1. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of IDEX Corporation (“IDEX,” “we,” “our,” or the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) applicable to interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The statements are unaudited but include all adjustments, consisting only of recurring items, except as noted, that the Company considers necessary for a fair presentation of the information set forth herein. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year.

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations set forth in this report should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which simplifies several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions, including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures, and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as classification in the statement of cash flows. The Company elected to early adopt this standard in the quarter ended March 31, 2016. The Company applied this standard prospectively and thus prior periods have not been adjusted.

The impact of the adoption resulted in the following:

•

The Company recorded a tax benefit of $1.6 million and $4.2 million within Provision for income taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, related to the excess tax benefit on stock options, restricted stock and performance share units. Prior to adoption this amount would have been recorded as a reduction of additional paid-in capital. This change could create volatility in the Company’s effective tax rate.


•	The Company elected not to change our policy on accounting for forfeitures and continued to estimate the total number of awards for which the requisite service period will not be rendered.


•	The Company no longer reclassifies the excess tax benefit from operating activities to financing activities in the statement of cash flows.


•	The Company excluded the excess tax benefits from the assumed proceeds available to repurchase shares in the computation of our diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016. This increased our diluted weighted average common shares outstanding by 178 thousand and 175 thousand shares for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases, which introduces a new lessee model that will require most leases to be recorded on the balance sheet and eliminates the required use of bright line tests in current U.S. GAAP for determining lease classification. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, 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, 2017, using either of

the following transition methods: (i) a full retrospective approach reflecting the application of the standard in each prior

(unaudited)

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 has not yet determined the method by which we will adopt the

standard in 2018.

2. Acquisitions and Divestitures

All of the Company’s acquisitions have been accounted for under FASB 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 Company’s consolidated financial statements from their respective dates of acquisition.

The Company incurred $1.4 million and $1.0 million of acquisition-related transaction costs in the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and $2.4 million and $1.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. These costs were recorded in Selling, general and administrative expenses and were related to completed transactions, pending transactions and potential transactions, including transactions that ultimately were not completed. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company recorded $3.6 million and $5.8 million, respectively, of fair value inventory step-up charges in Cost of sales associated with the completed 2016 acquisition.

2016 Acquisitions

On March 16, 2016, the Company acquired the stock of Akron Brass Holding Corporation (“Akron Brass”), a producer of a large array of engineered life–safety products for the safety and emergency response markets, which includes apparatus valves, monitors, nozzles, specialty lighting, electronic vehicle–control systems and firefighting hand tools. The business was acquired to complement and create synergies with our existing Hale, Class 1, and Godiva businesses. Headquartered in Wooster, Ohio, Akron Brass had annual revenues in its most recent fiscal year of approximately $120 million and operates in our Fire & Safety/Diversified Products segment. Akron Brass was acquired for cash consideration of $221.6 million. The purchase price was funded with borrowings under the Company’s revolving facilities. Goodwill and intangible assets recognized as part of the transaction were $123.9 million and $90.4 million, respectively. The goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes.

The Company made an initial allocation of the purchase price for the Akron Brass acquisition as of the acquisition date based on its understanding of the fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities. As the Company obtains additional information about these assets and liabilities and learns more about the newly acquired business, we will refine the estimates of fair value and more accurately allocate the purchase price. Only items identified as of the acquisition date are considered for subsequent adjustment. The Company will make appropriate adjustments to the purchase price allocation prior to the completion of the measurement period, as required.

The allocation of the acquisition costs to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, based on their estimated fair values, is as follows:



	Total
Current assets, net of cash acquired	$	44,887
Property, plant and equipment	12,452
Goodwill	123,855
Intangible assets	90,400
Total assets acquired	271,594
Current liabilities	(6,757		)
Deferred income taxes	(36,836		)
Other noncurrent liabilities	(6,445		)
Net assets acquired	$	221,556

Acquired intangible assets consist of trade names, customer relationships and unpatented technology. The goodwill recorded for the acquisition reflects the strategic fit, revenue and earnings growth potential of this business.

