NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Dollars in millions, except per share amounts)

(unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of IDEX Corporation (“IDEX” or the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with 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 months ended March 31, 2022 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, 2021.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In October 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers, which adds contract assets and contract liabilities to the list of exceptions to the recognition and measurement principles that apply to business combinations and requires that an acquirer recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with revenue recognition guidance. ASU 2021-08 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022 and interim periods therein. Early adoption is permitted. Entities should apply the ASU’s provisions prospectively to business combinations occurring on or after the effective date of the amendments. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In November 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-10, Government Assistance (Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 832): Disclosures by Business Entities about Government Assistance, which requires entities to provide certain annual disclosures when they (1) have received government assistance and (2) use a grant or contribution accounting model by analogy to other accounting guidance. ASU 2021-10 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021. Early adoption is permitted, and entities may apply the ASU’s provisions prospectively or retrospectively. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

2. Acquisitions

All of the Company’s acquisitions of businesses have been accounted for under ASC 805, Business Combinations. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities 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 results of operations of ABEL Pumps, L.P. and certain of its affiliates (“ABEL”) and Airtech Group, Inc., US Valve Corporation and related entities (“Airtech”) have been included in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements since the dates of acquisition on March 10, 2021 and June 14, 2021, respectively. Supplemental pro forma information has not been provided as the acquisitions did not have a material impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements individually or in the aggregate.

2022 Acquisition

Nexsight

On February 28, 2022, the Company acquired Nexsight, LLC and its businesses Envirosight, WinCan, MyTana and Pipeline Renewal Technologies (“Nexsight”) in a partial stock and asset acquisition.

purchase price was funded with cash on hand. Goodwill and intangible assets recognized as part of this transaction were $55.0 million and $49.8 million, respectively. The goodwill is partially deductible for tax purposes.

The Company made a preliminary allocation of the purchase price for the Nexsight 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 integrate the newly acquired business, the Company will refine the estimates of fair value and more accurately allocate the 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:

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


	Total		Weighted Average Life
Trade names	$	13.5	15
Customer relationships	31.5		10
Software	4.8		5
Acquired intangible assets	$	49.8

The Company incurred $0.9 million of acquisition-related transaction costs during the three months ended March 31, 2022. 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.

4. Revenue

Disaggregation of Revenue

The Company has a comprehensive offering of products, including technologies, built to customers’ specifications that are sold in niche markets throughout the world. The Company disaggregates its revenue from contracts with customers by reporting unit and geographical region for each segment as the Company believes it best depicts how the amount, nature, timing and uncertainty of its 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 revenue disaggregated by reporting unit and geographical region.

Revenue by reporting unit for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 was as follows:


	Three Months Ended March 31,

Performance Obligations

The Company’s performance obligations are satisfied either at a point in time or over time as work progresses. Revenue from products and services transferred to customers at a point in time approximated 96% of total revenues in both the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021. Revenue from products and services transferred to customers over time approximated 4% of total revenues in both the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.

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 the 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.

The composition of Customer receivables was as follows:

	March 31, 2022		December 31, 2021
Billed receivables	$	397.3	$	344.0
Unbilled receivables	10.1		10.9
Total customer receivables	$	407.4	$	354.9

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 the Company expects to recognize the revenue. The current portion is included in Accrued expenses and the noncurrent portion is included in Other noncurrent liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Advance payments and deposits represent contract liabilities and are recorded when customers remit contractual cash payments in advance of the Company satisfying performance obligations under contractual arrangements, including those with performance obligations satisfied over time. The Company generally receives advance payments from customers related to maintenance services which are recognized ratably over the service term. The Company also receives deposits from customers on certain orders which the Company recognizes 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:


	March 31, 2022		December 31, 2021
Deferred revenue - current	$	59.8	$	49.0
Deferred revenue - noncurrent	30.8		32.2
Total deferred revenue	$	90.6	$	81.2

5. Earnings Per Common Share

Diluted earnings per common share (“EPS”) attributable to IDEX is computed by dividing net income attributable to IDEX 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 non-forfeitable 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, diluted EPS attributable to IDEX was computed using the two-class method prescribed by ASC 260.

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


	Three Months Ended March 31,
		2022	2021
Basic weighted average common shares outstanding		76.1	75.9
Dilutive effect of stock options, restricted stock and performance share units		0.3	0.4
Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding		76.4	76.3

Options to purchase approximately 0.5 million and 0.3 million shares of common stock for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted EPS attributable to IDEX because the effect of their inclusion would have been antidilutive.

