NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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

(unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of IDEX Corporation (“IDEX,” “we,” “our,” or the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) 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 and six months ended June 30, 2020 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 year ended December 31, 2019.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments and in November 2018 issued a subsequent amendment, ASU 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses. ASU 2016-13 significantly changes how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income. ASU 2016-13 replaces the prior “incurred loss” approach with an “expected loss” model for instruments measured at amortized cost. ASU 2018-19 affects loans, debt securities, trade receivables, net investments in leases, off-balance sheet credit exposures, reinsurance receivables and any other financial assets not excluded from the scope of this amendment that represent the contractual right to receive cash. ASU 2016-13 and ASU 2018-19 should be applied on either a prospective transition or modified-retrospective approach depending on the subtopic. The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2020 using the prospective transition approach. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

2. Acquisitions and Divestitures

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

The Company incurred acquisition-related transaction costs of $0.7 million and $0.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $1.8 million and $0.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. These costs were recorded in Selling, general and administrative expenses and were related to completed transactions, pending transactions and potential transactions, including transactions that ultimately were not completed.

2020 Acquisition

On February 28, 2020, the Company acquired the stock of Flow Management Devices, LLC (“Flow MD”), a privately held provider of flow measurement systems that ensure custody transfer accuracy in the oil and gas industry. Flow MD engineers and manufactures small volume provers. Headquartered in Phoenix, AZ, with operations in Houston, TX and Pittsburgh, PA, Flow MD operates in our Energy group within the Fluid & Metering Technologies segment. Flow MD was acquired for cash consideration of $120.8 million. The entire purchase price was funded with cash on hand. Goodwill and intangible assets recognized as part of this transaction were $63.0 million and $53.0 million, respectively. The goodwill is deductible for tax purposes.

The Company made an initial allocation of the purchase price for the Flow MD acquisition as of the acquisition date based on its understanding of the fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities. These nonrecurring fair value measurements are classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. As the Company continues to obtain additional information about these assets and liabilities, including intangible asset appraisals, inventory valuation and accrued expenses, and continues to learn more about the newly acquired business, we will refine the estimates of fair value and more accurately allocate the

(unaudited)

purchase price. Only items identified as of the acquisition date are considered for subsequent adjustment. The Company will continue to make required adjustments to the purchase price allocation prior to the completion of the measurement period.

The preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, based on their estimated fair values at the acquisition date, is as follows:


(In thousands)	Total
Current assets, net of cash acquired	$	32,805
Property, plant and equipment	4,587
Goodwill	63,007
Intangible assets	53,000
Other noncurrent assets	1,291
Total assets acquired	154,690
Current liabilities	(34,059)
Deferred income taxes	537
Other noncurrent liabilities	(329)
Net assets acquired	$	120,839

Acquired intangible assets consist of trade names, customer relationships and unpatented technology. The goodwill recorded for the acquisition reflects the strategic fit, revenue and earnings growth potential of this business.

The acquired intangible assets and weighted average amortization periods are as follows:


(In thousands, except weighted average life)	Total		Weighted Average Life
Trade names	$	6,000	15
Customer relationships	31,500		10
Unpatented technology	15,500		20
Acquired intangible assets	$	53,000

2019 Acquisition

On July 18, 2019, the Company acquired the stock of Velcora Holding AB (“Velcora”) and its operating subsidiaries, Roplan and Steridose. Roplan is a global manufacturer of custom mechanical and shaft seals for a variety of end markets including food and beverage, marine, chemical, wastewater and water treatment. Steridose develops engineered hygienic mixers and valves for the global biopharmaceutical industry. Both companies are headquartered in Sweden but also have operations in China, the United Kingdom and the United States. Roplan and Steridose operate in our Health & Science Technologies segment. Velcora was acquired for cash consideration of $87.2 million and the assumption of $51.1 million of debt. The entire purchase price was funded with cash on hand. Goodwill and intangible assets recognized as part of this transaction were $86.6 million and $48.2 million, respectively. The goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes.

The Company finalized the allocation of the purchase price for the Velcora acquisition as of the acquisition date based on its understanding of the fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities. These nonrecurring fair value measurements are classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

3. 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 export these high performance elastomer seals outside of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The Joint Venture will be headquartered in Damman, Saudi Arabia and will operate in our Sealing Solutions platform within the Health & Science Technologies segment. IDEX 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.

4. Business Segments

5. Revenue

IDEX is an applied solutions company specializing in the manufacture of fluid and metering technologies, health and science technologies and fire, safety and other diversified products built to customers’ specifications. The Company’s products include industrial pumps, provers, compressors, flow meters, injectors, valves and related controls for use in a wide variety of process applications; precision fluidics solutions, including pumps, valves, degassing equipment, corrective tubing, fittings and complex manifolds, optical filters and specialty medical equipment and devices for use in life science applications; precision-engineered equipment for dispensing, metering and mixing paints; and engineered products for industrial and commercial markets, including fire and rescue, transportation equipment, oil and gas, electronics and communications.

Revenue is recognized when control of products or services is transferred to our customers in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for transferring those products or providing those services. We account for a contract when it has approval and commitment from both parties, the rights of the parties are identified, payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance and collectability of the consideration is probable. We determine the appropriate revenue recognition for our contracts with customers by analyzing the type, terms and conditions of each contract or arrangement with a customer.

Disaggregation of Revenue

We have a comprehensive offering of products, including technologies, built to customers’ specifications that are sold in niche markets throughout the world. We disaggregate our revenue from contracts with customers by reporting unit and geographical region for each of our segments as we believe it best depicts how the amount, nature, timing and uncertainty of our revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. Revenue was attributed to geographical region based on the location of the customer. The following tables present our revenue disaggregated by reporting unit and geographical region.

