FORWARD-LOOKING AND CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS

Some of the information included herein includes forward-looking statements intended to qualify for the safe harbor from liability established by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements are not historical facts, but rather are based on current expectations, estimates, assumptions and projections about our business, future financial results and the industry in which we operate, and other legal, regulatory and economic developments. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, future strategic plans and other statements that describe the company’s business strategy, outlook, objectives, plans, intentions or goals, and any discussion of future events and future operating or financial performance.

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

Where in any forward-looking statement we express an expectation or belief as to future results or events, such expectation or belief is based on current plans and expectations of our management, expressed in good faith and believed to have a reasonable basis. However, there can be no assurance that the expectation or belief will occur or that anticipated results will be achieved or accomplished.

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


•	uncertainties regarding our exposure to pending and future asbestos claims and related liabilities and insurance recoveries;


•	uncertain global economic and capital markets conditions, including trade disputes between the U.S. and its trading partners;


•	risks due to our operations and sales outside the U.S. and in emerging markets;


•	fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates;


•	fluctuations in customers’ levels of capital investment and maintenance expenditures, especially in the oil and gas, chemical, and mining markets;


•	failure to compete successfully in our markets;


•	the extent to which there are quality problems with respect to manufacturing processes or finished goods;


•	failure to integrate acquired businesses or achieve expected benefits from such acquisitions;


•	risks related to government contracting, including changes in levels of government spending and regulatory and contractual requirements applicable to sales to the U.S. government;


•	volatility in raw material prices and our suppliers’ ability to meet quality and delivery requirements;


•	failure to manage the distribution of products and services effectively;


•	loss of or decrease in sales from our most significant customer;


•	fluctuations in our effective tax rate;


•	failure to retain existing senior management, engineering and other key personnel and attract and retain new qualified personnel;


•	failure to protect our intellectual property rights or violations of the intellectual property rights of others;


•	the risk of material business interruptions, particularly at our manufacturing facilities;


•	the risk of cybersecurity breaches;


•	changes in laws relating to the use and transfer of personal and other information;


•	failure of portfolio management strategies, including cost-saving initiatives, to meet expectations;


•	fluctuations in the level of returns on our postretirement benefit plans;


•	changes in environmental laws or regulations, discovery of previously unknown or more extensive contamination, or the failure of a potentially responsible party to perform;


•	failure to comply with the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act or other applicable anti-corruption legislation, export controls and trade sanctions, including recently announced tariffs;


•	risk of product liability claims and litigation; and


•	risk of liabilities from past divestitures and spin-offs.

More information on factors that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from those anticipated is included in our reports filed with the SEC, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 (particularly under the caption “Risk Factors”), our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and in other documents we file from time to time with the SEC.

The forward-looking statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this Report) speak only as of the date of this Report. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Description of Business

ITT Inc. is a diversified manufacturer of highly engineered critical components and customized technology solutions for the transportation, industrial, and oil and gas markets. Unless the context otherwise indicates, references herein to “ITT,” “the Company,” and such words as “we,” “us,” and “our” include ITT Inc. and its subsidiaries. ITT operates through three segments: Motion Technologies, consisting of friction, shock and vibration equipment; Industrial Process, consisting of industrial flow equipment and services; and Connect & Control Technologies, consisting of electronic connectors, fluid handling, motion control and noise and energy absorption products. Financial information for our segments is presented in Note 3, Segment Information.

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC and, in the opinion of management, reflect all known adjustments (which consist primarily of normal, recurring accruals, estimates and assumptions) necessary to state fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented. The Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2018, presented herein, has been derived from our audited balance sheet included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K (the 2018 Annual Report) for the year ended December 31, 2018 but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. We consistently applied the accounting policies described in the 2018 Annual Report in preparing these unaudited financial statements, other than those related to new accounting standards adopted during the period. Refer to Note 2, Recent Accounting Pronouncements for further information. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in our 2018 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 assets, allowance for doubtful accounts and inventory valuation. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

ITT’s quarterly financial periods end on the Saturday that is 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.

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

The Company considers the applicability and impact of all accounting standard updates (ASUs). ASUs not listed below were assessed and determined to be either not applicable or are expected to have minimal impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted

Leases (ASU 2016-02)

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued new guidance which updated the accounting for leases in order to increase transparency and comparability of organizations by requiring balance sheet presentation of leased assets and increased financial statement disclosure of leasing arrangements. The new standard requires entities to recognize a liability for their lease obligations and a corresponding right-of-use asset, initially measured at the present value of the lease payments. Subsequent accounting depends on whether

the agreement is deemed to be a financing or operating lease. For operating leases, a lessee recognizes its total lease expense as an operating expense over the lease term. For financing leases, a lessee recognizes amortization of the right-of-use asset as an operating expense over the lease term separately from interest on the lease liability. The ASU requires that assets and liabilities be presented and disclosed separately and the liabilities must be classified appropriately as current and noncurrent. The ASU further requires additional disclosure of certain qualitative and quantitative information related to lease agreements. The ASU was effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2019, at which time we adopted the new standard using the modified retrospective approach as of the date of adoption. The Company elected to not reassess certain lease characteristics including whether expired or certain existing contracts contain leases, the lease classification prior to adoption, and initial direct costs. Upon adoption, we recognized a right-of-use asset of $80.0 (net of deferred rent of $3.4 previously included within Accrued liabilities and Other non-current liabilities) and a lease liability of $83.4 related to existing leases of real estate, vehicles, and other equipment that are classified as operating leases, and have terms greater than 12 months. The right-of-use asset is included within Other non-current assets and the lease liabilities are included within Accrued liabilities and Other non-current liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. A summary of the impact to our Consolidated Balance Sheet on January 1, 2019 is as follows:



