Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

  1. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of IDEX Corporation (“IDEX” or the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) applicable to interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The statements are unaudited but include all adjustments, consisting only of recurring items, except as noted, that the Company considers necessary for a fair presentation of the information set forth herein. The results of operations for thethree months ended March 31, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year.

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements set forth in this report should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires public entities to disclose, within the footnotes to the financial statements, disaggregated information about certain income statement expense captions, including disclosure of amounts for purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation and intangible asset amortization, included in each relevant expense caption. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Adoption of this ASU should be applied prospectively, but may be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard on the Company’s financial statement disclosures and expects the standard will increase disclosures in the Company’s annual and interim reporting when adopted.

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-10, Accounting for Government Grants Received by Business Entities, which establishes authoritative guidance on the accounting for government grants to business entities. ASU 2025-10 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2028. Adoption of this ASU may be applied using a modified prospective, modified retrospective or retrospective approach. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard on the Company’s financial statement disclosures, but does not expect the impact to be material.

  1. Acquisitions and Divestitures

All of the Company’s acquisitions of businesses have been accounted for under Accounting Standards Codification (“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 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets from their respective dates of acquisition. The results of operations of businesses acquired have been included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income since their respective dates of acquisition. Supplemental pro forma information has not been provided as the acquisitions did not have a material impact on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements individually or in the aggregate.

The Company makes a preliminary allocation of the purchase price for each acquisition as of the acquisition date based on its understanding of the fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities. These nonrecurring fair value measurements are classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. As the Company continues to obtain additional information, primarily related to the valuations of these assets and liabilities, and continues to integrate the newly acquired business, the Company will refine the estimates of fair value and more accurately allocate the purchase price through the completion of the measurement period, which is not to exceedone year from the date of acquisition. Only items that existed as of the acquisition date are considered for subsequent adjustment to the purchase price allocation. Goodwill recognized reflects the strategic fit, revenue and earnings growth potential of the acquired business and its synergies with existing IDEX businesses.

2025 Acquisitions

Micro-LAM, Inc.

On July 29, 2025, the Company acquired Micro-LAM, Inc. (“Micro-LAM”) in a stock acquisition. Micro-LAM is an advanced optics manufacturer of laser-assisted machining, ultra-precision diamond tools and custom optics that is complementary to the Company’s Optics Technologies solutions. Headquartered in Portage, Michigan, Micro-LAM operates in the Company’s Scientific Fluidics & Optics reporting unit within the Health & Science Technologies segment. Micro-LAM was acquired for cash consideration of $80.4 million, net of cash acquired of $0.3 million, plus a potential earnout of up to $12.0 million of additional cash consideration based upon the achievement of certain financial performance targets over atwo-year period. Total consideration of $81.6 million includes the fair value of the potential earnout as of the acquisition date of $1.2 million. For additional discussion of the earnout valuation, refer to Note 9, “Fair Value Measurements.” The acquisition was funded using additional borrowings under the Company’s Revolving Facility (as defined in Note 8, “Borrowings”). Goodwill and intangible assets recognized as part of this transaction were $37.2 million and $44.6 million, respectively. The goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes.

As of March 31, 2026, the preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, based on their estimated fair values at the acquisition date, is as follows:

Total

  1. Revenue

Disaggregation of Revenue

The Company has a comprehensive offering of products, including technologies, built to customers’ specifications that are sold in niche markets throughout the world. The Company disaggregates revenue from contracts with customers by reporting unit and geographical region for each segment as the Company believes it best depicts how the amount, nature, timing and uncertainty of its revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. Revenue, presented as Net sales on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, was attributed to geographical region based on the location of the customer. The following tables present revenue disaggregated by reporting unit and geographical region.

Revenue by reporting unit for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was as follows:

The current portion is included in Accrued expenses and the noncurrent portion is included in Other noncurrent liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The composition of deferred revenue was as follows:

March 31, 2026December 31, 2025

  1. 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 common shares outstanding (basic) plus common stock equivalents outstanding (diluted) for the period. Common stock equivalents consist of restricted stock, performance share units and stock options, which have been included in the calculation of weighted average common shares outstanding using the treasury stock method.

