IDEX REPORTS RECORD THIRD QUARTER RESULTS
NORTHBROOK, IL, OCTOBER 26 - IDEX Corporation (NYSE: IEX) today announced its financial results for the three month period ended September 30, 2021.
Third Quarter 2021 Highlights
•Record orders of $774.2 million up 36 percent overall and 28 percent organically compared to Q3 2020
•Record sales of $712.0 million up 23 percent overall and 15 percent organically compared to Q3 2020
• Reported operating margin was 22.6 percent with adjusted operating margin of 24.3 percent
• Record reported EPS was $1.51 with record adjusted EPS of $1.63
•Full year adjusted EPS guidance narrowed to $6.30 to $6.33 compared to prior guidance of $6.26 to $6.36
Third Quarter 2021
Orders of $774.2 million were up 36 percent compared with the prior year period (+28 percent organic, +7 percent acquisitions/divestitures and +1 percent foreign currency translation).
Sales of $712.0 million were up 23 percent compared with the prior year period (+15 percent organic, +7 percent acquisitions/divestitures and +1 percent foreign currency translation).
Gross margin of 43.8 percent was up 50 basis points compared with the prior year period primarily as a result of higher volume and price capture, partially offset by inflation and supply chain constraints. Adjusted gross margin, which excludes a $9.1 million pre-tax fair value inventory step-up charge related to the Airtech acquisition, was 45.0 percent, up 170 basis points compared with the adjusted prior year period.
Operating income of $161.2 million resulted in an operating margin of 22.6 percent, which was flat compared with the prior year period. Adjusted operating income, which primarily excluded a $9.1 million pre-tax fair value inventory step-up charge and $3.2 million of restructuring expenses and asset impairments, was $173.1 million with an adjusted operating margin of 24.3 percent, up 120 basis points compared with the adjusted prior year period.
Provision for income taxes of $35.3 million in the third quarter of 2021 resulted in an effective tax rate (ETR) of 23.4 percent, which was higher than the prior year period ETR of 14.4 percent primarily due to the finalization of tax regulations enacted in the third quarter of 2020 as well as a decrease in the excess tax benefit related to share-based compensation in the current period.
Net income attributable to IDEX was $115.7 million, which resulted in EPS attributable to IDEX of $1.51. Adjusted EPS attributable to IDEX was $1.63, an increase of 23 cents, or 16.4 percent, from the adjusted prior year period and excluded the impacts of the fair value inventory step-up charge and restructuring expenses and asset impairments discussed above, both net of related tax benefits. EBITDA of $187.5 million was 26.3 percent of sales and covered interest expense by almost 20 times. Adjusted EBITDA of $199.4 million was 28.0 percent of sales and covered interest expense by 21 times.
Cash from operations of $156.6 million was up 2 percent from the prior year period primarily due to higher earnings, partially offset by changes in working capital and was 135 percent of net income attributable to IDEX. Free cash flow of $141.7 million was up 5 percent from the prior year period and was 113 percent of adjusted net income attributable to IDEX.
| | | | | |
“IDEX teams continued to navigate a tremendously challenging supply chain environment and achieved strong operating results in the third quarter. We saw broad-based strength across our portfolio, resulting in record orders and sales of $774 million and $712 million, respectively. Today's global challenges will increasingly drive growth towards problem solvers like IDEX, but in the short term, our focus remains on overcoming the macro constraints that inhibit customer satisfaction while staying committed to investments needed to thrive in the future. |
| |
Our 80/20 principles serve us well by providing a framework to identify how to best support our customers in a difficult environment. I want to thank all IDEX team members across the globe who have tirelessly worked through these challenges and contributed to our success. |
| |
Our price capture continues to outpace material inflation and drive sequential improvements in gross margin. Despite targeted increases in discretionary costs and continued investment in the business, we achieved solid flow through, resulting in an adjusted operating margin of 24.3 percent and a record adjusted EPS of $1.63. |
| |
The acquisitions we made in the first half of the year are performing extremely well. ABEL Pumps is fully integrated and performing above expectations. Airtech is ahead of our integration timeline and is delivering on its growth potential. Our expanded corporate strategy and development team continues to actively work our M&A funnel as we look to deploy more capital. The balance sheet remains strong, with ample capital to support organic investments in business innovations and strategic M&A. |
| |
As we look to the fourth quarter, we expect organic sales growth of 9 to 10 percent with EPS in the range of $1.55 to $1.58. This assumes similar output to our third quarter results, coupled with a step up in targeted investments and the potential for year-end logistics challenges. For the full year, we are maintaining our projection of 11 to 12 percent organic sales growth and narrowing our adjusted EPS range to $6.30 to $6.33.” |

