NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of IDEX Corporation (“IDEX” or the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The statements are unaudited but include all adjustments, consisting only of recurring items, except as noted, that the Company considers necessary for a fair presentation of the information set forth herein. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year.

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations set forth in this report should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-09 which introduces a new five-step revenue recognition model. Under ASU 2014-09, an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This ASU also requires disclosures sufficient to enable users to understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers, including qualitative and quantitative disclosures about contracts with customers, significant judgments and changes in judgments, and assets recognized from the costs to obtain or fulfill a contract. This standard was initially released as effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016; however, the FASB has tentatively decided to defer the effective date of ASU 2014-09 for one year. The new guidelines can be implemented using either of the following transition methods: (i) a full retrospective approach reflecting the application of the standard in each prior reporting period with the option to elect certain practical expedients, or (ii) a retrospective approach with the cumulative effect of initially adopting ASU 2014-09 recognized at the date of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance on our consolidated financial statements and has not yet determined the method by which we will adopt the standard.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03 which simplifies the presentation of debt issuance costs. Under ASU 2015-03, an entity presents such costs in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the related debt liability rather than as an asset. Amortization of the costs is reported as interest expense. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance on our consolidated financial statements and does not expect it to have a material impact on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

2. Acquisitions

All of the Company’s acquisitions have been accounted for under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, Business Combinations. Accordingly, the accounts of the acquired companies, after adjustments to reflect fair values assigned to assets and liabilities, have been included in the Company's consolidated financial statements from their respective dates of acquisition.

The Company incurred $0.2 million of acquisition-related transaction costs in the three months ended March 31, 2015. These costs were recorded in selling, general and administrative expense and were related to completed transactions, pending transactions and potential transactions, including transactions that ultimately were not completed.

2014 Acquisitions

On April 28, 2014, the Company acquired the stock of Aegis Flow Technologies ("Aegis"), a leader in the design, manufacture and sale of specialty chemical processing valves for use in the chemical, petro-chemical, chlor-alkali, pharmaceutical, semiconductor and pulp/paper industries. Located in Geismar, Louisiana, Aegis will operate in our Chemical, Food & Process platform within our Fluid & Metering Technologies segment. Aegis was acquired for cash consideration of approximately $25.0 million. The entire purchase price was funded with borrowings under the Company's revolving credit facility. Goodwill and intangible assets recognized as part of this transaction were $7.7 million and $8.8 million, respectively. The $7.7 million of goodwill is deductible for tax purposes.

4. Earnings Per Common Share

Earnings per common share (“EPS”) are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock (basic) plus common stock equivalents outstanding (diluted) during the period. Common stock equivalents consist of stock options, which have been included in the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding using the treasury stock method, unvested shares, performance share units, and shares issuable in connection with certain deferred compensation agreements (“DCUs”).

ASC 260 “Earnings Per Share” provides that all outstanding unvested share-based payment awards that contain rights to nonforfeitable dividends participate in undistributed earnings with common shareholders. If awards are considered participating securities, the Company is required to apply the two-class method of computing basic and diluted earnings per share. The Company

Table of Contents

IDEX CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Amounts in thousands except share data and where otherwise indicated)

(unaudited)

has determined that its outstanding unvested shares are participating securities. Accordingly, earnings per common share are computed using the more dilutive of the treasury stock method and the two-class method prescribed by ASC 260. For purposes of calculating diluted EPS, net income attributable to common shareholders was reduced by $0.3 million and $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Basic weighted average shares reconciles to diluted weighted average shares as follows:



	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2015	2014
Basic weighted average common shares outstanding	77,996	80,527
Dilutive effect of stock options, unvested shares, performance share units and DCUs	860	1,048
Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding	78,856	81,575

Options to purchase approximately 0.9 million and 0.5 million shares of common stock for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because the effect of their inclusion would be antidilutive.

5. Inventories

The components of inventories as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 were:



	March 31, 2015		December 31, 2014
Raw materials and component parts	$	140,239	$	137,584
Work in process	40,311		37,178
Finished goods	63,015		62,869
Total	$	243,565	$	237,631

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost, which includes material, labor, and factory overhead, is determined on a FIFO basis.

