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 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 months ended March 31, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year.
The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements 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, 2024.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires public entities, on an annual basis, to disclose standard categories in the tax rate reconciliation, additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold and income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Adoption of this ASU should be applied prospectively, but may be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. Adoption of the standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements, but is expected to result in incremental income tax disclosures when adopted in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2025 and in periodic results thereafter.
2. Acquisitions
All of the Company’s acquisitions of businesses have been accounted for under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, Business Combinations. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities of the acquired companies, after adjustments to reflect the fair values assigned to the assets and liabilities, have been included in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets from their respective dates of acquisition. The results of operations of businesses acquired have been included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income since their respective dates of acquisition. Supplemental pro forma information has not been provided as the acquisitions did not have a material impact on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements individually or in the aggregate.
The Company makes a preliminary allocation of the purchase price for each acquisition as of the acquisition date based on its understanding of the fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities. These nonrecurring fair value measurements are classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. As the Company continues to obtain additional information, primarily related to the valuations of these assets and liabilities, and continues to integrate the newly acquired business, the Company will refine the estimates of fair value and more accurately allocate the purchase price through the completion of the measurement period, which is not to exceed one year from the date of acquisition. Only items that existed as of the acquisition date are considered for subsequent adjustment to the purchase price allocation. Goodwill recognized reflects the strategic fit, revenue and earnings growth potential of the acquired business and its synergies with existing IDEX businesses.

2024 Acquisitions
Mott Corporation
On September 5, 2024, the Company acquired Mott Corporation and its subsidiaries (“Mott”) in a stock acquisition. Mott is a leading microfiltration business specializing in the design, customization and manufacturing of sintered porous metal components and engineered solutions used in fluidic applications. Headquartered in Farmington, Connecticut, Mott operates in the Scientific Fluidics & Optics reporting unit within the Company’s Health & Science Technologies segment. Mott was acquired for cash consideration of $982.0 million, net of cash acquired of $3.1 million. The purchase price was funded using a combination of cash on hand of $207.7 million, borrowings under the Company’s Revolving Facility of $279.3 million and net proceeds of $495.0 million from the issuance of the Company’s 4.950 % Senior Notes (as defined in Note 8, “Borrowings”). Goodwill and intangible assets recognized as part of this transaction were $484.2 million and $412.8 million, respectively. The goodwill is expected to be primarily deductible for tax purposes.
As of March 31, 2025, the preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, based on their estimated fair values at the acquisition date, is as follows:
| Total | |||||
| Current assets, net of cash acquired | $ | ||||

Acquisition-Related Costs
The Company incurred acquisition-related costs of $0.7 million and $1.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. These costs were recorded in Selling, general and administrative expenses and were related to completed, pending and potential transactions, including transactions that ultimately were not completed. There were no fair value inventory step-up charges recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2025. The Company recorded a $2.5 million fair value inventory step-up charge associated with the completed 2023 acquisition of STC Material Solutions in Cost of sales during the three months ended March 31, 2024.

4. Revenue
Disaggregation of Revenue
The Company has a comprehensive offering of products, including technologies, built to customers’ specifications that are sold in niche markets throughout the world. The Company disaggregates revenue from contracts with customers by reporting unit and geographical region for each segment as the Company believes it best depicts how the amount, nature, timing and uncertainty of its revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. Revenue, presented as Net sales on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, was attributed to geographical region based on the location of the customer. The following tables present revenue disaggregated by reporting unit and geographical region.
Revenue by reporting unit for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 was as follows:

