NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(DOLLARS AND SHARE AMOUNTS IN MILLIONS, UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED)
NOTE 1
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Description of Business
ITT Corporation is a diversified manufacturer of highly engineered critical components and customized technology solutions for the energy, transportation, and industrial markets. Unless the context otherwise indicates, references herein to “ITT,” “the Company,” and such words as “we,” “us,” and “our” include ITT Corporation and its subsidiaries. ITT operates through four segments: Industrial Process, consisting of industrial pumping and complementary equipment; Motion Technologies, consisting of friction and shock & vibration equipment; Interconnect Solutions, consisting of electronic connectors; and Control Technologies, consisting of fluid handling, motion control and vibration and shock isolation products. Financial information for our segments is presented in Note 17, “Segment Information.”
Basis of Presentation
The unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such SEC rules. We believe that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. We consistently applied the accounting policies described in ITT's 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K (2013 Annual Report) in preparing these unaudited financial statements. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in our 2013 Annual Report.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates are revised as additional information becomes available. Estimates and assumptions are used for, but not limited to, asbestos-related liabilities and recoveries from insurers, revenue recognition, unrecognized tax benefits, deferred tax valuation allowances, projected benefit obligations for postretirement plans, accounting for business combinations, goodwill and other intangible asset impairment testing, environmental liabilities and recoveries from insurers, allowance for doubtful accounts and inventory valuation. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
ITT's quarterly financial periods end on the Saturday closest to the last day of the calendar quarter, except for the last quarterly period of the fiscal year, which ends on December 31st. For ease of presentation, the quarterly financial statements included herein are described as ending on the last day of the calendar quarter.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Due to an increase in the number and size of complex long-term industrial pump design and build contracts, an update to the revenue recognition accounting policy disclosed in the 2013 Annual Report is provided below:
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue for certain long-term design and build projects using the percentage-of-completion method, based upon the percentage of costs incurred to total projected costs. Revenue and profit recognized under the percentage-of-completion method are based on management’s estimates. Amounts invoiced to customers in excess of revenue recognized are recorded as deferred revenue, until the revenue recognition criteria are satisfied. Revenue that is earned and recognized in excess of amounts invoiced is recorded as a component of receivables, net. During the performance of long-term sales contracts, estimated final contract prices and costs are reviewed periodically and revisions are made as required and recorded in income in the period in which they are determined. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted long-term sales contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined and are recorded as a component of costs of revenue.

NOTE 2
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued guidance eliminating diversity in practice surrounding the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. The new guidance requires entities to net an unrecognized tax benefit with a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward if the carryforward would be used to settle additional tax due upon disallowance of a tax position. The adoption of this amendment on January 1, 2014 did not have a material effect on ITT's financial statements.
In March 2013, the FASB clarified that, when a reporting entity (parent) ceases to have a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets that is a business within a foreign entity, the parent is required to release any related cumulative translation adjustment into net income. The cumulative translation adjustment should be released into net income only if the sale or transfer results in the complete or substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity in which the subsidiary or group of assets had resided. The FASB also clarified that if a business combination is achieved in stages related to a previously held equity method investment (step-acquisition) that is a foreign entity, the amount of accumulated other comprehensive income that is reclassified and included in the calculation of gain or loss as of the acquisition date shall include any foreign currency translation adjustment related to that previously held investment. The adoption of these amendments on January 1, 2014 did not have a material impact to ITT's financial statements.
In February 2013, the FASB issued guidance requiring an entity to measure obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation is fixed at the reporting date as the amount the entity agreed to pay for the arrangement between them and the other entities that are also obligated to the liability and any additional amount the entity expects to pay on behalf of the other entities. The adoption of this guidance on January 1, 2014 did not have a material impact to ITT's financial statements.
Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In April 2014, the FASB issued guidance that raises the threshold for a disposal to qualify as a discontinued operation and requires new disclosures of both discontinued operations and other disposals that do not meet the definition of a discontinued operations. The new guidance defines a discontinued operation as a disposal of a component or group of components that is disposed of or is classified as held for sale and represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity's operations and financial results. The new guidance is effective on January 1, 2015, with early adoption permitted. While we do not expect a material impact on ITT’s financial statements upon adoption, the effects on future periods will depend upon the nature and significance of future disposals.

The costs incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2014 of $14.4 primarily relate to employee severance for approximately 250 planned headcount reductions associated with an action to move certain production lines from one location to another existing lower cost manufacturing site. We expect to incur further restructuring costs of approximately $5.0 over the next twelve months related to this action. The costs incurred during the three months ending March 31, 2013 of $4.4 primarily related to 63 headcount reductions across our global operating locations. To date, we have incurred $32.5 under the ICS turnaround plan. The following table provides a rollforward of the restructuring accrual associated with the ICS turnaround activities.

NOTE 4
INCOME TAXES
For the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company recognized income tax expense of $13.0 representing an effective tax rate of 27.5% compared to income tax expense of $15.0, and an effective tax rate of 43.5%, for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The tax rate for 2014 is lower than the prior year due to the absence of a valuation allowance that was recorded in 2013 against U.S. deferred tax assets as well as an increase in income during 2014 that is eligible for the tax holiday in Korea.
The Company's tax expense for three months ended March 31, 2014 reflects the impact of changes in the New York State income tax law enacted on March 31, 2014. The Company is eligible for a tax rate of 0% as a qualified New York manufacturer. The application of the newly enacted tax rate to existing net deferred tax assets resulted in an increase in tax expense of $1.9 million.
The Company operates in various tax jurisdictions and is subject to examination by tax authorities in these jurisdictions. The Company is currently under examination in several jurisdictions including Germany, Italy, Korea, the United Kingdom and the U.S. The settlement of an examination could result in changes in amounts attributable to us through the Tax Matters Agreement entered into with Exelis, Inc. and Xylem, Inc. Over the next twelve months, the net amount of the tax liability for unrecognized tax benefits in foreign and domestic jurisdictions could change by approximately $87.0 million due to changes in audit status, expiration of statutes of limitations and other events.

During the fourth quarter of 2013, management approved changes to certain of our defined benefit pension and postretirement plans, including the merging of plans and the elimination of future benefit accruals for plan participants as of December 31, 2013.
During the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, we made contributions to our global postretirement plans of $2.1 and $2.6, respectively. We do not expect to make material contributions to our global pension plans during the remainder of 2014.
During the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, we amortized $0.6 and $3.8, net of tax, respectively, from accumulated other comprehensive income into earnings related to prior service cost and net actuarial loss. No other reclassifications from accumulated other comprehensive income into earnings were recognized during the presented periods.
NOTE 14
LONG-TERM INCENTIVE EMPLOYEE COMPENSATION
Our long-term incentive plan (LTIP) is comprised of three components: non-qualified stock options (NQOs), restricted stock units (RSUs), and performance units (PSUs). The majority of RSUs settle in shares; however RSUs granted to international employees settle in cash. The PSU awards are accounted for as two distinct awards based on both a relative total shareholder return (TSR) metric component and a return on invested capital (ROIC) metric component. Each component is equally weighted and settled in shares dependent upon the performance achieved following a three-year performance period. TSR awards granted prior to 2013 settle in cash.
LTIP costs are primarily recorded within general and administrative expenses, and are reduced by an estimated forfeiture rate. The following table provides the components of these costs for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.

At March 31, 2014, there was $29.8 of estimated unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested equity-based awards that is expected to be recognized ratably over a weighted-average period of 2.5 years. Total estimated unrecognized compensation cost projected to be incurred for unvested liability-based awards as of March 31, 2014 was $4.3; this is expected to be recognized ratably over a weighted-average period of 1.9 years.

Year-to-Date 2014 LTIP Activity
The majority of our LTIP activity occurs during the first quarter of each year. On March 4, 2014, we granted the following LTIP awards as provided in the table below:

The NQOs vest either on the completion of a three-year service period or annually in three equal installments, as determined by employee level, and have a ten-year expiration period. RSUs, TSR awards, and ROIC awards vest on the completion of a three-year service period.
During the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, 0.5 and 0.8 stock options were exercised resulting in proceeds of $9.0 and $14.0, respectively, and restrictions on 0.3 and 0.3 shares of restricted stock units vested and were issued, respectively.
The fair value of each NQO grant was estimated on the date of grant using a binomial lattice pricing model that incorporates multiple and variable assumptions over time, including assumptions such as employee exercise patterns, stock price volatility and changes in dividends. The following table details the weighted average assumptions used to measure fair value and the resulting grant date fair value for the March 4, 2014 NQO grants.

Expected volatility for NQOs granted during 2014 were determined using a combination of ITT's implied volatility and the average historical volatility over a ten year period for a peer group of companies that most closely align to ITT. Historical data is used to estimate option exercise and employee termination behavior within the valuation model. Option characteristics, such as vesting terms, are considered separately for valuation purposes. The expected life represents an estimate of the period of time options are expected to remain outstanding. The expected life provided above represents the weighted average of options granted with differing vesting terms. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of option grant.
The fair value of RSUs corresponds to the closing price of ITT common stock on the date of grant.
The fair value of the ROIC awards was based on the closing price of ITT common stock on the date of grant less the present value of expected dividend payments during the vesting period. A dividend yield of 1.0% was assumed based on ITT's annualized dividend payment of $0.44 per share and the March 4, 2014 closing stock price of $43.52. The fair value of the ROIC award is fixed on the grant date; however, a probability assessment is performed each reporting period to estimate the likelihood of achieving the ROIC targets and the amount of compensation to be recognized. The ROIC award payout is subject to a payout factor which includes a maximum and minimum payout.
The fair value of the TSR award was measured using a Monte Carlo simulation, measuring potential total shareholder return for ITT relative to the other companies in the S&P 400 Capital Goods Index (the TSR Performance Group). The expected volatility of ITT's stock price was based on the historical volatility of a peer group while expected volatility for the other companies in the TSR Performance Group was based on their own stock price history. All volatility and correlation measures were based on three years of daily historical price data through March 4, 2014, corresponding to the three-year performance period of the award. The TSR award payout is subject to a multiplier which includes a maximum and minimum payout. As the grant date occurred after the beginning of the performance period, actual TSR performance between the beginning of the performance period (December 2013 average closing stock price) and the grant date was reflected in the valuation. A dividend yield of 1.0% was assumed based on ITT's annualized dividend payment of $0.44 per share and the March 4, 2014 closing stock price of $43.52.

