INFORMATION APPLICABLE TO THE COMPANY’S BUSINESS IN GENERAL AND ITS SEGMENTS
Competitors
The Company’s businesses participate in highly competitive markets. IDEX believes that
the principal points of
competition are product quality, design and engineering capabilities, product development, conformity to customer
specifications, quality of post-sale support, timeliness of delivery and effectiveness of the Company’s distribution channels.
Principal competitors of the FMT segment are the Pumps Group (Maag, Blackmer and Wilden products) of Dover
Corporation (with respect to pumps and small horsepower compressors used in liquefied petroleum gas distribution facilities,
rotary gear pumps and air-operated double-diaphragm pumps); and Ingersoll Rand’s Precision and Science Technologies (PST)
division (with respect to metering, control and rotary gear pumps).
Principal competitors of the HST segment are the Thomas division of Ingersoll Rand (with respect to vacuum pumps and
compressors); Parker Hannifin (with respect to sealing devices); Valco Instruments Co., Inc. (with respect to fluid injectors and
valves); Jenoptik (with respect to optical assemblies in life sciences); and Tecan Trading AG (with respect to the life science
fluidics market).
The principal competitors of the FSDP segment are Waterous Company, a unit of American Cast Iron Pipe Company (with
respect to truck-mounted firefighting pumps); Holmatro, Inc. (with respect to rescue tools); Corob S.p.A. (with respect to
dispensing and mixing equipment for the paint industry); and Panduit Corporation (with respect to stainless steel bands, buckles
and clamping systems).
Customers
In 2022, 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, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Italy, India,
China and Canada. 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 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 but continues to actively evaluate its
current suppliers and identify alternative sources to manage supply chain constraints, as needed.
Inventory and Backlog
The Company regularly and systematically adjusts production schedules and quantities based on the flow of incoming
orders. During 2022, backlog was elevated as compared to pre-pandemic levels due to supply chain constraints, which both
extended lead times and shifted customer order patterns as well as increased inventory to support production. However, the
Company remains a short cycle business and backlog is not considered a significant factor in the Company’s business as
relatively short delivery periods and rapid inventory turnover are characteristic of most of the Company’s products. The
Company remains focused on delivering products and services to customers against an elevated backlog and continues to
actively manage inventory levels. Further, with respect to order cancellations, the Company has not historically experienced
significant order cancellations and does not expect significant order cancellations in the future.
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 China
10
expansion was completed in late 2022 and the India facility is expected to be completed in early 2023. IDEX also expanded its
facilities in Singapore and Dubai in 2022 to support growth in South East Asia and the Middle East. 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 as well as personnel in various locations in South
America, South East Asia, the Middle East, Korea and Japan to support sales and marketing efforts in those regions.
Government Regulations
Our compliance with federal, state and local laws and regulations, including those related to environmental, international
trade, labor and employment, human rights, tax, anti-bribery and competition matters, did not have a material effect upon our
capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022.
Employees
At December 31, 2022, the Company had 8,868 employees. Approximately 4% of its employees are covered by various
collective bargaining agreements in the U.S. which will expire at various times between now and October 2026. Of those,
approximately 1% of employees are covered by collective bargaining agreements in the U.S. which will expire within one year.
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 focused on senior team development, succession planning for senior
management and the general human capital strategy action plan to ensure that the Board is informed on key human capital
management matters and to seek alignment on plans for the Company’s continuity and success.
The Company’s workforce advancement strategy is focused 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 performance management, talent development management and employee engagement helps drive long-term value
by providing employees with opportunities to do and be their best both individually and as teams:
•
•
•
•
•
As part of our Organizational Talent Cycle process, we conduct regular in-depth talent reviews of our workforce teams
and culture with business leaders,
identify “stretch” opportunities to grow team members, and connect our
decentralized businesses by moving skilled employees from one business unit to another as opportunities and interest
arise. Employees and leaders have performance and development conversations throughout the year, talking about
business and development goals, reviewing progress, recognizing accomplishments, giving balanced feedback, and
identifying opportunities for improvement. Open, honest dialog about performance, development and career growth
supports our values of trust, team and excellence and The IDEX Difference, building trust and helping us fulfill our
purpose.
Employees have access to resources that enhance and build capabilities, including specific individual development
plans and local training and development programs. In support of our growth strategy and culture, the Company also
sponsors global leadership programs through the IDEX Academy which provides accelerated development for key
leaders to deepen our pipeline across multiple levels of leadership. Our learning curriculum includes instructor-led,
self-paced and blended solutions that have been created internally or sourced from external partners. These offerings
also help to develop future and potential leaders in the IDEX leadership methodology.
The Company also enables employee development and growth by offering eligible U.S. employees the opportunity 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 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. We believe our employees have a high level of engagement as the Company’s
employee engagement index remains above the average for manufacturing companies 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 2022, a number of the Company’s business units took proactive action with off-cycle pay rate
increases for hourly employees with the onset of higher cost of living expenses associated with rising inflation. The Company
regularly reviews its compensation structure and intends to adjust pay as necessary to retain 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.
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 2022, the Company launched its Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (“DEI”) strategic roadmap. To prepare leadership for
the launch, executives participated in a day-long strategy and development session which included a cultural competence
assessment and personal feedback for all senior leaders. The Company also: 1) established a Corporate DEI team; 2) embedded
DEI initiatives into Executive Leadership Team compensation and goals; 3) launched an Inclusive Leader Development
approach; 4) expanded diverse talent recruiting outreach efforts; and 5) established key DEI partnerships. The Company’s
Board of Directors and CEO regularly review DEI progress.
The Company has also enhanced the diversity of the Board of Directors in the last year and the Board now comprises 30%
women and 30% members who identify with racial/ethnic minority groups.
Additionally, the Company has increased representation for both women and racially/ethnically diverse individuals in
leadership roles. From 2021 to 2022, and as of December 31, 2022, the number of women globally in senior leadership roles
increased from 28% to 31% and the number of women globally in people manager roles increased from 21% to 22%. In
addition, and also as of December 31, 2022, the number of racial/ethnic minority senior leaders in the U.S. increased from 18%
to 21%, and the number of racial/ethnic minority people managers in the U.S. held at 19% year over year. The foregoing
representation numbers do not include employee populations associated with acquisitions completed in 2021 or 2022.
Further, the Company has conducted 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 committed to providing a workplace that is safe for all of our employees, contractors, business partners
and visitors. The commitment to Environmental, Health, and Safety (“EH&S”) begins at the corporate and executive level. The
program is overseen by the EH&S Senior Director and the Chief Compliance Officer, both of whom are part of the Legal
Department. Each of the Company’s businesses employ local EH&S specialists. These individuals and local safety committees,
in conjunction with the corporate team, form the basis of the global EH&S program. The Company’s corporate EH&S policies
are a key part of the global EH&S program. They apply to all of the Company’s businesses and each business is expected to
comply with policies and all EH&S laws and regulations.
In addition to the corporate policies, each business develops and
implements its own health and safety policies tailored to the local business.
The Company also encourages 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. In addition, a number of the business units organize
complementary wellness programs, including walking clubs, health fairs and “lunch and learns” with nutritionists for their
employees.
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
12
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’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.
Acquisitions involve numerous risks, including the assumption of undisclosed, uninsured 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 Profit 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
distribution networks. The Company may not be successful
in maintaining its competitive position. The Company’s
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, profit margins
and overall financial performance.
The Company is Dependent on the Availability of Raw Materials, Parts and Components Used in Its Products and Changes
in Supply of, or Price for, Raw Materials, Parts and Components May Materially Adversely Affect the Company.
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.
15
The Company and its Results of Operations and Financial Condition Have Been and May Continue To Be Materially
Adversely Impacted by Public Health Conditions, Including Epidemics or Pandemics Such as COVID-19.
The Company faces various risks related to public health issues, including epidemics, pandemics and other outbreaks,
including the global outbreak of the 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 impact of COVID-19, including changes in consumer behavior,
pandemic fears, market downturns and restrictions on business and individual activities, has periodically created significant
volatility in the global economy. There have been extraordinary actions taken by international, federal, state and local public
health and governmental authorities to contain and combat the outbreak and spread of COVID-19 in regions throughout the
world, including travel bans, quarantines, “stay-at-home” orders and similar mandates for many individuals to substantially
restrict daily activities and for many businesses to curtail or cease normal operations. Any changes in or resurgence of
