               ITT Industries Reports Third Quarter EPS of $1.16;
                     $0.96 Before Benefit of Special Items

     * Revenues up 11 percent, up 5 percent excluding acquisitions and foreign
       exchange
     * Defense revenues up 16 percent; robust order activity keeps backlog
       over $3 billion
     * Water/Wastewater revenue up 20 percent, organic revenue up 10 percent
     * EC meets guidance, sees increased order activity in wireless handsets
     * Company raises full year cash, revenue guidance

    WHITE PLAINS, N.Y., Oct. 23 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- ITT Industries, Inc.
(NYSE: ITT) today announced third quarter 2003 net income of $109.2 million
and diluted earnings per share of $1.16, which includes a net positive
$0.20 per share impact from special items; excluding the benefit of these
special items, third quarter 2003 adjusted earnings were $90.8 million or
$0.96 per share.  These figures compare to third quarter 2002 EPS of $1.28,
which included a net $0.34 positive impact from special items, and adjusted
earnings of $88.6 million or $0.94 per share.  The third quarter 2003 adjusted
earnings reflects a $2.2 million or $0.02 per share increase over the
comparable figure in the third quarter 2002.

    "Our performance in the third quarter was highlighted by strong organic
revenue and cash growth," said Lou Giuliano, Chairman, President, and Chief
Executive Officer of ITT Industries.  "I think this is noteworthy given the
challenges within our Electronic Components (EC) business. EC met our
expectations in the quarter, and recent increases in order activity within the
segment's mobile handset business and new product introductions give me
confidence that EC will show improvement going forward."

    "Additionally, ITT Industries' Defense segment continues its growth trend,
posting a 16 percent gain in revenues in the third quarter, with revenues up
in nearly every area.  The Fluid Technology business remains a steady growth
platform, led by the Water/Wastewater businesses' 10 percent organic revenue
growth, and the Motion & Flow Control businesses continue to perform well
despite challenging end-market conditions."

    "Our stronger than expected cash flow during the quarter enables us to
raise cash flow guidance for the full year," Giuliano said.  "We reduced our
debt during the quarter, giving us greater flexibility to invest in our
businesses and pursue acquisitions where they can enhance our competitive
position."

    Financial Highlights
     * Third quarter 2003 revenues rose 11 percent to $1.38 billion, due
       mainly to growth in Defense and Fluid Technology and the positive
       impact of foreign currency translation.  Organic revenue growth
       (excluding foreign currency translation and acquisitions) was 5 percent
       for the corporation.
     * Third quarter 2003 EPS of $1.16 includes a net $0.20 positive impact
       from special items, including a $0.21 per share positive impact from
       two tax settlements and a gain on the sale of an investment, offsetting
       a $0.01 per share charge for restructuring actions.
     * Cash from operations significantly exceeded expectations, with the
       company's year-to-date 2003 cash from operations totaling $269 million,
       which includes the impact of a voluntary $200 million contribution to
       the U.S. salaried pension plan.   Year-to-date free cash flow --
       defined as cash from operations (prior to pension contribution) minus
       capital expenditures -- was $372 million.
     * The company reduced its debt by more than $230 million during the
       quarter.
     * Growth at Fluid Technology and Defense more than offset the anticipated
       decline at EC, resulting in a 1 percent improvement in operating income
       to $152.6 million in the quarter.
     * The company continues to see the benefit from improvements implemented
       through its Value-Based Six Sigma program, with a significant impact in
       increased sales and savings over the last two years.

    "Looking ahead, we are encouraged by improvements in Electronic
Components, and continued growth in our other businesses," Giuliano said.
"Based on our reported results so far this year, and given the positive impact
of a number of special items realized during the year, we expect full-year
GAAP EPS of $4.10-$4.16, and full-year adjusted EPS of $3.82-$3.88.  Further,
we are raising our full year cash targets by $50-60 million, and we expect
full year revenues to increase 10-12 percent."

