IDEX (NYSE: IEX) posts Q1 2026 growth with higher EPS and cash flow
Filing Impact
Filing Sentiment
Form Type
10-Q
IDEX Corporation reported solid first-quarter 2026 growth. Net sales rose to $886.9 million from $814.3 million, helped by 5% organic growth, favorable currency and contributions from acquisitions. Net income attributable to IDEX increased to $120.0 million from $95.5 million, with diluted EPS up to $1.61 from $1.26.
Adjusted diluted EPS reached $2.00, up from $1.75, reflecting higher volumes in advantaged markets such as data centers, semiconductors, and space and defense within Health & Science Technologies. Gross margin eased slightly to 44.9% from 45.3% as unfavorable mix and price/cost pressure offset productivity gains and volume leverage.
IDEX generated $103.7 million of operating cash flow and $86.0 million of free cash flow, while investing $17.7 million in capital expenditures. The company returned cash to shareholders through $75.6 million of share repurchases and $52.8 million of dividends. The balance sheet showed $586.2 million of cash, total borrowings of $1.88 billion, and ample liquidity with $517.2 million available under its $800 million revolving facility.

Insights
IDEX posted strong Q1 growth, led by HST, with healthy cash generation and conservative leverage.
IDEX delivered 9% sales growth to $886.9 million and expanded Adjusted EBITDA to $230.4 million, a 26.0% margin. Health & Science Technologies was the main engine, with 17% higher net sales and 21% higher Adjusted EBITDA as AI-driven data center and semiconductor demand, plus space and defense, offset softer life sciences.
Fluid & Metering Technologies and Fire & Safety/Diversified Products showed modest growth and relatively stable margins, with some volume softness tied to chemicals, industrial markets and project timing in dispensing. Restructuring and asset impairments of $7.4 million, including intangible write-downs in FMT, signal portfolio and asset tuning rather than broad weakness.
Free cash flow of $86.0 million comfortably funded $75.6 million of buybacks and $52.8 million of dividends, supported by $586.2 million in cash and a leverage ratio of 1.93x under the Revolving Facility covenant framework. Subsequent filings may provide more color on how sustained AI and industrial demand trends, along with tariff developments noted for 2025–2026, influence segment mix and pricing dynamics.

Key Terms

6 terms
Adjusted EBITDA financial
"Management’s measurements of segment performance are Net sales, adjusted earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”)"
Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.
free cash flow financial
"Free cash flow is calculated as cash flows provided by operating activities less capital expenditures."
Free cash flow is the amount of money a company has left over after paying all its expenses and investing in its business, like buying equipment or updating facilities. It shows how much cash is available to reward shareholders, pay down debt, or save for future growth. This helps investors understand if a company is financially healthy and able to grow.
Revolving Facility financial
"$800.0 million Revolving Facility, due November 2027 (the “Revolving Facility”)"
A revolving facility is a bank loan that works like a company credit card: the borrower can draw funds, repay them, and draw again up to a set limit during the agreement period. It matters to investors because it provides short-term cash flexibility for operations, investments, or emergencies, and the cost or availability of that credit can affect a company’s liquidity, interest expenses, and financial stability.
Performance share units financial
"Performance share unit awards represent rights to receive shares of the Company’s common stock"
Performance share units are a type of company stock award given to employees that depend on the company meeting specific goals or targets. If these goals are achieved, the employee receives shares or the value of shares; if not, they may receive little or no compensation. This aligns employees’ interests with the company's success and encourages performance that benefits investors.
International Emergency Economic Powers Act regulatory
"the U. S. Supreme Court issued a decision invalidating the broad-based tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act."
A U.S. law that gives the president broad authority to control trade, financial transactions, and assets during a declared national emergency, such as by imposing sanctions, freezing property, or restricting exports and imports. For investors it matters because those powers can suddenly block deals, cut off access to markets or funds, and change the value of companies or securities much like an emergency brake that can stop or reroute economic activity overnight.
Monte Carlo simulation model financial
"The contingent consideration was derived using a Monte Carlo simulation model which utilizes inputs including discount rates, volatility rates"

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 the three 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.
2. 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 exceed one 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 a two-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:

4. 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:

5. 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, | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| 2026 | 2025 | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| Basic weighted average common shares outstanding | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| Dilutive effect of restricted stock, performance share units and stock options | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding | |||||||||||||||||||||||
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.

9. 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.