	December 31, 2018		Effect of Change		January 1, 2019
Other non-current assets	$	196.8	$	80.0	$	276.8
Accrued liabilities	416.7		18.7		435.4
Other non-current liabilities	166.5		61.3		227.8

Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities (ASU 2017-12)

In August 2017, the FASB issued amended guidance that simplifies the requirements of hedge accounting. The ASU enables companies to more accurately present the economic effects of risk management activities in the financial statements. The guidance requires the presentation of all items that affect earnings in the same income statement line as the hedged item and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those fiscal years with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2017-12 on January 1, 2019. The adoption did not result in an impact to our financial results since the Company did not have any derivatives outstanding at the time of adoption. As of September 30, 2019, the U.S. dollar equivalent notional value of the Company’s outstanding foreign currency forward contracts designated for hedge accounting was $4.7 and the fair value was nominal.

Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects From Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (ASU 2018-02)

In February 2018, the FASB issued guidance related to the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the Tax Act), which permits an optional reclassification of residual tax effects that are included within accumulated other comprehensive loss, to retained earnings. The reclassification represents the difference between the amount recorded in other comprehensive loss at the historical U.S. federal tax rate at the time the Tax Act became effective, and the amount that would have been recorded at the newly enacted rate. This guidance became effective during the first quarter of 2019, however we did not elect to make the optional reclassification.

Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (ASU 2016-13)

In June 2016, the FASB issued updated guidance that requires entities to use a current expected credit loss model to measure credit-related impairments for financial instruments held at amortized cost, including trade receivables. The current expected credit loss model is based on relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect collectability. Current expected credit losses, and subsequent adjustments, represent an estimate of lifetime expected credit losses that are recorded as an allowance deducted from the amortized cost of the financial instrument. The updated guidance is effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2020 and will be adopted using a modified retrospective transition approach. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of adoption on our financial statements.

Contract Assets and Liabilities

Contract assets consist of unbilled amounts where revenue recognized exceeds customer billings. Contract liabilities consist of advance payments and billings in excess of revenue recognized. The following table represents our net contract assets and liabilities as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.



	September 30, 2019				December 31, 2018				Change

RESTRUCTURING ACTIONS

The table below summarizes the restructuring costs presented within general and administrative expenses in our Consolidated Condensed Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018. We have initiated various restructuring activities throughout our businesses during the past two years, however there were no restructuring activities considered individually significant.

INCOME TAXES



	Three Months								Nine Months
For the Periods Ended September 30	2019			2018			Change		2019			2018			Change
Income tax expense	$	34.1		$	25.9		31.7	%	$	73.1		$	42.4		72.4	%
Effective tax rate	22.3		%	18.9		%	340bp		22.1		%	13.1		%	900bp

The higher effective tax rate during the third quarter of 2019 was primarily due to the 2018 release of unrecognized tax benefits of $3.4 related to audit closures and tax benefits of $1.8 in 2018 from valuation allowance reversals on deferred tax assets. The higher effective tax rate during the year-to-date period was primarily due to tax benefits of $21.6 in 2018 from German valuation allowance reversals on deferred tax assets.

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 the Czech Republic, Germany, Hong Kong, India, Italy, Japan, Mexico, the U.S. and Venezuela. The estimated tax liability calculation for unrecognized tax benefits considers uncertainties in the application of complex tax laws and regulations in various tax jurisdictions. Due to the complexity of some of these uncertainties, the ultimate resolution may result in a payment that is materially different from the current estimate of the unrecognized tax benefit. Over the next 12 months, the net amount of the tax liability for unrecognized tax benefits in foreign and domestic jurisdictions could change by approximately $14 due to changes in audit status, expiration of statutes of limitations and other events. In addition, the settlement of any future examinations relating to the 2011 and prior tax years could result in changes in amounts attributable to the Company under its Tax Matters Agreement with Exelis Inc. and Xylem Inc. relating to the Company’s 2011 spin-off of those businesses.

NOTE 14

LEASES

The Company’s lease portfolio primarily relates to real estate, which may be used for manufacturing or non-manufacturing purposes, and contains lease terms generally ranging between one and 18 years. Our lease portfolio also includes vehicles and other equipment such as forklifts. Substantially all of our leases are classified as operating leases. For leases with terms greater than 12 months, we record a right-of-use asset and lease liability equal to the present value of the lease payments. In determining the discount rate used to measure the right-of-use asset and lease liability, we utilize the Company’s incremental borrowing rate and consider the term of the lease, as well as the geographic location of the leased asset.

Where options to renew a lease are available, they are included in the lease term and capitalized on the balance sheet to the extent there would be a significant economic penalty not to elect the option. Certain real estate leases are subject to periodic changes in an index or market rate. While lease liabilities are not remeasured as a result of changes to an index or rate, these changes are treated as variable lease payments and recognized in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred. Variable lease expense also includes property tax and property insurance costs.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, operating lease costs were $6.3 and $18.6, respectively. Short-term lease costs, variable lease costs, and sublease income are not considered material.

