We believe that theyear ended December 31, 2018 but does not include all disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.required by GAAP. We consistently applied the accounting policies described in ITT'sthe 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 (2016 Annual Report) in preparing these unaudited financial statements.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 20162018 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.

For ease of presentation, the quarterly financial statements included herein are described as ending on the last day of the calendar quarter.
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

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
In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2016-09 to simplify several aspects of the accounting standard for employee share-based payment transactions, including the classification of excess tax benefits and deficiencies and the accounting for employee forfeitures. ITT elected to adopt this guidance as of January 1, 2017 which includes 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 will be recognized on the Statements of Operations as a tax expense or benefit. On 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. These provisions were adopted using a prospective method of transition. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we recorded an income tax benefit of $1.2, on the Statement of Operations and classified this benefit on the Statement of Cash Flows as an operating activity. The income tax benefit for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was less than $0.1. The excess tax benefit of $3.4 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was recorded as a change in equity on the Balance Sheet and was classified as a financing activity on the Statement of Cash Flows.
Previously unrecognized tax benefits due to net operating loss carryforwards were recognized during the first quarter of 2017 using a modified retrospective approach, resulting in a cumulative-effect adjustment to increase retained earnings by $2.1 as of January 1, 2017. In addition, a corresponding deferred tax asset of $25.6 was partially offset by a valuation allowance of $23.5 during the first quarter of 2017 as the newly recognized net operating losses were not considered more likely than not realizable.
The impact of forfeitures will now be recognized as they occur as opposed to previously estimating future employee forfeitures. We adopted this provision utilizing a modified retrospective approach, resulting in a cumulative-effect adjustment reducing retained earnings by $1.6 as of January 1, 2017.
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 adoption of these provisions were reflected prospectively in the financial statements and did not have a material impact.
Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07 which amends the Statement of Operations presentation for the components of net periodic benefit cost for entities that sponsor defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans. Under the ASU, entities are now required to disaggregate the service cost component and present it with other current compensation costs for the related employees. All other components of net periodic benefit cost will no longer be classified as an operating expense. In addition, only the service cost component will be eligible for capitalization on the balance sheet. The ASU requires a retrospective transition method to adopt the requirement to present service costs separately from the other components of net periodic benefit cost in the statements of operations and a prospective transition method to adopt the requirement that prohibits capitalization of all components of net periodic benefit cost on the balance sheet except service costs. The ASU is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of 2018, at which time we expect to adopt the new standard. 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.Leases (ASU 2016-02)
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 impactingnew guidance which updated the accounting for leases intendingin 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 revisednew standard will requirerequires entities to recognize a liability for their lease obligations and a corresponding right-of-use asset, representing the right to use the underlying asset over the lease term. Lease obligations are to beinitially measured at the present value of the lease payments and accounted for using the effective interest method. Thepayments. Subsequent accounting for the leased asset will differ slightly dependingdepends on whether the agreement is deemed to be a financing or operating lease. For financeoperating leases, the leased asset is depreciated on a straight-line basis and recorded separately from the interestlessee recognizes its total lease expense in the statements of operations, resulting in higheras an operating expense in the earlier part ofover the lease term. For operatingfinancing leases, a lessee recognizes amortization of the depreciationright-of-use asset as an operating


and interest expense components are combined, recognized evenly over the lease term ofseparately from interest on the lease and presented as a reduction to operating income.liability. The ASU requires that assets and liabilities be presented orand 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

 $276.8
Accrued liabilities416.7
 18.7
 435.4
Other non-current liabilities166.5
 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 inon January 1, 2020 and will be adopted using a modified retrospective transition approach for the first quarter 2019, at which time we expectprovisions related to adoptapplication of the new standard. We arecurrent 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 assessing our existing lease agreements and related financial disclosures to evaluateevaluating the impacteffect of these amendmentsadoption 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. We are still finalizing our assessment of the impact of the new standard, but we do not currently expect it to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. Based on the evaluation of our current contracts and revenue streams, most will be recorded consistently under both the current and new standard. However, the timing of revenue recognition of certain design and build contracts, currently recognized using the percentage of completion method, will be dependent on contract terms and therefore may vary. Additionally, certain advance payments that are currently presented as a reduction of inventory will be presented as a contract liability under the new guidance. The new guidance will be effective for the Company beginning in its first quarter of 2018. At this time, we expect to adopt the new standard using a modified retrospective approach with the cumulative effect recognized as of the date of initial application.

