We have manufacturing operations worldwide and are strategically located to facilitate delivery of our products and services to our customers.

Basis of Presentation

The preceding condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2012, which has been derived from audited financial statements, and unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements, together with the notes thereto (the “statements”), of JBT have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. As permitted under those rules, certain footnotes and other financial information that are normally required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States has been condensed or omitted. Therefore, these statements should be read in conjunction with the audited annual consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

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 results and trends in these statements may not be representative of those for the full year or any future period.

Note 5. 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 benefits plans and foreign currency translation adjustments. Changes in the AOCI balances for the quarter ended September 30, 2013 by component are shown in the following table:

	Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits			Foreign Currency Translation			Total
(In millions)
Beginning balance, June 30, 2013	$	(84.3	)	$	(2.7	)	$	(87.0	)
Other comprehensive income before reclassification		-			3.6			3.6
Amounts reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income		0.8			-			0.8
Net current period other comprehensive income		0.8			3.6			4.4
Ending balance, September 30, 2013	$	(83.5	)	$	0.9		$	(82.6	)

 

Reclassification adjustments from AOCI into earnings for pension and other postretirement benefits plans for the three months ended September 30, 2013 were $1.1 million in selling, general and administrative expense and $0.3 million in provision for income taxes.

Changes in the AOCI balances for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 by component are shown in the following table:

	Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits			Foreign Currency Translation			Total
(In millions)

Note 7. Derivative Financial Instruments and Risk Management

Derivative Financial Instruments

We hold derivative financial instruments for the purpose of hedging foreign currency risks for certain identifiable and anticipated transactions.

We manufacture and sell our products in a number of countries throughout the world and, as a result, are exposed to movements in foreign currency exchange rates. Our major foreign currency exposures involve the markets in Western Europe, South America and Asia. Many of our sales and purchase contracts are written contemplating this risk and therefore contain embedded derivatives, 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. We do not apply hedge accounting for these forward foreign exchange contracts. As of September 30, 2013, we held forward foreign exchange contracts with an aggregate notional value of $486.8 million.

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

	As of September 30, 2013				As of December 31, 2012
(In millions)	Derivative Assets		Derivative Liabilities		Derivative Assets		Derivative Liabilities
Other current assets / liabilities	$	3.7	$	3.8	$	5.9	$	6.6
Other assets / liabilities		2.6		0.5		1.7		0.4
Total	$	6.3	$	4.3	$	7.6	$	7.0

 

Refer to Note 8. Fair Value of Financial Instruments, for a description of how the values of the above financial instruments are determined.

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. We present our derivatives at gross fair values in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, information related to these offsetting arrangements was as follows:

(in millions)	As of September 30, 2013
Offsetting of Assets							Gross Amounts Not Offset in the Consolidated Balance Sheets
	Gross Amounts of Recognized Assets		Gross Amounts Offset in the Consolidated Balance Sheets		Net Presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheets		Financial Instruments			Net Amount
Derivatives	$	6.3	$	-	$	6.3	$	(3.2	)	$	3.1

	Gross Amounts of Recognized Liabilities		Gross Amounts Offset in the Consolidated Balance Sheets		Net Presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheets		Financial Instruments			Net Amount

Derivatives	$	7.0	$	-	$	7.0	$	(3.8	)	$	3.2

The following table presents the location and amount of gains (losses) from derivatives not designated as hedging instruments in the condensed 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
		Three Months Ended September 30,						Nine Months Ended September 30,

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 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 the losses are established based on collectability assessments.

8

Note 8. 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 September 30, 2013								As of December 31, 2012
(In millions)	Total		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Assets:
Investments	$	11.2	$	11.2	$	-	$	-	$	11.1	$	11.1	$	-	$	-
Derivatives	$	6.3		-		6.3		-		7.6		-		7.6		-
Total assets	$	17.5	$	11.2	$	6.3	$	-	$	18.7	$	11.1	$	7.6	$	-
Liabilities:
Derivatives	$	4.3	$	-	$	4.3	$	-	$	7.0	$	-	$	7.0	$	-

 

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 included in other assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Investments include an unrealized gain of $0.4 million as of September 30, 2013 and an unrealized gain of $0.4 million as of December 31, 2012.

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 as well as a factor of credit risk.

