Frequently Asked Questions

The actual financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, are detailed in the press release furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this 8-K filing. Investors should review that document for specific figures.

Not being an 'emerging growth company' means AMETEK is subject to the full range of SEC reporting and compliance requirements applicable to larger, more established public companies, rather than the relaxed rules available to emerging growth companies.

This refers to a provision allowing emerging growth companies to delay the adoption of certain new accounting standards. AMETEK's filing indicates it has not elected to use this extended period, meaning it complies with new standards as they are issued, similar to other public companies.

The press release announcing these financial results was issued on August 2, 2017, and the 8-K filing was made on the same date.
