JBT CORPORATION --------------- NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES --------------------------- (Unaudited and in millions, except per share data) The tables below show a reconciliation from Operating income to EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA by segment and consolidated for JBT. For the three months ended March 31, 2016: Operating Depreciation Adjusted income and EBITDA Amortization EBITDA Adjustments ---------- ------------- ------ ----------- --------- JBT FoodTech $18.8 $7.6 $26.4 $ - $26.4 JBT AeroTech 8.5 0.6 9.1 - 9.1 Corporate expense (10.4) 0.4 (10.0) - (10.0) Restructuring expense (7.2) - (7.2) 7.2 - Total $9.7 $8.6 $18.3 $7.2 $25.5 ==== ==== ===== ==== ===== For the three months ended March 31, 2015: Operating Depreciation Adjusted income and EBITDA Amortization EBITDA Adjustments ---------- ------------- ------ ----------- --------- JBT FoodTech $13.1 $5.9 $19.0 $ - $19.0 JBT AeroTech 8.4 0.5 8.9 - 8.9 Corporate expense (7.8) 0.4 (7.4) - (7.4) Restructuring expense - - - - - Total $13.7 $6.8 $20.5 $ - $20.5 ===== ==== ===== === === ===== The tables above provide our operating income 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 the Company's 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.
