NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars and share amounts in millions, except per share amounts, unless otherwise stated)
 
1)  Basis of Presentation
 
The unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the 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 have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such SEC rules. 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 believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. ITT consistently applied the accounting policies described in ITT’s 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K in preparing these unaudited financial statements, except as noted within Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — New Accounting Pronouncements. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in ITT’s 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
 
ITT’s 2009 and 2008 quarterly financial periods end on the Saturday closest to the last day of the quarter, except for the last quarterly period of the fiscal year, which ends on December 31st. For simplicity of presentation, the quarterly financial statements included herein are presented as ending on the last day of the quarter.
 
2)  Stock-Based and Long-Term Incentive Employee Compensation
 
Stock-based and long-term incentive employee compensation cost reduced consolidated results of operations as follows:
 
                 
    Three Months Ended
    March 31
    2009   2008
 
Pre-tax compensation cost
  $ 7.7     $ 2.8  
Future tax benefit
  $ 2.4     $ 0.7  
 
At March 31, 2009, there was $60.9 and $22.7 of total unrecognized compensation cost for the stock-based and long-term incentive plans, respectively, which are expected to be recognized ratably over a weighted-average period of 2.2 years and 1.5 years. During the first quarter of 2009, payments totaling $21.1 were made to settle the Long-Term Incentive Plan 2006 annual grant liability.
 
3)  Restructuring and Asset Impairment Charges
 
First Quarter 2009 Restructuring Activities
 
During the first quarter of 2009, ITT recorded a net restructuring charge of $10.7, reflecting costs of $6.3 related to new actions and $4.6 related to prior actions, as well as the reversal of $0.2 of restructuring accruals that management determined would not be required. The charges associated with actions announced during the first quarter of 2009 represent a reduction of structural costs, primarily in the Fluid Technology business segment. Planned position eliminations total 118, including 11 factory workers, 94 office workers and 13 management

4)  Employee Benefit Plans
 
Components of net periodic benefit cost as of March 31, 2009 and 2008 were as follows:
 
                                 
    Pension     Other Benefits  
    2009     2008     2009     2008  
 
Service cost
  $ 25.6     $ 24.2     $ 2.0     $ 2.1  
Interest cost
    81.6       81.7       10.7       10.7  
Expected return on plan assets
    (108.4 )     (110.3 )     (4.5 )     (6.9 )
Amortization of prior service cost
    0.9       0.8       0.9       0.9  
Amortization of actuarial loss
    10.4       3.8       3.7       1.1  
                                 
Total net periodic benefit cost
  $ 10.1     $ 0.2     $ 12.8     $ 7.9  
                                 
 
Net periodic benefit cost increased in the first quarter of 2009, primarily due to the effect of an increase in the amortization of deferred losses, and lower expected returns on plan assets due to lower asset levels, partially offset by an increase in the discount rate for our foreign plans.
 
ITT contributed approximately $5.4 to its various plans during the first quarter of 2009. Additional contributions ranging between $38.0 and $43.0 are expected over the balance of 2009.

In June 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) No. EITF 03-6-1, “Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions are Participating Securities.” This FSP is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. ITT’s adoption of this statement effective January 1, 2009 did not have a material effect on its financial statements. For comparability purposes, prior periods have been adjusted to reflect the impact of adoption of this statement. See Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — New Accounting Pronouncements for further details.

13)  Uncertain Tax Positions
 
In accordance with the FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109,” (“FIN 48”) we recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position.
 
As of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, we had $146.6 and $144.9, respectively, of total unrecognized tax benefits. The amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate is $78.6 and $76.9, as of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. We do not believe that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change within twelve months of the reporting date.
 
We classify interest relating to tax matters as a component of interest expense and tax penalties as a component of income tax expense in our Consolidated Condensed Income Statement. We have accrued $29.3 and $28.1 for payment of interest and penalties as of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.
 
14)  Commitments and Contingencies
 
ITT Corporation and its subsidiaries from time to time are involved in legal proceedings that are incidental to the operation of their businesses. Some of these proceedings allege damages relating to environmental liabilities, intellectual property matters, copyright infringement, personal injury claims, employment and pension matters, government contract issues and commercial or contractual disputes, sometimes related to acquisitions or divestitures. ITT will continue to vigorously defend itself 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 any material adverse impact on the cash flow, results of operations, or financial condition of ITT on a consolidated basis in the foreseeable future, unless otherwise noted below.
 
See “Critical Accounting Estimates” within Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, of the ITT 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K, for a discussion of contingent liabilities, including the related estimates, assumptions, uncertainties, and potential financial statement impact from revisions to our estimates.
 
Environmental
 
In the ordinary course of business, ITT is subject to federal, state, local, and foreign environmental laws and regulations. ITT is responsible, or is alleged to be responsible, for ongoing environmental investigation and remediation of sites in various countries. These sites are in various stages of investigation and/or remediation and in many of these proceedings ITT’s liability is considered de minimis. ITT has received notification from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and from similar state and foreign environmental agencies, that a number of


11

ITT CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

sites formerly or currently owned and/or operated by ITT, and other properties impacted from those operations, contain disposed or recycled materials or wastes and require environmental investigation and/or remediation. These sites include instances where ITT has been identified as a potentially responsible party under federal and state environmental laws and regulations.
 
Accruals for environmental matters are recorded on a site by site basis when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated, based on current law and existing technologies. ITT’s accrued liabilities for these environmental matters represent the best estimates related to the investigation and remediation of environmental media such as water, soil, soil vapor, air and structures, as well as related legal fees. These estimates, and related accruals, are reviewed periodically and updated for progress of investigation and remediation efforts and changes in facts and legal circumstances. Liabilities for these environmental expenditures are recorded on an undiscounted basis.
 
It is difficult to estimate the final total costs of investigation and remediation due to various factors, including incomplete information regarding particular sites and other potentially responsible parties, uncertainty regarding the extent of investigation or remediation and our share, if any, of liability for such conditions, the selection of alternative remedial approaches, and changes in environmental standards and regulatory requirements. In management’s opinion, the total amount accrued is appropriate based on existing facts and circumstances. Management does not anticipate that these liabilities will have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
The following table illustrates the activity related to ITT’s accrued liabilities for these environmental matters.

