Risks Related to Our Operations

New in FY2020

Our business, results of operations and financial condition have been and may continue to be materially adversely impacted by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

New in FY2020

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has been a rapidly-changing situation that has negatively impacted and could continue to negatively impact the global economy.

New in FY2020

Our operating results are subject to fluctuations based on general economic conditions and have been adversely affected by the negative general economic conditions.

New in FY2020

The extent to which COVID-19 continues to impact our business will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, such as the duration of the outbreak and business closures or business disruptions for our Company, our suppliers and our customers.

New in FY2020

The deterioration in economic conditions materially reduced, and could continue to reduce, the Company’s sales and profitability.

New in FY2020

Although we began to see improvement in our end markets beginning in the third quarter of 2020 and continuing through the fourth quarter of 2020, the financial distress our customers have experienced due to the deterioration in economic conditions has resulted in and could continue to result in reduced sales which has and could continue to negatively impact our results of operations.

New in FY2020

Any changes in or resurgence of the COVID-19 outbreak could also have a material impact on our ability to get the raw materials, parts and components we need to manufacture our products as our suppliers face disruptions in their businesses, closures or bankruptcy as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak.

New in FY2020

We depend greatly on our suppliers for items that are essential to the manufacturing of our products.

New in FY2020

Although we have not experienced material supply chain disruptions to date, if our suppliers fail to meet our manufacturing needs in the future, it would delay our production and our product shipments to customers and negatively affect our operations.

New in FY2020

U.S and international government responses to the COVID-19 outbreak have included “shelter in place”, “stay at home” and similar types of orders.

New in FY2020

These orders exempt certain individuals needed to maintain continuity of operations of critical infrastructure sectors as determined by the U.S. federal and international governmental bodies.

New in FY2020

Although the Company’s operations are currently considered essential and exempt, if any of the applicable exemptions are curtailed or revoked in the future, including in response to any COVID-19 resurgence, that would adversely impact our business, operating results and financial condition.

New in FY2020

Furthermore, to the extent these exemptions do not extend to our key suppliers and customers, this would also adversely impact our business, operating results and financial condition.

New in FY2020

We have also implemented work-from-home policies for certain “non-essential” employees.

New in FY2020

Although these work-from-home policies have not negatively impacted our business in any material respect to date, the COVID-19 outbreak is dynamic and any future resurgences could negatively impact productivity, disrupt conduct of our business in the ordinary course and delay our production timelines.

New in FY2020

Due to the large remote workforce populations, we may also face informational technology infrastructure and connectivity issues from the vendors that we rely on for certain information technologies to administer, store and support the Company’s multiple business activities.

New in FY2020

IDEX is heavily dependent on the availability and support of our technology landscape, several of which are provided by external third party service providers (e.g., Microsoft, AT&T and Verizon).

New in FY2020

Although we have not suffered any disruptions to date, any future disruptions in their operations could also negatively impact our business, operating results and financial condition.

New in FY2020

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

2020 Overview

New in FY2020

*•*Our Health & Science Technologies segment focuses on precision engineered fluidics to support and enable growth in analytical instrumentation and the life sciences as well as pneumatic components and proprietary high performance seals and advanced sealing solutions.

New in FY2020

Within the fields of health and science, we leverage our capabilities in small-scale, highly accurate fluidics components and medical devices as well as integrated systems and solutions to support the worldwide growth in pharmaceutical drug discovery and new applications in life sciences and diagnostic testing.

“Business” of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

New in FY2020

- Sales of $2.4 billion were down 6.0% and organic sales were down 9.0% compared to the prior year, partially offset by a 3% increase in sales due to acquisitions (Flow MD - February 2020 and Velcora - July 2019).

New in FY2020

- Net income decreased 11% from the prior year to $377.8 million in 2020.

New in FY2020

New in FY2020

- Adjusted net income decreased 11% from the prior year to $396.5 million in 2020.

New in FY2020

The Company is contributing in efforts to end the COVID-19 pandemic with several of our businesses pivoting to support many products that are being used in the fight against COVID-19.

