Item 1A. Risk Factors.

For an enterprise as diverse and complex as the Company, a wide range of factors present risks to the Company and could materially affect future developments and performance. In addition to the factors affecting specific business operations identified in connection with the description of our operations and the financial results of our operations elsewhere in this report, the most significant of these factors are as follows:

Changes in U.S. or International Economic Conditions Could Adversely Affect the Revenues and Profitability of Any of Our Businesses.

In 2012, 49% of the Company’s revenue was derived from domestic operations while 51% was derived from international operations. The Company’s largest end markets include life sciences and medical technologies, fire and rescue, petroleum LPG, paint and coatings, chemical processing, water and wastewater treatment and optical filters and components. A slowdown in the U.S. or global economy and in particular any of these specific end markets could reduce the Company’s revenues and profitability.

Conditions in Foreign Countries in Which We Operate Could Adversely Affect Our Business.

In 2012, approximately 51% of our total sales were to customers outside the U.S. We expect our international operations and export sales to continue to be significant for the foreseeable future. Our sales from international operations and our sales from export are both subject in varying degrees to risks inherent in doing business outside the United States. These risks include the following:

• possibility of unfavorable circumstances arising from host country laws or regulations;

• risks of economic instability;

• currency exchange rate fluctuations and restrictions on currency repatriation;

• potential negative consequences from changes to taxation policies;

• disruption of operations from labor and political disturbances;

• changes in tariff and trade barriers and import or export licensing requirements; and,

• insurrection or war.

Any of these events could have an adverse impact on our business and operations.

Our Inability to Continue to Develop New Products Could Limit Our Revenue Growth.

The Company’s revenue grew 3% organically in 2012 and 9% in 2011. Approximately 14% of our revenue was derived from new products developed over the past three years. Our ability to continue to grow organically is tied in large part to our ability to continue to develop new products.

Our Growth Strategy Includes Acquisitions and We May Not be Able to Make Acquisitions of Suitable Candidates or Integrate Acquisitions Successfully.

Our historical growth has included, and our future growth is likely to continue to include acquisitions. We intend to continue to seek acquisition opportunities both to expand into new markets and to enhance our position in existing markets throughout the world. We may not be able to successfully identify suitable candidates, negotiate appropriate acquisition terms, obtain financing needed to consummate those acquisitions, complete proposed acquisitions or successfully integrate acquired businesses into our existing operations. In addition, any acquisition, once successfully integrated, may not perform as planned, be accretive to earnings, or prove beneficial to us.

8

Acquisitions involve numerous risks, including the assumption of undisclosed or unindemnified liabilities, difficulties in the assimilation of the operations, technologies, services and products of the acquired companies and the diversion of management’s attention from other business concerns. In addition, prior acquisitions have resulted, and future acquisitions could result, in the incurrence of substantial additional indebtedness and other expenses.

The Markets We Serve are Highly Competitive and this Competition Could Reduce our Sales and Operating Margins.

Most of our products are sold in competitive markets. Maintaining and improving our competitive position will require continued investment by us in manufacturing, engineering, quality standards, marketing, customer service and support, and our distribution networks. We may not be successful in maintaining our competitive position. Our competitors may develop products that are superior to our products, or may develop methods of more efficiently and effectively providing products and services or may adapt more quickly than us to new technologies or evolving customer requirements. Pricing pressures may require us to adjust the prices of our products to stay competitive. We may not be able to compete successfully with our existing competitors or with new competitors. Failure to continue competing successfully could reduce our revenues, operating margins and overall financial performance.

We are Dependent on the Availability of Raw Materials, Parts and Components Used in Our Products.

While we manufacture certain parts and components used in our products, we require substantial amounts of raw materials and purchase some parts and components from suppliers. The availability and prices for raw materials, parts and components may be subject to curtailment or change due to, among other things, suppliers’ allocations to other purchasers, interruptions in production by suppliers, changes in exchange rates and prevailing price levels. Any change in the supply of, or price for, these raw materials or parts and components could materially affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flow.

Significant Movements in Foreign Currency Exchange Rates May Harm Our Financial Results.

We are exposed to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, particularly with respect to the Euro, Canadian Dollar, British Pound and Chinese Renminbi. Any significant change in the value of the currencies of the countries in which we do business against the U.S. Dollar could affect our ability to sell products competitively and control our cost structure, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. For additional detail related to this risk, see Part II, Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk.”

An Unfavorable Outcome of Any of Our Pending Contingencies or Litigation Could Adversely Affect Us.

We currently are involved in legal and regulatory proceedings. Where it is reasonably possible to do so, we accrue estimates of the probable costs for the resolution of these matters. These estimates are developed in consultation with outside counsel and are based upon an analysis of potential results, assuming a combination of litigation and settlement strategies. It is possible, however, that future operating results for any particular quarter or annual period could be materially affected by changes in our assumptions or the effectiveness of our strategies related to these proceedings. For additional detail related to this risk, see Item 3. “Legal Proceedings.”

Our Intangible Assets, Including Goodwill, are a Significant Portion of Our Total Assets and a Write-off of Our Intangible Assets Would Adversely Impact Our Operating Results and Significantly Reduce Our Net Worth.

Our total assets reflect substantial intangible assets, primarily goodwill and identifiable intangible assets. At December 31, 2012, goodwill and intangible assets totaled $1,321.7 million and $341.4 million, respectively. These assets result from our acquisitions, representing the excess of cost over the fair value of the tangible net

9

assets we have acquired. Annually, or when certain events occur that require a more current valuation, we assess whether there has been an impairment in the value of our goodwill and identifiable intangible assets. If future operating performance at one or more of our reporting units were to fall significantly below forecast levels, we could be required to reflect, under current applicable accounting rules, a non-cash charge to operating income for an impairment. Any determination requiring the write-off of a significant portion of our goodwill or identifiable intangible assets would adversely impact our results of operations and net worth. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) No. 350, the Company concluded that a significant non-cash impairment charge of $198.5 million was required in the fourth quarter of 2012 to reduce the carrying value of goodwill and intangible assets within the IOP platform and goodwill and long-lived assets within the WST platform. See Note 4 in Part II, Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data for further discussion on goodwill and intangible assets.

Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments.

None.

Item 2. Properties.

The Company’s principal plants and offices have an aggregate floor space area of approximately 4.3 million square feet, of which 2.8 million square feet (65%) is located in the U.S. and approximately 1.5 million square feet (35%) is located outside the U.S., primarily in Germany (8%), the U.K. (7%), China (4%) and The Netherlands (2%). Management considers these facilities suitable and adequate for their operations. Management believes the Company can meet the expected demand increase over the near term with its existing facilities, especially given its operational improvement initiatives that usually increase capacity. The Company’s executive office occupies 36,588 square feet of leased space in Lake Forest, Illinois.

Approximately 2.8 million square feet (65%) of the principal plant and office floor area is owned by the Company, and the balance is held under lease. Approximately 1.8 million square feet (42%) of the principal plant and office floor area is held by business units in the Fluid & Metering Technologies Segment; 1.3 million square feet (31%) is held by business units in the Health & Science Technologies Segment; and 1.0 million square feet (23%) is held by business units in the Fire & Safety/Diversified Products Segment.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings.

The Company and six of its subsidiaries are presently named as defendants in a number of lawsuits claiming various asbestos-related personal injuries and seeking money damages, 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 any of the 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 such 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. Most of the claims resolved to date have been dismissed without payment. The balance have been settled for various insignificant amounts. Only one case has been tried, resulting in a verdict for the affected business unit. No provision has been made in the financial statements of the Company for these asbestos-related claims, other than for insurance deductibles in the ordinary course, and the Company does not currently believe these claims will have a material adverse effect on it.

The Company is also party to various other legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, none of which is expected to have a material adverse effect on it.

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures

Not applicable.

2012 Overview and Outlook

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

The Company has three reportable business segments: Fluid & Metering Technologies, Health & Science Technologies and Fire & Safety/Diversified Products. Within these three reportable segments, the Company maintains six strategic platforms, where we will primarily invest organically and through acquisitions, and eight groups, where we will primarily focus on organic growth to drive these businesses. The Fluid & Metering Technologies segment is comprised of the Energy, DDPT, and CFP platforms as well as the WST and Agricultural groups. The Health & Science Technologies segment is comprised of the IOP, Scientific Fluidics and MPT platforms as well as the Containment and Industrial groups. The Fire & Safety/Diversified Products segment is comprised of the Dispensing, Rescue, Band-It, and Fire Suppression groups.

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, agricultural and energy industries. 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, biocompatible medical devices and implantables, air compressors used in medical, dental and industrial applications, optical components and

14

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 Fire & Safety/Diversified Products segment produces firefighting pumps and controls, rescue tools, lifting bags and other components and systems for the fire and rescue industry, and engineered stainless steel banding and clamping devices used in a variety of industrial and commercial applications, precision equipment for dispensing, metering and mixing colorants and paints used in a variety of retail and commercial businesses around the world.

Some of our 2012 financial results are as follows:

• Sales of $1.95 billion rose 6%; organic sales — excluding acquisitions and foreign currency translation — were up 3%.

• Asset impairment charge recorded for $198.5 million.

• Operating income of $128.2 million decreased 58%.

• Net income decreased 81% to $37.6 million.

• Diluted EPS of $0.45 decreased $1.87 or 81% compared to 2011.

On a regional basis North America has remained strong, the Asian markets are improving and we see stabilization in Europe. For 2013, based on the Company’s current outlook, we are forecasting fully diluted EPS of $2.85 to $2.95.

Results of Operations

The following is a discussion and analysis of our results of operations for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2012. For purposes of this Item, reference is made to the Consolidated Statements of Operations in Part II, Item 8, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.” Segment operating income excludes unallocated corporate operating expenses. Certain prior year amounts have been revised to include the Dispensing Equipment segment as part of the Fire & Safety/Diversified Products segment and to reflect the movement of our Trebor business unit from the Health & Science Technologies segment to the Fluid & Metering Technologies segment.

In this report, references to organic sales, a non-GAAP measure, refers to sales from continuing operations calculated according to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States but excludes (1) sales from acquired businesses during the first twelve months of ownership and (2) the impact of foreign currency translation. 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 because the nature, size, and number of acquisitions can vary dramatically from period to period and between the Company and its peers and can also obscure underlying business trends and make comparisons of long-term performance difficult.

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

15

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.

Performance in 2012 Compared with 2011

(in thousands)	2012			2011
Net sales	$	1,954,258		$	1,838,451
Operating income		128,218			304,656
Operating margin		6.6	%		16.6	%
Identifiable assets	$	2,785,390		$	2,836,107
Depreciation and amortization		78,312			72,386
Depreciation and amortization as a percentage of net sales		4.0	%		3.9	%
Capital expenditures	$	35,520		$	34,548
Capital expenditures as a percentage of net sales		1.8	%		1.9	%

Sales in 2012 were $1,954.3 million, a 6% increase from the comparable period last year. This increase reflects a 3% increase in organic sales, 5% from acquisitions (AT Films — January 2011, Microfluidics — March 2011, CVI MG — June 2011, ERC — April 2012 and Matcon — July 2012) and 2% unfavorable foreign currency translation. Organic sales to customers outside the U.S. represented approximately 50% of total sales in the period compared with 52% in 2011.

In 2012, Fluid & Metering Technologies contributed 43% of sales and 82% of operating income; Health & Science Technologies accounted for 35% of sales and (35)% of operating income; and Fire & Safety/Diversified Products represented 22% of sales and 53% of operating income.

Gross profit of $803.7 million in 2012 increased $65.0 million, or 9%, from 2011. Gross margins were 41.1% in 2012 and 40.2% in 2011.

SG&A expenses increased to $444.5 million in 2012 from $421.7 million in 2011. The $22.8 million increase reflects approximately $26.8 million of incremental costs from new acquisitions, $2.7 million for a benefit from forfeited CEO equity compensation recorded in 2011 and a $2.8 million gain from the sale of a facility in Italy recorded in 2011, partially offset by $9.5 million of cost savings initiatives. As a percentage of sales, SG&A expenses were 22.7% for 2012 and 22.9% for 2011.

During 2012, the Company recorded pre-tax restructuring expenses totaling $32.5 million, compared with $12.3 million for the same period in 2011. These restructuring expenses were mainly attributable to employee severance related to employee reductions across various functional areas, the termination of a defined benefit pension plan and facility rationalization resulting from the Company’s cost savings initiatives. These initiatives included exit costs related to five facility closures and severance benefits for 491 employees in 2012 and severance benefits for 292 employees in 2011.

The Company concluded that a non-cash impairment charge was required to reduce the carrying value of goodwill and intangible assets within the IOP reporting unit and goodwill and long-lived assets within the WST reporting unit. The goodwill within IOP primarily originated from the 2011 acquisition of CVI Melles Griot and the goodwill in WST primarily originated from the 2008 acquisitions of IETG and ADS. As a result of our annual test, an impairment charge was required within IOP due to continued softness in the Optics & Photonics end markets. In addition, we were required to perform an interim impairment test within WST at December 31, 2012 due to the reorganization of certain FMT businesses in the fourth quarter. This reorganization, combined with continued softness in municipal end markets, contributed to the impairment charge. As a result of the above testing, the Company recorded a pre-tax charge of $198.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2012. This non-cash asset impairment charge will not affect our liquidity, operations or ongoing financial performance.

16

No additional impairments were identified at any of the other reporting units.

Operating income of $128.2 million in 2012 was down from the $304.7 million recorded in 2011, primarily reflecting $198.5 million of asset impairment charges and an increase of $20.2 million in restructuring-related charges, partially offset by an increase in volume and improved productivity. Operating margin of 6.6% in 2012 was down from 16.6% in 2011 primarily due to the impact of asset impairment charges and restructuring-related charges, as well as the dilutive impact from acquisitions, partially offset by volume leverage and productivity.

Interest expense increased to $42.3 million in 2012 from $29.3 million in 2011. The increase was principally due to higher debt levels resulting from the CVI MG acquisition and higher interest rates associated with converting our Revolving Facility debt in 2011 to fixed rate 4.2% Senior Notes.

The 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 decreased to $48.6 million in 2012 compared to $80.0 in 2011. The effective tax rate increased to 56.3% in 2012 compared to 29.2% in 2011, mainly due to the nonrecurring asset impairment charge recorded in the fourth quarter of 2012. The impairment charge increased our effective tax rate by 26.9%. Our effective tax rate was also impacted by the mix of global pre-tax income among jurisdictions, a reversal of disallowed executive compensation expense in the prior year and the impact of recent acquisitions.

In January 2013, legislation was enacted to extend the federal research and development credit and other favorable tax benefits through December 31, 2013. As a result, we expect that our income tax provision for the first quarter of 2013 will include a discrete tax benefit for the research and development credit which was extended retroactively to January 1, 2012.

Net income for the year of $37.6 million decreased from the $193.9 million earned in 2011. Diluted earnings per share in 2012 of $0.45 decreased $1.87, or 81%, from $2.32 in 2011.

Sales of $833.3 million increased $2.0 million in 2012 compared with 2011. This increase reflected 2% organic growth offset by 2% unfavorable foreign currency translation. The increase in organic sales was largely attributed to growth across our Energy platform and our Agricultural group. In 2012, organic sales increased approximately 7% domestically and decreased 3% internationally. Organic sales to customers outside the U.S. were approximately 47% of total segment sales in 2012, compared with 48% in 2011.

Sales within our Energy platform increased compared to 2011, due to strong demand for systems used in midstream and downstream oil and gas applications both domestically and internationally. Additionally, large Energy project sales to emerging markets drove international sales growth, partially offset by weakness in the European downstream markets due to general economic conditions. Domestic sales growth within Energy was driven by the transportation end markets and strength in our distribution channel. Sales within our CFP platform

17

increased compared to 2011 on strong general industrial and chemical demand in both our OEM and distributor channels in North America and Asia. In addition, CFP sales growth accelerated in emerging markets. Sales within our Agriculture group increased due to robust demand in North America. DDPT sales increased compared to 2011, due to a modest increase in project activity for the chemical and industrial businesses. Offsetting the sales increases above was a decrease in our WST group, which continues to face funding headwinds in the municipal water end market.

Operating income and operating margin of $146.7 million and 17.6%, respectively, were lower than the $164.8 million and 19.8% recorded in 2012, primarily due to $27.7 million of impairment charges and an increase of $3.4 million of restructuring charges, partially offset by productivity and cost reduction initiatives.

