NORTHBROOK, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Apr. 26, 2022-- IDEX Corporation (NYSE: IEX) today announced its financial results for the three month period ended March 31, 2022.

“The first quarter was an outstanding start to the year for IDEX," said Eric D. Ashleman, IDEX Corporation Chief Executive Officer and President. “We experienced robust demand and delivered strong operating performance, which drove record sales, double-digit organic growth and excellent margins. We also achieved record earnings per share performance, which was above the high end of our guided range."

“Our teams adeptly navigated the challenging economic environment and continued to deliver for our customers," Ashleman said. "Our highly differentiated product portfolio enabled strong price capture amid inflation pressures, and our focus on operational productivity yielded positive results."

"Capital deployment continues to be a key priority. We recently announced our intent to acquire KZValve, which will extend our precision agriculture product offerings, and we closed on Nexsight, a complement to our water businesses. Additionally, we repurchased 148 thousand shares in the first quarter and continued to invest capital to support organic growth. With our strong balance sheet, we are well positioned to capitalize on opportunities to drive long term value."

2022 Outlook

Full year 2022 organic sales growth is projected to be 6 to 8 percent, with an 8 to 9 percent organic sales increase in the second quarter of 2022 versus the prior year period. The Company expects full year 2022 reported EPS attributable to IDEX of $6.87 to $7.00 (adjusted EPS attributable to IDEX of $7.50 to $7.63) and second quarter 2022 reported EPS attributable to IDEX of $1.69 to $1.74 (adjusted EPS attributable to IDEX of $1.85 to $1.90).

Net Sales

First quarter 2022 sales of $751.1 million reflected a 15 percent increase compared with the prior year period (+12 percent organic, +5 percent acquisitions and -2 percent foreign currency translation).

Gross Margin

First quarter 2022 gross margin of 45.6 percent increased 70 basis points compared with the prior year period primarily due to higher volume leverage and strong operational productivity together with favorable price/cost, partially offset by higher employee-related costs. Additionally, the prior year period was unfavorably impacted by the fair value inventory step-up charge related to the ABEL Pumps, L.P. ("ABEL") acquisition. Adjusted gross margin, which excludes the fair value inventory step-up charge, increased 60 basis points.

Operating Margin

First quarter 2022 operating margin of 25.0 percent increased 110 basis points compared with the prior year period due to the drivers discussed above, partially offset by higher discretionary spending and resource investments. Additionally, the prior year period was unfavorably impacted by restructuring costs and the fair value inventory step-up charge related to the ABEL acquisition. Adjusted operating margin, which excludes restructuring costs and the fair value inventory step-up charge, increased 70 basis points.

Net Income Attributable to IDEX

First quarter 2022 net income attributable to IDEX increased $27.3 million to $140.0 million, which resulted in EPS attributable to IDEX of $1.83 per share. The first quarter 2022 effective tax rate of 22.4 percent decreased slightly compared to the prior year period effective tax rate of 22.6 percent due to the mix of global pre-tax income across jurisdictions. Adjusted EPS attributable to IDEX, which reflects the impact of non-GAAP adjustments, net of related taxes, was $1.96 per share, an increase of 34 cents per share, or 21.0 percent, from the prior year period.

Cash Flow

First quarter 2022 cash from operations of $79.7 million was down 27.1 percent compared with the prior year period primarily due to increases in working capital, partially offset by higher earnings. Accounts receivable increased as a result of higher volume and inventories increased to support production amid supply chain difficulties. First quarter 2022 free cash flow of $63.6 million was 42.5 percent of adjusted net income attributable to IDEX and reflected slightly higher capital expenditures as compared to the prior year period. Free cash flow as a percent of adjusted net income attributable to IDEX now reflects the impact of excluding acquisition-related intangible asset amortization, net of related taxes, from adjusted net income attributable to IDEX.

Additionally, the prior year period margin was unfavorably impacted by restructuring costs. Adjusted operating margin, which excludes restructuring costs, decreased 340 basis points.

Corporate Costs

Corporate costs included in operating income were $16.9 million in the first quarter of 2022, a decrease of $1.7 million over the prior year period, primarily due to lower acquisition costs, employee award forfeitures and period-over-period mark to market adjustments driven by changes in the Company's share price.

Acquisitions

On February 28, 2022, the Company acquired Nexsight, LLC and its businesses Envirosight, WinCan, MyTana and Pipeline Renewal Technologies (“Nexsight”). Nexsight complements and creates synergies with the Company’s existing iPEK and ADS business units that design and create sewer crawlers, inspection and monitoring systems and software applications that allow teams to identify, anticipate and correct wastewater system issues remotely. Headquartered in Randolph, New Jersey, Nexsight operates in the Company’s Water reporting unit within the Fluid & Metering Technologies ("FMT") segment. Nexsight was acquired for cash consideration of $114.7 million. The entire purchase price was funded with cash on hand.

On March 30, 2022, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to acquire KZ CO. ("KZValve") for cash consideration of $120.0 million, subject to customary post-closing adjustments. KZValve, based in Greenwood, Nebraska, is a leading manufacturer of electric valves and controllers used primarily in agricultural applications. KZValve will augment and expand IDEX's agricultural portfolio, complementing Banjo's current fluid management solutions for these applications. With annual sales of approximately $28.0 million, KZValve will be part of the Company’s Agriculture reporting unit within the FMT segment. The Company expects to close the transaction by the end of the second quarter of 2022, subject to regulatory approval and customary closing conditions.

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, such as fair value inventory step-up charges, restructuring expenses and asset impairments, gains on sales of assets and acquisition-related intangible asset amortization. Reconciliations of non-GAAP financial performance metrics to their most 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 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 operating income is calculated as operating income plus fair value inventory step-up charges plus restructuring expenses and asset impairments.
• Adjusted operating margin is calculated as adjusted operating income divided by net sales.
• Adjusted net income attributable to IDEX is calculated as net income attributable to IDEX plus fair value inventory step-up charges plus restructuring expenses and asset impairments less gains on sales of assets plus acquisition-related intangible asset amortization, all net of the statutory tax expense or benefit.
• Adjusted EPS attributable to IDEX is calculated as adjusted net income attributable to IDEX divided by the diluted weighted average shares outstanding.
• EBITDA is calculated as net income plus interest expense plus provision for income taxes plus depreciation and amortization. The Company reconciles EBITDA to net income on a consolidated basis as IDEX does not allocate consolidated interest expense or consolidated provision for income taxes to its segments.
• EBITDA interest coverage is calculated as EBITDA divided by consolidated interest expense.
• Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as EBITDA plus fair value inventory step-up charges plus restructuring expenses and asset impairments less gains on sales of assets.
• Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated as adjusted EBITDA divided by net sales.
• Adjusted EBITDA interest coverage is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA divided by consolidated interest expense.
• Free cash flow is calculated as cash flow from operating activities less capital expenditures.
