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 for the food processing 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, 2014, 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 statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of 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 intangible asset balances to conform to the 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 April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03,Interest – Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30) – Simplifying Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. The core principle of the ASU is that an entity should present debt issuance costs as a direct deduction from the face amount of that debt in the balance sheet similar to the manner in which a debt discount or premium is presented, and not reflected as a deferred charge or deferred credit. The ASU requires additional disclosure about the nature of and reason for the change in accounting principle, the transition method, a description of the prior-period information that has been retrospectively adjusted and the effect of the change on the financial statement line item (that is, the debt issuance cost asset and the debt liability). The new standard becomes effective for us as of January 1, 2016, and requires retrospective implementation in which the balance sheet of each individual period presented is to be adjusted to reflect the period-specific effects of applying the new guidance, early adoption is permitted. Subsequent to the issuance of ASU 2015-03 the SEC staff made an announcement regarding the presentation of debt issuance costs associated with line-of-credit arrangements, which was codified by the FASB in ASU 2015-15. This guidance, which clarifies the exclusion of line-of-credit arrangements from the scope of ASU 2015-03, is effective upon adoption of ASU 2015-03. We are currently evaluating the effect, if any, that the updated standard will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-05,Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40) -Customer’s Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement. The ASU applies to cloud computing arrangements including software as a service, platform as a service, infrastructure as a service, and other similar hosting arrangements, and was issued to help entities evaluate the accounting for fees paid by a customer in a cloud computing arrangement. The ASU provides guidance about whether the arrangement includes a software license. The core principle of the ASU is that if a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license, then the customer should account for the software license element of the arrangement consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses. If a cloud computing arrangement does not include a software license, the customer should account for the arrangement as a service contract. The guidance will not change U.S. GAAP for a customer’s accounting for service contracts. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015. 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 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 September 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-16,Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments.The ASU eliminates the requirement for an acquirer to retrospectively adjust the financial statements for measurement-period adjustments that occur in periods after a business combination is consummated. The core principle of the ASU is that entities will be required to recognize the cumulative impact of a measurement period adjustment (including the impact on prior periods) in the reporting period in which the adjustment is identified. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015. However early adoption is permitted. The company anticipates the adoption for the year ended December 31, 2015.
Note 2. Acquisitions
Consistent with our growth strategy, we completed several acquisitions during 2015 and 2014 focused on strengthening our protein processing and liquid foods portfolios.
Fiscal year 2015
Stork Food and 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). Consideration for the transaction was provided by cash on hand supplemented with borrowings under our revolving credit facility. SFDS develops, produces and supplies integrated aseptic processing /sterilization and filling systems to the beverage and food processing industries. This acquisition enables us to add complementary aseptic and thermal processing and filling technologies to our liquid foods product portfolio, and will significantly strengthen our ability to provide complete solutions to our customers in the global liquid foods industry.
This acquisition has been accounted for as a business combination. Tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at their respective estimated fair values. The excess of the consideration transferred over the estimated fair value of the net assets received has been recorded as goodwill. The factors that contributed to the recognition of goodwill primarily relate to acquisition-driven anticipated cost savings and revenue enhancement synergies coupled with the assembled workforce acquired that is not recognized separate and apart from goodwill as it is neither separable nor contractual in nature. We are currently assessing the amount of goodwill that we expect to be deductible for tax purposes.
Acquisition-related transaction costs totaling $1.1 million were recognized as other expense at the time they were incurred.
Because the transaction was completed on July 31, 2015, the purchase accounting is preliminary as the valuation of substantially all assets acquired, including accounts receivable, inventories, projects in progress, property, plant and equipment, and all identifiable intangibles, and liabilities assumed, including payables and contingent liabilities, as well as income tax balances and residual goodwill related to this acquisition is not complete; and significant information is still being assembled and reviewed. 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 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 | 12.1 | |||
Customer relationships | 2.1 | |||
Patents | 3.9 | |||
Deferred Tax Asset | 1.1 | |||
Total assets | $ | 55.2 | ||
Liabilities: | ||||
Accounts payable | 9.2 | |||
Billings in excess of costs on projects | 7.6 | |||
Other liabilities | 9.7 | |||
Deferred taxes | 5.9 | |||
Warranty obligations | 0.6 | |||
Total liabilities | 33.0 | |||
Total purchase price | $ | 51.8 | ||
Goodwill | $ | 29.6 |
The tradename, patents and customer relationships will be amortized over their estimated useful lives of twenty-five, seven, and fifteen years, respectively.
Fiscal year 2014
Wolf-Tec Acquisition