12


The fair value of TSR awards granted prior to 2013 is remeasured on a quarterly basis and corresponds to ITT's total shareholder return as compared to the total shareholder return of companies within the S&P 400 Capital Goods Index, subject to a multiplier which includes a maximum and minimum payout. The relative performance ranking calculated is adjusted to reflect expected volatility over the remaining term of the award using a Monte Carlo simulation.
NOTE 15
CAPITAL STOCK
On October 27, 2006, a three-year $1 billion share repurchase program was approved by our Board of Directors. On December 16, 2008, the provisions of the share repurchase program were modified by our Board of Directors to replace the original three-year term with an indefinite term. We repurchased 1.7 shares of common stock for $45.6 during the three months ended March 31, 2013. We did not repurchase any shares under the 2006 Share Repurchase Program during three months ended March 31, 2014. To date, under the 2006 Share Repurchase Program, the Company has repurchased 15.3 shares for $629.3.
Separate from the 2006 Share Repurchase Program, the Company repurchased 0.1 shares and 0.1 shares for an aggregate price of $4.8 and $2.6, during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, in settlement of employee tax withholding obligations due upon the vesting of restricted stock units.
NOTE 16
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
From time to time, we are involved in legal proceedings that are incidental to the operation of our businesses. Some of these proceedings allege damages relating to environmental exposures, intellectual property matters, copyright infringement, personal injury claims, employment and employee benefit matters, government contract issues and commercial or contractual disputes and acquisitions or divestitures. We will continue to aggressively defend all such claims. Although the ultimate outcome of any legal matter cannot be predicted with certainty, based on present information including our assessment of the merits of the particular claim, as well as our current reserves and insurance coverage, we do not expect that such legal proceedings will have a material adverse impact on our financial statements, unless otherwise noted below.
Asbestos Matters
Background
ITT, including its subsidiary Goulds Pumps, Inc., has been joined as a defendant with numerous other companies in product liability lawsuits alleging personal injury due to asbestos exposure. These claims generally allege that certain products sold by us or our former subsidiaries prior to 1985 contained a part manufactured by a third party (e.g., a gasket) which contained asbestos. To the extent these third-party parts may have contained asbestos, it was encapsulated in the gasket (or other) material and was non-friable.
As of March 31, 2014, there were approximately 51 thousand pending active claims against ITT, including Goulds Pumps, filed in various state and federal courts alleging injury as a result of exposure to asbestos. Activity related to these asserted asbestos claims during the period was as follows:

(a)
The 2013 dismissals reported in the table above include the dismissal of approximately 4 thousand claims that were considered pending inactive claims. No pending inactive claims were dismissed during the first quarter of 2014. Inactive claims represent pending claims in Mississippi filed prior to 2004, which have been excluded from our asbestos measurement because the plaintiffs cannot demonstrate a significant compensable loss. As such, management believes these claims have little-to-no value.

13


Frequently, plaintiffs are unable to identify any ITT or Goulds Pumps product as a source of asbestos exposure. Our experience to date is that a majority of resolved claims are dismissed without any payment from the Company. Management believes that a large majority of the pending claims have little or no value. In addition, because claims are sometimes dismissed in large groups, the average cost per resolved claim can fluctuate significantly from period to period. ITT expects more asbestos-related suits will be filed in the future, and ITT will continue to aggressively defend or seek a reasonable resolution, as appropriate.
Asbestos litigation is a unique form of litigation. Frequently, the plaintiff sues a large number of defendants and does not state a specific claim amount. After filing of the complaint, the plaintiff engages defendants in settlement negotiations to establish a settlement value based on certain criteria, including the number of defendants in the case. Rarely do the plaintiffs seek to collect all damages from one defendant. Rather, they seek to spread the liability, and thus the payments, among many defendants. As a result, the Company is unable to estimate the maximum potential exposure to pending claims and claims estimated to be filed over the next 10 years.
Estimating our exposure to pending asbestos claims and those that may be filed in the future is subject to significant uncertainty and risk as there are multiple variables that can affect the timing, severity, quality, quantity and resolution of claims. Any predictions with respect to the variables impacting the estimate of the asbestos liability and related asset are subject to even greater uncertainty as the projection period lengthens. In light of the uncertainties and variables inherent in the long-term projection of the Company's asbestos exposures, although it is probable that the Company will incur additional costs for asbestos claims filed beyond the next 10 years which could be material to the financial statements, we do not believe there is a reasonable basis for estimating those costs at this time.
The asbestos liability and related receivables reflect management's best estimate of future events. However, future events affecting the key factors and other variables for either the asbestos liability or the related receivables could cause actual costs or recoveries to be materially higher or lower than currently estimated. Due to these uncertainties, as well as our inability to reasonably estimate any additional asbestos liability for claims which may be filed beyond the next 10 years, it is not possible to predict the ultimate cost of resolving all pending and unasserted asbestos claims. We believe it is possible that future events affecting the key factors and other variables within the next 10 years, as well as the cost of asbestos claims filed beyond the next 10 years, net of expected recoveries, could have a material adverse effect on our financial statements.
Income Statement Charges
In the third quarter of each year, we conduct our annual asbestos measurement with the assistance of outside consultants to review and update the underlying assumptions used in our asbestos liability and related asset estimates. In each remeasurement, the underlying assumptions are updated based on our actual experience since our previous annual remeasurement and we reassess the appropriate reference period used in determining each assumption and our expectations regarding future conditions, including inflation. As part of our ongoing review of our net asbestos exposure, each quarter we assess the most recent qualitative and quantitative data available for the key inputs and assumptions, comparing the data to the expectations on which the most recent annual liability and asset estimates were based. Based on this evaluation, the Company determined that no change in the estimate was warranted for the period ended March 31, 2014 other than the incremental accrual to maintain a rolling 10-year forecast period. The net asbestos charge for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was $15.8 and $16.0, respectively.
Changes in Financial Position
The Company's estimated asbestos exposure, net of expected recoveries, for the resolution of all pending claims and claims estimated to be filed in the next 10 years was $760.2 and $746.9 as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The following table provides a rollforward of the estimated asbestos liability and related assets for the three months ended March 31, 2014.

Environmental
In the ordinary course of business, we are subject to federal, state, local, and foreign environmental laws and regulations. We are responsible, or are alleged to be responsible, for ongoing environmental investigation and site remediation. These sites are in various stages of investigation and/or remediation and in many of these proceedings our liability is considered de minimis. We have received notification from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and from similar state and foreign environmental agencies, that a number of sites formerly or currently owned and/or operated by ITT, and other properties or water supplies that may be or have been impacted from those operations, contain disposed or recycled materials or wastes and require environmental investigation and/or remediation. These sites include instances where we have been identified as a potentially responsible party under federal and state environmental laws and regulations.
The following table provides a rollforward of the estimated environmental liability and related assets for the three months ended March 31, 2014.

As actual costs incurred at identified sites in future periods may vary from our current estimates given the inherent uncertainties in evaluating environmental exposures, management believes it is possible that the outcome of these uncertainties may have a material adverse effect on our financial statements.
Other Matters
The Company is involved in coverage litigation with various insurers seeking recovery of costs incurred in connection with certain environmental and product liabilities. In a suit filed in 1991, ITT Corporation, et al. v. Pacific Employers Insurance Company et al, Sup. Ct., Los Angeles County, we are seeking recovery of costs related to property damage losses due to environmental issues. Discovery, procedural matters, changes in California law, and various appeals have prolonged this case. The Company continues to seek appropriate resolution with the various defendants in the case.
On February 13, 2003, we commenced an action, Cannon Electric, Inc. v. Affiliated FM Ins. Co., Sup. Ct., Los Angeles County, seeking recovery of costs from the same coverage referenced above but related to asbestos product liability losses. During this coverage litigation, we entered into coverage-in-place settlement agreements with ACE, Wausau and Utica Mutual dated April 2004, September 2004, and February 2007, respectively. These agreements provide specific coverage for the Company’s legacy asbestos liabilities. In the first quarter of 2012, Goulds Pumps resolved its claims against Fireman’s Fund and Continental Casualty. In January 2012, ITT and Goulds Pumps filed a putative class action suit in federal court in Connecticut against Travelers Casualty and Surety Company (ITT Corporation and Goulds Pumps Inc., v. Travelers Casualty and Surety Company (f/k/a Aetna Casualty and Surety Company), (Fed Dist Ct, D. Conn., CA NO.3:12-cv-00038-RN)), alleging that Travelers is unilaterally reinterpreting language contained in older Aetna policies so as to avoid paying on asbestos claims. This action was stayed pending a decision by the Superior Court of Los Angeles County in the Cannon action on interpretation of policy language. On January 29, 2014, the Superior Court issued its opinion upholding the Goulds Pumps’ claims that it is entitled to receive reimbursement from Traveler’s for asbestos claims. The Connecticut Court has now lifted the Stay and allowed the case to proceed. In 2013, the Company finalized a settlement with its insurer PEIC that resolves all outstanding issues between the Company and PEIC related to the primary policies issued by PEIC during the period from 1977 to 1985. PEIC has agreed to make structured payments overtime to

15


a Qualified Settlement Fund (QSF) to be used for asbestos related costs. The Company continues to engage other defendants in settlement negotiations as appropriate.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(In millions, except per share amounts, unless otherwise stated)
OVERVIEW
ITT Corporation is a diversified manufacturer of highly engineered critical components and customized technology solutions for growing industrial markets. Building on its heritage of innovation, ITT partners with its customers to deliver enduring solutions to the key industries that underpin our modern way of life. We manufacture key components that are integral to the operation of systems and manufacturing processes in the energy, transportation and industrial markets. Our products provide enabling functionality for applications where reliability and performance are critically important to our customers and the users of their products.
Our businesses share a common, repeatable operating model. Each business applies technology and engineering expertise to solve our customer’s most pressing challenges. Our applied engineering aptitude provides a superior business fit with our customers given the critical nature of their applications. This in turn provides us with a unique insight to our customer’s requirements and enables us to develop solutions to assist our customers achieve their business goals. Our technology and customer intimacy in tandem produce opportunities to capture recurring revenue streams, aftermarket opportunities, and long lived original equipment manufacturer (OEM) platforms.
Our product and service offerings are organized into four segments: Industrial Process, Motion Technologies, Interconnect Solutions, and Control Technologies. These businesses generally operate within niche positions in large, attractive markets where specialized engineered solutions are required to support the needs of large industrial, transportation, and energy customers.
Industrial Process manufactures engineered fluid process equipment serving a diversified mix of customers in global infrastructure industries such as oil & gas, mining, power generation, chemical and other process markets and is a provider of plant optimization and efficiency solutions and aftermarket services and parts.
Motion Technologies manufactures brake pads, shock absorbers and damping technologies for the global automotive, truck, trailer and public bus and rail transportation markets.
Interconnect Solutions manufactures a wide range of highly specialized connector products that make it possible to transfer signal and power in various electronic devices that are utilized in the aerospace and defense, industrial and transportation, oil & gas markets, and medical markets.
Control Technologies manufactures specialized equipment, including actuation, valves, switches, vibration isolation, custom-energy absorption, and regulators for the aerospace and defense, and industrial markets.
Executive Summary
During the first quarter of 2014, we delivered revenue growth of 10.9% primarily driven by global chemical and oil & gas project growth in industrial pumps, auto brake pad market share gains and aftermarket expansion, and market share gains across our core connector end markets. Revenue for 2014 includes 15% growth in emerging markets as well as favorable timing for certain large, long-term industrial projects. Total ITT orders expanded 2.4% as strength from global auto brake pad and connector growth were partially offset by lower industrial pump mining orders.
Consolidated operating income was $48.3 for the quarter, representing a $11.1 or 29.8% increase from the prior year, due to segment operating income of $77.0, reflecting growth of $8.4 from the prior year. Adjusted segment operating income increased $15.0, or 19.3%, over the prior year and reflects a 90 basis point improvement in adjusted segment operating margin driven by increased volumes across each of our segments, strong net operational productivity and the benefits from initiatives at our Interconnect Solutions segment and Koni division. See the “Key Performance Indicators and Non-GAAP Measures” section included within Management's Discussion and Analysis for a reconciliation of the adjusted non-GAAP measures.
Income from continuing operations attributable to ITT Corporation during the first quarter of 2014 was $33.2 or $0.36 per diluted share, reflecting an increase of $0.16 per diluted share from the prior year. Adjusted income from continuing operations, a non-GAAP measure, was $57.4, or $0.62 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2014,

17


reflecting an increase of $13.2, or 29.9%, driven by higher segment operating income and a lower effective tax rate.
Our capital deployment during the first quarter of 2014, was organic in nature and focused on rebalancing and expanding our global auto brake pad production capacity, expanding our oil & gas Western Hemisphere Center of Excellence facility in Seneca Falls, advancing our Lean transformation, and growing our aftermarket business. These targeted investments continue to help us build on our already strong foundation and will drive our long-term organic growth.
Also during the quarter we took restructuring actions totaling $15.3, largely at Interconnect Solutions, related to headcount reductions associated with the movement of certain production lines to an existing facility in a lower cost region. This action is a continuation of our on-going turnaround of our Interconnect Solutions business, and will provide long-term benefits for the business.
We continue to make progress in providing a differentiated experience for our customers, which is key to our long-term success. An example of this progression is at Control Technologies, where we have put more emphasis on working directly with customers to provide differentiated solutions. As a result of this strategy, Control Technologies just celebrated it's fourth consecutive quarter of order growth in the general industrial market.
During the first quarter of 2014, our focus on the premier customer experience drove wins on key strategic contracts including:
n
$42 in large, long-term oil & gas and chemical project wins
n
Key auto brake pad platforms in Europe, China, and North America
n
First global Japanese OEM automotive platform win and second North American win
n
$9 in multi-year aerospace agreements
n
Key wins across all major connector geographies and strategic end markets
Further details related to these results are contained in the Discussion of Financial Results section.

