Full Year 2023 Highlights:

  • 10% revenue growth (8% organic) driven by higher volume, pricing actions, favorable foreign currency impacts and acquisitions
  • 16.1% operating margin, up 40 basis points; 16.9% adjusted operating margin, up 100 basis points
  • Operating cash flow of $538 million, up $260 million; free cash flow of $430 million, up $257 million
  • Initiates 2024 EPS guidance up 13% at the midpoint (adjusted EPS up 9% at the midpoint)

STAMFORD, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 8, 2024-- February 8, 2024-- ITT Inc. (NYSE: ITT) today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2023. For the fourth quarter, the company reported a year-over-year revenue increase of 7%, up 4% on an organic basis, primarily driven by higher Friction original equipment (OE) volumes in Motion Technologies (MT) and pricing actions in Connect & Control Technologies (CCT) and Industrial Process (IP). Fourth quarter results included a 2% favorable foreign currency impact, while the Micro-Mode acquisition contributed 1% to total revenue growth.

Fourth quarter operating income of $119 million decreased 21% compared to prior year, and operating margin of 14.3% decreased 520 basis points versus prior year primarily due to a one-time loss of $15 million on the sale of the Matrix Composites (Matrix) business in CCT, a prior year non-recurring gain of $16 million on the sale of IP facilities, higher restructuring and corporate charges and cost inflation. On an adjusted basis, operating income of $141 million increased 4% primarily due to higher volumes, pricing actions and productivity. The increase was partially offset by higher corporate expenses, including strategic growth investments, incentive compensation and M&A costs.

Earnings per share for the fourth quarter of $1.12 decreased 19% versus prior year primarily due to the impact of non-recurring items, lower operating income and higher tax rate, partially offset by lower interest expense. On an adjusted basis, earnings per share of $1.34 increased 4% compared to prior year due to higher operating income including favorable foreign currency impact.

Operating cash flow for the fourth quarter of $170 million increased 5% versus prior year driven by higher operating income and strong accounts receivable collections. Free cash flow for the fourth quarter of $131 million was flat versus prior year. For the full year 2023, ITT generated operating cash flow of $538 million, an increase of $260 million versus 2022, and free cash flow of $430 million, an increase of $257 million versus 2022. Both increases were due to higher net income and improved inventory velocity and receivables collections.

 

Change in Presentation of Operating Income and Operating Margin

ITT is transitioning to a new measure for operating income and operating margin in its press release and related earnings presentation. This is not due to any error, correction or misstatement by ITT. Beginning with the fourth quarter of 2023, the company will no longer disclose total segment operating income or margin, or total adjusted segment operating income or margin and instead will focus on operating income and margin and adjusted operating income and margin on a consolidated basis. This will reflect our previous segment operating income measures minus corporate expense (previously presented below the segment operating income line in ITT’s earnings materials). The difference between adjusted segment operating margin and adjusted operating margin for the fourth quarter and full year 2023 is 180 and 170 basis points, respectively.

Management Commentary

“In 2023, ITT continued to drive growth and differentiation through performance and innovation. We drove high single-digit orders growth whilst also winning the largest single contract ever in our flow business. We outperformed the global automotive market by roughly six hundred basis points in Friction OE to reach more than 29% market share globally. And we invested over $100 million towards future growth, including for capacity expansion and new technologies. With our pricing actions and relentless productivity focus, we grew operating margins 100 basis points, with 330 basis points of improvement in Industrial Process. On capital deployment, we expanded our flow and connectors portfolio through two strategic acquisitions, divested two non-core product lines, and repurchased nearly $70 million of ITT shares. We positioned ITT for another strong performance in 2024,” said Luca Savi, ITT’s Chief Executive Officer and President.

Motion Technologies revenue increased 10%, driven by higher sales volume in Friction OE, including 30% growth in China, higher rail shipments and favorable foreign currency translation. Operating income of $60 million increased 26% due to productivity savings, higher sales volume, and lower material inflation, partially offset by higher labor and overhead costs, unfavorable product mix and higher strategic investments.

Industrial Process revenue increased 3%, primarily driven by growth in aftermarket parts and service, pricing actions and favorable foreign currency impacts. Operating income of $57 million decreased 29% driven by a non-recurring gain of $16 million in the prior year on facilities sales and higher restructuring and labor costs, partially offset by pricing actions and productivity savings.

Connect & Control Technologies revenue increased 7%, primarily driven by growth in aerospace and industrial components, pricing actions, the Micro-Mode acquisition and favorable foreign currency impacts. Operating income of $17 million decreased 48% driven by a one-time loss of $15 million on the sale of Matrix and higher raw material, labor and overhead costs. The decrease was partially offset by pricing actions and productivity savings. On an adjusted basis, operating income of $33 million increased 6% due to pricing actions.

Quarterly Dividend Increase

The company announced today an increase in its quarterly dividend of 10% to $0.319 per share on the company’s outstanding common stock. ITT’s Board of Directors approved the cash dividend for the first quarter of 2024, which will be payable on April 1, 2024 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on March 8, 2024. The 10% increase in the quarterly dividend announced today follows increases of 20% and 10% in 2022 and 2023, respectively. Including the 10% increase in 2024, the company’s dividend has grown at a 16% compounded annual growth rate since 2019.

2024 Guidance

We expect revenue growth of 9% to 12%, up 3% to 6% on an organic basis; operating margin of 16.7% to 17.3%, and adjusted operating margin of 16.9% to 17.5%, flat to up 60 bps; EPS of $5.37 to $5.82, and adjusted EPS of $5.45 to $5.90, representing growth of 9% at the midpoint; and free cash flow of $435 million to $475 million, representing free cash flow margin of 12% to 13% for full year 2024.

It is not possible, without unreasonable efforts, to estimate the impacts of foreign currency fluctuations, acquisitions and certain other special items that may occur in 2024 as these items are inherently uncertain and difficult to predict. As a result, we are unable to quantify certain amounts that would be included in a reconciliation of organic revenue growth and adjusted operating margin to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures without unreasonable efforts and we have not provided reconciliations for these forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures.

