IDEX REPORTS RECORD FIRST QUARTER RESULTS;
Q1 ORDERS AND SALES UP 11 PERCENT OVERALL AND 7 PERCENT ORGANICALLY;
Q1 REPORTED EPS WAS $1.27 WITH ADJUSTED EPS OF $1.29
LAKE FOREST, IL, APRIL 30 - IDEX Corporation (NYSE: IEX) today announced its financial results for the three month period ended March 31, 2018.
First Quarter 2018 Highlights
| |
• | Orders and sales were both up 11 percent overall and 7 percent organically |
| |
• | Reported operating margin was 22.3 percent with adjusted operating margin of 22.6 percent, up 80 bps |
| |
• | Reported EPS was $1.27 with adjusted EPS of $1.29, up 25 percent |
| |
• | Full year adjusted EPS guidance raised to $5.05 to $5.20 |
First Quarter 2018
Orders of $632.2 million were up 11 percent compared with the prior year period (+7 percent organic and +4 percent foreign currency translation).
Sales of $612.3 million were up 11 percent compared with the prior year period (+7 percent organic and +4 percent foreign currency translation).
Gross margin of 45.2 percent was down 10 basis points compared with the prior year period primarily due to continued engineering investments, but up 70 basis points sequentially as the operational challenges within HST noted in the second half of 2017 have subsided.
Operating income of $136.7 million resulted in an operating margin of 22.3 percent. Excluding $1.6 million of restructuring expenses, adjusted operating income was $138.3 million with an adjusted operating margin of 22.6 percent, up 80 basis points from the prior year period adjusted operating margin. Adjusted operating income drove adjusted EBITDA of $163.8 million which was 27 percent of sales and covered interest expense by 15 times.
Provision for income taxes in the first quarter of 2018 of $31.2 million resulted in an effective tax rate (ETR) of 24.0 percent, which was lower than the prior year period ETR of 27.3 percent primarily due to the enactment of the 2017 tax reform. The first quarter 2018 ETR of 24.0 percent was higher than our previously guided ETR of 22.5 percent principally due to recent IRS interpretations of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.
Net income was $99.0 million which resulted in EPS of $1.27. Excluding restructuring expenses, adjusted EPS of $1.29 increased 26 cents, or 25 percent, from prior year period adjusted EPS.
Cash from operations of $71.7 million led to free cash flow of $61.7 million, which was down 18 percent from the prior year period and 62 percent of adjusted net income. The decrease in free cash flow was primarily due to higher operating working capital, specifically receivables and inventory associated with timing of sales in the quarter and stronger than expected demand.
|
| |
“Organic order and revenue growth of 7 percent combined with solid execution drove a record first quarter for IDEX. First quarter results delivered all-time highs in orders, sales, operating income and EPS on top of the record fourth quarter we just experienced. We generated $20 million of backlog during the quarter led by organic order growth of 8 percent in HST and 7 percent in FMT. Adjusted operating margins expanded over 100 basis points across all three segments.
|
| |
We are very pleased with our organic growth over the past several quarters and remain committed to funding the best opportunities across the company. We are steadfast with our capital deployment strategy. M&A is a priority and we continue to have a strong acquisition funnel. Last week, the Board approved raising the dividend 16 percent which takes us towards the high end of our stated goal of distributing 30 to 35 percent of earnings to our shareholders.
|
| |
Based on our first quarter operating results and continued strength in order rates across the entire portfolio, we are raising our full year EPS and organic revenue guidance. We now expect full year 2018 adjusted EPS of $5.05 to $5.20 with projected second quarter EPS of $1.30 to $1.32, while delivering organic revenue growth of 5 to 6 percent for both the full year and the second quarter.”

| |
• | EBITDA of $63.8 million resulted in an EBITDA margin of 28.9 percent. Excluding $1.1 million of restructuring expenses, adjusted EBITDA of $64.9 million resulted in an adjusted EBITDA margin of 29.3 percent, a 110 basis point increase compared to the prior year period. |

| |
• | EBITDA of $46.9 million resulted in an EBITDA margin of 29.5 percent. Excluding $0.1 million of restructuring expenses, adjusted EBITDA of $47.0 million resulted in an adjusted EBITDA margin of 29.6 percent, a 320 basis point increase compared to the prior year period primarily due to transaction gains included within Other (income) expense. |
For the first quarter of 2018, Fluid & Metering Technologies contributed 38 percent of sales, 42 percent of operating income and 39 percent of EBITDA; Health & Science Technologies accounted for 36 percent of sales, 33 percent of operating income and 35 percent of EBITDA; and Fire & Safety/Diversified Products represented 26 percent of sales, 25 percent of operating income and 26 percent of EBITDA.
Corporate Costs
Corporate costs, excluding restructuring expenses, increased to $20.5 million in the first quarter of 2018 from $16.9 million in the first quarter of 2017 as a result of higher stock compensation, pension expense and outside consulting costs related to M&A and income taxes. Higher corporate costs in 2018 were the reason consolidated adjusted operating margins were only up 80 basis points even though each of the three segment adjusted operating margins expanded over 100 basis points.
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. |

Cautionary Statement Under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act; Non-GAAP Measures
This presentation and discussion will include forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended. These statements may relate to, among other things, capital expenditures,
acquisitions, cost reductions, cash flow, revenues, earnings, market conditions, global economies and operating
improvements, and are indicated by words or phrases such as “anticipates,” “estimates,” “plans,” “expects,”
“projects,” “forecasts,” “should,” “could,” “will,” “management believes,” “the company believes,” “the company
intends,” and similar words or phrases. These statements are subject to inherent uncertainties and risks that could
cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated at the date of this news release. The risks and
uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the following: economic and political consequences resulting from terrorist
attacks and wars; levels of industrial activity and economic conditions in the U.S. and other countries around the world;
pricing pressures and other competitive factors, and levels of capital spending in certain industries – all of which could
have a material impact on order rates and IDEX’s results, particularly in light of the low levels of order backlogs it
typically maintains; its ability to make acquisitions and to integrate and operate acquired businesses on a profitable
basis; the relationship of the U.S. dollar to other currencies and its impact on pricing and cost competitiveness; political
and economic conditions in foreign countries in which the company operates; interest rates; capacity utilization and the
effect this has on costs; labor markets; market conditions and material costs; and developments with respect to
contingencies, such as litigation and environmental matters. Additional factors that could cause actual results to differ
materially from those reflected in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the risks discussed in
the “Risk Factors” section included in the company’s most recent annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC and
the other risks discussed in the company’s filings with the SEC. The forward-looking statements included in this
presentation and discussion are only made as of today’s date, and management undertakes no obligation to publicly
