Second Quarter 2023 Highlights

(All comparisons are against the second quarter of 2022 unless otherwise noted)

  • Record sales of $846.2 million, up 6% overall and 3% organically
  • Reported EPS of $1.82, up 1% and record adjusted EPS of $2.18, up 8%

NORTHBROOK, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jul. 26, 2023-- IDEX Corporation (NYSE: IEX) today announced its financial results for the three month period ended June 30, 2023.

“IDEX achieved record sales and adjusted earnings per share in the second quarter,” said Eric D. Ashleman, IDEX Corporation Chief Executive Officer and President. “Our view on core IDEX industrial markets continues to hold as inventory and backlog recalibrates in line with our supply chain improvements and lead time reductions. Our Fluid & Metering and Fire & Safety / Diversified Products businesses delivered strong organic growth and profitability within this environment.”

“Our businesses within our Health & Science Technologies segment remained challenged, impacted by customers' sharp inventory recalibration and demand softness after two years of double-digit growth. At this point we no longer expect market recovery within the second half of the year. Our teams are appropriately balanced as they execute targeted cost reductions to mitigate a portion of these volume declines, drive strong cash flow overall, and continue to innovate for our customers.”

"Regardless of macroeconomic fluctuations, we remain focused on initiatives to drive long-term growth. IDEX continues to be well positioned in markets with strong secular growth trends and critical technologies that enable above-market performance over an economic cycle. Our balance sheet is strong and provides ample capacity to fund our disciplined capital deployment strategy."

2023 Outlook
Full year 2023 organic sales are projected to decline 1 to 2 percent over the prior year, with GAAP EPS of $6.80 - $6.90 (adjusted EPS of $7.90 - $8.00).

Third quarter 2023 organic sales are projected to decline 7 to 8 percent over the prior year period, with GAAP EPS of $1.60 - $1.65 (adjusted EPS of $1.84 - $1.89).

Orders
Second quarter 2023 orders of $765.9 million reflected a 9 percent decrease compared with the prior year period (-13 percent organic and +4 percent acquisitions/divestitures).

Net Sales
Second quarter 2023 net sales of $846.2 million reflected a 6 percent increase compared with the prior year period (+3 percent organic, +4 percent acquisitions/divestitures and -1 percent foreign currency translation).

Gross Margin
Second quarter 2023 gross margin of 44.7 percent decreased 10 basis points compared with the prior year period primarily due to lower volume leverage, the dilutive impact of acquisitions and unfavorable mix, partially offset by strong price/cost and favorable operational productivity, net of higher employee-related costs.

Net Income and Earnings per Share Attributable to IDEX
Second quarter 2023 net income attributable to IDEX increased $0.4 million to $138.6 million, which resulted in EPS attributable to IDEX of $1.82 per share, an increase of 1 cent per share, or 1 percent, from the prior year period. The second quarter 2023 effective tax rate of 22.4 percent was relatively consistent compared with the second quarter 2022 effective tax rate of 22.1 percent. Adjusted EPS attributable to IDEX, which reflects the impact of non-GAAP adjustments, net of related taxes, was $2.18 per share, an increase of 16 cents per share, or 8 percent, from the prior year period.

Net Income Margin and Adjusted EBITDA Margin
Second quarter 2023 net income margin of 16.4 percent decreased 90 basis points compared with the prior year period. The decrease was driven by a reserve recorded on an investment with a collaborative partner, higher amortization on new acquisitions and higher interest expense, partially offset by operational performance discussed below. Second quarter 2023 Adjusted EBITDA margin of 28.4 percent, which reflects the impact of non-GAAP adjustments, increased 90 basis points compared with the prior year period driven by strong price/cost, operational productivity and lower variable compensation costs, partially offset by lower volume leverage, higher employee-related costs and unfavorable mix.

Cash Flow
Second quarter 2023 cash from operations of $141.2 million was up 26 percent primarily due to lower investments in working capital in 2023 as compared with 2022. Second quarter 2023 free cash flow included higher capital expenditures and was $119.6 million, up 24 percent compared with the prior year period and constituted 72 percent of adjusted net income attributable to IDEX.

Three and six month data includes the results of the KZValve acquisition (May 2022) and the Nexsight acquisition (February 2022) in the FMT segment as well as the Iridian acquisition (May 2023) and Muon Group acquisition (November 2022) in the HST segment from the date of acquisition. Three and six month data also includes the results of Knight LLC ("Knight") (September 2022) in the FMT segment through the date of disposition.

(b)

Segment Adjusted EBITDA excludes unallocated corporate costs which are included in Corporate Office and Eliminations.

(c)

These are non-GAAP financial measures. For a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, see the reconciliation tables below.

 
 

Non-GAAP Measures of Financial Performance
The Company prepares its public financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). The Company supplements certain GAAP financial performance metrics with non-GAAP financial performance metrics. Management believes these non-GAAP financial performance metrics provide investors with greater insight, transparency and a more comprehensive understanding of the financial information used by management in its financial and operational decision making because certain of these adjusted metrics exclude items not reflective of ongoing operations, as identified in the reconciliations below. Reconciliations of non-GAAP financial performance metrics to their most directly comparable GAAP financial performance metrics are defined and presented below and should not be considered a substitute for, nor superior to, the financial data prepared in accordance with GAAP. Due to rounding, numbers presented throughout this and other documents may not add up or recalculate precisely. There were no adjustments to GAAP financial performance metrics other than the items noted below.

  • Organic orders and net sales are calculated excluding amounts from acquired or divested businesses during the first twelve months of ownership or prior to divestiture and the impact of foreign currency translation.
  • Adjusted gross profit is calculated as gross profit plus fair value inventory step-up charges.
  • Adjusted gross margin is calculated as adjusted gross profit divided by net sales.
  • Adjusted net income attributable to IDEX is calculated as Net income attributable to IDEX plus restructuring expenses and asset impairments, plus fair value inventory step-up charges, less gains on sales of assets, plus the credit loss on a note receivable from a collaborative partner, plus acquisition-related intangible asset amortization, all net of the statutory tax expense or benefit.
  • Adjusted diluted EPS attributable to IDEX is calculated as adjusted net income attributable to IDEX divided by the diluted weighted average shares outstanding.
  • Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or consolidated EBITDA, plus fair value inventory step-up charges, plus restructuring expenses and asset impairments, less gains on sales of assets, plus the credit loss on a note receivable from a collaborative partner.
  • Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated as Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA divided by Net sales.
  • Free cash flow is calculated as cash flows from operating activities less capital expenditures.