Revenue by reporting unit for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 was as follows:

Contract Balances

The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections can result in customer receivables, advance payments or billings in excess of revenue recognized. Customer receivables include both amounts billed and currently due from customers as well as unbilled amounts (contract assets) and are included in Receivables on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Amounts are billed in accordance with contractual terms or as work progresses. Unbilled amounts arise when the timing of billing differs from the timing of revenue recognized, such as when contract provisions require specific milestones to be met before a customer can be billed. Unbilled amounts primarily relate to performance obligations satisfied over time when the cost-to-cost method is utilized and the revenue recognized exceeds the amount billed to the customer as there is not yet a right to invoice in accordance with contractual terms. Unbilled amounts are recorded as a contract asset when the revenue associated with the contract is recognized prior to billing and derecognized when billed in accordance with the terms of the contract. Customer receivables are recorded at face amount less an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for expected losses as a result of customers’ inability to make required payments. Management evaluates the aging of customer receivable balances, the financial condition of its customers, historical trends and the time outstanding of specific balances to estimate the amount of customer receivables that may not be collected in the future and records the appropriate provision.

The composition of Customer receivables was as follows:


	June 30, 2020		December 31, 2019
Billed receivables	$	261,248	$	286,196
Unbilled receivables	11,139		11,922
Total customer receivables	$	272,387	$	298,118

Advance payments, deposits and billings in excess of revenue recognized are included in Deferred revenue which is classified as current or noncurrent based on the timing of when we expect to recognize the revenue. The current portion is included in Accrued expenses and the noncurrent portion is included in Other noncurrent liabilities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Advance payments or deposits represent contract liabilities and are recorded when customers remit contractual cash payments in advance of us satisfying performance obligations under contractual arrangements, including those with performance obligations satisfied over time. We generally receive advance payments from customers related to maintenance services which we recognize ratably over the service term. We also receive deposits from customers on certain orders which we recognize as revenue at a point in time. Billings in excess of revenue recognized represent contract liabilities and primarily relate to performance obligations satisfied over time when the cost-to-cost method is utilized and revenue cannot yet be recognized as the Company has not completed the corresponding performance obligation. Contract liabilities are derecognized when revenue is recognized and the performance obligation is satisfied.

The composition of Deferred revenue was as follows:


	June 30, 2020		December 31, 2019
Deferred revenue - current	$	38,493	$	17,633
Deferred revenue - noncurrent	1,615		2,129
Total deferred revenue	$	40,108	$	19,762

Performance Obligations

A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct product or service to the customer. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. For our contracts that require complex design, manufacturing and installation activities, certain performance obligations may not be separately identifiable from other performance obligations in the contract and, therefore, not distinct. As a result, the entire contract is accounted for as a single performance obligation. For our contracts that include distinct products or services that are substantially the same and have the same pattern of transfer to the customer over time, they are recognized as a series of distinct products or services. Certain of our contracts have multiple performance obligations for which we allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation using an estimate of the standalone selling price of each distinct product or service in the contract. For product sales, each product sold to a customer generally represents a distinct performance

(unaudited)

obligation. In such cases, the observable standalone sales are used to determine the standalone selling price. In certain cases, we may be required to estimate standalone selling price using the expected cost plus margin approach, under which we forecast our expected costs of satisfying a performance obligation and then add an appropriate margin for that distinct product or service.

Our performance obligations are satisfied at a point in time or over time as work progresses. Performance obligations are supported by contracts with customers that provide a framework for the nature of the distinct product or service or bundle of products and services. We define service revenue as revenue from activities that are not associated with the design, development or manufacture of a product or the delivery of a software license.

Revenue from products and services transferred to customers at a point in time approximated 95% of total revenues in both the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019. Revenue on these contracts is recognized when obligations under the terms of the contract with our customer are satisfied. Generally, this occurs with the transfer of control of the asset, which is in line with shipping terms.

Revenue from products and services transferred to customers over time approximated 5% of total revenues in both the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019. Revenue earned by certain business units within the Water, Energy, Material Processing Technologies (“MPT”) and Dispensing reporting units is recognized over time because control transfers continuously to our customers. When accounting for over-time contracts, we use an input measure to determine the extent of progress towards completion of the performance obligation. For certain business units within the Water, Energy and MPT reporting units, revenue is recognized over time as work is performed based on the relationship between actual costs incurred to date for each contract and the total estimated costs for such contract at completion of the performance obligation (i.e. the cost-to-cost method). We believe this measure of progress best depicts the transfer of control to the customer which occurs as we incur costs on our contracts. Incurred cost represents work performed, which corresponds with the transfer of control to the customer. Contract costs include labor, material and overhead. Contract estimates are based on various assumptions to project the outcome of future events. These assumptions include labor productivity and availability; the complexity of the work to be performed; the cost and availability of materials; the performance of subcontractors; and the availability and timing of funding from the customer. Revenues, including estimated fees or profits, are recorded proportionally as costs are incurred. For certain business units within the Energy and Dispensing reporting units, revenue is recognized ratably over the contract term.

As a significant change in one or more of these estimates could affect the profitability of our contracts, we review and update our estimates regularly. Due to uncertainties inherent in the estimation process, it is reasonably possible that completion costs, including those arising from contract penalty provisions and final contract settlements, will be revised. Such revisions to costs and income are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined as a cumulative catch-up adjustment. The impact of the adjustment on profit recorded to date on a contract is recognized in the period the adjustment is identified. Revenue and profit in future periods of contract performance are recognized using the adjusted estimate. If at any time the estimate of contract profitability indicates an anticipated loss on the contract, we recognize provisions for estimated losses on incomplete contracts in the period in which such losses are determined.

The Company records allowances for discounts and product returns at the time of sale as a reduction of revenue as such allowances can be reliably estimated based on historical experience and known trends. The Company also offers product warranties (primarily assurance-type) and accrues its estimated exposure for warranty claims at the time of sale based upon the length of the warranty period, warranty costs incurred and any other related information known to the Company.

