NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(DOLLARS AND SHARE AMOUNTS IN MILLIONS, UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED)
 
NOTE 1
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
ITT Corporation is a global multi-industry leader in high-technology engineering and manufacturing, operating through three segments; Defense & Information Solutions (Defense segment), Fluid Technology (Fluid segment) and Motion & Flow Control (Motion & Flow segment). 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.
 
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 (GAAP) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such SEC rules. We believe that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. We consistently applied the accounting policies described in ITT’s 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K (2010 Annual Report) in preparing these unaudited financial statements, with the exception of accounting standard updates, described in Note 3, “Recent Accounting Pronouncements,” adopted on January 1, 2011. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation, as described within these Notes to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in our 2010 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 and other responsible parties, postretirement obligations and assets, revenue recognition, income tax contingency accruals and valuation allowances, goodwill impairment testing and contingent liabilities. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
 
ITT’s quarterly financial periods end on the Saturday closest to the last day of the calendar quarter, except for the last quarterly period of the fiscal year, which ends on December 31st. For ease of presentation, the quarterly financial statements included herein are described as ending on the last day of the calendar quarter.
 
NOTE 2
COMPANY TRANSFORMATION
 
On January 12, 2011, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had unanimously approved a plan to separate the Company’s businesses into three independent, publicly traded companies (the Transformation). Under the Transformation, ITT will execute tax-free spinoffs to shareholders of its water-related businesses and its Defense segment. The water-related business will include the Water & Wastewater division, including its analytical instrumentation component, and the Residential & Commercial Water division, as well as the Flow Control division that is currently reported within the Motion & Flow segment. The Industrial Process division, which is currently reported within the Fluid segment, will continue to operate as a subsidiary of ITT. After completion of the Transformation, ITT shareholders will own shares in all three corporations. Following the Transformation, ITT will continue to trade on the New York Stock Exchange as an industrial company that supplies highly engineered solutions in the aerospace, transportation, energy and industrial markets. The Transformation is anticipated to be completed by the end of 2011.

During the first quarter of 2011, we recognized expenses of $85 related to the planned Transformation. The components of transformation costs incurred during the first quarter of 2011 are presented below.
 
         
Transformation Costs:
       
Asset impairments
  $ 55  
Advisory fees
    22  
Other costs
    8  
         
Total transformation costs
  $ 85  
         
Total costs incurred to date
  $ 87  
         
 
The $55 million non-cash impairment charge relates a decision to discontinue development of an information technology consolidation initiative. These costs have not been included in segment operating results.
 
         
Transformation accrual – 12/31
  $ 2  
Charges for actions during the period
    85  
Cash payments
    (15 )
Asset impairment
    (55 )
         
Transformation accrual – 3/31
  $ 17  
         
 
To execute the Transformation, we expect major areas of spending to include debt refinancing, tax impacts, information technology investments to build out independent environments for the new companies, advisory fees, and other Transformation activities. Our current estimate of the after-tax cash impact of pre-spin activities associated with the Transformation, including those initiated during the first quarter, is expected to be approximately $500. In addition, we recorded a $55 non-cash impairment charge in the first quarter related to information system initiatives that were discontinued as a result of the Transformation. The Company may incur additional costs that are not currently estimable prior to completion of the Transformation.
 
In addition, the Company anticipates incurring material separation-related spending following the Transformation, primarily consisting of additional tax impacts, employee-related costs, continued information systems investments, and advisory fees.
 
NOTE 3
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
 
In October 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2009-13, Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements, which amended the accounting for revenue arrangements that contain multiple elements by eliminating the criteria that objective and reliable evidence of fair value for undelivered products or services needs to exist in order to be able to account separately for deliverables and eliminates the use of the residual method of allocating arrangement consideration. The amendments establish a hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable and will allow for the separation of products and services in more instances than previously permitted.
 
We adopted this ASU effective January 1, 2011 for new arrangements entered into or arrangements materially modified on or after that date on a prospective basis. In connection with the adoption of the revised multiple element arrangement guidance, we revised our revenue recognition accounting policies. For multiple deliverable arrangements entered into or materially modified on or after January 1, 2011, we recognize revenue for a delivered element based on the relative selling price if the deliverable has stand-alone value to the customer and, in arrangements that include a general right of return relative to the delivered element, performance of the undelivered element is considered probable and substantially in the Company’s control. The selling price for a deliverable is based on vendor-specific objective evidence of selling price (VSOE), if available, third-party evidence of selling price (TPE), if VSOE is not available, or best estimated selling price (BESP), if neither VSOE nor TPE is available.

The deliverables in our arrangements with multiple elements include various products and may include related services, such as installation and start-up services. For multiple element arrangements entered into or materially modified after adoption of the revised multiple element arrangement guidance, we allocate arrangement consideration based on the relative selling prices of the separate units of accounting determined in accordance with the hierarchy described above. For deliverables that are sold separately, we establish VSOE based on the price when the deliverable is sold separately. We establish TPE, generally for services, based on prices similarly situated customers pay for similar services from third party vendors. For those deliverables for which we are unable to establish VSOE or TPE, we estimate the selling price considering various factors including market and pricing trends, geography, product customization, and profit objectives. Revenue allocated to products and services are generally recognized as the products are delivered and the services are performed, provided all other revenue recognition criteria have been satisfied. The adoption of ASU 2009-13 did not result in a material change in either the units of accounting or the pattern or timing of revenue
 
recognition. Additionally, the adoption of the revised multiple element arrangement guidance did not have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
 
In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-14, which amended the accounting requirements for software revenue recognition. The objective of this update is to address the accounting for revenue arrangements that contain tangible products and software. Specifically, products that contain software that is “more than incidental” to the product as a whole will be removed from the scope of the software revenue recognition literature. The amendments align the accounting for these revenue transaction types with the amendments described under ASU 2009-13 above. We adopted the provisions of this ASU for new or materially modified arrangements entered into on or after January 1, 2011 on a prospective basis. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
 
In April 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-17, which establishes authoritative guidance permitting use of the milestone method of revenue recognition for research or development arrangements that contain payment provisions or consideration contingent on the achievement of specified events. On January 1, 2011, we adopted the provisions of this ASU on a prospective basis. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
 
In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-28, which provides additional guidance when testing goodwill for impairment. Specifically, for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts, an entity is required to perform the second step of the goodwill impairment test (a comparison between the carrying amount of a reporting unit’s goodwill to its implied fair value) if it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists, considering any adverse qualitative factors. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2010. As of the date of our most recent goodwill impairment test, none of our reporting units would have been affected by the application of this ASU as each reporting unit had a carrying amount that exceeded zero.
 
