25-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In addition, many of our Risk Factors and uncertainties are currently amplified by and will continue to be amplified by the COVID-19 pandemic. Given the highly fluid nature of the COVID-19 pandemic, it is not possible to predict all such Risk Factors and uncertainties and there may be additional risks that we consider material or which are unknown. Refer to the section below titled "Impact of COVID-19 on our Business" as well as Item IA. Risk Factors in this Form 10-Q for additional information. If one or more of those or other risks or uncertainties materialize, or if our underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual results may vary materially from what we projected. Consequently, actual events and results may vary significantly from those included in or contemplated or implied by our forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements included in this Form 10-Q are made only as of the date hereof, and we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement made by us or on our behalf, whether as a result of new information, future developments, subsequent events or changes in circumstances or otherwise. Executive Overview We are a leading global technology solutions provider to high-value segments of the food and beverage industry with focus on proteins, liquid foods and automated guided vehicle systems. We design, produce, and service sophisticated products and systems for multi-national and regional customers through our FoodTech segment. We also sell critical equipment and services to domestic and international air transportation customers through our AeroTech segment. Our Elevate plan was designed to capitalize on the leadership position of our businesses and favorable macroeconomic trends. The Elevate plan is based on a four-pronged approach to deliver continued growth and margin expansion.
• Accelerate New Product &
development of innovative products and services to provide customers
with solutions that enhance yield and productivity and reduce lifetime
cost of ownership.
• Grow Recurring Revenue. We are capitalizing on our extensive installed
base to expand recurring revenue from aftermarket parts and services,
equipment leases, consumables and our Airport Services offerings.
• Execute Impact Initiatives. We are enhancing organic growth through
initiatives that enable us to sell the entire FoodTech portfolio
globally, including enhancing our international sales and support
infrastructure, localizing targeted products for emerging markets, and
strategic cross selling of products. In AeroTech, we plan to continue
to develop advanced military product offering and customer support
capability to service global military customers. Additionally, our
impact initiatives are designed to support the reduction in operating
costs including strategic sourcing, relentless continuous improvement
(lean) efforts, and the optimization of organizational structure.
• Maintain a Disciplined Acquisition Program. We are also continuing our
strategic acquisition program focused on companies that add
complementary products, which enable us to offer more comprehensive
solutions to customers, and meet our strict economic criteria for
returns and synergies.
We developed the JBT Operating System in 2018, introducing a new level of
process rigor across the Company beginning in 2019. The system is designed to
standardize and streamline reporting and problem resolution processes for
increased visibility, efficiency, effectiveness and productivity in all business
units.
Our approach to Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance (ESG) builds on
our culture and long tradition of concern for our employees' health, safety, and
well-being; partnering with our customers to find ways to make better use of the
earth's precious food resources; and giving back to the communities where we
live and work. Both our FoodTech equipment and AeroTech equipment businesses
have significant growth potential related to clean technologies. Our FoodTech
equipment and technologies continue to deliver quality performance while
striving to minimize food waste, extend food product life, and maximize
efficiency in order to create shared value for our food and beverage customers.
Our AeroTech equipment business offers a variety of power options, including
electrically powered ground support equipment, that help customers meet their
environmental objectives. We know we can do more. We have commenced a
comprehensive evaluation to determine which ESG topics are most pressing for our
business. We are gathering input from investors, customers, employees and other
stakeholders. The result will be a materiality matrix informing our development
of an ESG strategy, balanced to ensure we invest responsibly in initiatives that
can address the risks, and opportunities, presented by ESG.
We evaluate our operating results considering key performance indicators including segment operating profit, segment operating profit margin, segment EBITDA (adjusted when appropriate) and segment EBITDA margins.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Impact of COVID-19 on our Business
The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted and will continue to result in significant economic disruption and will adversely affect our business. The following uncertainties exist and may continue to have a significant impact on our overall financial results:
• our ability to obtain supplies needed for the manufacture of our products
and execution of services;
• our ability to secure logistics to and from our facilities and associated
approvals and documentation;
• our ability to access customer locations in order to executeinstallations, new product deliveries, maintenance and repair services;
• our ability to efficiently operate our facilities and meet customer
obligations due to modified employee work patterns resulting from social
distancing guidelines, absence due to illness or government ordered
closures;
• limitations on the ability of our customers to conduct their business, and
resulting impacts to our customers' purchasing patterns, from food and
travel disruption, social distancing guidelines, absence due to illness or
government ordered closures; and
• limitations on the ability of our customers to meet their financial
obligations to JBT.
