What IDEX Corporation told the SEC could break it.
IDEX's disclosures reflect a globally diversified manufacturer exposed to currencies and trade policy. About 34% of its 2025 net sales were recorded by subsidiaries with non-dollar functional currencies, so a stronger US dollar creates unfavorable translation effects on its results. Its global operations also face changing trade regulations, trade wars and new or increased tariffs — particularly around US-China and US-Russia relations — which it tries to offset through price increases and supplier programs. Separately, it and seven subsidiaries are defendants in numerous asbestos-related personal-injury lawsuits tied to products once made with asbestos-containing components.
3 self-disclosed vulnerabilities, pulled from its own filings — each in the company’s words, with the source. This is the risk register almost nobody reads.
In its own words
What could break it.
Currency (FX)
- foreign-currency translation (34% non-USD net sales)medium
About 34% of IDEX's 2025 net sales were recorded by subsidiaries with non-US-dollar functional currencies; a stronger US dollar produces unfavorable translation effects on its results, financial position and cash flows.
“Approximately 34% of net sales in 2025 were recorded by subsidiaries with functional currencies other than the U.S. Dollar. Results of these subsidiaries are translated into U.S. Dollars for reporting purposes and the strengthening of the U.S. Dollar could result in unfavorable translation effects.”
