Customers

In 2021, the Company did not have any customers that accounted for more than 3% of net sales. Since the Company serves

a wide variety of markets, customer concentrations are not significant.

International

The Company’s products and services are available worldwide, with manufacturing operations in more than 20 countries.
The businesses located outside the U.S. are primarily based in Germany, U.K., Italy, India, China, Canada and The Netherlands.
The Company’s geographic diversity allows it to draw on the skills of a global workforce, provides greater stability to its
operations, allows the Company to drive economies of scale, provides revenue streams that may help offset economic trends
that are specific to individual economies and offers the Company an opportunity to access new markets for products. A strong
foothold in these countries has allowed the Company to make great strides to expand its footprint in emerging markets, where
the Company believes there is tremendous potential for growth across all segments.

The Company uses a wide variety of raw materials which are generally purchased from a large number of independent
sources around the world. The Company believes it has an adequate supply of raw materials necessary to meet demand and
continues to actively manage recent supply chain constraints. In addition, the Company is exposed to fluctuations in commodity
pricing and inflation and attempts to control these impacts through increased prices to customers and various other programs
with its suppliers.

Suppliers

The Company manufactures many of the parts and components used in its products. Substantially all materials, parts and
components purchased by the Company are available from a large number of independent sources around the world. The
Company believes it has a sufficient number of suppliers necessary to meet demand and continues to actively manage recent
supply chain constraints.

Inventory and Backlog

The Company regularly and systematically adjusts production schedules and quantities based on the flow of incoming
orders. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, backlog generally was not considered a significant factor in the Company’s
businesses as relatively short delivery periods and rapid inventory turnover are characteristic of most of the Company’s
products. During 2021, backlog significantly increased due to supply chain constraints and inventory increased to support
production. The Company remains focused on delivering products and services to customers against an elevated backlog and
continues to actively manage inventory levels.

Shared Services

The Company has production facilities in Suzhou, China and Vadodara, India that support multiple business units. During
2021, the Company embarked on projects to expand both the China and India facilities in an effort to increase its footprint in
these emerging markets as the Company believes there is tremendous potential for growth across all segments. The projects are
expected to be completed in 2022. In addition, IDEX has personnel in China, India, Dubai, Mexico, Latin America and
Singapore that provide sales, marketing, product design, engineering and sourcing support to its business units in those regions

10

as well as personnel in various locations in South America, the Middle East, Korea and Japan to support sales and marketing
efforts in those regions.

Employees

At December 31, 2021, the Company had 7,536 employees. Approximately 5% of its employees in the U.S. were
represented by labor unions, with various contracts expiring through November 2023. Management believes that the Company
has a positive relationship with its employees. The Company historically has been able to renegotiate its collective bargaining
agreements satisfactorily, with its last work stoppage occurring in March 1993.

Human Capital Management

The Company recognizes that its success would not be possible without the valuable contributions of its workforce.
Investment in people enables the Company to accomplish its goals and deliver innovative customer solutions. The Company’s
corporate Human Capital strategy is overseen by its Chief Human Resource Officer (“CHRO”). Annually, the CHRO presents a
talent review to the Company’s Board of Directors. As part of the review, the team details each enterprise-level senior
leadership position and outlines succession plans to ensure the Board is informed of the Company’s plans for business
continuity and success.

The Company’s workforce advancement strategy succeeds through investment in three pillars: skill-building for the entire
workforce, leadership development aligned with the Company’s methodology and fostering a great culture. The Company’s
approach to training and education helps drive long-term value by providing employees with opportunities to develop skills
both individually and as teams:

•

•

•

•

•

Employees have access to learning through a variety of sources, including the IDEX Academy, which is the primary
local development programs and specific individual
platform for global
leadership development programs,
development plans. These trainings also help to develop future and potential
leaders in the IDEX leadership
methodology.
The Company also enables employee development and growth by offering full-time U.S. employees who have at least
six months of service the ability to participate in the Tuition Reimbursement program. Through the program,
employees can have certain expenses from secondary educational institutions reimbursed up to $5,250 per year.
The Company also built the IDEX Accelerating Management Potential (“I-AMP”) Collegiate Talent Program in 2018
to give early career professionals the opportunity to learn the Company’s values and business, and to grow within the
Company in both full-time and internship roles. Since the program began, over 78 percent of participants have
represented either gender or racial minority groups, and the Company will continue its focus on providing
opportunities for diverse early career professionals.
The Company prioritizes hiring team members who will embrace the team-driven culture and also places considerable
emphasis on leveraging the talented employees within the Company’s internal pipeline, filling many leadership
positions with Company employees.
Across the enterprise, the Company’s goal is to achieve manufacturing company top quartile employee engagement as
measured by its engagement survey. Given the challenges that the COVID-19 pandemic brought to the work
environment, the Company is encouraged that employees are staying engaged as it remains in the top quartile among
manufacturing companies with employee engagement at 76 percent.

Employee Pay and Benefits

Attracting and retaining top talent is critical to the success of the Company’s business. The Company offers a highly
competitive pay and benefits package for employees in all the markets where it operates. The performance-based pay packages
provide many employees with short-term performance incentives. The Company also provides equity-based, long-term
incentives to its senior leaders. In 2021, many of the Company’s business units took proactive action with off-cycle pay rate
increases for hourly employees as the labor dynamics tightened. The Company increased its 2022 compensation budgets as
related to previous years to maintain its focus on retaining key talent.

The Company’s U.S. employees can participate in a 401(k) retirement plan and an Employee Stock Purchase Plan, which

allows an employee to purchase IDEX stock through payroll deductions.

11

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

The Company has always recognized diversity as foundational to creativity and resilience; the three pillars of Innovation,
Diversity and Excellence form the acronym that is the Company’s name, IDEX. Gender, ethnic, cultural and other human
diversity is critical to the Company’s success.

In 2021, the Company hired a Vice President, Chief Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (“DE&I”) Officer (“CDO”) reporting
directly to the Chief Executive Officer. Subsequently, the CDO engaged the executive leadership team and Board of Directors
to finalize a three-year DE&I High Level Strategy and Tactics road map. Our Board of Directors regularly reviews DE&I
progress. In 2021, the Board of Directors also added its first African American member.

In 2021, the Company increased its number of senior leaders who are racially diverse by 28%. The Company also saw a
5% increase in people managers that are racially diverse. Women in senior leadership and management roles held steady in
2021. As a part of the DE&I strategic roadmap, in 2022 the Company plans to: 1) hire a global DE&I team; 2) embed DE&I
metrics into Executive Leadership Team goals and compensation; 3) review diverse talent quarterly with business leaders; 4)
implement a company-wide inclusive leadership development plan; and 5) actively benchmark progress against competitors and
DE&I best practice partners.

Further, the Company has been conducting pay equity analyses for U.S. employees since 2018 to ensure that employees’
actual pay was substantially similar to their predicted pay. Where appropriate, the Company provided base pay adjustments for
employees that were outliers from their predicted pay, further reinforcing the Company’s commitment to diversity and a culture
of inclusion, equality and respect.

Workplace Health & Safety

The Company is proud to manufacture highly engineered products, including many that have life-saving benefits. Doing
this would not be possible without the systems the Company has developed and implemented to help ensure the health and
safety of its employees, and those who work in the Company’s locations. The first part of this system is the IDEX Employee
Health and Safety (“EHS”) Policy which outlines the Company’s vision to provide an injury free workplace for employees and
prevent pollution of the environment. This is supplemented by the Company’s EHS Framework in which the Company defines
the three pillars of its EHS system, and the nine elements that reside under these pillars. These two documents underpin EHS at
IDEX and assist leadership and employees in meeting the Company’s vision.

The Company also encourages all full-time employees enrolled in the U.S. Healthcare Benefit Plan to participate in the
third-party operated Wellness Program which provides access to annual biometric screenings, health evaluations and wellness
credits that can be earned for meeting individual wellness goals each year. A number of the business units organize
complementary wellness programs, including walking clubs, health fairs and lunch and learns with nutritionists for their
employees.

The Company continued to remain vigilant with its employees’ health and safety in 2021 as it relates to the COVID-19
pandemic. Many of the policies and procedures that were implemented in 2020 were continued or modified as the situation
dictated.

Worker Rights and Protection

The Company believes that a respectful workplace is free from unlawful discrimination and harassment, and this involves
more than just compliance with the law. The Company strives to create a work environment that is free of inappropriate and
unprofessional behavior and consistent with the Company’s values – a place where everyone is invited to do their best every
day and feel free to report any concerns. The Company has policies, procedures and regular training in place to protect its
workforce and prevent workplace harassment and discrimination. This includes a global Code of Business Conduct & Ethics
policy where employees agree to follow and receive annual training. The Company also maintains a global hotline where
employees are encouraged (and can choose to remain anonymous) to report any concerns or issues.

Item 1A.

Risk Factors.

For an enterprise as diverse and complex as the Company, a wide range of factors present risks to the Company and could
materially affect future developments and performance. In addition to the factors affecting specific business operations
identified in connection with the description of the Company’s operations and the financial results of its operations elsewhere in
this report, the most material of these factors are included below. Current global economic events and conditions may amplify
many of these risks. These risks are not the only risks that may affect the Company. Additional risks that the Company is not
aware of or does not believe are material at the time of this filing may also become important factors that adversely affect the
Company’s business.

Risks Related to the Company’s Operations

The Company and its Results of Operations and Financial Condition Have Been and May Continue To Be Materially

Adversely Impacted by the Ongoing COVID-19 Pandemic.

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic continues to be a rapidly-changing situation that has negatively impacted and could
continue to negatively impact the global economy. The extent to which COVID-19 and the emergence of variant strains
continues to impact the Company will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with
confidence, such as the duration of the outbreak and business closures or business disruptions for the Company, its suppliers
and its customers. Any changes in or resurgence of COVID-19 could have a material impact on the Company’s ability to get the
raw materials, parts and components it needs to manufacture its products as its suppliers face disruptions in their businesses,
closures or bankruptcy as a result of COVID-19. The Company depends greatly on its suppliers for items that are essential to
the manufacturing of its products. If its suppliers fail to meet its manufacturing needs in the future, it would delay the
Company’s production and product shipments to customers and negatively affect operations.

The Company has implemented work-from-home policies for certain “non-essential” employees. Although these work-
from-home policies have not negatively impacted the Company in any material respect to date, COVID-19 is dynamic and any
future resurgences could negatively impact productivity, disrupt conduct of the Company’s business in the ordinary course and
delay production timelines. Due to the large remote workforce populations, the Company may also face informational
technology infrastructure and connectivity issues from the vendors that it relies on for certain information technologies to
administer, store and support the Company’s multiple business activities. IDEX is heavily dependent on the availability and
support of its technology landscape, several of which are provided by external third party service providers (e.g., Microsoft,
AT&T and Verizon). Although the Company has not suffered any disruptions to date, any future disruptions in their operations
could also negatively impact the Company and its operating results and financial condition.

To the extent COVID-19 adversely affects the Company and its financial results, it may also have the effect of heightening
many of the other risks described in Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of this annual report, such as those relating to international
operations, the Company’s ability to develop new products, the Company’s ability to execute on its growth strategy of
acquisitions, the Company’s dependency on raw materials, parts and components, the effects on movements in foreign currency
exchange rates on the Company, the effects on the Company that result from declines in commodity prices and the Company’s
reliance on labor availability to operate and grow the business.

The Company’s Inability to Continue to Develop New Products Could Limit Sales Growth.

The Company’s ability to continue to grow organically is tied in large part to its ability to continue to develop new
products. A failure to continue to develop and deliver new, innovative and competitive products to the market could limit sales
growth and negatively impact the Company and its financial condition, results of operations and cash flow.

The Company’s Growth Strategy Includes Acquisitions and the Company May Not be Able to Make Acquisitions of Suitable

Candidates or Integrate Acquisitions Successfully.

The Company’s historical growth has included, and the Company’s future growth is likely to continue to include,
acquisitions. The Company intends to continue to seek acquisition opportunities both to expand into new markets and to
enhance its position in existing markets throughout the world. The Company may not be able to successfully identify suitable
candidates, negotiate appropriate acquisition terms, obtain financing needed to consummate those acquisitions, complete
proposed acquisitions or successfully integrate acquired businesses into its existing operations. In addition, any acquisition,
once successfully integrated, may not perform as planned, be accretive to earnings, or otherwise prove beneficial to the
Company.

