NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Description of Business

John Bean Technologies Corporation and its majority-owned consolidated subsidiaries (“JBT” or “we”) provide global technology solutions to high-value segments of the food & beverage and air transportation industries. We design, manufacture, test and service technologically sophisticated systems and products for customers through our JBT FoodTech and JBT AeroTech segments. We have manufacturing operations worldwide and are strategically located to facilitate delivery of our products and services to our customers.

Basis of Presentation

In accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules for interim periods, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements (the “interim financial statements”) do not include all of the information and notes for complete financial statements as required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). As such, the accompanying interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the JBT Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, which provides a more complete understanding of the Company’s accounting policies, financial position, operating results, business, properties, and other matters. The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet was derived from audited financial statements.

In the opinion of management, the interim financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of our financial condition and operating results as of and for the periods presented. Revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities can vary during each quarter of the year. Therefore, the interim results and trends in these statements may not be representative of those for the full year or any future period.

We have reclassified the prior year amortization expense of intangible assets not considered contract-related from cost of sales to selling, general and administrative expense to conform with current year presentation.

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.

Recently issued accounting standards not yet adopted

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The new standard will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP. The core principle of the ASU requires companies to reevaluate when revenue is recorded on a transaction based upon newly defined criteria, either at a point in time or over time as goods or services are delivered. 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 becomes effective for us as of January 1, 2018, and allows for both retrospective and modified-retrospective methods of adoption. We are currently evaluating the effect, if any, that the updated standard will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, Inventory (Topic 330) – Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory. The core principle of the ASU is that entities that historically used the lower of cost or market in the subsequent measurement of inventory will instead be required to measure inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The guidance will not change U.S. GAAP for inventory measured using LIFO or the retail inventory method. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2016. The company anticipates the adoption in the effective period and we are currently evaluating the effect, if any, that the ASU will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases. The new standard will replace most existing lease guidance in U.S. GAAP. The core principle of the ASU is that lessees are required to report a right to use asset and a lease payment obligation on the balance sheet but recognize expenses on their income statements in a manner similar to today’s accounting, and for lessors the guidance remains substantially similar to current U.S. GAAP. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2018. However early adoption is

permitted. Entities are required to use a modified retrospective approach for leases that exist or are entered into after the beginning of the earliest comparative period in the financial statements. We have not yet evaluated and cannot determine the impact this standard will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Stock Compensation (Topic 718) - Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The new guidance was developed as part of the FASB's simplification initiative. The core principle of the ASU is that all income tax effects of awards are to be recognized in the income statement when the awards vest or are settled, it allows an employer to repurchase more of an employee's shares than it can today for tax withholding purposes without triggering liability accounting, and allows an employer to make a policy election to account for forfeitures as they occur. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2016. However early adoption is permitted. The company anticipates the adoption in the effective period and we are currently evaluating the effect, if any, that the ASU will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

NOTE 2. ACQUISITIONS

Consistent with our growth strategy, we completed two acquisitions during 2015 focused on strengthening our Protein and Liquid Foods portfolios.

A&B Process Systems

On October 1, 2015, John Bean Technologies Corporation acquired the shares of A&B Process Systems ("A&B"), located in Stratford, WI, for $103 million, including a $3.0 million earnout and a working capital adjustment of $0.1 million. Because the transaction was completed on October 1, 2015, the purchase accounting is preliminary as the valuation of income tax balances and residual goodwill related to this acquisition is not complete. We are also currently assessing the amount of goodwill that we expect to be deductible for tax purposes. These amounts are subject to adjustment as additional information is obtained within the measurement period (not to exceed 12 months from the acquisition date).

During the quarter ended March 31, 2016 we refined our estimates of the customer relationship by ($0.9 million), tradename by ($0.4 million), technological know-how for skidded systems by ($0.2 million), backlog by ($0.1 million), and noncompete agreements by ($0.1 million). The impact of these adjustments was reflected as an increase in goodwill of $1.8 million, and resulted in an immaterial impact to the consolidated statement of income. No other significant refinements of the valuation occurred during the quarter.