6. Goodwill and Intangible Assets

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the three months ended March 31, 2015, by reportable business segment, were as follows:



	Fluid & Metering Technologies			Health & Science Technologies			Fire & Safety/ Diversified Products			Total
Balance at December 31, 2014	$	524,149		$	563,465		$	233,663		$	1,321,277
Foreign currency translation	(9,388		)	(5,209		)	(12,912		)	(27,509		)
Balance at March 31, 2015	$	514,761		$	558,256		$	220,751		$	1,293,768

ASC 350 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” requires that goodwill be tested for impairment at the reporting unit level on an annual basis and between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying value. Annually on October 31, goodwill and other acquired intangible assets with indefinite lives are tested for impairment. The Company did not consider there to be any triggering event that would require an interim impairment assessment, therefore none of the goodwill or other acquired intangible assets with indefinite lives were tested for impairment during the three months ended March 31, 2015. Based on the results of our annual impairment test at October 31, 2014, all reporting units had a fair value that was more than 100% greater than the carrying value, except for our IDEX Optics and Photonics ("IOP") reporting unit, which had a fair value approximately 15% greater than the carrying value.

9. Borrowings

Borrowings at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 consisted of the following:



	March 31, 2015		December 31, 2014
Revolving Facility	$	170,000	$	115,000
2.58% Senior Euro Notes, due June 2015	87,885		98,456

Less current portion	88,350		98,946
Total long-term borrowings	$	819,863	$	765,006

The Company maintains a $700.0 million revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Facility") with a maturity date of June 27, 2016. Up to $75.0 million of the Revolving Facility is available for the issuance of letters of credit, and up to $25.0 million is available to the Company for swing line loans, available on a same-day basis.

Proceeds from the Revolving Facility are available for working capital, acquisitions and other general corporate purposes, including refinancing existing debt of the Company and its subsidiaries.

Borrowings under the Revolving Facility bear interest, at either an alternate base rate or an adjusted LIBOR rate plus, in each case, an applicable margin. This applicable margin is based on the Company’s senior, unsecured, long-term debt rating and can range from .875% to 1.70%. Based on the Company’s credit rating at March 31, 2015, the applicable margin was 1.05%. Interest is payable (a) in the case of base rate loans, quarterly, and (b) in the case of LIBOR rate loans, on the maturity date of the borrowing, or quarterly from the effective date for borrowings exceeding three months. An annual Revolving Facility fee, also based on the Company’s credit rating, is currently 20 basis points and is payable quarterly.

At March 31, 2015, $170.0 million was outstanding under the Revolving Facility, with $7.1 million of outstanding letters of credit, resulting in net available borrowing capacity under the Revolving Facility at March 31, 2015 of approximately $522.9 million.

At March 31, 2015, the Company included the outstanding balance of the 2.58% Senior Euro Notes, $87.9 million, within Current liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as the maturity date is within twelve months and the Company expects to repay the principal balance using cash on the balance sheet.

Other borrowings of $1.9 million at March 31, 2015 consisted primarily of debt at international locations maintained for working capital purposes. Interest is payable on the outstanding debt balances at rates ranging from 0.2% to 1.3% per annum.

coverage ratio of 3.0 to 1 and a maximum leverage ratio of 3.25 to 1. At March 31, 2015, the Company was in compliance with both of these financial covenants. There are no financial covenants relating to the 4.5% Senior Notes or 4.2% Senior Notes; however, both are subject to cross-default provisions.

10. Derivative Instruments

The Company enters into cash flow hedges from time to time to reduce the exposure to variability in certain expected future cash flows. The type of cash flow hedges the Company enters into includes foreign currency contracts and interest rate exchange agreements that effectively convert a portion of floating-rate debt to fixed-rate debt and are designed to reduce the impact of interest rate changes on future interest expense.

The effective portion of gains or losses on interest rate exchange agreements is reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in shareholders’ equity and reclassified into net income in the same period or periods in which the hedged transaction affects net income. See Note 13 for the amount of loss reclassified into income for interest rate contracts for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014. The remaining gain or loss in excess of the cumulative change in the present value of future cash flows or the hedged item, if any, is recognized into net income during the period of change.

Fair values relating to derivative financial instruments reflect the estimated amounts that the Company would receive or pay to sell or buy the contracts based on quoted market prices of comparable contracts at each balance sheet date. As of March 31, 2015, the Company did not have any interest rate contracts outstanding.

In 2010 and 2011, the Company entered into two separate forward starting interest rate contracts in anticipation of the issuance of the 4.2% Senior Notes and the 4.5% Senior Notes. The Company cash settled these two interest rate contracts in 2010 and 2011 for a total of $68.9 million, which is being amortized into interest expense over the 10 year term of the debt instruments. Approximately $7.0 million of the pre-tax amount included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in shareholders’ equity at March 31, 2015 will be recognized to net income over the next 12 months as the underlying hedged transactions are realized.