14

Acquisitions involve numerous risks, including the assumption of undisclosed or unindemnified liabilities, difficulties in
the assimilation of the operations, technologies, services and products of the acquired companies and the diversion of
management’s attention from other business concerns. In addition, prior acquisitions have resulted in, and future acquisitions
could result in, the incurrence of substantial additional indebtedness and other expenses.

The Markets Served by the Company are Highly Competitive and this Competition Could Reduce Sales and Operating

Margins.

Most of the Company’s products are sold in competitive markets. Maintaining and improving a competitive position will
require continued investment in manufacturing, engineering, quality standards, marketing, customer service and support and
in maintaining its competitive position. The Company’s
distribution networks. The Company may not be successful
competitors may develop products that are superior, may develop methods of more efficiently and effectively providing
products and services or may adapt quicker to new technologies or evolving customer requirements. The Company may not be
able to compete successfully with existing competitors or with new competitors. Pricing pressures may require the Company to
adjust the prices of products to stay competitive. Failure to continue competing successfully could reduce sales, operating
margins and overall financial performance.

The Company is Dependent on the Availability of Raw Materials, Parts and Components Used in Its Products.

While the Company manufactures certain parts and components used in its products, the Company also requires substantial
amounts of raw materials and purchases certain parts and components from suppliers. The availability of and prices for raw
materials, parts and components may be subject to curtailment or change due to, among other things, suppliers’ allocations to
other purchasers, interruptions in production by suppliers, including due to geopolitical or civil unrest, unfavorable economic or
industry conditions, labor disruptions, supply chain disruptions, catastrophic weather events, natural disasters, the occurrence of
a contagious disease or illness, changes in exchange rates and prevailing price levels. Any change in the supply of, or price for,
these raw materials or parts and components could materially affect the Company and its financial condition, results of
operations and cash flow.

The Company’s Business Operations May Be Adversely Affected by Information Systems Interruptions or Intrusion.

The Company depends on various information technologies to administer, store and support multiple business activities. If
these systems (or the systems of the Company’s customers or third-party hosting services) are damaged, cease to function
properly or are subject to cyber-security attacks, such as those involving unauthorized access, malicious software and/or other
intrusions, the Company could experience production downtimes, operational delays, other detrimental impacts on operations
or the ability to provide products and services to its customers, the compromising of confidential or otherwise protected
information, destruction or corruption of data, security breaches, other manipulation or improper use of the Company’s systems
or networks, financial losses from remedial actions, loss of business or potential liability, penalties, fines and/or damage to the
Company’s reputation. While the Company attempts to mitigate these risks by employing a number of measures, including
employee training, technical security controls and maintenance of backup and protective systems, the Company’s systems,
networks, products and services remain potentially vulnerable to known or unknown threats, any of which could have a material
adverse effect on the Company and its financial condition or results of operations. Further, given the unpredictability, nature
and scope of cyber-security attacks, it is possible that potential vulnerabilities could go undetected for an extended period.

Uncertainty Related to Environmental Regulation and Industry Standards, as well as Physical Risks of Climate Change,

Could Impact the Company's Results of Operations and Financial Position.

Increased public awareness and concern regarding environmental risks, including global climate change, may result in
more international, regional and/or federal requirements or industry standards to reduce or mitigate global warming and other
environmental risks. New climate change laws and regulations could require the Company to change its manufacturing
processes or obtain substitute materials that may cost more or be less available for its manufacturing operations. Various
jurisdictions in which the Company does business have implemented, or in the future could implement or amend, restrictions on
emissions of carbon dioxide or other greenhouse gases, limitations or restrictions on water use, the production of single use
plastics, regulations on energy management and waste management and other climate change-based rules and regulations,
which may increase the Company’s expenses and adversely affect its operating results. In addition, the physical risks of climate
change may impact the availability and cost of materials, sources and supply of energy, product demand and manufacturing and
could increase insurance and other operating costs. The expected future increased worldwide regulatory activity relating to
climate change could expand the nature, scope and complexity of matters that the Company is required to control, assess and
report. If environmental laws or regulations or industry standards are either changed or adopted and impose significant
operational restrictions and compliance requirements upon the Company, its suppliers, its customers or its products, or the

15

Company's operations are disrupted due to physical impacts of climate change on the Company, its customers or its suppliers,
the Company's business, results of operations and financial condition could be adversely impacted.

Risks Related to Economic Conditions

A Slowdown in the U.S. or International Economy Could Materially Adversely Affect the Sales and Profitability of the

Company’s Businesses.

In 2021, 48% of the Company’s sales were derived from domestic operations while 52% were derived from international
operations. The Company’s largest end markets include industrial, semiconductor, automotive, life sciences and medical
technologies, fire and rescue, oil and gas, paint and coatings, chemical processing, agriculture, water and wastewater treatment
and optical filters and components. A slowdown in the U.S. or global economy and, in particular, any of these specific end
markets could materially reduce the Company’s sales and profitability.

Changes to Geopolitical and Economic Conditions in the U.S. and Foreign Countries in Which the Company Operates Could

Adversely Affect the Company.

The Company expects international operations and export sales to continue to be significant for the foreseeable future. The
Company’s sales from international operations and sales from export are both subject in varying degrees to risks inherent in
doing business outside the U.S. These risks include the following:

•

•
•
•
•
•

•

•

•

possibility of unfavorable circumstances arising from host country laws or regulations and the risks related to required
compliance with local laws;
risks of economic instability, including due to inflation;
currency exchange rate fluctuations and restrictions on currency repatriation;
potential negative consequences from changes to taxation policies;
disruption of operations from labor and political disturbances;
withdrawal from or renegotiation of international trade agreements and other restrictions on the trade between the
United States and other countries;
the effects of the Trade and Cooperation Agreement between the European Union, the European Atomic Energy
Community and the United Kingdom that was entered into on December 30, 2020 following the United Kingdom’s
decision to exit the European Union;
changes in tariff and trade barriers, including uncertainty caused by the evolving relations between the United States
and China; and
geopolitical events, including natural disasters, climate change, public health issues, political instability (such as
increasing tensions between Ukraine and Russia), terrorism, insurrection or war.

Any of these events could have a materially adverse impact on the Company and its operations.

Significant Movements in Foreign Currency Exchange Rates May Harm the Company’s Financial Results.

The Company is exposed to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, particularly with respect to the Euro, Swiss
Franc, Canadian Dollar, British Pound, Indian Rupee, Chinese Renminbi and Swedish Krona. Any significant change in the
value of the currencies of the countries in which the Company does business against the U.S. Dollar could affect the Company’s
ability to sell products competitively and control its cost structure, which could have a material adverse effect on results of
operations. For additional detail related to this risk, see Part II, Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About
Market Risk.”

Fluctuations in Interest Rates Could Adversely Affect the Company’s Results of Operations and Financial Position.

The Company’s profitability may be adversely affected during any periods of unexpected or rapid increases in interest
rates. The Company maintains a revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”), which bears interest at either an alternate
base rate or adjusted LIBOR plus, in each case, an applicable margin based on the lower of the Company's senior, unsecured,
long-term debt rating or the Company’s applicable leverage ratio. A significant increase in LIBOR or the other rates the
Company has agreed to use as a successor to LIBOR under the Revolving Facility, as amended, would significantly increase the
Company’s cost of borrowings. Further, any changes in regulatory standards or industry practices, such as the ultimate
discontinuation of the use of LIBOR and the transition to alternative benchmark rates may result in the usage of higher interest
rates under the Revolving Facility, and the Company’s current or future indebtedness may be adversely affected. The Company
is also exposed to risks if the U.S. Federal Reserve raises its benchmark interest rate, which may reduce the availability of and

16

increase the cost of obtaining new debt and refinancing existing indebtedness. For additional detail related to this risk, see Part
II, Item 7A, "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk."

A Significant or Sustained Decline in Commodity Prices, Including Oil, Could Negatively Impact the Levels of Expenditures

by Certain of the Company’s Customers.

Demand for the Company’s products depends, in part, on the level of new and planned expenditures by certain of its
customers. The level of expenditures by the Company’s customers is dependent on, among other factors, general economic
conditions, availability of credit, economic conditions within their respective industries and expectations of future market
behavior. Volatility in commodity prices, including oil, can negatively affect the level of these activities and can result in
postponement of capital spending decisions or the delay or cancellation of existing orders. The ability of the Company’s
customers to finance capital investment and maintenance may also be affected by the conditions in their industries. Reduced
demand for the Company’s products could result in the delay or cancellation of existing orders or lead to excess manufacturing
capacity, which unfavorably impacts the absorption of fixed manufacturing costs. This reduced demand could have a material
adverse effect on the Company and its financial condition and results of operations.

Risks Related to Legal, Accounting and Regulatory Matters

An Unfavorable Outcome of Any Pending Contingencies or Litigation Could Adversely Affect the Company.

The Company is currently involved in pending and threatened legal, regulatory and other proceedings arising in the
ordinary course of business. These proceedings may pertain to matters such as product liability or contract disputes, and may
also involve governmental inquiries, inspections, audits or investigations relating to issues such as tax matters, intellectual
property, environmental, health and safety issues, governmental regulations, employment and other matters. Where it is
reasonably possible to do so, the Company accrues estimates of the probable costs for the resolution of these matters. These
estimates are developed in consultation with outside counsel and are based upon an analysis of potential results and the
availability of insurance coverage, assuming a combination of litigation and settlement strategies. It is possible, however, that
future operating results for any particular quarter or annual period could be materially affected by changes in assumptions, the
continued availability of insurance coverage or the effectiveness of the Company’s strategies related to these proceedings. For
additional detail related to this risk, see Item 3, “Legal Proceedings” and Note 11 in Part II, Item 8, “Financial Statements and
Supplementary Data.”

The Company’s Intangible Assets, Including Goodwill, are a Significant Portion of Total Assets and a Write-off of Intangible
Assets or Goodwill Would Adversely Impact the Company’s Operating Results and Significantly Reduce the Company’s Net
Worth.

The Company’s total assets reflect substantial intangible assets, primarily goodwill and identifiable intangible assets. At
December 31, 2021, goodwill and intangible assets totaled $2,167.7 million and $597.3 million, respectively. These assets
primarily result from acquisitions, representing the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the tangible net assets
acquired. Annually, or when certain events occur that require a more current valuation, the Company assesses whether there has
been an impairment in the value of goodwill and identifiable intangible assets. If future operating performance at one or more of
the Company’s reporting units were to fall significantly below forecasted levels, the Company could be required to reflect,
under current applicable accounting rules, a non-cash charge to operating income for an impairment. Any determination
requiring the write-off of a significant portion of goodwill or identifiable intangible assets would adversely impact the
Company’s results of operations and net worth. See Note 6 in Part II, Item 8, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data”
for further discussion on goodwill and intangible assets.

Failure To Comply with the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the U.K. Bribery Act or Other Applicable Anti-bribery Laws

Could Have an Adverse Effect on the Company.

The U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the U.K. Bribery Act and similar anti-bribery laws in other jurisdictions generally
prohibit companies and their intermediaries from making improper payments for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business.
Recent years have seen a substantial increase in anti-bribery law enforcement activity with more frequent and aggressive
investigations and enforcement proceedings by both the Department of Justice and the SEC, increased enforcement activity by
non-U.S. regulators and increases in criminal and civil proceedings brought against companies and individuals. The Company’s
policies mandate compliance with all anti-bribery laws. However, the Company operates in certain countries that are recognized
as having governmental and commercial corruption. The Company’s internal control policies and procedures may not always
protect it from reckless or criminal acts committed by employees or third-party intermediaries. Violations of these anti-bribery

17

laws may result in criminal or civil sanctions, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company and its financial
condition and results of operations.

General Risk Factors

The Company’s Success Depends on Its Executive Management and Other Key Personnel.

The Company’s future success depends to a significant degree on the skills, experience and efforts of its executive
management and other key personnel and their ability to provide the Company with uninterrupted leadership and direction. The
loss of the services of any of the executive officers or a failure to provide adequate succession plans for key personnel could
have an adverse impact on the Company. The availability of highly qualified talent is limited and the competition for talent is
robust. However, the Company provides long-term equity awards and certain other benefits for its executive officers which
provides incentives for them to make a commitment to the Company. The Company’s future success will depend on its ability
to have adequate succession plans in place and to attract, retain and develop qualified personnel. A failure to efficiently replace
executive management members and other key personnel and to attract, retain and develop new qualified personnel could have
an adverse effect on the Company’s operations and implementation of its strategic plan.

