AMETEK Announces Third Quarter Results

Berwyn, Pa., October 31, 2024 – AMETEK, Inc. (NYSE: AME) today announced its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2024.

AMETEK’s third quarter 2024 sales were $1.71 billion, a 5% increase over the third quarter of 2023. Operating income increased 2% to $445.9 million and operating margins were 26.1% in the quarter. Operating cash flow in the quarter was $487.2 million, up 3% versus the prior year, with free cash flow to net income conversion of 135%.

On a GAAP basis, third quarter earnings per diluted share were $1.47. Adjusted earnings in the quarter were $1.66 per diluted share, up 1% from the third quarter of 2023. Adjusted earnings adds back non-cash, after-tax, acquisition-related intangible amortization of $0.20 per diluted share. A reconciliation of reported GAAP results to adjusted results is included in the financial tables accompanying this release and on the AMETEK website.

"AMETEK delivered excellent results in the third quarter with double digit orders growth, outstanding operating performance, excellent cash flow conversion, and earnings ahead of expectations," stated David A. Zapico, AMETEK Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Our businesses are doing an outstanding job managing through short-term macro uncertainties while ensuring we are positioning our businesses for long-term growth across our attractive markets. Additionally, we are pleased to announce the acquisition of Virtek Vision, an outstanding fit with our advanced metrology instrumentation businesses."

Electronic Instruments Group (EIG)
EIG sales in the third quarter were $1.13 billion, in line with the third quarter of 2023. EIG’s operating income in the quarter increased 1% to $339.0 million with operating income margins of 29.9%, an increase of 40 basis points compared to the third quarter of 2023.

"We are pleased with EIG's solid third quarter performance, as they continue to deliver excellent operating results and robust margins," stated Mr. Zapico. "EIG remains well positioned to benefit from continued strong investments across their key end markets."

Electromechanical Group (EMG)
EMG sales in the third quarter were $574.0 million, up 18% from the third quarter of 2023. EMG’s third quarter operating income was $131.5 million, up 3% versus the prior year, while operating income margins were 22.9% in the quarter.

"EMG delivered solid results in the third quarter with double-digit organic orders growth and 170 basis points of sequential margin improvement," noted Mr. Zapico. "EMG continues to execute well and remains well-positioned in its core markets."

2024 Outlook
"AMETEK’s results in the third quarter were above expectations, highlighting the strength of the AMETEK Growth Model and our proven ability to navigate through uncertain market conditions," stated Mr. Zapico. "We have an outstanding portfolio of highly differentiated businesses and remain confident in our strategy and long-term growth prospects."

“For 2024, we continue to expect overall sales to be up between 5% and 7% compared to 2023. Adjusted diluted earnings per share are now expected to be in the range of $6.77 to $6.82, up 6% to 7% versus the prior year. This is an increase from our previous guidance range of $6.70 to $6.80 per diluted share,” he added.

“For the fourth quarter of 2024, overall sales are expected to be up mid-single digits on a percentage basis compared to the same period last year. Adjusted earnings in the quarter are anticipated to be in the range of $1.81 to $1.86, up 8% to 11% compared to the fourth quarter of 2023," concluded Mr. Zapico.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
The Company supplements its consolidated financial statements presented on a U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) basis with certain non-GAAP financial information to provide investors with greater insight, increased transparency and allow for a more comprehensive understanding of the information used by management in its financial and operational decision-making. Reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures are included in the accompanying financial tables. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a replacement for, or superior to, the comparable GAAP measure, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
The Company believes that these measures provide useful information to investors by reflecting additional ways of viewing AMETEK’s operations that, when reconciled to the comparable GAAP measure, helps our investors to better understand the long-term profitability trends of our business, and facilitates easier comparisons of our profitability to prior and future periods and to our peers.
