NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Dollars in millions, except per share amounts)

(unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of IDEX Corporation (“IDEX” or the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) applicable to interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The statements are unaudited but include all adjustments, consisting only of recurring items, except as noted, that the Company considers necessary for a fair presentation of the information set forth herein. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2023 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, 2022.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In October 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers, which adds contract assets and contract liabilities to the list of exceptions to the recognition and measurement principles that apply to business combinations and requires that an acquirer recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with revenue recognition guidance. The Company adopted this standard on a prospective basis for the annual and interim periods beginning January 1, 2023. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

2. Acquisitions

All of the Company’s acquisitions of businesses have been accounted for under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, Business Combinations. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities of the acquired companies, after adjustments to reflect the fair values assigned to the assets and liabilities, have been included in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements from their respective dates of acquisition. The results of operations of Nexsight, LLC and its businesses Envirosight, WinCan, MyTana and Pipeline Renewal Technologies (“Nexsight”) (acquired February 28, 2022), KZ CO. (“KZValve”) (acquired May 2, 2022) and Muon B.V. and its subsidiaries (“Muon Group”) (acquired November 18, 2022) have been included in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements since the respective dates of acquisition. Supplemental pro forma information has not been provided as the acquisitions did not have a material impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements individually or in the aggregate.

2022 Acquisitions

Nexsight

On February 28, 2022, the Company acquired Nexsight in a partial stock and asset acquisition. Nexsight complements and creates synergies with the Company’s existing iPEK and ADS business units that design and create sewer crawlers, inspection and monitoring systems and software applications that allow teams to identify, anticipate and correct wastewater system issues remotely. Headquartered in Randolph, New Jersey, Nexsight operates in the Company’s Water reporting unit within the Fluid & Metering Technologies (“FMT”) segment. Nexsight was acquired for cash consideration of $112.5 million. The entire purchase price was funded with cash on hand. Goodwill and intangible assets recognized as part of this transaction were $54.7 million and $49.8 million, respectively. The goodwill is partially deductible for tax purposes.

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

The final 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:

KZValve

On May 2, 2022, the Company acquired KZValve in an asset acquisition. KZValve is a leading manufacturer of electric valves and controllers used primarily in agricultural applications. KZValve augments and expands IDEX’s agricultural portfolio, complementing Banjo’s current fluid management solutions for these applications. Headquartered in Greenwood, Nebraska, KZValve operates in the Company’s Agriculture reporting unit within the FMT segment. KZValve was acquired for cash consideration of $120.1 million. The entire purchase was funded with cash on hand. Goodwill and intangible assets recognized as part of this transaction were $56.4 million and $52.0 million, respectively. The goodwill is deductible for tax purposes.

The Company made a preliminary allocation of the purchase price for the KZValve 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, and continues to integrate the newly acquired business, the Company will refine the estimates of fair value and more accurately allocate the purchase price. Only items identified as of the acquisition date are considered for subsequent adjustment. The Company will continue to make required adjustments to the purchase price allocation prior to the completion of the measurement period.

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

Muon Group maintains operations in Hapert, the Netherlands; Eerbeek, the Netherlands; Wijchen, the Netherlands; Dorset, United Kingdom and Pune, India and operates in the Company’s Scientific Fluidics & Optics reporting unit within the Health & Science Technologies (“HST”) segment.

Goodwill and intangible assets recognized as part of this transaction were $393.0 million and $319.1 million, respectively. The goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes.

The Company made a preliminary allocation of the purchase price for the Muon Group 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, and continues to integrate the newly acquired business, the Company will refine the estimates of fair value and more accurately allocate the purchase price. Only items identified as of the acquisition date are considered for subsequent adjustment. The Company will continue to make required adjustments to the purchase price allocation prior to the completion of the measurement period.

4. Revenue

Disaggregation of Revenue

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

Revenue by reporting unit for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 was as follows:

Performance Obligations

The Company’s performance obligations are satisfied either at a point in time or over time as work progresses. Revenue from products and services transferred to customers at a point in time approximated 96% of total revenues in both the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022. Revenue from products and services transferred to customers over time approximated 4% of total revenues in both the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.

