federal Occupational Safety and Health Act, or OSHA. We believe that appropriate precautions are taken to protect
our employees and others from harmful exposure to potentially hazardous work environments, and that we operate in substantial
compliance with all OSHA or similar regulations.
We are also subject to laws and regulations related to conflict minerals, export compliance, local hiring and anti-corruption, and we
have adopted policies, procedures and employee training programs that are designed to facilitate compliance with those laws and
regulations.

ITEM 1A.
RISK FACTORS
You should carefully consider the risks described below, together with all of the other information included in this Annual Report on
Form 10-K, in evaluating our company and our common stock. If any of the risks described below actually occurs, our business,
financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and stock price could be materially adversely affected.
Our financial results are subject to fluctuations caused by many factors that could result in our failing to achieve anticipated
financial results and cause a drop in our stock price.
Our quarterly and annual financial results have varied in the past and are likely to continue to vary in the future due to a number of
factors, many of which are beyond our control. In particular, the contractual terms and the number and size of orders in the capital
goods industries in which we compete vary significantly over time. The timing of our sales cycle from receipt of orders to shipment of
the products or provision of services can significantly impact our sales and income in any given fiscal period. These and any one or
more of the factors listed below, among other things, could cause us not to achieve our revenue or profitability expectations in any
given period and the resulting failure to meet such expectations could cause a drop in our stock price:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
volatility in demand for our products and services, including volatility in growth rates in the food processing and air
transportation industries;
downturns in our customers’ businesses resulting from deteriorating domestic and international economies where our
customers conduct substantial business;
increases in commodity prices resulting in increased manufacturing costs, such as petroleum-based products, metals or
other raw materials we use in significant quantities;
supply chain interruptions;
changes in pricing policies resulting from competitive pressures, including aggressive price discounting by our
competitors and other market factors;
our ability to develop and introduce on a timely basis new or enhanced versions of our products and services;
unexpected needs for capital expenditures or other unanticipated expenses;
changes in the mix of revenue attributable to domestic and international sales;
changes in the mix of products and services that we sell;
changes in foreign currency rates;
seasonal fluctuations in buying patterns;
future acquisitions and divestitures of technologies, products, and businesses;
changes to trade regulation, quotas, duties or tariffs, caused by the changing U.S. and geopolitical environments;
potential effects of the United Kingdom’s (U.K.) withdrawal from the European Union (E.U.) after the initial transition
period ending on December 31, 2020; and
cyber-attacks and other IT threats that could disable our IT infrastructure and create a meaningful inability to operate our
business.
12
Variability in the length of our sales cycles makes accurate estimation of our revenue in any single period difficult and can result
in significant fluctuation in quarterly operating results.
The length of our sales cycle varies depending on a number of factors over which we may have little or no control, including the size
and complexity of a potential transaction, the level of competition that we encounter during our selling process, and our current and
potential customers’ internal budgeting and approval process. Many of our sales are subject to an extended sales cycle. As a result, we
may expend significant effort and resources over a significant period of time in an attempt to obtain an order, but ultimately not obtain
the order, or obtain an order that is smaller than we anticipated. Revenue generated by any one of our customers may vary from
quarter to quarter, and a customer who places a large order in one quarter may generate significantly lower revenue in subsequent
quarters. Due to the length and uncertainty of our sales cycle, and the variability of orders from period to period, we believe that
quarter-to-quarter comparisons of our revenue and operating results may not be an accurate indicator of our short term or future
performance.
Deterioration of economic conditions could adversely impact our business.
Our business may be adversely affected by changes in current or future national or global economic conditions, including lower
growth rates or recession, high unemployment, rising interest rates, limited availability of capital, decreases in consumer spending
rates, the availability and cost of energy, and the effect of government deficit reduction, sequestration, and other austerity measures
impacting the markets we serve. Any such changes could adversely affect the demand for our products or the cost and availability of
our required raw materials, which can have a material adverse effect on our financial results. Adverse national and global economic
conditions could, among other things:
• make it more difficult or costly for us to obtain necessary financing for our operations, our investments and our
acquisitions, or to refinance our debt;
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
cause our lenders or other financial instrument counterparties to be unable to honor their commitments or otherwise
default under our financing arrangements;
impair the financial condition of some of our customers, thereby hindering our customers’ ability to obtain financing to
purchase our products and/or increasing customer bad debts;
cause customers to forgo or postpone new purchases in favor of repairing existing equipment and machinery, and delay
or reduce preventative maintenance, thereby reducing our revenue and/or profits;
negatively impact our customers’ ability to raise pricing to counteract increased fuel, labor, and other costs, making it
less likely that they will expend the same capital and other resources on our equipment as they have in the past;
impair the financial condition of some of our suppliers thereby potentially increasing both the likelihood of our having to
renegotiate supply terms on terms that may not be as favorable to us and the risk of non-performance by suppliers;
negatively impact global demand for air transportation services as well as the food preparation industry, which could
result in a reduction of sales, operating income, and cash flows in our AeroTech and FoodTech segments;
negatively affect the rates of expansion, consolidation, renovation, and equipment replacement within the air
transportation industry and within the food processing industry, which may adversely affect the results of operations of
our AeroTech and FoodTech segments; and
•
impair the financial viability of our insurers.
Disruptions in the political, regulatory, economic and social conditions of the foreign countries in which we conduct business
could negatively affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
We operate manufacturing facilities in eleven countries other than the United States, the largest of which are located in Belgium,
Sweden, Brazil, Italy, Spain, United Kingdom, the Netherlands and Germany. Our international sales accounted for 42% of our 2019
revenue. Multiple factors relating to our international operations and to those particular countries in which we operate or seek to
expand our operations could have an adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. These factors include, among
others:
•
economic downturns, inflationary and recessionary markets, including in capital and equity markets;
13
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
civil unrest, political instability, terrorist attacks, and wars;
nationalization, expropriation, or seizure of assets;
potentially burdensome taxation in other jurisdictions;
changes in the mix of our international business operations and revenue relative to our domestic operations, resulting in
increasing tax liabilities resulting from repatriation of income generated outside of the United States;
inability to repatriate income or capital;
foreign ownership restrictions;
export regulations that could erode profit margins or restrict exports, including import or export licensing regulations;
trade restrictions, tariffs, and other trade protection measures, or price controls;
restrictions on operations, trade practices, trade partners, and investment decisions resulting from domestic and foreign
laws and regulations;
compliance with the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and other similar laws;
burden and cost of complying with foreign laws, treaties, and technical standards and changes in those regulations;
transportation delays and interruptions; and
reductions in the availability of qualified personnel.
Changes to trade regulation, quotas, duties or tariffs, caused by the changing U.S. and geopolitical environments or otherwise,
may increase our costs or limit the amount of raw materials and products that we can import, or may otherwise adversely impact or
business.
The current U.S. administration has voiced strong concerns about imports from countries that it perceives as engaging in unfair trade
practices and has imposed import duties or other restrictions on products or raw materials sourced from those countries. On June 1,
2018, the U.S. government began imposing tariffs on steel and aluminum imports. In response to these tariffs, several major U.S.
trading partners have imposed, or announced their intention to impose, tariffs on U.S. goods. On July 6, 2018, the U.S. government
began imposing tariffs on certain imports from China. We import raw materials from or manufacture our products in China and other
such countries subject to these tariffs. Subsequently, the U.S. government imposed additional tariffs on imports from China. Any such
duties or restrictions could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.
Moreover, these new tariffs, or other changes in U.S. trade policy, could trigger retaliatory actions by affected countries. Certain
foreign governments have instituted or are considering imposing trade sanctions on certain U.S. goods. Others are considering the
imposition of sanctions that will deny U.S. companies access to critical raw materials. A “trade war” of this nature or other
governmental action related to tariffs or international trade agreements or policies has the potential to adversely impact demand for our
products, our costs, customers, suppliers and/or the U.S. economy or certain sectors thereof and, thus, to adversely impact our
businesses.
We face risks associated with current and future acquisitions.
To achieve our strategic objectives, we have pursued and expect to continue to pursue expansion opportunities such as acquiring other
businesses or assets. Expanding through acquisitions involves risks such as:
•
•
•
•
the incurrence of additional debt to finance the acquisition or expansion;
additional liabilities (whether known or unknown), including, among others, product, environmental or pension
liabilities of the acquired business or assets;
risks and costs associated with integrating the acquired business or new facility into our operations;
the need to retain and assimilate key employees of the acquired business or assets;
14
•
•
•
•
•
•
unanticipated demands on our management, operational resources and financial and internal control systems;
unanticipated regulatory risks;
the risk of being denied the necessary licenses, permits and approvals from state, local and foreign governments, and the
costs and time associated with obtaining such licenses, permits and approvals;
risks that we do not achieve anticipated operating efficiencies, synergies and economies of scale; and
risks in retaining the existing customers and contracts of the acquired business or assets.
risk that unforeseen issues with an acquisition may adversely affect the anticipated results of the business or value of the
intangible assets and trigger an evaluation of the recoverability of the recorded goodwill and intangible assets for such
business.
If we are unable to effectively integrate acquired businesses or newly formed operations, or if such acquired businesses underperform
relative to our expectations, this may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position, and results of operations.
The potential effects of the U.K.’s exit from the E.U. have created uncertainties that could have negative effects on us.
In June 2016, the U.K held a Referendum of the U.K.'s Membership in the E.U. (referred to as Brexit), in which voters approved the
exit of the United Kingdom from the European Union. In January 2020, U.K. parliament passed a bill establishing the effective date
of Brexit as January 31, 2020 and establishing a transition period ending on December 31, 2020. During the transition period, U.K.
will continue to remain in E.U. customs union and single market. The Brexit referendum results and passing of Brexit bill caused
significant currency exchange rate fluctuations. As described in Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
- Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk, we translate revenue denominated in foreign currency into U.S. dollars for our financial
statements. In addition, a so called Hard Brexit, where no formal agreement is made between U.K. and E.U. during the transition
period ending on December 31, 2020, could result in continued currency rate fluctuations. During periods of a strengthening dollar,
our reported international revenue is reduced because foreign currencies translate into fewer U.S. dollars.
Brexit has created instability and volatility in the global markets and could adversely affect European or worldwide economic or
market conditions. Although it is unknown what the terms of the exit from the transition period will be, they may impair the ability of
our operations in the E.U. to transact business in the future in the U.K., and similarly the ability of our U.K. operations to transact
business in the future in the E.U. Specifically, it is possible that there will be greater restrictions on imports and exports between the
U.K. and E.U. countries and increased regulatory complexities. In addition, Brexit could lead to legal uncertainty and potentially
divergent national laws and regulations as the U.K. determines which E.U. laws to replace or replicate. Further, among other things,
Brexit could reduce capital spending in the U.K. and the E.U., which could result in decreased demand for our products.
Any of these effects of Brexit, and others we cannot anticipate, could adversely affect our business, business opportunities, financial
condition, results of operations and cash flows. For the year ended December 31, 2019, our U.K. based subsidiaries generated $40.7
million in revenue and we reported $78.4 million from U.K. customers in our global revenues.
Fluctuations in currency exchange rates could negatively affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
A significant portion of our revenue and expenses are realized in foreign currencies. As a result, changes in exchange rates will result
in increases or decreases in our costs and earnings and may adversely affect our Consolidated Financial Statements, which are stated
in U.S. dollars. Although we may seek to minimize currency exchange risk by engaging in hedging transactions where we deem
appropriate, we cannot be assured that our efforts will be successful. Currency fluctuations may also result in our systems and services
becoming more expensive and less competitive than those of other suppliers in the foreign countries in which we sell our systems and
services.
We have invested substantial resources in certain markets where we expect growth, and our business may suffer if we are unable to
achieve the growth we expect.
As part of our strategy to grow, we are expanding our operations in certain emerging or developing markets, and accordingly have
made and expect to continue to make substantial investments to support anticipated growth in those regions. We may fail to realize
expected rates of return on our existing investments or incur losses on such investments, and we may be unable to redeploy capital to
take advantage of other markets. Our results will also suffer if these regions do not grow as quickly as we anticipate.
15
Our restructuring initiatives may not achieve the expected cost reductions or other anticipated benefits.
We regularly evaluate our existing operations, service capacity, and business efficiencies to determine if a realignment or restructuring
could improve our results of operations or achieve some other business goal. Our realignment and restructuring initiatives are
designed to result in more efficient and increasingly profitable operations. Our ability to achieve the anticipated cost savings and other
benefits from these initiatives within the expected time frame is subject to many estimates and assumptions. These estimates and
assumptions are subject to significant economic, competitive, and other uncertainties, some of which are beyond our control. In 2018,
we implemented a restructuring program to address JBT's global processes, to flatten the organization, improve efficiency, and better
leverage general and administrative resources. We have incurred restructuring charges of $13.5 million related to this plan in 2019. We
plan to incur $62 million to $64 million in total charges to achieve these objectives. Failure to achieve the expected cost reductions
related to these restructuring initiatives could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
Our inability to obtain raw materials, component parts, and/or finished goods in a timely and cost-effective manner from suppliers
would adversely affect our ability to manufacture and market our products.
We purchase raw materials and component parts from suppliers for use in manufacturing our products. We also purchase certain
finished goods from suppliers. Changes in our relationships with suppliers or increases in our costs for raw materials, component
parts, or finished goods we purchase could result in manufacturing interruptions, delays, inefficiencies, or our inability to market
products if we cannot timely and efficiently manufacture them. In addition, our gross margins could decrease if prices of purchased
raw materials, component parts, or finished goods increase and we are unable to pass on such price increases to customers.
Regulations related to conflict minerals could adversely impact our business.
The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act contains provisions to improve transparency and accountability
concerning the supply of certain minerals, known as “conflict minerals”, originating from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC)
and adjoining countries. To implement this legislation, the SEC adopted annual disclosure and reporting requirements for those
companies that use conflict minerals mined from the DRC and adjoining countries in their products. We will continue to incur costs
associated with complying with these annual disclosure requirements, including those incurred to conduct diligence to determine the
sources of conflict minerals used in our products and other potential changes to products, processes, or sources of supply as a
consequence of such verification activities. These rules could adversely affect the sourcing, supply and pricing of materials used in our
products. As there may be only a limited number of suppliers offering “conflict free” conflict minerals of certain types, we cannot be
certain that we will continue to be able to obtain necessary conflict minerals from such suppliers in sufficient quantities or at
competitive prices. Also, we may face reputational challenges if we determine that certain of our products contain minerals not
determined to be conflict free or if we are unable to sufficiently verify the origins for all conflict minerals used in our products.
An increase in energy or raw material prices may reduce the profitability of our customers, which ultimately could negatively
affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
Energy prices are volatile. High energy prices have a negative trickledown effect on our customers’ business operations by reducing
their profitability because of increased operating costs. Our customers require large amounts of energy to run their businesses,
particularly in the air transportation industry. Higher energy prices can reduce passenger and cargo air carrier profitability as a result of
increased jet and ground support equipment fuel prices. Higher energy prices also increase food processors’ operating costs through
increased energy and utility costs to run their plants, higher priced chemical and petroleum based raw materials used in food
processing, and higher fuel costs to run their logistics and service fleet vehicles.
Food processors are also affected by the cost and availability of raw materials such as feed grains, livestock, produce, and dairy
products. Increases in the cost of and limitations in the availability of such raw materials can negatively affect the profitability of food
processors’ operations.
Any reduction in our customers’ profitability due to higher energy or raw material costs or otherwise may reduce their future
expenditures in the food processing equipment or airport equipment that we provide. This reduction may have a material adverse
effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
16
Changes in food consumption patterns due to dietary trends or economic conditions may adversely affect our business, financial
condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
Dietary trends can create demand for protein food products but negatively impact demand for high-carbohydrate foods, or create
demand for easy to prepare, transportable meals but negatively impact traditional canned food products. Because different food types
and food packaging can quickly go in and out of style as a function of dietary, health, convenience, or sustainability trends, food
processors can be challenged in accurately forecasting their needed manufacturing capacity and the related investment in equipment
and services. During periods of economic uncertainty, consumer demand for protein products or processed food products may be
negatively impacted by increases in food prices. A demand shift away from protein products or processed foods could have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
An outbreak of animal borne diseases (H5N1, BSE, or other virus strains affecting poultry or livestock), citrus tree diseases, or
food borne illnesses or other food safety or quality concerns may negatively affect our business, financial condition, results of
operations, and cash flows.
An outbreak or pandemic stemming from H5N1 (avian flu), BSE (mad cow disease), African swine fever (pork) or any other animal
related disease strains could reduce the availability of poultry or beef that is processed for the restaurant, food service, wholesale or
retail consumer. Any limitation on the availability of such raw materials could discourage food producers from making additional
capital investments in processing equipment, aftermarket products, parts, and services that our FoodTech business provides. Such a
decrease in demand for our products could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations,
and cash flows.
The success of our business that serves the citrus food processing industry is directly related to the viability and health of citrus crops.
The citrus industries in Florida, Brazil, and other countries are facing increased pressure on their harvest productivity and citrus
bearing acreage due to citrus canker and greening diseases. These citrus tree diseases are often incurable once a tree has been infested
and the end result can be the destruction of the tree. Reduced amounts of available fruit for the processed or fresh food markets could
materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
In the event an E. coli or other food borne illness causes a recall of meat or produce, the companies supplying those fresh, further
processed or packaged forms of those products could be severely adversely affected. Any negative impact on the financial viability of
our fresh or processed food provider customers could adversely affect our immediate and recurring revenue base. We also face the risk
of direct exposure to liabilities associated with product recalls to the extent that our products are determined to have caused an issue
leading to a recall.
Freezes, hurricanes, droughts, other natural disasters or adverse weather conditions may negatively affect our business, financial
condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
In the event a natural disaster negatively affects growers or farm production, the food processing industry may not have the fresh food
raw materials necessary to meet consumer demand. Crops or entire groves or fields can be severely damaged by a drought, freeze, or
hurricane, wildfires or adverse weather conditions, including the effects of climate change. An extended drought or freeze or a high
category hurricane could permanently damage or destroy a tree crop area. If orchards have to be replanted, trees may not produce
viable product for several years. Since our recurring revenue is dependent on growers’ and farmers’ ability to provide high quality
crops to certain of our customers, our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows could be materially adversely
impacted in the event of a freeze, hurricane, drought, or other natural disaster.
Climate change and climate change legislation or regulations may adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of
operations, and cash flows.
Most scientists have concluded that increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere may produce significant physical
effects, such as increased frequency and severity of storms, droughts, and floods and other climate events, that could have adverse
physical and financial effects on our operations. Extreme weather conditions in general require more system backup, adding to costs,
and can contribute to service and supply chain interruptions.
A number of governmental bodies have finalized, proposed, or are contemplating legislative and regulatory changes in response to the
potential effects of climate change. Such legislation or regulation has and potentially could include provisions for a “cap and trade”
system of allowances and credits or a carbon tax, limiting availability of arable land among other provisions that would likely have a
negative impact our customers in both AeroTech and Food Tech industry.
We, along with other companies in many business sectors, including our customers, are considering and implementing ways to reduce
emissions of green house gas. As a result, our customers may request that changes be made to our products or facilities, as well as
17
other aspects of our production processes, that increase costs and may require the investment of capital. The failure to comply with
these requests could adversely affect our relationships with some customers, which in turn could adversely affect our business,
financial condition and results of operations.
We could face increased costs related to defending and resolving legal claims and other litigation related to climate change and the
alleged impact of our operations on climate change.
We are subject to risks related to corporate social responsibility.
Global business are facing increasing public scrutiny related to environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) activities. We risk
damage to our brand and reputation if we fail to act responsibly in a number of areas, such as diversity and inclusion, environmental
stewardship, support for local communities, corporate governance, and employee health and safety. Adverse incidents with respect to
ESG activities could impact the value of our brand, the cost of our operations and relationships with customers, all of which could
adversely affect our business and results of operations.
Our failure to comply with the laws and regulations governing our U.S. government contracts or the loss of production funding of
any of our U.S. government contracts could harm our business.
The U.S. government represented approximately 1% of our 2019 revenue, directly or through subcontracts. Our JBT AeroTech
business contracts with the U.S. government and subcontracts with defense contractors conducting business with U.S. government. As
a result, we are subject to various laws and regulations that apply to companies doing business with the U.S. government.
The laws governing U.S. government contracts differ in several respects from the laws governing private company contracts.
Government contracts are highly regulated to curb misappropriation of funds and to ensure uniform policies and practices across
various governmental agencies. Funding for such contracts is tied to national defense budgets and procurement programs that are
annually negotiated and approved or disapproved by the U.S. Department of Defense, the Executive Branch, and the Congress. For
example, if there were any shifts in spending priorities or if funding for the military aircraft programs were reduced or canceled as a
result of the sequestration, policy changes, or for other reasons, the resulting loss of revenue could have a material adverse impact on
our AeroTech business. Many U.S. government contracts contain pricing terms and conditions that are not applicable to private
contracts. In particular, U.S. defense contracts are unilaterally terminable at the option of the U.S. government with compensation only
for work completed and costs incurred to date. In addition, any deliverable delays under such contracts as a result of our non-
performance could also have a negative impact on these contracts.
Non-compliance with the laws and regulations governing U.S. government contracts or subcontracts may result in significant
sanctions such as debarment (restrictions from future business with the government). If we were found not to be in compliance now or
in the future with any such laws or regulations, our results of operations could be adversely impacted.
Terrorist attacks and threats, escalation of military activity in response to such attacks, acts of war, or outbreak of pandemic
diseases may negatively affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
Any future terrorist attacks against U.S. targets, rumors or threats of war, actual conflicts involving the United States or its allies, or
military or trade disruptions affecting our customers or the economy as a whole may materially adversely affect our operations or
those of our customers. Strategic targets such as those relating to transportation and food processing may be at greater risk of future
terrorist attacks than other targets in the United States. Our airport authority, airline, air cargo and ground handling customers are also
particularly sensitive to safety concerns, and their businesses may decline after terrorist attacks or threats or during periods of political
instability when travelers are concerned about safety issues. Furthermore, outbreaks of pandemic diseases, such as coronavirus, or the
fear of such events, could provoke responses, including government-imposed travel restrictions and extended shutdown of certain
businesses, customers, and/or supply chain disruptions in affected regions. As a result, there could be delays or losses in transportation
and deliveries to our customers, decreased sales of our products, and delays in payments by our customers. A decline in these
customers’ businesses could have a negative impact on their demand for our products. It is possible that any of these occurrences, or a
combination of them, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
The cumulative loss of several significant contracts may negatively affect our business, financial condition, results of operations,
and cash flows.
We often enter into large, project-oriented contracts, or long-term equipment leases and service agreements. These agreements may be
