IDEX REPORTS RECORD THIRD QUARTER RESULTS;
Q3 SALES UP 8 PERCENT OVERALL AND 9 PERCENT ORGANICALLY;
Q3 REPORTED EPS WAS $1.37 WITH ADJUSTED EPS OF $1.41

LAKE FOREST, IL, OCTOBER 23 - IDEX Corporation (NYSE: IEX) today announced its financial results for the three month period ended September 30, 2018.

Third Quarter 2018 Highlights
Orders were up 7 percent overall and 8 percent organically
Sales were up 8 percent overall and 9 percent organically
Reported operating margin was 23.3 percent with adjusted operating margin of 24.0 percent, up 200 bps
Reported EPS was $1.37 with adjusted EPS of $1.41, up 31 percent

Third Quarter 2018

Orders of $615.1 million were up 7 percent compared with the prior year period (+8 percent organic and -1 percent foreign currency translation).

Sales of $622.9 million were up 8 percent compared with the prior year period (+9 percent organic and -1 percent foreign currency translation).
  
Gross margin of 45.0 percent was up 10 basis points compared with the prior year period primarily due to productivity initiatives and volume leverage, partially offset by higher engineering costs.

Operating income of $145.1 million resulted in an operating margin of 23.3 percent. Excluding $4.6 million of restructuring expenses, adjusted operating income was $149.8 million with an adjusted operating margin of 24.0 percent, up 200 basis points compared with the prior year period primarily due to lower amortization and consulting expenses. Adjusted operating income drove adjusted EBITDA of $167.4 million which was 27 percent of sales and covered interest expense by 15 times.

Provision for income taxes of $26.9 million in the third quarter of 2018 resulted in an effective tax rate (ETR) of 20.2 percent, which was lower than the prior year period ETR of 26.4 percent primarily due to the enactment of U.S. tax reform in 2017 as well as a higher excess tax benefit from stock option exercises in the third quarter of 2018.

Net income was $106.4 million which resulted in EPS of $1.37. Excluding restructuring expenses, adjusted EPS of $1.41 increased 33 cents, or 31 percent, from prior year period EPS.

Cash from operations of $133.3 million led to free cash flow of $114.4 million, which was down 1 percent from the prior year period and 104 percent of adjusted net income. The decrease in free cash flow was primarily due to a discretionary defined benefit pension contribution of $10.3 million along with higher capital expenditures in the third quarter of 2018.






The Company repurchased 210 thousand shares of common stock for $31.2 million in the third quarter.
“Continued strength across most end markets helped produce another quarter of excellent operating results for IDEX. Overall demand remained solid which helped deliver strong organic order and sales growth of 8 percent and 9 percent, respectively, our second consecutive quarter posting these organic growth rates. FMT and FSDP both achieved double-digit organic revenue growth rates, while HST realized mid-single digit organic revenue growth. Adjusted operating margin increased 200 basis points with robust margin expansion across all three segments. Third quarter adjusted EPS of $1.41 was a record and approximately 10 cents above the midpoint of our previous guidance, 6 cents of which was operational over-performance while 4 cents was due to a lower effective tax rate compared with our prior guidance.

 
 
We remain committed to fund our most encouraging organic opportunities across the Company, which was evidenced by record capital expenditures in the third quarter. This focus on organic growth has now led to nine consecutive quarters of organic order expansion and seven consecutive quarters of organic sales growth. M&A continues to be a top priority for the Company and the acquisition funnel is healthy. With gross debt-to-EBITDA of 1.3 times, our balance sheet stands ready and is able to support our disciplined capital deployment strategy. In the quarter, we distributed $33 million in dividends to shareholders and repurchased 210 thousand shares of common stock for approximately $31 million.

 
 
Based on our strong third quarter operating results, we are raising our full year organic revenue growth expectations to approximately 8 percent, with approximately 5 to 6 percent expected in the fourth quarter. We are also increasing full year EPS guidance to $5.35 to $5.37, with fourth quarter EPS of $1.25 to $1.27. Our EPS guidance assumes a higher than expected fourth quarter tax rate of 26 percent due to potential changes in certain assumptions associated with the 2017 tax reform.”

Non-U.S. GAAP Measures of Financial Performance
The Company supplements certain U.S. GAAP financial performance metrics with non-U.S. GAAP financial performance metrics in order to provide investors with better insight and increased transparency while also allowing for a more comprehensive understanding of the financial information used by management in its decision making. Reconciliations of non-U.S. GAAP financial performance metrics to their most comparable U.S. 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 U.S. GAAP. There were no adjustments to U.S. 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 divestiture and the impact of foreign currency translation.
Adjusted operating income is calculated as operating income plus restructuring expenses.
Adjusted operating margin is calculated as adjusted operating income divided by net sales.
Adjusted net income is calculated as net income plus restructuring expenses, net of the statutory tax expense or benefit.
EBITDA is calculated as net income plus interest expense plus provision for income taxes plus depreciation and amortization. We reconciled 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.
Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as EBITDA plus restructuring expenses.
Free cash flow is calculated as cash flow from operating activities less capital expenditures.