In a suit filed in 1991, in the California Superior Court, Los Angeles County, ITT Corporation, et al. v. Pacific Indemnity Corporation et al., against our insurers, we are seeking recovery of costs incurred in connection with certain environmental liabilities. Discovery, procedural matters, changes in California law, and various appeals have prolonged this case. For several years, the case had been on appeal before the California Court of Appeals from a decision by the California Superior Court dismissing certain claims made by ITT. The dismissed claims were claims where the costs incurred were solely due to administrative (versus judicial) actions. However, in April 2007, the Superior Court vacated its earlier ruling, dismissing the claims based on the California Supreme Court’s decision in Powerine Oil Co. v. Superior Court. As a result, the Court of Appeals dismissed the appeal as moot. The case is now back before the Superior Court and the parties are engaged in further discovery. During the course of the litigation, we have negotiated settlements with certain defendant insurance companies and are prepared to pursue legal remedies where reasonable negotiations are not productive.

Product Liability and Other Matters
 
ITT, including its subsidiary Goulds Pumps, Inc. (“Goulds”), has been joined as a defendant with numerous other companies in product liability lawsuits alleging injury due to asbestos. These claims allege that our products sold prior to 1985 contained a part manufactured by a third party, e.g., a gasket, which contained asbestos. The asbestos was encapsulated in the gasket (or other) material and was non-friable. In certain other cases, it is alleged that former ITT companies were distributors for other manufacturers’ products that may have contained asbestos.
 
As of March 31, 2009, there were 102,577 open claims against ITT. Frequently, the plaintiffs are unable to demonstrate any injury or do not identify any ITT or Goulds product as a source of asbestos exposure. During the first quarter of 2009, we resolved 1,583 claims. Most of these claims were dismissed, with settlement on a modest percentage of claims. The average amount of settlement per claim has been nominal.
 
Additionally, a large majority of all defense and settlement costs have been covered by insurance. Within the past several years, we have negotiated coverage-in-place agreements with our more significant insurance carriers. We are continuing to seek payment for our net exposure to these costs from our other insurers.
 
Our estimated accrued costs, net of expected insurance recoveries, for the resolution of all pending claims were $28.7 and $27.6 as of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.
 
The table below provides additional information regarding asbestos-related claims filed against ITT.

    1,154  
Claims closed
    (1,583 )
         
Open claims — March 31
    102,577  
         
 
Although it is impossible to predict the ultimate outcome of current open claims, based on current information, our experience in handling these matters, and our substantial insurance program, we do not believe that these claims will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
While it is probable that we will incur additional costs for claims to be filed in the future, these additional costs are not reasonably estimable at this time. As part of the coverage-in-place agreements, we have assumed the primary responsibility for administering our asbestos-related claims. Prior to these agreements, the asbestos claims were administered and paid by our primary insurance carriers and, as a result, we only have limited information about those claims. We have engaged an outside consultant to construct a comprehensive database of existing claims. The database is expected to provide additional information about the nature of the claims and will allow us to re-assess whether a reasonable estimate of future claims and associated costs can be developed. This effort is anticipated to be completed in the second half of 2009. It is possible that the estimated costs of these future claims, net of expected insurance recoveries, may be material to our results of operations in the period when recorded.
 
We provide an indemnity to U.S. Silica Company for silica personal injury suits filed prior to September 12, 2005 against our former subsidiary Pennsylvania Glass Sand (“PGS”). ITT sold the stock of PGS to U.S. Silica Company in 1985. Over the past three years, the majority of the silica cases involving PGS have been dismissed without payment. Currently there are less than 4,000 cases pending against PGS. The Company expects that the majority of the remaining cases will also be dismissed. Our indemnity had been paid in part by our historic product liability carrier, however, in September 2005, the carrier communicated to us that it would no longer provide insurance for these claims. On October 4, 2005, we filed a suit against the insurer, ITT v. Pacific Employers Insurance Co., CA No. 05CV 5223, in the Superior Court for Los Angeles, CA, seeking defense costs and indemnity from the insurance carrier for Pennsylvania Glass Sand product liabilities. In April 2007, the Court granted our motion for summary judgment on the carrier’s duty to defend the silica cases; however, that decision was overturned

on appeal. The matter was returned to the Superior Court in part for determination of several factual issues. We will continue to seek past and future defense costs for these cases from this carrier. We believe that these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. All silica-related costs, net of insurance recoveries, are shared pursuant to the Distribution Agreement.
 
On October 25, 2006, Fencourt Reinsurance Company (“Fencourt”), a subsidiary of The Hartford, filed a contribution claim against ITT for losses incurred by Fencourt as a result of a reinsurance contract obligation it owes to Century Indemnity Company, in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, Fencourt Reinsurance Co., Ltd. v. ITT Industries, Inc. (C.A. No. 06-4786 U.S. D.Ct E.D.PA). Century Indemnity Company was an insurer of ITT’s Domestic Casualty Program from 1978 through 1992. Fencourt, formed in 1978, was a captive insurer of the predecessor ITT Corporation and provided reinsurance to Century for certain ITT self-insured losses. Fencourt was transferred to The Hartford in the demerger of ITT in 1995. This matter is covered by the 1995 Distribution Agreement and that agreement contains clear language that The Hartford agreed to assume the liabilities of Fencourt and indemnify ITT against all claims against Fencourt. The case is stayed pending the resolution of an arbitration proceeding pending before the American Arbitration Association in New Jersey. On January 20, 2009, the arbitrator issued a favorable decision that ITT is not liable for the losses incurred by Fencourt. The parties are reviewing the case to determine what other matters remain to be decided by the arbitrator. Management believes that this matter will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
In December 2005, the Company received an anonymous complaint regarding the possible payment of commissions to foreign government officials by employees of our Nanjing Goulds Pumps company, in Nanjing, China. Such commission payments may violate the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. The Company conducted an investigation utilizing internal and external resources and voluntarily disclosed the results of the investigation to the United States Department of Justice and the SEC. On February 11, 2009, the Company entered into a settlement with the SEC in which the Company, without admitting or denying liability, has paid $1.7 in total related to disgorged profits, prejudgment interest and a civil penalty. The settlement also restrains and enjoins the Company from violating Sections 13(b)(2)(A and B) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934.
 