Contingent consideration(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 was no
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

Restricted Stock
Restricted stock awards granted beginning in 2026 generally vest annually in equal amounts over three years , with vesting beginning one year from the date of the grant. Restricted stock awards granted prior to 2026 generally cliff vest after three years for employees. Restricted stock awards granted to non-employee directors generally cliff vest after one year . The service period for certain retiree eligible participants is accelerated. Unvested restricted stock granted after the adoption of the 2024 Incentive Award Plan earn dividend equivalents for the award period, which will be paid to participants upon vesting of the underlying awards. Unvested restricted stock granted prior to the adoption of the 2024 Incentive Award Plan earn and are paid dividends. The fair value of restricted stock is equal to the market price of the Company’s stock at the date of the grant. A summary of the Company’s restricted stock activity as of March 31, 2026 and changes during the three months ended March 31, 2026 are presented in the following table:

Performance Share Units
Performance share unit awards represent rights to receive shares of the Company’s common stock and will vest between 0 % to 250 % of the target share unit amount. Performance share units granted after December 31, 2024 are earned over a three-year performance period based on an internal income growth metric (a performance condition), weighted 25 %. The remaining 75 % of the award is earned based on a market condition, which is the total shareholder return of IDEX common stock in relation to the total shareholder return of a group of peer companies (for awards granted in 2025, the peer group consists of companies in the S&P 500 index, and for awards granted beginning in 2026, the peer group consists of companies in the S&P 900 Capital Goods and Life Sciences Tools & Services indexes). Performance share unit awards granted prior to 2025 are earned solely based on the Company’s total shareholder return ranking in relation to the total shareholder return of companies in the S&P 500 Index over a three-year period following the date of grant.
The fair value of the performance condition portion of the awards granted after December 31, 2024 is equal to the market price of the Company’s stock at the date of the grant, and the amount of expense recognized over the vesting period is subject to adjustment based on the expected attainment of the performance condition. The fair value of the market condition portion of all performance share unit awards is determined using a Monte Carlo simulation model, and the amount of expense recognized over the vesting period is not subject to change based on future market conditions. The assumptions used in the Monte Carlo simulation model to determine the fair value of the market condition portion of the performance share units granted in the respective periods were as follows:

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes in this quarterly report. This discussion may contain forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties. The Company’s actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of several factors, including those set forth under Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in the Company’s most recent annual report on Form 10-K and under the heading “Cautionary Statement Under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act” discussed elsewhere in this quarterly report.
This discussion includes certain non-GAAP financial measures that have been defined and reconciled to the most directly comparable financial measure prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) under the headings “Non-GAAP Disclosures” and “Free Cash Flow.” This discussion also includes Operating working capital, which has been defined under the heading “Liquidity and Capital Resources.” The non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by the Company should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The financial results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and the reconciliations from these results should be carefully evaluated.
Overview
IDEX is an applied solutions provider specializing in the manufacturing of health and science technologies, fluid and metering technologies, and fire, safety and other diversified products built to customers’ specifications. IDEX’s products are sold in niche markets across a wide range of industries throughout the world. Accordingly, IDEX’s businesses are affected by levels of industrial activity and economic conditions in the U.S. and in other countries where it does business, as well as by the relationship of the U.S. Dollar to other currencies. Levels of capacity utilization and capital spending in certain markets and overall industrial activity are important factors that influence the demand for IDEX’s products.
Highlights
(All comparisons are against the same period in 2025 unless otherwise noted)
Three Months Ended March 31, 2026
•Reported Net sales of $886.9 million increased 9% overall and increased 5% organically*
•Reported diluted earnings per common share (“EPS”) attributable to IDEX of $1.61 increased 28%
•Adjusted diluted EPS attributable to IDEX* of $2.00 increased 14%
•Returned capital to shareholders in the form of $76.3 million of share repurchases and $52.8 million of dividends
*These are non-GAAP measures. See the definitions of these non-GAAP measures and reconciliations to their most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures under the heading “Non-GAAP Disclosures.”
During the first quarter of 2026, the Company delivered strong results driven by higher than anticipated volumes in targeted advantaged markets, including data centers, semiconductor and space and defense, within the Health & Science Technologies (“HST”) segment along with positive price across the Company’s segments. The quarter’s results also reflect net operational productivity gains and favorable translation, partly offset by unfavorable mix.
Recent Developments
On February 20, 2026, the U. S. Supreme Court issued a decision invalidating the broad-based tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. In response to the U.S. Supreme Court ruling, the administration implemented new tariffs under alternative statutory authority. The tariffs enacted in 2025 and in the first quarter of 2026 did not have a material impact on the Company’s business or financial statements in the periods presented. The Company will continue to monitor the situation, including the timing and amount of any refunds of such tariffs, and expects it will be able to continue to mitigate the potential unfavorable impact of tariffs.