Sales of $695.2 million increased $87.3 million, or 14%, in 2012 compared with 2011. This increase reflected 16% growth from acquisitions (AT Films, Microfluidics, CVI MG, ERC and Matcon), offset by a 1% unfavorable foreign currency translation and a 1% decrease in organic sales. In 2012, organic sales increased 2% domestically and decreased 4% internationally. Organic sales to customers outside the U.S. were approximately 51% of total segment sales in both 2012 and 2011.

Sales within our MPT platform increased compared to 2011 due a full twelve months of sales from Microfluidics, acquired in March 2011, strength in Asian food and pharmaceutical markets, and large project orders received in the second half of 2011 which shipped during the first half of 2012. Sales within our Scientific Fluidics platform decreased compared to 2011 due to slowed instrumentation end markets driven by National Institutes of Health funding concerns, inventory reduction programs by our customers and inconsistent OEM demand in North America, partially offset by modest growth in the life sciences end market, particularly in Asia. Sales within our Containment group increased slightly compared to 2011 due to an increase in distributor sales and an upturn in the diesel and gas engine markets. Sales within our Optics and Photonics platform increased compared to 2011 primarily as a result of our CVI MG acquisition. However, 2012 sales within our Optics and Photonics platform were lower than anticipated due to weak demand in the defense, biotech and electronics end markets. Sales at our Industrial group decreased compared to 2011 due to lower sales to distributors and slower sales into automotive end markets.

An operating loss of $62.8 million in 2012 was down from the $106.0 million of income recorded in 2011, primarily due to $170.8 million of impairment charges and $14.7 million of current period restructuring charges, partially offset by the $15.8 million acquisition fair value inventory charge for CVI MG recorded in 2011 and productivity from prior period restructuring actions. A negative operating margin of 9.0% in 2012 was down from 17.4% in 2011, due to the dilutive impact from acquisitions, current period restructuring charges and impairment charges.

Sales of $437.1 million increased $34.6 million, or 9%, in 2012 compared with 2011. This increase reflected 11% organic growth offset by 2% unfavorable foreign currency translation. In 2012, organic sales increased 29% domestically and 1% internationally. Organic sales to customers outside the U.S. were approximately 57% of total segment sales in 2012, compared with 63% in 2011.

Sales within our Dispensing group increased on strength in our core North American markets driven by a large replenishment project, which began shipping in the second quarter of 2012. The sales increase within our Band-It group was driven by general North American industrial market improvement and strength in the oil and gas applications market. Sales within our Fire Suppression group increased as a result of geographic expansions into Asian markets and through the penetration into product adjacencies. Sales within our Rescue group increased as a result of robust demand for our rescue tools within North American markets and traction in South and Central America initiatives.

Operating income of $96.1 million was higher than the $85.9 million recorded in 2011, primarily due to volume leverage and productivity, partially offset by an increase of $3.1 million in restructuring charges and a $2.8 million gain on the sale of a facility in 2011. Operating margin of 22.0% in 2012 was up from 21.3% in 2011, primarily due to improved productivity and cost reduction initiatives, partially offset by current period restructuring charges and the gain on the sale of a facility in 2011.

Sales in 2011 of $1,838.5 million were 22% higher than the $1,513.1 million recorded in 2010. This increase reflected a 9% increase in organic sales, 11% from seven acquisitions (PPE — April 2010, OBL — July 2010, Periflo — September 2010, Fitzpatrick — November 2010, AT Films — January 2011, Microfluidics — March 2011 and CVI MG — June 2011) and 2% favorable foreign currency translation. Organic sales increased in Fluid & Metering Technologies, Health & Science Technologies and Fire & Safety/Diversified Products segments. Domestic organic sales were up 4% versus the prior year, while international organic sales increased 15%. Organic sales to customers outside the U.S. represented 52% of total sales in 2011 and 49% in 2010.

19

In 2011, Fluid & Metering Technologies contributed 45% of sales and 46% of operating income; Health & Science Technologies accounted for 33% of sales and 30% of operating income; and Fire & Safety/Diversified Products represented 22% of sales and 24% of operating income.

Gross profit of $738.7 million in 2011 was $120.2 million, or 19%, higher than 2010. As a percentage of sales, gross profit was 40.2% in 2011, a 70 basis-point decrease from 40.9% in 2010. The decrease in gross margin primarily reflected acquisition fair value inventory charges of $15.8 million related to our CVI MG acquisition, partially offset by higher volume and product mix.

SG&A expenses increased to $421.7 million in 2011 from $358.3 million in 2010. The $63.4 million increase reflected approximately $16.7 million in volume-related expenses, $46.4 million for incremental costs associated with acquisitions and $5.8 million of acquisition-related costs, partially offset by a $2.8 million gain from the sale of a facility in Italy and $2.7 million from the reversal of previously recorded share based compensation costs related to the CEO transition. As a percentage of sales, SG&A expenses were 22.9% for 2011 and 23.7% for 2010.

During 2011, the Company recorded pre-tax restructuring expenses totaling $12.3 million, while $11.1 million was recorded for the same period in 2010. These restructuring expenses were mainly attributable to employee severance related to employee reductions across various functional areas and facility rationalization resulting from the Company’s cost savings initiatives. These initiatives included severance benefits for 292 employees in 2011 and 215 in 2010.

Operating income increased $55.5 million, or 22%, to $304.7 million in 2011 from $249.1 million in 2010. This increase primarily reflected an increase in volume, improved productivity and a gain from the sale of a facility in Italy, partially offset by acquisition fair value inventory charges and acquisition-related costs. Operating margins in 2011 were 16.6% of sales compared with 16.5% recorded in 2010.

Other expense of $1.4 million in 2011 was higher than the $1.1 million expense in 2010, primarily due to higher losses on foreign currency transactions and a loss on an interest rate contract settlement, partially offset by an increase in interest income.

Interest expense increased to $29.3 million in 2011 from $16.2 million in 2010. The increase was principally due to higher debt levels resulting from the funding of the CVI MG acquisition and a higher interest rate associated with the 4.5% senior notes issued in December 2010 with a 5.8% effective interest rate.

The 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 $80.0 million for 2011 compared to $74.8 million in 2010. The effective tax rate decreased to 29.2% for 2011 compared to 32.2% in 2010 primarily due to the mix of global pre-tax income among jurisdictions and as a result of recent acquisitions.

Net income in 2011 of $193.9 million increased from the $157.1 million earned in 2010. Diluted earnings per share of $2.32 in 2011 increased $0.42, or 22%, compared with diluted earnings per share of $1.90 in 2010.

Sales of $831.3 million in 2011 increased $113.0 million, or 16%, compared with 2010. This increase reflected a 13% increase in organic sales, 1% for acquisitions (OBL and Periflo) and 2% favorable foreign currency translation. The increase in organic sales was driven by strong global growth in our agriculture, chemical and energy end markets. In 2011, organic sales increased approximately 9% domestically and 19% internationally. Organic sales to customers outside the U.S. were approximately 48% of total segment sales in 2011 and 46% in 2010.

Operating income of $164.8 million and operating margins of 19.8% in 2011 were up from the $131.0 million and 18.2% recorded in 2010 principally due to higher sales, sourcing initiatives, strategic pricing and cost control.

Sales of $607.9 million increased $199.0 million, or 49%, in 2011 compared with 2010. This change reflected an 11% increase in organic growth, 37% for acquisitions (PPE, Fitzpatrick, AT Films, Microfluidics and CVI MG) and 1% favorable foreign currency translation. The increase in organic sales reflected market strength across all Health & Science Technologies product markets. In 2011, organic sales increased 2% domestically and 17% internationally. Organic sales to customers outside the U.S. were approximately 51% of total segment sales in 2011 and 47% in 2010.

Operating income of $106.0 million in 2011 was up from the $83.3 million recorded in 2010 due to volume leverage, improved mix with new products and increased content on OEM platforms, partially offset by the inventory fair value charge associated with the CVI MG acquisition. Operating margin in the Health & Science Technologies Segment of 17.4% in 2011 was down from 20.4% in 2010 primarily due to the inventory fair value charge associated with the CVI MG acquisition, partially offset by higher volume.

Sales of $402.4 million increased $11.6 million, or 3%, in 2011 compared with 2010. This change reflected 3% favorable foreign currency translation, while organic sales were essentially flat. The change in organic sales reflected strength in rescue equipment, engineered band clamping systems and the Dispensing group within

21

Eastern Europe and Asia, partially offset by weakness in fire suppression and market softness in North America within our Dispensing business. In 2011, organic sales decreased 7% domestically and increased 5% internationally. Organic sales to customers outside the U.S. were 63% of total segment sales in 2011 and 59% in 2010.

Operating income and operating margins in the Fire & Safety/Diversified Products Segment of $85.9 million and 21.3%, respectively, were higher than the $82.3 million and 21.1% recorded in 2010, primarily due to volume leverage, favorable product mix and a gain from the sale of a facility in Italy, partially offset by restructuring related costs.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At December 31, 2012, working capital was $590.4 million and the Company’s current ratio was 3.0 to 1. Cash flows from operating activities increased $108.9 million, or 50%, to $326.2 million in 2012, primarily due to higher operating income, excluding the non-cash asset impairment charge; improved working capital; and the settlement of an interest rate contract for $38.7 million in 2011. At December 31, 2012, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents totaled $318.9 million, of which $201.9 million was held outside of the United States. The Company has not provided an estimate for any U.S. or additional foreign taxes on undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries that might be payable if these earnings were repatriated since the Company considers these amounts to be permanently invested.

Cash flows from operations were more than adequate to fund capital expenditures of $35.5 million and $34.5 million in 2012 and 2011, respectively. Capital expenditures were generally for machinery and equipment that improved productivity and tooling to support global sourcing initiatives, although a portion was for business system technology and replacement of equipment and facilities. Management believes that the Company has ample capacity in its plants and equipment to meet expected needs for future growth in the intermediate term.

The Company acquired Precision Photonics Corporation (“PPC”) in April 2012 for cash consideration of $20.6 million, ERC in April 2012 for cash consideration of $13.3 million and the assumption of approximately $4.7 million of debt, and Matcon in July 2012 for cash consideration of $35.0 million, $2.4 million of working capital adjustments to be paid in the first quarter of 2013, and contingent consideration valued at $8.4 million as of the opening balance sheet date. The cash payments for ERC and Matcon were financed with borrowings under the Company’s credit facility, while the acquisition of PPC was funded with available cash on hand.

The Company completed the acquisitions of AT Films on January 31, 2011 for cash consideration of $31.8 million and contingent consideration valued at approximately $2.7 million, Microfluidics on March 11, 2011 for cash consideration of $18.5 million and CVI MG on June 10, 2011 for cash consideration of $393.3 million and the assumption of approximately $1.4 million of debt. Approximately $365.0 million of the cash payment for CVI MG was financed with borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit facility while the remaining cash payments were funded from cash on hand.

The Company maintains a revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”), which is a $700.0 million unsecured, multi-currency bank credit facility expiring on June 27, 2016. At December 31, 2012, $21.0 million was outstanding under the Revolving Facility, with $6.5 million of outstanding letters of credit. The net available borrowing capacity under the Revolving Facility at December 31, 2012, was approximately $672.5 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. This applicable margin is based on the Company’s senior, unsecured, long-term debt rating and can range from .875% to 1.70%. Based on the Company’s credit rating at December 31, 2012, the applicable margin was 1.05%. Interest is payable (a) in the case of base rate loans, quarterly, and (b) in the case of LIBOR rate loans, on the maturity date of the borrowing, or quarterly from the effective date for borrowings exceeding three months. An annual Revolving Facility fee, also based on the Company’s credit rating, is currently 20 basis points and is payable quarterly.

On June 9, 2010, the Company completed a private placement of €81.0 million ($96.8 million) aggregate principal amount of 2.58% Series 2010 Senior Euro Notes due June 9, 2015 (“2.58% Senior Euro Notes”) pursuant to a Master Note Purchase Agreement, dated June 9, 2010 (the “Purchase Agreement”). The Purchase Agreement provides for the issuance of additional series of notes in the future, provided that the aggregate principal amount outstanding under the agreement at any time does not exceed $750.0 million. The 2.58% Senior Euro Notes bear interest at a rate of 2.58% per annum, which is payable semi-annually in arrears on each June 9th and December 9th and will mature on June 9, 2015. The 2.58% Senior Euro Notes are unsecured obligations of the Company and rank pari passu in right of payment with all of the Company’s other senior debt. The Company may at any time prepay all or any portion of the 2.58% Senior Euro Notes; provided that any such portion is greater than 5% of the aggregate principal amount of notes then outstanding under the Purchase Agreement. In the event of a prepayment, the Company would be required to pay an amount equal to par plus accrued interest plus a make-whole premium. The Purchase Agreement contains certain covenants that restrict the Company’s ability to, among other things, transfer or sell assets, create liens and engage in certain mergers or consolidations. In addition, the Company must comply with a leverage ratio and interest coverage ratio as set forth in the Purchase Agreement. 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 outstanding 2.58% Senior Euro Notes will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. In the case of payment events of defaults, any holder of the 2.58% Senior Euro Notes affected thereby may declare all the 2.58% Senior Euro Notes held by it due and payable immediately. In the case of any other event of default, a majority of the holders of the 2.58% Senior Euro Notes may declare all the 2.58% Senior Euro Notes to be due and payable immediately.

On December 6, 2010, the Company completed a public offering of $300.0 million 4.5% senior notes due December 15, 2020 (“4.5% Senior Notes”). The net proceeds from the offering of approximately $295.7 million, after deducting a $1.6 million issuance discount, a $1.9 million underwriting commission and $0.8 million offering expenses, were used to repay $250.0 million of outstanding bank indebtedness, with the balance used for general corporate purposes. The 4.5% Senior Notes bear interest at a rate of 4.5% per annum, which is payable semi-annually in arrears on each June 15 and December 15. The Company may redeem all or a portion of the 4.5% Senior Notes at any time prior to maturity at the redemption prices set forth in the Note Indenture governing the 4.5% Senior Notes. The Company may issue additional debt from time to time pursuant to the Indenture. The Indenture and 4.5% Senior Notes contain covenants that limit the Company’s ability to, among other things, incur certain liens securing indebtedness, engage in certain sale-leaseback transactions, and enter into certain consolidations, mergers, conveyances, transfers or leases of all or substantially all the Company’s assets. The terms of the 4.5% Senior Notes also require the Company to make an offer to repurchase the 4.5% Senior Notes upon a change of control triggering event (as defined in the Indenture) at a price equal to 101% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any.

On December 9, 2011, the Company completed a public offering of $350.0 million 4.2% senior notes due December 15, 2021 (“4.2% Senior Notes”). The net proceeds from the offering of approximately $346.2 million, after deducting a $0.9 million issuance discount, a $2.3 million underwriting commission and $0.6 million offering expenses, were used to repay $306.0 million of outstanding bank indebtedness, with the balance used for general corporate purposes. The 4.2% Senior Notes bear interest at a rate of 4.2% per annum, which is payable semi-annually in arrears on each June 15 and December 15. The Company may redeem all or part of the 4.2% Senior Notes at any time prior to maturity at the redemption prices set forth in the Note Indenture governing the 4.2% Senior Notes. The Company may issue additional debt from time to time pursuant to the Indenture. The Indenture and 4.2% Senior Notes contain covenants that limit the Company’s ability to, among other things, incur certain liens securing indebtedness, engage in certain sale-leaseback transactions, and enter into certain consolidations, mergers, conveyances, transfers or leases of all or substantially all the Company’s assets. The terms of the 4.2% Senior Notes also require the Company to make an offer to repurchase the 4.2% Senior Notes upon a change of control triggering event (as defined in the Indenture) at a price equal to 101% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any.

On April 15, 2010, the Company entered into a forward starting interest rate contract with a notional amount of $300.0 million and a settlement date in December 2010. This contract was entered into in anticipation of the issuance of the 4.5% Senior Notes and was designed to lock in the market interest rate as of April 15, 2010. In December 2010, the Company settled and paid this interest rate contract for $31.0 million. The $31.0 million is being amortized into interest expense over the 10 year term of the 4.5% Senior Notes, which results in an effective interest rate of 5.8%.