On December 1, 2014, John Bean Technologies Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries JBT Holdings, LLC and John Bean Technologies Limited, acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed certain liabilities of Wolf-Tec, Inc. (“Wolf-Tec”) for $53.7 million in cash, which is net of cash acquired of $0.2 million. Consideration for the transaction was provided by cash on hand supplemented with borrowings under our revolving credit facility. The acquisition enables us to better meet customer needs through an expanded portfolio of protein processing equipment and solutions. Our product lines and those of Wolf-Tec are highly complementary, with equipment of both companies frequently utilized on the same production line. The acquisition also provides us with further entry into the beef, pork, and seafood processing markets. The acquisition is strategic in that Wolf-Tec has a strong brand presence, excellent technology and is renowned for its sales and customer support. The acquisition of Wolf-Tec combined with our global reach has and will continue to create strong future growth opportunities.
This acquisition has been accounted for as a business combination. Tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at their respective estimated fair values. The excess of the consideration transferred over the estimated fair value of the net assets received has been recorded as goodwill. The factors that contributed to the recognition of goodwill primarily relate to acquisition-driven anticipated cost savings, revenue enhancement synergies in our protein processing business and the acquisition of an assembled workforce. Approximately $13.4 million of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. Acquisition related costs totaling $0.7 million were recognized as other expense in the condensed consolidated statements of income at the time they were incurred.
We have substantially completed the purchase price allocation for this acquisition, which is based on the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. However, if additional information is obtained about these assets and liabilities within the measurement period (not to exceed 12 months from the date of the acquisition), including through asset appraisals and learning more about the newly acquired business, we will refine our estimates of fair value.
During the quarter ended September 30, 2015 we refined our estimates of the customer relationship by $0.1 million and other liabilities by ($0.1 million). The impact of these adjustments was reflected as a decrease in goodwill of $0.2 million. No other significant refinements of the valuation occurred during the quarter. Adjustments during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 included net refinements to customer relationships of $2.7 million, intellectual property of ($3.4 million), tradename of $1.5 million, non-compete of $0.8 million, deferred tax assets of $0.9 million, other liabilities of ($1.1 million), and other immaterial refinements of accounts receivable, inventory, and property, plant and equipment. The net impact of these adjustments was reflected as a net decrease in goodwill of $4.2 million.
The following table summarizes the provisional fair values recorded for the assets acquired and liabilities assumed for Wolf-Tec:
(In millions) | ||||
Assets: | ||||
Cash | $ | 0.2 | ||
Accounts receivable | 2.3 | |||
Other current assets | 0.3 | |||
Inventories | 6.5 | |||
Property, plant and equipment | 7.7 | |||
Intangible assets: | ||||
Customer relationships | 17.3 | |||
Intellectual property | 2.8 | |||
Tradename | 1.5 | |||
Noncompete agreement | 0.8 | |||
Backlog & other assets | 0.3 | |||
Deferred Tax Asset | 0.9 | |||
Total assets | $ | 40.6 | ||
Liabilities: | ||||
Accounts payable | 1.7 | |||
Deferred revenue | 0.3 | |||
Other liabilities | 1.3 | |||
Total liabilities | $ | 3.3 | ||
Total purchase price | $ | 53.9 | ||
Goodwill | $ | 16.6 |
The customer relationships, intellectual property, and tradename will be amortized over their estimated useful lives of fifteen, ten, and ten years, respectively. The non-compete agreement will be amortized over its term of five years and the backlog asset was amortized over four months, reflecting its pattern of use.
ICS Solutions Acquisition
On July 1, 2014, we completed the acquisition of 100% of the outstanding shares of ICS Solutions, a subsidiary of Stork Food & Dairy Systems B.V., for cash consideration of $35.7 million, which is net of cash acquired of $10.0 million. We funded this acquisition with cash on hand as well as borrowings against our revolving line of credit. ICS Solutions, located in Amsterdam, The Netherlands and Gainesville, Georgia, is a worldwide leader in the engineering, installation and servicing of high-capacity food preservation equipment. The acquisition was strategically important as ICS Solutions’ hydromatic continuous sterilizer is complementary to our product portfolio of fillers, seamers and in-container sterilization technologies. With this acquisition, we have leveraged our worldwide presence and are providing a complete range of high-capacity, in-container sterilization solutions to our customers in the growing global beverage, dairy and canning industries. In addition, this acquisition is allowing us to improve operational effectiveness as well as enhance sales and service support for our customers through the combination of our businesses.
This acquisition has been accounted for as a business combination. Tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at their respective estimated fair values. The excess of the consideration transferred over the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired has been recorded as goodwill. The factors that contributed to the recognition of goodwill primarily relate to expected synergistic benefits from the expansion of our in-container product portfolio. Approximately $1.1 million of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. Acquisition-related costs were recognized in other expense as incurred and totaled $0.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2014.
The following table summarizes the fair values recorded for the assets acquired and liabilities assumed for ICS:
(In millions) | ||||
Assets: | ||||
Cash | $ | 10.0 | ||
Accounts receivable | 2.3 | |||
Inventories | 0.4 | |||
Property, plant and equipment and other assets | 0.1 | |||
Intangible assets: | ||||
Customer relationships | 15.7 | |||
Other intangible assets | 8.4 | |||
Total assets | $ | 36.9 | ||
Liabilities: | ||||
Accounts payable | 1.3 | |||
Deferred revenue | 2.3 | |||
Other liabilities | 2.4 | |||
Deferred taxes | 4.1 | |||
Total liabilities | 10.1 | |||
Total purchase price | $ | 45.7 | ||
Goodwill | $ | 18.9 |
The customer relationships and other intangible assets will be amortized over a weighted-average useful life of approximately 12 years.
FormcookAcquisition
During the first quarter of 2014, John Bean Technologies AB (JBT AB), our wholly-owned subsidiary, acquired certain assets and liabilities of Formcook AB, a regional leader in designing, manufacturing and servicing custom-built industrial cooking and forming technologies for the food processing industry. This transaction was accounted for as a business combination. The purchase price was less than $2 million. While the acquisition was not material to our 2014 results, it is strategically important to our efforts to strengthen our protein processing portfolio.
The pro forma impact of these acquisitions is not material individually or in the aggregate and as such, is not presented.

