Overview

IDEX Corporation ("IDEX," "we," "our," or the "Company") is an applied solutions
company specializing in the manufacture of fluid and metering technologies,
health and science 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 and by the
relationship of the U.S. Dollar to other currencies. Levels of capacity
utilization and capital spending in certain industries and overall industrial
activity are important factors that influence the demand for IDEX's products.

The Company has three reportable business segments: Fluid & Metering
Technologies, Health & Science Technologies and Fire & Safety/Diversified
Products. Within our three reportable segments, the Company maintains 13
platforms where we focus on organic growth and strategic acquisitions. Each of
our 13 platforms is also a reporting unit that we annually test for goodwill
impairment.

Brass, Weldon, AWG Fittings, Godiva, Dinglee, Hurst Jaws of Life, Lukas and
Vetter), the BAND-IT platform and the Dispensing platform.

Management's primary measurements of segment performance are sales, operating
income and operating margin. In addition, due to the highly acquisitive nature
of the Company, the determination of operating income includes amortization of
acquired intangible assets and as a result, management reviews depreciation and
amortization as a percentage of sales. These measures are monitored by
management and significant changes in operating results versus current trends in
end markets and variances from forecasts are analyzed with segment management.

This report references organic sales, a non-GAAP measure, that refers to sales
from continuing operations calculated according to accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") but excludes
(1) the impact of foreign currency translation and (2) sales from acquired or
divested businesses during the first twelve months of ownership or divestiture.
The portion of sales attributable to foreign currency translation is calculated
as the difference between (a) the period-to-period change in organic sales and
(b) the period-to-period change in organic sales after applying prior period
foreign exchange rates to the current year period. Management believes that
reporting organic sales provides useful information to investors by helping
identify underlying growth trends in our business and facilitating easier
comparisons of our revenue performance with prior and future periods and to our
peers. The Company excludes the effect of foreign currency translation from
organic sales because foreign currency translation is not under management's
control, is subject to volatility and can obscure underlying business trends.
The Company excludes the effect of acquisitions and divestitures because they
can obscure underlying business trends and make comparisons of long term
performance difficult due to the varying nature, size and number of transactions
from period to period and between the Company and its peers.

EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, means earnings before interest, income taxes,
depreciation and amortization. Given the acquisitive nature of the Company,
which results in a higher level of amortization expense from recently acquired
businesses, management uses EBITDA as an internal operating metric to provide
another representation of the businesses' performance across our three segments
and for enterprise valuation purposes. Management believes that EBITDA is useful
to investors as an indicator of the strength and performance of the Company and
a way to evaluate and compare operating performance and value companies within
our industry. Management believes that EBITDA margin is useful for the same
reason as EBITDA. EBITDA is also used to calculate certain financial covenants,
as discussed in Note 11 in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements in Part I, Item 1, "Financial Statements."

Organic sales have been reconciled to net sales and EBITDA has been reconciled
to net income in Item 2 under the heading "Non-GAAP Disclosures." The
reconciliation of segment EBITDA to net income was performed on a consolidated
basis due to the fact that we do not allocate consolidated interest expense or
the consolidated provision for income taxes to our segments.

Management uses Adjusted gross profit, Adjusted operating income, Adjusted net
income, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS as metrics by which to measure
performance of the Company since they exclude items that are not reflective of
ongoing operations, such as restructuring expenses, a fair value inventory
step-up charge and a loss on early debt redemption. Each of Adjusted gross
profit, Adjusted operating income, Adjusted net income, Adjusted EBITDA and
Adjusted EPS are non-
                                       33

GAAP measures and have been reconciled to their most directly comparable GAAP measures in this Item 2 under the heading "Non-GAAP Disclosures."

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.

Some of our key financial results for the three months ended June 30, 2020 when compared to the same period in the prior year are as follows:



•Sales of $561.2 million decreased 13%; organic sales (which excludes
acquisitions and foreign currency translation) were down 17%.

Results of Operations



The following is a discussion and analysis of our results of operations for the
three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019. Segment operating income and
EBITDA exclude unallocated corporate operating expenses of $17.2 million and
$19.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively,
and $34.7 million and $37.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and
2019, respectively.