Industrial Process
Industrial Process revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2014 increased $28.7, or 11.2%, primarily due to growth within the chemical market of 35%, oil & gas market of 17%, and mining market of 25% mainly related to project pump business in North America and Latin America. Additionally, in North America, we experienced growth in valve sales offset by softness in base pumps, parts and service. The growth in these areas during 2014 was partially offset by year-over-year sales weakness in the North American power process pumps. Our first quarter 2014 revenue includes $21.7 related to timing of certain large, long-term industrial pump projects mainly in North America and Europe.
Orders for the three months ended March 31, 2014 declined $16.6, or 5.3%, to $296.9 reflecting a book to bill ratio of 104%. The order decline primarily reflected lower project business activity in the Latin American and Middle East regions due primarily to the timing of order releases. Orders declined slightly in North America primarily attributable to a large mining order in the prior year that was not repeated and a harsh winter season that impacted our base business during January and February. The base business is expected to improve modestly through the remainder of 2014. Healthy order activity in Europe and Asia, led by a few significant project pump wins in Russia and China partially offset the decline in other regions. Backlog as of March 31, 2014 was $691.6 reflecting an increase of $9.9 or 1.5% over December 31, 2013.
Growth in emerging markets, including Russia and Venezuela, is an important component of ITT’s growth strategy. To date, we have not experienced any significant disruptions, although we continue to closely monitor developments given the instability in the current political environments. The continuation or escalation of the current geopolitical instability in these regions could negatively impact our revenue and future growth prospects.
Motion Technologies
Motion Technologies revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2014 increased $24.6, or 12.7%, reflecting approximately 10% growth in Friction Technologies and 20% growth in Koni, partially offset by unfavorable year-over-year Original Equipment (OE) pricing. Growth in Friction came from both the aftermarket and OE channels. Aftermarket benefited from a new production line as well as improved production press efficiency rates coming from specific Lean initiatives to meet increased demand. The year-over-year increase in OE was driven by growth in China which corresponds with our investments and strategic focus to gain market share in the Asia Pacific region. Growth in Koni came from strength in each of the product groups, however railway provided the largest sales growth mainly stemming from Western Europe and North America.
Orders for the three months ended March 31, 2014 increased $28.1, or 14.3%, primarily driven by strength in China from OE as well as from the aftermarket channel in Europe. We also won placement on a number of significant auto and train platforms, including new business in North America. In addition, Koni had a book-to-bill ratio of 107% during the first quarter of 2014 stemming from strength in each of its business groups.
Interconnect Solutions
Interconnect Solutions revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2014 increased by $9.2, or 10.1%, resulting from growth in each core market. Growth in the aerospace and defense market of 10.5% was driven by an increase in build rates from commercial airline manufacturers and sales related to the modernization of defense equipment. Sales to the industrial and transportation market provided an increase of 13.2% primarily due to growth in the Asian rail markets, electric vehicle connectors in Europe and Asia, and in heavy equipment stemming from agriculture and construction applications. We experienced revenue growth of 12.4% in the oil & gas market primarily reflecting increased demand in Canada and the U.S. In addition, we experienced growth of 16.7% in the medical device market. Growth during the quarter was partially offset by a decline in the communications market.

20


Control Technologies
Control Technologies revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2014 increased by $4.3 or 6.3% as compared to the prior year driven by growth of 7% and 4% in our CT Aerospace and CT Industrial divisions, respectively. The aerospace growth was due to higher commercial OE of approximately 30% due to increased production rates and growth in aftermarket spares of approximately 20%. These gains were partially offset by a $4.4 decline in revenue from defense applications, an aerospace aftermarket program that is nearing its end of life in 2014, and lower year-over-year sales from our Enivate product line. The industrial growth was due to gains in energy absorption products driven by strong demand from our European distribution network and from higher sales of natural gas valves due to the continued conversion of commercial vehicles to a natural gas fuel source.
GROSS PROFIT
Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was $214.8 an increase of $24.3 reflecting growth at each of our business segments stemming primarily from increased sales volume which provided a benefit of approximately $22.2.

We estimate that restructuring actions taken during the quarter will yield approximately $15 in annual net savings (see Note 3, "Restructuring Actions," in our Notes to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for additional information on this restructuring initiative).
R&D costs increased 7.9% year-over-year, as we continued to invest in new product developments in targeted growth markets at each segment.
During the first quarter of 2014, we recognized net asbestos related costs of $15.8, which is consistent with the prior year costs. These costs primarily reflect the recognition of incremental asbestos liabilities and related asbestos assets to maintain our rolling 10-year projection of unasserted claims. See Note 16, “Commitments and Contingencies,” in our Notes to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for further information on our asbestos-related liabilities and assets.
OPERATING INCOME
Operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2014 increased $11.1 reflecting an operating margin growth of 110 basis points. The following table illustrates the 2014 and 2013 operating income results of our segments, including operating margin results.

Industrial Process
Industrial Process operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2014 increased $1.8, or 8.0%, as increased sales volume of $7.9 was partially offset by a $6.3 unfavorable shift in sales mix from our higher margin North American base pump business to the engineered project pump business which is operating in a challenging project pricing environment. In addition, the first quarter of 2014 benefited from net savings from lean and sourcing initiatives as well as lower amortization of backlog intangible assets from the Bornemann acquisition. The favorability of these items was offset by an increase in strategic growth investment costs primarily related to emerging market expansion and Lean initiatives and unfavorable year-over-year fluctuations in customer-related liabilities and corporate allocations. The impact of these items resulted in a 30 basis point decline to operating margin.
Motion Technologies
Motion Technologies operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2014 increased $7.2, or 21.8%, resulting in a 140 basis point improvement in operating margin. Sales volume growth, coupled with favorable product mix from a heavy weighting of aftermarket sales, and continued improvement in our manufacturing press efficiency rate, were the primary drivers of the operating income and margin growth. In addition, Koni had a year-over-year operating margin improvement of 760 basis points during the quarter due to strong volume growth, fixed

22


cost reductions, and manufacturing improvements. The favorability of these items was partially offset by OE pricing negotiations, as well as higher costs related to the capacity expansion and maintenance activities.
Interconnect Solutions
Interconnect Solutions operating income decreased $1.7 for the three months ended March 31, 2014, resulting in operating loss of $3.0 and a 160 basis point decline in operating margin. The decrease in operating income and operating margin was due to $14.4 of restructuring costs during the first quarter of 2014, a $10.0 increase over the prior year. Excluding the costs associated with our restructuring initiative, operating income increased $8.3, reflecting a 800 basis point improvement to operating margin. This improvement was driven by higher sales volumes, a favorable change in sales mix, savings from previous reduction in force restructuring actions, and lower postretirement employee benefit costs due to modifications made to one of the segment's plans during the fourth quarter of 2013.
Control Technologies
Control Technologies operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2014 increased $1.1, reflecting a 30 basis point improvement in operating margin, as benefits from increased volume and pricing initiatives of approximately $2.5 were partially offset by unfavorable sales mix. In addition, net savings from lean and sourcing initiatives of approximately $1.0 were offset by higher year-over-year strategic investment related costs.
Other Corporate Costs
Other corporate costs decreased $2.5 during the three months ended March 31, 2014 primarily due to lower transformation and repositioning costs of $1.6, lower compensation and benefit-related costs of $2.2, and a reduction in environmental expenses of $0.9. These items were partially offset by an increase in corporate HR and other department initiative expenses of $1.8 and an unfavorable year-over-year variance on corporate-owned life insurance values of $1.1.
INCOME TAX EXPENSE
For the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company recognized an income tax expense of $13.0, representing an effective tax rate of 27.5% compared to an income tax expense of $15.0, and an effective tax rate of 43.5%, for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The tax rate for 2014 is lower than the prior year due to the absence of a valuation allowance that was recorded in 2013 against U.S. deferred tax assets as well as an increase in income during 2014 that is eligible for the tax holiday in Korea.
The Company's tax expense for three months ended March 31, 2014 reflects the impact of changes in the New York State income tax law enacted on March 31, 2014. The Company is eligible for a tax rate of 0% as a qualified New York manufacturer. The application of the newly enacted tax rate to existing net deferred tax assets resulted in an increase in tax expense of $1.9 million.
LIQUIDITY
Funding and Liquidity Strategy
Our funding needs are monitored and strategies are executed to meet overall liquidity requirements, including the management of our capital structure on both a short- and long-term basis. We expect to fund our ongoing working capital, dividends, capital expenditures and financing requirements through cash flows from operations and cash on hand or by accessing the commercial paper market. If our access to the commercial paper market were adversely affected, we believe that alternative sources of liquidity, including our 2011 Revolving Credit Agreement, described below, would be sufficient to meet our short-term funding requirements.
We manage our worldwide cash requirements considering available funds among the many subsidiaries through which we conduct business and the cost effectiveness with which those funds can be accessed. We have identified and continue to look for opportunities to access cash balances in excess of local operating requirements to meet global liquidity needs in a cost-efficient manner. A majority of our cash and cash equivalents is held by our international subsidiaries. We have and plan to transfer cash between certain international subsidiaries and the U.S. and other international subsidiaries when it is cost effective to do so. Our intent is generally to indefinitely reinvest these funds outside of the U.S. consistent with our overall intention to support growth and expand in markets outside the U.S. through the development of products, increase non-U.S. capital spending, and potentially acquire foreign businesses. However, we have determined that certain undistributed foreign earnings generated in Luxembourg, Japan, Hong Kong, and South Korea should not be considered permanently reinvested outside

