SPX FLOW, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited; in millions, except per share data)

(1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION

General Matters

SPX FLOW, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (“SPX FLOW,” ‘‘the Company,’’ “we,” “us,” or “our”) operate in two business segments: the Food and Beverage segment and the Industrial segment.

We prepared the condensed consolidated financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim reporting. As permitted under those rules and regulations, certain footnotes or other financial information normally required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) can be condensed or omitted. The financial statements represent our accounts after the elimination of intercompany transactions and, in our opinion, include the adjustments (consisting only of normal and recurring items) necessary for their fair presentation.

We experienced the adverse impacts of the novel coronavirus pandemic (“COVID-19” or the “COVID-19 pandemic”) beginning in the first quarter of 2020 and these adverse impacts are expected to continue in the fourth quarter of 2020, and possibly longer. Despite the adverse impacts, there are no indications that the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in a material decline in the carrying value of any assets, or a material change in the estimate of any contingent amounts, recorded in our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 26, 2020. However, there is uncertainty as to the duration and overall impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, which could result in an adverse material change in a future period to the estimates we have made related to the valuation of assets and contingent amounts, which could result in the impairment of certain assets or the recognition of costs due to increases in contingent amounts.

Preparing financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The unaudited information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements contained in our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of full year results and the condensed consolidated financial statements may not be indicative of the Company’s future performance.

For the nine months ended September 26, 2020 within the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) and of Equity, we corrected Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) to reflect $178.2 of cumulative foreign currency translation adjustments from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss related to the disposition of our discontinued operations. We have reclassified certain prior year amounts to conform to the current year presentation, including (1) the effects on results of continuing operations and discontinued operations of a change in legal entity, previously reported in discontinued operations, to continuing operations, in connection with that entity's reclassification during the fourth quarter of 2019, and (2) the borrowings under (repayments of) a purchase card program, separately from the presentation of borrowings under (repayments of) other financing arrangements, in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flow. Unless otherwise indicated, amounts provided in these Notes pertain to continuing operations and are denoted in millions of US dollars. See Note 3 for information on discontinued operations and Note 4 for information on our reportable segments.

On August 1, 2020, the Company completed the acquisition of POSI LOCK, Inc ("POSI LOCK"), a manufacturer of hydraulic and mechanical pullers used to remove certain parts from equipment in a variety of industries ranging from power transmission and light to heavy industrial applications. We purchased substantially all of the assets, including net working capital, long-term and intangible assets, and assumed certain liabilities of the business, for a cash payment of $10.0. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the POSI LOCK acquisition are recorded at their estimated fair values per preliminary valuations and management estimates and are subject to change when such valuations and estimates are finalized. The pro forma effects of the acquisition of POSI LOCK are not material to our condensed consolidated results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 26, 2020.

We establish actual interim closing dates using a fiscal calendar, which requires our businesses to close their books on the Saturday closest to the end of the first calendar quarter, with the second and third quarters being 91 days in length. Our fourth quarter ends on December 31. The interim closing dates for the first, second and third quarters of 2020 were March 28, June 27, and September 26, compared to the respective March 30, June 29, and September 28, 2019 dates. We had one less day in the first quarter of 2020 and will have two more days in the fourth quarter of 2020 than in the respective 2019 periods.

(2) NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

The following is a summary of new accounting pronouncements that apply or may apply to our business.

SPX FLOW, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

(Unaudited; in millions, except per share data)

In June 2016, and as subsequently amended, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued an amendment on the measurement of credit losses. This amendment requires companies to estimate all expected credit losses for certain types of financial instruments held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The adoption of this amendment by the Company effective January 1, 2020 did not have an impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

We concluded that this amendment applies primarily to our “Accounts Receivable, net” balance, as we have not historically experienced, nor do we expect to experience, significant credit losses related to our “Contract Assets” or “Contract Liabilities” balances. The contracts underlying “Contract Assets” and “Contract Liabilities” balances, for which revenue is recognized over time, contain cancellation and payment clauses within their terms that generally serve to protect the Company in the event of a default by a customer. In addition, customers with whom these types of contracts are entered into are historically among the Company’s largest and such customers generally have more significant levels of financial resources than certain of our customers with whom contracts are recognized at a point in time. The Company performed an analysis of its accounts receivable collection history, evaluated the aging of accounts receivables outstanding as of the adoption date and considered the potential for changes in future collection experience, in assessing the application of the amendment and in concluding that the amendment had no impact on our allowance for uncollectible account receivables as of January 1, 2020, when compared to allowances recognized based on our previously existing allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable methodologies.

In August 2018, the FASB issued an amendment to modify the disclosure requirements related to fair value measurements. This amendment removes, modifies and adds certain disclosures required under current guidance. For example, the amendment removes the requirements to disclose the amount of and reason for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy as well as the policy for timing of transfers between levels, and requires certain additional disclosures related to Level 3 fair value measurements. The adoption of this amendment by the Company effective January 1, 2020 did not have a significant impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued an amendment to align the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal use software license). Among other changes in requirements, the amendments in this update also require an entity to expense the capitalized implementation costs of a hosting arrangement that is a service contract over the term of the hosting arrangement. This amendment was adopted by the Company effective January 1, 2020 using the prospective transition approach and did not have a significant impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued an amendment to modify the disclosure requirements related to defined benefit plans. This amendment removes, clarifies and adds certain disclosures required under current guidance. For example, the amendment removes the requirement to disclose the effects of a one-percentage point change in assumed health care cost trend rates on postretirement benefit obligations and service and interest cost components of periodic benefit costs, and requires an explanation of the reasons for significant gains and losses related to changes in the benefit obligation for the period. This amendment is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact this amendment may have on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

(3) DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

We report businesses or asset groups as discontinued operations when, among other things, we commit to a plan to divest the business or asset group, we actively begin marketing the business or asset group, and when the sale of the business or asset group is deemed probable of occurrence within the next twelve months.

On May 2, 2019, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had initiated a process to divest a substantial portion of the Company’s former Power and Energy reportable segment, excluding the Bran+Luebbe product line (collectively, the “Disposal Group”). In connection with this initiative, the Company narrowed its strategic focus by separating its process solutions technologies, comprised of its Food and Beverage and its Industrial reportable segments, plus the Bran+Luebbe product line, from its flow control application technologies, comprised of the Disposal Group. Given the specific capabilities that are unique to each category of technologies and businesses, the further intent of the Company was

SPX FLOW, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

(Unaudited; in millions, except per share data)

that each business would, through a process of separation, be positioned to improve its respective service to customers through the narrowing of such strategic focus.

In connection with the May 2, 2019 announcement and the continued development of the divestiture process thereafter, and in accordance with the criteria described above, we reported the Disposal Group as “held-for-sale”, and as discontinued operations, initially as of the end of our second quarter of 2019. As the operations and organizational structure of the remaining business of the former Power and Energy segment (primarily the Bran+Luebbe product line as noted above) have been absorbed into the Industrial reportable segment, and the operating results of the Industrial reportable segment (now including the Bran+Luebbe product line) are regularly reviewed by the Company’s chief operating decision maker, we have reclassified the results of that remaining business into the Industrial reportable segment. The results of operations, cash flows, and assets and liabilities of our discontinued operations and our Industrial segment, for all periods presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, reflect this presentation.

In November 2019, we entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Sale Agreement”) with an affiliate of Apollo Global Management, LLC (the “Buyer”), pursuant to which the Company agreed, indirectly through certain of its subsidiaries, to sell the businesses reflected as discontinued operations in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements to the Buyer for a gross purchase price of $475.0 (the “Transaction”). On March 30, 2020, the Company completed the sale of substantially all such businesses and received proceeds from the Buyer of $406.2, based on an estimate of certain adjustments to the gross purchase price as of the closing date and as discussed further below and, to a lesser extent, certain fees. Net of cash and restricted cash of $7.3 included in the net assets of the Disposal Group which were sold as of March 30, 2020, cash flows from investing activities for the nine months ended September 26, 2020, reflect net proceeds of $398.9 from disposition of the Disposal Group. The consummation of the sale to the Buyer of a remaining business reflected as “Assets of Discontinued Operations” and “Liabilities of Discontinued Operations” in our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 26, 2020 and based in India, with an expected gross purchase price of $6.4, remains subject to local regulatory approvals but is expected to occur before the end of the year. The majority of the “Assets of Discontinued Operations” and “Liabilities of Discontinued Operations”, as well as cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment of $178.2 (previously included in the Company’s “Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss” balance) and “Noncontrolling Interests” of $1.2, which were removed from our condensed consolidated balance sheet during the second quarter of 2020, equaled the net proceeds received upon consummation of the Transaction.

The gross purchase price of $475.0, which includes the purchase price for the business based in India, was subject to (i) reductions based upon the level of certain deductions of the Disposal Group at the closing date, and (ii) certain adjustments based upon the level of net working capital, cash and debt of the Disposal Group at the closing date. The deductions included, for example, components of the Contract Liabilities and certain other current and long-term liabilities of the Disposal Group, as well as deductions for budgeted but un-incurred capital expenditures and other business infrastructure costs measured over periods defined in the Sale Agreement, but in all cases which expired at the closing date.

We recorded a pre-tax loss on Disposal Group of $8.5 during our first quarter of 2020 to reduce the carrying value of the Disposal Group to our estimate of the net proceeds that were expected to be realized upon finalization of the purchase price with the Buyer (which was subject to a customary period of review between the parties as discussed below), less estimated costs to sell. As this loss was determined not to be attributable to any individual components of the Disposal Group’s net assets, it was reflected as a valuation allowance against the total assets of the Disposal Group as of March 28, 2020. This loss was attributable primarily to a reduction in the U.S. dollar-denominated proceeds received from the Buyer, relative to the translated U.S. dollar-equivalent carrying values of certain non-U.S. businesses of the Disposal Group, located primarily in the U.K. and Europe, due to a strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the currencies of those businesses during the first quarter of 2020.

As noted above, finalization of the purchase price with the Buyer was subject to a customary period of review between the parties. We recorded a pre-tax loss on Disposal Group of $2.0 during our second quarter of 2020 related to working capital adjustments and ongoing discussions with the Buyer. During the third quarter of 2020, we finalized the levels of net working capital, cash and debt, and deductions as of the closing date with the Buyer, which resulted in an additional $1.2 pre-tax loss on Disposal Group being recorded in the quarter. The determination of the final settlement with the Buyer involved resolution of certain estimates and judgments based on, among other items, the interpretation and application of key terms of the Sale Agreement. In addition, during the third quarter of 2020, we recorded a $0.4 pre-tax loss on Disposal Group to reduce the carrying value of the business based in India, the sale of which remains subject to local regulatory approvals but is expected to close before the end of the year, to its expected gross purchase price of $6.4.

(Unaudited; in millions, except per share data)

In addition, the Sale Agreement includes certain indemnification obligations which we believe are customary for transactions of this nature, including for certain tax obligations, to the extent such obligations relate to fiscal periods prior to the closing date and exceed amounts which are provided for in the balance sheet of the Disposal Group at closing.