Future operating lease payments under non-cancellable operating leases with an initial term in excess of 12 months as of September 30, 2019 are shown below.

In the third quarter of 2018, we recorded a settlement loss of $1.4 related to retiree lump sum pension payments in our Industrial Process segment.

We made contributions to our global postretirement plans of $19.7 and $9.7 during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, which included a discretionary contribution of $9 to our U.S. pension plan during 2019. We expect to make contributions of approximately $3 to $4 during the remainder of 2019, principally related to our other employee-related benefit plans.

Amortization from accumulated other comprehensive income into earnings related to prior service cost and net actuarial loss was $0.6 and $2.1, and $1.7 and $4.3, net of tax, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. No other reclassifications from accumulated other comprehensive income into earnings were recognized during any of the presented periods.

LONG-TERM INCENTIVE EMPLOYEE COMPENSATION

Our long-term incentive plan (LTIP) costs are primarily recorded within general and administrative expenses. The following table provides the components of LTIP costs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018.



	Three Months				Nine Months
For the Periods Ended September 30	2019		2018		2019		2018
Equity-based awards	$	3.9	$	6.7	$	12.3	$	16.9
Liability-based awards	0.3		0.9		1.7		1.7
Total share-based compensation expense	$	4.2	$	7.6	$	14.0	$	18.6

At September 30, 2019, there was $21.3 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested equity awards. This cost is expected to be recognized ratably over a weighted-average period of 1.9 years. Additionally, unrecognized compensation cost related to liability-based awards was $1.8, which is expected to be recognized ratably over a weighted-average period of 1.5 years.

Year-to-Date 2019 LTIP Activity

The majority of our LTIP awards are granted during the first quarter of each year and vest on the completion of a three-year service period. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we granted the following LTIP awards as provided in the table below:

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, 0.3 and 0.2 of non-qualified stock options were exercised resulting in proceeds of $11.6 and $5.8, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, RSUs of 0.2 vested and were issued. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, PSUs of 0.2 and 0.1 that vested on December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, were issued.

NOTE 18

CAPITAL STOCK

On October 27, 2006, our Board of Directors approved a three-year, $1 billion share repurchase program, which it modified in 2008 to make the term indefinite. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, we repurchased and retired 0.5 and 1.0 shares of common stock for $28.7 and $50.0, respectively, under this program. To date, the Company has repurchased 22.7 shares for $938.1 under this program. On October 30, 2019, the Board of Directors approved a new $40 share repurchase authorization to effectively close out the current share repurchase program and approved a new indefinite term $500 share repurchase program.

Separate from the share repurchase program, the Company repurchased 0.2 and 0.1 shares during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, for an aggregate price of $9.6 and $5.8, respectively, in settlement of employee tax withholding obligations due upon the vesting of RSUs and PSUs.

NOTE 20

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 asbestos and 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 defend vigorously against all 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

Subsidiaries of ITT, including ITT LLC and Goulds Pumps LLC, have been sued, along with many other companies in product liability lawsuits alleging personal injury due to asbestos exposure. These claims generally allege that certain products sold by our 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 September 30, 2019, there were approximately 24 thousand pending claims against ITT subsidiaries, including Goulds Pumps LLC, 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:



Pending claims – Beginning	24
New claims	3
Settlements	(1	)
Dismissals	(2	)
Pending claims – Ending	24

Frequently, plaintiffs are unable to identify any ITT LLC or Goulds Pumps LLC products as a source of asbestos exposure. Our experience to date is that a majority of resolved claims are dismissed without any payment from ITT subsidiaries. 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 a 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 of this and other factors, 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 variables and uncertainties inherent in the long-term projection of the Company’s asbestos exposures, while it is probable that the Company will incur additional costs for asbestos claims filed beyond the next 10 years, which additional costs may be material, 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 difficult 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 Costs/Benefit

In the third quarter of each year, we conduct our annual remeasurement with the assistance of outside consultants in order 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.

Based on the results of this study, in the third quarter of 2019, we decreased our estimated undiscounted asbestos liability, including legal fees, by $4.5, reflecting a decrease in costs the company estimates will be incurred to resolve all pending claims, as well as unasserted claims estimated to be filed over the next 10 years. The decrease in our estimated liability is a result of several developments, primarily favorable experience in dismissal rates and a decrease in the number of cases expected to be adjudicated, partially offset by an increase in settlement values. Further, in the third quarter of 2019, the Company increased its estimated asbestos-related assets by $63.6, primarily due to an increase in insurance recoveries since a recent favorable court ruling.

In addition to the charges associated with our annual remeasurement, we record a net asbestos charge each quarter to maintain a rolling 10-year forecast period. The table below summarizes the total net asbestos charges for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018.



	Three Months						Nine Months
For the Periods Ended September 30	2019			2018			2019			2018

(a)	During 2018, we entered into a settlement agreement and a settlement-in-principle with insurers to settle responsibility for multiple insurance claims. Under the terms of the agreements, the insurers agreed to upfront payments to a Qualified Settlement Fund for past costs in addition to providing coverage for certain future asbestos claims on specified terms and conditions.

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 $420.7 and $472.6 as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

The following table provides a rollforward of the estimated asbestos liability and related assets for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018.

(a)	Includes certain administrative costs such as legal-related costs for insurance asset recoveries.

Environmental Matters

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 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 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 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 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018.



