IDEX Corporation (NYSE: IEX) today announced its financial results for the three month period ended March 31, 2021.

First Quarter 2021 Highlights

• Record orders and sales were up 10 percent overall and 6 percent organically compared to Q1 2020
• Reported operating margin was 23.9 percent with adjusted operating margin of 24.3 percent
• Reported EPS was $1.48 with adjusted EPS of $1.51
• Record Q1 cash from operations of $109.3 million led to record Q1 free cash flow of $94.7 million
• Full year adjusted EPS guidance raised to $6.05 to $6.20
• Completed the acquisition of ABEL Pumps, L.P. on March 10, 2021
• Reached an agreement in April 2021 to acquire Airtech Group, Inc., US Valve Corporation and related entities (Airtech)

First Quarter 2021

Orders of $710.7 million were up 10 percent compared with the prior year period (+6 percent organic, +1 percent acquisitions and +3 percent foreign currency translation).

Sales of $652.0 million were up 10 percent compared with the prior year period (+6 percent organic, +1 percent acquisitions and +3 percent foreign currency translation).

Gross margin of 44.9 percent was down 80 basis points compared with the prior year period primarily as a result of increases to inventory reserves associated with COVID-19 new product development (NPD) opportunities not materializing, lower margins from the ABEL and Flow MD acquisitions and a fair value inventory step-up charge, partially offset by higher volume and price. Excluding the $0.7 million pre-tax fair value inventory step-up charge related to the ABEL acquisition, adjusted gross margin of 45.0 percent was down 70 basis points compared with the prior year period.

Operating income of $155.5 million resulted in an operating margin of 23.9 percent which was up 40 basis points compared with the prior year period primarily as a result of higher volume, price and cost savings, partially offset by restructuring expenses and asset impairments and lower gross margin. Excluding the $0.7 million pre-tax fair value inventory step-up charge and $2.2 million of restructuring expenses and asset impairments, adjusted operating income was $158.4 million with an adjusted operating margin of 24.3 percent, up 80 basis points compared with the prior year period.

Provision for income taxes of $32.9 million in the first quarter of 2021 resulted in an effective tax rate (ETR) of 22.6 percent, which was higher than the prior year period ETR of 20.0 percent primarily due to a decrease in the excess tax benefits related to share-based compensation.

Net income attributable to IDEX was $112.7 million which resulted in EPS attributable to IDEX of $1.48. Excluding the fair value inventory step-up charge and restructuring expenses and asset impairments, adjusted EPS attributable to IDEX was $1.51, an increase of 18 cents, or 14 percent, from the prior year period. EBITDA of $177.9 million was 27.3 percent of sales and covered interest expense by almost 17 times. Adjusted EBITDA of $180.8 million was 27.7 percent of sales and covered interest expense by almost 17 times.

Cash from operations of $109.3 million was up 29.0 percent from the prior year period primarily due to higher earnings and a favorable impact from the timing of accrued expenses. Cash from operations led to free cash flow of $94.7 million, which was up 32 percent from the prior year period and was 82 percent of adjusted net income attributable to IDEX.

“Our first quarter results were strong, with demand improving both sequentially and year over year as an uneven global recovery continues. We booked record first quarter orders of $711 million and built $59 million of additional backlog. Organic orders and sales were solid in the first quarter, both up 6 percent. Our teams have performed well amid a variety of obstacles, meeting the challenges as market conditions improved. Strong execution by our teams continues to be central to maintaining our critical supply chains, staying ahead of inflation and converting orders to cash. This execution delivered robust operating margin, EPS and free cash flow that exceeded our expectations. First quarter adjusted operating margin of 24.3 percent drove adjusted EPS of $1.51, up 14% versus prior year. Cash conversion continued to be outstanding, with record free cash flow of $95 million in the first quarter, which was 32 percent higher compared to the prior year period.
In addition to delivering strong financial results, we have been able to make significant progress in our capital deployment efforts. Earlier today, we announced our second acquisition for 2021. We have entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Airtech. Airtech is a leading global manufacturer of highly engineered specialty blowers, vacuum pumps and valves. It will be an excellent complement to our existing GAST business in the Health & Science Technologies (HST) segment. The M&A funnel remains robust and we are fully committed to pursuing additional opportunities in 2021 that will create value for our shareholders, customers and employees.
With the strong start to 2021, combined with improved market conditions, we are raising our full year adjusted EPS guidance to $6.05 to $6.20 with second quarter adjusted EPS of $1.60 to $1.63. We are also increasing our full year organic revenue growth expectations to 9 to 10 percent with 18 to 20 percent growth in the second quarter.”

Headquartered in Büchen, Germany, with sales and service locations in Madrid, Spain and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, ABEL operates in our Pumps reporting unit within the Fluid & Metering Technologies segment.

Non-U.S. GAAP Measures of Financial Performance

The Company supplements certain U.S. GAAP financial performance metrics with non-U.S. GAAP financial performance metrics. Management believes these non-U.S. 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, such as restructuring expenses and asset impairments and a fair value inventory step-up charge. Reconciliations of non-U.S. GAAP financial performance metrics to their most comparable U.S. 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 U.S. GAAP. There were no adjustments to U.S. GAAP financial performance metrics other than the items noted below.

• Organic orders and sales are calculated excluding amounts from acquired or divested businesses during the first twelve months of ownership or prior to divestiture and 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 operating income is calculated as operating income plus fair value inventory step-up charges plus restructuring expenses and asset impairments.
• Adjusted operating margin is calculated as adjusted operating income divided by net sales.
• Adjusted net income is calculated as net income plus fair value inventory step-up charges plus restructuring expenses and asset impairments, net of the statutory tax expense or benefit.
• Adjusted EPS is calculated as adjusted net income divided by the diluted weighted average shares outstanding.
• EBITDA is calculated as net income plus interest expense plus provision for income taxes plus depreciation and amortization. We reconcile EBITDA to net income on a consolidated basis as we do not allocate consolidated interest expense or consolidated provision for income taxes to our segments.
• EBITDA interest coverage is calculated as EBITDA divided by consolidated interest expense.
• Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as EBITDA plus fair value inventory step-up charges plus restructuring expenses and asset impairments.
• Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated as adjusted EBITDA divided by net sales.
• Adjusted EBITDA interest coverage is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA divided by consolidated interest expense.
• Free cash flow is calculated as cash flow from operating activities less capital expenditures.