COVID-19, or any other widespread public health conditions, 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 or other widespread public health conditions. 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.
Further, as new strains or variants of COVID-19 or other viruses, diseases or public health conditions develop or if sufficient
amounts of vaccines or treatments are not available, not widely administered or otherwise prove ineffective, the impact of a
widespread public health condition on the global economy, and in turn, our financial condition and operating results could be
material.
The impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic or any future widespread public health conditions may impact our employees’
ability to work in proximity to others or travel for work. Due to large remote workforce populations resulting from COVID-19
or other widespread public health conditions, 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 or any future widespread public health conditions adversely affects the Company and its financial
results, they 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 Business Operations May Be Materially Adversely Affected by Information Systems Interruptions or
Intrusion, Including those Arising From Cybersecurity Attacks or Incidents.
The Company depends on various internal and third party information technologies to administer, store, process and
transmit electronic information (including sensitive data such as confidential business information and personal data relating to
employees, customers and other business partners) and to support a variety of critical business activities. If these systems (or
the systems of the Company’s customers or third-party hosting services) are damaged or cease to function properly, or if the
Company or third-party hosting service systems are subject to deliberate cyber-security attacks, such as those involving
unauthorized access or malicious software, or unintentional cybersecurity incidents, such as those involving systems
misconfigurations, misuse or human error and/or other intrusions, the Company, its operating results and financial condition
could be materially adversely impacted. These impacts could include production downtimes, operational delays or other
detrimental impacts on operations or the ability to provide products and services to its customers; the compromise, destruction,
corruption or theft of confidential or otherwise protected information, data or intellectual property; security breaches; other
manipulation or improper use of the Company’s systems or networks; financial losses from fraudulent transactions; financial
losses from remedial actions; loss of business or potential liability; adverse media coverage; legal claims or legal proceedings
including regulatory investigations, actions, penalties or fines, including those arising from the violation of any applicable data
privacy laws; and/or damage to the Company’s reputation.
There has been a rise in the number of cyberattacks targeting confidential business information generally and in the
manufacturing industry specifically by both state-sponsored and criminal organizations. Moreover, there has been a rise in the
16
number of cyberattacks that depend on human error or manipulation, including phishing attacks or schemes that use social
engineering to gain access to systems or perpetuate wire transfer or other frauds. These trends increase the likelihood of such
events occurring as well as the costs associated with protecting against such attacks.
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 or other intrusions, any of which could have a material
adverse effect on the Company and its financial condition or results of operations. Given the unpredictability, nature and scope
of cyber-security attacks and incidents, it is possible that potential vulnerabilities could go undetected for an extended period,
and it could take considerable time for the Company to obtain full and reliable information as to the extent, amount and type of
information and/or systems compromised. Any imposition of liability, particularly liability that is not covered by insurance or is
in excess of our insurance coverage, could materially adversely harm our operating results and financial condition.
Uncertainty Related to Environmental Regulation and Industry Standards, as well as Physical Risks of Climate Change,
Could Adversely 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. For example,
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, taxation of or caps on the use of carbon-based energy,
limitations or restrictions on water use, limitations or restrictions on the production of single use plastics, regulations on energy
management and waste management and other rules and regulations to address climate change and other environmental risks,
which may increase the Company’s expenses and adversely affect its operating results.
In addition, the physical risks of climate change are highly uncertain and differ in the geographic regions in which the
Company operates. These physical risks 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. Any 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 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.
Further, any failure to adequately address stakeholder expectations or to achieve previously announced initiatives or goals with
respect to environmental, social and governance matters may adversely impact our reputation, business, financial condition and
results of operations.
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 2022, 52% of the Company’s sales were derived from domestic operations while 48% were derived from international
operations. The Company’s largest end markets include industrial, semiconductor, automotive, life sciences and analytical
instruments, food and pharma, fire & safety, energy, paint, chemical processing, agriculture and water and wastewater
treatment. 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;
17
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
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 went into force on May 1, 2021, following the United Kingdom’s decision
to exit the European Union, and other long term economic, legal, political and social implications of the United
Kingdom’s exit from the European Union;
the imposition of and changes in the United States’ and other governments’ trade regulations, trade wars, tariffs and
other trade barriers, including as a result of geopolitical developments and relations between the United States and
China and the United States and Russia; and
geopolitical events, including natural disasters, climate change, public health conditions, political instability or other
geopolitical events, including civil or political unrest (such as the current conflict 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, Swedish Krona and Brazilian Real. 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 Credit Agreement with both a term facility and revolving credit facility (together, the “Credit
Facility”), which bears interest at either an alternate base rate or adjusted Term SOFR (or appropriate alternative currency
reference rates) 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 Term SOFR or the other rates the Company has
agreed to use as an alternative to Term SOFR (should Term SOFR become unavailable) under the Credit Facility, as amended,
would significantly increase the Company’s cost of borrowings. Further, any changes in regulatory standards or industry
practices, such as the discontinuation of the use of Term SOFR and/or the transition to alternative benchmark rates may result in
the usage of higher interest rates under the Credit 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 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.
18
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.”
Failure to Adequately Protect the Company’s Intellectual Property and the Risk of Disputes Involving Intellectual Property
Infringement Could Adversely Impact the Company’s Competitive Position, Results of Operations, and Financial Condition.
The Company owns patents, trademarks, licenses, and other forms of intellectual property related to its products and
continuously invests in research and development that may result in technological innovations and general intellectual property
rights. The Company employs various measures to develop, maintain and protect its intellectual property rights. If these
measures are not effective, or if the Company’s intellectual property is otherwise infringed, challenged, invalidated or
circumvented, the Company may face adverse impacts to its results of operations and/or financial condition. Further, if
intellectual property is infringed, challenged,
this could reduce barriers to entry into the
invalidated or circumvented,
Company’s existing lines of business and may result in a loss of market share and adversely impact the Company’s competitive
position. Additionally, the Company has registered intellectual property in multiple countries, and the Company’s ability to
protect and enforce its intellectual property rights may be limited in foreign countries due to differences in intellectual property
protections or proprietary rights laws. If the Company’s intellectual property is infringed, challenged invalidated, or
circumvented due to these lesser protections, the Company may face adverse impacts to its results of operations, financial
condition, and/or competitive position.
Litigation may be necessary to enforce the Company’s intellectual property rights or to defend against infringement claims
by third parties. Any litigation or claims brought by the Company could result in costs and diversion of resources, which could
adversely affect the Company’s results of operations and/or financial condition. Any intellectual property litigation or claims
brought against the Company may lead to litigation expenses, diversion of resources, losses or licensing expenses, or the
cessation of selling certain products, any of which could adversely affect the Company’s results of operations and/or financial
condition.
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, 2022, goodwill and intangible assets totaled $2,638.1 million and $947.8 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.
The Company May Face Adverse Effects Resulting from Improper Conduct by Our Employees, Agents or Business Partners.
While we strive to maintain high standards, the Company cannot guarantee that our internal controls and compliance
systems will always protect us from reckless or criminal acts committed by employees, agents or business partners of ours (or
businesses that we acquire or partner with) that would violate laws in the U.S. or foreign countries in which the Company
19
including laws governing payment
operates,
to government officials, bribery, fraud, conflicts of interest, competition,
employment practices and workplace behavior, export and import compliance, economic and trade sanctions, money laundering
and data privacy.
In particular, 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, including the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the U.K.
Bribery Act and similar anti-bribery laws in other jurisdictions which generally prohibit companies and their intermediaries
from making improper payments for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. However, the Company operates in certain
countries that are recognized as having governmental and commercial corruption. Violations of any of these laws may result in
criminal or civil sanctions or penalties, both monetary and non-monetary, increased costs of compliance and/or damage to our
reputation, any of 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 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments.
None.