Investor Conference Call Details

ITT’s management will host a conference call for investors on Thursday, February 8, 2024 at 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time. The briefing can be accessed live via webcast which is available on the company’s website: https://investors.itt.com. A replay of the webcast will be available two hours after the call until Thursday, February 22, 2024 at midnight Eastern Time. Reconciliations of non-GAAP financial performance metrics to their most comparable U.S. GAAP financial performance metrics are defined and presented below and should not be considered a substitute for, nor superior to, the financial data prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

 

Safe Harbor Statement

This release contains “forward-looking statements” intended to qualify for the safe harbor from liability established by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In addition, the conference call (including the financial results presentation material) may include, and officers and representatives of ITT may from time to time make and discuss, projections, goals, assumptions, and statements that may constitute “forward-looking statements”. These forward-looking statements are not historical facts, but rather represent only a belief regarding future events based on current expectations, estimates, assumptions and projections about our business, future financial results, the industry in which we operate, and other legal, regulatory, and economic developments. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, future strategic plans and other statements that describe the company’s business strategy, outlook, objectives, plans, intentions or goals, and any discussion of future events and future operating or financial performance.

We use words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “target,” “future,” “may,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “potential,” “continue,” “guidance” and other similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are uncertain and, by their nature, many are inherently unpredictable and outside of ITT’s control, and are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in, or reasonably inferred from, such forward-looking statements.

Where in any forward-looking statement we express an expectation or belief as to future results or events, such expectation or belief is based on current plans and expectations of our management, expressed in good faith and believed to have a reasonable basis. However, we cannot provide any assurance that the expectation or belief will occur or that anticipated results will be achieved or accomplished.

Among the factors that could cause our results to differ materially from those indicated by forward-looking statements are risks and uncertainties inherent in our business including, without limitation:

  • uncertain global economic and capital markets conditions, which have been influenced by heightened geopolitical tensions, inflation, changes in monetary policies, the threat of a possible global economic recession, trade disputes between the U.S. and its trading partners, political and social unrest, and the availability and fluctuations in prices of energy and commodities, including steel, oil, copper and tin;
  • fluctuations in interest rates and the impact of such fluctuations on customer behavior and on our cost of debt;
  • fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and the impact of such fluctuations on our revenues, customer demand for our products and on our hedging arrangements;
  • volatility in raw material prices and our suppliers’ ability to meet quality and delivery requirements;
  • risk of liabilities from recent mergers, acquisitions, or venture investments, and past divestitures and spin-offs;
  • our inability to hire or retain key personnel;
  • failure to compete successfully and innovate in our markets;
  • failure to manage the distribution of products and services effectively;
  • failure to protect our intellectual property rights or violations of the intellectual property rights of others;
  • the extent to which there are quality problems with respect to manufacturing processes or finished goods;
  • the risk of cybersecurity breaches or failure of any information systems used by the Company, including any flaws in the implementation of any enterprise resource planning systems;
  • loss of or decrease in sales from our most significant customers;
  • risks due to our operations and sales outside the U.S. and in emerging markets, including the imposition of tariffs and trade sanctions;
  • fluctuations in demand or customers’ levels of capital investment, maintenance expenditures, production, and market cyclicality;
  • the risk of material business interruptions, particularly at our manufacturing facilities;
  • risks related to government contracting, including changes in levels of government spending and regulatory and contractual requirements applicable to sales to the U.S. government;
  • fluctuations in our effective tax rate, including as a result of changing tax laws and other possible tax reform legislation in the U.S. and other jurisdictions;
  • changes in environmental laws or regulations, discovery of previously unknown or more extensive contamination, or the failure of a potentially responsible party to perform;
  • failure to comply with the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (or other applicable anti-corruption legislation), export controls and trade sanctions; and
  • risk of product liability claims and litigation.

The forward-looking statements included in this release speak only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation (and expressly disclaim any obligation) to update any forward-looking statements, whether written or oral or as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Key Performance Indicators and Non-GAAP Measures

Management reviews a variety of key performance indicators including revenue, segment operating income and margins, earnings per share, order growth, and backlog, some of which are calculated on a non-GAAP basis. In addition, we consider certain measures to be useful to management and investors when evaluating our operating performance for the periods presented. These measures provide a tool for evaluating our ongoing operations and management of assets from period to period. This information can assist investors in assessing our financial performance and measures our ability to generate capital for deployment among competing strategic alternatives and initiatives, including, but not limited to, acquisitions, dividends, and share repurchases. Some of these metrics, however, are not measures of financial performance under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) and should not be considered a substitute for measures determined in accordance with GAAP. We consider the following non-GAAP measures, which may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies, to be key performance indicators for purposes of our reconciliation tables.

Organic Revenues and Organic Orders are defined, respectively, as revenue and orders, excluding the impacts of foreign currency fluctuations and acquisitions. The period-over-period change resulting from foreign currency fluctuations is estimated using a fixed exchange rate for both the current and prior periods. We believe that reporting organic revenue and organic orders provides useful information to investors by helping identify underlying trends in our business and facilitating comparisons of our revenue performance with prior and future periods and to our peers.

Adjusted Operating Income is defined as operating income adjusted to exclude special items that include, but are not limited to, restructuring, divestiture-related costs, certain asset impairment charges, certain acquisition-related impacts, and unusual or infrequent operating items. Special items represent charges or credits that impact current results, which management views as unrelated to the Company's ongoing operations and performance. Adjusted Operating Margin is defined as adjusted operating income divided by revenue. We believe these financial measures are useful to investors and other users of our financial statements in evaluating ongoing operating profitability, as well as in evaluating operating performance in relation to our competitors.

Adjusted Income from Continuing Operations is defined as income from continuing operations attributable to ITT Inc. adjusted to exclude special items that include, but are not limited to, restructuring, divestiture-related costs, certain asset impairment charges, certain acquisition-related impacts, income tax settlements or adjustments, and unusual or infrequent items. Special items represent charges or credits, on an after-tax basis, that impact current results, which management views as unrelated to the Company’s ongoing operations and performance. The after-tax basis of each special item is determined using the jurisdictional tax rate of where the expense or benefit occurred. Adjusted income from continuing operations per diluted share (adjusted EPS) is defined as adjusted income from continuing operations divided by diluted weighted average common shares outstanding. We believe that adjusted income from continuing operations and adjusted EPS are useful to investors and other users of our financial statements in evaluating ongoing operating profitability, as well as in evaluating operating performance in relation to our competitors.