The following table summarizes the provisional fair values recorded for the assets acquired and liabilities assumed for A&B:



(In millions)
Assets:
Accounts receivable	$	15.7
Prepaid expenses	0.6
Costs in excess of billings on projects in progress	5.1
Inventories	1.0
Property, plant and equipment	18.1
Other assets	0.2
Intangible assets:
Customer relationships	14.6
Tradename	3.1
Technological know-how - skidded systems	3.9
Technological know-how - tanks and vessels	1.3
Backlog	1.2
Noncompete agreements	0.9
Total assets	$	65.7

Liabilities:
Accounts payable	$	6.1
Other liabilities	3.3
Billings in excess of costs on projects in process	6.6
Earnout liability	3.0
Total liabilities	19.0

Cash consideration paid and accrued	$	100.0
Contingent consideration	3.0
Total purchase price	103.0

Goodwill	$	53.3

The customer relationships and tradename will be amortized over their estimated useful lives of eight and fourteen years, respectively. Technological know-how for skidded systems and tanks & vessels will be amortized over their terms of six and nine years, respectively. The noncompete agreements will be amortized over the contractual life of five years, and backlog will be amortized over six months, reflecting its expected pattern of use.

The A&B purchase agreement includes an earnout provision providing for a contingent payment due to the sellers to the extent certain financial targets are exceeded. This earnout is payable within the fourth quarter of 2016 if A&B exceeds certain earnings targets for the period from May 1, 2015 through April 31, 2016. The contractual obligation associated with the contingent earnout provision recognized on the acquisition date is $3.0 million.

Stork Food & Dairy Systems B.V.

On July 31, 2015, John Bean Technologies Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiary John Bean Technologies Europe B.V. acquired the shares of Stork Food & Dairy Systems, B.V. (“SFDS”), located in Amsterdam, The Netherlands for 46.2 million euro ($50.7 million), which is net of cash acquired of 1.0 million euro ($1.1 million). Because the transaction was completed on July 31, 2015, the purchase accounting is preliminary as the final review of the intangible asset valuation report, valuation of income tax balances, pension balances and residual goodwill related to this acquisition is not complete. We are also currently assessing the amount of goodwill that we expect to be deductible for tax purposes. These amounts are subject to adjustment as additional information is obtained within the measurement period (not to exceed 12 months from the acquisition date). No significant refinements of the valuation occurred during the quarter.

The following table summarizes the provisional fair values recorded for the assets acquired and liabilities assumed for SFDS:



(In millions)
Assets:
Cash	$	1.1
Accounts receivable	10.0
Other receivables	2.5
Inventories	4.8
Costs in excess of billings on projects in progress	7.8
Property, plant and equipment	9.8
Intangible assets:
Tradename	0.2
Customer relationships	4.1
Patents	3.9
Deferred Tax Asset	1.1
Total assets	$	45.3

Liabilities:
Accounts payable	$	9.2
Billings in excess of costs on projects	7.6
Other liabilities	10.2
Deferred taxes	3.3
Total liabilities	$	30.3

Total purchase price	$	51.8

Goodwill	$	36.8

The tradename, patents and customer relationships will be amortized over their estimated useful lives of seventeen months, seven years, and fifteen years, respectively.

NOTE 3. GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill by business segment were as follows:



(In millions)	JBT FoodTech		JBT AeroTech		Total

Settlements	—			0.3			(0.1		)	—
Net periodic cost (income)	$	(0.3	)	$	0.4		$	(0.1	)	$	—

We expect to contribute $14.3 million to our pension and other postretirement benefit plans in 2016. We contributed $1.3 million to our U.S. qualified pension plan during the three months ended March 31, 2016.

NOTE 6. 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 JBT, AOCI is primarily composed of adjustments related to pension and other postretirement benefit plans, derivatives designated as hedges, and foreign currency translation adjustments. Changes in the AOCI balances for the three months ended March 31, 2016 by component are shown in the following table:



	Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits			Derivatives Designated as Hedges			Foreign Currency Translation			Total
(In millions)
Beginning balance, December 31, 2015	$	(103.8	)	$	(0.8	)	$	(42.6	)	$	(147.2	)
Other comprehensive income (loss) before reclassification	(0.1		)	(2.4		)	7.6			5.1
Amounts reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income	0.6			0.2			—			0.8
Ending balance, March 31, 2016	$	(103.3	)	$	(3.0	)	$	(35.0	)	$	(141.3	)

Reclassification adjustments from AOCI into earnings for pension and other postretirement benefit plans for the three months ended March 31, 2016 were $0.9 million of charges in selling, general and administrative expense, net of $0.3 million in provision for income taxes. Reclassification adjustments for derivatives designated as hedges for the same period were $0.3 million of charges in interest expense, net of $0.1 million in provision for income taxes.

NOTE 7. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

On February 18, 2016, we granted 153,144 restricted stock units with a total fair value of $6.8 million to certain employees under an existing stock-based compensation plan. The units will vest on April 1, 2019, and generally are expected to be amortized over the vesting period. The amortization period will be shorter if an employee attains age 62, and meets the plan's service requirement provision prior to the vesting date. The Company recognizes compensation expense based on estimated grant date fair values for all share-based awards issued to employees and directors. Total compensation expense was $2.2 million and $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015, respectively.