Of the $90.4 million of acquired intangible assets, $28.8 million was assigned to the Akron Brass trade name and is not subject to amortization. The acquired intangible assets and weighted average amortization periods are as follows:



	Total		Weighted Average Life
Trade names	$	4,200	15
Customer relationships	44,800		14
Unpatented technology	12,600		9
Amortized intangible assets	61,600
Indefinite lived - Akron Brass trade name	28,800
Total acquired intangible assets	$	90,400

2015 Acquisitions

On May 29, 2015, the Company acquired the stock of Novotema, SpA (“Novotema”), a leader in the design, manufacture and sale of specialty sealing solutions for use in the building products, gas control, transportation, industrial and water markets. The business was acquired to complement and create synergies with our existing sealing group. Located in Villongo, Italy, Novotema operates in our Health & Science Technologies segment. Novotema was acquired for cash consideration of $61.1 million (€56 million). The entire purchase price was funded with cash on hand. Goodwill and intangible assets recognized as part of this transaction were $34.3 million and $20.0 million, respectively. The $34.3 million of goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes.

On June 10, 2015, the Company acquired the stock of Alfa Valvole, S.r.l (“Alfa”), a leader in the design, manufacture and sale of specialty valve products for use in the chemical, petro-chemical, energy and sanitary markets. The business was acquired to expand our valve capabilities. Located in Casorezzo, Italy, Alfa operates in our Fluid & Metering Technologies segment. Alfa was acquired for cash consideration of $112.6 million (€99.8 million). The entire purchase price was funded with cash on hand. Goodwill and intangible assets recognized as part of this transaction were $69.6 million and $32.1 million, respectively. The $69.6 million of goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes.

On July 1, 2015, the Company acquired the membership interests of CiDRA Precision Services, LLC (“CPS”), a leader in the design, manufacture and sale of microfluidic components serving the life science, health and industrial markets. The business was acquired to provide a critical building block to our emerging microfluidic and nanofludics capabilities. Located in Wallingford, Connecticut, CPS operates within our Health & Sciences Technologies segment. CPS was acquired for an aggregate purchase price of $24.2 million, consisting of $19.5 million in cash and contingent consideration valued at $4.7 million as of the opening balance sheet date. The contingent consideration was based on the achievement of financial objectives during the 12-month period following the close. Based on potential outcomes, the undiscounted amount of all the future payments that the Company could have been required to make under the contingent consideration arrangement was between $0 and $5.5 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company re-evaluated the contingent consideration arrangement and fully reversed the $4.7 million liability based on CPS’s actual operating results from July 1, 2015 to June 30, 2016. The reversal was recognized as a benefit within Selling, general and administrative expenses of $1.0 million and $4.7 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively. The entire purchase price was funded with cash on hand. Goodwill and intangible assets recognized as part of this transaction were $9.7 million and $12.3 million, respectively. The $9.7 million of goodwill is deductible for tax purposes.

On December 1, 2015 the Company acquired the assets of a complementary product line within our Fluid & Metering Technologies segment. The purchase price and goodwill associated with this transaction were $1.9 million and $0.7 million, respectively.

2015 Divestiture

The Company periodically reviews its operations for businesses which may no longer be aligned with its strategic objectives and focus on core business and customers. On July 31, 2015, the Company completed the sale of its Ismatec product line to Cole-Palmer Instruments Company for $27.7 million in cash, resulting in a pre-tax gain on the sale of $18.1 million. The results of Ismatec were reported within the Health & Science Technologies segment through the date of sale.

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, restricted stock, 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

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

(unaudited)

has determined that its outstanding shares of restricted stock 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.