The Company continues to help in the fight against COVID-19 with several of our
businesses playing critical roles in keeping essential activities operating. We
also continue to be focused on making sure our employees are safe and our
operations have the ability to deliver the products needed to support the
COVID-19 battle. Most of our sites are considered essential businesses and have
remained open during the pandemic. However, the virus did cause several of our
sites to temporarily shut down for cleaning due to employees testing positive
for COVID-19. All such sites returned to operations within a short period of
time. COVID-19 and the enacted containment measures have adversely affected our
business and results of operations and the businesses of our customers, who are
purchasing less product in response to the economic conditions caused by
COVID-19. The Company expects the months ahead will remain challenging as this
global pandemic continues and, based on currently available information and
management's current expectations, the Company anticipates that organic sales
will be down approximately 12 to 17 percent in the third quarter of 2020. Based
on management's current expectations, we believe our strong balance sheet, with
over $1.5 billion of liquidity and gross leverage of 1.6 times, will provide
IDEX the necessary capital to navigate the COVID-19 pandemic for the foreseeable
future. Additionally, IDEX has implemented certain cost reduction actions,
including employee reductions and has maintained a tight cost control
environment. Despite our expectations and actions taken to reduce costs, we can
provide no assurances that access to our invested cash, cash equivalents or
short-term investments will not be impacted by adverse conditions in the
financial markets, including, without limitation, as a result of the impact of
the COVID-19 pandemic and we cannot predict how long the COVID-19 pandemic will
continue. Moreover,
                                       34

COVID-19 and related measures to contain its impact have caused material
disruptions in both national and global financial markets and economies. The
continuing impact of COVID-19 and the enacted containment measures cannot be
predicted and may continue to adversely affect, perhaps materially, our
business, results of operations, financial condition and liquidity.
Consolidated Results for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2020 Compared with the
Same Period in 2019
(In thousands)           Three Months Ended June 30,
                         2020                      2019
Net sales          $     561,249               $ 642,099
Operating income         110,594                 155,283
Operating margin            19.7   %                24.2  %



Sales in the second quarter of 2020 were $561.2 million, which was a 13%
decrease compared to the same period in 2019. This reflects a 17% decrease in
organic sales and a 1% unfavorable impact from foreign currency translation,
partially offset by a 5% increase from acquisitions (Flow MD - February 2020 and
Velcora - July 2019). Sales to customers outside the U.S. represented
approximately 48% of total sales in the second quarter of 2020 compared to 49%
during the same period in 2019.

Gross profit of $234.8 million in the second quarter of 2020 decreased $57.5
million, or 20%, compared to the same period in 2019, and gross margin of 41.8%
in the second quarter of 2020 decreased 370 basis points from 45.5% during the
same period in 2019. Gross profit and gross margin decreased compared to the
prior year period as a result of reduced volume, business mix, the dilutive
impact to margins from the recent acquisitions and a fair value inventory
step-up charge included in the current year period.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to $120.4 million in the
second quarter of 2020 from $134.9 million during the same period in 2019. The
decrease is primarily due to restructuring savings and lower variable costs.
Corporate costs of $17.0 million in the second quarter of 2020 decreased from
$19.2 million during the same period in 2019 primarily as a result of tightly
controlling discretionary spending and restructuring savings. As a percentage of
sales, selling, general and administrative expenses were 21.4% for the second
quarter of 2020, up 40 basis points compared to 21.0% during the same period in
2019.

The Company incurred $3.8 million of restructuring expenses in the second
quarter of 2020 compared with $2.1 million during the same period in 2019 for
cost reduction actions primarily consisting of employee reductions due to lower
demand as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The restructuring expenses in the
second quarter of 2020 all related to severance benefits.

Operating income of $110.6 million and operating margin of 19.7% in the second
quarter of 2020 were down from $155.3 million and 24.2%, respectively, during
the same period in 2019. The decreases in operating income and operating margin
were driven by lower sales volume, the dilutive impact to margins from the
recent acquisitions, the fair value inventory step-up charge and higher
restructuring expenses in 2020, partially offset by price, restructuring savings
and an overall reduction in variable expenses.