Note5.DEBT
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. 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 maximum interest coverage ratio and maximum leverage ratio, as well as certain events of default. As of September 30, 2015 we had $229.1 million drawn on the credit facility at a weighted-average interest rate of 1.6%.
On July 31, 2015 our $75 million principal amount of 6.66% senior unsecured notes became due. We used borrowings under the $450 million revolving credit facility noted above to fund the repayment in full of these senior unsecured notes.

We expect to contribute $17 million to our pension and other postretirement benefit plans in 2015. We contributed $10 million to our U.S. qualified pension plan during the nine months ended September 30, 2015.
On August 31, 2015, JBT amended the Retiree Welfare Benefits Plan to terminate future healthcare benefits effective January 1, 2016, which resulted in a release of $1.2 million of other postretirement benefit liability into other comprehensive income. The resulting negative prior service cost of $1.8 million will be amortized out of other comprehensive income into net income over the remaining life of the plan (through January 1, 2016). The gain from this plan amendment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 was $0.4 million.
Note7. 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 September 30, 2015 by component are shown in the following table:

Note8.stock-based compensation
On March 13, 2015, we granted 192,589 restricted stock units with a total fair value of $6.7 million to certain employees under an existing stock-based compensation plan. The units will vest three years from the date of grant, in March 2018, and are expected to be amortized over the vesting period. We recognize compensation expense based on estimated grant date fair values for all share-based awards issued to employees and directors. The total compensation expense was $1.9 million and $5.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively. The total compensation expense was $1.9 million and $5.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively.