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



	Three Months Ended June 30,		Six Months Ended June 30,
	2016	2015	2016	2015
Basic weighted average common shares outstanding	75,690	77,466	75,719	77,731
Dilutive effect of stock options, restricted stock, performance share units and DCUs	984	831	968	845
Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding	76,674	78,297	76,687	78,576

Options to purchase approximately 1.0 million and 1.3 million shares of common stock for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, and 0.9 million shares of common stock for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 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, 2016 and December 31, 2015 were:



	June 30, 2016		December 31, 2015
Raw materials and component parts	$	163,302	$	141,671
Work in process	34,321		32,387
Finished goods	60,036		65,066
Total	$	257,659	$	239,124

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

6. Goodwill and Intangible Assets

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the six months ended June 30, 2016, by reportable business segment, were as follows:



	Fluid & Metering Technologies			Health & Science Technologies			Fire & Safety/ Diversified Products		Total
Balance at December 31, 2015	$	584,770		$	590,605		$	221,154	$	1,396,529

Balance at June 30, 2016	$	584,681		$	586,261		$	345,361	$	1,516,303

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 events 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, 2016. Based on the results of our annual impairment test at October 31, 2015, all reporting units had a fair value that was more than 70% greater than the carrying value, except for our IDEX Optics and Photonics (“IOP”) and Valves reporting units. Our IOP reporting unit had a fair value that was approximately 20% in excess

(unaudited)

of the carrying value and our Valves reporting unit had a fair value near its carrying value as a result of the formation of this reporting unit in conjunction with our Alfa acquisition in June 2015.

The following table provides the gross carrying value and accumulated amortization for each major class of intangible assets at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015:

The Banjo trade name is an indefinite lived intangible asset which is 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. In the first six months of 2016, there were no triggering events or changes that would have required a review. Based on the results of our annual impairment test at October 31, 2015, the fair value of the Banjo trade name was greater than 20% in excess of the carrying value.

The Akron Brass trade name is an indefinite lived intangible asset that was generated as a result of the Akron Brass acquisition in March 2016.

Amortization of intangible assets was $12.3 million and $10.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Based on the intangible asset balances as of June 30, 2016, amortization expense is expected to approximate $21.4 million for the remaining six months of 2016, $34.4 million in 2017, $25.6 million in 2018, $24.0 million in 2019 and $23.3 million in 2020.

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

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

On June 23, 2015, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) along with certain of its subsidiaries, as borrowers (the “Borrowers”), Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, swing line lender and an issuer of letters of credit, with other agents party thereto. The Credit Agreement replaces the Company’s existing five-year, $700 million credit agreement, dated as of June 27, 2011, which was due to expire on June 27, 2016.

The Credit Agreement consists of a revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”) in an aggregate principal amount of $700 million, with a final maturity date of June 23, 2020. The maturity date may be extended under certain conditions for an additional one-year term. Up to $75 million of the Revolving Facility is available for the issuance of letters of credit. Additionally, up to $50 million of the Revolving Facility is available to the Company for swing line loans, available on a same-day basis.

Proceeds of the Revolving Facility are available for use by the Borrowers for acquisitions, working capital and other general corporate purposes, including refinancing existing debt of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Company may request increases in the lending commitments under the Credit Agreement, but the aggregate lending commitments pursuant to such increases may not exceed $350 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.

Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest, at either an alternate base rate or an adjusted LIBOR rate plus, in each case, an applicable margin. Such applicable margin is based on the Company’s senior, unsecured, long-term debt rating and can range from .005% to 1.50%. Based on the Company’s credit rating at June 30, 2016, the applicable margin was 1.10%, resulting in an interest rate of 1.56% at June 30, 2016. 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.

The Credit Agreement requires payment to the lenders of a facility fee based upon (a) the amount of the lenders’ commitments under the credit facility from time to time and (b) the applicable corporate credit ratings of the Company. Voluntary prepayments of any loans and voluntary reductions of the unutilized portion of the commitments under the credit facility are permissible without penalty, subject to break funding payments and minimum notice and minimum reduction amount requirements.

The negative covenants include, among other things, limitations (each of which is subject to customary exceptions for

financings of this type) on our ability to grant liens; enter into transactions resulting in fundamental changes (such as mergers or sales of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company); restrict subsidiary dividends or other subsidiary distributions; enter into transactions with the Company’s affiliates; and incur certain additional subsidiary debt.