23


of the U.S. No cash distributions from foreign countries occurred during the first quarter of 2014 or 2013. The timing and amount of future remittances, if any, remains under evaluation.
The amount and timing of dividends payable on our common stock are within the sole discretion of our Board of Directors and will be based on, and affected by, a number of factors, including our financial position and results of operations, available cash, expected capital spending plans, prevailing business conditions, and other factors the Board deems relevant. Therefore, there can be no assurance as to what level of dividends, if any, will be paid in the future. In the first quarter of 2014, we declared a dividend of $0.11 per share for shareholders of record on March 14, 2014 which was paid on April 1, 2014. The first quarter dividend declared of $0.11 is a 10% increase from the prior year.
Significant factors that affect our overall management of liquidity include our credit ratings, the adequacy of commercial paper and supporting bank lines of credit, and the ability to attract long-term capital on satisfactory terms. We assess these factors along with current market conditions on a continuous basis, and as a result, may alter the mix of our short- and long-term financing when it is advantageous to do so.
We access the commercial paper market to supplement the cash flows generated internally to provide additional short-term funding for strategic investments and other funding requirements. We manage our short-term liquidity through the use of our commercial paper program by adjusting the level of commercial paper borrowings as opportunities to deploy additional capital arise and it is cost effective to do so. As of March 31, 2014, we had an outstanding commercial paper balance of $27.0 and averaged an outstanding balance of $50.2 during the first quarter. There have been no material changes that have impacted our funding and liquidity capabilities since December 31, 2013.
Credit Facilities
On October 25, 2011 we entered into a four-year revolving $500 credit agreement (the 2011 Revolving Credit Agreement). The 2011 Revolving Credit Agreement is intended to provide access to additional liquidity and be a source of funding for the commercial paper program, if needed. Our policy is to maintain unused committed bank lines of credit in an amount greater than outstanding commercial paper balances. The interest rate for borrowings under the 2011 Revolving Credit Agreement is generally based on the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), plus a spread, which reflects our debt rating. The provisions of the 2011 Revolving Credit Agreement require that we maintain an interest coverage ratio, as defined, of at least 3.0 times and a leverage ratio, as defined, of not more than 3.0 times. At March 31, 2014, we had no amounts outstanding under the 2011 Revolving Credit Agreement and our interest coverage ratio and leverage ratio were within the prescribed thresholds.
Sources and Uses of Liquidity
Our principal source of liquidity is our cash flow generated from operating activities, which provides us with the ability to meet the majority of our short-term funding requirements. The following table summarizes net cash derived from operating, investing, and financing activities from continuing operations, as well as net cash derived from discontinued operations, for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.

Net cash of $13.2 was used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2014, representing an increase of $0.9 from the prior year. Cash activity related to net income tax payments and refunds resulted in a net year-over-year decline to cash flow from operations of $9.3 when comparing the three months of 2014 to the similar 2013 period. This unfavorable impact was offset by an increased source of cash from segment operating income after non-cash adjustments of $5.6. Working capital was consistent with the prior year as increases in accounts receivable from increased quarterly revenue was offset by lower inventory balances. Typically, during the first quarter of the year we have a negative accounts receivable cash flow impact due to year end collection

24


efforts. The first quarter 2014 accounts receivable balance was additionally impacted by the timing of revenue on certain large, long-term industrial pump projects.
Net cash from investing activities improved by $61.2 in the three months ended March 31, 2014 primarily due to maturities, net of purchases, of short-term time deposit investments of $48.2 during the first quarter of 2014 as compared to net purchases during 2013 of $18.5, resulting in a $66.7 year-over-year fluctuation. In addition, we used an additional $2.3 on capital expenditures during 2014 primarily associated production capacity investments in Motion Technologies and the construction of an additional production facility in Seneca Falls, New York for our Industrial Process segment. These investments were partially offset by a decline in capital spending at our corporate headquarters and shared service locations which had a higher level of spending in 2013 in connection with information technology upgrades.
Net cash used in financing activities decreased by $4.5 in the three months ended March 31, 2014 as compared to the prior year primarily due to a $43.4 reduction in cash used for common stock repurchases, partially offset by an increase in net short-term debt borrowings of $39.3.
Asbestos
Based on the estimated undiscounted asbestos liability as of March 31, 2014 for claims filed or estimated to be filed over the next 10 years, we have estimated that we will be able to recover 40% of the asbestos indemnity and defense costs from our insurers. Actual insurance reimbursements will vary from period to period and the anticipated recovery rate is expected to decline over time due to gaps in our insurance coverage, reflecting uninsured periods, the insolvency of certain insurers, prior settlements with our insurers, and our expectation that certain insurance policies will exhaust within the next 10 years. In the tenth year of our estimate, our insurance recoveries are currently projected to be 30%. Additionally, future recovery rates may be impacted by other factors, such as future insurance settlements, insolvencies, and judicial determinations relevant to our coverage program, which are difficult to predict and subject to a high degree of uncertainty.
Further, there is uncertainty in estimating when cash payments related to the recorded asbestos liability will be fully expended and such cash payments will continue for a number of years beyond the next 10 years due to the significant proportion of future claims included in the estimated asbestos liability and the delay between the date a claim is filed and when it is resolved. Subject to these inherent uncertainties, it is expected that cash payments related to pending claims and claims to be filed in the next 10 years, will extend through approximately 2029.
Annual net cash outflows, net of tax benefits, are projected to average $10 to $20 over the next five years, as compared to an average of $14.0 over the past three annual periods, and increase to an average of approximately $35 to $45 over the remainder of the projection period.
In light of the uncertainties and variables inherent in the long-term projection of the Company's asbestos exposures and potential recoveries, although it is probable that the Company will incur additional costs for asbestos claims filed beyond the next 10 years, we do not believe there is a reasonable basis for estimating the number of future claims, the nature of future claims, or the cost to resolve future claims for years beyond the next 10 years at this time. Accordingly, no liability or related asset has been recorded for any costs that may be incurred for claims asserted subsequent to 2023.
Due to these uncertainties, as well as our inability to reasonably estimate any additional asbestos liability for claims which may be filed beyond the next 10 years, it is not possible to predict the ultimate outcome of the cost of resolving the pending and estimated unasserted asbestos claims. We believe it is possible that the future events affecting the key factors and other variables within the next 10 years, as well as the cost of asbestos claims filed beyond the next 10 years, net of expected recoveries, could have a material adverse effect on our financial statements.

Key Performance Indicators and Non-GAAP Measures
Management reviews key performance indicators including revenue, segment operating income and margins, earnings per share, orders growth, and backlog, among others. 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, dividends, acquisitions and share repurchases. 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:
n
“organic revenue” and “organic orders” are defined as revenue and orders, excluding the impact of foreign currency fluctuations and contributions from acquisitions and divestitures made during the previous twelve months. Orders are defined as firm orders that have been received, acknowledged and entered into our production systems. Divestitures include sales of insignificant portions of our business that did not meet the criteria for presentation as a discontinued operation. The period-over-period change resulting from foreign currency fluctuations assumes translation at a constant exchange rate for the current and prior periods.
A reconciliation of the year over year change in revenue, including amounts attributable to organic growth, acquisitions and divestitures, and foreign currency, for the three months ended March 31, 2014, is provided below.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
The preparation of ITT's financial statements, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. ITT believes the most complex and sensitive judgments, because of their significance to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements, result primarily from the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. Management's Discussion and Analysis in the 2013 Annual Report describes the critical accounting estimates that are used in preparation of the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements. Actual results in these areas could differ from management's estimates. There have been no significant changes concerning ITT's critical accounting estimates as described in our 2013 Annual Report. However, due to an increase in the number and size of complex long-term industrial pump design and build contracts, an update to the critical accounting estimate disclosure related to revenue recognition is provided below:
We recognize revenue for certain long-term design and build projects using the percentage-of-completion method, based upon the percentage of costs incurred to total projected costs. Revenue and profit recognized under the percentage-of-completion method are based on management’s estimates such as total contract revenues, contract costs and the extent of progress toward completion.Due to the long-term nature of the contracts, these estimates are subject to uncertainties and require significant judgment. Estimates of contract costs include labor hours and rates, and material costs. These estimates consider historical performance, the complexity of the work to be performed, the estimated time to complete the project, and other economic factors such as inflation and market rates. We update our estimates on a periodic basis and any revisions to such estimates are recorded in earnings in the period in which they are determined. Provisions for estimated losses, if any, on uncompleted long-term contracts, are made in the period in which such losses are determined.
ITEM 3.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
There has been no material change in the information concerning market risk as stated in our 2013 Annual Report. However, we provide the following update to our 10-K disclosure related to the highly inflationary economy of Venezuela:
During the first quarter of 2014, the Venezuelan government began publishing average exchange rates resulting from two different currency auctions authorized by the government. Therefore, as of March 31, 2014, an entity may be able to convert Venezuelan bolivar fuertes (BsF) to U.S. dollars (USD) at one of three legal exchange rates; the Official Rate of 6.3 BsF to 1 USD, the initial auction rate of 10.7 BsF to 1 USD, and a second auction rate that is intended to more closely resemble a market-driven exchange rate of 50.86 BsF to 1 USD.
Our business in Venezuela is in the oil & gas market and is considered by the Venezuelan government as “essential goods and services” that allows us to exchange currency at the Official Rate. We received approval to transact at the Official Rate in September 2013 and anticipate that we will continue to be authorized to exchange at the Official Rate for the foreseeable future and as such we have measured the financial statements of our Venezuelan subsidiary at the Official Rate as of March 31, 2014. In the future, the Official Rate may change or we may no longer be able to exchange currency at the Official Rate. We estimate that a 100% devaluation in the BsF to USD exchange rate from the March 31, 2014 Official Rate would result in a remeasurement charge of approximately $2.7.
ITEM 4.
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, such officers have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the last fiscal quarter that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II.      OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
From time to time, we are involved in legal proceedings that are incidental to the operation of our businesses. Some of these proceedings allege damages relating to environmental exposures, intellectual property matters, copyright infringement, personal injury claims, employment and employee benefit matters, government contract issues and commercial or contractual disputes and acquisitions or divestitures. Descriptions of certain legal proceedings to which the Company is a party are contained in Note 16, "Commitments and Contingencies" to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and are incorporated by reference herein. Such descriptions include the following recent developments:
Asbestos Proceedings
ITT, including its subsidiary Goulds Pumps, Inc., has been joined as a defendant with numerous other companies in product liability lawsuits alleging personal injury due to asbestos exposure. These claims allege that certain of our products sold prior to 1985 contained a part manufactured by a third party (e.g., a gasket) which contained asbestos. To the extent these third-party parts may have contained asbestos, it was encapsulated in the gasket (or other) material and was non-friable. Frequently, the plaintiffs are unable to identify any ITT or Goulds Pump product as a source of asbestos exposure. In addition, a large majority of claims pending against the Company have been placed on inactive dockets because the plaintiff cannot demonstrate a significant compensable loss. Our experience to date is that a substantial portion of resolved claims have been dismissed without payment by the Company.
We record a liability for pending asbestos claims and asbestos claims estimated to be filed over the next 10 years. While it is probable that we will incur additional costs for future claims to be filed against the Company, a liability for potential future claims beyond the next 10 years is not reasonably estimable due to a number of factors. As of March 31, 2014, we have recorded an undiscounted asbestos-related liability for pending claims and unasserted claims estimated to be filed over the next 10 years of $1,269.6, including expected legal fees, and an associated asset of $509.4 which represents estimated recoveries from insurers, resulting in a net asbestos exposure of $760.2.

On October 27, 2006, a three-year $1 billion share repurchase program (2006 Share Repurchase Program) was approved by our Board of Directors. On December 16, 2008, the provisions of the share repurchase program were modified by our Board of Directors to replace the original three-year term with an indefinite term. As of March 31, 2014, we had repurchased 15.3 shares for $629.3, including commissions, under the 2006 Share Repurchase Program. The program is consistent with our capital allocation process, which has centered on those investments necessary to grow our businesses organically and through acquisitions, while also providing cash returns to shareholders. Our strategy for cash flow utilization is to invest in our business, execute strategic acquisitions, pay dividends and repurchase common stock.