11. Fair Value Measurements

ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” defines fair value, provides guidance for measuring fair value and requires certain disclosures. This standard discusses valuation techniques, such as the market approach (comparable market prices), the income approach (present value of future income or cash flow), and the cost approach (cost to replace the service capacity of an asset or replacement cost). The standard utilizes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The following is a brief description of those three levels:


•	Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.


•	Level 2: Inputs, other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.


•	Level 3: Unobservable inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions.

The following table summarizes the basis used to measure the Company’s financial assets at fair value on a recurring basis in the balance sheet at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014:



	Basis of Fair Value Measurements
	Balance at March 31, 2015		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Money market investment	$	27,933	$	27,933	$	—	$	—
Available for sale securities	5,079		5,079		—		—

There were no transfers of assets or liabilities between Level 1 and Level 2 during the quarter ended March 31, 2015 or the year ended December 31, 2014.

The carrying value of our cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximates their fair values because of the short term nature of these instruments. At March 31, 2015, the fair value of the outstanding indebtedness under our Revolving Facility, 2.58% Senior Euro Notes, 4.5% Senior Notes and 4.2% Senior Notes, based on quoted market prices and current market rates for debt with similar credit risk and maturity, was approximately $944.7 million compared to the carrying value of $906.3 million. This fair value measurement is classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy since it is determined based upon significant inputs observable in the market, including interest rates on recent financing transactions to entities with a credit rating similar to ours.

12. Restructuring

During 2014, the Company recorded restructuring costs as a part of restructuring initiatives that support the implementation of key strategic efforts designed to facilitate long-term, sustainable, growth through cost reduction actions, primarily consisting of employee reductions and facility rationalization. The costs incurred related to these initiatives were included in Restructuring expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations while the related accruals were included in Accrued expenses in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Severance costs primarily consisted of severance benefits through payroll continuation, COBRA subsidies, outplacement services, conditional separation costs and employer tax liabilities, while exit costs primarily consisted of asset disposals or impairments and lease exit costs.

Restructuring accruals of $1.6 million and $6.1 million at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, are recorded in Accrued liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Severance benefits are expected to be paid by the end of 2015 using cash from operations. The changes in the restructuring accrual for the three months ended March 31, 2015 are as follows:



Balance at January 1, 2015	$	6,056
Payments, utilization and other	(4,424		)
Balance at March 31, 2015	$	1,632

On November 6, 2014, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a $400.0 million increase in the authorized level for repurchases of common stock. Repurchases will be funded with future cash flow generation or borrowings available under the Revolving Facility. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company purchased a total of 830 thousand shares at a cost of $62.1 million, of which $2.7 million was settled in April 2015. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company purchased 551 thousand shares at a cost of $40.1 million, of which $2.6 million was settled in April 2014. As of March 31, 2015, the amount of share repurchase authorization remaining is $483.3 million.

At March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company had 150 million shares of authorized common stock, with a par value of $.01 per share, and 5 million shares of authorized preferred stock, with a par value of $.01 per share. No preferred stock was outstanding at March 31, 2015 or December 31, 2014.

15. Share-Based Compensation

During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company granted approximately 0.4 million stock options, 0.1 million unvested shares and 0.1 million performance share units. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company granted approximately 0.5 million stock options, 0.1 million unvested shares and 0.1 million performance share units.

Weighted average option fair values and assumptions for the periods specified are disclosed below. The fair value of each option grant was estimated on the date of the grant using the Binomial lattice option pricing model.

Total expense before income taxes	1,342			661
Income tax benefit	(430		)	(186		)
Total expense after income taxes	$	912		$	475

The Company’s policy is to recognize compensation cost on a straight-line basis, assuming forfeitures, over the requisite service period for the entire award. Classification of stock compensation cost within the Consolidated Statements of Operations is consistent with classification of cash compensation for the same employees.

As of March 31, 2015, there was $15.0 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options that is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.6 years, $13.5 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested shares/units that is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.2 years, and $10.1 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to performance share units that is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.2 years.

