IDEX REPORTS SECOND QUARTER RESULTS; RAISES FULL YEAR GUIDANCE

NORTHBROOK, IL, JULY 27 - IDEX Corporation (NYSE: IEX) today announced its financial results for the three month period ended June 30, 2021.

•Record orders of $751.0 million up 44 percent overall and 39 percent organically compared to Q2 2020

•Full year adjusted EPS guidance raised to $6.26 to $6.36 compared to prior guidance of $6.05 to $6.20
•Finalized the termination of the U.S. pension plan and refinanced the 4.2% Senior Notes to 2.625%

Second Quarter 2021
Orders of $751.0 million were up 44 percent compared with the prior year period (+39 percent organic, +1 percent acquisitions/divestitures and +4 percent foreign currency translation).

Sales of $685.9 million were up 22 percent compared with the prior year period (+17 percent organic, +1 percent acquisitions/divestitures and +4 percent foreign currency translation).
Gross margin of 44.6 percent was up 280 basis points compared with the prior year period primarily as a result of higher volume and price capture, partially offset by inflation and supply chain constraints. Excluding the $1.8 million pre-tax fair value inventory step-up charge related to our first quarter acquisition of ABEL Pumps, L.P. and certain of its affiliates (ABEL Pumps), adjusted gross margin of 44.9 percent was up 230 basis points compared with the adjusted prior year period.

Operating income of $158.3 million resulted in an operating margin of 23.1 percent, which was up 340 basis points compared with the prior year period primarily as a result of 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. Excluding the $1.8 million pre-tax fair value inventory step-up charge, $3.1 million of restructuring expenses and asset impairments and the $3.9 million charge related to recording a contingent reserve for a Corporate transaction indemnity, adjusted operating income was $167.1 million with an adjusted operating margin of 24.4 percent, up 330 basis points compared with the adjusted prior year period.

Provision for income taxes of $27.7 million in the second quarter of 2021 resulted in an effective tax rate (ETR) of 21.3 percent, which was lower than the prior year period ETR of 22.7 percent primarily due to benefits from foreign sourced income in the second quarter of 2021.

Net income attributable to IDEX was $102.2 million, which resulted in EPS attributable to IDEX of $1.34. Excluding the fair value inventory step-up charge, restructuring expenses and asset impairments, the charge related to recording a contingent reserve for a Corporate transaction indemnity, loss on early debt


redemption and the noncash loss related to the termination of the U.S. pension plan, adjusted EPS attributable to IDEX was $1.61, an increase of 51 cents, or 46.4 percent, from the prior year period. EBITDA of $165.5 million was 24.1 percent of sales and covered interest expense by almost 15 times. Adjusted EBITDA of $192.6 million was 28.1 percent of sales and covered interest expense by over 17 times.

Cash from operations of $136.3 million was down 20 percent from the prior year period primarily due to volume driven increases in working capital and timing of tax payments, partially offset by higher earnings, and was 133 percent of net income attributable to IDEX. Cash from operations led to free cash flow of $120.3 million, which was down 25 percent from the prior year period and was 98 percent of adjusted net income attributable to IDEX.

“Our recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic continues as orders of $751 million and sales of $686 million reached record levels in the second quarter. Backlog is at a record level resulting from strong demand across all segments and geographies, with $65 million added in the second quarter. I want to thank all IDEX team members across the globe who are dealing with many obstacles associated with this recovery. Global supply chain constraints, component shortages and inflation are daily challenges, but the teams continue to deliver for our customers, and IDEX continues to perform extremely well. Our price capture continues to outpace material inflation and we drove strong flow through of 39 percent, resulting in an adjusted operating margin of 24.4 percent and a record adjusted EPS of $1.61.
We deployed a significant amount of capital in the first half of the year. We invested over $575 million in M&A, including the acquisition of Airtech in the second quarter. We also raised our quarterly dividend by 8 percent to $0.54 per share and increased capital spending in our businesses by 45 percent compared to the first half of 2020. Our balance sheet remains healthy as we have over $2.0 billion available to us for potential investments in additional strategic M&A and organic growth initiatives over the next 12 months.
Based on the continued strength in orders across our portfolio, record backlog and incremental pricing actions, we are now projecting 11 to 12 percent organic sales growth for the full year 2021, with a 14 to 16 percent organic sales increase in the third quarter. Full year 2021 adjusted EPS is now projected to be $6.26 to $6.36, with third quarter adjusted EPS of $1.57 to $1.61. This includes 6 cents in the second half of the year attributable to the Airtech acquisition.”

