1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are unaudited. AMETEK, Inc. (the “Company”) believes that all adjustments (which primarily consist of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial position of the Company at June 30, 2022, the consolidated results of its operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 and its cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 have been included. Quarterly results of operations are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. The accompanying consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes presented in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncement
In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers ("ASU 2021-08"), which provides a single comprehensive accounting model for the acquisition of contract balances under ASC 805. ASU 2021-08 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. Early adoption is permitted. The Company early adopted the ASU on January 1, 2022, and the amendments in this ASU were applied on a prospective basis to all periods presented. The adoption of ASU 2021-08 did not impact the Company's consolidated results of operations, financial position, cash flows, or financial statement disclosures.
3. Revenues
The outstanding contract asset and liability accounts were as follows:
| 2022 | 2021 | ||||||||||
(In thousands) | |||||||||||
| Contract assets—January 1 | $ | 95,274 | $ | 68,971 | |||||||
| Contract assets – June 30 | 107,902 | 73,853 | |||||||||
| Change in contract assets – increase (decrease) | 12,628 | 4,882 | |||||||||
| Contract liabilities – January 1 | 328,816 | 215,093 | |||||||||
| Contract liabilities – June 30 | 369,926 | 333,409 | |||||||||
| Change in contract liabilities – (increase) decrease | (41,110) | (118,316) | |||||||||
| Net change | $ | (28,482) | $ | (113,434) | |||||||
The net change for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was primarily driven by contract liabilities, specifically broad-based growth in advance payments from customers. For the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company recognized revenue of $219.3 million and $145.2 million, respectively, that was previously included in the beginning balance of contract liabilities.
Contract assets are reported as a component of Other current assets in the consolidated balance sheet. At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, $42.4 million and $30.1 million of Customer advanced payments (contract liabilities), respectively, were recorded in Other long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.
The remaining performance obligations not expected to be completed within one year as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 were $422.1 million and $342.5 million, respectively. Remaining performance obligations represent the transaction price of firm, non-cancelable orders, with expected delivery dates to customers greater than one year from the balance sheet date, for which the performance obligation is unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied. These performance obligations will be substantially satisfied within to three years.

Product Warranties
The Company provides limited warranties in connection with the sale of its products. The warranty periods for products sold vary among the Company’s operations, but the majority do not exceed one year. The Company calculates its warranty expense provision based on its historical warranty experience and adjustments are made periodically to reflect actual warranty expenses. Product warranty obligations are reported as a component of Accrued liabilities and other in the consolidated balance sheet.
Changes in the accrued product warranty obligation were as follows:

| Balance at the end of the period | $ | 25,966 | $ | 29,352 | |||||||
Accounts Receivable
The Company maintains allowances for estimated losses resulting from the inability of customers to meet their financial obligations to the Company. The Company recognizes an allowance for credit losses, on all accounts receivable and contract assets, which considers risk of future credit losses based on factors such as historical experience, contract terms, as well as general and market business conditions, country, and political risk. Balances are written off when determined to be uncollectible.
At June 30, 2022, the Company had $885.1 million of accounts receivable, net of allowances of $11.2 million. Changes in the allowance were not material for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.
4. Earnings Per Share
The calculation of basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares considered outstanding during the periods. The calculation of diluted earnings per share reflects the effect of all potentially dilutive securities (principally outstanding stock options and restricted stock grants). Securities that are anti-dilutive have been excluded and are not significant. The number of weighted average shares used in the calculation of basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share was as follows:

5. Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.
The Company utilizes a valuation hierarchy for disclosure of the inputs to the valuations used to measure fair value. This hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels as follows. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active
11
markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs based on the Company’s own assumptions used to measure assets and liabilities at fair value. A financial asset or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The following table provides the Company’s assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, consistent with the fair value hierarchy, at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021:
| June 30, 2022 | December 31, 2021 | ||||||||||
Fair Value | Fair Value | ||||||||||
(In thousands) | |||||||||||
| Mutual fund investments | $ | 11,365 | $ | 10,703 | |||||||
The fair value of mutual fund investments, which are valued as level 1 investments, was based on quoted market prices. The mutual fund investments are shown as a component of investments and other assets on the consolidated balance sheet.
For the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, gains and losses on the investments noted above were not significant. No transfers between level 1 and level 2 investments occurred during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.
Financial Instruments
Cash, cash equivalents and mutual fund investments are recorded at fair value at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.
The following table provides the estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instrument liabilities, for which fair value is measured for disclosure purposes only, compared to the recorded amounts at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021:
| June 30, 2022 | December 31, 2021 | ||||||||||||||||||||||