18. Income Taxes

The Company’s provision for income taxes is based upon estimated annual tax rates for the year applied to federal, state and foreign income. The provision for income taxes decreased to $26.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2015 from $29.7 million in the same period of 2014. The effective tax rate increased to 29.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to 28.5% in the same period of 2014 due to the mix of global pre-tax income among jurisdictions. Additionally, the effective tax rate for the first three months of 2014 was favorably impacted by settlements with taxing authorities primarily related to purchase price adjustments for prior period acquisitions.

The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and various state and foreign jurisdictions. Due to the potential for resolution of federal, state and foreign examinations, and the expiration of various statutes of limitation, it is reasonably possible that the Company’s gross unrecognized tax benefits balance may change within the next twelve months by a range of zero to $1.5 million.

19. Subsequent Events

On April 20, 2015, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Novotema, SpA, ("Novotema") a leader in the design, manufacture and sale of specialty sealing solutions for a purchase price of approximately $61 million (€57 million). The acquisition is subject to customary closing conditions, including receipt of regulatory approvals, and is expected to be completed within 45 days. Located in Vilongo, Italy, Novotema had revenues of $32 million in the most recent completed fiscal year and is expected to become part of the Company's Sealing Solutions group within the Health & Science Technologies segment.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Cautionary Statement Under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act

This quarterly report on Form 10-Q, including the “Overview and Outlook” and the “Liquidity and Capital Resources” sections of this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These statements relate to, among other things, operating results and are indicated by words or phrases such as “expects,” "anticipates," “should,” “will,” and similar words or phrases. These statements are subject to inherent uncertainties and risks that could cause actual results to differ materially from those statements. The risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those risks and uncertainties identified under the heading “Risk Factors” in item 1A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, and information contained in subsequent reports filed by IDEX with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Investors are cautioned not to rely unduly on forward-looking statements when evaluating the information presented here.

Overview and Outlook

IDEX is an applied solutions company specializing in fluid and metering technologies, health and science technologies, and fire, safety and other diversified products built to customers’ specifications. IDEX’s products are sold in niche markets to a wide range of industries throughout the world. Accordingly, IDEX's businesses are affected by levels of industrial activity and economic conditions in the U.S. and in other countries where it does business and by the relationship of the U.S. dollar to other currencies. Levels of capacity utilization and capital spending in certain industries and overall industrial activity are among the factors that influence the demand for IDEX’s products.

The Company has three reportable business segments: Fluid & Metering Technologies, Health & Science Technologies and Fire & Safety/Diversified Products. Within our three reportable segments, the Company maintains six platforms, where we will invest in organic growth and acquisitions with a strategic view towards a platform with the potential for at least $500 million in revenue, and seven groups, where we will focus on organic growth and strategic acquisitions. The Fluid & Metering Technologies segment contains the Energy, Water (comprised of Water Services & Technology and Diaphragm & Dosing Pump Technology), and Chemical, Food & Process platforms as well as the Agricultural group (comprised of Banjo). The Health & Science Technologies segment contains the IDEX Optics & Photonics, Scientific Fluidics and Material Processing Technologies platforms, as well as the Sealing Solutions and the Industrial groups (comprised of Micropump and Gast). The Fire & Safety/Diversified Products segment is comprised of the Dispensing, Rescue, Band-It, and Fire Suppression groups. Each platform/group is comprised of one or more of our 15 reporting units: five reporting units within Fluid & Metering Technologies (Energy; Chemical, Food, & Process; Water Services & Technology; Banjo; and Diaphragm & Dosing Pump Technology); six reporting units within Health & Science Technologies (IDEX Optics and Photonics; Scientific Fluidics; Material Processing Technologies; Sealing Solutions; Micropump; and Gast); and four reporting units within Fire & Safety/Diversified Products (Dispensing, Rescue, Band-It, and Fire Suppression).

The Health & Science Technologies segment designs, produces and distributes a wide range of precision fluidics, rotary lobe pumps, centrifugal and positive displacement pumps, roll compaction and drying systems used in beverage, food processing, pharmaceutical and cosmetics, pneumatic components and sealing solutions, very high precision, low-flow rate pumping solutions required in analytical instrumentation, clinical diagnostics and drug discovery, high performance molded and extruded, biocompatible medical devices and implantables, air compressors used in medical, dental and industrial applications, optical components and coatings for applications in the fields of scientific research, defense, biotechnology, aerospace, telecommunications and electronics manufacturing, laboratory and commercial equipment used in the production of micro and nano scale materials, precision photonic solutions used in life sciences, research and defense markets, and precision gear and peristaltic pump technologies that meet exacting original equipment manufacturer specifications.

