1. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of IDEX Corporation (“IDEX” or the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The statements are unaudited but include all adjustments, consisting only of recurring items, except as noted, that the Company considers necessary for a fair presentation of the information set forth herein. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year.

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-09 which introduces a new five-step revenue recognition model. Under ASU 2014-09 an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This ASU also requires disclosures sufficient to enable users to understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers, including qualitative and quantitative disclosures about contracts with customers, significant judgments and changes in judgments, and assets recognized from the costs to obtain or fulfill a contract. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, using either of the following transition methods: (i) a full retrospective approach reflecting the application of the standard in each prior reporting period with the option to elect certain practical expedients, or (ii) a retrospective approach with the cumulative effect of initially adopting ASU 2014-09 recognized at the date of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance on our consolidated financial statements and have not yet determined the method by which we will adopt the standard in 2017.

2. Acquisitions

All of the Company’s acquisitions have been accounted for under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, Business Combinations. Accordingly, the accounts of the acquired companies, after adjustments to reflect fair values assigned to assets and liabilities, have been included in the consolidated financial statements from their respective dates of acquisition.

2014 Acquisitions

On April 28, 2014, the Company acquired the stock of Aegis Flow Technologies ("Aegis"), a leader in the design, manufacture and sale of specialty chemical processing valves for use in the chemical, petro-chemical, chlor-alkali, pharmaceutical, semiconductor and pulp/paper industries. Located in Geismar, Louisiana, Aegis has annual revenue of approximately $15.0 million and will operate in our Chemical, Food & Process platform within our Fluid & Metering Technologies segment. Aegis was acquired for cash consideration of approximately $26 million. The entire purchase price was funded with borrowings under the Company's revolving credit facility. Goodwill and intangible assets recognized as part of this transaction were $8.8 million and $8.8 million, respectively. The $8.8 million of goodwill is deductible for tax purposes.

The purchase price for Aegis has been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on estimated fair values at the date of the acquisition. These nonrecurring fair value measurements are classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. The Company is continuing to evaluate the initial purchase price allocations, as of the acquisition date, which will be adjusted as additional information relative to the fair values of the assets and liabilities of the business becomes known. Accordingly, management has used its best estimate in the initial purchase price allocation as of the date of these financial statements.

	Total		Weighted Average Life
Trade names	$	3,304	15
Customer relationships	4,393		14
Unpatented technology	1,073		8
Acquired intangible assets	$	8,770

The Company incurred $0.9 million of acquisition-related transaction costs in the six months ended June 30, 2014. These costs were recorded in selling, general and administrative expense and were related to completed transactions, pending transactions and potential transactions, including transactions that ultimately were not completed. The Company incurred $0.5 million of non-cash acquisition fair value inventory charges in the six months ended June 30, 2014. These charges were recorded in cost of sales.

2013 Acquisitions

On March 18, 2013, the Company acquired the assets of FTL Seals Technology, Ltd (“FTL”). FTL specializes in the design and application of high integrity rotary seals, specialty bearings, and other custom products for the oil & gas, mining, power generation, and marine markets. Located in Leeds, England, FTL, along with Precision Polymer Engineering (“PPE”), operates within the Health & Science Technologies segment as part of the Sealing Solutions group and will expand the range of PPE’s technology expertise and markets served. FTL was acquired for an aggregate purchase price of $34.5 million (£23.1 million) in cash. The entire purchase price was funded with borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit facility. Goodwill and intangible assets recognized as part of this transaction were $18.0 million and $13.0 million, respectively. The $18.0 million of goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes.

3. Business Segments

4. Earnings Per Common Share

Earnings per common share (“EPS”) are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock (basic) plus common stock equivalents outstanding (diluted) during the period. Common stock equivalents consist of stock options, which have been included in the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding using the treasury stock method, unvested shares, performance share units, and shares issuable in connection with certain deferred compensation agreements (“DCUs”).

ASC 260 “Earnings Per Share” provides 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 are computed using the more dilutive of the treasury stock method and the two-class method prescribed by ASC 260. For the purposes of calculating diluted EPS, net income attributable to common shareholders was reduced by $0.2 million and $0 for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively; and $0.7 million and $0.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

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



	Three Months Ended June 30,		Six Months Ended June 30,
	2014	2013	2014	2013
Basic weighted average common shares outstanding	80,106	81,829	80,317	82,013
Dilutive effect of stock options, unvested shares, performance share units and DCUs	1,043	905	1,045	930
Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding	81,149	82,734	81,362	82,943

Options to purchase approximately 0.5 million and 0.6 million shares of common stock for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because the effect of their inclusion would be antidilutive.