Concurrent with the closing of the Transaction, the parties entered into certain ancillary agreements including, among others, a Transition Services Agreement (the “TSA”) and a Master Procurement Agreement (the “Procurement Agreement”). Under the TSA, SPX FLOW provides the Buyer with certain specified services for varying periods in order to ensure an orderly transition of the business following the closing at agreed-upon prices or rates, which we believe approximate fair market value for such services. These services include, among others, certain information technology, finance and human resources services, and $1.3 and $2.8, respectively, of income from such services was recognized as a component of "Other Income (Expense), net" during the three and nine months ended September 26, 2020. The Procurement Agreement provides for purchases by SPX FLOW through May 2025 of certain filtration elements produced by a business unit of the Disposal Group. The historical annual amount of such purchases by SPX FLOW businesses has varied at a level between approximately $8.0 and $9.0.

Results, major classes of assets and liabilities, and significant non-cash operating items and capital expenditures of discontinued operations

Income (loss) from discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended September 26, 2020 and September 28, 2019 was as follows:

(1)During the three and nine months ended September 26, 2020, and the three months ended September 28, 2019, there was no depreciation of property, plant and equipment or amortization of intangible assets, related to our discontinued operations, as the assets of the Disposal Group were classified as held-for-sale for the period. Depreciation and amortization were recognized for the period prior to the Disposal Group being classified as held-for-sale during the nine months ended September 28, 2019, as the assets of the Disposal Group were initially classified as held-for-sale as of the end of the second quarter of 2019.

(2)During the three and nine months ended September 28, 2019, we recorded a charge to “Cost of products sold” of $17.0 related to the settlement of a previous payment demand from a customer related to a project of the Disposal Group. The demand and related claims arose from the Company’s supply of equipment used in a series of long-term nuclear power projects that were substantially complete in terms of our production, revenue recognition and receipt of payment. The liability associated with this settlement was recorded as a components of “Accrued expenses” of the discontinued operations of the Company and was paid by the Company on September 30, 2019 in connection with a settlement agreement entered into with the customer on that date. The agreement released the Company from further claims by the customer, beyond the ordinary warranty obligations that were associated with the underlying project.

(3)See previous paragraphs for further discussion regarding the loss on Disposal Group recognized during the three and nine months ended September 26, 2020. During the three and nine months ended September 28, 2019, management had evaluated indicators of fair value of the Company’s Disposal Group, including indications of fair value received from third parties in connection with the marketing of the business through the end of the third quarter of 2019. Based on developments associated with the marketing and sale process that arose during the Company’s third quarter of 2019, and indications of fair value received through the conclusion of the third quarter, the Company recorded a pre-tax charge of $52.0 to reduce the carrying value of the net assets of the Disposal Group, including relevant foreign currency translation adjustment balances, to estimated fair value less costs to sell. The loss on Disposal Group was determined not to be attributable to any individual components of the Disposal Group’s net assets, and was therefore reflected as a valuation allowance against the total assets of the Disposal Group as of September 28, 2019.

(4)In addition to any business-specific interest expense and income, the interest expense, net, of discontinued operations reflects an allocation of interest expense, including the amortization of deferred financing fees, related to the Company’s senior notes, senior credit facilities and former trade receivables financing arrangement. Interest expense related to such debt instruments and allocated to discontinued operations was $0.0 and $2.8 for the three months ended September 26, 2020 and September 28, 2019, respectively, and $1.6 and 9.2 for the nine month periods then ended, respectively. The allocation of the Company’s interest expense of these debt instruments was determined based on the proportional amount of average net assets of the discontinued operations to the Company’s average net assets during each period, with the Company’s average net assets determined excluding the average outstanding borrowings under such debt instruments during each period.

(5)During the three months ended September 26, 2020, we recorded an income tax provision of $2.5 on $(1.7) of pre-tax loss from discontinued operations, resulting in an effective tax rate of (147.1)%. This compares to an income tax benefit for the three months ended September 28, 2019 of $9.6 on $(57.3) of pre-tax loss from discontinued operations, resulting in an effective tax rate of 16.8%. The effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2020 was impacted by income tax charges of (i) $1.7 related to a reduction in the benefit related to the loss for global intangible low-taxed income purposes and (ii) $0.4 resulting from adjustments to the U.S. tax liability for prior years. The effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2019 was impacted by the effect that the majority of the loss on Disposal Group of $52.0 will not result in a tax benefit such that only $2.0 of tax benefit was recognized on that loss, as well as by a benefit of $7.5 resulting from basis differences that were realized through the disposition of the held-for-sale assets.

During the nine months ended September 26, 2020, we recorded an income tax provision of $30.6 on $(10.3) of pre-tax loss from discontinued operations, resulting in an effective tax rate of (297.1)%. This compares to an income tax provision for the nine months ended September 28, 2019 of $47.4 on $(39.1) of pre-tax loss from discontinued operations, resulting in an effective tax rate of 121.2%. The effective tax rate for the first nine months of 2020 was impacted by income tax charges of (i) $32.1 composed of the U.S. tax expense on the tax gain on sale of Disposal Group entities sold by the U.S. parent, (ii) $1.4 in reduction of the benefit to be realized through the disposition of held-for-sale assets and (iii) $0.4 resulting from adjustments to the U.S. tax liability for prior years, which were partially offset by an income tax benefit of $3.1 related to a loss for global intangible low-taxed income purposes on the sale of certain non-U.S. entities. The significant non-U.S. sales of Disposal Group entities were in locations where local law did not require any gain to be taxed or permit any loss to result in a future benefit. In addition to these, the income tax provision for the nine months ended September 26, 2020 also included the effect from the first quarter of 2020 where the majority of the pre-tax loss on Disposal Group was not deductible in the various jurisdictions where the sale of the Disposal Group will be recognized. As such, only $1.2 of a tax benefit was recognized on the $10.3 pre-tax loss on Disposal Group.

The effective tax rate for the first nine months of 2019 was impacted by (i) a benefit of $48.0 resulting from basis differences that were realized through the disposition of the held-for-sale assets and (ii) the effect that the majority of the loss on Disposal Group of $52.0 will not result in a tax benefit such that only $2.0 of tax benefit was recognized on that loss.

(3)As noted above, proceeds of $406.2 were received from the Buyer during the nine months ended September 26, 2020. Net of cash and restricted cash of $7.3 included in the net assets of the Disposal Group which were sold as of March 30, 2020, cash flows of $398.9 were realized upon disposition of the Disposal Group (excluding consummation of the sale of a business based in India, as noted above).

(4) INFORMATION ON REPORTABLE SEGMENTS, CORPORATE EXPENSE AND OTHER

We innovate with customers to help feed and enhance the world by designing, delivering and servicing high value process solutions at the heart of growing and sustaining our diverse communities with operations in over 30 countries and sales in over 140 countries around the world. The Company's product offering is concentrated in process technologies that perform mixing, blending, fluid handling, separation, thermal heat transfer and other activities that are integral to processes performed across a wide variety of sanitary and industrial markets.

Beginning in the second quarter of 2019 and after reflecting the classification of our former Power and Energy reportable segment as held-for-sale, we have two reportable segments: the Food and Beverage segment and the Industrial segment. In determining our reportable segments, we apply the threshold criteria of the Segment Reporting Topic of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Codification (the “Codification”) to operating income or loss of each segment before considering asset impairment charges, restructuring and other related charges, pension and postretirement service costs and other indirect corporate expenses (including corporate stock-based compensation). This is consistent with the way our chief operating decision maker evaluates the results of each segment.

Food and Beverage

The Food and Beverage reportable segment operates in a regulated, global industry with customers who demand highly engineered, process solutions. Key demand drivers include dairy consumption, emerging market capacity expansion, sustainability and productivity initiatives, customer product innovation and food safety. Key products for the segment include homogenizers, pumps, valves, separators and heat exchangers. We also design and assemble process systems that integrate many of these products for our customers. Key brands include APV, Gerstenberg Schroeder, Seital and Waukesha Cherry-Burrell.

Industrial

The Industrial reportable segment primarily serves customers in the chemical, air treatment, mining, pharmaceutical, marine, infrastructure construction, general industrial and water treatment industries. Key demand drivers of this segment are tied to macroeconomic conditions and growth in the respective end markets we serve. Key products for the segment are air dryers, filtration equipment, mixers, pumps, hydraulic technologies and heat exchangers. Key brands include Airpel, APV, Bolting Systems, Bran+Luebbe, Deltech, Hankison, Jemaco, Johnson Pump, LIGHTNIN, POSI LOCK, Power Team and Stone.

Corporate Expense

Corporate expense generally relates to the cost of our Charlotte, North Carolina corporate headquarters and our Asia Pacific center in Shanghai, China. Corporate expense also reflects stock-based compensation costs associated with corporate employees.

(1)Includes $0.0 and $2.7 for the three months ended September 26, 2020 and September 28, 2019, respectively, and $2.4 and $5.8 for the nine months then ended, respectively, related to costs for certain centralized functions/services provided and/or administered by SPX FLOW that were previously charged to business units of which the related financial results of operations have been reclassified to discontinued operations. These centralized functions/services included, but were not limited to, information technology, shared services for accounting, payroll services, supply chain, and manufacturing and process improvement operations/services. These costs generally represent the costs of employees who provided such centralized functions/services to the business units reclassified as discontinued operations but who remained employees of SPX FLOW upon the disposition of the discontinued operations.

(2)Asset impairment charges of $0.5, during the three months ended September 26, 2020, resulted from further management evaluation of certain assets during the third quarter which were impacted by management’s decision during the second quarter of 2020 to consolidate and relocate the operations of a U.S. manufacturing facility within the Industrial reportable segment to existing facilities in the U.S. as well as in our EMEA and APAC regions.

Other inventories are valued using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method.

(9) GOODWILL, OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS AND ASSET IMPAIRMENT CHARGES

Goodwill

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill by reportable segment during the nine months ended September 26, 2020 were as follows:


	December 31, 2019		Goodwill Resulting from Business Combination(1)		Impairments		Foreign Currency Translation and Other		September 26, 2020
Food and Beverage	$	257.5	$	—	$	—	$	3.2	$	260.7

Industrial(2)	287.6		1.2		—		3.3		292.1
Total	$	545.1	$	1.2	$	—	$	6.5	$	552.8

(1)Reflects goodwill that arose from the POSI LOCK acquisition during the third quarter of 2020. As discussed in Note 1, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the POSI LOCK acquisition are recorded at their estimated fair values using preliminary valuations and management estimates and are subject to change when such valuations and estimates are finalized.

(2)The carrying amount of goodwill included $133.8 and $133.6 of accumulated impairments as of September 26, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

We completed our annual impairment testing of goodwill (and indefinite-lived intangible assets that are not amortized) during the fourth quarter of 2019 and determined there were no impairments. The goodwill impairment tests indicated significant excess fair value over the carrying value of both of our reporting units. During the three and nine months ended September 26, 2020, we evaluated whether a triggering event had occurred due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. We do not expect the adverse impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic to significantly affect the assumptions underlying our long-term revenue and cash flow growth rates, operating models or business strategies, and the fair values of our reporting units continued to substantially exceed their respective carrying values as of September 26, 2020. Therefore, we do not consider the COVID-19 pandemic to be a triggering event to accelerate our annual impairment analysis and no impairment charges for goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets were recorded during the three and nine months ended September 26, 2020.

We will perform our annual impairment testing of goodwill (and indefinite-lived intangible assets that are not amortized), during the fourth quarter of 2020 in conjunction with our annual financial planning process. In performing that annual impairment testing, we will assess, among other items, the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, order trends and the operating cash flow performance of our reporting units.