terminated or breached, or our customers may fail to renew these agreements. If we were to lose several significant agreements and if
we were to fail to develop alternative business opportunities, we could experience a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
18
We may lose money or not achieve our expected profitability on fixed-price contracts.
As is customary for several of the business areas in which we operate, we may provide products and services under fixed-price
contracts. Under such contracts, we are typically responsible for cost overruns. Our actual costs and any gross profit realized on these
fixed-price contracts may vary from our estimates on which the pricing for such contracts was based. There are inherent risks and
uncertainties in the estimation process, including those arising from unforeseen technical and logistical challenges or longer than
expected lead times for sourcing raw materials and assemblies. A fixed-price contract may significantly limit or prohibit our ability to
mitigate the impact of unanticipated increases in raw material prices (including the price of steel and other significant raw materials)
by passing on such price increases. Depending on the volume of our work performed under fixed-price contracts at any one time,
differences in actual versus estimated performance could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results
of operations, and cash flows.
Customer sourcing initiatives may adversely affect our new equipment and aftermarket businesses.
Many multi-national companies, including our customers and prospective customers, have undertaken supply chain integration to
provide a sustainable competitive advantage against their competitors. Under continued price pressure from consumers, wholesalers
and retailers, our manufacturer customers are focused on controlling and reducing cost, enhancing their sourcing processes, and
improving their profitability.
A key value proposition of our equipment and services is low total cost of ownership. If our customers implement sourcing initiatives
that focus solely on immediate cost savings and not on total cost of ownership, our new equipment and aftermarket sales could be
adversely affected.
To remain competitive, we need to rapidly and successfully develop and introduce complex new solutions in a global, competitive,
demanding, and changing environment.
If we lose our significant technology advantage in our products and services, our market share and growth could be materially
adversely affected. In addition, if we are unable to deliver products, features, and functionality as projected, we may be unable to meet
our commitments to customers, which could have a material adverse effect on our reputation and business. Significant investments in
research and development efforts that do not lead to successful products, features, and functionality, could also materially adversely
affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows could be materially adversely affected by competing
technology. Some of our competitors are large multinational companies that may have greater financial resources than us, and they
may be able to devote greater resources to research and development of new systems, services, and technologies than we are able to
do. Moreover, some of our competitors operate in narrow business areas, allowing them to concentrate their research and development
efforts more directly on products and services for those areas than we may be able to.
High capacity products or products with new technology may be more likely to experience reliability, quality, or operability
problems.
Even with rigorous testing prior to release and investment in product quality processes, problems may be found in newly developed or
enhanced products after such products are launched and shipped to customers. Resolution of such issues may cause project delays,
additional development costs, and deferred or lost revenue.
New products and enhancements of our existing products may also reduce demand for our existing products or could delay purchases
by customers who instead decide to wait for our new or enhanced products. Difficulties that arise in our managing the transition from
our older products to our new or enhanced products could result in additional costs and deferred or lost revenue.
We may need to make significant capital and operating expenditures to keep pace with technological developments in our industry.
The industries in which we participate are constantly undergoing development and change, and it is likely that new products,
equipment, and service methods will be introduced in the future. We may need to make significant expenditures to purchase new
equipment and to train our employees to keep pace with any new technological developments. These expenditures could adversely
affect our results of operations and financial condition.
19
If we are unable to develop, preserve, and protect our intellectual property assets, our business, financial condition, results of
operations, and cash flows may be negatively affected.
We strive to protect and enhance our proprietary intellectual property rights through patent, copyright, trademark, and trade secret
laws, as well as through technological safeguards and operating policies and procedures. To the extent we are not successful, our
business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows could be materially adversely impacted. We may be unable to
prevent third parties from using our technology without our authorization, or from independently developing technology that is similar
to ours, particularly in those countries where the laws do not protect our proprietary rights as fully as in others. With respect to our
pending patent applications, we may not be successful in securing patents for these claims, and our competitors may already have
applied for patents that, once issued, will prevail over our patent rights or otherwise limit our ability to sell our products.
Claims by others that we infringe their intellectual property rights could harm our business, financial condition, results of
operations, and cash flows.
We have seen a trend towards aggressive enforcement of intellectual property rights as product functionality in our industry
increasingly overlaps and the number of issued patents continues to grow. As a result, there is a risk that we could be subject to
infringement claims which, regardless of their validity, could:
•
•
•
•
be expensive, time consuming, and divert management attention away from normal business operations;
require us to pay monetary damages or enter into non-standard royalty and licensing agreements;
require us to modify our product sales and development plans; or
require us to satisfy indemnification obligations to our customers.
Regardless of whether these claims have any merit, they can be burdensome and costly to defend or settle and can harm our business
and reputation.
Infrastructure failures or catastrophic loss at any of our facilities could lead to production or service curtailments or shutdowns.
We manufacture our products at facilities in the United States, Belgium, Sweden, Brazil, Italy, Spain, United Kingdom, the
Netherlands and Germany. An interruption in production or service capabilities at any of our facilities as a result of equipment failure
or other reasons could result in our inability to manufacture our products. In the event of a stoppage in production at any of our
facilities, even if only temporary, or if we experience delays as a result of events that are beyond our control, delivery times to our
customers could be severely affected. Any significant delay in deliveries to our customers could lead to cancellations. Our facilities are
also subject to the risk of catastrophic loss due to unanticipated events such as earthquake, fire, natural disaster, explosions, power
loss, unauthorized intrusions, hurricanes, and other catastrophic events. We may also experience plant shutdowns or periods of
reduced production as a result of equipment failure, delays in deliveries or catastrophic loss, which could have a material adverse
effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
The business continuity of our information systems, computer equipment, and information databases are critical to our business
operations, and any damage or disruptions could negatively affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and
cash flows.
Our operations are dependent on our ability to protect our computer equipment and the information stored in our databases from
damage by, among other things, earthquake, fire, natural disaster, power loss, telecommunications failures, unauthorized intrusions,
hurricane, and other catastrophic events. A part of our operations is based in an area of California that has experienced earthquakes
and other natural disasters, while another part of our operations is based in an area of Florida that has experienced hurricanes and other
natural disasters. Despite our best efforts at planning for such contingencies, catastrophic events of this nature may still result in
system failures and other interruptions in our operations, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
In addition, it is periodically necessary to replace, upgrade, or modify our internal information systems. For example we are currently
in the process of implementing common Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems across the majority of our businesses. If we are
unable to do this in a timely and cost-effective manner, especially in light of demands on our information technology resources, our
ability to capture and process financial transactions and therefore our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash
flows may be materially adversely impacted.
20
We are subject to cyber-security risks arising out of breaches of security relating to sensitive company, client, and employee
information and to the technology that manages our operations and other business processes.
Our business operations rely upon secure information technology systems for data capture, processing, storage, and reporting.
Notwithstanding careful security and controls design, our information technology systems, and those of our third-party providers
could become subject to cyber-attacks. Network, system, application, and data breaches could result in operational disruptions or
information misappropriation, including, but not limited to, inability to utilize our systems, and denial of access to and misuse of
applications required by our clients to conduct business with us. Phishing and other forms of electronic fraud may also subject us to
risks associated with improper access to financial assets and customer information. Theft of intellectual property or trade secrets and
inappropriate disclosure of confidential information could stem from such incidents. Any such operational disruption and/or
misappropriation of information could result in lost sales, negative publicity or business delays and could have a material adverse
effect on our business. In addition, requirements under the privacy laws of the jurisdictions in which we operate, such as the EU
General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) effective from May 1, 2018 and California Consumer Privacy Act effective from January
1, 2020, impose significant costs that are likely to increase over time.
Our business success depends on retaining our senior management and other key personnel and attracting and retaining other
qualified employees.
We depend on our senior executive officers and other key personnel. The loss of any of these officers or key personnel could
materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. In addition, competition for
employees among companies that rely heavily on engineering, technology, and manufacturing is intense, and the loss of employees or
an inability to attract, retain, and motivate additional employees required for the operation and expansion of our business could hinder
our ability to conduct research activities successfully, develop new products and services and meet our customers’ requirements.
The industries in which we operate expose us to potential liabilities arising out of the installation or use of our systems that could
negatively affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
Our equipment, systems and services create potential exposure for us for personal injury, wrongful death, product liability, commercial
claims, product recalls, production loss, property damage, pollution, and other environmental damages. In the event that a customer
who purchases our equipment becomes subject to claims relating to food borne illnesses or other food safety or quality issues relating
to food processed through the use of our equipment, we could be exposed to significant claims from our customers. Although we have
obtained business and related risk insurance, we cannot assure you that our insurance will be adequate to cover all potential liabilities.
Further, we cannot assure you that insurance will generally be available in the future or, if available, that premiums to obtain such
insurance will be commercially reasonable. If we incur substantial liability and damages arising from such liability are not covered by
insurance or are in excess of policy limits, or if we were to incur liability at a time when we are not able to obtain liability insurance,
our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows could be materially adversely affected.
Environmental protection initiatives may negatively impact the profitability of our business.
Future environmental regulatory developments in the United States and abroad concerning environmental issues, such as climate
change, could adversely affect our operations and increase operating costs and, through their impact on our customers, reduce demand
for our products and services. Actions may be taken in the future by the U.S. government, state governments within the United States,
foreign governments, or by signatory countries through a new global climate change treaty to regulate the emission of greenhouse
gases. Pressures to reduce the footprint of carbon emissions impact the air transportation and manufacturing sectors. Airports, airlines,
and air cargo providers are continually looking for new ways to become more energy efficient and reduce pollutants. Manufacturing
plants are seeking means to reduce their heat-trapping emissions and minimize their energy and water usage. The precise nature of any
such future environmental regulatory requirements and their applicability to us and our customers are difficult to predict, but the
impact to us and the industries that we serve would likely be adverse and could be significant, including the potential for increased
fuel costs, carbon taxes or fees, or a requirement to purchase carbon credits.
Our operations and industries are subject to a variety of U.S. and international laws, which can change. We therefore face
uncertainties with regard to lawsuits, regulations, and other related matters.
In the normal course of business, we are subject to proceedings, lawsuits, claims, and other matters, including those that relate to the
environment, health and safety, employee benefits, import and export compliance, intellectual property, product liability, tax matters,
securities regulation, and regulatory compliance. For example, we are subject to changes in foreign laws and regulations that may
encourage or require us to hire local contractors or require foreign contractors to employ citizens of, or purchase supplies from, a
particular non-U.S. jurisdiction. In addition, environmental laws and regulations affect the systems and services we design, market and
sell, as well as the facilities where we manufacture our systems. We are required to invest financial and managerial resources to
comply with environmental laws and regulations and anticipate that we will continue to be required to do so in the future.
21
We could be adversely affected by violations of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and similar worldwide anti-bribery laws.
The U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), the U.K. Bribery Act of 2010 (the U.K. Bribery Act), and similar anti-bribery laws in
other jurisdictions generally prohibit companies and their intermediaries from making improper payments for the purpose of obtaining
or retaining business. Our policies mandate compliance with these anti-bribery laws. We operate in many parts of the world that have
experienced governmental corruption to some degree and, in certain circumstances, strict compliance with anti-bribery laws may
conflict with local customs and practices. Despite our training and compliance programs, there is no assurance that our internal control
policies and procedures will protect us from acts committed by our employees or agents. If we are found to be liable for FCPA, the
U.K. Bribery Act or other similar violations (either due to our own acts, or due to the acts of others), we could suffer from civil and
criminal penalties or other sanctions, which could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, and results of
operations.
We are subject to governmental export controls and economic sanctions laws that could impair our ability to compete in
international markets and subject us to liability if we are not in full compliance with applicable laws.
Our business activities are subject to various restrictions under U.S. export controls and trade and economic sanctions laws, including
the U.S. Commerce Department’s Export Administration Regulations (EAR), the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR),
and economic and trade sanctions regulations maintained by the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control
(OFAC). We are subject to similar laws and regulations in other countries in which we operate or make sales. If we fail to comply with
these laws and regulations, we and certain of our employees could be subject to civil or criminal penalties and reputational harm.
Obtaining the necessary authorizations, including any required license, for a particular transaction may be time-consuming, is not
guaranteed, and may result in the delay or loss of sales opportunities. Furthermore, U.S. export control laws and economic sanctions
laws in the U.S. and other countries prohibit certain transactions with U.S. embargoed or sanctioned countries, governments, persons
and entities. Although we take precautions to prevent transactions with sanction targets, the possibility exists that we could
inadvertently provide our products or services to persons prohibited by sanctions. This could result in negative consequences to us,
including government investigations, penalties, and reputational harm.
Unfavorable tax law changes and tax authority rulings may adversely affect results.
We are subject to income taxes in the United States and in various foreign jurisdictions. Domestic and international tax liabilities are
subject to the allocation of income among various tax jurisdictions. Our effective tax rate could be adversely affected by changes in
the mix of earnings among countries with differing statutory tax rates, changes in the valuation allowance of deferred tax assets, or tax
laws. The amount of income taxes and other taxes are subject to ongoing audits by U.S. federal, state, and local tax authorities and by
non-U.S. authorities. If these audits result in assessments different from amounts we record, future financial results may include
unfavorable tax adjustments.
If we repatriate any cash and cash equivalents from our foreign subsidiaries back to the U.S., we could be subject to significant tax
liabilities.
As of December 31, 2019, our foreign subsidiaries held $37.1 million, or 93.9%, of our cash and cash equivalents. We currently intend
that cash and cash equivalents held by these foreign subsidiaries will be indefinitely reinvested in foreign jurisdictions in order to fund
working capital requirements, make investments, and repay debt (primarily inter-company). However, if cash and cash equivalents
held by foreign subsidiaries are needed in the future to fund our operations in the United States or for the purpose of making certain
strategic investments in the U.S. or otherwise, the repatriation of such amounts to the U.S. could result in an incremental tax liability
(i.e., withholding taxes, foreign and/or U.S. state income taxes, and the impact of foreign currency movements), in the period in which
the decision to repatriate previously taxed earnings occurs. Payment of any incremental tax liability would reduce the cash available to
us to fund our operations or to make such strategic investment in the U.S. or otherwise. Refer to Note 7. Income Taxes for further
discussion.
Our business could suffer in the event of a work stoppage by our unionized or non-union labor force.
A portion of our employees in the United States are represented by collective bargaining agreements. Outside the United States, we
enter into employment contracts and agreements in certain countries in which national employee unions are mandatory or customary,
such as in Belgium, Sweden, Spain, Italy, the Netherlands, Germany and China.
Any future strikes, employee slowdowns, or similar actions by one or more unions, in connection with labor contract negotiations or
otherwise, could have a material adverse effect on our ability to operate our business.
22
Our existing financing agreements include restrictive and financial covenants.
Certain of our loan agreements require us to comply with various restrictive covenants and some contain financial covenants that
require us to comply with specified financial ratios and tests. Our failure to meet these covenants could result in default under these
loan agreements and would result in a cross-default under other loan agreements. In the event of a default and our inability to obtain a
waiver of the default, all amounts outstanding under loan agreements could be declared immediately due and payable. Our failure to
comply with these covenants could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
Fluctuations in interest rates could adversely affect our results of operations and financial position.
Our profitability may be adversely affected during any periods of unexpected or rapid increases in interest rates on our variable rate
debt outstanding at December 31, 2019. A significant increase in interest rates would significantly increase our cost of borrowings, and
may reduce the availability and increase the cost of obtaining new debt and refinancing existing indebtedness. For additional detail
related to this risk, see Part II, Item 7A, "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk."
Changes affecting the availability of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) may have consequences for JBT that cannot
yet reasonably be predicted.
We have outstanding debt and derivative transactions with variable interest rates based on LIBOR. The LIBOR benchmark has been
the subject of national, international, and other regulatory guidance and proposals for reform. In July 2017, the U.K. Financial
Conduct Authority announced that it intends to stop persuading or compelling banks to submit rates for the calculation of LIBOR after
2021. These reforms may cause LIBOR to perform differently than in the past and LIBOR may ultimately cease to exist after 2021.
Alternative benchmark rate(s) may replace LIBOR and could affect the Company's derivative instruments, debt payments and receipts.
At this time, it is not possible to predict the effect of any changes to LIBOR, any phase out of LIBOR or any establishment of
alternative benchmark rates. Any new benchmark rate will likely not replicate LIBOR exactly, which could impact our contracts which
terminate after 2021. There is uncertainty about how applicable law, the courts or the Company will address the replacement of
LIBOR with alternative rates on contracts that do not include alternative rate fallback provisions. In addition, any changes to
benchmark rates may have an uncertain impact on our cost of funds and our access to the capital markets, which could impact our
results of operations and cash flows.
Significant changes in actual investment return on pension assets, discount rates, and other factors could affect our results of
operations, equity, and pension contributions in future periods.
Our results of operations may be positively or negatively affected by the amount of income or expense we record for our defined
benefit pension plans. U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) require that we calculate income or expense for the
plans using actuarial valuations. These valuations reflect assumptions about financial market and other economic conditions, which
may change based on changes in key economic indicators. The most significant year-end assumptions we use to estimate pension
income or expense are the discount rate and the expected long-term rate of return on plans assets. In addition, we are required to make
an annual measurement of plan assets and liabilities, which may result in a significant change to equity through a reduction or increase
to accumulated other comprehensive income. For a discussion regarding how our financial statements can be affected by pension plan
accounting policies, see Part II, Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations -
Critical Accounting Estimates – Defined Benefit Pension and Other Post-retirement Plans and Note 8. Pension and Post-Retirement
and Other Benefit Plans to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data of
this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Although GAAP expense and pension funding contributions are not directly related, key economic
factors that affect GAAP expense would also likely affect the amount of cash we would contribute to pension plans as required under
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act.
As a result of our acquisition activity, our goodwill and intangible assets have increased significantly in recent years and we may in
the future incur impairments to goodwill or intangible assets.
When we acquire a business, a substantial portion of the purchase price of the acquisition is allocated to goodwill and other
identifiable intangible assets. The amount of the purchase price which is allocated to goodwill is determined by the excess of the
purchase price over the net identifiable assets acquired. Our balance sheet includes a significant amount of goodwill and other
intangible assets, which represents approximately 45% of our total assets as of December 31, 2019. In accordance with Accounting
Standards Codification 350 Intangibles-Goodwill and Other, our goodwill and other intangibles are reviewed for impairment annually
and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Our valuation
methodology for assessing impairment requires management to make judgments and assumptions based on historical experience and
to rely heavily on projections of future operating performance. Because we operate in highly competitive environments, projections of
our future operating results and cash flows may vary significantly from our actual results. If our estimates or the underlying
23
assumptions change in the future, we may be required to record impairment charges. Any such charge could have a material adverse
effect on our reported net income.
As a publicly traded company, we incur regulatory costs that reduce profitability.
As a publicly traded corporation, we incur certain costs to comply with regulatory requirements of the NYSE and of the federal
securities laws. If regulatory requirements were to become more stringent or if accounting or other controls thought to be effective
later fail, we may be forced to make additional expenditures, the amounts of which could be material. Many of our competitors are
privately owned, so our accounting and control costs can be a competitive disadvantage.
Our share repurchase program could increase the volatility of the price of our common stock.
On August 10, 2018, the Board authorized a share repurchase program for up to $30 million of our common stock beginning
January 1, 2019 and continuing through December 31, 2021. We intend to fund repurchases through cash flows generated by our
operations. The amount and timing of share repurchases are based on a variety of factors. Important factors that could cause us to
limit, suspend or delay the Company’s stock repurchases include unfavorable market conditions, the trading price of the
Company’s common stock, the nature of other investment opportunities presented to us from time to time, the ability to obtain
financing at attractive rates, and the availability of U.S. cash. Repurchases of our shares will reduce the number of outstanding
shares of our common stock and might incrementally increase the potential for volatility in our common stock by reducing the
potential volumes at which our common stock may trade in the public market.
Our actual operating results may differ significantly from our guidance.
We regularly release guidance regarding our future performance that represents our management’s estimates as of the date of
release. This guidance, which consists of forward-looking statements, is prepared by our management and is qualified by, and
subject to, the assumptions and the other information contained or referred to in the release or report in which guidance is given.
Our guidance is not prepared with a view toward compliance with published guidelines of the American Institute of Certified
Public Accountants, and neither our independent registered public accounting firm nor any other independent expert or outside
party compiles or examines the guidance and, accordingly, no such person expresses any opinion or any other form of assurance
with respect thereto.
Guidance is based upon a number of assumptions and estimates that, while presented with numerical specificity, are inherently
subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control
and are based upon specific assumptions with respect to future business decisions, some of which will change. We generally state
possible outcomes as high and low ranges which are intended to provide a sensitivity analysis as variables are changed, but are not
intended to represent that actual results could not fall outside of the suggested ranges. The principal reason that we release this data
is to provide a basis for our management to discuss our business outlook with analysts and investors. We do not accept any
responsibility for any projections or reports published by any such persons.
Guidance is necessarily speculative in nature, and it can be expected that some or all of the assumptions of the guidance furnished
by us will not materialize or will vary significantly from actual results. Accordingly, our guidance is only an estimate of what
management believes is realizable as of the date of release. Actual results will vary from the guidance and the variations may be
material. Investors should also recognize that the reliability of any forecasted financial data diminishes the farther in the future that
the data are forecast. In light of the foregoing, investors are urged to put the guidance in context and not to place undue reliance on
it.
Our corporate governance documents and Delaware law may delay or discourage takeovers and business combinations that our
stockholders might consider in their best interests.
Provisions in our certificate of incorporation and by-laws may make it difficult and expensive for a third-party to pursue a tender offer,
change-in-control, or takeover attempt that is opposed by our management and Board of Directors. These provisions include, among
others:
• A Board of Directors that is divided into three classes with staggered terms;
• Limitations on the right of stockholders to remove directors;
• The right of our Board of Directors to issue preferred stock without stockholder approval;
• The inability of our stockholders to act by written consent; and
24
• Rules and procedures regarding how stockholders may present proposals or nominate directors at stockholders meetings.
Public stockholders who might desire to participate in this type of transaction may not have an opportunity to do so. These anti-
takeover provisions could substantially impede the ability of public stockholders to benefit from a change-in-control or a change in
our management or Board of Directors and, as a result, may adversely affect the marketability and market price of our common stock.