Other (income) expense - net increased to $6.5 million of expense in the second
quarter of 2020 compared to $0.4 million of income during the same period in
2019, primarily due to an $8.4 million loss on early debt redemption, partially
offset by $1.5 million of lower pension expense in 2020 and $1.2 million of
higher gains on pension-related investments.

Interest expense of $12.4 million in the second quarter of 2020 was higher than
the $11.0 million in the same period of 2019 due to borrowings under the
Revolving Facility in 2020 and interest expense on the new 3.0% Senior Notes
issued during the second quarter of 2020.

The provision for income taxes decreased to $20.8 million for the second quarter
of 2020 compared to $31.4 million during the same period in 2019. The effective
tax rate increased to 22.7% for the second quarter of 2020 compared to 21.7%
during the same period in 2019 primarily due to a decrease in the excess tax
benefits related to share-based compensation.

Net income in the second quarter of 2020 of $70.9 million decreased from $113.2
million during the same period in 2019. Diluted earnings per share in the second
quarter of 2020 of $0.93 decreased $0.55, or 37%, compared to the same period in
2019.

Sales of $219.1 million decreased $27.1 million, or 11%, in the second quarter
of 2020 compared to the same period in 2019. This reflects a 20% decrease in
organic sales and a 1% unfavorable impact from foreign currency translation,
partially offset by a 10% percent increase from acquisitions (Flow MD - February
2020). In the second quarter of 2020, sales decreased 4% domestically and 20%
internationally compared to the same period in 2019. Sales to customers outside
the U.S. were approximately 39% of total segment sales in the second quarter of
2020 compared to 43% during the same period in 2019.

Sales within our Valves platform decreased in the second quarter of 2020
compared to the same period in 2019 due to the softening global industrial
landscape and lower energy prices driving decreases in capital spending. Sales
within our Agriculture platform decreased in the second quarter of 2020 compared
to the same period in 2019 due to decreased demand across both the agricultural
and industrial original equipment manufacturer ("OEM") markets. Sales within our
Pumps platform decreased in the second quarter of 2020 compared to the same
period in 2019 due to continued market declines in industrial and oil and gas
markets, compounded by the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic driving reduced
capital spending. Sales within our Water platform decreased in the second
quarter of 2020 compared to the same period in 2019 primarily due to the
non-repeat of large projects across the U.S. and Asia. Sales within our Energy
platform increased in the second quarter of 2020 compared to the same period in
2019 due to the acquisition of Flow MD, partially offset by declining capital
spending in the oil and gas markets.

Operating income of $50.9 million and operating margin of 23.2% in the second
quarter of 2020 were lower than $74.1 million and 30.1%, respectively, recorded
during the same period in 2019, primarily due to lower volume and the impact of
the Flow MD acquisition as well as a fair value inventory step-up charge and
higher restructuring expenses included in the current year period, partially
offset by price, restructuring savings and lower variable costs.

Sales of $215.7 million decreased $16.6 million, or 7%, in the second quarter of
2020 compared to the same period in 2019. This reflects a 10% decrease in
organic sales and a 1% unfavorable impact from foreign currency translation,
partially offset by a 4% increase from acquisitions (Velcora - July 2019). In
the second quarter of 2020, sales decreased 12% domestically and 3%
internationally compared to the same period in 2019. Sales to customers outside
the U.S. were approximately 57% of total segment sales in the second quarter of
2020 compared to 54% during the same period in 2019.

Sales within our Gast platform decreased in the second quarter of 2020 compared
to the same period in 2019 primarily due to the non-repeat of a large customer
project and a slowdown across various industrial end markets, partially offset
by new initiatives in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Sales within our
Micropump platform decreased in the second quarter of 2020 compared to the same
period in 2019 due to lower demand from customers in the inkjet printing market.
Sales within our Scientific Fluidics & Optics platform decreased in the second

2019 primarily due to lower overall demand as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic
and the non-repeat of large projects from the prior year, partially offset by
strong volumes in the pharmaceutical industry in response to the COVID-19
pandemic. Sales within our Sealing Solutions platform decreased in the second
quarter of 2020 compared to the same period in 2019 primarily due to disruption
in the automotive and oil and gas markets, partially offset by the Velcora

Sales in the first six months of 2020 were $1,155.7 million, which was a 9%
decrease compared to the same period in 2019. This reflects an 11% decrease in
organic sales and a 1% unfavorable impact from foreign currency translation,
partially offset by a 3% increase from acquisitions (Flow MD - February 2020 and
Velcora - July 2019). Sales to customers outside the U.S. represented
approximately 49% of total sales in the first six months of 2020 compared to 50%
during the same period in 2019.