As discussed in Note 1, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the POSI LOCK acquisition are recorded at their estimated fair values using preliminary valuations and management estimates and are subject to change when such valuations and estimates are finalized.

No intangible asset impairment charges were recorded during the nine months ended September 26, 2020 or September 28, 2019. Other changes in the gross carrying values of trademarks and other identifiable intangible assets during the nine months ended September 26, 2020 related to foreign currency translation.

Tangible Long-Lived Asset Impairment Charges

As discussed in Note 4, asset impairment charges of $0.5 during the three months ended September 26, 2020 resulted from further management evaluation of certain assets during the third quarter which were impacted by management’s decision during the second quarter of 2020 to consolidate and relocate the operations of a U.S. manufacturing facility within the Industrial reportable segment to existing facilities in the U.S. as well as in our EMEA and APAC regions. Such charges related to the real property and, to a lesser extent, certain machinery and equipment, of the facility. Charges for the nine months ended September 26, 2020 include these charges, $0.8 of charges recorded during the second quarter related to this action and asset impairment charges of $1.9 which resulted from management’s decision during the first quarter of 2020 to discontinue a product line within the Industrial reportable segment. Such charges related to certain machinery and equipment of the segment.

(2)Primarily includes finance lease obligations of $0.5 and $0.6 and balances under a purchase card program of $8.8 and $20.4 as of September 26, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The purchase card program allows for payment beyond customary payment terms for goods and services acquired under the program. As this arrangement extends the payment of these purchases beyond their normal payment terms through third-party lending institutions, we have classified these amounts as short-term debt.

(3)Deferred financing fees were comprised of fees related to the term loan and senior notes.

A detailed description of our senior credit facilities and senior notes is included in our consolidated financial statements included in our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The interest rate of outstanding borrowings under our Term Loan, due June 2022, was approximately 1.5% and 3.1% at September 26, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

At September 26, 2020, we had $494.3 of borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facilities after giving effect to $5.7 reserved for outstanding letters of credit. In addition, at September 26, 2020, we had $93.4 of available issuance capacity under our foreign credit instrument facilities after giving effect to $56.6 reserved for outstanding bank guarantees. In addition, we had $5.2 of bank guarantees outstanding under the senior credit facilities that, once satisfied, cannot be reissued.

At September 26, 2020, in addition to the revolving lines of credit described above, we had approximately $11.5 of letters of credit outstanding under separate arrangements in China and India.

At September 26, 2020, we were in compliance with all covenants of our senior credit facilities and senior notes.

(12) DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

We manufacture and sell our products in a number of countries and, as a result, are exposed to movements in foreign currency (“FX”) exchange rates. Our objective is to preserve the economic value of non-functional currency-denominated cash flows and to minimize the impact of changes as a result of currency fluctuations. Our principal currency exposures relate to the Euro, Chinese Yuan and British Pound.

We had FX forward contracts with an aggregate notional amount of $35.9 and $83.3 outstanding as of September 26, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, with all such contracts scheduled to mature within one year. We also had FX embedded derivatives with an aggregate notional amount of $5.1 and $0.9 at September 26, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, with all such contracts scheduled to mature within one year. There were unrealized losses of $0.0 and $0.2, net of taxes, recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss related to FX forward contracts as of September 26, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The net losses recorded in “Other income (expense), net” related to FX losses totaled $0.4 and $0.3 for the three months ended September 26, 2020 and September 28, 2019, respectively, and $2.2 and $0.9 for the nine months then ended.

We enter into arrangements designed to provide the right of setoff in the event of counterparty default or insolvency, and have elected to offset the fair values of our FX forward contracts in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The gross fair values of our FX forward contracts and FX embedded derivatives, in aggregate, were $0.1 and $0.3 (gross assets) and $0.0 and $0.0 (gross liabilities) at September 26, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

(13) EQUITY AND STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Income (Loss) Per Share

The following table sets forth the number of weighted-average shares outstanding used in the computation of basic and diluted income (loss) per share:


	Three months ended		Nine months ended
	September 26, 2020	September 28, 2019	September 26, 2020	September 28, 2019
Weighted-average shares outstanding, basic	42.127	42.434	42.425	42.418
Dilutive effect of share-based awards	0.323	0.263	0.215	0.212
Weighted-average shares outstanding, dilutive(1)	42.450	42.697	42.640	42.630

(1)Unvested restricted stock shares/units not included in the computation of diluted income per share because required market thresholds for vesting (as discussed below) were not met, were 0.094 and 0.063 for the three months ended September 26, 2020 and September 28, 2019, respectively, and 0.102 and 0.133 for the nine months then ended, respectively. Unvested restricted stock shares/units not included

in the computation of diluted income per share because required internal performance thresholds for vesting (as discussed below) were not met, were 0.207 and 0.118 for the three months ended September 26, 2020 and September 28, 2019, respectively, and 0.196 and 0.247 for the nine months then ended, respectively. Stock options outstanding excluded from the computation of diluted income per share because their exercise price was greater than the average market price of common shares, were 0.342 for the three and nine months ended September 26, 2020 and September 28, 2019.

Stock-Based Compensation

SPX FLOW stock-based compensation awards may be granted to certain eligible employees or non-employee directors under the SPX FLOW Stock Compensation Plan (the “Stock Plan”). Under the Stock Plan, up to 2.123 unissued shares of our common stock were available for future grant as of September 26, 2020. The Stock Plan permits the issuance of authorized but unissued shares or shares from treasury upon the vesting of restricted stock units, granting of restricted stock shares or exercise of stock options. Each restricted stock share, restricted stock unit and stock option granted reduces share availability under the Stock Plan by one share.

Restricted stock shares or restricted stock units may be granted to certain eligible employees or non-employee directors in accordance with the Stock Plan and applicable award agreements. Subject to participants' continued service and other award terms and conditions, the restrictions lapse and awards generally vest over a period of time, generally three years (or one year for awards to non-employee directors). In some instances, such as death, disability, or retirement, awards may vest concurrently with or following an employee's termination. Approximately half of such restricted stock shares and restricted stock unit awards vest based on performance thresholds, while the remaining portion vest based on the passage of time since grant date.

Eligible employees, including officers, were granted 2020 target performance awards, primarily during the three months ended March 28, 2020, in which the employee can earn between 50% and 200% of the target performance award in the event, and to the extent, the award meets the required performance vesting criteria. Such awards are generally subject to the employees’ continued employment during the three-year vesting period, and may be completely forfeited if the threshold performance criteria are not met. Vesting for the 2020 target performance awards is based on SPX FLOW shareholder return versus the performance of a composite group of companies, as established under the awards (the “Composite Group”), over the three-year period from January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2022. In addition, certain eligible employees, including officers, were granted 2020 target performance awards primarily during the three months ended March 28, 2020 that vest subject to attainment of stated improvements in a three-year average annual return on invested capital (as defined under the awards) measured at the conclusion of the measurement period ending December 31, 2022 (including eligible employees’ continued employment during the measurement period). These target performance awards were issued as restricted stock units to eligible employees, including officers. In the event of vesting, the 2020 target performance awards generally restrict the recipient from selling, transferring, pledging or assigning the underlying shares for a one-year period, ending December 31, 2023.

Eligible employees, including officers, also were granted 2020 awards, primarily during the three months ended March 28, 2020, that vest ratably over three years, subject to the passage of time and the employees’ continued employment during such period. In some instances, such as death, disability, or retirement, awards may vest concurrently with or following an employee's termination. These awards were issued as restricted stock units to eligible employees, including officers.

Non-employee directors received restricted stock awards in the three months ended June 27, 2020 that vest at the close of business on the day before the date of the Company’s next regular annual meeting of shareholders held after the date of the grant, subject to the passage of time and the directors’ continued service during such period.

In accordance with terms of the Sale Agreement entered into with the Buyer, all awards granted to SPX FLOW employees who became employees of the Buyer upon closing of the Transaction on March 30, 2020, and that vest subject to the passage of time and the employees’ continued employment that would have otherwise vested within the twelve-month period following the closing date of the Transaction, vested as of March 30, 2020. Target performance awards granted in 2017 that vest subject to (i) SPX FLOW shareholder return versus the Composite Group or (ii) attainment of stated improvements in the three-year average annual return on invested capital, vested according to the terms of the underlying award agreements (including continued employment during the measurement period). All other outstanding share-based awards to SPX FLOW employees who became employees of the Buyer that did not vest under these conditions, were forfeited as of March 30, 2020.

SPX FLOW, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

(Unaudited; in millions, except per share data)

Restricted stock unit awards granted to eligible employees, including officers, primarily during the three months ended March 28, 2020, include early retirement provisions which permit recipients to be eligible for vesting generally upon reaching the age of 60 and completing ten years of service (and, if applicable, subject to the attainment of performance measures).

Restricted stock units that do not vest within the applicable vesting period are forfeited.

Stock options may be granted to eligible employees in the form of incentive stock options or nonqualified stock options. The option price per share may be no less than the fair market value of our common stock at the close of business on the date of grant. Upon exercise, the employee has the option to surrender previously owned shares at current value in payment of the exercise price and/or for withholding tax obligations.

The recognition of compensation expense for share-based awards is based on their grant-date fair values. The fair value of each award is amortized over the lesser of the award's requisite or derived service period, which is generally up to three years as noted above. For the three and nine months ended September 26, 2020 and September 28, 2019, we recognized compensation expense related to share-based programs in “Selling, general and administrative” expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations as follows:


	Three months ended				Nine months ended
	September 26, 2020		September 28, 2019		September 26, 2020		September 28, 2019
Stock-based compensation expense - continuing and discontinued operations	$	3.6	$	3.4	11.4		10.2
Less: stock-based compensation expense recognized in discontinued operations	—		0.2		0.8		0.8
Stock-based compensation expense recognized in continuing operations	3.6		3.2		10.6		9.4
Income tax benefit	(0.8)		(0.8)		(2.4)		(2.2)
Stock-based compensation expense, net of income tax benefit	$	2.8	$	2.4	$	8.2	$	7.2

Restricted Stock Unit Awards

The Monte Carlo simulation model valuation technique was used to determine the fair value of our 2020 restricted stock units that contain a “market condition.” The Monte Carlo simulation model utilizes multiple input variables that determine the probability of satisfying the market condition stipulated in the award and calculates the fair value of each restricted stock unit award. The valuation of such 2020 awards also reflects an illiquidity discount of 14.6%, determined utilizing the Chafee model valuation technique, and related to the one-year period that recipients are restricted from selling, transferring, pledging or assigning the underlying shares, in the event of vesting and as discussed above.

The following table summarizes the unvested restricted stock share and restricted stock unit activity for the nine months ended September 26, 2020:


	Unvested Restricted Stock Shares and Restricted Stock Units	Weighted-Average Grant-Date Fair Value Per Share
Outstanding at December 31, 2019	0.999	$38.24
Granted	0.493	35.06
Vested	(0.443)	37.19
Forfeited and other	(0.060)	39.69
Outstanding at September 26, 2020	0.989	$37.04

As of September 26, 2020, there was $21.6 of unrecognized compensation cost related to restricted stock share and restricted stock unit compensation arrangements. We expect this cost to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.9 years.