NOTE 8. EARNINGS PER SHARE

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



	Three Months Ended March 31,
(In millions, except per share data)	2016		2015
Basic earnings per share:
Income from continuing operations	$	5.2	$	8.0
Weighted average number of shares outstanding	29.5		29.6
Basic earnings per share from continuing operations	$	0.18	$	0.27
Diluted earnings per share:
Income from continuing operations	$	5.2	$	8.0
Weighted average number of shares outstanding	29.5		29.6
Effect of dilutive securities:
Restricted stock	0.3		0.2
Total shares and dilutive securities	29.8		29.8
Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations	$	0.17	$	0.27

NOTE 9. 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.


•	Level 2: Observable inputs other than those included in Level 1. For example, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in inactive markets.


•	Level 3: Unobservable inputs reflecting management’s own assumptions about the inputs used in pricing the asset or liability.

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



	As of March 31, 2016								As of December 31, 2015
(In millions)	Total		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Assets:
Investments	$	10.8	$	10.8	$	—	$	—	$	8.9	$	8.9	$	—	$	—
Derivatives	7.7		—		7.7		—		7.0		—		7.0		—
Total assets	$	18.5	$	10.8	$	7.7	$	—	$	15.9	$	8.9	$	7.0	$	—
Liabilities:
Derivatives	$	8.1	$	—	$	8.1	$	—	$	2.9	$	—	$	2.9	$	—
Contingent consideration	$	3.8					3.8		$	3.0					3.0
Total liabilities	$	11.9	$	—	$	8.1	$	3.8	$	5.9	$	—	$	2.9	$	3.0

Investments represent securities held in a trust for the non-qualified deferred compensation plan. Investments are classified as trading securities and are valued based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets that we have the ability to access. Investments are reported separately in Other Assets on the consolidated balance sheet. Investments include an unrealized gain of $0.1 million as of March 31, 2016 and unrealized loss of $0.7 million as of December 31, 2015.

We use 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. We also perform a qualitative assessment of counterparty credit risk.

The contingent consideration relates to the earnout provision recorded in conjunction with the acquisition of A&B during 2015 for $3.0 million, and for Novus in the first quarter of 2016 of $0.8 million respectively.

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and payables, as well as financial instruments included in other current assets and other current liabilities, approximate fair values because of their short-term maturities.

The carrying values and the estimated fair values of our debt financial instruments are summarized on the table below:



	As of March 31, 2016		As of December 31, 2015
(In millions)	Carrying Value	Estimated Fair Value	Carrying Value	Estimated Fair Value
Five-year revolving credit facility, expires February 10, 2020	296.4	296.4	279.4	279.4
Brazilian loan due April 15, 2016	0.1	0.1	0.3	0.3
Brazilian loan due October 16, 2017	2.6	2.4	2.7	2.4
Foreign credit facilities	0.3	0.3	—	—
Other	0.1	0.1	0.3	0.3

There is no active or observable market for our fixed rate borrowings, which include our Brazilian loans. Therefore, the estimated fair value of the Brazilian loans are based on discounted cash flows using current interest rates available for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities. The estimates of the all-in interest rate for discounting the loans are based on a broker quote for loans with similar terms. We do not have a rate adjustment for risk profile changes, covenant issues or credit rating changes, therefore the broker quote is deemed to be the closest approximation of current market rates. The carrying values of the remaining borrowings approximate their fair values due to their variable interest rates.

NOTE 10. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT

Derivative Financial Instruments

All derivatives are recorded as other assets or liabilities in the condensed consolidated 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. We assess 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. The impact of any ineffectiveness is recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of income. Changes in the fair value of derivatives that do not meet the criteria for designation as a hedge are recognized in earnings.

Foreign Exchange: We manufacture and sell products in a number of countries throughout the world and, as a result, we are exposed to movements in foreign currency exchange rates. Our major foreign currency exposures involve the markets in Western Europe, South America and Asia. Some of our sales and purchase contracts contain embedded derivatives due to the nature of doing business in certain jurisdictions, which we take into consideration as part of our risk management policy. The purpose of our 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. We primarily utilize forward foreign exchange contracts with maturities of less than 2 years in managing this foreign exchange rate risk. We have not designated these forward foreign exchange contracts, which have a notional value at March 31, 2016 of $352.3 million, as hedges and therefore do not apply hedge accounting.