OTHER INFORMATION
Disclosure pursuant to Section 219 of the Iran Threat Reduction & Syria Human Rights Act (ITRA)
This disclosure is made pursuant to Section 219 of the Iran Threat Reduction and Syria Human Rights Act of 2012 which added a new subsection (r) to section 13 of the Exchange Act (Section 13(r)) requiring a public reporting issuer to disclose in its annual or quarterly reports whether it or any affiliates have knowingly engaged in specified activities or transactions relating to Iran, including activities conducted outside the United States by non-U.S. affiliates in compliance with local law.
In its 2012 Annual Report, ITT described its acquisition of all the shares of Bornemann in November 2012, as well as certain activities of Bornemann in Iran and the wind down of those activities in accordance with a General License issued on December 26, 2012 (the General License) by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC). As permitted by the General License, on or before March 8, 2013, Bornemann completed the wind-down activities and ceased all activities in Iran. As required to be disclosed by Section 13(r), the gross revenues and operating income to Bornemann from its Iranian activities subsequent to its acquisition by ITT were Euros 2.2 million and Euros 1.5 million, respectively. Prior to its acquisition by ITT, Bornemann issued a performance bond to its Iranian customer in the amount of Euros 1.3 million (the Bond). Bornemann requested that the Bond be cancelled prior to March 8, 2013; however, the former customer refused this request and as a result the Bond has remained outstanding. Bornemann did not receive gross revenues or operating income, or pay interest, with respect to the performance bond in 2013, however, Bornemann did pay fees in 2013 of approximately Euros 43 thousand to the German financial institution which is maintaining the performance bond. 
In connection with certain activities that could not be finalized on or before March 8, 2013, ITT has applied for a Special License with OFAC in order to engage in settlement discussions with an agent associated with Bornemann’s Iranian activities. This application is still pending with OFAC. If OFAC grants the Special License and a settlement can be reached, ITT intends to apply for a Special License to implement the settlement with the agent.

10.01 2014 Performance Unit Award Agreement


EXHIBIT 10.01

ITT CORPORATION 2011 OMNIBUS INCENTIVE PLAN
PERFORMANCE UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT

THIS AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”), effective as of the 4th day of March 2014, by and between ITT Corporation (the “Company”) and _______________ (the “Participant”),
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, the Participant is now employed by the Company or an Affiliate of the Company, and in recognition of the Participant's valued services, the Company, through the Compensation and Personnel Committee of its Board of Directors (the “Committee”), desires to provide an opportunity for the Participant to receive a performance-based long-term incentive award, pursuant to the provisions of the ITT Corporation 2011 Omnibus Incentive Plan, as approved by the Board of Directors on February 23, 2011 and effective May 11, 2011 (the “Plan”).
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the provisions of the Plan, which is incorporated herein as part of this Agreement and which provides definitions for capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein, and any administrative rules and regulations related to the Plan as may be adopted by the Committee, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
1.
Grant of Award and Performance Period. In accordance with, and subject to, the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement, the Company hereby grants to the Participant this performance unit award (the “Award”). A performance unit corresponds to the right to receive one Share, subject to the terms of the Award. The target number of performance units subject to this Award is _______________ (the “Target Units”). The actual number of performance units that will be settled under this Award will depend upon the achievement of the threshold performance goal described in Section 2 of this Agreement during the Performance Period, which for this Award commences January 1, 2014 and ends December 31, 2016.
2.
Threshold Condition to Payout of Awards. The Award payable under this Agreement shall not be due and payable to the Participant unless the Company’s earns a level of Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization in any rolling consecutive four calendar quarter period beginning with the calendar quarter in which the Performance Period begins that exceeds $159 million (the “Threshold”). In the event that the Threshold is exceeded in any such rolling consecutive four calendar quarter period, then the number of performance units due and payable to the Participant hereunder shall be a number equal to the number of Target Units set forth above multiplied by two. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee reserves the right, in the exercise of its total discretion, to reduce the number of performance units that shall be due and payable to the Participant hereunder.
3.
Additional Terms and Conditions. For guidance to the Committee in determining the level of the Award that may be paid hereunder, the Committee will examine the Award under the following terms and conditions but is not obligated to apply these factors in determining the actual amount of Awards payable hereunder:
(a)
Performance Unit Award Payout. A “Performance Unit Award Payout” shall be calculated and shall represent the sum of the TSR Unit Payout and the ROIC Unit Payout, each as described below.


(i)
TSR Unit Payout. 50% of the Target Units shall be “TSR Target Units.” The performance units calculated with respect to the TSR Target Units shall be determined in accordance with the following formula:
TSR Unit Payout = Payout Factor X TSR Target Units
The “Payout Factor” is based on the Company’s Total Shareholder Return (defined and measured as described below, the “TSR”) for the Performance Period relative to the TSR for each company in the S&P 400 Capital Goods Index (“Peer Group”), determined in accordance with the following table:





If Company’s TSR rank against the
S&P 400 Capital Goods Index is
TSR Payout Factor
(% of TSR Target Units)
less than the 35th percentile
0%
at the 35th percentile
50%
at the 50th percentile
100%
at the 80th percentile or more
200%
The Payout Factor is interpolated for actual results between the 35th percentile and the 80th percentile shown above.

The term “Total Shareholder Return” for a particular Performance Period means the rate of return (expressed as a percentage) achieved with respect to the common stock of the Company and the common stock of each company in the Peer Group for such Performance Period. Total Shareholder Return includes the sum of two components:
The cumulative percentage change in the common stock price from the beginning of the Performance Period to the end of the Performance Period measured as the change between the average closing price of such common stock for the trading days occurring in the month ending December 31, 2013 and the month ending December 31, 2016; and
All dividends paid and any other extraordinary shareholder actions paid with respect to a share of common stock during such Performance Period are accumulated with assumed reinvestment in the common stock of the Company and divided by the average closing prices for the trading days occurring in the month ending December 31, 2013.
(ii)
ROIC Unit Payout. 50% of the Target Units shall be “ROIC Target Units.” The performance units calculated with respect to the ROIC Target Units shall be determined in accordance with the following formula:
ROIC Unit Payout = Payout Factor X ROIC Target Units
The “Payout Factor” is based on the Return on Invested Capital (“ROIC”) achieved during the final year of the Performance Period. ROIC refers to a percentage calculated by dividing (A) income from continuing operations attributable to the Company, adjusted to exclude the after-tax impact from special items, interest expense, and amortization expense from intangible assets by (B) average total assets of continuing operations, less asbestos-related assets (including deferred tax assets on asbestos-related matters) and non-interest bearing current liabilities for the five preceding quarterly periods, adjusted to exclude the after-tax impact from special items. Special items represent significant charges or credits that impact results, but may not be related to the Company’s ongoing operations and performance. The “Payout Factor” is determined in accordance with the following table:
Return on Invested Capital

ROIC Payout Factor
(% of ROIC Target Units)
X%
50%
X%
100%
X%
200%
The Payout Factor is interpolated between the actual ROIC results.

(b)
Form and Timing of Payment of Award. Except as provided in subsection 2(d), payment with respect to an earned and calculated Performance Unit Award shall be made as soon as practicable (but not later than March 15th) in the calendar year following the close of the Performance Period. Payment shall be made in Shares in an amount equal to the Performance Unit Award Payout, as determined under subsection 2(a).
(c)
Effect of Termination of Employment. Except as otherwise provided below, if the Participant’s employment with the Company or an Affiliate of the Company is terminated for any reason prior to the end of the Performance Period, any Award subject to this Agreement shall be immediately forfeited.





(i)
Termination due to Death or Disability. If the Participant’s termination of employment is due to death or Disability (as defined below), the Award shall vest and will be payable at the time and in the form as provided in subsection 2(b) above and shall be based on the performance criteria set forth in subsection 2(a) above as measured for the entire Performance Period.
(ii)
Termination due to Early Retirement. If the Participant’s termination of employment is due to Early Retirement (as defined below), then a prorated portion of the Award shall vest in accordance with the provisions of this subsection and will be payable at the time and in the form as provided in subsection 2(b) above. The prorated portion of the Award that vests due to termination of the Participant's employment due to Early Retirement shall be determined by multiplying (i) the Performance Unit Award Payout determined pursuant to subsection 2(a) above for the entire Performance Period, by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of full months the Participant has been continually employed since the beginning of the Performance Period and the denominator of which is 36. For this purpose, full months of employment shall be based on monthly anniversaries of the commencement of the Performance Period.
(iii)
Termination by the Company for Other than Cause. If the Participant’s employment is terminated by the Company (or an Affiliate of the Company, as the case may be) for other than Cause, a prorated portion of the Award shall vest in accordance with the provisions of this subsection and will be payable at the time and in the form as provided in subsection 2(b) above. The prorated portion of the Award that vests due to termination of the Participant's employment by the Company for other than cause shall be determined by multiplying (i) the Performance Unit Award Payout determined pursuant to subsection 2(a) above for the entire Performance Period, by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of full months the Participant has been continually employed since the beginning of the Performance Period and the denominator of which is 36. For this purpose, full months of employment shall be based on monthly anniversaries of the commencement of the Performance Period. The term “Cause” shall means “cause” as defined in any employment agreement then in effect between the Participant and the Company, or if not defined therein, or if there is no such agreement, the Participant’s (a) embezzlement, misappropriation of corporate funds, or other material acts of dishonesty; (b) commission or conviction of any felony, or of any misdemeanor involving moral turpitude, or entry of a plea of guilty or nolo contendere to any felony or misdemeanor; (c) engagement in any activity that the Participant knows or should know could harm the business or reputation of the Company or an affiliate; (d) material failure to adhere to the Company’s or its subsidiaries’ or affiliates’ corporate codes, policies or procedures as in effect from time to time; (e) willful failure to perform the Participant’s assigned duties, repeated absenteeism or tardiness, insubordination, or the refusal or failure to comply with the directions or instructions of the Participant’s supervisor, as determined by the Company or an affiliate; (f) violation of any statutory, contractual, or common law duty or obligation to the Company or an affiliate, including, without limitation, the duty of loyalty; (g) the Participant’s violation of any of the applicable provisions of subsection 2(h) of this Agreement; or (h) material breach of any confidentiality or non-competition covenant entered into between the Participant and the Company or an affiliate. The determination of the existence of Cause shall be made by the Company in good faith, and such determination shall be conclusive for purposes of this Agreement.
(iv)
Termination Due to Normal Retirement. Notwithstanding any provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, the number of Target Units awarded hereunder may be reduced in the event that the Participant terminates with the Company due to Normal Retirement at any time within the calendar year in which the Performance Period related to the Target Units begins. In such an event, the amount of the Target Units for all purposes under this Agreement shall thereafter equal the number of the Target Units granted herein multiplied by a faction, the numerator of which is the number of full months in such calendar year that were completed before the Participant’s termination and the denominator of which is 12. If the Participant’s termination of employment is due to Normal Retirement (as defined below), this Award will continue to vest through the end of the Performance Period, but only if the Participant satisfies the applicable provisions set forth in subsection 2(i) below after such separation from service. The amount of the payment of the Award will be determined in accordance with subsection