Gross profit of $506.8 million in the first six months of 2020 decreased $69.4
million, or 12%, compared to the same period in 2019 and gross margin of 43.8%
in the first six months of 2020 decreased 180 basis points from 45.6% during the
same period in 2019. Both gross profit and gross margin decreased compared to
the prior year period primarily due to reduced volume, business mix, the
dilutive impact to margins from the recent acquisitions and a fair value
inventory step-up charge included in the current year period.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to $252.4 million in the
first six months of 2020 from $271.0 million during the same period in 2019,
primarily due to restructuring savings and lower variable costs. Corporate costs
decreased to $34.5 million in the first six months of 2020 compared to $37.8
million during the same period in 2019 primarily due to tightly controlling
discretionary spending and restructuring savings. As a percentage of sales,
selling, general and administrative expenses were 21.8% for the first six months
of 2020, up 40 basis points compared to 21.4% during the same period in 2019.

The Company incurred $3.8 million of restructuring expenses in the first six
months of 2020 compared with $2.1 million during the same period in 2019 for
cost reduction actions primarily consisting of employee reductions due to lower
demand as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The restructuring expenses in the
first six months of 2020 all related to severance benefits.

Operating income of $250.5 million and operating margin of 21.7% in the first
six months of 2020 were down from the $303.1 million and 24.0%, respectively,
recorded during the same period in 2019. The decreases in operating income and
operating margin are primarily due to lower sales volume, the dilutive impact to
margins from the recent acquisitions, the fair value inventory step-up charge
and higher restructuring expenses in 2020, partially offset by price,
restructuring savings and an overall reduction in variable expenses.

Other (income) expense - net was $8.0 million of expense in the first six months
of 2020 compared to $0.5 million of income during the same period in 2019,
primarily due to an $8.4 million loss on early debt redemption, partially offset
by $1.7 million of lower pension expense in 2020.

Interest expense of $23.3 million in the first six months of 2020 was higher
than the $21.9 million in the same period of 2019 due to borrowings under the
Revolving Facility in 2020 and interest expense on the new 3.0% Senior Notes
issued during the second quarter of 2020.

The provision for income taxes decreased to $46.3 million in the first six
months of 2020 compared to $58.2 million during the same period in 2019. The
effective tax rate increased to 21.1% in the first six months of 2020 compared
to 20.7% during the same period in 2019 primarily due to a decrease in the
excess tax benefits related to share-based compensation.

Net income of $172.9 million in the first six months of 2020 decreased from
$223.5 million during the same period in 2019. Diluted earnings per share of
$2.27 in the first six months of 2020 decreased $0.65, or 22%, compared to the
same period in 2019.

For the six months ended June 30, 2020, Fluid & Metering Technologies
contributed 39% of sales, 41% of operating income and 40% of EBITDA; Health &
Science Technologies contributed 38% of sales, 35% of operating income and 37%
of EBITDA; and Fire & Safety/Diversified Products contributed 23% of sales, 24%
of operating income and 23% of EBITDA. These percentages are calculated on the
basis of total segment (not total Company) sales, operating income and EBITDA.

Sales of $446.0 million decreased $42.7 million, or 9%, in the first six months
of 2020 compared to the same period in 2019. This reflects a 13% decrease in
organic sales and a 1% unfavorable impact from foreign currency translation,
partially offset by a 5% increase from acquisitions (Flow MD - February 2020).
In the first six months of 2020, sales decreased 6% domestically and 13%

of 2020 compared to 43% during the same period in 2019.

