1.    Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of IDEX Corporation (“IDEX,” “we,” “our,” or the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) applicable to interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The statements are unaudited but include all adjustments, consisting only of recurring items, except as noted, that the Company considers necessary for a fair presentation of the information set forth herein. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year.

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations set forth in this report should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases, which set out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both parties to a contract (i.e. lessees and lessors). The standard introduced a new lessee model that requires most leases to be recorded on the balance sheet and eliminates the required use of bright line tests from U.S. GAAP for determining lease classification. In July 2018, the FASB issued the following standards which clarified ASU 2016-02 and had the same effective date as the original standard: ASU 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases and ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements. ASU 2018-11 included an option to use the effective date of ASU 2016-02 as the date of initial application of transition as well as an option not to restate comparative periods in transition. In March 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-01, Leases (Topic 842): Codification Improvements, which also clarifies ASU 2016-02 and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and interim periods within those fiscal years.

The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2019 using the optional transition method provided by the FASB in ASU 2018-11. As we did not restate comparative periods, the adoption had no impact on our previously reported results. We elected to use both the practical expedient that allowed us not to reassess: (1) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, (2) lease classification for any expired or existing leases and (3) initial direct costs for any expired or existing leases as well as the practical expedient that allows us to treat the lease and non-lease components of a lease as a single lease component for all asset classes. We also elected to account for short-term leases in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 842-20-25-2. The adoption of this standard had a material impact on our condensed consolidated balance sheet due to the recognition of right of use assets and lease liabilities. Upon adoption, we recognized right of use assets and lease liabilities of approximately $68 million that reflected the present value of future lease payments. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated results of operations or cash flows. See Note 13 for further information.

2.    Acquisitions and Divestitures

All of the Company’s acquisitions of businesses have been accounted for under ASC 805, Business Combinations. Accordingly, the accounts of the acquired companies, after adjustments to reflect the fair values assigned to assets and liabilities, have been included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements from their respective dates of acquisition. The results of operations of the acquired companies have been included in the Company’s condensed consolidated results since the date of each acquisition.

The Company incurred acquisition-related transaction costs of $0.4 million and $0.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $0.7 million and $1.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. These costs were recorded in Selling, general and administrative expenses and were related to completed transactions, pending transactions and potential transactions, including transactions that ultimately were not completed.

2018 Acquisition

On July 23, 2018, the Company acquired Finger Lakes Instrumentation (“FLI”), a technology leader in the design, development and production of low-noise cooled CCD and high speed, high-sensitivity Scientific CMOS cameras for the astronomy and life science markets. Headquartered in Lima, NY, FLI operates in our Health & Sciences Technologies segment. FLI was acquired for an aggregate purchase price of $23.6 million, consisting of $20.2 million in cash and contingent consideration valued at $3.4 million as of the opening balance sheet date. The contingent consideration is based on the achievement of financial objectives during the 24-month period following the close of the transaction. The entire purchase price was funded with cash on hand. Goodwill and intangible assets recognized as part of this transaction were $12.6 million and $7.9 million, respectively. Acquired intangible assets consist of trade names, customer relationships and unpatented technology. The goodwill recorded for the acquisition reflects the strategic fit, revenue and earnings growth potential of this business. The goodwill is deductible for tax purposes.

The Company finalized its allocation of the purchase price for the FLI 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.

3.    Business Segments

IDEX has three reportable business segments: Fluid & Metering Technologies (“FMT”), Health & Science Technologies (“HST”) and Fire & Safety/Diversified Products (“FSDP”).

The Fluid & Metering Technologies segment designs, produces and distributes positive displacement pumps, flow meters, injectors and other fluid-handling pump modules and systems and provides flow monitoring and other services for the food, chemical, general industrial, water and wastewater, agriculture and energy industries.

The Company evaluates performance based on several factors, of which sales, operating income and operating margin are the primary financial measures. Intersegment sales are accounted for at fair value as if the sales were to third parties.

Revenue is recognized when control of the promised products or services is transferred to our customers in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for transferring those products or providing those services. We account for a contract when it has approval and commitment from both parties, the rights of the parties are identified, payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance and collectability of the consideration is probable. We determine the appropriate revenue recognition for our contracts with customers by analyzing the type, terms and conditions of each contract or arrangement with a customer.

Disaggregation of Revenue

We have a comprehensive offering of products, including technologies, built to customers’ specifications that are sold in niche markets throughout the world. We disaggregate our revenue from contracts with customers by reporting unit and geographical region for each of our segments as we believe it best depicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of our revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. Revenue was attributed to geographic areas based on the location of the customer. The following tables present our revenue disaggregated by reporting unit and geographical region.

Revenue by reporting unit for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 was as follows:

Contract Balances

The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in customer receivables, advance payments and billings in excess of revenue recognized. Customer receivables include amounts billed and currently due from customers as well as unbilled amounts (contract assets) and are included in Receivables on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Amounts are billed in accordance with contractual terms or as work progresses in accordance with contractual terms. Unbilled amounts arise when the timing of billing differs from the timing of revenue recognized, such as when contract provisions require specific milestones to be met before a customer can be billed. Unbilled amounts primarily relate to performance obligations satisfied over time when the cost-to-cost method is utilized and the revenue recognized exceeds the amount billed to the customer as there is not yet a right to payment in accordance with contractual terms. Unbilled amounts are recorded as a contract asset when the revenue associated with the contract is recognized prior to billing and derecognized when billed in accordance with the terms of the contract. Customer receivables are recorded at face amounts less an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses as a result of customers’ inability to make required payments. Management evaluates the aging of the customer receivable balances, the financial condition of its customers, historical trends and the time outstanding of specific balances to estimate the amount of customer receivables that may not be collected in the future and records the appropriate provision.

The composition of Customer receivables was as follows:

	June 30,   2019		December 31,   2018
Billed receivables	$	314,714	$	299,227
Unbilled receivables	12,034		14,492
Total customer receivables	$	326,748	$	313,719

Advance payments and billings in excess of revenue recognized are included in Deferred revenue which is classified as current or noncurrent based on the timing of when we expect to recognize the revenue. The current portion is included in Accrued expenses and the noncurrent portion is included in Other noncurrent liabilities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Advance payments and billings in excess of revenue recognized represent contract liabilities and are recorded when customers remit contractual cash payments in advance of us satisfying performance obligations under contractual arrangements, including those with performance obligations satisfied over time. Billings in excess of revenue recognized primarily relate to performance obligations satisfied over time when the cost-to-cost method is utilized and revenue cannot yet be recognized as the Company has not completed the corresponding performance obligation. We generally receive advance payments from customers related to maintenance services which we recognize ratably over the service term. Contract liabilities are derecognized when revenue is recognized and the performance obligation is satisfied.

The composition of Deferred revenue was as follows:

	June 30,   2019		December 31,   2018
Deferred revenue - current	$	11,861	$	8,055
Deferred revenue - noncurrent	2,512		3,027
Total deferred revenue	$	14,373	$	11,082

Performance Obligations

A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct product or service to the customer. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. For our contracts that require complex design, manufacturing and installation activities that are not separately identifiable from other promises in the contract and, therefore, not distinct, the entire contract is accounted for as a single performance obligation. For our contracts that include distinct products or services that are substantially the same and have the same pattern of transfer to the customer over time, they are recognized as a series of distinct products or services. Certain of our contracts have multiple performance obligations for which we allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation using an estimate of the standalone selling price of each distinct product or service in the contract. For product sales, each product sold to a customer

12

IDEX CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Amounts in thousands except share data and where otherwise indicated)

(unaudited)

generally represents a distinct performance obligation. In such cases, the observable standalone sales are used to determine the standalone selling price. In certain cases, we may be required to estimate standalone selling price using the expected cost plus margin approach, under which we forecast our expected costs of satisfying a performance obligation and then add an appropriate margin for that distinct product or service.

Our performance obligations are satisfied at a point in time or over time as work progresses. Performance obligations are supported by contracts with customers that provide a framework for the nature of the distinct products or services or bundle of products and services. We define service revenue as revenue from activities that are not associated with the design, development or manufacture of a product or the delivery of a software license.

Revenue from products and services transferred to customers at a point in time approximated 95% of total revenues in the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018. Revenue recognized at a point in time relates to the majority of our product sales. Revenue on these contracts is recognized when obligations under the terms of the contract with our customer are satisfied. Generally, this occurs with the transfer of control of the asset, which is in line with shipping terms.

Revenue from products and services transferred to customers over time approximated 5% of total revenues in the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018. Revenue earned by certain business units within the Water, Energy, Material Processing Technologies (“MPT”) and Dispensing reporting units is recognized over time because control transfers continuously to our customers. When accounting for over-time contracts, we use an input measure to determine the extent of progress towards completion of the performance obligation. For certain business units within the Water, Energy and MPT reporting units, revenue is recognized over time as work is performed based on the relationship between actual costs incurred to date for each contract and the total estimated costs for such contract at completion of the performance obligation (i.e. the cost-to-cost method). We believe this measure of progress best depicts the transfer of control to the customer which occurs as we incur costs on our contracts. Incurred cost represents work performed, which corresponds with the transfer of control to the customer. Contract costs include labor, material and overhead. Contract estimates are based on various assumptions to project the outcome of future events. These assumptions include labor productivity and availability; the complexity of the work to be performed; the cost and availability of materials; the performance of subcontractors; and the availability and timing of funding from the customer. Revenues, including estimated fees or profits, are recorded proportionally as costs are incurred. For certain business units within the Energy and Dispensing reporting units, revenue is recognized ratably over the contract term.

As a significant change in one or more of these estimates could affect the profitability of our contracts, we review and update our estimates regularly. Due to uncertainties inherent in the estimation process, it is reasonably possible that completion costs, including those arising from contract penalty provisions and final contract settlements, will be revised. Such revisions to costs and income are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined as a cumulative catch-up adjustment. The impact of the adjustment on profit recorded to date on a contract is recognized in the period the adjustment is identified. Revenue and profit in future periods of contract performance are recognized using the adjusted estimate. If at any time the estimate of contract profitability indicates an anticipated loss on the contract, we recognize provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts in the period in which such losses are determined.