Challenges with Respect to Labor Availability Could Negatively Impact the Company’s Ability to Operate or Grow the

Business.

The Company’s success depends in part on the ability of its businesses to proactively attract, motivate and retain a qualified
and highly skilled workforce in an intensely competitive labor market. A failure to attract, motivate and retain highly skilled
personnel could adversely affect the Company’s operating results or its ability to operate or grow the business. Additionally,
any labor stoppages or labor disruptions, including due to geopolitical unrest, unfavorable economic or industry conditions,
catastrophic weather events, natural disasters or the occurrence of a contagious disease or illness could adversely affect the
Company’s operating results or its ability to operate or grow the business.

Item 2.

Properties.

The Company conducts business at plants and offices that can be owned or leased and located in the U.S. or outside the
U.S., with square footage primarily in Germany (12%), U.K. (6%), Italy (5%), India (3%), China (2%), Canada (2%) and The
Netherlands (2%). The Company has invested a significant amount of capital to expand both the China and India facilities that
will ultimately double the Company’s historic capacity in each of these countries. Otherwise, management considers its
facilities suitable and adequate for the Company’s operations and believes the Company can meet demand increases over the
near term with its existing facilities, especially given its operational improvement initiatives that usually increase capacity.

Item 3.

Legal Proceedings.

The Company and its subsidiaries are party to legal proceedings as described in Note 11 in Part II, Item 8, “Commitments

and Contingencies,” and such disclosure is incorporated by reference into this Item 3, “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 six of its subsidiaries are presently named as defendants in a number of lawsuits claiming
various asbestos-related personal injuries, allegedly as a result of exposure to products manufactured with components that
contained asbestos. These components were acquired from third party suppliers and were not manufactured by 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.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Consolidated Financial
Statements and related notes in this annual 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 selected 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” and elsewhere in this annual report.

This discussion includes certain non-GAAP financial measures that have been defined and reconciled to their most directly
comparable U.S. GAAP measures later in this Item under the headings “Non-GAAP Disclosures” and “Free Cash Flow.” This
discussion also includes Operating working capital which has been defined later in this Item under the heading “Cash Flow
Summary.” 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.

2021 Overview

IDEX is an applied solutions provider specializing in the manufacture 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 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 important factors that influence the demand for IDEX’s products.

In 2021, the Company achieved a record year in sales, earnings per share and capital deployment as robust demand,
targeted growth initiatives and the ability to capture price drove a strong rebound from 2020. Throughout the year, teams
steadily navigated continued headwinds arising from material availability,
logistical challenges and pandemic-related
absenteeism exacerbated by the emergence of new COVID-19 variants. Despite these challenges, the Company expanded
operating margin in a highly inflationary environment as previous investments to optimize cost position and productivity
initiatives delivered value together with diligent price capture where possible. Finally, the Company delivered strong cash flow
and deployed record capital, both within its existing portfolio and with the addition of ABEL and Airtech to the IDEX family of
businesses.

Select key financial results for the year ended December 31, 2021 when compared to 2020 were as follows:

•

•
•
•

•

•

•

Sales of $2.8 billion increased 18%; organic sales (which excludes acquisitions/divestitures and foreign currency
translation) were up 12%.
Operating income of $637.0 million increased 22%. Adjusted operating income increased 23% to $661.4 million.
Operating margin of 23.0% was up 90 basis points. Adjusted operating margin increased 110 basis points to 23.9%.
Net income attributable to IDEX of $449.4 million increased 19%. Adjusted net income attributable to IDEX increased
21% to $481.6 million.
EBITDA of $723.8 million was 26% of sales and covered interest expense by almost 18 times. Adjusted EBITDA of
$765.4 million was 28% of sales and covered interest expense by almost 19 times.
Diluted EPS attributable to IDEX of $5.88 increased $0.94, or 19%. Adjusted EPS attributable to IDEX of $6.30
increased $1.11, or 21%.
Cash flows provided by operating activities of $565.3 million was flat as strong operating results were offset by
volume-driven increases in working capital. Free cash flow of $492.6 million was 102% of adjusted net income
attributable to IDEX.

Focus and Outlook for 2022

During 2022, the Company’s primary focus will be to:

•

Navigate the Short Term while Innovating for the Future. Demand for the Company’s differentiated technology
remains strong. However, the degree to which the difficult supply chain and COVID-19 environment will persist
remains highly variable, and the Company will continue to navigate the day-to-day operational challenges posed by
external conditions. At the same time, the Company remains focused on the longer-term. The Company will continue
to support efficient, innovative, value-creating processes and invest in resources necessary to ensure its businesses are
well-positioned to take advantage of the growth potential ahead.

22

•

•

Build Great Global Teams. The Company is committed to its core values and will continue to develop top performing
teams. DE&I remains an area of focus as the Company looks to continue its trajectory in creating environments where
people feel like they belong and are comfortable bringing their true selves to work.
Deploy Capital. The Company deployed record capital in 2021 and has identified several organic investment
opportunities that will result in even higher capital spending in 2022. Additionally, the pipeline for potential
acquisitions continues to be strong. The Company anticipates deploying additional capital in 2022 to acquire IDEX-
like businesses to further strengthen its portfolio.

Sales increased 18%, reflecting a 12% increase in organic sales, a 4% increase from acquisitions (Airtech - June 2021,
ABEL - March 2021 and Flow MD - February 2020) and a 2% favorable impact from foreign currency translation. Sales
increased 15% domestically and 20% internationally, and sales to customers outside the U.S. were approximately 52% and 51%
of total sales in 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Cost of sales increased due to higher sales volume and cost inflation. Both gross profit and gross margin increased
primarily due to volume leverage, partially offset by higher fair value inventory step-up charges related to acquisitions.
Additionally, gross profit increased as a result of favorable price/cost.

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses increased primarily due to higher variable compensation and

employee-related costs, higher amortization from acquisitions and higher acquisition expenses.

The Company incurred restructuring expenses and asset impairments in 2021 and 2020 primarily related to severance

benefits for cost reduction actions as well as asset impairments related to the consolidation of certain facilities.

Operating income increased 22%, reflecting a 20% increase in organic operating income, a 1% favorable impact from
lower restructuring costs and a 2% favorable impact from foreign currency translation, partially offset by a 1% decrease driven
by higher amortization and fair value inventory step-up charges related to acquisitions (Airtech - June 2021, ABEL - March

23

2021 and Flow MD - February 2020). The increase in organic operating income is primarily due to higher volume leverage and
favorable price/cost, partially offset by incremental resource investments and targeted discretionary spending.

Operating margin increased 90 basis points, reflecting a 170 basis point increase in organic operating margin and a 10 basis
point favorable impact from lower restructuring costs, partially offset by a 90 basis point decrease due to acquisitions, which
was driven by higher amortization and fair value inventory step-up charges. The increase in organic operating margin is
primarily due to higher volume leverage, partially offset by incremental resource investments and targeted discretionary
spending.

Other expense - net increased primarily due to an $8.6 million noncash loss related to the termination of the U.S. pension
plan, net of curtailment, and $2.3 million of higher losses on trading securities in 2021. Other expense - net includes a loss on
early debt redemption of $8.6 million in 2021 and $8.4 million in 2020.

Interest expense decreased primarily due to lower interest rates on the Company’s indebtedness, partially offset by an

increase in the amount of debt outstanding compared with 2020.

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 and the effective tax rate increased as compared with 2020 due to a lower
excess tax benefit related to share-based compensation in 2021 and the absence of a benefit from the finalization of the Global
Intangible Low-Tax Income (“GILTI”) regulations that favorably impacted the 2020 effective tax rate.

(1) Acquisitions included ABEL in March 2021 and Flow MD in February 2020. Based on the timing of its acquisition,
Flow MD results for the first quarter of 2021 are reflected in the acquisitions/divestitures column while the remaining year-
over-year fluctuation is included in the organic column.

•

•

•

The change in organic sales was attributed to increases in the Pumps reporting unit due to recovery within the
industrial market, in the Water reporting unit due to recovery of the municipal water market and water-saving growth
projects and in the Agriculture reporting unit due to increased global demand, partially offset by a decrease in the
Energy reporting unit due to a decline in capital spending in the oil and gas markets.
Sales increased 5% domestically and 19% internationally. Sales to customers outside the U.S. were approximately
47% and 44% of total segment sales in 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Operating margin of 26.0% decreased 20 basis points compared with 26.2% in 2020. The change in operating margin
was attributed to the following:

◦

◦

Organic operating margin increased 80 basis points due to higher volume leverage, favorable price/cost and a
fair value inventory step-up charge in 2020 related to the Flow MD acquisition that did not reoccur in 2021,
partially offset by increases to inventory reserves associated with COVID-19 new product development
opportunities not materializing and resource investments.
Acquisitions negatively impacted operating margin by 110 basis points due to:

•

•

•

A $2.5 million fair value inventory step-up charge related to the ABEL acquisition, which lowered
operating margin by 20 basis points;
Incremental intangible asset amortization from the ABEL and Flow MD acquisitions of $4.0 million,
which negatively impacted operating margin by 40 basis points; and
The dilutive impact from acquisitions on overall FMT operating margin, which was primarily driven
by the Flow MD acquisition.

◦

◦

Organic operating margin increased 410 basis points due to volume leverage and favorable price/cost,
partially offset by targeted reinvestment.
Acquisitions negatively impacted operating margin by 130 basis points due to the contributions of the Airtech
business, which were more than offset by:

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity

Although the COVID-19 pandemic (including the emergence of variant strains) has impacted and may continue to impact
the Company’s operating cash flows, 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 operating cash requirements, 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.

At December 31, 2021, working capital was $1,198.0 million and the Company’s current ratio was 3.5 to 1. At December
31, 2021, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents totaled $855.4 million, of which $457.5 million was held outside of the
United States. At December 31, 2021, there was no balance outstanding under the Revolving Facility and $7.2 million of
outstanding letters of credit, resulting in a net available borrowing capacity under the Revolving Facility of $792.8 million. The
Company believes that additional borrowings through various financing alternatives remain available, if required.

and foreign currency translation impacts primarily driving a net $44.4 million of the increase. Excluding these impacts, the
increase in accounts receivables was $49.4 million, driven by higher revenues as demand rebounded from 2020 levels;
inventories increased $46.1 million to address higher demand and build safety stock to support production amid supply chain
difficulties; and trade accounts payable increased $22.9 million as a result of timing of inventory purchases.

Investing Activities

Cash flows used in investing activities increased $525.5 million to $698.1 million in 2021, primarily due to higher cash
outflows for acquisitions with the addition of ABEL and Airtech in 2021 compared to Flow MD in 2020, for the purchase of
marketable securities and for capital expenditures which significantly increased as the Company is expanding both its China
and India facilities.

Financing Activities

Cash flows used in financing activities decreased $33.1 million to $9.5 million in 2021. During 2021, the Company issued
$500.0 million of 2.2625% Senior Notes and redeemed $350.0 million of 4.2% Senior Notes due December 2021 and increased
its quarterly cash dividend to $0.54, resulting in dividend payments of $161.1 million. During 2020, the Company issued
$500.0 million of 3.0% Senior Notes and redeemed $300.0 million of 4.5% Senior Notes due December 2020, paid $151.8
million in dividends and repurchased 0.9 million shares at a cost of $110.3 million.

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 planned capital expenditures,
interest and principal payments on all borrowings and quarterly dividend payments to holders of the Company’s common stock
as well as for funding acquisitions. Free cash flow is calculated as cash flows provided by operating activities less capital
expenditures.

The following table reconciles free cash flow to cash flows provided by operating activities:

The decrease in free cash flow as compared to 2020 is due to a volume-driven build in working capital and higher

investments in growth projects in 2021, including capital expenditures related to the expansion of facilities in China and India.

Cash Requirements

Pending Acquisitions

As previously announced, on November 23, 2021, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Nexsight,
LLC and its businesses for cash consideration of $120.0 million. The Company expects to close the transaction by the end of
the first quarter of 2022, subject to regulatory approval and customary closing conditions.