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 June 30, 2016, $210.0 million was outstanding under the Revolving Facility, with $7.9 million of outstanding letters of credit, resulting in net available borrowing capacity under the Revolving Facility at June 30, 2016 of approximately $482.1 million.

Other borrowings of $1.7 million at June 30, 2016 consisted primarily of debt at international locations maintained for working capital purposes. Interest is payable on the outstanding debt balances at rates ranging from 0.6% to 2.8% per annum.

There are two key financial covenants that the Company is required to maintain in connection with the Revolving Facility and the Notes, a minimum interest coverage ratio of 3.0 to 1 and a maximum leverage ratio of 3.50 to 1. At June 30, 2016, 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 13 for the amount of loss reclassified into income for interest rate contracts for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015. 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, 2016, 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 $6.7 million of the pre-tax amount included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in shareholders’ equity at June 30, 2016 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 sheets at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015:

Available for sale securities	4,794			4,794		—		—
Contingent consideration	(4,705		)	—		—		(4,705		)

There were no transfers of assets or liabilities between Level 1 and Level 2 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 or the year ended December 31, 2015.

In determining the fair value of the contingent consideration potentially due on the acquisition of CPS, the Company used probability weighted estimates of EBITDA during the earn-out period. The $4.7 million represented management’s best estimate of the liability as of the opening balance sheet date and December 31, 2015, based on a range of outcomes of CPS’s 12 month operating results, from July 1, 2015 to June 30, 2016. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company re-evaluated the contingent consideration arrangement and fully reversed the $4.7 million liability based on CPS’s actual operating results from July 1, 2015 to June 30, 2016. The reversal was recognized as a benefit within Selling, general and administrative expenses and amounted to $1.0 million and $4.7 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively.

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, 2016, the fair value of the outstanding indebtedness under our Revolving Facility, 3.2% Senior Notes, 3.37% Senior 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 $1,105.7 million compared to the carrying value of $1,058.7 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. Restructuring

During the fourth quarter of 2015, the Company recorded restructuring costs as part of the 2015 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. The costs incurred related to these initiatives were included in Restructuring expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations while the related accruals were included in Accrued expenses in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Severance costs primarily consisted of severance benefits through payroll continuation, COBRA subsidies, outplacement services, conditional separation costs and employer tax liabilities.

Restructuring accruals of $2.4 million and $6.6 million at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, are recorded in Accrued expenses in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Severance benefits are expected to be paid in the next nine months using cash from operations. The changes in the restructuring accrual for the six months ended June 30, 2016 are as follows:



	Restructuring
Balance at January 1, 2016	$	6,636
Payments, utilization and other	(4,257		)
Balance at June 30, 2016	$	2,379

18. 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 decreased to $27.9 million in the second quarter of 2016 from $28.9 million in the same period of 2015. The effective tax rate decreased to 26.9% for the second quarter of 2016 compared to 29.4% in the same period of 2015 due to the early adoption of ASU 2016-09 and the related tax effects of share based payments now recognized in income, the enactment of the Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes Act of 2015 on December 18, 2015 which, beginning in 2015, permanently extended the U.S. Research and Development credit, as well as the mix of global pre-tax income among jurisdictions.

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 decreased to $52.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2016 from $55.8 million in the same period of 2015. The effective tax rate decreased to 26.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to 29.2% in the same period of 2015 due to the mix of global pre-tax income among jurisdictions. Additionally, the effective tax rate for the current year period was favorably impacted by the early adoption of ASU 2016-09 and the related tax effects of share based payments now recognized in income and the effective tax rate for the comparable period of the prior year was favorably impacted by the enactment of the Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes Act of 2015 on December 18, 2015 which, beginning in 2015, permanently extended the U.S. Research and Development credit.

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 $4.1 million.

19. Subsequent Events

On July 1, 2016, the Company announced the acquisition of AWG Fittings GmbH (“AWG”), for cash consideration of approximately $51 million (€46 million).