For the Nine Months Ended September 30	2019			2018
Environmental liability - beginning balance	$	66.8		$	73.9

Environmental liability - ending balance	$	62.4		$	64.8


(a)	Includes cash payments of $9.7 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 related to the sale of a former operating location.

Environmental-related assets, representing estimated recoveries from insurance providers and other third parties, were $22.1 and $23.3 as of September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

We are currently involved with 29 active environmental investigation and remediation sites. At September 30, 2019, we have estimated the potential high-end liability range of environmental-related matters to be $109.0.

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

In the second quarter of 2019, the Company settled a civil matter with the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) related to an investigation that began in 2015 involving certain connector products manufactured by the Company’s Connect & Control Technologies segment that are purchased or used by the U.S. government. The Company paid $11 to DOJ, acting on behalf of the U.S. government, to settle this matter and avoid the expense and uncertainty of litigation. The Company also received a related insurance recovery of $1.

NOTE 21

ACQUISITIONS

Rheinhütte Pumpen Group (Rheinhütte)

On April 30, 2019, we completed the acquisition of 100% of the privately held stock of Rheinhütte for a purchase price of €81 euros, net of cash acquired. The transaction was funded from the Company’s cash and European commercial paper program. The purchase price is subject to change based on customary net working capital adjustments. Rheinhütte, with 2018 revenue of approximately €61.5 euros and approximately 430 employees, has manufacturing locations in Germany and Brazil. Rheinhütte is a designer and manufacturer of highly engineered pumps suited for harsh and corrosive environments for the industrial market. Rheinhütte is reported within the Industrial Process segment.

Matrix Composites, Inc. (Matrix)

On July 3, 2019, we completed the acquisition of 100% of the privately held stock of Matrix for a purchase price of $25.8, net of cash acquired, that is subject to change based on customary net working capital adjustments. The transaction was funded from the Company’s cash. Matrix, a manufacturer of precision composite components within the aerospace and defense market, had 2018 revenue of approximately $12 with growth expected due to a ramp up in production on several next-generation aircraft engine platforms. Matrix has approximately 115 employees and is reported within the Connect & Control Technologies segment.

The purchase prices for Rheinhütte and Matrix were allocated to net assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their preliminary fair values as of the respective acquisition date, with the excess of the purchase price of $36.6 and $8.7 recorded as goodwill, respectively. Other intangibles identified for Rheinhütte include customer relationships, proprietary technology and trade names. Preliminary intangible assets for Matrix consist of customer relationships. The primary areas of the purchase price allocations that are not yet finalized relate to the valuation of certain tangible and intangible assets, liabilities, income tax, and residual goodwill. For each acquisition, we expect to obtain the information necessary to finalize the fair value of the net assets and liabilities during the measurement period, not to exceed one year from the relevant acquisition date. Changes to the preliminary estimates of the fair value during the measurement period will be recorded as adjustments to those assets and liabilities with a corresponding adjustment to goodwill in the period they occur. The goodwill arising from these acquisitions is not expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

Further details related to these results are contained elsewhere in the Discussion of Financial Results section. Refer to the section titled “Key Performance Indicators and Non-GAAP Measures” for a definition and reconciliations between GAAP and non-GAAP metrics.

Our third quarter 2019 results include:


•	Revenue of $711.9 increased $31.3, or 4.6%. Excluding an unfavorable foreign currency impact of $15.6 and revenue of $22.6 from our acquisitions of Rheinhütte and Matrix, organic revenue increased 3.6%, driven by the strength of our diversified portfolio as industrial grew 10% and transportation grew 2%, more than offsetting a 5% decline in oil and gas.

•

Orders of $702.1 decreased $20.0, or 2.8%. Excluding unfavorable foreign currency of $16.0, and orders of $22.8 from the Rheinhütte and Matrix acquisitions, organic orders decreased 3.7%. The decrease was driven mainly by a decline in pump projects due to project delays and difficult prior year comparisons and slower industrial demand. Transportation orders were flat as strong growth in rail and commercial aerospace was offset by lower defense orders due to program timing. Compared to the second quarter of 2019, third quarter organic orders were flat.

•

Operating income of $152.5 increased $14.7, or 10.7%, as a higher net asbestos benefit of $52 primarily driven by our annual remeasurement, was partially offset by a $38 gain in the prior year from the sale of a former operating location. Segment operating income declined 1.0% to $107.1, reflecting a margin of 15.0%, which included higher restructuring and acquisition-related costs of $11.2. Adjusted segment operating income grew 10% to $117.9 and produced a margin of 16.6% from continued productivity and supply chain improvements and cost containment actions, as well as benefits from volume leverage. The growth was partially offset by higher commodity costs, strategic investments, unfavorable product mix and tariffs.


•	Income from continuing operations of $1.34 per diluted share increased $0.09, due to higher operating income, partially offset by an increase in tax expense. Adjusted income from continuing operations was $0.97 per diluted share, reflecting a $0.15, or 18.3%, increase from the prior year.

In terms of capital deployment, during the third quarter we returned $18 to shareholders in the form of share repurchases and recently our Board of Directors approved a $40 share repurchase authorization to effectively close out our current $1 billion share repurchase program. In addition, the Board of Directors approved a new indefinite term $500 share repurchase program. Earlier this year, we also completed two close-to-core strategic acquisitions that were already accretive to adjusted EPS and will continue to pursue opportunities going forward. Additionally, we are investing in a new CCT plating line, Value Analysis and Value Engineering to improve pump performance and reduce costs in IP, and the development of the ITT Smart Pad in MT along with the expansion of our global production facility in Mexico.