2(a) above, and payment will be made at the time and form provided in subsection 2(b) above. If the Participant violates the aforementioned provisions, the Participant shall forfeit this Award.
(v)
Early and Normal Retirement. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Early Retirement” shall mean any termination of the Participant’s employment after the date the Participant attains age 55 and completes 10 or more years of Effective Service (as such term is defined in the ITT Corporation Retirement Savings Plan for Salaried Employees). The term “Normal Retirement” shall mean any termination of the Participant’s employment after the date the Participant attains age 62 and completes 10 or more years of Effective Service (as such term is defined in the ITT Corporation Retirement Savings Plan for Salaried Employees) or, if earlier, (B) the date the Participant attains age 65.
(vi)
Disability. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Disability” shall mean the complete and permanent inability of the Participant to perform all of his or her duties under the terms of his or her employment, as determined by the Committee upon the basis of such evidence, including independent medical reports and data, as the Committee deems appropriate or necessary.
(d)
Prorated Vesting Upon Early Retirement or Termination of Employment After an Acceleration Event. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, if, during the Performance Period, the Participant’s employment is terminated on or within two (2) years after an Acceleration Event (A) by the Company (or an Affiliate, as the case may be) for other than Cause, as defined herein, and not because of the Participant’s Early or Normal Retirement, Disability, or death, or (B) by the Participant because of Good Reason, then the Award shall become fully vested and valued as provided below in this subsection 2(d) and shall be paid within 30 days following the date of termination. Notwithstanding any provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, the value of the Performance Unit Award Payout payable under this subsection 2(d) shall be equal to the greater of (i) the product of the aggregate number of performance units using the same percentages applied to the Target TSR Units and Target ROIC Units for payment purposes at the completion of the Performance Period last ending before the date the Participant terminated employment multiplied by the market price of a Share on the date of the Acceleration Event or (ii) the product of the Target Units granted hereunder multiplied by the market price of a Share on the date of the Acceleration Event. For this purpose, the term “Good Reason” shall mean (i) without the Participant’s express written consent and excluding for this purpose an isolated, insubstantial and inadvertent action not taken in bad faith and which is remedied by the Company or its affiliates within 30 days after receipt of notice thereof given by the Participant, (a) a reduction in the Participant’s annual base compensation (whether or not deferred), (b) the assignment to the Participant of any duties inconsistent in any material respect with the Participant’s position (including status, offices, titles and reporting requirements), authority, duties or responsibilities, or (c) any other action by the Company or its affiliates that results in a material diminution in such position, authority, duties or responsibilities; or (ii) without the Participant’s express written consent, the Company’s requiring the Participant’s primary work location to be other than within twenty-five (25) miles of the location where the Participant was principally working immediately prior to the Acceleration Event; provided, that “Good Reason” shall cease to exist for an event on the 90th day following the later of its occurrence or the Participant’s knowledge thereof, unless the Participant has given the Company notice thereof prior to such date.
(e)
Other Payments After an Acceleration Event. In the event a Performance Period ends after the occurrence of an Acceleration Event, then, notwithstanding any provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, the value of the Performance Unit Award Payout payable at a time otherwise provided herein shall be equal to the greater of (i) the product of the aggregate number of performance units using the same percentages applied to Target TSR Units and Target ROIC Units for payment purposes at the completion of the Performance Period last ending before the date of the Acceleration Event multiplied by the market price of a Share on the date of the Acceleration Event or (ii) the product of the Target Units granted hereunder multiplied by the market price of a Share on the date of the Acceleration Event.
(f)
Tax Withholding. Payments with respect to Awards under the Plan shall be subject to applicable tax withholding obligations as described in Article 15 of the Plan, or, if the Plan is amended, successor provisions.





(g)
No Shareholder Rights. The Participant shall not be entitled to any rights or privileges of ownership of Shares with respect to this Award unless and until a Share is actually delivered to the Participant in settlement of this Award pursuant to this Agreement.
(h)
Participant Bound by Plan and Rules. The Participant hereby acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan and this Agreement and agrees to be bound by the terms and provisions thereof. The Participant agrees to be bound by any rules and regulations for administering the Plan as may be adopted by the Committee prior to the settlement of the Award subject to this Agreement. The Committee shall be authorized to make all necessary interpretations concerning the provisions of this Agreement and the proper application of those provisions to particular fact patterns, including but not limited to the basis for the Participant’s termination of employment, and any such interpretation shall be final. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall be as defined in the Plan.
(i)
Non-Competition, Non-Solicitation and Non-Disparagement. In consideration of the Company entering into this Agreement with the Participant, the Participant agrees that throughout his or her term of employment with the Company and for a period of twelve (12) months following the Participant’s date of termination with the Company, the Participant shall not, directly or indirectly, divert or attempt to divert or assist others in diverting any business of the Company by soliciting, contacting or communicating with any customer or supplier of the Company with whom the Participant has direct or indirect contact or upon termination of employment has had direct or indirect contact during the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding the Participant’s date of termination with the Company. The Participant further agrees that for a period of twelve (12) months following his or her date of termination with the Company the Participant shall not, directly or indirectly, solicit, induce, attempt to induce or assist others in attempting to induce any employee of the Company with whom the Participant has worked or had material contact with, during the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding the termination of the Participant’s employment, to leave the employment of the Company or a subsidiary of the Company or to accept employment or affiliation with any other company or firm of which the Participant becomes an employee, owner, partner or consultant. The Participant agrees that throughout his or her term of employment with the Company and for a period of twelve (12) months following the Participant’s date of termination that the Participant will not make any statements, orally or in writing, cause to be published or in any way disseminate any information concerning the Company or any subsidiaries of the Company concerning the Company’s business, business operations or business practices that in any way, in form or substance, harms, disparages or otherwise casts an unfavorable light upon the Company or any subsidiaries of the Company or upon any of their reputations or standing in the business community or the community as a whole.    
(j)
Governing Law. This Agreement is issued in White Plains, New York, and shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, excluding any conflicts or choice of law rule or principle that might otherwise refer construction or interpretation of this Agreement to the substantive law of another jurisdiction.
(k)
Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement that is determined to be invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without rendering invalid or unenforceable the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction and such invalid or unenforceable provision shall be modified by such court so that it is enforceable to the extent permitted by applicable law.
(l)
Section 409A Compliance. To the extent applicable, it is intended that the Plan and this Agreement comply with the requirements of Section 409A, and the Plan and this Agreement shall be interpreted accordingly.
(i)
If it is determined that all or a portion of the Award constitutes deferred compensation for purposes of Section 409A, and if the Participant is a “specified employee,” as defined in Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, at the time of the Grantee’s separation from service, then, to the extent required under Section 409A, any portion of this Award that would otherwise be distributed upon the Participant’s termination of employment, shall instead be distributed on the earlier of (x) the first business day of the seventh month following the date of the Participant’s termination of employment or (y) the Participant’s death.
(ii)
It is intended that this Agreement shall comply with the provisions of Section 409A, or an exception to Section 409A, to the extent applicable, so as not to subject the Grantee to the





payment of interest and taxes under Section 409A. Accordingly, any payments to be made upon a vesting event under this Agreement shall be made no later than March 15th of the year after the year in which the Award vests. Further, any reference to termination of employment, Early Retirement, Normal Retirement, separation from service, or similar terms under this Agreement shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with the definition of “separation from service” under Section 409A.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this instrument to be executed by its Chief Executive Officer, President or a Vice President, as of the 4th day of March 2014.

Agreed to:                            ITT Corporation

ITT CORPORATION
2011 OMNIBUS INCENTIVE PLAN
NON-QUALIFIED STOCK OPTION AWARD AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”), effective as of the 4th day of March, 2014 by and between ITT Corporation (the “Company”) and _______________ (the “Optionee”),
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, the Optionee is now employed by the Company or an Affiliate (as defined in the Company’s 2011 Omnibus Incentive Plan, as approved by the Board of Directors on February 23, 2011 and effective May 11, 2011 (the “Plan”)) as an employee, and in recognition of the Optionee’s valued services, the Company, through the Compensation and Personnel Committee of its Board of Directors (the “Committee”), desires to provide an opportunity for the Optionee to acquire or enlarge stock ownership in the Company, pursuant to the provisions of the Plan.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the provisions of the Plan, a copy of which is attached hereto and incorporated herein as part of this Agreement, and any administrative rules and regulations related to the Plan as may be adopted by the Committee, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
1.
Grant of Options.

The Option shall be a Nonqualified Stock Option. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the number of Shares subject to the Option awarded hereunder may be reduced in the event that the Participant terminates with the Company due to Normal Retirement at any time within the twelve (12) month period beginning on the Grant Date. In such an event, the number of Shares subject to the Option for all purposes under this Agreement shall thereafter equal the number of Shares subject to the Option granted herein multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of full months in such twelve (12) month period that were completed before the Participant’s termination and the denominator of which is 12.
2.
Terms and Conditions. It is understood and agreed that the Option is subject to the following terms and conditions:
(a)
Expiration Date. The Option shall expire on March 4, 2024, or, if the Optionee’s employment terminates before that date, on the date specified in subsection (f) below.

(c)
Vesting. Subject to subsections 2(a) and 2(f), the Option shall vest in full upon March 4, 2017.
(d)
Payment of Exercise Price. Permissible methods for payment of the Exercise Price upon exercise of the Option are described in Section 6.6 of the Plan, or, if the Plan is amended, successor provisions. In addition to the methods of exercise permitted by Section 6.6 of the Plan, the Optionee may exercise all or part of the Option by way of (i) broker-assisted cashless exercise in a manner consistent with the Federal Reserve Board's Regulation T, unless the Committee determines that such exercise method is prohibited by law, or (ii) net-settlement, whereby the Optionee directs the Company to withhold Shares that otherwise would be issued upon exercise of the Option having an aggregate Fair Market Value on the date of the exercise equal to the Exercise Price, or the portion thereof being exercised by way of net-settlement (rounding up to the nearest whole Share).
(e)
Tax Withholding. The Company shall have the power and the right to deduct or withhold, or require the Optionee to remit to the Company, all applicable federal, state, and local taxes, domestic or foreign, required by law or regulation to be withheld with respect to the exercise of the Option. The Optionee may elect to satisfy the withholding requirement, in whole or in part, by having the Company withhold Shares that otherwise would be issued upon exercise of the Option, with the number of Shares withheld having a Fair Market Value on the date the tax is to be determined equal to the minimum statutory total tax that could be imposed on the transaction (rounding up to the nearest whole Share). Any such election shall be subject to any restrictions or limitations that the Committee, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate.






