(DOLLARS AND SHARES (EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS) IN MILLIONS, UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED)
NOTE 1
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Description of Business
ITT Inc. is a diversified manufacturer of highly engineered critical components and customized technology solutions for the energy, transportation, and industrial markets. Unless the context otherwise indicates, references herein to "ITT," "the Company," and such words as "we," "us," and "our" include ITT Inc. and its subsidiaries. ITT operates through four segments: Industrial Process, consisting of industrial pumping and complementary equipment; Motion Technologies, consisting of friction and shock and vibration equipment; Interconnect Solutions, consisting of electronic connectors; and Control Technologies, consisting of fluid handling, motion control and noise and energy absorption products. Financial information for our segments is presented in Note 3, "Segment Information."
On May 16, 2016, we consummated a corporate reorganization into a holding company structure. As a result of the reorganization ITT Inc., an Indiana corporation that was previously a wholly owned subsidiary of ITT Corporation, became the publicly traded holding company of ITT Corporation and its subsidiaries and the successor issuer to ITT Corporation under Rule 12g-3(a) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act). As the successor issuer, ITT Inc. common stock was deemed to be registered under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act and ITT Inc. succeeded to ITT Corporation’s obligation to file reports, proxy statements and other information required by the Exchange Act with the SEC. For additional information regarding the holding company reorganization, please refer to our Current Report on Form 8-K that we filed with the SEC on May 16, 2016.
On October 31, 2011, ITT completed the tax-free spin-off of its Defense and Information Solutions business, Exelis Inc. (Exelis), and its water-related business, Xylem Inc. (Xylem) by way of a distribution of all of the issued and outstanding shares of Exelis common stock and Xylem common stock, on a pro rata basis, to ITT shareholders of record on October 17, 2011. This transaction is referred to in this Report as the "2011 spin-off." On May 29, 2015, Harris Corporation acquired Exelis.
Basis of Presentation
The unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC and, in the opinion of management, reflect all 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 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 (2015 Annual Report) in preparing these unaudited financial statements. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in our 2015 Annual Report.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates are revised as additional information becomes available. Estimates and assumptions are used for, but not limited to, asbestos-related liabilities and recoveries from insurers, revenue recognition, unrecognized tax benefits, deferred tax valuation allowances, projected benefit obligations for postretirement plans, accounting for business combinations, goodwill and other intangible asset impairment testing, environmental liabilities, allowance for doubtful accounts and inventory valuation. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
ITT's quarterly financial periods end on the Saturday that is generally 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
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
The Company considers the applicability and impact of all accounting standard updates (ASUs). ASUs not listed below were assessed and determined to be either not applicable or are expected to have minimal impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.
Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2016-09 to simplify several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions standard, including the classification of excess tax benefits and deficiencies and the accounting for employee forfeitures. The guidance is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of 2017. The updates to the accounting standard include the following:
• | Excess tax benefits and deficiencies will no longer be recognized as a change in additional paid-in-capital in the equity section of the balance sheet, instead they are to be recognized in the income statement as a tax expense or benefit. In the statement of cash flows, excess tax benefits and deficiencies will no longer be classified as a financing activity, instead they will be classified as an operating activity. |
• | Entities will have the option to continue to reduce share-based compensation expense during the vesting period of outstanding awards for estimated future employee forfeitures or they may elect to recognize the impact of forfeitures as they actually occur. |
• | The ASU also provides new guidance to other areas of the standard including minimum statutory tax withholding rules and the calculation of diluted common shares outstanding. |
The updates are to be applied using a modified retrospective approach as a cumulative adjustment to retained earnings. Early adoption is permitted. We have yet to finalize the evaluation of the potential impact of this ASU on our financial statements, however we do not expect these changes to have a material impact.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 impacting the accounting for leases intending to increase transparency and comparability of organizations by requiring balance sheet presentation of leased assets and increased financial statement disclosure of leasing arrangements. The revised standard will require entities to recognize a liability for its lease obligations and a corresponding asset representing the right to use the underlying asset over the lease term. Lease obligations are to be measured at the present value of lease payments and accounted for using the effective interest method. The accounting for the leased asset will differ slightly depending on whether the agreement is deemed to be a financing or operating lease. For finance leases, the leased asset is depreciated on a straight-line basis and recorded separately from the interest expense in the income statement resulting in higher expense in the earlier part of the lease term. For operating leases, the depreciation and interest expense components are combined, recognized evenly over the term of the lease, and presented as a reduction to operating income. The ASU requires that assets and liabilities be presented or disclosed separately and classified appropriately as current and noncurrent. The ASU further requires additional disclosure of certain qualitative and quantitative information related to lease agreements. The new standard is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter 2019 and early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of these amendments on our financial statements.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09 amending the existing accounting standards for revenue recognition. The amendments are based on the principle that revenue should be recognized to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance provides a five-step analysis of transactions to determine when and how revenue is recognized. The guidance also requires enhanced disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from an entity’s contracts with customers. The new guidance will be effective for the Company beginning in its first quarter of 2018. The amendments may be applied retrospectively to each prior period presented or with the cumulative effect recognized as of the date of initial application. We are currently evaluating the impact of these amendments and the transition alternatives on our financial statements.

Industrial Process Restructuring Actions
Beginning in early 2015, we have been executing a series of restructuring actions focused on achieving efficiencies and reducing the overall cost structure of the Industrial Process segment. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, we continued to pursue these objectives and we recognized $19.9 of restructuring costs primarily related to severance for approximately 370 employees. During 2015, we recognized restructuring costs of $12.2 for these actions, with $10.6 recognized during the first nine months of 2015. Total restructuring costs under these actions through September 30, 2016 are $32.1 mainly related to severance for approximately 570 employees. These actions are expected to be substantially complete during the next three months. However, we will continue to monitor and evaluate the need for any additional restructuring actions.
The following table provides a rollforward of the restructuring accruals associated with the Industrial Process restructuring actions.

Interconnect Solutions Restructuring Actions
Beginning in 2013, we initiated a series of restructuring actions to improve the overall cost structure of our ICS segment. These actions included headcount reductions of approximately 500 employees and the transition of certain production lines from one location to an existing lower cost manufacturing site. Payments related to these actions were completed in 2016.
In May 2015, we initiated a separate restructuring action designed to further reduce the cost structure of the ICS segment primarily through additional headcount reductions of approximately 100 employees, for which the Company recognized costs of $6.5 during 2015. Payments related to the remaining accrual for this action are expected to be substantially completed in 2017.

