Exhibit 99.2

Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Information

On September 30, 2019, pursuant to the previously disclosed purchase agreement, dated as of May 15, 2019, by and among Colfax Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) and certain entities affiliated with KPS Capital Partners, LP (collectively, the “Purchaser”), the Company completed the divestiture of certain subsidiaries and assets comprising the Company’s Air & Gas Handling business (the “Business”). The aggregate purchase price of $1.8 billion comprised $1.67 billion paid at closing, the assumption of certain liabilities, and is subject to certain adjustments pursuant to the purchase agreement.

The sale of the Business is considered a significant disposition for purposes of Item 2.01 of Form 8-K. As a result, the Company prepared the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X.

The Company presented its operations for the Air & Gas Handling business as discontinued operations in its condensed consolidated financial statements included in the Form 10-Q for the three and six months ended June 28, 2019. The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations for the six months ended June 28, 2019 and for years ended December 31, 2018, 2017, and 2016 give effect to this divestiture as if it had occurred on January 1, 2016. The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet gives effect to this divestiture as if it had occurred on June 28, 2019, the date of the Company’s most recently filed balance sheet.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information should be read in conjunction with (i) the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in Colfax’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 filed with the SEC on February 21, 2019, and (ii) the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations” included in Colfax’s Form 10-Q for the three and six months ended June 28, 2019 filed with the SEC on August 6, 2019.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information is presented based on assumptions, adjustments, and currently available information described in the accompanying notes and is intended for informational purposes only. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information is not necessarily indicative of what Colfax’s results of operations or financial condition would have been had the divestiture been completed on the dates assumed. In addition, it is not necessarily indicative of Colfax’s future results of operations or financial condition.