Note10. 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 September 30, 2015 of $296.0 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 September 30, 2015 | As of December 31, 2014 | |||||||||||||||
(In millions) | Derivative Assets | Derivative Liabilities | Derivative Assets | Derivative Liabilities | ||||||||||||

Total | $ | 5.9 | $ | 1.8 | $ | 9.1 | $ | 3.9 | ||||||||
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 September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, information related to these offsetting arrangements was as follows:

Interest Rates: On March 23, 2015 we entered into two forward starting interest rate swaps, designated as cash flow hedges against the cash flow variability related to the interest rate exposure on a portion of our variable rate debt. The first swap is for the period beginning August 10, 2015 through February 10, 2020 for variability in cash flow related to interest expense on $75 million of our borrowings, fixing the annual interest rate at 1.592% plus a margin dependent on our leverage ratio. The second swap is for the period from January 11, 2016 through February 10, 2020 for variability in cash flow related to interest expense on an additional $100 million of our borrowings, fixing the annual interest rate at 1.711% plus a margin dependent on our leverage ratio. At September 30, 2015, the fair value recorded in other liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet is $3.1 million. The effective portion of these derivatives designated as cash flow hedges of $1.8 million has been reported in other comprehensive income (loss) on the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) as of September 30, 2015.
Ineffectiveness from cash flow hedges, all of which are interest rate swaps, was immaterial as of September 30, 2015.
Refer to Note 11. Fair Value of Financial Instruments, for a description of how the values of the above financial instruments are determined.
Credit Risk
By their nature, financial instruments involve risk including credit risk for non-performance by counterparties. Financial instruments that potentially subject 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. 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:

Derivatives | $ | 4.9 | $ | - | $ | 4.9 | $ | - | $ | 3.9 | $ | - | $ | 3.9 | $ | - | ||||||||||||||||
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 on the consolidated balance sheet. Investments include an unrealized loss of $0.7 million as of September 30, 2015 and $0.2 million as of December 31, 2014.
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 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 September 30, 2015 | As of December 31, 2014 | |||||||||||||||
(In millions) | Carrying Value | Estimated Fair Value | Carrying Value | Estimated Fair Value | ||||||||||||
Senior unsecured notes due July 31, 2015 | $ | - | $ | - | $ | 75.0 | $ | 77.6 | ||||||||

Foreign credit facilities | 0.2 | 0.2 | 2.3 | 2.3 | ||||||||||||
Other | 0.3 | 0.3 | 0.1 | 0.1 | ||||||||||||
There is no active or observable market for our fixed rate borrowings, which include our senior unsecured notes and our Brazilian loans. Therefore, the estimated fair value of the notes and 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 notes and the loans are based on a broker quote for notes and 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.
Note12. Commitments and Contingencies
In the normal course of our business, we are 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. An estimate of a possible loss from this audit cannot be made 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 $128.9 million at September 30, 2015, represent guarantees of our future performance. We also have provided $6.6 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 September 30, 2015, the gross value of such arrangements was $10.3 million, of which our net exposure under such guarantees is $1.6 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:

NOTE 14. RESTRUCTURING
Restructuringcosts 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.
During the fourth quarter of 2013, we implemented a restructuring plan that included management changes both in the U.S. and in non-U.S. subsidiaries. We incurred severance costs of $1.6 million in connection with this plan in the fourth quarter of 2013. We completed the plan in the third quarter of 2015.
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. Remaining payments required under this plan are expected to be paid during 2015 and 2016.

NOTE 15. SUBSEQUENT EVENT
On October 1, 2015, we completed our acquisition of the shares of A&B Process Systems (“A&B”), located in Stratford, Wisconsin. A&B specializes in the design, manufacturing, automation and installation of liquid foods turnkey production systems. This acquisition, along with our recently completed acquisitions of ICS and SFDS, greatly strengthens JBT's liquid foods portfolio and our ability to provide complete solutions to customers. The purchase price was $102 million, which was funded with cash on hand as well as borrowings under our revolving credit facility.

Executive Overview
We are a global technology solutions provider for the food processing 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 2014, we instituted management changes and developed our Next Level strategy 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.
In the “fix” category, we embarked on efforts to streamline our organization. We incurred restructuring charges in 2014 to improve efficiency and right-size our business. We completed our corporate office and almost all of our U.S. restructuring in 2014. Our European restructuring is well underway, and we expect it to be complete in 2016.
To strengthen the business, we introduced 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 have introduced RCI via extensive leadership training and have implemented it at many JBT production facilities.
There are several specific components to our strategy to enhance growth. We are investing 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 are establishing a robust, direct presence in Asia, which we believe is critical to winning business from local producers. We have increased our selling expenses and research and development costs, a trend we expect to continue, in order to support these Next Level Initiatives. In addition to our ongoing new product development across our businesses, acquisitions are an integral part of JBT’s growth strategy. In 2014, we completed three acquisitions. In 2015, we completed two additional acquisitions. These acquisitions reflect our strategic focus on companies that complement our protein processing and liquid foods portfolios.
As we evaluate our operating results, we consider our key performance indicators of segment revenue, segment operating profit, EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization), and the level of inbound orders and order backlog.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 include several items that affect the comparability of our results.

