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” 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, 2021 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, 2020.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which eliminates the need to analyze whether the following apply in a given period (1) exception to the incremental approach for intraperiod tax allocation, (2) exceptions to accounting for basis differences when there are ownership changes in foreign investments and (3) exceptions in interim period income tax accounting for year-to-date losses that exceed anticipated losses. This ASU is also designed to improve the application of income tax-related guidance and simplify GAAP for (1) franchise taxes that are partially based on income, (2) transactions with a government that result in a step-up in the tax basis of goodwill, (3) separate financial statements of legal entities that are not subject to tax and (4) enacted changes in tax laws in interim periods. The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2021. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s 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 results of operations associated with the acquisition of ABEL Pumps, L.P. and certain of its affiliates (“ABEL”) have been included in the Company’s condensed consolidated results since the date of acquisition on March 10, 2021.

The Company incurred acquisition-related transaction costs of $2.3 million and $0.7 million in the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $3.7 million and $1.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, 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. The Company recorded a fair value inventory step-up charge associated with the completed 2021 acquisition of ABEL described below in Cost of sales, of which $1.8 million was recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2021 and $2.5 million was recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2021. The Company expects to record a fair value inventory step-up charge associated with the completed 2021 acquisition of Airtech described below in Cost of sales during the remainder of 2021. The Company also recorded a $4.1 million fair value inventory step-up charge associated with the completed 2020 acquisition of Flow Management Devices, LLC (“Flow MD”) described below in Cost of sales during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020.

2021 Acquisitions

On March 10, 2021, the Company acquired the stock of ABEL. ABEL designs and manufactures highly engineered reciprocating positive displacement pumps for a variety of end markets, including mining, marine, power, water, wastewater and other general industries. Headquartered in Büchen, Germany, with sales and service locations in Madrid, Spain and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, ABEL operates in the Company’s Pumps reporting unit within the Fluid & Metering Technologies segment. ABEL was acquired for cash consideration of $106.3 million. The entire purchase price was funded with cash on

hand. Goodwill and intangible assets recognized as part of this transaction were $59.5 million and $46.0 million, respectively. The goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes.

The Company made an initial allocation of the purchase price for the ABEL 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, 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:

(In thousands)	Total
Current assets, net of cash acquired	$	18,419
Property, plant and equipment	4,034
Goodwill	59,481
Intangible assets	46,000
Other noncurrent assets	123
Total assets acquired	128,057
Current liabilities	(7,100)
Deferred income taxes	(14,537)
Other noncurrent liabilities	(84)
Net assets acquired (1)	$	106,336

(1) During the second quarter of 2021, the Company obtained additional information about the assets and liabilities acquired that required a net $0.1 million adjustment to the purchase price of the ABEL business.

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

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 Company’s 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 (defined below) 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, 2021		December 31, 2020
Billed receivables	$	340,467	$	273,536
Unbilled receivables	13,737		14,752
Total customer receivables	$	354,204	$	288,288

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 Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Advance payments and 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. The Company generally receives advance payments from customers related to maintenance services which the Company recognizes 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 (defined below) 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, 2021		December 31, 2020
Deferred revenue - current	$	41,471	$	28,374
Deferred revenue - noncurrent	35,239		30,354
Total deferred revenue	$	76,710	$	58,728

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 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 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 contracts have multiple performance obligations for which the Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation using an estimate of the standalone selling price of each distinct product or

(unaudited)

service in the contract. For product sales, each product sold to a customer generally represents a distinct performance obligation. In such cases, the observable standalone sales are used to determine the standalone selling price. In certain cases, the Company may be required to estimate standalone selling price using the expected cost plus margin approach, under which it forecasts the expected costs of satisfying a performance obligation and then add an appropriate margin for that distinct product or service.