The Fire & Safety/Diversified Products segment produces firefighting pumps and controls, rescue tools, lifting bags and other components and systems for the fire and rescue industry, and engineered stainless steel banding and clamping devices used in a variety of industrial and commercial applications, precision equipment for dispensing, metering and mixing colorants and paints used in a variety of retail and commercial businesses around the world.

Management’s primary measurements of segment performance are sales, operating income, and operating margin. In addition, due to the highly acquisitive nature of the Company, the determination of operating income includes amortization of acquired intangible assets and, as a result, management reviews depreciation and amortization as a percentage of sales. These measures are

monitored by management and significant changes in operating results versus current trends in end markets and variances from forecasts are analyzed with segment management.

In this report, references to organic sales, a non-GAAP measure, refers to sales from continuing operations calculated according to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States but excludes (1) sales from acquired businesses during the first twelve months of ownership and (2) the impact of foreign currency translation. The portion of sales attributable to foreign currency translation is calculated as the difference between (a) the period-to-period change in organic sales and (b) the period-to-period change in organic sales after applying prior period foreign exchange rates to the current year period. Management believes that reporting organic sales provides useful information to investors by helping identify underlying growth trends in our business and facilitating easier comparisons of our revenue performance with prior and future periods and to our peers. The Company excludes the effect of foreign currency translation from organic sales because foreign currency translation is not under management’s control, is subject to volatility and can obscure underlying business trends. The Company excludes the effect of acquisitions because the nature, size, and number of acquisitions can vary dramatically from period to period and between the Company and its peers and can also obscure underlying business trends and make comparisons of long-term performance difficult. In addition, this report references EBITDA. This non-GAAP measure has been reconciled to net income and operating income in this Item 2 under the heading "Non-GAAP Disclosures." Given the acquisitive nature of the Company, management believes that EBITDA provides important information about the performance of the Company's businesses by, among other matters, eliminating the impact of higher amortization expense at recently acquired businesses.

The non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by the Company should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and the financial results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and the reconciliations from these results should be carefully evaluated.

Some of our key financial highlights for the three months ended March 31, 2015 are as follows:


•	Sales of $502.2 million decreased 8%; organic sales — excluding acquisitions and foreign currency translation — were down 4%.


•	EBITDA of $122.0 million was over 24 percent of sales and covered interest expense by more than 11 times


•	Operating income of $101.8 million decreased 11%.


•	Net income decreased 12% to $66.0 million.


•	Diluted EPS of $0.84 decreased 7 cents, or 8%.

Given the Company’s current outlook we are projecting second quarter 2015 diluted EPS is in the range of $0.88 to $0.90 with full year 2015 diluted EPS of $3.50 to $3.60.

The following is a discussion and analysis of our results of operations for the three month periods ended March 31, 2015 and 2014. Segment operating income and EBITDA excludes unallocated corporate operating expenses.

outside the U.S. represented approximately 50% of total sales in the first three months of 2015, compared to 48% during the same period of 2014.

Gross profit of $226.0 million in the first three months of 2015 decreased $18.4 million, or 8%, from the same period in 2014. Gross margin of 45.0% in the first three months of 2015 increased slightly from 44.9% during the same period in 2014. The increase in gross margin primarily resulted from benefits of the Company’s restructuring actions taken in the prior year.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to $124.3 million in the first three months of 2015 from $130.6 million during the same period of 2014. The change reflects a decrease in volume related expenses of $7.7 million partially offset by an increase of approximately $1.4 million of incremental costs from the Aegis acquisition. As a percentage of sales, SG&A expenses were 24.7% for the first three months of 2015 compared to 24.0% during the same period of 2014.

Operating income of $101.8 million in the first three months of 2015 was down from the $113.8 million recorded during the same period in 2014, primarily reflecting a decrease in volume partially offset by improved productivity, including benefits from our 2014 restructuring actions. Operating margin of 20.3% in the first three months of 2015 was down from 20.9% during the same period of 2014, primarily due to the fulfillment of a large Dispensing order in the prior year period.

Other income - net of $1.7 million in the first three months of 2015 increased $0.9 million compared with the same period in 2014, primarily due to favorable gains on foreign currency transactions.

