IDEX Corporation (NYSE: IEX) (“IDEX”) today announced it has
entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Mott Corporation and
its subsidiaries (“Mott”) for cash consideration of $1 billion (the
“transaction”), subject to customary adjustments. When adjusted for
the present value of expected tax benefits of approximately $100
million, the net transaction value is approximately $900 million.
This represents approximately 19x Mott’s forecasted full year 2024
EBITDA and a mid-teens multiple based on forecasted 2025 EBITDA.
The transaction is expected to be accretive to adjusted earnings
per share in fiscal year 2026.
Mott is a leader in the design and manufacturing of sintered
porous material structures and flow control solutions, with deep
applied material science knowledge and process control
capabilities. For more than 60 years, Mott has solved highly
complex engineering challenges by co-innovating with the world’s
largest technical brands and OEMs in dynamic markets including
semiconductor, energy, water, and space.
“Mott’s business fits the IDEX sweet spot of highly engineered,
configurable mission-critical components focused on scalable select
applications. The addition of Mott represents an important step in
our evolution, as we continue building our differentiated
capabilities in applied materials technologies. Mott brings
advanced technical and application expertise that will expand our
capabilities in high-value end markets and open new organic growth
opportunities. Our focus on driving profitable growth through the
enterprise-wide application of 80/20 is expected to yield material
benefits,” said Eric D. Ashleman, Chief Executive Officer and
President of IDEX. “The addition of Mott supports our strategy to
deliver long-term, compounding value to our customers, employees,
and shareholders, which includes targeted inorganic growth funded
by strong cash flow generation. With shared cultural values,
including a deep passion for solving customer challenges through
technical capabilities and innovative solutions, our great teams
combine to offer meaningful go-to-market opportunities. We look
forward to welcoming the over 500 Mott employees to IDEX.”
Transaction Expected to Deliver
Significant Strategic and Financial Benefits
Expands applied material science technologies portfolio:
Brings scale to IDEX’s growing suite of focused, high-value
businesses – including IDEX Optical Technologies, the Muon Group,
and recently acquired Iridian Spectral Technologies and STC
Material Solutions – that address customer demand for novel
solutions and expertise across advanced materials, microscale
features, precision components, and proprietary production
processes.
Extends similar value proposition into new customer
relationships: Like IDEX, Mott develops and delivers essential
products and solutions that represent a modest cost relative to the
scale of the overall systems and processes that they support.
Mott’s strong tradition of innovating closely with OEM customers
brings additive, long-term customer relationships, enabling
efficient integration into the IDEX family.
Extends capabilities to address unique customer needs:
Adds advanced customization and system-design capabilities,
deepening IDEX’s position as an innovation partner. This allows
IDEX to further address customer needs for extremely precise
solutions in fluidic applications from the product to system-level,
including the opportunity to offer tailored, cross-functional
products. For example, we expect Mott, IDEX Health & Science,
Muon, and our Material Processing Technologies businesses to find
additive commercial and technology solutions for medical device,
healthcare and biotech customers. Within transitioning energy
markets, Mott and IDEX’s pneumatics businesses could bring
operational and applications expertise to meet customer needs for
more efficiency and lower carbon emissions.
Enhances positioning across high-value end markets:
Bolsters ability to grow presence in select, technology-enabled
applications with substantial growth potential, including across
semiconductor wafer fab equipment, the energy transition, medical
technologies, space & defense, and water purification.
Adds to long-term growth and margin profile: Combines the
technical and commercial excellence of IDEX with leading-edge
innovation, technology, and R&D expertise of Mott, which is
anticipated to yield meaningful commercial growth synergies over
the next three years and drive EBITDA expansion through the proven
application of 80/20 as part of the IDEX Operating Model.
“We’re excited to join an industry leader with a strong record
of helping customers solve their toughest problems. Mott brings
applied material science, chemistry, and application expertise, an
additive and complementary customer base, and a growing pipeline of
opportunities. When combined with the scale of IDEX,
industry-leading positions, and deep technological know-how, this
will yield meaningful synergies and benefits. Our culture and
capabilities align with IDEX, and our employees will add tremendous
value to the company, just as they’ve driven Mott’s growth for
generations.” said Boris Levin, President and Chief Executive
Officer of Mott.
In 2024, Mott is expected to generate approximately $200 million
of revenue, with an EBITDA margin in the low 20s. Mott will join
IDEX’s Health & Science Technologies segment. The transaction
will be funded through a combination of cash on hand, borrowings
from IDEX’s current credit facility, and potential debt issuance,
and it is expected to close by the end of the third quarter of
2024, subject to regulatory approvals and customary closing
conditions.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial
Information
IDEX prepares its public financial statements in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America (GAAP). IDEX supplements certain GAAP financial performance
metrics with non-GAAP financial performance metrics. Management
believes these non-GAAP financial performance metrics provide
investors with greater insight, transparency and a more
comprehensive understanding of the financial information used by
management in its financial and operational decision-making because
certain of these non-GAAP metrics exclude items not reflective of
ongoing operations. Non-GAAP financial performance metrics should
not be considered a substitute for, nor superior to, the financial
data prepared in accordance with GAAP. EBITDA is calculated as net
income plus interest expense plus provision for income taxes plus
depreciation and amortization. EBITDA margin is calculated as
EBITDA divided by net sales.
IDEX has not provided a reconciliation of Mott’s expected EBITDA
and EBITDA margin for fiscal year 2024 or 2025 because we are
unable to quantify certain amounts that would be required to be
included in Mott’s contribution to net income without unreasonable
efforts. In addition, IDEX believes such reconciliation would imply
a degree of precision that would be confusing or misleading to
investors.