The Company’s 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. The Company defines 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% and 96% of total revenues in the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 95% of total revenues in each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively. Revenue on these contracts is recognized when obligations under the terms of the contract with the 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% and 4% of total revenues in the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 5% of total revenues in the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively. 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 customers. When accounting for over-time contracts, the Company uses 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). The Company believes this measure of progress best depicts the transfer of control to the customer which occurs as the Company incurs costs on its 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 the Company’s contracts, the Company reviews and updates its 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, the Company recognizes 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”) 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 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 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 June 30,		Six Months Ended June 30,
	2021	2020	2021	2020
Basic weighted average common shares outstanding	75,968	75,171	75,930	75,459
Dilutive effect of stock options, restricted stock and performance share units	461	766	455	739
Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding	76,429	75,937	76,385	76,198

Options to purchase approximately 0.3 million and 0.6 million shares of common stock for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and 0.3 million and 0.6 million shares of common stock for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, 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, 2021 and December 31, 2020 were:

	June 30, 2021		December 31, 2020
Raw materials and component parts	$	196,390	$	173,248
Work in process	41,965		29,436
Finished goods	121,724		87,226
Total inventories	$	360,079	$	289,910

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, 2021, by reportable business segment, were as follows:

	FMT		HST		FSDP		IDEX
Goodwill	$	670,442	$	1,012,448	$	413,315	$	2,096,205
Accumulated goodwill impairment losses	(20,721)		(149,820)		(30,090)		(200,631)
Balance at December 31, 2020	649,721		862,628		383,225		1,895,574
Foreign currency translation	(3,392)		(7,754)		(4,106)		(15,252)
Acquisitions	59,481		271,301		0		330,782
Disposition of businesses	0		(129)		0		(129)
Acquisition adjustments	(405)		0		0		(405)
Balance at June 30, 2021	$	705,405	$	1,126,046	$	379,119	$	2,210,570

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 2021, 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, 2020, 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. Based on the results of the Company’s annual impairment test at October 31, 2020, these indefinite-lived intangible assets had fair values in excess of their carrying values. In the first six months of 2021, 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.

Amortization of intangible assets was $13.5 million and $24.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. Amortization of intangible assets was $10.5 million and $20.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively. Based on the intangible asset balances as of June 30, 2021, amortization expense is expected to approximate $31.6 million for the remaining six months of 2021, $61.2 million in 2022, $58.0 million in 2023, $53.5 million in 2024 and $51.7 million in 2025.

On May 28, 2021, the Company completed a public offering of $500.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 2.625% Senior Notes due June 2031 (the “2.625% Senior Notes”). The net proceeds from the offering were approximately $494.8 million, after deducting the issuance discount of $0.6 million, the underwriting commission of $3.3 million and offering expenses of $1.3 million. The net proceeds were used to redeem and repay the $350.0 million aggregate principal amount outstanding of its 4.2% Senior Notes due December 15, 2021 and a make-whole redemption premium, with the remaining balance used for general corporate purposes. The 2.625% Senior Notes bear interest at a rate of 2.625% per annum, which is payable semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year. The 2.625% Senior Notes mature on June 15, 2031. The 2.625% Senior Notes were issued under an Indenture, dated as of December 6, 2010 (the “Base Indenture”), between the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), as supplemented by the Fourth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of May 28, 2021 (the “Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture and other supplements thereto, the “Indenture”), between the Company and the Trustee.

The Company may redeem all or a portion of the 2.625% Senior Notes at any time prior to maturity at the redemption prices set forth in the Indenture. The Indenture and 2.625% Notes contain covenants that limit the Company’s ability to, among other things, incur certain liens, enter into certain sale and leaseback transactions and enter into certain mergers, consolidations and transfers of substantially all of the Company’s assets. The terms of the 2.625% Senior Notes also require the Company to make an offer to repurchase the 2.625% 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 or warranties in the Indenture and certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization. Generally, if an event of default occurs, the Trustee or holders of at least 25% of the then outstanding 2.625% Senior Notes may declare the principal amount of all of the 2.625% Senior Notes to be due and payable immediately.

On May 17, 2021, the Company provided notice of its election to redeem early, on June 16, 2021, the $350.0 million aggregate principal amount outstanding of its 4.2% Senior Notes at a redemption price of $350.0 million plus a make-whole redemption premium of $6.7 million using proceeds from the Company’s 2.625% Senior Notes. In addition, the Company recognized the remaining $1.3 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 4.2% 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 4.2% Senior Notes as well as $0.4 million of deferred taxes for a total loss on early debt redemption of $8.6 million which was recorded within Other (income) expense - net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.

