first quarter. First quarter diluted EPS of $0.57 was up 24&nbsp;percent and operating margin of 18.2
percent was 140 basis points higher than the prior year. Excluding deal related costs in Q1 of
this year, EPS was up 28&nbsp;percent versus first quarter of 2010.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">In addition, we added two highly strategic Health &#038; Science businesses in the first quarter,
Advanced Thin Films and Microfluidics. We will continue to deploy capital in the short term to
build out our Health &#038; Science presence.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Our broad-based exposure in attractive end markets coupled with improved global reach continues to
benefit us across the Fluid &#038; Metering and the Health &#038; Science segments. Approximately half of
our revenue now comes from outside the US and the growth focused investments made through the
downturn have quickly paid off.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Our operating model and ongoing productivity initiatives continue to drive improving margin but,
more importantly now, it is enabling us to flexibly respond to a dynamic, global market and to an
inflationary environment.

$2.30 to $2.40, up 16-21&nbsp;percent versus 2010. Our projected second quarter 2011 EPS is in the
range of 58 to 60 cents on a fully diluted basis.&#148;

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><U><B>A Note on EBITDA and Free Cash Flow</B></U>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">EBITDA means earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, while free cash
flow means cash flow from operating activities less capital expenditures plus the excess tax
benefit from stock-based compensation. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures as
internal operating metrics and for enterprise valuation purposes. Management believes these
measures are useful as analytical indicators of leverage capacity and debt servicing ability, and
uses them to measure financial performance as well as for planning purposes. However, they should
not be considered as alternatives to net income, cash flow from operating activities or any other
items calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP, or as an indicator of operating performance. The
definitions of EBITDA and free cash flow used here may differ from those used by other companies.

following: economic and political consequences resulting from terrorist attacks and wars; levels of
industrial activity and economic conditions in the U.S. and other countries around the world;
pricing pressures and other competitive factors, and levels of capital spending in certain

particularly in light of the low levels of order backlogs it typically maintains; its ability to
make acquisitions and to integrate and operate acquired businesses on a profitable basis; the
relationship of the U.S. dollar to other currencies and its impact on pricing and cost
competitiveness; political and economic conditions in foreign countries in which the company
operates; interest rates; capacity utilization and the effect this has on costs; labor markets;
market conditions and material costs; and developments with respect to contingencies, such as
litigation and environmental matters. The forward-looking statements included here are only made as