NOTE 4
ACQUISITIONS & DIVESTITURES
 
Acquisitions
 
We did not engage in any acquisitions during the first quarter of 2011. During the first quarter of 2010, we spent $391, net of cash acquired. The substantial majority of the first quarter 2010 aggregate purchase price pertained to the acquisition of Nova Analytics Corporation (Nova) on March 23, 2010 for $385 which broadened our Fluid segment’s portfolio of analytical instrumentation tools.
 
Additionally, in the third quarter of 2010, we completed the acquisitions of Godwin Pumps of America, Inc. and Godwin Holdings Limited (collectively referred to as Godwin) for $580, which expanded our Fluid segment’s presence within the dewatering market in the United States.

The results of operations and cash flows from our 2010 acquisitions have been included in our Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements prospectively from their date of acquisition. Pro forma results of operations for acquisitions completed in 2010 have not been presented because they are not material to our Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements, either individually or in the aggregate.
 
Divestitures
 
We did not engage in any divestitures during the first quarter of 2011 or 2010.
 
On September 8, 2010 we completed the sale of CAS, Inc. (CAS), a component of our Defense segment that was engaged in systems engineering and technical assistance for the U.S. Government. Subsequent to this divestiture, we do not have any significant continuing involvement in the operations of CAS, nor do we expect significant continuing cash flows from CAS. Accordingly, the financial position, results of operations and cash flows from CAS are reported as a discontinued operation and prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. During the first quarter of 2010, CAS provided third-party revenue and operating income of $57 and $4, respectively, included within discontinued operations.

RESTRUCTURING AND ASSET IMPAIRMENT CHARGES
 
During the first quarter of 2011 we recognized restructuring costs of $5, related to actions initiated primarily within our Defense segment. We do not expect to incur significant future charges related to these actions.
 
2010 Defense Segment Realignment Activities
 
During the first quarter of 2010, we recognized a $12 restructuring charge related to a strategic realignment of our Defense segment to enable better product portfolio integration, encourage a more coordinated market approach and provide reductions in overhead costs. The Defense segment was renamed ITT Defense & Information Solutions and the previous organizational structure, consisting of seven divisions, was consolidated into three larger divisions.
 
This initiative was substantially completed during 2010 and resulted in a total charge of $27 and headcount reductions of 642, which included 162 factory workers, 457 office workers and 23 management employees. In addition, the operations at three of the Defense segment’s production sites were relocated and integrated with other existing sites during the fourth quarter of 2010. We estimate our Defense segment realignment actions will yield approximately $61 in annual net savings. The remaining liability related to the realignment action was $5 as of March 31, 2011, and is expected to be fully paid during the remainder of 2011.
 
NOTE 6
INCOME TAXES
 
Effective Tax Rate
 
For the quarter ended March 31, 2011 we recorded an income tax expense of $45, compared to $75 for the comparable prior year period, reflecting an effective tax rate of 26.3% and 34.2%, respectively. The decrease in income tax expense was primarily attributable to a tax benefit of $23 from separation-related costs related to the planned Transformation. The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2010 was unfavorably impacted by a discrete income tax charge of $12 associated with the ratification of the U.S. Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (the Healthcare Reform Act). Effective January 1, 2013, the Healthcare Reform Act eliminates the tax deduction for benefits related to subsidies received for prescription drug benefits provided under retiree healthcare benefit plans that were determined to be actuarially equivalent to Medicare Part D.

LONG-TERM INCENTIVE EMPLOYEE COMPENSATION
 
Our long-term incentive awards program (LTIP) comprises three components: non-qualified stock options (NQOs), restricted stock (RS) and a target cash award (TSR). We account for NQOs and RS as equity-based compensation awards. TSR awards are cash settled and accounted for as liability-based compensation. LTIP employee compensation costs are primarily recorded within SG&A

expenses, and are reduced by an estimated forfeiture rate. The following table provides the impact of these costs in our consolidated results of operations for the quarters ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.

At March 31, 2011, there was $73 of unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested NQOs and RS. This cost is expected to be recognized ratably over a weighted-average period of 2.2 years. Unrecognized compensation cost of $16 is projected to be incurred under the TSR based on performance measurements as of March 31, 2011. The TSR unamortized expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted average
 
period of 2.5 years. Actual performance measurements in future periods, may differ from current estimates and positively or negatively impact the TSR compensation cost recognized, as well as create volatility between periods.
 
First Quarter 2011 LTIP Activity
 
On March 3, 2011, we granted the 2011 LTIP awards. The grants comprised 0.7 NQOs, 0.5 units of RS and 10.8 TSR units with respective grant date fair values of $14.86, $57.68 and $1.00, respectively. The NQOs vest either on the completion of a three-year service period or annually in three equal installments, as determined by employee level, and have a ten-year expiration period. RS and TSR units vest on the completion of a three-year service period.
 