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

7. Goodwill and Intangible Assets

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the three months ended March 31, 2022, by reportable business segment, were as follows:


	FMT		HST		FSDP		IDEX
Goodwill	$	701.7	$	1,264.3	$	402.3	$	2,368.3
Accumulated goodwill impairment losses	(20.7)		(149.8)		(30.1)		(200.6)
Balance at December 31, 2021	681.0		1,114.5		372.2		2,167.7

Balance at March 31, 2022	$	734.0	$	1,109.7	$	369.8	$	2,213.5

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 three months of 2022, 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 the Company’s annual impairment test at October 31, 2021, all reporting units had fair values in excess of their carrying values.

11. Fair Value Measurements

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

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

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

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

The following table summarizes the basis used to measure the Company’s financial assets (liabilities) at fair value on a recurring basis in the balance sheets at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021:


	Basis of Fair Value Measurements
	Balance at March 31, 2022		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Trading securities - mutual funds held in nonqualified SERP(1)	$	10.2	$	10.2	$	—	$	—
Available-for-sale securities - equities(2)	44.5		44.5		—		—


	Basis of Fair Value Measurements
	Balance at December 31, 2021		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Trading securities - mutual funds held in nonqualified SERP(1)	$	11.6	$	11.6	$	—	$	—
Available-for-sale securities - equities(2)	45.3		45.3		—		—

(1) The Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (“SERP”) investment assets are offset by a SERP liability which represents the Company’s obligation to distribute SERP funds to participants.

(2) At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the securities are included in Other current assets on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and are available for overnight cash settlement, if necessary, to fund current operations.

There were no transfers of assets or liabilities between Level 1 and Level 2 during the three months ended March 31, 2022 or the year ended December 31, 2021.

The carrying values of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, marketable securities, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of the short term nature of these instruments. At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the fair value of the outstanding indebtedness described in Note 10 based on quoted market prices and current market rates for debt with similar credit risk and maturity was approximately $1,121.2 million and $1,219.9 million, respectively, compared to the carrying value of $1,198.8 million and $1,198.7 million, respectively. 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 the Company’s rating.

12. 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. The Company does not include renewal periods in any of the leases’ terms until the renewal is executed as they are generally not reasonably certain of being exercised. The Company does not have any material purchase options.

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

This approval is in addition to the prior repurchase authorization of the Board of Directors of $300.0 million on December 1, 2015. These authorizations have no expiration date. Repurchases under the program will be funded with future cash flow generation or borrowings available under the Revolving Facility. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company repurchased a total of 147,500 shares at a cost of $28.3 million, of which $2.0 million was settled in April 2022. There were no share repurchases during the three months ended March 31, 2021. As of March 31, 2022, the amount of share repurchase authorization remaining was $683.7 million.

16. Share-Based Compensation

The Company typically grants equity awards annually at its regularly scheduled first quarter meeting of the Board of Directors based on the recommendation from the Compensation Committee.

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

Stock Options

Stock options generally vest ratably over four years, with vesting beginning one year from the date of grant, and generally expire 10 years from the date of grant. The service period for certain retiree eligible participants is accelerated. Weighted average option fair values and assumptions for the periods specified are disclosed below. The fair value of each option grant was estimated on the date of the grant using the Binomial lattice option pricing model (for options granted before March 2021) or the Black Scholes valuation model (for options granted after February 2021). The adoption of the Black Scholes model in 2021 was driven by a review of option exercise history, which more closely aligned with the methodology of the Black Scholes model.

18. 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.

19. 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 increased to $40.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 from $32.9 million during the same period in 2021. The effective tax rate of 22.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2022 decreased slightly compared with 22.6% during the same period in 2021 due to a mix of global pre-tax income across jurisdictions.

20. Subsequent Events

On March 30, 2022, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to acquire KZ CO. ("KZValve") for cash consideration of $120.0 million, subject to customary post-closing adjustments.

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

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes in this quarterly report. This discussion may contain forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties. The Company’s actual results and the timing of selected events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of several factors, including those set forth under Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in the Company’s most recent annual report on Form 10-K and under the heading “Cautionary Statement Under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act” discussed elsewhere in this quarterly report.