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 both participating and non-participating securities. Dividend rights for restricted stock awards issued under the IDEX Corporation 2024 Incentive Award Plan (the “2024 Incentive Award Plan”) are subject to the same vesting requirements as the underlying restricted stock awards, and therefore, these awards are considered non-participating securities. Dividend rights for restricted stock awards issued prior to the adoption of the 2024 Incentive Award Plan are non-forfeitable and are not subject to the same vesting requirements as the underlying restricted stock awards. As such, these awards have been determined to be participating securities. Accordingly, Diluted EPS attributable to IDEX was computed using the two-class method.

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

Three Months Ended March 31,
20262025
Basic weighted average common shares outstanding74.375.7
Dilutive effect of restricted stock, performance share units and stock options0.10.1
Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding74.475.8

Share-based payment awards of approximately 0.6 million and 0.5 million shares of common stock for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, were not included in the computation of Diluted EPS attributable to IDEX because the effect of their inclusion would have been antidilutive.

The impairment charge is included in Restructuring expenses and asset impairments in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

Other than noted above, there have been no events or circumstances since the last annual assessment date, October 31, 2025, that would have required an interim impairment test.

Amortization of intangible assets was $33.8 million and $31.5 million for thethree months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Based on the intangible asset balances as of March 31, 2026, expected amortization expense for the remaining nine months of 2026 and for the years 2027 through 2030 is as follows:

(1)At March 31, 2026, there was $280.1 million outstanding under the Revolving Facility and $2.7 million of outstanding letters of credit, resulting in a net available borrowing capacity under the Revolving Facility of approximately $517.2 million. During the first quarter of 2026, the Company drew down an aggregate amount of $100.0 million under the Revolving Facility which was used for general corporate purposes, including to finance share repurchases. The Company repaid $45.3 million under the Revolving Facility during the first quarter of 2026. The weighted-average interest rate for borrowings outstanding under the Revolving Facility was 3.68% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 3.55% for the year ended December 31, 2025.

  1. Fair Value Measurements

The accounting guidance for fair value measurements and disclosures establishes a three-level fair value hierarchy:

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 and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis in the balance sheets at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025:

March 31, 2026

Contingent consideration(2)——1.21.2

(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. The SERP investment assets and liability are included in Other noncurrent assets and Other noncurrent liabilities, respectively, on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

(2) In connection with the acquisition of Micro-LAM, the Company entered into an earnout agreement that may require us to make future cash consideration payments of up to $12.0 million based upon the achievement of certain financial performance targets from January 1, 2026 to December 31, 2027. As of March 31, 2026, $0.4 million of contingent consideration related to the Micro-LAM acquisition has been included in Accrued expenses and $0.8 million has been included in Other noncurrent liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of December 31, 2025, $1.2 million of contingent consideration related to the Micro-LAM acquisition was included in Other noncurrent liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The contingent consideration was derived using a Monte Carlo simulation model which utilizes inputs including discount rates, volatility rates, and estimated probability of achieving projected revenue and profitability targets. This fair value measurement of contingent consideration is categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, as the measurement amount is based primarily on significant inputs that are not observable in the market. The fair value of the contingent consideration is re-measured at each reporting period, and the change in fair value is recognized within Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. There wasno change in the fair value measurement of contingent consideration during the three months ended March 31, 2026.

There were no transfers of assets or liabilities between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 during the three months ended March 31, 2026 or the year ended December 31, 2025.

The carrying values of the Company’s other financial instruments (i.e., cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses) approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

Certain non-financial assets, primarily property, plant and equipment, goodwill and intangible assets, are not required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis and are reported at their carrying value. However, these assets are required to be assessed for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that their carrying value may not be fully recoverable, and at least annually for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets. See Note 7, “Goodwill and Intangible Assets,” for additional information about these assets.

The following table provides the fair value of the outstanding indebtedness described in Note 8, “Borrowings,” which is based on quoted market prices and current market rates for debt with similar credit risk and maturity, as well as the carrying value. 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.
