1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are unaudited. AMETEK, Inc. (the “Company”) believes that all adjustments (which primarily consist of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial position of the Company at June 30, 2025, the consolidated results of its operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 and its cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 have been included. The Company has two reportable segments, Electronic Instruments Group (“EIG”) and Electromechanical Group (“EMG”). The Company identifies its operating segments for segment reporting purposes primarily on the basis of product type, production processes, distribution methods and management organizations. Quarterly results of operations are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. The accompanying consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes presented in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income —Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires additional disclosures about significant expenses included in certain expense captions presented on the face of the income statement. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Prospective or retrospective application is allowed and early adoption is permitted. The Company has not determined the impact ASU 2024-03 may have on the Company’s financial statement disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures ("ASU 2023-09"), which improves income tax disclosures by requiring (1) consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and (2) income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. It also includes certain other amendments to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The ASU indicates that all entities will apply its guidance prospectively with an option for retroactive application to each period in the financial statements. ASU 2023-09 will require additional disclosures in the Income Taxes footnote, but it will not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Product Warranties
The Company provides limited warranties in connection with the sale of its products. The warranty periods for products sold vary among the Company’s operations, but the majority do not exceed one year. The Company calculates its warranty expense provision based on its historical warranty experience and adjustments are made periodically to reflect actual warranty expenses. Product warranty obligations are reported as a component of Accrued liabilities and other in the consolidated balance sheet.

Accounts Receivable
The Company maintains allowances for estimated losses resulting from the inability of customers to meet their financial obligations to the Company. The Company recognizes an allowance for credit losses, on all accounts receivable and contract assets, which considers risk of future credit losses based on factors such as historical experience, contract terms, as well as general and market business conditions, country, and political risk. Balances are written off when determined to be uncollectible.
At June 30, 2025, the Company had $1,021.0 million of accounts receivable, net of allowances of $13.1 million. At December 31, 2024, the Company had $948.8 million of accounts receivable, net of allowance of $13.0 million. Changes in the allowance were not material for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025.
4. Earnings Per Share
The calculation of basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares considered outstanding during the periods. The calculation of diluted earnings per share reflects the effect of all potentially dilutive securities (principally outstanding stock options and restricted stock grants). The number of weighted average shares used in the calculation of basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share was as follows:
| Three Months Ended June 30, | Six Months Ended June 30, | ||||||||||||||||||||||

| Weighted average shares: | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| Basic shares | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| Equity-based compensation plans | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| Diluted shares | |||||||||||||||||||||||
5. Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.
The Company utilizes a valuation hierarchy for disclosure of the inputs to the valuations used to measure fair value. This hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels as follows. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs based on the Company’s own assumptions used
11
to measure assets and liabilities at fair value. A financial asset or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The following table provides the Company’s assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, consistent with the fair value hierarchy, at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024:
| June 30, 2025 | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| Total | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | ||||||||||||||||||||

| Total | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | ||||||||||||||||||||
| (In thousands) | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| Mutual fund investments | $ | $ | $ | $ | |||||||||||||||||||
The fair value of mutual fund investments is based on quoted market prices. The mutual fund investments are shown as a component of investments and other assets on the consolidated balance sheet.
For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, gains and losses on the investments noted above were not significant. No
Financial Instruments
Cash, cash equivalents and mutual fund investments are recorded at fair value at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.
The following table provides the estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instrument liabilities, for which fair value is measured for disclosure purposes only, compared to the recorded amounts at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024:
| June 30, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | ||||||||||||||||||||||
Recorded Amount | Fair Value | Recorded Amount | Fair Value | ||||||||||||||||||||
(In thousands) | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| Long-term debt (including current portion) | $ | ( | $ | ( | $ | ( | $ | ( | |||||||||||||||
The fair value of net short-term borrowings approximates the carrying value. The Company’s net long-term debt is all privately held with no public market for this debt, therefore, the fair value of net long-term debt was computed based on comparable current market data for similar debt instruments and is considered a level 3 liability.
6. Hedging Activities
The Company has designated certain foreign-currency-denominated long-term borrowings as hedges of the net investment in certain foreign operations. As of June 30, 2025, these net investment hedges included British-pound-and Euro-denominated long-term debt. These borrowings were designed to create net investment hedges in certain designated foreign subsidiaries. The Company designated the British-pound- and Euro-denominated loans as hedging instruments to offset translation gains or losses on the net investment due to changes in the British pound and Euro exchange rates. These net investment hedges are evidenced by management’s contemporaneous documentation supporting the hedge designation. Any gain or loss on the hedging instruments (the debt) following hedge designation is reported in accumulated other comprehensive income in the same manner as the translation adjustment on the hedged investment based on changes in the spot rate, which is used to measure hedge effectiveness.
At June 30, 2025, the Company had $308.7 million of British-pound-denominated loans and $676.8 million in Euro-denominated loans, which were designated as a hedge against the net investment in British pound and Euro functional currency foreign subsidiaries. As a result of the British-pound- and Euro-denominated loans designated and 100 % effective as net
12
investment hedges, $108.7 million of pre-tax currency remeasurement losses have been included in the foreign currency translation component of other comprehensive income for the six months ended June 30, 2025.