On April 29, 2020, the Company completed a public offering of $500.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 3.0% Senior Notes due May 2030 (the “3.0% Senior Notes”). The net proceeds from the offering were approximately $494.4 million, after deducting the issuance discount of $0.9 million, the underwriting commission of $3.3 million and offering expenses of $1.4 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 Indenture. 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 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020.

On May 31, 2019, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) along with certain of its subsidiaries, as borrowers (the “Borrowers”), Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, swing line lender and an issuer of letters of credit, with other agents party thereto. 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.

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%. 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. There are two key financial covenants that the Company is required to maintain in connection with the Credit Agreement and the Notes: a minimum interest coverage ratio of 3.0 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”), both of which are tested quarterly and 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, 2021, the Company was in compliance with each financial covenant under the Credit Agreement and the Notes. There are no financial covenants relating to the 3.0% Senior Notes or the 2.625% Senior Notes; however, both are subject to cross-default provisions. 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, 2021, there was 0 balance outstanding under the Revolving Facility and $7.2 million of outstanding letters of credit, resulting in a net available borrowing capacity under the Revolving Facility at June 30, 2021 of approximately $792.8 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 13th and December 13th. 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 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.

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, 2021 and 2020. As of June 30, 2021, the Company did not have any interest rate contracts outstanding.

In 2010 and 2011, the Company entered into 2 separate forward starting interest rate exchange agreements in anticipation of the issuance of the 4.5% Senior Notes and the 4.2% Senior Notes. The Company cash settled these two interest

rate contracts in 2010 and 2011 for a total of $68.9 million, which was being amortized into interest expense over the 10 year terms of the respective debt instruments. 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 in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020. In conjunction with the early redemption of the 4.2% Senior Notes on June 16, 2021, the Company accelerated the recognition of the remaining $1.3 million of the pre-tax amount included in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in shareholders’ equity related to the 4.2% Senior Notes and recorded such as Other (income) expense - net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021. As of June 30, 2021, there was no balance in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) related to the cumulative unrealized gain (loss) on derivatives.

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, 2021 and December 31, 2020:

	Basis of Fair Value Measurements
	Balance at June 30, 2021		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Available for sale securities	$	10,689	$	10,689	$	0	$	0

	Basis of Fair Value Measurements
	Balance at December 31, 2020		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Available for sale securities	$	13,554	$	13,554	$	0	$	0

There were no transfers of assets or liabilities between Level 1 and Level 2 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 or the year ended December 31, 2020.

The carrying values of the Company’s 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, 2021, the fair value of the outstanding indebtedness under the Company’s 2.625% Senior Notes, 3.0% Senior Notes, 3.2% Senior Notes, 3.37% Senior Notes and other borrowings based on quoted market prices and current market rates for debt with similar credit risk and maturity was approximately $1,234.3 million compared to the carrying value of $1,198.7 million. At December 31, 2020, the fair value of the outstanding indebtedness under the Company’s 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 $1,127.6 million compared to the carrying value of $1,049.3 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 the Company’s rating.

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 1 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.

The Company expects to contribute approximately $3.4 million to its defined benefit plans and $1.0 million to its other postretirement benefit plans in 2021. During the first six months of 2021, the Company contributed a total of $2.2 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. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company settled its remaining obligations under the U.S. pension plan through a combination of lump-sum payments to eligible participants who elected them, and through the purchase of annuities from Legal and General, an A rated third-party insurer. The Company recognized a net loss of $9.7 million which was recorded within Other (income) expense - net. The net loss consisted of $10.7 million related to previously deferred pension related costs, partially offset by $1.0 million related to an increase in plan assets remaining after the settlement. The plan assets of $11.2 million remaining after the settlement were

recorded as a current asset. These assets will be used to fund the Company’s other retirement benefit plans over the next twelve months.

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.

In evaluating whether to accrue for a contingency, the Company considers the facts and circumstances asserted, historical experience, the likelihood of prevailing and the severity of any potential loss. During the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recorded a contingent reserve of $3.9 million associated with a Corporate transaction indemnity for a prior divestiture.