Stock Options

There were 0.342 of SPX FLOW stock options outstanding as of September 26, 2020 and December 31, 2019, all of which were exercisable as of September 26, 2020. The weighted-average exercise price per share of the stock options is

SPX FLOW, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

(Unaudited; in millions, except per share data)

$61.29 and the weighted-average grant-date fair value per share is $19.33. The term of these options expires on January 2, 2025 (subject to earlier expiration upon a recipient's termination of service as provided under the awards). There was no unrecognized compensation cost related to these stock options as of September 26, 2020.

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss

Substantially all of accumulated other comprehensive loss (“AOCL”) as of September 26, 2020 and December 31, 2019 was foreign currency translation adjustment (there were unrealized losses of $0.0 and $0.2, net of taxes, recorded in AOCL related to FX forward contracts as of September 26, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, as discussed in Note 12). See the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) for changes in AOCL for the three and nine months ended September 26, 2020 and September 28, 2019, and Note 3 for further discussion regarding amounts reclassified out of AOCL during the nine months ended September 26, 2020 in connection with the disposition of the Disposal Group.

Common Stock in Treasury

During the nine months ended September 26, 2020 and September 28, 2019, “Common stock in treasury” was increased by $6.9 and $5.4, respectively, for common stock that was surrendered by recipients of restricted stock as a means of funding the related applicable income tax withholding requirements.

For the three and nine months ended September 26, 2020, we repurchased 0.255 and 0.450 shares of our common stock for cash consideration of $10.7 and $16.9, respectively, in accordance with a share repurchase program authorized by our Board of Directors for the purchase of up to $150.0 shares of our common stock on or before December 31, 2021.

(14) LITIGATION, CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND OTHER MATTERS

Various claims, complaints and proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, including those relating to litigation matters (e.g., class actions, derivative lawsuits and contracts, intellectual property and competitive claims, and claims to certain indemnification obligations arising from previous acquisitions/dispositions), have been filed or are pending against us and certain of our subsidiaries. We believe these matters are either without merit or of a kind that should not have a material effect, individually or in the aggregate, on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

We are subject to domestic and international environmental protection laws and regulations with respect to our business operations and are operating in compliance with, or taking action aimed at ensuring compliance with, these laws and regulations. We believe our compliance obligations with environmental protection laws and regulations should not have a material effect, individually or in the aggregate, on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Mezzanine Equity

Independent noncontrolling shareholders in certain foreign subsidiaries of the Company have put options under their respective joint venture operating agreements that allow them to sell their common stock to the controlling shareholders (wholly-owned subsidiaries of SPX FLOW) upon the satisfaction of certain conditions, including the passage of time. The respective carrying values presented in “Mezzanine equity” of our condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 26, 2020 and December 31, 2019 are stated at the current exercise value of the put options, irrespective of whether the options are currently exercisable. To the extent the noncontrolling interests' put option price is correlated with the estimated fair value of the subsidiary, we have used the market method to estimate such fair values. This represents a Level 3 fair value measurement as described in Note 16.

During the first quarter of 2020, the noncontrolling interest shareholder of a joint venture exercised certain put options and, during the third quarter of 2020, the Company and such shareholder reached an agreement for the Company to purchase all noncontrolling interest shares in that joint venture at an agreed-upon price. In accordance with the agreement, we paid $8.2 during the three and nine months ended September 26, 2020 to purchase a portion of such shares. In connection with the share purchase of $8.2, we reduced “Noncontrolling interests” by $4.3 to reflect the reduction in the noncontrolling shareholder’s cumulative carrying value of ownership interest in the joint venture during the third quarter, with the remainder of the purchase price paid reflected as a reduction of “Paid-in capital”. In addition, as a result of the third quarter share purchase, we reflected the settlement of the related portion of the put options during the quarter as a reduction of “Mezzanine equity” of $8.2, with an increase of “Paid-in capital”.

SPX FLOW, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

(Unaudited; in millions, except per share data)

Of the $9.4 balance reflected in “Mezzanine equity” as of September 26, 2020, $6.5 represents the agreed-upon purchase price to be paid by the Company to the noncontrolling interest shareholder during the fourth quarter of 2020 for the remainder of his shares, subject to certain conditions being met by the noncontrolling interest shareholder through the agreed-upon purchase date. The carrying value of other put options which comprise “Mezzanine equity” as of September 26, 2020 is recorded based on our best estimate of the ultimate redemption value of those put options.

(15) INCOME TAXES

Unrecognized Tax Benefits

As of September 26, 2020, we had gross unrecognized tax benefits of $16.2 (net unrecognized tax benefits of $15.2), of which $10.1, if recognized, would impact our effective tax rate from continuing operations.

We classify interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of our income tax provision. As of September 26, 2020, gross accrued interest totaled $0.8 (net accrued interest of $0.7), and there was no accrual for penalties included in our unrecognized tax benefits.

Based on the outcome of certain examinations or as a result of the expiration of statutes of limitations for certain jurisdictions, we believe that within the next 12 months it is reasonably possible that our previously unrecognized tax benefits could decrease by $0.5 to $1.5. The previously unrecognized tax benefits relate to transfer pricing matters.

The unrecognized tax benefits described above represent amounts that were included in tax returns filed by the Company. Historically, a portion of the Company's operations were included in tax returns filed by SPX Corporation (the “former Parent”) or its subsidiaries that were not part of our spin-off from the former Parent effected on September 26, 2015 (the “Spin-Off”). As a result, some uncertain tax positions related to the Company's operations resulted in unrecognized tax benefits that are now potential obligations of the former Parent or its subsidiaries that were part of the Spin-Off. In addition, some of the Company's tax returns included the operations of the former Parent's subsidiaries that were not part of the Spin-Off. In certain of these cases, these subsidiaries' activities gave rise to unrecognized tax benefits for which the Company could be potentially liable. When required under the Income Taxes Topic of the Codification, we have recorded a liability for these uncertain tax positions within our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Other Tax Matters

During the three months ended September 26, 2020, we recorded an income tax provision of $0.7 on $17.4 of pre-tax income, resulting in an effective tax rate of 4.0%. This compares to an income tax provision for the three months ended September 28, 2019 of $2.5 on $19.6 of pre-tax income, resulting in an effective tax rate of 12.8%. The effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2020 was impacted by income tax benefits of (i) $2.5 resulting from the benefit of the reduction to the forecasted annual effective tax rate in the third quarter of 2020 applied to income from the first half of 2020, (ii) $1.6 related to the timing of the pretax results in certain jurisdictions where the tax expense is not expected to be realized due to the loss carryforward position, and (iii) $1.3 resulting from adjustments to the U.S. tax liability for prior years.

The effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2019 was impacted by benefits of (i) $2.4 resulting from the cumulative impact of a reduction to global intangible low-taxed income ("GILTI") amount included in our annual effective tax rate computation and (ii) $1.5 resulting from income occurring in the quarter in certain jurisdictions with year to date losses where the tax benefit of those losses is not expected to be realized, which were partially offset by a charge of $1.0 resulting from a change to the indefinite reinvestment assertion on the earnings of a certain subsidiary.

SPX FLOW, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

(Unaudited; in millions, except per share data)

The effective tax rate for the first nine months of 2019 was impacted by charges of (i) $5.5 resulting from losses occurring in certain jurisdictions where the tax benefit of those losses is not expected to be realized, (ii) $5.1 resulting from the addition of a valuation allowance for certain subsidiaries for which the benefit of previously incurred losses is not expected to be realized and (iii) $1.0 resulting from a change to the indefinite reinvestment assertion on the earnings of a certain subsidiary, which were partially offset by benefits of (i) $2.0 resulting from an outside basis difference from continuing operations that has been realized through the disposition of held-for-sale assets, (ii) $1.7 resulting from adjustments related to the German tax returns filed by certain of the Company’s subsidiaries and (iii) $1.0 resulting from the impact of a tax incentive received by one of the Company’s Chinese subsidiaries related to its 2018 tax return.

We review our income tax positions on a continuous basis and record unrecognized tax benefits for potential uncertain positions when we determine that an uncertain position meets the criteria of the Income Taxes Topic of the Codification. As events change and resolutions occur, adjustments are made to amounts previously provided, such as in the case of audit settlements with taxing authorities.

In connection with the Spin-Off, we and the former Parent entered into a Tax Matters Agreement which, among other matters, addresses the allocation of certain tax adjustments that might arise upon examination of the 2013, 2014 and the pre-Spin-Off portion of the 2015 federal income tax returns of the former Parent. Of these returns, the 2014 and pre-Spin-Off portion of the 2015 federal income tax returns are currently under audit, and we believe any contingencies have been adequately provided for.

We have various non-U.S. income tax returns under examination. The most significant of these are (1) an examination in Germany for the 2010 through 2014 tax years and (2) an examination in China for the 2019 tax year. We expect both of these examinations will conclude in 2020. We believe that any uncertain tax positions related to these examinations have been appropriately reflected as unrecognized tax benefits.

As discussed in Note 3, the Sale Agreement with the Buyer of the Company’s Disposal Group includes certain indemnification obligations which we believe are customary for transactions of this nature, including for certain tax obligations, to the extent such obligations relate to fiscal periods prior to the closing date and exceed amounts which are provided for in the balance sheet of the Disposal Group at closing.

An unfavorable resolution of one or more of the above matters could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or cash flows in the quarter and year in which an adjustment is recorded or the tax is due or paid. As audits and examinations are still in process or we have not yet reached the final stages of the appeals process, the timing of the ultimate resolution and any payments that may be required for the above matters cannot be determined at this time.

During the third quarter of 2020, the Department of Treasury issued several final regulations related to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, including those related to the Section 250 deduction, GILTI and the Section 163(j) interest limitation. We continue to evaluate the impact of these regulations on our income tax balances; however, we do not expect these regulations to have a material impact on our current year income tax balances.

(16) FAIR VALUE

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In the absence of active markets for the identical assets or liabilities, such measurements involve developing assumptions based on market observable data and, in the absence of such data, internal information consistent with what market participants would use in a hypothetical transaction that occurs at the measurement date. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect our market assumptions. Preference is given to observable inputs. These two types of inputs create the following fair value hierarchy:

•Level 1 — Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

•Level 2 — Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.

•Level 3 — Significant inputs to the valuation model are unobservable.

SPX FLOW, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

(Unaudited; in millions, except per share data)

There were no changes during the periods presented to the valuation techniques we use to measure asset and liability fair values on a recurring basis. There were no transfers between the three levels of the fair value hierarchy during the periods presented.

The following section describes the valuation methodologies we use to measure different financial instruments at fair value on a recurring basis.

Derivative Financial Instruments

Our derivative financial assets and liabilities include FX forward contracts and FX embedded derivatives, valued using valuation models based on observable market inputs such as forward rates, interest rates, our own credit risk and the credit risk of our counterparties, which comprise investment-grade financial institutions. Based on these inputs, the derivative assets and liabilities are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. We have not made any adjustments to the inputs obtained from the independent sources. Based on our continued ability to enter into forward contracts, we consider the markets for our fair value instruments active. We primarily use the income approach, which uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single present amount.

As of September 26, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the gross fair values of our derivative financial assets and liabilities, in aggregate, were $0.1 and $0.3 (gross assets) and $0.0 and $0.0 (gross liabilities), respectively. As of September 26, 2020, there had been no significant impact to the fair value of our derivative liabilities due to our own credit risk as the related instruments are collateralized under our senior credit facilities. Similarly, there had been no significant impact to the fair value of our derivative assets based on our evaluation of our counterparties’ credit risks.

