IDEX REPORTS FIRST QUARTER RESULTS
First Quarter 2023 Highlights
(All comparisons against the first quarter of 2022 unless otherwise noted)
•Record sales of $845 million, up 13% overall and 6% organically
•Reported EPS of $1.84, up 1% and adjusted EPS of $2.09, up 7%
•Strong operating cash flow of $148 million, up 86%; free cash flow of $121 million, up 91%
•Reached agreement in April 2023 to purchase Iridian Spectral Technologies
NORTHBROOK, IL, April 26, 2023 - IDEX Corporation (NYSE: IEX) today announced its financial results for the three month period ended March 31, 2023.
“IDEX delivered strong results in the first quarter,” said Eric D. Ashleman, IDEX Corporation Chief Executive Officer and President. “We achieved record sales with positive organic growth across all three of our segments, earnings per share above the high end of our guidance, and strong free cash flow. Strength in our Fluid & Metering Technologies and our Fire & Safety / Diversified Products businesses provided near-term mitigation against the impacts of the anticipated inventory correction experienced within our Health & Science Technologies businesses.”
“As we progressed through the quarter, customers across our Health & Science Technologies segment indicated a larger, more prolonged inventory correction than previously communicated. End market demand is still positive, but we believe our customers have sufficient inventory of our critical components to support that demand. With the revised 2023 revenue growth outlook for Health & Science Technologies now negative, we have proactively executed targeted cost reductions to offset a portion of this pressure. Based on our current outlook, we are lowering our full year 2023 adjusted EPS guidance to $8.25 to $8.55 per share.”
“The markets served by our Health & Science Technologies businesses have strong fundamental secular growth trends. We remain well-positioned, solving difficult problems with customers on the cutting edge of new technologies, and our organic and inorganic pipeline supports our aspirations to deliver outstanding business performance.” Ashleman continued, “We continue to execute on our strong M&A strategy and are excited to announce our intent to acquire Iridian Spectral Technologies for 150 million Canadian dollars. This highly strategic asset brings capabilities that expand our optical filters portfolio serving the space, life science and telecommunications markets. We expect this transaction to close in the second quarter, subject to customary closing conditions.”
2023 Outlook
Full year 2023 organic sales growth is projected to be 0 to 3 percent over the prior year period, with GAAP EPS of $7.30 to $7.60 (adjusted EPS of $8.25 to $8.55).
Second quarter 2023 organic sales growth is projected to be approximately 3 percent, with GAAP EPS of $1.86 to $1.89 (adjusted EPS of $2.10 to $2.13).

Orders
First quarter 2023 orders of $825.5 million reflected a 4 percent decrease compared with the prior year period (-10 percent organic, +8 percent acquisitions/divestitures and -2 percent foreign currency translation).
Net Sales
First quarter 2023 sales of $845.4 million reflected a 13 percent increase compared with the prior year period (+6 percent organic, +9 percent acquisitions/divestitures and -2 percent foreign currency translation).
Gross Margin
First quarter 2023 gross margin of 45.2 percent decreased 40 basis points compared with the prior year period primarily due to unfavorable mix largely centered in HST, the dilutive impact of acquisitions and employee-related inflation, partially offset by favorable productivity and price/cost.
Net Income and Earnings per Share Attributable to IDEX
First quarter 2023 net income attributable to IDEX of $139.8 million was flat compared with the prior year period and resulted in EPS attributable to IDEX of $1.84 per share, an increase of 1 cent per share, or 1 percent, from the prior year period. The first quarter 2023 effective tax rate of 22.2 percent was relatively consistent compared with the first quarter 2022 effective tax rate of 22.4 percent. Adjusted EPS attributable to IDEX, which reflects the impact of non-GAAP adjustments, n et of related taxes, was $2.09 per share, an increase of 13 cents per share, or 7 percent, from the prior year period.
Net Income Margin and Adjusted EBITDA Margin
First quarter 2023 net income margin of 16.5 percent decreased 210 basis points compared with the prior year period. The decrease was driven by higher amortization on new acquisitions, increases in employee-related costs, which includes an additional $5.8 million of accelerated stock compensation costs for retiree eligible participants as compared with the prior year period, higher discretionary spending and unfavorable mix, partially offset by strong productivity and price/cost as well as higher volume leverage. First quarter 2023 Adjusted EBITDA margin of 27.2 percent, which reflects the impact of non-GAAP adjustments, decreased 140 basis points compared with the prior year period.

Cash Flow
First quarter 2023 cash from operations of $147.9 million was up 86% primarily due to lower investments in working capital in 2023 as compared with 2022. First quarter 2023 free cash flow included higher capital expenditures and was $121.3 million, up 91% compared with the prior year period and constituted 76 percent of adjusted net income attributable to IDEX.

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, as identified in the reconciliations below. 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. Due to rounding, numbers presented throughout this and other documents may not add up or recalculate precisely. 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 net income attributable to IDEX is calculated as Net income attributable to IDEX plus restructuring expenses and asset impairments less gains on sales of assets plus acquisition-related intangible asset amortization, all net of the statutory tax expense or benefit.
•Adjusted diluted EPS attributable to IDEX is calculated as adjusted net income attributable to IDEX divided by the diluted weighted average shares outstanding.
•Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or consolidated EBITDA, plus restructuring expenses and asset impairments less gains on sales of assets.
•Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated as Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA divided by Net sales.
•Free cash flow is calculated as cash flows from operating activities less capital expenditures.