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 increased to $27.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $20.8 million during the same period in 2020. The effective tax rate decreased to 21.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to 22.7% during the same period in 2020 primarily due to the impact of the finalization of the Global Intangible Low-Tax Income (“GILTI”) regulations enacted post second quarter of 2020 as well as an increase in the Foreign-Derived Intangible Income (“FDII”) deduction due to an increase in US foreign sourced income.

The provision for income taxes increased to $60.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 from $46.3 million during the same period in 2020. The effective tax rate increased to 22.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to 21.1% during the same period in 2020 primarily due to a decrease in the excess tax benefits related to share-based compensation offset by the impact of the final GILTI regulations and increase in FDII.

The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction as well as 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 within the next twelve months by a range of 0 to $0.1 million.

Overview

IDEX Corporation (“IDEX” 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 its three reportable segments, the Company maintains 13 reporting units that focus on organic growth and strategic acquisitions. Each of the 13 reporting units is tested annually for goodwill impairment.

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

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 12 months of ownership or prior to 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 the Company’s business and facilitating easier comparisons of its revenue performance with prior and future periods and to its 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 its 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 its 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” 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, such as a fair value inventory step-up charge, restructuring expenses and asset impairments, a charge related to recording a contingent reserve for a Corporate transaction indemnity, the loss on early debt redemption and the noncash loss related to the termination of the U.S pension plan, 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 its industry. The definition of Adjusted EBITDA used here may differ from that used by other companies.

36

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 the Company does not allocate consolidated interest expense or the consolidated provision for income taxes to its segments.

Management uses Adjusted gross profit, Adjusted operating income, Adjusted net income, Adjusted earnings per share (“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 a fair value inventory step-up charge, restructuring expenses and asset impairments, a charge related to recording a contingent reserve for a Corporate transaction indemnity, the loss on early debt redemption and the noncash loss related to the termination of the U.S pension plan. Management also uses free cash flow as a 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 the Company’s common stock. Each of Adjusted gross profit, Adjusted operating income, Adjusted net income, Adjusted EPS, Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow are non-GAAP measures and have been reconciled to their most directly comparable GAAP measures in 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 the Company’s key financial results for the three months ended June 30, 2021 when compared to the same period in the prior year are as follows:

•Sales of $685.9 million increased 22%; organic sales (which excludes acquisitions and foreign currency translation) were up 17%.

•Operating income of $158.3 million increased 43%. Adjusted for a $1.8 million pre-tax fair value inventory step-up charge, $3.1 million of restructuring expenses and asset impairments and a $3.9 million charge related to recording a contingent reserve for a Corporate transaction indemnity, adjusted operating income increased 41% to $167.1 million.

•Net income attributable to IDEX of $102.2 million increased 44%. Adjusted for a $1.3 million fair value inventory step-up charge, $2.4 million of restructuring expenses and asset impairments, a $3.1 million charge related to recording a contingent reserve for a Corporate transaction indemnity, the $6.7 million loss on early debt redemption and the $7.6 million noncash loss related to the termination of the U.S pension plan, all net of related tax benefits, adjusted net income increased 47% to $123.2 million.

•EBITDA of $165.5 million was 24% of sales and covered interest expense by almost 15 times. Adjusted EBITDA of $192.6 million was 28% of sales and covered interest expense by over 17 times.

•Diluted EPS of $1.34 increased 41 cents, or 44%. Adjusted EPS of $1.61 increased 51 cents, or 46%.

Some of the Company’s key financial results for the six months ended June 30, 2021 when compared to the same period in the prior year are as follows:

•Sales of $1,338.0 million increased 16%; organic sales (which excludes acquisitions and foreign currency translation) were up 11%.

•Operating income of $313.8 million increased 25%. Adjusted for a $2.5 million pre-tax fair value inventory step-up charge, $5.4 million of restructuring expenses and asset impairments and a $3.9 million charge related to recording a contingent reserve for a Corporate transaction indemnity, adjusted operating income increased 26% to $325.6 million.

•Net income attributable to IDEX of $214.9 million increased 24%. Adjusted for a $1.7 million fair value inventory step-up charge, $4.1 million of restructuring expenses and asset impairments, a $3.1 million charge related to recording a contingent reserve for a Corporate transaction indemnity, the $6.7 million loss on early debt redemption and the $7.6 million noncash loss related to the termination of the U.S pension plan, all net of related tax benefits, adjusted net income increased 28% to $238.1 million.