Equity Security Investment

The estimated fair value of our investment in an equity security, utilizing a practical expedient under relevant accounting guidance, is based on our ownership percentage, applied to the equity security’s most recently determined net asset value. During the three and nine months ended September 26, 2020, we recorded a gain of $2.1 and $7.4, respectively, to “Other income (expense), net” in our accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations to reflect an increase in the estimated fair value of the equity security. As of September 26, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the equity security had an estimated fair value of $29.2 and $21.8, respectively. We are restricted from transferring this investment without approval of the manager of the investee.

The COVID-19 pandemic has recently had an adverse impact on the global financial markets. A prolonged adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic could result in a decline in the equity security’s estimated fair value and, thus, a resulting charge to earnings in a future period.

During the three and nine months ended September 28, 2019, we recorded gains of $0.0 and $7.8, respectively, to “Other income (expense), net” to reflect an increase in the estimated fair value of the equity security. In addition, during the nine months ended September 28, 2019, we received a distribution of $2.6, which is included within “Cash flows from operating activities” in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

Mezzanine Equity

To the extent the noncontrolling interests' put option price is correlated with the estimated fair value of the subsidiary, we use the market method to estimate the fair values of noncontrolling interest put options reported in “Mezzanine equity” using unobservable inputs (Level 3) on a recurring basis. Changes to the noncontrolling interest put option values are reflected as adjustments to “Mezzanine equity” and “Paid-In Capital.” Refer to Note 14 for further discussion.

Goodwill, Indefinite-Lived Intangible and Other Long-Lived Assets

Certain of our non-financial assets are subject to impairment analysis, including long-lived assets, indefinite-lived intangible assets and goodwill. We review the carrying amounts of such assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable or at least annually for indefinite-lived intangible assets and goodwill. Any resulting impairment would require that the asset be recorded at its fair value.

During the nine months ended September 26, 2020, the Company recorded a pre-tax loss of $12.1 to reduce the carrying value of the net assets of its Disposal Group, including relevant foreign currency translation adjustment balances, to the net proceeds to be realized upon finalization of the purchase price with the Buyer (see Note 3 for further details regarding

SPX FLOW, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

(Unaudited; in millions, except per share data)

the Sale Agreement). As the loss on Disposal Group was determined not to be attributable to any individual components of the Company’s net assets of discontinued operations, the aggregate loss has been reflected as a valuation allowance against the total assets of the Disposal Group as of September 26, 2020.

The fair value of the Company’s Disposal Group reflects terms of the Sale Agreement with the Buyer as noted above and, as such, has been valued using unobservable inputs (Level 3). At September 26, 2020, no other significant non-financial assets or liabilities of the Company were required to be measured at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis. See Note 3 for further information regarding the loss on Disposal Group and the associated valuation allowance, and Note 9 for further information regarding goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, and the Company’s consideration of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on its evaluation of the carrying values of such long-lived assets as of September 26, 2020.

Acquisition

For the POSI-LOCK acquisition, closed during the third quarter of 2020, the purchase price of $10.0 has been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on management’s preliminary estimates of their fair values as of the acquisition date. The excess of the purchase price over the aggregate fair values was recorded as "Goodwill" in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 26, 2020. The estimates of fair values are preliminary valuations and management estimates and are subject to change when such valuations and estimates are finalized.

Indebtedness and Other

The estimated fair values of other financial liabilities (excluding finance leases and deferred financing fees) not measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 26, 2020 and December 31, 2019 were as follows:


	September 26, 2020				December 31, 2019
	Carrying Amount		Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Fair Value

Term loan(1)	$	100.0	$	100.0	$	100.0	$	100.0

5.625% senior notes(1)	—		—		300.0		312.0
5.875% senior notes(1)	300.0		311.3		300.0		316.5

Other indebtedness	8.9		8.9		20.7		20.7

(1)Carrying amount reflected herein excludes related deferred financing fees. Refer to Note 11 for further information regarding redemption of our 5.625% senior notes during the third quarter of 2020.

The following methods and assumptions were used in estimating the fair value of these financial instruments:

•The fair values of the senior notes were determined using Level 2 inputs within the fair value hierarchy and were based on quoted market prices for the same or similar instruments or on current rates offered to us for debt with similar maturities, subordination and credit default expectations.

•The fair value of amounts outstanding under our term loan approximated carrying value due primarily to the variable-rate nature and credit spread of this instrument, when compared to other similar instruments.

•The fair values of other indebtedness approximated carrying value due primarily to the short-term nature of these instruments.

The carrying amounts of cash and equivalents, receivables and contract assets reported in our condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 26, 2020 and December 31, 2019 approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of those instruments.

ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (in millions, unless otherwise noted)

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Some of the statements in this document and any documents incorporated by reference, including any statements as to operational and financial projections, constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). These statements relate to future events or our future financial performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our businesses’ or our industries’ actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from those expressed or implied by any forward-looking statements.

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW

Discontinued Operations

On May 2, 2019, SPX FLOW, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (“SPX FLOW,” “the Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) announced that its Board of Directors had initiated a process to divest a substantial portion of the Company’s former Power and Energy reportable segment, excluding the Bran+Luebbe product line (the "Disposal Group"). In connection with this initiative, the Company narrowed its strategic focus by separating its process solutions technologies, comprised of its Food and Beverage and its Industrial reportable segments, and including the Bran+Luebbe product line within its former Power and Energy segment, from its flow control application technologies, comprised of the Disposal Group. Given the specific capabilities that are unique to each category of technologies and businesses, the further intent of the Company was that each business would, through a process of divestiture and separation, be positioned to further maximize its respective service to customers through the narrowing of such strategic focus.

In November 2019, we entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Sale Agreement”) with an affiliate of Apollo Global Management, LLC (the “Buyer”), pursuant to which the Company agreed, indirectly through certain of its subsidiaries, to sell the Disposal Group to the Buyer for a gross purchase price of $475 (the “Transaction”). On March 30, 2020, the Company completed the sale of substantially all such businesses and received proceeds, net of cash and restricted cash disposed, from the Buyer of $398.9, based on an estimate of certain adjustments to the gross purchase price as of the closing date and, to a lesser extent, certain fees. The consummation of the sale to the Buyer of a remaining business reflected as “Assets of Discontinued Operations” and “Liabilities of Discontinued Operations” in our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 26, 2020 and based in India, with an expected gross purchase price of $6.4, remains subject to local regulatory approvals but is expected to close before the end of 2020. The majority of the “Assets of Discontinued Operations” and “Liabilities of Discontinued Operations”, as well as cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment of $178.2 (previously included in the Company’s “Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss” balance) and “Noncontrolling Interests” of $1.2, which were removed from our condensed consolidated balance sheet during the second quarter of 2020, equaled the net proceeds received upon consummation of the Transaction.

Unless otherwise indicated, amounts provided in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” below pertain to continuing operations.

Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic

As further discussed below, the COVID-19 pandemic had an adverse impact on our consolidated financial results for the three and nine months ended September 26, 2020. These adverse impacts are expected to continue in the fourth quarter of 2020, and possibly longer, but we are unable to determine the extent, duration, or nature at this time. Although certain of our product lines (e.g., shorter-cycle product lines within our Industrial reportable segment) have been impacted more than others in our portfolio, we believe that our diverse set of products, along with our strong balance sheet position and available liquidity, position us well to mitigate further potential adverse impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. For example, because we serve customers which produce food, beverages, personal care items, cleaning products, pharmaceuticals, and specialty chemicals, and serve critical infrastructure and industrial enablement functions, a majority, but not all, of our products, services and operations have been classified as “essential” under various governmental orders restricting business activities implemented in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. While we have temporarily closed certain of our offices and engineering, service and manufacturing centers over the past several months, and may be required to close additional facilities in the future in response to governmental orders, other COVID-19 pandemic safety-related concerns or in response to market conditions affected by COVID-19, our manufacturing facilities have not experienced significant interruptions in operations to date.

In terms of liquidity, as of September 26, 2020, we had over $350 of cash and equivalents on hand and, as discussed in Note 11 to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, approximately $490 of borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facilities. As noted above, we received net proceeds of approximately $399 from the sale of our discontinued operations during our second quarter of 2020. On August 15, 2020 we redeemed our $300.0 aggregate principal amount 5.625% senior notes, as discussed further in Note 11 to our condensed consolidated financial statements, and there are no debt repayments due under other primary debt obligations until June 2022. We also have taken actions to manage near-term costs and cash flows, including reducing discretionary spending, and will continue to assess the actual and expected impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and any requirements for further actions.

Summary of Operating Results

Non-GAAP Measures - Throughout the following segment discussion, we use organic revenue growth (decline) to facilitate explanation of the operating performance of our segments. Organic revenue growth (decline) is a non-GAAP financial measure, and is not a substitute for net revenue growth (decline). Refer to the explanation of this measure and purpose of use by management under “Results of Continuing Operations-Non-GAAP Measures.”

The financial information discussed below and included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may not necessarily reflect what our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows may be in the future.

The following summary is intended to provide certain highlights of the discussion and analysis that follows (all comparisons are to the related period in the prior year):

Revenues — For the three and nine months ended September 26, 2020, revenues decreased $26.6 (6.9%) and $187.8 (16.4%), respectively. The decreases in revenue were due primarily to decreases in organic revenue. The decreases in organic revenue were due primarily to (i) a lower level of revenue from Food and Beverage systems projects, including large dry-dairy projects, and (ii) broad-based weakness across most Industrial segment product lines, attributable primarily to reduced demand due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Income before Income Taxes — Income before income taxes decreased $2.2 (11.2%) and $41.1 (60.4%) in the three and nine months ended September 26, 2020, respectively. The decrease in pre-tax income for the three months ended September 26, 2020, compared to the respective 2019 period, included primarily the effects of the recognition of a loss on the early extinguishment of our senior notes due August 2024 during the third quarter of 2020 and, to a lesser extent, a reduction in segment income, partially offset by the effects of a reduction in asset impairment charges (as the third quarter of 2019 included a charge related to the marketing of a corporate asset for sale) and an increase in other income.

The decrease in pre-tax income for the nine months ended September 26, 2020, compared to the respective 2019 period, included primarily the effects of a reduction in segment income, resulting from the lower levels of organic revenue discussed above, the recognition of a loss on the early extinguishment of our senior notes due August 2024 during the third quarter of 2020 as noted above, and an increase in corporate expense, partially offset by the effect of the reduction in asset impairment charges as noted above.

Cash Flows from Operations — For the nine months ended September 26, 2020, cash flows from operations decreased to $31.6 from $52.3 primarily as a result of reduced cash flows from lower segment income, and an increased investment in inventories, due partially to delayed shipments resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The unaudited information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with our annual consolidated financial statements included in our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. We establish actual interim closing dates using a fiscal calendar, which requires our businesses to close their books on the Saturday closest to the end of the first calendar quarter, with the second and third quarters being 91 days in length. Our fourth quarter ends on December 31. The interim closing dates for the first, second and third quarters of 2020 were March 28, June 27, and September 26, compared to the respective March 30, June 29, and September 28, 2019 dates. We had one less day in the first quarter of 2020 and will have two more days in the fourth quarter of 2020 than in the respective 2019 periods.

Cyclicality of End Markets, Seasonality and Competition - The financial results of many of our businesses closely follow changes in the industries and end markets they serve.