On March 27, 2007, we reached a settlement relating to an investigation of our ITT Night Vision Division’s compliance with the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (“ITAR”) pursuant to which we pled guilty to two violations based on the export of defense articles without a license and the omission of material facts in required export reports. The Company was assessed a total of $50.0 in fines, forfeitures and penalties, which was accrued for fully as of December 31, 2006. We also entered into a Deferred Prosecution Agreement with the U.S. Government which deferred action regarding a third count of violations related to ITAR pending our implementation of a remedial action plan, including the appointment of an independent monitor. ITT was also assessed a deferred prosecution monetary penalty of $50.0 which ITT will reduce for monies spent over the five years following the date of the Plea Agreement, to accelerate and further the development and fielding of advanced night vision technology. On October 11, 2007, ITT and the Department of Defense finalized an Administrative Compliance Agreement wherein we agreed to take certain remedial actions including implementing compliance programs and appointing an independent monitor for the oversight of our compliance programs. On December 28, 2007, we finalized a Consent Agreement with the Department of State wherein we agreed to undertake certain remedial actions, including appointment of a Special Compliance Official. The Company continues to perform under the terms of the agreements. Management believes that these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
On April 17, 2007, ITT’s Board of Directors received a letter on behalf of a shareholder requesting that the Board take appropriate action against the employees responsible for the violations at our Night Vision facility described above, which were disclosed on Form 8-K filed on March 30, 2007. The Board of Directors appointed a

Special Litigation Committee to evaluate the request. The Special Litigation Committee conducted an investigation with the assistance of independent counsel and concluded that no legal actions should be brought by ITT.
 
During 2007 and 2008, the Company received notice of four shareholder derivative actions each filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, known variously as, Sylvia Piven trustee under trust agreement dated April 3, 1973 f/b/o Sylvia B. Piven, derivatively on behalf of ITT Corporation v. Steve Loranger et al. and ITT Corporation (the “Piven” action), Norman Levy, derivatively on behalf of ITT Industries, Inc. v. Steven R. Loranger et al. and ITT Industries, Inc., Anthony Reale v. Steven R. Loranger et al. and ITT Company [sic], and Robert Wilkinson v. Steven R. Loranger et al. and ITT Corporation. Each case alleges that the ITT’s Board of Directors breached their fiduciary duties by failing to properly oversee ITT’s compliance programs at its Night Vision business. The Complaints seeks compensatory and punitive damages for ITT from its Directors, the removal of the Directors, and the election of new directors. The four cases were consolidated into one action In Re ITT Corporation Derivative Litigation, CA No. 07-CV-2878 (CLB). On motion by the Company, the Piven action was dismissed for lack of diversity. On April 10, 2008, the Court denied the Company’s Motion to Dismiss the consolidated Complaint. ITT filed a Motion for Reconsideration and on November 25, 2008, the Court granted the Motion and dismissed the matter without prejudice. The Court provided the plaintiffs the opportunity to refile the case upon the development of certain additional facts. The plaintiffs refiled the case on December 23, 2008. The Company has filed another Motion to Dismiss which is currently before the Court. The Defendants have also filed a Motion to Dismiss based on the Special Litigation Committee’s report referenced above which is also currently before the Court. Management believes that these derivative suits will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
15)  Guarantees, Indemnities and Warranties
 
Guarantees & Indemnities
 
Since ITT’s incorporation in 1920, we have acquired and disposed of numerous entities. The related acquisition and disposition agreements contain various representation and warranty clauses and may provide indemnities for a misrepresentation or breach of the representations and warranties by either party. The indemnities address a variety of subjects; the term and monetary amounts of each such indemnity are defined in the specific agreements and may be affected by various conditions and external factors. Many of the indemnities have expired either by operation of law or as a result of the terms of the agreement. We do not have a liability recorded for the historic indemnifications and are not aware of any claims or other information that would give rise to material payments under such indemnities.
 
In December of 2007, we entered into a sale leaseback type agreement for our corporate aircraft, with the aircraft leased back under a five-year operating lease. We have provided, under the lease, a residual value guarantee to the counterparty in the amount of $50.2, which is the maximum amount of undiscounted future payments. We are obligated to make payments under the residual value guarantee to the extent the fair value of the aircraft is less than the residual value guarantee upon termination of the agreement. Currently, we project the fair value of the aircraft to be less than the residual value guarantee. Accordingly, we recorded a loss contingency of $5.1 during the first quarter, which represents the excess of the projected loss over a deferred gain of $5.4 recorded in connection with the sale leaseback transaction.
 
ITT has a number of individually immaterial guarantees outstanding at March 31, 2009, that may be affected by various conditions and external forces, some of which could require that payments be made under such guarantees. We do not believe these payments will have any material adverse impact on the financial position, results of operations or cash flow on a consolidated basis in the foreseeable future.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(In millions, except share and per share amounts, unless otherwise stated)
 
Business Overview
 
ITT Corporation and its subsidiaries (“ITT”, “we”, “us”, “our” and “the Company”) is a global multi-industry leader in high-technology engineering and manufacturing engaged directly and through its subsidiaries. We generate revenue and cash through the design, manufacture, and sale of a wide range of engineered products and the provision of related services. For financial reporting purposes our businesses are aggregated and organized into three principal business segments, Defense Electronics & Services, Fluid Technology, and Motion & Flow Control.
 
Our growth strategy is centered on both organic and acquisition growth. Our ability to grow organically stems from our value-based product development process, new and existing technologies, distribution capabilities, customer relationships and strong market positions. In addition to our growth initiatives, we have a number of strategic initiatives within the framework of the ITT Management System aimed at enhancing our operational performance. These include global sourcing, footprint rationalization and realignment, Six Sigma and lean fulfillment.
 
Key Performance Indicators and Non-GAAP Measures
 
Management reviews key performance metrics including sales and revenues, segment operating income and margins, earnings per share, orders growth, and backlog, among others.
 
In addition, we consider the following non-GAAP measures to be key performance indicators:
 
  •  “organic sales and revenues”, “organic orders”, and “organic operating income” defined as sales and revenues, orders, and operating income, respectively, excluding the impact of foreign currency fluctuations and contributions from acquisitions and divestitures.
 
  •  “free cash flow” defined as cash flow from operations less capital expenditures.
 