Corporate costs increased to $24.0 million in the second quarter of 2021 from $17.2 million in the second quarter of 2020 primarily as a result of the 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.

Debt Offering and Redemption
On May 17, 2021, the Company completed a public offering of $500.0 million 2.625% Senior Notes due June 15, 2031. The net proceeds from the offering were $494.8 million. The net proceeds were used to redeem and repay the $350.0 million 4.2% Senior Notes due December 15, 2021 and the related “make-whole” redemption premium of $6.7 million, with the remaining balance used for general corporate purposes. The Company also recognized $1.9 million of deferred costs related to the 4.2% Senior Notes for a total loss on early debt redemption of $8.6 million, which was recorded within Other (income) expense - net.

Acquisition
On June 14, 2021, the Company acquired Airtech. Airtech designs and manufactures a wide range of highly-engineered pressure technology products, including vacuum pumps, regenerative blowers, compressor systems and valves for a variety of end markets, including alternative energy, food processing, medical, packaging and transportation. Headquartered in Rutherford, New Jersey, with manufacturing operations in Werneck, Germany and Shenzhen, China, Airtech operates in our Performance Pneumatic Technologies reporting unit within the Health & Science Technologies segment.


Airtech was acquired for cash consideration of $469.3 million. The entire purchase price was funded with cash on hand.

Termination of U.S. Pension Plan
On June 17, 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.

Non-GAAP Measures of Financial Performance
The Company prepares its public financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). The Company supplements certain GAAP financial performance metrics with non-GAAP financial performance metrics. Management believes these non-GAAP financial performance metrics provide investors with greater insight, transparency and a more comprehensive understanding of the financial information used by management in its financial and operational decision-making because certain of these adjusted metrics exclude items not reflective of ongoing operations, such as fair value inventory step-up charges, restructuring expenses and asset impairments, loss on early debt redemption, noncash loss related to the termination of the U.S. pension plan and a charge related to recording a contingent reserve for a Corporate transaction indemnity. Reconciliations of non-GAAP financial performance metrics to their most comparable GAAP financial performance metrics are defined and presented below and should not be considered a substitute for, nor superior to, the financial data prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company does not provide forward-looking guidance for EPS on a GAAP basis because it is unable to predict certain items contained in the GAAP measure without unreasonable efforts. These items may include restructuring expenses and asset impairments, special tax items, acquisition-related transaction costs and certain other unusual adjustments. There were no adjustments to GAAP financial performance metrics other than the items noted below.
•Organic orders and sales are calculated excluding amounts from acquired or divested businesses during the first twelve months of ownership or prior to divestiture and the impact of foreign currency translation.
•Adjusted gross profit is calculated as gross profit plus fair value inventory step-up charges.
•Adjusted gross margin is calculated as adjusted gross profit divided by net sales.
•Adjusted operating income is calculated as operating income plus fair value inventory step-up charges plus restructuring expenses and asset impairments plus a charge related to recording a contingent reserve for a Corporate transaction indemnity.
•Adjusted operating margin is calculated as adjusted operating income divided by net sales.
•Adjusted net income is calculated as net income plus fair value inventory step-up charges plus restructuring expenses and asset impairments plus a charge related to recording a contingent reserve for a Corporate transaction indemnity plus the loss on early debt redemption plus the noncash loss related to the termination of the U.S. pension plan, net of the statutory tax expense or benefit.
•Adjusted EPS is calculated as adjusted net income divided by the diluted weighted average shares outstanding.
•EBITDA is calculated as net income plus interest expense plus provision for income taxes plus depreciation and amortization. We reconcile EBITDA to net income on a consolidated basis as we do not allocate consolidated interest expense or consolidated provision for income taxes to our segments.
•EBITDA interest coverage is calculated as EBITDA divided by consolidated interest expense.
•Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as EBITDA plus fair value inventory step-up charges plus restructuring expenses and asset impairments plus a charge related to recording a contingent reserve for a Corporate transaction indemnity plus the loss on early debt redemption plus the noncash loss related to the termination of the U.S. pension plan.
•Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated as adjusted EBITDA divided by net sales.


•Adjusted EBITDA interest coverage is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA divided by consolidated interest expense.
•Free cash flow is calculated as cash flow from operating activities less capital expenditures.
