NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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

Basis of Presentation

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

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates are revised as additional information becomes available. Estimates and assumptions are used for, but not limited to, asbestos-related liabilities and recoveries from insurers, revenue recognition, unrecognized tax benefits, deferred tax valuation allowances, projected benefit obligations for postretirement plans, accounting for business combinations, goodwill and other intangible asset impairment testing, environmental liabilities, allowance for doubtful accounts and inventory valuation. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

ITT’s quarterly financial periods end on the Saturday that is closest to the last day of the calendar quarter, except for the last quarterly period of the fiscal year, which ends on December 31st. For ease of presentation, the quarterly financial statements included herein are described as ending on the last day of the calendar quarter.

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 Recently Adopted

Leases (ASU 2016-02)

In February 2016, the FASB issued new guidance which updated the accounting for leases in order to increase transparency and comparability of organizations by requiring balance sheet presentation of leased assets and increased financial statement disclosure of leasing arrangements. The new standard requires entities to recognize a liability for their lease obligations and a corresponding right-of-use asset, initially measured at the present value of the lease payments. Subsequent accounting depends on whether the agreement is deemed to be a financing or operating lease. For operating leases, a lessee recognizes its total lease expense as an operating expense over the lease term. For financing leases, a lessee recognizes amortization of the right-of-use asset as an operating

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



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

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

In August 2017, the FASB issued amended guidance that simplifies the requirements of hedge accounting. The ASU enables companies to more accurately present the economic effects of risk management activities in the financial statements. The guidance requires the presentation of all items that affect earnings in the same income statement line as the hedged item and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those fiscal years with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2017-12 on January 1, 2019. The adoption did not result in an impact to our financial results since the Company did not have any derivatives outstanding at the time of adoption. In April of 2019, the Company entered into foreign currency forward contracts to hedge the effect of exchange rate fluctuations on approximately $15 of sales, to which the new guidance will be applied.

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

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

Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

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

In June 2016, the FASB issued updated guidance that requires entities to use a current expected credit loss model to measure credit-related impairments for financial instruments held at amortized cost, including trade receivables. The current expected credit loss model is based on relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect collectability. Current expected credit losses, and subsequent adjustments, represent an estimate of lifetime expected credit losses that are recorded as an allowance deducted from the amortized cost of the financial instrument. The updated guidance also amends the other-than-temporary impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities by requiring the recognition of impairments for credit-related losses through an allowance and eliminating the length of time a security has been in an unrealized loss position as a consideration in the determination of whether a credit loss exists. The updated guidance is effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2020 and will be adopted using a modified retrospective transition approach for the provisions related to application of the current expected credit loss model to financial instruments and using a prospective transition approach for the provisions related to credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of adoption on our financial statements.

NOTE 3

SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company’s segments are reported on the same basis used by our Chief Executive Officer, who is also our chief operating decision maker, for evaluating performance and for allocating resources. Our three reportable segments are referred to as: Motion Technologies, Industrial Process, and Connect & Control Technologies.

Motion Technologies manufactures brake components and specialized sealing solutions, shock absorbers and damping technologies primarily for the global automotive, truck and trailer, bus and rail transportation markets.

Contract Assets and Liabilities

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



	March 31, 2019				December 31, 2018				Change
Current contract assets		$	22.6			$	21.8			3.7	%
Non-current contract assets		0.7				0.7				—	%
Current contract liabilities		(58.9		)		(61.0		)		(3.4	)%
Net contract liabilities		$	(35.6	)		$	(38.5	)		(7.5	)%

During the three months ended March 31, 2019, we recognized revenue of $21.8, related to contract liabilities as of December 31, 2018. For contracts greater than one year, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to unsatisfied or partially satisfied performance obligations as of March 31, 2019 was $49.9. Of this amount, we expect to recognize approximately $30 to $35 of revenue during 2019.

NOTE 5

INCOME TAXES



	2019			2018			Change
Income tax expense	$	19.7		$	7.6		159.2	%
Effective tax rate	21.6		%	7.0		%	1460bp

The higher effective tax rate in 2019, is primarily due to 2018 tax benefits of $21.6 from the reversal of valuation allowances on German deferred tax assets and a $4.5 reduction to the provisional one-time tax charge associated with the Tax Act.