Management believes that these metrics are useful to investors evaluating our operating performance for the periods presented, and provide a tool for evaluating our ongoing operations and our management of assets held from period to period. These metrics, however, are not a measure of financial performance under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and should not be considered a substitute for sales and revenue growth (decline), or cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities as determined in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
 
Executive Summary
 
ITT reported sales and revenues of $2.6 billion during the first quarter of 2009, a decrease of 8.9% from the $2.8 billion reported during the first quarter of 2008, reflecting challenging market conditions for our commercial businesses. Over the same period, income from continuing operations increased 9.1% to $186.5, or $1.02 per diluted share. This increase reflects a reduction in tax expense, as well as lower selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) and interest expense partially offset by the impact of lower sales volumes, higher restructuring costs, and higher employee benefit plan costs.
 
Financial highlights for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 include:
 
  •  Sales and revenues for the Defense Electronics & Services business segment of $1.5 billion, which were relatively flat compared to the same prior year period. Operating income for the segment was $164.3, a 7.5% increase year-over-year.
 
  •  Sales and revenue declines of 15.6% and 27.3% from our Fluid Technology and Motion & Flow Control business segments, respectively, compared to the prior year period resulting from the negative impact of

Table of Contents

  global economic conditions. Operating income declined 32.5% and 59.0%, respectively, for these business segments as compared to the same prior year period.
 
  •  A year-over-year reduction of $36.6 in SG&A expenses in response to current and anticipated market conditions. As a result, SG&A as a percent of sales was flat year-over-year. In addition, we initiated $10.7 in restructuring actions.
 
  •  A 35.0% decrease in interest expense, primarily due to lower year-over-year levels of commercial paper debt.
 
  •  A reduction of $68.0 in income tax expense from the prior year, primarily attributable to the reversal of a $57.7 deferred tax liability no longer required as a result of the restructuring of certain international legal entities.
 
  •  Generation of $165.4 of free cash flow.
 
Other significant highlights for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 include:
 
  •  Year-over-year order growth of 14.8% from the Defense Electronics & Services business segment, including a $317.0 order to produce additional CREW 2.1 Counter-IED Jammers.
 
  •  A net debt to net capital ratio of 25.3%, a 260 basis point reduction from December 31, 2008. In addition, outstanding commercial paper debt balance was $1,492.7 at March 31, 2009, a reduction of $126.0 from our 2008 year-end level.
 
  •  Continued improvement in our strategic alignment with end-markets and leveraging of our production capabilities and cost structures within the Motion & Flow Control business segment through the combination of the Energy Absorption and Control Technologies businesses. The combined business will retain the “Control Technologies” name.
 
Further details related to these results are contained in the following Consolidated Financial Results and Segment Review sections.
 
2009 Outlook
 
Changes in the global economic environment resulted in difficult market conditions during the first quarter of 2009. We are planning restructuring actions of approximately $65.0 to $70.0 in 2009 (including those taken during the first quarter) and are developing contingency plans that are reactive to any volume declines beyond our expectations for 2009. In this environment, our strategy is to focus on the current needs of our customers, deploy our capital in a disciplined manner, focus on cost controls, and execute on our operational initiatives.
 
Factors impacting our 2009 performance, compared to 2008, include revenue declines in our Fluid Technology and Motion & Flow Control business segments, higher pension and other employee benefit-related costs, and benefits from productivity and cost containment initiatives. We also anticipate that foreign currency fluctuations will continue to have a negative impact on our 2009 results of operations.
 
Known Trends and Uncertainties
 
The following list represents a summary of trends and uncertainties, which could have a significant impact on our results of operations, financial position and/or cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities.
 
  •  Organic revenues declined 4.5% during the first quarter of 2009 compared to the same prior year period. Additionally, organic orders declined 6.9% and 25.5% at our Fluid Technology and Motion & Flow Control business segments, respectively, as compared to the same prior year period. This reflects, in part, the impact of the global economic downturn. It is difficult to determine the breadth and duration of the recent economic and financial market decline and the many ways in which it may affect our suppliers, customers and our business in general. Continuation or further worsening of these difficult financial and macroeconomic conditions could have a significant adverse effect on our sales, profitability and results of operations.
 
  •  The real estate market deteriorated during 2008, particularly within the United States and Europe. Continued decline in demand during the first quarter of 2009 negatively impacted those portions of our Fluid Technology business segment which sell products with residential and commercial market applications.

Table of Contents

 
  •  Declining economic conditions could cause certain municipalities to cancel projects or delay their related funding. While we experienced stable municipal market conditions during the first quarter of 2009, our Fluid Technology business could be adversely affected in future periods.
 
  •  A portion of our Fluid Technology business segment provides products to end-markets such as oil and gas, power, chemical and mining. Economic conditions negatively impacted this portion of our business during the first quarter of 2009. We expect that as a result of current economic conditions and the impact on these markets we may see some level of order delays and/or cancellations during 2009.
 
  •  The International Air Transport Association recently reported expected 2009 cargo traffic and passenger traffic declines of approximately 13% and 6%, respectively. Commercial airline carriers are addressing the decline, and have announced capacity cuts. These activities are expected to negatively impact both commercial transport build rates and the commercial aerospace aftermarket industry. Declines in the aerospace industry have already negatively impacted a portion of our Motion & Flow Control business segment, particularly within the commercial aerospace original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”) market.
 
  •  A recent Bishop Report, a publication for the connector industry, forecasts a 2009 decline in sales of connectors of approximately 15%. A portion of our Motion & Flow Control business segment is sensitive to trends within the connector industry. Our results through March 31, 2009 reflect continued decline within the defense, aerospace, industrial and transportation connector end-markets. We expect year-over-year declines to extend throughout 2009.
 
  •  The global automotive and marine markets declined significantly in 2008, with significant contraction in OEM production over the same period. Portions of our Motion & Flow Control business segment were negatively impacted by the continued decline in these markets during the first quarter of 2009. We expect that our business will be negatively impacted during 2009, if economic and market conditions continue to decline or do not return to prior year levels.
 
  •  While the U.S. Defense Budget proposal issued by Secretary of Defense Robert M. Gates is generally in line with the programs supported by the Defense Electronics & Services business segment, the final impact on U.S. Defense programs will be determined by ongoing evaluations conducted during 2009. Changes in the portion of the U.S. Defense budget devoted to these programs could adversely impact our business. In addition, we have anticipated that our overall performance will benefit from certain international markets. Variability of timing and size of key orders could negatively impact our future results.
 