On July 12, 2011, the Company entered into a forward starting interest rate contract with a notional amount of $350.0 million and a settlement date of September 30, 2011. This contract was entered into in anticipation of the issuance of the 4.2% Senior Notes and was designed to lock in the market interest rate as of July 12, 2011. On September 29, 2011, the Company settled this interest rate contract for $34.7 million with a payment made on October 3, 2011. Simultaneously, the Company entered into a separate interest rate contract with a notional amount of $350.0 million and a settlement date of February 28, 2012. The contract was entered into in anticipation of the expected issuance of the 4.2% Senior Notes and was designed to maintain the market rate as of July 12, 2011. In December 2011, the Company settled and paid the September interest rate contract for $4.0 million, resulting in a total settlement of $38.7 million. Of the $38.7 million, $0.8 was recognized as other expense in 2011 and the balance of $37.9 million is being amortized into interest expense over the 10 year term of the 4.2% Senior Notes, which results in an effective interest rate of 5.3%.

There are two key financial covenants that the Company is required to maintain in connection with the Revolving Facility and the 2.58% Senior Euro Notes. The key financial covenants require a minimum interest coverage ratio of 3.0 to 1 and a maximum leverage ratio of 3.25 to 1. At December 31, 2012, the Company was in compliance with both of these financial covenants, as the Company’s interest coverage ratio was 10.05 to 1 and the leverage ratio was 1.92 to 1. There are no financial covenants relating to the 4.5% Senior Notes or 4.2% Senior Notes.

On October 22, 2012, the Company’s Board of Directors approved an increase in the authorized level for repurchases of common stock by $200.0 million. Repurchases under the program will be funded with future cash flow generation. During 2012, 2.2 million shares were purchased at a cost of $89.6 million.

The Company believes current cash and cash that will be generated from operations will be sufficient to meet its operating cash requirements, planned capital expenditures, interest on all borrowings, pension and postretirement funding requirements, authorized share repurchases and annual dividend payments to holders of the Company’s stock for the next twelve months. 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. As of December 31, 2012, $21.0 million was outstanding under the Revolving Facility.

Contractual Obligations

Our contractual obligations include pension and postretirement medical benefit plans, rental payments under operating leases, payments under capital leases, and other long-term obligations arising in the ordinary course of business. There are no identifiable events or uncertainties, including the lowering of our credit rating that would accelerate payment or maturity of any of these commitments or obligations.

Critical Accounting Policies

We believe that the application of the following accounting policies, which are important to our financial position and results of operations, requires significant judgments and estimates on the part of management. For a summary of all of our accounting policies, including the accounting policies discussed below, see Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.”

Revenue recognition — The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collectibility of the sales price is reasonably assured. For product sales, delivery does not occur until the products have been shipped and risk of loss has been transferred to the customer. Revenue from services is recognized when the services are provided or ratably over the contract term. Some arrangements with customers may include multiple deliverables, including the combination of products and services. In such cases, the Company has identified these as separate elements in accordance with ASC 605-25 “Revenue Recognition-Multiple-Element Arrangements-Recognition” and recognizes revenue consistent with the policy for each separate element based on the relative selling price method. Revenues from some long-term contracts are recognized on the percentage-of-completion method. Percentage-of-completion is measured principally by the percentage of costs incurred to date for each contract to the estimated total costs for such contract at completion. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted long-term contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined. 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 in the near-term. Such revisions to costs and income are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined.

The Company records allowances for discounts, product returns and customer incentives at the time of sale as a reduction of revenue as such allowances can be reliably estimated based on historical experience and known

25

trends. The Company also offers product warranties 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.

Goodwill, long-lived and intangible assets — The Company evaluates the recoverability of certain noncurrent assets utilizing various estimation processes. An impairment of a long-lived asset exists when the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its fair value, and is recorded when the carrying amount is not recoverable through future operations. An indefinite lived intangible asset or goodwill impairment exists when the carrying amount of intangible assets and goodwill exceeds its fair value. Assessments of possible impairments of goodwill, long-lived or intangible assets are made when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable through future operations. Additionally, testing for possible impairment of recorded goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset balances is performed annually. The amount and timing of impairment charges for these assets require the estimation of future cash flows and the fair value of the related assets.

The Company’s business acquisitions result in recording goodwill and other intangible assets, which affect the amount of amortization expense and possible impairment expense that the Company will incur in future periods. The Company follows the guidance prescribed in ASC 350, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” to test goodwill and intangible assets for impairment. Annually, on October 31^st or more frequently if triggering events occur, the Company compares the fair value of their reporting units to the carrying value of each reporting unit to determine if a goodwill impairment exists.

The Company determines the fair value of each reporting unit utilizing an income approach (discounted cash flows) weighted 50% and a market approach consisting of a comparable public company multiples methodology weighted 50%. To determine the reasonableness of the calculated fair values, the Company reviews the assumptions to ensure that neither the income approach nor the market approach yielded significantly different valuations.

The key assumptions are updated every year for each reporting unit for the income and market methodology used to determine fair value. Various assumptions are utilized including forecasted operating results, annual operating plans, strategic plans, economic projections, anticipated future cash flows, the weighted average cost of capital, market data and market multiples. The assumptions that have the most significant effect on the fair value calculation are the weighted average cost of capital, the market multiples and terminal growth rates. The 2012 and 2011 ranges for these three assumptions utilized by the Company are as follows:

Assumptions:	2012 Range	2011 Range
Weighted average cost of capital	10.0% to 14%	12.5% to 14.5%
Market multiples	7.5x to 11.0x	6.5x to 13.0x
Terminal growth rates	3.0% to 3.5%	3.0% to 3.5%

In prior periods, the Company disclosed certain reporting units for which the estimated fair value did not significantly exceed carrying value. Assumptions used in estimating fair value included successful execution of business forecasts and favorable market conditions. Consistent with the Company’s approach in its annual impairment testing, in assessing the fair value of the reporting units, the Company considered both the market approach and income approach. Under the market approach, the fair value of the reporting unit is based on comparing the reporting unit to comparable publicly traded companies. Under the income approach, the fair value of the reporting unit is based on the present value of estimated future cash flows. The income approach is dependent on a number of significant management assumptions including estimates of operating results, capital expenditures, other operating costs and discount rates. Weighting was equally attributed to both the market and income approaches (50% each) in arriving at the fair value of the reporting units. As a result of our annual impairment test for the IOP reporting unit and as a result of the reorganization of certain FMT reporting units, the

26

Company determined that the fair value of the IOP and WST reporting units was less than the carrying value of the net assets of the reporting units, and thus the Company performed step two of the goodwill impairment test.

In step two of the goodwill impairment test, the Company determined the implied fair value of the goodwill and compared it to the carrying value, which resulted in a $149.8 million goodwill impairment charge at the IOP reporting unit and a $20.7 million impairment charge at the WST reporting unit.

The unamortized Banjo trade name and the CVI Melles Griot trade names were determined to be 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 asset might be impaired. As a result of our annual impairment test, the Company concluded that the fair value of the CVI Melles Griot trade names within the IOP reporting unit was less than the carrying value, resulting in a $21.0 million impairment charge. The Company also determined that the CVI Melles Griot trade names no longer had an indefinite life and reclassified the remaining $26.0 million to definite lived assets that will be amortized over a remaining useful life of 15 years.

A long-lived asset impairment exists when the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value. Assessments of possible impairments of long-lived assets are made when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable through future operations. The amount and timing of impairment charges for these assets require the estimation of future cash flows and the fair value of the related assets. As a result of the reorganization of certain FMT reporting units, the Company concluded that certain long lived assets within the WST reporting unit had a fair value that was less than the carrying value of the assets, resulting in a $7.0 million impairment charge. No additional impairments were identified at any of the other reporting units.

Defined benefit retirement plans — The plan obligations and related assets of the defined benefit retirement plans are presented in Note 14 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.” Level 1 assets are valued using unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets in active markets. Level 2 assets are valued using quoted prices or other observable inputs for similar assets. Level 3 assets are valued using unobservable inputs, but reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the assets. Plan obligations and the annual pension expense are determined by consulting with actuaries using a number of assumptions provided by the Company. Key assumptions in the determination of the annual pension expense include the discount rate, the rate of salary increases, and the estimated future return on plan assets. To the extent actual amounts differ from these assumptions and estimated amounts, results could be adversely affected.

Changes in the discount rate assumptions will impact the (gain) loss amortization and interest cost components of the projected benefit obligation (PBO), which in turn, may impact the Company’s funding decisions if the PBO exceeds plan assets. Each 100 basis point increase or decrease in the discount rate will cause a corresponding decrease or increase, respectively, in the PBO of an estimated $25.0 million based upon the December 31, 2012 data.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurement: Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”)” (“ASU 2011-04”), which was issued to provide a consistent definition of fair value and ensure that the fair value measurement and disclosure requirements are similar between GAAP and IFRS. ASU 2011-04 changes certain fair value measurement principles and enhances the disclosure requirements particularly for Level 3 fair value measurements. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2012, and its adoption did not impact the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

27

In June 2011, FASB issued ASU 2011-05 “Presentation of Comprehensive Income.” ASU 2011-05 allows an entity to present components of net income and other comprehensive income in one continuous statement, referred to as the statement of comprehensive income, or in two separate, but consecutive statements. The guidance eliminated the option to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of changes in equity. While ASU 2011-05 changes the presentation of comprehensive income, there are no changes to the components that are recognized in net income or other comprehensive income under current accounting guidance. In December 2011, FASB issued ASU 2011-12 “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220); Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05.” ASU 2011-12 deferred certain aspects of ASU 2011-05. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company adopted ASU 2011-05 and the deferrals in ASU 2011-12 on January 1, 2012 and the adoption did not impact the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-02, “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment” (ASU 2012-02), which allows an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform a quantitative impairment test of an indefinite-lived intangible asset. Under ASU 2012-02, an entity would not be required to calculate the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset if the entity determines, based on qualitative assessment, that it is not more likely than not impaired. The revised standard is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012; however, early adoption is permitted. As of December 31, 2012, the Company did not elect to early adopt ASU 2012-02, however it is not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

Item 7A. 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.

The Company’s foreign currency exchange rate risk is limited principally to the Euro, British Pound, Canadian Dollar 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 on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The Company’s interest rate exposure is primarily related to its $786.6 million of total debt outstanding at December 31, 2012. Approximately 4% of the debt is priced at interest rates that float with the market. A 50 basis point movement in the interest rate on the floating rate debt would result in an approximate $0.2 million annualized increase or decrease in interest expense and cash flows. The remaining debt is fixed rate debt.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Significant Accounting Policies

Business

IDEX is an applied solutions company specializing in fluid and metering technologies, health and science technologies, and fire, safety and other diversified products built to its customers’ specifications. Its products are sold in niche markets to a wide range of industries throughout the world. The Company’s products include industrial pumps, compressors, flow meters, injectors and 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, precision photonic solutions, optical filters and specialty medical equipment and devices used in life science applications; precision-engineered equipment for dispensing, metering and mixing paints; refinishing equipment; and engineered products for industrial and commercial markets, including fire and rescue, transportation equipment, oil and gas, electronics, and communications. These activities are grouped into three reportable segments: Fluid & Metering Technologies, Health & Science Technologies and Fire & Safety/Diversified Products.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts 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. The principal areas of estimation reflected in the financial statements are revenue recognition, sales returns and allowances, allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory valuation, recoverability of long-lived assets, income taxes, product warranties, derivatives, contingencies and litigation, insurance-related items, impairment charges, share-based compensation, defined benefit retirement plans and purchase accounting related to acquisitions.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collectability of the sales price is reasonably assured. For product sales, delivery does not occur until the products have been shipped and risk of loss has been transferred to the customer. Revenue from services is recognized when the services are provided or ratably over the contract term. Some arrangements with customers may include multiple deliverables, including the combination of products and services. In such cases the Company has identified these as separate elements in accordance with ASC 605-25 and recognizes revenue consistent with the policy for each separate element based on the relative selling price method. Revenues from certain long-term contracts are recognized on the percentage-of-completion method. Percentage-of-completion is measured principally by the percentage of costs incurred to date for each contract to the estimated total costs for such contract at completion. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted long-term contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined. 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 in the near-term. Such revisions to costs and income are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined.

34

IDEX CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

The Company records allowances for discounts, product returns and customer incentives 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 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.

Shipping and Handling Costs

Shipping and handling costs are included in cost of sales and are recognized as a period expense during the period in which they are incurred.

Advertising Costs

Advertising costs of $15.3 million, $13.4 million and $11.0 million for 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively, are expensed as incurred.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of 90 days or less to be cash and cash equivalents.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses as a result of customer’s inability to make required payments. Management evaluates the aging of the accounts receivable balances, the financial condition of its customers, historical trends and the time outstanding of specific balances to estimate the amount of accounts receivables that may not be collected in the future and records the appropriate provision.

Inventories

The Company states inventories at the lower of cost or market. Cost, which includes material, labor, and factory overhead, is determined on a FIFO basis. We make adjustments to reduce the cost of inventory to its net realizable value, if required, at the business unit level for estimated excess, obsolescence or impaired balances. Factors influencing these adjustments include changes in market demand, product life cycle and engineering changes.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment upon the occurrence of events or changes in circumstances that indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable, as measured by comparing their net book value to the projected undiscounted future cash flows generated by their use. Impaired assets are recorded at their estimated fair value using a discounted cash flow analysis.

Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets

In accordance with ASC 350, the Company reviews the carrying value of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets annually on October 31, or upon the occurrence of events or changes in circumstances that indicate that the carrying value of the goodwill or intangible assets may not be recoverable. The Company evaluates the recoverability of these assets based on the estimated fair value of each of the fifteen reporting units and the indefinite-lived intangible asset. See Note 4 for a further discussion on goodwill and intangible assets.

Borrowing Expenses

Expenses, inclusive of commissions and professional fees, incurred in securing and issuing debt are capitalized and included in Other noncurrent assets. These assets are amortized over the life of the related borrowing and the related amortization is included in Interest expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

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 and unvested shares (diluted) outstanding during the year. Common stock equivalents consist of stock options and deferred compensation units (“DCUs”) and have been included in the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding using the treasury stock method.

ASC 260 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 unvested shares are participating securities. Accordingly, earnings per common share were computed using the two-class method prescribed by ASC 260. Net income attributable to common shareholders was reduced by $0.1 million, $1.2 million and $1.4 million in 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

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

	2012		2011		2010
	(In thousands)
Basic weighted average common shares outstanding		82,689		82,145		80,466
Dilutive effect of stock options, DCUs and unvested shares		952		1,398		1,517
Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding		83,641		83,543		81,983

Options to purchase approximately 1.2 million, 0.7 million and 0.2 million shares of common stock in 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because the effect of their inclusion would have been antidilutive.

Share-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for share-based payments in accordance with ASC 718. Accordingly, the Company expenses the fair value of awards made under its share-based compensation plans. That cost is recognized in the consolidated financial statements over the requisite service period of the grants. See Note 13 for further discussion on share-based compensation.

Depreciation and Amortization

Property and equipment are stated at cost, with depreciation and amortization provided using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:

Land improvements	8 to 12 years
Buildings and improvements	8 to 30 years
Machinery, equipment and other	3 to 12 years
Office and transportation equipment	3 to 10 years

Certain identifiable intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives used in the computation of amortization of identifiable intangible assets are as follows:

Patents	5 to 17 years
Trade names	10 to 20 years
Customer relationships	3 to 20 years
Non-compete agreements	2 to 5 years
Unpatented technology and other	4 to 20 years

Research and Development Expenditures

Costs associated with research and development are expensed in the period incurred and are included in Cost of sales within the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Research and development expenses, which include costs associated with developing new products and major improvements to existing products, were $36.4 million, $36.0 million and $31.8 million in 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Foreign Currency Translation

The functional currency of substantially all operations outside the United States is the respective local currency. Accordingly, those foreign currency balance sheet accounts have been translated using the exchange rates in effect as of the balance sheet date. Income statement amounts have been translated using the average exchange rate for the year. The gains and losses resulting from changes in exchange rates from year to year have been reported in Accumulated other comprehensive loss in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The effect of transaction gains and losses is reported within Other income (expense)-net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Income Taxes

Income tax expense includes United States, state, local and international income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and the tax basis of existing assets and liabilities and for loss carryforwards. The tax rate used to determine the deferred tax assets and liabilities is the enacted tax rate for the year and manner in which the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are recorded to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that will more likely than not be realized.

Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company is not dependent on a single customer, the largest of which accounted for less than 2% of net sales for all years presented.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurement: Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS” (“ASU 2011-04”), which was issued to provide a consistent definition of fair value and ensure that the fair value measurement and disclosure requirements are similar between GAAP and IFRS. ASU 2011-04 changes certain fair value measurement principles and enhances the disclosure requirements particularly for Level 3 fair value measurements. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2012, and its adoption did not impact the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

In June 2011, FASB issued ASU 2011-05 “Presentation of Comprehensive Income.” ASU 2011-05 allows an entity to present components of net income and other comprehensive income in one continuous statement, referred to as the statement of comprehensive income, or in two separate, but consecutive statements. The new guidance eliminates the current option to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of changes in equity. While ASU 2011-05 changes the presentation of comprehensive income, there are no changes to the components that are recognized in net income or other comprehensive income under current accounting guidance. In December 2011, FASB issued ASU 2011-12 “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220); Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05.” ASU 2011-12 deferred certain aspects of ASU 2011-05. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company adopted ASU 2011-05 and the deferrals in ASU 2011-12 on January 1, 2012 and the adoption did not impact the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-02, “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment” (ASU 2012-02), which allows an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform a quantitative impairment test of an indefinite-lived intangible asset. Under ASU 2012-02, an entity would not be required to calculate the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset if the entity determines, based on qualitative assessment, that it is not more likely than not impaired. The revised standard is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012; however, early adoption is permitted. As of December 31, 2012, the Company did not elect to early adopt ASU 2012-02, however it is not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

2. Restructuring

During 2012, 2011 and 2010, the Company recorded restructuring costs as a part of the 2011 and 2009 restructuring 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. The costs incurred related to these initiatives are included in Restructuring expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations while the related accruals are included in Accrued expenses in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Severance costs primarily consist of severance benefits through payroll continuation, COBRA subsidies, outplacement services, conditional separation costs and employer tax liabilities, while exit costs primarily consist of asset disposals or impairments, the termination of a defined benefit plan, legal costs and relocation charges.

2011 Initiatives

During 2012 and 2011, the Company recorded pre-tax restructuring expenses totaling $32.5 million and $12.3 million, respectively, related to our 2011 restructuring initiative for exit costs and employee severance related to employee reductions across various functional areas as well as facility rationalization. The 2011 restructuring initiatives included severance benefits for 491 employees in 2012 and 292 employees in 2011. The 2011 initiative was completed by the end of 2012 and no further restructuring is currently planned. Severance payments are expected to be fully paid in the next 12 months using cash from operations.

2009 Initiatives

During 2010, the Company recorded $11.1 million of pre-tax restructuring expenses related to our 2009 restructuring initiative for employee severance related to employee reductions across various functional areas as well as facility closures resulting from the Company’s cost savings initiatives. The 2009 restructuring initiative included severance benefits for over 700 employees. The 2009 initiatives were substantially complete by the end of 2010, with restructuring charges totaling $23.2 million for the program.

Balance at December 31, 2012	$	524,325		$	553,204		$	244,198		$	1,321,727

(1) Revised to reflect the movement of the Dispensing Equipment segment to the Fire & Safety/Diversified Products segment and the transfer of $20.6 million of goodwill related to the movement of our Trebor business unit from the Health & Science Technologies segment to the Fluid & Metering Technologies segment.

ASC 350 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. Goodwill represents the purchase price in excess of the net amount assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

In prior periods, the Company disclosed certain reporting units for which the estimated fair value did not significantly exceed carrying value. Assumptions used in estimating fair value included successful execution of business forecasts and favorable market conditions. Consistent with the Company’s approach in its annual impairment testing, in assessing the fair value of the reporting units, the Company considered both the market approach and income approach. Under the market approach, the fair value of the reporting unit is based on comparing the reporting unit to comparable publicly traded companies. Under the income approach, the fair value of the reporting unit is based on the present value of estimated future cash flows. The income approach is

42

IDEX CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

dependent on a number of significant management assumptions including estimates of operating results, capital expenditures, other operating costs and discount rates. Weighting was equally attributed to both the market and income approaches (50% each) in arriving at the fair value of the reporting units. As a result of our annual impairment test for the IOP reporting unit and as a result of the reorganization of certain FMT reporting units, the Company determined that the fair value of the IOP and WST reporting units was less than the carrying value of the net assets of the reporting units, and thus the Company performed step two of the goodwill impairment test.

In step two of the goodwill impairment test, the Company determined the implied fair value of the goodwill and compared it to the carrying value, which resulted in a $149.8 million goodwill impairment charge at the IOP reporting unit and a $20.7 million goodwill impairment charge at the WST reporting unit.

The following table provides the gross carrying value and accumulated amortization for each major class of intangible asset at December 31, 2012 and 2011:

The unamortized Banjo trade name and the CVI Melles Griot trade names were determined to be 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 asset might be impaired. Consistent with the Company’s approach in its annual impairment testing in assessing the fair value of the indefinite lived intangible assets, the Company used the relief-from-royalty method, a form of the income approach. The relief-from-royalty method is dependent of a number of significant management assumptions, including estimates of revenues, royalty rates and discount rates. As a result of our annual impairment test, the Company concluded that the fair value of the CVI Melles Griot trade names within the IOP reporting unit was less than the carrying value, resulting in a $21.0 million impairment charge. The Company also determined that the CVI Melles Griot trade names no longer had an indefinite life and reclassified the remaining $26.0 million to definite lived assets that will be amortized over a remaining useful life of 15 years.

A long-lived asset impairment exists when the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value. Assessments of possible impairments of long-lived assets are made when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable through future operations. The amount and

timing of impairment charges for these assets require the estimation of future cash flows and the fair value of the related assets. Due to continued market softness in municipal end markets, the Company concluded that certain long lived assets within the WST reporting unit had a fair value that was less than the carrying value of the assets, resulting in a $7.0 million impairment charge.

Amortization of intangible assets was $41.5 million, $35.5 million and $25.7 million in 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Based on intangible asset balances as of December 31, 2012, amortization expense is expected to approximate $43.7 million in 2013, $41.6 million in 2014, $39.4 million in 2015, $37.5 million in 2016 and $28.4 million in 2017.

Total long-term borrowings	$	779,241	$	806,366

On June 27, 2011, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), as borrowers (the “Borrowers”), with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, swing line lender and an issuer of letters of credit, and other lenders party thereto which provided for a new revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”). The Revolving Facility replaced the Company’s previous $600.0 million credit facility, which expired in December 2011.

The Revolving Facility is in an aggregate principal amount of $700.0 million with a maturity date of June 27, 2016. The maturity date may be extended under certain conditions for an additional one-year term prior to the second anniversary of the initial closing date of June 27, 2011. Up to $75.0 million of the Revolving Facility is available for the issuance of letters of credit. Additionally, up to $25.0 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 may not exceed $950.0 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. Under the Credit Agreement, Fast & Fluid Management Europe B.V., (“FME”) and IDEX UK Ltd. (“IDEX UK”) were approved by the lenders as designated borrowers. At December 31, 2012, FME and IDEX UK had no borrowings under the Revolving Facility.

IDEX CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

Borrowings under the Revolving Facility bear interest, at either an alternate base rate or an adjusted LIBOR rate plus, an applicable margin. Such applicable margin is based on the Company’s senior, unsecured, long-term debt rating and can range from .875% to 1.70%. Based on the Company’s credit rating at December 31, 2012, the applicable margin was 1.05%. Interest is payable (a) in the case of base rate loans, quarterly, and (b) in the case of LIBOR rate loans, on the maturity date of the borrowing, or quarterly from the effective date for borrowings exceeding three months. An annual Revolving Facility fee, also based on the Company’s credit rating, is currently 20 basis points and is payable quarterly.

The Credit Agreement contains affirmative and negative covenants that the Company believes are usual and customary for senior unsecured credit agreements, including a financial covenant requiring the maintenance of a 3.25 to 1.0 or lower leverage ratio, which is the ratio of the Company’s consolidated total debt to its consolidated EBITDA, each as defined in the Credit Agreement.

The Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default (subject to grace periods, as appropriate) including among others: nonpayment of principal, interest or fees; breach of the representations or warranties in any material respect; breach of the financial, affirmative or negative covenants; payment default on, or acceleration of, other material indebtedness; bankruptcy or insolvency; material judgments entered against the Company or any of its subsidiaries; certain specified events under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended; certain changes in control of the Company; and the invalidity or unenforceability of the Credit Agreement or other documents associated with the Credit Agreement.

At December 31, 2012, $21.0 million was outstanding under the Revolving Facility, with $6.5 million of outstanding letters of credit, resulting in net available borrowing capacity under the Revolving Facility at December 31, 2012 of approximately $672.5 million.

On June 9, 2010, the Company completed a private placement of €81.0 million ($96.8 million) aggregate principal amount of 2.58% Series 2010 Senior Euro Notes due June 9, 2015 (“2.58% Senior Euro Notes”) pursuant to a Master Note Purchase Agreement, dated June 9, 2010 (the “Purchase Agreement”). The Purchase Agreement provides for the issuance of additional series of notes in the future, provided that the aggregate principal amount outstanding under the agreement at any time does not exceed $750.0 million. The 2.58% Senior Euro Notes bear interest at a rate of 2.58% per annum, which is payable semi-annually in arrears on each June 9th and December 9th and will mature on June 9, 2015. The 2.58% Senior Euro Notes are unsecured obligations of the Company and rank pari passu in right of payment with all of the Company’s other senior debt. The Company may at any time prepay all or any portion of the 2.58% Senior Euro Notes; provided that any such portion is greater than 5% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding under the Purchase Agreement. In the event of a prepayment, the Company would be required to pay an amount equal to par plus accrued interest plus a make-whole premium. The Purchase Agreement contains certain covenants that restrict the Company’s ability to, among other things, transfer or sell assets, create liens and engage in certain mergers or consolidations. In addition, the Company must comply with a leverage ratio and interest coverage ratio as set forth in the Purchase Agreement. 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 outstanding 2.58% Senior Euro Notes will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. In the case of payment events of defaults, any holder of the 2.58% Senior Euro Notes affected thereby may declare all the 2.58% Senior Euro Notes held by it due and payable immediately. In the case of any other event of default, a majority of the holders of the 2.58% Senior Euro Notes may declare all the 2.58% Senior Euro Notes to be due and payable immediately.

On December 6, 2010, the Company completed a public offering of $300.0 million 4.5% senior notes due December 15, 2020 (“4.5% Senior Notes”). The net proceeds from the offering of $295.7 million, after deducting

a $1.6 million issuance discount, a $1.9 million underwriting commission and $0.8 million offering expenses, were used to repay $250.0 million of outstanding bank indebtedness, with the balance used for general corporate purposes. The 4.5% Senior Notes bear interest at a rate of 4.5% per annum, which is payable semi-annually in arrears on each June 15th and December 15th. The Company may redeem all or a portion of the 4.5% Senior Notes at any time prior to maturity at the redemption prices set forth in the Note Indenture governing the 4.5% Senior Notes. The Company may issue additional debt from time to time pursuant to the Indenture. The Indenture and 4.5% Senior Notes contain covenants that limit the Company’s ability to, among other things, incur certain liens securing indebtedness, engage in certain sale-leaseback transactions, and enter into certain consolidations, mergers, conveyances, transfers or leases of all or substantially all the Company’s assets. The terms of the 4.5% Senior Notes also require the Company to make an offer to repurchase the 4.5% Senior Notes upon a change of control triggering event (as defined in the Indenture) at a price equal to 101% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any.

On December 9, 2011, the Company completed a public offering of $350.0 million 4.2% senior notes due December 15, 2021 (“4.2% Senior Notes”). The net proceeds from the offering of $346.2 million, after deducting a $0.9 million issuance discount, a $2.3 million underwriting commission and $0.6 million offering expenses, were used to repay $306.0 million of outstanding bank indebtedness, with the balance used for general corporate purposes. The 4.2% Senior Notes bear interest at a rate of 4.2% per annum, which is payable semi-annually in arrears on each June 15th and December 15th. The Company may redeem all or a portion of the 4.2% Senior Notes at any time prior to maturity at the redemption prices set forth in the Note Indenture governing the 4.2% Senior Notes. The Company may issue additional debt from time to time pursuant to the Indenture. The Indenture and 4.2% Senior Notes contain covenants that limit the Company’s ability to, among other things, incur certain liens securing indebtedness, engage in certain sale-leaseback transactions, and enter into certain consolidations, mergers, conveyances, transfers or leases of all or substantially all the Company’s assets. The terms of the 4.2% Senior Notes also require the Company to make an offer to repurchase the 4.2% Senior Notes upon a change of control triggering event (as defined in the Indenture) at a price equal to 101% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any.

Other borrowings of $10.6 million at December 31, 2012 were comprised of capital leases, debt at international locations maintained for working capital purposes and international debt as a result of acquisitions. Interest is payable on the outstanding debt balances at the international locations at rates ranging from 0.4% to 3.7% per annum.

There are two key financial covenants that the Company is required to maintain in connection with the Revolving Facility and 2.58% Senior Euro Notes. The most restrictive financial covenants under these debt instruments require a minimum interest coverage ratio of 3.0 to 1 and a maximum leverage ratio of 3.25 to 1. At December 31, 2012, 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.

6. Derivative Instruments

The Company enters into cash flow hedges to reduce the exposure to variability in certain expected future cash flows. The type of cash flow hedges the Company enters into includes foreign currency contracts and interest rate exchange agreements that effectively convert a portion of floating-rate debt to fixed-rate debt and are designed to reduce the impact of interest rate changes on future interest expense.

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 into net income during the period of change.

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.

As of December 31, 2012, the Company did not have any interest rate or foreign exchange contracts outstanding.

On April 15, 2010, the Company entered into a forward starting interest rate contract with a notional amount of $300.0 million with a settlement date in December 2010. This contract was entered into in anticipation of the issuance of the 4.5% Senior Notes and was designed to lock in the market interest rate as of April 15, 2010. In December 2010, the Company settled and paid this interest rate contract for $31.0 million. The $31.0 million is being amortized into interest expense over the 10 year term of the 4.5% Senior Notes, which results in an effective interest rate of 5.8%.

On July 12, 2011, the Company entered into a forward starting interest rate contract with a notional amount of $350.0 million and a settlement date of September 30, 2011. This contract was entered into in anticipation of the issuance of the 4.2% Senior Notes and was designed to lock in the market interest rate as of July 12, 2011. On September 29, 2011, the Company settled this interest rate contract for $34.7 million with a payment made on October 3, 2011. Simultaneously, the Company entered into a separate interest rate contract with a notional amount of $350.0 million and a settlement date of February 28, 2012. The contract was entered into in anticipation of the expected issuance of the 4.2% Senior Notes and was designed to maintain the market rate as of July 12, 2011. In December 2011, the Company settled and paid the September interest rate contract for $4.0 million, resulting in a total settlement of $38.7 million. Of the $38.7 million, $0.8 million was recognized as other expense in 2011 and the balance of $37.9 million is being amortized into interest expense over the 10 year term of the 4.2% Senior Notes, which results in an effective interest rate of 5.3%.

The following table summarizes the gain (loss) recognized and the amounts and location of income (expense) and gain (loss) reclassified into income for interest rate contracts and foreign currency contracts for the year ended December 31, 2012 and 2011:

7. 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 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 sheet at December 31, 2012 and 2011:

	Basis of Fair Value Measurements
	Balance at December 31, 2012			Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
	(In thousands)
Money market investments	$	11,165		$	11,165		—		—
Available for sale securities		2,862			2,862		—		—
Contingent consideration		(9,043	)		—		—		(9,043	)

	Balance at December 31, 2011			Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
	(In thousands)
Money market investments	$	11,899		$	11,899		—		—
Available for sale securities		2,785			2,785		—		—
Contingent consideration		(3,000	)		—		—	$	(3,000	)

There were no transfers of assets or liabilities between Level 1 and Level 2 in 2012 or 2011.

In determining the fair value of the contingent consideration potentially due on the acquisition of Matcon, the Company used probability weighted estimates adjusted for the time value of money. The Matcon contingent consideration liability is valued at $9.0 million, of which $8.4 million was recorded as part of the purchase price as of the opening balance sheet date and the remaining $0.6 was recognized to SG&A in the fourth quarter of 2012. At December 31, 2012, $3.5 million of the contingent consideration is included in Accrued expenses and $5.5 million of contingent consideration is recorded in Noncurrent liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. In February 2012, the Company paid $1.5 million as contingent consideration for the AT Films acquisition. The remaining liability on the AT Films contingent consideration of $1.5 million was recognized as a benefit to SG&A in 2012, as the Company determined that the contingent consideration will not be earned.

IDEX CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

The carrying value of our cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximates their fair values because of the short term nature of these instruments. At December 31, 2012, the fair value of our Revolving Facility, 2.58% Senior Euro Notes, 4.5% Senior Notes and 4.2% Senior Notes, based on quoted market prices and current market rates for debt with similar credit risk and maturity, was approximately $806.3 million compared to the carrying value of $775.9 million. This fair value measurement is classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy since it is 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.

8. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company leases certain office facilities, warehouses and data processing equipment under operating leases. Rental expense totaled $18.4 million, $19.0 million and $13.9 million in 2012, 2011, and 2010, respectively.

The aggregate future minimum lease payments for operating and capital leases as of December 31, 2012 were as follows:

We recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. As of December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, we had approximately $0.7 million, $0.5 million and $0.8 million, respectively, of accrued interest related to uncertain tax positions. As of December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, we had approximately $0.5 million, $0.2 million and $0.4 million, respectively, of accrued penalties related to uncertain tax positions.

The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that would affect our effective tax rate if recognized is $5.8 million, $5.0 million and $5.8 million as of December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The tax years 2007-2011 remain open to examination by major taxing 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 12 months by a range of zero to $2.7 million.

The Company had net operating loss and credit carry forwards for U.S. federal purposes at December 31, 2012 and 2011 of $13.9 and $14.0 million, respectively. For non-U.S. purposes, the Company had net operating loss carry forwards at December 31, 2012 and 2011 of $7.8 and $12.4 million, respectively. The federal net operating loss carry forwards are available for use against the Company’s consolidated federal taxable income and expire between 2018 and 2031. The entire balance of the non-U.S. net operating losses are available to be carried forward, with $3.7 million of these losses beginning to expire during the years 2018 through 2021. The remaining $4.1 million of such losses can be carried forward indefinitely.

At December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company had a foreign capital loss carry forward of approximately $1.0 million and $1.1 million, respectively. The foreign capital loss can be carried forward indefinitely. At both December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company has a valuation allowance against the deferred tax asset attributable to the foreign capital loss of $0.2 million. At December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company had state net operating loss and credit carry forwards of approximately $38.8 million and $18.0 million, respectively. If unutilized, the state net operating loss will expire between 2019 and 2032.

The majority of the options issued to employees become exercisable in four equal installments, beginning one year from the date of grant, and generally expire 10 years from the date of grant. Stock options granted to non-employee directors cliff vest after one year. Unvested share and unvested share unit awards generally cliff vest after three years for employees and non-employee directors. The Company issued 230,975, 341,876 and 264,915 of unvested shares as compensation to key employees in 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

All unvested shares carry dividend and voting rights, and the sale of the shares is restricted prior to the date of vesting.

The Company accounts for share-based payments in accordance with ASC 718. Accordingly, the Company expenses the fair value of awards made under its share-based plans. That cost is recognized in the consolidated financial statements over the requisite service period of the grants.

Weighted average option fair values and assumptions for the period specified are disclosed in the following table:

	Years Ended December 31,
	2012	2011	2010
Weighted average fair value of grants	$11.40	$12.30	$ 9.56
Dividend yield	1.59%	1.46%	1.51%
Volatility	32.00%	32.72%	33.43%
Risk-free interest rate	0.17% - 3.96%	0.28% - 5.61%	0.32% - 5.67%
Expected life (in years)	5.98	6.14	5.98

The assumptions are as follows:

• The Company estimated volatility using its historical share price performance over the contractual term of the option.

• The Company uses historical data to estimate the expected life of the option. The expected life assumption for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 is an output of the Binomial lattice option-pricing model, which incorporates vesting provisions, rate of voluntary exercise and rate of post-vesting termination over the contractual life of the option to define expected employee behavior.

• The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for periods within the contractual life of the option. For the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, we present the range of risk-free one-year forward rates, derived from the U.S. treasury yield curve, utilized in the Binomial lattice option-pricing model.

• The expected dividend yield is based on the Company’s current dividend yield as the best estimate of projected dividend yield for periods within the contractual life of the option.

The Company’s policy is to recognize compensation cost on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award. Additionally, the Company’s general policy is to issue new shares of common stock to satisfy stock option exercises or grants of unvested shares.

The intrinsic value for stock options outstanding and exercisable is defined as the difference between the market value of the Company’s common stock as of the end of the period, and the grant price. The total intrinsic value of options exercised in 2012, 2011 and 2010, was $23.5 million, $21.9 million and $14.4 million, respectively. In 2012, 2011 and 2010, cash received from options exercised was $45.8 million, $33.1 million and $18.1 million, respectively, while the actual tax benefit realized for the tax deductions from stock options exercised totaled $8.6 million, $8.0 million and $5.2 million, respectively.

A summary of the Company’s unvested share activity as of December 31, 2012, and changes during the year ending December 31, 2012 is presented in the following table:

14. Retirement Benefits

The Company sponsors several qualified and nonqualified pension plans and other postretirement plans for its employees. The Company uses a measurement date of December 31 for its defined benefit pension plans and post retirement medical plans. The Company employs the measurement date provisions of ASC 715, “Compensation-Retirement Benefits”, which require the measurement date of plan assets and liabilities to coincide with the sponsor’s year end.

The following table provides a reconciliation of the changes in the benefit obligations and fair value of plan assets over the two-year period ended December 31, 2012, and a statement of the funded status at December 31 for both years.

The discount rates for our plans are derived by matching the plan’s cash flows to a yield curve that provides the equivalent yields on zero-coupon bonds for each maturity. The discount rate selected is the rate that produces the same present value of cash flows.

In selecting the expected rate of return on plan assets, the Company considers the historical returns and expected returns on plan assets. The expected returns are evaluated using asset return class, variance and correlation assumptions based on the plan’s target asset allocation and current market conditions.

Prior service costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the average remaining service period of active participants. Gains and losses in excess of 10% of the greater of the benefit obligation or the market value of assets are amortized over the average remaining service period of active participants.

Costs of defined contribution plans were $7.9 million, $7.8 million and $7.0 million for 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

The Company, through its subsidiaries, participates in certain multiemployer pension plans covering approximately 400 participants under U.S. collective bargaining agreements. None of these plans are considered individually significant to the Company as contributions to these plans totaled $1.0 million, $1.0 million, and $0.9 million for 2012, 2011, and 2010, respectively.

For measurement purposes, a 7.46% weighted average annual rate of increase in the per capita cost of covered health care benefits was assumed for 2012. The rate was assumed to decrease gradually each year to a rate of 4.49% for 2027, and remain at that level thereafter. Assumed health care cost trend rates have a significant effect on the amounts reported for the health care plans. A 1% increase in the assumed health care cost trend rates would increase the service and interest cost components of the net periodic benefit cost by $0.2 million and the health care component of the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation by $2.0 million. A 1% decrease in the assumed health care cost trend rate would decrease the service and interest cost components of the net periodic benefit cost by $0.2 million and the health care component of the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation by $1.7 million.

Investment Policies and Strategies

The investment objectives of the Company’s plan assets are to earn the highest possible rate of return consistent with the tolerance for risk as determined periodically by the Company in its role as a fiduciary. The general guidelines of asset allocation of fund assets are that “equities” will represent from 55% to 75% of the market value of total fund assets with a target of 66%, and “fixed income” obligations, including cash, will represent from 25% to 45% with a target of 34%. The term “equities” includes common stock, convertible bonds and convertible stock. The term “fixed income” includes preferred stock and/or contractual payments with a specific maturity date. The Company strives to maintain asset allocations within the designated ranges by conducting periodic reviews of fund allocations and plan liquidity needs, and rebalancing the portfolio accordingly. The total fund performance is monitored and results measured using a 3- to 5-year moving average against long-term absolute and relative return objectives to meet actuarially determined forecasted benefit obligations. No restrictions are placed on the selection of individual investments by the qualified investment fund managers. The performance of the investment fund managers is reviewed on a regular basis, using appointed professional independent advisors. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, there were no shares of the Company’s stock held in plan assets.

Cash Flows

The Company expects to contribute approximately $7.0 million to its defined benefit plans and $0.9 million to its other postretirement benefit plans in 2013. The Company also expects to contribute approximately $8.6 million to its defined contribution plan and $7.0 million to its 401(k) savings plan in 2013.

Estimated Future Benefit Payments

The future estimated benefit payments for the next five years and the five years thereafter are as follows: 2013 — $12.8 million; 2014 — $10.2 million; 2015 — $9.8 million; 2016 — $9.9 million; 2017 — $10.4 million; 2018 to 2022 — $56.7 million

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of IDEX Corporation

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of IDEX Corporation and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2012. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of IDEX Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2012, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012, based on the criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, and our report dated February 21, 2013, expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of IDEX Corporation

We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of IDEX Corporation and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2012, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. As described in Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, management excluded from its assessment the internal control over financial reporting at Precision Photonics Corporation (“PPC”), which was acquired on April 11, 2012, ERC, which was acquired on April 30, 2012, and Matcon Group Ltd (“Matcon”), which was acquired on July 20, 2012. These exclusions constitute 6.0% and 3.8% of net and total assets, respectively, and 1.7% of net sales, of the consolidated financial statement amounts as of and for the year ended December 31, 2012. Accordingly, our audit did not include the internal control over financial reporting at PPC, ERC and Matcon. The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company’s principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the company’s board of directors, management, and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“generally accepted accounting principles”). A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of the inherent limitations of internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012, based on the criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2012, of the Company and our report dated February 21, 2013, expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.

MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

Internal control over financial reporting refers to the process designed by, or under the supervision of, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, and effected by our board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and includes those policies and procedures that:

• Pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;

• Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and

• Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Internal control over financial reporting cannot provide absolute assurance of achieving financial reporting objectives because of its inherent limitations. Internal control over financial reporting is a process that involves human diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgment and breakdowns resulting from human failures. Internal control over financial reporting also can be circumvented by collusion or improper management override. Because of such limitations, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk. Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting for the Company. Management has used the framework set forth in the report entitled “Internal Control — Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission to assess the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Management has concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2012.

The Company completed the acquisitions of PPC in April 2012, ERC in April 2012 and Matcon in July 2012. Due to the timing of the acquisitions, management has excluded these acquisitions from our evaluation of effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting. This exclusion represented 1.7% of total sales, 6.0% of net assets and 3.8% of total assets for the year ended December 31, 2012.

The effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012, has been audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which appears herein.

As required by SEC Rule 13a-15(b), 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 that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2012.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting appearing on page 70 of this report is incorporated into this Item 9A by reference.

Equity Compensation Plan Information

The following table sets forth certain information with respect to the Company’s equity compensation plans as of December 31, 2012.

Plan Category	Number of Securities To be Issued Upon Exercise of Outstanding Options, Warrants and Rights		Weighted-Average Exercise Price of Outstanding Options, Warrants and Rights		Number of Securities Remaining Available for Future Issuance Under Equity Compensation Plans(1)(2)
Equity compensation plans approved by the Company’s stockholders		3,715,323	$	33.16		3,427,582

(1) Excludes securities to be issued upon the exercise of outstanding options, warrants and rights.

(2) All deferred compensation units (“DCUs”) issued under the Directors Deferred Compensation Plan and Deferred Compensation Plan for Non-officer Presidents are to be issued under the Company’s Incentive Award Plan and any DCUs remaining in these plans were eliminated by shareholder approval on April 8, 2008. DCUs issued under the Deferred Compensation Plan for Officers continue to be issued under the Incentive Award Plan. The number of DCUs is determined by dividing the amount deferred by the closing price of the common stock the day before the date of deferral. The DCUs are entitled to receive dividend equivalents which are reinvested in DCUs based on the same formula for investment of a participant’s deferral. Since deferred compensation is payable upon separation of service within the meaning of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, no benefits are payable prior to the date that is six months after the date of separation of service, or the date of death of the employee, if earlier.

Dear Dan:

As part of our ongoing review of our executive compensation programs, IDEX Corporation seeks to ensure that executives are provided market competitive protection benefits.

Based upon the results of that review, and while we fully expect that IDEX will continue to grow and prosper as an independent publicly-traded company, we are offering the following levels of benefit based upon your role as Vice President, Business Development for IDEX Corporation in the case of unforeseen circumstances.

• In the event of a “Change in Control,” as defined in the Amended and Restated IDEX Corporation Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan, that results in your termination from service within twenty-four (24) months of the Change in Control, the Company shall be obligated to pay your base salary at the rate then in effect and your then current target annual bonus (MICP or equivalent plan) for twenty-four (24) months following the date of termination (for a total payment of two (2) times both annual base salary and target annual bonus) in a lump sum in exchange for a signed release within 50 days of your termination. This payment shall not be applicable in the event of your voluntary termination.

• If, in the future, your employment with IDEX Corporation is terminated without cause (“cause” defined as willful misconduct or fraudulent behavior), IDEX will pay you twelve (12) months’ base salary at the then current monthly base rate plus your targeted annual incentive bonus (MICP or equivalent plan) in a lump sum in exchange for a signed release within 50 days of your termination. Such benefit will not be applicable in the event of your voluntary termination.

• All other provisions of your current IDEX compensation and benefits programs remain the same.

Dan, we appreciate your contributions to IDEX and wish you continuing success.

Sincerely,

/s/ Lawrence D.Kingsley

EXHIBIT 10.18

Plan: IDEX Corporation Incentive Award Plan

As Amended and Restated effective April 6, 2010

IDEX CORPORATION

PERFORMANCE SHARE Unit Award Agreement

Effective on the Grant Date, you have been granted Performance Share Units (the “Performance Units”) providing you the entitlement to receive a share of IDEX Corporation (the “Company” or “IDEX”) Common Stock for each Performance Unit that is earned and vested, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of the IDEX Corporation Incentive Award Plan, as Amended and Restated effective April 6, 2010 (the “Plan”), which is incorporated herein by this reference and made a part of this Agreement .

The number of Performance Units granted, represents a target number of shares that may be earned based upon satisfaction of the target Performance Goal as set forth on Schedule A (the “Target Award”). The actual number of Performance Units earned and vested may be greater or less than the Target Award, or even zero and will be determined based on the Company’s actual performance level achieved as set forth on Schedule A.

In addition to the Performance Units, you are also entitled to receive Dividend Equivalents on each Performance Unit actually earned and vested equal to the amount of dividend which would have been paid on a share of Common Stock for which a record date falls during the Performance Period, without interest thereon. If the dividend on Common Stock is paid in property other than cash, the Compensation Committee in its sole and absolute discretion will determine the fair market value of such property for purposes of paying the Dividend Equivalents.

The “Performance Period” for the Performance Units is the three year period beginning January 1 (“Beginning Date”) and ending December 31 (“End Date”) as set forth on Schedule A, except as otherwise provided below.

In the event of the termination of your service to the Company or any corporation or other entity of which a majority of the outstanding voting stock or voting power is beneficially owned by the Company (its “Subsidiary”), prior to the End Date for any reason, whether such termination is occasioned by you, by the Company or a Subsidiary, with or without cause or by mutual agreement (“Termination of Service”), your right to earn or vest in your Performance Units and Dividend Equivalents will terminate effective as of the date of Termination of Service and your Performance Units and all Dividend Equivalents thereon will be automatically cancelled and forfeited. If your employment or service is in a

2013 – 8 PSU Agreement	Page 1	Revised: 02/07/2013
| ||		| |

jurisdiction which requires under applicable statute or common law a notice period for termination or a period of pay in lieu of such notice (each, the “Notice Period”), you have no rights to earn or vest in your Performance Units or to receive Dividend Equivalents during the Notice Period.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Performance Units and any Dividend Equivalents thereon shall be fully vested upon your Termination of Service by reason of death, Disability, or Retirement and the Performance Units and Dividend Equivalents thereon earned will be determined based upon the performance level achieved with respect to the Performance Goal as set forth on Schedule A from the Beginning Date through the December 31 following your Termination of Service, which for this purpose shall be the End Date of the Performance Period.

If you terminate employment with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as an employee, but you continue to provide bona fide services under a written agreement with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as a consultant or contractor you will still be considered to have a Termination of Service upon termination of your employment, unless you enter into a written agreement with the Company explicitly providing that you will not have a Termination of Service, for this plan only, while performing the non-employee services.

In all cases, Termination of Service will be interpreted and determined in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code.

For the purposes of this Agreement: (i) “Disability” means that you could qualify to receive long-term disability payments under the Company’s long-term disability insurance program, as it may be amended from time to time, (ii) “Retirement” means your Termination of Service on or after accruing at least five Years of Service with the Company or a Subsidiary after being acquired by the Company, and attaining an age of at least 50, if the sum of your age and Years of Service is at least 70, (iii) “Years of Service” means the number of continuous full years of employment with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

Upon Change in Control, as defined in the Plan, Performance Units and Dividend Equivalents thereon shall be deemed fully earned and vested based upon the performance level achieved from the Beginning Date through the date of the Change in Control, which for this purpose will be deemed to be the End Date of the Performance Period.