Contractual Obligations

The Company’s contractual obligations include borrowings and related interest, purchase obligations, pension and post-
retirement medical benefit plans, rental payments under operating leases, payments under capital leases, a transition tax payable
and other obligations arising in the ordinary course of business (such as acquisition commitments). There are no identifiable
events or uncertainties, including the lowering of the Company’s credit rating, which would accelerate payment or maturity of
any of these commitments or obligations. For a description of the funding requirements related to the Company’s contractual
obligations, refer to Note 4 (transition tax payable), Note 7 (borrowings and related interest), Note 10 (lease obligations), Note
18 (pension and post-retirement obligations) and Note 19 (acquisition commitments) in the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements, respectively. As of December 31, 2021, the Company’s purchase obligations, consisting primarily of inventory
commitments, totaled approximately $347.4 million, of which $320.4 million is expected to be settled during 2022 and the
remainder thereafter.

Capital Expenditures

Cash flows from operations were more than adequate to fund capital expenditures of $72.7 million and $51.6 million in
2021 and 2020, respectively. The Company believes it has sufficient operating cash flow to continue to meet current obligations
and invest in planned capital expenditures. Capital expenditures are generally expenditures for machinery and equipment that
support growth and improved productivity, tooling, business system technology, replacement of equipment and investments in
new facilities. The Company has invested a significant amount of capital to expand both the China and India facilities that will
ultimately double the Company’s historic capacity in each of these countries. Otherwise, management believes that the
Company has ample capacity in its plants and equipment to meet demand increases for future growth in the intermediate term.

Covenants

There are two key financial covenants that the Company is required to maintain in connection with the Revolving Facility
and the 2016 Private Placement Notes, a minimum interest coverage ratio of 3.0 to 1 and a maximum leverage ratio of 3.50 to
1. At December 31, 2021, the Company was in compliance with both of these financial covenants, as the Company’s interest
coverage ratio was 20.12 to 1 for covenant calculation purposes and the leverage ratio was 1.52 to 1. There are no financial
covenants relating to the 2.625% Senior Notes or the 3.00% Senior Notes; however, both are subject to cross-default provisions.
For a discussion of the Company’s Revolving Facility and Senior Notes as well as the associated covenants, refer to Note 7 in
the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Credit Ratings

The Company’s credit ratings, which were independently developed by the following credit agencies, are detailed below:

• S&P Global Ratings affirmed the Company’s corporate credit rating of BBB (stable outlook) in June 2021.

• Moody’s Investors Service affirmed the Company’s corporate credit rating of Baa2 (stable outlook) in December

2021.

• Fitch Ratings affirmed the Company’s corporate credit rating of BBB+ (stable outlook) in March 2021.

Share Repurchases

There were no share repurchases in 2021. The Company repurchased 0.9 million shares at a cost of $110.3 million in 2020.
As of December 31, 2021, the amount of share repurchase authorization remaining was $712.0 million. For additional
information regarding the Company’s share repurchase program, refer to Note 12 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements.

28

Dividends

The Company increased its quarterly cash dividend by 8% from $0.50 per common share in 2020 to $0.54 per common
share in 2021. Total dividend payments to common shareholders were $161.1 million in 2021 compared with $151.8 million in
2020.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The Company believes that the application of the following accounting policy, which is important to its financial position
and results of operations, requires significant judgments and estimates on the part of management. For a summary of all of the
Company’s accounting policies, including the accounting policy discussed below, see Note 1 in the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.”

Goodwill and intangible assets — The Company’s business acquisitions result in recording goodwill and other intangible
assets, which affect the amount of amortization expense and possible impairment expense that the Company will incur in future
periods. The Company evaluates the recoverability of certain noncurrent assets utilizing various estimation processes. The
Company follows the guidance prescribed in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 350, Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets, to test goodwill and intangible assets for impairment. The Company determines the fair value of each reporting unit
utilizing an income approach (discounted cash flows) weighted 50% and a market approach (consisting of a comparable public
company multiples methodology) weighted 50%. The Company uses the relief-from-royalty method, a form of the income
approach, to determine the fair value of its indefinite-lived intangible assets. The relief-from-royalty method is dependent on a
number of significant management assumptions, including estimates of revenues, royalty rates and discount rates. To determine
the reasonableness of the calculated fair values, the Company reviews the assumptions to ensure that neither the income
approach nor the market approach yielded significantly different valuations. Based on the results of the Company’s annual
impairment test at October 31, 2021, all reporting units had fair values substantially in excess of their carrying values.

The key assumptions are updated every year for each reporting unit for the income and market approaches used to determine
the fair value. Various assumptions are utilized including forecasted operating results, annual operating plans, strategic plans,
economic projections, anticipated future cash flows, the weighted average cost of capital, market data and market multiples.
The assumptions that have the most significant effect on the fair value calculations are the weighted average cost of capital,
market multiples, forecasted EBITDA and terminal growth rates. The following assumption ranges were utilized by the
Company in 2021 and 2020:

Assumptions
Weighted average cost of capital

Market multiples

Terminal growth rates

Non-GAAP Disclosures

Set forth below are reconciliations of each of Organic sales, Adjusted gross profit (and adjusted gross margin), Adjusted
operating income (and adjusted operating margin), Adjusted net income attributable to IDEX, Adjusted diluted earnings per
share (“EPS”) attributable to IDEX, Earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) and
Adjusted EBITDA to its 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, such as fair value inventory
step-up charges, restructuring expenses and asset impairments, the impact of the settlement for a corporate transaction
indemnity, losses on early debt redemptions and the loss related to the termination of the U.S. pension plan, net of curtailment.
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. The reconciliation of segment EBITDA and Adjusted segment EBITDA to net income was
performed on a consolidated basis due to the fact that the Company does not allocate consolidated interest expense or the
consolidated provision for income taxes to its segments.

This report references organic sales and organic operating income, non-GAAP measures, that exclude (1) the impact of
foreign currency translation and (2) sales and operating income, respectively, from acquired or divested businesses during the
first 12 months of ownership or prior to divestiture. The portion of sales and operating income attributable to foreign currency
translation is calculated as the difference between (a) the period-to-period change in organic sales and organic operating
income, respectively, and (b) the period-to-period change in organic sales and organic operating income, respectively, after
applying prior period foreign exchange rates to the current year period. Management believes that reporting organic sales and
organic operating income provides useful information to investors by helping to identify underlying growth trends in the
Company’s business and facilitating easier comparisons of the Company’s revenue and operating performance with prior and
future periods and to its peers. The Company excludes the effect of foreign currency translation from organic sales and organic
operating income 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 they can obscure
underlying business trends and make comparisons of long-term performance difficult due to the varying nature, size and
number of transactions from period to period and between the Company and its peers.

Given the acquisitive nature of the Company, which results in a higher level of amortization expense from recently
acquired businesses, management uses EBITDA as an internal operating metric to provide another representation of the
businesses’ performance across the Company’s 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 the Company’s industry. Management believes that EBITDA
margin is useful for the same reason as EBITDA. EBITDA is also used to calculate certain financial covenants, as discussed in
Note 7 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data”
such as EBITDA interest coverage, which is EBITDA divided by consolidated interest expense. In addition, this report presents
Adjusted EBITDA, which is EBITDA adjusted for items that are not reflective of ongoing operations as discussed above and
Adjusted EBITDA interest coverage, which is Adjusted EBITDA divided by consolidated interest expense. Management
believes that Adjusted EBITDA is useful as a performance indicator of ongoing operations. The Company believes that
Adjusted EBITDA is also useful to some investors as an indicator of the strength and performance of the Company and its
segments’ ongoing business operations and a way to evaluate and compare operating performance and value companies within
the Company’s industry. 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 “Cash Flow Summary.”

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.

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,
describes the 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 financial or commodity derivative 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. As of December 31, 2021, the Company did not have any derivative instruments outstanding.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rates

The Company’s foreign currency exchange rate risk is limited principally to the Euro, Swiss Franc, British Pound,
Canadian Dollar, Indian Rupee, Chinese Renminbi and Swedish Krona. The Company manages its foreign exchange risk
principally through invoicing customers in the same currency as the source of products. The foreign currency transaction losses
for the periods ending December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 were $1.1 million, $3.0 million and $3.3 million, respectively, and
are reported within Other expense - net on the Consolidated Statements of Income. See Note 1 in Part II, Item 8, “Financial
Statements and Supplementary Data,” for further discussion.

Interest Rate Fluctuations

The Company does not have significant interest rate exposure due to all of the $1,200.1 million of debt outstanding as of
December 31, 2021 being fixed rate debt. The Company’s Revolving Facility bears interest at either an alternate base rate or
adjusted LIBOR plus, in each case, an applicable margin. At December 31, 2021, there was no balance outstanding under the
Revolving Facility.

Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.

MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal
control over financial reporting is a process to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and
the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America, and as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f).

Internal control over financial reporting cannot provide absolute assurance of achieving financial reporting objectives
because of its inherent limitations. Because of such limitations, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented
or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting.

Management has used the framework set forth in the report entitled “Internal Control — Integrated Framework” (2013)
issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission to assess the effectiveness of the
Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Management excluded ABEL and Airtech (Note 2 - Acquisitions) from its
assessment of internal controls over financial reporting as these acquisitions occurred in 2021. This exclusion is in accordance
with the general guidance from the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission that an assessment of a recently acquired
business may be omitted from the scope of management’s assessment of internal control over financial reporting for one year
following the acquisition. The total assets (excluding goodwill and intangible assets) and net sales of current year acquisitions
represented were approximately 2 percent and 3 percent, respectively, of the consolidated financial statement amounts as of and
for the year ended December 31, 2021. Based on that assessment, management has concluded that the Company’s internal
control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2021.

The effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, has been audited by

Deloitte & Touche LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which appears herein.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the shareholders and the Board of Directors of IDEX Corporation

Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of IDEX Corporation and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of
December 31, 2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee
of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material
respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on criteria established in Internal
Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by COSO.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States)
(PCAOB), the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021, of the Company and our
report dated February 24, 2022, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.

As described in Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting, management excluded ABEL and Airtech
from its assessment of internal control over financial reporting as these acquisitions occurred in the twelve months ended
December 31, 2021. The combined net sales and total assets of these acquisitions represented approximately 3 percent and 2
percent, respectively, of the consolidated financial statement amounts as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021.
Accordingly, our audit did not include the internal control over financial reporting at these acquired companies.

Basis for Opinion

The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its
assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report
on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control
over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be
independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the
audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all
material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk
that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the
assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit
provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures
that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and
dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit
preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and
expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the
company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or
disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also,
projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate
because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the shareholders and the Board of Directors of IDEX Corporation

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of IDEX Corporation and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of
December 31, 2021 and 2020, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, equity, and cash flows,
for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2021, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the
"financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years
in the period ended December 31, 2021, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States)
(PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on criteria established in
Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission and our report dated February 24, 2022, expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company's internal control over
financial reporting.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are
required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the
audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to
error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial
statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included
examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included
evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matter

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that
was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that
are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The
communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and
we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the
accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Revenue - Disaggregation of Revenue - Refer to Note 5 to the Financial Statements

Critical Audit Matter Description

The Company is a highly diversified business with a wide range of products and services that are offered in various markets
throughout the world. The Company’s business activities are carried out by numerous individual business units, which offer a
unique set of products and include niche markets within specific geographic areas.

We identified revenue as a critical audit matter given the disaggregated nature of the Company’s operations and business units
generating revenue. This required extensive audit effort due to the volume of the underlying transactions and distinctiveness of
each individual business unit. High levels of auditor judgment were necessary to determine the nature, timing, and extent of
audit procedures and the level of disaggregation within the Company at which to perform such procedures, especially given
limited market data for certain products or geographic areas.

How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit

Our audit procedures related to the Company’s revenue transactions included the following, among others:

38

• We tested internal controls within the relevant revenue business processes, including controls over revenue recognition

and controls over the review of significant revenue transactions and operating results.

•

•

•

For a sample of revenue transactions, we performed detail transaction testing by agreeing the amounts recorded to
source documents and determined that revenue was recognized appropriately.

For the revenue populations subject to detail testing, we tested the completeness of revenue by making selections from
reciprocal populations (e.g., shipping logs) and determined whether the transaction was recorded as a sale in the
general ledger.