(a)	See the section titled “Key Performance Indicators and Non-GAAP Measures” for a definition and reconciliation of organic revenue and organic orders.

Motion Technologies (MT)

MT revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 decreased $5.8, or 1.9%, and $45.4, or 4.6%, respectively. Excluding the impact of foreign currency translation of $11.2 and $50.5 for the three and nine month periods, organic revenue increased $5.4 and $5.1, respectively. This performance was driven by strength in global rail as well as Friction OEM share gains which significantly outpaced the global auto market, offset by a decline in our Wolverine business. KONI & Axtone sales grew 11% and 12%, for the three and nine month periods, respectively, on strength in rail in Europe and Asia. Friction sales increased 2% and 1%, for the three and nine month periods, respectively, due to OEM market share gains in North America, Europe and China which helped offset contraction in the global auto market and lower aftermarket activity. Wolverine sales decreased 9% and 14% during the three and nine month periods due to weakness in global auto markets and customer share loss.

Orders for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 decreased $5.2, or 1.7%, and $59.3, or 5.9%, respectively. Excluding unfavorable foreign currency translation impacts of $11.6 and $53.7, respectively, organic orders increased $6.4, or 2.0% during the third quarter of 2019, but decreased $5.6, or 0.6% year-to-date. Excluding a prior year Russian rail order of $14, MT year-to-date organic orders increased $8.4, or 0.8%. In 2019, global rail market share gains were partially offset by weakness in our Wolverine business.

Industrial Process (IP)

IP revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 increased $35.3, or 17.2%, and $90.6, or 15.2%, respectively, which included revenue of $18.4 and $26.3, from our second quarter acquisition of Rheinhütte, and an unfavorable foreign currency translation impact of $3.4 and $11.4, respectively. Organic revenue for the three and nine month periods increased $20.3, or 9.9%, and $75.7, or 12.7%, respectively, driven by significant growth in pump projects.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, revenue from pump projects increased 38% and 44%, respectively, driven by strength in the chemical and mining markets primarily within North America. Within our short-cycle business, revenue for the three and nine month periods increased 2% and 5%, respectively, from baseline pumps and aftermarket parts in the oil and gas market. Revenue from our short-cycle business for the quarter was also impacted by weaker service demand.

Orders for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 decreased $6.7, or 2.8%, and $22.6, or 3.3%, which included orders of $17.5 and $27.7, respectively, from our second quarter acquisition of Rheinhütte, and an unfavorable foreign currency translation impact of $3.5 and $12.8, respectively. Organic orders decreased $20.7, or 8.6%, and $37.5, or 5.4%, respectively, for the three and nine month periods due to pump project declines of 12% and 13%, driven by project delays and difficult comparisons to the prior year in the chemical and oil and gas markets partially offset by industrial. Orders from our short-cycle business during the third quarter and year-to-date periods declined 7% and 3% due mainly to weakness in industrial valves and aftermarket parts. In addition, for the quarter there was a decline in service demand in the Middle East.

The level of order and shipment activity related to project pumps can vary significantly from period to period, which may impact year-over-year comparisons. IP’s backlog as of September 30, 2019 was $425.2, a decrease of $19.0, or 4.3%, compared to December 31, 2018.

Connect & Control Technologies (CCT)

CCT revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2019 increased $1.9, or 1.1%, which included revenue of $4.2 from our third quarter acquisition of Matrix and an unfavorable foreign currency translation impact of $1.0. Organic revenue decreased $1.3, or 0.8% driven by lower defense component sales due to strong prior year program activity and decreases in industrial and oil and gas sales. This was partially offset by growth in commercial aerospace of 7%.

CCT revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 increased $15.1, or 3.1%, which included revenue of $4.2 from our third quarter acquisition of Matrix, and an unfavorable foreign currency translation impact of $5.1. Organic revenue increased $16.0, or 3.3% driven by growth in commercial aerospace of 12% mainly within components and aftermarket. This was partially offset by declines in defense components due to prior year programs and oil and gas due to lower activity in the Middle East and Latin America regions.

Orders for the three months ended September 30, 2019, decreased $8.0, or 4.8%, which included orders of $5.3 from our third quarter acquisition of Matrix and an unfavorable foreign currency translation impact of $0.9. Organic orders decreased $12.4, or 7.4%, due to lower defense connectors on strong prior year program activity and lower industrial orders, partially offset by an increase in commercial aerospace components of 7%.

Orders for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 decreased $8.4 or 1.6%, which included orders of $5.3 from our third quarter acquisition of Matrix and an unfavorable foreign currency translation impact of $5.5. Organic orders decreased $8.2, or 1.6%, due to weakness in the industrial market and lower rotorcraft orders. This was partially offset by commercial aerospace and defense growth.

On July 11, 2017, the U.S. Defense Logistics Agency, Land and Maritime (DLA) issued a notice that it had removed certain of our military-specification connector products from the Qualified Products List (QPL). Annual sales of these military-specification connectors were estimated to range from $8 to $10 prior to the removal of these products from the QPL. The Company is making progress as the status of approximately half of these products has been restored on the QPL and we expect the majority of the remaining products will be restored by the middle of 2020.