The fair value of net short-term borrowings approximates the carrying value. Net short-term borrowings are valued as level 2 liabilities as they are corroborated by observable market data. The Company’s net long-term debt is all privately held with no public market for this debt, therefore, the fair value of net long-term debt was computed based on comparable current market data for similar debt instruments and is considered a level 3 liability.
Foreign Currency
At June 30, 2022, the Company had a Euro forward contract for a total notional value of 40.0 million Euros and a Canadian dollar forward contract for a notional value of 8.0 million Canadian dollars. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, realized and unrealized gains and losses on the foreign currency forward contracts were not significant.
6. Hedging Activities
The Company has designated certain foreign-currency-denominated long-term borrowings as hedges of the net investment in certain foreign operations. As of June 30, 2022, these net investment hedges included British-pound-and Euro-denominated long-term debt. These borrowings were designed to create net investment hedges in certain designated foreign subsidiaries. The Company designated the British-pound- and Euro-denominated loans referred to above as hedging instruments to offset translation gains or losses on the net investment due to changes in the British pound and Euro exchange rates. These net investment hedges are evidenced by management’s contemporaneous documentation supporting the hedge designation. Any gain or loss on the hedging instruments (the debt) following hedge designation is reported in
12
accumulated other comprehensive income in the same manner as the translation adjustment on the hedged investment based on changes in the spot rate, which is used to measure hedge effectiveness.
At June 30, 2022, the Company had $273.6 million of British-pound-denominated loans, which were designated as a hedge against the net investment in British pound functional currency foreign subsidiaries. At June 30, 2022, the Company had $559.9 million in Euro-denominated loans, which were designated as a hedge against the net investment in Euro functional currency foreign subsidiaries. As a result of the British-pound- and Euro-denominated loans designated and 100% effective as net investment hedges, $79.8 million of pre-tax currency remeasurement gains have been included in the foreign currency translation component of other comprehensive income for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

8. Leases
The Company has commitments under operating leases for certain facilities, vehicles and equipment used in its operations. Cash used in operations for operating leases was not materially different from operating lease expense for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. The Company's leases have initial lease terms ranging from four months to 16 years. Certain lease agreements contain provisions for future rent increases.
The components of lease expense were as follows:

The Company finalized its measurements of certain tangible and intangible assets and liabilities for its November 2021 acquisition of Alphasense, which had no material impact to the consolidated statement of income and balance sheet.
10. Income Taxes
At June 30, 2022, the Company had gross uncertain tax benefits of $161.2 million, of which $118.7 million, if recognized, would impact the effective tax rate.
The following is a reconciliation of the liability for uncertain tax positions (in millions):
| Balance at December 31, 2021 | $ | 147.0 | |||
| Additions for tax positions | 14.6 | ||||
| Reductions for tax positions | (0.4) | ||||
| Balance at June 30, 2022 | $ | 161.2 | |||
The additions above primarily reflect the tax positions for foreign tax planning initiatives. The Company recognizes interest and penalties accrued related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. The amounts recognized in income tax expense for interest and penalties during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 were not significant.
The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was 18.5%, compared with 20.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The lower effective tax rate in the second quarter of 2022 is primarily due to improved foreign-derived intangible income ("FDII") benefits on exported products and favorable foreign deferred taxes. The higher effective tax rate in 2021 included an increase in the foreign rate differential and the remeasurement of the deferred tax liabilities due to an increase in the UK tax rate in 2021.

11. Debt
On May 12, 2022, the Company along with certain of its foreign subsidiaries amended and restated its credit agreement dated as of September 22, 2011, as amended and restated as of March 10, 2016 and as further amended and restated as of October 30, 2018, with the lenders, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent and Bank of America, N.A., PNC Bank, National Association, Trust Bank and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Co-Syndication Agents. The credit agreement amends and restates the Company’s existing revolving credit facility to increase the size from $1.5 billion to $2.3 billion and terminates the $800 million term loan. The credit agreement places certain restrictions on allowable additional indebtedness. At June 30, 2022, the Company had $360.0 million outstanding on the revolver with a maturity date of May 2027.
12. Share-Based Compensation
The Company's share-based compensation plans are described in Note 11, Share-Based Compensation, to the consolidated financial statements in Part II, Item 8, filed on the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

The aggregate intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $18.3 million. The total fair value of stock options vested during the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $11.2 million. As of June 30, 2022, there was approximately $24.3 million of expected future pre-tax compensation expense related to the 1.2 million non-vested stock options outstanding, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately two years.

