IDEX REPORTS FOURTH QUARTER AND RECORD FULL YEAR 2019 RESULTS


LAKE FOREST, IL, JANUARY 29 - IDEX Corporation (NYSE: IEX) today announced its financial results for the three- and twelve- month periods ended December 31, 2019.

Full Year 2019 Highlights
Reported operating margin was 23.2 percent with adjusted operating margin of 24.2 percent, up 80 bps
Reported EPS was $5.56 with adjusted EPS of $5.80, up 7 percent
Free cash flow was a record of $477.2 million, up 13 percent
Acquired the stock of Velcora Holding AB and its operating subsidiaries, Roplan and Steridose in July 2019

Full Year 2019

Orders of $2.5 billion were flat compared with the prior year (flat organic, +1 percent acquisition and -1 percent foreign currency translation).

Sales of $2.5 billion were flat compared with the prior year (+1 percent organic, +1 percent acquisition and -2 percent foreign currency translation).
  
Gross margin of 45.1 percent was up 10 basis points compared with the prior year primarily due to price capture and productivity initiatives, partially offset by inflation and higher engineering costs. Excluding a $3.3 million pre-tax fair value inventory step-up charge related to the Velcora acquisition, adjusted gross margin of 45.2 percent was up 20 basis points.

Operating income of $579.0 million resulted in an operating margin of 23.2 percent. Excluding the $3.3 million fair value inventory step-up charge and $21.0 million of restructuring expenses, adjusted operating income was $603.3 million with an adjusted operating margin of 24.2 percent, up 80 basis points from the prior year mainly due to price, productivity initiatives and lower variable compensation expenses. Adjusted operating income drove adjusted EBITDA of $678.5 million which was 27 percent of sales and covered interest expense by more than 15 times.

Provision for income taxes of $107.4 million resulted in an effective tax rate (ETR) of 20.2 percent, which was lower than the prior year ETR of 22.4 percent primarily due to excess tax benefits and other discrete tax benefits in 2019 and certain one-time charges related to Tax Reform incurred in 2018.

Net income was $425.5 million which resulted in EPS of $5.56. Excluding the fair value inventory step-up charge and restructuring expenses, adjusted EPS of $5.80 increased 39 cents, or 7 percent, from the prior year adjusted EPS.






Cash from operations of $528.1 million was up 10 percent from the prior year and led to free cash flow of $477.2 million, which was up 13 percent from the prior year and 107 percent of adjusted net income. The increase in free cash flow was primarily due to working capital improvements and lower capital expenditures.

The Company repurchased 389 thousand shares of common stock for $54.7 million in 2019.

Fourth Quarter 2019

Orders of $616.6 million were up 1 percent compared with the prior year period (flat organic, +2 percent acquisition and -1 percent foreign currency translation).

Sales of $606.0 million were down 1 percent compared with the prior year period (-2 percent organic, +2 percent acquisition and -1 percent foreign currency translation).
  
Gross margin of 44.0 percent was down 60 basis points compared with the prior year period primarily due to lower volume leverage, partially offset by price and productivity initiatives.

Operating income of $134.2 million resulted in an operating margin of 22.1 percent. Excluding $7.0 million of restructuring expenses, adjusted operating income was $141.2 million with an adjusted operating margin of 23.3 percent, which was flat compared to the prior year period due to lower variable compensation costs. Adjusted operating income drove adjusted EBITDA of $159.6 million which was 26 percent of sales and covered interest expense by over 14 times.

Provision for income taxes of $25.2 million resulted in an ETR of 20.6 percent, which was lower than the prior year period ETR of 23.8 percent primarily due to excess tax benefits and other discrete tax benefits in 2019 and certain one-time charges related to Tax Reform incurred in the fourth quarter of 2018.

Net income was $96.9 million which resulted in EPS of $1.26. Excluding restructuring expenses, adjusted EPS of $1.33 increased 2 cents, or 2 percent, from the prior year period adjusted EPS.

Cash from operations of $151.2 million was down 2 percent from the prior year period and led to free cash flow of $137.0 million, which was flat compared to the prior year period and 134 percent of adjusted net income.







“IDEX’s full year organic sales increased for the third year in a row and led to record operating results including operating income, EPS, EBITDA and free cash flow. The team captured price and delivered productivity which led to margin expansion. In 2019 adjusted gross margin and adjusted operating margin improved by 20 and 80 basis points, respectively. The team also drove significant improvements in working capital, achieving record free cash flow for the year of $477 million.

However, in the fourth quarter of the year global demand for industrial products continued to weaken, with U.S. manufacturing activity in December posting the lowest results in a decade according to the ISM index. This softness in our short cycle industrial facing businesses led to a 2 percent organic sales decline and our adjusted EPS to the low end of our guidance of $1.33. Recognizing these challenging market conditions, we executed a restructuring plan in the fourth quarter which will provide $15 million of savings in 2020. These restructuring actions will help mitigate the impact from the market softness on our financials while allowing us to retain our key investments for future growth.


 
 
Our strong balance sheet and our ability to generate solid free cash flow even in a slowing demand environment gives us the ability to continue to deploy capital towards our organic growth initiatives and our other capital deployment objectives. M&A remains a key priority and earlier today we announced a definitive agreement to acquire Flow Management Devices LLC (Flow MD), a leading provider of small volume provers used to ensure flow accuracy in critical applications in the oil and gas industry. We are excited for them to be joining the IDEX family of businesses by the end of the first quarter.


 
 
Looking forward to 2020, our expectation is that the industrial markets will remain challenged through the first half of the year and as a result we are projecting flat to 2 percent organic sales decline for the year, with a 4 to 5 percent organic sales decline in the first quarter. Full year 2020 EPS is projected to be $5.55 to $5.85, with first quarter EPS of $1.30 to $1.34.”

Acquisition
On January 29, 2020, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Flow Management Devices LLC (Flow MD) for cash consideration of $125 million.

We expect to close the transaction by the end of the first quarter 2020 subject to regulatory approval and customary closing conditions.

Restructuring Actions
The Company recorded $7.0 million and $21.0 million of restructuring expenses in the fourth quarter and full year 2019, respectively, to facilitate long-term, sustainable growth through cost reduction actions, primarily consisting of employee reductions, facility rationalization and impairment charges. The full year 2019 restructuring actions included a $9.7 million impairment charge recorded in the third quarter related to the winding down of a business within the Health & Science Technologies segment.

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 profit 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, net of the statutory tax expense or benefit.
Adjusted EPS is calculated as adjusted net income divided by diluted weighted average shares.
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 the fair value inventory step-up charge plus restructuring expenses.
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.

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 update them to reflect subsequent events or circumstances, except as may be required by law.