ITEM 3.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. Although the results of litigation cannot be predicted
with certainty, we do not believe that the resolution of the proceedings that we are involved in, either individually or taken as a whole,
will have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.
In the normal course of our business, we are at times subject to pending and threatened legal actions, some for which the relief or
damages sought may be substantial. Although we are 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 results of operations or financial position of our
Company. However, it is possible that the ultimate resolution of such matters, if unfavorable, may be material to the results of
operations in a particular future period as the time and amount of any resolution of such actions and its relationship to the future
results of operations are not currently known.
Liabilities are established for pending legal claims only when losses associated with the claims are judged to be probable, and the loss
can be reasonably estimated. In many lawsuits and arbitrations, it is not considered probable that a liability has been incurred or not
possible to estimate the ultimate or minimum amount of that liability until the case is close to resolution, in which case no liability
would be recognized until that time.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
Executive Overview
We are a leading global technology solutions provider to high-value segments of the food and beverage industry with focus on
proteins, liquid foods and automated guided vehicle systems. We design, produce, and service sophisticated products and systems for
multi-national and regional customers through our FoodTech segment. We also sell critical equipment and services to domestic and
international air transportation customers through our AeroTech segment.
Our Elevate plan was designed to capitalize on the leadership position of our businesses and favorable macroeconomic trends. The
Elevate plan is based on a four-pronged approach to deliver continued growth and margin expansion.
• Accelerate New Product & Service Development. We are accelerating the development of innovative products and
services to provide customers with solutions that enhance yield and productivity and reduce lifetime cost of ownership.
• Grow Recurring Revenue. We are capitalizing on our extensive installed base to expand recurring revenue from
aftermarket parts and services, equipment leases, consumables and our Airport Services offerings.
• Execute Impact Initiatives. We are enhancing organic growth through initiatives that enable us to sell the entire
FoodTech portfolio globally, including enhancing our international sales and support infrastructure, localizing targeted
products for emerging markets, and strategic cross selling of products. In AeroTech, we plan to continue to develop
advanced military product offering and customer support capability to service global military customers. Additionally,
our impact initiatives are designed to support the reduction in operating cost including strategic sourcing, relentless
continuous improvement (lean) efforts, and the optimization of organization structure
• Maintain a Disciplined Acquisition Program. We are also continuing our strategic acquisition program focused on
companies that add complementary products, which enable us to offer more comprehensive solutions to customers, and
meet our strict economic criteria for returns and synergies.
We developed the JBT Operating System in 2018, introducing a new level of process rigor across the company beginning in the first
quarter of 2019. The system 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 food
resources; and giving back to the communities where we live and work. Both our FoodTech equipment and AeroTech equipment
businesses have significant growth potential related to clean technologies. Our FoodTech equipment and technologies continue to
deliver quality performance while striving to minimize food waste, extend food product life, and maximize efficiency in order to
create shared value for our food and beverage customers. Our AeroTech equipment business offers a variety of power options,
including electrically powered ground support equipment, that help customers meet their environmental objectives. We know we can
do more. We ended this year by commencing a comprehensive evaluation to determine which ESG topics are most pressing for our
business. We are gathering input from investors, customers, employees and other stakeholders. The result will be a materiality matrix
informing our development of an ESG strategy, balanced to ensure we invest responsibly in initiatives that can address the risks, and
opportunities, presented by ESG.
We evaluate our operating results considering key performance indicators including segment operating profit, segment operating profit
margin, segment EBITDA (adjusted when appropriate) and segment EBITDA margins.
Business Conditions and Outlook
During 2019, operating margins have exceeded our expectations due to the strength of our aftermarket business and the contribution
from recent acquisitions. Additionally, we have continued to enhance our internal operating efficiency with the ongoing benefits of our
restructuring program and management through the JBT operating system.
In terms of top–line growth, the environment in 2019 was characterized by business uncertainty and impacted our ability to convert
healthy commercial activity into order commitments at FoodTech. However, trends remained strong at AeroTech. Moreover, revenue
from recurring sources (aftermarket parts and services and lease revenues), which represented more than 40% of total JBT revenue,
has created a more resilient JBT with greater stability and higher profitability.
33
While the demand environment at FoodTech remains uncertain, we have captured sustainable structural improvements from our
restructuring program. In addition, the real-time production information provided by the JBT Operating System enables us to
proactively align costs with current market conditions.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The results for the periods ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 include several items that affect the comparability of our results.
These non-GAAP financial measures exclude certain amounts that are included in a measure calculated under U.S. GAAP, or include
certain amounts that are excluded from a measure calculated under U.S. GAAP. By excluding or including these items, we believe we
provide greater transparency into our operating results and trends, and a more meaningful comparison of our ongoing operating
results, consistent with how management evaluates performance. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in financial
and operational evaluation, planning and forecasting.
These calculations may differ from similarly-titled measures used by other companies. The non-GAAP financial measures are not
intended to be used as a substitute for, nor should they be considered in isolation of, financial measures prepared in accordance with
U.S. GAAP.
Additional details for each Non-GAAP financial measure follow:
• Adjusted income from continuing operations and Adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations: We adjust
earnings for restructuring expense and merger and acquisition related costs ("M&A related costs"), which include integration
costs and the amortization of inventory step-up from business combinations, and transaction costs for both potential and
completed M&A transactions.
• 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 expense, pension expense other than service cost
and M&A related costs. While the Company's acquired intangible assets and fixed assets contribute to generation of our
revenue, management believes that due to the Company's focus on growth through acquisitions EBITDA and Adjusted
EBITDA facilitate an evaluation of business performance by excluding the impact of amortization and depreciation, and, in
the case of Adjusted EBITDA, without the fluctuations in the amount of certain costs that do not reflect our underlying
operating results.We use EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA internally to make operating decisions and believe this information
is helpful to investors because it allows more meaningful period-to-period comparisons of our ongoing operating results.
•
Segment Adjusted Operating Profit and Segment Adjusted EBITDA: We report segment operating profit, which is the measure
of segment profit or loss required to be disclosed in accordance with GAAP. We adjust segment operating profit for
restructuring expense and M&A related costs. We believe segment adjusted operating profit allows more meaningful period-
to period comparisons of our ongoing operating results, without the fluctuations in the amount of certain costs that do not
reflect our underlying operating results. We calculate segment Adjusted EBITDA by subtracting depreciation and
amortization from segment adjusted operating profit. While Company's acquired intangible assets and fixed assets contribute
to generation of Company's revenue, management believes that due to the Company's focus on growth through acquisitions
segment Adjusted EBITDA facilitates an evaluation of business segment performance by excluding the impact of
amortization due to the step up in value of intangible assets and depreciation of fixed assets.
• Free cash flow: We define free cash flow as cash provided by continuing operating activities, less capital expenditures, plus
proceeds from sale of fixed assets and pension contributions. For free cash flow purposes we consider contributions to
pension plans to be more comparable to payment of debt, and therefore exclude these contributions from the calculation of
free cash flow. We use free cash flow internally as a key indicator of our liquidity and ability to service debt, invest in
business combinations, and return money to shareholders. We believe this information is useful to investors because it
provides an understanding of the cash available to fund these initiatives.
• Constant currency measures: We evaluate our results of operations on both an as reported and a constant currency basis. The
constant currency presentation excludes the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. We calculate constant
currency percentages by converting our financial results in local currency for a period using the average exchange rate for the
prior period to which we are comparing.
The tables included below reconcile each non-GAAP financial measure to the most comparable GAAP financial measure.