Specifically, as a result of the global shelter in place and social distancing
requirements, the food industry is currently experiencing a significant rise in
retail demand driven by packaged food purchases, which is offset by a decline in
demand for food service due to the decline in restaurant, travel and school
activity. While our FoodTech customers are present in both the retail and food
services channels, the significant shift in demand creates volatility and
uncertainty in our customer's purchasing patterns. For AeroTech, a significant
portion of the business is correlated to the passenger airline industry.
Passenger air travel has virtually halted world-wide, which has and will
continue to directly impact our mobile equipment and airport services business.
While airport infrastructure spending, which is subject to long lead time
contracts, remained relatively stable in the first quarter, the rest of the year
remains fluid. In both segments, we are also experiencing reduced aftermarket
demand as we are unable to access customer facilities due to policies
restricting visitors. All of the uncertainties related to the COVID-19 pandemic
are impacting companies worldwide, which is driving our customers across both
segments to suspend their capital expenditures. These actions are likely to have
a significant impact on our inbound orders and on our results of operations for
the remainder of 2020. We expect our results of operations to be negatively
impacted in the second and third quarters, however due to the rapidly changing
and unprecedented nature of the COVID-19 pandemic, we are unable to quantify the
impact of the pandemic on our financial results.
Although we can not reasonably estimate the duration and severity of these events or the impact this will have on the global economy or our business, we believe we will emerge from these events well positioned for long-term growth.
Our Strategy to Mitigate Impacts of COVID-19
In light of all these uncertainties, our focus is to preserve liquidity while maintaining our ability to execute as a critical supplier to the essential food and air transportation industries. We are looking at opportunities to increase liquidity by availing ourselves of benefits under the CARES Act including both deferred tax payments and tax credits related to COVID-19 and deferral of contributions to theU.S. pension plan. We are reducing spending more broadly across the company including reductions in bonus and other employee compensation, reduced hiring, furloughs and layoffs, reduced work hours, significantly reducing discretionary spending, and only proceeding with critical capital spending. We have developed contingency plans to further reduce costs and uses of capital if the situation deteriorates. As of the date of this filing, most of our factories and warehouses remain operational. We have taken steps to protect the health and safety of our workers, including social distancing, work from home and travel restriction policies. Furthermore, we have largely maintained our supply chain to date through our diversified supplier base, and are providing enhanced remote support options and extended hours to our customers to support them through the disruption caused by the pandemic. We will continue to actively monitor the situation and may take further actions that alter our business operations as may be required by federal, state or local authorities or that we determine are in the best interests of our stakeholders.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We present non-GAAP financial measures in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. These non-GAAP financial measures exclude certain amounts that are included in a measure calculated underU.S. GAAP, or include certain amounts that are excluded from a measure calculated underU.S. GAAP. 27 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
These calculations may differ from similarly-titled measures used by other
companies. The non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to be used as a
substitute for, nor should they be considered in isolation of, financial
measures prepared in accordance with
Additional details for each Non-GAAP financial measure follow:
• Adjusted income from continuing operations and Adjusted diluted earnings
per share from continuing operations: We adjust earnings for restructuring
expense and M&A related costs, which include integration costs and the
amortization of inventory step-up from business combinations, and
transaction costs for both potential and completed M&A transactions ("M&A
related costs").
• EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA: We define EBITDA as earnings before income
taxes, interest expense and depreciation and amortization. We define
Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA before restructuring expense, pension expense
other than service cost and M&A related costs.
• Segment Adjusted Operating Profit and Segment Adjusted EBITDA: We report
segment operating profit, which is the measure of segment profit or loss
required to be disclosed in accordance with GAAP. We adjust segment
operating profit for restructuring expense and M&A related costs. We
calculate segment Adjusted EBITDA by subtracting depreciation and
amortization from segment adjusted operating profit.
• Free cash flow: We define free cash flow as cash provided by continuing
operating activities, less capital expenditures, plus proceeds from sale
of fixed assets and pension contributions. For free cash flow purposes we
consider contributions to pension plans to be more comparable to payment
of debt, and therefore exclude these contributions from the calculation of
free cash flow.
• Constant currency measures: We evaluate our results of operations on both
an as reported and a constant currency basis. The constant currency
presentation excludes the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency
exchange rates. We calculate constant currency percentages by converting
our financial results in local currency for a period using the average
exchange rate for the prior period to which we are comparing.
The tables included below reconcile each non-GAAP financial measure to the most
comparable GAAP financial measure.