NOTE 5
INCOME TAXES
For the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company recognized income tax expense of $46.1 and $11.4 with an effective tax rate of 34.3% and 10.6%, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company recognized income tax expense of $75.3 and $53.0 with an effective tax rate of 32.2% and 16.1%, respectively. The higher effective tax rate in 2016 is primarily driven by an increase in the deferred tax liability on foreign earnings which are not considered indefinitely reinvested, whereas the lower effective tax rate in 2015 was primarily driven by the settlement of a U.S. income tax audit and the release of the valuation allowance on certain net deferred tax assets in China due to positive income in recent years. The Company continues to benefit from a larger mix of earnings in non-U.S. jurisdictions with favorable tax rates.
During the third quarter of 2016, the Company effectively settled the U.S. income tax audit for tax years 2012-2013. The Company recorded a tax benefit of $3.6 in continuing operations, which primarily relates to the realization of previously unrecognized tax positions.
The Company operates in various tax jurisdictions and is subject to examination by tax authorities in these jurisdictions. The Company is currently under examination in several jurisdictions including Canada, Germany, Hong Kong, Italy, Mexico, South Korea, the U.S. and Venezuela. The estimated tax liability calculation for unrecognized tax benefits considers uncertainties in the application of complex tax laws and regulations in various tax jurisdictions. Due to the complexity of some uncertainties, the ultimate resolution may result in a payment that is materially different from the current estimate of the unrecognized tax benefit. Over the next 12 months, the net amount of the tax liability for unrecognized tax benefits in foreign and domestic jurisdictions could change by approximately $18 due to changes in audit status, expiration of statutes of limitations and other events. In addition, the settlement of any future examinations relating to the 2011 and prior tax years could result in changes in amounts attributable to the Company under its existing Tax Matters Agreement with Exelis and Xylem.

Year-to-Date 2016 LTIP Activity
The majority of our LTIP activity occurs during the first quarter of each year. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, we granted the following LTIP awards as provided in the table below:
# of Awards Granted | Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Per Share | ||||
Non-qualified stock options (NQOs) | 0.4 | $ | 9.16 | ||
Restricted stock units (RSUs) | 0.3 | $ | 33.28 | ||
Performance stock units (PSUs) | 0.2 | $ | 33.27 |
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 10-year expiration period. RSUs and PSUs vest on the completion of a three-year service period.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, 0.4 and 0.3 NQOs were exercised resulting in proceeds of $8.8 and $5.5, respectively. During each of the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, RSUs of 0.3 vested and were issued. In addition, 0.2 PSUs that vested on December 31, 2015 were issued during the nine months ended September 30, 2016.
The fair value of each NQO grant was estimated on the date of grant using a binomial lattice pricing model that incorporates multiple and variable assumptions over time, including assumptions such as employee exercise patterns, stock price volatility and changes in dividends. The following table details the weighted average assumptions used to measure fair value and the resulting grant date fair value for the first quarter 2016 NQO grants.
Dividend yield | 1.5% |

CAPITAL STOCK
On October 27, 2006, a three-year $1 billion share repurchase program was approved by the Board of Directors (Share Repurchase Program). On December 16, 2008, the provisions of the Share Repurchase Program were modified by the Board of Directors to replace the original three-year term with an indefinite term. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, we repurchased 1.9 and 2.0 shares of common stock for $66.6 and $80.0, respectively, under this program. To date, the Company has repurchased 20.3 shares for $825.9 under the Share Repurchase Program.
Separate from the Share Repurchase Program, the Company repurchased 0.2 shares and 0.1 shares for an aggregate price of $7.8 and $3.9, during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, in settlement of employee tax withholding obligations due upon the vesting of RSUs and PSUs.
On May 16, 2016, we canceled all 15.0 shares in our treasury account. Shares repurchased after May 16, 2016 were canceled following the repurchase.

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 employee benefit matters, government contract issues and commercial or contractual disputes and acquisitions or divestitures. We will continue to defend vigorously against all claims. Although the ultimate outcome of any legal matter cannot be predicted with certainty, based on present information including our assessment of the merits of the particular claim, as well as our current reserves and insurance coverage, we do not expect that such legal proceedings will have a material adverse impact on our financial statements, unless otherwise noted below.
Asbestos Matters
Subsidiaries of ITT, including ITT LLC (f/k/a ITT Corporation) and Goulds Pumps LLC (f/k/a Goulds Pumps, Inc.), have been sued, along with many other legacy companies in product liability lawsuits alleging personal injury due to asbestos exposure. These claims generally allege that certain products sold by our subsidiaries prior to 1985 contained a part manufactured by a third party (e.g., a gasket) which contained asbestos. To the extent these third-party parts may have contained asbestos, it was encapsulated in the gasket (or other) material and was non-friable. As of September 30, 2016, there were approximately 30 thousand pending claims against ITT subsidiaries, 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:
For the Nine Months Ended September 30 (in thousands) | 2016 | |
Pending claims – Beginning | 37 | |
New claims | 3 | |
Settlements | (1 | ) |
Dismissals | (9 | ) |
Pending claims – Ending | 30 |
Frequently, plaintiffs are unable to identify any ITT LLC or Goulds Pumps LLC products as a source of asbestos exposure. Our experience to date is that a majority of resolved claims are dismissed without any payment from ITT subsidiaries. Management believes that a large majority of the pending claims have little or no value. In addition, because claims are sometimes dismissed in large groups, the average cost per resolved claim can fluctuate significantly from period to period. ITT expects more asbestos-related suits will be filed in the future, and ITT will continue to aggressively defend or seek a reasonable resolution, as appropriate.
Asbestos litigation is a unique form of litigation. Frequently, the plaintiff sues a large number of defendants and does not state a specific claim amount. After filing complaint, the plaintiff engages defendants in settlement negotiations to establish a settlement value based on certain criteria, including the number of defendants in the case. Rarely do the plaintiffs seek to collect all damages from one defendant. Rather, they seek to spread the liability, and thus the payments, among many defendants. As a result of this and other factors, the Company is unable to estimate the maximum potential exposure to pending claims and claims estimated to be filed over the next 10 years.
Estimating our exposure to pending asbestos claims and those that may be filed in the future is subject to significant uncertainty and risk as there are multiple variables that can affect the timing, severity, quality, quantity and resolution of claims. Any predictions with respect to the variables impacting the estimate of the asbestos liability and related asset are subject to even greater uncertainty as the projection period lengthens. In light of the uncertainties and variables inherent in the long-term projection of the Company's asbestos exposures, although it is probable that the Company will incur additional costs for asbestos claims filed beyond the next 10 years, which additional costs may be material, we do not believe there is a reasonable basis for estimating those costs at this time.
The asbestos liability and related receivables reflect management's best estimate of future events. However, future events affecting the key factors and other variables for either the asbestos liability or the related receivables could cause actual costs or recoveries to be materially higher or lower than currently estimated. Due to these uncertainties, as well as our inability to reasonably estimate any additional asbestos liability for claims which may be filed beyond the next 10 years, it is difficult to predict the ultimate cost of resolving all pending and unasserted asbestos claims. We believe it is possible that future events affecting the key factors and other variables within
17
the next 10 years, as well as the cost of asbestos claims filed beyond the next 10 years, net of expected recoveries, could have a material adverse effect on our financial statements.
Income Statement Costs/Benefit
In the third quarter of each year, we conduct our annual remeasurement with the assistance of outside consultants in order to review and update the underlying assumptions used in our asbestos liability and related asset estimates. In each remeasurement, the underlying assumptions are updated based on our actual experience since our previous annual remeasurement, and we reassess the appropriate reference period used in determining each assumption and our expectations regarding future conditions, including inflation.
Based on the results of this study, in the third quarter of 2016, we decreased our estimated undiscounted asbestos liability, including legal fees, by $75.9, reflecting a decrease in costs the company estimates will be incurred to resolve all pending claims, as well as unasserted claims estimated to be filed over the next 10 years. The decrease in our estimated liability is a result of several developments, including favorable experience in dismissal rates and settlement values. These favorable factors were offset, in part, by an increase in number of cases expected to be adjudicated. Further, in the third quarter of 2016, the Company increased its estimated asbestos-related assets by $5.9, primarily due to an increase in expected recoveries due to a favorable court decision.
During each of the first and second quarters of 2016, we entered into a settlement agreement with an insurer to settle responsibility for multiple insurance claims. Under the terms of the settlements, the insurers agreed to a payment or specified series of payments to a QSF, resulting in a benefit of $2.6 and a loss of $4.7, respectively.
During the second quarter of 2015, the Company changed its asbestos defense strategy and retained a single firm to defend the Company in all asbestos litigation. This long-term strategy streamlined the Company’s management of cases and significantly reduced defense costs. Our agreement with the defense firm was initially limited to a certain set of claims and the remaining claims were expected to transition within the next four years; however, ITT was able to transition the remaining claims during the second quarter of 2016 as a result of the settlement described above. Based on the terms of the agreement, the Company adjusted its asbestos liability and related assets and recognized a net benefit of $4.9 and $100.7 during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, for the revised estimate of the cost to defend pending claims and claims expected to be filed over the next 10 years.
In addition to the charges associated with our annual remeasurement, we record a net asbestos charge each quarter to maintain a rolling 10-year forecast period. The table below summarizes the total net asbestos charges for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015.