(f)
Effect of Termination of Employment.
If the Optionee’s employment terminates before March 4, 2024, the Option shall expire on the date set forth below, as applicable:
(i)
Termination due to Death. If the Optionee’s employment is terminated as a result of the Optionee’s death, the Option shall expire on the earlier of March 4, 2024, or the date three years after the termination of the Optionee’s employment due to death. If all or any portion of the Option is not vested at the time of the Optionee's termination of employment due to death, the Option shall immediately become 100% vested.
(ii)
Termination due to Disability. If the Optionee’s employment is terminated as a result of the Optionee’s Disability (as defined below), the Option shall expire on the earlier of March 4, 2024, or the date five years after the termination of the Optionee’s employment due to Disability. If all or any portion of the Option is not vested at the time of the termination of the Optionee's employment due to Disability, the Option shall immediately become 100% vested.
(iii)
Termination due to Early Retirement. If the Optionee's employment is terminated as a result of the Optionee's Early Retirement (as defined below), then the Option shall expire on the earlier of March 4, 2024, or the date five years after the termination of the Optionee's employment due to Early Retirement. If the Optionee’s employment is terminated as a result of the Optionee’s Early Retirement and the Option is not vested at the time of the such termination, then a prorated portion of the unvested portion of the Option shall immediately vest as of the date of the termination of employment in accordance with the terms of this subsection. The prorated portion of an Option that vests upon termination of employment due to the Optionee's Early Retirement shall be determined by multiplying the total number of Shares subject to such Option by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of full months the Optionee has been continually employed since the Grant Date and the denominator of which is 36. For this purpose, full months of employment shall be based on monthly anniversaries of the Grant Date, not calendar months. Any remaining unvested portion of the Option shall expire as of the date of the termination of the Optionee's employment.
(iv)
Termination due to Normal Retirement. If the Optionee's employment is terminated as a result of the Optionee's Normal Retirement (as defined below), the Option shall expire on the earlier of March 4, 2024, or the date five years after the termination of the Optionee's employment due to Normal Retirement. If the Optionee’s employment is terminated as a result of Normal Retirement, then the Option, to the extent then not vested, will continue to vest in accordance with subsection 2(c) above, but only if the Optionee satisfies the obligation imposed on the Optionee under subsection 2(h) after such termination of employment. If the Optionee violates the aforementioned provisions, the Optionee shall forfeit any unexercised portion of the Option.
(v)
Cause. If the Optionee’s employment is terminated by the Company (or an Affiliate, as the case may be) for Cause (as determined by the Committee), the vested and unvested portions of the Option shall expire on the date of the termination of the Optionee’s employment. for this purpose, “Cause” shall means “cause” as defined in any employment agreement then in effect between the Optionee and the Company, or if not defined therein, or if there is no such agreement, the Optionee’s (a) embezzlement, misappropriation of corporate funds, or other material acts of dishonesty; (b) commission or conviction of any felony, or of any misdemeanor involving moral turpitude, or entry of a plea of guilty or nolo contendere to any felony or misdemeanor; (c) engagement in any activity that the Optionee knows or should know could harm the business or reputation of the Company or an affiliate; (d) material failure to adhere to the Company’s or its subsidiaries’ or affiliates’ corporate codes, policies or procedures as in effect from time to time; (e) willful failure to perform the Optionee’s assigned duties, repeated absenteeism or tardiness, insubordination, or the refusal or failure to comply with the directions or instructions of the Optionee’s supervisor, as determined by the Company or an affiliate; (f) violation of any statutory, contractual, or common law duty or obligation to the Company or an affiliate, including, without limitation, the duty of loyalty; (g) the Optionee’s violation of any of the applicable provisions of subsection 2(h) of this Agreement; or (h) material breach of any confidentiality or non-competition covenant entered into between the Optionee and the Company or an affiliate. The determination of the existence of Cause shall be made by the





Company in good faith, and such determination shall be conclusive for purposes of this Agreement.
(vi)
Voluntary Termination. If the Optionee’s employment is terminated by the Optionee and not because of the Optionee’s Early or Normal Retirement, Disability or death, the vested portion of the Option shall expire on the earlier of March 4, 2024, or the date three months after the termination of the Optionee’s employment. Any portion of the Option that is not vested (or the entire Option, if no part was vested) as of the date the Optionee’s employment so terminates shall expire immediately on the date of termination of employment, and such unvested portion of the Option (the entire Option, if no portion was vested on the date of termination) shall not thereafter be exercisable.
(vii)
Other Termination by the Company. If the Optionee’s employment is terminated by the Company (or an Affiliate, as the case may be) for other than Cause (as determined by the Committee), and not because of the Optionee’s Early or Normal Retirement, Disability or death, the vested portion of the Option shall expire on the earlier of March 4, 2024, or the date three months after the termination of the Optionee’s employment. For this purpose, the vested portion of such an Optionee’s Option shall be determined on a prorated basis, and the prorated portion of an Option that vests upon such termination of employment shall be determined by multiplying the total number of Shares subject to such Option by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of full months the Optionee has been continually employed since the Grant Date and the denominator of which is 36. Full months of employment shall be based on monthly anniversaries of the Grant Date, not calendar months. Any portion of the Option that is not vested (or the entire Option, if no part was vested) as of the date the Optionee’s employment terminates shall expire immediately on the date of termination of employment, and such unvested portion of the Option (the entire Option, if no portion was vested on the date of termination) shall not thereafter be exercisable.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Optionee’s employment is terminated on or within two (2) years after an Acceleration Event (A) by the Company (or an Affiliate, as the case may be) for other than Cause (as defined herein), and not because of the Optionee’s Early or Normal Retirement, Disability, or death, or (B) by the Optionee for Good Reason, then the Option shall in no event expire before the earlier of the date that is five (5) years after the Acceleration Event or March 4, 2024. For this purpose, the term “Good Reason” shall mean (i) without the Optionee’s express written consent and excluding for this purpose an isolated, insubstantial and inadvertent action not taken in bad faith and which is remedied by the Company or its affiliates within 30 days after receipt of notice thereof given by the Optionee, (a) a reduction in the Optionee’s annual base compensation (whether or not deferred), (b) the assignment to the Optionee of any duties inconsistent in any material respect with the Optionee’s position (including status, offices, titles and reporting requirements), authority, duties or responsibilities, or (c) any other action by the Company or its affiliates that results in a material diminution in such position, authority, duties or responsibilities; or (ii) without the Optionee’s express written consent, the Company’s requiring the Optionee’s primary work location to be other than within twenty-five (25) miles of the location where the Optionee was principally working immediately prior to the Acceleration Event; provided, that “Good Reason” shall cease to exist for an event on the 90th day following the later of its occurrence or the Optionee’s knowledge thereof, unless the Optionee has given the Company notice thereof prior to such date. If the Option is not vested at the time of the Optionee’s termination after an Acceleration Event, the Option shall immediately become 100% vested.
Early and Normal Retirement. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Early Retirement” shall mean any termination of the Optionee’s employment after the date the Optionee attains age 55 and completes 10 or more years of Effective Service (as such term is defined in the ITT Corporation Retirement Savings Plan). The term “Normal Retirement” shall mean any termination of the Optionee’s employment after the date the Optionee attains age 62 and completes 10 or more years of Effective Service (as such term is defined in the ITT Corporation Retirement Savings Plan) or, if earlier, (B) the date the Optionee attains age 65.
Disability. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Disability” shall mean the complete and permanent inability of the Optionee to perform all of his or her duties under the terms of his or her employment, as determined by the Committee upon the basis of such evidence, including independent medical reports and data, as the Committee deems appropriate or necessary.





(g)
Compliance with Laws and Regulations. The Option shall not be exercised at any time when its exercise or the delivery of Shares hereunder would be in violation of any law, rule, or regulation that the Company may find to be valid and applicable.
(h)
Non-Competition, Non-Solicitation and Non-Disparagement. In consideration of the Company entering into this Agreement with the Optionee, the Optionee agrees that throughout his or her term of employment with the Company and for a period of twelve (12) months following the Optionee’s date of termination with the Company, the Optionee shall not, directly or indirectly, divert or attempt to divert or assist others in diverting any business of the Company by soliciting, contacting or communicating with any customer or supplier of the Company with whom the Optionee has direct or indirect contact or upon termination of employment has had direct or indirect contact during the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding the Optionee’s date of termination with the Company. The Optionee further agrees that for a period of twelve (12) months following his or her date of termination with the Company the Optionee shall not, directly or indirectly, solicit, induce, attempt to induce or assist others in attempting to induce any employee of the Company with whom the Optionee has worked or had material contact with, during the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding the termination of the Optionee’s employment, to leave the employment of the Company or a subsidiary of the Company or to accept employment or affiliation with any other company or firm of which the Optionee becomes an employee, owner, partner or consultant. The Optionee agrees that throughout his or her term of employment with the Company and for a period of twelve (12) months following the Optionee’s date of termination that the Optionee will not make any statements, orally or in writing, cause to be published or in any way disseminate any information concerning the Company or any subsidiaries of the Company concerning the Company’s business, business operations or business practices that in any way, in form or substance, harms, disparages or otherwise casts an unfavorable light upon the Company or any subsidiaries of the Company or upon any of their reputations or standing in the business community or the community as a whole.
(i)
Optionee Bound by Plan and Rules. The Optionee hereby acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan and this Agreement and agrees to be bound by the terms and provisions thereof as amended from time to time. The Optionee agrees to be bound by any rules and regulations for administering the Plan as may be adopted by the Committee during the life of the Option.

Terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall be as defined in the Plan.
(j)
Governing Law. This Agreement is issued, and the Option evidenced hereby is granted, in White Plains, New York, and shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, excluding any conflicts or choice of law rule or principle that might otherwise refer construction or interpretation of this Agreement to the substantive law of another jurisdiction.
(k)
Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement that is determined to be invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without rendering invalid or unenforceable the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction and such invalid or unenforceable provision shall be modified by such court so that it is enforceable to the extent permitted by applicable law.

10.03 2014 Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement


EXHIBIT 10.03

ITT CORPORATION
2011 OMNIBUS INCENTIVE PLAN
RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”), effective as of the 4th day of March, 2014, by and between ITT Corporation. (the “Company”) and _______________ (the “Grantee”), WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, the Grantee is now employed by the Company or an Affiliate (as defined in the Company’s 2011 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”)) as an employee, and in recognition of the Grantee’s valued services, the Company, through the Compensation and Personnel Committee of its Board of Directors (the “Committee”), desires to provide an inducement to remain in service of the Company and as an incentive for increased efforts during such service pursuant to the provisions of the Plan.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the provisions of the Plan, a copy of which is attached hereto and incorporated herein as part of this Agreement, and any administrative rules and regulations related to the Plan as may be adopted by the Committee, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
1.
Grant of Restricted Stock Units. In accordance with, and subject to, the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement, the Company hereby confirms the grant on March 4, 2014 (the “Grant Date”) to the Grantee of _______________ Restricted Stock Units. The Restricted Stock Units are notional units of measurement denominated in Shares of common stock (i.e., one Restricted Stock Unit is equivalent in value to one share of common stock). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the number of Restricted Stock Units awarded hereunder may be reduced in the event that the Participant terminates with the Company due to Normal Retirement at any time within the twelve (12) month period beginning on the Grant Date. In such an event, the number of Restricted Stock Units for all purposes under this Agreement shall thereafter equal the number of Restricted Stock Units granted herein multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of full months in such twelve (12) month period that were completed before the Participant’s termination and the denominator of which is 12.
The Restricted Stock Units represent an unfunded, unsecured right to receive Shares (and dividend equivalent payments pursuant Section 2(b) hereof) in the future if the conditions set forth in the Plan and this Agreement are satisfied.
2.
Terms and Conditions. It is understood and agreed that the Restricted Stock Units are subject to the following terms and conditions:
(a)
Restrictions. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan and this Agreement, neither this Award nor any Restricted Stock Units subject to this Award may be sold, assigned, pledged, exchanged, transferred, hypothecated or encumbered, other than to the Company as a result of forfeiture of the Restricted Stock Units.
(b)
Voting and Dividend Equivalent Rights. The Grantee shall not have any privileges of a stockholder of the Company with respect to the Restricted Stock Units or any Shares that may be delivered hereunder, including without limitation any right to vote such Shares or to receive dividends. Dividend equivalents shall be earned with respect to each Restricted Stock Unit that vests. The amount of dividend equivalents earned with respect to each such Restricted Stock Unit that vests shall be equal to the total dividends declared on a Share where the record date of the dividend is between the Grant Date of this Award and the date a Share is issued upon vesting of the Restricted Stock Unit. Any dividend equivalents earned shall be paid in cash to the Grantee when the Shares subject to the vested Restricted Stock Units are issued. No dividend equivalents shall be earned or paid with respect to any Restricted Stock Units that do not vest. Dividend equivalents shall not accrue interest.
(c)
Vesting of Restricted Stock Units and Payment. Subject to earlier vesting pursuant to subsection 2(d) below, the Restricted Stock Units shall vest (meaning the Period of Restriction shall lapse and the Restricted Stock Units shall become free of the forfeiture provisions in this Agreement) on March 4, 2017, provided the Grantee has been continuously employed by the Company or an Affiliate on a full-time basis from the Grant Date through the date the Restricted Stock Units vest. Except as provided in subsections 2(i)(i) and 2(ii)(ii) below, upon vesting of the Restricted Stock Units (including vesting pursuant to subsection 2(d) below), the Company will deliver to the Grantee (i) one Share for each





