LAKE FOREST, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jul. 23, 2020-- IDEX Corporation (NYSE: IEX) today announced its financial results for the three month period ended June 30, 2020.

Second Quarter 2020 Highlights

• Cash from operations of $169.5 million led to record quarterly FCF of $161.1 million
• Completed a public offering of $500 million 3.0% Senior Notes
• Operating margin of 19.7%; adjusted operating margin of 21.1%
• Adjusted EBITDA margin of 25.1%

Second Quarter 2020

Orders of $521.9 million were down 17 percent compared with the prior year period (-18 percent organic, +2 percent acquisitions and -1 percent foreign currency translation).

Sales of $561.2 million were down 13 percent compared with the prior year period (-17 percent organic, +5 percent acquisitions and -1 percent foreign currency translation).

Gross margin of 41.8 percent was down 370 basis points compared with the prior year period as a result of reduced volume, business mix, the dilutive impact to margins from the recent acquisitions and a $4.1 million pre-tax fair value inventory step-up charge related to the Flow MD acquisition included in the current year period. Excluding the $4.1 million fair value inventory step-up charge, adjusted gross margin of 42.6 percent was down 290 basis points compared with the adjusted prior year period.

Operating income of $110.6 million resulted in an operating margin of 19.7 percent which was down 450 basis points compared with the prior year period as a result of lower sales volume, the dilutive impact to margins from the recent acquisitions, the fair value inventory step-up charge and higher restructuring expenses in 2020, partially offset by price, restructuring savings and an overall reduction in variable expenses. Excluding the $4.1 million fair value inventory step-up charge and $3.8 million of restructuring expenses, adjusted operating income was $118.5 million with an adjusted operating margin of 21.1 percent, down 340 basis points compared with the adjusted prior year period.

Provision for income taxes of $20.8 million in the second quarter of 2020 resulted in an effective tax rate (ETR) of 22.7 percent, which was higher than the prior year period ETR of 21.7 percent primarily due to a decrease in the excess tax benefits related to share-based compensation.

Net income was $70.9 million which resulted in EPS of $0.93. Excluding the fair value inventory step-up charge, restructuring expenses and the loss on early debt redemption, adjusted EPS was $1.10, a decrease of 40 cents, or 27 percent, from the adjusted prior year period EPS. EBITDA of $124.8 million was 22 percent of sales and covered interest expense by 10 times. Adjusted EBITDA of $141.1 million was 25 percent of sales and covered interest expense by over 11 times.

Cash from operations of $169.5 million was up 29% from the prior year period due to favorable working capital, partially offset by lower earnings in the second quarter of 2020. Cash from operations led to free cash flow of $161.1 million, which was up 36 percent from the prior year period and 193 percent of adjusted net income.

The Company repurchased 9,600 shares of common stock for $1.4 million in the second quarter of 2020 at an average price of $149.44.

“I want to thank our employees around the world for their exceptional work over the past several months under the most difficult circumstances. With safety as our first priority, these women and men continued to provide our essential products across the globe while adhering to a myriad of new safety protocols, from taking temperatures to social distancing and face coverings. The second quarter of 2020 was unprecedented, but the resiliency of our businesses and the resolve of our teams were on full display, with strong operating performance and the fast-track development of several new products to support the battle against COVID-19.
The global health pandemic continued to impact our commercial performance, with second quarter organic orders decreasing 18 percent and organic sales decreasing 17 percent. Sales of $561 million drove adjusted operating margin of 21.1 percent and adjusted EPS of $1.10. Our recent acquisitions negatively impacted adjusted gross margin and adjusted operating margin by 100 basis points and 70 basis points, respectively. As expected with the steep decline in revenue, the balance sheet delevered resulting in record quarterly free cash flow of $161 million. We ended the quarter with record cash of $746 million and nearly $800 million available under our revolving credit facility. Our balance sheet and liquidity position are key strengths and we are well positioned to deploy capital when opportunities arise.
Our business continues to demonstrate durability given the mission critical nature of our products. Our businesses and products supporting maintenance, repair and operating fared better than our businesses and products that are more reliant on the deployment of new capital. We believe we hit the bottom in the second quarter, but we still face much uncertainty regarding the future path of the economy due to the evolving global pandemic. As the timing and pace of an economic recovery are uncertain, we are unable to provide detailed financial guidance other than based on currently available information we now expect third quarter organic sales to be down approximately 12 to 17 percent versus prior year."

Corporate Costs

Corporate costs decreased to $17.2 million in the second quarter of 2020 from $19.2 million in the second quarter of 2019 primarily as a result of tightly controlling discretionary spending, restructuring savings and lower variable costs in 2020.

Debt Offering and Redemption

On April 29, 2020, the Company completed a public offering of $500.0 million 3.0% Senior Notes due May 1, 2030. The net proceeds from the offering were $494.9 million. The net proceeds were used to redeem and repay the $300.0 million 4.5% Senior Notes due December 15, 2020 and the related “make-whole” redemption premium of $6.8 million. The Company also recognized $1.6 million of deferred costs related to the 4.5% Senior Notes for a total loss on early debt redemption of $8.4 million which was recorded within Other (income) expense - net.

New Joint Venture

On May 12, 2020, a subsidiary of IDEX entered into a joint venture agreement with a third party to form a limited liability company (the "Joint Venture") that will manufacture and sell high performance elastomer seals for the oil and gas industry to customers within the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia as well as for the export market. The Company will contribute $0.6 million and will own 55% of the share capital while the third party partner will contribute $0.5 million and will own 45% of the share capital. As of June 30, 2020, the Joint Venture had not yet been funded or begun its operations. Since we will control the entity, we expect to consolidate the Joint Venture and record a noncontrolling interest in our financial statements once funding occurs and operations begin, both of which are currently expected to occur during the third quarter of 2020.

COVID-19 Impact

The Company continues to help in the fight against COVID-19 with several of our businesses playing critical roles in keeping essential activities operating. We also continue to be focused on making sure our employees are safe and our operations have the ability to deliver the products needed to support the COVID-19 battle. Most of our sites are considered essential businesses and have remained open during the pandemic. However, the virus did cause several of our sites to temporarily shut down for cleaning due to employees testing positive for COVID-19. All such sites returned to operations within a short period of time. COVID-19 and the enacted containment measures have adversely affected our business and results of operations and the businesses of our customers, who are purchasing less products in response to the economic conditions caused by COVID-19. The Company expects the months ahead will remain challenging as this global pandemic continues and, based on currently available information and management's current expectations, the Company anticipates that organic sales will be down approximately 12 to 17 percent in the third quarter of 2020. Based on management's current expectations, we believe our strong balance sheet, with over $1.5 billion of liquidity and gross leverage of 1.6 times, will provide IDEX the necessary capital to navigate the COVID-19 pandemic for the foreseeable future. Additionally, IDEX has implemented certain cost reduction actions, including employee reductions and has maintained a tight cost control environment.

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 gross profit is calculated as gross profit plus the fair value inventory step-up charge.
• Adjusted gross margin is calculated as adjusted gross profit divided by net sales.
• Adjusted operating income is calculated as operating income plus the fair value inventory step-up charge 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 the fair value inventory step-up charge plus restructuring expenses plus the loss on early debt redemption, net of the statutory tax expense or benefit.
• Adjusted EPS is calculated as adjusted net income 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. We reconcile 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 the fair value inventory step-up charge plus restructuring expenses plus the loss on early debt redemption.
• Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated as adjusted EBITDA divided by net sales.
• Free cash flow is calculated as cash flow from operating activities less capital expenditures.