The fair value of RS corresponds to the closing price of ITT common stock on the date of grant. The fair value of each NQO grant was estimated on the date of grant, using a binomial lattice pricing model that incorporates multiple and variable assumptions over time, including assumptions such as employee exercise patterns, stock price volatility and changes in dividends. The following table details the assumptions utilized to measure fair value.
 
         
Dividend yield
    1.73 %
Expected volatility
    24.75 %
Expected life (in years)
    7.0  
Risk-free rates
    3.06 %
Weighted-average grant date fair value
  $ 14.86  
         
 
Expected volatilities are based on ITT’s historical stock price volatility and implied volatility derived from traded options on our stock. ITT uses historical data to estimate employee option exercise behavior within the valuation model. Employee groups and option characteristics are considered separately for valuation purposes. The expected life represents an estimate of the period of time options are expected to remain outstanding. The expected life provided above represents the weighted average of expected behavior for certain groups of employees who have historically exhibited different behavior. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of option grant.
 
The fair value of TSR units is measured on a quarterly basis and corresponds to ITT’s total shareholder return as compared to the total shareholder return of other industrial companies within the S&P 500 composite subject to a multiplier which includes a maximum and minimum payout. The relative performance ranking calculated is adjusted to reflect expected volatility over the remaining term of the award using a Monte Carlo simulation.

During the first quarter of 2011, 0.8 stock options were exercised resulting in proceeds of $33. Restrictions on 0.3 shares of RS granted in 2008 lapsed on March 10, 2011 and a corresponding number of shares were issued out of treasury stock. Typically, during the first quarter of each year, cash payments are made to settle TSR awards that vested on December 31st of the preceding year. However, no payments were made during the first quarter of 2011 as the TSR performance metric for the 2008 to 2010 performance period was less than the minimum stipulated in the TSR Award Agreement. During the first quarter of 2010, payments totaling $18 were made to settle the vested 2007 TSR award.
 
NOTE 17
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
 
From time to time, we are involved in legal proceedings that are incidental to the operation of our businesses. Some of these proceedings allege damages relating to environmental exposures, intellectual property matters, copyright infringement, personal injury claims, employment and pension matters, government contract issues and commercial or contractual disputes, sometimes related to 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 any material adverse impact on our cash flow, results of operations, or financial condition, unless otherwise noted below.
 
Asbestos Matters
 
Background
 
ITT, including its subsidiary Goulds Pumps, Inc. (Goulds), has been joined as a defendant with numerous other companies in product liability lawsuits alleging personal injury due to asbestos exposure. These claims allege that certain products sold by us or 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. 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, 2011, there were 103,678 open claims against ITT 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:
 
         
    2011(a)  
Pending claims – 12/31
    103,575  
New claims
    1,339  
Settlements
    (475 )
Dismissals
    (761 )
         
Pending claims – 3/31
    103,678  
         
 
(a) In September 2010, ITT executed an amended cost-sharing agreement related to a business we disposed of a number of years ago. The amended agreement provides for a sharing of costs for claims resolved between 2010 and 2019 naming ITT or the entity which acquired the disposed business. Claim activity associated with the amended cost-sharing agreement for claims that were not filed against ITT are excluded from the table above.
 
Frequently, plaintiffs are unable to identify any ITT or Goulds product as a source of asbestos exposure. In addition, in a large majority of the 103,678 pending claims against the Company, the plaintiffs are unable to demonstrate any injury. Many of those claims have been placed on inactive dockets (including 39,680 claims in Mississippi). Our experience to date is that a substantial portion of resolved claims have been dismissed without payment by the Company. As a result, management believes that a large majority of the 103,678 open claims has little or no settlement value.

In the third quarter each year, we conduct a detailed study with the assistance of outside consultants to review and update, as appropriate, the underlying assumptions used to estimate our asbestos liability and related assets. Additionally, we periodically reassess the time horizon over which a reasonable estimate of unasserted claims can be projected. As part of our ongoing review of our net asbestos exposure, each quarter we assess the most recent data available for the key inputs and assumptions, comparing the data to the expectations on which the most recent annual liability and asset estimates were based.

However, future events affecting the key factors and other variables for either the asbestos liability or related receivables could cause the actual costs and recoveries to be materially higher or lower than currently estimated. Due to these uncertainties, as well as our inability to reasonably estimate any additional asbestos liability for claims which may be filed beyond the next 10 years, it is not possible to predict the ultimate outcome of the cost of resolving the pending and all 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 position, results of operations or cash flows.

Other Matters
 
The Company is involved in coverage litigation with various insurers seeking recovery of costs incurred in connection with certain environmental and product liabilities. In a suit filed in 1991, ITT Corporation, et al. v. Pacific Indemnity Corporation et al, Sup. Ct., Los Angeles County, we are seeking recovery of costs related to environmental losses. Discovery, procedural matters, changes in California law, and various appeals have prolonged this case. For several years, the case was on appeal before the California Court of Appeals from a decision by the California Superior Court dismissing certain claims made by ITT. The case is now before the Superior Court. We have effectuated several settlements with insurers and a hearing is scheduled for May 2011 on an insurers duty to defend ITT in several environmental matters.
 
On February 13, 2003, we commenced an action, Cannon Electric, Inc. v. Affiliated FM Ins. Co., Sup. Ct., Los Angeles County, seeking recovery of costs related to asbestos product liability losses described above. During this coverage litigation, we entered into coverage-in-place settlement agreements with ACE, Wausau and Utica Mutual dated April 2004, September 2004, and February 2007, respectively. These agreements provide specific coverage for the Company’s legacy asbestos liabilities. A trial on several insurers coverage obligations for Goulds Pumps, Inc., is scheduled for August 2011. We continue to negotiate coverage in place agreements with other insurers. Where those negotiations are not productive, we will request that a trial be scheduled.
 