  •  We expect to incur approximately $40.6 of net periodic pension cost in 2009. Changes to our overall pension and other employee-related benefit plans, including material declines in the fair value of our pension plan assets among others, could adversely affect our results of operations beyond 2009, as well as require us to make significant funding contributions.
 
  •  Recent distress in the financial markets has had an adverse impact on the availability of credit and liquidity resources. Volatility in these markets and their impact on interest rates have been somewhat less predictable than in years past. Higher rates would negatively impact our results of operations.
 
The information provided above does not represent a complete list of trends and uncertainties that could impact our business in either the near or long-term. It should, however, be considered along with the risk factors identified in Item 1A of our 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K and our disclosure under the caption “Forward-Looking Statements and Cautionary Statements” at the end of this section.

Sales and Revenues
 
Sales and revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 were $2,557.1, representing an 8.9% decrease as compared to the same prior year period. Volume declines, primarily driven by global economic conditions, and unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations continued to negatively impact our Fluid Technology and Motion & Flow Control business segments. Sales and revenues for the Defense Electronics & Services business segment were relatively flat compared to the same prior year period.
 
The following table illustrates the impact of organic growth, acquisitions and divestitures completed during the period, and foreign currency translation fluctuations on sales and revenues during these periods.

During the first quarter of 2009, we received orders of $2,572.6, a decrease of $110.0 or 4.1% as compared to the same prior year period. On a constant currency basis, orders grew by 0.5% or $13.2. This increase was attributable to organic order growth within our Defense Electronics & Services business segment, mostly offset by organic order decreases at both the Fluid Technology and Motion & Flow Control business segments.
 
Gross Profit
 
Gross profit for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 was $669.1, a 12.1% decrease compared to the same prior year period. This decrease was attributable to the decline in sales and revenues previously mentioned, and unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations, partially offset by benefits from productivity and cost saving initiatives, including efforts to improve supply chain productivity and control material costs.

Gross margin decreased 90 basis points to 26.2% during the quarter due to the same factors mentioned above.
 
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
 
SG&A expenses decreased 8.7% to $384.0 for the quarter ended March 31, 2009. The decrease was primarily attributable to cost saving initiatives in response to declining global economic conditions and a positive impact from foreign currency exchange translation, partially offset by higher pension and other postretirement plan costs. SG&A as a percentage of sales was 15.0% for both the first quarter 2009 and 2008.
 
Research and Development Expenses
 
Research and development expenses (“R&D”) increased $0.3 to $52.9 for the quarter ended March 31, 2009. R&D as a percentage of sales increased 20 basis points to 2.1%, as we continued our efforts within each of our business segments to support product development.
 
Restructuring and Asset Impairment Charges, Net
 
During the first quarter of 2009, we recorded $10.7 of restructuring and asset impairment charges, a $7.1 increase from the same prior year period. These charges primarily relate to headcount reductions. See the section entitled “Restructuring and Asset Impairment Charges” and Note 3, “Restructuring and Asset Impairment Charges” in the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for additional information.
 
Operating Income
 
Operating income of $221.5 for the first quarter of 2009 reflects a 22.0% decrease as compared to the same prior year period, primarily due to the impact of lower sales volumes, higher employee benefit plan costs, unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations and increased restructuring costs, partially offset by benefits from productivity and cost saving initiatives. Segment operating income decreased 19.1%, driven by volume declines within our commercial businesses, partially offset by operating income growth from our Defense Electronics & Services business segment.
 
Operating margin decreased 140 basis points to 8.7% for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 from the same prior year period, primarily due to the items mentioned above.
 
Interest Expense and Interest Income
 
Interest expense during the first quarter of 2009 decreased 35.0% to $26.4 from the same prior year period. The decrease was attributable to lower year-over-year levels of commercial paper debt.
 
We recorded interest income of $4.3 and $8.4 for the quarters ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The decrease was driven by a lower average cash and cash equivalents balance during the first quarter of 2009.
 
Income Tax Expense
 
Income tax expense was $10.0, an effective tax rate 5.1%, for the quarter ended March 31, 2009, compared to $78.0 or 31.3% during the same prior year period. The decrease in income tax expense and the effective tax rate was primarily attributable to the completion of a restructuring of certain international legal entities, which resulted in a reduction of the income tax provision in the amount of $57.7 million. This reduction was based on our determination that the excess investment for financial reporting purposes over the tax basis in certain foreign subsidiaries will be permanently reinvested and the associated deferred tax liability would no longer be required. In addition, income tax expense is lower as a result of the reduced level of income driven by declines in sales and revenues.

Defense Electronics & Services
 
Sales and revenues of $1,508.5, for the quarter ended March 31, 2009, were relatively flat compared to the same prior year period. The first quarter 2009 saw increases within the Electronic Systems Division, due to additional shipments of radar and CREW 2.1 Counter-IED Jammers, and Space Systems Division, driven by the GPS Navigation project and classified programs, offset by reduced sales within the Communications Systems Division primarily due to timing of programs, including large one-time shipments during the first quarter of 2008.
 
Operating income increased $11.5 or 7.5% during the first quarter of 2009 over the same prior year period. Operating margin increased 80 basis points to 10.9%. The year-over-year growth was primarily attributable to benefits from productivity and cost saving initiatives resulting in reduced SG&A expenses, partially offset by higher employee benefit plan costs.
 
We received orders of $1,489.5 during the first quarter of 2009, an increase of $192.2 or 14.8% over the same prior year period. These orders include a $317.0 award to produce additional CREW 2.1 Counter-IED Jammers, and a $121.0 U.S. NightVision order, among others. The level of order activity related to programs within the Defense Electronics & Services business segment can be affected by the timing of government funding authorizations and project evaluation cycles. Year-over-year comparisons could, at times, be impacted by these factors, among others.
 
Fluid Technology
 
Sales and revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 were $744.3, a decrease of $137.1 or 15.6% from the same prior year period. The following table illustrates the impact of organic growth and foreign currency translation fluctuations on sales and revenues during the periods.