The provision for income taxes is based upon estimated annual tax rates for the year applied to federal, state and foreign income. The provision for income taxes of $26.9 million for the first three months of 2015 decreased compared to $29.7 million recorded in the same period of 2014. The effective tax rate increased slightly to 29.0% for the first three months of 2015 compared to 28.5% in the same period of 2014 due to the mix of global pre-tax income among jurisdictions. Additionally, the effective tax rate for the first three months of 2014 was favorably impacted by settlements with taxing authorities primarily related to purchase price adjustments for prior period acquisitions.

Net income in the first three months of 2015 of $66.0 million decreased from $74.5 million during the same period of 2014. Diluted earnings per share in the first three months of 2015 of $0.84 decreased $0.07, or 8%, compared with the same period in 2014.

Net sales	$	218,248		$	223,361
Operating income	55,898			56,407
Operating margin	25.6		%	25.3		%

Sales of $218.2 million decreased $5.1 million, or 2%, in the first three months of 2015 compared with the same period of 2014. This reflects a 1% increase in organic sales, a 1% favorable impact from acquisitions (Aegis - April 2014) and 4% unfavorable foreign currency translation. In the first three months of 2015, organic sales decreased 1% domestically and increased 2% internationally compared to the same period in 2014. Organic sales to customers outside the U.S. were approximately 44% of total segment sales during the first three months of 2015 compared to 43% during the same period of 2014.

Sales within our Energy platform decreased in the first three months of 2015 compared to the same period of 2014 primarily due to the decline in oil prices and delay of large capital projects, as well as the negative impact of foreign currency translation. Sales within our Chemical, Food & Process platform increased compared to the first three months of 2014 based on strong demand from chemical and petrochemical industries in both North American and European end markets and the impact from the Aegis acquisition, partially offset by the negative impact of foreign currency translation. Sales within our Agricultural group decreased due to the soft OEM market and the larger than anticipated deterioration in the after-market and distribution business. Diaphragm & Dosing Pump Technology sales were flat compared to the first three months of 2014 as weakness in the North American oil and gas markets was offset by petrochemical demand. Sales in Water Services & Technology were down slightly in the first three months of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 based on the success of new products and municipal spending uptick, offset by the negative impact of the strong US dollar.

Operating income of $55.9 million was slightly lower than the $56.4 million recorded in the first three months of 2014, primarily due to decreased volume partially offset by productivity and the benefits from our 2014 restructuring actions. Operating margin of 25.6% was higher than the 25.3% recorded in the first three months of 2014, primarily due to improved productivity including benefits from our 2014 restructuring actions, partially offset by decreased volume.

Net sales	$	179,120		$	186,375
Operating income	37,457			36,229
Operating margin	20.9		%	19.4		%

Sales of $179.1 million decreased $7.3 million, or 4%, in the first three months of 2015 compared with the same period in 2014. This decrease reflects flat organic sales growth and was mainly attributable to unfavorable foreign currency translation. In the first three months of 2015, organic sales decreased 2% domestically and increased 1% internationally. Organic sales to customers outside the U.S. were approximately 54% of total segment sales in the first three months of 2015 compared with 52% during the same period in 2014.

Sales within our Material Processing Technologies platform decreased compared to the first three months of 2014 due to a decline in large project based business in both North American and Asian markets as well as the negative impact of foreign currency translation. Sales within our Scientific Fluidics platform were down slightly compared to the first three months of 2014 due to strong demand in the analytical instrumentation market, offset by the negative impact of foreign currency translation. Sales within the Sealing Solutions group increased compared to the first three months of 2014 primarily due to the growth in the semiconductor market, partially offset by the negative impact of foreign currency translation. Sales within our Optics and Photonics platform decreased compared to the first three months of 2014 due to softness in the biomedical and defense markets, partially offset by a recovering semiconductor market. Sales within our Industrial group decreased compared to the first three months of 2014, primarily due to a sluggish market in China, but partially offset by sales growth in the North American distribution market.

Operating income and operating margin of $37.5 million and 20.9%, respectively, in the first three months of 2015 were up from the $36.2 million and 19.4% recorded in the same period of 2014, primarily due to improved productivity including benefits from our 2014 restructuring actions, partially offset by decreased volume.

Fire & Safety/Diversified Products Segment

Net sales	$	106,622		$	137,284
Operating income	27,162			39,648
Operating margin	25.5		%	28.9		%

Sales of $106.6 million decreased $30.7 million, or 22%, in the first three months of 2015 compared with the same period in 2014. This reflects a decline in organic revenue of 16% mainly due to the fulfillment of a large dispensing project in the prior year period and 6% unfavorable foreign currency translation. In the first three months of 2015, organic sales decreased 32% domestically and increased 1% internationally, compared with the same period in 2014. Organic sales to customers outside the U.S. were approximately 57% of total segment sales in the first three months of 2015 compared to 47% during the same period of 2014.