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, Czech Republic, Germany, Hong Kong, India, Italy, Japan, Mexico, the U.S. and Venezuela. The estimated tax liability calculation for unrecognized tax benefits considers uncertainties in the application of complex tax laws and regulations in various tax jurisdictions. Due to the complexity of some 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 $15 due to changes in audit status, expiration of statutes of limitations and other events. In addition, the settlement of any future examinations relating to the 2011 and prior tax years could result in changes in amounts attributable to the Company under its Tax Matters Agreement with Exelis Inc. and Xylem Inc. relating to the Company’s 2011 spin-off of those businesses.

The Company has elected to account for Global Intangible Low Tax Income as a current period expense when incurred.

NOTE 13

LEASES

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

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

The table below summarizes the operating lease costs during the three months ended March 31, 2019.



Operating lease cost	$	5.6
Short-term lease cost	0.4
Variable lease cost	0.3
Total lease costs	$	6.3

Future operating lease payments under non-cancellable operating leases with an initial term in excess of 12 months as of March 31, 2019 are shown below.

Our lease portfolio has a weighted average remaining lease term of 14.9 years, and the weighted average discount rate is 3.1%. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, we recognized non-cash right-of-use assets of $1.7 for new leases entered into during the period. Operating cash outflows from operating leases during the three months ended March 31, 2019 were $5.2.

Liability-based awards	0.7		0.1
Total share-based compensation expense	$	5.2	$	4.6

At March 31, 2019, there was $27.7 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested equity awards. This cost is expected to be recognized ratably over a weighted-average period of 2.3 years. Additionally, unrecognized compensation cost related to liability-based awards was $2.7, which is expected to be recognized ratably over a weighted-average period of 1.9 years.

Year-to-Date 2019 LTIP Activity

The majority of our LTIP awards are granted during the first quarter of each year and vest on the completion of a three-year service period. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, we granted the following LTIP awards as provided in the table below:

During the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, 0.2 and 0.1 non-qualified stock options were exercised resulting in proceeds of $5.1 and $0.6, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, RSUs of 0.2 and 0.1 vested and were issued, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, PSUs of 0.2 and 0.1 that vested on December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, were issued.

NOTE 17

CAPITAL STOCK

On October 27, 2006, a three-year $1 billion share repurchase program (the Share Repurchase Program) was approved by the Board of Directors. 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 three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, we repurchased and retired 0.2 and 1.0 shares of common stock for $10.5 and $50.0, respectively, under this program. To date, the Company has repurchased 22.4 shares for $919.9 under the Share Repurchase Program.

Separate from the Share Repurchase Program, the Company repurchased 0.2 and 0.1 shares during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, for an aggregate price of $9.4 and $5.3, respectively, in settlement of employee tax withholding obligations due upon the vesting of RSUs and PSUs.

NOTE 19

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

From time to time, we are involved in legal proceedings that are incidental to the operation of our businesses. Some of these proceedings allege damages relating to asbestos and environmental exposures, intellectual property matters, copyright infringement, personal injury claims, employment and employee benefit matters, government contract issues and commercial or contractual disputes and acquisitions or divestitures. We will continue to defend vigorously against all claims. Although the ultimate outcome of any legal matter cannot be predicted with certainty, based on present information including our assessment of the merits of the particular claim, as well as our current reserves and insurance coverage, we do not expect that such legal proceedings will have a material adverse impact on our financial statements, unless otherwise noted below.

Asbestos Matters

Subsidiaries of ITT, including ITT LLC and Goulds Pumps LLC, have been sued, along with many other companies in product liability lawsuits alleging personal injury due to asbestos exposure. These claims generally allege that certain products sold by our subsidiaries prior to 1985 contained a part manufactured by a third party (e.g., a gasket) which contained asbestos. To the extent these third-party parts may have contained asbestos, it was encapsulated in the gasket (or other) material and was non-friable. As of March 31, 2019, there were approximately 24 thousand pending claims against ITT subsidiaries, including Goulds Pumps LLC, filed in various state and federal courts alleging injury as a result of exposure to asbestos. Activity related to these asserted asbestos claims during the period was as follows:



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

Frequently, plaintiffs are unable to identify any ITT LLC or Goulds Pumps LLC products as a source of asbestos exposure. Our experience to date is that a majority of resolved claims are dismissed without any payment from ITT subsidiaries. Management believes that a large majority of the pending claims have little or no value. In addition, because claims are sometimes dismissed in large groups, the average cost per resolved claim can fluctuate significantly from period to period. ITT expects more asbestos-related suits will be filed in the future, and ITT will continue to aggressively defend or seek a reasonable resolution, as appropriate.