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 customers’ specifications. IDEX’s products are sold in niche markets to a wide range of industries throughout the world. Accordingly, IDEX’s businesses are affected by levels of industrial activity and economic conditions in the U.S. and in other countries where it does business and by the relationship of the U.S. Dollar to other currencies. Levels of capacity utilization and capital spending in certain industries and overall industrial activity are among the factors that influence the demand for IDEX’s products.

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

The Fluid & Metering Technologies segment contains the Energy (comprised of Corken, Faure Herman, Liquid Controls, SAMPI and Toptech), Valves (comprised of Alfa Valvole), Water (comprised of Pulsafeeder, Knight, ADS, IETG, and iPEK), Industrial (comprised of Richter, Viking, Aegis, Warren Rupp, and Trebor), and Agricultural (comprised of Banjo) platforms. The Health & Science Technologies segment contains the IDEX Optics & Photonics (comprised of CVI Melles Griot, Semrock, and AT Films), Scientific Fluidics (comprised of Eastern Plastics, Rheodyne, Sapphire Engineering, Upchurch, ERC, and CiDRA Precision Services), Material Processing Technologies (comprised of Quadro, Fitzpatrick, Microfluidics, and Matcon), Sealing Solutions (comprised of PPE, FTL, and Novotema), Micropump, and Gast platforms. The Fire & Safety/Diversified Products segment is comprised of the Dispensing, Rescue (comprised of Lukas, Vetter, Hurst Jaws of Life, and Dinglee), Band-It, and Fire Suppression (comprised of Class 1, Hale, Akron Brass, and Godiva) platforms.

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, 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 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.

Table of Contents

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

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

This report references organic sales, a non-GAAP measure, that refers to sales calculated according to U.S. GAAP but excluding amounts from acquired or divested businesses during the first twelve months after acquisition or divestiture and 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 and divestitures because the nature, size, and number 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. 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 as an internal operating metric to provide another representation of performance of businesses across our three segments and for enterprise valuation purposes. Management believes that EBITDA is useful to investors as an indicator of the strength and performance of the Company and a way to evaluate and compare operating performance and value companies within our industry. EBITDA is also used to calculate certain financial covenants, as discussed in Note 9 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1, “Financial Statements.”

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

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

Some of our key financial results for the three months ended June 30, 2016 when compared to the same period from the prior year are as follows:


•	Sales of $550 million increased 7%; organic sales (which excludes acquisitions, divestitures and foreign currency translation) were down 1%.


•	Operating income of $113 million increased 3%.


•	Net income increased 9% to $76 million or 14% of sales.


•	EBITDA of $137 million was 25% of sales and covered interest expense by more than 12 times.


•	Diluted EPS of $0.99 increased 10 cents, or 11%.

Some of our key financial results for the six months ended June 30, 2016 when compared to the same period from the prior year are as follows:


•	Sales of $1.1 billion increased 3%; organic sales (which excludes acquisitions, divestitures and foreign currency translation) were down 2%.


•	Operating income of $216 million increased 2%.


•	Net income increased 6% to $144 million or 14% of sales.


•	EBITDA of $260 million was 25% of sales and covered interest expense by nearly 12 times.


•	Diluted EPS of $1.87 increased 15 cents, or 9%.

Table of Contents

Given the Company’s current outlook, we are projecting third quarter 2016 EPS in the range of $0.90 to $0.92 with full year 2016 EPS of $3.70 to $3.75. This guidance anticipates flat organic growth for the year with operating margin between 20.5 and 21.0 percent.