During the first quarter of 2009, the Fluid Technology business segment recognized sales and revenues on a constant currency basis of $828.4. This represents a decrease of $53.0 or 6.0% as compared to the same prior year period. The continued global economic conditions impacted the majority of Fluid Technology markets and is the primary reason for the organic revenue declines on a year-over-year basis. Further details are as follows:
 
Water & Wastewater Organic sales decreased $12.4 or 3.0% for the quarter ended March 31, 2009. The decrease was primarily attributable to weak industrial and building trades activity, with mixed demand in dewatering and stable municipal markets.

Table of Contents

 
Residential & Commercial Water Organic sales decreased $38.7 or 13.1% for the quarter ended March 31, 2009. The decrease was primarily attributable to continued weakness in the Americas residential and commercial markets coupled with reduced emerging markets activity.
 
Industrial Process Organic sales increased $2.7 or 1.4% for the quarter ended March 31, 2009. The increase was primarily attributable to strength in the power market, stable sales of high purity systems, offset by declines in all other markets.
 
Operating income for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 decreased $33.2 or 32.5% from the same prior year period, with an unfavorable impact of 4.2% attributable to foreign currency exchange fluctuations. Operating income was primarily affected by declines in sales volume, as well as an unfavorable change in product mix, higher restructuring costs and higher employee benefit plan costs, offset by benefits from productivity and cost saving initiatives.
 
Operating margin decreased to 9.2% during the first quarter of 2009, primarily reflecting the factors described above.
 
During the first quarter of 2009, we received orders of $802.0, a decrease of $154.7 or 16.2% from the same prior year period. On an organic basis, orders declined 6.9% primarily due to particularly weak commercial order activity. In addition, orders were impacted by slowing aftermarket and project orders within the Industrial Process market, partially offset by order growth within the Water & Wastewater market.
 

Motion & Flow Control
 
Sales and revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 were $305.9, a decrease of $114.6 or 27.3% from the same prior year period.

During the first quarter of 2009, the Motion & Flow Control business segment recognized sales and revenues on a constant currency basis of $339.2. This represents a decrease of $81.3 or 19.3% as compared to the same prior year period, including decreased organic sales of $77.0 or 18.3%. The continued global economic conditions impacted all Motion & Flow Control markets and is the primary reason for organic revenue declines on a year-over-year basis. Further details are as follows:
 
Motion Technologies Organic sales decreased $27.1 or 16.9% for the quarter ended March 31, 2009. The decrease was attributable to OEM component volume contraction, partially offset by increased aftermarket sales.
 
Interconnect Solutions Organic sales decreased on lower volumes by $24.2 or 20.9% for the quarter ended March 31, 2009. The decrease was primarily attributable to global industrial declines.
 
Flow Control Organic sales decreased $16.3 or 23.9% for the quarter ended March 31, 2009. The decrease was primarily attributable to an overall decline in the marine and global industrial markets.

Control Technologies Organic sales decreased $8.2 or 10.7% for the quarter ended March 31, 2009. The decrease was primarily attributable to reductions in the aerospace and industrial markets.
 
Operating income decreased $40.1 or 59.0% from the same prior year period, with an unfavorable impact of 9.3% attributable to foreign currency exchange fluctuations. Operating income was primarily affected by decreases in sales volume, as well as higher employee benefit plan costs, partially offset by benefits from productivity and cost saving initiatives.
 
Operating margin decreased to 9.1% during the first quarter of 2009, primarily reflecting the factors described above.
 
The Motion & Flow Control business segment received orders of $281.1 for the first quarter of 2009, a decrease of $147.5 or 34.4% from the same prior year period. Foreign currency translation unfavorably impacted orders by $33.2 or 7.7%. Organic orders decreased $109.2 or 25.5% as compared to the same prior year period due to the current global economic conditions, including the contraction in the global industrial market, and declining automotive OEM production, among others.
 
Corporate and Other
 
Corporate expenses of $39.5 for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 increased $0.8 compared to the same prior year period, primarily due to the recognition of a loss contingency established for a residual loss guarantee on our corporate aircraft during the first quarter of 2009, partially offset by lower costs associated with legacy litigation matters.
 
Restructuring and Asset Impairment Charges
 
First Quarter 2009 Restructuring Activities
 
During the first quarter of 2009, ITT recorded a net restructuring charge of $10.7, reflecting costs of $6.3 related to new actions and $4.6 related to prior years’ plans, as well as the reversal of $0.2 of restructuring accruals that management determined would not be required. The charges associated with actions announced during the first quarter of 2009 represent a reduction of structural costs, primarily in the Fluid Technology business segment. Planned position eliminations total 118, including 11 factory workers, 94 office workers and 13 management employees. The costs associated with prior years’ plans primarily reflect additional severance costs. The following table details the components of the first quarter 2009 restructuring charge.

The projected future savings from restructuring actions announced during the first quarter of 2009 are approximately $7.0 during 2009 and $47.9 between 2010 and 2014.
 
Payments of $0.4 were made during the first quarter of 2009 related to actions announced during the quarter. In addition, we made payments of $21.6 pertaining to fourth quarter 2008 actions which were in response to current and anticipated market conditions. We expect to make payments of approximately $26.1 during the remaining nine months of 2009 related to the fourth quarter 2008 actions.

First Quarter 2008 Restructuring Activities
 
During the first quarter of 2008, ITT recorded a net restructuring charge of $3.6, reflecting costs of $1.2 related to new actions and $2.6 related to prior years’ plans, as well as the reversal of $0.2 of restructuring accruals that management determined would not be required. The charges associated with actions announced during the first quarter of 2008 represent a reduction of structural costs, primarily in the Fluid Technology business segment. Planned position eliminations total 22, including 17 office workers and five management employees. The costs associated with prior years’ plans primarily reflect severance costs.

The projected future savings from restructuring actions announced during the first quarter of 2009 are approximately $2 during 2009 and $7 between 2010 and 2013.
 
Payments of $0.1 were made during the first quarter of 2008 related to actions announced during the quarter.
 