6. Earnings Per Common Share

Earnings per common share (“EPS”) is 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, restricted stock and performance share units.

ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, concludes 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 has determined that its outstanding shares of restricted stock are participating securities. Accordingly, EPS was computed using the two-class method prescribed by ASC 260.

Options to purchase approximately 0.6 million shares of common stock for each of the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, and 0.6 million shares of common stock for each of the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because the effect of their inclusion would have been antidilutive.

7. Inventories

The components of inventories as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 were:

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost, which includes material, labor and factory overhead, is determined on a first in, first out basis.

8. Goodwill and Intangible Assets

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the six months ended June 30, 2020, by reportable business segment, were as follows:

Balance at June 30, 2020	$	642,149	$	831,624	$	368,957	$	1,842,730

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. In the first six months of 2020, there were no events or circumstances that would have required an interim impairment test. Annually, on October 31, goodwill and other acquired intangible assets with indefinite lives are tested for impairment. Based on the results of our annual impairment test at October 31, 2019, all reporting units had fair values in excess of their carrying values.

The Banjo trade name and the Akron Brass trade name are indefinite-lived intangible assets which are tested for impairment on an annual basis in accordance with ASC 350 or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired. In the first six months of 2020, there were no events or circumstances that would have required an interim impairment test on these indefinite-lived intangible assets. The Company uses the relief-from-royalty method, a form of the income approach, to determine the fair value of these trade names. The relief-from-royalty method is dependent on a number of significant management assumptions, including estimates of revenues, royalty rates and discount rates.

In the first six months of 2020, the outbreak of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) resulted in government lockdown mandates globally that forced us to both reduce hours and temporarily close some facilities. These events required that an interim impairment test be performed on the definite-lived intangible assets at one of the Company’s businesses. The impairment test did not result in an impairment charge.

Amortization of intangible assets was $10.5 million and $20.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively. Amortization of intangible assets was $9.0 million and $18.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively. Based on the intangible asset balances as of June 30, 2020, amortization expense is expected to approximate $21.2 million for the remaining six months of 2020, $41.5 million in 2021, $39.6 million in 2022, $36.9 million in 2023 and $35.1 million in 2024.

On April 29, 2020, the Company completed a public offering of $500.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 3.0% Senior Notes due 2030 (the “3.0% Senior Notes”). The net proceeds from the offering were approximately $494.9 million, after deducting the issuance discount of $0.9 million, the underwriting commission of $3.3 million and offering expenses of $0.9 million. The net proceeds were used to redeem and repay the $300.0 million aggregate principal amount outstanding of its 4.5% Senior Notes due December 15, 2020 and the related accrued interest and a make-whole redemption premium, with the balance used for general corporate purposes. The 3.0% Senior Notes bear interest at a rate of 3.0% per annum, which is payable semi-annually in arrears on May 1 and November 1 of each year. The 3.0% Senior Notes mature on May 1, 2030.

The Company may redeem all or a portion of the 3.0% Senior Notes at any time prior to maturity at the redemption prices set forth in the Note Indenture (“Indenture”) governing the 3.0% Senior Notes. The Indenture and 3.0% Notes contain covenants that limit the Company’s ability to, among other things, incur certain liens securing indebtedness, engage in certain sale-leaseback transactions and enter into certain consolidations, mergers, conveyances, transfers or leases of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets. The terms of the 3.0% Senior Notes also require the Company to make an offer to repurchase the 3.0% Senior Notes upon a change of control triggering event (as defined in the Indenture) at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any. The Indenture also provides for customary events of default, which include nonpayment, breach of covenants in the Indenture and certain events of bankruptcy and insolvency. Generally, if an event of default occurs, the Trustee or holders of at least 25% of the then outstanding 3.0% Senior Notes may declare the principal amount of all of the 3.0% Senior Notes to be due and payable immediately.

On April 27, 2020, the Company provided notice of its election to redeem early, on May 27, 2020, the $300.0 million aggregate principal amount outstanding of its 4.5% Senior Notes at a redemption price of $300.0 million plus a make-whole redemption premium of $6.8 million and accrued and unpaid interest of $6.1 million using proceeds from the Company’s 3.0% Senior Notes. In addition, the Company recognized the remaining $1.4 million of the pre-tax amount included in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in shareholders’ equity related to the interest rate exchange agreement associated with the 4.5% Senior Notes and wrote off the remaining $0.1 million of deferred issuance costs and $0.1 million of the debt issuance discount associated with 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 in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Terms and fees of the Credit Agreement are essentially the same as the prior credit agreement except for certain fees and interest rate pricing that are more favorable to the Company.

The Credit Agreement consists of a revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”) in an aggregate principal amount of $800 million with a final maturity date of May 31, 2024. The maturity date may be extended under certain conditions for an additional one-year term. Up to $75 million of the Revolving Facility is available for the issuance of letters of credit. Additionally, up to $50 million of the Revolving Facility is available to the Company for swing line loans, available on a same-day basis.

Proceeds from the Revolving Facility are available for use by the Borrowers for acquisitions, working capital and other general corporate purposes, including refinancing existing debt of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Company may request increases in the lending commitments under the Credit Agreement, but the aggregate lending commitments pursuant to such increases may not exceed $400 million. The Company has the right, subject to certain conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement, to designate certain foreign subsidiaries of the Company as borrowers under the Credit Agreement. In connection with any such designation, the Company is required to guarantee the obligations of any such subsidiaries under the Credit Agreement.

Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest, at either an alternate base rate or adjusted LIBOR plus, in each case, an applicable margin. Such applicable margin is based on the lower of the Company’s senior, unsecured, long-term debt rating or the Company’s applicable leverage ratio and can range from 0.00% to 1.275%. Based on the Company’s leverage ratio at June 30, 2020, the applicable margin was 1.00% resulting in a weighted average interest rate of 1.32% for the six months ended June 30, 2020. Interest is payable (a) in the case of base rate loans, quarterly, and (b) in the case of LIBOR loans, on the last day of the applicable interest period selected, or every three months from the effective date of such interest period for interest periods exceeding three months.