The Company has the authority to deduct or withhold, or require you to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy applicable federal, state, local and foreign taxes arising from the receipt of the shares of Common Stock upon settlement of the Performance Units or of cash upon payment of Dividend Equivalents. You may satisfy your tax obligation, in whole or in part, by either: (i) electing to have the Company withhold cash payable, or shares otherwise to be delivered with a fair market value equal to the minimum amount of the tax withholding obligation; (ii) surrendering to the Company previously owned Common Stock with a fair market value equal to the minimum amount of the tax withholding obligation or (iii) by deduction from salary or any other payment payable to you at any time on or after the day an income tax charge arises in respect of the shares.

You acknowledge that all employees, including corporate officers, of IDEX are prohibited from engaging in any transaction in which they may profit from short-term speculative swings in the value of the company securities (“hedging”) and agree not to engage in any hedging transactions. For this purpose, “hedging” includes “short-sales” (selling borrowed securities which the seller hopes can be purchased at a lower price in the future) or “short sales against the box” (selling owned, but not delivered securities), “put” and “call” options (publicly available rights to sell or buy securities within a certain period of time at a specified price or the like), and other hedging transactions designed to minimize the risk inherent in owning IDEX stock, such as zero-cost collars and forward sales contracts.

Consistent with Section 954 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, and to the extent not in violation of any applicable law, IDEX reserves the right to recover from current and/or former key employees any wrongfully earned performance-based compensation, including stock-based awards, upon the determination by the Compensation Committee of the following:

(a) there is a restatement of Company financials, due to the material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirement,

(b) the cash incentive or equity compensation to be recouped was calculated on, or its realized value affected by, the financial results that were subsequently restated,

(c) the cash incentive or equity compensation would have been less valuable than what was actually awarded or paid based upon the application of the correct financial results, and

(d) the pay affected by the calculation was earned or awarded within three years of the determination of the necessary restatement

The Compensation Committee has exclusive authority to modify, interpret and enforce this provision in compliance with all regulations.

You acknowledge and consent to the collection, use, processing and transfer of personal data as described in this paragraph. The Company, its affiliates and your employer hold certain personal information, including your name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social security number or other employee tax identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any options awarded, cancelled, purchased, vested, unvested or outstanding in your favor, for the purpose of managing and

2013 – 8 PSU Agreement	Page 3	Revised: 02/07/2013

administering your Performance Units and Dividend Equivalents (“Data”). The Company and its affiliates will transfer Data to any third parties assisting the Company in the implementation, administration and management of your Performance Units and Dividend Equivalents. These recipients may be located in the European Economic Area, or elsewhere such as the United States. You authorize them to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing your Performance Units and Dividend Equivalents. You may, at any time, review Data, require any necessary amendments to it or withdraw the consent herein in writing by contacting the Company; however, withdrawing the consent may affect your ability to participate in the Plan and receive Dividend Equivalents or shares of Common Stock upon vesting in the Performance Units.

Your participation in the Plan is voluntary. The value of the Dividend Equivalents, Performance Units or shares of Common Stock received upon vesting in the Performance Units is extraordinary items of compensation outside the scope of your employment contract, if any. As such, the Dividend Equivalents, Performance Units and Common Stock received upon vesting of the Performance Units are not part of normal or expected compensation for purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pensions or retirement benefits or similar payments unless specifically and otherwise provided. Rather, the awarding of Dividend Equivalents and Performance Units represents a mere investment opportunity.

The Performance Units and Dividend Equivalents are granted under and governed by the terms and conditions of the Plan. You acknowledge and agree that the Plan is discretionary in nature and may be amended, cancelled, or terminated by the Company, in its sole discretion, at any time. The Plan has been introduced voluntarily by the Company and in accordance with the provisions of the Plan may be terminated by the Company at any time. The grant of the Performance Units and Dividend Equivalents are a one-time benefit and does not create any contractual or other right to receive a grant of Performance Units, dividend equivalents or benefits in lieu of Performance Units or dividend equivalents in the future. Future grants of Performance Units and Dividend Equivalents, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company, including, but not limited to, the timing of the grant, the number of units and vesting provisions. By execution of this Agreement, you consent to the provisions of the Plan and this Agreement.

All cash payments shall be made as determined by the Committee in either US dollars or the local currency applicable to your jurisdiction, after being converted from a US dollar equivalent based on the exchange rate selected by the Committee.

Schedule A

The number of Performance Units earned and vested will be determined as follows:

Earned Performance Units = Payout Percentage x Target Award

The Payout Percentage is based on IDEX’s percentile ranking of its TSR (as defined below) vs. the TSR of the companies in the S&P Midcap 400 Industrial Group with a GICS Sector Code = 20 - Industrials at the end of the Performance Period.

Performance Period: January 1, 2013-December 31, 2015

Performance Level	Performance Goal	Payout Percentage
Below Threshold	Achievement of Less than the 25th Percentile Performance	0%
Threshold	Achieve 25th Percentile Performance	33%
Target	Achieve 50th Percentile Performance	100%
High Achievement	Achieve 75th Percentile Performance	200%

Achievement between each performance level will be interpolated on a straight line basis rounded to the nearest whole number; provided that if the actual performance level achieved does not meet Threshold performance (i.e.: if performance is less than 25th Percentile) then no Performance Units will be earned. The maximum number of Performance Units that may be earned shall be 200% of the Target Award.

Notwithstanding the Payout Percentage indicated above, if IDEX’s TSR for the Performance Period is less than 1.00 (negative TSR), the Payout Percentage will not be greater than 100%, ( i.e. a TSR of 0.98 is equal to a -2.0% (absolute negative two percent).

“TSR” is calculated by dividing the Closing Average Share Value by the Opening Average Share Value at the end of the Performance Period and assuming that all applicable dividends are reinvested on the ex-dividend date. For this purpose:

• “Closing Average Share Value” means the average closing price of the Common Stock, for the 30 calendar days ending on the last day of the Performance Period (i.e.: December 2, 2015 to December 31, 2015)

• “Opening Average Share Value” means the average closing price of the Common Stock, for the 30 calendar days preceding the beginning of the Performance Period (i.e.: for Performance Period with a Beginning Date of January 1, 2013, the Opening Average Share Value would include the calendar days from December 2, 2012 to December 31, 2012)

Significant Accounting Policies

1. Significant Accounting Policies

Business

IDEX is an applied solutions company specializing in fluid and metering technologies, health and science technologies, and fire, safety and other diversified products built to its customers’ specifications. Its products are sold in niche markets to a wide range of industries throughout the world. The Company’s products include industrial pumps, compressors, flow meters, injectors and 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, precision photonic solutions, optical filters and specialty medical equipment and devices used in life science applications; precision-engineered equipment for dispensing, metering and mixing paints; refinishing equipment; and engineered products for industrial and commercial markets, including fire and rescue, transportation equipment, oil and gas, electronics, and communications. These activities are grouped into three reportable segments: Fluid & Metering Technologies, Health & Science Technologies and Fire & Safety/Diversified Products.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts 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. The principal areas of estimation reflected in the financial statements are revenue recognition, sales returns and allowances, allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory valuation, recoverability of long-lived assets, income taxes, product warranties, derivatives, contingencies and litigation, insurance-related items, impairment charges, share-based compensation, defined benefit retirement plans and purchase accounting related to acquisitions.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collectability of the sales price is reasonably assured. For product sales, delivery does not occur until the products have been shipped and risk of loss has been transferred to the customer. Revenue from services is recognized when the services are provided or ratably over the contract term. Some arrangements with customers may include multiple deliverables, including the combination of products and services. In such cases the Company has identified these as separate elements in accordance with ASC 605-25 and recognizes revenue consistent with the policy for each separate element based on the relative selling price method. Revenues from certain long-term contracts are recognized on the percentage-of-completion method. Percentage-of-completion is measured principally by the percentage of costs incurred to date for each contract to the estimated total costs for such contract at completion. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted long-term contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined. 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 in the near-term. Such revisions to costs and income are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined.

The Company records allowances for discounts, product returns and customer incentives 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 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.

Shipping and Handling Costs

Shipping and handling costs are included in cost of sales and are recognized as a period expense during the period in which they are incurred.

Advertising Costs

Advertising costs of $15.3 million, $13.4 million and $11.0 million for 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively, are expensed as incurred.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of 90 days or less to be cash and cash equivalents.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses as a result of customer’s inability to make required payments. Management evaluates the aging of the accounts receivable balances, the financial condition of its customers, historical trends and the time outstanding of specific balances to estimate the amount of accounts receivables that may not be collected in the future and records the appropriate provision.

Inventories

The Company states inventories at the lower of cost or market. Cost, which includes material, labor, and factory overhead, is determined on a FIFO basis. We make adjustments to reduce the cost of inventory to its net realizable value, if required, at the business unit level for estimated excess, obsolescence or impaired balances. Factors influencing these adjustments include changes in market demand, product life cycle and engineering changes.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment upon the occurrence of events or changes in circumstances that indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable, as measured by comparing their net book value to the projected undiscounted future cash flows generated by their use. Impaired assets are recorded at their estimated fair value using a discounted cash flow analysis.

Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets

In accordance with ASC 350, the Company reviews the carrying value of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets annually on October 31, or upon the occurrence of events or changes in circumstances that indicate that the carrying value of the goodwill or intangible assets may not be recoverable. The Company evaluates the recoverability of these assets based on the estimated fair value of each of the fifteen reporting units and the indefinite-lived intangible asset. See Note 4 for a further discussion on goodwill and intangible assets.

Borrowing Expenses

Expenses, inclusive of commissions and professional fees, incurred in securing and issuing debt are capitalized and included in Other noncurrent assets. These assets are amortized over the life of the related borrowing and the related amortization is included in Interest expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

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 and unvested shares (diluted) outstanding during the year. Common stock equivalents consist of stock options and deferred compensation units (“DCUs”) and have been included in the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding using the treasury stock method.

ASC 260 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 unvested shares are participating securities. Accordingly, earnings per common share were computed using the two-class method prescribed by ASC 260. Net income attributable to common shareholders was reduced by $0.1 million, $1.2 million and $1.4 million in 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

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

	2012		2011		2010
	(In thousands)
Basic weighted average common shares outstanding		82,689		82,145		80,466
Dilutive effect of stock options, DCUs and unvested shares		952		1,398		1,517
Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding		83,641		83,543		81,983

Options to purchase approximately 1.2 million, 0.7 million and 0.2 million shares of common stock in 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because the effect of their inclusion would have been antidilutive.

Share-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for share-based payments in accordance with ASC 718. Accordingly, the Company expenses the fair value of awards made under its share-based compensation plans. That cost is recognized in the consolidated financial statements over the requisite service period of the grants. See Note 13 for further discussion on share-based compensation.

Depreciation and Amortization

Property and equipment are stated at cost, with depreciation and amortization provided using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:

Land improvements	8 to 12 years
Buildings and improvements	8 to 30 years
Machinery, equipment and other	3 to 12 years
Office and transportation equipment	3 to 10 years

Certain identifiable intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives used in the computation of amortization of identifiable intangible assets are as follows:

Patents	5 to 17 years
Trade names	10 to 20 years
Customer relationships	3 to 20 years
Non-compete agreements	2 to 5 years
Unpatented technology and other	4 to 20 years

Research and Development Expenditures

Costs associated with research and development are expensed in the period incurred and are included in Cost of sales within the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Research and development expenses, which include costs associated with developing new products and major improvements to existing products, were $36.4 million, $36.0 million and $31.8 million in 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Foreign Currency Translation

The functional currency of substantially all operations outside the United States is the respective local currency. Accordingly, those foreign currency balance sheet accounts have been translated using the exchange rates in effect as of the balance sheet date. Income statement amounts have been translated using the average exchange rate for the year. The gains and losses resulting from changes in exchange rates from year to year have been reported in Accumulated other comprehensive loss in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The effect of transaction gains and losses is reported within Other income (expense)-net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Income Taxes

Income tax expense includes United States, state, local and international income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and the tax basis of existing assets and liabilities and for loss carryforwards. The tax rate used to determine the deferred tax assets and liabilities is the enacted tax rate for the year and manner in which the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are recorded to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that will more likely than not be realized.

Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company is not dependent on a single customer, the largest of which accounted for less than 2% of net sales for all years presented.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurement: Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS” (“ASU 2011-04”), which was issued to provide a consistent definition of fair value and ensure that the fair value measurement and disclosure requirements are similar between GAAP and IFRS. ASU 2011-04 changes certain fair value measurement principles and enhances the disclosure requirements particularly for Level 3 fair value measurements. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2012, and its adoption did not impact the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

In June 2011, FASB issued ASU 2011-05 “Presentation of Comprehensive Income.” ASU 2011-05 allows an entity to present components of net income and other comprehensive income in one continuous statement, referred to as the statement of comprehensive income, or in two separate, but consecutive statements. The new guidance eliminates the current option to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of changes in equity. While ASU 2011-05 changes the presentation of comprehensive income, there are no changes to the components that are recognized in net income or other comprehensive income under current accounting guidance. In December 2011, FASB issued ASU 2011-12 “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220); Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05.” ASU 2011-12 deferred certain aspects of ASU 2011-05. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company adopted ASU 2011-05 and the deferrals in ASU 2011-12 on January 1, 2012 and the adoption did not impact the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-02, “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment” (ASU 2012-02), which allows an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform a quantitative impairment test of an indefinite-lived intangible asset. Under ASU 2012-02, an entity would not be required to calculate the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset if the entity determines, based on qualitative assessment, that it is not more likely than not impaired. The revised standard is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012; however, early adoption is permitted. As of December 31, 2012, the Company did not elect to early adopt ASU 2012-02, however it is not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

Retirement Benefits

14. Retirement Benefits

The Company sponsors several qualified and nonqualified pension plans and other postretirement plans for its employees. The Company uses a measurement date of December 31 for its defined benefit pension plans and post retirement medical plans. The Company employs the measurement date provisions of ASC 715, “Compensation-Retirement Benefits”, which require the measurement date of plan assets and liabilities to coincide with the sponsor’s year end.

The following table provides a reconciliation of the changes in the benefit obligations and fair value of plan assets over the two-year period ended December 31, 2012, and a statement of the funded status at December 31 for both years.

The discount rates for our plans are derived by matching the plan’s cash flows to a yield curve that provides the equivalent yields on zero-coupon bonds for each maturity. The discount rate selected is the rate that produces the same present value of cash flows.

In selecting the expected rate of return on plan assets, the Company considers the historical returns and expected returns on plan assets. The expected returns are evaluated using asset return class, variance and correlation assumptions based on the plan’s target asset allocation and current market conditions.

Prior service costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the average remaining service period of active participants. Gains and losses in excess of 10% of the greater of the benefit obligation or the market value of assets are amortized over the average remaining service period of active participants.

Costs of defined contribution plans were $7.9 million, $7.8 million and $7.0 million for 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

The Company, through its subsidiaries, participates in certain multiemployer pension plans covering approximately 400 participants under U.S. collective bargaining agreements. None of these plans are considered individually significant to the Company as contributions to these plans totaled $1.0 million, $1.0 million, and $0.9 million for 2012, 2011, and 2010, respectively.

For measurement purposes, a 7.46% weighted average annual rate of increase in the per capita cost of covered health care benefits was assumed for 2012. The rate was assumed to decrease gradually each year to a rate of 4.49% for 2027, and remain at that level thereafter. Assumed health care cost trend rates have a significant effect on the amounts reported for the health care plans. A 1% increase in the assumed health care cost trend rates would increase the service and interest cost components of the net periodic benefit cost by $0.2 million and the health care component of the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation by $2.0 million. A 1% decrease in the assumed health care cost trend rate would decrease the service and interest cost components of the net periodic benefit cost by $0.2 million and the health care component of the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation by $1.7 million.

Plan Assets

The Company’s pension plan weighted average asset allocations at December 31, 2012 and 2011, by asset category, were as follows:

	2012			2011
Equity securities		68	%		65	%
Fixed income securities		32			35
Total		100	%		100	%

(1) Primarily funds invested by managers that have a global mandate with the flexibility to allocate capital broadly across a wide range of asset classes and strategies including, but not limited to equities, fixed income, commodities, interest rate futures, currencies and other securities to outperform an agreed benchmark with specific return and volatility targets.