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and accounts 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 in the table below:

	As of September 30, 2013				As of December 31, 2012
(In millions)	Carrying Value		Estimated Fair Value		Carrying Value		Estimated Fair Value
Senior unsecured notes due July 31, 2015	$	75.0	$	81.2	$	75.0	$	83.9
Revolving credit facility, expires November 30, 2017		24.4		24.4		113.5		113.5
Brazilian loan due August 20, 2014		4.0		4.0		-		-
Brazilian loan due April 15, 2016		3.5		3.0		-		-
Foreign credit facilities		1.0		1.0		1.8		1.8
Other		0.6		0.6		0.8		0.8

 

There is no active or observable market for our senior unsecured notes or our Brazilian loans. Therefore, the estimated fair value of the notes and the loans are based on discounted cash flows using current interest rates available for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities. The estimate 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.

Note 9. Commitments and Contingencies

We are involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. Although the results of litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, we do not believe that the resolution of the proceedings that we are involved in, either individually or taken as a whole, will have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

9

Under our Separation and Distribution Agreement with FMC Technologies, we have assumed liabilities related to specified legal proceedings arising from our business prior to the spin-off. As a result, although FMC Technologies will remain the named defendant, we will manage the litigation and indemnify FMC Technologies for costs, expenses and judgments arising from litigation. We do not believe that any existing litigation we have assumed will have a material effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

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 $87.0 million at September 30, 2013, represent guarantees of our future performance. We also have provided $5.2 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, and 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 a small portion of our customers’ financing arrangements and retain recourse to the equipment sold. As of September 30, 2013, the maximum future payment obligation of such guarantees was $2.7 million. Historically, we have not made significant payments associated with guarantees of our customers’ financing arrangements.

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 warranty liability when additional specific obligations are identified. The obligation reflected in other current liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets is based on historical experience by product and considers failure rates and the related costs in correcting a product failure. Warranty cost and accrual information were as follows:

Total revenue increased $28.2 million in the third quarter of 2013 compared to the same period in 2012. Equipment revenue increased $21.4 million in the third quarter of 2013 driven by both FoodTech and AeroTech. Aftermarket sales contributed $9.3 million in increased revenue with $6.9 million of the increase attributable to FoodTech and $2.4 million achieved by AeroTech. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of approximately $2 million in AeroTech airport service revenue and unfavorable foreign currency translation of approximately $1.1 million that was primarily the result of a weaker Brazilian real.

Operating income increased by $1.3 million or 12.6% in the third quarter of 2013 compared to the same period in 2012 resulting from the following:

● Gross profit increased by $2.2 million. Higher volume contributed $7.4 million but was partly offset by lower gross margin which decreased operating profit by $4.8 million. Lower gross profit margin was mostly the result of a shift in mix as a higher proportion of revenue came from lower margin product lines in the three months ended September 30, 2013.

● Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $1.3 million. The increase was primarily attributable to $1.0 million of cost related to a management succession plan. The remaining increase was driven by higher incentive compensation and pension expense.

● Research and development expense increased by $0.4 million due to higher expenditures across FoodTech protein processing product lines as part of our continued 4G value creation strategy.

● Other expense (income), net improved by $0.8 million, driven primarily by the absence of the strategy expenses incurred in the same period of 2012.

Interest expense remained relatively flat in the third quarter of 2013 compared to the same period in 2012. The increase in interest income of $0.5 million was generated by cash invested overseas during the third quarter of 2013.

Income tax expense in the third quarter of 2013 and 2012 reflected an expected effective income tax rate for the full year of 34% and 35%, respectively. We recognized tax benefits of $0.6 million in the three months ended September 30, 2013, reflecting the determination of lower income tax liabilities for previous years.

Segment operating profit is defined as total segment revenue less segment operating expenses. The following items have been excluded in computing segment operating profit: corporate staff expense, foreign currency-related gains and losses, LIFO provisions, restructuring costs, certain employee benefit expenses, interest income and expense and income taxes.

JBT FoodTech

JBT FoodTech revenue increased by $21.1 million in the third quarter of 2013 compared to the same period in 2012. Higher equipment sales and aftermarket revenue contributed $14.6 million and $6.9 million, respectively. In-container equipment sales added $6.2 million while fruit and juice processing equipment sales contributed $4.7 million. Freezing and protein processing products sales increased by $3.4 million which was driven mostly by growth in North America and Asia. The strongest growth in aftermarket sales was in-container equipment also with contribution from North America freezing and protein processing products. These increases were partially offset by lower freezing equipment volume out of Europe which decreased revenue by approximately $11 million. Unfavorable foreign currency translation that was primarily the result of a weaker Brazilian real impacted revenue by $0.8 million.