Sales within our Valves platform decreased in the first six months of 2020
compared to the same period in 2019 due to the softening global industrial
landscape and lower energy prices driving decreases in capital spending. Sales
within our Agriculture platform decreased in the first six months of 2020
compared to the same period in 2019 due to decreased demand across both the
agricultural and industrial OEM markets. Sales within our Pumps platform
decreased in the first six months of 2020 compared to the same period in 2019
due to continued market declines in industrial and oil and gas markets,
compounded by the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, driving declines across most

in 2019 primarily due to lower project volumes across the U.S. and Asia. Sales
within our Energy platform increased in the first six months of 2020 compared to
the same period in 2019 due to the acquisition of Flow MD, partially offset by
declining capital spending in the oil and gas markets.

Sales of $439.7 million decreased $17.8 million, or 4%, in the first six months
of 2020 compared to the same period in 2019. This reflects a 7% decrease in
organic sales and a 1% unfavorable impact from foreign currency translation,
partially offset by a 4% increase from acquisitions (Velcora - July 2019). In
the first six months of 2020, sales decreased 8% domestically and 1%
internationally compared to the same period in 2019. Sales to customers outside
the U.S. were approximately 57.0% of total segment sales in the first six months
of 2020 compared to 55% during the same period in 2019.

Sales within our Gast platform decreased in the first six months of 2020
compared to the same period in 2019 primarily due to the non-repeat of a large
customer project and a slowdown across various industrial end markets, partially
offset by new initiatives in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Sales within our
Micropump platform decreased in the first six months of 2020 compared to the
same period in 2019 due to weakness in core printing and industrial
distribution. Sales within our Scientific Fluidics & Optics platform decreased
in the first six months of 2020 compared to the same period in 2019 due to the
impact of the COVID-19 pandemic which limited investment by hospitals and
laboratories in new Analytical Instrumentation equipment, partially offset by
increased demand for microfluidics and optical solutions supporting COVID-19
testing. Sales within our Material Processing Technologies platform increased in
the first six months of 2020 compared to the same period in 2019 primarily due
to strong volumes in the pharmaceutical industry in response to the COVID-19
pandemic, partially offset by the non-repeat of large projects from the prior
year. Sales within our Sealing Solutions platform increased in the first six
months of 2020 compared to the same period in 2019 primarily due to the Velcora
acquisition and the recovery in the semiconductor market, partially offset by
disruption in the automotive and oil and gas markets.

    Operating income of $100.7 million and operating margin of 22.9% in the
first six months of 2020 were lower than the $110.9 million and 24.2%,
respectively, recorded during the same period in 2019, primarily due to lower
volume, the dilutive impact to margins of the Velcora acquisition and higher
restructuring expenses, partially offset by price, restructuring savings and
lower variable costs.

our Band-It platform decreased in the first six months of 2020 compared to the
same period in 2019 due to customer shutdowns in the transportation market as a
result of the COVID-19 pandemic and lower capital spending in the energy
markets. Sales within our Fire & Safety platform decreased in the first six
months of 2020 compared to the same period in 2019 due to fewer large projects
and market softness globally for the Fire and Rescue businesses.

Operating income of $66.9 million and operating margin of 24.6% in the first six
months of 2020 were lower than the $83.9 million and 26.2%, respectively,
recorded during the same period in 2019, primarily due to lower volume and
business mix, partially offset by price and restructuring savings as well as
lower variable costs and lower restructuring expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Operating Activities



Cash flows from operating activities for the first six months of 2020 increased
$34.4 million, or 16%, to $254.2 million compared to the first six months of
2019 due to favorable working capital, partially offset by lower earnings. At
June 30, 2020, working capital was $995.9 million and the Company's current
ratio was 3.5 to 1. At June 30, 2020, the Company's cash and cash equivalents
totaled $746.3 million, of which $411.2 million was held outside of the United
States. The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted and may continue to impact the
Company's operating cash flows through direct and secondary effects on the
Company's operations, customers and supply chain. Although the Company has been
able to operate through the COVID-19 pandemic with only temporary shutdowns, any
future disruptions due to operational shutdowns may impact the Company's ability
to operate as well as generate operating cash flow. Based on currently available
information and management's current expectations, the Company anticipates that
it has sufficient cash on hand and sufficient access to capital to continue to
fund operations for the foreseeable future. However, the continuing impact of
COVID-19 and the COVID-19 containment measures cannot be predicted with
certainty and may increase our borrowing costs and other costs of capital and
otherwise adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial
condition and liquidity, and we cannot assure that we will have access to
external financing at times and on terms we consider acceptable, or at all, or
that we will not experience other liquidity issues going forward.