•Operating income of $69.0 million resulted in an operating margin of 27.5 percent, which was up 100 basis points compared with the prior year period primarily due to higher volume, price capture and favorable mix, partially offset by inflation, supply chain constraints and targeted increases in discretionary spending.

•Operating income of $70.4 million resulted in an operating margin of 23.3 percent, which was up 70 basis points compared with the prior year period primarily due to higher volume, price capture and favorable mix, partially offset by inflation, supply chain constraints, targeted increases in discretionary spending and the fair value inventory step-up charge related to the Airtech acquisition.

•EBITDA of $42.9 million resulted in an EBITDA margin of 26.9 percent. Adjusted EBITDA of $42.8 million resulted in an adjusted EBITDA margin of 26.9 percent, a 280 basis point decrease compared to the prior year period.
Corporate Costs
Corporate costs increased to $17.3 million in the third quarter of 2021 from $14.2 million in the third quarter of 2020 primarily as a result of higher variable compensation and employee-related costs.
Non-GAAP Measures of Financial Performance
The Company prepares its public financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). The Company supplements certain GAAP financial performance metrics with non-GAAP financial performance metrics. Management believes these non-GAAP financial performance metrics provide investors with greater insight, transparency and a more comprehensive understanding of the financial information used by management in its financial and operational decision-making because certain of these adjusted metrics exclude items not reflective of ongoing operations, such as fair value inventory step-up charges, restructuring expenses and asset impairments, the loss on early debt redemption, the noncash loss related to the termination of the U.S. pension plan and the impact of the settlement for a Corporate transaction indemnity. Reconciliations of non-GAAP financial performance metrics to their most comparable 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 GAAP. The Company does not provide forward-looking guidance for EPS on a GAAP basis because it is unable to predict certain items contained in the GAAP measure without unreasonable efforts. These items may include restructuring expenses and asset impairments, special tax items, acquisition-related transaction costs and certain other unusual adjustments. There were no adjustments to 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 prior to divestiture and the impact of foreign currency translation.
•Adjusted gross profit is calculated as gross profit plus fair value inventory step-up charges.
•Adjusted gross margin is calculated as adjusted gross profit divided by net sales.
•Adjusted operating income is calculated as operating income plus fair value inventory step-up charges plus restructuring expenses and asset impairments plus the impact of the settlement for a Corporate transaction indemnity.
•Adjusted operating margin is calculated as adjusted operating income divided by net sales.
•Adjusted net income is calculated as net income plus fair value inventory step-up charges plus restructuring expenses and asset impairments plus the impact of the settlement for a Corporate transaction indemnity plus the loss on early debt redemption plus the noncash loss related to the termination of the U.S. pension plan, net of the statutory tax expense or benefit.
•Adjusted EPS is calculated as adjusted net income divided by the diluted weighted average shares outstanding.
•EBITDA is calculated as net income plus interest expense plus provision for income taxes plus depreciation and amortization. We reconcile EBITDA to net income on a consolidated basis as we do not allocate consolidated interest expense or consolidated provision for income taxes to our segments.
•EBITDA interest coverage is calculated as EBITDA divided by consolidated interest expense.
•Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as EBITDA plus fair value inventory step-up charges plus restructuring expenses and asset impairments plus the impact of the settlement for a Corporate transaction indemnity plus the loss on early debt redemption plus the noncash loss related to the termination of the U.S. pension plan.
•Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated as adjusted EBITDA divided by net sales.
•Adjusted EBITDA interest coverage is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA divided by consolidated interest expense.
•Free cash flow is calculated as cash flow from operating activities less capital expenditures.