Free Cash Flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures. Free Cash Flow Margin is defined as free cash flow divided by revenue. We believe that free cash flow and free cash flow margin provides useful information to investors as it provides insight into a primary cash flow metric used by management to monitor and evaluate cash flows generated by our operations.

Note: The Company has provided forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures for organic revenue growth and adjusted operating margin.

ITT Reports 2023 Third Quarter Earnings Per Share (EPS) of $1.34, Adjusted EPS of $1.37

  • 9% revenue growth (5% organic) driven by pump projects and aftermarket, aerospace and defense components, and Friction OE outperformance
  • 19.1% segment operating margin (19.4% adjusted), 150 basis points expansion (120 basis points adjusted); segment operating income increased 19% (17% adjusted)
  • Year-to-date operating cash flow of $368 million, free cash flow of $299 million
  • Raising 2023 full year guidance across all metrics

STAMFORD, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 2, 2023-- November 2, 2023-- ITT Inc. (NYSE: ITT) today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2023. The company reported a year-over-year revenue increase of 9%, primarily driven by 13% growth in both Industrial Process and Connect & Control Technologies. Foreign currency translation drove a 3% favorable impact and the acquisition of Micro-Mode contributed 1% to total revenue growth.

Third quarter segment operating income of $157 million increased 19% versus prior year (17% adjusted) due to productivity, pricing actions and higher sales volume. This was partially offset by higher compensation costs, overhead inflation and strategic growth investments.

EPS for the third quarter of $1.34 increased 9% versus prior year primarily due to segment operating income growth and benefits from share repurchases. Adjusted EPS of $1.37 increased 14% compared to prior year. Adjustments to EPS are primarily related to restructuring costs to optimize the company’s cost base and write-downs due to the suspension of business in Russia.

Operating cash flow for the third quarter of $170 million increased $109 million versus prior year primarily driven by higher operating income and improved working capital management. Free cash flow for the quarter of $148 million increased $113 million versus prior year. On a year-to-date basis, ITT generated operating cash flow of $368 million, up $252 million versus 2022, and free cash flow of $299 million, up $258 million versus 2022.

Management Commentary

“In Q3, we continued to generate strong growth and execute on all fronts. Our teams drove share gains in automotive and rail, large project growth and aftermarket demand in pumps and valves, and growth in aerospace and defense. Once again, we delivered strong year-over-year and sequential segment margin expansion, and are accelerating towards our 20% long-term target. We also generated more than $350 million of cash flow this year, acquired Svanehøj to grow our flow portfolio, and will continue to put our cash to work with further M&A opportunities and the new $1 billion share repurchase program we announced in October. As a result of this performance, today we are raising our 2023 outlook for the third straight quarter. We continue to execute at a new level of earnings, profitability and cash, whilst reinvesting in our businesses and growing through acquisitions to deliver long-term value,” said ITT’s Chief Executive Officer and President Luca Savi.

Note: all results unaudited; excludes intercompany eliminations of $1.2; comparisons to Q3 2022

Motion Technologies revenue increased $17 million primarily due to higher sales volume in Friction OE and favorable foreign currency translation impacts. Operating income increased $5 million primarily due to productivity actions and higher sales volume, partially offset by higher labor and overhead costs, unfavorable sales mix and prior year foreign currency hedge benefits.

 

Industrial Process revenue increased $31 million primarily due to growth in aftermarket parts and service and project shipments. Operating income increased $17 million primarily due to pricing actions, higher volume and productivity savings, partially offset by higher labor costs.

Connect & Control Technologies revenue increased $21 million primarily driven by pricing actions, volume growth in aerospace and defense components, and the acquisition of Micro-Mode. Operating income increased $3 million primarily due to pricing and productivity actions, partially offset by higher labor and overhead costs.

2023 Guidance

We now expect revenue growth of approximately 9%, up 7% to 8% on an organic basis; segment operating margin of 17.9% to 18.5% and adjusted segment operating margin of 18.3% to 18.9%, up 110 bps to 170 bps; EPS of $5.05 to $5.11 and adjusted EPS of $5.15 to $5.21, up 16% to 17% for the full year; and free cash flow of over $400 million, representing approximately 12% free cash flow margin for the full year 2023.*

*It is not possible, without unreasonable efforts, to estimate the impacts of foreign currency fluctuations, acquisitions and certain other special items that may occur in 2023 as these items are inherently uncertain and difficult to predict. As a result, we are unable to quantify certain amounts that would be included in a reconciliation of organic revenue growth and adjusted segment operating margin to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures without unreasonable efforts and accordingly we have not provided reconciliations for these forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures.

Safe Harbor Statement

This release contains “forward-looking statements” intended to qualify for the safe harbor from liability established by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In addition, the conference call (including the financial results presentation material) may include, and officers and representatives of ITT may from time to time make and discuss, projections, goals, assumptions, and statements that may constitute “forward-looking statements”. These forward-looking statements are not historical facts, but rather represent only a belief regarding future events based on current expectations, estimates, assumptions and projections about our business, future financial results and the industry in which we operate, and other legal, regulatory, and economic developments. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, future strategic plans and other statements that describe the company’s business strategy, outlook, objectives, plans, intentions or goals, and any discussion of future events and future operating or financial performance.

We use words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “target,” “future,” “may,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “potential,” “continue,” “guidance” and other similar expressions to identify such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are uncertain and, by their nature, many are inherently unpredictable and outside of ITT’s control, and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in, or reasonably inferred from, such forward-looking statements.

Where in any forward-looking statement we express an expectation or belief as to future results or events, such expectation or belief is based on current plans and expectations of our management, expressed in good faith and believed to have a reasonable basis. However, we cannot provide any assurance that the expectation or belief will occur or that anticipated results will be achieved or accomplished.