The Credit Agreement requires payment to the lenders of a facility fee based upon the amount of the lenders’ commitments under the credit facility from time to time, determined based on the lower of the Company’s senior, unsecured long-term debt rating or the Company’s applicable leverage ratio. Voluntary prepayments of any loans and voluntary reductions of the unutilized portion of the commitments under the Credit Agreement are permissible without penalty, subject to break funding payments and minimum notice and minimum reduction amount requirements.

The Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants for senior unsecured credit agreements, including an interest coverage ratio test and a leverage ratio test, in each case tested quarterly and, in the case of the leverage ratio, with an option to increase the ratio for 12 months in connection with certain acquisitions. The negative covenants include restrictions on the Company’s ability to grant liens, enter into transactions resulting in fundamental changes (such as mergers or sales of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company), make certain subsidiary dividends or distributions, engage in materially different lines of businesses and allow subsidiaries to incur certain additional debt.

The Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default (subject to grace periods, as appropriate).

At June 30, 2020, there was no balance outstanding under the Revolving Facility and $7.1 million of outstanding letters of credit, resulting in a net available borrowing capacity under the Revolving Facility at June 30, 2020 of approximately $792.9 million.

On June 13, 2016, the Company completed a private placement of a $100 million aggregate principal amount of 3.20% Senior Notes due June 13, 2023 and a $100 million aggregate principal amount of 3.37% Senior Notes due June 13, 2025 (collectively, the “Notes”) pursuant to a Note Purchase Agreement dated June 13, 2016 (the “Purchase Agreement”). Each series of Notes bears interest at the stated amount per annum, which is payable semi-annually in arrears on each June 13^th and December 13^th. The Notes are unsecured obligations of the Company and rank pari passu in right of payment with all of the Company’s other unsecured, unsubordinated debt. The Company may at any time prepay all, or any portion of the Notes, provided that such portion is greater than 5% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding. In the event of a prepayment, the Company will pay an amount equal to par plus accrued interest plus a make-whole amount. In addition, the Company may repurchase the Notes by making an offer to all holders of the Notes, subject to certain conditions.

The Purchase Agreement contains certain covenants that restrict the Company’s ability to, among other things, transfer or sell assets, incur indebtedness, create liens, transact with affiliates and engage in certain mergers or consolidations or other change of control transactions. In addition, the Company must comply with a leverage ratio and interest coverage ratio, as

(unaudited)

further described below, and the Purchase Agreement also limits the outstanding principal amount of priority debt that may be incurred by the Company to 15% of consolidated assets. The Purchase Agreement provides for customary events of default. In the case of an event of default arising from specified events of bankruptcy or insolvency, all of the outstanding Notes will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. In the case of a payment event of default, any holder of the Notes affected thereby may declare all of the Notes held by it due and payable immediately. In the case of any other event of default, a majority of the holders of the Notes may declare all of the Notes to be due and payable immediately.

On December 9, 2011, the Company completed a public offering of $350.0 million 4.2% senior notes due December 15, 2021 (“4.2% Senior Notes”). The net proceeds from the offering of $346.2 million, after deducting a $0.9 million issuance discount, a $2.3 million underwriting commission and $0.6 million of offering expenses, were used to repay $306.0 million of outstanding bank indebtedness, with the balance used for general corporate purposes. The 4.2% Senior Notes bear interest at a rate of 4.2% per annum, which is payable semi-annually in arrears on each June 15th and December 15th. The Company may redeem all or a portion of the 4.2% Senior Notes at any time prior to maturity at the redemption prices set forth in the Note Indenture governing the 4.2% Senior Notes. The Company may issue additional debt from time to time pursuant to the Indenture. The Indenture and 4.2% Senior Notes contain covenants that limit the Company’s ability to, among other things, incur certain liens securing indebtedness, engage in certain sale-leaseback transactions, and enter into certain consolidations, mergers, conveyances, transfers or leases of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets. The terms of the 4.2% Senior Notes also require the Company to make an offer to repurchase the 4.2% Senior Notes upon a change of control triggering event (as defined in the Indenture) at a price equal to 101% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any.

There are two key financial covenants that the Company is required to maintain in connection with the Revolving Facility and the Notes: a minimum interest coverage ratio of 3.00 to 1 and a maximum leverage ratio of 3.50 to 1, which is the ratio of the Company’s consolidated total debt to its consolidated earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”). In the case of the leverage ratio under the Revolving Facility, there is an option to increase the ratio to 4.00 for 12 months in connection with certain acquisitions. At June 30, 2020, the Company was in compliance with both of these financial covenants. There are no financial covenants relating to the 3.0% Senior Notes or 4.2% Senior Notes; however, both are subject to cross-default provisions.

12. 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 types of cash flow hedges the Company enters into include foreign currency exchange contracts designed to minimize the earnings impact on certain intercompany loans as well as interest rate exchange agreements designed to reduce the impact of interest rate changes on future interest expense that effectively convert a portion of floating-rate debt to fixed-rate debt.

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. 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 in net income during the period of change. See Note 16 for the amount of loss reclassified into net income for interest rate contracts for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019. As of June 30, 2020, the Company did not have any interest rate contracts outstanding.