Asbestos litigation is a unique form of litigation. Frequently, the plaintiff sues a large number of defendants and does not state a specific claim amount. After filing a complaint, the plaintiff engages defendants in settlement negotiations to establish a settlement value based on certain criteria, including the number of defendants in the case. Rarely do the plaintiffs seek to collect all damages from one defendant. Rather, they seek to spread the liability, and thus the payments, among many defendants. As a result of this and other factors, the Company is unable to estimate the maximum potential exposure to pending claims and claims estimated to be filed over the next 10 years.

Estimating our exposure to pending asbestos claims and those that may be filed in the future is subject to significant uncertainty and risk as there are multiple variables that can affect the timing, severity, quality, quantity and resolution of claims. Any predictions with respect to the variables impacting the estimate of the asbestos liability and related asset are subject to even greater uncertainty as the projection period lengthens. In light of the variables and uncertainties inherent in the long-term projection of the Company’s asbestos exposures, while it is probable that the Company will incur additional costs for asbestos claims filed beyond the next 10 years, which additional costs may be material, we do not believe there is a reasonable basis for estimating those costs at this time.

The asbestos liability and related receivables reflect management’s best estimate of future events. However, future events affecting the key factors and other variables for either the asbestos liability or the related receivables could cause actual costs or recoveries to be materially higher or lower than currently estimated. Due to these uncertainties, as well as our inability to reasonably estimate any additional asbestos liability for claims which may be filed beyond the next 10 years, it is difficult to predict the ultimate cost of resolving all pending and unasserted asbestos claims. We believe it is possible that future events affecting the key factors and other variables within the next 10 years, as well as the cost of asbestos claims filed beyond the next 10 years, net of expected recoveries, could have a material adverse effect on our financial statements.

Asbestos-Related Costs, Net

As part of our ongoing review of our net asbestos exposure, each quarter we assess the most recent qualitative and quantitative data available for the key inputs and assumptions, comparing the data to expectations on which the most recent annual liability and asset estimates were calculated. Based on this evaluation, the Company determined that no change in the estimate was warranted for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 other than the incremental accrual to maintain a rolling 10-year forecast period.

The following table provides a rollforward of the estimated asbestos liability and related assets for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018.

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

Environmental Matters

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

The following table provides a rollforward of the estimated environmental liability for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018.



For the Three Months Ended March 31	2019			2018
Environmental liability - beginning balance	$	66.8		$	73.9
Change in estimates for pre-existing accruals	(0.1		)	2.6

Environmental liability - ending balance	$	64.0		$	68.5


(a)	Includes cash payments for the three months ended March 31, 2018 of $6.6 related to the sale of a former operating location.

Environmental-related assets represent estimated recoveries from insurance providers and other third parties. Environmental-related assets as of March 31, 2019 and 2018 were $23.4 in both periods.

We are currently involved with 30 active environmental investigation and remediation sites. At March 31, 2019, we have estimated the potential high-end liability range of environmental-related matters to be $114.2.

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 received a civil subpoena from the Department of Defense, Office of the Inspector General, in the second quarter of 2015 as part of an investigation being led by the Civil Division of the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ). The subpoena and related investigation involve certain connector products manufactured by the Company’s Connect & Control Technologies segment that are purchased or used by the U.S. government. In the first quarter of 2019, the Company reached an agreement-in-principle with DOJ to settle this matter for $11 to avoid the expense and uncertainty of litigation. The agreement-in-principle is fully accrued in the Company’s financial results for the first quarter of 2019.

Executive Summary

In the first quarter of 2019, ITT delivered strong operational results, which included significant segment operating income and margin growth. These results were driven by our continued focus on operational excellence and strategies to win share in key global end markets. This year, we are also implementing many important initiatives that will enable us to continue to drive top-line growth, margin expansion and strong cash generation.