Beginning in the first quarter of 2019, we changed our presentation of non-GAAP measures to exclude M&A related costs.
M&A related costs are excluded from the prior year results to conform to the current year presentation.
Impact on tax provision was calculated using the Company’s annual tax rate excluding discrete adjustments of 24.5%, 26.3%,
30.9% for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018, and 2017, respectively. In 2019, we have also included certain discrete
adjustments related to restructuring.

Previously Recognized amounts represent revenue reported in the period for contracts where installation was completed in
(1)
2018, but that were previously recognized under legacy GAAP during 2017 when the equipment was shipped for contracts previously
recognized upon shipment, or progress was made for former percentage of completion contracts.
Accelerated amounts represent revenue accelerated into the period as we are recognizing revenue over time on projects that

did not ship by the end of the quarter. This reflects a positive impact on our results comparable to 2017, solely due to adoption of ASC
606. Deferred amounts represent revenue not recognized in the period, but would have been under legacy GAAP. This reflects a
negative impact on our results compared to 2017, solely due to adoption of ASC 606.

Total revenue increased $26.0 million in 2019 compared to 2018. This increase reflects a 7% gain from acquisitions and 3% growth
from organic revenue, partially offset by a 7% decline in revenue due to recognition of a one-time transition benefit in 2018 from
adoption of the new revenue recognition standard, and a 2% unfavorable foreign currency translation. Recurring revenue represented
40% of total revenue compared with 37% in the prior year period.
Operating income margin was 9.7% in 2019 compared to 7.5% in 2018. This increase of 220 bps, was as a result of the following
items, partially offset by a net currency translation loss of $5.7 million in 2019:
• Gross profit margin increased 270 bps to 30.7% compared to 28.0% in 2018. This increase was the result of $17 million in
•
efficiency improvements driven by continuing restructuring activities along with higher pricing and an increase in the mix of
recurring revenue.
Selling, general and administrative expense increased in dollars and as a percentage of revenue primarily due to an increase
in acquisition costs and amortization expense from new acquisitions. As a percentage of revenue, these expenses have
increased 230 bps to 20.4% compared to 18.1% in the same period last year.
• Restructuring expense decreased $33.5 million. In 2019, we recorded restructuring expense of $13.5 million in connection
with our 2018 restructuring plan described below. As a percent of revenue, these expenses have declined 170 bps to 0.7%
compared to 2.4% in the same period last year.
Pension expense, other than service cost increased by $1.6 million driven by higher interest cost and a decrease in expected return
from plan assets.
Interest expense, net increased $4.9 million driven by higher interest of $6.5 million resulting from higher average borrowings to fund
acquisitions, partially offset by a benefit of $1.6 million from cross currency swaps.
Income tax expense for 2019 reflected an effective income tax rate of 22.6% compared to 19.1% in 2018. The higher effective tax rate
in 2019 resulted primarily from a decreased discrete tax benefit from vesting of stock based compensation awards of $2.2 million in
38
2019 compared to $4.9 million in 2018. Additionally, the 2018 effective tax rate included a $1.5 million tax adjustment related to the
remeasurement of US deferred taxes to reflect the US income tax rate decrease effective January 1, 2018.
Restructuring
In the first quarter of 2018, we implemented a program ("2018 restructuring plan") to address our global processes to flatten the
organization, improve efficiency and better leverage general and administrative resources. During the fourth quarter ended December
31, 2019, we have refined our total estimated costs in connection with this plan, with the original estimate of $60.0 million to be
recognized by the end of 2019, to a range of $62.0 million to $64.0 million to be completed in 2020. These changes reflect additional
costs identified in order to achieve expected savings.
The cumulative cost savings for the 2018 restructuring plan at the end of year 2019 was $35.9 million with savings of $21.3 million in
cost of sales and $14.6 million in selling, general and administrative expense. Incremental cost savings for the 2018 restructuring plan
during the twelve months ended December 31, 2019 was $28.5 million, with savings of $17 million in cost of sales and $11.5 million
in selling, general and administrative expense. A portion of the $28.5 million in savings was used to invest in our JBT Elevate growth
initiatives. For the 2018 restructuring plan, we expect to generate total annualized savings of approximately $55 million. Approximate
incremental cost savings we expect to realize during the year 2020 are as follows:

The timing for certain incremental cost savings has shifted from 2020 to 2019, with an additional $8.5 million of cost savings realized
during the year 2019. This shift in cost savings was driven by earlier than estimated benefit from productivity improvements and
reductions in force, and results in no change to the cumulative expected cost savings and therefore no expected impact to future
operating results or liquidity.

Refer to Note 18. Business Segments of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Segment operating profit is defined as total segment revenue less segment operating expense. Corporate expense,
restructuring expense, interest income and expense and income taxes are not allocated to the segments. Corporate expense
generally includes corporate staff-related expense, stock-based compensation, LIFO adjustments, certain foreign currency-
related gains and losses, and the impact of unusual or strategic events not representative of segment operations.
JBT FoodTech
2019 Compared With 2018
FoodTech revenue declined 2.4% for the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to 2018. Revenue from acquisitions, a 7.8%
increase, and organic growth of 1.0% were offset by an 8.3% decline reflecting the absence of the ASC 606 transition benefit included
in the year-ago period, and a 2.7% unfavorable currency translation. Organically, growth in recurring revenue streams, including
aftermarket parts and services, contributed 3% in revenue growth which was offset by 2% decline in equipment revenue. During a
period of business uncertainty that has slowed the conversion of commercial activity to customer commitments, JBT’s focus on
providing comprehensive solutions - including upgrades, enhancements, and refurbishments of existing equipment and service to our
large and expanding installed base - has demonstrated the diversity of our revenue streams.
40
FoodTech operating profit increased by $15.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to 2018, despite the decline in
revenue. A richer mix of aftermarket revenue and the savings resulting from continuing restructuring activities drove the increased
profitability, partially offset by:
•
•
•
$6.5 million in higher depreciation and amortization,
$9.7 million in higher M&A related expense a result of three acquisitions, and
$6.5 million in unfavorable currency translation.
Gross profit margins improved 380 bps driven by higher pricing and an increase in the mix of recurring revenue to equipment along
with $15 million in savings from restructuring activities in the year ended December 31, 2019 as compared to 2018. Selling, general
and administrative expenses increased by $24.9 million in the year ended December 31, 2019 as compared to 2018. Savings from
restructuring activities of $9.2 million were more than offset by $16.0 million in incremental costs associated with acquired companies
along with higher compensation and continued investments in growth initiatives.
JBT AeroTech
2019 Compared With 2018
JBT AeroTech's revenue increased $57.8 million in 2019 compared to 2018. This is a 10.4% increase with a 7.4% increase in organic
growth, a 5.8% increase from acquisitions, a one-time transition benefit in 2018 from adoption of the new revenue recognition
standard resulted in a 2.4% unfavorable impact, and currency translation had a 0.4% unfavorable impact. Revenue from our mobile
equipment business increased $27.6 million resulting from $32.4 million in revenue from acquisitions partly offset by a decline of
$4.8 million in organic sales mainly driven by fewer deicers sold to commercial customers. Revenue from our organic fixed
equipment business increased $23.8 million primarily due to higher sales of passenger boarding bridges and related products to
domestic airports. Service revenue increased by $8.7 million driven mainly by higher revenue from new and existing maintenance
contracts and currency translation had an unfavorable impact of $2.3 million.
JBT AeroTech operating profit increased $14.8 million in 2019 compared to 2018. JBT AeroTech's operating profit margin was 12.8%
compared to 11.5% in the prior year, reflecting an increase of 130 bps. Gross profit margins improved by 150 bps primarily due to
pricing, $2.1 million in efficiency improvements resulting from continuing restructuring activities and the impact of higher gross profit
margins from an acquisition. Selling, general and administrative expenses in 2019 were $7.1 million higher than 2018, including $7.3
million from acquisitions, $1.6 million in savings from restructuring, and were 30 bps higher as a percent of sales compared to 2018.
Currency translation did not have a significant impact on our operating profit comparative results for JBT AeroTech.
Corporate Expense
2019 Compared With 2018
Corporate expense increased by $19.1 million compared to 2018, driven primarily by an increase in M&A related costs, investments in
global sourcing, pension expense, and higher incentive compensation. Corporate expense as a percent of revenues increased to 3.2% in
2019 compared to 2.2% in 2018.

expect to convert almost all of JBT FoodTech backlog at December 31, 2019 into revenue during 2020.
Order backlog in our JBT AeroTech segment at December 31, 2019 decreased by $1.3 million compared to December 31, 2018. We
expect to convert 86% of the JBT AeroTech backlog at December 31, 2019 into revenue during 2020.
Seasonality
We experience seasonality in our operating results. Historically, our revenues and operating income have been lower in the first
quarter and highest in the fourth quarter primarily as a result of our customers' purchasing trends.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary sources of liquidity are cash provided by operating activities of our U.S. and foreign operations and borrowings from our
credit facility. Our liquidity as of December 31, 2019, or cash plus borrowing capacity under our credit facilities was $324.5 million.
The cash flows generated by our operations and the credit facility are expected to be sufficient to satisfy our working capital needs,
research and development activities, restructuring costs, capital expenditures, pension contributions, dividend payments, anticipated
share repurchases, acquisitions and other financing requirements. Furthermore, management continues to evaluate our capital
structure.
As of December 31, 2019, we had $39.5 million of cash and cash equivalents, $37.1 million of which was held by our foreign
subsidiaries. Although these funds are considered permanently invested in our foreign subsidiaries, we are not presently aware of any
restriction on the repatriation of these funds. We maintain significant operations outside of the U.S., and many of our uses of cash for
working capital, capital expenditures and business acquisitions arise in these foreign jurisdictions. If these funds were needed to fund
our operations or satisfy obligations in the U.S., they could be repatriated and their repatriation into the U.S. could cause us to incur
additional U.S. income taxes and foreign withholding taxes.
As noted above, funds held outside of the U.S. are considered permanently invested in our non-U.S. subsidiaries. At times, these
foreign subsidiaries have cash balances that exceed their immediate working capital or other cash needs. In these circumstances, the
foreign subsidiaries may loan funds to the U.S. parent company on a temporary basis; the U.S. parent company has in the past and
may in the future use the proceeds of these temporary intercompany loans to reduce outstanding borrowings under our committed
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.
Under Internal Revenue Service (IRS) guidance, no incremental tax liability is incurred on the proceeds of these loans as long as each
individual loan has a term of 30 days or less and all such loans from each subsidiary are outstanding for a total of less than 60 days
during the year. During 2019, each such loan was outstanding for less than 30 days, and all such loans were outstanding for less than
60 days in the aggregate. We used the proceeds of these intercompany loans to reduce outstanding borrowings under our revolving
credit facility. We may choose to access such funds again in the future to the extent they are available and can be transferred without
significant cost, and use them on a temporary basis to repay outstanding borrowings or for other corporate purposes, but intend to do
so only as allowed under this IRS guidance. There are no loans subject to this IRS guidance as of December 31, 2019.
The Board authorized a new share repurchase program of up to $30 million of the Company's common stock, effective January 1,
2019 through December 31, 2021, which replaced the prior share repurchase program. Shares may be purchased from time to time in
open market transactions, subject to market conditions. Repurchased shares become treasury shares, which are accounted for using the
cost method and are intended to be used for future awards under the Incentive Compensation Plan. No shares were repurchased under
this program in 2019. Refer to Note 11. Stockholders' Equity for further details.

Our available long-term debt is dependent upon our compliance with covenants described under the heading “Financing
Arrangements” in Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. Any
violations of covenants or other events of default, which are not waived or cured, could have a material impact on our ability
to maintain our committed financial arrangements or accelerate our obligation to repay the amount due. We were in
compliance with all debt covenants as of December 31, 2019.
Interest payments were determined using the weighted average rates for all debt outstanding as of December 31, 2019.
See Note 2. Acquisitions for further details on our recent acquisitions. Amounts remaining due to sellers, subject to certain
conditions, relate to the acquisitions of Proseal and Prime.
In the normal course of business, we enter into agreements with our suppliers to purchase raw materials or services. These
agreements include a requirement that our supplier provide products or services to our specifications and require us to make a
firm purchase commitment to our supplier. As substantially all of these commitments are associated with purchases made to
fulfill our customers’ orders, the costs associated with these agreements will ultimately be reflected in cost of sales on our
Consolidated Statements of Income.
This amount reflects planned contributions in 2020 to our pension plans. Required contributions for future years depend on
factors that cannot be determined at this time.
This amount reflects the transition tax on the previously untaxed and unrepatriated current and accumulated post-1986
foreign earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries as required by the Tax Act.