vested Restricted Stock Unit, with any fractional Shares resulting from proration pursuant to subsection 2(d)(ii) to be rounded to the nearest whole Share (with 0.5 to be rounded up) and (ii) an amount in cash attributable to any dividend equivalents earned in accordance with subsection 2(b) above, less any Shares withheld in accordance with subsection 2(e) below. For the avoidance of doubt, continuous employment of a Grantee by the Company or an Affiliate for purposes of vesting in the Restricted Stock Units granted hereunder shall include continuous employment with the Company for so long as the Grantee continues working at such entity.
(d)
Effect of Termination of Employment. If the Grantee's employment with the Company and its Affiliates is terminated for any reason and such termination constitutes a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and any related regulations or other effective guidance promulgated thereunder (“Section 409A”), any Restricted Stock Units that are not vested at the time of such separation from service shall be immediately forfeited except as follows:
(i)
Separation from Service due to Death or Disability. If the Grantee's separation from service is due to death or Disability (as defined below), the Restricted Stock Units shall immediately become 100% vested as of such separation from service. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Disability” shall mean the complete and permanent inability of the Grantee to perform all of his or her duties under the terms of his or her employment, as determined by the Committee upon the basis of such evidence, including independent medical reports and data, as the Committee deems appropriate or necessary.
(ii)
Separation from Service due to Early Retirement or Separation from Service by the Company for Other than Cause. If the Grantee's separation from service is due to Early Retirement (as defined below) or an involuntary separation from service by the Company (or an Affiliate, as the case may be) for other than Cause, a prorated portion of the Restricted Stock Units shall immediately vest as of such separation from service. For these purposes,
(A)
the prorated portion of the Restricted Stock Units shall be determined by multiplying the total number of Restricted Stock Units subject to this Award by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of full months during which the Grantee has been continually employed since the Grant Date (not to exceed 36 in the aggregate) and the denominator of which is 36 (for avoidance of doubt, the period during which the Grantee may receive severance in the form of salary continuation or otherwise shall not affect the determination of the date of the Grantee’s separation from service or the date of delivery of any Shares or dividend equivalent payments); and
(B)
full months of employment shall be based on monthly anniversaries of the Grant Date, not calendar months.
For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Early Retirement” shall mean any termination of the Grantee’s employment after the date the Grantee attains age 55 and completes 10 or more years of Effective Service (as such term is defined in the ITT Corporation Retirement Savings Plan). The term “Cause” shall means “cause” as defined in any employment agreement then in effect between the Grantee and the Company, or if not defined therein, or if there is no such agreement, the Grantee’s (a) embezzlement, misappropriation of corporate funds, or other material acts of dishonesty; (b) commission or conviction of any felony, or of any misdemeanor involving moral turpitude, or entry of a plea of guilty or nolo contendere to any felony or misdemeanor; (c) engagement in any activity that the Grantee knows or should know could harm the business or reputation of the Company or an affiliate; (d) material failure to adhere to the Company’s or its subsidiaries’ or affiliates’ corporate codes, policies or procedures as in effect from time to time; (e) willful failure to perform the Grantee’s assigned duties, repeated absenteeism or tardiness, insubordination, or the refusal or failure to comply with the directions or instructions of the Grantee’s supervisor, as determined by the Company or an affiliate; (f) violation of any statutory, contractual, or common law duty or obligation to the Company or an affiliate, including, without limitation, the duty of loyalty; (g) the Grantee’s violation of any of the applicable provisions of subsection 2(h) of this Agreement; or (h) material breach of any confidentiality or non-competition covenant entered into between the Grantee and the Company or an affiliate. The determination of the existence of Cause shall be made by the Company in good faith, and such determination shall be conclusive for purposes of this Agreement.
(iii)
Separation from Service Due to Normal Retirement. If the Grantee’s separation from service is due to Normal Retirement (as defined below), the Grantee’s Restricted Stock Units will continue to vest in accordance with the vesting provisions of subsection 2(c) above, but only if the Grantee satisfies the applicable provisions set forth in subsection 2(h) below after such





separation from service. If the Grantee violates the aforementioned provisions, the Grantee shall forfeit any remaining unvested Restricted Stock Units. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Normal Retirement” shall mean any termination of the Grantee’s employment after (A) the date the Grantee attains age 62 and completes 10 or more years of Effective Service (as such term is defined in the ITT Corporation Retirement Savings Plan) or, if earlier, (B) the date the Grantee attains age 65.
(iv)
Separation from Service After an Acceleration Event. If the Grantee’s employment is terminated on or within two (2) years after an Acceleration Event (A) by the Company (or an Affiliate, as the case may be) for other than Cause, as defined herein, and not because of the Grantee’s Early or Normal Retirement, Disability, or death, or (B) by the Grantee because of Good Reason, then any unvested Restricted Stock Units shall immediately become 100% vested. For this purpose, the term “Good Reason” shall mean (i) without the Grantee’s express written consent and excluding for this purpose an isolated, insubstantial and inadvertent action not taken in bad faith and which is remedied by the Company or its affiliates within 30 days after receipt of notice thereof given by the Grantee, (a) a reduction in the Grantee’s annual base compensation (whether or not deferred), (b) the assignment to the Grantee of any duties inconsistent in any material respect with the Grantee’s position (including status, offices, titles and reporting requirements), authority, duties or responsibilities, or (c) any other action by the Company or its affiliates that results in a material diminution in such position, authority, duties or responsibilities; or (ii) without the Grantee’s express written consent, the Company’s requiring the Grantee’s primary work location to be other than within twenty-five (25) miles of the location where the Grantee was principally working immediately prior to the Acceleration Event; provided, that “Good Reason” shall cease to exist for an event on the 90th day following the later of its occurrence or the Grantee’s knowledge thereof, unless the Grantee has given the Company notice thereof prior to such date.
(e)
Tax Withholding. In accordance with Article 15 of the Plan, the Company may make such provisions and take such actions as it may deem necessary for the withholding of all applicable taxes attributable to the Restricted Stock Units and any related dividend equivalents. Unless the Committee determines otherwise, the minimum statutory tax withholding required to be withheld upon delivery of the Shares and payment of dividend equivalents shall be satisfied by withholding a number of Shares having an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the minimum statutory tax required to be withheld. If such withholding would result in a fractional Share being withheld, the number of Shares so withheld shall be rounded up to the nearest whole Share. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Grantee may elect to satisfy such tax withholding requirements by timely remittance of such amount by cash or check or such other method that is acceptable to the Company, rather than by withholding of Shares, provided such election is made in accordance with such conditions and restrictions as the Company may establish. If FICA taxes are required to be withheld while the Award is outstanding, such withholding shall be made in a manner determined by the Company.
(f)
Grantee Bound by Plan and Rules. The Grantee hereby acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan and this Agreement and agrees to be bound by the terms and provisions thereof. The Grantee agrees to be bound by any rules and regulations for administering the Plan as may be adopted by the Committee prior to the date the Restricted Stock Units vest. The Committee shall be authorized to make all necessary interpretations concerning the provisions of this Agreement and the proper application of those provisions to particular fact patterns, including but not limited to the basis for the Grantee’s termination of employment, and any such interpretation shall be final. Terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall be as defined in the Plan.
(g)
Governing Law. This Agreement is issued, and the Restricted Stock Units evidenced hereby are granted, in White Plains, New York, and shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, excluding any conflicts or choice of law rule or principle that might otherwise refer construction or interpretation of this Agreement to the substantive law of another jurisdiction.
(h)
Non-Competition, Non-Solicitation and Non-Disparagement. In consideration of the Company entering into this Agreement with the Grantee, the Grantee agrees that throughout his or her term of employment with the Company and for a period of twelve (12) months following the Grantee’s date of termination with the Company, the Grantee shall not, directly or indirectly, divert or attempt to divert or assist others in diverting any business of the Company by soliciting, contacting or communicating with any customer or supplier of the Company with whom the Grantee has direct or indirect contact or upon termination of employment has had direct or indirect contact during the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding the Grantee’s date of termination with the Company. The Grantee further agrees that for a period of twelve (12) months following his or her date of termination with the





Company the Grantee shall not, directly or indirectly, solicit, induce, attempt to induce or assist others in attempting to induce any employee of the Company with whom the Grantee has worked or had material contact with, during the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding the termination of the Grantee’s employment, to leave the employment of the Company or a subsidiary of the Company or to accept employment or affiliation with any other company or firm of which the Grantee becomes an employee, owner, partner or consultant. The Grantee agrees that throughout his or her term of employment with the Company and for a period of twelve (12) months following the Grantee’s date of termination that the Grantee will not make any statements, orally or in writing, cause to be published or in any way disseminate any information concerning the Company or any subsidiaries of the Company concerning the Company’s business, business operations or business practices that in any way, in form or substance, harms, disparages or otherwise casts an unfavorable light upon the Company or any subsidiaries of the Company or upon any of their reputations or standing in the business community or the community as a whole.    
(i)
Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement that is determined to be invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without rendering invalid or unenforceable the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction and such invalid or unenforceable provision shall be modified by such court so that it is enforceable to the extent permitted by applicable law.
(j)
Section 409A Compliance. To the extent applicable, it is intended that the Plan and this Agreement comply with the requirements of Section 409A, and the Plan and this Agreement shall be interpreted accordingly.
(i)
If it is determined that all or a portion of the Award constitutes deferred compensation for purposes of Section 409A, and if the Grantee is a “specified employee,” as defined in Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, at the time of the Grantee’s separation from service, then, to the extent required under Section 409A, any Shares that would otherwise be distributed (along with the cash value of all dividend equivalents that would be payable) upon the Grantee’s separation from service, shall instead be delivered (and, in the case of the dividend equivalents, paid) on the earlier of (x) the first business day of the seventh month following the date of the Grantee’s separation from service or (y) the Grantee’s death.
(ii)
It is intended that this Agreement shall comply with the provisions of Section 409A, or an exception to Section 409A, to the extent applicable, so as not to subject the Grantee to the payment of interest and taxes under Section 409A. Accordingly, any payments to be made upon a vesting event (i.e., the expiration of the Period of Restriction) under this Agreement shall be made no later than March 15th of the year after the year in which the Period of Restriction expires. Further, any reference to termination of employment, Early Retirement, Normal Retirement, separation from service, or similar terms under this Agreement shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with the definition of “separation from service” under Section 409A.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this instrument to be executed by its Chief Executive Officer and President, or a Vice President, as of the 4th day of March, 2014.