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

In the fourth quarter of 2015, ITT entered into a settlement agreement with one of our insurance providers whereby the provider agreed to pay the net present value of the remaining limits of the policy amounting to approximately $34.2. In the first quarter of 2016, the Company received $2.0 in cash and $32.2 was deposited into a QSF which can be drawn upon to pay certain future environmental expenses associated with remediation sites covered under the policy, including sites owned by a former subsidiary of the Company. The Company recorded $23.0 of deferred income related to the settlement representing the excess of QSF monies over the probable liabilities associated with the covered remediation sites. In addition to the QSF asset, there is a receivable of $2.0 from other third parties for reimbursement of environmental costs. The total environmental-related asset as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 was $34.1 and $12.8, respectively.
We are currently involved with 40 active environmental investigation and remediation sites. At September 30, 2016, we have estimated the potential high-end liability range of environmental-related matters to be $127.7.
As actual costs incurred at identified sites in future periods may vary from our current estimates given the inherent uncertainties in evaluating environmental exposures, management believes it is possible that the outcome of these uncertainties may have a material adverse effect on our financial statements.

Other Matters
The Company is responding to a civil subpoena from the Department of Defense, Office of the Inspector General, which was issued in the second quarter of 2015 as part of an investigation being led by the Civil Division of the U.S. Department of Justice. The subpoena and related investigation involve certain products manufactured by the Company’s Interconnect Solutions segment that are purchased or used by the U.S. government. The Company is cooperating with the government and is unable to estimate the timing or outcome of this matter.

ACQUISITIONS
Wolverine Automotive Holdings
On October 5, 2015, we completed the acquisition of Wolverine Automotive Holdings Inc., the parent company of Wolverine Advanced Materials LLC (Wolverine). Wolverine is a manufacturer of customized technologies for automotive braking systems and specialized sealing solutions for harsh operating environments across a range of industries. The purchase price of $307.0, net of cash acquired, was funded through a combination of cash and borrowings from our revolving credit facility. Wolverine had approximately 680 employees globally as of September 30, 2016. Wolverine reported 2014 revenues of $154, including $17 of sales to ITT.
The allocation of the purchase price is based on the fair value of assets acquired, liabilities assumed and non-controlling interests in Wolverine as of October 5, 2015 and a preliminary estimate of fair value for deferred income taxes. Our assessment of fair value of deferred income taxes will be finalized during the fourth quarter of 2016 and changes to the preliminary estimates will be recorded as adjustments to those deferred income tax assets and liabilities with a corresponding adjustment to goodwill.
The goodwill of $161.9, which has been assigned to the Motion Technologies segment, is not deductible for income tax purposes. Other intangibles acquired include existing customer relationships, proprietary technology, and trade names.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Agreement to Acquire Axtone Railway Group
On November 3, 2016, we entered into an agreement to acquire Axtone Railway Group (Axtone) for cash consideration of $118. The final purchase price is subject to a customary net working capital adjustment. Axtone, with estimated 2016 revenue of $80 and approximately 660 employees, is a manufacturer of highly engineered and customized energy absorption solutions for railway and other harsh-environment industrial markets, including springs, buffers and coupler components that are critical safety technologies. The acquisition is expected to close in the first quarter of 2017, subject to customary closing conditions and appropriate regulatory approvals. Axtone will be reported within the Motion Technologies segment.
Pension Settlement
ITT has initiated a program offering certain former U.S. employees with a vested pension benefit an option to take a one-time lump sum distribution as part of ITT’s overall plan to de-risk its pension plans. Based on an estimate of participants expected to accept the offer, ITT expects to recognize a non-cash pretax pension settlement charge of approximately $18 to $20 in the fourth quarter of 2016.
The impact of the settlement will not materially impact the plans' funded status, future pension expense, or require additional contributions to the plans.