For revenue transactions not subject to detail transaction testing, we aggregated the revenue transactions at the
reporting unit level and performed substantive analytical procedures. We developed independent expectations of
revenue based on data derived from published industry indices and market and customer trends and compared our
independent expectations to the revenue recorded by management.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Significant Accounting Policies

Business

banding and clamping devices and precision equipment for dispensing, metering and mixing colorants and paints. These
products and services are grouped into three reportable segments: Fluid & Metering Technologies (“FMT”), Health & Science
Technologies (“HST”) and Fire & Safety/Diversified Products (“FSDP”).

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and

accounts have been eliminated.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The principal areas of estimation reflected in the financial statements
are revenue recognition, sales returns and allowances, allowance for doubtful accounts, allowance for credit losses, inventory
valuation, recoverability of long-lived assets, valuation of goodwill and intangible assets, income taxes, product warranties,
contingencies and litigation, insurance-related items, defined benefit retirement plans and purchase accounting related to
acquisitions.

Revenue Recognition

The Company accounts for a contract with a customer when it has approval from both parties, the rights and payment terms
are identified, the contract has commercial substance and collectability of the consideration is probable. The Company
determines the appropriate revenue recognition by analyzing the terms and conditions of the contract. Revenue is recognized
when control of products or services is transferred to a customer in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company
expects to be entitled to in exchange for transferring the products or providing the services. Control is transferred to customers
when performance obligations within a contract are satisfied. A performance obligation is a promise to transfer a distinct
product or service to a customer.

For contracts that require complex design, manufacturing and installation activities, certain performance obligations may
not be separately identifiable and, therefore, not distinct. As a result, the entire contract is accounted for as a single performance
obligation. For contracts that include distinct products or services that are substantially the same and have the same pattern of
transfer to the customer over time, they are recognized as a series of distinct products or services. Certain contracts have
multiple performance obligations for which the Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation using
an estimate of the standalone selling price of each distinct product or service and recognizes as revenue when, or as, the
performance obligation is satisfied. For product sales, each product sold to a customer generally represents a distinct
performance obligation. In such cases, the observable standalone sales are used to determine the standalone selling price. In
certain cases, the Company may be required to estimate the standalone selling price using the expected cost plus margin
approach, under which it forecasts the expected costs of satisfying a performance obligation and then adds an appropriate
margin for the distinct product or service.

45

The Company’s performance obligations are satisfied at either a point in time or over time as work progresses. Revenue
recognized at a point in time is approximately 95% while revenue recognized over time is approximately 5%. For performance
obligations satisfied at a point in time, generally revenue recognition occurs with the transfer of control of the asset, which is in
line with shipping terms. For performance obligations satisfied over time, revenue is recognized as work is performed based on
the relationship between actual costs incurred to date for each contract and the total estimated costs for such contract at
completion of the performance obligation (i.e. the cost-to-cost method) or ratably over the contract term for service revenue.
The Company defines service revenue as revenue from activities that are not associated with the design, development or
manufacture of a product or the delivery of a software license.

When accounting for over-time contracts, the Company uses an input measure to determine the extent of progress towards
completion of the performance obligation. The Company believes this measure of progress best depicts the transfer of control to
the customer which occurs as the Company incurs costs on its contracts. Incurred cost represents work performed, which
corresponds with the transfer of control to the customer. Contract costs include labor, material and overhead. Contract estimates
are based on various assumptions to project the outcome of future events. These assumptions include labor productivity and
availability;
the performance of
subcontractors; and the availability and timing of funding from the customer. Revenues, including estimated fees or profits, are
recorded proportionally as costs are incurred.

the complexity of the work to be performed;

the cost and availability of materials;

As a significant change in one or more of these estimates could affect the profitability of the Company’s contracts, the
Company reviews and updates its estimates regularly. Due to uncertainties inherent in the estimation process, it is reasonably
possible that completion costs, including those arising from contract penalty provisions and final contract settlements, will be
revised. Such revisions to costs and income are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined as a cumulative
catch-up adjustment. The impact of the adjustment on profit recorded to date on a contract is recognized in the period the
adjustment is identified. Revenue and profit in future periods of contract performance are recognized using the adjusted
estimate. If at any time the estimate of contract profitability indicates an anticipated loss on the contract, the Company
recognizes provisions for estimated losses on incomplete contracts in the period in which such losses are determined.

The Company records allowances for discounts and product returns at the time of sale as a reduction of revenue as such
allowances can be reliably estimated based on historical experience and known trends. The Company also offers product
warranties (primarily assurance-type) and accrues its estimated exposure for warranty claims at the time of sale based upon the
length of the warranty period, warranty costs incurred and any other related information known to the Company.

Shipping and Handling Costs

Shipping and handling costs are included in Cost of sales and are recognized as a period expense during the period in

which they are incurred.

Advertising Costs

Advertising costs of $10.7 million, $9.9 million and $15.7 million for 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively, are expensed as

incurred within Selling, general and administrative expenses.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of 3 months or less to be cash

and cash equivalents.

Marketable Securities

The Company holds investments in marketable securities, which are recorded in Other current assets in the Consolidated
Balance Sheets. These investments are recorded at fair value, with gains and losses, dividends and interest income included in
Other expense - net in the Consolidated Statements of Income. See Note 9 for further discussion on the marketable securities
held by the Company.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Accounts receivable are recorded at face amount less an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company maintains an
allowance for doubtful accounts for expected losses as a result of customers’ inability to make required payments. Management
evaluates the aging of the accounts receivable balances, the financial condition of its customers, historical trends and the time

46

outstanding of specific balances to estimate the amount of accounts receivable that may not be collected in the future and
records the appropriate provision.

Inventories

The Company states inventories at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost, which includes material, labor and
overhead, is determined on a first in, first out basis. The Company makes adjustments to reduce the cost of inventory to its net
realizable value, if required, for estimated excess, obsolete, zero usage or impaired balances. Factors influencing these
adjustments include changes in market demand, product life cycle and engineering changes.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

A long-lived asset is reviewed for impairment if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not
reduce the fair value of the asset below its carrying value, as measured by comparing its net book value to the projected
undiscounted future cash flows generated by its use. A long-lived asset impairment exists when the carrying value of the asset
exceeds its fair value. The amount and timing of the impairment charge for an asset requires the estimation of future cash flows
to determine the fair value of the asset. An impaired asset is recorded at its estimated fair value based on a discounted cash flow
analysis. Refer to Note 15 for further discussion on impairment of long-lived assets.

Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets

Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 350, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, requires that the Company review
the carrying value of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets annually, or if an event occurs or circumstances change that
would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value. The Company evaluates the
recoverability of these assets as of October 31 based on the estimated fair value of each of the 13 reporting units and the
indefinite-lived intangible assets. See Note 6 for further discussion on goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets.

Borrowing Expenses

Expenses incurred in securing and issuing debt are capitalized and included as a reduction of Long-term borrowings. These
amounts are amortized over the life of the related borrowing and the related amortization is included in Interest expense in the
Consolidated Statements of Income.

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 shares of common stock (basic) plus common stock equivalents outstanding (diluted)
during the year. 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 and performance share units.

ASC 260, Earnings per Share, 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 determined that its outstanding shares of restricted stock are participating securities. Accordingly,
diluted EPS attributable to IDEX was computed using the two-class method prescribed by ASC 260.

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

Basic weighted average common shares outstanding

Dilutive effect of stock options, restricted stock and performance share units

Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding

Options to purchase approximately 0.3 million shares of common stock in each of 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively, were
not included in the computation of diluted EPS attributable to IDEX because the effect of their inclusion would have been
antidilutive.

47

Share-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for share-based payments in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation.
Accordingly, the Company expenses the fair value of awards made under its share-based compensation plans. That cost is
recognized in the consolidated financial statements over the requisite service period of the grants. See Note 16 for further
discussion on share-based compensation.

Depreciation and Amortization

Property and equipment are stated at cost, with depreciation and amortization provided using the straight-line method over

the following estimated useful lives:

Land improvements

Buildings and improvements

Machinery, equipment and other

Office and transportation equipment

8 to 12 years

8 to 30 years

3 to 12 years

2 to 10 years

Certain identifiable intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method. The

estimated useful lives used in the computation of amortization of identifiable intangible assets are as follows:

Patents

Trade names

Customer relationships

Unpatented technology

Research and Development Expenditures

5 to 15 years

5 to 20 years

9 to 20 years

7 to 20 years

Costs associated with engineering activities, including research and development, are expensed in the period incurred and

are included in Cost of sales.

Total engineering expenses, which include research and development as well as application and support engineering, were
$82.9 million, $82.3 million and $92.4 million in 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Research and development expenses,
which include costs associated with developing new products and major improvements to existing products, were $50.1 million,
$48.2 million and $56.4 million in 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Foreign Currency Translation and Transaction

The functional currency of substantially all operations outside the United States is the respective local currency.
Accordingly, those foreign currency balance sheet accounts have been translated using the exchange rates in effect as of the
balance sheet date and the income statement amounts have been translated using the average monthly exchange rates for the
year. Translation adjustments from year to year have been reported in Accumulated other comprehensive loss in the
Consolidated Balance Sheets. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses from transactions denominated in a currency other
than the functional currency of the subsidiary involved are reported within Other expense - net in the Consolidated Statements
of Income. Net losses for the years ending December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 were $1.1 million, $3.0 million and $3.3 million,
respectively.

Income Taxes

Income tax expense includes U.S., state, local and international income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
recognized for the tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and the tax bases of existing
assets and liabilities and for loss carryforwards. The tax rate used to determine the deferred tax assets and liabilities is the
enacted tax rate for the year and the manner in which the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are recorded
to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that will more likely than not be realized. See Note 13 for further discussion on
income taxes.

48

Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company is not dependent on a single customer as its largest customer accounted for less than 3% of net sales for all

years presented.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)
2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which eliminates the need to analyze whether the following apply in a
given period (1) exception to the incremental approach for intraperiod tax allocation, (2) exceptions to accounting for basis
differences when there are ownership changes in foreign investments and (3) exceptions in interim period income tax
accounting for year-to-date losses that exceed anticipated losses. This ASU is also designed to improve the application of
income tax-related guidance and simplify U.S. GAAP for (1) franchise taxes that are partially based on income, (2) transactions
with a government that result in a step-up in the tax basis of goodwill, (3) separate financial statements of legal entities that are
not subject to tax and (4) enacted changes in tax laws in interim periods. The Company adopted this standard on January 1,
2021. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and
Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers, which adds contract assets and contract liabilities to the list of exceptions
to the recognition and measurement principles that apply to business combinations and requires that an acquirer recognize and
measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with revenue recognition
guidance. ASU 2021-08 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022 and interim periods therein. Early
adoption is permitted. Entities should apply the ASU’s provisions prospectively to business combinations occurring on or after
the effective date of the amendments. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s
consolidated financial statements.

In November 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-10, Government Assistance (ASC 832): Disclosures by Business Entities
about Government Assistance, which requires entities to provide certain annual disclosures when they (1) have received
government assistance and (2) use a grant or contribution accounting model by analogy to other accounting guidance. ASU
2021-10 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021. Early adoption is permitted, and entities may apply
the ASU’s provisions prospective or retrospectively. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on
the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

2.

Acquisitions and Divestitures

All of the Company’s acquisitions of businesses have been accounted for under ASC 805, Business Combinations.
Accordingly, the accounts of the acquired companies, after adjustments to reflect the fair values assigned to assets and
liabilities, have been included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements from their respective dates of acquisition.
The results of operations of the acquired companies have been included in the Company’s consolidated results since the dates
of acquisition. Supplemental pro forma information has not been provided as the acquisitions did not have a material impact on
the Company’s consolidated results of operations individually or in the aggregate.

2021 Acquisitions

ABEL

On March 10, 2021, the Company acquired the stock of ABEL Pumps, L.P. and certain of its affiliates (“ABEL”). ABEL
designs and manufactures highly engineered reciprocating positive displacement pumps for a variety of end markets, including
mining, marine, power, water, wastewater and other general industries. Headquartered in Büchen, Germany, with sales and
service locations in Madrid, Spain, and subsequent to the acquisition with operations in Mansfield, Ohio, ABEL operates in the
Company’s Pumps reporting unit within the FMT segment. ABEL was acquired for cash consideration of $106.3 million. The
entire purchase price was funded with cash on hand. Goodwill and intangible assets recognized as part of this transaction were
$42.4 million and $46.0 million, respectively. The goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes.