This discussion also includes certain non-GAAP financial measures that have been defined and reconciled to their most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures later in this Item under the headings “Non-GAAP Disclosures” and “Free Cash Flow.” This discussion also includes Operating working capital, which has been defined later in this Item under the heading “Cash Flow Summary.” 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.

Overview

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. 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.

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company achieved a record quarter in sales, operating margin and earnings per share driven by robust demand and strong operating performance. Teams successfully navigated the challenging economic environment arising primarily from material availability and logistical challenges and also continued to deliver for customers. The Company expanded operating margin as its highly differentiated product portfolio enabled strong price capture amid inflation pressures and its focus on operational productivity yielded positive results. Finally, the Company deployed additional capital, both within its existing portfolio and with the acquisition of Nexsight to the IDEX family of businesses as well as through share repurchases.

Select key financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2022 when compared to the same period in the prior year are as follows:

•Sales of $751.1 million increased 15%; organic sales (which excludes acquisitions/divestitures and foreign currency translation) were up 12%.

•Operating income of $187.6 million increased 21%. Adjusted operating income increased 18% to $187.6 million.

•Operating margin of 25.0% was up 110 basis points. Adjusted operating margin increased 70 basis points to 25.0%.

•Net income attributable to IDEX of $140.0 million increased 24%. Adjusted net income attributable to IDEX increased 21% to $149.8 million.

•Adjusted EBITDA of $214.7 million was 29% of sales.

•Diluted EPS attributable to IDEX of $1.83 increased $0.35, or 24%. Adjusted EPS attributable to IDEX of $1.96 increased $0.34, or 21%.

•Cash flows provided by operating activities of $79.7 million were down due to increases in working capital, partially offset by higher earnings. Free cash flow of $63.6 million was 42% of adjusted net income attributable to IDEX.

Diluted earnings per common share attributable to IDEX		$	1.83		$	1.48		$	0.35	24	%

Sales increased 15%, reflecting a 12% increase in organic sales, a 5% increase from acquisitions (Airtech - June 2021 and ABEL - March 2021) and a 2% unfavorable impact from foreign currency translation. Sales increased 26% domestically and 6% internationally, and sales to customers outside the U.S. were approximately 50% of total sales in the first quarter of 2022 compared to 54% during the same period in 2021.

Cost of sales increased due to higher sales volume, inflation and acquisitions. Both gross profit and gross margin increased primarily due to higher volume leverage and strong operational productivity together with favorable price/cost, partially offset by higher employee-related costs. Additionally, gross profit increased as a result of acquisitions.

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A) expenses increased primarily due to higher employee-related costs, amortization from acquisitions, discretionary spending and resource investments compared with the same period in 2021.

Restructuring expenses and asset impairments decreased due to severance benefits and asset impairments related to the consolidation of certain facilities in 2021 that did not reoccur in 2022.

Operating income increased 21%, reflecting an 18% increase in organic operating income, a 3% increase from acquisitions (Airtech - June 2021 and ABEL - March 2021) and a 2% favorable impact from lower restructuring costs, partially offset by a 2% unfavorable impact from foreign currency translation. The increase in operating income is attributable to the operating margin drivers discussed below.

Operating margin increased 110 basis points, reflecting a 130 basis point increase in organic operating margin and a 30 basis point favorable impact from lower restructuring costs, partially offset by a 40 basis point decrease due to acquisitions primarily driven by higher amortization and a 10 basis point unfavorable impact from foreign currency translation. The increase in organic operating margin is primarily due to the gross margin drivers discussed above, partially offset by higher discretionary spending and resource investments.

Other income - net increased primarily due to higher gains on asset sales, partially offset by a decrease in the fair market value of marketable securities.

Table of Contents

Interest expense decreased primarily due to lower interest rates on the Company’s indebtedness, partially offset by an increase in the amount of debt outstanding compared with 2021.

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 increased compared with the same period in 2021 primarily due to higher earnings while the effective tax rate slightly decreased compared with the same period in 2021 due to the mix of global pre-tax income across jurisdictions.

Operating margin	29.5		%	25.8		%	370 bps	380 bps	(40) bps	30 bps	—	370 bps

(1) Based on the timing of its acquisition, ABEL results for the first two months of 2022 are reflected in the acquisitions/divestitures column.