5. Earnings Per Common Share
Diluted earnings per common share (“EPS”) attributable to IDEX is computed by dividing Net income attributable to IDEX by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding (basic) plus common stock equivalents outstanding (diluted) for the period. Common stock equivalents consist of restricted stock, performance share units and stock options, which have been included in the calculation of weighted average common shares outstanding using the treasury stock method.
ASC 260, Earnings Per Share (“ASC 260”), concludes that all outstanding unvested share-based payment awards that contain rights to non-forfeitable 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 both participating and non-participating securities. Dividend rights for restricted stock awards issued under the IDEX Corporation 2024 Incentive Award Plan (the “2024 Incentive Award Plan”) are subject to the same vesting requirements as the underlying restricted stock awards, and therefore, these awards are not considered participating securities. Dividend rights for restricted stock awards issued prior to the adoption of the 2024 Incentive Award Plan are non-forfeitable and not subject to the same vesting requirements as the underlying restricted stock awards. As such, these awards have been determined to be participating securities. Accordingly, Diluted EPS attributable to IDEX was computed using the two-class method prescribed by ASC 260.
Basic weighted average common shares outstanding reconciles to diluted weighted average common shares outstanding as follows:

ASC 350, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (“ASC 350”), requires that goodwill be tested for impairment at the reporting unit level on an annual basis and between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying value. Annually, on October 31, goodwill and other acquired intangible assets with indefinite lives are tested for impairment. Based on the results of the Company’s annual goodwill impairment test at October 31, 2024, all reporting units had fair values in excess of their carrying values. Since the last assessment date, there were no events or circumstances that would have required an interim impairment test.

The Banjo and Akron Brass trade names are indefinite-lived intangible assets which are tested for impairment on an annual basis in accordance with ASC 350 or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired. Based on the results of the Company’s annual impairment test at October 31, 2024, these indefinite-lived intangible assets had fair values in excess of their carrying values. Since the last assessment date, there were no events or circumstances that would have required an interim impairment test on these indefinite-lived intangible assets.
Amortization of intangible assets was $31.5 million and $24.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Based on the intangible asset balances as of March 31, 2025, expected amortization expense for the remaining nine months of 2025 and for the years 2026 through 2029 is as follows:

The weighted-average interest rate for borrowings outstanding under the Revolving Facility was 3.71 % and 4.46 % for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and the year ended December 31, 2024, respectively. During April 2025, the Company repaid $12.5 million of the $249.0 million outstanding under the Revolving Facility.
At March 31, 2025, the Company was in compliance with the covenants contained in the credit agreement associated with the Revolving Facility as well as other long-term debt agreements.
9. Fair Value Measurements
ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, defines fair value, provides guidance for measuring fair value and requires certain disclosures. This standard discusses valuation techniques, such as the market approach (comparable market prices), the income approach (present value of future income or cash flow) and the cost approach (cost to replace the service capacity of an asset or replacement cost). The standard utilizes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The following is a brief description of those three levels:
•Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
•Level 2: Inputs, other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
•Level 3: Unobservable inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions.
The following table summarizes the basis used to measure the Company’s financial assets (liabilities) at fair value on a recurring basis in the balance sheets at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024:
| Basis of Fair Value Measurements | |||||||||||

(1) The Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (“SERP”) investment assets are offset by a SERP liability which represents the Company’s obligation to distribute SERP funds to participants. The SERP investment assets and liability are included in Other noncurrent assets and Other noncurrent liabilities, respectively, on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
There were no transfers of assets or liabilities between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 during the three months ended March 31, 2025 or the year ended December 31, 2024.
The carrying values of the Company’s other financial instruments (i.e., cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses) approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments.
Certain non-financial assets, primarily property, plant and equipment, goodwill and intangible assets, are not required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis and are reported at their carrying value. However, these assets are required to be assessed for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that their carrying value may not be fully recoverable, and at least annually for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets. See Note 7, “Goodwill and Intangible Assets,” for additional information about these assets.
The following table provides the fair value of the outstanding indebtedness described in Note 8, “Borrowings,” which is based on quoted market prices and current market rates for debt with similar credit risk and maturity, as well as the carrying value. These fair value measurements are classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy since they are determined based upon significant inputs observable in the market, including interest rates on recent financing transactions to entities with a credit rating similar to the Company’s rating.