Net Sales
Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2026 increased as compared to the same prior year period as a result of increased organic sales, favorable impacts from foreign currency and contributions from acquisitions. Organic sales for the same period increased 5% primarily driven by higher volumes in the HST segment, which were slightly offset by lower volumes in the Company’s Fire & Safety/Diversified Products (“FSDP”) and Fluid Metering Technologies (“FMT”) segments. The increase also reflects positive price across all segments.
Gross Profit and Gross Margin
Gross profit and Gross margin for the three months ended March 31, 2026 were positively impacted by volume leverage and net operational productivity improvements, and while gross profit further benefited from positive price/cost, gross margin was pressured by price/cost. Both were negatively impacted by unfavorable mix. Gross profit also reflected favorable impacts from foreign currency.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased for the three months ended March 31, 2026, reflecting a $2.7 million increase from acquisitions, including amortization, as well as higher employee-related costs and increased professional services spending, partially offset by proceeds received related to a legal settlement, as compared to the same prior year period.
Restructuring Expenses and Asset Impairments
Restructuring expenses and asset impairments for the three months ended March 31, 2026 primarily relate to asset impairments of $4.8 million related to intangible assets and property, plant and equipment within the Company’s FMT segment. The three months ended March 31, 2026 also includes severance costs that were incurred as a result of employee reductions. Restructuring expenses and asset impairments for the three months ended March 31, 2025 primarily relate to severance costs that were incurred in conjunction with organizational changes.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity
Based on management’s current expectations and currently available information, the Company believes current cash, cash from operations and cash available under the Revolving Facility will be sufficient to meet its cash requirements, including funding of working capital, planned capital expenditures, interest and principal payments on all borrowings, pension and postretirement funding requirements, share repurchases and quarterly dividend payments to holders of the Company’s common stock for the foreseeable future. Additionally, in the event that suitable businesses are available for acquisition upon acceptable terms, the Company may obtain all or a portion of the financing for these acquisitions through the incurrence of additional borrowings. The Company believes that additional borrowings through various financing alternatives remain available, if required.
Select key liquidity metrics at March 31, 2026 are as follows:
| (In millions) | March 31, 2026 | |||||||
| Working capital | $ | 1,210.7 | ||||||
| Current ratio | 3.4 to 1 | |||||||
| Cash and cash equivalents | $ | 586.2 | ||||||

| Borrowings | 280.1 | |||||||
| Letters of credit | 2.7 | |||||||
| Revolving Facility availability | $ | 517.2 | ||||||
Operating Working Capital
Operating working capital, calculated as Receivables – net plus Inventories – net minus Trade accounts payable, is used by management as a measurement of operational results as well as the short-term liquidity of the Company. The following table details Operating working capital as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025:
| (In millions) | March 31, 2026 | December 31, 2025 | Change | Organic Change | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| Receivables – net | $ | 553.0 | $ | 521.7 | $ | 31.3 | $ | 35.4 | ||||||||||||||||||

| Operating working capital | $ | 829.2 | $ | 776.4 | $ | 52.8 | $ | 59.0 | ||||||||||||||||||
Foreign currency translation decreased Operating working capital by $6.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026. Apart from the translation impact, the primary drivers of the change in Operating working capital were higher receivables, which increased due to higher sales volumes and positive price, and higher inventories, which increased to support planned production.

Cash Flow Summary
The following table is derived from the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows:
| Three Months Ended March 31, | ||||||||||||||||||||
| (In millions) | 2026 | 2025 | Change | |||||||||||||||||
| Net cash flows provided by (used in): | ||||||||||||||||||||

| Investing activities | (20.4) | (10.0) | (10.4) | |||||||||||||||||
| Financing activities | (68.8) | (133.3) | 64.5 | |||||||||||||||||
Operating Activities
Cash provided by operating activities decreased $2.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to the prior year period. Improved operational results were offset by increased receivable balances, driven by timing of customer payments.
Investing Activities
Cash used in investing activities increased $10.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to the prior year period reflecting the absence of $4.2 million of funds received in connection with the finalization of the Mott purchase price in the prior year period and a $3.4 million increase in capital expenditures.
Financing Activities
Cash used in financing activities decreased $64.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to the prior year period. The three months ended March 31, 2026 included $84.9 million of higher net draws under the Revolving Facility and $6.3 million of higher proceeds from stock option exercises, net of shares withheld for taxes, partially offset by $26.3 million of higher share repurchases.
Free Cash Flow
The Company believes free cash flow, a non-GAAP measure, is an important measure of performance because it provides a measurement of cash generated from operations that is available for payment obligations such as operating cash requirements, planned capital expenditures, interest and principal payments on all borrowings, pension and postretirement funding requirements and quarterly dividend payments to holders of the Company’s common stock as well as for funding acquisitions and share repurchases. Free cash flow is calculated as cash flows provided by operating activities less capital expenditures.
The following table reconciles cash flows provided by operating activities to free cash flow:
| Three Months Ended March 31, | ||||||||||||||
(In millions) | 2026 | 2025 | ||||||||||||