The total fair value of restricted stock vested during the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $13.3 million. As of June 30, 2022, there was approximately $37.9 million of expected future pre-tax compensation expense related to the 0.4 million non-vested restricted shares outstanding, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately two years.
Performance Restricted Stock Units
In March 2022, the Company granted performance restricted stock units ("PRSU") to officers and certain key management-level employees. The PRSUs vest over a period up to three years from the grant date based on continuous service, with the number of shares earned (0% to 200% of the target award) depending upon the extent to which the Company achieves certain financial and market performance targets measured over the period from January 1 of the year of grant to December 31 of the third year. Half of the PRSUs were valued in a manner similar to restricted stock as the financial targets are based on the Company’s operating results, which represents a performance condition. The grant date fair value of these PRSUs are recognized as compensation expense over the vesting period based on the probable number of awards to vest at each reporting date.
The other half of the PRSUs were valued using a Monte Carlo model as the performance target is related to the Company’s total shareholder return compared to a group of peer companies, which represents a market condition. The Company recognizes the grant date fair value of these awards as compensation expense ratably over the vesting period.

14. Contingencies
Asbestos Litigation
The Company (including its subsidiaries) has been named as a defendant in a number of asbestos-related lawsuits. Certain of these lawsuits relate to a business which was acquired by the Company and do not involve products which were manufactured or sold by the Company. In connection with these lawsuits, the seller of such business has agreed to indemnify the Company against these claims (the “Indemnified Claims”). The Indemnified Claims have been tendered to, and are being defended by, such seller. The seller has met its obligations, in all respects, and the Company does not have any reason to believe such party would fail to fulfill its obligations in the future. To date, no judgments have been rendered against the Company as a result of any asbestos-related lawsuit. The Company believes that it has good and valid defenses to each of these claims and intends to defend them vigorously.
Environmental Matters
Certain historic processes in the manufacture of products have resulted in environmentally hazardous waste by-products as defined by federal and state laws and regulations. At June 30, 2022, the Company is named a Potentially Responsible Party (“PRP”) at 13 non-AMETEK-owned former waste disposal or treatment sites (the “non-owned” sites). The Company is identified as a “de minimis” party in 12 of these sites based on the low volume of waste attributed to the Company relative to the amounts attributed to other named PRPs. In eight of these sites, the Company has reached a tentative agreement on the cost of the de minimis settlement to satisfy its obligation and is awaiting executed agreements. The tentatively agreed-to settlement amounts are fully reserved. In the other four sites, the Company is continuing to investigate the accuracy of the alleged volume attributed to the Company as estimated by the parties primarily responsible for remedial activity at the sites to establish an appropriate settlement amount. At the remaining site where the Company is a non-de minimis PRP, the Company is participating in the investigation and/or related required remediation as part of a PRP Group and reserves have been established to satisfy the Company’s expected obligations. The Company historically has resolved these issues within established reserve levels and reasonably expects this result will continue. In addition to these non-owned sites, the Company has an ongoing practice of providing reserves for probable remediation activities at certain of its current or previously owned manufacturing locations (the “owned” sites). For claims and proceedings against the Company with respect to other environmental matters, reserves are established once the Company has determined that a loss is probable and estimable. This estimate is refined as the Company moves through the various stages of investigation, risk assessment, feasibility study and corrective action processes. In certain instances, the Company has developed a range of estimates for such costs and has recorded a liability based on the best estimate. It is reasonably possible that the actual cost of remediation of the individual sites could vary from the current estimates and the amounts accrued in the consolidated financial statements; however, the amounts of such variances are not expected to result in a material change to the consolidated financial statements. In estimating the Company’s liability for remediation, the Company also considers the likely proportionate share of the anticipated remediation expense and the ability of the other PRPs to fulfill their obligations.
Total environmental reserves at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 were $37.6 million and $37.2 million, respectively, for both non-owned and owned sites. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recorded $4.5 million in reserves. Additionally, the Company spent $4.1 million on environmental matters for the six months ended June 30, 2022.
The Company has agreements with other former owners of certain of its acquired businesses, as well as new owners of previously owned businesses. Under certain of the agreements, the former or new owners retained, or assumed and agreed to indemnify the Company against, certain environmental and other liabilities under certain circumstances. The Company and some of these other parties also carry insurance coverage for some environmental matters.
The Company believes it has established reserves for the environmental matters described above, which are sufficient to perform all known responsibilities under existing claims and consent orders. In the opinion of management, based on presently available information and the Company’s historical experience related to such matters, an adequate provision for probable costs has been made and the ultimate cost resulting from these actions is not expected to materially affect the consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows of the Company.