The following table presents the fair value of foreign currency derivatives included within the condensed consolidated balance sheets:



	As of March 31, 2016				As of December 31, 2015
(In millions)	Derivative Assets		Derivative Liabilities		Derivative Assets		Derivative Liabilities
Other current assets / liabilities	$	6.6	$	2.8	$	5.8	$	1.3
Other assets / liabilities	1.1		0.2		1.2		0.1
Total	$	7.7	$	3.0	$	7.0	$	1.4

A master netting arrangement allows counterparties to net settle amounts owed to each other as a result of separate offsetting derivative transactions. We enter into master netting arrangements with our counterparties when possible to mitigate credit risk in derivative transactions by permitting us to net settle for transactions with the same counterparty. However, we do not net settle with such counterparties. As a result, we present derivatives at their gross fair values in the consolidated balance sheets.

As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, information related to these offsetting arrangements was as follows:



(in millions)	As of March 31, 2016
Offsetting of Assets	Gross Amounts of Recognized Assets		Gross Amounts Offset in the Consolidated Balance Sheets		Net Presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheets		Amount Subject to Master Netting Agreement			Net Amount
Derivatives	$	7.7	$	—	$	7.7	$	(3.6	)	$	4.1



	As of March 31, 2016

The following table presents the location and amount of the gain (loss) on foreign currency derivatives and on the remeasurement of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, as well as the net impact recognized in the consolidated statements of income:



Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments	Location of Gain (Loss) Recognized in Income on Derivatives	Amount of Gain (Loss) Recognized in Income on Derivatives

Remeasurement of assets and liabilities in foreign currencies		(0.3		)	(0.7		)
Net loss on foreign currency transactions		$	(1.1	)	$	(1.4	)

Interest Rates: We have entered into interest rate swaps to fix the interest rate applicable to certain of our variable-rate debt, including a new forward starting interest rate swap entered into on January 15, 2016 covering the period beginning January 19, 2017 to January 19, 2021. The 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.

At March 31, 2016, the fair value recorded in other liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet is $5.1 million. The effective portion of these derivatives designated as cash flow hedges of $3.0 million has been reported in other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax, on the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) as of March 31, 2016.

Ineffectiveness from cash flow hedges, all of which are interest rate swaps, was immaterial as of March 31, 2016.

Refer to Note 9. 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 us to credit risk primarily consist of trade receivables and derivative contracts. We manage 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. Our maximum exposure to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the counterparty is limited to the amount drawn and outstanding on the financial instrument. Allowances for losses are established based on collectability assessments.

NOTE 11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

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 our results of operations or financial position. However, it is possible that the ultimate resolution of such matters, if unfavorable, may be material to our 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.

We are currently the subject of an audit being conducted by the State of Delaware to determine whether we have complied with Delaware unclaimed property (escheat) laws. This audit is being conducted by an outside firm on behalf of the State of Delaware and covers the years from 1986 through the present. In addition to seeking the turnover of unclaimed property subject to escheat laws, the State of Delaware may seek interest, penalties, and other relief. We are not able to reasonably estimate a possible loss from this audit at this time.

Guarantees and Product Warranties

In the ordinary course of business with customers, vendors and others, we issue standby letters of credit, performance bonds, surety bonds and other guarantees. These financial instruments, which totaled $194.4 million at March 31, 2016, represent guarantees of our future performance. We also have provided $6.5 million of bank guarantees and letters of credit to secure a portion of our existing financial obligations. The majority of these financial instruments expire within two years; we expect to replace them through the issuance of new or the extension of existing letters of credit and surety bonds.

In some instances, we guarantee our customers’ financing arrangements. We are responsible for payment of any unpaid amounts but will receive indemnification from third parties for between sixty and ninety-five percent of the contract values. In addition, we generally retain recourse to the equipment sold. As of March 31, 2016, the gross value of such arrangements was $8.8 million, of which our net exposure under such guarantees is $1.4 million.

We provide warranties of various lengths and terms to certain of our customers based on standard terms and conditions and negotiated agreements. We provide for the estimated cost of warranties at the time revenue is recognized for products where reliable, historical experience of warranty claims and costs exists. We also provide 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. Warranty cost and accrual information is as follows:



	Three Months Ended March 31,
(In millions)	2016			2015
Balance at beginning of period	$	12.5		$	10.2

(2)Refer to Note 13.

NOTE 13. RESTRUCTURING

Restructuring costs primarily consist of employee separation benefits under our 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.

In the first quarter of 2014, we implemented a plan to optimize the overall JBT cost structure on a global basis. The initiatives under this plan include streamlining operations, consolidating certain facilities and enhancing our general and administrative infrastructure. We have released $0.3 million of the charge, which we no longer expect to pay, during the first quarter of 2016 in connection with this plan. Remaining payments required under this plan are expected to be paid during 2016.