•The change in organic sales was attributed to increases in the Pumps reporting unit due to strong demand in the industrial and energy markets, in the Agriculture reporting unit due to favorable commodity prices and global demand for crops and in the Water reporting unit due to strong demand in the municipal and industrial water markets as well as water saving growth projects.

•Sales increased 15% domestically and 9% internationally. Sales to customers outside the U.S. were approximately 45% of total segment sales in the first quarter of 2022 compared with 46% during the same period in 2021.

•Operating margin of 29.5% increased 370 basis points compared with 25.8% during the same period in 2021. The change in operating margin was attributed to the following:

◦Organic operating margin increased 380 basis points due to higher volume leverage and strong operational productivity together with favorable price/cost, partially offset by increases in employee-related costs and resource investments. Additionally, the prior year period was unfavorably impacted by increases in inventory reserves associated with COVID-19 new product development opportunities not materializing and the fair value inventory step-up charge related to the ABEL acquisition.

◦Lower restructuring costs favorably impacted operating margin by 30 basis points.

◦Acquisitions negatively impacted operating margin by 40 basis points due to:

▪Incremental intangible asset amortization from the ABEL acquisition of $0.6 million, which negatively impacted operating margin by 20 basis points; and

▪The dilutive impact from the ABEL acquisition on overall FMT operating margin.

Operating margin	26.5		%	26.6		%	(10) bps	50 bps	(80) bps	20 bps	—	(10) bps

(1) Acquisitions included Airtech in June 2021.

•The change in organic sales was attributed to increases in the Scientific Fluidics & Optics reporting unit due to strong market demand across analytical instrumentation, life science and semiconductor markets as well as targeted growth initiatives tied to next generation sequencing and satellite broadband. Additionally, increases in the Sealing Solutions reporting unit were driven by strong demand in the semiconductor and industrial markets and increases in the Performance Pneumatics Technologies reporting unit were driven by strength in the industrial market.

•Sales increased 62% domestically and 4% internationally. Sales to customers outside the U.S. were approximately 52% of total segment sales in the first quarter of 2022 compared with 63% during the same period in 2021.

•Operating margin of 26.5% decreased 10 basis points compared with 26.6% during the same period in 2021. The change in operating margin was attributed to the following:

◦Organic operating margin increased 50 basis points due to higher volume leverage and favorable price/cost which were more than offset by the dilutive impact of amortization related to Airtech as well as higher employee-related costs, discretionary spending and resource investments.

◦Lower restructuring costs favorably impacted operating margin by 20 basis points.

◦Acquisitions negatively impacted operating margin by 80 basis points as the contributions of the Airtech business were more than offset by incremental intangible asset amortization of $3.9 million, which negatively impacted operating margin by 130 basis points.

•The change in organic sales was driven by an increase in the Dispensing reporting unit due to North American project volume and strong demand in the paint market. Additionally, increases in the BAND-IT reporting unit were due to strong performance in the energy and industrial markets, as the automotive market continued to be challenged by supply-chain related customer delays.

•Sales increased 1% domestically and 5% internationally. Sales to customers outside the U.S. were approximately 54% of total segment sales in the first quarter of 2022 compared with 53% during the same period in 2021.

•Operating margin of 24.6% decreased 330 basis points compared with 27.9% during the same period in 2021. The change in organic operating margin was attributed to higher employee-related costs and discretionary spending as well as compressed price/cost due to long-term original equipment manufacturer contracts, partially offset by higher volume.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity

Although the COVID-19 pandemic (including the emergence of variant strains) 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, share repurchases and quarterly dividend payments to holders of the Company’s common stock for the foreseeable future. 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 March 31, 2022, working capital was $1,213.0 million and the Company’s current ratio was 3.6 to 1. At March 31, 2022, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents totaled $733.2 million, of which $467.7 million was held outside of the United States. As of March 31, 2022, 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.

Cash Flow Summary

The following table is derived from the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
(In millions)	2022		2021
Net cash flows provided by (used in):
Operating activities	$	79.7	$	109.3
Investing activities	(124.4)		(119.5)
Financing activities	(71.3)		(40.4)

Operating Activities

Cash flows provided by operating activities decreased $29.6 million to $79.7 million, primarily due to increases in working capital discussed below, partially offset by higher earnings.