(2) Primarily cash and cash equivalents.

Equities that are valued using quoted prices are valued at the published market prices. Equities in a common collective trust or a registered investment company that are valued using significant other observable inputs are valued at the net asset value (“NAV”) provided by the fund administrator. The NAV is based on value of the underlying assets owned by the fund minus its liabilities. Fixed income securities that are valued using significant other observable inputs are valued at prices obtained from independent financial service industry-recognized vendors.

Investment Policies and Strategies

The investment objectives of the Company’s plan assets are to earn the highest possible rate of return consistent with the tolerance for risk as determined periodically by the Company in its role as a fiduciary. The general guidelines of asset allocation of fund assets are that “equities” will represent from 55% to 75% of the market value of total fund assets with a target of 66%, and “fixed income” obligations, including cash, will represent from 25% to 45% with a target of 34%. The term “equities” includes common stock, convertible bonds and convertible stock. The term “fixed income” includes preferred stock and/or contractual payments with a specific maturity date. The Company strives to maintain asset allocations within the designated ranges by conducting periodic reviews of fund allocations and plan liquidity needs, and rebalancing the portfolio accordingly. The total fund performance is monitored and results measured using a 3- to 5-year moving average against long-term absolute and relative return objectives to meet actuarially determined forecasted benefit obligations. No restrictions are placed on the selection of individual investments by the qualified investment fund managers. The performance of the investment fund managers is reviewed on a regular basis, using appointed professional independent advisors. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, there were no shares of the Company’s stock held in plan assets.

Cash Flows

The Company expects to contribute approximately $7.0 million to its defined benefit plans and $0.9 million to its other postretirement benefit plans in 2013. The Company also expects to contribute approximately $8.6 million to its defined contribution plan and $7.0 million to its 401(k) savings plan in 2013.

Estimated Future Benefit Payments

The future estimated benefit payments for the next five years and the five years thereafter are as follows: 2013 — $12.8 million; 2014 — $10.2 million; 2015 — $9.8 million; 2016 — $9.9 million; 2017 — $10.4 million; 2018 to 2022 — $56.7 million

These activities are grouped into three reportable segments: Fluid & Metering Technologies, Health & Science Technologies and Fire & Safety/Diversified Products.

Principles of Consolidation

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated.

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts 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. The principal areas of estimation reflected in the financial statements are revenue recognition, sales returns and allowances, allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory valuation, recoverability of long-lived assets, income taxes, product warranties, derivatives, contingencies and litigation, insurance-related items, impairment charges, share-based compensation, defined benefit retirement plans and purchase accounting related to acquisitions.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collectability of the sales price is reasonably assured. For product sales, delivery does not occur until the products have been shipped and risk of loss has been transferred to the customer. Revenue from services is recognized when the services are provided or ratably over the contract term. Some arrangements with customers may include multiple deliverables, including the combination of products and services. In such cases the Company has identified these as separate elements in accordance with ASC 605-25 and recognizes revenue consistent with the policy for each separate element based on the relative selling price method. Revenues from certain long-term contracts are recognized on the percentage-of-completion method. Percentage-of-completion is measured principally by the percentage of costs incurred to date for each contract to the estimated total costs for such contract at completion. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted long-term contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined. 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 in the near-term. Such revisions to costs and income are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined.

The Company records allowances for discounts, product returns and customer incentives 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 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.

Shipping and Handling Costs

Shipping and Handling Costs

Shipping and handling costs are included in cost of sales and are recognized as a period expense during the period in which they are incurred.

Advertising Costs

Advertising Costs

Advertising costs of $15.3 million, $13.4 million and $11.0 million for 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively, are expensed as incurred.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of 90 days or less to be cash and cash equivalents.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses as a result of customer’s inability to make required payments. Management evaluates the aging of the accounts receivable balances, the financial condition of its customers, historical trends and the time outstanding of specific balances to estimate the amount of accounts receivables that may not be collected in the future and records the appropriate provision.

Inventories

Inventories

The Company states inventories at the lower of cost or market. Cost, which includes material, labor, and factory overhead, is determined on a FIFO basis. We make adjustments to reduce the cost of inventory to its net realizable value, if required, at the business unit level for estimated excess, obsolescence or impaired balances. Factors influencing these adjustments include changes in market demand, product life cycle and engineering changes.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment upon the occurrence of events or changes in circumstances that indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable, as measured by comparing their net book value to the projected undiscounted future cash flows generated by their use. Impaired assets are recorded at their estimated fair value using a discounted cash flow analysis.

Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets

Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets

In accordance with ASC 350, the Company reviews the carrying value of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets annually on October 31, or upon the occurrence of events or changes in circumstances that indicate that the carrying value of the goodwill or intangible assets may not be recoverable. The Company evaluates the recoverability of these assets based on the estimated fair value of each of the fifteen reporting units and the indefinite-lived intangible asset. See Note 4 for a further discussion on goodwill and intangible assets.

Borrowing Expenses

Borrowing Expenses

Expenses, inclusive of commissions and professional fees, incurred in securing and issuing debt are capitalized and included in Other noncurrent assets. These assets are amortized over the life of the related borrowing and the related amortization is included in Interest expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

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 and unvested shares (diluted) outstanding during the year. Common stock equivalents consist of stock options and deferred compensation units (“DCUs”) and have been included in the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding using the treasury stock method.

ASC 260 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 unvested shares are participating securities. Accordingly, earnings per common share were computed using the two-class method prescribed by ASC 260. Net income attributable to common shareholders was reduced by $0.1 million, $1.2 million and $1.4 million in 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

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

	2012		2011		2010
	(In thousands)
Basic weighted average common shares outstanding		82,689		82,145		80,466
Dilutive effect of stock options, DCUs and unvested shares		952		1,398		1,517
Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding		83,641		83,543		81,983

Options to purchase approximately 1.2 million, 0.7 million and 0.2 million shares of common stock in 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because the effect of their inclusion would have been antidilutive.

Share-Based Compensation

Share-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for share-based payments in accordance with ASC 718. Accordingly, the Company expenses the fair value of awards made under its share-based compensation plans. That cost is recognized in the consolidated financial statements over the requisite service period of the grants. See Note 13 for further discussion on share-based compensation.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and Amortization

Property and equipment are stated at cost, with depreciation and amortization provided using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:

Land improvements	8 to 12 years
Buildings and improvements	8 to 30 years
Machinery, equipment and other	3 to 12 years
Office and transportation equipment	3 to 10 years

Certain identifiable intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives used in the computation of amortization of identifiable intangible assets are as follows:

Patents	5 to 17 years
Trade names	10 to 20 years
Customer relationships	3 to 20 years
Non-compete agreements	2 to 5 years
Unpatented technology and other	4 to 20 years

Research and Development Expenditures

Research and Development Expenditures

Costs associated with research and development are expensed in the period incurred and are included in Cost of sales within the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Research and development expenses, which include costs associated with developing new products and major improvements to existing products, were $36.4 million, $36.0 million and $31.8 million in 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Foreign Currency Translation

Foreign Currency Translation

The functional currency of substantially all operations outside the United States is the respective local currency. Accordingly, those foreign currency balance sheet accounts have been translated using the exchange rates in effect as of the balance sheet date. Income statement amounts have been translated using the average exchange rate for the year. The gains and losses resulting from changes in exchange rates from year to year have been reported in Accumulated other comprehensive loss in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The effect of transaction gains and losses is reported within Other income (expense)-net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

Income tax expense includes United States, state, local and international income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and the tax basis of existing assets and liabilities and for loss carryforwards. The tax rate used to determine the deferred tax assets and liabilities is the enacted tax rate for the year and manner in which the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are recorded to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that will more likely than not be realized.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company is not dependent on a single customer, the largest of which accounted for less than 2% of net sales for all years presented.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurement: Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS” (“ASU 2011-04”), which was issued to provide a consistent definition of fair value and ensure that the fair value measurement and disclosure requirements are similar between GAAP and IFRS. ASU 2011-04 changes certain fair value measurement principles and enhances the disclosure requirements particularly for Level 3 fair value measurements. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2012, and its adoption did not impact the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

In June 2011, FASB issued ASU 2011-05 “Presentation of Comprehensive Income.” ASU 2011-05 allows an entity to present components of net income and other comprehensive income in one continuous statement, referred to as the statement of comprehensive income, or in two separate, but consecutive statements. The new guidance eliminates the current option to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of changes in equity. While ASU 2011-05 changes the presentation of comprehensive income, there are no changes to the components that are recognized in net income or other comprehensive income under current accounting guidance. In December 2011, FASB issued ASU 2011-12 “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220); Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05.” ASU 2011-12 deferred certain aspects of ASU 2011-05. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company adopted ASU 2011-05 and the deferrals in ASU 2011-12 on January 1, 2012 and the adoption did not impact the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

New Accounting Pronouncements

New Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-02, “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment” (ASU 2012-02), which allows an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform a quantitative impairment test of an indefinite-lived intangible asset. Under ASU 2012-02, an entity would not be required to calculate the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset if the entity determines, based on qualitative assessment, that it is not more likely than not impaired. The revised standard is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012; however, early adoption is permitted. As of December 31, 2012, the Company did not elect to early adopt ASU 2012-02, however it is not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

The Company has not provided an estimate for any U.S. or additional foreign taxes on undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries that might be payable if these earnings were repatriated since the Company considers these amounts to be permanently invested.

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits for 2012, 2011 and 2010 are shown in the following table:

	2012			2011			2010
	(In thousands)
Beginning balance January 1	$	5,548		$	6,440		$	5,285
Gross increases for tax positions of prior years		3,017			1,828			3,049

Lapse of statute of limitations		(1,961	)		(787	)		(702	)
Ending balance December 31	$	6,506		$	5,548		$	6,440

We recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. As of December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, we had approximately $0.7 million, $0.5 million and $0.8 million, respectively, of accrued interest related to uncertain tax positions. As of December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, we had approximately $0.5 million, $0.2 million and $0.4 million, respectively, of accrued penalties related to uncertain tax positions.

The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that would affect our effective tax rate if recognized is $5.8 million, $5.0 million and $5.8 million as of December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The tax years 2007-2011 remain open to examination by major taxing 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 12 months by a range of zero to $2.7 million.

The Company had net operating loss and credit carry forwards for U.S. federal purposes at December 31, 2012 and 2011 of $13.9 and $14.0 million, respectively. For non-U.S. purposes, the Company had net operating loss carry forwards at December 31, 2012 and 2011 of $7.8 and $12.4 million, respectively. The federal net operating loss carry forwards are available for use against the Company’s consolidated federal taxable income and expire between 2018 and 2031. The entire balance of the non-U.S. net operating losses are available to be carried forward, with $3.7 million of these losses beginning to expire during the years 2018 through 2021. The remaining $4.1 million of such losses can be carried forward indefinitely.

At December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company had a foreign capital loss carry forward of approximately $1.0 million and $1.1 million, respectively. The foreign capital loss can be carried forward indefinitely. At both December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company has a valuation allowance against the deferred tax asset attributable to the foreign capital loss of $0.2 million. At December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company had state net operating loss and credit carry forwards of approximately $38.8 million and $18.0 million, respectively. If unutilized, the state net operating loss will expire between 2019 and 2032. At December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company recorded a valuation allowance against the deferred tax asset attributable to the state net operating loss of $1.5 million and $0.3 million, respectively.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

4. Goodwill and Intangible Assets

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for 2012 and 2011, by business segment, were as follows:

	Fluid & Metering Technologies			Health & Science Technologies			Fire &  Safety/ Diversified Products			Total

Balance at December 31, 2012	$	524,325		$	553,204		$	244,198		$	1,321,727

(1) Revised to reflect the movement of the Dispensing Equipment segment to the Fire & Safety/Diversified Products segment and the transfer of $20.6 million of goodwill related to the movement of our Trebor business unit from the Health & Science Technologies segment to the Fluid & Metering Technologies segment.

ASC 350 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. Goodwill represents the purchase price in excess of the net amount assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

In prior periods, the Company disclosed certain reporting units for which the estimated fair value did not significantly exceed carrying value. Assumptions used in estimating fair value included successful execution of business forecasts and favorable market conditions. Consistent with the Company’s approach in its annual impairment testing, in assessing the fair value of the reporting units, the Company considered both the market approach and income approach. Under the market approach, the fair value of the reporting unit is based on comparing the reporting unit to comparable publicly traded companies. Under the income approach, the fair value of the reporting unit is based on the present value of estimated future cash flows. The income approach is dependent on a number of significant management assumptions including estimates of operating results, capital expenditures, other operating costs and discount rates. Weighting was equally attributed to both the market and income approaches (50% each) in arriving at the fair value of the reporting units. As a result of our annual impairment test for the IOP reporting unit and as a result of the reorganization of certain FMT reporting units, the Company determined that the fair value of the IOP and WST reporting units was less than the carrying value of the net assets of the reporting units, and thus the Company performed step two of the goodwill impairment test.

In step two of the goodwill impairment test, the Company determined the implied fair value of the goodwill and compared it to the carrying value, which resulted in a $149.8 million goodwill impairment charge at the IOP reporting unit and a $20.7 million goodwill impairment charge at the WST reporting unit.

The following table provides the gross carrying value and accumulated amortization for each major class of intangible asset at December 31, 2012 and 2011:

	At December 31, 2012									At December 31, 2011
	Gross Carrying Amount		Accumulated Amortization			Net		Weighted Average Life		Gross Carrying Amount		Accumulated Amortization			Net

Amortizable intangible assets:

Other		6,841		(3,604	)		3,237		10		6,793		(3,156	)		3,637
Total amortizable intangible assets		429,063		(149,791	)		279,272				387,740		(114,626	)		273,114
Unamortized intangible assets:
Banjo trade name		62,100		—			62,100				62,100		—			62,100
CVI Melles Griot trade name		—		—			—				47,008		—			47,008
Total intangible assets	$	491,163	$	(149,791	)	$	341,372			$	496,848	$	(114,626	)	$	382,222

The unamortized Banjo trade name and the CVI Melles Griot trade names were determined to be 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 asset might be impaired. Consistent with the Company’s approach in its annual impairment testing in assessing the fair value of the indefinite lived intangible assets, the Company used the relief-from-royalty method, a form of the income approach. The relief-from-royalty method is dependent of a number of significant management assumptions, including estimates of revenues, royalty rates and discount rates. As a result of our annual impairment test, the Company concluded that the fair value of the CVI Melles Griot trade names within the IOP reporting unit was less than the carrying value, resulting in a $21.0 million impairment charge. The Company also determined that the CVI Melles Griot trade names no longer had an indefinite life and reclassified the remaining $26.0 million to definite lived assets that will be amortized over a remaining useful life of 15 years.

A long-lived asset impairment exists when the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value. Assessments of possible impairments of long-lived assets are made when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable through future operations. The amount and timing of impairment charges for these assets require the estimation of future cash flows and the fair value of the related assets. Due to continued market softness in municpal end markets, the Company concluded that certain long lived assets within the WST reporting unit had a fair value that was less than the carrying value of the assets, resulting in a $7.0 million impairment charge.

Amortization of intangible assets was $41.5 million, $35.5 million and $25.7 million in 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Based on intangible asset balances as of December 31, 2012, amortization expense is expected to approximate $43.7 million in 2013, $41.6 million in 2014, $39.4 million in 2015, $37.5 million in 2016 and $28.4 million in 2017.

Fair Value Measurements

7. 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 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 sheet at December 31, 2012 and 2011:

	Basis of Fair Value Measurements
	Balance at December 31, 2012			Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
	(In thousands)
Money market investments	$	11,165		$	11,165		—		—
Available for sale securities		2,862			2,862		—		—
Contingent consideration		(9,043	)		—		—		(9,043	)

	Balance at December 31, 2011			Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
	(In thousands)
Money market investments	$	11,899		$	11,899		—		—
Available for sale securities		2,785			2,785		—		—
Contingent consideration		(3,000	)		—		—	$	(3,000	)

There were no transfers of assets or liabilities between Level 1 and Level 2 in 2012 or 2011.

In determining the fair value of the contingent consideration potentially due on the acquisition of Matcon, the Company used probability weighted estimates adjusted for the time value of money. The Matcon contingent consideration liability is valued at $9.0 million, of which $8.4 million was recorded as part of the purchase price as of the opening balance sheet date and the remaining $0.6 was recognized to SG&A in the fourth quarter of 2012. At December 31, 2012, $3.5 million of the contingent consideration is included in Accrued expenses and $5.5 million of contingent consideration is recorded in Noncurrent liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. In February 2012, the Company paid $1.5 million as contingent consideration for the AT Films acquisition. The remaining liability on the AT Films contingent consideration of $1.5 million was recognized as a benefit to SG&A in 2012, as the Company determined that the contingent consideration will not be earned.