The Company made a preliminary allocation of the purchase price for the ABEL 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

49

about these assets and liabilities, including intangible asset appraisals, inventory valuation and accrued expenses, and continues
to integrate the newly acquired business, the Company 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
continue to make required adjustments to the purchase price allocation prior to the completion of the measurement period.

53

Divestitures

The Company periodically reviews its operations for businesses which may no longer be aligned with its strategic
objectives and focuses on core business and customers. Any resulting gain or loss recognized due to divestitures is recorded
within Loss (gain) on sale of businesses - net within Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated
Statements of Income.

On March 12, 2021, the Company completed the sale of CiDRA Precision Services (“CiDRA”) for $1.0 million in cash,
resulting in a pre-tax gain on the sale of $0.5 million. The Company recorded $0.1 million of income tax expense associated
with this transaction during the year ended December 31, 2021. The results of CiDRA were reported within the HST segment
and generated $0.9 million of revenues in 2021 through the date of sale. The Company concluded that this divestiture did not
meet the criteria for reporting the results of CiDRA as discontinued operations.

On December 28, 2020, the Company completed the sale of its Avery Hardoll product line for $0.5 million in cash,
resulting in a pre-tax loss on the sale of $0.4 million. The Company recorded $0.3 million of income tax benefit associated with
this transaction during the year ended December 31, 2020. The results of Avery Hardoll were reported within the FMT segment
and generated $1.2 million of revenues in 2020 through the date of sale. The Company concluded that this divestiture did not
meet the criteria for reporting discontinued operations. There were no divestitures that took place during the year ended
December 31, 2019.

3.

Collaborative Investments

On May 12, 2020, a subsidiary of IDEX entered into a joint venture agreement with a third party to form a limited liability
company (the “Joint Venture”) that will manufacture and sell high performance elastomer seals for the oil and gas industry to
customers within the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia as well as export these high performance elastomer seals outside of the
Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The Joint Venture will be headquartered in Dammam, Saudi Arabia and operates in the Company’s
Sealing Solutions reporting unit within the HST segment. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company contributed
$0.1 million and owns 55% of the share capital while the third party partner contributed $0.1 million and owns 45% of the share
capital. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company contributed an additional $0.6 million. As of December 31,
2021, the Joint Venture has incurred start-up expenses, but has not yet begun manufacturing. Since IDEX controls the entity,
IDEX has consolidated the Joint Venture and recorded a noncontrolling interest in its Consolidated Financial Statements.

On June 29, 2021, a subsidiary of IDEX funded a $4.2 million convertible promissory note to a start-up company that
provides communication technology to improve individual performance and team coordination for firefighters’ responses. The
investment aligns with the FSDP segment’s strategic plan to reduce response time and greatly increase life-safety outcomes and
is an extension of FSDP’s smart and connected products. The note bears paid-in-kind interest at a rate of 5% per annum and is
secured by the Company’s interest in the intellectual property of the start-up company. Unless earlier converted, the principal
amount outstanding and the related accrued interest are due upon the earliest of (a) June 28, 2024, (b) a change in control or (c)
when declared due and payable by the Company upon an event of default. The note is included in Other noncurrent assets on
the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. In addition, the Company recorded $0.1 million of accrued interest in Other
noncurrent assets on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company will measure the allowance for credit losses
under the current expected credit loss model. As of December 31, 2021, no allowance for credit losses has been recorded.

Performance Obligations

The Company’s performance obligations are satisfied either at a point in time or over time as work progresses. Revenue
from products and services transferred to customers at a point in time approximated 95% of total revenues in each of the years
ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019. Revenue from products and services transferred to customers over time
approximated 5% of total revenues in each of the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019.

Contract Balances

The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections can result in customer receivables, advance payments or
billings in excess of revenue recognized. Customer receivables include both amounts billed and currently due from customers
as well as unbilled amounts (contract assets) and are included in Receivables - net on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

57

Amounts are billed in accordance with contractual terms or as work progresses. Unbilled amounts arise when the timing of
billing differs from the timing of revenue recognized, such as when contract provisions require specific milestones to be met
before a customer can be billed. Unbilled amounts primarily relate to performance obligations satisfied over time when the cost-
to-cost method is utilized and the revenue recognized exceeds the amount billed to the customer as there is not yet a right to
invoice in accordance with contractual terms. Unbilled amounts are recorded as a contract asset when the revenue associated
with the contract is recognized prior to billing and derecognized when billed in accordance with the terms of the contract.

The composition of Customer receivables was as follows:

Advance payments, deposits and billings in excess of revenue recognized are included in Deferred revenue which is
classified as current or noncurrent based on the timing of when the Company expects to recognize the revenue. The current
portion is included in Accrued expenses and the noncurrent portion is included in Other noncurrent liabilities on the
Consolidated Balance Sheets. Advance payments and deposits represent contract liabilities and are recorded when customers
remit contractual cash payments in advance of us satisfying performance obligations under contractual arrangements, including
those with performance obligations satisfied over time. The Company generally receives advance payments from customers
related to maintenance services which are recognized ratably over the service term. The Company also receives deposits from
customers on certain orders which the Company recognizes as revenue at a point in time in the future. Billings in excess of
revenue recognized represent contract liabilities and primarily relate to performance obligations satisfied over time when the
cost-to-cost method is utilized and revenue cannot yet be recognized as the Company has not completed the corresponding
performance obligation. Contract liabilities are derecognized when revenue is recognized and the performance obligation is
satisfied.

Goodwill represents the purchase price in excess of the net amount assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed
and was tested for impairment at each of the Company’s 13 reporting units as of October 31, 2021, the Company’s annual
impairment test date. In assessing the fair value of the reporting units, the Company considers both the market approach and the
income approach. Under the market approach, the fair value of the reporting unit is determined by the respective trailing 12
month EBITDA and the forward looking 2022 EBITDA (50% each), based on multiples of comparable public companies. The
market approach is dependent on a number of significant management assumptions including forecasted EBITDA and selected
market multiples. Under the income approach, the fair value of the reporting unit is determined based on the present value of
estimated future cash flows. The income approach is dependent on a number of significant management assumptions including
estimates of operating results, capital expenditures, net working capital requirements, long-term growth rates and discount rates.
Weighting was equally attributed to both the market and the income approaches (50% each) in arriving at the fair value of the
reporting units. In 2021 and 2020, there were no events or circumstances that would have required an interim impairment test.

The following table provides the gross carrying value and accumulated amortization for each major class of intangible asset

The Banjo trade name and the Akron Brass trade name are indefinite-lived intangible assets that were also tested for
impairment as of October 31, 2021, the Company’s annual impairment test date. These indefinite-lived intangible assets 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. The Company uses the relief-from-royalty method, a form of the income approach, to
determine the fair value of these trade names. The relief-from-royalty method is dependent on a number of significant
management assumptions, including estimates of revenues, royalty rates and discount rates. In 2021 and 2020, there were no
events or circumstances that would have required an interim impairment test.

Refer to Note 15 for discussion on impairment of definite-lived intangibles.

Amortization of intangible assets was $56.4 million, $41.8 million and $37.3 million in 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Based on the intangible asset balances as of December 31, 2021, amortization expense is expected to approximate $61.3 million
in 2022, $58.1 million in 2023, $53.6 million in 2024, $52.0 million in 2025 and $50.2 million in 2026.

On May 28, 2021, the Company completed a public offering of $500.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 2.625%
Senior Notes due June 2031 (the “2.625% Senior Notes”). The net proceeds from the offering were approximately $494.7
million, after deducting the issuance discount of $0.6 million, the underwriting commission of $3.3 million and offering
expenses of $1.4 million. The net proceeds were used to redeem and repay the $350.0 million aggregate principal amount
outstanding of its 4.20% Senior Notes due December 15, 2021 (the “4.20% Senior Notes”) and a $6.7 million make-whole
redemption premium, with the remaining balance used for general corporate purposes. The 2.625% Senior Notes bear interest at
a rate of 2.625% per annum, which is payable semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year. The 2.625%
Senior Notes mature on June 15, 2031. The 2.625% Senior Notes were issued under an Indenture, dated as of December 6, 2010
(the “Base Indenture”), between the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), as
supplemented by the Fourth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of May 28, 2021 (the “Supplemental Indenture” and, together
with the Base Indenture and other supplements thereto, the “Indenture”), between the Company and the Trustee.

The Company may redeem all or a portion of the 2.625% Senior Notes at any time prior to maturity at the redemption
prices set forth in the Indenture. The Indenture and the 2.625% Senior Notes contain covenants that limit the Company’s ability
to, among other things, incur certain liens, enter into certain sale and leaseback transactions and enter into certain mergers,
consolidations and transfers of substantially all of the Company’s assets. The terms of the 2.625% Senior Notes also require the
Company to make an offer to repurchase the 2.625% Senior Notes upon a change of control triggering event (as defined in the
Indenture) at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any. The Indenture also
provides for customary events of default, which include nonpayment, breach of covenants or warranties in the Indenture and
certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization. Generally, if an event of default occurs, the Trustee or holders of at
least 25% of the then outstanding 2.625% Senior Notes may declare the principal amount of all of the 2.625% Senior Notes to
be due and payable immediately.

60

On May 17, 2021, the Company provided notice of its election to redeem early, on June 16, 2021, the $350.0 million
aggregate principal amount outstanding of its 4.20% Senior Notes at a redemption price of $350.0 million plus a make-whole
redemption premium of $6.7 million using proceeds from the Company’s 2.625% Senior Notes. In addition, the Company
recognized the remaining $1.3 million of the pre-tax amount
included in Accumulated other comprehensive loss in
shareholders’ equity related to the interest rate exchange agreement associated with the 4.20% Senior Notes and wrote off the
remaining $0.1 million of deferred issuance costs and $0.1 million of the debt issuance discount associated with the 4.20%
Senior Notes as well as $0.4 million of deferred taxes for a total loss on early debt redemption of $8.6 million which was
recorded within Other expense - net in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Issuance of 3.00% Senior Notes in 2020

On April 29, 2020, the Company completed a public offering of $500.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 3.00%
Senior Notes due May 2030 (the “3.00% Senior Notes”). The net proceeds from the offering were approximately $494.4
million, after deducting the issuance discount of $0.9 million, the underwriting commission of $3.3 million and offering
expenses of $1.4 million. The net proceeds were used to redeem and repay the $300.0 million aggregate principal amount
outstanding of its 4.50% Senior Notes due December 15, 2020 (the “4.50% Senior Notes”) and the related accrued interest and
a make-whole redemption premium, with the remaining balance used for general corporate purposes. The 3.00% Senior Notes
bear interest at a rate of 3.00% per annum, which is payable semi-annually in arrears on May 1 and November 1 of each year.
The 3.00% Senior Notes mature on May 1, 2030.

The Company may redeem all or a portion of the 3.00% Senior Notes at any time prior to maturity at the redemption prices
set forth in the Indenture governing the 3.00% Senior Notes. The Indenture and 3.00% Senior Notes contain covenants that
limit the Company’s ability to, among other things, incur certain liens securing indebtedness, engage in certain sale-leaseback
transactions and enter into certain consolidations, mergers, conveyances, transfers or leases of all or substantially all of the
Company’s assets. The terms of the 3.00% Senior Notes also require the Company to make an offer to repurchase the 3.00%
Senior Notes upon a change of control triggering event (as defined in the Indenture) at a price equal to 101% of the principal
amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any. The Indenture also provides for customary events of default, which include
nonpayment, breach of covenants in the Indenture and certain events of bankruptcy and insolvency. Generally, if an event of
default occurs, the Trustee or holders of at least 25% of the then outstanding 3.00% Senior Notes may declare the principal
amount of all of the 3.00% Senior Notes to be due and payable immediately.

On April 27, 2020, the Company provided notice of its election to redeem early, on May 27, 2020, the $300.0 million
aggregate principal amount outstanding of its 4.50% Senior Notes at a redemption price of $300.0 million plus a make-whole
redemption premium of $6.8 million and accrued and unpaid interest of $6.1 million using proceeds from the Company’s
3.00% Senior Notes. In addition, the Company recognized the remaining $1.4 million of the pre-tax amount included in
Accumulated other comprehensive loss in shareholders’ equity related to the interest rate exchange agreement associated with
the 4.50% Senior Notes and wrote off the remaining $0.1 million of deferred issuance costs and $0.1 million of the debt
issuance discount associated with the 4.50% Senior Notes for a total loss on early debt redemption of $8.4 million which was
recorded within Other expense - net in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Revolving Credit Facility

On May 31, 2019, 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 consists of a revolving credit facility (the “Revolving
Facility”) in an aggregate principal amount of $800 million with a final maturity date of May 31, 2024. 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. The Credit Agreement replaced the Company’s prior five-year $700 million
credit agreement, dated as of June 23, 2015, which was due to expire in June 2020.