Contract Balances

The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections can result in customer receivables, advance payments or billings in excess of revenue recognized. Customer receivables include both amounts billed and currently due from customers as well as unbilled amounts (contract assets) and are included in Receivables on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Amounts are billed in accordance with contractual terms or as work progresses. Unbilled amounts arise when the timing of billing differs from the timing of revenue recognized, such as when contract provisions require specific milestones to be met before a customer can be billed. Unbilled amounts primarily relate to performance obligations satisfied over time when the cost- to-cost method is utilized and the revenue recognized exceeds the amount billed to the customer as there is not yet a right to invoice in accordance with contractual terms. Unbilled amounts are recorded as a contract asset when the revenue associated with the contract is recognized prior to billing and derecognized when billed in accordance with the terms of the contract.

The composition of customer receivables was as follows:


	March 31, 2023		December 31, 2022
Billed receivables	$	428.5	$	421.3
Unbilled receivables	10.2		10.0
Total customer receivables	$	438.7	$	431.3

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

The composition of deferred revenue was as follows:


	March 31, 2023		December 31, 2022
Deferred revenue - current	$	55.4	$	44.7
Deferred revenue - noncurrent	14.5		15.0
Total deferred revenue	$	69.9	$	59.7

5. Earnings Per Common Share

Diluted earnings per common share (“EPS”) attributable to IDEX is computed by dividing Net income attributable to IDEX by the weighted average number of shares of common stock (basic) plus common stock equivalents (diluted) outstanding during the period. Common stock equivalents consist of stock options, which have been included in the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding using the treasury stock method, restricted stock and performance share units.

ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, concludes that all outstanding unvested share-based payment awards that contain rights to non-forfeitable dividends participate in undistributed earnings with common shareholders. If awards are considered participating securities, the Company is required to apply the two-class method of computing basic and diluted earnings per share. The Company has determined that its outstanding shares of restricted stock are participating securities. Accordingly, Diluted EPS attributable to IDEX was computed using the two-class method prescribed by ASC 260.

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


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2023	2022
Basic weighted average common shares outstanding	75.6	76.1
Dilutive effect of stock options, restricted stock and performance share units	0.3	0.3
Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding	75.9	76.4

Options to purchase approximately 0.2 million and 0.5 million shares of common stock for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, were not included in the computation of Diluted EPS attributable to IDEX because the effect of their inclusion would have been antidilutive.

7. Goodwill and Intangible Assets

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the three months ended March 31, 2023, by reportable business segment, were as follows:


	FMT		HST		FSDP		IDEX
Goodwill	$	800.9	$	1,644.8	$	393.0	$	2,838.7
Accumulated goodwill impairment losses	(20.7)		(149.8)		(30.1)		(200.6)

Balance at March 31, 2023	$	781.2	$	1,510.8	$	365.9	$	2,657.9

ASC 350, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, requires that goodwill be tested for impairment at the reporting unit level on an annual basis and between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying value. In the first three months of 2023, 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, 2022, 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, 2022, these indefinite-lived intangible assets had fair values in excess of their carrying values. In the first three months of 2023, there were no events or circumstances that would have required an interim impairment test on these indefinite-lived intangible assets.

Amortization of intangible assets was $23.6 million and $15.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Based on the intangible asset balances as of March 31, 2023, expected amortization expense for the remaining nine months of 2023 and for the years 2024 through 2027 is as follows:


Maturity of Intangible Assets	Estimated Amortization
2023 (excluding the three months ended March 31, 2023)	$	68.8

(1) As of March 31, 2023, the $100.0 million 3.20% Senior Notes, due in June 2023, have not been classified as Short-term borrowings on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as the Company has the ability and intent to either refinance or repay these Notes using the available borrowing capacity of the Revolving Credit Facility, due November 2027. As a result, the 3.20% Senior Notes remain classified as Long-term borrowings on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2023.

(2) At March 31, 2023, there was $79.4 million outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility with an interest rate of 3.32% and $7.5 million of outstanding letters of credit, resulting in a net available borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility of approximately $713.1 million.

(3) The $200.0 million outstanding under the Term Facility bears an interest rate of 5.83%.

At March 31, 2023, the Company was in compliance with covenants contained in the credit agreement associated with the Revolving Credit Facility as well as other long-term debt agreements.

11. Fair Value Measurements

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

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

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

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

The following table summarizes the basis used to measure the Company’s financial assets (liabilities) at fair value on a recurring basis in the balance sheets at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022:


	Basis of Fair Value Measurements
	Balance at March 31, 2023		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Trading securities - mutual funds held in nonqualified SERP(1)	$	8.1	$	8.1	$	—	$	—
Available-for-sale securities - equities(2)	3.2		3.2		—		—


	Basis of Fair Value Measurements
	Balance at December 31, 2022		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Trading securities - mutual funds held in nonqualified SERP(1)	$	7.5	$	7.5	$	—	$	—

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

(2) At March 31, 2023, the securities are included in Other current assets on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and are available for overnight cash settlement, if necessary, to fund current operations.