Executive Summary
During the third quarter of 2016, we had a strong emphasis on reducing costs and strategically managing through the current challenging environment and its impact on our key flow end markets, with our continued focus on long-term growth and value creation in areas such as market expansion, capital deployment, risk mitigation, and operational improvements. We continued the structural reset of our Industrial Process segment to optimize and align our business and their respective cost structure to support these challenging market conditions, particularly within oil and gas and mining. Our third quarter results reflect benefits from our on-going Lean transformation and cost actions, as well as from our balanced and diverse portfolio as the impact of difficult markets were mitigated by our continued market share growth and geographic expansion in the transportation end-markets. In relation to capital deployment, we executed nearly $50 of share repurchases during the third quarter and announced a plan to de-risk certain long-term obligations by executing a voluntary pension settlement program in the fourth quarter. We have also reached an agreement to acquire Axtone Railway Group (Axtone), a manufacturer of highly engineered and customized energy absorption solutions for railway and other harsh environment industrial markets. See Note 19, Subsequent Events, in the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for additional information regarding the pending acquisition of Axtone.
Revenue of $581.7 for the third quarter of 2016 decreased $20.2 or 3.4% compared to the prior year, reflecting sales volume declines and pricing challenges at our Industrial Process segment due to the challenging conditions experienced within the oil and gas and mining markets, coupled with on-going revenue softness in the short-cycle North American chemical and industrial pump markets. However, our 2016 third quarter revenue results also reflect 21% growth in the transportation markets, driven by share gains in our automotive brake pad business and incremental benefits from our 2015 Wolverine acquisition at our Motion Technologies segment. Organic revenue, which excludes the impacts from foreign exchange, acquisitions, and divestitures, declined 9.5% compared to the prior year.
Orders received during the third quarter of 2016 were $573.4 reflecting an increase of $43.0, or 8.1%, including incremental benefits of $40.6 from our 2015 acquisition of Wolverine. Organic orders increased 0.5%, as strong growth in transportation markets, primarily from past automotive platform wins that have entered the production cycle, and significant petrochemical pump project orders. The organic order growth was partially offset by lower order activity from industrial and upstream oil and gas markets reflecting weak market conditions resulting from capital project uncertainty, extended deferrals in the aftermarket and replacement cycle, and difficult prior year comparisons.
Operating income of $134.8 for the third quarter of 2016 reflects a $30.9 increase from the prior year primarily due to our annual asbestos remeasurement which resulted in a benefit of $81.8 compared to a $44.8 benefit recognized in the third quarter of 2015. Our operating results for the quarter also reflect productivity improvements across all of our business segments, savings from past restructuring actions, incremental contributions from our 2015 Wolverine acquisition, and lower corporate costs. However, lower Industrial Process segment sales volume and adverse pricing headwinds, as well as lower profitability on complex pump projects and unfavorable foreign currency impacts partially offset the growth in operating income.
Income from continuing operations attributable to ITT during the third quarter of 2016 was $88.3, representing a decrease of $8.2 or 8.5%. The decrease was driven by lower segment operating income, higher income tax expense, and unfavorable foreign currency impacts, which were partially offset by a higher benefit from our annual asbestos remeasurement that was recognized in the third quarter of 2016. Adjusted income from continuing operations, a non-GAAP measure, was $52.0, or $0.58 per diluted share for the third quarter of 2016, representing a decrease of $4.9 or 8.6%.
As we near the end of 2016, we believe that the persistent volatility in the global macroeconomic environment, particularly in the oil and gas end-market, may continue and that these conditions may have an impact to our businesses and financial results. Demand for our products that serve the oil and gas market, primarily pumps and connectors that represented approximately 20% of 2015 revenue, depend substantially on the level of expenditures by the oil and gas industry for development and production. These expenditures are generally dependent on the industry’s view of future demand for oil and natural gas. Oil and gas prices have been volatile and have remained at low levels for a sustained period of time, resulting in lower expenditures by the oil and gas industry. As a result, many of our customers have reduced or delayed spending, thus reducing the demand for our products and exerting downward pressure on the prices for our products. In addition, some of our customers are in regions with significant geopolitical instability, such as Venezuela. These conditions or worsening of economic conditions related to our business could result in the cancellation of contracts or impact the collectability of certain accounts and may have
23
an adverse impact on our results of operations and financial condition including but not limited to further restructuring and impairment charges.
Further details related to these results are contained elsewhere in the Discussion of Financial Results section. Refer to the section titled "Key Performance Indicators and Non-GAAP Measures" for reconciliations between GAAP and non-GAAP metrics.