To provide required security regarding our performance on certain contracts, we provide letters of credit, surety bonds and bank
guarantees, for which we are contingently liable. In order to obtain these financial instruments, we pay fees to various financial
institutions in amounts competitively determined in the marketplace. Our ability to generate revenue from certain contracts is
dependent upon our ability to obtain these off-balance sheet financial instruments.
Our off-balance sheet financial instruments may be renewed, revised or released based on changes in the underlying commitment.
Historically, our commercial commitments have not been drawn upon to a material extent; consequently, management believes it is
43
not likely that there will be claims against these commitments that would result in a negative impact on our key financial ratios or our
ability to obtain financing.
Cash Flows
Cash flows for each of the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 were as follows:

Cash provided by continuing operating activities in 2019 was $110.6 million, representing a $44.0 million decrease compared to 2018.
The decrease in the operating cash flows is driven by higher trade receivables and lower advance and progress payments from
customers. These decreases in operating cash flows were partially offset by higher income in 2019 compared to 2018 combined with
lower payments related to pension and restructuring.
Cash required by investing activities during 2019 was $401.7 million, representing a $307.3 million increase compared to 2018. The
change was due primarily to a higher level of investments in acquired companies, where we paid $365.9 million for acquisitions
completed during 2019 compared to payments of $57.5 million in 2018.
Cash provided by financing activities in 2019 was $287.5 million, representing a $335.8 million increase in cash provided by
financing activities compared to 2018. The change was due primarily to higher borrowing required to fund higher investment in
acquisitions, partially offset by lower deferred acquisition payments and no stock repurchases in 2019, compared to $20 million in
2018.
Financing Arrangements
As of December 31, 2019 we had $700.9 million drawn on and $288.9 million of availability under the revolving credit facility. Our
ability to use this availability is limited by the leverage ratio covenant described below.
Our credit agreement includes covenants that, if not met, could lead to a renegotiation of our credit lines, a requirement to repay our
borrowings and/or a significant increase in our cost of financing. As of December 31, 2019, 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.
For additional information about our credit agreement, refer to Note 6. Debt of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
We have entered into interest rate swaps to fix the interest rate applicable to certain of our variable-rate debt, with agreements for $175
million notional value expiring in February 2020, and agreements for $50 million of notional value expiring in January 2021. These
agreements swap one-month LIBOR for fixed rates. We have designated these swaps as cash flow hedges and all changes in fair value
of the swaps are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). As a result, as of December 31, 2019, a portion of our
variable rate debt was effectively fixed rate debt, while approximately $475.9 million, or 68%, remained subject to floating, or market,
rates. Since December 31, 2019, agreements for $175 million notional amount have expired, and as a result, approximately $650.9
million, or 93%, of our outstanding debt as of December 31, 2019 is now subject to floating interest rates. To the extent interest rates
increase in future periods, our earnings could be negatively impacted by higher interest expense.

Critical Accounting Estimates
We prepare our consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. As such, we are
required to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions about matters that are inherently uncertain. On an ongoing basis, our
management re-evaluates these estimates, judgments and assumptions for reasonableness because of the critical impact that these
factors have on the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of
revenue and expenses during the periods presented. Management has discussed the development and selection of these critical
accounting estimates with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors and the Audit Committee has reviewed this disclosure. We
believe that the following are the critical accounting estimates used in preparing our financial statements.
Intangible Asset Valuation
Accounting for business combinations requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions at the acquisition date
specifically for the valuation of intangible assets. In the year of such acquisitions, critical estimates in valuing certain of the intangible
assets we have acquired include, but are not limited to, growth rates for future expected cash flows, discount rates, customer attrition
rates and royalty rates. The discount rates used to discount expected future cash flows to present value are typically derived from a
weighted-average cost of capital analysis and adjusted to reflect inherent risks. Unanticipated events and circumstances may occur that
could affect either the accuracy or validity of such assumptions, estimates or actual results.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize a significant portion of our revenue over time, utilizing the input method of “cost-to-cost” for contracts that provide
highly customized equipment and refurbishments of customer-owned equipment for which we have a contractual, enforceable right to
collect payment upon customer cancellation for performance completed to date. We utilize the input method of “cost-to-cost” to
recognize revenue over time which requires that we measure progress based on costs incurred to date relative to total estimated cost at
completion. These cost estimates are based on significant assumptions and estimates to project the outcome of future events including
labor productivity and availability, the complexity of the work to be performed, the cost of materials, and the performance of
subcontractors.
Income Taxes
In determining our current income tax provision, we assessed temporary differences resulting from differing treatments of items for
tax and accounting purposes. These differences resulted in deferred tax assets and liabilities which are recorded in our consolidated
balance sheet. When we maintain deferred tax assets, we must assess the likelihood that these assets will be recovered through
adjustments to future taxable income. To the extent we believe, based on available evidence, it is more likely than not that all or some
portion of the asset will not be realized, we establish a valuation allowance. We record an allowance reducing the asset to a value we
believe is more likely than not to be realized based on our expectation of future taxable income. We believe the accounting estimate
related to the valuation allowance is a critical accounting estimate because it is highly susceptible to change from period to period as it
requires management to make assumptions about our future income over the lives of the deferred tax assets, and the impact of
increasing or decreasing the valuation allowance is potentially material to our results of operations.
Forecasting future income requires us to use a significant amount of judgment. In estimating future income, we use our internal
operating budgets and long-range planning projections. We developed our budgets and long-range projections based on recent results,
trends, economic and industry forecasts influencing our segments’ performance, our backlog, planned timing of new product launches,
and customer sales commitments. Significant changes in the expected realization of the net deferred tax assets would require that we
adjust the valuation allowance, resulting in a change to net income.
Defined Benefit Pension
The measurement of pension plans’ costs requires the use of assumptions for discount rates, investment returns, employee turnover
rates, retirement rates, mortality rates and other factors. The actuarial assumptions used in our pension reporting are reviewed annually
and compared with external benchmarks to ensure that they appropriately account for our future pension and post-retirement benefit
obligations. While we believe that the assumptions used are appropriate, differences between assumed and actual experience may
affect our operating results.
Our accrued pension liability reflects the funded status of our worldwide plans, or the projected benefit obligation net of plan assets.
Our discount rate assumption is determined by developing a yield curve based on high quality corporate bonds with maturities
matching the plan’s expected benefit payment streams. The plans’ expected cash flows are then discounted by the resulting year-by-
year spot rates. The projected benefit obligation is sensitive to changes in our estimate of the discount rate. The discount rate used in
calculating the projected benefit obligation for the U.S. pension plan, which represents 85% of all pension plan obligations, was 3.28%
45
in 2019 and 3.73% in 2018 and 2017. A decrease of 50 basis points in the discount rate used in our calculation would increase our
projected benefit obligation by $18.9 million.
Our pension expense is sensitive to changes in our estimate of the expected rate of return on plan assets. The expected return on assets
used in calculating the pension expense for the U.S. pension plan, which represents 96% of all pension plan assets, was 5.75% for
2019, 6.50% for 2018 and 6.75% for 2017. For 2020, the rate is expected to be 5.0%. A change of 50 basis points in the expected
return on assets assumption would impact pension expense by $1.3 million (pre-tax).

financial statements see Note 1 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report.
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are subject to financial market risks, including fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. In order to
manage and mitigate our exposure to these risks, we may use derivative financial instruments in accordance with established policies
and procedures. We do not use derivative financial instruments where the objective is to generate profits solely from trading activities.
At December 31, 2019 and 2018, our derivative holdings consisted of foreign currency forward contracts and foreign currency
instruments embedded in purchase and sale contracts and interest rate swap contracts.
These forward-looking disclosures address potential impacts from market risks only as they affect our financial instruments. They do
not include other potential effects resulting from changes in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates, commodity prices or
equity prices that could impact our business..
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
During 2019, our foreign subsidiaries generated 33.8% of our revenue. Financial statements of our foreign subsidiaries for which the
U.S. dollar is not the functional currency are translated into U.S. dollars. As a result, we are exposed to foreign currency translation
risk.
When we sell or purchase products or services, transactions are frequently denominated in currencies other than an operation’s
functional currency. As a result, we are exposed to foreign currency transaction risk. When foreign currency exposures exist, we may
enter into foreign exchange forward instruments with third parties to economically hedge foreign currency exposures. Our hedging
policy reduces, but does not entirely eliminate, the impact of foreign currency exchange rate movements. We do not apply hedge
accounting for our foreign currency forward instruments.
We economically hedge our recognized foreign currency assets and liabilities to reduce the risk that our earnings and cash flows will
be adversely affected by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. We expect any gains or losses in the hedging portfolio to be
substantially offset by a corresponding gain or loss in the underlying exposures being hedged. We also economically hedge firmly
committed anticipated transactions in the normal course of business. As these are not offset by an underlying balance sheet position
being hedged, our earnings can be significantly impacted on a periodic basis by the change in unrealized value of these hedges.
We use a sensitivity analysis to measure the impact of an immediate 10% adverse movement in the foreign currency exchange rates.
This calculation assumes that each exchange rate would change in the same direction relative to the U.S. dollar and all other variables
are held constant. We expect that changes in the fair value of derivative instruments will offset the changes in fair value of the
underlying assets and liabilities on the balance sheet. A 10% adverse movement in the foreign currency exchange rates would reduce
the value of our derivative instruments by $4.3 million (pre-tax) as of December 31, 2019. This amount would be reflected in our net
income but would be significantly offset by the changes in the fair value of the underlying hedged assets and liabilities.
In July 2018, the Company entered into a series of cross-currency swaps with an aggregate notional of $116.4 million (€100 million)
to hedge the currency exchange component of our net investments in certain of our foreign subsidiaries. The aggregate fair value of
these swaps was in an asset position of $6.4 million at December 31, 2019. We use a sensitivity analysis to measure the impact of an
immediate 10% adverse movement in the foreign currency exchange rates underlying these swaps. A hypothetical 10% adverse
46
movement in the currency exchange rates underlying these swaps from the market rate at December 31, 2019 would have resulted in a
loss in value of the swaps by $11.2 million.
Interest Rate Risk
Our debt instruments subject us to market risk associated with movements in interest rates. As of December 31, 2019, we had interest
rate swaps totaling $225 million notional amount to fix the interest rate applicable to certain of our variable rate debt. Since December
31, 2019, agreements for $175 million notional amount have expired, and as a result, approximately $650.9 million, or 93%, of our
outstanding debt as of December 31, 2019 is now subject to floating interest rates. A hypothetical 10% adverse movement in the
interest rate would result in higher annual interest expense by $1.9 million.
We have entered into interest rate swaps to fix the interest rate applicable to certain of our variable-rate debt, with agreements for $175
million notional value expiring in February 2020, and the agreements for $50 million of notional value expiring in January 2021.
These agreements swap one-month LIBOR for fixed rates. We have designated these swaps as cash flow hedges and all changes in fair
value of the swaps are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). We use a sensitivity analysis to measure the
impact on fair value of the interest rate swaps of an immediate adverse movement in the interest rates of 50 basis points. This analysis
was based on a modeling technique that measures the hypothetical market value resulting from a 50 basis point change in interest
rates. This adverse change in the applicable interest rates would result in an decrease of $0.2 million in the net fair value of our
interest rate swaps for $50 million of notional value expiring in January 2021.

ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Stockholders and Board of Directors
John Bean Technologies Corporation:
Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of John Bean Technologies Corporation and subsidiaries (the
Company) as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in
stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2019, and the related notes and
financial statement schedule II (collectively, the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial
statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the
results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2019, in conformity with
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States)
(PCAOB), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019, based on criteria established in Internal
Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, and our
report dated March 2, 2020 expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial
reporting.
Changes in Accounting Principles
As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has changed its method of accounting for leases as of
January 1, 2019, due to the adoption of Accounting Standard Codification Topic 842, Leases, and its method of accounting for revenue
recognition as of January 1, 2018, due to the adoption of Accounting Standard Codification Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with
Customers.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB
and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to
error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial
statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining,
on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included
evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial
statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or
disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or
complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial
statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the
critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
Assessment of the Revenue Recognized for Over Time Contracts Open at Year-end
As discussed in Notes 1 and 12 to the consolidated financial statements, the company recognizes revenue over time using the cost-to-
cost method for certain contracts that provide highly customized equipment and refurbishments of customer-owned equipment. For
contracts that recognize revenue over time using the cost-to-cost method, an estimation of costs to complete for the equipment and
48
installation within the contracts is required. Product revenue for the year-ended December 31, 2019 was $1.7 billion. Of this amount,
the revenue recognized over time using the cost-to-cost method was $648 million.
We identified the assessment of the revenue recognized for over time contracts open at year-end as a critical audit matter. Estimation
of costs to complete in process contracts that provide highly customized equipment and refurbishments of customer-owned equipment
involved subjective estimates which required the application of greater auditor judgment. In addition, estimation of the costs to
complete was challenging to evaluate as changes to the assumption could have had a significant effect on the revenue recognized in
the period.
The primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter included the following. We tested certain internal controls
over the Company’s process to develop estimates of the total contract costs to be incurred, including controls over the estimate of costs
to complete the contract. We performed sensitivity analyses over the estimated costs to complete at year end to assess the impact on
the Company’s determination of the revenue recognized in the period. We tested the Company’s estimated costs to complete by
comparing the estimated costs to complete at year end to the original budget, prior period estimates, and changes in estimated costs
subsequent to the balance sheet date. We compared the Company’s estimated costs to complete for certain open contracts to actual
results of similar closed contracts. We compared the Company’s estimated costs to complete at contract inception to actual results of
closed contracts to assess the Company’s ability to accurately estimate costs for over time contracts.
Evaluation of the Fair Value of Customer Relationship and Technology Intangible Assets Related to the Proseal Acquisition
As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company makes certain assumptions and judgments in
determining fair value measurements for business acquisitions. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company acquired
Proseal UK Limited (Proseal) and accounted for the transaction as a business combination. The acquisition resulted in the recognition
of $91.5 million in intangible assets other than goodwill, the majority of which pertains to customer relationships and technology.
We identified the evaluation of the fair value of customer relationship and technology intangible assets related to the Proseal
acquisition as a critical audit matter. The evaluation of the fair value involved a high degree of subjective auditor judgment related to
the use of specific valuation assumptions. In addition, minor changes in these assumptions could have a significant impact on the fair
value of the intangible assets. The key assumptions used included the growth rates for future expected cash flows, discount rate,
customer attrition rate, and royalty rate.
The primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter included the following. We tested certain controls over the
Company’s process for determining the fair value of the intangible assets, including controls related to the selection of the key
assumptions used. We evaluated the future expected cash flows by comparing the assumptions used to Proseal’s historical performance
and to industry data. We evaluated the customer attrition rate assumption by assessing the underlying historical data from which it was
derived. We also involved valuation professionals with specialized skills and knowledge who assisted in evaluating:
• Certain growth rate assumptions for future expected cash flows used to value the customer relationship and technology
intangible assets by comparing to peer companies’ or macro-economic trend data;
• The discount rate assumption used to value the customer relationship and technology intangible assets by independently
developing a range of rates using publicly available market interest rate data and comparing the independent ranges to the
rate used by the Company;
• The customer attrition rate assumption used to value the customer relationship intangible asset by deriving an independent
computation of the assumption using Proseal’s historical data and evaluating the historical data’s application in the forecasted
cash flows; and
• The royalty rate assumption used to value the technology intangible asset by comparing to third party royalty rates.