The service period for certain retiree eligible participants is accelerated. Cash-settled restricted stock awards are recorded at fair value on a quarterly basis using the market price of the Company’s stock on the last day of the quarter. At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had accrued $2.9 million and $4.0 million, respectively, for cash-settled restricted stock in Accrued expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and had accrued $1.2 million and $2.4 million, respectively, for cash-settled restricted stock in Other noncurrent liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. These recurring fair value measurements are classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.

Performance Share Units
Performance share unit awards represent rights to receive shares of the Company’s common stock and will vest between 0 % to 250 % of the target share unit amount. Performance share units granted in 2025 are earned over a three-year performance period based on an internal income growth metric (a performance condition), weighted 25 %, and the total shareholder return of IDEX common stock in relation to the total shareholder return of companies in the S&P 500 Index (a market condition), weighted 75 %. Performance share unit awards granted prior to 2025 are earned solely based on the Company’s total shareholder return ranking in relation to the total shareholder return of companies in the S&P 500 Index over a three-year period following the date of grant.
The fair value of the performance condition portion of the 2025 awards is equal to the market price of the Company’s stock at the date of the grant, and the amount of expense recognized over the vesting period is subject to adjustment based on the expected attainment of the performance condition. The fair value of the market condition portion of the 2025 awards and all awards granted prior to 2025 is determined using a Monte Carlo simulation model, and the amount of expense recognized over the vesting period is not subject to change based on future market conditions. The assumptions used in the Monte Carlo simulation model to determine the fair value of the market condition portion of the performance share units granted in the respective periods were as follows:

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes in this quarterly report. This discussion may contain forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties. The Company’s actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of several factors, including those set forth under Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in the Company’s most recent annual report on Form 10-K and under the heading “Cautionary Statement Under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act” discussed elsewhere in this quarterly report.
This discussion includes certain non-GAAP financial measures that have been defined and reconciled to the most directly comparable financial measure prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) under the headings “Non-GAAP Disclosures” and “Free Cash Flow.” This discussion also includes Operating working capital, which has been defined under the heading “Liquidity and Capital Resources.” 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.
Overview
IDEX is an applied solutions provider specializing in the manufacturing of 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 across 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, as well as by the relationship of the U.S. dollar to other currencies. Levels of capacity utilization and capital spending in certain markets and overall industrial activity are important factors that influence the demand for IDEX’s products.
Highlights
(All comparisons are against the same period in 2024 unless otherwise noted)
•Net sales of $814.3 million increased 2% overall and decreased 1% organically*
•Diluted earnings per common share (“EPS”) attributable to IDEX of $1.26 decreased 21%
•Adjusted diluted EPS attributable to IDEX* of $1.75 decreased 7%
*These are non-GAAP measures. See the definitions of these non-GAAP measures and reconciliations to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures under the heading “Non-GAAP Disclosures.”
During the first quarter of 2025, the Company delivered solid operating performance. Strong price/cost execution and favorable operational productivity partly mitigated the impact of volume pressure. Operating results during the quarter also benefited from the acquisition of Mott Corporation and its subsidiaries (“Mott”). Both diluted EPS and Adjusted diluted EPS decreased, reflecting interest on borrowings to fund the acquisition of Mott during the third quarter of 2024 as well as the absence of discrete one-time tax benefits during the first quarter of 2024.
While uncertainty in the marketplace continues, we expect the potential unfavorable impact of tariffs and changes to global trade policies may have on our consolidated results of operations can largely be mitigated by price increases and cost reduction. Short cycle order patterns have not been discernibly disrupted to date, but continued uncertainty may result in further pressure on volumes across our markets and geographies. The Company believes it is well positioned in the current environment given the criticality and relatively low cost of its solutions. IDEX businesses generally operate locally with teams that are well equipped to adapt with agility. The Company remains focused on optimizing its business portfolio and expects its strong cash generation and balance sheet will continue to enable opportunistic capital deployment to generate shareholder value sustainably in the long run.