Employee Benefit Plans
 
Pension and Post-Retirement Cost
 
Net periodic pension cost was $10.1 during the first quarter of 2009, an increase of $9.9 over the prior year primarily due to the effect of an increase in the amortization of deferred losses, and lower expected returns on plan assets, partially offset by an increase in the discount rate for our foreign plans. Based on the facts and circumstances described below, the increase in net periodic pension cost will be partially offset by recoveries of costs under our U.S. Government contracts. In 2009, we expect to incur approximately $40.6 of net periodic pension cost that will be recorded in the Consolidated Income Statement.
 
Net periodic postretirement cost was $12.8 in the first quarter of 2009 compared to $7.9 during the same 2008 period. This increase was primarily due to the effect of an increase in the amortization of deferred losses and lower expected returns on plan assets due to lower asset levels.
 
Plan Contributions
 
Funding requirements under IRS rules are a major consideration in making contributions to our pension plans. With respect to qualified pension plans, we intend to contribute annually not less than the minimum required by applicable law and regulations. ITT contributed approximately $5.4 to its various plans during the first quarter of 2009. Additional contributions ranging between $38.0 and $43.0 are expected over the balance of 2009. In 2008, we contributed $24.1 to pension plans, including $7.7 million during the first quarter.
 
Recoverable Pension Costs and Plan Contributions
 
U.S. Government Cost Accounting Standards govern the extent to which pension costs and plan contributions are allocable to and recoverable under contracts with the U.S. Government. The Defense Electronics & Services business segment represents approximately 70% of the active U.S. Salaried Plan participants. As a result, we have sought and will seek reimbursement from the Department of Defense for a portion of our pension costs and plan contributions.

Cash Flow Summary

Financing Activities
    (199.6 )     (1,008.4 )
Foreign Exchange
    (29.8 )     74.0  
 
Cash and cash equivalents declined $53.9 to $911.0 as of March 31, 2009 from December 31, 2008, primarily due to the $213.1 of cash generated from operating activities being more than offset by the use of cash of $236.6 in financing and investing activities. The $236.6 use of cash was driven by $168.8 repayment of debt combined with capital investments in the business of $47.7, while at the same time returning value to the shareholders through $31.8 of dividend payments, an increase of 25.2% from the same prior year period.
 
Operating Activities
 
Cash provided by operating activities in the first three months of 2009 declined $6.2 from the same prior year period. This modest decline is due to a $47.1 decline in income from continuing operations excluding non-cash impacts from depreciation and amortization as well as a $57.7 non-cash tax benefit attributable to the reversal of a deferred tax liability no longer required as a result of the restructuring of certain international legal entities. Also contributing to this decline was an increased use of cash related to other assets and accounts payable and accrued expenses due to timing of payments as well as increased restructuring payments of $11.3 due to the significant restructuring actions taken in the fourth quarter of 2008. These cash uses were partially mitigated by improved cash flows from accounts receivable, driven by the Motion & Flow Control and Defense Electronics & Services business segments due to lower sales volumes and improved collections, respectively.
 
Investing Activities
 
Capital expenditures:
 
Capital expenditures during the first three months of 2009 were $47.7, an increase of $13.8 as compared to the first three months of 2008. The increase is driven by a $9.3 increase due to an investment in IT infrastructure combined with a $6.2 increase in Motion & Flow Control business segment related to investments in manufacturing capacity in Eastern Europe.
 
Acquisitions:
 
During the first three months of 2008, we spent $195.9 primarily related to additional costs for the EDO acquisition, completed during the fourth quarter of 2007, within the Defense Electronics & Services business segment. These costs related to the repayment of debt acquired, change of control payments due to EDO employees, and payments to former EDO shareholders for remaining EDO shares.
 
Financing Activities
 
Short-term debt:
 
Our use of cash pertaining to net repayments of short-term debt declined $806.3 year-over-year, from $972.5 to $166.2, primarily due to the payment of debt related to the financing of the EDO acquisition.
 
Dividends:
 
In the first quarter of 2009, we made $31.8 of dividend payments to shareholders, a 25.2% increase over the same prior year period. We made $25.4 of dividend payments to shareholders in the first quarter of 2008, a 25% increase over the prior year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Our principal source of liquidity is operating cash flows, and we have demonstrated the ability to meet our additional funding requirements through the issuance of commercial paper. Our funding needs are monitored and strategies are executed to meet overall cash requirements, including the management of our capital structure on a short and long-term basis. Significant factors that affect our overall management of liquidity include the adequacy of commercial paper and bank lines of credit, and the ability to attract long-term capital at 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 advantageous to do so.
 
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 and will continue to transfer cash from those subsidiaries to U.S. and to other international subsidiaries when it is cost effective to do so.
 
We believe that available cash, our committed credit facility and access to the public debt markets provide adequate short-term and long-term liquidity.
 
Recent declines in the worldwide debt and equity markets have had an adverse impact on market participants including, among other things, volatility in security prices, diminished liquidity, and limited access to funding. We have assessed the implications of these factors on our current business and determined that there has not been a significant impact to our financial position, results of operations, or liquidity. We expect that cash flows from operations and our access to the commercial paper market will be sufficient to meet our short-term funding requirements. If our access to the commercial paper market is adversely affected, we believe that alternative sources of liquidity, including available cash and existing committed credit facility, would be sufficient to meet our short-term funding requirements. In addition to the amounts available under the commercial paper program and existing line of credit, we plan to file a universal shelf registration statement on Form S-3 with the SEC, pursuant to which we may issue, offer and sell securities from time to time in one or more registered offerings.
 
Current debt ratios have positioned us to grow our business with investments for organic growth and through strategic acquisitions, while providing the ability to return value to shareholders through increased dividends and share repurchases.

Credit Facilities and Commercial Paper Program
 
In November 2005, ITT entered into a five-year revolving credit agreement (the “November 2005 Credit Facility”), in the aggregate principal amount of $1.25 billion. Effective November 8, 2007, ITT exercised the option to increase the principal amount under the revolving credit agreement to $1.75 billion. At March 31, 2009, we were in compliance with the financial covenants specified under this agreement.

Table of Contents

In March 2008, ITT entered into a new 364-day revolving credit agreement (the “March 2008 Credit Facility”), providing an additional $1.0 billion principal amount of available borrowings. The March 2008 Credit Facility expired during the first quarter of 2009.
 
The revolving credit agreement is intended to provide additional liquidity as 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. We believe that funds available to us under the November 2005 Credit Facility are more than sufficient to cover the level of expected commercial paper borrowings in 2009, and to satisfy any remaining cash requirements.
 