In the first quarter of 2016, we implemented our optimization program to realign FoodTech's Protein business in North America and Liquid Foods business in Europe, accelerate JBT's strategic sourcing initiatives, and consolidate smaller facilities. The total estimated cost in connection with this plan is in the range of $11 million to $13 million with $7.5 million recorded in the first quarter of 2016. We anticipate incurring an additional $3 million to $4 million by the end of 2016. All payments required under this plan are expected to be made during 2016 and 2017.

Additional information regarding the restructuring activities is presented in the tables below:

NOTE 14. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

As a result of an acquisition, we continued a relationship with a supplier of parts for use in our manufacturing of equipment. The general manager who runs this acquired business was hired by JBT as a part of this acquisition, and he has a noncontrolling ownership interest in this supplier. We have made purchases from this supplier of $0.8 million and $1.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. We have an immaterial amount of outstanding accounts payable to this supplier as of March 31, 2016, and had $0.3 million as of March 31, 2015.

Executive Overview

We are a leading global technology solutions provider to high-value segments of the food & beverage and air transportation industries. We design, manufacture, test and service technologically sophisticated systems and products for customers throughout our JBT FoodTech and JBT AeroTech segments.

In 2015, we continued to implement our Next Level strategy that was developed in 2014 to capitalize on the leadership position of our businesses and accelerate growth and profitability. The Next Level strategy is based on a three-pronged plan to “fix”, “strengthen”, and “grow” JBT.

•

Fix. We have implemented a “One JBT” cultural transformation across JBT, built on our long-standing values of integrity, accountability, and teamwork. At the organization level, we have implemented a shared services model, consolidating back office operations in the U.S. to standardize practices and leverage the scale of our two businesses. We have also consolidated smaller operations enabling JBT FoodTech and JBT AeroTech to operate shared facilities and are in the process of expanding the shared services model in Europe.

We are driving organization simplification to lay a growth foundation. We have incurred restructuring charges related to our optimization program in 2016 to realign FoodTech's Protein business in North America and Liquid Foods business in Europe, accelerate JBT's strategic sourcing initiatives, and consolidate smaller facilities.

•

Strengthen. In 2015 we continued to implement leadership and management changes in our businesses to better align with our customers’ market needs. To further strengthen the business, we continue to utilize the JBT Excellence Model (or JEM). JEM includes value-based pricing, which has been rolled out across all major businesses. JEM also includes implementation of Lean initiatives or what we call Relentless Continuous Improvement (RCI). This is an integrated focus on safety, quality, delivery, and cost that establishes a sustainable competitive advantage. We also continue to enforce RCI via extensive leadership training and in 2015 we achieved a significant milestone of all our JBT production facilities having either started or being well along implementation of RCI.

•

Grow. There are specific components to our growth strategy with a focus on food. We continue to invest in the profitable aftermarket business, building a dedicated sales and service network that will capitalize on our global installed base of equipment. We also are capitalizing on growth opportunities in emerging markets through locally-tailored products. We enjoy a robust, direct presence in Asia, which is important for driving long-term

growth. In 2014, we opened a joint JBT FoodTech and JBT AeroTech manufacturing center in Kunshan, China. We opened a technology center, which allows customers to conduct test production runs, adjacent to the manufacturing center in January 2016.

Beyond organic growth initiatives, we are pursuing strategic acquisitions. We completed three acquisitions in 2014, two acquisitions in 2015, and one acquisition in 2016. These support our strategy of acquiring strong companies that complement our Protein and Liquid Foods portfolios. Looking ahead, we continue to establish a pipeline of mergers and acquisition (M&A) opportunities. Our successful acquisition activity is the result of building our corporate M&A capabilities and engaging the field operations in the process of identifying, executing, and integrating acquisitions.

As we evaluate our operating results, we consider our key performance indicators of segment revenue, segment operating profit, the level of inbound orders, as well as certain non-GAAP financial measures such as adjusted EBITDA.