Operating working capital, calculated as accounts receivable plus inventory minus accounts payable, is used by management as a measurement of operational results as well as the short-term liquidity of the Company. The following table details operating working capital as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021:


(In millions)	March 31, 2022		December 31, 2021
Receivables - net	$	411.2	$	356.4
Inventories	428.5		370.4
Less: Trade accounts payable	210.2		178.8
Operating working capital	$	629.5	$	548.0

Table of Contents

Operating working capital increased $81.5 million to $629.5 million at March 31, 2022, with acquisition, divestiture and foreign currency translation impacts primarily driving a net $13.0 million of the increase. Excluding these impacts, accounts receivable increased $45.6 million as a result of higher volume; inventories increased $46.9 million to support production amid supply chain difficulties; and trade accounts payable increased $24.0 million due to higher inventory purchases.

Investing Activities

Cash flows used in investing activities increased $4.9 million to $124.4 million, primarily due to higher cash outflows for acquisitions with the addition of Nexsight in 2022 compared to ABEL in 2021 and for capital expenditures as the Company continues the expansion of its China and India facilities, partially offset by higher proceeds from asset sales.

Financing Activities

Cash flows used in financing activities increased by $30.9 million to $71.3 million. During 2022, the Company repurchased 147,500 shares at a cost of $28.3 million, of which $2.0 million did not settle until April, and paid $41.4 million in dividends. During 2021, the Company did not repurchase any shares and paid $38.1 million in dividends.

Free Cash Flow

The Company believes free cash flow, a non-GAAP measure, is an important measure of performance because it provides a measurement of cash generated from operations that is available for payment obligations such as planned capital expenditures, interest and principal payments on all borrowings and quarterly dividend payments to holders of the Company’s common stock as well as for funding acquisitions. Free cash flow is calculated as cash flows provided by operating activities less capital expenditures.

The following table reconciles free cash flow to cash flows provided by operating activities:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
(Dollars in millions)	2022			2021
Cash flows provided by operating activities	$	79.7		$	109.3
Less: Capital expenditures	(16.1)			(14.6)
Free cash flow	$	63.6		$	94.7
Free cash flow as a percent of adjusted net income attributable to IDEX(1)	42.5		%	76.7		%

(1) Free cash flow as a percent of adjusted net income attributable to IDEX now reflects the impact of excluding acquisition-related intangible asset amortization, net of related taxes, from adjusted net income attributable to IDEX.

The decrease in free cash flow as compared to 2021 is due to the increases in working capital discussed above, which more than offset higher earnings.

Cash Requirements

Pending Acquisitions

On March 30, 2022, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to acquire KZValve for cash consideration of $120.0 million. The Company expects to close the transaction by the end of the second quarter of 2022, subject to regulatory approval and customary closing conditions.

Capital Expenditures

Capital expenditures are generally expenditures for machinery and equipment that support growth and improved productivity, tooling, business system technology, replacement of equipment and investments in new facilities. Cash flows from operations were more than adequate to fund capital expenditures of $16.1 million and $14.6 million in the first quarters of 2022 and 2021, respectively. The Company believes it has sufficient operating cash flow to continue to meet current obligations and invest in planned capital expenditures.

Share Repurchases

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company repurchased 147,500 shares at a cost of $28.3 million, of which $2.0 million did not settle until April. There were no share repurchases during the three months ended March 31, 2021. As of March 31, 2022, the amount of share repurchase authorization remaining was $683.7 million. For additional information regarding the Company’s share repurchase program, refer to Note 15 in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Subsequent to March 31, 2022 and through April 22, 2022, the Company has repurchased 60,362 shares at a cost of $11.7 million.

Covenants

There are two key financial covenants that the Company is required to maintain in connection with the Revolving Facility, the 3.20% Senior Notes and the 3.37% Senior Notes, a minimum interest coverage ratio of 3.0 to 1 and a maximum leverage ratio of 3.50 to 1. At March 31, 2022, the Company was in compliance with both of these financial covenants, as the Company’s interest coverage ratio was 21.68 to 1 for covenant calculation purposes and the leverage ratio was 1.46 to 1. There are no financial covenants relating to the 2.625% Senior Notes or the 3.00% Senior Notes; however, both are subject to cross-default provisions.

Credit Ratings

The Company’s credit ratings, which were independently developed by the following credit agencies, are detailed below:

•S&P Global Ratings affirmed the Company’s corporate credit rating of BBB (stable outlook) in June 2021.

