IDEX REPORTS FIRST QUARTER RESULTS;
DELIVERS Q1 OPERATING MARGIN OF 23.8 PERCENT AND RECORD EPS OF $1.44;
RAISES FULL YEAR EPS GUIDANCE

LAKE FOREST, IL, APRIL 25 - IDEX Corporation (NYSE: IEX) today announced its financial results for the three month period ended March 31, 2019.

First Quarter 2019 Highlights
Orders were up 4 percent overall and 6 percent organically
Sales were up 2 percent overall and 4 percent organically
Operating margin was 23.8 percent, up 120 bps
EPS was $1.44, up 12 percent

First Quarter 2019

Orders of $655.5 million were up 4 percent compared with the prior year period (+6 percent organic, +1 percent acquisition and -3 percent foreign currency translation).

Sales of $622.2 million were up 2 percent compared with the prior year period (+4 percent organic and -2 percent foreign currency translation).
  
Gross margin of 45.6 percent was up 40 basis points compared with the prior year period primarily due to price, productivity initiatives and volume leverage, partially offset by higher engineering investments across all three segments.

Operating income of $147.8 million resulted in an operating margin of 23.8 percent, up 120 basis points compared with the adjusted prior year period primarily due to gross margin expansion as well as lower amortization and variable compensation costs in 2019. Operating income drove EBITDA of $166.6 million which was 27 percent of sales and covered interest expense by 15 times.

Provision for income taxes of $26.7 million in the first quarter of 2019 resulted in an effective tax rate (ETR) of 19.5 percent, which was lower than the prior year period ETR of 24.0 percent primarily due to an increase in foreign tax credits, additional discrete tax expense in 2018 and the mix of global pre-tax income among jurisdictions.

Net income was $110.3 million which resulted in EPS of $1.44, an increase of 15 cents, or 12 percent, from adjusted prior year period EPS.

Cash from operations of $88.7 million led to free cash flow of $75.8 million, which was up 23 percent from the prior year period and 69 percent of net income. The increase in free cash flow was primarily due to increased earnings and favorable working capital partially offset by higher capital expenditures in the first quarter of 2019.






The Company repurchased 370 thousand shares of common stock for $51.7 million in the first quarter of 2019, at an average price of $139.82.

“Strong execution drove a solid start to the year for IDEX. First quarter organic orders and sales grew 6 and 4 percent, respectively. We generated $33 million of backlog during the quarter led by strong organic order growth of 10 percent in FMT and 9 percent in FSDP. Sales within most of our end markets remain strong, led by our industrial businesses. However, we continue to see softness in our agriculture and semiconductor markets, along with some volatility in our dispensing and MPT project-related businesses. Operating margin continues to be a great story, increasing 120 basis points with expansion across all three segments in the quarter. Overall, we delivered record first quarter EPS of $1.44, which was approximately 7 cents above the midpoint of our previous guidance, 2 cents of which was operational over achievement, with the remaining 5 cents due to a lower effective tax rate compared to our previous estimate.

 
 
We continue to invest in resources for our best organic growth opportunities. These investments are paying dividends as evidenced by 11 consecutive quarters of organic order expansion and 9 consecutive quarters of organic sales growth. M&A remains a key priority for the Company and our balance sheet is in a very good position to support the right opportunities. In the meantime, we keep deploying capital in line with our framework, with $33 million returned to shareholders through dividends, and we repurchased 370 thousand shares of our stock for approximately $52 million.

 

 
 
Taking into consideration our solid start to the year and favorability from tax, while keeping a cautious eye on the global economy, we are raising full year EPS guidance while maintaining our organic revenue projection. We now expect full year 2019 EPS of $5.70 to $5.85, with projected second quarter EPS of $1.47 to $1.50. Organic revenue growth expectation for both the second quarter and full year is 4 to 5 percent.”

First Quarter 2019 Segment Highlights

Fluid & Metering Technologies
Sales of $242.5 million reflected a 4 percent increase compared to the first quarter of 2018 (+6 percent organic and -2 percent foreign currency translation).
Operating income of $71.9 million resulted in an operating margin of 29.6 percent, a 110 basis point increase compared to the adjusted prior year period primarily due to higher volume and productivity initiatives.
EBITDA of $77.3 million resulted in an EBITDA margin of 31.9 percent, a 100 basis point increase compared to the adjusted prior year period.

Health & Science Technologies
Sales of $225.3 million reflected a 2 percent increase compared to the first quarter of 2018 (+3 percent organic, +1 percent acquisition and -2 percent foreign currency translation).
Operating income of $54.2 million resulted in an operating margin of 24.0 percent, a 10 basis point increase compared to the adjusted prior year period primarily due to lower amortization, partially offset by higher engineering investments.
EBITDA of $63.4 million resulted in an EBITDA margin of 28.1 percent, a 120 basis point decrease compared to the adjusted prior year period primarily due to business mix and a negative impact from foreign currency.

Fire & Safety/Diversified Products
Sales of $156.2 million reflected a 2 percent decrease compared to the first quarter of 2018 (+1 percent organic and -3 percent foreign currency translation).
Operating income of $40.3 million resulted in an operating margin of 25.8 percent, a 90 basis point increase compared to the adjusted prior year period primarily due to productivity initiatives.





EBITDA of $43.3 million resulted in an EBITDA margin of 27.7 percent, a 190 basis point decrease compared to the adjusted prior year period primarily due to transaction gains included in Other (income) expense in the prior year period.

For the first quarter of 2019, Fluid & Metering Technologies contributed 39 percent of sales, 43 percent of operating income and 42 percent of EBITDA; Health & Science Technologies accounted for 36 percent of sales, 33 percent of operating income and 34 percent of EBITDA; and Fire & Safety/Diversified Products represented 25 percent of sales, 24 percent of operating income and 24 percent of EBITDA.


Non-U.S. GAAP Measures of Financial Performance
The Company supplements certain U.S. GAAP financial performance metrics with non-U.S. GAAP financial performance metrics in order to provide investors with better insight and increased transparency while also allowing for a more comprehensive understanding of the financial information used by management in its decision making. Reconciliations of non-U.S. GAAP financial performance metrics to their most comparable U.S. 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 U.S. GAAP. There were no adjustments to U.S. GAAP financial performance metrics other than the items noted below.

Organic orders and sales are calculated excluding amounts from acquired or divested businesses during the first twelve months of ownership or divestiture and the impact of foreign currency translation.
Adjusted operating income is calculated as operating income plus restructuring expenses.
Adjusted operating margin is calculated as adjusted operating income divided by net sales.
Adjusted net income is calculated as net income plus restructuring expenses, net of the statutory tax expense or benefit.
EBITDA is calculated as net income plus interest expense plus provision for income taxes plus depreciation and amortization. We reconciled EBITDA to net income on a consolidated basis as we do not allocate consolidated interest expense or consolidated provision for income taxes to our segments.
Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as EBITDA plus restructuring expenses.
Free cash flow is calculated as cash flow from operating activities less capital expenditures.