GROSS PROFIT

Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 was $231.3 and $226.5, reflecting a gross margin of 32.5% and 33.3%, respectively. Gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 was $682.1 and $676.7, reflecting a gross margin of 32.1% and 32.7%, respectively. The declines in gross margin were primarily due to higher commodity costs and tariffs and unfavorable product mix. These were partially offset by supply chain and productivity improvements across all segments and sales volume leverage.

OTHER

Tariffs

In 2018, the U.S. government announced tariffs on certain imported goods, and began renegotiating existing trade terms with China, Europe and other countries. These tariffs have negatively impacted the price of certain parts and materials we utilize to manufacture finished products we sell. Since announced, we have been managing the impacts of these tariffs and will attempt to mitigate the impact of higher input costs through pricing and supply chain actions, efficient utilization of our global manufacturing footprint, and supplier negotiations and diversification strategies. Tariffs and related impacts remain highly uncertain due to the current dynamic landscape and ongoing negotiations. Therefore, we are unable to estimate the ultimate outcome tariffs will have on our results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

** Resulting percentage change not considered meaningful.

General and administrative (G&A) expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2019 increased $1.5, due to higher legal and acquisition-related costs of $5.9 and restructuring costs of $5.8, partially offset by lower compensation and benefit costs of $7.2 and favorable foreign exchange of $4.0. G&A expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 decreased $9.1, due to favorable compensation and benefit costs of $13.6, European investment incentives of $5.0, and favorable foreign exchange of $5.3, which were partially offset by higher restructuring costs of $7.9 and acquisition-related costs of $5.7.

Sales and marketing expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 increased $0.8 and decreased $3.2, respectively. The three and nine month periods include incremental costs of $2.9 and $4.4, respectively, from our 2019 acquisitions of Rheinhütte and Matrix and favorable foreign currency impact of $0.6 and $2.8, respectively. Excluding these items, sales and marketing expenses decreased $1.5 and $4.8 for the three and nine month periods, respectively, primarily driven by cost reduction actions across all segments.

Research and development expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 decreased $0.4 and $1.6, respectively.

During the third quarter of 2018, we recognized a gain on sale of long-lived assets of $40.0 primarily due to the sale of a former operating location for a net gain of $38.

Asbestos-related benefit increased $51.9, and $21.3, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively. The change for the three and nine month periods was primarily due to the current year remeasurement benefit of $68.1 compared to a remeasurement cost of $7.2 in the prior year, offset by a prior year insurance settlement of $24.9. The year-to-date fluctuation also includes a $32.1 benefit from an insurance settlement recorded in the first quarter of 2018. See Note 20, Commitments and Contingencies, to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for further information.

MT operating income for the three months ended September 30, 2019 decreased $1.8, and had a margin decline of 30 basis points. Operating income for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 decreased $6.3, and had a margin improvement of 20 basis points. Operating income for both periods was unfavorably impacted by higher commodity costs and tariffs, foreign currency, and higher strategic investment. These were partially offset by supply chain, productivity and restructuring actions which provided a benefit of $12 and $33 for the quarter and year-to-date periods, respectively. In addition, the nine month period benefited from European investment incentives of $5.

IP operating income for the three months ended September 30, 2019 decreased $1.7, and had a margin decline of 240 basis points. The decrease in operating income was primarily driven by an increase in restructuring and acquisition costs, higher commodity costs and unfavorable sales mix, partially offset by favorable volume, benefits from productivity and supply chain actions, and project execution. Operating income for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 increased $6.2, and had a margin decline of 50 basis points. The increase in operating income was primarily driven by favorable volume, price, and savings from productivity and supply chain actions, which more than offset higher commodity costs and tariffs, unfavorable sales mix, and higher restructuring and acquisition costs.

CCT operating income for the three months ended September 30, 2019 increased $2.4, and had a margin improvement of 120 basis points. CCT operating income for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 increased $9.1, and had a margin improvement of 140 basis points. The increase was driven by benefits from productivity, supply chain, and restructuring actions, which were partially offset by unfavorable commodity costs, strategic investments, and sales mix.

Other corporate costs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 decreased $1.9 and $7.6, respectively. The decline in corporate costs for the three month period reflects lower compensation costs which included savings from cost reduction actions, partially offset by higher legal costs. The decline in corporate costs for the nine month period reflects lower compensation costs which included cost reduction actions as well as lower environmental costs.

LIQUIDITY

Funding and Liquidity Strategy

We monitor our funding needs and design and execute strategies 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, capital expenditures, dividends and financing requirements through cash flows from operations and cash on hand, or by accessing the U.S. or European commercial paper markets or our Revolving Credit Agreement.

