IDEX Corporation (NYSE:IEX) today announced its financial results for the three-month period ended September 30, 2025.

"Our IDEX teams executed well in the third quarter, delivering solid results in an uncertain macroeconomic environment. We are focused squarely on what we can control as we leverage our 8020 approach to drive momentum within our growth platforms. Our teams are effectively collaborating across businesses to support our fastest growing customers, and our results are strong evidence of this, positioning IDEX to deliver against targets for the second half of 2025," said Eric D. Ashleman, IDEX Corporation Chief Executive Officer and President.

"We support our growth efforts with a balanced capital deployment strategy, prioritizing allocation towards the highest return areas. In the near-term, we expect to continue our focus on returning capital to shareholders as we optimize our growth platform playbook and execute complementary bolt-on acquisitions. As we continue to execute our growth strategy, we are confident that we can achieve attractive growth and consistent value creation long-term."

Outlook

• Full Year 2025 GAAP diluted EPS narrowed to $6.35 - $6.40 (adjusted diluted EPS narrowed to $7.86 - $7.91), within prior guidance range
• Full year 2025 organic sales growth of approximately 1% remains unchanged
• Platform optimization and cost containment actions on pace to deliver $60+ million in full-year savings
• On track to achieve at least 100% free cash flow conversion for full year 2025

Consolidated Financial Results

• Net sales increased largely due to the impact of the Mott Corporation ("Mott") acquisition completed in September 2024. Organic sales increased due to positive price across our businesses. Higher volumes in our Health & Science Technologies ("HST") and Fluid & Metering Technologies ("FMT") segments were mostly offset by lower volumes in our Fire & Safety/Diversified Products ("FSDP") segment.
• Gross margin was relatively flat due to operational productivity improvements and lower fair value inventory step-up charges, partially offset by unfavorable mix and the impact of acquisitions. Platform optimization savings resulting from restructuring actions as well as other cost containment actions taken during 2025 mitigated increases in other employee-related costs. Adjusted gross margin was relatively flat as it excludes the benefit of lower fair value inventory step-up charges.
• Both Diluted EPS and Adjusted diluted EPS increased. Improved operational results, driven by positive price/cost and net favorable operational productivity, were offset by higher interest expense due to higher debt outstanding throughout the current year period related to the 2024 acquisition of Mott, higher depreciation expense and a higher effective tax rate resulting primarily from a lower benefit from certain foreign sourced income as a result of newly enacted legislation. GAAP Diluted EPS also reflects higher amortization expense from the acquisition of Mott largely offset by lower fair value inventory step-up charges and lower restructuring and asset impairment expense, all of which were excluded from Adjusted diluted EPS.
• Cash flows from operating activities and free cash flow continue to be strong and were both relatively flat compared to the prior year period. Higher earnings and lower cash tax payments were offset by timing of shipments and higher interest payments on senior notes to fund the acquisition of Mott.

Segment Financial Results

Health & Science Technologies Segment

• Net sales for the third quarter 2025 increased 22% driven by the acquisition of Mott. Organic sales increased 10% due to favorable volumes driven by timing of progress made on large orders at Mott as well as higher volumes in our life sciences, pharmaceutical, space and defense, data center and semiconductor consumables businesses, partially offset by lower volumes in our semiconductor lithography and industrial businesses. Net sales also reflect positive price across the segment.
• Adjusted EBITDA margin for the third quarter 2025 increased primarily due to volume leverage as well as net productivity improvements, including platform optimization savings and cost containment, and favorable price/cost, partially offset by acquisitions and unfavorable mix.

Fluid & Metering Technologies Segment

• Net sales for the third quarter 2025 increased 5%. Organic sales increased 4% primarily driven by positive price and slightly higher volumes as compared to the prior year period.
• Adjusted EBITDA margin for the third quarter 2025 increased primarily due to positive price/cost as well as net productivity improvements, including platform optimization savings and cost containment.

Fire & Safety/Diversified Products Segment

• Net sales for the third quarter 2025 decreased 3%. Organic sales decreased 5% driven by lower volumes within our Fire and Safety and Dispensing businesses, partially offset by positive price.
• Adjusted EBITDA margin for the third quarter 2025 decreased primarily due to volume deleverage, partially offset by price/cost. Operational productivity improvements, platform optimization savings and cost containment offset other higher employee-related costs.

Corporate Costs

Corporate costs included in consolidated Adjusted EBITDA were $21.7 million during the third quarter 2025, up slightly from $21.5 million during the same prior year period. Both periods benefited from variable compensation adjustments.

Other Items

• Repurchased 461,500 shares at a cost of $75.0 million
• Completed the acquisition of Micro-LAM for cash consideration of $80.7 million

Non-GAAP Measures of Financial Performance

The Company prepares its public financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). The Company supplements certain GAAP financial performance metrics with non-GAAP financial performance metrics. Management believes these non-GAAP financial performance metrics provide investors with greater insight, transparency and a more comprehensive understanding of the financial information used by management in its financial and operational decision making because certain of these adjusted metrics exclude items not reflective of ongoing operations, as identified in the reconciliations below. Reconciliations of non-GAAP financial performance metrics to their most directly comparable GAAP financial performance metrics are defined and presented below and should not be considered a substitute for, nor superior to, the financial data prepared in accordance with GAAP. Due to rounding, numbers presented throughout this and other documents may not add up or recalculate precisely.

All table footnotes can be found at the end of this Non-GAAP Measures section. There were no adjustments to GAAP financial performance metrics other than the items noted below.

• Organic orders and organic sales are calculated as orders and Net sales excluding amounts from acquired or divested businesses during the first twelve months of ownership or prior to divestiture and excluding the impact of foreign currency translation.
• Adjusted gross profit is calculated as Gross profit plus fair value inventory step-up charges.
• Adjusted gross margin is calculated as adjusted gross profit divided by Net sales.
• Adjusted net income attributable to IDEX is calculated as Net income attributable to IDEX plus fair value inventory step-up charges, plus Restructuring expenses and asset impairments, less the Gain on sale of a business, plus acquisition-related intangible asset amortization, all net of the statutory tax expense or benefit.
• Adjusted diluted EPS attributable to IDEX is calculated as adjusted net income attributable to IDEX divided by the diluted weighted average shares outstanding.
• Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as consolidated earnings before interest expense - net, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, or consolidated EBITDA, less the Gain on sale of a business, plus fair value inventory step-up charges, plus Restructuring expenses and asset impairments.
• Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated as Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA divided by Net sales.
• Free cash flow is calculated as cash flows from operating activities less capital expenditures. Free cash flow conversion is calculated as free cash flow divided by adjusted net income attributable to IDEX.