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. We were assessed a total of $50 in fines, forfeitures and penalties. 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. We were also assessed a deferred prosecution monetary penalty of $50 which is being reduced for monies spent, during the five-year period following the date of the Plea Agreement, to accelerate and further the development and fielding of advanced night vision technology. On April 12, 2011, the Department of Justice dismissed the deferred third count of the Deferred Prosecution Agreement. This dismissal terminates any further obligation of the Company under the Deferred Prosecution Agreement with the exception of our obligation to pay $50 as identified above. Management believes that this matter will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
(In millions, except per share amounts, unless otherwise stated)
 
 
OVERVIEW
 
ITT Corporation (references herein to “ITT,” “the Company,” and such words as “we,” “us,” and “our” include ITT Corporation and its subsidiaries) is a global multi-industry high-technology engineering and manufacturing organization. We generate revenue through the design, manufacture, and sale of a wide range of products that are engineered to deliver extraordinary solutions to meet life’s most essential needs — more livable environments, better protection and safety, and breakthrough communications that connect our world. Our products and services provide solutions in the following vital markets: global defense and security, water and fluids management, and motion and flow control. Our portfolio includes three core businesses focused on making a difference in our communities and the world. From climate change and water scarcity to population growth, infrastructure modernization, critical communications and security concerns, ITT is prepared to play a continuing role in developing sustainable solutions to pressing global problems.
 
Our business is reported in three segments: Defense & Information Solutions (Defense segment), Fluid Technology (Fluid segment), and Motion & Flow Control (Motion & Flow segment). Our Defense segment is a major U.S. aerospace and defense contractor delivering advanced systems and providing technical and operational services. Our Fluid segment is a leading supplier of pumps and systems to transport and control water and other fluids. Our Motion and Flow segment is a manufacturer of highly engineered critical components, such as brake friction materials, electrical connectors and switch applications, used in multiple growth markets.
 
On January 12, 2011, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had unanimously approved a plan to separate the Company’s businesses into three independent, publicly traded companies (the Transformation). Under the Transformation plan, ITT would execute tax-free spinoffs to shareholders of its water-related businesses and its Defense segment. Following completion of the Transformation, ITT will continue to trade on the New York Stock Exchange as an industrial company that supplies highly engineered solutions in the aerospace, transportation, energy and industrial markets. Following the completion of the Transformation, ITT shareholders will own shares in all three corporations. The transaction is anticipated to be completed by the end of 2011.
 
Executive Summary
 
 
ITT reported revenue of $2.8 billion for the quarter ended March 31, 2011, an increase of 7.1% from $2.6 billion reported in 2010. Benefits from businesses acquired in 2010 and strengthening commercial markets drove revenue growth and exceeded declines from certain programs that support the U.S. Government Armed Services. Operating income for the first quarter of 2011 was $188, representing a $57 or 23.3% decline from the prior year, and reflected $85 of costs incurred associated with the planned spinoff
 
transaction. Income generated from continuing operations during the first quarter was $126 and $144, or $0.67 and $0.78 per diluted share for 2011 and 2010, respectively.
 
Adjusted income from continuing operations was $182 for the first quarter of 2011, reflecting an increase of $28, or 18.2%, over the prior year adjusted amount. Our adjusted income from continuing operations for the first quarter of 2011 translated into $0.98 per diluted share as compared to $0.83 per diluted share from the first quarter of 2010. See the “Key Performance Indicators and Non-GAAP Measures,” section included within Management’s Discussion and Analysis for a reconciliation of the adjusted non-GAAP measures.

Table of Contents

Additional highlights for the first quarter of 2011 include the following:
 
  n   Significant efforts were undertaken in connection with ITT’s previously announced Transformation, targeted for completion during the fourth quarter of 2011. Costs incurred in connection with these efforts amounted to $85, including a $55 non-cash impairment charge and $30 in advisory and other costs.
 
  n   Organic revenue increased 2.0% reflecting growth of 10.6% from the Motion & Flow segment and 8.4% from the Fluid segment, partially offset by a 4.0% decline from the Defense segment.
 
  n   Orders in excess of $3 billion were received during the quarter, representing double-digit order growth at all segments and a 25.6% total increase over the prior year; potentially signifying an early stage of recovery for late-cycle businesses.
 
  n   Results from our 2010 strategic acquisitions exceeded expectations with revenue of $115 and operating income of $19.
 
Further details related to these results are contained in the Results of Operations section.
 
2011 Outlook
 
 
Total revenue outlook for the full year of 2011 is projected to be $11.3 billion, representing a reduction from the previous outlook provided in the 2010 Annual Report due to uncertainly in the U.S. defense market, which is anticipated to be partially offset by revenue increases across the commercial businesses.
 
Defense segment revenue is projected to be approximately $5.4 to $5.6, representing a 6.7% decline to the mid-point of the range, in part due to persistently difficult budget conditions caused by the U.S. Congress’ Continuing Resolution. Operating margin for the Defense segment is projected to be approximately 12%. Fluid segment revenue is projected to grow approximately 15%, with organic revenue forecasted to grow 5.5%. Fluid segment operating margin is projected to be approximately 14%. Motion & Flow segment revenue is projected to grow approximately 10% and organic revenue growth for the business is projected at approximately 6.5%. Operating margin for the Motion & Flow segment is projected to be approximately 16%.
 
Our 2011 full-year adjusted earnings per share is projected to be in a range of $4.70 to $4.82, with the benefits from the anticipated strong operating performance of our commercial businesses, expected to outweigh the impact from the various Defense segment challenges.
 
To execute the Transformation, we expect major areas of spending to include debt refinancing, tax impacts, information technology investments to build out independent environments for the new companies, advisory fees, and other Transformation activities. Our current estimate of the after-tax cash impact of pre-spin activities associated with the Transformation, including those initiated during the first quarter, is expected to be approximately $500. In addition, we recorded a $55 non-cash impairment charge in the first quarter related to information system initiatives that were discontinued as a result of the Transformation. The Company may incur additional costs that are not currently estimable prior to completion of the Transformation.
 