The Company records allowances for discounts and product returns at the time of sale as a reduction of revenue as such allowances can be reliably estimated based on historical experience and known trends. The Company also offers product warranties (primarily assurance-type) and accrues its estimated exposure for warranty claims at the time of sale based upon the length of the warranty period, warranty costs incurred and any other related information known to the Company.

5.    Earnings Per Common Share

Earnings per common share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock (basic) plus common stock equivalents outstanding (diluted) during the period. Common stock equivalents consist of stock options, which have been included in the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding using the treasury stock method, restricted stock and performance share units.

ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, concludes that all outstanding unvested share-based payment awards that contain rights to nonforfeitable dividends participate in undistributed earnings with common shareholders. If awards are considered participating securities, the Company is required to apply the two-class method of computing basic and diluted earnings per share. The Company

(Amounts in thousands except share data and where otherwise indicated)

(unaudited)

has determined that its outstanding shares of restricted stock are participating securities. Accordingly, EPS was computed using the two-class method prescribed by ASC 260.

Basic weighted average shares outstanding reconciles to diluted weighted average shares outstanding as follows:

	Three Months Ended   June 30,		Six Months Ended   June 30,
	2019	2018	2019	2018
Basic weighted average common shares outstanding	75,460	76,539	75,450	76,479
Dilutive effect of stock options, restricted stock and performance share units	927	1,165	884	1,243
Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding	76,387	77,704	76,334	77,722

Options to purchase approximately 0.6 million and 0.3 million shares of common stock for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and 0.6 million and 0.3 million shares of common stock for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because the effect of their inclusion would have been antidilutive.

6.    Inventories

The components of inventories as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 were:

	June 30, 2019		December 31, 2018
Raw materials and component parts	$	186,117	$	178,805
Work in process	28,480		37,495
Finished goods	86,409		63,695
Total inventories	$	301,006	$	279,995

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost, which includes material, labor and factory overhead, is determined on a FIFO basis.

7.    Goodwill and Intangible Assets

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the six months ended June 30, 2019, by reportable business segment, were as follows:

	FMT			HST		FSDP			IDEX
Balance at December 31, 2018	$	581,041		$	745,357	$	371,557		$	1,697,955
Foreign currency translation	(610		)	637		(833		)	(806		)
Acquisition adjustments	—			183		—			183
Balance at June 30, 2019	$	580,431		$	746,177	$	370,724		$	1,697,332

ASC 350, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, requires that goodwill be tested for impairment at the reporting unit level on an annual basis and between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying value. In the first six months of 2019, there were no events or circumstances that would have required an interim impairment test. Annually, on October 31, goodwill and other acquired intangible assets with indefinite lives are tested for impairment. Based on the results of our annual impairment test at October 31, 2018, all reporting units had fair values in excess of their carrying values.

The Banjo trade name and the Akron Brass trade name are indefinite-lived intangible assets which are tested for impairment on an annual basis in accordance with ASC 350 or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired. In the first six months of 2019, there were no events or circumstances that would have required an interim impairment test. The Company uses the relief-from-royalty method, a form of the income approach, to determine the fair value of these trade names. The relief-from-royalty method is dependent on a number of significant management assumptions, including estimates of revenues, royalty rates and discount rates.

Amortization of intangible assets was $9.0 million and $18.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively. Amortization of intangible assets was $9.8 million and $20.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively. Based on the intangible asset balances as of June 30, 2019, amortization expense is expected to approximate $18.0 million for the remaining six months of 2019, $35.3 million in 2020, $34.1 million in 2021, $32.3 million in 2022 and $29.2 million in 2023.

Total long-term borrowings	$	848,555	$	848,335

On June 13, 2016, the Company completed a private placement of a $100 million aggregate principal amount of 3.20% Senior Notes due June 13, 2023 and a $100 million aggregate principal amount of 3.37% Senior Notes due June 13, 2025 (collectively, the “Notes”) pursuant to a Note Purchase Agreement dated June 13, 2016 (the “Purchase Agreement”). Each series of Notes bears interest at the stated amount per annum, which is payable semi-annually in arrears on each June 13^th and December 13^th. The Notes are unsecured obligations of the Company and rank pari passu in right of payment with all of the Company’s other unsecured, unsubordinated debt. The Company may at any time prepay all, or any portion of the Notes, provided that such portion is greater than 5% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding. In the event of a prepayment, the Company will pay an amount equal to par plus accrued interest plus a make-whole amount. In addition, the Company may repurchase the Notes by making an offer to all holders of the Notes, subject to certain conditions.

The Purchase Agreement contains certain covenants that restrict the Company’s ability to, among other things, transfer or sell assets, incur indebtedness, create liens, transact with affiliates and engage in certain mergers or consolidations or other change of control transactions. In addition, the Company must comply with a leverage ratio and interest coverage ratio, as further described below, and the Purchase Agreement also limits the outstanding principal amount of priority debt that may be incurred by the Company to 15% of consolidated assets. The Purchase Agreement provides for customary events of default. In the case of an event of default arising from specified events of bankruptcy or insolvency, all of the outstanding Notes will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. In the case of a payment event of default, any holder of the Notes affected thereby may declare all of the Notes held by it due and payable immediately. In the case of any other event of default, a majority of the holders of the Notes may declare all of the Notes to be due and payable immediately.

On May 31, 2019, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) along with certain of its subsidiaries, as borrowers (the “Borrowers”), Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, swing line lender and an issuer of letters of credit, with other agents party thereto. The Credit Agreement replaces the Company’s existing five-year, $700 million credit agreement, dated as of June 23, 2015, which was due to expire in June 2020.

Terms and fees of the 2019 Credit Agreement are essentially the same as the 2015 credit agreement except for certain fees and interest rate pricing that are more favorable to the Company.

The Credit Agreement consists of a revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”) in an aggregate principal amount of $800 million with a final maturity date of May 30, 2024. The maturity date may be extended under certain conditions for an additional one-year term. Up to $75 million of the Revolving Facility under the Credit Agreement is available for the issuance of letters of credit. Additionally, up to $50 million of the Revolving Facility is available to the Company for swing line loans, available on a same-day basis.

Proceeds of the Revolving Facility are available for use by the Borrowers for working capital and other general corporate purposes, including refinancing existing debt of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Company may request increases in the lending commitments under the Credit Agreement, but the aggregate lending commitments pursuant to such increases may not exceed $400 million. The Company has the right, subject to certain conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement, to designate certain foreign subsidiaries of the Company as borrowers under the Credit Agreement. In connection with any such designation, the Company is required to guarantee the obligations of any such subsidiaries under the Credit Agreement.

Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest, at either an alternate base rate or an adjusted LIBOR rate plus, in each case, an applicable margin. Such applicable margin is based on the better of the Company’s senior, unsecured, long-term debt rating or the Company’s applicable leverage ratio. Interest is payable (a) in the case of base rate loans, quarterly, and (b) in the case of LIBOR rate loans, on the last day of the applicable interest period selected, or every three months from the effective date of such interest period for interest periods exceeding three months.

Voluntary prepayments of any loans and voluntary reductions of the unutilized portion of the commitments under the Credit Agreement are permissible without penalty, subject to break funding payments and minimum notice and minimum reduction amount requirements.

The Credit Agreement contains affirmative and negative covenants usual and customary for such senior unsecured credit agreements, including an interest coverage ratio test and a leverage ratio test, in each case tested quarterly and, in the case of the leverage ratio, with an option to increase the ratio for 12 months in connection with certain acquisitions. The negative covenants include restrictions on the Company on granting liens, entering into transactions resulting in fundamental changes (such as mergers or sales of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company), making certain subsidiary dividends or distributions, engaging in materially different lines of businesses and allowing subsidiaries to incur certain additional debt.

The Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default (subject to grace periods, as appropriate).

At June 30, 2019, there was no balance outstanding under the Revolving Facility and $9.1 million of outstanding letters of credit, resulting in a net available borrowing capacity under the Revolving Facility at June 30, 2019 of approximately $790.9 million.

There are two key financial covenants that the Company is required to maintain in connection with the Revolving Facility and the Notes, a minimum interest coverage ratio of 3.00 to 1 and a maximum leverage ratio of 3.50 to 1, which is the ratio of the Company’s consolidated total debt to its consolidated EBITDA. In the case of the leverage ratio, there is an option to increase the ratio to 4.00 for 12 months in connection with certain acquisitions. At June 30, 2019, the Company was in compliance with both of these financial covenants. There are no financial covenants relating to the 4.5% Senior Notes or 4.2% Senior Notes; however, both are subject to cross-default provisions.

11.    Derivative Instruments

The Company enters into cash flow hedges from time to time to reduce the exposure to variability in certain expected future cash flows. The types of cash flow hedges the Company enters into include foreign currency exchange contracts designed to minimize the earnings impact on certain intercompany loans as well as interest rate exchange agreements designed to reduce the impact of interest rate changes on future interest expense that effectively convert a portion of floating-rate debt to fixed-rate debt.

The effective portion of gains or losses on interest rate exchange agreements is reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in shareholders’ equity and reclassified into net income in the same period or periods in which the hedged transaction affects net income. The remaining gain or loss in excess of the cumulative change in the present value of future cash flows or the hedged item, if any, is recognized in net income during the period of change. See Note 15 for the amount of loss reclassified into net income for interest rate contracts for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018. As of June 30, 2019, the Company did not have any interest rate contracts outstanding.

In 2010 and 2011, the Company entered into two separate forward starting interest rate exchange agreements in anticipation of the issuance of the 4.2% Senior Notes and the 4.5% Senior Notes. The Company cash settled these two interest rate contracts in 2010 and 2011 for a total of $68.9 million, which is being amortized into interest expense over the 10 year terms of the respective debt instruments. Approximately $6.2 million of the pre-tax amount included in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)

in shareholders’ equity at June 30, 2019 will be recognized in net income over the next 12 months as the underlying hedged transactions are realized.