5. Inventories

The components of inventories as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 were:



	June 30, 2014		December 31, 2013
Raw materials and component parts	$	145,467	$	133,470

6. Goodwill and Intangible Assets

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the six months ended June 30, 2014, by reportable business segment, were as follows:



	Fluid & Metering Technologies			Health & Science Technologies		Fire & Safety/ Diversified Products			Total
Balance at December 31, 2013	$	528,044		$	571,675	$	249,737		$	1,349,456
Foreign currency translation	(557		)	6,808		(759		)	5,492
Acquisitions	8,805			—		—			8,805
Balance at June 30, 2014	$	536,292		$	578,483	$	248,978		$	1,363,753

ASC 350 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” requires that goodwill be tested for impairment at the reporting unit level on an annual basis and between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying value. Annually on October 31, goodwill and other acquired intangible assets with indefinite lives are tested for impairment. The Company did not consider there to be any triggering event that would require an interim impairment assessment, therefore none of the goodwill or other acquired intangible assets with indefinite lives were tested for impairment during the six months ended June 30, 2014. Based on the results of our annual impairment test at October 31, 2013, all reporting units had a fair value that was significantly in excess of carrying value, except for our IDEX Optics and Photonics ("IOP") reporting unit, which had a fair value approximately 10% greater than the carrying value. The IOP reporting unit was written down to its fair value in 2012 as a result of our annual goodwill impairment testing and, thus, the fair value continues to be near the carrying value.

The following table provides the gross carrying value and accumulated amortization for each major class of intangible asset at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013:



	At June 30, 2014								At December 31, 2013

9. Borrowings

Borrowings at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 consisted of the following:



	June 30, 2014		December 31, 2013
Revolving Facility	$	55,000	$	10,000
2.58% Senior Euro Notes, due June 2015	110,525		111,505

Less current portion	111,539		1,871
Total long-term borrowings	$	705,326	$	772,005

The Company maintains a $700.0 million revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Facility") with a maturity date of June 27, 2016. Up to $75.0 million of the Revolving Facility is available for the issuance of letters of credit, and up to $25.0 million is available to the Company for swing line loans, available on a same-day basis.

Proceeds from the Revolving Facility are available for working capital, acquisitions and other general corporate purposes, including refinancing existing debt of the Company and its subsidiaries.

Borrowings under the Revolving Facility bear interest, at either an alternate base rate or an adjusted LIBOR rate plus, in each case, an applicable margin. Such applicable margin is based on the Company’s senior, unsecured, long-term debt rating and can range from .875% to 1.70%. Based on the Company’s credit rating at June 30, 2014, 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.

At June 30, 2014, $55.0 million was outstanding under the Revolving Facility, with $7.8 million of outstanding letters of credit, resulting in net available borrowing capacity under the Revolving Facility at June 30, 2014 of approximately $637.2 million.

At June 30, 2014, the Company included the outstanding balance of the 2.58% Senior Euro Notes, $110.5 million, within Current liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as the maturity date is June 9, 2015.

Other borrowings of $3.1 million at June 30, 2014 consisted primarily of debt at international locations maintained for working capital purposes. Interest is payable on the outstanding debt balances at rates ranging from 0.3% to 1.5% 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 June 30, 2014, the Company was in compliance with both of these financial covenants. There are no financial covenants relating to the 4.5% Senior Notes or 4.2% Senior Notes; however, both are subject to cross-default provisions.

10. Derivative Instruments

The Company enters into cash flow hedges from time to time to reduce the exposure to variability in certain expected future cash flows. The 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. See Note 12 for the amount of loss reclassified into income for interest rate contracts for June 2014 and 2013. 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 June 30, 2014, the Company did not have any interest rate contracts outstanding.

In 2010 and 2011, the Company entered into two separate forward starting interest rate contracts in anticipation of the issuance of the 4.2% Senior Notes and the 4.5% Senior Notes. The Company cash settled these two interest rate contracts in 2010 and 2011 for a total of $68.9 million, which is being amortized into interest expense over the 10 year term of the debt instruments. Approximately $7.1 million of the pre-tax amount included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in shareholders’ equity at June 30, 2014 will be recognized to net income over the next 12 months as the underlying hedged transactions are realized.

11. 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 at fair value on a recurring basis in the balance sheet at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013:



	Basis of Fair Value Measurements
	Balance at June 30, 2014		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Money market investment	$	22,577	$	22,577	$	—	$	—
Available for sale securities	3,985		3,985		—		—



	Basis of Fair Value Measurements
	Balance at December 31, 2013		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Money market investment	$	27,871	$	27,871	$	—	$	—
Available for sale securities	3,255		3,255		—		—

There were no transfers of assets or liabilities between Level 1 and Level 2 during the quarter ended June 30, 2014 or the year ended December 31, 2013.