In addition, the Company anticipates incurring material separation-related spending following the Transformation, primarily consisting of additional tax impacts, employee-related costs, continued information systems investments, and advisory fees.
 
Known Trends and Uncertainties
 
 
There has been no material change in the information concerning known trends and uncertainties as disclosed in our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K (2010 Annual Report).
 
Key Performance Indicators and Non-GAAP Measures
 
 
Management reviews key performance indicators including revenue, segment operating income and margins, earnings per share, orders growth, and backlog, among others. In addition, we consider certain measures to be useful to management and

investors evaluating our operating performance for the periods presented, and provide a tool for evaluating our ongoing operations, liquidity and management of assets. This information can assist investors in assessing our financial performance and measures our ability to generate capital for deployment among competing strategic alternatives and initiatives, including, but not limited to, dividends, acquisitions, share repurchases and debt repayment. These metrics, however, are not measures of financial performance under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) and should not be considered a substitute for revenue, operating income, income from continuing operations, income from continuing operations per diluted share or net cash from continuing operations as determined in accordance with GAAP. We consider the following non-GAAP measures, which may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies, to be key performance indicators:
 
  n   “organic revenue” and “organic orders,” defined as revenue and orders, respectively, excluding the impact of foreign currency fluctuations and contributions from acquisitions and divestitures. Divestitures include sales of insignificant portions of our business that did not meet the criteria for classification as a discontinued operation. The period-over-period change resulting from foreign currency fluctuations assumes no change in exchange rates from the prior period.
 
  n   “adjusted income from continuing operations” and “adjusted income from continuing operations per diluted share” defined as income from continuing operations and income from continuing operations per diluted share, adjusted to exclude items that may include, but are not limited to, unusual and infrequent non-operating items, transformation costs and non-operating tax settlements or adjustments related to prior periods. Special items represent significant charges or credits that impact current results, but may not be related to the Company’s ongoing operations and performance. The following table provides a reconciliation of adjusted income from continuing operations, including adjusted earnings per diluted share, for the quarters ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.

The 2010 tax-related special items primarily include a reduction of deferred tax assets associated with the U.S. Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (the Healthcare Reform Act). See Note 6, “Income Taxes,” in the Notes to our Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for further information.
 
  n   “free cash flow” defined as net cash provided by operating activities, as reported in the Statement of Cash Flows, less capital expenditures and other significant items that impact current results which management believes are not related to our ongoing operations and performance. Our definition of free cash flow does not consider certain non-discretionary cash payments, such as debt and interest payments. The following table provides a reconciliation of free cash flow for the quarters ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.

REVENUE
 
Revenue for the first quarter 2011 increased $182 or 7.1%, primarily driven by growth from our acquisitions of Nova in March of 2010 and Godwin in August of 2010, as well as strength across the majority of our commercial businesses. The Fluid and Motion & Flow segment in total delivered approximately 19% growth within emerging markets. In addition, both segments benefited from positive results within most major end-markets, including public utilities and commercial building services, among others. Overall revenue growth was partially offset by the expected Defense segment reductions related to the single channel ground and airborne radio systems (SINCGARS) and jammer equipment, including Counter RCIED Electronic Warfare (CREW 2.1). The following table illustrates the impact from organic growth, recent acquisitions, and fluctuations in foreign currency, in relation to consolidated revenue during the first quarter of 2011.

Defense & Information Solutions
 
Revenue generated within our Defense segment reflects both positive and negative results, as benefits from recent service contract awards were more than offset by revenue declines from surge-related equipment and program delays due to the U.S. Government’s continuing resolution. Under the continuing resolution, U.S. Government agencies, including the Department of Defense are precluded from starting new programmatic priorities or increasing production levels in ongoing procurement programs, unless they receive specific congressional authorization to reprogram funds.

Revenue from the Information Systems division, our service-based business, increased 11.1% primarily due to receipt of significant facilities operations maintenance and support contracts during the second half of 2010. These contracts include the support of U.S. Armed Services in Kuwait and Afghanistan. The overall growth in service revenue was reduced by a decline in software engineering services related to our involvement in the Data & Analysis Center for Software (DACS) program.
 
Revenue from the Electronic Systems division, a product-based business, was significantly impacted by volume declines of CREW 2.1, special purpose jammers and domestic SINCGARS. The CREW 2.1 program has reached maturity and we do not expect significant sales to occur under this program going forward. However, during the first quarter of 2011 we received a significant award for CREW 3.3, the next generation of CREW technology. The extent by which CREW 3.3 will replace the CREW 2.1 program is an area of uncertainty.
 
Revenue from the Geospatial Systems division declined 1.0%, primarily due to lower space-based classified program activity and a reduction in the sales volume of international night vision, offset by growth in the commercial satellite and GPS portions of our business.
 
Orders received during the first quarter of 2011 increased by 26.2% or $306 to $1,474 primarily due to the exercise of an option year under the total army communications (TACS-WACAA) agreement as well as additional orders from contract modifications under the Kuwait Base Operations and Security Support Services (K-BOSSS) agreement and the Army Prepositioned Stock 5 (APS-5) Kuwait agreement. The overall increase in orders from these contracts was partially offset by a significant Integrated Defensive Electronic Countermeasures (IDECM) award received during the first quarter 2010, as well as funding delays on air traffic management contracts and a decline in U.S. and international SINCGARS.
 
Funded order backlog was $4.1 billion at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010. The level of order activity related to programs within the Defense 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
 
The Fluid segment generated first quarter revenue of $992, reflecting growth of $193 or 24.2%, including growth from acquisitions of $112 or 14.0%. The benefit provided by Godwin, a third quarter 2010 acquisition reported within the Water & Wastewater division, exceeded our initial expectations, driven by increasing dewatering demands in the oil and gas markets. The following table provides total organic revenue and year-over-year organic revenue growth by division, reconciling to total segment revenue.