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 (11%), the U.K. (6%), The Netherlands (6%), Italy (5%), India (4%), China
(3%) and Canada (2%). The Company recently invested a significant amount of capital to expand the China facility which was
completed in late 2022 and the India facility which is expected to be completed in early 2023, ultimately doubling 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 it has ample capacity in its plants and equipment to meet demand increases for future
growth in the intermediate term, especially given its operational improvement initiatives that usually increase capacity.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings.
The Company and its subsidiaries are party to legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business 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 seven 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 4. Mine Safety Disclosures.
Not applicable.

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 measures that are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
(“U.S. GAAP”) 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.
2022 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 2022, the Company achieved a record year in sales driven by robust demand. The Company’s ability to capture price
amid inflation pressures and its focus on execution drove record earnings per share. Finally, the Company deployed record
capital, within its existing portfolio, with the acquisition of three businesses - Nexsight, KZValve and Muon Group - and
through share repurchases to support our future goals.
Select key financial results for the year ended December 31, 2022 when compared to 2021 were as follows:
•
•
•
•
•
Sales of $3.2 billion increased 15%; organic sales were up 13%.
Net income of $586.7 million increased 31%; Net income margin of 18.4% increased 210 basis points.
Diluted EPS attributable to IDEX of $7.71 increased $1.83, or 31%; Adjusted diluted EPS attributable to IDEX of
$8.12 increased $1.25, or 18%.
Adjusted EBITDA of $884.2 million increased 16%; Adjusted EBITDA margin of 27.9% increased 20 basis points.
Cash flows provided by operating activities of $557.4 million were down as higher earnings were more than offset by
an increased investment in working capital. Free cash flow of $489.4 million was 79% of adjusted net income
attributable to IDEX.
Focus for 2023
During 2023, the Company’s primary focus will be on:
•
•
•
Foundational Execution. During 2021 and 2022, the Company experienced both double-digit organic growth and a
challenging operating environment characterized by global supply chain constraints, record inflation and continuing
effects of the COVID-19 environment. In 2023, the Company will renew its focus on the core elements of its operating
model that are designed to drive efficiency, innovation and growth. As market conditions continue to evolve, the
Company believes it will leverage its process-driven fundamental business practices to drive above-market growth and
operational excellence.
Building Great Global Teams. The Company’s teams have demonstrated their ability to quickly adapt to challenges
and changing conditions as well as to solve critical problems for customers. The Company is committed to cultivating
talent to fuel future growth and onboarding leaders who are committed to IDEX core values, talent development and
creating an inspiring Company culture. Diversity, Equity and Inclusion continues to be an area of focus, creating
environments where people feel they belong and can bring their true selves to work every day.
Capital Deployment. The Company deployed $1.5 billion over the last two years on growth business opportunities,
will continue to identify both organic and inorganic opportunities and believes there will be a high quality pipeline for
potential acquisitions. The Company believes that its strong operating cash flow and balance sheet enable deployment
24
of additional capital to acquire IDEX-like businesses in 2023 to further strengthen its portfolio. The Company
anticipates that 2023 organic investment opportunities will be in line with 2022 spending.