8. Leases and Other Commitments
The Company has commitments under operating leases for certain facilities, vehicles and equipment used in its operations. Cash used in operations for operating leases was not materially different from operating lease expense for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. The Company's leases have a weighted average remaining lease term of approximately six years . Certain lease agreements contain provisions for future rent increases.
The components of lease expense were as follows:

The Company does not have any significant leases that have not yet commenced.
Other Commitments
In the ordinary course of its business, the Company issues guarantees, stand-by letters of credit and surety bonds to provide financial or performance assurance to third parties on behalf of its consolidated subsidiaries to support or enhance the subsidiary's stand-alone creditworthiness. At June 30, 2025, the maximum amount of future payment obligations relative to these various guarantees was $296.2 million and the outstanding liability under certain of those guarantees was $176.1 million.
9. Acquisitions
The Company spent $104.1 million in cash, net of cash acquired, to acquire Kern Microtechnik ("Kern") in January 2025. Kern is a leading manufacturer of high-precision machining and optical inspection solutions supporting a wide range of applications within the medical, semiconductor, research, and space markets. Kern has annual sales of approximately 50 million Euros. Kern is part of EIG.
The following table represents the allocation of the purchase price for the net assets of the Kern acquisition based on the estimated fair values at acquisition (in millions):
| Property, plant and equipment | $ | ||||
| Goodwill | |||||
| Other intangible assets | |||||
| Deferred income taxes | ( | ||||
Net working capital and other(1) | |||||
| Total purchase price | $ | ||||
| Less: Acquisition date fair value of contingent payment liability | ( | ||||
| Total cash paid | $ | ||||
________________
(1)Includes $6.4 million in accounts receivable, whose fair value, contractual cash flows and expected cash flows are approximately equal.
The amount allocated to goodwill is reflective of the benefits the Company expects to realize from the acquisition. Kern's design and engineering capabilities complement the Company's existing ultra precision technologies business.
At June 30, 2025, the purchase price allocated to other intangible assets of $59.6 million consists of $9.6 million of indefinite-lived intangible trade names, which are not subject to amortization. The remaining $50.0 million of other intangible assets consists of $40.4 million of customer relationships, which are being amortized over a period of 17 years, and $9.6 million of purchased technology, which is being amortized over a period of 17 years. Amortization expense for each of the next five years for the 2025 acquisition is expected to approximate $3

The Kern acquisition includes an $8.9 million estimated fair value contingent payment due upon Kern achieving certain cumulative revenue and EBITDA targets over the period January 1, 2025 to January 1, 2027. The contingent liability was based on a probabilistic approach using level 3 inputs. At June 30, 2025, there was no change to the estimated fair value of the contingent payment liability.
The Kern acquisition had an immaterial impact on reported net sales, net income, and diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025. Had the acquisition been made at the beginning of 2025 or 2024, pro forma net sales, net income, and diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, would not have been materially different than the amounts reported.
The Company finalized its measurements of tangible and intangible assets and liabilities for its October 2024 acquisition of Virtek Vision International, which had no material impact to the consolidated statement of income and balance sheet. The Company has not finalized its measurements of certain tangible and intangible assets and liabilities or the accounting for income taxes for its January 2025 acquisition of Kern.
Acquisition Subsequent to June 30, 2025
In July 2025, the Company acquired all outstanding shares of FARO Technologies ("FARO") common stock for approximately $920.0 million, net of cash acquired. The transaction was completed following the approval of FARO's stockholders and receipt of all regulatory approvals. FARO has annual sales of approximately $340 million. FARO is a leading provider of 3D measurement and imaging solutions, including portable measurement arms, laser scanners and trackers, software solutions, and comprehensive service offerings. FARO will join the Electronic Instruments Group segment.