Revenue from our Water & Wastewater division grew 46.2% in total, including $111 from 2010 acquisitions and $12 from foreign currency translation adjustments. Organic revenue growth of 13.5% was mainly provided by treatment and transport project activity in the public utilities market and stronger global dewatering.
 
Revenue from our Residential & Commercial Water division grew 10.1% in total, including minimal impacts from foreign currency translation adjustments. Organic revenue growth of 9.7% was provided by strength in all of our primary markets, including commercial and residential building services, light industry and agriculture/irrigation equipment from strong order activity experienced in the fourth quarter of 2010.
 
Revenue from our Industrial Process division declined 2.3% in total, as strength in the various industrial transport markets, including chemical and pulp/paper for baseline equipment was offset by strong prior year results in the transport project business within the Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) region.
 
Orders received during the first quarter of 2011 increased by 27.3% or $243 to $1,132, including growth of $120 from acquisitions. The Industrial Process division generated order growth of 22.2% due to improved project business tied to emerging market growth and higher baseline business. The Water & Wastewater division, which benefited from acquisitions, generated organic order growth of 13.8%, primarily due to public utilities transport and treatment equipment.

Motion & Flow segment revenue
  $ 430     $ 388       10.8 %
                         
 
Revenue from our Motion Technologies division grew 8.9%, driven by growing emerging market rail equipment activity and strong aftermarket brake pad demand, as well as a growing share in the automotive original equipment market, as compared to strong first quarter 2010 results that benefited from a restocking of automotive equipment driven by past European stimulus programs.
 
Revenue from our Interconnect Solutions division grew 10.2%, driven primarily by market share gains in the aerospace market and increasing demand for smart-phones that incorporate our universal connector technology. Strong performance in emerging markets within the oil and gas and rail markets also contributed to year-over-year growth.
 
Revenue from our Control Technologies division grew 18.2%, led by aerospace-related aftermarket products and the production of high-speed luxury trains in China.
 
Revenue from our Flow Control division grew 8.9%, primarily driven by growth of marine and general industrial-related products.
 
GROSS PROFIT
 
Gross profit for the first quarter 2011 was $785, representing a $67 increase, or 9.3% from 2010, primarily driven by our 2010 acquisitions which contributed approximately $58. Total organic revenue growth of $52 and net savings from cost reduction initiatives were offset by an unfavorable change in Defense segment product sales mix and increasing commodity costs. The following table illustrates the first quarter 2011 and 2010 gross profit results of our segments, including gross margin results.

Selling, General & Administrative Expenses (SG&A)
 
SG&A expenses incurred within our Fluid segment increased $50 or 28.9% during the first quarter of 2011, primarily reflecting additional costs of $34 related to our newly acquired Nova and Godwin business. SG&A expenses increased $16 or 4.2% excluding the impact of these businesses primarily due to increased sales and marketing costs driven by the segment’s increase in revenue.
 
SG&A expenses incurred within our Defense segment decreased $7 or 5.7% during the first quarter of 2011, primarily due to a reduction in intangible asset amortization expense and selling costs.
 
SG&A expenses incurred within our Motion and Flow segment were relatively flat.
 
Corporate and other SG&A expenses increased $10 or 34.8% during the first quarter of 2011, primarily due additional information technology costs of $6.
 
Research and Development Expenses (R&D)
 
R&D spending was relatively flat year-over-year. R&D spending within our Defense segment decreased by $9 or 29.8% compared to 2010, related to the completion of certain R&D projects for integrated electronic warfare systems and other radio frequency technologies. R&D spending increased within our Fluid segment by $5 or 29.3%, primarily due to our 2010 acquisition of Nova.

Transformation Costs
 
During the first quarter of 2011, we recognized expenses of $85 related to the planned Transformation. The components of transformation costs incurred during the first quarter of 2011 are presented below.
 
         
         
Transformation Costs:
       
Asset impairments
  $ 55  
Advisory fees
    22  
Other costs
    8  
         
Total transformation costs
  $ 85  
         
 
To execute the Transformation, we expect major areas of spending to include debt refinancing, tax impacts, information technology investments to build out independent environments for the new companies, advisory fees, and other Transformation activities. Our current estimate of the after-tax cash impact of pre-spin activities associated with the Transformation, including those initiated during the first quarter, is expected to be approximately $500. In addition, we recorded a $55 non-cash impairment charge in the first quarter related to information system initiatives that were discontinued as a result of the Transformation. The Company may incur additional costs that are not currently estimable prior to completion of the Transformation.
 
In addition, the Company anticipates incurring material separation-related spending following the Transformation, primarily consisting of additional tax impacts, employee-related costs, continued information systems investments, and advisory fees.
 
Asbestos-Related Costs, Net
 
During the first quarter of 2011, we recognized net asbestos related costs of $16, reflecting an increase of $1 over the same period in the prior year. As part of our annual asbestos measurement process, the underlying assumptions used to estimate asbestos liabilities and potential recoveries are estimated based on our experience since our last detailed review, the appropriate reference period of years of experience used in determining each assumption is reassessed, and our expectations regarding future conditions are evaluated. The net asbestos-related costs primarily reflect the recognition of incremental asbestos liabilities and related asbestos assets to maintain our rolling 10-year projection of unasserted claims.
 
The net asbestos expense is primarily recorded within Corporate and Other; however, an additional net asbestos expense of $3 is associated with businesses that were disposed of a number of years ago, and is reported within discontinued operations in our Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements. See Note 17, “Commitments and Contingencies,” in our Notes to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for further information on our asbestos-related liabilities and assets.
 
