Business Combination, Asset Acquisition, Transaction between Entities under Common Control, and Joint Venture Formation [Abstract]

Acquisitions and Divestitures

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 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets from their respective dates of acquisition. The results of operations of businesses acquired have been included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income since their respective dates of acquisition. Supplemental pro forma information has not been provided as the acquisitions did not have a material impact on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements individually or in the aggregate.

The Company makes a preliminary allocation of the purchase price for each 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, primarily related to the valuations of 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 through the completion of the measurement period, which is not to exceed one year from the date of acquisition. Only items that existed as of the acquisition date are considered for subsequent adjustment to the purchase price allocation. Goodwill recognized reflects the strategic fit, revenue and earnings growth potential of the acquired business and its synergies with existing IDEX businesses.

Divestitures

The Company periodically reviews its businesses relative to its core business. As such, from time to time, the Company may sell various businesses or assets for a variety of reasons. Any resulting gain or loss recognized due to divestitures is recorded within Gain on sale of business in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

On June 3, 2024, the Company completed the sale of Alfa Valvole, Srl (“Alfa Valvole”) for proceeds of $45.5 million, net of cash remitted, resulting in an initial gain on the sale of $4.6 million, net of a release of cumulative foreign currency translation losses of $5.5 million. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, the gain on the sale of Alfa Valvole was finalized, resulting in a downward adjustment to the gain on sale of $0.6 million for a final gain on sale of $4.0 million and final net proceeds received of $45.1 million. There was no income tax impact associated with this transaction in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income due to the participation exemption of its consolidated group. The results of Alfa Valvole were reported in the Valves reporting unit within the Fluid & Metering Technologies segment through the date of disposition.