15. Contingencies
Asbestos Litigation
The Company (including its subsidiaries) has been named as a defendant in a number of asbestos-related lawsuits. Certain of these lawsuits relate to a business which was acquired by the Company and do not involve products which were manufactured or sold by the Company. In connection with these lawsuits, the seller of such business has agreed to indemnify the Company against these claims (the “Indemnified Claims”). The Indemnified Claims have been tendered to, and are being defended by, such seller. The seller has met its obligations, in all respects, and the Company does not have any reason to believe such party would fail to fulfill its obligations in the future. To date, no judgments have been rendered against the Company as a result of any asbestos-related lawsuit. The Company believes that it has good and valid defenses to each of these claims and intends to defend them vigorously.
Environmental Matters
Certain historic processes in the manufacture of products have resulted in environmentally hazardous waste by-products as defined by federal and state laws and regulations. At June 30, 2025, the Company is named a Potentially Responsible Party (“PRP”) at 13 non-AMETEK-owned former waste disposal or treatment sites (the “non-owned” sites). The Company is identified as a “de minimis” party in a majority of these sites based on the low volume of waste attributed to the Company relative to the amounts attributed to other named PRPs. The Company is participating in the investigation and/or related required remediation as part of a PRP Group and reserves have been established to satisfy the Company’s expected obligations. The Company historically has resolved these issues within established reserve levels and reasonably expects this result will continue. In addition to these non-owned sites, the Company has an ongoing practice of providing reserves for probable remediation activities at certain of its current or previously owned manufacturing locations (the “owned” sites). For claims and proceedings against the Company with respect to other environmental matters, reserves are established once the Company has determined that a loss is probable and estimable. This estimate is refined as the Company moves through the various stages of investigation, risk assessment, feasibility study and corrective action processes. In certain instances, the Company has developed a range of estimates for such costs and has recorded a liability based on the best estimate. It is reasonably possible that the actual cost of remediation of the individual sites could vary from the current estimates and the amounts accrued in the consolidated financial statements; however, the amounts of such variances are not expected to result in a material change to the consolidated financial statements. In estimating the Company’s liability for remediation, the Company also considers the likely proportionate share of the anticipated remediation expense and the ability of the other PRPs to fulfill their obligations.
Total environmental reserves at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 were $29.1 million and $29.8 million, respectively, for both non-owned and owned sites. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recorded $3.5 million in reserves. Additionally, the Company spent $4.2 million on environmental matters for the six months ended June 30, 2025.
The Company has agreements with other former owners of certain of its acquired businesses, as well as new owners of previously owned businesses. Under certain of the agreements, the former or new owners retained, or assumed and agreed to indemnify the Company against, certain environmental and other liabilities under certain circumstances. The Company and some of these other parties also carry insurance coverage for some environmental matters.
The Company believes it has established reserves for the environmental matters described above, which are sufficient to perform all known responsibilities under existing claims and consent orders. In the opinion of management, based on presently available information and the Company’s historical experience related to such matters, an adequate provision for probable costs has been made and the ultimate cost resulting from these actions is not expected to materially affect the consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows of the Company.
16. Reportable Segments
The Company has two reportable segments, Electronic Instruments Group and Electromechanical Group. The Company identifies its operating segments for segment reporting purposes primarily on the basis of product type, production processes, distribution methods and management organizations.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Recent Trends
In recent months, the United States government announced additional tariffs and trade restrictions on goods imported into the U.S. from various nations. In response, some nations countered with or are considering reciprocal tariffs and other actions. The U.S. government is negotiating with several of these nations regarding the tariffs, however, the outcome of these negotiations is still uncertain. Our businesses have been proactive in addressing the potential impacts of tariffs, including targeted pricing initiatives, strategic adjustments to our global supply chains, and leveraging our worldwide manufacturing footprint to localize production. As the situation continues to evolve, we cannot be certain of the outcome, which could adversely impact demand for our products, costs, inflation, customers, suppliers, and the overall global economy. We continue to monitor and analyze the impacts of the tariffs and will continue to implement appropriate actions as necessary to attempt to mitigate their effects.
Results of Operations
For the quarter ended June 30, 2025, the Company posted record sales as well as strong orders, operating income, and operating margins. Contributions from the acquisitions of Virtek Vision International ("Virtek") in October 2024 and Kern Microtechnik ("Kern") in January 2025 as well as our Operational Excellence initiatives had a positive impact on the second quarter of 2025 results.