At March 31, 2018, the Company had outstanding foreign currency exchange contracts with a combined notional value of €180 million that were not designated as hedges for accounting purposes and, as a result, the change in the fair value of these foreign currency exchange contracts and the corresponding foreign currency gain or loss on the revaluation of the intercompany loans were both recorded through earnings within Other (income) expense - net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations each period as incurred.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company recorded a loss of $0.3 million and a gain of $0.9 million, respectively, within Other (income) expense - net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations related to these foreign currency exchange contracts. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company recorded a foreign currency transaction gain of $0.3 million and a foreign currency transaction loss of $0.9 million, respectively, within Other (income) expense - net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations related to these intercompany loans. For the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company received $6.6 million in settlement of the foreign currency exchange contracts.

In April 2018, the Company settled its outstanding foreign currency exchange contracts in conjunction with its repayment of the underlying intercompany loans and did not extend these foreign currency exchange contracts. Along with the repayment of the intercompany loans, the Company was required to make a capital contribution to one of its subsidiaries, which resulted in a $2.2 million stamp duty in Switzerland which was recorded within Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Fair values relating to derivative financial instruments reflect the estimated amounts that the Company would receive or pay to sell or buy the contracts based on quoted market prices of comparable contracts at each balance sheet date.

12.    Fair Value Measurements

ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, defines fair value, provides guidance for measuring fair value and requires certain disclosures. This standard discusses valuation techniques, such as the market approach (comparable market prices), the income approach (present value of future income or cash flow) and the cost approach (cost to replace the service capacity of an asset or replacement cost). The standard utilizes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to the valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The following is a brief description of those three levels:

• Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

• Level 2: Inputs, other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.

• Level 3: Unobservable inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions.

The following table summarizes the basis used to measure the Company’s financial assets (liabilities) at fair value on a recurring basis in the balance sheets at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018:

	Basis of Fair Value Measurements
	Balance at   June 30, 2019		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Available for sale securities	$	9,429	$	9,429	$	—	$	—
Contingent consideration	3,375		—		—		3,375

	Basis of Fair Value Measurements
	Balance at   December 31, 2018		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Available for sale securities	$	7,598	$	7,598	$	—	$	—
Contingent consideration	3,375		—		—		3,375

There were no transfers of assets or liabilities between Level 1 and Level 2 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 or the year ended December 31, 2018.

The Company utilized a Monte Carlo Simulation to determine the fair value of the contingent consideration associated with the acquisition of FLI as of the acquisition date. The $3.4 million represents management’s best estimate of the liability, based on a range of outcomes of FLI’s two-year operating results, from August 1, 2018 to July 31, 2020, and is expected to be paid during the third quarter of 2020. As of June 30, 2019, the $3.4 million of contingent consideration is included in Other noncurrent liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The carrying values of our cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair values because of the short term nature of these instruments. At June 30, 2019, the fair value of the outstanding indebtedness under our 3.2% Senior Notes, 3.37% Senior Notes, 4.5% Senior Notes, 4.2% Senior Notes and other borrowings based on quoted market prices and current market rates for debt with similar credit risk and maturity was approximately $875.8 million compared to the carrying value of $850.3 million. At December 31, 2018, the fair value of the outstanding indebtedness under our 3.2% Senior Notes, 3.37% Senior Notes, 4.5% Senior Notes, 4.2% Senior Notes and other borrowings based on quoted market prices and current market rates for debt with similar credit risk and maturity was approximately $851.5 million compared to the carrying value of $850.4 million. These fair value measurements are classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy since they are determined based upon significant inputs observable in the market, including interest rates on recent financing transactions to entities with a credit rating similar to ours.

13.    Leases

The Company leases certain office facilities, warehouses, manufacturing plants, equipment (which includes both office and plant equipment) and vehicles under operating leases. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet; the Company recognizes lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Certain leases include one or more options to renew. The exercise of lease renewal options is at the Company’s sole discretion. There are currently no renewal periods included in any of the leases’ respective lease terms as they are not reasonably certain of being exercised. The Company does not have any material purchase options.

Certain of our lease agreements have rental payments that are adjusted periodically for inflation or that are based on usage. Our lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

Supplemental balance sheet information related to leases as of June 30, 2019 was as follows:

	Balance Sheet Caption	June 30,   2019
Operating leases:
Building right-of-use assets - net	Other noncurrent assets	$	59,226
Equipment right-of-use assets - net	Other noncurrent assets	6,636

20.    Income Taxes

The Company’s provision for income taxes is based upon estimated annual tax rates for the year applied to federal, state and foreign income. The provision for income taxes increased to $31.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 from $29.6 million during the same period in 2018. The effective tax rate of 21.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2019 was flat compared to the same period in 2018.

The provision for income taxes decreased to $58.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 from $60.8 million during the same period in 2018. The effective tax rate decreased to 20.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to 22.8% during the same period in 2018 due to an increase in foreign tax credits as a result of U.S. Treasury proposed regulations issued related to Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (“GILTI”), discrete income tax expense in first quarter 2018 related to IRS Revenue Procedure 2018-17 and IRS Notice 2018-26 as well as the mix of global pre-tax income among jurisdictions.

The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state and foreign jurisdictions. Due to the potential for resolution of federal, state and foreign examinations and the expiration of various statutes of limitation, it is reasonably possible that the Company’s gross unrecognized tax benefits balance may change within the next twelve months by a range of zero to $0.8 million.

21.    Subsequent Events

On July 18, 2019, the Company acquired Velcora Holding AB (“Velcora”) and its Roplan and Steridose businesses for cash consideration of $87.3 million and $49.9 million of assumed debt. Roplan is a global manufacturer of custom mechanical and shaft seals for a variety of end markets including food and beverage, marine, chemical, wastewater and water treatment. Steridose develops engineered hygienic mixers and valves for the global biopharmaceutical industry. Both companies are headquartered in Sweden, with operations in China, the United Kingdom and the United States. Roplan and Steridose have annual revenues of approximately $40.0 million and will operate in the Health & Science Technologies segment.

Overview and Outlook

IDEX is an applied solutions company specializing in the manufacture of fluid and metering technologies, health and science technologies and fire, safety and other diversified products built to customers’ specifications. IDEX’s products are sold in niche markets across a wide range of industries throughout the world. Accordingly, IDEX’s businesses are affected by levels of industrial activity and economic conditions in the U.S. and in other countries where it does business and by the relationship of the U.S. Dollar to other currencies. Levels of capacity utilization and capital spending in certain industries and overall industrial activity are important factors that influence the demand for IDEX’s products.

The Company has three reportable business segments: Fluid & Metering Technologies, Health & Science Technologies and Fire & Safety/Diversified Products. Within our three reportable segments, the Company maintains 13 platforms, where we focus on organic growth and strategic acquisitions. Each of our 13 platforms is also a reporting unit that we annually test goodwill for impairment.

The Fluid & Metering Technologies segment designs, produces and distributes positive displacement pumps, flow meters, injectors and other fluid-handling pump modules and systems and provides flow monitoring and other services for the food, chemical, general industrial, water and wastewater, agriculture and energy industries. The Fluid & Metering Technologies segment contains the Energy platform (comprised of Corken, Liquid Controls, SAMPI and Toptech), the Valves platform (comprised of Alfa Valvole, Richter and Aegis), the Water platform (comprised of Pulsafeeder, OBL, Knight, ADS, Trebor and iPEK), the Pumps platform (comprised of Viking and Warren Rupp) and the Agriculture platform (comprised of Banjo).

The Health & Science Technologies segment designs, produces and distributes a wide range of precision fluidics, rotary lobe pumps, centrifugal and positive displacement pumps, roll compaction and drying systems used in beverage, food processing, pharmaceutical and cosmetics, pneumatic components and sealing solutions, including very high precision, low-flow rate pumping solutions required in analytical instrumentation, clinical diagnostics and drug discovery, high performance molded and extruded sealing components, biocompatible medical devices and implantables, air compressors used in medical, dental and industrial applications, optical components and coatings for applications in the fields of scientific research, defense, biotechnology, aerospace, telecommunications and electronics manufacturing, laboratory and commercial equipment used in the production of micro and nano scale materials, precision photonic solutions used in life sciences, research and defense markets and precision gear and peristaltic pump technologies that meet exacting original equipment manufacturer specifications. The Health & Science Technologies segment contains the Scientific Fluidics & Optics platform (comprised of Eastern Plastics, Rheodyne, Sapphire Engineering, Upchurch Scientific, ERC, CiDRA Precision Services, thinXXS, CVI Melles Griot, Semrock, Advanced Thin Films and FLI), the Sealing Solutions platform (comprised of Precision Polymer Engineering, FTL Seals Technology, Novotema and SFC Koenig), the Gast platform, the Micropump platform and the Material Processing Technologies platform (comprised of Quadro, Fitzpatrick, Microfluidics and Matcon).

30

The Fire & Safety/Diversified Products segment designs, produces and develops firefighting pumps, valves and controls, rescue tools, lifting bags and other components and systems for the fire and rescue industry, engineered stainless steel banding and clamping devices used in a variety of industrial and commercial applications and precision equipment for dispensing, metering and mixing colorants and paints used in a variety of retail and commercial businesses around the world. The Fire & Safety/Diversified Products segment is comprised of the Fire & Safety platform (comprised of Class 1, Hale, Akron Brass, AWG Fittings, Godiva, Dinglee, Hurst Jaws of Life, Lukas and Vetter), the BAND-IT platform and the Dispensing platform.

Management’s primary measurements of segment performance are sales, operating income and operating margin. In addition, due to the highly acquisitive nature of the Company, the determination of operating income includes amortization of acquired intangible assets and as a result, management reviews depreciation and amortization as a percentage of sales. These measures are monitored by management and significant changes in operating results versus current trends in end markets and variances from forecasts are analyzed with segment management.

