IDEX Corporation (NYSE:IEX) today announced its financial results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2024.

"IDEX teams drove a strong finish to the year and continued to deliver on their commitments to customers in an increasingly uncertain environment. Our company continues to write its next chapter, positioning us for dynamic growth in markets powered by global megatrends. Our 80/20 mindset allows us to adjust resources and self-fund the buildout of scale as we bring newly-acquired and longtime IDEX companies together to grow within advantaged markets," said Eric D. Ashleman, IDEX Corporation Chief Executive Officer and President.

"In our Health & Science Technologies segment, we are encouraged by the continued pattern of strong organic orders growth. The teams delivered key customer projects that offset some ongoing headwinds within our most important application verticals. Mott, our most recent acquisition, achieved strong results within their first quarter with IDEX as they delivered a significant advanced filtration systems project," Ashleman said.

"Our Fluid & Metering Technologies teams drove modest orders, sales and profitability growth overall across a broad spectrum of industrial and municipal markets. Our Fire & Safety / Diversified Products teams achieved another quarter of record sales and solid organic growth driven by positive returns on long term automation bets within mature market firefighting technologies and emerging market architectural coatings."

"We face a fair amount of geopolitical and economic uncertainty as we head into 2025. However, we continue to have conviction in the underlying strength of our target markets and the ability of our teams to collaborate across businesses to drive organic and inorganic growth. We'll continue to leverage our 80/20 capabilities to focus resources on our best opportunities and streamline the organization to make sure we are making the right decisions at the point of impact. We remain committed to a path towards double-digit earnings expansion enabled by organic and inorganic growth outperformance."

Fourth Quarter

Net sales increased largely due to the net impact of acquisitions and divestitures, as newly acquired Mott Corporation ("Mott") delivered a major project, and strong price capture was realized across all segments.
Gross margin decreased as the benefit from strong price/cost and operational productivity across all segments was offset by higher employee-related costs, unfavorable mix, higher discretionary spending and the net dilutive impact of acquisitions and divestitures, including higher fair value inventory step-up charges. Adjusted gross margin improved as it was not negatively impacted by fair value inventory step-up charges.
Diluted EPS and Adjusted diluted EPS both increased, reflecting higher operational results and certain discrete tax benefits during the current year period, partly offset by higher interest due to financing for the Mott acquisition and higher depreciation expense. On a GAAP basis, higher amortization expense was offset by the absence of the loss on the sale of Novotema, SpA ("Novotema") recorded during the prior year period.
Cash flows from operations and free cash flow both decreased. Higher earnings were more than offset by the timing of customer deposits and project deliveries as well as the timing of payment for inventory purchases. The impact of lower cash flows from operations on free cash flows was partly mitigated by lower capital spending in the current year period.

Full Year

Net sales decreased as a result of lower volumes, primarily within our Health & Science Technologies businesses driven by broad based market softness throughout the year, which was mostly offset by strong price capture across all segments as well as the net benefit of acquisitions and divestitures.
Gross margin was relatively flat. Strong price/cost and improved operational productivity, net of lower volume leverage, were offset by higher employee-related costs and unfavorable mix. Adjusted gross margin improved as it was not negatively impacted by higher fair value inventory step-up charges.
Diluted EPS and Adjusted diluted EPS both decreased, reflecting lower operating results and higher depreciation expense. GAAP Diluted EPS also reflects higher amortization expense as well as the absence of the gain on sale of Micropump, Inc. recorded during the prior year period and the related tax expense during the prior year period, all of which was excluded from Adjusted diluted EPS.
Cash flows from operations and free cash flow both decreased, reflecting lower earnings, the timing of customer deposits and project deliveries as well as larger inventory reductions in the prior year period. Lower cash payments in 2024 compared to the prior year, including payments for taxes, variable compensation and interest, partly mitigated these items. The impact of lower cash flows from operations on free cash flows was partly mitigated by lower capital spending in 2024 compared to the prior year.

(b) Segment Adjusted EBITDA excludes unallocated corporate costs which are included in Corporate and other.

Fluid & Metering Technologies Segment

Net sales for the fourth quarter 2024 were relatively flat compared to the prior year period. Organic growth of 3% was driven by price capture, which was offset by the impact of divestitures. Volumes also increased slightly with targeted growth initiatives, industrial projects, and strength in water markets more than offsetting softness in agriculture and energy markets.
Adjusted EBITDA margin for the fourth quarter 2024 increased primarily due to favorable operational productivity, strong price/cost and the accretive impact of divestitures, partially offset by higher employee-related costs and higher discretionary spending.

Health & Science Technologies Segment

Net sales for the fourth quarter 2024 were up 19% driven by the acquisition of Mott. Organic sales were flat as strong price capture and the execution of targeted growth initiatives were offset by cyclical softness in the life sciences, automotive, and semiconductor markets.
Adjusted EBITDA margin for the fourth quarter 2024 increased primarily due to strong price/cost and favorable operational productivity, net of lower volume leverage, partially offset by higher employee-related costs, higher discretionary spending and the net dilutive impact of acquisitions and divestitures.

Fire & Safety/Diversified Products Segment

Net sales for the fourth quarter 2024 were up 8% as a result of organic growth, driven by higher volumes and price capture reflecting continued recovery in fire original equipment manufacturer markets, targeted growth initiatives, and projects in China, which more than offset softer demand in automotive and aerospace markets and unfavorable mix due to the cyclical nature of project sales in our North American dispensing business.
Adjusted EBITDA margin for the fourth quarter 2024 decreased due to unfavorable mix and higher employee-related costs, partially offset by higher volumes, favorable operational productivity and strong price/cost.

Corporate Costs

Corporate costs included in consolidated Adjusted EBITDA were $20.1 million during the fourth quarter of 2024, $0.8 million lower compared with the same prior year period.

Other Fourth Quarter Items

Repaid the remaining balance of $25.0 million under our term facility in October 2024.
Repaid $69.1 million in October 2024, leaving $269.8 million outstanding under our revolving credit facility.

Non-GAAP Measures of Financial Performance

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

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

Organic orders and organic sales are calculated as orders and Net sales excluding amounts from acquired or divested businesses during the first twelve months of ownership or prior to divestiture and excluding the impact of foreign currency translation.
Adjusted gross profit is calculated as gross profit plus fair value inventory step-up charges.
Adjusted gross margin is calculated as adjusted gross profit divided by net sales.
Adjusted net income attributable to IDEX is calculated as net income attributable to IDEX plus fair value inventory step-up charges, plus restructuring expenses and asset impairments, less the gain on sale of businesses - net, plus the credit loss on a note receivable from a collaborative partner, plus acquisition-related intangible asset amortization, all net of the statutory tax expense or benefit.
Adjusted diluted EPS attributable to IDEX is calculated as adjusted net income attributable to IDEX divided by the diluted weighted average shares outstanding.
Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as consolidated earnings before interest expense - net, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, or consolidated EBITDA, less the gain on sale of businesses - net, plus fair value inventory step-up charges, plus restructuring expenses and asset impairments, plus the credit loss on a note receivable from a collaborative partner.