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 $400 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 under the Credit
Agreement.

61

Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at either an alternate base rate or adjusted LIBOR plus, in each case,
an applicable margin. Such applicable margin is based on the lower of the Company’s senior, unsecured, long-term debt rating
or the Company’s applicable leverage ratio and can range from 0.00% to 1.275%. Interest is payable (a) in the case of base rate
loans, quarterly, and (b) in the case of LIBOR loans, on the last day of the applicable interest period selected, or every three
months from the effective date of such interest period for interest periods exceeding three months.

The Credit Agreement requires payment to the lenders of a facility fee based upon the amount of the lenders’ commitments
under the credit facility from time to time, determined based on the lower of the Company’s senior, unsecured long-term debt
rating or the Company’s applicable leverage ratio. Voluntary prepayments of any loans and voluntary reductions of the
unutilized portion of the commitments under the Credit Agreement are permissible without penalty, subject to break funding
payments and minimum notice and minimum reduction amount requirements.

The Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants for senior unsecured credit agreements.
There are two key financial covenants that the Company is required to maintain in connection with the Credit Agreement and
the Senior Notes, excluding the 3.00% Senior Notes which have no financial covenants, a minimum interest coverage ratio of
3.0 to 1 and a maximum leverage ratio of 3.50 to 1, which is the ratio of the Company’s consolidated total debt to its
consolidated earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), both of which are tested
quarterly and in the case of the leverage ratio under the Revolving Facility, there is an option to increase the ratio to 4.00 for 12
months in connection with certain acquisitions. At December 31, 2021, the Company was in compliance with each financial
covenant under Credit Agreement and the Senior Notes, excluding the 3.00% Senior Notes which have no financial covenants.
While there are no financial covenants relating to the 3.00% Senior Notes, they are subject to cross-default provisions. The
negative covenants include restrictions on the Company’s 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), make certain subsidiary dividends or
distributions, engage in materially different lines of businesses and allow subsidiaries to incur certain additional debt.

The Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default (subject to grace periods, as appropriate).

At December 31, 2021, there was no balance outstanding under the Revolving Facility and $7.2 million of outstanding
letters of credit, resulting in a net available borrowing capacity under the Revolving Facility at December 31, 2021 of
approximately $792.8 million. In addition, there were no borrowings under the Revolving Facility during the year ended
December 31, 2021.

Issuance of 3.20% Senior Notes and 3.37% Senior Notes in 2016

On June 13, 2016, the Company completed a private placement of a $100 million aggregate principal amount of 3.20%
Senior Notes due June 13, 2023 (the “3.20% Senior Notes”) and a $100 million aggregate principal amount of 3.37% Senior
Notes due June 13, 2025 (the “3.37% Senior Notes” and together with the 3.20% Senior Notes, the “2016 Private Placement
Notes”) pursuant to a Note Purchase Agreement dated June 13, 2016 (the “Purchase Agreement”). Each series of the 2016
Private Placement Notes bears interest at the stated amount per annum, which is payable semi-annually in arrears on each June
13th and December 13th. The 2016 Private Placement 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 2016 Private Placement Notes, provided that such portion is greater than 5% of the aggregate principal
amount of the 2016 Private Placement 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 the 2016 Private
Placement Notes by making an offer to all holders of the 2016 Private Placement 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 the leverage ratio and interest coverage ratio
described above 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 2016 Private Placement
Notes will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. In the case of payment event of default, any
holder of the 2016 Private Placement Notes affected thereby may declare all of the 2016 Private Placement Notes held by it due
and payable immediately. In the case of any other event of default, a majority of the holders of the 2016 Private Placement
Notes may declare all of the 2016 Private Placement Notes to be due and payable immediately.

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 types of cash flow hedges the Company enters into include foreign currency exchange contracts
designed to minimize the earnings impact on certain intercompany loans as well as interest rate exchange agreements designed
to reduce the impact of interest rate changes on future interest expense that effectively convert a portion of floating-rate debt to
fixed-rate debt.

The effective portion of gains or losses on interest rate exchange agreements is reported in Accumulated other
comprehensive loss in shareholders’ equity and reclassified into net income in the same period or periods in which the hedged
transaction affects net income. 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 in net income during the period of change. See Note 17 for the amount of loss
reclassified into net income for interest rate contracts for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019. As of December
31, 2021, the Company did not have any interest rate contracts outstanding.

In 2010 and 2011,

the Company entered into two separate forward starting interest rate exchange agreements in
anticipation of the issuance of the 4.50% Senior Notes and the 4.20% Senior Notes. The Company cash settled these two
interest rate contracts in 2010 and 2011 for a total of $68.9 million, which was being amortized into interest expense over the 10
year terms of the respective debt instruments. In conjunction with the early redemption of the 4.50% Senior Notes on May 27,
2020, the Company accelerated the recognition of the remaining $1.4 million of the pre-tax amount included in Accumulated
other comprehensive loss in shareholders’ equity related to the 4.50% Senior Notes and recorded such as Other expense - net in
the Consolidated Statements of Income during the year ended December 31, 2020. In conjunction with the early redemption of
the 4.20% Senior Notes on June 16, 2021, the Company accelerated the recognition of the remaining $1.3 million of the pre-tax
amount included in Accumulated other comprehensive loss in shareholders’ equity related to the 4.20% Senior Notes and
recorded such as Other expense - net in the Consolidated Statements of Income during the year ended December 31, 2021. As
of December 31, 2021, there was no balance in Accumulated other comprehensive loss related to the cumulative unrealized
gain (loss) on derivatives.

The amount of expense reclassified into interest expense for interest rate contracts for the years ended December 31, 2021,

2020 and 2019 is $3.3 million, $6.0 million and $6.3 million, respectively.

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.

63

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 December 31, 2021 and 2020:

(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.

(2) At December 31, 2021, the securities are included in Other current assets on the Company’s Consolidated Balance

Sheets and are available for overnight cash settlement, if necessary, to fund current operations.

There were no transfers of assets or liabilities between Level 1 and Level 2 in 2021 or 2020.

The carrying values of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, marketable securities, accounts
payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of the short term nature of these instruments. At December 31,
2021 and 2020, the fair value of the outstanding indebtedness described in Footnote 7 based on quoted market prices and
current market rates for debt with similar credit risk and maturity was approximately $1,219.9 million and $1,127.6 million,
respectively, compared to the carrying value of $1,198.7 million and $1,049.3 million, respectively. 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.

10.

Leases

The Company leases certain office facilities, warehouses, manufacturing plants, equipment (which includes both office and
plant equipment) and vehicles under operating leases. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the
balance sheet; the Company recognizes lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Certain leases include one or more options to renew. The exercise of lease renewal options is at the Company’s sole
discretion. The Company does not include renewal periods in any of the leases’ terms until the renewal is executed as they are
generally not reasonably certain of being exercised. The Company does not have any material purchase options.

Certain of the Company’s lease agreements have rental payments that are adjusted periodically for inflation or that are
based on usage. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive
covenants.

The Company and certain of its subsidiaries are involved in pending and threatened legal, regulatory and other proceedings
arising in the ordinary course of business. These proceedings may pertain to matters such as product liability or contract
disputes, and may also involve governmental inquiries, inspections, audits or investigations relating to issues such as tax
matters, intellectual property, environmental, health and safety issues, governmental regulations, employment and other matters.
Although the results of such legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company believes that the ultimate
disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect, individually or in the aggregate, on the Company’s business,
financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

12.

The Company has $40.6 million and $28.6 million of permanently reinvested earnings of non-U.S. subsidiaries as of
December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. No deferred U.S. income taxes have been provided on the $40.6 million of earnings
that are considered to be permanently reinvested. It should also be noted that the aforementioned earnings will not incur U.S.
taxes when ultimately repatriated other than potentially U.S. federal, state and local taxes on foreign exchange gains or losses
recognized on the distribution of such earnings. Such distributions could also be subject to additional foreign withholding and
foreign income taxes. The amount of unrecognized deferred income tax liabilities on currently permanently reinvested earnings
is estimated to be $6.1 million and $4.3 million as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

During the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, the Company repatriated $116.0 million, $27.0 million and
$99.0 million of foreign earnings, respectively. These actual distributions resulted in no incremental income tax expense for the
years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019. These repatriations represent distributions of previously taxed income as well
as distributions from liquidating subsidiaries.

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits for 2021, 2020 and 2019 is as follows:

The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in provision for income taxes in the
Consolidated Statements of Income. As of December 31, 2021, the Company accrued interest and penalties of less than
$0.1 million related to uncertain tax positions.

The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that would affect the Company’s effective tax rate if recognized is $0.1
million, $1.1 million and $3.7 million as of December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The tax years 2016-2020 remain
open to examination by major taxing 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. However, these unrecognized tax benefits are long-term in nature and are not expected to change within
the next 12 months.

As of December 31, 2021, the Company had non-U.S. and U.S. state net operating loss carryforwards of $0.7 million and
$22.5 million, respectively. The entire balance of the non-U.S. net operating losses, the majority of which relates to acquisitions

69

is available to be carried forward indefinitely. The U.S. state net operating loss will expire between 2033 and 2040. There is no
valuation allowance as it is more-likely-than-not that the net operating losses will be realized.

The Company has U.S. federal, U.S. state and non-U.S. capital loss carryforwards of $11.9 million, $11.9 million and
$13.5 million, respectively, with a full valuation allowance against the deferred tax asset. The non-U.S. capital loss can be
carried forward indefinitely. The U.S. federal and U.S. state capital loss carryforwards will expire at various dates between
2025 and 2040.

As of December 31, 2021, the Company has a foreign tax credit carryforward for U.S. federal purposes of approximately
$6.6 million with a full valuation allowance against the deferred tax asset. The U.S. federal foreign tax credit carryover will
expire between 2029 and 2031.

Restructuring Expenses and Asset Impairments

During 2021, 2020 and 2019, the Company incurred restructuring expenses and asset impairments of $9.3 million,
$11.8 million and $21.0 million, respectively. These costs were incurred to facilitate long-term sustainable growth through cost
reduction actions, consisting of employee reductions, facility rationalization, contract termination costs and asset impairments.
Restructuring costs include severance benefits, exit costs and asset impairments and are included in Restructuring expenses and
asset impairments in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Severance costs primarily consist of severance benefits through
payroll continuation, COBRA subsidies, outplacement services, conditional separation costs and employer tax liabilities, while
exit costs primarily consist of lease exit and contract termination costs.

2021 Initiative

During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company incurred severance costs related to employee reductions. In
addition, the Company consolidated certain facilities within the FMT segment which resulted in asset impairments of $0.8
million related to property, plant and equipment that was not relocated to the new locations.

During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company incurred severance costs related to employee reductions and exit
costs related to early lease terminations. In addition, in the second quarter of 2019, the Company began to evaluate strategic
alternatives for one of its businesses in the HST segment. Prior to making a final decision on the options that were presented for
this business, the business was informed of the loss of its largest customer. As a result, the Company accelerated its
restructuring activities for this business and a decision was made to wind down the business over time. This event required an
interim impairment test be performed on the long-lived tangible and intangible assets of the business, which resulted in an
impairment charge of $9.7 million. The Company also consolidated one of its facilities into the Optics Center of Excellence in
Rochester, New York, which resulted in an impairment charge of $0.4 million related to a building right-of-use asset.

Share-Based Compensation

The Company maintains two share-based compensation plans for executives, non-employee directors and certain key
employees that authorize the granting of stock options, restricted stock, performance share units and other types of awards
consistent with the purpose of the plans. The number of shares authorized for issuance under the Company’s plans as of
December 31, 2021 totaled 15.6 million, of which 2.4 million shares were available for future issuance. The Company’s policy
is to recognize compensation cost on a straight-line basis, assuming forfeitures, over the requisite service period for the entire
award.

The Company typically grants equity awards annually at its regularly scheduled first quarter meeting of the Board of

Directors based on the recommendation from the Compensation Committee.