In 2010 and 2011, the Company entered into two separate forward starting interest rate exchange agreements 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 terms of the respective debt instruments. Approximately $3.5 million of the pre-tax amount included in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in shareholders’ equity at June 30, 2020 related to the 4.2% Senior Notes and will be recognized in net income over the next 12 months as the underlying hedged transaction is realized. In conjunction with the early redemption of the 4.5% Senior Notes on May 27, 2020, the Company accelerated the recognition of the remaining $1.4 million of the pre-tax amount included in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in shareholders’ equity related to the 4.5% Senior Notes and recorded such as Other (income) expense - net during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

13. 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 (liabilities) at fair value on a recurring basis in the balance sheets at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019:


	Basis of Fair Value Measurements
	Balance at June 30, 2020		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Available for sale securities	$	11,415	$	11,415	$	—	$	—


	Basis of Fair Value Measurements
	Balance at December 31, 2019		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Available for sale securities	$	10,462	$	10,462	$	—	$	—
Contingent consideration	3,375		—		—		3,375

There were no transfers of assets or liabilities between Level 1 and Level 2 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 or the year ended December 31, 2019.

As of December 31, 2019, the Company utilized a Monte Carlo simulation to determine the fair value of the contingent consideration associated with the acquisition of Finger Lakes Instrumentation as of the acquisition date. In March 2020, the Company and the seller reached an agreement to settle the contingency for $3.0 million, which was paid in April 2020.

The carrying values of our cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair values because of the short term nature of these instruments. At June 30, 2020, the fair value of the outstanding indebtedness under our 3.0% Senior Notes, 3.2% Senior Notes, 3.37% Senior Notes, 4.2% Senior Notes and other borrowings based on quoted market prices and current market rates for debt with similar credit risk and maturity was approximately $1,115.7 million compared to the carrying value of $1,049.3 million. At December 31, 2019, the fair value of the outstanding indebtedness under our 3.2% Senior Notes, 3.37% Senior Notes, 4.5% Senior Notes, 4.2% Senior Notes and other borrowings based on quoted market prices and current market rates for debt with similar credit risk and maturity was approximately $876.0 million compared to the carrying value of $850.2 million. These fair value measurements are classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy since they are 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.

14. Leases

The Company leases certain office facilities, warehouses, manufacturing plants, equipment (which includes both office and plant equipment) and vehicles under operating leases. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet; the Company recognizes lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Certain leases include one or more options to renew. The exercise of lease renewal options is at the Company’s sole discretion. There are currently no renewal periods included in any of the leases’ respective lease terms as they are not reasonably certain of being exercised. The Company does not have any material purchase options.

Certain of our lease agreements have rental payments that are adjusted periodically for inflation or that are based on usage. Our lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

The Company expects to contribute approximately $3.0 million to its defined benefit plans and $1.1 million to its other postretirement benefit plans in 2020. During the first six months of 2020, the Company contributed a total of $0.1 million to fund these plans.

Effective September 30, 2019, the IDEX Corporation Retirement Plan (“Plan”), a U.S. defined benefit plan, was amended to freeze the accrual of retirement benefits for all participants. This action impacted fewer than 60 participants, as the Plan had been closed to new entrants as of December 31, 2004 and frozen as of December 31, 2005 for all but certain older, longer service participants. Subsequent to the freeze, termination of the Plan was approved in November 2019. Participants were notified in February 2020 and the Plan was terminated in May 2020. As a result of the termination, the settlement threshold was reached during the first half of 2020 and the Company recorded a charge of $0.4 million to Other (income) expense - net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The settlement also triggered the remeasurement of net periodic benefit cost resulting in a reduction of $0.6 million to Other (income) expense - net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the six months ended June 30, 2020 as a result of significant decreases in discount rates and strong asset performance in the first half of 2020. As of June 30, 2020, the Plan’s funded status is 108%, with assets valued at $94.8 million and liabilities of $87.6 million.

20. Legal Proceedings

The Company and certain of its subsidiaries are involved in pending and threatened legal, regulatory and other proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. These proceedings may pertain to matters such as product liability or contract disputes, and may also involve governmental inquiries, inspections, audits or investigations relating to issues such as tax matters, intellectual property, environmental, health and safety issues, governmental regulations, employment and other matters. Although the results of such legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company believes that the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect, individually or in the aggregate, on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

21. 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 $20.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $31.4 million during the same period in 2019. The effective tax rate increased to 22.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to 21.7% during the same period in 2019 primarily due to a $0.7 million decrease in the excess tax benefits related to share-based compensation compared to the prior year period.

The provision for income taxes decreased to $46.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 from $58.2 million during the same period in 2019. The effective tax rate increased to 21.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to 20.7% during the same period in 2019 primarily due to a $1.4 million decrease in the excess tax benefits related to share-based compensation compared to the prior year period.

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. However, these unrecognized tax benefits are long-term in nature and will not change within the next twelve months.

Overview

IDEX Corporation (“IDEX,” “we,” “our,” or the “Company”) is an applied solutions company specializing in the manufacture of 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 across 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 important 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 13 platforms where we focus on organic growth and strategic acquisitions. Each of our 13 platforms is also a reporting unit that we annually test for goodwill impairment.

The Fluid & Metering Technologies segment designs, produces and distributes positive displacement pumps, small volume provers, flow meters, injectors and other fluid-handling pump modules and systems and provides flow monitoring and other services for the food, chemical, general industrial, water and wastewater, agriculture and energy industries. The Fluid & Metering Technologies segment contains the Energy platform (comprised of Corken, Liquid Controls, SAMPI, Toptech and Flow Management Devices, LLC (“Flow MD”)), the Valves platform (comprised of Alfa Valvole, Richter and Aegis), the Water platform (comprised of Pulsafeeder, OBL, Knight, ADS, Trebor and iPEK), the Pumps platform (comprised of Viking and Warren Rupp) and the Agriculture platform (comprised of Banjo).

The Fire & Safety/Diversified Products segment is comprised of the Fire & Safety platform (comprised of Class 1, Hale, Akron Brass, Weldon, AWG Fittings, Godiva, Dinglee, Hurst Jaws of Life, Lukas and Vetter), the BAND-IT platform and the Dispensing platform.

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.

This report references organic sales, a non-GAAP measure, that refers to sales from continuing operations calculated according to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) but excludes (1) the impact of foreign currency translation and (2) sales from acquired or divested businesses during the first twelve months of ownership or divestiture. 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 and divestitures because they can obscure underlying business trends and make comparisons of long term performance difficult due to the varying nature, size and number of transactions from period to period and between the Company and its peers.

EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, 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 from recently acquired businesses, management uses EBITDA as an internal operating metric to provide another representation of the businesses’ performance across our three segments and for enterprise valuation purposes. Management believes that EBITDA is useful to investors as an indicator of the strength and performance of the Company and a way to evaluate and compare operating performance and value companies within our industry. Management believes that EBITDA margin is useful for the same reason as EBITDA. EBITDA is also used to calculate certain financial covenants, as discussed in Note 11 in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1, “Financial Statements.”

Organic sales have been reconciled to net sales and EBITDA has been reconciled to net income in Item 2 under the heading “Non-GAAP Disclosures.” The reconciliation of segment EBITDA to net income was performed on a consolidated basis due to the fact that we do not allocate consolidated interest expense or the consolidated provision for income taxes to our segments.

Management uses Adjusted gross profit, Adjusted operating income, Adjusted net income, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS as metrics by which to measure performance of the Company since they exclude items that are not reflective of ongoing operations, such as restructuring expenses, a fair value inventory step-up charge and a loss on early debt redemption. Each of Adjusted gross profit, Adjusted operating income, Adjusted net income, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS are non-

Table of Contents

GAAP measures and have been reconciled to their most directly comparable GAAP measures in this Item 2 under the heading “Non-GAAP Disclosures.”

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. 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 results for the three months ended June 30, 2020 when compared to the same period in the prior year are as follows:

•Sales of $561.2 million decreased 13%; organic sales (which excludes acquisitions and foreign currency translation) were down 17%.

Results of Operations

The following is a discussion and analysis of our results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019. Segment operating income and EBITDA exclude unallocated corporate operating expenses of $17.2 million and $19.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $34.7 million and $37.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

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 product 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. Despite our expectations and actions taken to reduce costs, we can provide no assurances that access to our invested cash, cash equivalents or short-term investments will not be impacted by adverse conditions in the financial markets, including, without limitation, as a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and we cannot predict how long the COVID-19 pandemic will continue. Moreover,

COVID-19 and related measures to contain its impact have caused material disruptions in both national and global financial markets and economies. The continuing impact of COVID-19 and the enacted containment measures cannot be predicted and may continue to adversely affect, perhaps materially, our business, results of operations, financial condition and liquidity.

Consolidated Results for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2020 Compared with the Same Period in 2019


(In thousands)	Three Months Ended June 30,
	2020			2019
Net sales	$	561,249		$	642,099
Operating income	110,594			155,283
Operating margin	19.7		%	24.2		%

Sales in the second quarter of 2020 were $561.2 million, which was a 13% decrease compared to the same period in 2019. This reflects a 17% decrease in organic sales and a 1% unfavorable impact from foreign currency translation, partially offset by a 5% increase from acquisitions (Flow MD - February 2020 and Velcora - July 2019). Sales to customers outside the U.S. represented approximately 48% of total sales in the second quarter of 2020 compared to 49% during the same period in 2019.

Gross profit of $234.8 million in the second quarter of 2020 decreased $57.5 million, or 20%, compared to the same period in 2019, and gross margin of 41.8% in the second quarter of 2020 decreased 370 basis points from 45.5% during the same period in 2019. Gross profit and gross margin decreased compared to the prior year period as a result of reduced volume, business mix, the dilutive impact to margins from the recent acquisitions and a fair value inventory step-up charge included in the current year period.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to $120.4 million in the second quarter of 2020 from $134.9 million during the same period in 2019. The decrease is primarily due to restructuring savings and lower variable costs. Corporate costs of $17.0 million in the second quarter of 2020 decreased from $19.2 million during the same period in 2019 primarily as a result of tightly controlling discretionary spending and restructuring savings. As a percentage of sales, selling, general and administrative expenses were 21.4% for the second quarter of 2020, up 40 basis points compared to 21.0% during the same period in 2019.

The Company incurred $3.8 million of restructuring expenses in the second quarter of 2020 compared with $2.1 million during the same period in 2019 for cost reduction actions primarily consisting of employee reductions due to lower demand as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The restructuring expenses in the second quarter of 2020 all related to severance benefits.

Operating income of $110.6 million and operating margin of 19.7% in the second quarter of 2020 were down from $155.3 million and 24.2%, respectively, during the same period in 2019. The decreases in operating income and operating margin were driven by 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.

Other (income) expense - net increased to $6.5 million of expense in the second quarter of 2020 compared to $0.4 million of income during the same period in 2019, primarily due to an $8.4 million loss on early debt redemption, partially offset by $1.5 million of lower pension expense in 2020 and $1.2 million of higher gains on pension-related investments.

Interest expense of $12.4 million in the second quarter of 2020 was higher than the $11.0 million in the same period of 2019 due to borrowings under the Revolving Facility in 2020 and interest expense on the new 3.0% Senior Notes issued during the second quarter of 2020.

The provision for income taxes decreased to $20.8 million for the second quarter of 2020 compared to $31.4 million during the same period in 2019. The effective tax rate increased to 22.7% for the second quarter of 2020 compared to 21.7% during the same period in 2019 primarily due to a decrease in the excess tax benefits related to share-based compensation.