Restructuring and Asset Impairment Charges, Net
 
During the first quarter of 2011, we recognized net restructuring charges of $5 associated with headcount reductions within our Defense segment. During the first quarter 2010, we recognized restructuring costs of $17 related to an initiative to realign our Defense segment. This action was substantially complete as of December 31, 2010. See Note 5, “Restructuring and Asset Impairment Charges,” in the Notes to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for additional information.

OPERATING INCOME
 
We generated operating income of $188 during 2011, a $57 or 23.3% decrease from the prior year, primarily reflecting costs of $85 associated with the Transformation partially offset by operational productivity. Operating margin decreased to 6.8% for 2011, a year-over-year decline of 270 basis points, including a 310 basis point impact from spinoff-related costs. The following table illustrates the 2011 and 2010 operating income results of our segments, including operating margin results.

Defense & Information Solutions
 
Operating income at the Defense segment was $137 for the first quarter of 2011, representing a $4 or 2.8% decline, as compared to the same prior year period. Volume reductions combined with unfavorable sales mix provided a net unfavorable impact of approximately $63. These top-line drivers were partially offset by an $8 reduction in 2011 restructuring costs, as well as by $13 of incremental 2011 savings generated by the 2010 actions. The Defense segment also benefited from incremental net savings from various other cost reduction initiatives as well as lower R&D and amortization expenses. The impacts from the items mentioned above resulted in a relatively flat operating margin of 10.2% for the first quarter of 2011.
 
Fluid Technology
 
Operating income at the Fluid segment was $124 for the first quarter of 2011, representing a $33 or 36.3% increase, as compared to the same prior year period. Operational productivity, including year-over-year revenue growth, as well as savings from restructuring actions and other cost savings initiatives, such as Value-Based Six Sigma and global strategic sourcing, were partially offset by rising commodity and labor costs. These items combined to provide approximately $23 of benefit to operating income and a 170 basis point improvement to operating margin.
 
Operating income was also favorably impacted by a $4 reduction in 2011 restructuring costs, reflecting a 40 basis point improvement to operating margin. Increased investment spending of approximately $3 during 2011 resulted in a 30 basis point decline to operating margin.
 
The 2010 acquisitions of Nova and Godwin provided benefits of approximately $18 to operating income, and favorably impacted operating margin by 40 basis points. In addition, unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations and additional postretirement benefit costs resulted in an approximate 110 basis point decline.

Motion & Flow Control
 
Operating income at the Motion & Flow segment was $65 for the first quarter of 2011, representing a $10 or 18.2% increase, as compared to the same prior year period. Operational productivity, including year-over-year revenue growth, as well as savings from restructuring actions and other cost savings initiatives, such as Value-Based Six Sigma and global strategic sourcing were partially offset by rising commodity and labor costs, provided approximately $10 of benefit to operating income and a 90 basis point improvement to operating margin.
 
Corporate and Other
 
Corporate expenses of $138 incurred during the first quarter of 2011, increased $96 or 228.6%, as compared to the same prior year period, primarily attributable to $85 of costs incurred in connection with the Transformation. The increase in corporate expenses was also impacted by an increase in costs incurred in connection with an information technology initiative, the development of which was discontinued during the first quarter of 2011.

  $ 17     $ 26       (34.6 )%
                         
 
Interest expense increased by $2 during the first quarter of 2011, as reduced interest and amortization on long-term debt instruments was offset by tax-related interest and additional bank commitment fees. The fluctuation in net miscellaneous income/expense is due to a $9 gain from the sale of securities.
 
INCOME TAX EXPENSE
 
For the quarter ended March 31, 2011 we recorded an income tax expense of $45, compared to $75 for the comparable prior year period, reflecting an effective tax rate of 26.3% and 34.2%, respectively. The decrease in income tax expense was primarily attributable to a tax benefit of $23 from separation-related costs related to the planned Transformation. The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2010 was unfavorably impacted by a discrete income tax charge of $12 associated with the ratification of the U.S. Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (the Healthcare Reform Act). Effective January 1, 2013, the Healthcare Reform Act eliminates the tax deduction for benefits related to subsidies received for prescription drug benefits provided under retiree healthcare benefit plans that were determined to be actuarially equivalent to Medicare Part D.
 
INCOME (LOSS) FROM DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS, NET OF TAX
 
Loss from discontinued operations, net of tax, of $2 during the first quarter of 2011, reflects asbestos-related expense associated with a business we disposed of a number of years ago. Income from discontinued operations, net of tax, of $2 during the first quarter of 2010 primarily reflects the results of CAS, Inc., a component of our Defense segment, sold on September 8, 2010.

LIQUIDITY
 
 
Funding and Liquidity Strategy
 
Our funding needs are monitored and strategies are executed to meet overall liquidity requirements, including the management of our capital structure on both a short- and long-term basis. We believe that cash flows from operations and our access to the commercial paper market are sufficient to meet our short-term funding requirements. If our access to the commercial paper market were adversely affected, we believe that alternative sources of liquidity, including our existing committed credit facility and access to the public debt market, would be sufficient to meet our short-term funding requirements.
 
Our cash is predominantly held by our foreign subsidiaries in currencies where we have operations. 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 continue to look for opportunities to access cash balances in excess of local operating requirements to meet global liquidity needs in a cost-efficient manner. We have and may continue to transfer cash from certain international subsidiaries to the U.S. and other international subsidiaries when it is cost effective to do so. If these funds are needed for our operations in the U.S., we would be required to accrue and pay U.S. taxes to repatriate these funds. However, our intent is to indefinitely reinvest these funds outside of the U.S. and our current plans do not demonstrate a need to repatriate them to fund our U.S. operations.
 
Significant factors that affect our overall management of liquidity include our credit ratings, the adequacy of commercial paper and supporting bank lines of credit, and the ability to attract long-term capital on satisfactory terms. We assess these factors along with current market conditions on a continuous basis, and as a result, may alter the mix of our short- and long-term financing, when it is advantageous to do so.
 