Net Sales
Sales increased 15%, reflecting a 13% increase in organic sales, a 5% increase from acquisitions (Muon Group - November
2022, KZValve - May 2022, Nexsight - February 2022, Airtech - June 2021 and ABEL - March 2021) net of divestitures
(Knight LLC and its related affiliates (“Knight”) - September 2022), a 1% increase from the acceleration of previously deferred
revenue related to the exit of a COVID-19 testing application (see Note 15 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial
Statements for further detail) and a 4% unfavorable impact from foreign currency translation. Sales increased 23% domestically
and 7% internationally, and sales to customers outside the U.S. were approximately 48% and 52% of total sales in 2022 and
2021, respectively.
Cost of Sales and Gross Margin
Cost of sales increased due to higher sales volume, inflation and acquisitions. Both Gross profit and Gross margin
increased primarily due to higher volume leverage, favorable price/cost and productivity and the acceleration of previously
deferred revenue related to the exit of a COVID-19 testing application, partially offset by increases in employee-related costs.
Gross profit also increased as a result of acquisitions, net of the Knight divestiture, partially offset by an unfavorable impact
from foreign currency translation.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses increased primarily due to the impact from acquisitions, including
amortization, as well as higher discretionary spending, resource investments and employee-related costs. Additionally, the prior
year included a $3.5 million impact of a settlement for a corporate transaction indemnity that did not reoccur in 2022.
25
Restructuring Expenses and Asset Impairments
Restructuring expenses and asset impairments increased primarily due to an asset impairment related to the exit of a
COVID-19 testing application, partially offset by lower severance costs in 2022. See Note 15 in the Notes to the Consolidated
Financial Statements for further detail.
Operating Income
Operating income increased 18%, reflecting a 19% increase in organic operating income, a 2% increase from acquisitions
net of divestitures (Knight - September 2022), a 1% favorable net impact from the exit of a COVID-19 testing application,
partially offset by a 4% unfavorable impact from foreign currency translation. The increase in organic operating income is
attributable to higher volume leverage, favorable price/cost and operational productivity, partially offset by increases in
employee-related costs, discretionary spending and resource investments.
Operating Margin
Operating margin increased 60 basis points, reflecting a 130 basis point increase in organic operating margin, partially
offset by a 70 basis point decrease due to acquisitions primarily driven by higher amortization. The increase in organic
operating margin is primarily due to higher volume leverage, favorable price/cost and operational productivity, partially offset
by increases in employee-related costs, discretionary spending and resource investments.
Gain on Sale of Business
In the third quarter of 2022, the Company completed the sale of Knight for proceeds of $49.4 million, net of cash remitted,
resulting in a pre-tax gain on the sale of $34.8 million. The Company recorded $5.5 million of income tax expense associated
with this transaction as Provision for income taxes in the Consolidated Statements of Income during the year ended December
31, 2022.
Other (Income) Expense - Net
Other (income) expense - net was $3.9 million of income in 2022 compared to $16.2 million of expense in 2021. The prior
year included an $8.6 million noncash loss related to the termination of the U.S. pension plan, net of curtailment and an $8.6
million loss on early debt redemption. Additionally, 2022 included $3.1 million of gains on the sale of assets and $2.5 million
of foreign currency transaction gains, partially offset by $2.3 million of losses on trading securities.
Interest Expense
Interest expense decreased primarily due to lower weighted average interest rates on the Company’s indebtedness, partially
offset by an increase in the amount of debt outstanding compared with 2021 due to borrowings under the Term Facility and the
Revolving Facility, both of which were used to fund the acquisition of Muon Group. Additionally, the prior year included $1.6
million of interest expense for the interest rate contract associated with the 4.20% Senior Notes that did not reoccur in 2022.
Income Taxes
The Company’s provision for income taxes is based upon estimated annual tax rates for the year applied to federal, state,
and foreign income. The provision for income taxes increased $32.2 million to $162.7 million in 2022 as compared with $130.5
million in 2021 due to higher earnings. The 2022 effective tax rate of 21.7% decreased compared with the 2021 effective tax
rate of 22.5% primarily due to tax benefits realized from the divestiture of Knight as well as from realizing foreign currency
impacts in connection with the funding of the acquisition of Muon Group.
Results of Reportable Business Segments
The Company has three reportable segments: Fluid & Metering Technologies (“FMT”), Health & Science Technologies
(“HST”) and Fire & Safety/Diversified Products (“FSDP”). For a detailed description of the operations within each segment,

Within its three reportable segments, the Company maintains 13 reporting units where the Company focuses on organic
growth and strategic acquisitions. Management’s primary measurements of segment performance are sales, Adjusted EBITDA
and Adjusted EBITDA margin.
During the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company changed the segment measure of profit and loss used by the Chief
Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 280, Segment
Reporting, from operating income to Adjusted EBITDA. The change in segment measure of profit and loss aligns with how the
CODM allocates resources and evaluates the performance of the business. It also allows the Company to better assess operating
results over time since it excludes items that are not reflective of ongoing operations. For further discussion related to the
Company’s change in the segment measure of profit and loss used by the CODM as well as the definition of Adjusted EBITDA,
refer to Note 14 in Part II, Item 8, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.”

Sales increased 24% domestically and 9% internationally. Sales to customers outside the U.S. were approximately
43% and 47% of total segment sales in 2022 and 2021, respectively.
The change in organic sales was attributed to increases in the Pumps reporting unit due to continued favorable demand
in the industrial and energy markets as well as strong price capture. Additionally, there were increases in the Energy
reporting unit due to a continued rebound in the refined fuel, liquefied petroleum gas and aviation markets as well as
improved operational performance, increases in the Agriculture reporting unit due to strong market performance driven
by favorable commodity prices and global demand for crops and increases in the Water reporting unit due to an overall
positive municipal water market and water-saving targeted growth initiatives.
Adjusted EBITDA margin of 32.1% increased 240 basis points compared with 29.7% in 2021. The change in Adjusted
EBITDA margin was attributed to the following:
◦
◦
Organic Adjusted EBITDA margin increased 280 basis points due to strong price/cost, favorable productivity
and higher volume leverage, partially offset by increases in employee-related costs, discretionary spending
and resource investments.
Acquisitions negatively impacted Adjusted EBITDA margin by 40 basis points due to the dilutive impact
from acquisitions on overall FMT Adjusted EBITDA margin.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity
Based on management’s current expectations and currently available information, the Company believes current cash, cash
from operations and cash available under the Revolving Facility will be sufficient to meet its 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, 2022, working capital was $855.7 million and the Company’s current ratio was 2.6 to 1. At December 31,
2022, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents totaled $430.2 million, of which $373.1 million was held outside of the United
States. At December 31, 2022, there was $77.7 million outstanding under the Revolving Facility and $7.9 million of
outstanding letters of credit, resulting in a net available borrowing capacity under the Revolving Facility of $714.4 million. The
Company believes that additional borrowings through various financing alternatives remain available, if required.