Net income in the second quarter of 2020 of $70.9 million decreased from $113.2 million during the same period in 2019. Diluted earnings per share in the second quarter of 2020 of $0.93 decreased $0.55, or 37%, compared to the same period in 2019.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Operating Activities

Cash flows from operating activities for the first six months of 2020 increased $34.4 million, or 16%, to $254.2 million compared to the first six months of 2019 due to favorable working capital, partially offset by lower earnings. At June 30, 2020, working capital was $995.9 million and the Company’s current ratio was 3.5 to 1. At June 30, 2020, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents totaled $746.3 million, of which $411.2 million was held outside of the United States. The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted and may continue to impact the Company’s operating cash flows through direct and secondary effects on the Company’s operations, customers and supply chain. Although the Company has been able to operate through the COVID-19 pandemic with only temporary shutdowns, any future disruptions due to operational shutdowns may impact the Company’s ability to operate as well as generate operating cash flow. Based on currently available information and management’s current expectations, the Company anticipates that it has sufficient cash on hand and sufficient access to capital to continue to fund operations for the foreseeable future. However, the continuing impact of COVID-19 and the COVID-19 containment measures cannot be predicted with certainty and may increase our borrowing costs and other costs of capital and otherwise adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and liquidity, and we cannot assure that we will have access to external financing at times and on terms we consider acceptable, or at all, or that we will not experience other liquidity issues going forward.

Investing Activities

Cash flows used in investing activities for the first six months of 2020 increased $116.0 million to $140.4 million compared to the same period in 2019 primarily due to $120.8 million spent on the acquisition of Flow MD in 2020.

Cash flows from operations were more than adequate to fund capital expenditures of $21.1 million and $25.7 million in the first six months of 2020 and 2019, respectively. The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted and may continue to impact the Company’s operating cash flows, which may lead to a reduction in capital expenditures. The Company believes it has sufficient operating cash flow to meet current obligations and invest in required currently planned capital expenditures. Capital expenditures were generally for machinery and equipment that supported growth, improved productivity, tooling, business system technology, replacement of equipment and investments in new facilities. Management believes that the Company has ample capacity in its plants and equipment to meet demand increases for future growth in the intermediate term.

Financing Activities

Cash flows provided by financing activities for the first six months of 2020 were $2.1 million compared to $118.6 million used in financing activities during the same period in 2019, primarily as a result of proceeds from the issuance of the 3.0% Senior Notes, partially offset by the early payment of the 4.5% Senior Notes as well as higher share repurchases and dividends paid in 2020.

On April 29, 2020, the Company completed a public offering of $500.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its 3.0% Senior Notes due 2030 (the “3.0% Senior Notes”). The net proceeds from the offering were approximately $494.9 million, after deducting the issuance discount of $0.9 million, the underwriting commission of $3.3 million and offering expenses of $0.9 million. The net proceeds were used to redeem and repay the $300.0 million aggregate principal amount outstanding of its 4.5% Senior Notes due December 15, 2020 and the related accrued interest and make-whole premium, with the balance used for general corporate purposes. The 3.0% Senior Notes bear interest at a rate of 3.0% per annum, which is payable semi-annually in arrears on May 1 and November 1 of each year. The 3.0% Senior Notes mature on May 1, 2030.

The Credit Agreement consists of a revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”), which is an $800.0 million unsecured, multi-currency bank credit facility maturing on May 31, 2024. The Credit Agreement replaced the Company’s prior five-year, $700 million credit agreement, dated as of June 23, 2015, which was due to expire in June 2020. At June 30, 2020, there was no balance outstanding under the Revolving Facility and $7.1 million of outstanding letters of credit, resulting in a net available borrowing capacity under the Revolving Facility of $792.9 million.

The Company has the right, subject to certain conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement, to designate certain foreign subsidiaries of the Company as borrowers under the Credit Agreement. In connection with any such designation, the Company is required to guarantee the obligations of any such subsidiaries under the Credit Agreement.

There are two key financial covenants that the Company is required to maintain in connection with the Revolving Facility and the Notes: a minimum interest coverage ratio of 3.00 to 1 and a maximum leverage ratio of 3.50 to 1. In the case of the leverage ratio, there is an option to increase the ratio to 4.00 for 12 months in connection with certain acquisitions. At June 30, 2020, the Company was in compliance with both of these financial covenants, as the Company’s interest coverage ratio was 14.64 to 1 and the leverage ratio was 1.62 to 1. There are no financial covenants relating to the 3.0% Senior Notes or the 4.2% Senior Notes; however, both are subject to cross-default provisions.

$300.0 million on December 1, 2015 and $400.0 million on November 6, 2014. Repurchases under the program will be funded with future cash flow generation or borrowings available under the Revolving Facility. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company repurchased a total of 876 thousand shares at a cost of $110.3 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company repurchased a total of 389 thousand shares at a cost of $54.7 million. As of June 30, 2020, the amount of share repurchase authorization remaining is $712.0 million.

Although the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted and may continue to impact the Company’s operating cash flows, based on management’s current expectations and currently available information, 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, interest and principal payments on all borrowings, pension and postretirement funding requirements and annual dividend payments to holders of the Company’s common stock for the remainder of 2020. 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. At June 30, 2020, there was no balance outstanding under the Revolving Facility and $7.1 million of outstanding letters of credit, resulting in a net available borrowing capacity under the Revolving Facility of $792.9 million. The Company believes that additional borrowings through various financing alternatives remain available if required. However, the continuing impact of COVID-19 and the COVID-19 containment measures cannot be predicted with certainty and may increase our borrowing costs and other costs of capital and otherwise adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and liquidity, and we cannot assure that we will have access to external financing at times and on terms we consider acceptable, or at all, or that we will not experience other liquidity issues going forward.

Non-GAAP Disclosures

Set forth below are reconciliations of Adjusted gross profit, Adjusted operating income, Adjusted net income, Adjusted EPS, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to the comparable measures of gross profit, operating income, net income and EPS, as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We have reconciled Adjusted gross profit to Gross profit, Adjusted operating income to Operating income; Adjusted net income to Net income; Adjusted EPS to EPS; and consolidated EBITDA, segment EBITDA, Adjusted consolidated EBITDA and Adjusted segment EBITDA to Net income. The reconciliation of segment EBITDA to net income was performed on a consolidated basis due to the fact that we do not allocate consolidated interest expense or the consolidated provision for 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 from recently acquired businesses, management uses EBITDA as an internal operating metric to provide another representation of the businesses’ performance across our three segments and for enterprise valuation purposes. Management believes that EBITDA is useful to investors as an indicator of the strength and performance of the Company and a way to evaluate and compare operating performance and value companies within our industry. Management believes that EBITDA margin is useful for the same reason as EBITDA. EBITDA is also used to calculate certain financial covenants, as discussed in Note 11 in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1, “Financial Statements.”

