EX-99.1IDEX Corporation to Acquire Mott Corporation, Expanding Applied Materials Science Technology Capabilities Across High-Value End Markets
•Enhances ability to deliver innovative, customized, and highly technical micro-precision solutions that are increasingly essential to customer product performance
•Increases opportunities in semiconductor wafer fab equipment, energy transition, medical technologies, space & defense, and water purification industries
•Complements successful integration of the Muon Group, Iridian Spectral Technologies, and STC Material Solutions, providing unique process-based capabilities working with specialized materials
•Drives near- and long-term value creation through implementation of 8020 and the IDEX Operating Model
NORTHBROOK, Ill., July 23, 2024-- IDEX Corporation (NYSE: IEX) (“IDEX”) today announced it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Mott Corporation and its subsidiaries (“Mott”) for cash consideration of $1 billion (the “transaction”), subject to customary adjustments. When adjusted for the present value of expected tax benefits of approximately $100 million, the net transaction value is approximately $900 million. This represents approximately 19x Mott’s forecasted full year 2024 EBITDA and a mid-teens multiple based on forecasted 2025 EBITDA. The transaction is expected to be accretive to adjusted earnings per share in fiscal year 2026.
Mott is a leader in the design and manufacturing of sintered porous material structures and flow control solutions, with deep applied material science knowledge and process control capabilities. For more than 60 years, Mott has solved highly complex engineering challenges by co-innovating with the world’s largest technical brands and OEMs in dynamic markets including semiconductor, energy, water, and space.
“Mott’s business fits the IDEX sweet spot of highly engineered, configurable mission-critical components focused on scalable select applications. The addition of Mott represents an important step in our evolution, as we continue building our differentiated capabilities in applied materials technologies. Mott brings advanced technical and application expertise that will expand our capabilities in high-value end markets and open new organic growth opportunities. Our focus on driving profitable growth through the enterprise-wide application of 80/20 is expected to yield material benefits,” said Eric D. Ashleman, Chief Executive Officer and President of IDEX. “The addition of Mott supports our strategy to deliver long-term, compounding value to our customers, employees, and shareholders, which includes targeted inorganic growth funded by strong cash flow generation. With shared cultural values, including a deep passion for solving customer challenges through technical capabilities and innovative solutions, our great teams combine to offer meaningful go-to-market opportunities. We look forward to welcoming the over 500 Mott employees to IDEX.”
Transaction Expected to Deliver Significant Strategic and Financial Benefits
Expands applied material science technologies portfolio: Brings scale to IDEX’s growing suite of focused, high-value businesses – including IDEX Optical Technologies, the Muon Group, and recently acquired Iridian Spectral Technologies and STC Material Solutions – that
1
address customer demand for novel solutions and expertise across advanced materials, microscale features, precision components, and proprietary production processes.
Extends similar value proposition into new customer relationships: Like IDEX, Mott develops and delivers essential products and solutions that represent a modest cost relative to the scale of the overall systems and processes that they support. Mott’s strong tradition of innovating closely with OEM customers brings additive, long-term customer relationships, enabling efficient integration into the IDEX family.
Extends capabilities to address unique customer needs: Adds advanced customization and system-design capabilities, deepening IDEX’s position as an innovation partner. This allows IDEX to further address customer needs for extremely precise solutions in fluidic applications from the product to system-level, including the opportunity to offer tailored, cross-functional products. For example, we expect Mott, IDEX Health & Science, Muon, and our Material Processing Technologies businesses to find additive commercial and technology solutions for medical device, healthcare and biotech customers. Within transitioning energy markets, Mott and IDEX’s pneumatics businesses could bring operational and applications expertise to meet customer needs for more efficiency and lower carbon emissions.
Enhances positioning across high-value end markets: Bolsters ability to grow presence in select, technology-enabled applications with substantial growth potential, including across semiconductor wafer fab equipment, the energy transition, medical technologies, space & defense, and water purification.
Adds to long-term growth and margin profile: Combines the technical and commercial excellence of IDEX with leading-edge innovation, technology, and R&D expertise of Mott, which is anticipated to yield meaningful commercial growth synergies over the next three years and drive EBITDA expansion through the proven application of 80/20 as part of the IDEX Operating Model.
“We’re excited to join an industry leader with a strong record of helping customers solve their toughest problems. Mott brings applied material science, chemistry, and application expertise, an additive and complementary customer base, and a growing pipeline of opportunities. When combined with the scale of IDEX, industry-leading positions, and deep technological know-how, this will yield meaningful synergies and benefits. Our culture and capabilities align with IDEX, and our employees will add tremendous value to the company, just as they’ve driven Mott’s growth for generations.” said Boris Levin, President and Chief Executive Officer of Mott.
In 2024, Mott is expected to generate approximately $200 million of revenue, with an EBITDA margin in the low 20s. Mott will join IDEX’s Health & Science Technologies segment. The transaction will be funded through a combination of cash on hand, borrowings from IDEX’s current credit facility, and potential debt issuance, and it is expected to close by the end of the third quarter of 2024, subject to regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
IDEX prepares its public financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). IDEX 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 non-GAAP metrics exclude items not reflective of ongoing operations. Non-GAAP financial performance metrics should not be considered a substitute for, nor superior to, the financial data prepared in accordance with GAAP. EBITDA is calculated as net income plus interest expense plus provision for income taxes plus depreciation and amortization. EBITDA margin is calculated as EBITDA divided by net sales.
3
IDEX has not provided a reconciliation of Mott’s expected EBITDA and EBITDA margin for fiscal year 2024 or 2025 because we are unable to quantify certain amounts that would be required to be included in Mott’s contribution to net income without unreasonable efforts. In addition, IDEX believes such reconciliation would imply a degree of precision that would be confusing or misleading to investors.