Among the factors that could cause our results to differ materially from those indicated by forward-looking statements are risks and uncertainties inherent in our business including, without limitation:

  • volatility in raw material prices and our suppliers’ ability to meet quality and delivery requirements;
  • uncertain global economic and capital markets conditions, which have been influenced by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Israel-Hamas conflict, the ongoing Russia- Ukraine war, inflation, changes in monetary policies, slowing growth and the threat of a possible global economic recession, trade disputes between the U.S. and its trading partners, political and social unrest, instability in the global banking system and the availability and fluctuations in prices of energy and commodities, including steel, oil, copper and tin;
  • impacts on our business stemming from continued supply chain disruptions and raw material shortages, which have resulted in increased costs and reduced availability of key commodities and other necessary services;
  • our inability to hire or retain key personnel;
  • fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and the impact of such fluctuations on our revenues, customer demand for our products and on our hedging arrangements;
  • failure to manage the distribution of products and services effectively;
  • fluctuations in interest rates and the impact of such fluctuations on customer behavior and on our cost of debt;
  • failure to compete successfully and innovate in our markets;
  • failure to protect our intellectual property rights or violations of the intellectual property rights of others;
  • the extent to which there are quality problems with respect to manufacturing processes or finished goods;
  • the risk of cybersecurity breaches or failure of any information systems used by the Company, including any flaws in the implementation of any enterprise resource planning systems, as well as similar breaches or failures affecting our business partners or service providers;
  • loss of or decrease in sales from our most significant customers;
  • risks due to our operations and sales outside the U.S. and in emerging markets, including the imposition of tariffs and trade sanctions;
  • fluctuations in demand or customers’ levels of capital investment, including as a result of the tentatively-settled United Automobile Workers (UAW) strike at the production facilities of some of our customers; and maintenance expenditures, especially in the energy, chemical and mining markets;
  • the impacts on our business from Russia’s war with Ukraine, and the global response to it;
  • the risk of material business interruptions, particularly at our manufacturing facilities;
  • risk of liabilities from past divestitures and spin-offs;
  • failure of portfolio management strategies, including cost-saving initiatives, to meet expectations;
  • risks related to government contracting, including changes in levels of government spending and regulatory and contractual requirements applicable to sales to the U.S. government;
  • fluctuations in our effective tax rate, including as a result of the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 and other possible tax reform legislation in the U.S. and other jurisdictions;
  • changes in environmental laws or regulations, discovery of previously unknown or more extensive contamination, or the failure of a potentially responsible party to perform;
  • increased scrutiny from investors, lenders and other market participants regarding our environmental, social and governance and sustainability responsibilities, which could expose us to additional costs and adversely impact our reputation, business, financial performance and growth;
  • failure to comply with the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (or other applicable anti-corruption legislation), export controls and trade sanctions;
  • risk of product liability claims and litigation; and
  • changes in laws relating to the use and transfer of personal and other information.
 

The forward-looking statements included in this release speak only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation (and expressly disclaim any obligation) to update any forward-looking statements, whether written or oral or as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Key Performance Indicators and Non-GAAP Measures

Management reviews a variety of key performance indicators including revenue, segment operating income and margins, earnings per share, order growth, and backlog, some of which are calculated on a non-GAAP basis. In addition, we consider certain measures to be useful to management and investors when evaluating our operating performance for the periods presented. These measures provide a tool for evaluating our ongoing operations and management of assets from period to period. This information can assist investors in assessing our financial performance and measures our ability to generate capital for deployment among competing strategic alternatives and initiatives, including, but not limited to, acquisitions, dividends, and share repurchases. Some of these metrics, however, are not measures of financial performance under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) and should not be considered a substitute for measures determined in accordance with GAAP. We consider the following non-GAAP measures, which may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies, to be key performance indicators for purposes of our reconciliation tables.
Organic Revenues and Organic Orders are defined, respectively, as revenue and orders, excluding the impacts of foreign currency fluctuations and acquisitions. The period-over-period change resulting from foreign currency fluctuations is estimated using a fixed exchange rate for both the current and prior periods. We believe that reporting organic revenue and organic orders provides useful information to investors by helping identify underlying trends in our business and facilitating comparisons of our revenue performance with prior and future periods and to our peers.
Adjusted Operating Income and Adjusted Segment Operating Income are defined, respectively, as total operating income and segment operating income, adjusted to exclude special items that include, but are not limited to, restructuring, certain asset impairment charges, certain acquisition-related impacts, and unusual or infrequent operating items. Special items represent charges or credits that impact current results, which management views as unrelated to the Company's ongoing operations and performance. Adjusted Operating Margin and Adjusted Segment Operating Margin are defined as adjusted operating income or adjusted segment operating income, respectively, divided by revenue. We believe these financial measures are useful to investors and other users of our financial statements in evaluating ongoing operating profitability, as well as in evaluating operating performance in relation to our competitors.
Adjusted Income from Continuing Operations is defined as income from continuing operations attributable to ITT Inc. adjusted to exclude special items that include, but are not limited to, restructuring, certain asset impairment charges, certain acquisition-related impacts, income tax settlements or adjustments, and unusual or infrequent items. Special items represent charges or credits, on an after-tax basis, that impact current results, which management views as unrelated to the Company’s ongoing operations and performance. The after-tax basis of each special item is determined using the jurisdictional tax rate of where the expense or benefit occurred. Adjusted income from continuing operations per diluted share (adjusted EPS) is defined as adjusted income from continuing operations divided by diluted weighted average common shares outstanding. We believe that adjusted income from continuing operations and adjusted EPS are useful to investors and other users of our financial statements in evaluating ongoing operating profitability, as well as in evaluating operating performance in relation to our competitors.
Free Cash Flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures. Free Cash Flow Margin is defined as free cash flow divided by revenue. We believe that free cash flow and free cash flow margin provides useful information to investors as it provides insight into a primary cash flow metric used by management to monitor and evaluate cash flows generated by our operations.

Note:

  The Company has provided forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures for organic revenue growth and adjusted segment operating margin. It is not possible, without unreasonable efforts, to estimate the impacts of foreign currency fluctuations, acquisitions and certain other special items that may occur in 2023 as these items are inherently uncertain and difficult to predict. As a result, the Company is unable to quantify certain amounts that would be included in a reconciliation of organic revenue growth and adjusted segment operating margin to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures without unreasonable efforts and accordingly has not provided reconciliations for these forward looking non-GAAP financial measures.