JBT FoodTech operating profit increased by $3.3 million in the third quarter of 2013 compared to the same period in 2012. Operating margin increased from 7.7% in the third quarter of 2012 to 8.9% in the same period in 2013. This was primarily driven by higher sales volume which contributed $6.3 million in higher profit. Lower gross profit margin decreased operating profit by $1.7 million, primarily the result of a higher proportion of revenue from certain lower margin in-container equipment product lines. Selling, general and administrative expense increased by $0.6 million primarily driven by business growth of in-container equipment as well as increased employee-related expense in Asia and Latin America. Research and development expense increased by $0.4 million reflecting investment in protein processing product lines.

JBT AeroTech

JBT AeroTech revenue increased by $9.0 million in the third quarter of 2013, compared to the same period in 2012. Higher revenue was driven primarily by improved deicer demand as well as increased automated systems sales. Higher ground supports and gate equipment aftermarket sales also contributed to the higher revenue. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in airport service revenue and Halvorsen product line sales.

JBT AeroTech third quarter operating profit increased by $0.4 million but operating margin declined compared to the same period in 2012. Higher volume in ground support equipment and automated systems contributed $2.0 million in profit. The increase was offset by a decrease in profit of $2.2 million due to lower gross margins which was mainly the result of an unfavorable gate equipment product mix. Selling, general and administrative expense decreased by $0.6 million, compared to the same period in 2012, as the result of lower employee-related costs and legal expenses. 

13

Corporate Items

Corporate items increased by $1.8 million in the third quarter of 2013 compared to the same period in 2012. The increase was primarily driven by costs related to a management succession plan of approximately $1.0 million and higher foreign currency losses of approximately $1.6 million. The increase was offset by lower net interest expense of $0.6 million.

* Not meaningful

Total revenue increased by $21.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012. Increased revenue was driven primarily by new equipment sales of $21.4 million in FoodTech. Strong aftermarket sales growth of $5.5 million from both FoodTech and AeroTech also contributed to the revenue increase. These increases were partially offset by decreased airport service revenue of $3.9 million and unfavorable foreign exchange impact of $2.3 million that primarily was the result of weaker a Brazilian real.

Operating income increased $0.9 million or 2.8% in the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012 resulting from the following:

● Higher sales volume drove $6.0 million in higher operating profit. Margin improvement contributed $3.2 million. The lower production costs of high capacity freezers manufactured in the U.S. and various margin improvement initiatives across JBT FoodTech contributed $7.5 million. This was partially offset by a decrease of $4.9 million due to lower margins in gate equipment in JBT AeroTech.

● Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $6.0 million. Higher selling costs, employee-related costs and legal costs in JBT FoodTech contributed approximately $3.7 million to the increase. Incentive compensation expense and pension expense increased by $0.9 million and $0.6 million, respectively.

● Research and development spending are consistent with the same period in 2012.

● Other income, net decreased by $0.2 million primarily due to foreign currency losses.

Income tax expense in the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 reflected an expected effective income tax rate for the full year of 34% and 35%, respectively. We recognized tax benefits of $1.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2013, reflecting the determination of lower income tax liabilities for the previous years.

Segment operating profit is defined as total segment revenue less segment operating expenses. The following items have been excluded in computing segment operating profit: corporate staff expense, foreign currency related gains and losses, LIFO provisions, restructuring costs, certain employee benefit expenses, interest income and expense and income taxes.

JBT FoodTech

JBT FoodTech revenue increased by $24.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012. The increase was primarily driven by approximately $21 million in higher new equipment sales. Fruit and juice processing equipment sales contributed $14.0 million and in-container equipment added $5.5 million. Revenue from freezing and protein processing products increased by $1.1 million primarily driven by growth in North America partially offset by lower revenue in Europe. Aftermarket revenue increased by $2.4 million primarily driven by in-container aftermarket sales. Unfavorable foreign currency translation that was primarily the result of a weaker Brazilian real reduced revenue by $1.8 million.

JBT FoodTech operating profit increased by $10.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012. Strong sales volume resulted in $7.4 million of higher profit. Operating margin increased from 8.0% in the third quarter of 2012 to 10.0% in the same period in 2013. Higher gross profit margin contributed $7.5 million of higher profit which was primarily the result of lower costs on freezing and chilling products manufactured in North America, historically exported from Sweden. Savings from cost reduction initiatives across FoodTech and improved productivity also contributed to the higher gross profit margin. Selling, general and administrative expense increased by $3.7 million. The increase was primarily driven by higher legal costs in Europe and increased employee-related spending in Europe and Asia. An increase in selling costs due to in-container equipment business growth also contributed to the increase. Research and development expense increased by $0.5 million reflecting investment in protein processing product lines.