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. 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 $30.1 million, or 12.4%, in the third quarter of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014. Organic revenue grew by 11.9%, revenue from acquired companies added 8.6%, and currency translation decreased revenue by 8.1%.
Operating income increased by $5.9 million, and $8.8 million in constant currency, compared to the same period in 2014 as a result of the following items:
● | Gross profit increased by $17.0 million as a result of higher sales volume, continued impact of strategic pricing initiatives and cost savings associated with our restructuring actions and productivity improvement initiatives, partially offset by an increase of $0.4 million in amortization of intangibles. |
● | Selling, general and administrative expense increased $7.8 million as a result of the addition of newly acquired businesses as well as investments to support Next Level initiatives. |
● | Research and development expense increased $1.9 million primarily due to AeroTech investments to support Next Level initiatives. |
● | Restructuring expense decreased $1.3 million. During the third quarter of 2014, we continued our plan to optimize the overall JBT cost structure on a global basis and incurred additional restructuring costs related to this plan of $1.3 million. |
Net interest expense decreased by $0.2 million primarily due to the settlement of the senior unsecured notes in July, 2015. The unsecured notes carried an interest rate of 6.66%, and have been replaced with lower interest rate borrowings under the revolving credit facility.
Income tax expense in the third quarter of 2015 and 2014 reflected an expected effective annual income tax rate of 32.9% and 32.6%, respectively. Both years also had $0.2 million in incremental tax expense reflecting the determination of higher tax liabilities in previous years.

The following items have been excluded in computing segment operating profit: corporate staff-related expense, stock-based compensation, LIFO provisions, restructuring costs, certain employee benefit expenses, interest income and expense and income taxes. |
JBT FoodTech
JBT FoodTech’s revenue increased by $29.8 million, and increased $48.1 million in constant currency, in the third quarter of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014. Acquisitions contributed $20.9 million in revenue, and the remaining FoodTech business contributed $27.3 million in growth in revenue. The key driver of organic revenue performance was higher protein processing equipment sales in North America and Asia and higher liquid foods sales in North America, Europe, and Asia.
JBT FoodTech’s operating profit increased by $5.0 million in the third quarter of 2015, but increased by $7.8 million in constant currency, compared to the same period in 2014. Operating profit margin increased from 10.5% to 11.5%. Higher volume and increased profit margins contributed $14.9 million and $1.0 million in increased operating profit, respectively. Gross profit margin improved in protein processing driven by strategic pricing, better manufacturing efficiency and benefits of restructuring. This improvement was partly offset by increased selling, general and administrative expenses and research and development costs of $8.1 million, primarily a result of acquisitions and investments to support Next Level initiatives.
JBT AeroTech
JBT AeroTech's revenue in the three months ended September 30, 2015 increased $0.2 million from the same period in 2014. Revenues from our fixed equipment business increased by $2.0 million largely due to an increase in aftermarket parts and service. Revenues in our airport services business unit improved by $1.9 million as a result of higher revenues from new and existing maintenance contracts. These improvements were mostly offset by a $3.7 million decline in revenues from mobile equipment mainly due to lower shipments of equipment and services to military customers.
JBT AeroTech's operating profit decreased by $0.8 million in the third quarter of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014. Gross profit margins improved by $0.8 million primarily as a result of strategic pricing and productivity improvements. The improvement in gross profit was more than offset by an increase in selling expenses and research and development costs of $1.5 million driven largely by investments to support Next Level initiatives. The remaining $0.1 million decline is the result of the impact of foreign currency translation.
CorporateExpense
Corporate expense decreased by $0.4 million in the third quarter of 2015 driven by the completion of our management succession plan and strategy consulting in 2014, lower inflation estimates in LIFO expense in 2015, offset by higher overall spending to support Next Level initiatives.