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

Our first quarter 2019 results include:

•

Revenue of $695.5 increased $6.2, or 0.9%. Excluding an unfavorable foreign currency impact of $28.6, organic revenue increased 5.0% driven by our IP and CCT segments, partially offset by softness in MT. The IP segment benefited from growth across all end markets due to a strong performance from pump projects and the short-cycle business. CCT’s revenue increase was most notable in aerospace and defense connectors along with commercial aerospace aftermarket and components. This was partially offset by MT due to weakness in the global auto market.

•

Orders of $738.9 decreased $22.3, or 2.9%. Excluding unfavorable foreign currency of $33.0, organic orders increased 1.4% driven by strong IP demand in the oil and gas and industrial markets. In addition, CCT orders increased on significant connector and component platform wins in the defense market. Excluding a $14 prior year Russian rail order, ITT organic orders increased 3% led by major wins in the global rail market.

•

Operating income of $90.6 decreased $20.0, or 18.1%, due to a prior year asbestos-related insurance settlement of $32.1, which was partially offset by segment operating income growth of $8.7, or 8.5%, and a reduction in corporate costs. The increase in segment operating income was driven by sales volume leverage along with manufacturing and supply chain improvements, partially offset by higher commodity costs and tariffs, as well as unfavorable product mix and foreign currency impacts. As a result, we were able to deliver a segment operating margin of 15.9%, which represented a 110 basis point improvement.

•

Income from continuing operations of $0.80 per diluted share decreased $0.34, primarily due to a prior year asbestos-related insurance settlement ($0.36 per share) and favorable prior year tax items ($0.20 per share), which included the reversal of certain valuation allowances. These prior year items more than offset the EPS benefits from higher segment operating income, a reduction in corporate costs, lower interest expense, and the benefit attributable to a favorable tax rate, partially offset by an unfavorable foreign currency impact of $0.03. Adjusted income from continuing operations was $0.91 per diluted share, reflecting a $0.14, or 18.2%, increase compared to the prior year.

In terms of capital deployment, we continued to make strategic investments to accelerate global expansion of our Industrial Process segment, including the acquisition of Rheinhütte Pumpen Group (Rheinhütte), which closed in the second quarter of 2019, as well as investments in i-Alert data analytics technology. In our CCT business we are making investments that will allow us to in-source portions of our supply chain. In addition, within our MT business we continue to ramp up production at our global facilities. During the quarter we returned $24 to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases.

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

Motion Technologies (MT)

MT revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $315.2, a decrease of $27.0, or 7.9%, which included an unfavorable foreign currency translation impact of $22.5. Organic revenue decreased $4.5, or 1.3%, primarily due to global auto market weakness, that was partially offset by strength in rail. Friction organic revenue declined 1%, but outpaced the global auto market by approximately 500 basis points on share gains in North America. KONI sales grew 17% primarily from rail market share gains in Europe and Asia, offset by a decline at Wolverine.

Orders for the three months ended March 31, 2019 were $331.5, a decrease of $38.4, or 10.4%, including an unfavorable foreign currency translation impact of $25.5. Organic orders declined $12.9, or 3.5% due to a $14 prior year Russian rail order. Excluding the prior year rail order, MT organic orders were flat as major wins in the global rail market offset weakness in our Wolverine business.

Industrial Process (IP)

IP revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $215.7, an increase of $25.9, or 13.6%, which included an unfavorable foreign currency translation impact of $3.8. Organic revenue increased $29.7, or 15.6% driven by solid growth across major end markets, products and geographies. This included a 47% increase in revenue from projects and a 9% increase in revenue from our short-cycle businesses. The increase in revenue from pump projects was driven by strength in the chemical, mining, and oil and gas markets. Within our short-cycle businesses, organic revenue from aftermarket parts and service increased 8% due to solid demand in the oil and gas, chemical, and industrial markets. In addition, revenue from valves and baseline pumps increased 12% and 9%, respectively.

Orders for the three months ended March 31, 2019 were $219.0, an increase of $8.9, or 4.2%, including an unfavorable foreign currency translation impact of $4.7. Organic orders increased $13.6, or 6.5%, due to a 10% increase in aftermarket and a 15% increase in pump project orders. The increase in aftermarket orders was due to strong demand for both parts and service, primarily in North America and Latin America within the oil and gas and general industrial markets. The increase in project orders was driven by favorable market conditions in North America in the oil and gas and general industrial markets. This was partially offset by a 3% decline in baseline pump orders due to weakness in the mining and chemical markets.