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 our global liquidity needs in a cost-efficient manner. We plan to transfer cash between certain international subsidiaries and the U.S. and other international subsidiaries when it is cost effective to do so. The passage of the Tax Act provides greater flexibility around our global cash management strategy related to the amount and timing of transfers, and we will continue to support growth and expansion in markets outside of the U.S. through the development of products, increased capital spending, and potential foreign acquisitions. During the year ended December 31, 2018, we had net cash distributions from foreign countries to the U.S. of $318.1. Net cash distributions from foreign countries to the U.S. during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $11.4. The timing and amount of any additional future distributions 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 of Directors deems relevant. Therefore, there can be no assurance as to what level of dividends, if any, will be paid in the future. Through the third quarter of 2019, we declared dividends of $0.147 per share for shareholders of record on March 11, 2019, June 10, 2019 and September 10, 2019. The dividends declared in 2019 of $39.0 were a 9.6% increase from dividends declared in 2018.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, we repurchased and retired 0.5 and 1.0 shares of common stock for $28.7 and $50.0, respectively, under our $1 billion share repurchase program. To date, under the program, the Company has repurchased 22.7 shares for $938.1. In addition, on October 30, 2019, the Board of Directors approved a new $40 share repurchase authorization to effectively close out our current $1 billion share repurchase program and approved the adoption of a new indefinite term $500 share repurchase program.

Significant factors that affect our overall management of liquidity include our credit ratings, the availability of commercial paper, access to 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.

Commercial Paper

We have access to the commercial paper market through programs in place in the U.S. and Europe to supplement cash flows generated internally and 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 September 30, 2019, we had outstanding commercial paper of $120.3 through our European program. The average outstanding commercial paper balance during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $129.8. There have been no other material changes that have impacted our funding and liquidity capabilities since December 31, 2018.

Revolving Credit Agreement

Our $500 revolving credit agreement (the Revolving Credit Agreement) provides for increases of up to $200 for a possible maximum total of $700 in aggregate principal amount, at the request of the Company and with the consent of the institutions providing such increased commitments. The Revolving Credit Agreement is intended to provide access to additional liquidity and be a source of alternate funding to 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 provisions of the Revolving Credit Agreement require that we maintain an interest coverage ratio, as defined therein, of at least 3.0 and a leverage ratio, as defined therein, of not more than 3.0. Our interest coverage ratio and leverage ratio were within the prescribed thresholds as of September 30, 2019, and as of that date there were no outstanding borrowings under our Revolving Credit Agreement. In the event of a ratings downgrade of the Company to a level below investment grade, the direct and indirect significant U.S. subsidiaries of the Company would be required to guarantee the obligations under the Revolving Credit Agreement. The Revolving Credit Agreement matures in November 2021.

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 from discontinued operations, for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018.



For the Nine Months Ended September 30	2019			2018
Operating activities	$	221.7		$	246.6
Investing activities	(180.8		)	(21.1		)
Financing activities	(36.9		)	(76.2		)
Foreign exchange	(10.6		)	(11.4		)
Total net cash flow (used in) provided by continuing operations	(6.6		)	137.9
Net cash provided by (used) in discontinued operations	1.1			(1.9		)
Net change in cash and cash equivalents	$	(5.5	)	$	136.0

Operating Activities

The decrease in net cash provided by operating activities was driven by $19.0 in proceeds received in 2018 from an environmental insurance-related settlement, higher income tax payments of $16.9 in 2019, a discretionary postretirement contribution of $9.0 and unfavorable changes in working capital. These items were partially offset by a decline in net asbestos and environmental payments of $22.2 and $10.2, respectively, and an increase in segment operating income. Additionally, in 2019 the Company’s net settlement of a $10 civil matter with the DOJ was partially offset by proceeds received of $9 from an intellectual property settlement.

Investing Activities

The increase in net cash used in investing activities was driven by our 2019 acquisitions of Rheinhütte and Matrix for a total of $113.1 and proceeds of $40 in 2018 from the sale of a former operating location. In addition, capital expenditures increased $5.5 compared to the prior year.

Financing Activities

The change in net cash from financing activities was driven by an increase in net borrowings of $18.7 and a decline in repurchases of ITT common stock of $17.5. In addition, proceeds from the issuance of common stock increased $5.8.

Discontinued Operations

The change in net cash from discontinued operations was primarily driven by a tax-related reimbursement of $1.8 from a former subsidiary and lower payments for environmental remediation activities.

Asbestos

Based on the estimated undiscounted asbestos liability as of September 30, 2019 for claims filed or estimated to be filed over the next 10 years, we have estimated that we will be able to recover approximately 49% of the asbestos indemnity and defense costs from our insurers. Actual insurance reimbursements may vary significantly 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 10th year of our estimate, our insurance recoveries are currently projected to be approximately 29%. 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.

While there are overall limits on the aggregate amount of insurance available to the Company with respect to asbestos claims, with respect to certain coverage, those overall limits were not reached by the estimated liability recorded by the Company at September 30, 2019.

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 2031.

Although asbestos cash outflows can vary significantly from year to year, our current net cash outflows for defense and indemnity, net of tax benefits, are projected to average $20 to $30 over the next five years and increase to an average of approximately $35 to $45 per year over the remainder of the projection period as certain insurance coverage is exhausted. Net cash outflows for defense and indemnity, net of tax, averaged $21 over the past three annual periods. Total net asbestos cash outflows also include certain administrative costs, such as legal-related costs for insurance recovery strategies not included in the defense and indemnity projections.

In light of the variables and uncertainties inherent in the long-term projection of the Company’s asbestos exposures and potential recoveries, while it is probable that the Company will incur additional costs for asbestos claims filed beyond the next 10 years, we do not believe that 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 2029.

Due to these uncertainties, as well as our inability to reasonably estimate any additional asbestos liability for claims that may be filed beyond the next 10 years, it is difficult 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.

