5 4) New Accounting Pronouncement In June of 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income", which is effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. SFAS 130 requires the disclosure of comprehensive income, which includes, in addition to net income, other comprehensive income consisting of unrealized gains and losses which bypass the traditional income statement and are recorded directly into a separate section of shareholders' equity on the balance sheet. The components of other comprehensive income for ITT Industries, Inc. consist of unrealized gains and losses relating to the translation of foreign currency financial statements, hedges of net foreign investments, and certain investment securities.

6) Subsequent Event On April 13, 1998, the Company completed the sale of its Barton fluid measurement business to Barton Instrument Systems, L.L.C., an affiliate of American Commercial Holdings, Inc. of Lexington, Kentucky. The cash proceeds from the sale were $31.4 million. The Barton unit produces process measurement instruments and systems, most notably for the oil and gas industry. It had 1997 sales of approximately $78 million, and employs 550 people at five locations in the U.S., Canada, and Great Britain. 7 Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Results of Operations Three months ended March 31, 1998 compared with three months ended March 31, 1997 Net income of $55.6 million, or $.46 per diluted share, compared with net income of $44.3 million, or $.37 per diluted share, reported in the first quarter of 1997. The increase in net income was attributable to higher earnings from all three of the Company's major businesses, the absence of losses on companies held for disposition, and the recognition of a $20.0 million pre-tax gain on the sale of the Company's Precision Die Casting (PDC) business. The previous factors more than offset higher interest expense and $20.1 million of pre-tax accruals for anticipated legal expenses and losses on the divestitures of non-core businesses. Net sales for the first quarter of 1998 declined slightly from the first quarter of 1997. The decline in sales was mainly due to the divestitures of the semiconductors unit and selected businesses of the automotive unit and unfavorable foreign exchange translation, which more than offset sales increases from the acquisitions of Goulds Pumps and Kaman Sciences and volume gains at the Automotive and Defense & Electronics units. Selling, general and administrative expenses of $215.4 million compared to $186.4 million last year. The increase from last year was primarily due to the acquisition of Goulds Pumps. Operating margin of 5.8% improved significantly from 4.8% last year due to continuing operational rationalization and cost cutting as well as the substitution of higher margin acquisitions for lower margin divestitures. Operating profit was $124.6 million in the first quarter of 1998, compared to $103.3 million last year. Interest expense for the first quarter of 1998 was $39.1 million, compared with $33.3 million in the first quarter of 1997. The increase in interest expense was due to a higher average level of debt which more than offset a lower average interest rate resulting from a debt restructuring. Interest income was $6.6 million in the current quarter, compared to $3.4 million in the prior quarter, a result of maintaining higher cash balances. The effective income tax rates for both quarters was 39%. Income tax expense increased to $35.6 million due to higher pre-tax earning. Business Segments - Unaudited sales and operating income of the Company's business segments were as follows for the three months ended March 31, 1998, and 1997 (in millions):
Three months ended Defense & Fluid Dispositions Corporate Grand March 31,1998 Automotive Electronics Technology &Other & Other Total - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net Sales $1,192.7 $473.6 $472.4 $4.8 $ - $2,143.5 Operating Income: Before non- recurring items 75.5 30.0 35.1 0.6 (16.5) 124.7 Non-recurring items 20.0 --- --- --- (20.1) (0.1) - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total operating income $ 95.5 $ 30.0 $ 35.1 $0.6 $(36.6) $ 124.6
8 [CAPTION] Three months ended Defense & Fluid Dispositions Corporate Grand March 31,1997 Automotive Electronics Technology & Other & Other Total - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net Sales $1,393.0 $409.3 $307.5 $56.8 $ --- $2,166.6 Operating Income: Before non- recurring items 74.0 25.1 23.9 (4.7) (15.0) 103.3 Non-recurring items ----- ----- ----- ----- ---- ----- - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total operating income $ 74.0 $ 25.1 $ 23.9 $(4.7) $(15.0) $ 103.3
Automotive's revenues decreased 14.4% from the prior year mainly due to divestitures and unfavorable foreign currency translation, which more than offset volume gains for the brakes and switches businesses. Operating income, excluding a non-recurring $20.0 million pre-tax gain on the sale of PDC, was up $1.5 million from the prior year, providing an improved margin of 6.3%, compared to 5.3% in the prior year. The improvement in operating margin was mainly due to continued cost reductions and the divestiture of less profitable operations, which more than offset lower prices. ITT Defense & Electronics' revenue was up 15.7% from the prior year principally due to stronger international sales and the acquisition of Kaman Sciences, now called ITT Systems & Sciences. Operating income was 19.5% higher in the 1998 period mainly due to higher volume and productivity improvements. ITT Fluid Technology's 1998 first quarter sales increased 53.6% compared to the first quarter of 1997. The improvement was primarily due to the acquisition of Goulds Pumps in May 1997, which more than offset poor market conditions in Asia, weak demand in the petrochemical and mining segments, and unfavorable foreign currency translation. Operating income increased $11.2 million primarily due to higher volumes resulting from the Goulds Pumps acquisition. Liquidity and Capital Resources Divestiture proceeds of $130.8 million and net borrowings of $39 million were used primarily for operating activities of $103.5 million, capital expenditures of $60.1 million, acquisitions of $7.9 million, dividend payments of $17.8 million and repurchases of common stock of $13.5 million. Cash Flows: Cash used for operating activities in the first quarter of 1998 was $103.5 million, a decrease of $156.7 million from the first quarter of 1997. The increase in working capital requirements in the first quarter of 1998 was largely due to the timing of the fiscal close of the quarter and the collection of a large single payment at Automotive, as well as differences in advance payments at Defense & Electronics. The increase in cash flows from the change in accrued and deferred taxes in the first quarter of 1998 is mostly due to differences in the timing of tax payments and receipts of refunds. The decrease in other, net operating activities was mainly due to prepayments for insurance and other items, and a larger reclassification of gains from asset sales, resulting primarily from the sale of PDC, to proceeds from the sale of assets. Debt and Credit Facilities: External debt at March 31, 1998 was $2.21 billion, compared with $2.18 billion at December 31,1997. Cash and cash equivalents were $160.1 million at March 31, 1998, compared to $192.2 million at year end 1997. The maximum amount of borrowing available under the Company's revolving credit agreements at March 31, 1998 was $1.5 billion. Additions to Plant, Property and Equipment: Capital expenditures during the first quarter of 1998 were $60.1 million, a decrease of $15.6 million from the first quarter of 1997. Most of the decrease was at Automotive. Acquisitions: During the first quarter of 1998, the Company acquired two small companies - one at Defense & Electronics and one at Fluid Technology. 9 Divestitures: During the first quarter of 1998, the Company had two Automotive-related divestitures - PDC and a Plant at Nuevo Laredo, Mexico, which generated most of the proceeds from the sale of assets of $130.8 million. Strategic Review On March 18, 1998, ITT Industries, Inc. announced that it was putting much of its automotive unit under strategic review. The strategic review consists of an examination of all strategic alternatives, including the possible sale of one or more major lines of business. The lines of business originally involved in this review were those involved in the engineering, manufacturing and marketing of automotive brakes, chassis modules and electrical systems in the U.S. and abroad. The automotive switch business was also added to this review. The total 1997 sales of the operations under review were approximately $4.1 billion. Proceeds from any sale would be used to finance share repurchases, pay down debt, further internal and/or external growth of core businesses, or some combination of those uses. The Company expects to announce the status of the strategic review in the summer. The strategic review does not include the automotive fluid handling, friction and shock absorber businesses.
