Peer Group Issuers, Footnote [Text Block] The cumulative Total Shareholder Return depicts a hypothetical $100 investment in our common stock on December 31, 2017, and shows the value of that investment over time (assuming the reinvestment of dividends) for each calendar year. A hypothetical $100 investment in the peer group using the same methodology is shown for comparison. The peer group referenced in the table below is the S&P 500 Industrials.

Measure Name Adjusted Earnings Per Share          
Non-GAAP Measure Description [Text Block]
The company-selected measure we use to link CAP to company performance during the most recently completed fiscal year is adjusted earnings per share (“Adjusted EPS”). Adjusted EPS is net income, adjusted for tax-effected acquisition-related intangible amortization, divided by the total number of fully diluted shares of our common stock outstanding. Adjusted EPS is an important performance measure used to determine annual short-term incentive award amounts. Additionally, changes in Adjusted EPS are closely correlated to changes in the year-end fair market value of AMETEK’s common stock, which significantly influences CAP. Finally, Adjusted EPS is a measure of our executive officers’ success at increasing stockholder returns.
The ratio of our PEO’s CAP to the average CAP to our non-PEO NEOs has increased or decreased, as the case may be, in correlation to the year-over-year increase or decrease to our Adjusted EPS, Relative Total Shareholder Return and Return on Tangible Capital. As our PEO receives a greater percentage of equity-based compensation than the non-PEO NEOs, higher Cumulative TSR has a greater impact on the calculation of the amount of compensation actually paid (“CAP”) to our PEO than it does on the calculation of the amount of CAP paid to the non-PEO NEOs.
Net income is not a performance metric we use when setting executive compensation but is included in the PVP table above as required. The tables below show the relationship between Adjusted EPS and CAP, and Net Income and CAP. Because Net Income is a primary component of Adjusted EPS, the relationships are similar.