Industrial Process
Revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 decreased $75.6, or 27.9%, and $195.7, or 24.1%, including an unfavorable foreign currency translation impact of $5.0 and $24.0, respectively. Organic revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 declined $70.6, or 26.1%, and $171.7, or 21.1%, respectively. The decrease in both periods reflects challenging conditions within the oil and gas, mining, and chemical and industrial markets that have driven lower demand for original equipment and replacement parts, as well as the postponement of customer maintenance activities. These market conditions contributed to revenue declines for the projects, baseline pumps and aftermarket portions of our business, of approximately 51%, 17% and 13%, during the three month period ended September 30, 2016, respectively, and declines of 42%, 15% and 12% for the nine month period ended September 30, 2016, respectively.
Orders for the three months ended September 30, 2016 decreased $10.0, or 4.8%, including an unfavorable foreign currency translation impact of $2.0. Organic orders for the three months ended September 30, 2016 decreased $8.0, or 3.8%, primarily driven by a 10% decline in oil and gas pump orders, as weak activity from global upstream and midstream markets was partially offset by solid downstream project and aftermarket activity, as well as a 20% decline in general industrial pumps due to soft North American market conditions and strong prior year project activity. The decline in organic orders was partially offset by a 32% increase in chemical pump orders that reflected increased petrochemical project activity in North America and the Middle East.
Orders for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 decreased $115.6, or 16.4%, including an unfavorable foreign currency translation impact of $20.2. Organic orders for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 decreased $95.4, or 13.6%, due to the challenging market conditions across all markets which has delayed capital projects, as well as customer maintenance and replacement activities that have resulted in lower pump projects, baseline pumps, and aftermarket activity of approximately 22%, 12% and 12%, respectively, as compared to the prior year.
24
Backlog
The level of order and shipment activity related to engineered project pumps can vary significantly from period to period, which may impact the year-over-year comparisons. Backlog as of September 30, 2016 was $370.8, reflecting a decrease of $40.1, or 9.8%, from the December 31, 2015 level. The decrease reflects lower project order intake due to global capital project delays and lower oil and gas and mining orders due to market uncertainty and volatility. The book-to-bill ratio for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 was 1.02 and 0.95, respectively.
Motion Technologies
Revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2016 increased $58.8, or 32.7%, including incremental revenue of $40.1 from our 2015 acquisition of Wolverine. Organic revenue increased $18.2, or 10.1%, driven by growth of approximately 14% within our Friction Technologies business reflecting 19% growth in global OEM from share gains and market strength, mostly driven by China and Europe, and 7% growth in aftermarket due to past platforms shifting to the dealer service cycle as well as favorable independent aftermarket results. Sales from our KONI Shock Absorber business decreased approximately 8%, due to weakness in the rail market in China and North America.
Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 increased $199.8, or 36.0%, including incremental revenue of $126.4 from our 2015 acquisition of Wolverine. Organic revenue increased $73.5, or 13.2%, due to continued strength within our Friction Technologies business as revenue grew 16% compared to prior year. The organic growth in revenue was driven primarily by gains in the OEM channel of approximately 22%, primarily due to global share gains, and OES which delivered 11% sales growth. Independent aftermarket sales also contributed growth of 3%. Sales from our KONI business were flat as revenue growth of 7% in the automotive market was offset by a decline in the rail market activity.
Orders for the three months ended September 30, 2016 increased $59.3, or 33.4%, including additional orders of $40.6 from our acquisition of Wolverine. Orders for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 increased $202.1, or 36.0%, including additional orders of $126.8 from our acquisition of Wolverine. Organic orders increased $17.7, or 10.0%, and $75.1, or 13.4%, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively, primarily due to continued growth by our Friction Technologies business from global share gains on new automotive platforms that are entering production and an expanding customer base. For the three months ended September 30, 2016, KONI orders increased approximately 5% due to solid wins in the China and North America rail market as well as growth in aftermarket products for high performance cars. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, KONI orders increased approximately 6% due to strength in the U.S. defense market related to an existing position on a U.S. military platform.
Interconnect Solutions
Revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 decreased by $4.2, or 5.1%, and $13.2, or 5.4%, including favorable foreign currency translation impacts of $1.0 and $1.4, respectively. Organic revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 declined $5.2, or 6.3%, and $14.6, or 6.0%, respectively, primarily due to the year-over-year weakness in the global oil and gas market that drove lower demand for our upstream connectors. In addition, revenue from end-of-life non-strategic connector platforms declined $1.3 and $3.7 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively.
Orders for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 decreased $11.4, or 13.7%, and $26.3, or 10.5%, including favorable foreign currency translation impacts of $0.8 and $1.2, respectively. Organic orders for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 decreased $12.2, or 14.6%, and $27.5, or 11.0%, respectively, as year-over-year weakness in the upstream oil and gas market drove declines of approximately 40% in both periods, as well as lower defense market order activity of approximately 12% and 9%, respectively. In addition, the quarter-to-date comparison against the prior year reflects lower industrial order activity of approximately 20% primarily due to softness in the U.S. heavy vehicle and off-road market this year and a difficult comparison to a single large prior year order. The year-to-date industrial order activity declined approximately 7% and the decline from end-of-life non-strategic connector platforms was approximately $3 or 14%.
Control Technologies
Revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2016 increased $0.7, or 1.0%, and organic revenue increased $0.4, or 0.6%, which reflects growth in energy absorption products of approximately 20%, aerospace aftermarket spares of approximately 30% and an increase in defense program shipments, which was offset by a difficult prior year commercial OEM comparison and a decline in our Enivate product line.
25
Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 increased $7.1, or 3.4%. Organic revenue increased $1.2, or 0.6%, which excludes the first quarter 2016 incremental benefit from our 2015 acquisition of Hartzell Aerospace of $8.8, as well as revenue of $3.4 from the 2015 period generated by an industrial motors product line that was divested in May 2015 and favorable foreign currency translation impacts of $0.5. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the increase in organic revenue was driven by higher defense program and aerospace aftermarket shipments, partially offset by difficult prior year comparisons in commercial aerospace OEM. Sales of industrial components declined approximately 2% primarily due to general softness in global industrial and energy markets.
Orders for the three months ended September 30, 2016 increased by $5.0, or 8.1%, and organic orders increased $4.8, or 7.7%, primarily due to growth of 16% in aerospace and defense orders due to strong bookings in commercial aerospace OEM and aftermarket, strong defense platform activity, and Hartzell environmental control system (ECS) platform ramp-ups. Organic order growth during the quarter was partially offset by weakness in industrial orders that declined 13% due to energy market dynamics.
Orders for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 increased $18.2, or 8.5%. Organic orders for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 increased $9.0, or 4.2%, which excludes the incremental benefit from our 2015 acquisition of Hartzell Aerospace of $13.4, orders from the prior year of $4.6 associated with the industrial product line sold in May 2015 and favorable foreign currency translation of $0.4. The increase in organic orders was primarily driven by a 38% increase in defense orders primarily due to platform awards received in the first quarter of 2016 which are expected to provide a benefit for multiple years, as well as approximately 9% growth in aerospace aftermarket. The growth in orders was partially offset by lower industrial order intake of approximately 6%, mainly due to challenging energy market dynamics.

General and administrative (G&A) expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2016 decreased $1.0, or 1.7%, while G&A expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 increased $15.4, or 8.2%. The year-over-year comparison for both the quarter and year-to-date periods were unfavorably impacted by incremental costs from the 2015 acquisition of Wolverine of $5.1 and $14.6, higher restructuring costs of $2.2 and $6.0, and unfavorable foreign currency impacts of $3.7 and $7.9, respectively. Conversely, both periods were favorably impacted by lower employee compensation-related costs of $4.4 and $10.0 and lower legal and acquisition-related costs. G&A costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 were also impacted by a trade name impairment of $4.1 recorded in the second quarter of 2016 in our Industrial Process segment as the result of challenging conditions experienced within the upstream oil and gas market. In addition, a favorable warranty resolution of $5.0 from the prior year further contributed to the year-over year increase in G&A expenses during the nine months ended September 30, 2016.
Sales and marketing expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 decreased $3.7, or 8.6% and $10.5, or 7.5%, respectively, primarily reflecting focused cost reductions at Industrial Process due to lower headcount as well as a decrease in commission expense and other variable costs during both periods, partially offset by incremental sales and marketing costs of $1.2 and $3.7, respectively, related to our fourth quarter 2015 acquisition of Wolverine.
26
Research and development (R&D) expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 increased $0.6, or 3.3%, and $3.7, or 6.7%, respectively, primarily reflecting incremental costs of $0.3 and $3.3 related to our acquisition of Wolverine in 2015. In addition, increased product development activities at Motion Technologies were offset by lower R&D spending at Control Technologies during both periods due to the progress made on the development of a major aerospace program.
In the third quarter of 2016, we recognized a net asbestos-related benefit of $68.1 compared to a $30.3 benefit in the prior year, primarily due to a higher benefit from our annual asbestos remeasurement from favorable experience in dismissal rates and settlement values. The lower asbestos-related benefit during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was driven by a $100.7 benefit recognized during the second quarter of 2015, reflecting a new single firm strategy and streamlined case management to assist in reducing asbestos related defense costs. This was partially offset by the higher benefit we recorded in the third quarter of 2016 in relation to the annual asbestos remeasurement. See Note 17, Commitments and Contingencies, to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for further information.