Cash flows provided by operating activities decreased $7.9 million to $557.4 million in 2022 as higher earnings were more
than offset by an increased investment in working capital.
Operating working capital, calculated as Receivables - net plus Inventories minus Trade accounts payable, is used by
management as a measurement of operational results as well as the short-term liquidity of the Company. The following table

Operating working capital increased $156.8 million to $704.8 million at December 31, 2022. Acquisitions, divestitures and
foreign currency translation contributed $31.9 million to the increase in operating working capital. Excluding those items,
Receivables - net increased $63.1 million as a result of higher volume; Inventories increased $79.0 million to support
production amid supply chain challenges; and Trade accounts payable increased $17.2 million due to higher inventory
purchases.
Investing Activities
Cash flows used in investing activities increased $219.1 million to $917.2 million in 2022, primarily due to higher cash
outflows for acquisitions with the addition of Muon Group, KZValve and Nexsight in 2022 compared to Airtech and ABEL in
2021, partially offset by proceeds received from both the sale of Knight and the sale of marketable securities in 2022 as well as
higher proceeds from asset sales in 2022 compared to 2021.
Financing Activities
Cash flows used in financing activities increased $28.3 million from $9.5 million in 2021 to $37.8 million in 2022. During
2022, the Company repurchased 795,423 shares at a cost of $148.1 million, paid $177.4 million in dividends, borrowed $210.4
million under the Revolving Facility and $200.0 million under the Term Facility and repaid $135.0 million of the Revolving
Facility. During 2021, the Company issued $500.0 million of 2.625% Senior Notes, redeemed $350.0 million of 4.20% Senior
Notes and paid $161.1 million in dividends.
Free Cash Flow
The Company believes free cash flow, a non-GAAP measure, is an important measure of performance because it provides a
measurement of cash generated from operations that is available for payment obligations such as operating cash requirements,
planned capital expenditures,
interest and principal payments on all borrowings, pension and postretirement funding
requirements and quarterly dividend payments to holders of the Company’s common stock as well as for funding acquisitions
and share repurchases. Free cash flow is calculated as cash flows provided by operating activities less capital expenditures.

The decrease in free cash flow as compared to 2021 is due to the increases in working capital discussed above, which more
than offset higher earnings.

Cash Requirements
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) and
Note 18 (pension and post-retirement obligations) in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, respectively. As of
totaled
December 31, 2022,
approximately $364.4 million, of which $336.4 million is expected to be settled during 2023 and the remainder thereafter.
the Company’s purchase obligations, consisting primarily of
inventory commitments,
Capital Expenditures
Capital expenditures generally include machinery and equipment that support growth and improved productivity, tooling,
business system technology, replacement of equipment and investments in new facilities. The Company believes it has
sufficient operating cash flows to continue to meet current obligations and invest in planned capital expenditures. In 2022 and
2021, cash flows from operations were more than adequate to fund capital expenditures of $68.0 million and $72.7 million,
respectively. The Company recently invested a significant amount of capital to expand the China facility which was completed
in late 2022 and the India facility which is expected to be completed in early 2023, ultimately doubling 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 it has ample capacity in its plants and equipment to meet demand increases for future growth in the
intermediate term, especially given its operational improvement initiatives that usually increase capacity.
Debt Repayment
As of December 31, 2022, the Company has $100.0 million of 3.20% Senior Notes due June 2023. The Company expects
to either refinance or repay the Notes using the available borrowing capacity of the Revolving Facility, due November 2027.
Share Repurchases
The Company repurchased 795,423 shares at a cost of $148.1 million in 2022. There were no share repurchases in 2021.
As of December 31, 2022, the amount of share repurchase authorization remaining was $563.8 million. For additional
information regarding the Company’s share repurchase program, refer to Note 12 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements.
Covenants
The key financial covenants that the Company is required to maintain in connection with the Revolving Facility, the Term
Facility and the 2016 Private Placement Notes, are a minimum interest coverage ratio of 3.0 to 1 and a maximum leverage ratio
of 3.50 to 1. At December 31, 2022, the Company was in compliance with both of these financial covenants, as the Company’s
interest coverage ratio was 24.39 to 1 for covenant calculation purposes and the leverage ratio was 1.55 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 August 2022.
• 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 2022.
32
Dividends
The Company increased its quarterly cash dividend by 11% from $0.54 per common share in 2021 to $0.60 per common
share in 2022. Total dividend payments to common shareholders were $177.4 million in 2022 compared with $161.1 million in
2021.
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, 2022, 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 2022 and 2021:
Assumptions
Weighted average cost of capital
Market multiples
Terminal growth rates
2022
Range
2021
Range
9.75% to 11.50%

2.5% to 3.5%
See Note 6 for further discussion on goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets.

Non-GAAP Disclosures
Set forth below are reconciliations of each of Organic sales, Adjusted net sales, Adjusted net income attributable to IDEX,
Adjusted diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) attributable to IDEX, Consolidated Adjusted earnings before interest, income
taxes, depreciation and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”) and Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA margin 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 from the exit of a COVID-19 testing application, gain on sale of a business, gains on sales of
assets, the impact of the settlement of a corporate transaction indemnity, the loss on early debt redemption, the noncash loss
related to the termination of the U.S. pension plan, net of curtailment and acquisition-related intangible asset amortization.
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.
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 and (3) the impact from the exit of a COVID-19 testing application. 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. The Company excludes the impact from the exit of a COVID-19 testing application because it is not
reflective of ongoing operations and can obscure underlying business trends.
Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA, which is EBITDA adjusted for items that are not reflective of ongoing
operations, is useful as a performance indicator of ongoing operations. The Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA is useful
to 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. Management
believes that Adjusted EBITDA margin is useful for the same reason as Adjusted EBITDA. The definition of Adjusted
EBITDA used here may differ from that used by other companies.
This report also references free cash flow. This non-GAAP measure is discussed and reconciled to its most directly
comparable GAAP measure in the section above titled “Free Cash Flow.”
The non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by the Company should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to,
financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Due to rounding, numbers presented throughout this and other
documents may not add up or recalculate precisely. The financial results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and the
reconciliations from these results should be carefully evaluated.