The carrying value of our cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximates their fair values because of the short term nature of these instruments. At December 31, 2012, the fair value of our Revolving Facility, 2.58% Senior Euro Notes, 4.5% Senior Notes and 4.2% Senior Notes, based on quoted market prices and current market rates for debt with similar credit risk and maturity, was approximately $806.3 million compared to the carrying value of $775.9 million. This fair value measurement is classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy since it is 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.

On June 27, 2011, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), as borrowers (the “Borrowers”), with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, swing line lender and an issuer of letters of credit, and other lenders party thereto which provided for a new revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”). The Revolving Facility replaced the Company’s previous $600.0 million credit facility, which expired in December 2011.

The Revolving Facility is in an aggregate principal amount of $700.0 million with a maturity date of June 27, 2016. The maturity date may be extended under certain conditions for an additional one-year term prior to the second anniversary of the initial closing date of June 27, 2011. Up to $75.0 million of the Revolving Facility is available for the issuance of letters of credit. Additionally, up to $25.0 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 may not exceed $950.0 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. Under the Credit Agreement, Fast & Fluid Management Europe B.V., (“FME”) and IDEX UK Ltd. (“IDEX UK”) were approved by the lenders as designated borrowers. At December 31, 2012, FME and IDEX UK had no borrowings under the Revolving Facility.

Borrowings under the Revolving Facility bear interest, at either an alternate base rate or an adjusted LIBOR rate plus, an applicable margin. Such applicable margin is based on the Company’s senior, unsecured, long-term debt rating and can range from .875% to 1.70%. Based on the Company’s credit rating at December 31, 2012, the applicable margin was 1.05%. Interest is payable (a) in the case of base rate loans, quarterly, and (b) in the case of LIBOR rate loans, on the maturity date of the borrowing, or quarterly from the effective date for borrowings exceeding three months. An annual Revolving Facility fee, also based on the Company’s credit rating, is currently 20 basis points and is payable quarterly.

The Credit Agreement contains affirmative and negative covenants that the Company believes are usual and customary for senior unsecured credit agreements, including a financial covenant requiring the maintenance of a 3.25 to 1.0 or lower leverage ratio, which is the ratio of the Company’s consolidated total debt to its consolidated EBITDA, each as defined in the Credit Agreement.

The Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default (subject to grace periods, as appropriate) including among others: nonpayment of principal, interest or fees; breach of the representations or warranties in any material respect; breach of the financial, affirmative or negative covenants; payment default on, or acceleration of, other material indebtedness; bankruptcy or insolvency; material judgments entered against the Company or any of its subsidiaries; certain specified events under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended; certain changes in control of the Company; and the invalidity or unenforceability of the Credit Agreement or other documents associated with the Credit Agreement.

At December 31, 2012, $21.0 million was outstanding under the Revolving Facility, with $6.5 million of outstanding letters of credit, resulting in net available borrowing capacity under the Revolving Facility at December 31, 2012 of approximately $672.5 million.

On June 9, 2010, the Company completed a private placement of €81.0 million ($96.8 million) aggregate principal amount of 2.58% Series 2010 Senior Euro Notes due June 9, 2015 (“2.58% Senior Euro Notes”) pursuant to a Master Note Purchase Agreement, dated June 9, 2010 (the “Purchase Agreement”). The Purchase Agreement provides for the issuance of additional series of notes in the future, provided that the aggregate principal amount outstanding under the agreement at any time does not exceed $750.0 million. The 2.58% Senior Euro Notes bear interest at a rate of 2.58% per annum, which is payable semi-annually in arrears on each June 9th and December 9th and will mature on June 9, 2015. The 2.58% Senior Euro Notes are unsecured obligations of the Company and rank pari passu in right of payment with all of the Company’s other senior debt. The Company may at any time prepay all or any portion of the 2.58% Senior Euro Notes; provided that any such portion is greater than 5% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding under the Purchase Agreement. In the event of a prepayment, the Company would be required to pay an amount equal to par plus accrued interest plus a make-whole premium. The Purchase Agreement contains certain covenants that restrict the Company’s ability to, among other things, transfer or sell assets, create liens and engage in certain mergers or consolidations. In addition, the Company must comply with a leverage ratio and interest coverage ratio as set forth in the Purchase Agreement. 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 outstanding 2.58% Senior Euro Notes will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. In the case of payment events of defaults, any holder of the 2.58% Senior Euro Notes affected thereby may declare all the 2.58% Senior Euro Notes held by it due and payable immediately. In the case of any other event of default, a majority of the holders of the 2.58% Senior Euro Notes may declare all the 2.58% Senior Euro Notes to be due and payable immediately.

On December 6, 2010, the Company completed a public offering of $300.0 million 4.5% senior notes due December 15, 2020 (“4.5% Senior Notes”). The net proceeds from the offering of $295.7 million, after deducting a $1.6 million issuance discount, a $1.9 million underwriting commission and $0.8 million offering expenses, were used to repay $250.0 million of outstanding bank indebtedness, with the balance used for general corporate purposes. The 4.5% Senior Notes bear interest at a rate of 4.5% per annum, which is payable semi-annually in arrears on each June 15th and December 15th. The Company may redeem all or a portion of the 4.5% Senior Notes at any time prior to maturity at the redemption prices set forth in the Note Indenture governing the 4.5% Senior Notes. The Company may issue additional debt from time to time pursuant to the Indenture. The Indenture and 4.5% Senior Notes contain covenants that limit the Company’s ability to, among other things, incur certain liens securing indebtedness, engage in certain sale-leaseback transactions, and enter into certain consolidations, mergers, conveyances, transfers or leases of all or substantially all the Company’s assets. The terms of the 4.5% Senior Notes also require the Company to make an offer to repurchase the 4.5% Senior Notes upon a change of control triggering event (as defined in the Indenture) at a price equal to 101% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any.

On December 9, 2011, the Company completed a public offering of $350.0 million 4.2% senior notes due December 15, 2021 (“4.2% Senior Notes”). The net proceeds from the offering of $346.2 million, after deducting a $0.9 million issuance discount, a $2.3 million underwriting commission and $0.6 million offering expenses, were used to repay $306.0 million of outstanding bank indebtedness, with the balance used for general corporate purposes. The 4.2% Senior Notes bear interest at a rate of 4.2% per annum, which is payable semi-annually in arrears on each June 15th and December 15th. The Company may redeem all or a portion of the 4.2% Senior Notes at any time prior to maturity at the redemption prices set forth in the Note Indenture governing the 4.2% Senior Notes. The Company may issue additional debt from time to time pursuant to the Indenture. The Indenture and 4.2% Senior Notes contain covenants that limit the Company’s ability to, among other things, incur certain liens securing indebtedness, engage in certain sale-leaseback transactions, and enter into certain consolidations, mergers, conveyances, transfers or leases of all or substantially all the Company’s assets. The terms of the 4.2% Senior Notes also require the Company to make an offer to repurchase the 4.2% Senior Notes upon a change of control triggering event (as defined in the Indenture) at a price equal to 101% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any.

Other borrowings of $10.6 million at December 31, 2012 were comprised of capital leases, debt at international locations maintained for working capital purposes and international debt as a result of acquisitions. Interest is payable on the outstanding debt balances at the international locations at rates ranging from 0.4% to 3.7% per annum.

There are two key financial covenants that the Company is required to maintain in connection with the Revolving Facility and 2.58% Senior Euro Notes. The most restrictive financial covenants under these debt instruments require a minimum interest coverage ratio of 3.0 to 1 and a maximum leverage ratio of 3.25 to 1. At December 31, 2012, 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.

Derivative Instruments

6. Derivative Instruments

The Company enters into cash flow hedges to reduce the exposure to variability in certain expected future cash flows. The type of cash flow hedges the Company enters into includes foreign currency contracts and interest rate exchange agreements that effectively convert a portion of floating-rate debt to fixed-rate debt and are designed to reduce the impact of interest rate changes on future interest expense.

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 into net income during the period of change.

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.

As of December 31, 2012, the Company did not have any interest rate or foreign exchange contracts outstanding.

On April 15, 2010, the Company entered into a forward starting interest rate contract with a notional amount of $300.0 million with a settlement date in December 2010. This contract was entered into in anticipation of the issuance of the 4.5% Senior Notes and was designed to lock in the market interest rate as of April 15, 2010. In December 2010, the Company settled and paid this interest rate contract for $31.0 million. The $31.0 million is being amortized into interest expense over the 10 year term of the 4.5% Senior Notes, which results in an effective interest rate of 5.8%.

On July 12, 2011, the Company entered into a forward starting interest rate contract with a notional amount of $350.0 million and a settlement date of September 30, 2011. This contract was entered into in anticipation of the issuance of the 4.2% Senior Notes and was designed to lock in the market interest rate as of July 12, 2011. On September 29, 2011, the Company settled this interest rate contract for $34.7 million with a payment made on October 3, 2011. Simultaneously, the Company entered into a separate interest rate contract with a notional amount of $350.0 million and a settlement date of February 28, 2012. The contract was entered into in anticipation of the expected issuance of the 4.2% Senior Notes and was designed to maintain the market rate as of July 12, 2011. In December 2011, the Company settled and paid the September interest rate contract for $4.0 million, resulting in a total settlement of $38.7 million. Of the $38.7 million, $0.8 million was recognized as other expense in 2011 and the balance of $37.9 million is being amortized into interest expense over the 10 year term of the 4.2% Senior Notes, which results in an effective interest rate of 5.3%.

The following table summarizes the gain (loss) recognized and the amounts and location of income (expense) and gain (loss) reclassified into income for interest rate contracts and foreign currency contracts for the year ended December 31, 2012 and 2011:

	Loss Recognized in Other  Comprehensive Income					Income (Expense) and Gain (Loss) Reclassified into Income						Income Statement Caption

Share-Based Compensation

Share-Based Compensation

13. Share-Based Compensation

The Company maintains two share-based compensation plans for executives, non-employee directors, and certain key employees that authorize the granting of stock options, unvested shares, unvested share units, and other types of awards consistent with the purpose of the plans. The number of shares authorized for issuance under the Company’s plans as of December 31, 2012 totals 10.6 million, of which 3.4 million shares were available for future issuance. Stock options granted under these plans are generally non-qualified, and are granted with an exercise price equal to the market price of the Company’s stock at the date of grant. The majority of the options issued to employees become exercisable in four equal installments, beginning one year from the date of grant, and generally expire 10 years from the date of grant. Stock options granted to non-employee directors cliff vest after one year. Unvested share and unvested share unit awards generally cliff vest after three years for employees and non-employee directors. The Company issued 230,975, 341,876 and 264,915 of unvested shares as compensation to key employees in 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

All unvested shares carry dividend and voting rights, and the sale of the shares is restricted prior to the date of vesting.

The Company accounts for share-based payments in accordance with ASC 718. Accordingly, the Company expenses the fair value of awards made under its share-based plans. That cost is recognized in the consolidated financial statements over the requisite service period of the grants.

Weighted average option fair values and assumptions for the period specified are disclosed in the following table:

	Years Ended December 31,
	2012	2011	2010
Weighted average fair value of grants	$11.40	$12.30	$ 9.56
Dividend yield	1.59%	1.46%	1.51%
Volatility	32.00%	32.72%	33.43%
Risk-free interest rate	0.17% - 3.96%	0.28% - 5.61%	0.32% - 5.67%
Expected life (in years)	5.98	6.14	5.98

The assumptions are as follows:

• The Company estimated volatility using its historical share price performance over the contractual term of the option.

• The Company uses historical data to estimate the expected life of the option. The expected life assumption for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 is an output of the Binomial lattice option-pricing model, which incorporates vesting provisions, rate of voluntary exercise and rate of post-vesting termination over the contractual life of the option to define expected employee behavior.

• The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for periods within the contractual life of the option. For the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, we present the range of risk-free one-year forward rates, derived from the U.S. treasury yield curve, utilized in the Binomial lattice option-pricing model.

• The expected dividend yield is based on the Company’s current dividend yield as the best estimate of projected dividend yield for periods within the contractual life of the option.

The Company’s policy is to recognize compensation cost on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award. Additionally, the Company’s general policy is to issue new shares of common stock to satisfy stock option exercises or grants of unvested shares.

Total compensation cost for stock options is as follows:

	Years Ended December 31,
	2012			2011			2010
	(In thousands)
Cost of goods sold	$	650		$	805		$	804

Total expense after income taxes	$	5,128		$	3,291		$	7,534

(1) Reflects the forfeiture of unvested shares related to the Company’s transition to a new CEO in August 2011.

Recognition of compensation cost was consistent with recognition of cash compensation for the same employees. Compensation cost capitalized as part of inventory was immaterial.

As of December 31, 2012, there was $8.3 million and $9.4 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options and unvested shares, respectively, that is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.4 years and 1.0 years, respectively.

A summary of the Company’s stock option activity as of December 31, 2012, and changes during the year ended December 31, 2012 is presented in the following table:

Stock Options	Shares			Weighted Average Price		Weighted-Average Remaining Contractual Term		Aggregate Intrinsic Value
Outstanding at January 1, 2012		4,314,044		$	29.61		7.01	$	34,899,200
Granted		764,700			42.66
Exercised		(1,631,923	)		27.77
Forfeited/Expired		(223,079	)		36.60
Outstanding at December 31, 2012		3,223,742		$	33.16		6.37	$	43,106,153
Vested and expected to vest at December 31, 2012		3,100,929		$	32.86		6.28	$	42,398,877
Exercisable at December 31, 2012		1,780,761		$	29.00		4.82	$	31,219,847

The intrinsic value for stock options outstanding and exercisable is defined as the difference between the market value of the Company’s common stock as of the end of the period, and the grant price. The total intrinsic value of options exercised in 2012, 2011 and 2010, was $23.5 million, $21.9 million and $14.4 million, respectively. In 2012, 2011 and 2010, cash received from options exercised was $45.8 million, $33.1 million and $18.1 million, respectively, while the actual tax benefit realized for the tax deductions from stock options exercised totaled $8.6 million, $8.0 million and $5.2 million, respectively.

A summary of the Company’s unvested share activity as of December 31, 2012, and changes during the year ending December 31, 2012 is presented in the following table:

Unvested Shares	Shares			Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value
Nonvested at January 1, 2012		613,375		$	32.44
Granted		230,975			43.56
Vested		(166,134	)		22.00
Forfeited		(88,230	)		38.61
Nonvested at December 31, 2012		589,986		$	40.27

Unvested share grants accrue dividends and their fair value is equal to the market price of the Company’s stock at the date of the grant.

As of 2011, the Company also maintains a share based compensation plan for non-executives. Total expense related to this plan was $2.3 million and $0.8 million in 2012 and 2011, respectively. At December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company has $2.0 million and $0.8 million, respectively, included in Accrued expenses in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and $1.0 million included in Other non-current liabilities at December 31, 2012.

Restructuring

2. Restructuring

During 2012, 2011 and 2010, the Company recorded restructuring costs as a part of the 2011 and 2009 restructuring 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. The costs incurred related to these initiatives are included in Restructuring expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations while the related accruals are included in Accrued expenses in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Severance costs primarily consist of severance benefits through payroll continuation, COBRA subsidies, outplacement services, conditional separation costs and employer tax liabilities, while exit costs primarily consist of asset disposals or impairments, the termination of a defined benefit plan, legal costs and relocation charges.

2011 Initiatives

During 2012 and 2011, the Company recorded pre-tax restructuring expenses totaling $32.5 million and $12.3 million, respectively, related to our 2011 restructuring initiative for exit costs and employee severance related to employee reductions across various functional areas as well as facility rationalization. The 2011 restructuring initiatives included severance benefits for 491 employees in 2012 and 292 employees in 2011. The 2011 initiative was completed by the end of 2012 and no further restructuring is currently planned. Severance payments are expected to be fully paid in the next 12 months using cash from operations.

2009 Initiatives

During 2010, the Company recorded $11.1 million of pre-tax restructuring expenses related to our 2009 restructuring initiative for employee severance related to employee reductions across various functional areas as well as facility closures resulting from the Company’s cost savings initiatives. The 2009 restructuring initiative included severance benefits for over 700 employees. The 2009 initiatives were substantially complete by the end of 2010, with restructuring charges totaling $23.2 million for the program.