Sales within our Dispensing group decreased compared to the first three months of 2014 primarily as a result of fulfilling a large Dispensing project in 2014. Sales within our Band-It group were flat compared to the first three months of 2014 driven by weakness in the downhole oil and gas markets, offset by strength in the North American transportation market. Sales within our Fire Suppression group increased due to stable project orders in China and North America. Sales within our Rescue group decreased due to negative foreign currency translation.

Operating income and operating margin of $27.2 million and 25.5%, respectively, in the first three months of 2015 were lower than the $39.6 million and 28.9% recorded in the first three months of 2014, primarily due to lower volume, partially offset by benefits from our 2014 restructuring actions.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Operating Activities

Table of Contents

At March 31, 2015, the Company's cash and cash equivalents totaled $494.5 million, of which $391.2 million was held outside of the United States. At March 31, 2015, working capital was $721.4 million and the current ratio was 3.0 to 1. Cash flows from operating activities for the first three months of 2015 decreased $24.8 million, or 33%, to $49.4 million compared to the first three months of 2014, due to severance payments, the timing of defined contribution pension plan payments and lower earnings.

Investing Activities

Cash flows used in investing activities for the first three months of 2015 decreased $0.7 million, or 6% to $10.1 million compared to the same period of 2014, primarily due to lower capital expenditures.

Cash flows provided by operating activities were more than adequate to fund capital expenditures of $10.1 million and $10.8 million in the first three months of 2015 and 2014, respectively. Capital expenditures were generally for machinery and equipment that improved productivity, tooling, business system technology, replacement of equipment and investments in new facilities. Management believes the Company has sufficient capacity in its plants and equipment to meet expected needs for future growth.

Financing Activities

Cash flows used in financing activities for the first three months of 2015 decreased $23.2 million, or 54% to $20.1 million compared to the same period of 2014, primarily as a result of increased borrowings, net of payments, offset by an increase in dividends paid and an increase in purchases of common stock.

The Company maintains the Revolving Facility, which is a $700.0 million unsecured, multi-currency bank credit facility expiring on June 27, 2016. At March 31, 2015, there were $170.0 million of outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Facility and outstanding letters of credit totaled approximately $7.1 million. The net available borrowing capacity under the Revolving Facility at March 31, 2015, was approximately $522.9 million. Borrowings under the Revolving Facility bear interest, at either an alternate base rate or an adjusted LIBOR rate plus, in each case, an applicable margin. Such applicable margin is based on the Company’s senior, unsecured, long-term debt rating and can range from .875% to 1.70%. Based on the Company’s credit rating at March 31, 2015, the applicable margin was 1.05%. Interest is payable (a) in the case of base rate loans, quarterly, and (b) in the case of LIBOR rate loans, on the maturity date of the borrowing, or quarterly from the effective date for borrowings exceeding three months. An annual Revolving Facility fee, also based on the Company’s credit rating, is currently 20 basis points and is payable quarterly.

At March 31, 2015, the Company included the outstanding balance of the 2.58% Senior Euro Notes, $87.9 million within Current liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as the maturity date is within twelve months and the Company expects to repay the principal balance using cash on the balance sheet.

There are two key financial covenants that the Company is required to maintain in connection with the Revolving Facility and 2.58% Senior Euro Notes. The most restrictive financial covenants under these debt instruments require a minimum interest coverage ratio of 3.0 to 1 and a maximum leverage ratio of 3.25 to 1. At March 31, 2015, the Company was in compliance with both of these financial covenants, as the Company’s interest coverage ratio was 12.39 to 1 and the leverage ratio was 1.82 to 1. There are no financial covenants relating to the 4.5% Senior Notes or 4.2% Senior Notes; however, both are subject to cross-default provisions.

On November 6, 2014, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a $400.0 million increase in the authorized level for repurchases of common stock. Repurchases under the program will be funded with future cash flow generation or borrowings available under the Revolving Facility. During the first three months of 2015, the Company purchased a total of 0.8 million shares at a cost of $62.1 million, of which $2.7 million was settled in April 2015. As of March 31, 2015, the amount of share repurchase authorization remaining is $483.3 million.

