Been There, Done That
20
• $35M Subsidiary of Schindler Elevator (€4B)
• Privately Held
• Light Manufacturing
• Strategic Objectives (ca. 1997) – Mature markets in the US generate cash
to fund international growth at parent
– Revenue growth in the US focused on new product segments and custom manufacturing
Been There, Done That
21
• $4B subsidiary of Monsanto ($9B)
• Publicly Held
• Pharmaceuticals
• Strategic Objectives (ca. 1999) – Drive revenue growth on new product (Celebrex)
– Focus R&D on long-term pipeline in smaller set of markets, funded by reallocation of resources
Been There, Done That
22
• $700M subsidiary of Vivendi ($29B)
• Publicly Held (International)
• Consumer Durables Manufacturing
• Strategic Objectives (ca. 2002) – Balance revenue flow by growing recurring streams
– Streamline back office for company-owned stores by establishing shared services
Been There, Done That
23
• $3.5B subsidiary of Rank Group
• Private Equity
• Foodservice Disposables Manufacturing & Distribution
• High Volume, Low Mix
• Strategic Objectives (ca. 2011) – Mature markets in the US generate cash
to fund acquisitions at parent
– Grow revenue by acquiring new products that will leverage broader distribution network
Been There, Done That
24
• $2B, Diversified Engineered Products
• Publicly Held
• Industrial Manufacturing
• Low Volume, High Mix
• Strategic Objectives “15/15”
– 15% Annual Earnings Growth
– 15% ROIC (Return on Invested Capital)
Top Line is Better
15% Annual Earnings Growth
• Aggressively Acquisitive, ~$100-200M per year
• Organic is a Focus in 2013
• We prefer revenue growth over cost-cutting – IDEX businesses typically enjoy strong margins
– Contribution Margin has faster / stronger impact than cost-cutting
15% Return on Invested Capital (ROIC)
• ROIC measures how well a company generates cash flow relative to the capital it has invested
• Working Capital, Lean, & Productivity fall under this topic

Opportunity Opportunity Phase of New Projects – prepping for Concept Tollgate
Projects Grouped by business, and moving through the PM stage gates