In our Food and Beverage reportable segment, system revenues are highly correlated to timing on capital projects, which may cause significant fluctuations in our financial performance from period to period. Fluctuations in dairy commodity prices and production of dairy related products, particularly those aimed at serving the China market, can influence the timing of capital spending by many end customers in our Food and Beverage reportable segment.

Although our businesses operate in highly competitive markets, our competitive position cannot be determined accurately in the aggregate or by segment since our competitors do not offer all the same product lines or serve all the same markets. In addition, specific reliable comparative figures are not available for many of our competitors. In most product groups, competition comes from numerous concerns, both large and small. The principal methods of competition are service, product performance, technical innovation and price. These methods vary with the type of product sold. We believe we compete effectively on the basis of each of these factors. See “Executive Overview - Our Business” for a discussion of our competitors.

Non-GAAP Measures - Organic revenue growth (decline) presented herein is defined as revenue growth (decline) excluding the effects of foreign currency fluctuations and a business acquisition which occured in the third quarter of 2020. We believe this metric is a useful financial measure for investors in evaluating our operating performance for the periods presented as, when read in conjunction with our revenues, it presents a tool to evaluate our ongoing operations and provides investors with a metric they can use to evaluate our management of assets held from period to period. In addition, organic revenue growth (decline) is one of the factors we use in internal evaluations of the overall performance of our business. This metric, however, is not a measure of financial performance under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), should not be considered a substitute for net revenue growth (decline) as determined in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

The following table provides selected financial information for the three and nine months ended September 26, 2020 and September 28, 2019, respectively, including the reconciliation of organic revenue decline to net revenue decline:

Revenues - For the three months ended September 26, 2020, the decrease in revenues, compared to the respective 2019 period, was primarily due to a decrease in organic revenue, partially offset by, to a lesser extent, a weakening of the U.S. dollar during the period against various foreign currencies. The decrease in organic revenue was due to (i) a lower level of systems revenue, as well as lower components and aftermarket revenues, in our Food and Beverage segment and (ii) reduced demand and shipments across the majority of our short-cycle Industrial segment product lines and end markets, primarily associated with global macroeconomic conditions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.

For the nine months ended September 26, 2020, the decrease in revenues, compared to the respective 2019 period, was primarily due to a decrease in organic revenue and, to a lesser extent, a strengthening of the U.S. dollar during the period against various foreign currencies. The decrease in organic revenue was due to the reasons noted above, as well as (i) a lower level of large dry-dairy systems revenue, as anticipated, in our Food and Beverage segment and (ii) the impact on Industrial segment revenues resulting from a lower opening shippable backlog in the 2020 period than in the 2019 period.

See “Results of Reportable Segments” for additional details.

Gross Profit - The decrease in gross profit for the three and nine months ended September 26, 2020, compared to the respective 2019 periods, was due primarily to the decrease in organic revenue discussed above. The increase in margin percentage for the three and nine months ended September 26, 2020, compared to the respective 2019 periods, was primarily

due to strong operational and project execution on an improved mix of revenue, savings from cost reduction actions and net price benefits.

See “Results of Reportable Segments” for additional details.

Selling, General and Administrative (“SG&A”) Expense - For the three and nine months ended September 26, 2020, the decrease in SG&A expense, compared to the respective 2019 periods, was due primarily to lower variable selling costs, resulting from the decline in organic revenue volumes discussed above, as well as savings from cost reduction actions and reductions in discretionary spending. Such reductions in SG&A expense were partially offset by an increase in variable incentive compensation and costs associated with merger and acquisition-related activities.

Asset Impairment Charges - Charges for the three months ended September 26, 2020 resulted from further management evaluation of certain assets during the third quarter which were impacted by management’s decision during the second quarter of 2020 to consolidate and relocate the operations of a U.S. manufacturing facility within the Industrial segment to existing facilities in the U.S. as well as in our EMEA and APAC regions. Charges for the nine months ended September 26, 2020 included these charges, $0.8 of charges recorded during the second quarter related to this action and asset impairment charges of $1.9 which resulted from management’s decision, during the first quarter of 2020, to discontinue a product line within the Industrial segment.

Asset impairment charges of $10.8, for the three and nine months ended September 28, 2019, resulted from management’s decision to market a corporate asset for sale.

Restructuring and Other Related Charges - Charges for the three months ended September 26, 2020 related primarily to severance and other costs associated with reductions in force of certain engineering employees based in the U.S. and our EMEA region and certain operations personnel based in EMEA, and with the rationalization and outsourcing of certain corporate support functions.

Charges for the nine months ended September 26, 2020 included these charges as well as severance and other costs associated primarily with a reduction in force of certain commercial employees based in our EMEA region, the consolidation and relocation of the operations of a U.S. manufacturing facility to existing facilities in the U.S. as well as in our EMEA and APAC regions and, more broadly, reductions in force of certain engineering, commercial and other functional support employees within our segments, across all regions in which the segments operate.

See Note 7 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for further details of actions taken during the three and nine months ended September 26, 2020 and September 28, 2019.

Other Income (Expense), net - Other income, net, for the three months ended September 26, 2020 was composed of investment-related gains of $2.1, income from a transition services agreement entered into in connection with the sale of our former Power and Energy segment (the “TSA”) of $1.3, and net gains on asset sales and other of $1.3, partially offset by foreign currency (“FX”) losses of $0.4 and non-service-related pension and postretirement costs of $0.1. The investment-related gains related to an increase in the net asset value of our investment in an equity security (see Note 16 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional details). See Note 3 for additional details regarding the TSA.

Other expense, net, for the three months ended September 28, 2019 was composed of FX losses of $0.3 and non-service-related pension and postretirement costs of $0.2, partially offset by net gains on asset sales and other of $0.2.

Other income, net, for the nine months ended September 26, 2020 was composed of investment-related gains of $7.4, income from the TSA of $2.8 and net gains on asset sales and other of $0.9, partially offset by FX losses of $2.2 and non-service-related pension and postretirement costs of $0.4.

Other income, net, for the nine months ended September 28, 2019 was composed of investment-related gains of $7.8 and net gains on asset sales and other of $0.4, partially offset by non-service-related pension and postretirement costs of $0.8 and FX losses of $0.9.

Loss on Early Extinguishment of Debt – On August 15, 2020, with a cash payment, we redeemed our 5.625% senior notes due in August 2024 (the “2024 Notes”) in full, pursuant to the redemption provisions of the indenture governing the 20204 Notes. As a result of the redemption, we recorded a charge of $11.0 during the three and nine months ended September 26, 2020, which related to premiums paid to redeem the 2024 Notes of $8.4, the write-off of unamortized deferred financing fees of $2.5, and other costs associated with the extinguishment of $0.1.

Interest Expense, net - Interest expense, net, for the three and nine months ended September 26, 2020 and September 28, 2019, was composed primarily of interest expense related to our senior notes and senior credit facilities and, to a lesser extent, interest expense related to our former trade receivables financing arrangement (in 2019), finance lease obligations and miscellaneous lines of credit, partially offset by interest income on cash and cash equivalents.

Interest expense, net, included interest expense of $8.3 and $8.7, and interest income of $0.9 and $2.2, respectively, during the three months ended September 26, 2020 and September 28, 2019 and interest expense of $27.9 and $28.5, and interest income of $3.0 and $6.0, respectively, during the nine months ended September 26, 2020 and September 28, 2019. Interest expense for the nine months ended September 28, 2019 included a $1.0 charge related to the write-off of deferred financing fees resulting from the extinguishment of the term loan and other facilities of our former senior credit facility, related to the amendment and restatement of our senior credit facilities in June 2019.

See Note 11 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for additional details on our third-party debt and Note 3 for additional details regarding our allocation of certain interest expense to discontinued operations.

Income Tax Provision - During the three months ended September 26, 2020, we recorded an income tax provision of $0.7 on $17.4 of pre-tax income, resulting in an effective tax rate of 4.0%. This compares to an income tax provision for the three months ended September 28, 2019 of $2.5 on $19.6 of pre-tax income, resulting in an effective tax rate of 12.8%. The effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2020 was impacted by income tax benefits of (i) $2.5 resulting from the benefit of the reduction to the forecasted annual effective tax rate in the third quarter of 2020 applied to income from the first half of 2020, (ii) $1.6 related to the timing of the pretax results in certain jurisdictions where the tax expense is not expected to be realized due to the loss carryforward position, and (iii) $1.3 resulting from adjustments to the U.S. tax liability for prior years.

The effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2019 was impacted by benefits of (i) $2.4 resulting from the cumulative impact of a reduction to the global intangible low-taxed income ("GILTI") amount included in our annual effective tax rate computation and (ii) $1.5 resulting from income occurring in the quarter in certain jurisdictions with year-to-date losses where the tax benefit of those losses is not expected to be realized, which were partially offset by a charge of $1.0 resulting from a change to the indefinite reinvestment assertion on the earnings of a certain subsidiary.

During the nine months ended September 26, 2020, we recorded an income tax provision of $3.7 on $27.0 of pre-tax income, resulting in an effective tax rate of 13.7%. This compares to an income tax provision for the nine months ended September 28, 2019 of $24.7 on $68.1 of pre-tax income, resulting in an effective tax rate of 36.3%. The effective tax rate for the first nine months of 2020 was impacted by income tax benefits of (i) $7.2 resulting from adjustments to the deemed repatriation tax and certain additional foreign credits from the recharacterization of a prior outbound transfer of an affiliate to non-U.S. entities, (ii) $1.2 resulting from tax return adjustments for certain of the Company’s subsidiaries, and (iii) $1.2 resulting from adjustments to the U.S. tax liability for prior years, which were partially offset by income tax charges of (i) $4.8 resulting from losses occurring in the first nine months of 2020 in certain jurisdictions where the tax benefit of those losses is not expected to be realized and (ii) $1.6 related to the change in valuation allowance related to certain jurisdictions where the benefit of losses are no longer expected to be realized.

The effective tax rate for the first nine months of 2019 was impacted by charges of (i) $5.5 resulting from losses occurring in certain jurisdictions where the tax benefit of those losses is not expected to be realized, (ii) $5.1 resulting from the addition of a valuation allowance for certain subsidiaries for which the benefit of previously incurred losses is not expected to be realized and (iii) $1.0 resulting from a change to the indefinite reinvestment assertion on the earnings of a certain subsidiary, which were partially offset by benefits of (i) $2.0 resulting from an outside basis difference from continuing operations that has been realized through the disposition of held-for-sale assets, (ii) $1.7 resulting from adjustments related to the German tax returns filed by certain of the Company’s subsidiaries and (iii) $1.0 resulting from the impact of a tax incentive received by one of the Company’s Chinese subsidiaries related to its 2018 tax return.

Our future effective tax rate may vary, particularly during the first quarter of each year, based on tax charges or benefits that could result from potential future vestings of restricted stock shares and restricted stock units.

Income (Loss) from Discontinued Operations, Net of Tax - For the three months ended September 26, 2020, the loss from discontinued operations, net of tax, of ($4.2), was composed of an income tax provision of $2.5 on a pre-tax loss of ($1.7). The pre-tax loss included a Loss on Disposal Group of $1.6, primarily related to the finalization of the purchase price with the Buyer. The income tax provision for the third quarter of 2020 was primarily impacted by income tax charges (i) $1.7 related to a reduction in the benefit related to the loss for global intangible low-taxed income purposes and (ii) $0.4 resulting from adjustments to the U.S. tax liability for prior years.