This report references organic sales, a non-GAAP measure, that refers to sales from continuing operations calculated according to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) but excludes (1) the impact of foreign currency translation and (2) sales from acquired or divested businesses during the first twelve months of ownership or divestiture. The portion of sales attributable to foreign currency translation is calculated as the difference between (a) the period-to-period change in organic sales and (b) the period-to-period change in organic sales after applying prior period foreign exchange rates to the current year period. Management believes that reporting organic sales provides useful information to investors by helping identify underlying growth trends in our business and facilitating easier comparisons of our revenue performance with prior and future periods and to our peers. The Company excludes the effect of foreign currency translation from organic sales because foreign currency translation is not under management’s control, is subject to volatility and can obscure underlying business trends. The Company excludes the effect of acquisitions and divestitures because they can obscure underlying business trends and make comparisons of long term performance difficult due to the varying nature, size and number of transactions from period to period and between the Company and its peers.

EBITDA means earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Given the acquisitive nature of the Company, which results in a higher level of amortization expense from recently acquired businesses, management uses EBITDA as an internal operating metric to provide another representation of the businesses’ performance across our three segments and for enterprise valuation purposes. Management believes that EBITDA is useful to investors as an indicator of the strength and performance of the Company and a way to evaluate and compare operating performance and value companies within our industry. Management believes that EBITDA margin is useful for the same reason as EBITDA. EBITDA is also used to calculate certain financial covenants, as discussed in Note 10 in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1, “Financial Statements.”

Organic sales have been reconciled to net sales and EBITDA has been reconciled to net income in Item 2 under the heading “Non-GAAP Disclosures.” The reconciliation of segment EBITDA to net income was performed on a consolidated basis due to the fact that we do not allocate consolidated interest expense or the consolidated provision for income taxes to our segments.

Management uses Adjusted operating income, Adjusted net income, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS as metrics by which to measure performance of the Company since they exclude items that are not reflective of ongoing operations, such as restructuring expenses.

The non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by the Company should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The financial results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and the reconciliations from these results should be carefully evaluated.

Some of our key financial results for the three months ended June 30, 2019 when compared to the same period in the prior year are as follows:

• Sales of $642.1 million increased 1%; organic sales (which excludes acquisitions and foreign currency translation) were up 3%.

• Operating income of $155.3 million increased 5%. Adjusted operating income of $157.4 million, adjusted for $2.1 million of restructuring expenses in the second quarter of 2019, increased 5%.

• Net income of $113.2 million increased 6%. Adjusted net income of $114.8 million, adjusted for $1.6 million of restructuring expenses, net of tax benefit, in the second quarter of 2019, increased 6%.

• EBITDA of $174.8 million was 27% of sales and covered interest expense by almost 16 times. Adjusted EBITDA of $177.0 million was 28% of sales and covered interest expense by over 16 times.

31

• Diluted EPS of $1.48 increased 10 cents, or 7%. Adjusted EPS of $1.50 increased 10 cents, or 7%.

Some of our key financial results for the six months ended June 30, 2019 when compared to the same period in the prior year are as follows:

• Sales of $1,264.3 million increased 1%; organic sales (which excludes acquisitions and foreign currency translation) were up 3%.

• Operating income of $303.1 million increased 7%. Adjusted operating income of $305.2 million, adjusted for $2.1 million of restructuring expenses during 2019, increased 6%.

• Net income of $223.5 million increased 8%. Adjusted net income of $225.0 million, adjusted for $1.6 million of restructuring expenses, net of tax benefit, during 2019, increased 8%.

• EBITDA of $341.4 million was 27% of sales and covered interest expense by almost 16 times. Adjusted EBITDA of $343.5 million was 27% of sales and covered interest expense by almost 16 times.

• Diluted EPS of $2.92 increased 27 cents, or 10%. Adjusted EPS of $2.94 increased 25 cents, or 9%.

Given the Company’s current outlook, we are projecting third quarter 2019 EPS in the range of $1.45 to $1.47 with full year 2019 EPS of $5.78 to $5.85. We are also projecting third quarter organic revenue growth of approximately 3% with full year organic revenue growth of 3% to 4%.

Results of Operations

The following is a discussion and analysis of our results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018. Segment operating income and EBITDA exclude unallocated corporate operating expenses of $19.2 million and $21.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $37.8 million and $42.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Consolidated Results for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2019 Compared with the Same Period in 2018

(In thousands)	Three Months Ended   June 30,
	2019			2018
Net sales	$	642,099		$	634,360
Operating income	155,283			147,831
Operating margin	24.2		%	23.3		%

For the three months ended June 30, 2019, Fluid & Metering Technologies contributed 38% of sales, 42% of operating income and 41% of EBITDA; Health & Science Technologies contributed 36% of sales, 33% of operating income and 34% of EBITDA; and Fire & Safety/Diversified Products contributed 26% of sales, 25% of operating income and 25% of EBITDA. These percentages are calculated on the basis of total segment (not total Company) sales, operating income and EBITDA.

Sales in the second quarter of 2019 were $642.1 million, which was a 1% increase compared to the same period in 2018. This increase reflects a 3% increase in organic sales, partially offset by a 2% unfavorable impact from foreign currency translation. Sales to customers outside the U.S. represented approximately 49% of total sales in the second quarter of 2019 compared to 51% during the same period in 2018.

Gross profit of $292.3 million in the second quarter of 2019 increased $5.0 million, or 2%, compared to the same period in 2018, while gross margin of 45.5% in the second quarter of 2019 increased 20 basis points from 45.3% during the same period in 2018. Both gross profit and margin increased compared to the prior year period primarily due to price, volume leverage and productivity initiatives, partially offset by higher engineering investments.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to $134.9 million in the second quarter of 2019 from $137.5 million during the same period in 2018. The decrease is primarily due to lower amortization and variable compensation costs in 2019 as well as the stamp duty charge in the second quarter of 2018. Corporate costs decreased to $19.2 million in the second quarter of 2019 compared to $21.6 million during the same period in 2018, mainly due to the stamp duty charge in 2018. As a percentage of sales, selling, general and administrative expenses were 21.0% for the second quarter of 2019, down 70 basis points compared to 21.7% during the same period in 2018.

32

The Company incurred $2.1 million of restructuring expenses in the second quarter of 2019 compared with $2.0 million during the same period in 2018. The restructuring expenses were part of initiatives that support the implementation of key strategic efforts designed to facilitate long-term, sustainable growth through cost reduction actions primarily consisting of employee reductions and facility rationalization.

Operating income of $155.3 million and operating margin of 24.2% in the second quarter of 2019 were up from the $147.8 million and 23.3%, respectively, recorded during the same period in 2018. The increase in operating margin is primarily due to gross margin expansion along with reduced selling, general and administrative expenses in 2019.

Other (income) expense - net increased to $0.4 million of income in the second quarter of 2019 compared to $0.1 million of income during the same period in 2018, primarily due to gains on pension-related investments and higher interest income in 2019.

Interest expense of $11.0 million in the second quarter of 2019 was essentially flat compared to the same period in 2018.

The Company’s provision for income taxes is based upon estimated annual tax rates for the year applied to federal, state and foreign income. The provision for income taxes increased to $31.4 million in the second quarter of 2019 compared to $29.6 million during the same period in 2018. The effective tax rate was 21.7% for the second quarter of 2019 which was flat compared to the same period in 2018.

Net income in the second quarter of 2019 of $113.2 million increased from $107.1 million during the same period in 2018. Diluted earnings per share in the second quarter of 2019 of $1.48 increased $0.10, or 7%, compared to the same period in 2018.

Fluid & Metering Technologies Segment

(In thousands)	Three Months Ended   June 30,
	2019			2018
Net sales	$	246,189		$	242,800
Operating income	74,146			71,228
Operating margin	30.1		%	29.3		%

Sales of $246.2 million increased $3.4 million, or 1%, in the second quarter of 2019 compared to the same period in 2018. This reflects a 3% increase in organic sales, partially offset by a 2% unfavorable impact from foreign currency translation. In the second quarter of 2019, sales were flat domestically and increased 3% internationally compared to the same period in 2018. Sales to customers outside the U.S. were approximately 43% of total segment sales in both the second quarters of 2019 and 2018.

Sales within our Pumps platform increased in the second quarter of 2019 compared to the same period in 2018 due to strength in LACT (lease automatic custody transfer) projects and strong OEM activity. Sales within our Valves platform increased in the second quarter of 2019 compared to the same period in 2018 as a result of strong demand within chemical end markets domestically and in Asia. Sales within our Water platform were flat compared to the same period in 2018 driven by strong Europe and Asia distribution offset by headwinds in U.S. sales. Sales within our Energy platform were essentially flat compared to the same period in 2018. Sales within our Agriculture platform decreased in the second quarter of 2019 compared to the same period in 2018 due to decreased demand across both the agriculture and industrial OEM markets.

Operating income of $74.1 million and operating margin of 30.1% in the second quarter of 2019 were higher than the $71.2 million and 29.3%, respectively, recorded during the same period in 2018, primarily due to higher volume, price and productivity initiatives, partially offset by higher engineering investments.

Health & Science Technologies Segment

(In thousands)	Three Months Ended   June 30,
	2019			2018
Net sales	$	232,253		$	227,403

33

Sales of $232.3 million increased $4.9 million, or 2%, in the second quarter of 2019 compared to the same period in 2018. This reflects a 3% increase in organic sales and a 1% increase from acquisitions (FLI - July 2018), partially offset by a 2% unfavorable impact from foreign currency translation. In the second quarter of 2019, sales increased 9% domestically and decreased 3% internationally compared to the same period in 2018. Sales to customers outside the U.S. were approximately 54% of total segment sales in the second quarter of 2019 compared to 57% during the same period in 2018.

Sales within our Scientific Fluidics & Optics platform increased in the second quarter of 2019 compared to the same period in 2018 due to new products, market share wins, strong demand in our primary end markets, including analytical instrumentation, IVD and biotechnology as well as the FLI acquisition. Sales within our Gast platform increased in the second quarter of 2019 compared to the same period in 2018 primarily due to strength in new product sales.

This reflects a 3% increase in organic sales, partially offset by a 2% unfavorable impact from foreign currency translation. Sales to customers outside the U.S. represented approximately 50% of total sales in the first six months of 2019 compared to 51% during the same period in 2018.