The level of order and shipment activity related to project pumps can vary significantly from period to period, which may impact year-over-year comparisons. IP’s backlog as of March 31, 2019 was $444.1, flat compared to December 31, 2018.

Connect & Control Technologies (CCT)

CCT revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $165.0, an increase of $7.1, or 4.5%, which included an unfavorable foreign currency translation impact of $2.4. Organic revenue increased $9.5, or 6.0%, primarily driven by an 18% increase in defense on connector strength and a 12% increase in commercial aerospace on strength in OEM and aftermarket connectors and components. This was partially offset by a 4% decline in industrial markets.

Orders for the three months ended March 31, 2019 were $189.1, an increase of $7.3, or 4.0%, which included an unfavorable foreign currency translation impact of $2.8. Organic orders increased $10.1, or 5.6%, due to a 14% increase in the aerospace and defense market, partially offset by an 8% decline in the industrial market. The increase in orders within the aerospace and defense market was driven by strength in North America from new program wins for defense connectors and components, partially offset by lower rotorcraft orders. The decline in industrial market orders was driven by weakness in connectors.

On July 11, 2017, the U.S. Defense Logistics Agency, Land and Maritime (DLA) issued a notice that it had removed our connectors business from the Qualified Products List (QPL) with respect to six military-specification connector products. At the time of this notice, these products had been subject to a previously-disclosed stop shipment/stop production order issued by DLA in the first quarter of 2017. Annual sales of these military-specification connectors were estimated to range from $8 to $10 prior to the removal of these products from the QPL. The Company is making progress and expects to restore its status of certain products on the QPL beginning in the first half of 2019. At this time, there is uncertainty whether there will be any further impacts to our revenue and results of operations related to the QPL removal.

GROSS PROFIT

Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $218.8, reflecting a gross margin of 31.5%. Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was $224.2 reflecting a gross margin of 32.5%. The decline in gross profit was primarily due to higher commodity costs and tariffs, unfavorable foreign currency translation, and unfavorable product mix. This was partially offset by sales volume leverage and manufacturing and supply chain productivity improvements across all segments.

OTHER

Tariffs

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

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2019 decreased $13.2, or 20.3%, due to European investment incentives of $4.6, a favorable foreign currency impact of $2.8, lower legal costs of $2, and benefits from cost reduction actions.

Sales and marketing expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2019 decreased $3.3, or 7.6%, due to a reduction in marketing costs of $2 as well as a favorable foreign currency impact of $1.2.

Research and development expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2019 decreased $1.2, or 4.9%, primarily due to a favorable foreign currency impact of $1.

During the three months ended March 31, 2019, we recorded asbestos-related costs of $12.6 compared to an asbestos-related benefit of $19.7 for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The change was primarily due to a $32.1 benefit from an insurance settlement recorded in the first quarter of 2018. See Note 19, Commitments and Contingencies, to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for further information.

MT operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2019 decreased $1.0, or 1.6%, to $60.9, but margin improved 120 basis points. The decrease in operating income is primarily driven by higher commodity costs and tariffs, unfavorable contract pricing, and lower sales volumes. This was partially offset by improvements in operating and supply chain productivity which provided a benefit of $8. In addition, unfavorable foreign currency impacts of $5 were offset by European investment incentives.

IP operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2019 increased $5.3, or 31.4%, to $22.2, a margin improvement 140 basis points. The increase was primarily driven by a benefit of $12 from favorable volume and pricing, partially offset by unfavorable sales mix of $6 and tariffs.

CCT operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2019 increased $4.4, or 19.1%, to $27.4, a margin improvement 200 basis points. The increase was driven by sales volume leverage and net productivity actions.

Other corporate costs for the three months ended March 31, 2019 decreased $3.6, or 33.0% compared to the prior year. The decrease was primarily driven by lower legal and environmental costs, as well as favorable returns on corporate owned life insurance policies.

LIQUIDITY

Funding and Liquidity Strategy

We monitor our funding needs and design and execute strategies to meet overall liquidity requirements, including the management of our capital structure, on both a short- and long-term basis. We expect to fund our ongoing working capital, capital expenditures, dividends and financing requirements through cash flows from operations and cash on hand, or by accessing the U.S. or European commercial paper markets or our Revolving Credit Agreement.

