IDEX reorganized its segment reporting structure, elevating Health Science Technologies (HST) to the primary segment position while expanding its Life Sciences market definition to include analytical instruments and pharmaceutical/medical sales.

This restructuring signals IDEX's strategic pivot toward higher-margin healthcare markets, with HST now representing 43% of net sales compared to 39% previously, while generating 39% of adjusted EBITDA. The expanded Life Sciences definition suggests the company is consolidating related healthcare businesses to present a more cohesive growth story in attractive end markets.