ITT Reports 2023 Second Quarter Earnings Per Share (EPS) of $1.31, Adjusted EPS of $1.33

  • 14% orders growth (13% organic) driven by pump project wins and aftermarket demand, aerospace growth, and Friction OE and rail share gains
  • 14% revenue growth (12% organic) driven by higher volume and pricing across all businesses
  • 18.3% segment operating margin (18.7% adjusted), 270 basis points expansion (280 basis points adjusted); segment operating income increased 33%
  • Raising 2023 full year margin and EPS guidance

August 3, 2023-- ITT Inc. (NYSE: ITT) today reported financial results for the second quarter ended July 1, 2023. The company reported a year-over-year revenue increase of 14%, primarily driven by 23% growth in Industrial Process (IP) and 11% growth in Motion Technologies (MT), and pricing actions across all segments. The acquisition of Micro-Mode contributed 1% to total revenue growth and foreign currency translation drove a 1% favorable impact.

Second quarter segment operating income of $153 million increased 33% versus prior year (34% adjusted). The increase was due to higher sales volume, productivity, pricing actions and a gain on sale of a product line in CCT. This was partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency impacts and higher raw material and labor costs.

EPS for the second quarter of $1.31 increased 44% versus prior year primarily due to segment operating income growth and benefits from share repurchases, partially offset by higher interest expense. Adjusted EPS of $1.33 increased 36% compared to prior year. The difference between reported and adjusted EPS is primarily related to distributions of non-U.S. taxable income.

Operating cash flow for the second quarter of $140 million increased $83 million versus prior year primarily driven by higher operating income and improved working capital management. Free cash flow for the quarter of $122 million increased $83 million. On a year-to-date basis, ITT generated free cash flow of $152 million, up $145 million versus 2022.

Management Commentary

“ITT delivered a strong second quarter with growth and margin expansion across our businesses. Our teams drove double-digit growth in orders and revenue, with a book-to-bill once again above one. We expanded segment margins nearly 300 basis points, bolstered by the performance in Industrial Process and Motion Technologies. Our cash generation accelerated, which provides us the flexibility to execute M&A, pay down debt and repurchase shares whilst funding growth investments,” said ITT’s Chief Executive Officer and President Luca Savi.

“With a stronger than anticipated top line, improved margin outlook, an ending backlog of over $1.2 billion and orders up ten percent year-to-date, we are raising the midpoint of our adjusted EPS guidance by twenty-five cents to over $5. We are driving to a new level of performance for ITT. We are executing on our financial targets, investing in the business and deploying capital to sustain ITT’s differentiation, long-term value creation and outperformance,” concluded Savi.

Motion Technologies revenue increased $38 million primarily due to higher sales volume in Friction OE, favorable foreign currency translation impacts, and pricing actions. Operating income increased $11 million primarily due to higher sales volume and productivity and pricing actions, partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency impacts and higher raw material and labor costs.

 

Industrial Process revenue increased $54 million primarily due to growth in projects, baseline pumps, parts and service. Operating income increased $27 million primarily due to higher volume and pricing and productivity actions, partially offset by higher raw material costs and unfavorable sales mix.

Connect & Control Technologies revenue increased $9 million primarily driven by growth in aerospace and defense and the acquisition of Micro-Mode. This was offset by lower connector demand in Europe. Operating income was flat at $28 million as pricing and productivity actions and the net M&A impact were offset by higher raw material, labor and overhead costs and higher strategic growth investment.

2023 Guidance

The company is updating its 2023 guidance. We now expect segment operating margin of 17.4% to 18.2% and adjusted segment operating margin of 17.7% to 18.5%, up 50 bps to 130 bps. We now expect EPS of $4.85 to $5.05, and adjusted EPS of $4.95 to $5.15, up 11% to 16% for the full year. There is no change to the revenue guidance of 7% to 9% and 6% to 8% on an organic basis, or free cash flow guidance of $350 million to $400 million, representing free cash flow margin of 11% to 12%.

It is not possible, without unreasonable efforts, to estimate the impacts of foreign currency fluctuations, acquisitions and certain other special items that may occur in 2023 as these items are inherently uncertain and difficult to predict. As a result, we are unable to quantify certain amounts that would be included in a reconciliation of organic revenue growth and adjusted segment operating margin to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures without unreasonable efforts and accordingly we have not provided reconciliations for these forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures.

 

Investor Conference Call Details

ITT’s management will host a conference call for investors on Thursday, August 3 at 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time. The briefing can be accessed live via a webcast, which is available on the company’s website: https://investors.itt.com. A replay of the webcast will be available for 90 days following the presentation. A replay will also be available telephonically from two hours after the webcast until Thursday, August 17, 2023 at midnight Eastern Time. Reconciliations of non-GAAP financial performance metrics to their most comparable U.S. GAAP financial performance metrics are defined and presented below and should not be considered a substitute for, nor superior to, the financial data prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

 

Safe Harbor Statement

This release contains “forward-looking statements” intended to qualify for the safe harbor from liability established by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In addition, the conference call (including the financial results presentation material) may include, and officers and representatives of ITT may from time to time make and discuss, projections, goals, assumptions, and statements that may constitute “forward-looking statements”. These forward-looking statements are not historical facts, but rather represent only a belief regarding future events based on current expectations, estimates, assumptions and projections about our business, future financial results and the industry in which we operate, and other legal, regulatory, and economic developments. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, future strategic plans and other statements that describe the company’s business strategy, outlook, objectives, plans, intentions or goals, and any discussion of future events and future operating or financial performance.

We use words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “target,” “future,” “may,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “potential,” “continue,” “guidance” and other similar expressions to identify such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are uncertain and, by their nature, many are inherently unpredictable and outside of ITT’s control, and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in, or reasonably inferred from, such forward-looking statements.

Where in any forward-looking statement we express an expectation or belief as to future results or events, such expectation or belief is based on current plans and expectations of our management, expressed in good faith and believed to have a reasonable basis. However, we cannot provide any assurance that the expectation or belief will occur or that anticipated results will be achieved or accomplished.