Net Sales
Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2025 increased as compared to the same prior year period as a result of contributions from the Mott acquisition. Organic sales for the three months ended March 31, 2025 decreased 1% which reflected lower volumes, largely as a result of market softness within certain Fluid & Metering Technologies and Health & Science Technologies businesses, partially offset by targeted growth initiatives and price capture.
Gross Profit and Gross Margin
Gross profit and Gross margin for the three months ended March 31, 2025 increased as compared to the same prior year period primarily due to favorable operational productivity across all segments and price/cost, partially offset by volume deleverage. Additionally, slightly higher employee-related costs were mitigated by platform optimization savings resulting from restructuring actions initiated during the period. Gross profit was also positively impacted by the impact of the Mott acquisition, net of divestitures.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2025 increased primarily due to the $16.6 million impact from acquisitions, net of divestitures, including amortization, and increased professional services spending as compared to the same prior year period. These increases were partially offset by lower employee-related costs.
Restructuring Expenses and Asset Impairments
Restructuring expenses and asset impairments increased in the three months ended March 31, 2025 primarily due to higher severance costs compared with the same prior year period. Severance costs during the current period were incurred in conjunction with organizational changes, primarily designed to connect scalable groups of businesses, which resulted in a reduction of headcount. Additionally, the Company eliminated certain management layers in select areas. For additional information regarding restructuring expenses and asset impairments, refer to Note 10, “Restructuring Expenses and Asset Impairments,” in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
26
Other Expense (Income) – Net
Other expense (income) – net decreased to $1.4 million of expense in the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to $2.7 million of income during the same prior year period primarily due to the unfavorable impact of foreign currency transactions as compared to the same prior year period.
Interest Expense – Net
Interest expense – net for the three months ended March 31, 2025 increased primarily due to the impact of higher debt outstanding used to finance the acquisition of Mott, partially offset by a reduction in interest expense related to the payoff of the Term Facility in 2024.
Income Taxes
The effective tax rate was 23.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to 21.5% during the same period in 2024. One-time discrete tax benefits related to the finalization of tax impacts with taxing authorities of a previously recorded legal entity restructuring lowered the effective tax rate during the three months ended March 31, 2024.
In October 2021, members of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) and G20 Inclusive Framework on Base Erosion and Profit Shifting agreed to a two-pillar solution to address the tax challenges associated with the digitalization of the economy. In December 2021, the OECD released the Pillar Two Model Rules (“Pillar Two”), which define the global minimum tax and call for the taxation of large corporations at a minimum rate of 15%. While it is uncertain whether the United States will enact legislation to adopt Pillar Two, certain countries in which we operate have enacted legislation, and other countries are in the process of introducing draft legislation to implement the minimum tax directive. Many aspects of Pillar Two became effective January 1, 2025; however, nearly all of the jurisdictions in which IDEX operates have an effective tax rate above the 15% threshold. Therefore, the Company does not expect a material impact from the Pillar Two income tax rules. We are continuing to monitor legislative developments and evaluate financial results for changes in the expected impact.

Results of Reportable Business Segments
The Company has three reportable segments: Fluid & Metering Technologies (“FMT”), Health & Science Technologies (“HST”) and Fire & Safety/Diversified Products (“FSDP”). For a detailed description of the operations within each segment, refer to Note 13, “Business Segments and Geographic Information,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. Management’s measurements of segment performance are Net sales, adjusted earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”) and Adjusted EBITDA margin.
The table below illustrates the share of Net sales and Adjusted EBITDA contributed by each segment on the basis of total segments (not total Company) for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity
Based on management’s current expectations and currently available information, the Company believes current cash, cash from operations and cash available under the Revolving Facility will be sufficient to meet its cash requirements, including planned capital expenditures, interest and principal payments on all borrowings, pension and postretirement funding requirements, share repurchases and quarterly dividend payments to holders of the Company’s common stock for the foreseeable future. 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. The Company believes that additional borrowings through various financing alternatives remain available, if required.
Select key liquidity metrics at March 31, 2025 are as follows:
| (In millions) | March 31, 2025 | |||||||
| Working capital | $ | 1,043.1 | ||||||
| Current ratio | 2.8 to 1 | |||||||