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 June 30, 2014, the fair value of the outstanding indebtedness under 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 $847.4 million compared to the carrying value of $813.7 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.

12. Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

The components of other comprehensive income (loss) are as follows:

At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company had 150 million shares of authorized common stock, with a par value of $.01 per share, and 5 million shares of authorized preferred stock, with a par value of $.01 per share. No preferred stock was outstanding at June 30, 2014 or December 31, 2013.

The Company’s policy is to recognize compensation cost on a straight-line basis, assuming forfeitures, over the requisite service period for the entire award. Classification of stock compensation cost within the Consolidated Statements of Operations is consistent with classification of cash compensation for the same employees.

As of June 30, 2014, there was $12.8 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options that is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.5 years, $14.2 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested shares/units that is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.1 years, and $6.8 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to performance share units that is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.3 years.

A summary of the Company’s stock option activity as of June 30, 2014, and changes during the six months ended June 30, 2014, is presented in the following table:

The Company previously disclosed in its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013, that it expected to contribute approximately $2.8 million to its defined benefit plans and $0.9 million to its other postretirement benefit plans in 2014. As of June 30, 2014, the Company expects to contribute $4.1 million to its defined benefit plans and $0.9 million to its other postretirement benefit plans in 2014. The Company contributed a total of $2.7 million during the first six months of 2014 and anticipates contributing up to an additional $2.3 million in 2014 to fund these plans.

16. Legal Proceedings

The Company is party to various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, none of which are expected to have a material impact on its business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

17. Income Taxes

The Company’s provision for income taxes is based upon estimated annual tax rates for the year applied to federal, state and foreign income. The provision for income taxes increased to $29.8 million in the second quarter of 2014 from $25.8 million in the second quarter of 2013. The effective tax rate increased to 29.3% for the second quarter of 2014 compared to 29.2% in the second quarter of 2013 due to the mix of global pre-tax income among jurisdictions. Additionally, the current quarter tax rate was favorably impacted by the enactment of state income tax laws and the comparable quarter tax rate in the prior year was favorably impacted by settlements with taxing authorities.

The provision for income taxes increased to $59.4 million in the first six months of 2014 from $50.0 million in the same period of 2013. The effective tax rate increased to 28.9% for the first six months of 2014 compared to 28.7% in the same period of 2013 due to the mix of global pre-tax income among jurisdictions. Additionally, the effective tax rate for the first six months of 2014 was favorably impacted by the enactment of state income tax laws and settlements with taxing authorities primarily related to purchase price adjustments for prior period acquisitions, while the comparable period tax rate in the prior year was favorably impacted by the enactment of the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 on January 2, 2013, which reinstated the U.S. R&D credit retroactively to January 1, 2012.

The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and various state and foreign jurisdictions. Due to the potential for resolution of federal, state and foreign examinations, and the expiration of various statutes of limitation, it is reasonably possible that the Company’s gross unrecognized tax benefits balance may change within the next twelve months by a range of zero to $1.0 million.

Results of Operations

The following is a discussion and analysis of our results of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013. Segment operating income excludes unallocated corporate operating expenses.

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

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. In addition, this report references EBITDA. This non-GAAP measure has been reconciled to Net income and Operating income in this Item 2 under the heading "Non-GAAP Disclosures." Given the acquisitive nature of the Company, management believes that EBITDA provides important information about the performance of the Company's businesses by, among other matters, eliminating the impact of higher amortization expense at recently acquired businesses.

Interest expense of $10.4 million in the second quarter of 2014 was slightly down from $10.6 million in 2013.

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 of $29.8 million for the second quarter of 2014 increased compared to $25.8 million recorded in the same period of 2013. The effective tax rate increased slightly to 29.3% for the second quarter of 2014 compared to 29.2% in the same period of 2013 due to the mix of global pre-tax income among jurisdictions. Additionally, the current quarter tax rate was favorably impacted by the enactment of state income tax laws and the comparable quarter tax rate in the prior year was favorably impacted by settlements with taxing authorities.

Net income in the second quarter of 2014 of $71.8 million increased from $62.6 million during the same period of 2013. Diluted earnings per share in the second quarter of 2014 of $0.88 increased $0.12, or 16%, compared with the same period in 2013.

Sales within our Rescue group decreased due to prolonged decision making on projects in China and Europe, partially offset by large project shipments.