JOHN BEAN TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of John Bean Technologies Corporation (JBT, we, or the Company) and all
wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany investments, accounts, and transactions have been eliminated.
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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.
Allowance for doubtful accounts
The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts to reserve for potentially uncollectible receivables. Allowance for
doubtful accounts as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 are not material to the financial statements.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, which includes an estimate for excess and obsolete inventories.
Inventory costs include those costs directly attributable to products, including all manufacturing overhead but excluding costs to
distribute. Cost is determined on the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) basis for certain of our domestic inventories. We exclude certain
inventories relating to over time contracts, which are stated at the actual production cost incurred to date, reduced by the portion of
these costs identified with revenue recognized. The first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method is used to determine the cost for all other
inventories.
Property, plant, and equipment
Property, plant, and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation for financial reporting purposes is provided principally on the
straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets (land improvements—20 to 35 years; buildings—20 to 50 years; and
machinery and equipment—3 to 20 years). Gains and losses are reflected in other expense, net on the Consolidated Statements of
Income upon the sale or retirement of assets. Expenditures that extend the useful lives of property, plant, and equipment are capitalized
and depreciated over the estimated new remaining life of the asset. Leasehold improvements are recorded at cost and depreciated over
the standard life of the type of asset or the remaining life of the lease, whichever is shorter.
Capitalized software costs
Other assets include the capitalized cost of internal use software, including internet web sites, and software sold as part of a product.
The assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and were $13.9 million and $15.7 million at December 31, 2019 and 2018,
respectively. These software costs include the amount paid for purchases of software and internal and external costs incurred during
the application development stage of software projects. These costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful
lives of the assets. For internal use software, the useful lives range from three to ten years. For Internet web site costs, the estimated
useful lives do not exceed three years. Capitalized software amortization expense was $3.8 million, $3.6 million, and $2.4 million for
2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
Goodwill
The Company tests goodwill for impairment annually during the fourth quarter and whenever events occur or changes in
circumstances indicate that impairment may have occurred. Impairment testing is performed for each of the Company's reporting units
by first assessing qualitative factors to see if further testing of goodwill is required. If the Company concludes that it is more likely
than not that a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying amount based on the qualitative assessment, then a quantitative test is
required. The Company may also choose to bypass the qualitative assessment and perform the quantitative test. In performing the
55
quantitative test, the Company determines the fair value of a reporting unit using the “income approach” valuation method. The
Company uses a discounted cash flow model in which cash flows anticipated over several periods, plus a terminal value at the end of
that time horizon, are discounted to their present value using an appropriate cost of capital rate. Judgment is required in developing the
assumptions for the discounted cash flow model. These assumptions include revenue growth rates, profit margin percentages, discount
rates, perpetuity growth rates, future capital expenditures, and working capital requirements, among others. If the estimated fair value
of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, the Company considers that goodwill is not impaired. If the carrying value exceeds
estimated fair value, there is an indication of impairment, and an impairment loss would be recorded. The Company calculates the
impairment loss by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit less its carrying amount, including goodwill, and would be limited to
the carrying value of the goodwill.
The Company completed its annual goodwill impairment test as of October 31, 2019 using a quantitative assessment approach. As a
result of this assessment the Company noted that the fair value of each reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, and therefore it
determined that none of its goodwill was impaired.
Acquired intangible assets
Intangible assets with finite useful lives are subject to amortization on a straight-line basis over the expected period of economic
benefit, which range from less than 1 year to 21 years. The Company evaluates whether events or circumstances have occurred that
warrant a revision to the remaining useful lives of intangible assets. In cases where a revision is deemed appropriate, the remaining
carrying amounts of the intangible assets are amortized over the revised remaining useful life.
The carrying values of intangible assets with indefinite lives are reviewed for recoverability on an annual basis, and whenever events
occur or changes in circumstances indicate that impairment may have occurred. The facts and circumstances considered include an
assessment of the recoverability of the cost of intangible assets from future cash flows to be derived from the use of the asset. It is not
possible to predict the likelihood of any possible future impairments or, if such an impairment were to occur, the magnitude of any
impairment. However, any potential impairment would be limited to the carrying value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset.
The annual evaluation for impairment of these indefinite-lived intangible assets performed as of October 31, 2019 did not result in
any impairment.
Impairment of long-lived assets
Long-lived assets other than goodwill and acquired indefinite-lived intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the long-lived asset may not be recoverable. The carrying amount of a
long-lived asset is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual
disposition of the asset. If it is determined that an impairment loss has occurred, the loss is measured as the amount by which the
carrying amount of the long-lived asset exceeds its fair value.
Revenue recognition
The following is the revenue recognition policy beginning January 1, 2018, upon adoption of ASC 606, Revenue from contracts with
customers:
Revenue is measured based on consideration specified in a contract with a customer, and excludes any sales incentives and amounts
collected on behalf of third parties when the Company is acting in an agent capacity. The Company recognizes revenue when it
satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control of a product or service to a customer.
Performance Obligations & Contract Estimates
A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer. A contract’s transaction price
is allocated to each distinct performance obligation based on its respective stand-alone selling price and recognized as revenue when,
or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. A large portion of revenue across the Company is derived from manufactured
equipment, which may be customized to meet customer specifications.
The Company's contracts with customers in both segments often include multiple promised goods and/or services. For instance, a
contract may include equipment, installation, optional warranties, periodic service calls, etc. The Company frequently has contracts for
which the equipment and installation are considered a single performance obligation. In these instances the installation services are
not separately identifiable as the installation goes above and beyond the basic assembly, set-up and testing and therefore significantly
customizes or modifies the equipment. However, the Company also has contracts where the installation services are deemed to be
separately identifiable as the nature of these services are considered basic assembly, set-up and testing, and are therefore deemed to be
56
a separate performance obligation. This generally occurs in contracts where the Company manufactures standard equipment.
When a performance obligation is separately identifiable, as defined in ASC 606, the Company allocates a portion of the contract price
to the obligation and recognizes it separately from the other performance obligations. Contract price allocation among multiple
performance obligations is based on the relative standalone selling price of each distinct good or service in the contract. When not sold
separately, an estimate of the standalone selling price is determined using expected cost plus a reasonable margin.
The timing of revenue recognition for each performance obligation is either over time as control transfers or at a point in time. The
Company recognizes revenue over time for contracts that provide service over a period of time, for refurbishments of customer-owned
equipment, and for highly customized equipment for which the Company has a contractual, enforceable right to collect payment upon
customer cancellation for performance completed to date. Revenue generated from standard equipment, highly customized equipment
contracts without an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date, as well as aftermarket parts and services sales,
are recognized at a point in time.
The Company utilizes the input method of “cost-to-cost” to recognize revenue over time. The Company measures progress based on
costs incurred to date relative to total estimated cost at completion. Incurred cost represents work performed, which corresponds with,
and therefore depicts, the transfer of control to the customer. Contract costs include labor, material, and certain allocated overhead
expense. Material costs are considered incurred, and therefore included in the cost-to-cost measure of progress, when they are used in
manufacturing and therefore customize the asset. Cost estimates are based on various assumptions to project the outcome of future
events; including labor productivity and availability, the complexity of the work to be performed, the cost of materials, and the
performance of subcontractors. During the year, we recognized $648 million in revenue for over time projects using the cost-to-cost
method.
Revenue attributable to equipment which qualifies as point in time is recognized when customers take control of the asset. For
equipment where installation is separately identifiable, the Company generally determines that control transfers when the customer
has obtained legal title and the risks and rewards of ownership, which is dependent upon the shipping terms within the contract. For
customized equipment where installation is not separately identifiable, but where the Company does not have an enforceable right to
payment for performance completed to-date, it defines control transfer as the point in time in which it is able to objectively verify that
the customer has the capability of full use of the asset as intended per the contract as this is when the risks and rewards of ownership
transfer to the customer. Service revenue is recognized over time either proportionately over the period of the underlying contract or
when services are complete, depending on the terms of the arrangement.
Any expected losses for a contract are charged to earnings, in total, in the period such losses are identified.
The Company generally bills customers in advance, and progress billings generally are issued upon the completion of certain phases
of the work as stipulated in the contract. The Company may extend credit to customers in line with industry standards where it is
strategically advantageous.
Within the JBT AeroTech segment, maintenance and repair service for baggage handling systems, facilities, gate systems, and ground
support equipment is provided. The timing of contract billings is concurrent with the completion of the services, and therefore the
Company has availed itself of the practical expedient that allows it to recognize revenue commensurate with the amount to which it
has a right to invoice, which corresponds directly to the value to the customer of performance completed to date.
The following discussion focuses on the revenue recognition methodology in place as of December 31, 2017 and prior.
For most of our products we recognize revenue when the following criteria are met: we have an agreement with the customer, the
product has been delivered to the customer, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured.
Each customer arrangement is evaluated to determine the presence of multiple deliverables. For multiple-element revenue
arrangements, such as the sale of equipment with a service agreement, we allocate the contract value to the various elements based on
relative selling price for each element and recognize revenue consistent with the nature of each deliverable.
Our standard agreements generally do not include customer acceptance provisions. However, if there is a customer-specific acceptance
provision, the associated revenue is deferred until we have satisfied the acceptance provision.
Certain of our product sales are generated from construction-type contracts and revenue is recognized under the percentage of
completion method. Under this method, revenue is recognized as work progresses on each contract. However, revenue recognition
does not begin until a substantial portion of the labor hours are incurred to ensure that revenue is not recognized based solely upon
materials procurement. Depending upon the product, we measure progress using an input method, such as costs incurred, or an output
57
method, such as units completed or milestones achieved. Any expected losses are charged to earnings, in total, in the period the losses
are identified.
Service revenue is recognized either when performance is complete or proportionately over the period of the underlying contract,
depending on the terms of the arrangement.
Some of our operating lease revenue is earned from full-service leases for which we are paid annual fixed rates plus, in some cases, an
additional amount based on production volumes. Revenue from production volumes is recognized when determinable and collectible.
Research and development
The objectives of the research and development programs are to create new products and business opportunities in relevant fields, and
to improve existing products. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development expense of $28.5
million, $26.9 million, and $28.7 million for 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively, is recorded in selling, general and administrative
expense.
Income taxes
Income taxes are provided on income reported for financial statement purposes, adjusted for permanent differences between financial
statement reporting and income tax regulations. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates, and reflect the
expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. A
valuation allowance is established whenever management believes that it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets may not be
realizable.
A liability for uncertain tax positions is recorded whenever management believes it is not likely that the position will be sustained on
examination based solely on its technical merits. Interest and penalties related to underpayment of income taxes are classified as
income tax expense.
Income taxes are not provided on undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries or affiliates when it is management’s intention that
such earnings will remain invested in those companies. Taxes are provided on such earnings in the year in which the decision is made
to repatriate the earnings.
Stock-based employee compensation
The Company measures compensation cost on restricted stock awards based on the market price of common stock at the grant date
and the number of shares awarded. The compensation cost for each award is recognized ratably over the lesser of the stated vesting
period or the period until the employee becomes retirement eligible, after taking into account forfeitures.
Foreign currency
Financial statements of operations for which the U.S. dollar is not the functional currency are translated to the U.S. dollar prior to
consolidation. Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date, while income statement
accounts are translated at the average exchange rate for each period. For these operations, translation gains and losses are recorded as
a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in stockholders’ equity until the foreign entity is sold or liquidated.
Derivative financial instruments
Derivatives are recognized in the consolidated balance sheets at fair value, with classification as current or non-current based upon the
maturity of the derivative instrument. The Company does not offset fair value amounts for derivative instruments held with the same
counterparty. Changes in the fair value of derivative instruments are recorded in current earnings or deferred in accumulated other
comprehensive loss, depending on the type of hedging transaction and whether a derivative is designated as, and is effective as, a
hedge.
In the Consolidated Statements of Income, earnings from foreign currency derivatives related to sales and remeasurement of sales-
related assets, liabilities and contracts are recorded in revenue, while earnings from foreign currency derivatives related to purchases
and remeasurement of purchase-related assets, liabilities and contracts are recorded in cost of products. Earnings from foreign
currency derivatives related to cash management of foreign currencies throughout the world and remeasurement of cash are recorded
in selling, general and administrative expenses.
58
When hedge accounting is applied, the Company ensures that the derivative is highly effective at offsetting changes in anticipated
cash flows of the hedged item or transaction. Changes in fair value of derivatives that are designated as cash flow hedges are deferred
in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) until the underlying transactions are recognized in earnings. At such time, related
deferred hedging gains or losses are also recorded in earnings on the same line as the hedged item. Effectiveness is assessed at the
inception of the hedge. The Company documents risk management strategy and method for assessing hedge effectiveness at the
inception of and throughout the term of each hedge.
The Company's cross-currency swap agreements synthetically swap U.S. dollar denominated fixed rate debt for Euro denominated
fixed rate debt and are designated as net investment hedges for accounting purposes. The gains or losses on these derivative
instruments are included in the foreign currency translation component of other comprehensive income until the net investment is
sold, diluted, or liquidated. Interest payments received for the cross currency swaps are excluded from the net investment hedge
effectiveness assessment and are recorded in interest expense, net on the Consolidated Statements of Income.
For derivatives with components excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness, the accumulated gains or losses recorded in
accumulated other comprehensive income on such excluded components in a qualifying cash flow or net investment hedging
relationship are reclassified to earnings on a systematic and rational basis over the hedge term.
Cash flows from derivative contracts are reported in the consolidated statements of cash flows in the same categories as the cash flows
from the underlying transactions.
Leases
Lessee accounting
The Company adopted ASC 842 on January 1, 2019 and included below is the accounting policy for lessee accounting.
The Company leases office space, manufacturing facilities and various types of manufacturing and data processing equipment. Leases
of real estate generally provide that the Company pays for repairs, property taxes and insurance. At the inception of an arrangement,
the Company determines whether the arrangement is or contains a lease based on whether the contract conveys the right to control the
use of identified property, plant or equipment for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Leases are classified as operating or
finance leases at the commencement date of the lease. Operating leases are included in operating lease ROU assets, other current
liabilities, and operating lease liabilities in the consolidated Balance Sheet, which are reported within other assets, other current
liabilities and other liabilities, respectively. Lease liabilities are classified between current and long-term liabilities based on their
payment terms. The ROU asset balance for finance leases is included in property, plant, and equipment, net in the Balance Sheet. In
accordance with the standard, the Company has elected not to recognize leases with terms of less than one year on the Balance Sheet.
ROU assets represent the Company's right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent an obligation to
make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date
based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As the implicit rate is generally not readily determinable for most of
its leases, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate at commencement date in determining the present value of lease
payments. We determined the incremental borrowing rate for all leases, based on the rate of interest that the Company would have to
pay to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments on a collateralized basis over a similar term. The Company used an unsecured
borrowing rate and risk-adjusted that rate to approximate a collateralized rate. The operating lease ROU asset also includes prepaid
rent and reflects the unamortized balance of lease incentives. Lease expense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis
over the lease term.
The Company elected the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components for leases other than leases of vehicles
and communication equipment. For the asset categories of real estate, manufacturing, office and IT equipment, the Company accounts
for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component.
The Company's leases may include renewal and termination options, which are included in the lease term if the Company concludes that
it is reasonably certain that it will exercise the option. Some leases give the option to renew, with renewal terms that may extend the lease
term. The exercise of lease renewal options is at the Company's sole discretion. Certain leases also include options to purchase the leased
property. The depreciable life of the ROU assets are limited by the expected lease term, unless there is a transfer of title or purchase
option reasonably certain of exercise. Our lease agreements may contain variable costs such as common area maintenance, insurance,
real estate taxes or other costs. Variable lease costs are expensed as incurred on the Consolidated Statements of Income.
The Company's lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees.
59
Lessor accounting
The Company primarily leases certain JBT FoodTech equipment, such as high capacity industrial extractors, to customers.
In most instances, the Company includes maintenance as a component of the lease agreement. ASC 842 requires lessors to separate
lease and non-lease components and further defines maintenance as a non-lease component. The Company elected to exercise the
available practical expedient of combining lease and non-lease components where the components meet both of the following criteria:
• The timing and pattern of transfer to the lessee of the lease and non-lease component are the same, and
• The lease component, if accounted for separately, would be classified as an operating lease.
As such, the leased asset and its respective maintenance component will not be accounted for separately.
In certain leases, consumables are included as a non-lease component. For these leases, the components do not qualify for the practical
expedient as the timing and pattern of transfer to the lessee are not the same. In these instances, the non-lease component will be accounted
for in accordance with ASC 606.
The Company monitors the risk associated with residual value of its leased assets. It reviews on an annual basis or more often as deemed
necessary, and adjusted residual values and useful lives of equipment leased to outside parties, as appropriate. Adjustments to residual
values result in an adjustment to depreciation expense. The Company's annual review is based on a long-term view considering historical
market price changes, market price trends, and expected life of the equipment.
Lease agreements with the Company's customers do not contain any material residual value guarantees. Certain lease agreements include
terms and conditions resulting in variable lease payments. These payments typically rely upon the usage of the underlying asset.
Certain lease agreements provide renewal options, including some leases with an evergreen renewal option. The exercise of the lease
renewal option is at the sole discretion of the lessee. In most instances, the lease can only be terminated in cases of breach of contract.
In these instances, termination fees do not apply. Certain lease agreements also allow the lessee to purchase the leased asset at fair market
value or a specific agreed upon price. The exercise of the lease purchase option is at the sole discretion of the lessee.
Reclassifications
Within the our Consolidated Statements of Income, the Company has condensed research and development expense and other
operating expense, net with selling, general and administrative expense for the prior years to conform to current year presentation. In
addition, the Company has reclassified pension expense other than service cost for prior years to conform to current year presentation.
Within the Consolidated Statements of Changes in Stockholders' Equity, the Company has condensed dividends on stock-based
payment arrangements into common stock cash dividends for the prior years to conform to the current year presentation.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
Beginning in February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases ("ASC 842"), plus a number of related statements designed
to clarify and interpret ASC 842. The core principle of the ASU is the requirement for lessees to report a right of use asset ("ROU
asset") and a lease payment obligation on the Balance Sheet, but recognize expenses on their Income Statement in a manner similar to
legacy accounting. For lessors, the guidance remains substantially unchanged from legacy U.S. GAAP. The Company designed
disclosures to meet the objective of enabling users of financial statements to assess the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows
arising from leases.
The Company adopted ASC 842 as of January 1, 2019, using the cumulative-effect transition method with the required modified
retrospective approach. The cumulative-effect transition method enables an entity to record existing leases at the date of adoption
without restating comparative periods; rather the cumulative effect of the change is recorded as an adjustment to equity, if needed, at
the beginning of the year of adoption.
The Company elected the following practical expedients as permitted per the guidance:
• The ‘package of practical expedients’ which permits the Company not to reassess under the new standard its prior
conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. The Company has elected this package of
practical expedients in its entirety.
• The short-term lease recognition exemption for all leases that qualify. This means, for those leases that qualify, the Company
will not recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities for existing short-term leases of assets.
60
• The practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components for all of its leases other than leases of vehicles and
communication equipment given the predominance of the service component for these leases.
• The use of hindsight to determine the lease term for existing leases and assessing the likelihood that a lessee renewal,
termination or purchase option will be exercised.
The adoption of ASC 842 resulted in recording ROU assets of $32.3 million in other assets and lease liabilities of $10.8 million in
other current liabilities and $23.3 million in other liabilities, as of January 1, 2019. The difference between the ROU assets and lease
liabilities is driven primarily by lease incentives that were reclassified from a long-term liability account to the ROU asset balance.
The income tax accounting impact of ASC 842 adoption resulted in recording a deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability of $8.8
million as of January 1, 2019. The standard did not materially impact retained earnings or consolidated net income, and had no impact
on cash flows.
Beginning in 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASC 606"), plus a number of
related ASU’s designed to clarify and interpret ASC 606. The new standard replaced most existing revenue recognition guidance in
U.S. GAAP. The core principle of the ASU requires revenue recognition based upon newly defined criteria, either at a point in time or
over time as control of goods or services is transferred. The ASU requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and
uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and estimates, and changes in
those estimates. The new standard became effective as of January 1, 2018 and was adopted on a modified-retrospective basis.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (Topic 326), which amends the
Board’s guidance on the impairment of financial instruments. The ASU adds an impairment model that is based on expected losses
rather than incurred losses, which is known as the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model. The CECL model applies to most
debt instruments (other than those measured at fair value), trade and other receivables, financial guarantee contracts, and loan
commitments. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years,
with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the effect of adopting this new accounting guidance that will be adopted on
a prospective basis.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value
Measurement, which amends Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement. ASU 2018-13 modifies the disclosure requirements for fair value
measurements by removing, modifying, or adding certain disclosures. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods, including
interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The removed and
modified disclosures will be adopted on a retrospective basis and the new disclosures will be adopted on a prospective basis. The
Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2018-13 on its disclosures.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, Compensation-Retirement Benefits-Defined Benefit Plans-General (Subtopic
715-20): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans. ASU 2018-14 modifies
disclosure requirements for defined benefit plans by removing, modifying, or adding certain disclosures. The amendments in
ASU 2018-14 will need to be applied on a retrospective basis. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods ending after
December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2018-14 on its
disclosures.