Capital Expenditures
Capital expenditures generally include machinery and equipment that support growth and improved productivity, tooling, business system technology, replacement of equipment and investments in new facilities. The Company believes it has sufficient operating cash flows to continue to meet current obligations and invest in planned capital expenditures. Cash flows from operations were more than adequate to fund capital expenditures of $17.7 million and $14.3 million in the first three months of 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Share Repurchases
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company repurchased a total of 0.4 million shares at a cost of $75.6 million (including estimated excise taxes of $0.6 million, which will be paid in 2027), of which $0.9 million was settled in April 2026. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company repurchased a total of 0.3 million shares at a cost of $50.4 million (including estimated excise taxes of $0.4 million).

Dividends
Total dividend payments to common shareholders were $52.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared with $52.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Covenants
At March 31, 2026, the Company was in compliance with the covenants contained in the credit agreement associated with the Revolving Facility as well as other long-term debt agreements. The key financial covenants that the Company is required to maintain in connection with the Revolving Facility and the 5.13% Senior Notes, are a minimum interest coverage ratio of 3.0 to 1 and a maximum leverage ratio of 3.50 to 1. At March 31, 2026, the Company’s interest coverage ratio was 13.85 to 1 for covenant calculation purposes and the leverage ratio was 1.93 to 1. There are no financial covenants relating to the 2.625% Senior Notes, the 3.00% Senior Notes or the 4.950% Senior Notes; however, all are subject to cross-acceleration provisions.

Non-GAAP Disclosures
Set forth below are reconciliations of Organic sales, Adjusted net income attributable to IDEX, Adjusted diluted EPS attributable to IDEX, Consolidated Adjusted earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”) and Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA margin to their respective most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure. There were no non-GAAP adjustments to Gross profit or Gross margin during either the three months ended March 31, 2026 nor 2025. Management uses these metrics to measure performance of the Company since they exclude items that are not reflective of ongoing operations, as identified in the reconciliations below. Management also supplements its U.S. GAAP financial statements with adjusted information to provide investors with greater insight, transparency and a more comprehensive understanding of the information used by management in its financial and operational decision making.
Management uses Adjusted EBITDA as its measure of segment performance, and believes it is a useful indicator of the strength and performance of the Company and its segments’ ongoing business operations, as well as a way for investors to evaluate and compare operating performance and value companies within the Company’s industry. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA margin is useful for the same reason as Adjusted EBITDA. The definition of Adjusted EBITDA used here may differ from that used by other companies.
This report also references free cash flow. This non-GAAP measure is discussed and reconciled to its most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure in the section above titled “Free Cash Flow.”
The non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by the Company should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Due to rounding, numbers presented throughout this and other documents may not add up or recalculate precisely. The financial results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and the reconciliations from these results should be carefully evaluated.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
The Company and its subsidiaries are party to legal proceedings incidental to the operation of their businesses as described in Note 14 in Part I, Item 1, “Commitments and Contingencies,” in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and such disclosure is incorporated by reference into this Item 1. “Legal Proceedings.”
The Company’s threshold for disclosing material environmental legal proceedings involving a government authority where potential monetary sanctions are involved is $1.0 million.
In addition, the Company and seven of its subsidiaries are presently named as defendants in a number of lawsuits claiming various asbestos-related personal injuries, allegedly as a result of exposure to products manufactured with components that contained asbestos. These components were acquired from third-party suppliers and were not manufactured by the Company or any of the defendant subsidiaries. To date, the majority of the Company’s settlements and legal costs, except for costs of coordination, administration, insurance investigation and a portion of defense costs, have been covered in full by insurance, subject to applicable deductibles. However, the Company cannot predict whether and to what extent insurance will be available to continue to cover these settlements and legal costs, or how insurers may respond to claims that are tendered to them. Asbestos-related claims have been filed in jurisdictions throughout the United States and the United Kingdom. Most of the claims resolved to date have been dismissed without payment. The balance of the claims has been settled for various immaterial amounts. Only one case has been tried, resulting in a verdict for the Company’s business unit. No provision has been made in the financial statements of the Company, other than for insurance deductibles in the ordinary course, and the Company does not currently believe the asbestos-related claims will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