•Moody’s Investors Service affirmed the Company’s corporate credit rating of Baa2 (stable outlook) in December 2021.

•Fitch Ratings reaffirmed the Company’s corporate credit rating of BBB+ (stable outlook) in March 2022.

Critical Accounting Estimates

As discussed in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, 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. There have been no changes to the Company’s critical accounting estimates described in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Non-GAAP Disclosures

Set forth below are reconciliations of each of Organic sales, Adjusted gross profit (and adjusted gross margin), Adjusted operating income (and adjusted operating margin), Adjusted net income attributable to IDEX, Adjusted diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) attributable to IDEX, Earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) and Adjusted EBITDA to its respective most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure. Management uses these metrics to measure performance of the Company since they exclude items that are not reflective of ongoing operations, such as fair value inventory step-up charges, restructuring expenses and asset impairments and gains on sales of assets. Adjusted net income attributable to IDEX and Adjusted diluted EPS attributable to IDEX also exclude acquisition-related intangible asset amortization. Management also supplements its U.S. GAAP financial statements with adjusted information to provide investors with greater insight, transparency and a more comprehensive understanding of the information used by management in its financial and operational decision making. The reconciliation of segment EBITDA and Adjusted segment EBITDA to net income was performed on a consolidated basis due to the fact that the Company does not allocate consolidated interest expense or the consolidated provision for income taxes to its segments.

This report references organic sales and organic operating income, non-GAAP measures, that exclude (1) the impact of foreign currency translation and (2) sales and operating income, respectively, from acquired or divested businesses during the first 12 months of ownership or prior to divestiture. The portion of sales and operating income attributable to foreign currency translation is calculated as the difference between (a) the period-to-period change in organic sales and organic operating

Table of Contents

income, respectively, and (b) the period-to-period change in organic sales and organic operating income, respectively, after applying prior period foreign exchange rates to the current year period. Management believes that reporting organic sales and organic operating income provides useful information to investors by helping to identify underlying growth trends in the Company’s business and facilitating easier comparisons of the Company’s revenue and operating performance with prior and future periods and to its peers. The Company excludes the effect of foreign currency translation from organic sales and organic operating income 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.

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 the Company’s 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 the Company’s industry. Management believes that EBITDA margin is useful for the same reason as EBITDA. EBITDA is also used to calculate certain financial covenants such as EBITDA interest coverage, which is EBITDA divided by consolidated interest expense. In addition, this report presents Adjusted EBITDA, which is EBITDA adjusted for items that are not reflective of ongoing operations as discussed above and Adjusted EBITDA interest coverage, which is Adjusted EBITDA divided by consolidated interest expense. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is useful as a performance indicator of ongoing operations. The Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA is also useful to some investors as an indicator of the strength and performance of the Company and its segments’ ongoing business operations and a way to evaluate and compare operating performance and value companies within the Company’s industry. The definition of Adjusted EBITDA used here may differ from that used by other companies.

This report also references free cash flow. This non-GAAP measure is discussed and reconciled to its most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure in the section above titled “Cash Flow Summary.”

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.

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 as well as inflationary factors. 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 March 31, 2022, 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. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are reported within Other income - net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Interest Rate Fluctuations

The Company does not have significant interest rate exposure due to all of the $1,200.1 million of debt outstanding as of March 31, 2022 being fixed rate debt. The Company’s Revolving Facility bears interest at either an alternate base rate or adjusted LIBOR plus, in each case, an applicable margin. At March 31, 2022, there was no balance outstanding under the Revolving Facility.

Inflation Risk

We source a wide variety of materials and components from a network of global suppliers. While such materials are typically available from numerous suppliers, they are subject to price fluctuations, which could have a negative impact on our results. We seek to minimize the effects of inflation and changing prices through price increases to maintain reasonable gross margins.

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 that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2022.

There has been no change in the Company’s internal control 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 arising in the ordinary course of business as described in Note 18 in Part I, Item 1, “Legal Proceedings,” and such disclosure is incorporated by reference into this Item 1, “Legal Proceedings.”

The Company’s threshold for disclosing material environmental legal proceedings involving a government authority where potential monetary sanctions are involved is $1.0 million.

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. Asbestos-related 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.

January 7, 2021

Dear Melissa,

We are pleased to offer you the position of Senior Vice President and Chief Human Resources Officer for IDEX Corporation (IDEX or the Company), based in Northbrook, Illinois, and reporting directly to me. The following terms apply to this offer:



•			Your appointment is effective on February 1, 2021.