We continue to enhance a comprehensive approach to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), building on our culture and long tradition of concern for our employees’ health, safety, and well-being; partnering with our customers to improve their operations; and giving back to the communities where we live and work. Building upon that strong foundation, we cultivate CSR teams at each business unit which share energy efficiency best practices, measure resource utilization, and establish improvement targets across multiple resource streams including energy, water, and waste. Our equipment and technology continues to deliver quality performance while striving to minimize waste and maximize efficiency in order to create shared value for both our food processing and air transportation customers. A key CSR objective is to further align our business with our customers, in order to support their ambitious quality, financial, and CSR goals.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The results for the three months ended March 31, 2016 include items that affect the comparability of our results. These include significant expenses that are not indicative of our ongoing operations as detailed in the table below:



	Three Months Ended March 31,
(In millions)	2016			2015
Income from continuing operations as reported	$	5.2		$	8.0

Non-GAAP adjustments
Restructuring expense	7.2			—

Adjusted income from continuing operations	10.1			8.0
Total shares and dilutive securities	29.8			29.8
Adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations	$	0.34		$	0.27

The above table contains non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted income from continuing operations and adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations. Adjusted income from continuing operations and adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations are intended to provide an indication of our underlying ongoing operating results and to enhance investors’ overall understanding of our financial performance by eliminating the effects of certain items that are not comparable from one period to the next. In addition, this information is used as a basis for evaluating our performance and

for the planning and forecasting of future periods. This information is not intended to nor should it be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

The tables below show a reconciliation from Operating income to EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA by segment and on a consolidated basis.

For the three months ended March 31, 2016:



(In millions)	Operating income			Depreciation and Amortization		EBITDA			Adjustments		Adjusted EBITDA
JBT FoodTech	$	18.8		$	7.6	$	26.4		$	—	$	26.4
JBT AeroTech	8.5			0.6		9.1			—		9.1
Corporate expense	(10.4		)	0.4		(10.0		)	—		(10.0		)
Restructuring expense	(7.2		)	—		(7.2		)	7.2		—
Total	$	9.7		$	8.6	$	18.3		$	7.2	$	25.5

For the three months ended March 31, 2015:



(In millions)	Operating income			Depreciation and Amortization		EBITDA			Adjustments		Adjusted EBITDA
JBT FoodTech	$	13.1		$	5.9	$	19.0		$	—	$	19.0
JBT AeroTech	8.4			0.5		8.9			—		8.9
Corporate expense	(7.8		)	0.4		(7.4		)	—		(7.4		)
Restructuring expense	—			—		—			—		—
Total	$	13.7		$	6.8	$	20.5		$	—	$	20.5

The tables above provide our operating income (loss) as adjusted by depreciation and amortization expense booked during the period to arrive at a segmental and consolidated EBITDA value. Further, we add back to EBITDA significant expenses that are not indicative of our ongoing operations to calculate an adjusted EBITDA for the two periods reported. Given our Next Level focus on growth through strategic acquisitions, management considers adjusted EBITDA to be an important non-GAAP measure. This measure allows us to monitor business performance while excluding the impact of amortization due to the step up in value of intangible assets. We use 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.

In addition, we utilize the net debt to adjusted EBITDA leverage ratio (a non-GAAP measure) to assess our overall financial leverage and believe the calculation is useful to investors for the same reason. The following table provides a reconciliation of net debt to adjusted EBITDA leverage ratio to the most directly comparable GAAP measures:



	As of March 31,
(in millions)	2016		2015
Short-term debt and current portion of long-term debt	$	2.0	$	4.0
Long-term debt	297.4		150.6
Total debt	299.4		154.6
Less cash	36.0		19.8
Net debt	263.4		134.8
TTM adjusted EBITDA	123.5		106.8
Net debt to adjusted EBITDA leverage ratio	2.1		1.3

We evaluate our results of operations on both an as reported and a constant currency basis. The constant currency presentation is a non-GAAP financial measure, which excludes the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. We believe providing constant currency information provides valuable supplemental information regarding our results of operations,

consistent with how we evaluate our performance. 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. This calculation may differ from similarly-titled measures used by other companies and, accordingly, the constant currency presentation is not meant to be a substitution for recorded amounts presented in conformity with GAAP nor should such amounts be considered in isolation.

This information is not intended to nor should it be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Total revenue increased $42.1 million, or $47.0 million in constant currency, in the first quarter of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015. The increase was mainly driven by revenue from acquired companies which added $39.0 million, and organic growth of $8.0 million.

Operating income decreased by $4.0 million, or $3.3 million in constant currency, compared to the same period in 2015 as a result of the following items:

•

Gross profit increased by $12.3 million or $13.8 million in constant currency. This increase is primarily the result of higher sales volume due to acquisitions. Gross profit margins remained consistent as increased profitability as a result of higher aftermarket revenue, strategic pricing, and savings from other Next Level initiatives was partially offset by lower equipment margins in newly acquired businesses.


•	Selling, general and administrative expense increased $6.5 million, or $7.8 million in constant currency. The increase was primarily a result of the addition of newly acquired businesses, as well as investments to support Next Level initiatives.