The Company believes current cash, cash from operations and cash available under the Revolving Facility will be sufficient to meet its operating cash requirements, planned capital expenditures, principal payments on the 2.58% Senior Euro notes, interest on all borrowings, pension and postretirement funding requirements, expected share repurchases and annual dividend payments to holders of the Company’s stock for the remainder of 2015. Additionally, in the event that suitable businesses are available for acquisition upon acceptable terms, the Company may obtain all or a portion of the financing for these acquisitions through the incurrence of additional borrowings. As of March 31, 2015, $170.0 million was outstanding under the Revolving Facility, with $7.1 million of outstanding letters of credit, resulting in net available borrowing capacity under the Revolving Facility at March 31, 2015 of approximately $522.9 million.

Non-GAAP Disclosures

The following is a reconciliation of EBITDA to the comparable measures of net income and operating income, as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We have reconciled consolidated EBITDA to net income and we have reconciled segment EBITDA to segment operating income, as we do not allocate interest and income taxes to our segments. EBITDA means earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Given the acquisitive nature of the Company which results in a higher level of amortization expense at recently acquired businesses, management uses EBITDA, in addition to operating income, to provide it with another way to measure financial performance of businesses across our three segments. Management also uses EBITDA for enterprise valuation purposes. We believe that EBITDA is also useful to some investors as an indicator of the strength and performance of the Company's and its segment's ongoing business operations and a way to evaluate and compare operating performance and value companies within our industry. However, it should not be considered as an alternative to net income, operating income or any other items calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The definition of EBITDA used here may differ from that used by other companies.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

The Company is subject to market risk associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. The Company may, from time to time, enter into foreign currency forward contracts and interest rate swaps on its debt when it believes there is a financial advantage in doing so. A treasury risk management policy, adopted by the Board of Directors, provides for procedures and controls over derivative financial and commodity instruments, including foreign currency forward contracts and interest rate swaps. Under the policy, the Company does not use derivative financial or commodity instruments for trading purposes, and the use of these instruments is subject to strict approvals by senior officers. Typically, the use of derivative instruments is limited to foreign currency forward contracts and interest rate swaps on the Company’s outstanding long-term debt.

The Company’s foreign currency exchange rate risk is limited principally to the Euro, British Pound, Canadian Dollar, Japanese Yen, Indian Rupee and Chinese Renminbi. The Company manages its foreign exchange risk principally through invoicing customers in the same currency as the source of products. The effect of transaction gains and losses is reported within other (income) expense -net on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The Company’s interest rate exposure is primarily related to the $908.2 million of total debt outstanding at March 31, 2015. Approximately 19% of the debt, representing the amount drawn on the Revolving Facility at March 31, 2015, is priced at interest rates that float with the market. A 50 basis point movement in the interest rate on the floating rate debt would result in an approximate $0.9 million annualized increase or decrease in interest expense and cash flows. The remaining debt is fixed rate debt.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on the foregoing, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded as of March 31, 2015, that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

There has been no change in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during the Company’s most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION


Item 1.	Legal Proceedings.

The Company and six of its subsidiaries are presently named as defendants in a number of lawsuits claiming various asbestos-related personal injuries, allegedly as a result of exposure to products manufactured with components that contained asbestos. These components were acquired from third party suppliers, and were not manufactured by any of the subsidiaries. To date, the majority of the Company’s settlements and legal costs, except for costs of coordination, administration, insurance investigation and a portion of defense costs, have been covered in full by insurance, subject to applicable deductibles. However, the Company cannot predict whether and to what extent insurance will be available to continue to cover these settlements and legal costs, or how insurers may respond to claims that are tendered to them. Claims have been filed in jurisdictions throughout the United States. Most of the claims resolved to date have been dismissed without payment. The balance have been settled for various insignificant amounts. Only one case has been tried, resulting in a verdict for the Company’s business unit. No provision has been made in the financial statements of the Company, other than for insurance deductibles in the ordinary course, and the Company does not currently believe the asbestos-related claims will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

The Company is also party to various other legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, none of which is expected to have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

On November 6, 2014, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had increased the authorized level for repurchases of its common stock by $400.0 million. This followed the prior Board of Directors repurchase authorizations of $300 million, announced by the Company on November 8, 2013; $200.0 million, announced by the Company on October 22, 2012; $50.0 million, announced by the Company on December 6, 2011; and the original repurchase authorization of $125.0 million announced by the Company on April 21, 2008.
