Current report

•Net sales of $951.7 million increased 8% on both a reported basis and organically*

Current report

During the third quarter of 2026, the Company delivered strong results as continuous improvement efforts, the power of 8020, and measured pricing actions continued to expand margins while absorbing higher costs. Continued growth in targeted advantaged markets, including data centers, semiconductor and space and defense, primarily within the Health & Science Technologies (“HST”) segment, was complemented by broadening industrial strength across Fluid & Metering Technologies’ (“FMT”) and Fire & Safety/Diversified Products (“FSDP”).

Current report

The three months ended September 30, 2026 included a $0.7 million reduction of Cost of sales as well as a $1.6 million benefit to Net sales for revisions to estimated customer rebates, which together increased Gross margin by 10 basis points and contributed $0.02 to diluted EPS attributable to IDEX. The nine months ended September 30, 2026 included a $22.7 million reduction of Cost of sales as well as a $13.1 million reduction of Net sales from expected customer rebates associated with the refunds, which decreased organic sales growth by 1%, increased Gross margin 60 basis points and contributed $0.10 to diluted EPS attributable to IDEX during the nine months ended September 30, 2026.

Current report

Gross profit and Gross margin for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 benefited from net operational productivity improvements and volume leverage. Mix benefited Gross profit and Gross margin for the three months ended September 30, 2026, but was unfavorable to Gross profit and Gross margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2026. Foreign currency translation favorably impacted Gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 with no impact to Gross margin. While Gross profit also benefited from favorable price/cost, cost increases were not fully recovered at historical margin rates, resulting in Gross margin pressure in both periods presented. Included in price/cost were the net benefits of IEEPA tariff refunds previously discussed.

Current report

Interest expense – net for the three months ended September 30, 2026 decreased primarily due to lower average borrowings under the Revolving Facility and higher interest income earned as compared to the prior year period. Interest expense – net for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 decreased primarily due to the payoff of the Company’s 3.37% Senior Notes in 2025.

Current report

•Adjusted EBITDA margin for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 increased primarily due to volume leverage, partially offset by higher variable compensation and the impact of acquisitions. Additionally, favorable mix was offset by higher employee-related costs for the three months ended September 30, 2026.

Current report

•Organic sales for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 reflect positive price. Higher volumes in the Company’s businesses serving municipal water and semiconductor markets were partially offset by lower volumes in the Company’s businesses serving the chemical, energy and agriculture markets.

Current report

•Adjusted EBITDA margin for the three months ended September 30, 2026 increased slightly due to net productivity improvements and volume leverage, mostly offset by unfavorable mix and higher variable compensation. Adjusted EBITDA margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 was flat. Net productivity improvements were offset by unfavorable mix.

Current report

•Organic sales for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 reflect positive price as well as higher volumes in the Company’s BAND-IT and Fire & Safety businesses driven by strong aerospace and North America fire original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) demand, respectively, which were offset by lower volumes in the Company’s Dispensing businesses in the nine months ended September 30, 2026.

Current report

•Adjusted EBITDA margin increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 primarily due to net productivity improvements partially offset by price/cost headwinds. Adjusted EBITDA margin for the three months ended September 30, 2026 also benefited from volume leverage and favorable mix, while Adjusted EBITDA margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 was negatively impacted by unfavorable mix.

Previous report

•Reported Net sales of $920.6 million increased 6% overall and increased 5% organically*

Previous report

During the second quarter of 2026, the Company delivered strong results. Higher than anticipated volumes continued in targeted advantaged markets, including data centers, semiconductor and space and defense, primarily within the Health & Science Technologies (“HST”) segment. The net impact of IEEPA tariff refunds (defined and described below) more than offset a challenging prior year price/cost comparison and contributed an $0.08 benefit to EPS.

Previous report

Gross profit and Gross margin for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 were positively impacted by volume leverage, net operational productivity improvements and positive price/cost. Positive price/cost was driven by the net benefit of IEEPA tariff refunds of $7.3 million, which benefited Gross margin for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 by 150 basis points and 70 basis points, respectively, and more than offset a challenging prior year price/cost comparison. These improvements were partially offset by unfavorable mix. Gross profit for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 also reflected favorable impacts from foreign currency.

Previous report

Interest expense – net for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 decreased due to interest income of $0.6 million associated with IEEPA tariff refunds received.

Previous report

•Adjusted EBITDA margin for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 increased primarily due to volume leverage. Higher variable compensation and the impact of acquisitions more than offset positive price/cost. Positive price/cost was driven by the net impact from IEEPA tariff refunds, which benefited Adjusted EBITDA margin for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 by 90 basis points and 50 basis points, respectively. While mix had a favorable impact on Adjusted EBITDA margin for the three months ended June 30, 2026, mix negatively impacted Adjusted EBITDA margin for the six months ended June 30, 2026.

Previous report

•Organic sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 reflect positive price. Volumes in both periods were reasonably flat with higher volumes in the Company’s businesses serving municipal water, semiconductor and mining markets offset by lower volumes in the Company’s businesses serving the energy, agriculture and chemical markets. Net sales for both for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 included a $3.2 million reduction resulting from expected customer rebates associated with IEEPA tariff refunds, which unfavorably impacted organic sales growth by 2% for the three months ended June 30, 2026, but only had a minimal impact for the six months ended June 30, 2026.

Previous report

•Adjusted EBITDA margin for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 decreased due to unfavorable mix and higher variable compensation, the impacts of which were mostly mitigated by net productivity improvements and positive price/cost. Positive price/cost was driven by the net impact from IEEPA tariff refunds, which benefited Adjusted EBITDA margin for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 by 180 basis points and 90 basis points, respectively, more than offsetting a challenging prior year price/cost comparison.

Previous report

•Organic sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 reflect higher volumes in the Company’s BAND-IT business and positive price, which was more than offset by lower volumes in other FSDP businesses, resulting from the Company’s Fire & Safety businesses, driven by lower European rescue demand during the three months ended June 30, 2026 and the Company’s Dispensing businesses during six months ended June 30, 2026. Net sales also included a $2.2 million reduction resulting from expected customer rebates associated with IEEPA tariff refunds, which unfavorably impacted organic sales growth for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 by 1%.

Previous report

•Adjusted EBITDA margin decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 primarily due to unfavorable mix and volume deleverage, partially offset by net productivity improvements and positive price/cost. Positive price/cost was driven by the net impact from IEEPA tariff refunds, which benefited Adjusted EBITDA margin for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 by 120 basis points and 60 basis points, respectively, more than offsetting a challenging prior year price/cost comparison.