•	Research and development expense increased $1.8 million primarily due to acquisitions, as well as AeroTech investments to support Next Level initiatives.


•	Restructuring expense increased $7.2 million. During the first quarter of 2016, we commenced our optimization program to realign certain FoodTech businesses.


•	Other (income) expense, net, increased by $0.8 million, primarily due to higher acquisition costs and mark to market losses on financial instruments.

Net interest expense increased by $0.2 million primarily due to higher average debt levels resulting from acquisitions.

Income tax expense in the first quarter of 2016 reflected an expected effective annual income tax rate of approximately 32.0%, on par with the same period in 2015.

JBT FoodTech

JBT FoodTech’s revenue increased by $38.3 million, or $43.2 million in constant currency, in the first quarter of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015. Acquisitions contributed $39.0 million in revenue, and the remaining FoodTech businesses contributed $4.2 million in growth in revenue. The key driver of organic revenue performance was higher protein sales in Asia & South America and higher Automated Systems sales.

JBT FoodTech’s operating profit increased by $5.7 million, or $6.4 million in constant currency, in the first quarter of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015. This increase was driven by higher volume, primarily from acquisitions, and increased profitability as a result of higher aftermarket revenue. Strategic pricing and savings from other Next Level initiatives helped

drive operating margin improvement, partially offset by lower equipment margins and increased selling, general and administrative costs of $6.2 million driven by acquisitions. Operating profit margin increased from 9.4% to 10.6%.

JBT AeroTech

JBT AeroTech's revenue in the three months ended March 31, 2016 increased $3.9 million, or $4.5 million in constant currency, in the first quarter of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015. Revenues from our airport services business unit improved by $4.2 million as a result of higher revenues from new and existing maintenance contracts. Revenue from our mobile equipment business increased $3.9 million due to higher deliveries of air conditioning units to military customers as well as higher sales of ground support equipment to international customers. Revenue from our fixed equipment business declined $3.6 million due primarily to a lower volume related to our passenger boarding bridge business.

JBT AeroTech's operating profit in the three months ended March 31, 2016 increased $0.1 million, or $0.2 million in constant currency, in the first quarter of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015. Higher sales volume accounted for $1.0 million of improved profit and lower gross profit margins resulted in a decline of $0.8 million of profit. The lower profit margins were a result of the absence of higher than average margins on parts and services to military customers in the prior year partly offset by higher margins on other product lines, pricing and productivity improvements.

Corporate Expense

Corporate expense increased by $2.6 million in the first quarter of 2016 driven by higher incentive compensation, costs associated with the implementation of our new ERP system, and audit fees.

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 revolving credit facility. Our liquidity as of March 31, 2016, or cash plus borrowing ability under our revolving credit facility, was 194.0 million. The cash flows generated by our operations and the revolving credit facility have historically been sufficient to satisfy our working capital needs, research and development activities, capital expenditures, pension contributions, authorized share repurchases, dividends, acquisitions and other financing requirements.

As of March 31, 2016, we had $36.0 million of cash and cash equivalents, $32.9 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 geographies. 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. Any additional taxes could be offset, in part or in whole, by foreign tax credits. The amount of such taxes and application of tax credits would be dependent on the income tax laws and other circumstances at the time any of these amounts were repatriated.

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 both lowering the rate we pay on certain of our borrowings and 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. The amount outstanding subject to this IRS guidance at March 31, 2016 was approximately $40.9 million. During 2016, each such loan was outstanding for less than 30 days, and all such loans were outstanding for less than 60 days in the aggregate. The U.S. parent used the proceeds of these intercompany loans to reduce outstanding borrowings under our 5-year 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.

Cash Flows

Cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 were as follows:



(In millions)	2016			2015
Cash provided by continuing operating activities	$	0.2		$	30.5
Cash required by investing activities	(14.2		)	(7.5		)
Cash provided (required) by financing activities	11.1			(30.9		)
Net cash required by discontinued operations	—			—
Effect of foreign exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents	1.7			(5.6		)
Decrease in cash and cash equivalents	$	(1.2	)	$	(13.5	)

Cash provided by continuing operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2016 was $0.2 million, representing a $30.3 million decrease from 2015. This decrease was due to our investments in inventory to support a 38% higher backlog than the same period in 2015. We contributed $1.3 million to our U.S. qualified pension plan during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and we expect to contribute approximately $13 million to our pension and other post-retirement benefit plans during the remainder of 2016.