For the three months ended September 28, 2019, the loss from discontinued operations, net of tax, of ($47.7), was composed of a pre-tax loss of ($57.3) and an income tax benefit of $9.6. The pre-tax loss for the third quarter of 2019 included a charge of $17.0 related to the settlement of a previous payment demand from a customer related to a project of the Disposal Group. In addition, based on developments associated with the marketing and sale process that arose during the Company’s third quarter of 2019, and indications of fair value received through the conclusion of the third quarter, the Company recorded a pre-tax charge of $52.0 to reduce the carrying value of the net assets of the Disposal Group, including relevant foreign currency translation adjustment balances, to estimated fair value less costs to sell. The income tax benefit for the third quarter of 2019 was impacted by the effect that the majority of the loss on Disposal Group of $52.0 will not result in a tax benefit such that only $2.0 of tax benefit was recognized on that loss, as well as by a benefit of $7.5 resulting from basis differences that were realized through the disposition of the held-for-sale assets.

For the nine months ended September 26, 2020, the loss from discontinued operations, net of tax, of ($40.9), was composed of a pre-tax loss of ($10.3) and an income tax provision of ($30.6). The pre-tax loss included a Loss on Disposal Group of $12.1 to reduce the carrying value of the Disposal Group to our estimate, and the final negotiated amount, of the net proceeds to be realized upon finalization of the purchase price with the Buyer. The income tax provision for the first nine months of 2020 was impacted primarily by income tax charges of (i) $32.1 composed of the U.S. tax expense on the tax gain on sale of Disposal Group entities sold by the U.S. parent, (ii) $1.4 in reduction of the benefit to be realized through the disposition of held-for-sale assets and (iii) $0.4 resulting from adjustments to the U.S. tax liability for prior years, which were partially offset by an income tax benefit of $3.1 related to a loss for global intangible low-taxed income purposes on the sale of certain non-U.S. entities. The significant non-U.S. sales of Disposal Group entities were in locations where local law did not require any gain to be taxed or permit any loss to result in a future benefit. In addition to these, the income tax provision for the nine months ended September 26, 2020 also included the effect from the first quarter of 2020 where the majority of the pre-tax loss on Disposal Group was not deductible in the various jurisdictions where the sale of the Disposal Group will be recognized. As such, only $1.2 of a tax benefit was recognized on the $10.3 pre-tax loss on Disposal Group.

For the nine months ended September 29, 2019, the income from discontinued operations, net of tax, of $8.3, was composed of a pre-tax loss of ($39.1) and an income tax benefit of $47.4. The pre-tax loss included the $17.0 charge related to the settlement of a previous payment demand from a customer, and the $52.0 charge to reduce the carrying value of the net assets of the Disposal Group to estimated fair value less costs to sell, as discussed above. The income tax benefit included primarily a benefit of $48.0 resulting from basis differences that were realized through the disposition of the held-for-sale assets, as well as the effect that the majority of the Loss on Disposal Group of $52.0 will not result in a tax benefit such that only $2.0 of tax benefit was recognized on that loss.

RESULTS OF REPORTABLE SEGMENTS

The following information should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes.

Orders	159.0			160.2			(0.7)	435.1			467.1			(6.9)

Revenues	160.6			178.9			(10.2)	443.1			530.0			(16.4)
Income	24.2			27.1			(10.7)	62.7			59.6			5.2
% of revenues	15.1		%	15.1		%		14.2		%	11.2		%
Components of revenue decline:
Organic decline							(12.1)							(15.0)
Foreign currency							1.9							(1.4)
Net revenue decline							(10.2)							(16.4)

For the nine months ended September 26, 2020, the decrease in revenues, compared to the respective 2019 period, was due to a decrease in organic revenue and, to a lesser extent, a strengthening of the U.S. dollar during the period against various foreign currencies. The decrease in organic revenue was due to a lower level of systems revenue, including large dry-dairy systems revenue, as anticipated, as well as lower components and aftermarket revenues.

Income - For the three months ended September 26, 2020, income decreased and margin was unchanged, compared to the respective 2019 period. The decrease in income was primarily due to the impact of lower revenues. The effects of the reduction in volume on margin were offset by strong operational and project execution on an improved mix of revenue, savings from cost reduction actions and net price benefits.

For the nine months ended September 26, 2020, income and margin increased, compared to the respective 2019 period. Similar to the three-month period noted above, the increases in income and margin were primarily due to strong operational and project execution, an improved mix of revenue, savings from cost reduction actions and net price benefits.

Backlog - The segment had backlog of $269.2 and $248.1 as of September 26, 2020 and September 28, 2019, respectively. Of the $21.1 year-over-year increase in backlog, $13.5 was attributable to organic growth and $7.6 was attributable to the impact of fluctuations in foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar. The organic growth was due to an increase in systems orders in our EMEA region, partially offset by a decline in systems orders in the China market.

Net revenue decline							(4.1)							(16.5)

Revenues - For the three months ended September 26, 2020, the decrease in revenues, compared to the respective 2019 period, was due to a decrease in organic revenue, partially offset by (i) a weakening of the U.S. dollar during the period against various foreign currencies as well as (ii) the impact on revenues of a business acquisition which occurred during the third quarter of 2020. The decrease in organic revenue was due to reduced demand and shipments across the majority of our short-cycle Industrial segment product lines and end markets, primarily associated with global macroeconomic conditions resulting from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.

For the nine months ended September 26, 2020, the decrease in revenues, compared to the respective 2019 period, was due primarily to a decrease in organic revenue and, to a lesser extent, a strengthening of the U.S. dollar during the period against various foreign currencies. Similar to the three-month period noted above, the decrease in organic revenue was due to reduced demand and shipments across the majority of our short-cycle Industrial segment product lines and end markets, primarily associated with global macroeconomic conditions resulting from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, the segment had lower opening shippable backlog in the 2020 period than in the 2019 period.

Income - For the three months ended September 26, 2020, income decreased nominally and margin increased, compared to the respective 2019 period. The increase in margin was primarily related to cost reduction efforts which more than offset the effects of lower revenues.

For the nine months ended September 26, 2020, income and margin decreased compared to the respective 2019 period, due primarily to volume declines in high margin product lines. The income and margin decline was partially offset by cost reduction efforts.

Backlog - The segment had backlog of $261.2 and $232.9 as of September 26, 2020 and September 28, 2019, respectively. Of the $28.3 year-over-year increase in backlog, $24.3 was attributable to organic growth and, to a lesser extent, an increase of $4.0 due to the impact of fluctuations in foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar. The organic growth was due primarily to the timing of long-cycle orders received in the fourth quarter of 2019 and first half of 2020, as well as the effects of lower shipments in the first half of 2020, compared to the respective 2019 period.

CORPORATE EXPENSE AND PENSION AND POSTRETIREMENT SERVICE COSTS


	Three months ended							Nine months ended
	September 26, 2020			September 28, 2019			% Change	September 26, 2020			September 28, 2019			% Change
Total consolidated revenues	$	356.9		$	383.5		(6.9)	$	954.5		$	1,142.3		(16.4)
Corporate expense	19.2			18.1			6.1	53.7			44.8			19.9

Pension and postretirement service costs	0.2			0.3			(33.3)	0.6			0.7			(14.3)

Corporate Expense - Corporate expense generally relates to the cost of our Charlotte, North Carolina corporate headquarters and our Asia Pacific center in Shanghai, China. Corporate expense also reflects stock-based compensation costs associated with corporate employees.

The increase in corporate expense for the three and nine months ended September 26, 2020, compared to the respective 2019 periods, was due primarily to (i) an increase in variable incentive compensation, (ii) merger and acquisition activities and (iii) an increase in depreciation related to certain corporate-related information technology systems. For the three months ended September 26, 2020, increases in corporate expense were partially offset by a reduction in professional fees associated with the further development of the Company’s enterprise strategy and long-term value creation planning.

See Note 13 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for further details regarding our stock-based compensation awards.

Pension and Postretirement Service Costs - SPX FLOW sponsors a number of defined benefit pension plans and a postretirement plan. For all of these plans, changes in the fair value of plan assets and actuarial gains and losses are recognized to earnings in the fourth quarter of each year as a component of net periodic benefit expense, unless earlier remeasurement is required. The remaining components of pension and postretirement expense, primarily service and interest costs and expected return on plan assets, are recorded on a quarterly basis. Non-service-related pension and postretirement costs are reported in “Other income (expense), net.”

See Note 10 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for further details regarding our pension and postretirement plans.

LIQUIDITY AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

Listed below are the cash flows from (used in) operating, investing and financing activities, as well as the net change in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, for the nine months ended September 26, 2020 and September 28, 2019.

Cash Flow


	Nine months ended
	September 26, 2020		September 28, 2019
Cash flows from (used in) continuing operations:
Cash flows from operating activities	$	31.6	$	52.3
Cash flows used in investing activities	(24.0)		(16.4)
Cash flows used in financing activities	(353.5)		(50.1)
Cash flows from discontinued operations	384.8		41.9
Change in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates	10.2		(2.6)
Net change in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash	$	49.1	$	25.1

Operating Activities - During the nine months ended September 26, 2020, the decrease in cash flows from operating activities, compared to the same period in 2019, was primarily attributable to reduced cash flows from lower segment income and an increased investment in inventories, due partially to delayed shipments resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Investing Activities - During the nine months ended September 26, 2020 and September 28, 2019, such cash flows were comprised primarily of capital expenditures associated generally with the upgrades of manufacturing facilities and information technology and, additionally during the nine months ended September 26, 2020, cash paid for a business acquisition of $10.0.

Financing Activities - During the nine months ended September 26, 2020, cash flows used in financing activities related primarily to (i) the repurchases of our 5.625% senior notes, including premiums, of $308.4, (ii) purchases of common stock of $16.9 associated with a written trading plan under Rule 10b5-1(c) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (iii) repayments of purchase card program debt of $11.6, (iv) the purchase of certain noncontrolling interests in a subsidiary of $8.2 and (v) payments of minimum withholdings on behalf of employees in connection with net share settlements of $6.9.

During the nine months ended September 28, 2019, cash flows used in financing activities related primarily to (i) net repayments under our former senior credit facilities of $140.0, including the extinguishment of those former facilities in June 2019, (ii) payments of minimum withholdings on behalf of employees in connection with net share settlements of $5.4 and (iii) financing fees paid in connection with entering into our amended and restated senior credit facilities of $3.3, partially offset by net borrowings under our amended and restated senior credit facilities of $100.0.

Discontinued Operations - During the nine months ended September 26, 2020, cash flows from discontinued operations consisted primarily of proceeds from the disposition of the Disposal Group of $406.2, less cash and restricted cash disposed of $7.3, net cash used in operating activities of discontinued operations of $8.3 primarily related to the payment of professional fees associated with the disposition during the second quarter of 2020, and capital expenditures during the first quarter of 2020 of $5.5 related to the Disposal Group. During the nine months ended September 28, 2019, cash flows from discontinued operations consisted primarily of operating activities of discontinued operations of $46.8, partially offset by capital expenditures of $4.6.

Change in Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash due to Changes in Foreign Currency Exchange Rates - The increase (decrease) in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash due to foreign currency exchange rates of $10.2 and $(2.6), respectively, in the nine months ended September 26, 2020 and September 28, 2019, reflected primarily an increase (decrease) in U.S. dollar equivalent balances of foreign-denominated cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash as a result of changes in the U.S. dollar against various foreign currencies during the respective period.