There were no transfers of assets or liabilities between Level 1 and Level 2 during the three months ended March 31, 2023 or the year ended December 31, 2022.

The carrying values of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, marketable securities, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments. At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the fair value of the outstanding indebtedness described in Note 10 based on quoted market prices and current market rates for debt with similar credit risk and maturity was approximately $1,347.8 million and $1,328.7 million, respectively, compared to the carrying value of $1,478.3 million and $1,476.6 million, respectively. These fair value measurements are classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy since they are determined based upon significant inputs observable in the market, including interest rates on recent financing transactions to entities with a credit rating similar to the Company’s rating.

12. Leases

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

Certain leases include one or more options to renew. The exercise of lease renewal options is at the Company’s sole discretion. The Company does not include renewal periods in any of the leases’ terms until the renewal is executed as they are generally not reasonably certain of being exercised. The Company does not have any material purchase options.

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

15. 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. These authorizations have no expiration date. Repurchases under the program will be funded with future cash flow generation or borrowings available under the Revolving Credit Facility. There were no share repurchases during the three months ended March 31, 2023. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company repurchased a total of 147,500 shares at a cost of $28.3 million, of which $2.0 million was settled in April 2022. As of March 31, 2023, the amount of share repurchase authorization remaining was $563.8 million.

16. Share-Based Compensation

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

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

Stock Options

Stock options granted under the Company’s plans are generally non-qualified and are granted with an exercise price equal to the market price of the Company’s stock on the date of grant. The fair value of each option grant was estimated on the date of the grant using the Black Scholes valuation model. Stock options generally vest ratably over four years, with vesting beginning one year from the date of grant, and generally expire 10 years from the date of grant. The service period for certain retiree eligible participants is accelerated.

Net Sales

Sales for the three months ended March 31, 2023 increased 13%, reflecting a 6% increase in organic sales, a 9% increase from acquisitions (Muon Group - November 2022, KZValve - May 2022 and Nexsight - February 2022) net of divestitures (Knight - September 2022) and a 2% unfavorable impact from foreign currency translation. Sales increased 10% domestically and 15% internationally, and sales to customers outside the U.S. were approximately 51% of total sales in the first quarter of 2023 compared with 50% during the same period in 2022.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2023 increased due to acquisitions, net of divestitures, inflation, higher sales volume and employee-related costs and unfavorable mix, partially offset by a favorable impact from foreign currency translation.

Gross Profit and Gross Margin

Gross profit and Gross margin were both positively impacted by favorable productivity and price/cost, partially offset by unfavorable mix, largely centered in HST, and employee-related inflation. While acquisitions also positively impacted Gross profit, they resulted in a dilutive impact to overall Gross margin.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased primarily due to the impact from acquisitions, including amortization, increases in employee-related costs, which includes an additional $5.8 million of accelerated stock compensation costs for retiree eligible participants, and higher discretionary spending both as compared with the same period in 2022.

Other (Income) Expense - Net

Other (income) expense - net was $0.6 million of income in the first quarter of 2023 compared to $2.3 million of income during the same period in 2022. The decrease was primarily due to $2.5 million of lower gains on the sale of assets and $1.7 million of higher foreign currency transaction losses as compared to the prior year period, partially offset by $1.6 million of gains on trading securities and $0.6 million of higher interest income in the current year period.

T a b l e o f C o n t e n t s

Interest Expense

Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2023 increased compared to the same period in 2022 due to the borrowings incurred under the Revolving Credit Facility and the Term Facility in connection with the Muon Group acquisition in November 2022.

(1) Acquisitions included KZValve in May 2022 and Nexsight in February 2022. Divestitures included Knight in September 2022.

•Sales increased 18% domestically and 19% internationally. Sales to customers outside the U.S. were approximately 45% of total segment sales in both the first quarter of 2023 and the same period in 2022.

•The change in organic sales was attributed to increases in the following:

◦Pumps reporting unit due to price capture and steady demand in the industrial market;

◦Water reporting unit due to strength in the municipal water market, price capture and backlog execution;

◦Valves reporting unit due to strong demand in China and the Middle East; and

◦Energy reporting unit due to favorable demand in the mobile fuel markets as well as price capture.