•			Your annual base salary will be Three Hundred Seventy-Five Thousand Dollars and Zero Cents ($375,000.00), payable on a biweekly basis. You will be eligible for a review of your salary with consideration for an increase in March 2022. While we hope that you have a long and mutually beneficial relationship, your employment is considered "at will" and will not be for any fixed term or definite period and may be terminated by you or IDEX at any time.



•			As of the effective date of this promotion, February 1, 2021, you will remain eligible for participation in our Management Incentive Compensation Plan (MICP), as established each fiscal year, which provides annual incentive earnings opportunity based on business unit and personal performance. Your MICP target level of incentive compensation will be sixty percent (60%) of your annual base pay in effect at the beginning of the plan year. The actual pay-out under the plan could be more or less than the target level and will depend on IDEX’s performance and your performance. Attached is a copy of the current MICP Compensation Programs Booklet.



•			You will be eligible to receive a Company car allowance of One Thousand Five Hundred Dollars and Zero Cents ($1,500.00) per month, paid on a bi-weekly basis.



•			You will be eligible for the full range of benefits, including: the IDEX Defined Contribution Retirement Plan, the IDEX 401(k) Savings Plan, medical and dental coverage, short-term and long-term disability coverage, and life insurance. Summaries of these benefit plans are attached.



•			You will be eligible to participate in the Executive Medical Physical Program. IDEX has partnered with the Center for Partnership Medicine at Northwestern Memorial Hospital to provide you with the opportunity to have a full medical examination on an annual basis. The cost of the examination will be paid by IDEX.



•			You will be eligible to enroll in the Executive Long-Term Disability program, which provides additional income in the case of total and permanent disability. This program is fully paid by IDEX. You will be issued an individual policy that provides several additional benefits above and beyond the Group LTD plan that is in place for employees.



•			Based upon your position, you remain eligible to participate in the IDEX Corporation Supplemental Executive Retirement and Deferred Compensation Plan. The purpose of the plan is to provide non-qualified retirement compensation benefits above IRS limits and to provide participants with the ability to defer other amounts of compensation. You will now be eligible for the Supplemental Retirement Contribution portion of the SERP.



•			Subject to approval from our Board of Directors, you will be eligible for equity grants beginning with the 2021 program cycle in the form of a combination of performance stock units and stock options under the IDEX Incentive Award Plan (lAP) at our annual grant as established each fiscal year. The grant value for your position is currently targeted at Three Hundred Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($325,000). Your actual award in any year is dependent upon current program design and your performance. This plan is designed to provide an incentive and reward to key employees who are in a position to make substantial contributions to the success of IDEX.



•			The initial price at which the option awards are granted will be the closing price of IDEX common stock on the grant date. Your options may be exercised after they become vested, and for a period of up to ten years from the date they were awarded. Currently, options vest at the rate of 25% per year.



•			In the event of a "Change in Control", as defined in the Amended and Restated IDEX Corporation Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan, that results in your termination from service within twenty-four (24) months of the Change in Control, the Company shall be obligated to pay your base salary at the rate then in effect and your then current target annual bonus (MICP or equivalent pay) for a minimum of twenty-four (24) months following the date of termination (for a total payment of two (2) times both base salary and target annual bonus). This payment shall not be applicable in the event of your voluntary termination.



•			If, in the future, your employment with IDEX is terminated without cause ("cause" defined as willful misconduct or fraudulent behavior), IDEX will pay you twelve (12) months base salary at the then current monthly base rate plus your targeted annual incentive bonus in exchange for you signing, and not revoking, an IDEX-standard Severance & General Release Agreement. These payments are subject to tax withholdings and deductions. Such benefit will not be applicable in the event of your voluntary termination.

IDEX does require agreement to a Confidential Information, Work Product and Restrictive Covenant Agreement. Please sign and return the signed copy, keeping a second copy for your file.

Please indicate your acceptance of this offer by signing on the line provided below and return a signed copy to me.

Melissa, we have discussed the importance of this role to IDEX. We are confident that your leadership skills and experience can make a significant contribution to the continued success of IDEX, and that this position will be a positive professional step for you.

Sincerely,

/s/ Eric D. Ashleman

Eric D. Ashleman

Chief Executive Officer and President
