- Gross margin of 44.8 percent, up 60 basis points
- Free cash flow of $322 million, 114 percent of net income

Full Year 2015

Sales of $2 billion were down 6 percent (-4 percent organic, +2 percent acquisitions and -4 percent foreign currency translation) compared with the prior year.
Gross margin of 44.8 percent was up 60 basis points from the prior year, while adjusted operating margin of 21.0 percent was up 30 basis points from the prior year.
Adjusted net income of $277 million decreased 4 percent from the prior year, while adjusted earnings per share of $3.55 decreased 2 cents, or 1 percent, from the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA of $505 million was 25 percent of sales and covered interest expense by over 12 times, while free cash flow of $322 million was 114 percent of net income.
Fourth Quarter 2015
Orders of $495 million were down 4 percent (-4 percent organic, +3 percent acquisitions and -3 percent foreign currency translation) compared with the prior year period. Sales of $500 million were down 5 percent (-4 percent organic, +2 percent acquisitions and -3 percent foreign currency translation) compared with the prior year period.
Gross margin of 44.7 percent was up 100 basis points from the prior year period, while adjusted operating margin of 21.0 percent was up 40 basis points from the prior year period.
Adjusted net income of $72 million increased 2 percent compared with the prior year period, while adjusted earnings per share of 94 cents increased 5 cents, or 6 percent, from the prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA of $126 million was 25 percent of sales and covered interest expense by over 12 times, while free cash flow of $88 million was 130 percent of net income.
The Company repurchased 409 thousand shares of common stock for $31 million in the fourth quarter of 2015.
Fourth quarter and full year 2015 net income and earnings per share included a $2.6 million, or 3 cents per share, income tax benefit as a result of a decrease in the Italian statutory tax rate enacted in December 2015.
“In 2015 IDEX once again expanded gross margin and adjusted operating margin by 60 and 30 basis points, respectively. Our teams were well prepared to deliver productivity, despite the growth of global markets being hampered by depressed oil prices, slow North American industrial activity, and the contraction of China’s economy. In the second half of the year, we also executed a restructuring plan, which will provide approximately $12 million of savings in 2016.
Value creation through focused capital deployment is key to our 2016 success. Investments in long-term organic growth opportunities continue to be made, while shareholder dividends are funded and share repurchases continue at a balanced pace. In 2015 we deployed $200 million toward the strategic acquisitions of Alfa Valvole, Novotema and CiDRA Precision Services. With strong free cash flow, balance sheet capacity, and a healthy pipeline of opportunities, we now expect to significantly exceed this level of M&A activity in 2016.
The current contraction of global industrial economies will continue to pressure our end markets, creating an unstable 2016, resulting in roughly flat organic growth. Productivity will remain a focus allowing us to expand full year 2016 operating margins and deliver full year 2016 EPS of $3.60 to $3.70, with first quarter EPS in the range of 80 to 82 cents.”
Andrew K. Silvernail
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

Non-U.S. GAAP Measures of Financial Performance
The Company supplements certain U.S. GAAP financial performance metrics with non-U.S. GAAP financial performance metrics in order to provide investors with better insight and increased transparency while also allowing for a more comprehensive understanding of the financial information used by management in its decision making. Reconciliations of non-U.S. GAAP financial performance metrics to their most comparable U.S. GAAP financial performance metrics are defined and presented below and in no way are considered a substitute for, nor superior to, the financial data prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. There were no adjustments to U.S. GAAP financial performance metrics other than the items noted below.
- Adjusted operating income is calculated as operating income plus restructuring expenses less the gain on sale of a business.
- Adjusted operating margin is calculated as adjusted operating income divided by net sales.
- Adjusted net income is calculated as net income plus restructuring expenses less the gain on sale of a business, net of the statutory tax expense/benefit.
- Consolidated EBITDA is calculated as net income plus interest expense plus provision for income taxes plus depreciation and amortization; while segment EBITDA is calculated as operating income plus or minus other income (expense) plus depreciation and amortization.
- Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as EBITDA plus restructuring expenses less the gain on sale of a business.
- Free cash flow is calculated as cash flow from operating activities less capital expenditures plus the excess tax benefit from share-based compensation.