These increases were partially offset by a decrease in the Agriculture reporting unit due to higher distribution inventory levels and bad weather delaying the planting season.

•Adjusted EBITDA margin of 33.0% increased 50 basis points compared with 32.5% during the same period in 2022. The change in Adjusted EBITDA margin was attributed to the following:

◦Organic Adjusted EBITDA margin increased 150 basis points due to strong price/cost, favorable productivity and higher volume leverage, partially offset by increases in employee-related costs and discretionary spending.

◦Acquisitions negatively impacted Adjusted EBITDA margin by 100 basis points due to the dilutive impact of acquisitions on overall FMT Adjusted EBITDA margin.

(1) Acquisitions included Muon Group in November 2022.

•Sales decreased 2% domestically and increased 23% internationally. Sales to customers outside the U.S. were approximately 57% of total segment sales in the first quarter of 2023 compared with 52% during the same period in 2022.

•The change in organic sales was attributed to increases in the following:

◦Performance Pneumatics Technologies reporting unit due to strong targeted growth performance tied to fuel cells and increased China ventilator sales; and

◦Scientific Fluidics & Optics reporting unit due to strong Next Gen Sequencing instrument demand, satellite broadband targeted growth initiatives and price capture, partially offset by lower demand from Analytical Instrumentation and Life Science original equipment manufacturers due to customer inventory recalibration, softness in the semiconductor market and the non-repeat of revenues from a COVID-19 testing application in the prior year.

These increases were partially offset by decreases in the following:

◦Sealing Solutions reporting unit due to softness in the semiconductor market, partially offset by favorable demand in the automotive, mining and defense markets; and

◦Material Processing Technologies reporting unit due to customer-driven project delays in the pharma and food/nutrition markets.

T a b l e o f C o n t e n t s

•Adjusted EBITDA margin of 28.7% decreased 300 basis points compared with 31.7% during the same period in 2022. The change in Adjusted EBITDA margin was attributed to the following:

◦Organic Adjusted EBITDA margin decreased 330 basis points due to increases in employee-related costs, unfavorable mix and lower volume leverage, partially offset by favorable price/cost.

◦Acquisitions positively impacted Adjusted EBITDA margin by 20 basis points due to the accretive impact of Muon Group on overall HST Adjusted EBITDA margin.

◦Foreign currency positively impacted Adjusted EBITDA margin by 10 basis points.

Fire & Safety/Diversified Products Segment

•Sales increased 17% domestically and decreased 4% internationally. Sales to customers outside the U.S. were approximately 49% of total segment sales in the first quarter of 2023 compared with 54% during the same period in 2022.

•The change in organic sales was attributed to increases in the following:

◦Fire & Safety reporting unit due to strong execution, price realization, share gain with Fire original equipment manufacturers and continued demand for rescue tools; and

◦BAND-IT reporting unit due to continued share gain in the automotive market as well as strong demand in the aerospace, industrial and energy markets.

These increases were partially offset by a decrease in the Dispensing reporting unit due to timing of projects in the Americas and Asia.

•Adjusted EBITDA margin of 28.5% increased 160 basis points compared with 26.9% in 2022. The change in Adjusted EBITDA margin was attributed to the following:

◦Organic Adjusted EBITDA margin increased 170 basis points due to strong productivity, higher volume leverage and favorable price/cost, partially offset by increases in discretionary spending and employee-related costs as well as unfavorable mix.

◦Foreign currency negatively impacted Adjusted EBITDA margin by 10 basis points.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity

Based on management’s current expectations and currently available information, the Company believes current cash, cash from operations and cash available under the Revolving Credit Facility will be sufficient to meet its operating cash requirements, planned capital expenditures, interest and principal payments on all borrowings, pension and postretirement funding requirements, share repurchases and quarterly dividend payments to holders of the Company’s common stock for the foreseeable future. Additionally, in the event that suitable businesses are available for acquisition upon acceptable terms, the Company may obtain all or a portion of the financing for these acquisitions through the incurrence of additional borrowings.

At March 31, 2023, working capital was $1,032.6 million and the Company’s current ratio was 3.1 to 1. At March 31, 2023, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents totaled $510.7 million, of which $392.7 million was held outside of the United States. At March 31, 2023, there was $79.4 million outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility and $7.5 million of outstanding letters of credit, resulting in a net available borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility of $713.1 million. In addition, there was $200.0 million outstanding under the Term Facility. The Company believes that additional borrowings through various financing alternatives remain available, if required.