Industrial Process operating income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 decreased $29.7, or 87.4%, and $76.3, or 79.6%, respectively. The decline primarily resulted from lower sales volumes and unfavorable pricing that impacted operating income by approximately $37 and $92 for the quarter and year-to-date periods, respectively. In addition, results were adversely impacted by lower profitability of $5 related to complex pump projects, as well as higher restructuring costs of $2.3 and $9.3 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively, and unfavorable foreign currency impacts of approximately $5 and $12, respectively. The nine months ended September 30, 2016, was also impacted by a trade name impairment of $4.1 recorded during the second quarter of 2016 as the result of challenging conditions experienced within the upstream oil and gas market. In addition, a favorable warranty resolution in 2015 of $5.0 contributed to the unfavorable comparison during the nine months ended September 30, 2016. Incremental savings from restructuring actions and productivity, sourcing and cost control initiatives helped offset these unfavorable impacts by approximately $20 and $56, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively.
Motion Technologies operating income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 increased $12.2, or 37.0%, and $33.8, or 30.5%, respectively. The increase in operating income was driven by higher sales volume which provided a benefit of approximately $9 and $39 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively, but was partially offset by unfavorable pricing. Net savings from productivity, sourcing and cost control initiatives provided a benefit of approximately $6 and $17, respectively. In addition, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, the 2015 acquisition of Wolverine provided an incremental benefit of $3.7 and $13.4 to operating income, but unfavorably impacted operating margin by approximately 180 and 140 basis points, respectively.
27
Interconnect Solutions operating income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 increased $2.2 and $5.0, respectively, as the negative impact of lower volume and unfavorable pricing of approximately $3 and $8 for both periods was offset by lower restructuring costs of $1 and $6 and incremental savings of $2 and $8, respectively, from previous restructuring actions. Shipment delays and other incremental costs related to the operational disruptions from the relocation of certain North American operations experienced during 2015 and the first half of 2016 had an unfavorable impact for the nine month period comparison, but began to see operational improvements in the third quarter of 2016. In addition, the quarter and year-to-date periods of 2016 benefited from favorable foreign currency impacts of approximately $1 and $2, respectively, and net savings from productivity initiatives of approximately $1 and $2, respectively, but were partially offset by higher postretirement-related costs of $1 and $3, respectively.
Control Technologies operating income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 decreased $2.4, or 17.1%, and $6.5, or 16.0%, respectively, primarily related to incremental costs associated with the relocation and consolidation of certain operations to an existing lower-cost facility of $1.3 and $3.4, respectively. In addition, a favorable prior year adjustment of employee-based incentive costs and timing of prior year investment spending further contributed to the year-over-year decrease in both periods. These items were partially offset by net savings from restructuring, productivity, and sourcing initiatives of approximately $1 and $5 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively.
Other corporate costs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 declined by $10.8, or 98.2%, and $12.4, or 43.7%, respectively. The decrease in other corporate costs is primarily due to lower employee incentive-based costs during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 of $6.2 and $9.0, respectively, as well as lower environmental costs of $0.9 and $1.4, and various cost containment actions. The quarter-to-date period benefited from a $2 insurance recovery of previously incurred legal costs.
INTEREST AND NON-OPERATING INCOME AND EXPENSES, NET
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company recognized interest and non-operating expenses, net of $0.3 and $1.5, respectively, compared to interest and non-operating income, net of $4.0 and $2.5 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015. The unfavorable year-over-year change is principally related to interest income of $3.4 recognized during the third quarter of 2015 on prepaid taxes and a $1.6 receivable with Exelis and Xylem, both of which relate to the settlement of the 2009-2011 U.S. income tax audit.
INCOME TAX EXPENSE
For the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company recognized income tax expense of $46.1 and $11.4 and an effective tax rate of 34.3% and 10.6%, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company recognized income tax expense of $75.3 and $53 and an effective tax rate of 32.2% and 16.1%, respectively. The higher effective tax rate in 2016 is primarily driven by an increase in the deferred tax liability on foreign earnings which are not considered indefinitely reinvested, whereas the lower effective tax rate in 2015 was primarily driven by the settlement of a U.S. income tax audit and the release of the valuation allowance on certain net deferred tax assets in China due to positive income in recent years. The Company continues to benefit from a larger mix of earnings in non-U.S. jurisdictions with favorable tax rates.
During the third quarter of 2016, the Company effectively settled the U.S. income tax audit for tax years 2012-2013. The Company recorded a tax benefit of $3.6 in continuing operations, which primarily relates to the realization of previously unrecognized tax positions.
The Company operates in various tax jurisdictions and is subject to examination by tax authorities in these jurisdictions. The Company is currently under examination in several jurisdictions including Canada, Germany, Hong Kong, Italy, Mexico, South Korea, the U.S. and Venezuela. The estimated tax liability calculation for unrecognized tax benefits considers uncertainties in the application of complex tax laws and regulations in various tax jurisdictions. Due to the complexity of some uncertainties, the ultimate resolution may result in a payment that is materially different from the current estimate of the unrecognized tax benefit. Over the next 12 months, the net amount of the tax liability for unrecognized tax benefits in foreign and domestic jurisdictions could change by approximately $18 due to changes in audit status, expiration of statutes of limitations and other events. In addition, the settlement of any future examinations relating to the 2011 and prior tax years could result in changes in amounts attributable to the Company under its existing Tax Matters Agreement with Exelis and Xylem.
28
INCOME FROM DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS, NET OF TAX
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company recognized income from discontinued operations of $1.8 and $2.0, respectively, due to a favorable resolution of certain legacy liabilities in the third quarter of 2016. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company recognized income from discontinued operations of $34.2 and $39.3, respectively, principally related to the settlement of the 2009-2011 U.S. income tax audit during the third quarter of 2015. This included a tax benefit of $38.3 from the recognition of previously unrecognized tax positions, related net interest income of $3.2, and a $13.2 receivable due from Exelis and Xylem, partially offset by net tax expense of $17.4 from unfavorable audit adjustments.
LIQUIDITY
Funding and Liquidity Strategy
We monitor our funding needs and design and execute strategies to meet overall liquidity requirements, including the management of our capital structure, on both a short- and long-term basis. We expect to fund our ongoing working capital, capital expenditures, dividends and financing requirements through cash flows from operations and cash on hand or by accessing the commercial paper market. If our access to the commercial paper market were adversely affected, we believe that alternative sources of liquidity, including our Revolving Credit Agreement, described below, would be sufficient to meet our short-term funding requirements.
We manage our worldwide cash requirements considering available funds among the many subsidiaries through which we conduct business and the cost effectiveness with which those funds can be accessed. We have identified and continue to look for opportunities to access cash balances in excess of local operating requirements to meet our global liquidity needs in a cost-efficient manner. A majority of our cash and cash equivalents is held by our international subsidiaries. We have, and plan to, transfer cash between certain international subsidiaries and the U.S. and other international subsidiaries when it is cost effective to do so. Our intent is generally to indefinitely reinvest these funds outside of the U.S. consistent with our overall intention to support growth and expand in markets outside the U.S. through the development of products, increased non-U.S. capital spending and potentially the acquisition of foreign businesses. However, we have determined that certain undistributed foreign earnings generated in Luxembourg, Japan, Hong Kong, and South Korea should not be considered permanently reinvested outside of the U.S. Cash distributions from foreign countries amounted to $67.0 and $235.0 as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. The timing and amount of additional future remittances, if any, remains under evaluation.
The amount and timing of dividends payable on our common stock are within the sole discretion of our Board of Directors and will be based on, and affected by, a number of factors, including our financial position and results of operations, available cash, expected capital spending plans, prevailing business conditions, and other factors the Board of Directors deems relevant. Therefore, there can be no assurance as to what level of dividends, if any, will be paid in the future. In the third quarter of 2016, we declared a dividend of $0.124 per share for shareholders of record on September 9, 2016, which was paid on October 3, 2016. The dividend declared in the third quarter of 2016 is a 4.8% increase from the prior year.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, we repurchased 1.9 and 2.0 shares of common stock for $66.6 and $80.0, respectively, under our $1 billion share repurchase program. To date, under the program, the Company has repurchased 20.3 shares for $825.9.
Significant factors that affect our overall management of liquidity include our credit ratings, the adequacy of commercial paper and supporting bank lines of credit, and the ability to attract long-term capital on satisfactory terms. We assess these factors along with current market conditions on a continuous basis, and as a result, may alter the mix of our short- and long-term financing when it is advantageous to do so.
We access the commercial paper market to supplement the cash flows generated internally to provide additional short-term funding for strategic investments and other funding requirements. We manage our short-term liquidity through the use of our commercial paper program by adjusting the level of commercial paper borrowings as opportunities to deploy additional capital arise and it is cost effective to do so. As of September 30, 2016, we had an outstanding commercial paper balance of $151.0. The average outstanding commercial paper balance during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was $117.9. There have been no other material changes that have impacted our funding and liquidity capabilities since December 31, 2015.
29
Credit Facilities
Our five-year revolving $500 credit agreement (the Revolving Credit Agreement) provides for increases in principal of up to $200 for a possible maximum total of $700 in aggregate principal amount, at the request of the Company and with the consent of the institutions providing such increased commitments. The Revolving Credit Agreement is intended to provide access to additional liquidity and be a source of alternate funding to the commercial paper program, if needed. Our policy is to maintain unused committed bank lines of credit in an amount greater than outstanding commercial paper balances. The provisions of the Revolving Credit Agreement require that we maintain an interest coverage ratio, as defined in such agreement, of at least 3.0 times and a leverage ratio, as defined in such agreement, of not more than 3.0 times. At September 30, 2016, we had $100.0 outstanding under the Revolving Credit Agreement. As of September 30, 2016, our interest coverage ratio and leverage ratio were within the prescribed thresholds. In the event of certain ratings downgrades of the Company, to a level below investment grade, the direct and indirect significant U.S. subsidiaries of the Company would be required to guarantee the obligations under the credit facility. The Revolving Credit Agreement matures in November 2019.
Sources and Uses of Liquidity
Our principal source of liquidity is our cash flow generated from operating activities, which provides us with the ability to meet the majority of our short-term funding requirements. The following table summarizes net cash derived from operating, investing, and financing activities from continuing operations, as well as net cash from discontinued operations, for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015.
For the Nine Months Ended September 30 | 2016 | 2015 | |||||
Operating activities | $ | 146.7 | $ | 147.1 | |||
Investing activities | (22.5 | ) | (111.4 | ) | |||
Financing activities | (78.4 | ) | (90.2 | ) | |||
Foreign exchange | 9.0 | (23.9 | ) | ||||
Total net cash flow from continuing operations | 54.8 | (78.4 | ) | ||||
Net cash from discontinued operations | 5.3 | (0.7 | ) | ||||
Net change in cash and cash equivalents | $ | 60.1 | $ | (79.1 | ) |
Net cash provided by operating activities was $146.7 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to $147.1 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The change in net cash provided by operating activities primarily reflects a decrease in segment operating income of approximately $26, after adjustments for non-cash charges, such as depreciation and amortization. In addition, we had higher net income tax payments of $12.5, additional asbestos payments of $9.3, higher postretirement contributions of $3.7, and higher restructuring payments of $3.2. However improvements in working capital balances compared to the nine month period ended September 30, 2015, primarily due to focused accounts receivable past due collections, were able to offset the additional cash usages noted above.
Net cash used by investing activities was $22.5 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, compared to a $111.4 net use of cash during the same prior year period. The year-over-year decrease reflects the prior year purchase of Hartzell for $53.5, as well as higher maturities of short-term investments (net of purchases) of $57.8 during 2016. Capital expenditures increased slightly year-over-year with spending in both years focused on capacity expansion projects and system upgrades. In addition, during the second quarter of 2015 we sold a product line within our Control Technologies segment resulting in proceeds of $8.9.
Net cash used by financing activities was $78.4 reflecting a decrease of $11.8 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 primarily due to lower repurchases of ITT common stock of $13.0. Net repayments on amounts outstanding under our revolving credit facility of $50.6 were partially offset by net borrowings of $46.0 under our commercial paper program.
Net cash provided by discontinued operations was $5.3 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The increase of $6.0 is primarily driven by $9.2 received during the second quarter of 2016 related to the Tax Matters Agreement.