| Letters of credit | 3.0 | |||||||
| Revolving Facility availability | $ | 548.0 | ||||||
Operating Working Capital
Operating working capital, calculated as Receivables – net plus Inventories – net minus Trade accounts payable, is used by management as a measurement of operational results as well as the short-term liquidity of the Company. The following table details Operating working capital as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024:
| (In millions) | March 31, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | Change | Organic Change | ||||||||||||||||||||||

Operating working capital increased $42.8 million to $740.6 million at March 31, 2025. Acquisitions and foreign currency translation increased Operating working capital by $3.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025. Apart from these items, receivables increased due to price capture, which more than offset the impact of lower volumes; inventories increased to support planned production; and accounts payable increased as a result of higher inventory purchases and timing of payments.

Cash Flow Summary
The following table is derived from the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows:
| Three Months Ended March 31, | ||||||||||||||||||||
| (In millions) | 2025 | 2024 | Change | |||||||||||||||||
| Net cash flows provided by (used in): | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Operating activities | $ | 105.7 | $ | 156.6 | $ | (50.9) | ||||||||||||||
| Investing activities | (10.0) | (20.0) | 10.0 | |||||||||||||||||
| Financing activities | (133.3) | (41.0) | (92.3) | |||||||||||||||||
Operating Activities
Cash flows provided by operating activities decreased $50.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the same prior year period primarily due to higher investments in operating working capital driven by higher inventory purchases to support planned production, as well as higher interest payments on the 4.950% Senior Notes borrowed during the third quarter of 2024 to fund the acquisition of Mott.
Investing Activities
Cash flows used in investing activities decreased $10.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the prior year period primarily due to lower capital expenditures, which decreased $5.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the prior year period. The three months ended March 31, 2025 also includes $4.2 million of funds received in connection with the finalization of the Mott purchase price.
Financing Activities
Cash flows used in financing activities increased $92.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the prior year period primarily due to $50.0 million of share repurchases and a $30.2 million payment on the Revolving Facility. The three months ended March 31, 2025 also included lower proceeds from stock option exercises, net of shares withheld for taxes, which decreased $8.2 million, and higher dividends paid to shareholders, which increased $3.9 million as compared to the prior year period.
Free Cash Flow
The Company believes free cash flow, a non-GAAP measure, is an important measure of performance because it provides a measurement of cash generated from operations that is available for payment obligations such as operating cash requirements, planned capital expenditures, interest and principal payments on all borrowings, pension and postretirement funding requirements and quarterly dividend payments to holders of the Company’s common stock as well as for funding acquisitions and share repurchases. Free cash flow is calculated as cash flows provided by operating activities less capital expenditures.
The following table reconciles cash flows provided by operating activities to free cash flow:

Cash Requirements
Subsequent Borrowings Activity
During April 2025, the Company repaid $12.5 million of the $249.0 million outstanding under the Revolving Facility.
Capital Expenditures
Capital expenditures generally include machinery and equipment that support growth and improved productivity, tooling, business system technology, replacement of equipment and investments in new facilities. The Company believes it has sufficient operating cash flows to continue to meet current obligations and invest in planned capital expenditures. Cash flows from operations were more than adequate to fund capital expenditures of $14.3 million and $20.0 million in the first three months of 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Share Repurchases
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company repurchased 0.3 million shares at a cost of $50.0 million. There were no share repurchases during the three months ended March 31, 2024. As of March 31, 2025, the amount of share repurchase authorization remaining was $489.7 million. For additional information regarding the Company’s share repurchase program, refer to Note 12, “Share Repurchases,” in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Dividends
Total dividend payments to common shareholders were $52.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared with $48.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Covenants
The key financial covenants that the Company is required to maintain in connection with the Revolving Facility, the Term Facility, the 3.37% Senior Notes and the 5.13% Senior Notes, are a minimum interest coverage ratio of 3.0 to 1 and a maximum leverage ratio of 3.50 to 1. At March 31, 2025, the Company was in compliance with these financial covenants, as the Company’s interest coverage ratio was 14.08 to 1 for covenant calculation purposes and the leverage ratio was 2.22 to 1. There are no financial covenants relating to the 2.625% Senior Notes, the 3.00% Senior Notes or the 4.950% Senior Notes; however, all are subject to cross-acceleration provisions.
Credit Ratings
The Company’s credit ratings, which were independently developed by the following credit agencies, are detailed below:
•S&P Global Ratings reaffirmed the Company’s corporate credit rating of BBB (stable outlook) in September 2024.
•Moody’s Investors Service affirmed the Company’s corporate credit rating of Baa2 (stable outlook) in August 2024.
•Fitch Ratings reaffirmed the Company’s corporate credit rating of BBB+ (stable outlook) in June 2024.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company had $23.0 million of letters of credit as of March 31, 2025, primarily issued as security for insurance and other performance obligations. Of the $23.0 million of letters of credit, only $3.0 million reduced the Company’s borrowing capacity under the Revolving Facility as of March 31, 2025. The Company has restricted cash of $18.1 million as of March 31, 2025, which represents cash held as collateral for standby letters of credit issued by Mott and is required to keep the balance in a separate account for the duration of the letters of credit. Of the $18.1 million of restricted cash as of March 31, 2025, $15.4 million was released from restriction in April 2025 as the related standby letters of credit expired, $13.8 million of which is expected to be replaced in future periods under other existing facilities that do not reduce the Company’s borrowing capacity.
Except as disclosed above, the Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements that currently have or are reasonably likely to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, changes in financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Critical Accounting Estimates
There have been no changes to the Company’s critical accounting estimates described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Non-GAAP Disclosures
Set forth below are reconciliations of Organic sales, Adjusted gross profit, Adjusted gross margin, Adjusted net income attributable to IDEX, Adjusted diluted EPS attributable to IDEX, Consolidated Adjusted earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”) and Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA margin to their respective most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure. Management uses these metrics to measure performance of the Company since they exclude items that are not reflective of ongoing operations, as identified in the reconciliations below. Management also supplements its U.S. GAAP financial statements with adjusted information to provide investors with greater insight, transparency and a more comprehensive understanding of the information used by management in its financial and operational decision making.
Management uses Adjusted EBITDA as its measure of segment performance, and believes it is a useful indicator of the strength and performance of the Company and its segments’ ongoing business operations, as well as a way for investors to evaluate and compare operating performance and value companies within the Company’s industry. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA margin is useful for the same reason as Adjusted EBITDA. The definition of Adjusted EBITDA used here may differ from that used by other companies.
This report also references free cash flow. This non-GAAP measure is discussed and reconciled to its most directly comparable GAAP measure in the section above titled “Free Cash Flow.”
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. Due to rounding, numbers presented throughout this and other documents may not add up or recalculate precisely. The financial results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and the reconciliations from these results should be carefully evaluated.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
The Company and its subsidiaries are party to legal proceedings incidental to the operation of their businesses as described in Note 15 in Part I, Item 1, “Commitments and Contingencies,” in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and such disclosure is incorporated by reference into this Item 1. “Legal Proceedings.”
The Company’s threshold for disclosing material environmental legal proceedings involving a government authority where potential monetary sanctions are involved is $1.0 million.
In addition, the Company and eight 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. Asbestos-related claims have been filed in jurisdictions throughout the United States and the United Kingdom. Most of the claims resolved to date have been dismissed without payment. The balance of the claims have been settled for various immaterial 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.