Operating Working Capital

Operating working capital, calculated as Receivables plus Inventories minus Trade accounts payable, is used by management as a measurement of operational results as well as the short-term liquidity of the Company. The following table details operating working capital as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022:


(In millions)	March 31, 2023		December 31, 2022
Receivables	$	446.5	$	442.8
Inventories	497.6		470.9
Less: Trade accounts payable	(216.0)		(208.9)
Operating working capital	$	728.1	$	704.8

Operating working capital increased $23.3 million to $728.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023. Acquisitions and foreign currency translation contributed $6.9 million to the increase in operating working capital. Excluding those items, Receivables increased $0.6 million as a result of higher volume and price capture; Inventories increased $27.0 million to support planned production; and Trade accounts payable increased $11.2 million due to higher inventory purchases.

Cash Flow Summary

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


	Three Months Ended March 31,
(In millions)	2023		2022
Net cash flows provided by (used in):
Operating activities	$	147.9	$	79.7
Investing activities	(29.2)		(124.4)
Financing activities	(45.2)		(71.3)

Operating Activities

Cash flows provided by operating activities increased $68.2 million to $147.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2023 primarily due to lower investments in working capital in 2023 as compared with 2022.

T a b l e o f C o n t e n t s

Investing Activities

Cash flows used in investing activities decreased $95.2 million to $29.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2023. The change is primarily due to the purchase of Nexsight in 2022, partially offset by higher capital expenditures in the first quarter of 2023.

Financing Activities

Cash flows used in financing activities decreased $26.1 million to $45.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2023 from $71.3 million in the prior year period. The change is primarily due to the repurchase of 147,500 shares at a cost of $28.3 million in the first quarter of 2022, of which $2.0 million did not settle until April 2022.

Free Cash Flow

The Company believes free cash flow, a non-GAAP measure, is an important measure of performance because it provides a measurement of cash generated from operations that is available for payment obligations such as 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 as well as for funding acquisitions and share repurchases. Free cash flow is calculated as cash flows provided by operating activities less capital expenditures.

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


	Three Months Ended March 31,
(Dollars in millions)	2023			2022
Cash flows provided by operating activities	$	147.9		$	79.7
Less: capital expenditures	(26.6)			(16.1)
Free cash flow	$	121.3		$	63.6
Free cash flow as a percent of adjusted net income attributable to IDEX	76.5		%	42.5		%

The increase in free cash flow as compared to 2022 is due to lower investments in working capital in 2023 as compared with 2022, partially offset by higher capital expenditures.

Cash Requirements

Pending Acquisitions

On April 25, 2023, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Iridian Spectral Technologies for cash consideration of 150.0 million Canadian dollars. The Company expects to close the transaction by the end of the second quarter of 2023, subject to customary closing conditions. Refer to Note 20 for further details.

Capital Expenditures

Capital expenditures generally include machinery and equipment that support growth and improved productivity, tooling, business system technology, replacement of equipment and investments in new facilities. The Company believes it has sufficient operating cash flows to continue to meet current obligations and invest in planned capital expenditures. Cash flows from operations were more than adequate to fund capital expenditures of $26.6 million and $16.1 million in the first three months of 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Debt Repayment

As of March 31, 2023, the Company has $100.0 million of 3.20% Senior Notes due June 2023. The Company expects to either refinance or repay the Notes using the available borrowing capacity of the Revolving Credit Facility, due November 2027.

T a b l e o f C o n t e n t s

Share Repurchases

There were no share repurchases during the three months ended March 31, 2023. As of March 31, 2023, the amount of share repurchase authorization remaining was $563.8 million. For additional information regarding the Company’s share repurchase program, refer to Note 15 in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Dividends

Total dividend payments to common shareholders were $45.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared with $41.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Covenants

The key financial covenants that the Company is required to maintain in connection with the Revolving Credit Facility, the Term Facility, the 3.20% Senior Notes and the 3.37% Senior Notes, are a minimum interest coverage ratio of 3.0 to 1 and a maximum leverage ratio of 3.50 to 1. At March 31, 2023, the Company was in compliance with these financial covenants, as the Company’s interest coverage ratio was 22.48 to 1 for covenant calculation purposes and the leverage ratio was 1.55 to 1. There are no financial covenants relating to the 2.625% Senior Notes or the 3.00% Senior Notes; however, both are subject to cross-default provisions.

Credit Ratings

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

•S&P Global Ratings affirmed the Company’s corporate credit rating of BBB (stable outlook) in August 2022.