Borrowings and Availability

Borrowings —Debt at September 26, 2020 and December 31, 2019 was comprised of the following:


	September 26, 2020		December 31, 2019

As a result of the redemption, we recorded a charge of $11.0 to "Loss on early extinguishment of debt" during the third quarter of 2020, which related to premiums paid to redeem the 2024 Notes of $8.4, the write-off of unamortized deferred financing fees of $2.5, and other costs associated with the extinguishment of the 2024 Notes of $0.1.

(3)Deferred financing fees were comprised of fees related to the term loan and senior notes.

Availability — At September 26, 2020, we had $494.3 of borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facilities after giving effect to $5.7 reserved for outstanding letters of credit. In addition, at September 26, 2020, we had $93.4 of available issuance capacity under our foreign credit instrument facilities after giving effect to $56.6 reserved for outstanding bank guarantees. In addition, we had $5.2 of bank guarantees outstanding under the senior credit facilities that, once satisfied, cannot be reissued.

At September 26, 2020, in addition to the revolving lines of credit described above, we had approximately $11.5 of letters of credit outstanding under separate arrangements in China and India.

Refer to Note 11 for further information on our borrowings as of September 26, 2020.

At September 26, 2020, we were in compliance with all covenants of our senior credit facilities and senior notes.

Financial Instruments

We measure our financial assets and liabilities on a recurring basis, and nonfinancial assets and liabilities on a non-recurring basis, at fair value. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. We utilize market data or assumptions that we believe market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1), significant other observable inputs (Level 2) or significant unobservable inputs (Level 3).

Our derivative financial assets and liabilities include FX forward contracts and FX embedded derivatives measured at fair value using observable market inputs such as forward rates, interest rates, our own credit risk and our counterparties' credit risks. Based on these inputs, the derivative assets and liabilities are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. Based on our continued ability to enter into forward contracts, we consider the markets for our fair value instruments active.

As of September 26, 2020, there had been no significant impact to the fair value of our derivative liabilities due to our own credit risk as the related instruments were collateralized under our senior credit facilities. Similarly, there had been no significant impact to the fair value of our derivative assets based on our evaluation of our counterparties' credit risks.

We primarily use the income approach, market approach, or both approaches, as appropriate. The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single present amount. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities (including the sale of a business). Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are further discussed below.

Currency Forward Contracts and Currency Forward Embedded Derivatives

We manufacture and sell our products in a number of countries and, as a result, are exposed to movements in foreign currency exchange rates. Our objective is to preserve the economic value of non-functional currency-denominated cash flows and to minimize the impact of changes as a result of currency fluctuations (see Note 12 to our condensed consolidated financial statements). Our principal currency exposures relate to the Euro, Chinese Yuan and British Pound.

The net fair values of our FX forward contracts and FX embedded derivatives were $0.1 and $0.3 (assets) at September 26, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

Other Fair Value Financial Assets and Liabilities

The carrying amounts of cash and equivalents, receivables and contract assets reported in our condensed consolidated balance sheets approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of those instruments.

The fair value of our debt instruments (excluding finance leases and deferred financing fees), based on borrowing rates available to us at September 26, 2020 for similar debt, was $420.2, compared to our carrying value of $408.9.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject us to significant concentrations of credit risk consist of cash and equivalents, trade accounts receivable, contract assets and FX forward contracts. These financial instruments, other than trade accounts receivable and contract assets, are placed with high-quality financial institutions throughout the world. We periodically evaluate the credit standing of these financial institutions.

We maintain cash levels in bank accounts that, at times, may exceed federally-insured limits. We have not experienced, and believe we are not exposed to significant risk of, loss in these accounts.

We have credit loss exposure in the event of nonperformance by counterparties to the above financial instruments, but have no other off-balance-sheet credit risk of accounting loss. Except as is provided for in our accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets through an allowance for uncollectible accounts for certain accounts receivable, we anticipate that counterparties will be able to fully satisfy their obligations under the contracts. We do not obtain collateral or other security to support financial instruments subject to credit risk, but we do monitor the credit standing of counterparties.

Concentrations of credit risk arising from trade accounts receivable and contract assets are due to selling to customers in a particular industry. Credit risks are mitigated by performing ongoing credit evaluations of our customers' financial conditions and obtaining collateral, advance payments, or other security when appropriate. No one customer, or group of customers that, to our knowledge, are under common control, accounted for more than 10% of our revenues for any period presented.

Other Matters

Contractual Obligations - As of September 26, 2020, there were no material changes in our contractual obligations from those disclosed in our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K. As noted under “Liquidity and Financial Condition –

Borrowings and Availability”, however, we redeemed in full the 2024 Notes, with aggregate principal amount of $300.0, on August 15, 2020, using available cash.

Our total net liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits including interest were $15.9 as of September 26, 2020. Of that amount, we believe that within the next 12 months it is reasonably possible that our previously unrecognized tax benefits (including interest) could decrease by $0.5 to $1.5.

Contingencies and Other Matters - Various claims, complaints and proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, including those relating to litigation matters (e.g., class actions, derivative lawsuits and contracts, intellectual property and competitive claims, and claims to certain indemnification obligations arising from previous acquisitions/dispositions), have been filed or are pending against us and certain of our subsidiaries. We believe these matters are either without merit or of a kind that should not have a material effect, individually or in the aggregate, on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

We are subject to domestic and international environmental protection laws and regulations with respect to our business operations and are operating in compliance with, or taking action aimed at ensuring compliance with, these laws and regulations. None of our compliance obligations with environmental protection laws and regulations, individually or in the aggregate, is expected to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Refer to Note 14 for discussion regarding amounts reported in “Mezzanine equity” on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 26, 2020 and December 31, 2019 including discussion regarding the exercise of certain put options by a noncontrolling interest shareholder during the first quarter of 2020, and an agreement reached with such shareholder during the third quarter of 2020 related to the Company's purchase of the shareholder's noncontrolling interest in the relevant subsidiary.

General - The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The accounting policies that we believe are most critical to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and that require our most difficult, subjective or complex judgments in estimating the effect of inherent uncertainties are discussed in our consolidated financial statements included in our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We are exposed to market risk related to changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity raw material prices, and we selectively use financial instruments to manage certain of these risks. We do not enter into financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes; however, these instruments may be deemed speculative if the future cash flows originally hedged are no longer probable of occurring as anticipated. Our currency exposures vary, but are primarily concentrated in the Euro, Chinese Yuan and British Pound. We generally do not hedge currency translation exposures. Our exposures for commodity raw materials vary, with the highest concentration relating to steel. See Note 12 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for further details.

The following table provides information, as of September 26, 2020, about our primary outstanding debt obligations and presents principal cash flows by contractual maturity dates, weighted-average interest rates and fair values.


	Due Within 1 Year		Due Within 2 Years		Due Within 3 Years		Due Within 4 Years		Due Within 5 Years		Thereafter		Total			Fair Value


Term loan	$	—	$	100.0	$	—	$	—	$	—	$	—	$	100.0		$	100.0
Average interest rate													1.531		%
5.875% senior notes	—		—		—		—		—		300.0		300.0			311.3
Average interest rate													5.875		%

We believe that cash and equivalents, cash flows from operations, and availability under revolving credit facilities will be sufficient to fund working capital needs, planned capital expenditures, dividend payments (if declared), other operational cash requirements and required debt service obligations for at least the next 12 months.

We had FX forward contracts with an aggregate notional amount of $35.9 outstanding as of September 26, 2020, with all such contracts scheduled to mature within one year. We also had FX embedded derivatives with an aggregate notional amount of $5.1 at September 26, 2020, with all such contracts scheduled to mature within one year. The gross fair values of our FX forward contracts and FX embedded derivatives, in aggregate, were $0.1 (gross assets) and $0.0 (gross liabilities) as of September 26, 2020.

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures

SPX FLOW management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures, pursuant to Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15, as of September 26, 2020. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 26, 2020.

No changes during the quarter ended September 26, 2020 were identified that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting. We have not experienced any material impact to our internal controls over financial reporting despite many of our employees who are responsible for executing and administering such internal controls working remotely due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We are continually monitoring and assessing the COVID-19 situation on our internal controls to minimize the impact on their design and operating effectiveness.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings

The information required by this Item is incorporated by reference from the footnotes to the condensed consolidated financial statements, specifically Note 14, “Litigation, Contingent Liabilities and Other Matters,” included under Part I of this Form 10-Q.

ITEM 1A. Risk Factors

The development of the COVID-19 global pandemic during the first three quarters of 2020 adversely affected, and is expected to continue to adversely affect, our business and we have experienced, and expect to continue to experience, reductions in both the demand for certain of our products and services and the ability of our global teams and our suppliers to produce and deliver those products and services. Accordingly, we are including the following risk factor, which supplements the risk factors included in our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K:

RISKS RELATED TO COVID-19

We have been and continue to be negatively impacted by the COVID-19 global pandemic and its related impacts to our employees, operations, customers and suppliers.

The COVID-19 global pandemic is adversely affecting, and is expected to continue to adversely affect, our business and we have experienced and expect to continue to experience reductions in both the demand for certain of our products and services and the ability of our global teams and our suppliers to produce and deliver those products and services. Because we serve customers who produce food, beverages, personal care items, cleaning products, pharmaceuticals, and specialty chemicals and serve critical infrastructure and industrial enablement functions, a majority, but not all, of our products, services and operations have been classified as “essential” under various governmental orders restricting business activities implemented in response to the COVID-19 outbreak. However, we cannot predict whether these products, services and operations will continue to be classified as “essential” or, even if so treated, whether site-specific health and safety concerns related to COVID-19 might otherwise require operations at any of our facilities to be halted for some period of time. In addition, in view of uncertainties with respect to the further spread of COVID-19 and the duration and terms of related governmental orders restricting activities, we cannot predict whether demand for our products and services will persist at current levels or decrease along with broader slowdowns in industrial and sanitary markets on a global or regional basis.

Public health officials around the world have recommended, and local, state, and national governments have mandated, precautions to mitigate the spread of COVID-19, including prohibitions on congregating in groups, shelter-in-place orders or similar measures. As a result, we have temporarily closed certain of our offices and engineering, service and manufacturing centers over the past several months, and may be required to close additional facilities in the future in response to governmental orders, other COVID-19-related safety concerns or in response to market conditions affected by COVID-19. These restrictions have also impacted certain of our suppliers and we have been and will continue to be impacted by the supply of certain materials and sub-components utilized by our manufacturing and service operations. While we continue to develop new sources of supply and analyze alternative solutions, we cannot ensure that the scope or duration of supply chain interruptions will not adversely impact our operations. In addition, we have restricted travel for our employees, limited new hiring to critical and replacement roles and implemented additional cash management protocols. Our results will be adversely impacted by these closures and other actions taken to contain or treat the impact of COVID-19, although the extent of such impact on our financial and operating results will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, but which could be significant.

Due to the extent of our sales generated outside the United States, including in emerging markets, demand for our products and services may not coincide with any recovery in general economic conditions experienced in the United States and our operations in other jurisdictions may continue to be subject to governmental orders restricting activities. Accordingly, to the extent that general economic conditions in the United States may improve over time, results of operations may continue to be adversely affected by COVID-19 impacts in other areas of the world.

OTHER RISKS

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the risk factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K, which could materially affect our business, financial condition, future results of operations or cash flows.