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.

During the quarter ended December 31, 2019, the Company refined estimates for deferred taxes by $(3.6) million, property, plant, and
equipment by $(2.5) million, inventory by $(1.4) million, other intangibles by $1.0 million and other working capital balances by
immaterial amounts. The impact of all adjustments in the quarter was reflected as a net increase in goodwill of $5.8 million. These
adjustments resulted in an immaterial impact to the consolidated statement of income. As of December 31, 2019, the valuation of
inventory, customer contract related accruals, intangibles, income tax balances and residual goodwill is not complete. These amounts
are subject to adjustment as additional information is obtained within the measurement period (not to exceed 12 months from the
acquisition date).
The Proseal purchase agreement includes a contingent payment due to the sellers to the extent Proseal achieves certain earnings
targets. Proseal earnings performance for the period from January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020 would result in a payment of
$17.7 million in the event earnout targets are met, and no payment if not met. Acquisition date fair value of these contingent payments
was determined to be $14.7 million for Proseal. Refer to Note 15. Fair Value Of Financial Instruments for a description of how these
values for contingent consideration obligations were determined.

During the quarter ended December 31, 2019, the Company refined estimates for working capital balances by $1.1 million. In addition
we decreased the cash consideration paid by $(2.0) million during the quarter ended December 31, 2019, reflecting a working capital
adjustment required by the purchase agreement. The impact of these adjustments was reflected as a net increase in goodwill of $3.1
million, and they resulted in an immaterial impact to the consolidated statement of income. As of December 31, 2019, the valuation of
inventory, customer contract related accruals, property, plant and equipment, intangibles, income tax balances and residual goodwill is
not complete. These amounts are subject to adjustment as additional information is obtained within the measurement period (not to
exceed 12 months from the acquisition date).
The Prime purchase agreement include contingent payments due to the sellers to the extent the Prime results exceed certain earnings
targets. These payments are based on the achievement of earnings target ranges for the respective year, and would result in a payment
ranging from $0 million to $1 million for the earnout period of calendar year 2019, and an additional payment of $0 million to $0.5
million for the earnout period of calendar year 2020. Acquisition date fair value of these contingent payments was determined at $1.3
million for Prime. Refer to Note 15. Fair Value Of Financial Instruments for a description of how these values for contingent
consideration obligations were determined.

Additional disclosures regarding 2019 and 2018 acquisitions
The acquired intangible assets subject to amortization are being amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives,
which range from seven to twenty-one years. The intangible assets acquired in 2019 include customer relationships totaling $87.0
million (14 - year weighted average useful life), technology totaling $37.6 million (9 - year weighted average useful life), and
tradenames totaling $14.7 million (20 - year weighted average useful life).
The Company expects goodwill of $61.4 million from these acquisitions to be deductible for income tax purposes.
65
During the year ended December 31, 2019, Proseal generated revenue of $60.8 million and net income of $4.3 million and remaining
acquisitions in 2019 generated aggregate revenues of $58.5 million and aggregate net income of $3.6 million.
Pro forma financial information (unaudited)
In 2019, the Company's acquisition of Proseal was material to its overall results and as such pro forma information is required under
ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations. The following information reflects the results of the Company’s consolidated operations for
the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 on a pro forma basis as if the acquisition of Proseal had been completed on January 1,
2018 instead of May 31, 2019. Pro forma adjustments have been made to illustrate the incremental impact on earnings of interest costs
on the borrowings to acquire the company, amortization expense related to acquired intangible assets, depreciation expense related to
the fair value of the acquired depreciable tangible assets, amortization of inventory step-up and the related tax impact associated with
the incremental interest costs and amortization and depreciation expense. The following unaudited pro forma information includes
$5.8 million of additional expense related to the fair value adjustment of inventories.

NOTE 6. DEBT
Five-year Revolving Credit Facility
On June 19, 2018, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National
Association, as administrative agent, and the other lenders party thereto. The Credit Agreement provides for a $1 billion revolving
credit facility that matures in June 2023. The borrowings under the Credit Agreement were used to repay in full all outstanding
indebtedness under the previous credit agreement. Revolving loans under the credit facility bear interest, at the Company's option, at
LIBOR (subject to a floor rate of zero) or an alternative base rate (which is the greater of Wells Fargo’s Prime Rate, the Federal Funds
Rate plus 50 basis points, or LIBOR plus 1%) plus, in each case, a margin dependent on the leverage ratio.
67
The Company is required to make periodic interest payments on borrowed amounts and to pay an annual commitment fee of 15.0 to
35.0 basis points, depending on its leverage ratio. As of December 31, 2019 the Company had $700.9 million drawn on and $288.9
million of availability under the revolving credit facility. The ability to use this availability is limited by the leverage ratio covenant
described below.
The obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by the Company’s domestic and certain foreign subsidiaries and
subsequently formed or acquired subsidiaries (the “Guarantors”). The obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by a first-
priority security interest in substantially all of the Guarantor’s tangible and intangible personal property and a pledge of the capital
stock of permitted borrowers and certain Guarantors.
The Company's credit facility includes restrictive covenants that, if not met, could lead to renegotiation of its credit facility, a
requirement to repay its borrowings, and/or a significant increase in its cost of financing. Restrictive covenants include a minimum
interest coverage ratio, a maximum leverage ratio, as well as certain events of default.

Included in deferred tax assets are tax benefits related to net operating loss carryforwards attributable to foreign and domestic
operations. At December 31, 2019, the Company had $7.5 million of net operating losses that are available to offset future taxable
income in several foreign jurisdictions indefinitely, and $24.1 million of net operating losses that are available to offset future taxable
income through 2026. Of the $24.1 million approximately $21.7 million of net operating losses in Switzerland are subject to a full
valuation allowance. During 2019, the Company utilized $4.3 million of net operating losses relating to prior years in the filing of the
Company's 2018 corporate income tax returns.
Also included in deferred tax assets at December 31, 2019 are $2.7 million of U.S. state research and development credit
carryforwards, which will expire beginning in 2023, if unused.
The effective income tax rate was different from the statutory U.S. federal income tax rate due to the following:

The Company does not provide for deferred taxes and foreign withholding taxes on the unremitted previously taxed earnings of
approximately $233.5 million as of December 31, 2018, unremitted pre-1987 earnings of approximately $23.3 million or unremitted
current year earnings of approximately $30.2 million of certain international subsidiaries as of December 31, 2019 as these earnings
are considered permanently reinvested under ASC 740-30-25-17. In accordance with ASC 740-30-25-17, management has
determined that certain foreign subsidiaries may make distributions out of current-year GAAP earnings of $22.1 million A
distribution from current-year GAAP earnings does not invalidate the indefinite reinvestment assertion of undistributed earnings
existing as of the end of its prior fiscal year. The Company has determined that certain foreign subsidiaries may declare and make a
distribution out of previously taxed earnings. The Company has provided the associated material tax impact in connection with such
repatriations. Undistributed earnings from these foreign subsidiaries are deemed permanently reinvested on a prospective basis to
maintain foreign business operations and for working capital needs, capital expenditures, and business acquisitions that arise in these
foreign jurisdictions.
While the Company's earnings are deemed permanently reinvested, in the event that additional foreign funds are needed in the U.S.,
the Company has the ability to repatriate additional funds out of previously taxed earnings. The repatriation could result in an
adjustment to the tax liability for foreign withholding taxes, foreign or U.S. state income taxes, and the impact of foreign currency
movements. As such, it is not practicable to calculate the unrecognized deferred tax liability on undistributed foreign earnings.

NOTE 8. PENSION AND POST-RETIREMENT AND OTHER BENEFIT PLANS
The Company sponsors qualified and nonqualified defined benefit pension plans that together cover many of its U.S. employees. The
plans provide defined benefits based on years of service and final average salary. The Company also sponsors a noncontributory plan
that provides post-retirement life insurance benefits ("OPEB") to some of its U.S. employees. Non-U.S. based employees are eligible
to participate in either Company-sponsored or government-sponsored benefit plans to which the Company contributes. The Company
also sponsors separate defined contribution plans that cover substantially all of its U.S. employees and some non-U.S. employees.
The funded status of is pension plans, together with the associated balances recognized in its consolidated financial statements as of
December 31, 2019 and 2018, were as follows:

The liability associated with the OPEB plan included in the consolidated financial statements was $(2.8) million and $(3.2) million as
of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
Amounts recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss at December 31, 2019 and 2018 were $196.4 million and $187.8
million, respectively for pensions and $(0.2) million and $0.1 million for the OPEB plan, respectively. These amounts were primarily
unrecognized actuarial gains and losses.
The accumulated benefit obligation for all pension plans was $347.2 million and $305.5 million at December 31, 2019 and 2018,
respectively. All pension plans had accumulated benefit obligations in excess of plan assets as of December 31, 2019.

The Company uses a corridor approach to recognize actuarial gains and losses that result from changes in actuarial assumptions. The
corridor approach defers all actuarial gains and losses resulting from changes in assumptions in other accumulated other
comprehensive income (loss), such as those related to changes in the discount rate and differences between actual and expected returns
on plan assets. These unrecognized gains and losses are amortized when the net gains and losses exceed 10% of the higher of the
market-related value of the assets or the projected benefit obligation for each respective plan. The amortization is on a straight-line
basis over the life expectancy of the plan’s participants for the frozen plans and the expected remaining service periods for the other
plans. The Company expects to amortize $8.0 million of net actuarial loss from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) into
net periodic benefit cost in 2020.
Beginning in 2010, the U.S. defined benefit plans were frozen to new entrants and future benefit accruals for non-union participants
were discontinued.
The following weighted-average assumptions were used to determine the benefit obligations for the pension plans:
Discount rate
Rate of compensation increase

The estimate of the expected rate of return on plan assets is based primarily on the historical performance of plan assets, asset
allocation, current market conditions and long-term growth expectations.
Plan assets
The Company's pension investment strategy balances the requirements to generate returns using higher-returning assets, such as equity
securities, with the need to control risk in the pension plan with less volatile assets, such as fixed-income securities. Risks include,
among others, the likelihood of the pension plans being underfunded, thereby increasing their dependence on Company contributions.
The assets are managed by professional investment firms and performance is evaluated against specific benchmarks.

Savings Plans
U.S. and some international employees participate in defined contribution savings plans that the Company sponsors. These plans
generally provide company matching contributions on participants’ voluntary contributions and/or company non-elective
contributions. Additionally, certain highly compensated employees participate in a non-qualified deferred compensation plan, which
also allows for company matching contributions and company non-elective contributions on compensation in excess of the Internal
Revenue Code Section 401(a) (17) limit. The expense for matching contributions was $12.9 million, $13.2 million, and $13.5 million
in 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
NOTE 9. 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 post-retirement
benefits plans, derivatives designated as hedges, and foreign currency translation adjustments. Changes in the AOCI balances for the
years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 by component are shown in the following table:

Reclassification adjustments from AOCI into earnings for pension and other post-retirement benefits plans for the year ended
December 31, 2019 were $6.0 million of charges to pension expense (income), other than service cost, net of $1.8 million in provision
for income taxes. Reclassification adjustments for derivatives designated as hedges for the year ended December 31, 2019 were $1.6
million of benefit in interest expense, net of $0.4 million in provision for income taxes. Reclassification adjustments for foreign
currency translation related to net investment hedges for the year ended December 31, 2019 were $2.9 million of benefit in interest
expense, net of $0.8 million in provision for income taxes.
Reclassification adjustments from AOCI into earnings for pension and other post-retirement benefits plans for the year ended
December 31, 2018 were $6.2 million of charges to pension expense (income), other than service cost, net of $1.7 million in provision
for income taxes. Reclassification adjustments for derivatives designated as hedges for the year ended December 31, 2018 were $0.3
million of benefit in interest expense, net of $0.1 million in provision for income taxes. Reclassification adjustments for foreign
currency translation related to net investment hedges for the year ended December 31, 2018 were $1.3 million of benefit in interest
expense, net of $0.3 million in provision for income taxes.
During the quarter ended December 31, 2018, a reclassification of $22 million was made from AOCI into retained earnings in order to
reflect the adjustment of deferred taxes due to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act enacted in December 2017 in accordance with ASU 2018-02.