Asbestos
Based on the estimated undiscounted asbestos liability as of September 30, 2016 for claims filed or estimated to be filed over the next 10 years, we have estimated that we will be able to recover approximately 41% of the asbestos indemnity and defense costs from our insurers. Actual insurance reimbursements may vary significantly from period to period and the anticipated recovery rate is expected to decline over time due to gaps in our insurance coverage, reflecting uninsured periods, the insolvency of certain insurers, prior settlements with our insurers, and our expectation that certain insurance policies will exhaust within the next 10 years. In the tenth year of our estimate, our insurance recoveries are currently projected to be approximately 15%. Additionally, future recovery rates may be impacted by other factors, such as future insurance settlements, insolvencies, and judicial determinations relevant to our coverage program, which are difficult to predict and subject to a high degree of uncertainty.
While there are overall limits on the aggregate amount of insurance available to the Company with respect to asbestos claims, with respect to certain coverage, those overall limits were not reached by the estimated liability recorded by the Company at September 30, 2016.
Further, there is uncertainty in estimating when cash payments related to the recorded asbestos liability will be fully expended and such cash payments will continue for a number of years beyond the next 10 years due to the significant proportion of future claims included in the estimated asbestos liability and the delay between the date a claim is filed and when it is resolved. Subject to these inherent uncertainties, it is expected that cash payments related to pending claims and claims to be filed in the next 10 years will extend through approximately 2030.
Although asbestos cash outflows can vary significantly from year to year, our current net cash outflows, net of tax benefits, are projected to average $15 to $25 over the next five years, as compared to an average of $12 over the past three annual periods, and increase to an average of approximately $30 to $40 per year over the remainder of the projection period.
In light of the uncertainties and variables inherent in the long-term projection of the Company's asbestos exposures and potential recoveries, although it is probable that the Company will incur additional costs for asbestos claims filed beyond the next 10 years, we do not believe that there is a reasonable basis for estimating the number of future claims, the nature of future claims, or the cost to resolve future claims for years beyond the next 10 years at this time. Accordingly, no liability or related asset has been recorded for any costs that may be incurred for claims asserted subsequent to 2026.
Due to these uncertainties, as well as our inability to reasonably estimate any additional asbestos liability for claims that may be filed beyond the next 10 years, it is difficult to predict the ultimate outcome of the cost of resolving the pending and estimated unasserted asbestos claims. We believe it is possible that the future events affecting the key factors and other variables within the next 10 years, as well as the cost of asbestos claims filed beyond the next 10 years, net of expected recoveries, could have a material adverse effect on our financial statements.

KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS AND NON-GAAP MEASURES
Management reviews a variety of key performance indicators including revenue, segment operating income and margins, earnings per share, order growth, and backlog, among others. In addition, we consider certain measures to be useful to management and investors when evaluating our operating performance for the periods presented. These measures provide a tool for evaluating our ongoing operations and management of assets from period to period. This information can assist investors in assessing our financial performance and measures our ability to generate capital for deployment among competing strategic alternatives and initiatives, including, but not limited to, acquisitions, dividends, and share repurchases. These metrics, however, are not measures of financial performance under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) and should not be considered a substitute for measures determined in accordance with GAAP. We consider the following non-GAAP measures, which may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies, to be key performance indicators:
n | "organic revenue" and "organic orders" are defined as revenue and orders, excluding the impacts of foreign currency fluctuations, acquisitions, and divestitures. Divestitures include sales of portions of our business that did not meet the criteria for presentation as a discontinued operation. The period-over-period change resulting from foreign currency fluctuations is estimated using a fixed exchange rate for both the current and prior periods. Management believes that reporting organic revenue and organic orders provides useful information to investors by helping identify underlying trends in our business and facilitating easier comparisons of our revenue performance with prior and future periods and to our peers. Reconciliations of organic revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 are provided below. |

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
See Note 2 to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for information on recent accounting pronouncements.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
The preparation of ITT's financial statements, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. ITT believes the most complex and sensitive judgments, because of their significance to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements, result primarily from the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the 2015 Annual Report describes the critical accounting estimates that are used in the preparation of the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements. Actual results in these areas could differ from management's estimates. There have been no significant changes concerning ITT's critical accounting estimates as described in our 2015 Annual Report.
ITEM 3. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK |
There has been no material change in the information concerning market risk as stated in our 2015 Annual Report.
ITEM 4. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, such officers have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the last fiscal quarter that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. | LEGAL PROCEEDINGS |
From time to time, we are involved in legal proceedings that are incidental to the operation of our businesses. Some of these proceedings allege damages relating to environmental exposures, intellectual property matters, copyright infringement, personal injury claims, employment and employee benefit matters, government contract issues and commercial or contractual disputes and acquisitions or divestitures. Descriptions of certain legal proceedings to which the Company is a party are contained in Note 17, "Commitments and Contingencies" to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Report and are incorporated by reference herein. Such descriptions include the following recent developments:
Asbestos Proceedings
Subsidiaries of ITT, including ITT LLC and Goulds Pumps LLC, have 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 their products sold prior to 1985 contained a part manufactured by a third party (e.g., a gasket) which contained asbestos. To the extent these third-party parts may have contained asbestos, it was encapsulated in the gasket (or other) material and was non-friable. Frequently, the plaintiffs are unable to identify any ITT LLC or Goulds Pumps LLC products as a source of asbestos exposure. In addition, a large majority of claims pending against the Company subsidiaries have been placed on inactive dockets because the plaintiff cannot demonstrate a significant compensable loss. Our experience to date is that a substantial portion of resolved claims have been dismissed without payment by the Company subsidiaries.
We record a liability for pending asbestos claims and asbestos claims estimated to be filed over the next 10 years. While it is probable that we will incur additional costs for future claims to be filed against the Company, a liability for potential future claims beyond the next 10 years is not reasonably estimable due to the uncertainties and variables inherent in the long-term projection of the Company's asbestos exposures and potential recoveries. As of September 30, 2016, we have recorded an undiscounted asbestos-related liability for pending claims and unasserted claims estimated to be filed over the next 10 years of $951.8, including expected legal fees, and an associated asset of $385.8 which represents estimated recoveries from insurers, resulting in a net asbestos exposure of $566.0.
Other Matters
The Company is responding to a civil subpoena from the Department of Defense, Office of the Inspector General, which was issued in the second quarter of 2015 as part of an investigation being led by the Civil Division of the U.S. Department of Justice. The subpoena and related investigation involve certain products manufactured by the Company’s Interconnect Solutions segment that are purchased or used by the U.S. government. The Company is cooperating with the government and is unable to estimate the timing or outcome of this matter.
ITEM 1A. | RISK FACTORS |
Reference is made to the risk factors set forth in Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors," of our 2015 Annual Report, which are incorporated by reference herein. There has been no material changes with regard to the risk factors disclosed in such report.

As of September 30, 2016, we had repurchased 20.3 shares for $825.9, including commissions, under the Share Repurchase Program. The program is consistent with our capital allocation process, which has centered on those investments necessary to grow our businesses organically and through acquisitions, while also providing cash returns to shareholders. Our strategy for cash flow utilization is to invest in our business, execute strategic acquisitions, pay dividends and repurchase common stock. |

ITEM 5. | OTHER INFORMATION |
Disclosure pursuant to Section 219 of the Iran Threat Reduction & Syria Human Rights Act (ITRA)
This disclosure is made pursuant to Section 219 of the Iran Threat Reduction and Syria Human Rights Act of 2012 which added subsection (r) to Section 13 of the Exchange Act (Section 13(r)). Section 13(r) requires an issuer to disclose in its annual or quarterly reports whether it or any of its affiliates have knowingly engaged in certain activities, transactions or dealings relating to Iran. Disclosure of such activities, transactions or dealings is required even when conducted outside the United States by non-U.S. persons in compliance with applicable law, and whether or not such activities are sanctionable under U.S. law.
In its 2012 Annual Report, ITT described its acquisition of all the shares of Joh. Heinr. Bornemann GmbH (Bornemann) in November 2012, as well as certain activities of Bornemann in Iran and the wind down of those activities in accordance with a General License issued on December 26, 2012 (the General License) by the Office of Foreign Assets Control. As permitted by the General License, on or before March 8, 2013, Bornemann completed the wind-down activities and ceased all activities in Iran. As required to be disclosed by Section 13(r), the gross revenues and operating income to Bornemann from its Iranian activities subsequent to its acquisition by ITT were Euros 2.2 million and Euros 1.5 million, respectively. Prior to its acquisition by ITT, Bornemann issued a performance bond to its Iranian customer in the amount of Euros 1.3 million (the Bond). Bornemann requested that the Bond be canceled prior to March 8, 2013; however, the former customer refused this request and as a result the Bond remains outstanding. Bornemann did not receive gross revenues or operating income, or pay interest, with respect to the Bond in any subsequent periods through September 30, 2016, however, Bornemann did pay fees in 2015 of approximately Euros 11 thousand and fees to date in 2016 of approximately Euros 8 thousand to the German financial institution which is maintaining the Bond.