We manage our worldwide cash requirements considering available funds among the many subsidiaries through which we conduct business and the cost effectiveness with which those funds can be accessed. We have identified and continue to look for opportunities to access cash balances in excess of local operating requirements to meet our global liquidity needs in a cost-efficient manner. We plan to transfer cash between certain international subsidiaries and the U.S. and other international subsidiaries when it is cost effective to do so. The passage of the Tax Act provides greater flexibility around our global cash management strategy related to the amount and timing of transfers, and we will continue to support growth and expansion in markets outside of the U.S. through the development of products, increased capital spending, and potential foreign acquisitions. During the year ended December 31, 2018 we had net cash distributions from foreign countries to the U.S. of $318.1. We did not have any distributions during the first quarter of 2019. The timing and amount of any additional future distributions remains under evaluation.

The amount and timing of dividends payable on our common stock are within the sole discretion of our Board of Directors and will be based on, and affected by, a number of factors, including our financial position and results of operations, available cash, expected capital spending plans, prevailing business conditions and other factors the Board of Directors deems relevant. Therefore, there can be no assurance as to what level of dividends, if any, will be paid in the future. In the first quarter of 2019, we declared a dividend of $0.147 per share for shareholders of record on March 11, 2019, which was paid on March 29, 2019. The dividend declared in the first quarter of 2019 is a 9.7% increase from the first quarter of 2018.

During the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, we repurchased and retired 0.2 and 1.0 shares of common stock for $10.5 and $50.0, respectively, under our $1 billion share repurchase program. To date, under the program, the Company has repurchased 22.4 shares for $919.9.

Significant factors that affect our overall management of liquidity include our credit ratings, the availability of commercial paper, access to bank lines of credit, and the ability to attract long-term capital on satisfactory terms. We assess these factors along with current market conditions on a continuous basis, and as a result, may alter the mix of our short- and long-term financing when it is advantageous to do so.

Commercial Paper

We have access to the commercial paper market through programs in place in the U.S. and Europe to supplement cash flows generated internally and to provide additional short-term funding for strategic investments and other funding requirements. We manage our short-term liquidity through the use of our commercial paper program by adjusting the level of commercial paper borrowings as opportunities to deploy additional capital arise and it is cost effective to do so. As of March 31, 2019, we had outstanding commercial paper of $112.3 through our European program. The average outstanding commercial paper balance during the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $113.0. In connection with completing of our acquisition of Rheinhütte on April 29, 2019, we borrowed European commercial paper of €50. There have been no other material changes that have impacted our funding and liquidity capabilities since December 31, 2018.

Revolving Credit Agreement

Our $500 revolving credit agreement (the Revolving Credit Agreement) provides for increases of up to $200 for a possible maximum total of $700 in aggregate principal amount, at the request of the Company and with the consent of the institutions providing such increased commitments. The Revolving Credit Agreement is intended to provide access to additional liquidity and be a source of alternate funding to the commercial paper program, if needed. Our policy is to maintain unused committed bank lines of credit in an amount greater than outstanding commercial paper balances. The provisions of the Revolving Credit Agreement require that we maintain an interest coverage ratio, as defined therein, of at least 3.0 and a leverage ratio, as defined therein, of not more than 3.0. Our interest coverage ratio and leverage ratio were within the prescribed thresholds as of March 31, 2019, and there were no outstanding borrowings under our Revolving Credit Agreement. In the event of a ratings downgrade of the Company to a level below investment grade, the direct and indirect significant U.S. subsidiaries of the Company would be required to guarantee the obligations under the Revolving Credit Agreement. The Revolving Credit Agreement matures in November 2021.

Sources and Uses of Liquidity

Our principal source of liquidity is our cash flow generated from operating activities, which provides us with the ability to meet the majority of our short-term funding requirements. The following table summarizes net cash derived from operating, investing, and financing activities from continuing operations, as well as net cash from discontinued operations, for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018.