● | Research and development expense increased $3.3 million primarily due to AeroTech investments to support Next Level initiatives. |
● | Restructuring expense decreased $12.5 million. In the nine months ended September 30, 2014 we recorded a restructuring expense of $12.5 million in connection with our plan to optimize the overall JBT cost structure on a global basis. |
Net interest expense increased by $0.8 million as a result of higher average debt balances driven by acquisitions, partially offset by the reduction in interest rate as a result of replacing senior unsecured notes with lower interest rate borrowings under the revolving credit facility.
Income tax expense in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 reflected an expected effective annual income tax rate of 32.9%, which included $0.3 million in incremental tax expense reflecting the determination of higher tax liabilities in previous years. Income tax expense in the nine months ended September 30, 2014 reflected an expected effective annual income tax rate of 32.6%, which included $0.5 million in incremental tax expense reflecting the determination of higher tax liabilities in previous years and an uncertain tax position.

The following items have been excluded in computing segment operating profit: corporate staff-related expense, stock-based compensation, LIFO provisions, restructuring costs, certain employee benefit expenses, interest income and expense and income taxes. |
JBT FoodTech
JBT FoodTech’s revenue increased by $23.9 million, and increased $74.5 million in constant currency, in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the same period in 2014. The increase was driven by organic growth of $32.6 million from higher sales of protein processing products and services in Europe and North America and higher liquid foods sales in North America, Europe, and Asia, and revenue from new acquisitions of $42.0 million.
JBT FoodTech operating profit increased by $5.7 million, or $13.1 million in constant currency, in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the same period in 2014. Operating profit margin increased from 11.0% to 11.7% as a result of $23.2 million of higher volume and $7.4 million in increased product profit margins. Gross profit margin improved from strategic pricing, sourcing savings, and other cost reduction initiatives. Improved profitability was partly offset by higher selling, general and administrative expenses and research and development costs of $17.5 million, primarily a result of acquisitions and other Next Level initiatives.
JBT AeroTech
JBT AeroTech's revenue increased by $40.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the same period in 2014. Revenue from fixed equipment increased $26.7 million driven by higher investment into global airport infrastructure. Revenue from mobile equipment increased $7.8 million driven by higher demand for deicers and cargo loaders partly offset by lower demand for other equipment and services. The remaining increase in revenue of $5.9 million is mainly due to higher revenues from new and existing maintenance contracts in our airport services business.
JBT AeroTech's operating profit increased by $8.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the same period in 2014. Higher sales volume accounted for $8.4 million of the improvement and an increase in gross profit margins provided another $4.6 million of operating profit. The increase in gross profit margins was primarily driven by strategic pricing improvements and leveraging of fixed costs. Partly offsetting the gross profit improvement was an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses and research and development costs of $4.5 million driven largely by investments to support Next Level initiatives. The remaining $0.2 million decline is the result of the impact of foreign currency translation.
CorporateExpenses
Corporate expense decreased by $3.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 driven by the completion of our management succession plan and strategy and pricing consulting during 2014, partially offset by higher spending to support Next Level initiatives.
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 September 30, 2015, or cash plus borrowing ability under our revolving credit facilities, was $227.2 million. The cash flows generated by our operations and the credit facility have historically been sufficient to satisfy our working capital needs, research and development activities, capital expenditures, pension contributions, authorized share repurchases, acquisitions and other financing requirements.
As of September 30, 2015, we had $37.9 million of cash and cash equivalents, $34.1 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 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 September 30, 2015 was approximately $37.5 million. During 2015, 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 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 nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 were as follows:
(In millions) | 2015 | 2014 | ||||||
Cash provided by continuing operating activities | $ | 47.9 | $ | 49.5 | ||||
Cash required by investing activities | (74.5 | ) | (64.3 | ) | ||||
Cash provided by financing activities | 37.2 | 14.7 | ||||||
Net cash required by discontinued operations | (0.1 | ) | (0.4 | ) | ||||
Effect of foreign exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents | (5.9 | ) | (5.6 | ) | ||||
Increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents | $ | 4.6 | $ | (6.1 | ) | |||
Cash provided by continuing operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was $47.9 million, representing a $1.6 million decrease from 2014. While the total cash provided by continuing operating activities stayed relatively consistent year-over-year, higher income and advanced payments in the period contributed to an increase, which was offset by slower collections on our accounts receivable in 2015. We expect to contribute approximately $7.0 million to our pension and other post-retirement benefit plans during the remainder of 2015.
Cash required by investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was $74.5 million, an increase of $10.2 million from 2014 due primarily to increased acquisition spending related to SFDS which was acquired in the third quarter of 2015. These increased costs were partially offset by lower capital expenditures in 2015 and proceeds received upon disposal of a property available for sale.
Cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was $37.2 million, an increase of $22.5 million from 2014. The change in financing cash flows was driven by an increase in borrowings against our 5-year revolving credit facility to fund the SFDS acquisition that closed in July 2015. This was partially offset by share repurchases completed during the period.
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. 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 September 30, 2015 we had $229.1 million drawn on the revolving credit facility.
On March 23, 2015 we entered into two forward starting interest rate swaps which fixed the annual interest rate on a portion of our borrowing under the credit facility. The first swap covers the period beginning August 10, 2015 to February 10, 2020, and fixed the interest rate on $75 million of our borrowings at 1.592% plus a margin dependent on our leverage ratio. The second swap covers the period from January 11, 2016 to February 10, 2020, and fixed the interest on an additional $100 million of our borrowings at 1.711% plus a margin dependent on our leverage ratio.
On July 31, 2015 our $75 million principal amount of 6.66% senior unsecured notes became due. We used borrowings under the $450 million revolving credit facility noted above to fund the repayment in full of these senior unsecured notes.
Our Brazilian subsidiary entered into two loans during 2013. The first loan was a $4.0 million loan with an annual interest cost of 5.5% that matured and was paid in full on August 20, 2014. The second loan was a Brazilian real denominated loan with an outstanding balance of Brl 2.3 million (approximately $0.6 million) as of September 30, 2015, which bears an annual interest rate of 5.5%. The first payment on this loan was made on May 15, 2014, with equal monthly payments required for 24 months thereafter.
During 2014, the Brazilian subsidiary entered into an additional Brazilian real denominated loan with an outstanding balance of Br1 11.5 million (approximately $2.9 million) as of September 30, 2015, which bears an annual interest rate of 8.0%. The first payment on this loan is due 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 September 30, 2015, we had $0.2 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 September 30, 2015, 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 September 30, 2015, we were in compliance with all covenants under the agreements governing our indebtedness discussed 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
Projected revenue growth of 9-10 percent in 2015 includes a 7 percent headwind from foreign currency translation due to significant appreciation of the US Dollar in the last months of 2014 and during 2015. We expect 2015 segment operating margins to expand 50 to 75 basis points, resulting from continued benefits from our restructuring actions and Next Level operational initiatives. This forecast includes the acquisition completed in the third quarter and the recently announced acquisition that has been completed in the beginning of the fourth quarter. Based on these expectations, the diluted earnings per share from continuing operations guidance for 2015 is $1.75 - $1.80, which includes an estimated foreign currency translation headwind of $0.18 per share and approximately $0.08 per share dilutive impact from the two acquisitions in 2015.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
Refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 for a discussion of our critical accounting estimates. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, there were no material changes in our judgments and assumptions associated with the development of our critical accounting estimates.
ITEM 3. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK |
There have been no material changes in reported market risks from the information reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.
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 September 30, 2015. We have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were:
i) | effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms; and |
ii) | effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. |
In the ordinary course of business, we review our system of internal control over financial reporting and make changes to our systems and processes to improve such controls and increase efficiency, while ensuring that we maintain an effective internal control environment. Changes may include such activities as implementing new, more efficient systems, automating manual processes and updating existing systems. For example, in the first quarter of 2014, we implemented a plan to enhance the Company’s general and administrative infrastructure. This included centralizing certain administrative and transaction functions in North America to leverage a shared services model. As a result of the transition of these accounting operations to a central location, the personnel responsible for executing controls over the processing of transactions in certain processes changed during the third quarter of 2014. The central location began processing transactions in the third quarter of 2014. This transition process will continue through 2015. Management believes it took the necessary steps to monitor and maintain appropriate internal controls during the period of change. The implementation of global shared services is in the early stages, and we believe the related changes to processes and internal controls will allow us to be more efficient and further enhance our internal control over financial reporting.
Other than noted above, there were no changes in controls identified in the evaluation for the quarter ended September 30, 2015 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 September 30, 2015, and the related condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, and cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014. 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, 2014, 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 March 2, 2015, 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, 2014, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.