This report references organic sales, a non-GAAP measure, that refers to sales from continuing operations calculated according to U.S. GAAP but excludes (1) the impact of foreign currency translation and (2) sales from acquired or divested businesses during the first twelve months of ownership or divestiture. 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 to 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 and divestitures because they can obscure underlying business trends and make comparisons of long term performance difficult due to the varying nature, size and number of transactions from period to period and between the Company and its peers.

Management uses Adjusted gross profit, Adjusted operating income, Adjusted net income, Adjusted EPS and Adjusted EBITDA as metrics by which to measure performance of the Company since they exclude items that are not reflective of ongoing operations, such as restructuring expenses, a fair value inventory step-up charge and a loss on early debt redemption. Management also supplements its U.S. GAAP financial statements with adjusted information to provide investors with greater

Table of Contents

insight, transparency and a more comprehensive understanding of the information used by management in its financial and operational decision making.

In addition to measuring our cash flow generation and usage based upon the operating, investing and financing classifications included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, we also measure free cash flow (a non-GAAP measure) which represents net cash provided by operating activities minus capital expenditures. We believe that free cash flow is an important measure of operating performance because it provides management a measurement of cash generated from operations that is available for mandatory payment obligations and investment opportunities, such as funding acquisitions, paying dividends, repaying debt and repurchasing our common stock.

Critical Accounting Policies

As discussed in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, the preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. See Part 1, Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, Note 1 Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies. There have been no changes to the Company’s critical accounting policies described in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

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, describes the 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 financial or commodity derivative 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. As of June 30, 2020, the Company did not have any derivative instruments outstanding.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rates

The Company’s foreign currency exchange rate risk is limited principally to the Euro, Swiss Franc, British Pound, Canadian Dollar, Indian Rupee, Chinese Renminbi and Swedish Krona. 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 in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Interest Rate Fluctuation

The Company does not have significant interest rate exposure due to all of the $1,044.7 million of debt outstanding as of June 30, 2020 being 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 SEC Rule 13a-15(b), 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 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 June 30, 2020, 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 control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

The Company and its subsidiaries are party to legal proceedings as described in Note 20 in Part I, Item 1, “Legal Proceedings,” and such disclosure is incorporated by reference into this Item 1, “Legal Proceedings.” In addition, 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 the Company or any of the defendant 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 and the United Kingdom. Most of the claims resolved to date have been dismissed without payment. The balance of the claims have been settled for various immaterial 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.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

In light of current global economic events and conditions experienced during the six months ended June 30, 2020, the following factors are present risks to the Company. Aside from these risk factors, there have been no changes to the Company’s risk factors described in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 that have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Our business, results of operations and financial condition have been and may continue to be materially adversely impacted by the recent coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak.

The outbreak of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) has been a rapidly developing situation around the globe that has negatively impacted and could continue to negatively impact the global economy. Our operating results are subject to fluctuations based on general economic conditions and have been adversely affected by the worsening general economic conditions. The extent to which COVID-19 continues to impact our business will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, such as the duration of the outbreak and business closures or business disruptions for our Company, our suppliers and our customers.

Continuing deterioration in economic conditions has materially reduced, and could continue to reduce, the Company’s sales and profitability. Any bankruptcy or financial distress of our customers due to deterioration in economic conditions could result in reduced sales and decreased collectability of accounts receivable which would negatively impact our results of operations. Based on currently available information and management’s current expectations, we believe the Company’s organic sales will be down approximately 12 to 17 percent in the third quarter of 2020. The COVID-19 outbreak could also have a material impact on our ability to get the raw materials, parts and components we need to manufacture our products as our suppliers face disruptions in their businesses, closures or bankruptcy as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak. We depend greatly on our suppliers for items that are essential to the manufacturing of our products. Although we have not experienced material supply chain disruptions to date, if our suppliers fail to meet our manufacturing needs in the future, it would delay our production and our product shipments to customers and negatively affect our operations.

U.S and international government responses to the COVID-19 outbreak have included “shelter in place”, “stay at home” and similar types of orders. These orders exempt certain individuals needed to maintain continuity of operations of critical infrastructure sectors as determined by the federal government. Although the Company’s operations are currently considered essential and exempt, the government lockdown mandates forced us to temporarily close some facilities, although these facilities have since reopened. If any of the applicable exemptions are curtailed or revoked in the future, that would adversely impact our business, operating results and financial condition. Furthermore, to the extent these exemptions do not extend to our key suppliers and customers, this would also adversely impact our business, operating results and financial condition. We have also implemented work-from-home policies for certain “non-essential” employees, which could negatively impact productivity, disrupt conduct of our business in the ordinary course and delay our production timelines.

Due to the large remote workforce populations, we may also face informational technology infrastructure and connectivity issues from the vendors that we rely on for certain information technologies to administer, store and support the

Company’s multiple business activities. IDEX is heavily dependent on the availability and support of our technology landscape, several of which are provided by external third party service providers (e.g., Microsoft, AT&T and Verizon). Although we have not suffered any disruptions to date, any future disruptions in their operations could also negatively impact our business, operating results and financial condition.

To the extent the COVID-19 outbreak continues to adversely affect our business and financial results, it may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in the risk factors included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, such as those relating to our international operations, our ability to develop new products, our ability to execute on our growth strategy of acquisitions, our dependency on raw materials, parts and components, the effects on movements in foreign currency exchange rates on our company, the effects on our company that result from declines in commodity prices and our reliance on labor availability to operate and grow our business.