•EBITDA of $343.5 million was 26% of sales and covered interest expense by almost 16 times. Adjusted EBITDA of $373.5 million was 28% of sales and covered interest expense by 17 times.

•Diluted EPS of $2.81 increased 54 cents, or 24%. Adjusted EPS of $3.11 increased 67 cents, or 27%.

The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction as well as 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 within the next twelve months by a range of zero to $0.1 million.

Results of Operations

The following is a discussion and analysis of the Company’s results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. Segment operating income and EBITDA exclude unallocated corporate operating expenses of $24.0 million and $17.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $42.5 million and $34.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Consolidated Results for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2021 Compared with the Same Period in 2020

(In thousands)	Three Months Ended June 30,
	2021			2020
Net sales	$	685,947		$	561,249
Operating income	158,256			110,594
Operating margin	23.1		%	19.7		%

Sales in the second quarter of 2021 were $685.9 million, which was a 22% increase compared to the same period in 2020. This reflects a 17% increase in organic sales, a 4% favorable impact from foreign currency translation and a 1% increase from acquisitions (ABEL - March 2021 and Flow MD - February 2020) partially offset by divestitures (CiDRA Precision Services - March 2021). Sales to customers outside the U.S. represented approximately 54% of total sales in the second quarter of 2021 compared to 48% during the same period in 2020.

Gross profit of $306.1 million in the second quarter of 2021 increased $71.3 million, or 30%, compared to the same period in 2020 and gross margin of 44.6% in the second quarter of 2021 increased 280 basis points from 41.8% during the same period in 2020 as a result of higher volume and price capture, partially offset by inflation and supply chain constraints.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $144.7 million in the second quarter of 2021 from $120.4 million during the same period in 2020. The increase is primarily due to higher fixed and variable compensation expenses and higher amortization due to acceleration of certain trade names. Corporate costs increased to $23.3 million in the second quarter of 2021 from $17.0 million during the same period in 2020 primarily as a result of a charge related to recording a contingent reserve for a Corporate transaction indemnity as well as higher professional fees related to acquisitions and a strategy project. As a percentage of sales, selling, general and administrative expenses were 21.1% for the second quarter of 2021, down 30 basis points compared to 21.4% during the same period in 2020.

The Company incurred $3.1 million of restructuring expenses and asset impairments in the second quarter of 2021 primarily related to severance benefits for cost reduction actions consisting of employee reductions as well as asset impairments related to property, plant and equipment resulting from the consolidation of certain facilities. The restructuring expenses in the second quarter of 2020 all related to severance benefits.

Operating income of $158.3 million and operating margin of 23.1% in the second quarter of 2021 were up from $110.6 million and 19.7%, respectively, during the same period in 2020. The increase in operating income and operating margin were driven by higher volume and price capture, partially offset by inflation, supply chain constraints, a recovery in discretionary spending and a charge related to recording a contingent reserve for a Corporate transaction indemnity.

Other (income) expense - net increased to $17.2 million of expense in the second quarter of 2021 compared to $6.5 million of expense during the same period in 2020, primarily due to a $9.7 million noncash loss related to the termination of the U.S pension plan and $0.8 million of lower gains on pension-related investments. Other (income) and expense - net includes a loss on early debt redemption of $8.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and $8.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020.

Interest expense of $11.2 million in the second quarter of 2021 was lower than the $12.4 million during the same period in 2020 due to lower interest expense on the new 2.625% Senior Notes issued during the second quarter of 2021 and borrowings under the Revolving Facility in 2020 that did not reoccur in 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 to $27.7 million in the second quarter of 2021 compared to $20.8 million during the same period in 2020. The effective tax rate decreased to 21.3% in the second quarter of 2021 compared to

38

22.7% during the same period in 2020 primarily due to the impact of the finalization of the Global Intangible Low-Tax Income (“GILTI”) regulations enacted post second quarter of 2020 as well as an increase in the Foreign-Derived Intangible Income (“FDII”) deduction due to an increase in US foreign sourced income.