New in FY2020

Safety is our top priority and we have implemented protocols at all of our facilities, including temperature taking, social distancing, enhanced cleaning and face coverings.

New in FY2020

These measures have enabled successful business continuity, allowing our facilities to remain in operation with only temporary shutdowns at the initial onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.

New in FY2020

Although we have remained in operation throughout the pandemic, satisfying customer needs in part through our focus on the development and manufacturing of products used in the fight against COVID-19, the pandemic and the enacted containment measures have adversely affected our business and results of operations.

New in FY2020

From the onset of the pandemic through the second quarter of 2020, our customers purchased less product than they have historically purchased; however, beginning in the third quarter and continuing through the fourth quarter of 2020 we began to see improvement in our end markets and we expect our end markets to continue to normalize to historical levels through 2021.

New in FY2020

Additionally, IDEX has implemented cost reduction actions, including employee reductions and facility consolidations, and continues to maintain a tight cost control environment.

New in FY2020

Moreover, COVID-19 and related measures to contain its impact have caused material disruptions in both national and global financial markets and economies.

New in FY2020

The continuing impact of COVID-19 and the enacted containment measures cannot be predicted and may continue to adversely affect, perhaps materially, our business, results of operations, financial condition and liquidity.

The $30.1 million decrease is primarily due to restructuring savings, lower discretionary spending and lower stock compensation costs due to the departure of our former Chief Executive Officer, partially offset by increased funding of the IDEX Foundation and higher acquisition costs.

New in FY2020

The restructuring expenses and asset impairments in 2020 included severance benefits of $8.5 million, exit costs of $0.2 million and asset impairments of $3.1 million.

New in FY2020

In the fourth quarter of 2020, the Company consolidated certain facilities within the FMT segment resulting in an impairment charge of $2.5 million, consisting of $1.6 million related to property, plant and equipment which was not relocated to the new location and $0.9 million related to a building right-of-use asset that was exited early.

New in FY2020

The Company also relocated its corporate office resulting in an impairment charge of $0.6 million, consisting of $0.2 million related to property, plant and equipment which was not relocated to the new location and $0.4 million related to a building right-of-use asset that was exited early.

New in FY2020

Both operating income and operating margin decreased compared to 2019 primarily due to lower volume and business mix, partially offset by price capture and cost savings in the current year as well as higher asset impairments in the prior year.

New in FY2020

Other (income) expense - net increased by $3.9 million from expense of $1.8 million in 2019 to expense of $5.6 million in 2020 primarily due to an $8.4 million loss on early debt redemption, partially offset by $3.5 million of lower pension expense and $0.6 million of higher gains on pension-related investments in 2020.

New in FY2020

The increase was primarily due to borrowings under the Revolving Facility (defined below) in 2020 and interest expense on the new 3.0% Senior Notes (defined below) issued during the second quarter of 2020, partially offset by write-offs related to the 4.2% Senior Notes (defined below).

New in FY2020

The effective tax rate decreased to 19.7% in 2020 compared to 20.2% in 2019 due to benefits associated with the finalization of the Global Intangible Low-Tax Income (“GILTI”) regulations in the third quarter of 2020 and the mix of global pre-tax income among jurisdictions.

We have reconciled Adjusted gross profit to Gross profit, Adjusted operating income to Operating income; Adjusted net income to Net income; Adjusted EPS to EPS; and consolidated EBITDA, segment EBITDA, adjusted consolidated EBITDA and adjusted segment EBITDA to Net income.

New in FY2020

The reconciliation of segment EBITDA to net income was performed on a consolidated basis due to the fact that we do not allocate consolidated interest expense or the consolidated provision for income taxes to our segments.

New in FY2020

Management believes that EBITDA is useful to investors as an indicator of the strength and performance of the Company and a way to evaluate and compare operating performance and value companies within our industry.

New in FY2020

Management believes that EBITDA margin is useful for the same reason as EBITDA.

Management believes that reporting organic sales provides useful information to investors by helping identify underlying growth trends in our business and facilitating easier comparisons of our revenue performance with prior and future periods and to our peers.