For the Three Months Ended March 31	2019			2018
Operating activities	$	42.1		$	42.4
Investing activities	(28.8		)	(28.2		)
Financing activities	(21.0		)	27.7
Foreign exchange	0.7			8.2
Total net cash flow (used in) provided by continuing operations	(7.0		)	50.1
Net cash used in discontinued operations	(0.4		)	(1.2		)
Net change in cash and cash equivalents	$	(7.4	)	$	48.9

Operating Activities

The change in net cash provided by operating activities reflects an improvement of segment operating income of approximately $10, after adjustments for non-cash charges, such as depreciation and amortization. In addition, during the first quarter of 2019, we received $9 related to an intellectual property settlement, and had lower environmental and asbestos payments of $7.4 and $2.9, respectively. These items were offset by net proceeds of $19.0 in 2018 from an insurance-related settlement and timing of trade receivable collections.

Investing Activities

The change in net cash used in investing activities was driven by a $0.5 increase in capital expenditures.

Financing Activities

The change in net cash from financing activities was driven by a decrease in net borrowings of $75.7 and a $13 increase in dividends paid due to timing. This was partially offset by a decline of $35.4 in repurchases of ITT common stock and an increase of $4.5 from employee stock option exercises.

Discontinued Operations

The decrease in net cash used in discontinued operations was primarily driven by lower payments for environmental remediation activities.

Asbestos

Based on the estimated undiscounted asbestos liability as of March 31, 2019 for claims filed or estimated to be filed over the next 10 years, we have estimated that we will be able to recover approximately 44% of the asbestos indemnity and defense costs from our insurers. Actual insurance reimbursements may vary significantly from period to period and the anticipated recovery rate is expected to decline over time due to gaps in our insurance coverage, reflecting uninsured periods, the insolvency of certain insurers, prior settlements with our insurers and our expectation that certain insurance policies will exhaust within the next 10 years. In the 10th year of our estimate, our insurance recoveries are currently projected to be approximately 21%. 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 March 31, 2019.

Further, there is uncertainty in estimating when cash payments related to the recorded asbestos liability will be fully expended and such cash payments will continue for a number of years beyond the next 10 years due to the significant proportion of future claims included in the estimated asbestos liability and the delay between the date a claim is filed and when it is resolved. Subject to these inherent uncertainties, it is expected that cash payments related to pending claims and claims to be filed in the next 10 years will extend through approximately 2032.

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

In light of the variables and uncertainties inherent in the long-term projection of the Company’s asbestos exposures and potential recoveries, while it is probable that the Company will incur additional costs for asbestos claims filed beyond the next 10 years, we do not believe that there is a reasonable basis for estimating the number of future claims, the nature of future claims, or the cost to resolve future claims for years beyond the next 10 years at this time. Accordingly, no liability or related asset has been recorded for any costs that may be incurred for claims asserted subsequent to 2029.

Due to these uncertainties, as well as our inability to reasonably estimate any additional asbestos liability for claims that may be filed beyond the next 10 years, it is difficult to predict the ultimate outcome of the cost of resolving the pending and estimated unasserted asbestos claims. We believe it is possible that the future events affecting the key factors and other variables within the next 10 years, as well as the cost of asbestos claims filed beyond the next 10 years, net of expected recoveries, could have a material adverse effect on our financial statements.

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, some of which are non-GAAP financial measures. In addition, we consider certain other measures to be useful to management and investors when evaluating our operating performance for the periods presented. These measures provide a tool for evaluating our ongoing operations and management of assets from period to period. This information can assist investors in assessing our financial performance and measures our ability to generate capital for deployment among competing strategic alternatives and initiatives, including, but not limited to, acquisitions, dividends, and share repurchases. These other metrics, however, are not measures of financial performance under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) and should not be considered a substitute for measures determined in accordance with GAAP.

We consider the following non-GAAP measures, which may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies, to be key performance indicators:

•

“Organic revenue” and “organic orders” are defined as revenue and orders, excluding the impacts of foreign currency fluctuations, acquisitions, and divestitures. Divestitures include sales of portions of our business that did not meet the criteria for presentation as a discontinued operation. The period-over-period change resulting from foreign currency fluctuations is estimated using a fixed exchange rate for both the current and prior periods. Management believes that reporting organic revenue and organic orders provides useful information to investors by helping identify underlying trends in our business and facilitating easier comparisons of our revenue performance with prior and future periods and to our peers. Reconciliations of organic revenue and orders for the three months ended March 31, 2019 are provided below.

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


•	“Adjusted segment operating margin” is defined as adjusted segment operating income divided by revenue.