Among the factors that could cause our results to differ materially from those indicated by forward-looking statements are risks and uncertainties inherent in our business including, without limitation:

  • volatility in raw material prices and our suppliers’ ability to meet quality and delivery requirements;
  • uncertain global economic and capital markets conditions, which have been influenced by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Russia-Ukraine war, inflation, changes in monetary policies, slowing growth and the threat of a possible global economic recession, trade disputes between the U.S. and its trading partners, political and social unrest, instability in the global banking system and the availability and fluctuations in prices of energy and commodities, including steel, oil, copper and tin;
  • impacts on our business stemming from continued supply chain disruptions and raw material shortages, which have resulted in increased costs and reduced availability of key commodities and other necessary services;
  • our inability to hire or retain key personnel;
  • fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and the impact of such fluctuations on our revenues, customer demand for our products and on our hedging arrangements;
  • failure to manage the distribution of products and services effectively;
  • fluctuations in interest rates and the impact of such fluctuations on customer behavior and on our cost of debt;
  • failure to compete successfully and innovate in our markets;
  • failure to protect our intellectual property rights or violations of the intellectual property rights of others;
  • the extent to which there are quality problems with respect to manufacturing processes or finished goods;
  • the risk of cybersecurity breaches or failure of any information systems used by the Company, including any flaws in the implementation of any enterprise resource planning systems, as well as similar breaches or failures affecting our business partners or service providers;
  • loss of or decrease in sales from our most significant customers;
  • risks due to our operations and sales outside the U.S. and in emerging markets, including the imposition of tariffs and trade sanctions;
  • fluctuations in demand or customers’ levels of capital investment and maintenance expenditures, especially in the energy, chemical and mining markets;
  • the impacts on our business from Russia’s war with Ukraine, and the global response to it;
  • the risk of material business interruptions, particularly at our manufacturing facilities;
  • risk of liabilities from past divestitures and spin-offs;
  • failure of portfolio management strategies, including cost-saving initiatives, to meet expectations;
  • risks related to government contracting, including changes in levels of government spending and regulatory and contractual requirements applicable to sales to the U.S. government;
  • fluctuations in our effective tax rate, including as a result of the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 and other possible tax reform legislation in the U.S. and other jurisdictions;
  • changes in environmental laws or regulations, discovery of previously unknown or more extensive contamination, or the failure of a potentially responsible party to perform;
  • increased scrutiny from investors, lenders and other market participants regarding our environmental, social and governance and sustainability responsibilities, which could expose us to additional costs and adversely impact our reputation, business, financial performance and growth;
  • failure to comply with the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (or other applicable anti-corruption legislation), export controls and trade sanctions;
  • risk of product liability claims and litigation; and
  • changes in laws relating to the use and transfer of personal and other information.

The forward-looking statements included in this release speak only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation (and expressly disclaim any obligation) to update any forward-looking statements, whether written or oral or as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Key Performance Indicators and Non-GAAP Measures
 
Management reviews a variety of key performance indicators including revenue, segment operating income and margins, earnings per share, order growth, and backlog, some of which are calculated on a non-GAAP basis. In addition, we consider certain measures to be useful to management and investors when evaluating our operating performance for the periods presented. These measures provide a tool for evaluating our ongoing operations and management of assets from period to period. This information can assist investors in assessing our financial performance and measures our ability to generate capital for deployment among competing strategic alternatives and initiatives, including, but not limited to, acquisitions, dividends, and share repurchases. Some of these metrics, however, are not measures of financial performance under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) and should not be considered a substitute for measures determined in accordance with GAAP. We consider the following non-GAAP measures, which may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies, to be key performance indicators for purposes of our reconciliation tables.
Organic Revenues and Organic Orders are defined, respectively, as revenue and orders, excluding the impacts of foreign currency fluctuations and acquisitions. The period-over-period change resulting from foreign currency fluctuations is estimated using a fixed exchange rate for both the current and prior periods. We believe that reporting organic revenue and organic orders provides useful information to investors by helping identify underlying trends in our business and facilitating comparisons of our revenue performance with prior and future periods and to our peers.
Adjusted Operating Income and Adjusted Segment Operating Income are defined, respectively, as total operating income and segment operating income, adjusted to exclude special items that include, but are not limited to, restructuring, certain asset impairment charges, certain acquisition-related impacts, and unusual or infrequent operating items. Special items represent charges or credits that impact current results, which management views as unrelated to the Company's ongoing operations and performance. Adjusted Operating Margin and Adjusted Segment Operating Margin are defined as adjusted operating income or adjusted segment operating income, respectively, divided by revenue. We believe these financial measures are useful to investors and other users of our financial statements in evaluating ongoing operating profitability, as well as in evaluating operating performance in relation to our competitors.
Adjusted Income from Continuing Operations is defined as income from continuing operations attributable to ITT Inc. adjusted to exclude special items that include, but are not limited to, restructuring, certain asset impairment charges, certain acquisition-related impacts, income tax settlements or adjustments, and unusual or infrequent items. Special items represent charges or credits, on an after-tax basis, that impact current results, which management views as unrelated to the Company’s ongoing operations and performance. The after-tax basis of each special item is determined using the jurisdictional tax rate of where the expense or benefit occurred. Adjusted income from continuing operations per diluted share (adjusted EPS) is defined as adjusted income from continuing operations divided by diluted weighted average common shares outstanding. We believe that adjusted income from continuing operations and adjusted EPS are useful to investors and other users of our financial statements in evaluating ongoing operating profitability, as well as in evaluating operating performance in relation to our competitors.
Free Cash Flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures. Free Cash Flow Margin is defined as free cash flow divided by revenue. We believe that free cash flow and free cash flow margin provides useful information to investors as it provides insight into a primary cash flow metric used by management to monitor and evaluate cash flows generated by our operations.