Item 7A. 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 as well
as inflationary factors. 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, 2022, 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, Swedish Krona and Brazilian Real. The Company manages its foreign
exchange risk principally through invoicing customers in the same currency as the source of products. The foreign currency
transaction (gains) losses for the periods ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 were $(0.8) million, $1.1 million and $3.0
million, respectively, and are reported within Other (Income) 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 has interest rate exposure due to $277.7 million of the $1,477.8 million debt outstanding at December 31,
2022 being floating rate debt. The Company’s Revolving Facility and Term Facility both bear interest at either an alternate base
rate or adjusted Term SOFR (or appropriate alternative currency reference rates) 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. At
December 31, 2022, there was $77.7 million outstanding under the Revolving Facility with an interest rate of 3.32% and $200.0
million outstanding under the Term Facility with an interest rate of 5.83%.
Inflation Risk
We source a wide variety of materials and components from a network of global suppliers. While materials are typically
available from numerous suppliers, they are subject to price fluctuations, which could have a negative impact on our results. We
seek to minimize the effects of inflation and changing prices through price increases to maintain reasonable gross margins.

Item 8. 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 Nexsight, KZValve and Muon Group (Note 2 -
Acquisitions and Divestitures) from its assessment of internal controls over financial reporting as these acquisitions occurred in
2022. 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 each approximately 3 percent of the Consolidated Financial Statement
amounts as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022. Based on that assessment, management has concluded that the
Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2022.
The effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, 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, 2022, 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, 2022, 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, 2022, of the Company and our
report dated February 23, 2023, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.
As described in Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting, management excluded Nexsight, KZValve
and Muon Group from its assessment of internal control over financial reporting as these acquisitions occurred in the twelve
months ended December 31, 2022. The combined net sales and total assets of these acquisitions represented approximately 3
percent for each of the consolidated financial statement amounts as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022. 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, 2022 and 2021, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, equity and cash flows, for
each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2022, 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, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in
the period ended December 31, 2022, 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, 2022, 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 23, 2023, 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:
42
• 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., cash receipts) 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.

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 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.
49
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 96% while revenue recognized over time is approximately 4%. 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 $14.9 million, $10.7 million and $9.9 million for 2022, 2021 and 2020, 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
From time to time, the Company may hold 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 (income) 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 Credit Losses
Accounts receivable are recorded at face amount less an allowance for credit losses. The allowance is an estimate based on
historical collection experience, current and future economic and market conditions and a review of the current status of each
customer's trade accounts receivable. Management evaluates the aging of the accounts receivable balances and the financial
50
condition of its customers and all other forward-looking information that is reasonably available 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 0.5 million, 0.3 million and 0.3 million shares of common stock in 2022, 2021 and
2020, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted EPS attributable to IDEX because the effect of their
inclusion would have been antidilutive.
51
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 the 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
Software
Research and Development Expenditures
5 to 20 years
5 to 20 years
5 to 20 years
7 to 20 years
5 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
$95.4 million, $82.9 million and $82.3 million in 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Research and development expenses,
which include costs associated with developing new products and major improvements to existing products, were $61.4 million,
$50.1 million and $48.2 million in 2022, 2021 and 2020, 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 (income) expense - net in the Consolidated
Statements of Income. Net (gain) loss for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 was $(0.8) million, $1.1 million
and $3.0 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.
52
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 November 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“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. The Company adopted this standard on a prospective
basis for the annual period beginning January 1, 2022. 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.
2. Acquisitions and Divestitures
All of the Company’s acquisitions of businesses have been accounted for under ASC 805, Business Combinations.
Accordingly, the assets and liabilities of the acquired companies, after adjustments to reflect the fair values assigned to the
assets and liabilities, have been included in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements from their respective dates of
acquisition. The results of operations of Flow Management Devices, LLC (“Flow MD”) (acquired February 28, 2020), Qualtek
Manufacturing, Inc. (“Qualtek”) (acquired November 23, 2020), ABEL Pumps, L.P. and certain of its affiliates (“ABEL”)
(acquired March 10, 2021), Airtech Group, Inc., US Valve Corporation and related entities (“Airtech”) (acquired June 14,
2021), Nexsight, LLC and its businesses Envirosight, WinCan, MyTana and Pipeline Renewal Technologies (“Nexsight”)
(acquired February 28, 2022), KZ CO. (“KZValve”) (acquired May 2, 2022) and Muon B.V. and its subsidiaries (“Muon
Group”) (acquired November 18, 2022) have been included in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements since the
respective dates of acquisition. The results of operations of Knight have been included in the Company’s Consolidated
Financial Statements through the date of disposition on September 9, 2022. Supplemental pro forma information has not been
provided as the acquisitions and divestiture did not have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial
Statements individually or in the aggregate.

subsequent adjustment. The Company will continue to make required adjustments to the purchase price allocation prior to the
completion of the measurement period.

from products and services transferred to customers at a point in time approximated 96% of total revenues in the year ended
December 31, 2022 and 95% of total revenues in each of the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. Revenue from products
and services transferred to customers over time approximated 4% of total revenues in the year ended December 31, 2022 and
5% of total revenues in each of the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.

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.
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.

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. 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, 2022, 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 2023 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 2022 and 2021, 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, 2022, 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 2022 and 2021, there were no
events or circumstances that would have required an interim impairment test.
Amortization of intangible assets was $69.0 million, $56.4 million and $41.8 million in 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Based on the intangible asset balances as of December 31, 2022, amortization expense is expected to approximate $91.2 million
in 2023, $86.7 million in 2024, $85.3 million in 2025, $83.6 million in 2026 and $79.8 million in 2027.