Stock Options

Stock options granted under the Company’s plans are generally non-qualified and are granted with an exercise price equal
to the market price of the Company’s stock on the date of grant. The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of
the grant using the Binomial lattice option pricing model (for options granted before March 2021) or the Black Scholes
valuation model (for options granted after February 2021). The adoption of the Black Scholes model in 2021 was driven by a
historical review of option exercise history, which more closely aligned with the methodology of the Black Scholes model. The
majority of the options issued to employees vest ratably over four years, with vesting beginning one year from the date of grant,
and generally expire 10 years from the date of grant.

The Company estimated volatility using its historical share price performance over the contractual term of the option
(for the Binomial lattice option pricing model) or over the expected life of the option (for the Black Scholes valuation
model).
The Company uses historical data to estimate the expected life of the option. The expected life assumption for options
granted before March 2021 is an output of the Binomial lattice option pricing model, which incorporates vesting
provisions, rate of voluntary exercise and rate of post-vesting termination over the contractual life of the option to
define expected employee behavior. The expected life assumption for options granted after March 2021 is based on
IDEX’s own exercise and cancellation history, adjusted for current vesting schedules.
The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for periods within the
contractual life of the option (for the Binomial lattice option pricing model) or commensurate with the expected life of
the option (for the Black Scholes valuation model). For options granted before March 2021, the Company presents the
range of risk-free one-year forward rates, derived from the U.S. treasury yield curve, utilized in the Binomial lattice
option pricing model. For options granted after March 2021, the Company presents the spot rate used in the Black
Scholes valuation model.
The expected dividend yield is based on the Company’s current dividend yield as the best estimate of projected
dividend yield for periods within the contractual life of the option.

A summary of the Company’s stock option activity as of December 31, 2021, and changes during the year ended December

The intrinsic value for stock options outstanding and exercisable is defined as the difference between the market value of
the Company’s common stock as of the end of the period and the grant price. The total intrinsic value of options exercised in
2021, 2020 and 2019 was $21.4 million, $41.3 million and $49.5 million, respectively. In 2021, 2020 and 2019, cash received
from options exercised was $19.7 million, $44.6 million and $38.8 million, respectively, while the actual tax benefit realized for
the tax deductions from stock options exercised totaled $4.5 million, $8.7 million and $10.4 million, respectively.

Restricted Stock

Restricted stock awards generally cliff vest after three years for employees and non-employee directors. Unvested restricted
stock carries dividend and voting rights and the sale of the shares is restricted prior to the date of vesting. Dividends are paid on
restricted stock awards and their fair value is equal to the market price of the Company’s stock at the date of the grant. A

(1) The 2020 and 2019 amounts were previously included in Share-based compensation expense on the Consolidated
Statements of Cash Flows. These amounts have been reclassified to Accrued expenses and Other-net such that the amounts
presented in Share-based compensation expense on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows relate solely to non-cash awards
for all years presented. There was no change to the reported amount of net cash flows provided by operating activities for either
2020 or 2019 as a result of the reclassification.

At December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company has accrued $5.9 million and $5.4 million, respectively, for cash-settled
restricted stock in Accrued expenses in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and has accrued $2.8 million and $2.9 million,
respectively, for cash-settled restricted stock in Other non-current liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Performance Share Units

Beginning in 2013, the Company granted performance share units to selected key employees that may be earned based on
IDEX total shareholder return over the three-year period following the date of grant. Performance share units are expected to be
made annually and are paid out at the end of a three-year period based on the Company’s performance. Performance is
measured by determining the percentile rank of the total shareholder return of IDEX common stock in relation to the total
shareholder return of companies in the Russell Midcap Index (for awards granted from 2016 through 2019) or the S&P 500
Index (for awards granted in 2020 and 2021) for the three-year period following the date of grant. The payment of awards
following the three-year award period will be based on performance achieved in accordance with the scale set forth in the plan
agreement and may range from 0 percent to 250 percent of the initial grant. A target payout of 100 percent is earned if total
shareholder return is equal to the 50th percentile of the peer group. Performance share units earn dividend equivalents for the
award period, which will be paid to participants with the award payout at the end of the period based on the actual number of
performance share units that are earned. Payments made at the end of the award period will be in the form of stock for
performance share units and will be in cash for dividend equivalents. The Company’s performance share units are market
condition awards, have been assessed at fair value on the date of grant using a Monte Carlo simulation model and are expensed
ratably over the three-year term of the awards. The Company granted 29,020, 42,690 and 56,860 performance share units in
2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

The Company estimated volatility using its historical share price performance over the remaining performance period
as of the grant date.
The Company uses a Monte Carlo simulation model that uses an expected life commensurate with the performance
period. As a result, the expected life of the performance share units was assumed to be the period from the grant date
to the end of the performance period.
The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant with a term
commensurate with the remaining performance period.
Total Shareholder Return is determined assuming that dividends are reinvested in the issuing entity over the
performance period, which is mathematically equivalent to utilizing a 0% dividend yield.

Retirement Benefits

The Company sponsors several qualified and nonqualified defined benefit and defined contribution pension plans as well
as other post-retirement plans for its employees. The Company uses a measurement date of December 31 for its defined benefit

79

pension plans and post-retirement medical plans. The Company employs the measurement date provisions of ASC 715,
Compensation-Retirement Benefits, which require the measurement date of plan assets and liabilities to coincide with the
sponsor’s year end.

Effective September 30, 2019, the IDEX Corporation Retirement Plan (“Plan”), a U.S. defined benefit plan, was amended
to freeze the accrual of retirement benefits for all participants. This action impacted fewer than 60 participants, as the Plan had
been closed to new entrants as of December 31, 2004 and frozen as of December 31, 2005 for all but certain older, longer
service participants. Subsequent to the freeze, termination of the Plan was approved in November 2019. In addition, the
Company recorded a settlement charge of $0.7 million in Other expense - net in the Consolidated Statements of Income for the
year ended December 31, 2019.

Participants were notified in February 2020 and the Plan was terminated in May 2020. As a result of the termination, the
settlement threshold was reached in early 2020 and the Company recorded a settlement charge of $0.9 million in Other expense
- net in the Consolidated Statements of Income for the year ended December 31, 2020. The settlement also triggered the
remeasurement of net periodic benefit cost resulting in a reduction of $1.0 million to Other expense - net in the Consolidated
Statements of Income for the year ended December 31, 2020 as a result of significant decreases in discount rates and strong
asset performance in 2020.

During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company settled its remaining obligations under the U.S. pension plan
through a combination of lump-sum payments to eligible participants who elected them, and through the purchase of annuities
from Legal and General, an A rated third-party insurer. The Company recognized a net loss of $9.7 million, which was recorded
within Other expense - net. The net loss consisted of $10.7 million related to previously deferred pension related costs, partially
offset by $1.0 million related to an increase in plan assets remaining after the settlement. As of December 31, 2021, the Plan
had surplus plan assets of approximately $10.2 million, representing cash equivalents held in a trust. These plan assets are
included in Other current assets on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets and will be used to fund the Company’s other
retirement benefit plans over the next twelve months.

The pension benefits actuarial gain in 2021 was primarily driven by the increase in the discount rates from 2020 to 2021.
The U.S. actuarial gain was partially offset by an updated projection scale assumption. The non-U.S. actuarial gain was
primarily driven by the increase in the discount rates, asset gains and the updated mortality assumptions in Switzerland.

The other benefits actuarial gain in 2021 was primarily driven by the increase in the discount rates from 2020 to 2021 and

gains from updated participant data, partially offset by updated claims and contributions experience.

The accumulated benefit obligation (“ABO”) for all defined benefit pension plans was $110.7 million and $204.4 million at

December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

The discount rates for the Company’s plans are derived by matching the plan’s cash flows to a yield curve that provides the
equivalent yields on zero-coupon bonds for each maturity. The discount rate selected is the rate that produces the same present
value of cash flows.

In selecting the expected rate of return on plan assets, the Company considers the historical returns and expected returns on
plan assets. The expected returns are evaluated using asset return class, variance and correlation assumptions based on the
plan’s target asset allocation and current market conditions.

83

Prior service costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the average remaining service period of active participants.
Gains and losses in excess of 10% of the greater of the benefit obligation or the market value of assets are amortized over the
average remaining service period of active participants.

Costs of defined contribution plans were $12.8 million, $12.5 million and $12.4 million for 2021, 2020 and 2019,

respectively.

The Company, through its subsidiaries, participates in certain multi-employer pension plans covering approximately 212
participants under U.S. collective bargaining agreements. None of these plans are considered individually significant to the
Company as contributions to these plans totaled $1.0 million, $1.1 million, and $1.1 million for 2021, 2020 and 2019,
respectively.

For measurement purposes, a 5.45% weighted average annual rate of increase in the per capita cost of covered health care
benefits was assumed for 2021. The rate was assumed to decrease gradually each year to a rate of 4.45% for 2040, and remain
at that level thereafter.

Plan Assets

Other commingled funds represent pooled institutional investments in non-U.S. plans.

Equities that are valued using quoted prices are valued at the published market prices. Equities in a common collective trust
or a registered investment company that are valued using significant other observable inputs are valued at the net asset value
(“NAV”) provided by the fund administrator. The NAV is based on the value of the underlying assets owned by the fund minus
its liabilities. Fixed income securities that are valued using significant other observable inputs are valued at prices obtained
from independent financial service industry-recognized vendors.

Investment Policies and Strategies

The investment objective of the U.S. plan, consistent with prudent standards for preservation of capital and maintenance of
liquidity, is to earn the highest possible total rate of return consistent with the plan’s tolerance for risk. The general asset
allocation guidelines for plan assets are that “equities” will constitute 10% and “fixed income” obligations, including cash, will
constitute 90% of the market value of total fund assets.

The investment objective of the UK plan, consistent with prudent standards for preservation of capital and maintenance of
liquidity, is to earn a target return of UK Gilts plus approximately 3.1% per year. The general asset allocation guidelines for
plan assets are that “equities” will constitute from 60% to 65% of the market value of total fund assets with a target of 62%, and
“fixed income” obligations, including cash, will constitute from 35% to 40% with a target of 38%. The UK plan also has a
framework in place such that if the funding position (which is monitored daily) improves to a certain level, the asset allocation
will switch out of equities into fixed income assets in order to lower the level of risk of the investments.

The term “equities” includes common stock, while the term “fixed income” includes obligations with contractual payments
and a specific maturity date. The Company, through the use of a professional independent advisor, will monitor the asset
allocation daily and maintain an asset allocation that closely replicates the designated targets. Diversification of assets is
employed to ensure that adverse performance of one security or security class does not have an undue detrimental impact on the
portfolio as a whole. Diversification is interpreted to include diversification by type, characteristic and number of investments
as well as by investment style of designated investment fund managers. No restrictions are placed on the selection of individual
investments by the investment fund managers. The total fund performance and the performance of the investment fund
managers is reviewed on a regular basis using an appointed professional independent advisor. As of December 31, 2021, there
were no shares of the Company’s stock held in plan assets.

Cash Flows

The Company expects to contribute approximately $4.0 million to its defined benefit plans and $1.2 million to its other
postretirement benefit plans in 2022. The Company also expects to contribute approximately $15.1 million to its defined
contribution plan and $10.2 million to its 401(k) savings plan in 2022 using both the $10.2 million of surplus plan assets
described above and cash on hand.

85

Estimated Future Benefit Payments

The future estimated benefit payments for the next five years and the five years thereafter are as follows: 2022 — $6.4
million; 2023 — $6.0 million; 2024 — $6.0 million; 2025 — $6.3 million; 2026 — $6.3 million; 2027 to 2031 — $31.8
million.

19.

Subsequent Events

As previously announced, on November 23, 2021, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Nexsight,
LLC and its businesses Envirosight, WinCan, MyTana and Pipeline Renewal Technologies (“Nexsight”) for cash consideration
of $120.0 million, subject to customary post-closing adjustments. Nexsight is based in Randolph, New Jersey. Nexsight will
complement and create synergies with the Company’s existing iPEK and ADS business units that design and create sewer
crawlers, inspection and monitoring systems and software applications that allow teams to identify, anticipate and correct
wastewater system issues remotely. Nexsight will be part of the Company’s Water reporting unit within the FMT segment.

The Company expects to close the transaction by the end of the first quarter of 2022, subject to regulatory approval and

customary closing conditions.