    Third Quarter Segment Highlights
    Fluid Technology
     * Third quarter 2003 FTC revenues rose 16 percent or $79.4 million to
       $564.1 million, driven by organic growth in water/wastewater,
       acquisitions and the positive impact of foreign currency translation.
       Operating income was up 15 percent or $9.4 million to $74.3 million,
       while operating margin declined 20 basis points, due to charges for
       restructuring.
     * The water/wastewater business continues its growth trend, with revenues
       up 20 percent and orders up 17 percent, following a strategy of taking
       products into new markets.  Excluding acquisitions and currency
       translation, the revenue growth for water and wastewater was 10 percent
       for the quarter. The business secured three $1 million orders for
       wastewater pumps and services, two in China and one in France.
     * The segment's Sanitaire filtration division received $12 million in
       system and installation orders from the United Arab Emirates for
       desalinization plant projects during the quarter.
     * Improved orders for custom industrial pumps in the Middle East and
       Asia-Pacific contributed to a 10 percent increase in revenue in this
       business, more than offsetting continued softness in the chemical and
       pulp/paper markets.

    Defense Electronics & Services
     * Revenues for Defense Electronics & Services were $445.9 million in the
       third quarter, up 16 percent or $62.4 million over the third quarter
       2002, on higher international sales of radars, services and secure
       communication systems.  Operating income rose 19 percent or
       $7.6 million to $48.1 million, and operating margin increased 20 basis
       points.
     * The company's Systems and Advanced Engineering & Sciences units
       continue to gain new service contracts, contributing to an overall
       Defense backlog of $3.02 billion at the end of the third quarter.
     * The company's Advanced Engineering & Sciences division has won several
       multi-year contracts totaling more than $450 million to provide
       engineering and IT service support for a broad range of government
       agencies, including a contract to analyze ways to safeguard U.S.
       interests from chemical, biological and radiological weapons.
     * The company sees continued growth opportunities in its service
       businesses, in addition to defense spending.  Contracts won during the
       third quarter include a $274 million initial 5-year contract to provide
       technical support for NASA's Deep Space Network program, with options
       for an additional 5 years worth up to $306 million, bringing the total
       potential value to $580 million over ten years.

    Motion & Flow Control
     * Third quarter MFC revenues increased 1 percent or $2.6 million to
       $223 million, due to the positive impact of foreign currency
       translation.  Operating income declined $1 million to $28.7 million and
       operating margin declined 60 basis points, due primarily to charges
       related to restructuring.
     * ITT's automotive tubing business felt the effects of a slowdown in the
       North American auto build rate and platform losses during the quarter.
       This decline was partially offset by market share gains at the
       company's Motion Control business.
     * The company's marine businesses realized a 6 percent revenue increase
       in the quarter, with more than 30 percent of revenues coming from new
       products.

    Electronic Components
     * EC revenues declined 2 percent or $3.4 million in the quarter to
       $143.8 million, with growth in the transportation and consumer
       businesses, acquisitions and the positive impact of foreign currency
       translation more than offset by continued weakness in the
       telecommunications and commercial aerospace markets.  Operating income
       fell $14.9 million to $1.5 million, with a corresponding decline in
       margin, attributable to unfavorable changes in product mix, ongoing
       price pressures and manufacturing transition costs.
     * EC's book-to-bill ratio strengthened to 1.02 in the third quarter, its
       highest level since the first quarter 2002.
     * The company's keypad and dome array businesses are gaining momentum
       securing orders for new products on wireless handset models produced by
       Motorola, Nokia, Siemens and a number of Chinese domestic producers.
     * New products developed during the year are now in the marketplace.  A
       new universal contact has been designed into products at Motorola,
       Sagem, Alcatel and Volvo.   The company's photonic high-speed
       connector, originally designed for the communications market, is being
       adapted for defense applications, with orders from Boeing, Raytheon,
       Northrup and Harris.

    NOTE:  ITT Industries believes that investors' understanding of the
company's operating performance is enhanced by the use of certain non-GAAP
financial measures, including adjusted GAAP net income and adjusted GAAP EPS,
which Management considers useful in providing insight into operating
performance, as it excludes the impact of special items that cannot be
expected to recur on a quarterly basis.  Management also believes that
investors can better analyze the company's revenue growth by utilizing an
organic revenue growth measure that excludes the effect of foreign exchange
translation and the effect of recent acquisitions.  In addition, Management
considers the use of free cash flow to be an important indication of the
company's ability to make acquisitions, fund pension obligations, buy back
outstanding shares and service debt.  Free cash flow, adjusted net income,
adjusted EPS and organic revenue are not financial measures under GAAP, should
not be considered as substitutes for cash from operating activities, EPS, net
income or revenue as defined by GAAP, and may not be comparable to similarly
titled measures reported by other companies.    A reconciliation to the GAAP
equivalents of these non-GAAP measures is set forth in the attached unaudited
financial information.