(1)As of December 31, 2022, the $100.0 million 3.20% Senior Notes, due in June 2023, have not been classified as Short-
term borrowings on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as the Company has the ability and intent to either refinance or repay
these Notes using the available borrowing capacity of the Revolving Facility, due November 2027. As a result, the 3.20%
Senior Notes remain classified as Long-term borrowings on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2022.
Revolving Credit Facility and Term Facility
On November 1, 2022, the Company amended and restated that certain five-year $800 million Credit Agreement, dated as
of May 31, 2019 that was due to expire in May 2024 (the “Original Credit Agreement” and, as amended and restated, 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 and a term
credit facility (the “Term Facility”) available to the Company in an aggregate principal amount of $200 million, both of which
have a final maturity date of November 1, 2027. The maturity date of the Revolving Facility may be extended under certain
conditions for an additional one-year term. Up to $100 million of the Revolving Facility is available for the issuance of letters
of credit. Additionally, up to $50 million of the Revolving Facility is available to the Company for swing line loans, available
on a same-day basis.
Proceeds of the Revolving Facility are available for use by the Borrowers for 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. Proceeds from the
Credit Agreement were used by the Company to pay a portion of the consideration for the acquisition of Muon Group.
66
Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest, at either an alternate base rate or Term SOFR rate (or appropriate
alternative currency reference rates) plus, in each case, an applicable margin. Such applicable margin is based on the better 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 Term SOFR rate 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 gives the Company the option to enter into a future environmental, social and governance
to the Company’s performance measured against certain key
amendment by which pricing may be adjusted pursuant
performance indicators agreed by the Company and BofA Securities, Inc., as sustainability coordinator.
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, equal to the applicable interest rate times the actual daily amount of the Revolving
Facility. Voluntary prepayments of any loans and voluntary reductions of the unutilized portion of the commitments under the
credit facility are permissible without penalty, subject to break funding payments and minimum notice and minimum reduction
amount requirements.
The Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants for such 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 and the 2.625% 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, there is an option to increase the ratio to 4.00 for 12
months in connection with certain acquisitions. At December 31, 2022, the Company was in compliance with each financial
covenant under the Credit Agreement and the Senior Notes, excluding the 3.00% Senior Notes and the 2.625% Senior Notes
which have no financial covenants. While there are no financial covenants relating to the 3.00% Senior Notes and the 2.625%
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, 2022, there was $77.7 million outstanding under the Revolving Facility with an interest rate of 3.32% and
$7.9 million of outstanding letters of credit, resulting in a net available borrowing capacity under the Revolving Facility of
approximately $714.4 million. In addition, there was $200.0 million outstanding under the Term Facility with an interest rate of
5.83%.
Issuance of 2.625% Senior Notes in 2021
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
67
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.
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 (income) 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 (income) expense - net in the Consolidated Statements of Income.
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.
68
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.

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 and 2020. As of December 31,
2022, 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 it within Other (income)
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 it within Other (income) expense - net in the Consolidated Statements of Income during the year
ended December 31, 2021. As of December 31, 2022 and 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
and 2020 was $3.3 million and $6.0 million, respectively.

9. Fair Value Measurements
ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, defines fair value, provides guidance for measuring fair value and
requires certain disclosures. This standard discusses valuation techniques, such as the market approach (comparable market
prices), the income approach (present value of future income or cash flow) and the cost approach (cost to replace the service
capacity of an asset or replacement cost). The standard utilizes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation
techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The following is a brief description of those three levels:
•
•
•
Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Inputs, other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These
include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets
or liabilities in markets that are not active.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions.
The following table summarizes the basis used to measure the Company’s financial assets (liabilities) at fair value on a
recurring basis in the balance sheets at December 31, 2022 and 2021:

(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 were included in Other current assets on the Company’s Consolidated Balance
Sheets and were available for overnight cash settlement, if necessary, to fund current operations. During the fourth quarter of
2022, the Company sold the securities for €39.9 million (or $39.7 million) which were originally purchased for €40.0 million
(or $45.3 million). The proceeds from the sale of these securities were used to contribute cash for the acquisition of Muon
Group.
There were no transfers of assets or liabilities between Level 1 and Level 2 in 2022 or 2021.
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,
2022 and 2021, the fair value of the outstanding indebtedness described in Note 7 based on quoted market prices and current
market rates for debt with similar credit risk and maturity was approximately $1,328.7 million and $1,219.9 million,
respectively, compared to the carrying value of $1,476.6 million and $1,198.7 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 and certain plant equipment under financing 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. Share Repurchases

The Company has $45.3 million and $40.6 million of permanently reinvested earnings of non-U.S. subsidiaries as of
December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. No deferred U.S. income taxes have been provided on the $45.3 million of earnings
that are considered to be permanently reinvested. The Company does not expect these earnings to 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 $6.8 million and $6.1 million as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
During the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, the Company repatriated $199.9 million, $116.0 million and
$27.0 million of foreign earnings, respectively. These actual distributions resulted in no incremental income tax expense other
than tax impacts on foreign exchange gains or losses. These repatriations represent distributions of previously taxed income.
A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits for 2022, 2021 and 2020 is as follows:
Beginning balance January 1
Gross increases for tax positions of prior years
Gross decreases for tax positions of prior years
Settlements

As of December 31, 2022, the Company has no remaining unrecognized tax benefits that would affect the Company’s
effective tax rate. The tax years 2017-2021 remain open to examination by major taxing jurisdictions. Due to the potential
federal, state, and foreign examinations, it is reasonably possible that the Company’s gross unrecognized tax benefits balance
may change.
As of December 31, 2022, the Company has minimal deferred tax assets on non-U.S. and U.S. state net operating loss
carryforwards of $0.1 million and $0.8 million, respectively. The entire balance of net operating losses across jurisdictions, the
majority of which relates to acquisitions, is available to be carried forward indefinitely. There is no valuation allowance as it is
more-likely-than-not that the net operating losses will be realized.
As of December 31, 2022, the Company has deferred tax assets on non-U.S. capital loss carryforwards of $3.0 million with
a full valuation allowance. The non-U.S. capital loss can be carried forward indefinitely.
75
As of December 31, 2022, the Company has deferred tax assets with a full valuation allowance recorded against foreign tax
credit carryforwards for U.S. federal purposes of approximately $11.9 million. The U.S. federal foreign tax credit carryforward
will expire between 2029 and 2032.
14. Business Segments and Geographic Information
IDEX has three reportable business segments: FMT, HST and FSDP.
The FMT segment designs, produces and distributes positive displacement pumps, valves, small volume provers, flow
meters, injectors and other fluid-handling pump modules and systems and provides flow monitoring and other services for the
food, chemical, general industrial, water and wastewater, agriculture and energy industries. FMT application-specific pump and

fuels and water and wastewater), energy, chemical processing, agriculture, food and beverage, semiconductor, pulp and paper,
automotive/transportation, plastics and resins, electronics and electrical, construction and mining, pharmaceutical and bio-
pharmaceutical, machinery and numerous other specialty niche markets.
The HST segment designs, produces and distributes a wide range of precision fluidics, rotary lobe pumps, centrifugal and
positive displacement pumps, roll compaction and drying systems, micro-precision components, pneumatic components and
sealing solutions, high performance molded and extruded sealing components, custom mechanical and shaft seals, engineered