Cash required by investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2016 was $14.2 million, an increase of $6.7 million from 2015 due primarily to increased acquisition spending related to the acquisition completed in the first quarter of 2016, as well as increased capital expenditures in 2016.

Cash provided by financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2016 was $11.1 million, compared to cash required by financing activities in 2015 of $30.9 million. The change in financing cash flows was driven by an increase in borrowings against our 5-year revolving credit facility to fund working capital and increased acquisition spending.

Financing Arrangements

On February 10, 2015, we entered into a new five-year $450 million revolving credit facility, with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. as

administrative agent, and repaid our prior revolving credit facility. On March 22, 2016, we amended the revolving credit

facility to increase the credit limit from $450 million to $600 million. This credit facility permits borrowings in the U.S. and in

The Netherlands. Borrowings bear interest, at our option, at one month U.S. 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, and LIBOR

plus 1%, plus, in each case, a margin dependent on our leverage ratio. We must also pay an annual commitment fee of 15.0 to

30.0 basis points dependent on our leverage ratio. The credit agreement evidencing the facility contains customary

representations, warranties, and covenants, including a minimum interest coverage ratio and maximum leverage ratio, as well

as certain events of default. As of March 31, 2016 we had $296.4 million drawn on and $303.6 million of availability under the

revolving credit facility.

We have entered into interest rate swaps to fix the interest rate applicable to certain of our variable-rate debt, including a new forward starting interest rate swap entered into on January 15, 2016 covering the period beginning January 19, 2017 to January 19, 2021. The 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.

During 2014, the Brazilian subsidiary entered into a Brazilian real denominated loan with an outstanding balance of Br1 9.1 million (approximately $2.6 million) as of March 31, 2016, which bears an annual interest rate of 8.0%. The first payment on this loan was made on November 15, 2015, with equal monthly payments required for 24 months thereafter.

As part of our strategy to grow in Asia, we are expanding our operations in China and India. Due to greater restrictions on cross border financing flows in these regions, we have established credit facilities to fund some of the local working capital requirements in these markets. Four of our wholly-owned subsidiaries have short term credit facilities that allow us to borrow up to approximately $12 million in China, which mature on June 30, 2016. As of March 31, 2016, we had $0.3 million borrowed under these credit facilities. Our wholly-owned subsidiary in India has a short term credit facility that allows us to borrow up to approximately $2.3 million. As of March 31, 2016, we had no outstanding borrowings under this credit facility.

Our credit agreements include restrictive covenants that, if not met, could lead to a renegotiation of our credit lines, a requirement to repay our borrowings and/or a significant increase in our cost of financing. At March 31, 2016, we were in compliance with all financial covenants in our credit agreement as shown in the following table:



Debt Instrument / Covenant	Measurement	Result as of March 31, 2016
Revolving credit facility
Interest coverage ratio⁽¹⁾	Not less than 3.5	16.6
Leverage ratio⁽²⁾	Not greater than 3.5	2.3

(1)

Interest coverage ratio is a comparison of the trailing twelve months Consolidated EBITDA, defined as net income plus interest expense plus income tax expense plus depreciation and amortization plus non-cash expenses, extraordinary, unusual and non-recurring items excluding certain payments of extraordinary, unusual and non-recurring items as agreed with the lenders, to trailing twelve months interest expense.


(2)	Leverage ratio is a comparison of the total indebtedness, defined as total debt plus guarantees of indebtedness of others plus obligations under financial letters of credit issued against the credit facility exceeding $15 million, to the trailing twelve months Consolidated EBITDA, as defined above.

We expect to remain in compliance with all restrictive 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 restrictive covenants, or that we will continue to be able to access the capital and credit markets on terms acceptable to us or at all.

Outlook

We project revenue growth of approximately 15 percent reflecting organic growth of 4 - 5 percent and growth from acquisitions of about 10 percent. We expect 2016 segment operating margins to expand 25 to 50 basis points relative to 2015. Based on these expectations, the diluted earnings per share from continuing operations guidance for 2016 is $2.15 - $2.30, and $1.90 - $2.05 on a GAAP basis.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Under the direction of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of March 31, 2016.

Changes may include such activities as implementing new, more efficient systems, automating manual processes and updating existing systems. There were no changes in controls identified in the evaluation for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors and Shareholders

John Bean Technologies Corporation:

We have reviewed the condensed consolidated balance sheet of John Bean Technologies Corporation and subsidiaries as of March 31, 2016, and the related condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income (loss) for the three-month period ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, and cash flows for the three-month period ended March 31, 2016 and 2015. These condensed consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the condensed consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of John Bean Technologies Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2015, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income (loss), changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 29, 2016, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2015, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.