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, 2016 and 2015. Segment operating income and EBITDA excludes unallocated corporate operating expenses of $16.1 million and $15.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and $31.1 million and $34.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Consolidated Results for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2016 Compared with the Same Period of 2015



(In thousands)	Three Months Ended June 30,
	2016			2015
Net sales	$	549,696		$	514,881
Operating income	112,976			109,909
Operating margin	20.6		%	21.3		%

For the second quarter of 2016, Fluid & Metering Technologies contributed 40% of sales, 42% of operating income and 40% of EBITDA; Health & Science Technologies accounted for 34% of sales, 32% of operating income and 35% of EBITDA; and Fire & Safety/Diversified Products represented 26% of sales, 26% of operating income and 25% of EBITDA. These percentages are calculated on the basis of total segment (not total Company) sales, operating income and EBITDA.

Sales in the three months ended June 30, 2016 were $549.7 million, a 7% increase from the comparable period last year. This increase reflects an 8% increase from acquisitions (Novotema - June 2015, Alfa - June 2015, CPS - July 2015 and Akron Brass - March 2016) and a 1% decrease in organic sales. Sales to customers outside the U.S. represented approximately 50% of total sales in the second quarter of 2016 compared to 51% during the same period in 2015.

Gross profit of $244.1 million in the second quarter of 2016 increased $12.4 million, or 5%, from the same period in 2015. Gross margin of 44.4% in the second quarter of 2016 decreased 60 basis points from 45.0% during the same period in 2015. The decrease in gross margin is primarily due to a $3.6 million fair value inventory step-up charge related to the Akron Brass acquisition.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $131.1 million in the second quarter of 2016 from $121.7 million during the same period of 2015. The increase is primarily related to $9.7 million of incremental costs from acquisitions, partially offset by the $1.0 million reversal of contingent consideration from a 2015 acquisition. As a percentage of sales, selling, general and administrative expenses were 23.8% for the second quarter of 2016, up 10 basis points from the 23.7% for the same period of 2015.

Operating income of $113.0 million, in the second quarter of 2016, was up from the $109.9 million recorded during the same period in 2015, while operating margin of 20.6% for the second quarter of 2016, was down compared to 21.3% recorded during the same period in 2015. The increase in operating income was primarily due to the incremental impact of acquisitions. The decrease in operating margin was primarily due to a $3.6 million fair value inventory step-up charge related to the Akron Brass acquisition, partially offset by the $1.0 million benefit from the reversal of the remaining contingent consideration related to a 2015 acquisition.

Interest expense of $11.2 million in the second quarter of 2016 was up from $10.6 million in 2015 primarily as a result of higher borrowings outstanding on the Revolving Facility and the 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 of $27.9 million for the second quarter of 2016 decreased compared to $28.9 million recorded in the same period of 2015. The effective tax rate decreased to 26.9% for the second quarter of 2016 compared to 29.4% in the same period of 2015 due to the early adoption of ASU 2016-09 and the related tax effects of share based payments now recognized in income, the enactment of the Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes Act of 2015 on December 18, 2015 which, beginning in 2015, permanently extended the U.S. Research and Development credit, as well as the mix of global pre-tax income among jurisdictions.

Net income in the second quarter of 2016 of $75.8 million increased from $69.6 million during the same period of 2015. Diluted earnings per share in the second quarter of 2016 of $0.99 increased $0.10, or 11%, compared with the same period in 2015.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Operating Activities

At June 30, 2016, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents totaled $361.5 million, of which $329.2 million was held outside of the United States. At June 30, 2016, working capital was $671.6 million and the current ratio was 3.3 to 1. Cash flows from operating activities for the first six months of 2016 increased $10.4 million, or 7%, to $158.8 million compared to the first six months of 2015, due to improved working capital performance, lower bonus payments and the early adoption of ASU 2016-09 which no longer requires the excess tax benefit from share-based compensation to be shown as a reduction within cash flows from operating activities, partially offset by higher U.S. federal income tax payments.

Investing Activities

Cash flows used in investing activities for the first six months of 2016 increased $41.3 million to $238.6 million compared to the same period in 2015, primarily due to $221.6 million spent on the acquisition of Akron Brass in 2016 compared to $173.3 spent on the acquisitions of Alfa and Novotema in 2015, partially offset by $6.7 million in lower capital expenditures.