Management reviews a variety of key performance indicators including revenue, segment operating income and margins, earnings per share, order growth, and backlog, some of which are non-GAAP financial measures. In addition, we consider certain other measures to be useful to management and investors when evaluating our operating performance for the periods presented. These measures provide a tool for evaluating our ongoing operations and management of assets from period to period. This information can assist investors in assessing our financial performance and measures our ability to generate capital for deployment among competing strategic alternatives and initiatives, including, but not limited to, acquisitions, dividends, and share repurchases. These other 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:

•

“Organic revenue” and “organic orders” are defined as revenue and orders, excluding the impacts of foreign currency fluctuations, acquisitions, and divestitures. Divestitures include sales of 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 is estimated using a fixed exchange rate for both the current and prior periods. Management believes that reporting organic revenue and organic orders provides useful information to investors by helping identify underlying trends in our business and facilitating easier comparisons of our revenue performance with prior and future periods and to our peers. Reconciliations of organic revenue and orders for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 are provided below.

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

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

A reconciliation of adjusted income from continuing operations, including adjusted income from continuing operations per diluted share, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 is provided below.



	Three Months						Nine Months
For the Periods Ended September 30	2019			2018			2019			2018

Adjusted income from continuing operations per diluted share	$	0.97		$	0.82		$	2.82		$	2.41

(a)

Tax-related special items during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 primarily relate to tax expense on undistributed foreign earnings. Tax-related special items during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 are due to favorable valuation allowance impacts on deferred tax assets in Germany and adjustments to our provisional tax estimate associated with the Tax Act. Both the three and nine month periods in 2018 also include benefits from uncertain tax positions.


(b)	Realignment costs during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 primarily relate to management reorganizations costs at IP and our Corporate Headquarters.


(c)	Other unusual or infrequent items in 2019 include a legal matter at MT and costs associated with a resolved DOJ civil matter at CCT.

•

“Adjusted free cash flow” is defined as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures, adjusted for cash payments for restructuring costs, realignment actions, net asbestos cash flows and other significant items that impact current results which management views as unrelated to the Company’s ongoing operations and performance. Due to other financial obligations and commitments, including asbestos expenses, the entire adjusted free cash flow may not be available for discretionary purposes. “Adjusted free cash flow conversion” is defined as adjusted free cash flow divided by adjusted income from continuing operations. We believe that adjusted free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow conversion provide useful information to investors because they are the additional cash flow metrics used by management to monitor and evaluate cash flows generated by our operations.

A reconciliation of adjusted free cash flow, including adjusted free cash flow conversion for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 is provided below.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

See Note 2 to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for information on recent accounting pronouncements.

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 of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the 2018 Annual Report describes the critical accounting estimates that are used in the 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 2018 Annual Report.

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 2018 Annual Report.

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 were 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 asbestos and 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 20, Commitments and Contingencies to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Report and are incorporated by reference herein. Such descriptions include the following recent developments:

Asbestos Proceedings

Subsidiaries of ITT, ITT LLC and Goulds Pumps LLC, are 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 their 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 LLC or Goulds Pumps LLC products as a source of asbestos exposure. In addition, a large majority of claims pending against the Company’s subsidiaries 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’s subsidiaries.

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 the variables and uncertainties inherent in the long-term projection of the Company’s asbestos exposures and potential recoveries. As of September 30, 2019, we have recorded an undiscounted asbestos-related liability for pending claims and unasserted claims estimated to be filed over the next 10 years of $827.8, including expected legal fees, and an associated asset of $407.1 which represents estimated recoveries from insurers, resulting in a net asbestos exposure of $420.7.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Reference is made to the risk factors set forth in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” of our 2018 Annual Report, which are incorporated by reference herein. There have been no material changes with regard to the risk factors disclosed in such report.

On October 27, 2006, our Board of Directors approved a three-year, $1 billion share repurchase program which it modified on December 16, 2008 to make the term indefinite. As of September 30, 2019, we had repurchased 22.7 shares for $938.1, including commissions, under this program. On October 30, 2019, the Board of Directors approved a $40 share repurchase authorization to effectively close out the current share repurchase program and in addition approved a new $500 share repurchase program with an indefinite life. We intend to utilize the program in a manner that 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.

ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES

None.

ITEM 4. MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURES

Not applicable.

ITEM 5. 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 subsection (r) to Section 13 of the Exchange Act (Section 13(r)). Section 13(r) requires an issuer to disclose in its annual or quarterly reports whether it or any of its affiliates have knowingly engaged in certain activities, transactions or dealings relating to Iran. Disclosure of such activities, transactions or dealings is required even when conducted outside the United States by non-U.S. persons in compliance with applicable law, and whether or not such activities are sanctionable under U.S. law.

In its 2012 Annual Report, ITT described its acquisition of all the shares of Joh. Heinr. Bornemann GmbH (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 by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (the General License). 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 €2.2 euros and €1.5 euros, respectively. Prior to its acquisition by ITT, Bornemann issued a performance bond to its Iranian customer in the amount of €1.3 euros (the Bond). Bornemann requested that the Bond be canceled prior to March 8, 2013; however, the former customer refused this request and as a result the Bond remains outstanding. Bornemann did not receive gross revenues or operating income, or pay interest, with respect to the Bond in any subsequent periods through September 30, 2019, however, Bornemann did pay fees of approximately €8 thousand euros during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and approximately €11 thousand euros during 2018 to the German financial institution which is maintaining the Bond.