The following table illustrates our commercial paper balance and credit facility amount in excess as of March 31, 2009.

Contractual Obligations and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
In December of 2007, we entered into a sale leaseback type agreement for our corporate aircraft, with the aircraft leased back under a five-year operating lease. We have provided, under the lease, a residual value guarantee to the counterparty in the amount of $50.2, which is the maximum amount of undiscounted future payments. We are obligated to make payments under the residual value guarantee to the extent the fair value of the aircraft is less than the residual value guarantee upon termination of the agreement. Currently, we project the fair value of the aircraft to be less than the residual value guarantee. Accordingly, we recorded a loss contingency of $5.1 during the first quarter, which represents the excess of the projected loss over a deferred gain of $5.4 recorded in connection with the sale leaseback transaction.
 
There have been no other significant changes to those contractual obligations and off-balance sheet arrangements disclosed in the 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
 
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 Financial Statements, result primarily from the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. Management’s Discussion and Analysis and Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K describe the significant accounting estimates and policies used in preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements. Actual results in these areas could differ from management’s estimates. There have been no significant changes in ITT’s critical accounting estimates during the first three months of 2009.
 
New Accounting Pronouncements
 
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”), which became effective January 1, 2008, except as amended by FSP 157-1, 157-2 and 157-3. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands the related disclosure requirements. FSP 157-1 excludes SFAS No. 13, “Accounting for Leases,” and its related interpretive accounting pronouncements that address leasing transactions, while FSP 157-2 delays the effective date of SFAS 157 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis, until fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. FSP 157-3 clarifies the application of SFAS 157 in a market that is not active and provides an example of how to determine the fair value of a financial asset in an inactive market. ITT adopted the provisions of SFAS 157, as amended, with the exception of the application of the statement to non-recurring nonfinancial assets and

Table of Contents

nonfinancial liabilities. The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on ITT’s financial statements for fair value measurements made during the year ended December 31, 2008. ITT’s adoption of the provisions of the statement related to non-recurring nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities effective January 1, 2009 did not have a material effect on its financial statements.
 
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“SFAS 159”) effective January 1, 2008. SFAS 159, issued by the FASB in February 2007, permits an entity to measure certain financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value. Under SFAS 159, entities electing the fair value option will report unrealized gains and losses in earnings as of each subsequent reporting date. The fair value option may be elected on an instrument-by-instrument basis with few exceptions, as long as it is applied to the instrument in its entirety. SFAS 159 establishes presentation and disclosure requirements to help financial statement users understand the effect of an entity’s election on its earnings. SFAS 159 requires prospective application. If an entity elects the fair value option for items existing as of the date of adoption, the difference between their carrying amount and fair value should be included in a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. ITT adopted this statement as of January 1, 2008, but has not elected to apply the fair value option to any eligible assets or liabilities. Thus, the adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on ITT’s financial statements.
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141(R)”), which replaces SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations.” SFAS 141(R) retains the fundamental requirements in SFAS 141 that the acquisition method of accounting be used for all business combinations and for an acquirer to be identified for each business combination. However, SFAS 141(R) changes the method of applying the acquisition method in a number of significant areas, including that acquisition costs will generally be expensed as incurred; noncontrolling interests will be valued at fair value at the acquisition date; in-process research and development will be recorded at fair value as an indefinite-lived intangible asset at the acquisition date; restructuring costs associated with a business combination will generally be expensed subsequent to the acquisition date; and changes in deferred tax asset valuation allowances and income tax uncertainties after the acquisition date generally will affect income tax expense. SFAS 141(R) is effective on a prospective basis for all business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual period subsequent to December 15, 2008, with the exception of the accounting for valuation allowances on deferred taxes and acquired tax contingencies. SFAS 141(R) amends SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” such that adjustments made to valuation allowances on deferred taxes and acquired tax contingencies associated with acquisitions that closed prior to the effective date of SFAS 141(R) would also apply the provisions of SFAS 141(R). See Note 6, “Income Taxes,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of the 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K for further discussion. Early adoption of SFAS 141(R) is not permitted. ITT adopted this statement effective January 1, 2009. While this statement did not have a material impact on ITT’s financial statements upon adoption, the effects on future periods will depend upon the nature and significance of future business combinations subject to this statement.
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements — an amendment of ARB No. 51.” This statement requires the recognition of a noncontrolling interest (minority interest) as a separate component within equity within the consolidated balance sheet. It also requires the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and the noncontrolling interest be clearly identified and presented within the consolidated statement of income. This statement also amends certain of ARB No. 51’s consolidation procedures to make them consistent with the requirements of SFAS 141(R). SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited. ITT’s adoption of this statement effective January 1, 2009 did not have a material effect on its financial statements.
 
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities — an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133.” This statement amends SFAS No. 133 by requiring enhanced disclosures about an entity’s derivative instruments and hedging activities, but does not change SFAS No. 133’s scope or accounting. SFAS No. 161 requires increased qualitative, quantitative and credit-risk disclosures about the entity’s derivative instruments and hedging activities. SFAS 161 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after November 15, 2008, with earlier adoption permitted.

Table of Contents

ITT adopted this statement effective January 1, 2009. This statement will not impact ITT’s financial results as the statement is disclosure only in nature.
 
In June 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. EITF 03-6-1, “Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions are Participating Securities.” This FSP concluded that all outstanding unvested share-based payment awards that contain rights to nonforfeitable dividends participate in undistributed earnings with common shareholders and therefore are considered participating securities for purposes of computing earnings per share. Entities that have participating securities that are not convertible into common stock are required to use the “two-class” method of computing earnings per share.

This FSP is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2009. Earlier application of the provisions of this FSP is permitted. This statement will not impact ITT’s financial results as the statement is disclosure only in nature.

On December 16, 2008, we announced that the ITT Board of Directors had approved the elimination of the expiration date with respect to the repurchase program. This program replaces our previous practice of covering shares granted or exercised in the context of ITT’s performance incentive plans. The program is consistent with our capital allocation process, which is 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, pay dividends, repay debt, complete strategic acquisitions, and repurchase common stock. As of March 31, 2009, we had repurchased 7.1 million shares for $430.8, including commission fees, under our $1 billion share repurchase program.