Gross profit of $576.2 million in the first six months of 2019 increased $12.2 million, or 2%, compared to the same period in 2018, while gross margin of 45.6% in the first six months of 2019 increased 40 basis points from 45.2% during the same period in 2018. Both gross profit and margin increased compared to the prior year period primarily due to price, volume leverage and productivity initiatives, partially offset by higher engineering costs.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to $271.0 million in the first six months of 2019 from $275.9 million during the same period in 2018, primarily due to lower amortization and variable compensation costs in 2019 as well as the stamp duty charge in 2018. Corporate costs decreased to $37.8 million in the first six months of 2019 compared to $42.1 million during the same period in 2018 primarily due to lower amortization and variable compensation costs in 2019 as well as the stamp duty charge in 2018.

The Company incurred $2.1 million of restructuring expenses in the first six months of 2019 compared with $3.6 million during the same period in 2018. The restructuring expenses were part of initiatives that support the implementation of key strategic efforts designed to facilitate long-term, sustainable growth through cost reduction actions primarily consisting of employee reductions and facility rationalization.

Operating income of $303.1 million and operating margin of 24.0% in the first six months of 2019 were up from the $284.5 million and 22.8%, respectively, recorded during the same period in 2018. The increases in operating income and operating margin are primarily due to gross margin expansion and lower selling, general and administrative expenses.

Other (income) expense - net was $0.5 million of income in the first six months of 2019 compared to $4.5 million of income during the same period in 2018, primarily due to foreign currency transaction gains in 2018 that did not repeat in 2019.

Interest expense of $21.9 million in the first six months of 2019 was essentially flat compared to the same period in 2018.

The provision for income taxes decreased to $58.2 million in the first six months of 2019 compared to $60.8 million during the same period in 2018. The effective tax rate decreased to 20.7% in the first six months of 2019 compared to 22.8% during the same period in 2018 due to an increase in foreign tax credits as a result of U.S. Treasury proposed regulations issued related to Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (“GILTI”), discrete income tax expense in the first quarter of 2018 related to IRS Revenue Procedure 2018-17 and IRS Notice 2018-26 and the mix of global pre-tax income among jurisdictions.

Net income of $223.5 million in the first six months of 2019 increased from $206.1 million during the same period in 2018. Diluted earnings per share of $2.92 in the first six months of 2019 increased $0.27, or 10%, compared to the same period in 2018.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Operating Activities

Cash flows from operating activities for the first six months of 2019 increased $27.4 million, or 14%, to $219.8 million compared to the first six months of 2018 due to higher earnings and favorable operating working capital. At June 30, 2019, working capital was $855.1 million and the Company’s current ratio was 3.4 to 1. At June 30, 2019, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents totaled $543.2 million, of which $341.2 million was held outside of the United States.

Investing Activities

Cash flows used in investing activities for the first six months of 2019 decreased $1.4 million to $24.5 million compared to the same period in 2018 primarily due to proceeds from the disposal of fixed assets.

Cash flows from operations were more than adequate to fund capital expenditures of $25.7 million and $21.0 million in the first six months of 2019 and 2018, respectively. Capital expenditures were generally for machinery and equipment that supported growth, improved productivity, tooling, business system technology, replacement of equipment and investments in new facilities. Management believes that the Company has ample capacity in its plants and equipment to meet demand increases for future growth in the intermediate term.

Financing Activities

Cash flows used in financing activities for the first six months of 2019 were $118.6 million compared to $72.0 million during the same period in 2018, primarily as a result of higher share repurchases and dividends paid in 2019.

On June 13, 2016, the Company completed a private placement of a $100 million aggregate principal amount of 3.20% Senior Notes due June 13, 2023 and a $100 million aggregate principal amount of 3.37% Senior Notes due June 13, 2025 (collectively, the “Notes”) pursuant to a Note Purchase Agreement, dated June 13, 2016 (the “Purchase Agreement”). Each series of Notes bears interest at the stated amount per annum, which is payable semi-annually in arrears on each June 13^th and December 13^th. The Notes are unsecured obligations of the Company and rank pari passu in right of payment with all of the Company’s other unsecured, unsubordinated debt. The Company may at any time prepay all, or any portion of the Notes; provided that such portion is greater than 5% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding. In the event of a prepayment, the Company will pay an amount equal to par plus accrued interest plus a make-whole amount. In addition, the Company may repurchase the Notes by making an offer to all holders of the Notes, subject to certain conditions.

On May 31, 2019, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) along with certain of its subsidiaries, as borrowers (the “Borrowers”), Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, swing line lender and an issuer of letters of credit, with other agents party thereto. The Credit Agreement consists of a revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”), which is an $800.0 million unsecured, multi-currency bank credit facility expiring on May 30, 2024. The Credit Agreement replaces the Company’s existing five-year, $700 million credit agreement, dated as of June 23, 2015, which was due to expire in June 2020. At June 30, 2019, there was no balance outstanding under the Revolving Facility and $9.1 million of outstanding letters of credit, resulting in a net available borrowing capacity under the Revolving Facility of $790.9 million.

Borrowings under the Revolving Facility bear interest, at either an alternate base rate or an adjusted LIBOR rate plus, in each case, an applicable margin. Such applicable margin is based on the better of the Company’s senior, unsecured, long-term debt rating or the Company’s applicable leverage ratio. Interest is payable (a) in the case of base rate loans, quarterly, and (b) in the case of LIBOR rate loans, on the last day of the applicable interest period selected, or every three months from the effective date of such interest period for interest periods exceeding three months. The Company may request increases in the lending commitments under the Credit Agreement, but the aggregate lending commitments pursuant to such increases may not exceed $400 million.

The Company has the right, subject to certain conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement, to designate certain foreign subsidiaries of the Company as borrowers under the Credit Agreement. In connection with any such designation, the Company is required to guarantee the obligations of any such subsidiaries under the Credit Agreement.

There are two key financial covenants that the Company is required to maintain in connection with the Revolving Facility and the Notes, a minimum interest coverage ratio of 3.00 to 1 and a maximum leverage ratio of 3.50 to 1. In the case of the leverage ratio, there is an option to increase the ratio to 4.00 for 12 months in connection with certain acquisitions. At June 30, 2019, the Company was in compliance with both of these financial covenants, as the Company’s interest coverage ratio was 15.98 to 1 and

38

the leverage ratio was 1.25 to 1. There are no financial covenants relating to the 4.5% Senior Notes or 4.2% Senior Notes; however, both are subject to cross-default provisions.

On December 1, 2015, the Company’s Board of Directors approved an increase of $300.0 million in the authorized level for repurchases of common stock. This followed the prior Board of Directors approved repurchase authorization of $400.0 million that was announced by the Company on November 6, 2014. Repurchases under the program will be funded with future cash flow generation or borrowings available under the Revolving Facility. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company repurchased a total of 389 thousand shares at a cost of $54.7 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company repurchased a total of 147 thousand shares at a cost of $20.5 million, of which $1.0 million settled in July 2018. As of June 30, 2019, the amount of share repurchase authorization remaining is $322.3 million.

The Company believes current cash, cash from operations and cash available under the Revolving Facility will be sufficient to meet its operating cash requirements, planned capital expenditures, interest and principal payments on all borrowings, pension and postretirement funding requirements, authorized share repurchases and annual dividend payments to holders of the Company’s common stock for the remainder of 2019. Additionally, in the event that suitable businesses are available for acquisition upon acceptable terms, the Company may obtain all or a portion of the financing for these acquisitions through the incurrence of additional borrowings.

Non-GAAP Disclosures

Set forth below are reconciliations of Adjusted operating income, Adjusted net income, Adjusted EPS, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to the comparable measures of net income and operating income, as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We have reconciled Adjusted operating income to Operating income; Adjusted net income to Net income; Adjusted EPS to EPS; and consolidated EBITDA, segment EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted segment EBITDA to Net income. The reconciliation of segment EBITDA to net income was performed on a consolidated basis due to the fact that we do not allocate consolidated interest expense or the consolidated provision for income taxes to our segments.

EBITDA means earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Given the acquisitive nature of the Company, which results in a higher level of amortization expense from recently acquired businesses, management uses EBITDA as an internal operating metric to provide another representation of the businesses’ performance across our three segments and for enterprise valuation purposes. Management believes that EBITDA is useful to investors as an indicator of the strength and performance of the Company and a way to evaluate and compare operating performance and value companies within our industry. Management believes that EBITDA margin is useful for the same reason as EBITDA. EBITDA is also used to calculate certain financial covenants, as discussed in Note 10 in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1, “Financial Statements.”

This report references organic sales, a non-GAAP measure, that refers to sales from continuing operations calculated according to U.S. GAAP but excludes (1) the impact of foreign currency translation and (2) sales from acquired or divested businesses during the first twelve months of ownership or divestiture. The portion of sales attributable to foreign currency translation is calculated as the difference between (a) the period-to-period change in organic sales and (b) the period-to-period change in organic sales after applying prior period foreign exchange rates to the current year period. Management believes that reporting organic sales provides useful information to investors by helping identify underlying growth trends in our business and facilitating easier comparisons of our revenue performance with prior and future periods and to our peers. The Company excludes the effect of foreign currency translation from organic sales because foreign currency translation is not under management’s control, is subject to volatility and can obscure underlying business trends. The Company excludes the effect of acquisitions and divestitures because they can obscure underlying business trends and make comparisons of long term performance difficult due to the varying nature, size and number of transactions from period to period and between the Company and its peers.

Management uses Adjusted operating income, Adjusted net income, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS as metrics by which to measure performance of the Company since they exclude items that are not reflective of ongoing operations, such as restructuring expenses. Management also supplements its U.S. GAAP financial statements with adjusted information to provide investors with greater insight, transparency and a more comprehensive understanding of the information used by management in its financial and operational decision making.