JBT AeroTech

JBT AeroTech’s revenue in the nine months ended September 30, 2013 remained relatively flat compared to the same period of 2012. Revenue increases from ground support equipment and aftermarket contributed $10.5 million and $5.0 million, respectively. The higher product revenue was primarily driven by higher demand for deicers. These increases were partially offset by decreased equipment sales of $2.0 million in gate equipment and decreased automated systems sales of $3.2 million. Halvorsen products sales declined by $5.7 million. Airport services sales decreased by $3.7 million.

JBT AeroTech’s operating profit decreased by $4.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to the same period of 2012. Operating margin decreased from 8.4% in third quarter of 2012 to 6.7% in the same period of 2013. Lower profit margin accounted for $3.5 million of the profit decline that was primarily attributable to an unfavorable gate equipment product mix. The absence of a $1.4 million gain on the sale of our French hospital automated systems contracts and services to Swisslog in the second quarter of 2012 also contributed to the profit decline. Selling, general and administrative spending remained relatively consistent with the same period in 2012. Research and development expense decreased by $0.6 million as the result of shifting engineering resources from research and development efforts to project production.

15

Corporate Items

Corporate items increased by $3.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012. The increase was primarily driven by higher foreign currency loss of $1.9 million, higher long term incentive compensation and pension expenses of $1.4 million, approximately $1.0 million in costs related to a management succession plan and $0.6 million higher consulting expense. The increases were partly offset by $1.0 million lower net interest expense.

Inbound Orders and Order Backlog

Inbound orders represent the estimated sales value of confirmed customer orders received during the reporting period. Inbound orders were as follows:

	Three Months Ended					Nine Months Ended
	September 30,					September 30,

JBT FoodTech	$	184.8	$	147.8	$	173.1
JBT AeroTech		181.5		135.3		170.8
Total order backlog	$	366.3	$	283.1	$	343.9

 

Order backlog in our JBT FoodTech segment at September 30, 2013 increased by $37.0 million over December 31, 2012 and by $11.7 million as compared to September 30, 2012. The increase over December 31, 2012 was primarily driven by approximately $24 million of higher backlog for freezing/chilling and protein processing products in Europe and Asia Pacific regions. Higher backlog for in-container processing equipment contributed approximately $10 million to the increase. The increase in order backlog as compared to September 30, 2012 was primarily driven by higher backlog for freezing and chilling products in Asia Pacific region and in-container processing equipment as well as fruit and juice equipment. These increases were partly offset by decreased freezing/chilling and protein processing products backlog in North America. Order backlog in our JBT AeroTech segment at September 30, 2013 increased by $46.2 million over December 31, 2012 primarily driven by orders for automated systems and gate equipment. Order backlog increased by $10.7 million as compared to September 30, 2012, primarily driven by higher automated system and gate equipment orders.

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. 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, dividends, acquisitions and other financing requirements. We are not aware of any circumstances that are likely to result in our liquidity increasing or decreasing materially in the near-term.

As of September 30, 2013, we had $35.6 million of cash and cash equivalents, $32.4 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 restrictions on the repatriation of these funds. We maintain significant operations outside of the U.S. and use our cash for working capital, capital expenditures and business acquisitions in these foreign subsidiaries. If these funds were needed to fund our operations or satisfy obligations in the U.S., they could be repatriated and their repatriation to the U.S. could cause us to incur additional U.S. income taxes and potential foreign withholding taxes. Any additional taxes may be offset, in part or in whole, by foreign tax credits. The amount of such taxes and application of tax credits would depend on the income tax laws and other circumstances at the time of repatriation.

Permanently invested funds held outside of the U.S. are available to fund operations in non-U.S. subsidiaries; such cash is also loaned to the U.S. parent company. Under the Internal Revenue Code, these loans are permitted to be outstanding for 30 days or less and all such loans are required to be outstanding for a total of less than 60 days during the year. Amounts outstanding subject to this rule at September 30, 2013 were $97.3 million. We may choose to access such funds again in the future as allowed under the rule.