We access the commercial paper market to supplement the cash flows generated internally to provide additional short-term funding for strategic investments and other non-recurring 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, it is cost effective to do so and a sufficient return on investment can be generated.
 
Our credit ratings as of March 31, 2011 are as follows:
 
         
    Short-
  Long-
    Term
  Term
Rating Agency   Ratings   Ratings
Standard & Poor’s
  A–2   BBB+
Moody’s Investors Service
  P–2   Baa1
Fitch Ratings
  F2   A−
         
 
Subsequent to our January 2011 announced plan to separate ITT into three publicly traded entities, our short-and long-term credit ratings were modified as follows:
 
  n   Standard & Poor’s — “CreditWatch Negative”
 
  n   Moody’s Investor Service — “Under review for possible downgrade”
 
  n   Fitch Ratings — “Ratings Watch Evolving”

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 provided by or used in operating, investing and financing activities for the three months ended March 31.

Total net cash flow from continuing operations
  $ 42     $ (346 )
                 
 
Net cash provided by operating activities was $20 for the first quarter of 2011, representing a decrease of $47 from the comparable prior year period. The favorable segment operating income results during the first quarter of 2011 drove positive cash generation growth that was offset by an unfavorable change in working capital balances due to additional inventory purchases within the Fluid and Defense segments and an increase in accounts receivable from the U.S. Government. The increase in Fluid segment inventory primarily relates to second quarter 2011 sales growth expectations. The increase in Defense segment inventory primarily relates to the replenishment of inventory levels for various programs. Cash provided by operations during the quarter was also impacted by the $15 spent in connection with the Transformation, additional contributions of $9 to our postretirement benefit plans and a $7 increase in asbestos payments, net of recoveries.
 
Net cash used in investing activities decreased by $409 in 2011 as compared to 2010, related to the purchase of Nova Analytics in March 2010.
 
Net cash provided by financing activities decreased by $68 in 2011 as compared to 2010, primarily related to a reduction in short-term borrowing, partially offset by additional cash inflow of $23 related to proceeds from the exercise of employee stock options.
 
Our average daily outstanding commercial paper balance for the quarter ended March 2011 was $99 and the maximum outstanding commercial paper balance during the quarter was $135. As of March 31, 2011, we had $70 of outstanding commercial paper.
 
Funding of Postretirement Plans
 
Funding requirements under IRS rules are a major consideration in making contributions to our U.S. postretirement benefit plans. With respect to U.S. qualified postretirement benefit plans, we intend to contribute annually not less than the minimum required by applicable law and regulations.
 
While the Company has significant discretion in making voluntary contributions, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended by the Pension Protection Act of 2006 and further amended by the Worker, Retiree, and Employer Recovery Act of 2008 and applicable Internal Revenue Code regulations, mandate minimum funding thresholds. Failure to satisfy the minimum funding thresholds could result in restrictions on our ability to amend the plan or make benefit payments. We currently do not believe mandatory contributions will be required to our U.S. Salaried Retirement Plan during 2011. However, we contributed $11 to our other postretirement benefit plans and do anticipate making further contributions in the range of $80 to $100 during the remainder of 2011.
 
The funded status at the end of 2011 and future required contributions will depend primarily on the actual return on assets during the year and the discount rate used to measure the benefit obligation at the end of the year. Depending on these factors, and the resulting funded status of our pension plans, the level of future statutory minimum contributions could be material.

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 in the 2010 Annual Report describes the critical accounting estimates used in preparation of the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements. Actual results in these areas could differ from management’s estimates. There have been no significant changes in ITT’s critical accounting estimates during the first quarter of 2011.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
 
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
ITT Corporation and its subsidiaries from time to time are involved in legal proceedings, the majority of which are incidental to the operation of their businesses. Some of these proceedings allege damages relating to personal injury claims, environmental liabilities, intellectual property matters, copyright infringement, employment and pension matters, government contract issues and commercial or contractual disputes, sometimes related to acquisitions or divestitures. See information provided below and Note 17, “Commitments and Contingencies,” in the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for further information.
 
Asbestos Proceedings
 
ITT, including its subsidiary Goulds Pumps, Inc. (Goulds), has been joined as a defendant with numerous other companies in product liability lawsuits alleging personal injury due to asbestos exposure. These claims allege that certain of our products sold prior to 1985 contained a part manufactured by a third party (e.g., a gasket) which contained asbestos. To the extent these third-party parts may have contained asbestos, it was encapsulated in the gasket (or other) material and was non-friable. In certain other cases, it is alleged that former ITT companies were distributors for other manufacturers’ products that may have contained asbestos. Frequently, the plaintiffs are unable to identify any ITT or Goulds product as a source of asbestos exposure. In addition, in a large majority of the claims against the Company, the plaintiffs are unable to demonstrate any injury. Many of those claims have been placed on inactive dockets. Our experience to date is that a substantial portion of resolved claims have been dismissed without payment by the Company.
 
We record a liability for pending asbestos claims and asbestos claims estimated to be filed over the next 10 years. While it is probable that we will incur additional costs for future claims to be filed against the Company, a liability for potential future claims beyond the next ten years is not reasonably estimable due to a number of factors. As of March 31, 2011, we recorded an undiscounted asbestos-related liability for pending claims and unasserted claims estimated to be filed over the next 10 years of $1,689, including expected legal fees, and an associated asset of $1,036, which represents estimated recoveries from insurers and other responsible parties, resulting in a net asbestos exposure of $653.

As of March 31, 2011, we had repurchased 7.1 million shares for $431, including commission fees, under the $1 billion share repurchase program. The program is consistent with our capital allocation process, which has centered on those investments necessary to grow our businesses organically and through acquisitions, while also providing cash returns to shareholders. Our strategy for cash flow utilization is to invest in our business, repay debt, pay dividends, execute strategic acquisitions, and repurchase common stock.