In addition to measuring our cash flow generation and usage based upon the operating, investing and financing classifications included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, we also measure free cash flow (a non-GAAP measure) which represents net cash provided by operating activities minus capital expenditures. We believe that free cash flow is an important measure of operating performance because it provides management a measurement of cash generated from operations that is

39

available for mandatory payment obligations and investment opportunities, such as funding acquisitions, paying dividends, repaying debt and repurchasing our common stock.

The non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by the Company should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The financial results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and the reconciliations from these results should be carefully evaluated.

Critical Accounting Policies

As discussed in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, the preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. See Part 1, Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, Note 1 Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies. The adoption of recent accounting standards as described in Note 1 had a material impact on our condensed consolidated balance sheet due to the recognition of right of use assets and lease liabilities but did not have and is not expected to have a material impact on our condensed consolidated results of operations or cash flows. Aside from recent accounting standards adopted as described in Note 1, there have been no changes to the Company’s critical accounting policies described in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 that have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Company is subject to market risk associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. The Company may, from time to time, enter into foreign currency forward contracts and interest rate swaps on its debt when it believes there is a financial advantage in doing so. A treasury risk management policy, adopted by the Board of Directors, describes the procedures and controls over derivative financial and commodity instruments, including foreign currency forward contracts and interest rate swaps. Under the policy, the Company does not use financial or commodity derivative instruments for trading purposes, and the use of these instruments is subject to strict approvals by senior officers. Typically, the use of derivative instruments is limited to foreign currency forward contracts and interest rate swaps on the Company’s outstanding long-term debt. As of June 30, 2019, the Company did not have any derivative instruments outstanding.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rates

The Company’s foreign currency exchange rate risk is limited principally to the Euro, Swiss Franc, British Pound, Canadian Dollar, Indian Rupee and Chinese Renminbi. The Company manages its foreign exchange risk principally through invoicing customers in the same currency as the source of products. The effect of transaction gains and losses is reported within Other (income) expense-net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Interest Rate Fluctuation

The Company does not have significant interest rate exposure due to substantially all of the $849.0 million of debt outstanding as of June 30, 2019 being fixed rate debt.

Item 4.    Controls and Procedures

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on the foregoing, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded as of June 30, 2019, that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

44

There has been no change in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during the Company’s most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

45

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.    Legal Proceedings

The Company and its subsidiaries are party to legal proceedings as described in Note 19 in Part I, Item 1, “Legal Proceedings,” and such disclosure is incorporated by reference into this Item 1, “Legal Proceedings.” In addition, the Company and six of its subsidiaries are presently named as defendants in a number of lawsuits claiming various asbestos-related personal injuries, allegedly as a result of exposure to products manufactured with components that contained asbestos. These components were acquired from third party suppliers and were not manufactured by the Company or any of the defendant subsidiaries. To date, the majority of the Company’s settlements and legal costs, except for costs of coordination, administration, insurance investigation and a portion of defense costs, have been covered in full by insurance, subject to applicable deductibles. However, the Company cannot predict whether and to what extent insurance will be available to continue to cover these settlements and legal costs, or how insurers may respond to claims that are tendered to them. Claims have been filed in jurisdictions throughout the United States and the United Kingdom. Most of the claims resolved to date have been dismissed without payment. The balance of the claims have been settled for various immaterial amounts. Only one case has been tried, resulting in a verdict for the Company’s business unit. No provision has been made in the financial statements of the Company, other than for insurance deductibles in the ordinary course, and the Company does not currently believe the asbestos-related claims will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Item 2.     Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

The following table provides information about the Company’s purchases of its common stock during the quarter ended June 30, 2019:

Total	19,143	$	154.73	19,143	$	322,342,564

(1) On December 1, 2015, the Company’s Board of Directors approved an increase of $300.0 million in the authorized level of repurchases of common stock. This followed the prior Board of Directors approved repurchase authorization of $400.0 million that was announced by the Company on November 6, 2014. These authorizations have no expiration date.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of IDEX Corporation (“IDEX,” “we,” “our,” or the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) applicable to interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The statements are unaudited but include all adjustments, consisting only of recurring items, except as noted, that the Company considers necessary for a fair presentation of the information set forth herein. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year.

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations set forth in this report should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases, which set out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both parties to a contract (i.e. lessees and lessors). The standard introduced a new lessee model that requires most leases to be recorded on the balance sheet and eliminates the required use of bright line tests from U.S. GAAP for determining lease classification. In July 2018, the FASB issued the following standards which clarified ASU 2016-02 and had the same effective date as the original standard: ASU 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases and ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements. ASU 2018-11 included an option to use the effective date of ASU 2016-02 as the date of initial application of transition as well as an option not to restate comparative periods in transition. In March 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-01, Leases (Topic 842): Codification Improvements, which also clarifies ASU 2016-02 and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and interim periods within those fiscal years.

The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2019 using the optional transition method provided by the FASB in ASU 2018-11. As we did not restate comparative periods, the adoption had no impact on our previously reported results. We elected to use both the practical expedient that allowed us not to reassess: (1) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, (2) lease classification for any expired or existing leases and (3) initial direct costs for any expired or existing leases as well as the practical expedient that allows us to treat the lease and non-lease components of a lease as a single lease component for all asset classes. We also elected to account for short-term leases in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 842-20-25-2. The adoption of this standard had a material impact on our condensed consolidated balance sheet due to the recognition of right of use assets and lease liabilities. Upon adoption, we recognized right of use assets and lease liabilities of approximately $68 million that reflected the present value of future lease payments. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated results of operations or cash flows. See Note 13 for further information.

Business Combinations and Dispositions [Abstract]

Acquisitions and Divestitures

Acquisitions and Divestitures

All of the Company’s acquisitions of businesses have been accounted for under ASC 805, Business Combinations. Accordingly, the accounts of the acquired companies, after adjustments to reflect the fair values assigned to assets and liabilities, have been included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements from their respective dates of acquisition. The results of operations of the acquired companies have been included in the Company’s condensed consolidated results since the date of each acquisition.

The Company incurred acquisition-related transaction costs of $0.4 million and $0.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $0.7 million and $1.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. These costs were recorded in Selling, general and administrative expenses and were related to completed transactions, pending transactions and potential transactions, including transactions that ultimately were not completed.

2018 Acquisition

On July 23, 2018, the Company acquired Finger Lakes Instrumentation (“FLI”), a technology leader in the design, development and production of low-noise cooled CCD and high speed, high-sensitivity Scientific CMOS cameras for the astronomy and life science markets. Headquartered in Lima, NY, FLI operates in our Health & Sciences Technologies segment. FLI was acquired for an aggregate purchase price of $23.6 million, consisting of $20.2 million in cash and contingent consideration valued at $3.4 million as of the opening balance sheet date. The contingent consideration is based on the achievement of financial objectives during the 24-month period following the close of the transaction. The entire purchase price was funded with cash on hand. Goodwill and intangible assets recognized as part of this transaction were $12.6 million and $7.9 million, respectively. Acquired intangible assets consist of trade names, customer relationships and unpatented technology. The goodwill recorded for the acquisition reflects the strategic fit, revenue and earnings growth potential of this business. The goodwill is deductible for tax purposes.

The Company finalized its allocation of the purchase price for the FLI 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.

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]

Revenue

Revenue

IDEX is an applied solutions company specializing in the manufacture of fluid and metering technologies, health and science technologies and fire, safety and other diversified products built to customers’ specifications. The Company’s products include industrial pumps, compressors, flow meters, injectors, valves and related controls for use in a wide variety of process applications; precision fluidics solutions, including pumps, valves, degassing equipment, corrective tubing, fittings and complex manifolds, optical filters and specialty medical equipment and devices for use in life science applications; precision-engineered equipment for dispensing, metering and mixing paints; and engineered products for industrial and commercial markets, including fire and rescue, transportation equipment, oil and gas, electronics and communications.

Revenue is recognized when control of the promised products or services is transferred to our customers in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for transferring those products or providing those services. We account for a contract when it has approval and commitment from both parties, the rights of the parties are identified, payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance and collectability of the consideration is probable. We determine the appropriate revenue recognition for our contracts with customers by analyzing the type, terms and conditions of each contract or arrangement with a customer.

Disaggregation of Revenue

We have a comprehensive offering of products, including technologies, built to customers’ specifications that are sold in niche markets throughout the world. We disaggregate our revenue from contracts with customers by reporting unit and geographical region for each of our segments as we believe it best depicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of our revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. Revenue was attributed to geographic areas based on the location of the customer. The following tables present our revenue disaggregated by reporting unit and geographical region.

Revenue by reporting unit for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 was as follows:

Contract Balances

The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in customer receivables, advance payments and billings in excess of revenue recognized. Customer receivables include amounts billed and currently due from customers as well as unbilled amounts (contract assets) and are included in Receivables on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Amounts are billed in accordance with contractual terms or as work progresses in accordance with contractual terms. Unbilled amounts arise when the timing of billing differs from the timing of revenue recognized, such as when contract provisions require specific milestones to be met before a customer can be billed. Unbilled amounts primarily relate to performance obligations satisfied over time when the cost-to-cost method is utilized and the revenue recognized exceeds the amount billed to the customer as there is not yet a right to payment in accordance with contractual terms. Unbilled amounts are recorded as a contract asset when the revenue associated with the contract is recognized prior to billing and derecognized when billed in accordance with the terms of the contract. Customer receivables are recorded at face amounts less an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses as a result of customers’ inability to make required payments. Management evaluates the aging of the customer receivable balances, the financial condition of its customers, historical trends and the time outstanding of specific balances to estimate the amount of customer receivables that may not be collected in the future and records the appropriate provision.

The composition of Customer receivables was as follows:

	June 30,   2019		December 31,   2018
Billed receivables	$	314,714	$	299,227
Unbilled receivables	12,034		14,492
Total customer receivables	$	326,748	$	313,719

Advance payments and billings in excess of revenue recognized are included in Deferred revenue which is classified as current or noncurrent based on the timing of when we expect to recognize the revenue. The current portion is included in Accrued expenses and the noncurrent portion is included in Other noncurrent liabilities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Advance payments and billings in excess of revenue recognized represent contract liabilities and are recorded when customers remit contractual cash payments in advance of us satisfying performance obligations under contractual arrangements, including those with performance obligations satisfied over time. Billings in excess of revenue recognized primarily relate to performance obligations satisfied over time when the cost-to-cost method is utilized and revenue cannot yet be recognized as the Company has not completed the corresponding performance obligation. We generally receive advance payments from customers related to maintenance services which we recognize ratably over the service term. Contract liabilities are derecognized when revenue is recognized and the performance obligation is satisfied.