Table of Contents

Cash flows provided by operating activities were more than adequate to fund capital expenditures of $17.1 million and $23.8 million in the first six months of 2016 and 2015, 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.

Financing Activities

Cash flows provided by financing activities for the first six months was $118.8 million compared to cash flows used in financing activities of $126.1 million in the same period of 2015, primarily as a result of increased borrowings to fund the Akron Brass acquisition, partially offset by lower common stock repurchases.

The Credit Agreement consists of the Revolving Facility, which is a $700.0 million unsecured, multi-currency bank credit facility expiring on June 23, 2020. At June 30, 2016, there were $210.0 million of outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Facility and outstanding letters of credit totaled approximately $7.9 million. The net available borrowing capacity under the Revolving Facility at June 30, 2016, was approximately $482.1 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 .005% to 1.50%. Based on the Company’s credit rating at June 30, 2016, the applicable margin was 1.10%, resulting in an interest rate of 1.56% at June 30, 2016. 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 15 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 the Notes, which require a minimum interest coverage ratio of 3.0 to 1 and a maximum leverage ratio of 3.50 to 1. At June 30, 2016, the Company was in compliance with both of these financial covenants, as the Company’s interest coverage ratio was 12.49 to 1 and the leverage ratio was 1.97 to 1. There are no financial covenants relating to the 4.5% Senior Notes or 4.2% Senior Notes; however, both are subject to cross-default provisions.

On December 1, 2015, the Company’s Board of Directors approved 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 2016, the Company purchased a total of 726 thousand shares at a cost of $53.9 million, of which $0.2 million was settled in July 2016. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company purchased 1.5 million shares at a cost of $113.3 million, of which $2.3 million was settled in July 2015. As of June 30, 2016, the amount of share repurchase authorization remaining is $581.1 million.

The Company believes current cash, cash from operations and cash available under the Revolving Facility will be sufficient to meet its operating cash requirements, planned capital expenditures, interest 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 2016. Additionally, in the event that suitable businesses are available for acquisition upon acceptable terms, the Company may obtain all or a portion of the financing for these acquisitions through the incurrence of additional borrowings.

Non-GAAP Disclosures

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

period foreign exchange rates to the current year period. Management believes that reporting organic sales provides useful information to investors by helping identify underlying growth trends in our business and facilitating easier comparisons of our revenue performance with prior and future periods and to our peers. The Company excludes the effect of foreign currency translation from organic sales because foreign currency translation is not under management’s control, is subject to volatility and can obscure underlying business trends. The Company excludes the effect of acquisitions and divestitures because the nature, size, and number 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. 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 as an internal operating metric to provide another representation of the businesses performance across our three segments and for enterprise valuation purposes. Management believes that EBITDA is useful to investors as an indicator of the strength and performance of the Company and a way to evaluate and compare operating performance and value companies within our industry. EBITDA is also used to calculate certain financial covenants, as discussed in Note 9 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1, “Financial Statements.”

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

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.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rates

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 cost incurred to produce our products. The effect of transaction gains and losses is reported within other (income) expense-net on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Interest Rate Fluctuation

The Company’s interest rate exposure is primarily related to the $1.1 billion of total debt outstanding at June 30, 2016. Approximately 20% of the debt, representing the amount drawn on the Revolving Facility at June 30, 2016, 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 $1.1 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, 2016, 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 five of its subsidiaries are presently named as defendants in a number of lawsuits claiming various asbestos-related personal injuries, allegedly as a result of exposure to products manufactured with components that contained asbestos. These components were acquired from third party suppliers, and were not manufactured by the Company or any of the defendant subsidiaries. To date, the majority of the Company’s settlements and legal costs, except for costs of coordination, administration, insurance investigation and a portion of defense costs, have been covered in full by insurance, subject to applicable deductibles. However, the Company cannot predict whether and to what extent insurance will be available to continue to cover these settlements and legal costs, or how insurers may respond to claims that are tendered to them. Claims have been filed in jurisdictions throughout the United States. 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 are expected to have a material impact on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