industrial markets around the world.
Information on the Company’s business segments is presented below based on the nature of the products and services
offered. The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA as its principal measure of segment performance. Intersegment sales are
accounted for at fair value as if the sales were to third parties.
During the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company changed the segment measure of profit and loss used by the Chief
Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") in accordance with ASC 280, Segment Reporting, from operating income to Adjusted
EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, before
fair value inventory step-up charges, restructuring expenses and asset impairments, the impact from the exit of a COVID-19
testing application, the gain on sale of a business, the gains on sales of assets, the impact of the settlement of a corporate
transaction indemnity, the loss on early debt redemption and the noncash loss related to the termination of the U.S. pension
plan, net of curtailment. The change in segment measure of profit and loss aligns with how the CODM allocates resources and
evaluates the performance of the business. It also allows the Company to better assess operating results over time since it
excludes items that are not reflective of ongoing operations.

15. Restructuring Expenses and Asset Impairments
During 2022, 2021 and 2020, the Company incurred restructuring costs to facilitate long-term sustainable growth through
cost reduction actions, consisting of employee reductions, facility rationalization and contract termination costs. Restructuring
costs include severance costs, 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.
2022 Initiative
During the year ended December 31, 2022, the restructuring costs incurred by the Company primarily related to asset
impairments. In addition, the Company also incurred severance costs related to employee reductions.
In the second quarter of 2020, the Company engaged in the development of a COVID-19 testing application with a
customer at one of its businesses in the HST segment. As part of this contract, the customer fully funded the $28.7 million
investment needed to complete the development and production of microfluidic cartridges during 2020 and 2021. The costs
incurred by the Company were primarily recorded as Property, plant and equipment – net in the Consolidated Balance Sheets
and were being depreciated over the expected life of the assets, while the reimbursement was recorded as deferred revenue in
the Consolidated Balance Sheets and was being recognized as units were shipped.
In the third quarter of 2022, the Company was informed by the customer of its decision to discontinue further investment in
commercializing its COVID-19 testing application. This event was deemed a triggering event, which required an interim
impairment test be performed on the property, plant and equipment related to this contract, resulting in an impairment charge of
$16.8 million that was recorded as Restructuring expenses and asset impairments in the Consolidated Statements of Income
during the year ended December 31, 2022. In addition, the Company accelerated previously deferred revenue of $17.9 million
related to units that are no longer expected to be shipped and recorded as Net sales in the Consolidated Statements of Income
during the year ended December 31, 2022.
Pre-tax restructuring expenses and asset impairments by segment for the 2022 initiative were as follows:

16. 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, 2022 totaled 15.6 million, of which 2.0 million shares were available for future issuance.
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.
80
The Company’s policy is to recognize compensation cost on a straight-line basis, assuming forfeitures, over the requisite
service period for the entire award. Classification of stock compensation cost within the Consolidated Statements of Income is
consistent with classification of cash compensation for the same employees.
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 was 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
review of option exercise history, which more closely aligned with the methodology of the Black Scholes model. Stock options
generally 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 service period for certain retiree eligible participants is accelerated.
Weighted average option fair values and assumptions for the periods specified are as follows:

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.

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
2022, 2021 and 2020 was $17.4 million, $21.4 million and $41.3 million, respectively. In 2022, 2021 and 2020, cash received
from options exercised was $19.3 million, $19.7 million and $44.6 million, respectively, while the actual tax benefit realized for
the tax deductions from stock options exercised totaled $3.7 million, $4.5 million and $8.7 million, respectively.
Total compensation cost for stock options is recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Income as follows:

Restricted Stock
Restricted stock awards generally cliff vest after three years for employees and non-employee directors. The service period
for certain retiree eligible participants is accelerated. 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 summary of the Company’s restricted stock activity as of
December 31, 2022, and changes during the year ended December 31, 2022 is as follows:

The Company also maintains a cash-settled share based compensation plan for certain employees. Cash-settled restricted
stock awards generally cliff vest after three years. The service period for certain retiree eligible participants is accelerated.
Cash-settled restricted stock awards are recorded at fair value on a quarterly basis using the market price of the Company’s
stock on the last day of the quarter. Dividend equivalents are paid on certain cash-settled restricted stock awards. A summary of

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 S&P 500 Index 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
83
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 31,370, 29,020 and 42,690 performance share units in
2022, 2021 and 2020, 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.

18. 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
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.
The IDEX Corporation Retirement Plan (“Plan”), a U.S. defined benefit 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 (income) 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
(income) 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 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 (income) 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 assets of approximately $10.2 million, representing cash equivalents held in a trust. These plan assets were
included in Other current assets on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. These plan assets were used to fund other
retirement benefit plans and were fully depleted as of December 31, 2022.

The pension benefits actuarial gain in 2022 was primarily driven by the increase in the discount rates from 2021 to 2022.
The U.S. pension actuarial gain was partially offset by a small experience loss. The non-U.S. pension actuarial gain was
partially offset by inflation-related and small experience losses recognized during the year.
The other benefits actuarial gain in 2022 was primarily driven by the increase in the discount rates from 2021 to 2022 with

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.
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 $16.1 million, $12.8 million and $12.5 million for 2022, 2021 and 2020,
respectively.

The Company, through its subsidiaries, participates in certain multi-employer pension plans covering approximately 216
participants under U.S. collective bargaining agreements. None of these plans are considered individually significant to the
Company as contributions to these plans totaled $0.8 million, $1.0 million, and $1.1 million for 2022, 2021 and 2020,
respectively.
For measurement purposes, a 5.59% weighted average annual rate of increase in the per capita cost of covered health care
benefits was assumed for 2022. The rate was assumed to decrease gradually each year to a rate of 4.00% for 2040, and remain
at that level thereafter.
Plan Assets
The Company’s pension plan weighted average asset allocations at December 31, 2022 and 2021, by asset category, were

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 57% to 67% of the market value of total fund assets with a target of 62%, and
“fixed income” obligations, including cash, will constitute from 33% to 43% 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. 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, 2022, there were no shares of the Company’s stock held in plan assets.
Cash Flows
The Company expects to contribute approximately $3.9 million to its defined benefit plans and $1.1 million to its other
postretirement benefit plans in 2023. The Company also expects to contribute approximately $16.2 million to its defined
contribution plan and $12.1 million to its 401(k) savings plan in 2023 using cash on hand.