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


•	“Adjusted income from continuing operations per diluted share” is defined as adjusted income from continuing operations divided by diluted weighted average common shares outstanding.

A reconciliation of adjusted income from continuing operations, including adjusted income from continuing operations per diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 is provided below.

(a)

Tax-related special items during the first quarter of 2019 primarily relate to the release of a valuation allowance and excess tax benefits related to stock compensation, partially offset by tax expense on undistributed foreign earnings. Tax-related special items during the first quarter of 2018 primarily relate to the release of a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets in Germany and adjustments to our

provisional tax estimate associated with the Tax Act. These items were partially offset by tax expense on undistributed foreign earnings.


(b)	Costs associated with DOJ civil matter.

•

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


•	“Adjusted free cash flow conversion” is defined as adjusted free cash flow divided by adjusted income from continuing operations.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

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

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

The preparation of ITT’s financial statements, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. ITT believes the most complex and sensitive judgments, because of their significance to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements, result primarily from the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the 2018 Annual Report describes the critical accounting estimates that are used in the preparation of the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements. Actual results in these areas could differ from management’s estimates. There have been no significant changes concerning ITT’s critical accounting estimates as described in our 2018 Annual Report.



ITEM 3.	QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

There has been no material change in the information concerning market risk as stated in our 2018 Annual Report.



ITEM 4.	CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, such officers have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the last fiscal quarter that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION



ITEM 1.	LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

From time to time, we are involved in legal proceedings that are incidental to the operation of our businesses. Some of these proceedings allege damages relating to asbestos and environmental exposures, intellectual property matters, copyright infringement, personal injury claims, employment and employee benefit matters, government contract issues and commercial or contractual disputes and acquisitions or divestitures. Descriptions of certain legal proceedings to which the Company is a party are contained in Note 19, Commitments and Contingencies to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Report and are incorporated by reference herein. Such descriptions include the following recent developments:

Asbestos Proceedings

Subsidiaries of ITT, ITT LLC and Goulds Pumps LLC, are joined as a defendant with numerous other companies in product liability lawsuits alleging personal injury due to asbestos exposure. These claims allege that certain of their products sold prior to 1985 contained a part manufactured by a third party (e.g., a gasket) which contained asbestos. To the extent these third-party parts may have contained asbestos, it was encapsulated in the gasket (or other) material and was non-friable. Frequently, the plaintiffs are unable to identify any ITT LLC or Goulds Pumps LLC products as a source of asbestos exposure. In addition, a large majority of claims pending against the Company subsidiaries have been placed on inactive dockets because the plaintiff cannot demonstrate a significant compensable loss. Our experience to date is that a substantial portion of resolved claims have been dismissed without payment by the Company’s subsidiaries.

We record a liability for pending asbestos claims and asbestos claims estimated to be filed over the next 10 years. While it is probable that we will incur additional costs for future claims to be filed against the Company, a liability for potential future claims beyond the next 10 years is not reasonably estimable due to the variables and uncertainties inherent in the long-term projection of the Company’s asbestos exposures and potential recoveries. As of March 31, 2019, we have recorded an undiscounted asbestos-related liability for pending claims and unasserted claims estimated to be filed over the next 10 years of $844.9, including expected legal fees, and an associated asset of $369.6 which represents estimated recoveries from insurers, resulting in a net asbestos exposure of $475.3.

On October 27, 2006, our Board of Directors approved a three-year $1 billion Share Repurchase Program. On December 16, 2008, our Board of Directors modified the provisions of the Share Repurchase Program to replace the original three-year term with an indefinite term. As of March 31, 2019, we had repurchased 22.4 shares for $919.9, 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 €2.2 euros and €1.5 euros, respectively. Prior to its acquisition by ITT, Bornemann issued a performance bond to its Iranian customer in the amount of €1.3 euros (the Bond). Bornemann requested that the Bond be canceled prior to March 8, 2013; however, the former customer refused this request and as a result the Bond remains outstanding. Bornemann did not receive gross revenues or operating income, or pay interest, with respect to the Bond in any subsequent periods through March 31, 2019, however, Bornemann did pay fees of approximately €3 thousand euros during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and approximately €11 thousand euros during 2018 to the German financial institution which is maintaining the Bond.