ITT Reports 2023 First Quarter Earnings Per Share (EPS) of $1.20, Adjusted EPS Of $1.17

  • 10% revenue growth driven by higher volume and pricing actions
  • 7% orders growth driven by Industrial Process (IP) short-cycle and pump projects, and Connect & Control Technologies (CCT) aerospace demand
  • 270 basis points segment operating margin expansion (150 basis points adjusted) to 17.3% (17.5% adjusted)
  • 36% EPS growth (21% adjusted) driven by pricing actions, volume leverage and productivity
  • Acquisition of Micro-Mode Products, leading provider of specialty harsh application connectors

May 4, 2023 -- ITT Inc. (NYSE: ITT) today reported financial results for the first quarter ended April 1, 2023. The company reported a year-over-year revenue increase of 10%, primarily driven by IP short-cycle demand and pump project activity, aerospace demand in CCT and pricing actions across all segments. The acquisition of Habonim contributed 2% to total revenue growth, which was offset by a 2% unfavorable impact from foreign currency translation.

First quarter segment operating income of $138 million increased 31% (20% adjusted) and segment operating margin of 17.3% increased 270 basis points versus prior year. The increases were due primarily to pricing actions which offset cost inflation, productivity, higher sales volume and the Habonim acquisition. The year-over-year segment operating income increase was also impacted by higher prior year charges related to the Russia-Ukraine war. On an adjusted basis, segment operating margin expanded 150 basis points to 17.5%.

EPS for the first quarter of $1.20 increased 36% primarily due to higher segment operating income and benefits from share repurchases, partially offset by foreign currency headwinds and higher corporate and interest expense. Adjusted EPS of $1.17 increased 21% compared to prior year. The difference between reported and adjusted EPS is due to the reversal of a tax valuation allowance partially offset by further charges related to the suspension of operations in Russia and expenses related to a foreign tax settlement.

Operating cash flow for the first quarter increased $61 million versus prior year to $58 million primarily driven by higher operating income and improved inventory management. Free cash flow for the quarter of $29 million increased $62 million versus prior year.

Management Commentary

“ITT delivered solid first quarter results to start 2023. We continue to gain market share in Friction, with 41 electric vehicle awards across global OEM platforms, and we secured a ten-year aftermarket agreement with Continental that positions ITT for long-term growth. Our pumps and flow business secured significant project awards linked to decarbonization and sustainability, and we are seeing strong demand in the aerospace and defense markets in CCT. Our performance and continued share gains drove strong orders and sales growth this quarter, and with the recent acquisition of specialty connectors manufacturer Micro-Mode Products, we’re positioned to capitalize on several growing end markets,” said ITT’s Chief Executive Officer and President Luca Savi.

“On the operational front, we continue to make good progress. IP expanded margins over 800 basis points to approximately 21 percent as investments in lean manufacturing mature. Across ITT, we are strengthening pricing actions to combat inflation while remaining vigilant on productivity. Our actions drove a more than 20 percent increase in adjusted EPS in Q1,” said Savi. “As a result of our strong Q1 performance, we are raising the mid-point of our adjusted EPS guidance range by five cents. Despite some indications of a slowdown in certain industrial markets, we continue to drive demand and orders outgrowth across ITT. This is a testament to the resilience and hard work of our business and our people.”

Note: all results unaudited; excludes intercompany eliminations of $1.0; comparisons to Q1 2022

Motion Technologies revenue decreased due to significant unfavorable foreign currency translation of $14 million and the impact of the Russia-Ukraine war, partially offset by pricing actions and higher volumes in Friction OE and growth in rail. Operating income decreased to $53 million primarily due to higher labor and overhead costs, and unfavorable foreign currency impacts of $3 million, partially offset by pricing and productivity actions.

Industrial Process revenue increased, driven by short-cycle demand and growth in pump projects, and the addition of Habonim. This was partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency translation of $2 million. Operating income increased to $55 million driven by pricing and productivity actions and higher volume, including from Habonim, partially offset by higher raw material costs.

Connect & Control Technologies revenue increased, driven by growth in the aerospace and defense markets. This was partially offset by an unfavorable foreign currency translation of $2 million. Operating income increased to $29 million driven by pricing and productivity actions, and higher volume, partially offset by higher raw material, labor and overhead costs.

2023 Guidance

The company is updating its 2023 guidance. We now expect EPS of $4.49 to $4.79, and adjusted EPS of $4.65 to $4.95, up 5% to 11% for the full year, an increase of ten cents on the low end of the previous guidance range. All other guidance metrics for 2023 are unchanged. This includes revenue growth of 7% to 9%, and 6% to 8% on an organic basis; segment operating margin of 17.0% to 17.8%, and adjusted segment operating margin of 17.3% to 18.1%, up 10 to 90 basis points; and free cash flow of $350 million to $400 million, representing free cash flow margin of 11% to 12%.

It is not possible, without unreasonable efforts, to estimate the impacts of foreign currency fluctuations, acquisitions and certain other special items that may occur in 2023 as these items are inherently uncertain and difficult to predict. As a result, we are unable to quantify certain amounts that would be included in a reconciliation of organic revenue growth and adjusted segment operating margin to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures without unreasonable efforts and we have not provided reconciliations for these forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures.

Safe Harbor Statement

This release contains “forward-looking statements” intended to qualify for the safe harbor from liability established by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In addition, the conference call (including the financial results presentation material) may include, and officers and representatives of ITT may from time to time make and discuss, projections, goals, assumptions, and statements that may constitute “forward-looking statements”. These forward-looking statements are not historical facts, but rather represent only a belief regarding future events based on current expectations, estimates, assumptions and projections about our business, future financial results and the industry in which we operate, and other legal, regulatory, and economic developments. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, future strategic plans and other statements that describe the company’s business strategy, outlook, objectives, plans, intentions or goals, and any discussion of future events and future operating or financial performance.

We use words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “target,” “future,” “may,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “potential,” “continue,” “guidance” and other similar expressions to identify such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are uncertain and, by their nature, many are inherently unpredictable and outside of ITT’s control, and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in, or reasonably inferred from, such forward-looking statements.

Where in any forward-looking statement we express an expectation or belief as to future results or events, such expectation or belief is based on current plans and expectations of our management, expressed in good faith and believed to have a reasonable basis. However, we cannot provide any assurance that the expectation or belief will occur or that anticipated results will be achieved or accomplished.