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

•Fitch Ratings reaffirmed the Company’s corporate credit rating of BBB+ (stable outlook) in April 2023.

Critical Accounting Estimates

As discussed in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, the preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. There have been no changes to the Company’s critical accounting estimates described in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Non-GAAP Disclosures

Set forth below are reconciliations of each of Organic net sales, Adjusted net income attributable to IDEX, Adjusted diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) attributable to IDEX, Consolidated Adjusted earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”) and Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA margin to its respective most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure. Management uses these metrics to measure performance of the Company since they exclude items that are not reflective of ongoing operations, as identified in the reconciliations below. 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.

This report references organic sales, a non-GAAP measure, that 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 the Company’s revenue 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 believes that Adjusted EBITDA, which is EBITDA adjusted for items that are not reflective of ongoing operations, is useful as a performance indicator of ongoing operations. The Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA is useful to 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. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA margin is useful for the same reason as Adjusted EBITDA. The definition of Adjusted EBITDA used here may differ from that used by other companies.

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

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. Due to rounding, numbers presented throughout this and other documents may not add up or recalculate precisely. The financial results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and the reconciliations from these results should be carefully evaluated.

T a b l e o f C o n t e n t s

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Company is subject to market risk associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates as well as inflationary factors. The Company may, from time to time, enter into foreign currency forward contracts and interest rate swaps on its debt when it believes there is a financial advantage in doing so. A treasury risk management policy, adopted by the Board of Directors, describes the procedures and controls over derivative financial and commodity instruments, including foreign currency forward contracts and interest rate swaps. Under the policy, the Company does not use financial or commodity derivative instruments for trading purposes and the use of these instruments is subject to strict approvals by senior officers. Typically, the use of derivative instruments is limited to foreign currency forward contracts and interest rate swaps on the Company’s outstanding long-term debt. As of March 31, 2023, 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, Swedish Krona and Brazilian Real. The Company manages its foreign exchange risk principally through invoicing customers in the same currency as the source of products. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are reported within Other (income) expense - net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

Interest Rate Fluctuations

The Company has interest rate exposure due to $279.4 million of the $1,479.5 million debt outstanding at March 31, 2023 being floating rate debt. The Company’s Revolving Credit Facility and Term Facility both bear interest at either an alternate base rate or adjusted Term SOFR (or appropriate alternative currency reference rates) plus, in each case, an applicable margin based on the lower of the Company’s senior, unsecured, long-term debt rating or the Company’s applicable leverage ratio. At March 31, 2023, there was $79.4 million outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility with an interest rate of 3.32% and $200.0 million outstanding under the Term Facility with an interest rate of 5.83%.

Inflation Risk

The Company sources a wide variety of materials and components from a network of global suppliers. While materials are typically available from numerous suppliers, they are subject to price fluctuations, which could have a negative impact on the Company’s results. The Company seeks to minimize the effects of inflation and changing prices through price increases to maintain reasonable gross margins.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As required by SEC Rule 13a-15(b), the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on the foregoing, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2023.

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.

T a b l e o f C o n t e n t s

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

The Company and its subsidiaries are party to legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business as described in Note 18 in Part I, Item 1, “Legal Proceedings,” and such disclosure is incorporated by reference into this Item 1, “Legal Proceedings.”

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

In addition, the Company and six of its subsidiaries are presently named as defendants in a number of lawsuits claiming various asbestos-related personal injuries, allegedly as a result of exposure to products manufactured with components that contained asbestos. These components were acquired from third party suppliers and were not manufactured by the Company or any of the defendant subsidiaries. To date, the majority of the Company’s settlements and legal costs, except for costs of coordination, administration, insurance investigation and a portion of defense costs, have been covered in full by insurance, subject to applicable deductibles. However, the Company cannot predict whether and to what extent insurance will be available to continue to cover these settlements and legal costs, or how insurers may respond to claims that are tendered to them. Asbestos-related claims have been filed in jurisdictions throughout the United States and the United Kingdom. Most of the claims resolved to date have been dismissed without payment. The balance of the claims have been settled for various immaterial amounts. Only one case has been tried, resulting in a verdict for the Company’s business unit. No provision has been made in the financial statements of the Company, other than for insurance deductibles in the ordinary course, and the Company does not currently believe the asbestos-related claims will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There have been no material changes with respect to risk factors disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

There were no share repurchases during the three months ended March 31, 2023. As of March 31, 2023, the amount of share repurchase authorization remaining was $563.8 million.