Operating income and operating margin of $75.6 million and 27.7%, respectively, in the first six months of 2014 were higher than the $51.9 million and 23.0% recorded in the first six months of 2013, primarily due to volume leverage, the fulfillment of the large Dispensing order as well as a prior year charge associated with a facility disposal in 2013.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At June 30, 2014, the Company's cash and cash equivalents totaled $485.3 million, of which $362.6 million was held outside of the United States. At June 30, 2014, working capital was $658.2 million and the current ratio was 2.5 to 1. Cash flows from operating activities for the first six months of 2014 decreased $15.3 million, or 8.4%, to $166.2 million compared to the first six months of 2013, due to higher federal income tax payments and decreased working capital performance, partially offset by higher earnings.

Cash flows provided by operating activities were more than adequate to fund capital expenditures of $23.3 million and $15.8 million in the first six months of 2014 and 2013, respectively. Capital expenditures were generally for machinery and equipment that improved productivity, tooling, business system technology, replacement of equipment and investments in new facilities. Management believes the Company has sufficient capacity in its plants and equipment to meet expected needs for future growth.

The Company maintains the Revolving Facility, which is a $700.0 million unsecured, multi-currency bank credit facility expiring on June 27, 2016. At June 30, 2014, there were $55.0 million of outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Facility and outstanding letters of credit totaled approximately $7.8 million. The net available borrowing capacity under the Revolving Facility at June 30, 2014, was approximately $637.2 million. Borrowings under the Revolving Facility bear interest, at either an alternate base rate or an adjusted LIBOR rate plus, in each case, an applicable margin. Such applicable margin is based on the Company’s senior, unsecured, long-term debt rating and can range from .875% to 1.70%. Based on the Company’s credit rating at June 30, 2014, 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.

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 June 30, 2014, the Company was in compliance with both of these financial covenants, as the Company’s interest coverage ratio was 12.54 to 1 and the leverage ratio was 1.61 to 1. There are no financial covenants relating to the 4.5% Senior Notes or 4.2% Senior Notes; however, both are subject to cross-default provisions.

On November 8, 2013, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a $300.0 million increase in the authorized level for repurchases of common stock. Repurchases under the program will be funded with future cash flow generation or borrowings available under the Revolving Facility. During the first six months of 2014, the Company purchased a total of 1.2 million shares at a cost of $85.7 million, of which $2.6 million was settled in July 2014. As of June 30, 2014, the Company had $282.2 million of remaining board authorization under its share repurchase programs.

The Company believes current cash, cash from operations and cash available under the Revolving Facility will be sufficient to meet its operating cash requirements, planned capital expenditures, interest on all borrowings, pension and postretirement funding requirements, expected share repurchases and annual dividend payments to holders of the Company’s stock for the remainder of 2014. 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 June 30, 2014, $55.0 million was outstanding under the Revolving Facility, with $7.8 million of outstanding letters of credit, resulting in net available borrowing capacity under the Revolving Facility at June 30, 2014 of approximately $637.2 million.

Non-GAAP Disclosures

The following is a reconciliation of EBITDA to the comparable measures of net income and operating income, as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We have reconciled consolidated EBITDA to net income and we have reconciled segment EBITDA to operating income, as we do not allocate interest and income taxes to our segments. EBITDA means earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Given the acquisitive nature of the Company which results in a higher level of amortization expense at recently acquired businesses, management uses EBITDA, in addition to operating income, to provide it with another way to measure financial performance of businesses across our three segments. Management also uses EBITDA for enterprise valuation purposes. We believe that EBITDA is also useful to some investors as an indicator of the strength and performance of the Company's and its segment's ongoing business operations and a way to evaluate and compare operating performance and value companies within our industry. However, it should not be considered as an alternative to net income, operating income or any other items calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The definition of EBITDA used here may differ from that used by other companies.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

The Company is subject to market risk associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. The Company may, from time to time, enter into foreign currency forward contracts and interest rate swaps on its debt when it believes there is a financial advantage in doing so. A treasury risk management policy, adopted by the Board of Directors, provides for 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 derivative financial or commodity 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, Japanese Yen, Indian Rupee and Chinese Renminbi. The Company manages its foreign exchange risk principally through invoicing customers in the same currency as the source of products. The effect of transaction gains and losses is reported within other income-net on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The Company’s interest rate exposure is primarily related to the $816.9 million of total debt outstanding at June 30, 2014. Approximately 7% 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 $0.1 million annualized increase or decrease in interest expense and cash flows. The remaining debt is fixed rate debt.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

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

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on the foregoing, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded as of June 30, 2014, that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

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

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION


Item 1.	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, 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 these settlements and legal costs, or how insurers may respond to claims that are tendered to them. Claims have been filed in jurisdictions throughout the United States. 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 Company’s business unit. No provision has been made in the financial statements of the Company, other than for insurance deductibles in the ordinary course, and the Company does not currently believe the asbestos-related claims will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

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 its business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