As of December 31, 2019, there was $12.4 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense for outstanding awards
expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.9 years.
Incentive Compensation Plan
The Company sponsors a stock-based compensation plan (the “Incentive Compensation Plan”) that provides certain incentives and
awards to its officers, employees, directors and consultants. The Incentive Compensation Plan allows the Compensation Committee
(the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors to make various types of awards to eligible individuals. Awards that may be issued
include common stock, stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and stock units.
Restricted stock unit awards specify any applicable performance goals, the time and rate of vesting and such other provisions as
determined by the Committee. Restricted stock units generally vest after 3 years of service, but may also vest upon a change of control
as defined in the Incentive Compensation Plan. The 2017 Incentive Compensation Plan was approved by stockholders in May 2017.
The 2017 Incentive Compensation Plan replaced the prior incentive compensation plan (the “2008 Incentive Compensation Plan”),
which remains in existence solely for the purpose of governing the terms of awards that had been granted under the 2008 Incentive
Compensation Plan prior to May 2017. The aggregate number of shares of common stock that are authorized for issuance under the
2017 Incentive Compensation Plan is (i) 1,000,000 shares, plus (ii) the number of shares of common stock that remained available for
issuance under the 2008 Incentive Compensation Plan on the effective date of the 2017 Incentive Compensation Plan, plus (iii) the
number of shares of common stock that were subject to outstanding awards under the 2008 Incentive Compensation Plan on the
effective date of the 2017 Incentive Compensation Plan that are canceled, forfeited, returned or withheld without the issuance of
shares thereunder.
Impact of Retirement on Outstanding Awards
In the event of a named executive officer’s retirement from the Company upon or after attaining age 62 and a specified number of
years of service, any nonvested awards remain outstanding after retirement and vest on the originally scheduled vesting date. This
permits flexibility in retirement planning, permits the Company to provide an incentive for the vesting period and does not penalize
employees who receive awards as incentive compensation when they retire. In 2016, the Committee approved a variation to these
terms, permitting the Committee to selectively grant awards that will permit nonvested equity awards outstanding after retirement to
vest on their originally scheduled vesting date following a retirement upon or after attaining the age of 62 and 5 years of service. This
variation was approved to allow the Company the option to offer long term equity incentive compensation as a means of attracting and
retaining personnel hired near their retirement or to incentivize existing employees who are nearing retirement, but who have not been
with the Company for a full ten year period.
Restricted Stock Units

The Company grants time-based and performance-based restricted stock units that typically vest after three years, but can vary based
on the discretion of the Committee. The fair value of these awards is determined using the market value of common stock on the grant
76
date. Compensation cost is recognized over the lesser of the stated vesting period or the period until the employee meets the retirement
eligible age and service requirements under the plan.
For performance-based restricted stock units awards made in 2019, 2018, and 2017; the number of shares to be issued is dependent
upon performance over the three year period ending December 31st of the respective term, with respect to cumulative diluted earnings
per share from continuing operations and average operating return on invested capital (ROIC). ROIC is defined as net income plus
after tax net interest expense divided by average invested capital, which is an average of total shareholders equity plus debt plus future
pension expenses held in AOCI less cash and cash equivalents. Based on results achieved in 2019, 2018, and 2017, and the forecasted
amounts over the remainder of the performance period, the Company expects to issue a total of 69,708, 40,411, and 43,320 shares at
the vesting dates in April 2022, April 2021 and April 2020, respectively. Compensation cost has been measured in 2019 based on
these expectations.

On August 10, 2018, the Board authorized new share repurchase program of up to $30 million of the Company's common stock,
effective January 1, 2019 through December 31, 2021, which replaced the prior share repurchase program. Shares may be purchased
from time to time in open market transactions, subject to market conditions. Repurchased shares become treasury shares, which are
accounted for using the cost method and are intended to be used for future awards under the Incentive Compensation Plan. In 2019,
there were no share repurchases under this program.
On December 2, 2015, the Board authorized a share repurchase program for up to $30 million of common stock beginning January 1,
2016 and continuing through December 31, 2018. Shares could be purchased from time to time in open market transactions, subject to
market conditions. Repurchased shares become treasury shares, which are accounted for using the cost method and are used for future
awards under the Incentive Compensation Plan. The Company repurchased $20.0 million of common stock in 2018 and $5.0 million
of common stock in 2017 under this plan, which has now terminated.

These amounts include the transition impacts from the adoption of ASC 606 that were recognized throughout 2018. The majority
of the impact was driven by "previously recognized" amounts where installation was completed in 2018 and revenue on the full
contract was recognized, however the same contract was previously recognized under legacy GAAP upon shipment in 2017.
Transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations
The majority of the Company's contracts are completed within twelve months. For performance obligations that extend beyond one
year, the Company had $205.7 million of remaining performance obligations as of December 31, 2019. The Company expects to
complete these obligations and recognize 82% of the remaining performance obligations in 2020, and the remainder in 2021. The
Company has elected the following optional exemptions from the remaining performance obligation disclosures:
• Contracts that have an original expected duration of one year or less; and
•
Performance obligations related to revenue recognized over time using the as-invoiced practical expedient.
78
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:

In the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company recognized $112.5 million of the amount included in contract liabilities at
December 31, 2018 into revenue. Additionally, the Company assumed contract liabilities of $10.1 million from acquisitions in the
year 2019. The remainder of the change from December 31, 2018 is driven by the timing of advanced and milestone payments
received from customers. There were no significant changes in the contract balances other than those described above.

NOTE 14. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND CREDIT RISK
Derivative financial instruments
All derivatives are recorded as other assets or liabilities in the Balance Sheets at their respective fair values. For derivatives designated
as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the unrealized gain or loss related to the derivatives are recorded in Other comprehensive
income (loss) until the transaction affects earnings. The Company assesses both at inception of the hedge and on an ongoing basis,
whether the derivative in the hedging transaction has been, and will continue to 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 December 31, 2019 of $525.4 million, as hedges
and therefore does not apply hedge accounting.

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

Interest Rates: The Company has entered into three interest rate swaps to fix the interest rate applicable to certain of its variable-rate
debt. The agreements swap one-month LIBOR for fixed rates. The Company has re-designated these swaps as cash flow hedges of
variable-rate interest expense on the new borrowings from the new credit agreement in 2018. Refer to Note 6 - Debt for further
information regarding the new credit agreement. All changes in fair value of the swaps are recognized in accumulated other
comprehensive income.
At December 31, 2019, the fair value of these derivatives designated as cash flow hedges were recorded in the Balance Sheet as other
current assets of $0.1 million and as other comprehensive income, net of tax, of $0.1 million.
Net Investment hedges: The Company has entered into cross currency swap agreements that synthetically swap $116.4 million of fixed
rate debt to Euro denominated fixed rate debt. The agreements are designated as net investment hedges for accounting purposes.
Accordingly, the gains or losses on these derivative instruments are included in the foreign currency translation component of other
comprehensive income until the net investment is sold, diluted, or liquidated. Coupons received for the cross currency swaps are
excluded from the net investment hedge effectiveness assessment and are recorded in interest expense, net on the Condensed
Consolidated Statements of Income. For the year ended December 31, 2019, gains recorded in interest expense, net under the cross
currency swap agreements were $2.9 million.
At December 31, 2019, the fair value of these derivatives designated as net investment hedges were recorded in the Balance Sheet as
other assets of $6.4 million and as other comprehensive income, net of tax, of $4.7 million.
Refer to Note 15. 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 December 31, 2019, is limited to
the amount outstanding on the financial instrument. Allowances for losses are established based on collectability assessments.
82
NOTE 15. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The fair value framework requires the categorization of assets and liabilities into three levels based upon the assumptions (inputs) used
to price the assets or liabilities. Level 1 provides the most reliable measure of fair value, whereas Level 3 generally requires significant
management judgment. The three levels are defined as follows:
•
•
•
Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the Company can assess at the
measurement date.
Level 2: Observable inputs other than those included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or
indirectly. For example, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical assets or
liabilities in inactive markets.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs reflecting management’s own assumptions about the inputs used in pricing the asset or liability.
Financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are as follows:

Investments represent securities held in a trust for the non-qualified deferred compensation plan. Investments are classified as trading
securities and are valued based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets that the Company has the ability to access.
Investments are reported separately in Other assets on the Balance Sheets. Investments include an unrealized gain of $1.8 million as of
December 31, 2019 and unrealized loss of $2.4 million as of December 31, 2018.
The Company uses the income approach to measure the fair value of derivative instruments on a recurring basis. This approach
calculates the present value of the future cash flow by measuring the change between the derivative contract rate and the published
market indicative currency rate, multiplied by the contract notional values, and applying an appropriate discount rate as well as a
factor of credit risk.
Contingent consideration obligation represents the estimated fair value of the additional consideration payable in connection with the
Company's acquisitions of Proseal and Prime completed in the second quarter of 2019. The Company estimated the acquisition date
fair value of the contingent consideration obligation for Proseal using a Monte Carlo simulation, and a scenario based method for
Prime. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the contingent consideration obligations were the
acquired company's projected performance, a risk-adjusted discount rate and performance volatility driven by industry peers. At each
reporting date, the Company revalues the contingent consideration obligations to their fair values and records any changes in fair value
within selling, general and administrative expenses in the Income Statement.

NOTE 16. 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 results of operations or financial position.
However, it is possible that the ultimate resolution of such matters, if unfavorable, may be material to results of operations in a
particular future period as the time and amount of any resolution of such actions and its relationship to the future results of operations
are not currently known.
Liabilities are established for pending legal claims only when losses associated with the claims are judged to be probable, and the loss
can be reasonably estimated. In many lawsuits and arbitrations, it is not considered probable that a liability has been incurred or not
possible to estimate the ultimate or minimum amount of that liability until the case is close to resolution, in which case no liability
would be recognized until that time.
In 2013, the Company received a notice of examination from the Delaware Department of Finance commencing an examination of the
Company's books and records to determine compliance with Delaware unclaimed property law. The examination was not complete
when, in 2017, Delaware promulgated a law which permitted companies an election to convert an examination to a review under the
Secretary of State’s voluntary disclosure agreement program. In December 2017, the Company elected this alternative and is in the
process of meeting the requirements under the voluntary disclosure agreement program. The requirements include reviewing the
Company's books and records and filing any previously unfiled reports for all unclaimed property presumed unclaimed, under the law,
from 2003. The Company completed the exercise in the fourth quarter and concluded that the Company's obligation is immaterial. We
have submitted our conclusions to the Secretary of State in December; however as of the date of this filing, the Secretary of State of
Delaware has not responded to our filling.
84
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 approximately $154.4 million at December 31,
2019, represent guarantees of future performance. The Company also has provided approximately $7.7 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 two
years; the Company expects to replace them 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 between seventy-five and ninety-five percent of the contract
values. In addition, the Company generally retains recourse to the equipment sold. As of December 31, 2019, the gross value of such
arrangements was $3.8 million, of which the Company's net exposure under such guarantees was $0.2 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 exists. 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
sheets is based on historical experience by product and considers failure rates and the related costs in correcting a product failure.

Finance Leases:
During the second quarter of 2019, the Company acquired, through a business combination, real estate leases for which it is the lessee
for an indefinite lease term and that are classified as financing. The ROU asset balance for these leases is $3.3 million and is included
in property, plant, and equipment, net in the Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2019. These finance leases have no lease liability
outstanding as of December 31, 2019 as no amounts are due under the lease. The reduction in the carrying amount of the ROU asset
balance for the year ended December 31, 2019 was immaterial.
Prior Year Disclosures
Although the Company has adopted ASC 842 using the cumulative effect transition method, which enables the Company to record existing
leases at the date of adoption without restating comparative periods, it is required to include prior year disclosures that were in accordance
with legacy GAAP. These disclosures included in the December 31, 2018 Form 10-K are included below:
The Company leases office space, manufacturing facilities and various types of manufacturing and data processing equipment. Leases
of real estate generally provide that it pays for repairs, property taxes and insurance. Substantially all leases are classified as operating
leases for accounting purposes. Rent expense under operating leases amounted to $10.5 million, and $5.3 million in 2018 and 2017,
respectively.

NOTE 18. BUSINESS SEGMENTS
Operating segments for the Company are determined based on information used by the chief operating decision maker (CODM) in
deciding how to evaluate performance and allocate resources to each of the segments. JBT’s CODM is the Chief Executive Officer
(CEO). While there are many measures the CEO reviews in this capacity, the key segment measures reviewed include operating
profit, operating profit margin, EBITDA, adjusted when applicable, and EBITDA margins.
Reportable segments are:
•
•
JBT FoodTech—provides comprehensive solutions throughout the food production value chain extending from
primary processing through packaging systems for a large variety of food and beverage groups, including
poultry, beef, pork, seafood, ready-to-eat meals, fruits, vegetables, dairy, bakery, pet foods, soups, sauces, and
juices.
JBT AeroTech— supplies customized solutions and services used for applications in the air transportation
industry, including airport authorities, airlines, airfreight, ground handling companies, militaries and defense
contractors.
Total revenue by segment includes intersegment sales, which are made at prices that reflect, as nearly as practicable, the market
value of the transaction. Segment operating profit is defined as total segment revenue less segment operating expenses. The
following items have been excluded in computing segment operating profit: corporate expense, restructuring costs, interest income
and expense, and income taxes. See the table below for further details on corporate expense.

Restructuring expense primarily consists 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.
During the fourth quarter of 2016 the Company implemented and acquired a restructuring plan to consolidate certain facilities and
optimize general and administrative infrastructure subsequent to a JBT FoodTech acquisition. The Company incurred $3.0 million
expense for this plan in prior years with no additional expense in 2019, and completed this plan in the first quarter of 2019.
In the first quarter of 2018, the Company implemented a restructuring plan ("2018 restructuring plan") to address its global processes
to flatten the organization, improve efficiency and better leverage general and administrative resources. During the fourth quarter
ended December 31, 2019, Management has refined our total estimated costs in connection with this plan, with original estimate of
$60.0 million to be recognized by the end of 2019, to a range of $62.0 million to $64.0 million to be completed in 2020. These
changes reflect additional costs identified in order to achieve expected savings. Through December 31, 2019 the Company has
recognized cumulative restructuring charges of $60.5 million, net of cumulative releases of the related liability of $10.5 million.
The following table details the amounts reported in restructuring expense for the 2018 restructuring plan on the consolidated statement

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a)
(b)
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company carried out an evaluation of the
effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure
that information required to be disclosed in reports the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act is (1) recorded,
processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and (2) accumulated and
communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely
decisions regarding required disclosure.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the Company’s principal executive and principal financial
officers and effected by the Company’s Board, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance
regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in
accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and includes those policies and procedures that:
(i)
(ii)
(iii)
pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions
and dispositions of assets of the Company;
provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial
statements in accordance with GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made
only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and
provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or
disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.
Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become
inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may
deteriorate. Management’s report on internal control over financial reporting is set forth below and should be read with
these limitations in mind.
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Under the
supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer,
the Company conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting
based upon the framework in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on that evaluation, management concluded that the Company’s
internal control over financial reporting is effective as of December 31, 2019.
During 2019, the Company completed the acquisitions of LEKTRO, Proseal and Prime. The net tangible assets acquired
in these transactions represented approximately 2% of the consolidated assets of the Company as of December 31, 2019.
The total revenue generated by these acquired businesses since the dates of acquisition totaled approximately 6% of the
consolidated revenue of JBT Corporation for the year ended December 31, 2019. Management’s assessment of the
Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019 excluded the internal control over financial
reporting of these businesses during this period while the Company integrated the acquirees’ existing internal control
structure with JBT policies and procedures.
Attestation Report of the Registered Public Accounting Firm
KPMG LLP, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, has issued their report, included herein on
page 97, on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
95
(c)
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
In the ordinary course of business, the Company reviews its system of internal control over financial reporting and make
changes to its systems and processes to improve such controls and increase efficiency, while ensuring that the Company
maintains an effective internal control environment. Changes may include such activities as implementing new, more
efficient systems, automating manual processes and updating existing systems.
In 2019, we established new internal controls related to our accounting policies and procedures as part of our adoption of
the new lease accounting standard, including controls over the new lease accounting software, the new lease accounting
process, and key estimates underlying the determination of our ROU assets and lease liabilities.
We are in the process of implementing new enterprise resource planning systems ("ERP") that will enhance our business
and financial processes and standardize our information systems. We have completed the implementation at several
locations and will continue to roll out the ERP in phases over the next several years.
As with any new information system we implement, this application, along with the internal controls over financial
reporting included in this process, will require testing for effectiveness. In connection with this ERP implementation, we
are updating our internal controls over financial reporting, as necessary, to accommodate modifications to our business
processes and accounting procedures. We do not believe that the ERP implementation will have an adverse effect on our
internal control over financial reporting.
Other than as noted above, there were no changes in controls identified in the evaluation for the quarter ended
December 31, 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, internal control over
financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Stockholders and Board of Directors
John Bean Technologies Corporation:
Opinion on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
We have audited John Bean Technologies Corporation and subsidiaries’ (the Company) internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2019, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of
Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective
internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated
Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States)
(PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the related consolidated
statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year
period ended December 31, 2019, and related notes and financial statement schedule II (collectively, the consolidated financial
statements), and our report dated March 2, 2020 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.
The Company acquired LEKTRO, Proseal and Prime during 2019, and management excluded from its assessment of the effectiveness
of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019, LEKTRO’s, Proseal’s and Prime’s internal
control over financial reporting associated with 2% of total assets and 6% of total revenues included in the consolidated financial
statements of the Company as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting of
the Company also excluded an evaluation of the internal control over financial reporting of LEKTRO, Proseal and Prime.
Basis for Opinion
The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of
the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Annual Report on Internal
Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial
reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with
respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities
and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.
Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting,
assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control
based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of
financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the
maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the
company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in
accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding
prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect
on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections
of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in
conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