Investing Activities

Cash flows used in investing activities for the first six months of 2020 increased $116.0 million to $140.4 million compared to the same period in 2019 primarily due to $120.8 million spent on the acquisition of Flow MD in 2020.



Cash flows from operations were more than adequate to fund capital expenditures
of $21.1 million and $25.7 million in the first six months of 2020 and 2019,
respectively. The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted and may continue to impact the
Company's operating cash flows, which may lead to a reduction in capital
expenditures. The Company believes it has sufficient operating cash flow to meet
current obligations and invest in required currently planned capital
expenditures. Capital expenditures were generally for machinery and equipment
that supported growth, improved productivity, tooling, business system
technology, replacement of equipment and investments in new facilities.
Management believes that the Company has ample capacity in its plants and
equipment to meet demand increases for future growth in the intermediate term.

Financing Activities



Cash flows provided by financing activities for the first six months of 2020
were $2.1 million compared to $118.6 million used in financing activities during
the same period in 2019, primarily as a result of proceeds from the issuance of
the 3.0% Senior Notes, partially offset by the early payment of the 4.5% Senior
Notes as well as higher share repurchases and dividends paid in 2020.

On April 29, 2020, the Company completed a public offering of $500.0 million in
aggregate principal amount of its 3.0% Senior Notes due 2030 (the "3.0% Senior
Notes"). The net proceeds from the offering were approximately $494.9 million,
after deducting the issuance discount of $0.9 million, the underwriting
commission of $3.3 million and offering expenses of $0.9 million. The net
proceeds were used to redeem and repay the $300.0 million aggregate principal
amount outstanding of its 4.5% Senior Notes due December 15, 2020 and the
related accrued interest and make-whole premium, with the balance used for
general corporate purposes. The 3.0% Senior Notes bear interest at a rate of
3.0% per annum, which is payable semi-annually in arrears on May 1 and November
1 of each year. The 3.0% Senior Notes mature on May 1, 2030.

On April 27, 2020, the Company provided notice of its election to redeem early,
on May 27, 2020, the $300.0 million aggregate principal amount outstanding of
its 4.5% Senior Notes at a redemption price of $300.0 million plus a make-whole
redemption premium of $6.8 million and accrued and unpaid interest of
$6.1 million using proceeds from the Company's 3.0%

Senior Notes. In addition, the Company recognized the remaining $1.4 million of
the pre-tax amount included in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in
shareholders' equity related to the interest rate exchange agreement associated
with the 4.5% Senior Notes as well as the remaining $0.1 million of deferred
issuance costs and $0.1 million of the debt issuance discount associated with
the 4.5% Senior Notes for a total loss on early debt redemption of $8.4 million
which was recorded within Other (income) expense - net in the Condensed
Consolidated Statements of Operations.

On May 31, 2019, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the "Credit
Agreement") along with certain of its subsidiaries, as borrowers (the
"Borrowers"), Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, swing line lender
and an issuer of letters of credit, with other agents party thereto. The Credit
Agreement consists of a revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Facility"),
which is an $800.0 million unsecured, multi-currency bank credit facility
maturing on May 31, 2024. The Credit Agreement replaced the Company's prior
five-year, $700 million credit agreement, dated as of June 23, 2015, which was
due to expire in June 2020. At June 30, 2020, there was no balance outstanding
under the Revolving Facility and $7.1 million of outstanding letters of credit,
resulting in a net available borrowing capacity under the Revolving Facility of
$792.9 million.

Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest, at either an alternate base
rate or adjusted LIBOR plus, in each case, an applicable margin. Such applicable
margin is based on the lower of the Company's senior, unsecured, long-term debt
rating or the Company's applicable leverage ratio and can range from 0.00% to
1.275%. Based on the Company's leverage ratio at June 30, 2020, the applicable
margin was 1.00% resulting in a weighted average interest rate of 1.32% for the
six months ended June 30, 2020. Interest is payable (a) in the case of base rate
loans, quarterly, and (b) in the case of LIBOR loans, on the last day of the
applicable interest period selected, or every three months from the effective
date of such interest period for interest periods exceeding three months. The
Company may request increases in the lending commitments under the Credit
Agreement, but the aggregate lending commitments pursuant to such increases may
not exceed $400 million.