Net income attributable to IDEX of $102.2 million in the second quarter of 2021 increased from $70.9 million during the same period in 2020. Diluted earnings per share of $1.34 in the second quarter of 2021 increased from $0.93 during the same period in 2020.

For the three months ended June 30, 2021, Fluid & Metering Technologies contributed 37% of sales, 35% of operating income and 33% of EBITDA; Health & Science Technologies contributed 40% of sales, 42% of operating income and 45% of EBITDA; and Fire & Safety/Diversified Products contributed 23% of sales, 23% of operating income and 22% of EBITDA. These percentages are calculated on the basis of total segment (not total Company) sales, operating income and EBITDA.

The restructuring expenses in the first six months of 2020 all related to severance benefits.

Operating income of $313.8 million and operating margin of 23.5% in the first six months of 2021 were up from the $250.5 million and 21.7%, respectively, recorded during the same period in 2020. The increases in operating income and operating margin are primarily due to higher volume and price capture, partially offset by inflation, supply chain constraints, a recovery in discretionary spending and a charge related to recording a contingent reserve for a Corporate transaction indemnity.

Other (income) expense - net was $16.3 million of expense in the first six months of 2021 compared to $8.0 million of expense during the same period in 2020, primarily due to a $9.7 million noncash loss related to the termination of the U.S pension plan, partially offset by $0.7 million higher gains on pension-related investments. Other (income) and expense - net includes a loss on early debt redemption of $8.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and $8.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Interest expense of $22.0 million in the first six months of 2021 was slightly lower than the $23.3 million during the same period in 2020 due to lower interest expense on the new 2.625% Senior Notes issued during the second quarter of 2021 and borrowings under the Revolving Facility in 2020 that did not reoccur in 2021.

The provision for income taxes increased to $60.6 million in the first six months of 2021 compared to $46.3 million during the same period in 2020. The effective tax rate increased to 22.0% in the first six months of 2021 compared to 21.1% during the same period in 2020 primarily due to a decrease in the excess tax benefits related to share-based compensation offset by the impact of the final GILTI regulations and increase in FDII deduction.

Net income attributable to IDEX of $214.9 million in the first six months of 2021 increased from $172.9 million during the same period in 2020. Diluted earnings per share of $2.81 in the first six months of 2021 increased $0.54, or 24%, compared to the same period in 2020.

For the six months ended June 30, 2021, Fluid & Metering Technologies contributed 37% of sales, 35% of operating income and 34% of EBITDA; Health & Science Technologies contributed 39% of sales, 40% of operating income and 42% of EBITDA; and Fire & Safety/Diversified Products contributed 24% of sales, 25% of operating income and 24% of EBITDA. These percentages are calculated on the basis of total segment (not total Company) sales, operating income and EBITDA.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Operating Activities

Cash flows from operating activities for the first six months of 2021 decreased $8.6 million, or 3%, to $245.6 million compared to the first six months of 2020 primarily due to volume driven increases in working capital and timing of tax payments, partially offset by higher earnings. At June 30, 2021, working capital was $1,043.3 million and the Company’s current ratio was 3.3 to 1. At June 30, 2021, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents totaled $714.4 million, of which $519.3 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 indirect 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 at least the next twelve months.

Investing Activities

Cash flows used in investing activities for the first six months of 2021 increased by $468.8 million to $609.3 million compared to the same period in 2020, primarily due to higher cash outflows for acquisitions and higher capital expenditures.

Cash flows from operations were more than adequate to fund capital expenditures of $30.6 million and $21.1 million in the first six months of 2021 and 2020, respectively. The Company believes it has sufficient operating cash flow to continue to meet current obligations and invest in planned 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. Management believes that the Company has ample capacity in its plants and equipment to meet demand increases for future growth in the intermediate term.

43

Financing Activities

Cash flows provided by financing activities for the first six months of 2021 were $64.0 million compared to $2.1 million provided by financing activities during the same period in 2020, primarily due to lower share repurchases, partially offset by higher payments of Senior Notes.

Liquidity

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 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. As of June 30, 2021, there was no balance outstanding under the Revolving Facility and $7.2 million of outstanding letters of credit, resulting in a net available borrowing capacity under the Revolving Facility of $792.8 million. The Company believes that additional borrowings through various financing alternatives remain available, if required.