Cash provided by continuing operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $48.9 million, representing a $19.7 million decrease compared to the same period in 2012. The change in operating cash flows was primarily attributable to higher inventory investment in the third quarter of 2013 as a result of higher backlog compared to the same period in 2012.

Cash required by investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $20.1 million, relatively unchanged compared to the same period in 2012. The absence of acquisition spending of $5.0 million that occurred in May 2012 was partially offset by increased capital expenditures of approximately $4 million. Much of our capital spending supports the maintenance and upgrading of our installed base of leased equipment. We anticipate spending $16 million to $19 million on construction of a new JBT FoodTech plant in Lakeland, Florida to replace an existing plant in the same area. We expect to spend approximately $3 million on its construction in the fourth quarter of 2013.

Cash required by financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $91.4 million compared to cash provided by financing activities of $28.6 million in the same period in 2012. The change in financing cash flow was primarily driven by the reduction of our borrowings under the 5-year revolving credit facility.

Financing Arrangements

We have a $300 million 5-year revolving credit facility that expires on November 30, 2017. Borrowings under the credit facility bear interest, at our option, at LIBOR or an alternative base rate, which is the greater of JPMorgan Chase, N.A.’s Prime Rate, the Federal Funds Rate plus 50 basis points, and LIBOR plus 1%, plus a margin dependent on our leverage ratio. We are required to make periodic interest payments on the borrowed amounts and pay an annual facility fee ranging from 15.0 to 27.5 basis points, depending on our leverage ratio. As of September 30, 2013, we had $24.4 million drawn on the credit facility, $6.5 million in letters of credit issued under the credit facility and approximately $269 million of additional available funds.

We have $75 million of 6.66% senior unsecured notes outstanding. The senior unsecured notes are due on July 31, 2015 and require us to make semiannual interest payments.

Our Brazilian subsidiary entered into two loans during the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The first loan is a $4.0 million loan with an annual interest cost of 5.5% that has a first installment payment of $2.0 million due on February 21, 2014 and a second installment payment due at maturity on August 20, 2014. The second loan is a Brazilian real denominated loan in the amount of Br7.9 million (approximately $3.5 million) and bears an annual interest rate of 5.5%. The first payment on this loan is due on May 14, 2014, with equal monthly payments required for 24 months.

We have several credit facilities in China and India under which we have drawn $1.0 million and have $8.8 million of additional available funds as of September 30, 2013.

17

Our credit agreement and notes include restrictive covenants that, if not met, could lead to a renegotiation of our credit lines, requirement to repay our borrowings and/or a significant increase in our cost of financing. At September 30, 2013, we were in compliance with all covenants of our contractual obligations as shown in the following table:

Debt Instrument / Covenant	Measurement	Result as of September 30, 2013
Revolving credit facility
Interest coverage ratio (1)	Not less than 3.5	12.38
Leverage ratio (2)	Not greater than 3.25	1.22
Restricted payments (3)	Not greater than $44.0 million	7.7 million
6.66% senior unsecured notes
Interest coverage ratio (1)	Not less than 2.75	12.38
Leverage ratio (2)	Not greater than 3.25	1.22

 

(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 and extraordinary, unusual and non-recurring items, 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, to the trailing twelve months Consolidated EBITDA, as defined above.

(3) Restricted payments include all payments to shareholders such as dividends and share repurchases. Restricted payments during any fiscal year shall not exceed the sum of $25.0 million plus 50% of cumulative consolidated net income for the most recently ended four fiscal quarters at the time of making of such restricted payments.

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 the global economic conditions will not impair our ability to meet our restrictive covenants, or that the volatility in the capital and credit markets will not impair our ability to access these markets on terms acceptable to us or at all.

Outlook

JBT FoodTech is expected to achieve mid-to-high single digit percentage growth in segment revenue in 2013. Full year 2013 JBT FoodTech operating profit margin is expected to approach 11%. In JBT AeroTech, low single digit percentage revenue growth and approximately 8.5% segment operating profit margin is projected in 2013. Largely as a result of incremental management succession plan-related expenses incurred in the third quarter and anticipated in the fourth quarter, and a net loss on foreign currency positions incurred in the third quarter, the Company projects its 2013 diluted earnings per share from continuing operations to be in the range of $1.26 - $1.32.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors and Shareholders

John Bean Technologies Corporation:

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of John Bean Technologies Corporation and subsidiaries as of September 30, 2013, the related condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, and the related condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.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, 2012, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated March 7, 2013, 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, 2012, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.