The Company has the right, subject to certain conditions set forth in the Credit
Agreement, to designate certain foreign subsidiaries of the Company as borrowers
under the Credit Agreement. In connection with any such designation, the Company
is required to guarantee the obligations of any such subsidiaries under the
Credit Agreement.

On June 13, 2016, the Company completed a private placement of a $100 million
aggregate principal amount of 3.20% Senior Notes due June 13, 2023 and a $100
million aggregate principal amount of 3.37% Senior Notes due June 13, 2025
(collectively, the "Notes") pursuant to a Note Purchase Agreement dated June 13,
2016 (the "Purchase Agreement"). Each series of Notes bears interest at the
stated amount per annum, which is payable semi-annually in arrears on each June
13th and December 13th. The Notes are unsecured obligations of the Company and
rank pari passu in right of payment with all of the Company's other unsecured,
unsubordinated debt. The Company may at any time prepay all, or any portion of
the Notes, provided that such portion is greater than 5% of the aggregate
principal amount of the Notes then outstanding. In the event of a prepayment,
the Company will pay an amount equal to par plus accrued interest plus a
make-whole amount. In addition, the Company may repurchase the Notes by making
an offer to all holders of the Notes, subject to certain conditions.

On December 9, 2011, the Company completed a public offering of $350.0 million
4.2% senior notes due December 15, 2021 ("4.2% Senior Notes"). The net proceeds
from the offering of $346.2 million, after deducting a $0.9 million issuance
discount, a $2.3 million underwriting commission and $0.6 million of offering
expenses, were used to repay $306.0 million of outstanding bank indebtedness,
with the balance used for general corporate purposes. The 4.2% Senior Notes bear
interest at a rate of 4.2% per annum, which is payable semi-annually in arrears
on each June 15th and December 15th. The Company may redeem all or a portion of
the 4.2% Senior Notes at any time prior to maturity at the redemption prices set
forth in the Note Indenture governing the 4.2% Senior Notes. The Company may
issue additional debt from time to time pursuant to the Indenture. The Indenture
and 4.2% Senior Notes contain covenants that limit the Company's ability to,
among other things, incur certain liens securing indebtedness, engage in certain
sale-leaseback transactions, and enter into certain consolidations, mergers,
conveyances, transfers or leases of all or substantially all of the Company's
assets. The terms of the 4.2% Senior Notes also require the Company to make an
offer to repurchase the 4.2% Senior Notes upon a change of control triggering
event (as defined in the Indenture) at a price equal to 101% of their principal
amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any.

There are two key financial covenants that the Company is required to maintain
in connection with the Revolving Facility and the Notes: a minimum interest
coverage ratio of 3.00 to 1 and a maximum leverage ratio of 3.50 to 1. In the
case of the leverage ratio, there is an option to increase the ratio to 4.00 for
12 months in connection with certain acquisitions. At June 30, 2020, the Company
was in compliance with both of these financial covenants, as the Company's
interest coverage ratio was 14.64 to 1 and the leverage ratio was 1.62 to 1.
There are no financial covenants relating to the 3.0% Senior Notes or the 4.2%
Senior Notes; however, both are subject to cross-default provisions.

On March 17, 2020, the Company's Board of Directors approved an increase of $500.0 million in the authorized level of repurchases of common stock. This approval is in addition to the prior repurchase authorizations of the Board of Directors of


                                       41

$300.0 million on December 1, 2015 and $400.0 million on November 6, 2014.
Repurchases under the program will be funded with future cash flow generation or
borrowings available under the Revolving Facility. During the six months ended
June 30, 2020, the Company repurchased a total of 876 thousand shares at a cost
of $110.3 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company
repurchased a total of 389 thousand shares at a cost of $54.7 million. As of
June 30, 2020, the amount of share repurchase authorization remaining is $712.0
million.