The composition of Deferred revenue was as follows:

	June 30,   2019		December 31,   2018
Deferred revenue - current	$	11,861	$	8,055
Deferred revenue - noncurrent	2,512		3,027
Total deferred revenue	$	14,373	$	11,082

Performance Obligations

A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct product or service to the customer. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. For our contracts that require complex design, manufacturing and installation activities that are not separately identifiable from other promises in the contract and, therefore, not distinct, the entire contract is accounted for as a single performance obligation. For our contracts that include distinct products or services that are substantially the same and have the same pattern of transfer to the customer over time, they are recognized as a series of distinct products or services. Certain of our contracts have multiple performance obligations for which we allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation using an estimate of the standalone selling price of each distinct product or service in the contract. For product sales, each product sold to a customer

generally represents a distinct performance obligation. In such cases, the observable standalone sales are used to determine the standalone selling price. In certain cases, we may be required to estimate standalone selling price using the expected cost plus margin approach, under which we forecast our expected costs of satisfying a performance obligation and then add an appropriate margin for that distinct product or service.

Our performance obligations are satisfied at a point in time or over time as work progresses. Performance obligations are supported by contracts with customers that provide a framework for the nature of the distinct products or services or bundle of products and services. We define service revenue as revenue from activities that are not associated with the design, development or manufacture of a product or the delivery of a software license.

Revenue from products and services transferred to customers at a point in time approximated 95% of total revenues in the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018. Revenue recognized at a point in time relates to the majority of our product sales. Revenue on these contracts is recognized when obligations under the terms of the contract with our customer are satisfied. Generally, this occurs with the transfer of control of the asset, which is in line with shipping terms.

Revenue from products and services transferred to customers over time approximated 5% of total revenues in the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018. Revenue earned by certain business units within the Water, Energy, Material Processing Technologies (“MPT”) and Dispensing reporting units is recognized over time because control transfers continuously to our customers. When accounting for over-time contracts, we use an input measure to determine the extent of progress towards completion of the performance obligation. For certain business units within the Water, Energy and MPT reporting units, revenue is recognized over time as work is performed based on the relationship between actual costs incurred to date for each contract and the total estimated costs for such contract at completion of the performance obligation (i.e. the cost-to-cost method). We believe this measure of progress best depicts the transfer of control to the customer which occurs as we incur costs on our contracts. Incurred cost represents work performed, which corresponds with the transfer of control to the customer. Contract costs include labor, material and overhead. Contract estimates are based on various assumptions to project the outcome of future events. These assumptions include labor productivity and availability; the complexity of the work to be performed; the cost and availability of materials; the performance of subcontractors; and the availability and timing of funding from the customer. Revenues, including estimated fees or profits, are recorded proportionally as costs are incurred. For certain business units within the Energy and Dispensing reporting units, revenue is recognized ratably over the contract term.

As a significant change in one or more of these estimates could affect the profitability of our contracts, we review and update our estimates regularly. Due to uncertainties inherent in the estimation process, it is reasonably possible that completion costs, including those arising from contract penalty provisions and final contract settlements, will be revised. Such revisions to costs and income are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined as a cumulative catch-up adjustment. The impact of the adjustment on profit recorded to date on a contract is recognized in the period the adjustment is identified. Revenue and profit in future periods of contract performance are recognized using the adjusted estimate. If at any time the estimate of contract profitability indicates an anticipated loss on the contract, we recognize provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts in the period in which such losses are determined.

The Company records allowances for discounts and product returns at the time of sale as a reduction of revenue as such allowances can be reliably estimated based on historical experience and known trends. The Company also offers product warranties (primarily assurance-type) and accrues its estimated exposure for warranty claims at the time of sale based upon the length of the warranty period, warranty costs incurred and any other related information known to the Company.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

Earnings Per Common Share

Earnings Per Common Share

Earnings per common share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock (basic) plus common stock equivalents outstanding (diluted) during the period. Common stock equivalents consist of stock options, which have been included in the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding using the treasury stock method, restricted stock and performance share units.

ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, concludes that all outstanding unvested share-based payment awards that contain rights to nonforfeitable dividends participate in undistributed earnings with common shareholders. If awards are considered participating securities, the Company is required to apply the two-class method of computing basic and diluted earnings per share. The Company

has determined that its outstanding shares of restricted stock are participating securities. Accordingly, EPS was computed using the two-class method prescribed by ASC 260.

Basic weighted average shares outstanding reconciles to diluted weighted average shares outstanding as follows:

	Three Months Ended   June 30,		Six Months Ended   June 30,
	2019	2018	2019	2018
Basic weighted average common shares outstanding	75,460	76,539	75,450	76,479
Dilutive effect of stock options, restricted stock and performance share units	927	1,165	884	1,243
Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding	76,387	77,704	76,334	77,722

Options to purchase approximately 0.6 million and 0.3 million shares of common stock for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and 0.6 million and 0.3 million shares of common stock for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because the effect of their inclusion would have been antidilutive.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the six months ended June 30, 2019, by reportable business segment, were as follows:

	FMT			HST		FSDP			IDEX
Balance at December 31, 2018	$	581,041		$	745,357	$	371,557		$	1,697,955

ASC 350, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, requires that goodwill be tested for impairment at the reporting unit level on an annual basis and between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying value. In the first six months of 2019, there were no events or circumstances that would have required an interim impairment test. Annually, on October 31, goodwill and other acquired intangible assets with indefinite lives are tested for impairment. Based on the results of our annual impairment test at October 31, 2018, all reporting units had fair values in excess of their carrying values.

The following table provides the gross carrying value and accumulated amortization for each major class of intangible asset at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018:

	At June 30, 2019								At December 31, 2018

The Banjo trade name and the Akron Brass trade name are indefinite-lived intangible assets which are tested for impairment on an annual basis in accordance with ASC 350 or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired. In the first six months of 2019, there were no events or circumstances that would have required an interim impairment test. The Company uses the relief-from-royalty method, a form of the income approach, to determine the fair value of these trade names. The relief-from-royalty method is dependent on a number of significant management assumptions, including estimates of revenues, royalty rates and discount rates.

Amortization of intangible assets was $9.0 million and $18.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively. Amortization of intangible assets was $9.8 million and $20.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively. Based on the intangible asset balances as of June 30, 2019, amortization expense is expected to approximate $18.0 million for the remaining six months of 2019, $35.3 million in 2020, $34.1 million in 2021, $32.3 million in 2022 and $29.2 million in 2023.

Total long-term borrowings	$	848,555	$	848,335

On June 13, 2016, the Company completed a private placement of a $100 million aggregate principal amount of 3.20% Senior Notes due June 13, 2023 and a $100 million aggregate principal amount of 3.37% Senior Notes due June 13, 2025 (collectively, the “Notes”) pursuant to a Note Purchase Agreement dated June 13, 2016 (the “Purchase Agreement”). Each series of Notes bears interest at the stated amount per annum, which is payable semi-annually in arrears on each June 13^th and December 13^th. The Notes are unsecured obligations of the Company and rank pari passu in right of payment with all of the Company’s other unsecured, unsubordinated debt. The Company may at any time prepay all, or any portion of the Notes, provided that such portion is greater than 5% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding. In the event of a prepayment, the Company will pay an amount equal to par plus accrued interest plus a make-whole amount. In addition, the Company may repurchase the Notes by making an offer to all holders of the Notes, subject to certain conditions.

The Purchase Agreement contains certain covenants that restrict the Company’s ability to, among other things, transfer or sell assets, incur indebtedness, create liens, transact with affiliates and engage in certain mergers or consolidations or other change of control transactions. In addition, the Company must comply with a leverage ratio and interest coverage ratio, as further described below, and the Purchase Agreement also limits the outstanding principal amount of priority debt that may be incurred by the Company to 15% of consolidated assets. The Purchase Agreement provides for customary events of default. In the case of an event of default arising from specified events of bankruptcy or insolvency, all of the outstanding Notes will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. In the case of a payment event of default, any holder of the Notes affected thereby may declare all of the Notes held by it due and payable immediately. In the case of any other event of default, a majority of the holders of the Notes may declare all of the Notes to be due and payable immediately.

On May 31, 2019, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) along with certain of its subsidiaries, as borrowers (the “Borrowers”), Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, swing line lender and an issuer of letters of credit, with other agents party thereto. The Credit Agreement replaces the Company’s existing five-year, $700 million credit agreement, dated as of June 23, 2015, which was due to expire in June 2020.

Terms and fees of the 2019 Credit Agreement are essentially the same as the 2015 credit agreement except for certain fees and interest rate pricing that are more favorable to the Company.

The Credit Agreement consists of a revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”) in an aggregate principal amount of $800 million with a final maturity date of May 30, 2024. The maturity date may be extended under certain conditions for an additional one-year term. Up to $75 million of the Revolving Facility under the Credit Agreement is available for the issuance of letters of credit. Additionally, up to $50 million of the Revolving Facility is available to the Company for swing line loans, available on a same-day basis.

Proceeds of the Revolving Facility are available for use by the Borrowers for working capital and other general corporate purposes, including refinancing existing debt of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Company may request increases in the lending commitments under the Credit Agreement, but the aggregate lending commitments pursuant to such increases may not exceed $400 million. The Company has the right, subject to certain conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement, to designate certain foreign subsidiaries of the Company as borrowers under the Credit Agreement. In connection with any such designation, the Company is required to guarantee the obligations of any such subsidiaries under the Credit Agreement.

Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest, at either an alternate base rate or an adjusted LIBOR rate plus, in each case, an applicable margin. Such applicable margin is based on the better of the Company’s senior, unsecured, long-term debt rating or the Company’s applicable leverage ratio. Interest is payable (a) in the case of base rate loans, quarterly, and (b) in the case of LIBOR rate loans, on the last day of the applicable interest period selected, or every three months from the effective date of such interest period for interest periods exceeding three months.

Voluntary prepayments of any loans and voluntary reductions of the unutilized portion of the commitments under the Credit Agreement are permissible without penalty, subject to break funding payments and minimum notice and minimum reduction amount requirements.

The Credit Agreement contains affirmative and negative covenants usual and customary for such senior unsecured credit agreements, including an interest coverage ratio test and a leverage ratio test, in each case tested quarterly and, in the case of the leverage ratio, with an option to increase the ratio for 12 months in connection with certain acquisitions. The negative covenants include restrictions on the Company on granting liens, entering into transactions resulting in fundamental changes (such as mergers or sales of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company), making certain subsidiary dividends or distributions, engaging in materially different lines of businesses and allowing subsidiaries to incur certain additional debt.

The Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default (subject to grace periods, as appropriate).

At June 30, 2019, there was no balance outstanding under the Revolving Facility and $9.1 million of outstanding letters of credit, resulting in a net available borrowing capacity under the Revolving Facility at June 30, 2019 of approximately $790.9 million.

There are two key financial covenants that the Company is required to maintain in connection with the Revolving Facility and the Notes, a minimum interest coverage ratio of 3.00 to 1 and a maximum leverage ratio of 3.50 to 1, which is the ratio of the Company’s consolidated total debt to its consolidated EBITDA. In the case of the leverage ratio, there is an option to increase the ratio to 4.00 for 12 months in connection with certain acquisitions. At June 30, 2019, the Company was in compliance with both of these financial covenants. There are no financial covenants relating to the 4.5% Senior Notes or 4.2% Senior Notes; however, both are subject to cross-default provisions.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]

Derivative Instruments

Derivative Instruments

The Company enters into cash flow hedges from time to time to reduce the exposure to variability in certain expected future cash flows. The types of cash flow hedges the Company enters into include foreign currency exchange contracts designed to minimize the earnings impact on certain intercompany loans as well as interest rate exchange agreements designed to reduce the impact of interest rate changes on future interest expense that effectively convert a portion of floating-rate debt to fixed-rate debt.

The effective portion of gains or losses on interest rate exchange agreements is reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in shareholders’ equity and reclassified into net income in the same period or periods in which the hedged transaction affects net income. The remaining gain or loss in excess of the cumulative change in the present value of future cash flows or the hedged item, if any, is recognized in net income during the period of change. See Note 15 for the amount of loss reclassified into net income for interest rate contracts for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018. As of June 30, 2019, the Company did not have any interest rate contracts outstanding.

In 2010 and 2011, the Company entered into two separate forward starting interest rate exchange agreements in anticipation of the issuance of the 4.2% Senior Notes and the 4.5% Senior Notes. The Company cash settled these two interest rate contracts in 2010 and 2011 for a total of $68.9 million, which is being amortized into interest expense over the 10 year terms of the respective debt instruments. Approximately $6.2 million of the pre-tax amount included in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)

in shareholders’ equity at June 30, 2019 will be recognized in net income over the next 12 months as the underlying hedged transactions are realized.

At March 31, 2018, the Company had outstanding foreign currency exchange contracts with a combined notional value of €180 million that were not designated as hedges for accounting purposes and, as a result, the change in the fair value of these foreign currency exchange contracts and the corresponding foreign currency gain or loss on the revaluation of the intercompany loans were both recorded through earnings within Other (income) expense - net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations each period as incurred.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company recorded a loss of $0.3 million and a gain of $0.9 million, respectively, within Other (income) expense - net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations related to these foreign currency exchange contracts. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company recorded a foreign currency transaction gain of $0.3 million and a foreign currency transaction loss of $0.9 million, respectively, within Other (income) expense - net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations related to these intercompany loans. For the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company received $6.6 million in settlement of the foreign currency exchange contracts.

In April 2018, the Company settled its outstanding foreign currency exchange contracts in conjunction with its repayment of the underlying intercompany loans and did not extend these foreign currency exchange contracts. Along with the repayment of the intercompany loans, the Company was required to make a capital contribution to one of its subsidiaries, which resulted in a $2.2 million stamp duty in Switzerland which was recorded within Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Fair values relating to derivative financial instruments reflect the estimated amounts that the Company would receive or pay to sell or buy the contracts based on quoted market prices of comparable contracts at each balance sheet date.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Measurements

ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, defines fair value, provides guidance for measuring fair value and requires certain disclosures. This standard discusses valuation techniques, such as the market approach (comparable market prices), the income approach (present value of future income or cash flow) and the cost approach (cost to replace the service capacity of an asset or replacement cost). The standard utilizes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to the valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The following is a brief description of those three levels:

• Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

• Level 2: Inputs, other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.

• Level 3: Unobservable inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions.

The following table summarizes the basis used to measure the Company’s financial assets (liabilities) at fair value on a recurring basis in the balance sheets at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018:

	Basis of Fair Value Measurements
	Balance at   June 30, 2019		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Available for sale securities	$	9,429	$	9,429	$	—	$	—
Contingent consideration	3,375		—		—		3,375

	Basis of Fair Value Measurements
	Balance at   December 31, 2018		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Available for sale securities	$	7,598	$	7,598	$	—	$	—
Contingent consideration	3,375		—		—		3,375

There were no transfers of assets or liabilities between Level 1 and Level 2 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 or the year ended December 31, 2018.

The Company utilized a Monte Carlo Simulation to determine the fair value of the contingent consideration associated with the acquisition of FLI as of the acquisition date. The $3.4 million represents management’s best estimate of the liability, based on a range of outcomes of FLI’s two-year operating results, from August 1, 2018 to July 31, 2020, and is expected to be paid during the third quarter of 2020. As of June 30, 2019, the $3.4 million of contingent consideration is included in Other noncurrent liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The carrying values of our cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair values because of the short term nature of these instruments. At June 30, 2019, the fair value of the outstanding indebtedness under our 3.2% Senior Notes, 3.37% Senior Notes, 4.5% Senior Notes, 4.2% Senior Notes and other borrowings based on quoted market prices and current market rates for debt with similar credit risk and maturity was approximately $875.8 million compared to the carrying value of $850.3 million. At December 31, 2018, the fair value of the outstanding indebtedness under our 3.2% Senior Notes, 3.37% Senior Notes, 4.5% Senior Notes, 4.2% Senior Notes and other borrowings based on quoted market prices and current market rates for debt with similar credit risk and maturity was approximately $851.5 million compared to the carrying value of $850.4 million. These fair value measurements are classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy since they are determined based upon significant inputs observable in the market, including interest rates on recent financing transactions to entities with a credit rating similar to ours.

Leases

Leases

The Company leases certain office facilities, warehouses, manufacturing plants, equipment (which includes both office and plant equipment) and vehicles under operating leases. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet; the Company recognizes lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Certain leases include one or more options to renew. The exercise of lease renewal options is at the Company’s sole discretion. There are currently no renewal periods included in any of the leases’ respective lease terms as they are not reasonably certain of being exercised. The Company does not have any material purchase options.

Certain of our lease agreements have rental payments that are adjusted periodically for inflation or that are based on usage. Our lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

Supplemental balance sheet information related to leases as of June 30, 2019 was as follows:

Classification of stock compensation cost within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations is consistent with classification of cash compensation for the same employees.

As of June 30, 2019, there was $17.3 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options that is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.5 years, $2.0 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to restricted stock that is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.2 years, $5.4 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to cash-settled restricted shares that is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.1 years and $12.6 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to performance share units that is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.1 years.

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

The Company’s provision for income taxes is based upon estimated annual tax rates for the year applied to federal, state and foreign income. The provision for income taxes increased to $31.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 from $29.6 million during the same period in 2018. The effective tax rate of 21.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2019 was flat compared to the same period in 2018.

The provision for income taxes decreased to $58.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 from $60.8 million during the same period in 2018. The effective tax rate decreased to 20.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to 22.8% during the same period in 2018 due to an increase in foreign tax credits as a result of U.S. Treasury proposed regulations issued related to Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (“GILTI”), discrete income tax expense in first quarter 2018 related to IRS Revenue Procedure 2018-17 and IRS Notice 2018-26 as well as the mix of global pre-tax income among jurisdictions.

The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state and foreign jurisdictions. Due to the potential for resolution of federal, state and foreign examinations and the expiration of various statutes of limitation, it is reasonably possible that the Company’s gross unrecognized tax benefits balance may change within the next twelve months by a range of zero to $0.8 million.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases, which set out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both parties to a contract (i.e. lessees and lessors). The standard introduced a new lessee model that requires most leases to be recorded on the balance sheet and eliminates the required use of bright line tests from U.S. GAAP for determining lease classification. In July 2018, the FASB issued the following standards which clarified ASU 2016-02 and had the same effective date as the original standard: ASU 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases and ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements. ASU 2018-11 included an option to use the effective date of ASU 2016-02 as the date of initial application of transition as well as an option not to restate comparative periods in transition. In March 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-01, Leases (Topic 842): Codification Improvements, which also clarifies ASU 2016-02 and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and interim periods within those fiscal years.

The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2019 using the optional transition method provided by the FASB in ASU 2018-11. As we did not restate comparative periods, the adoption had no impact on our previously reported results. We elected to use both the practical expedient that allowed us not to reassess: (1) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, (2) lease classification for any expired or existing leases and (3) initial direct costs for any expired or existing leases as well as the practical expedient that allows us to treat the lease and non-lease components of a lease as a single lease component for all asset classes. We also elected to account for short-term leases in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 842-20-25-2. The adoption of this standard had a material impact on our condensed consolidated balance sheet due to the recognition of right of use assets and lease liabilities. Upon adoption, we recognized right of use assets and lease liabilities of approximately $68 million that reflected the present value of future lease payments. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated results of operations or cash flows. See Note 13 for further information.