Recent Events and Market Conditions
Recent events and market conditions impacting our business include the COVID-19 pandemic, increased material and transportation cost inflation, supply chain constraints, and the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. As a result of these events and conditions, we anticipate a challenging global economic environment for the remainder of 2022. There still remains uncertainty around the COVID-19 pandemic, its effect on labor, government mandated lockdowns and other restrictive measures, and the pandemic's ultimate duration. The recent lockdowns in China limited our ability to access customer sites, operate certain facilities, and placed additional constraints on our supply chain during the second quarter. Depending on the course of the pandemic, additional lockdowns in China or elsewhere could impact our operations and results of operations. Beginning in 2021, we experienced heightened levels of inflation in material and transportation costs and we expect elevated levels of cost inflation to persist throughout 2022. We have taken steps to mitigate the impacts of inflation by implementing pricing actions. We experienced additional pressure in our supply chain due to component shortages and strained transportation capacity, as well as the impact of continued elevated customer demand. In response to these supply chain pressures, we have taken actions to build inventory and seek alternative sources of supply to support sales and backlog growth. The invasion of Ukraine by Russia and the sanctions imposed in response to this conflict have increased global economic and political uncertainty. Russia and Ukraine represent an insignificant portion of our business, but a significant expansion of the conflict's current scope could further complicate the economic environment. While the ultimate impact of these events remains uncertain, we will continue to evaluate the extent to which these factors will impact our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Results of operations for the second quarter of 2022 compared with the second quarter of 2021
For the quarter ended June 30, 2022, the Company posted record sales, operating income, and backlog as well as strong orders. The Company achieved these results from organic sales growth in both EIG and EMG, as well as the Company's Operational Excellence initiatives.
Net sales for the second quarter of 2022 were a record $1,514.6 million, an increase of $128.3 million or 9.2%, compared with net sales of $1,386.3 million for the second quarter of 2021. The increase in net sales for the second quarter of 2022 was due to a 12% increase in organic sales, a 1% increase from acquisitions, partially offset by an unfavorable 3% effect of foreign currency translation.
Total international sales for the second quarter of 2022 were $721.4 million or 47.6% of net sales, an increase of $55.7 million or 8.4%, compared with international sales of $665.7 million or 48.0% of net sales for the second quarter of 2021. The increase in international sales was primarily driven by strong demand in Asia during the quarter as well as contributions from recent acquisitions.

Orders for the second quarter of 2022 were $1,644.5 million, a decrease of $269.2 million or 14.1%, compared with $1,913.7 million for the second quarter of 2021. The decrease in orders for the second quarter of 2022 was due to a 20% decrease from $371 million of acquired backlog from the 2021 acquisitions, an unfavorable 5% effect of foreign currency translation, partially offset by an 11% increase in organic orders. As a result, the Company's backlog of unfilled orders at June 30, 2022 was a record $3,104.4 million, an increase of $374.3 million or 13.7% compared with $2,730.1 million at December 31, 2021.
Segment operating income for the second quarter of 2022 was $389.5 million, an increase of $50.4 million or 14.9%, compared with segment operating income of $339.1 million for the second quarter of 2021. Segment operating income was positively impacted in 2022 by the increase in sales discussed above. Segment operating margins, as a percentage of net sales, increased to 25.7% for the second quarter of 2022, compared with 24.5% for the second quarter of 2021. Excluding the dilutive impact of the 2021 acquisitions, segment operating margins for the core businesses increased 130 basis points compared to the second quarter of 2021, due to benefits from the Company's Operational Excellence initiatives.
Cost of sales for the second quarter of 2022 was $988.2 million or 65.2% of net sales, an increase of $75.5 million or 8.3%, compared with $912.7 million or 65.8% of net sales for the second quarter of 2021. The cost of sales increase was primarily due to the net sales increase discussed above.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the second quarter of 2022 were $161.5 million or 10.7% of net sales, an increase of $4.5 million or 2.9%, compared with $157.0 million or 11.3% of net sales for the second quarter of 2021.
Consolidated operating income was a record $364.8 million or 24.1% of net sales for the second quarter of 2022, an increase of $48.2 million or 15.2%, compared with $316.6 million or 22.8% of net sales for the second quarter of 2021.
Other income, net was $2.0 million for the second quarter of 2022, compared with $4.4 million of other expense, net for the second quarter of 2021, a change of $6.4 million. The second quarter of 2022 includes higher pension income of $2.5 million and lower due diligence expense compared to the second quarter of 2021.
The effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2022 was 18.5%, compared with 20.6% for the second quarter of 2021. The lower effective tax rate in the second quarter of 2022 is primarily due to improved foreign-derived intangible income ("FDII") benefits on exported products and favorable foreign deferred taxes.
Net income for the second quarter of 2022 was a record $282.4 million, an increase of $50.7 million or 21.9%, compared with $231.7 million for the second quarter of 2021.
Diluted earnings per share for the second quarter of 2022 were $1.22, an increase of $0.22 or 22.0%, compared with $1.00 per diluted share for the second quarter of 2021.