On May 28, 2021, the Company completed a public offering of $500.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 2.625% Senior Notes due June 2031 (the “2.625% Senior Notes”). The net proceeds from the offering were approximately $494.8 million, after deducting the issuance discount of $0.6 million, the underwriting commission of $3.3 million and offering expenses of $1.3 million. The net proceeds were used to redeem and repay the $350.0 million aggregate principal amount outstanding of its 4.2% Senior Notes due December 15, 2021 and a make-whole redemption premium, with the balance used for general corporate purposes. The 2.625% Senior Notes bear interest at a rate of 2.625% per annum, which is payable semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year. The 2.625% Senior Notes mature on June 15, 2031. The 2.625% Senior Notes were issued under an Indenture, dated as of December 6, 2010 (the “Base Indenture”), between the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), as supplemented by the Fourth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of May 28, 2021 (the “Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture and other supplements thereto, the “Indenture”), between the Company and the Trustee.

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 May 2030 (the “3.0% Senior Notes”). The net proceeds from the offering were approximately $494.4 million, after deducting the issuance discount of $0.9 million, the underwriting commission of $3.3 million and offering expenses of $1.4 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.

On May 31, 2019, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) along with certain of its subsidiaries, as borrowers (the “Borrowers”), Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, swing line lender and an issuer of letters of credit, with other agents party thereto. 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, 2021, there was no balance outstanding under the Revolving Facility and $7.2 million of outstanding letters of credit, resulting in a net available borrowing capacity under the Revolving Facility of $792.8 million.

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%. 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 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.

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

44

(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 13th and December 13th. 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.

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, 2021, the Company was in compliance with both of these financial covenants, as the Company’s interest coverage ratio was 16.07 to 1 and the leverage ratio was 1.66 to 1. There are no financial covenants relating to the 3.0% Senior Notes or the 2.625% Senior Notes; however, both are subject to cross-default provisions. 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.

Share Repurchases

On March 17, 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors approved an increase of $500.0 million in the authorized level of repurchases of common stock. This approval is in addition to the prior repurchase authorization of the Board of Directors of $300.0 million on December 1, 2015. Repurchases under the program will be funded with future cash flow generation or borrowings available under the Revolving Facility. There were no share repurchases during the six months ended June 30, 2021. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company repurchased a total of 876 thousand shares at a cost of $110.3 million. As of June 30, 2021, the amount of share repurchase authorization remaining is $712.0 million.

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. The Company has 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 the Company does not allocate consolidated interest expense or the consolidated provision for income taxes to its segments.

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 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, as discussed in Note 11 in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1, “Financial Statements” 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, such as a fair value inventory step-up charge, restructuring expenses and asset impairments, a charge related to recording a contingent reserve for a Corporate transaction indemnity, the loss on early debt redemption and the noncash loss related to the termination of the U.S. pension plan, 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 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

45

businesses during the first 12 months of ownership or prior to 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 the Company’s business and facilitating easier comparisons of the Company’s revenue performance with prior and future periods and to its 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 a fair value inventory step-up charge, restructuring expenses and asset impairments, a charge related to recording a contingent reserve for a Corporate transaction indemnity, the loss on early debt redemption and the noncash loss related to the termination of the U.S. pension plan. 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.

In addition to measuring the Company’s cash flow generation and usage based upon the operating, investing and financing classifications included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, the Company also measures free cash flow (a non-GAAP measure) which represents net cash provided by operating activities minus capital expenditures. The Company believes 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 the Company’s common stock.

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.

Critical Accounting Policies

As discussed in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, 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, 2020.

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, 2021, 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 $1,200.1 million of debt outstanding as of June 30, 2021 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 that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2021.

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 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. 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.

In evaluating whether to accrue for losses associated with legal or other contingencies, the Company takes into consideration factors such as the facts and circumstances asserted, historical experience, the likelihood of prevailing and the severity of any potential loss. During the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recorded a contingent reserve of $3.9 million associated with a Corporate transaction indemnity for a prior divestiture.

(1)On March 17, 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors approved an increase of $500.0 million in the authorized level of repurchases of common stock. 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.