Among the factors that could cause our results to differ materially from those indicated by forward-looking statements are risks and uncertainties inherent in our business including, without limitation:

  • volatility in raw material prices and our suppliers’ ability to meet quality and delivery requirements;
  • uncertain global economic and capital markets conditions, which have been influenced by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Russia-Ukraine war, inflation, uncertainty regarding the U.S. federal government’s debt limit, changes in monetary policies, the threat of a possible global economic recession, trade disputes between the U.S. and its trading partners, political and social unrest, instability in the global banking system and the availability and fluctuations in prices of energy and commodities, including steel, oil, copper and tin;
  • impacts on our business stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic, including from government-mandated site closures, employee illness and absenteeism, and continued supply chain disruptions and raw material shortages, which have resulted in increased costs and reduced availability of key commodities and other necessary services;
  • our inability to hire or retain key personnel;
  • fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and the impact of such fluctuations on our revenues, customer demand for our products and on our hedging arrangements;
  • failure to manage the distribution of products and services effectively;
  • fluctuations in interest rates and the impact of such fluctuations on customer behavior and on our cost of debt;
  • failure to compete successfully and innovate in our markets;
  • failure to protect our intellectual property rights or violations of the intellectual property rights of others;
  • the extent to which there are quality problems with respect to manufacturing processes or finished goods;
  • the risk of cybersecurity breaches or failure of any information systems used by the Company, including any flaws in the implementation of any enterprise resource planning systems;
  • loss of or decrease in sales from our most significant customers;
  • risks due to our operations and sales outside the U.S. and in emerging markets, including the imposition of tariffs and trade sanctions;
  • fluctuations in demand or customers’ levels of capital investment and maintenance expenditures, especially in the energy, chemical and mining markets;
  • the impacts on our business from Russia’s war with Ukraine, and the global response to it;
  • the risk of material business interruptions, particularly at our manufacturing facilities;
  • risk of liabilities from past divestitures and spin-offs;
  • failure of portfolio management strategies, including cost-saving initiatives, to meet expectations;
  • risks related to government contracting, including changes in levels of government spending and regulatory and contractual requirements applicable to sales to the U.S. government;
  • fluctuations in our effective tax rate, including as a result of the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 and other possible tax reform legislation in the U.S. and other jurisdictions;
  • changes in environmental laws or regulations, discovery of previously unknown or more extensive contamination, or the failure of a potentially responsible party to perform;
  • failure to comply with the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (or other applicable anti-corruption legislation), export controls and trade sanctions;
  • risk of product liability claims and litigation; and
  • changes in laws relating to the use and transfer of personal and other information.

The forward-looking statements included in this release speak only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation (and expressly disclaim any obligation) to update any forward-looking statements, whether written or oral or as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Key Performance Indicators and Non-GAAP Measures

Management reviews a variety of key performance indicators including revenue, segment operating income and margins, earnings per share, order growth, and backlog, some of which are calculated on a non-GAAP basis. In addition, we consider certain measures to be useful to management and investors when evaluating our operating performance for the periods presented. These measures provide a tool for evaluating our ongoing operations and management of assets from period to period. This information can assist investors in assessing our financial performance and measures our ability to generate capital for deployment among competing strategic alternatives and initiatives, including, but not limited to, acquisitions, dividends, and share repurchases. Some of these metrics, however, are not measures of financial performance under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) and should not be considered a substitute for measures determined in accordance with GAAP. We consider the following non-GAAP measures, which may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies, to be key performance indicators for purposes of our reconciliation tables.

Organic Revenues and Organic Orders are defined, respectively, as revenue and orders, excluding the impacts of foreign currency fluctuations and acquisitions. The period-over-period change resulting from foreign currency fluctuations is estimated using a fixed exchange rate for both the current and prior periods. We believe that reporting organic revenue and organic orders provides useful information to investors by helping identify underlying trends in our business and facilitating comparisons of our revenue performance with prior and future periods and to our peers.

Adjusted Operating Income and Adjusted Segment Operating Income are defined, respectively, as total operating income and segment operating income, adjusted to exclude special items that include, but are not limited to, restructuring, certain asset impairment charges, certain acquisition-related impacts, and unusual or infrequent operating items. Special items represent charges or credits that impact current results, which management views as unrelated to the Company's ongoing operations and performance. Adjusted Operating Margin and Adjusted Segment Operating Margin are defined as adjusted operating income or adjusted segment operating income, respectively, divided by revenue. We believe these financial measures are useful to investors and other users of our financial statements in evaluating ongoing operating profitability, as well as in evaluating operating performance in relation to our competitors.

Adjusted Income from Continuing Operations is defined as income from continuing operations attributable to ITT Inc. adjusted to exclude special items that include, but are not limited to, restructuring, certain asset impairment charges, certain acquisition-related impacts, income tax settlements or adjustments, and unusual or infrequent items. Special items represent charges or credits, on an after-tax basis, that impact current results, which management views as unrelated to the Company’s ongoing operations and performance. The after-tax basis of each special item is determined using the jurisdictional tax rate of where the expense or benefit occurred. Adjusted income from continuing operations per diluted share (adjusted EPS) is defined as adjusted income from continuing operations divided by diluted weighted average common shares outstanding. We believe that adjusted income from continuing operations and adjusted EPS are useful to investors and other users of our financial statements in evaluating ongoing operating profitability, as well as in evaluating operating performance in relation to our competitors.

Free Cash Flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures. Free Cash Flow Margin is defined as free cash flow divided by revenue. We believe that free cash flow and free cash flow margin provides useful information to investors as it provides insight into a primary cash flow metric used by management to monitor and evaluate cash flows generated by our operations.

Note:

The Company has provided forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures for organic revenue growth and adjusted segment operating margin. It is not possible, without unreasonable efforts, to estimate the impacts of foreign currency fluctuations, acquisitions and certain other special items that may occur in 2023 as these items are inherently uncertain and difficult to predict. As a result, the Company is unable to quantify certain amounts that would be included in a reconciliation of organic revenue growth and adjusted segment operating margin to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures without unreasonable efforts and has not provided reconciliations for these forward looking non-GAAP financial measures.