Although the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted and may continue to impact the
Company's operating cash flows, 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 operating cash requirements, planned capital expenditures, interest and
principal payments on all borrowings, pension and postretirement funding
requirements and annual dividend payments to holders of the Company's common
stock for the remainder of 2020. 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. At June 30, 2020, there was no balance
outstanding under the Revolving Facility and $7.1 million of outstanding letters
of credit, resulting in a net available borrowing capacity under the Revolving
Facility of $792.9 million. The Company believes that additional borrowings
through various financing alternatives remain available if required. However,
the continuing impact of COVID-19 and the COVID-19 containment measures cannot
be predicted with certainty and may increase our borrowing costs and other costs
of capital and otherwise adversely affect our business, results of operations,
financial condition and liquidity, and we cannot assure that we will have access
to external financing at times and on terms we consider acceptable, or at all,
or that we will not experience other liquidity issues going forward.

Non-GAAP Disclosures



Set forth below are reconciliations of Adjusted gross profit, Adjusted operating
income, Adjusted net income, Adjusted EPS, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to the
comparable measures of gross profit, operating income, net income and EPS, as
determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We have reconciled Adjusted gross
profit to Gross profit, Adjusted operating income to Operating income; Adjusted
net income to Net income; Adjusted EPS to EPS; and consolidated EBITDA, segment
EBITDA, Adjusted consolidated EBITDA and Adjusted segment EBITDA to Net income.
The reconciliation of segment EBITDA to net income was performed on a
consolidated basis due to the fact that we do not allocate consolidated interest
expense or the consolidated provision for income taxes to our segments.

EBITDA means earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and
amortization. Given the acquisitive nature of the Company, which results in a
higher level of amortization expense from recently acquired businesses,
management uses EBITDA as an internal operating metric to provide another
representation of the businesses' performance across our three segments and for
enterprise valuation purposes. Management believes that EBITDA is useful to
investors as an indicator of the strength and performance of the Company and a
way to evaluate and compare operating performance and value companies within our
industry. Management believes that EBITDA margin is useful for the same reason
as EBITDA. EBITDA is also used to calculate certain financial covenants, as
discussed in Note 11 in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
in Part I, Item 1, "Financial Statements."

This report references organic sales, a non-GAAP measure, that refers to sales
from continuing operations calculated according to U.S. GAAP but excludes
(1) the impact of foreign currency translation and (2) sales from acquired or
divested businesses during the first twelve months of ownership or divestiture.
The portion of sales attributable to foreign currency translation is calculated
as the difference between (a) the period-to-period change in organic sales and
(b) the period-to-period change in organic sales after applying prior period
foreign exchange rates to the current year period. Management believes that
reporting organic sales provides useful information to investors by helping to
identify underlying growth trends in our business and facilitating easier
comparisons of our revenue performance with prior and future periods and to our
peers. The Company excludes the effect of foreign currency translation from
organic sales because foreign currency translation is not under management's
control, is subject to volatility and can obscure underlying business trends.
The Company excludes the effect of acquisitions and divestitures because they
can obscure underlying business trends and make comparisons of long term
performance difficult due to the varying nature, size and number of transactions
from period to period and between the Company and its peers.

Management uses Adjusted gross profit, Adjusted operating income, Adjusted net
income, Adjusted EPS and Adjusted EBITDA as metrics by which to measure
performance of the Company since they exclude items that are not reflective of
ongoing operations, such as restructuring expenses, a fair value inventory
step-up charge and a loss on early debt redemption. Management also supplements
its U.S. GAAP financial statements with adjusted information to provide
investors with greater
                                       42

insight, transparency and a more comprehensive understanding of the information used by management in its financial and operational decision making.



In addition to measuring our cash flow generation and usage based upon the
operating, investing and financing classifications included in the Condensed
Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, we also measure free cash flow (a
non-GAAP measure) which represents net cash provided by operating activities
minus capital expenditures. We believe that free cash flow is an important
measure of operating performance because it provides management a measurement of
cash generated from operations that is available for mandatory payment
obligations and investment opportunities, such as funding acquisitions, paying
dividends, repaying debt and repurchasing our common stock.

The non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by the Company should not be
considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures prepared in

Critical Accounting Policies



As discussed in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2019, the preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP
requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported
amount of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities, and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. See Part 1, Notes to
the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, Note 1 Basis of Presentation
and Significant Accounting Policies. There have been no changes to the Company's
critical accounting policies described in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 2019.