We have initiated various restructuring activities throughout our businesses during the past two years, of which only those noted below are considered to be individually significant. Other less significant restructuring actions taken during 2017 and 2016 included various reduction in workforce initiatives.

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 in an effort to align with the declining oil and gas market conditions experienced over the past two years. During the first nine months of 2017, we continued to pursue these objectives and we recognized $4.9 of restructuring costs primarily related to the exit of certain office space and severance for 61 employees. Cash payments related to the remaining accrual are expected to be substantially complete in 2018. 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.

The higher effective tax rate in 2016 was2019, is primarily driven by an increase indue to 2018 tax benefits of $21.6 from the reversal of valuation allowances on German deferred tax liability on foreign earnings which are not considered indefinitely reinvested. Referassets and a $4.5 reduction to Note 2, Recent Accounting Pronouncements, for further information on ASU 2016-09. In addition, the Company continues to benefit from a larger mix of earnings in non-U.S. jurisdictionsprovisional one-time tax charge associated with favorable tax rates.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 $17$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'sCompany’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
DEBTLEASES
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.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
From time to time, we are involved in legal proceedings that are incidental to the operation of our businesses. Some of these proceedings allege damages relating to asbestos and environmental exposures, intellectual property matters, copyright infringement, personal injury claims, employment and employee benefit matters, government contract issues and commercial or contractual disputes and acquisitions or divestitures. We will continue to defend vigorously against all claims. Although the ultimate outcome of any legal matter cannot be predicted with certainty, based on present information including our assessment of the merits of the particular claim, as well as our current reserves and insurance coverage, we do not expect that such legal proceedings will have a material adverse impact on our financial statements, unless otherwise noted below.
Asbestos Matters
Subsidiaries of ITT, including ITT LLC and Goulds Pumps LLC, have been sued, along with many other companies in product liability lawsuits alleging personal injury due to asbestos exposure. These claims generally allege that certain products sold by our subsidiaries prior to 1985 contained a part manufactured by a third party (e.g., a gasket) which contained asbestos. To the extent these third-party parts may have contained asbestos, it was encapsulated in the gasket (or other) material and was non-friable. As of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2019, there were approximately 2724 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:
For the Nine Months Ended September 30 (in thousands)2017
Pending claims – Beginning3024

New claims31

Settlements(1—)
Dismissals(51)
Pending claims – Ending2724


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'sCompany’s asbestos exposures, althoughwhile 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'smanagement’s best estimate of future events. However, future events affecting the key factors and other variables for either the asbestos liability or the related receivables could cause actual costs or recoveries to be materially higher or lower than currently estimated. Due to these uncertainties, as well as our inability to reasonably estimate any additional asbestos liability for claims which may be filed beyond the next 10 years, it is difficult to predict the ultimate cost of resolving all pending and unasserted asbestos claims. We believe it is possible that future events affecting the key factors and other variables within

the next 10 years, as well as the cost of asbestos claims filed beyond the next 10 years, net of expected recoveries, could have a material adverse effect on our financial statements.
Income Statement Costs/BenefitAsbestos-Related Costs, Net
InAs part of our ongoing review of our net asbestos exposure, each quarter we assess the third quarter of each year, we conduct ourmost recent qualitative and quantitative data available for the key inputs and assumptions, comparing the data to expectations on which the most recent 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.
estimates were calculated. Based on this evaluation, the results of this study,Company determined that no change in the thirdestimate was warranted for the quarter of 2017, we decreased our estimated undiscounted asbestos liability, including legal fees, by $66.4, reflecting a decrease in costsended March 31, 2019 other than the company estimates will be incurred to resolve all pending claims, as well as unasserted claims estimated to be filed over the next 10 years. The decrease in our estimated liability is a result of several developments, primarily favorable experience in settlement values and a decrease in the number of cases expected to be adjudicated. Further, in the third quarter of 2017, the Company increased its estimated asbestos-related assets by $10.0, primarily due to favorable developments in insurance litigation.
In addition to the charges associated with our annual remeasurement, we record a net asbestos charge each quarterincremental accrual 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, 2017 and 2016.

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.

During the first quarter of 2017, ITT entered into a settlement agreement with a former subsidiary to settle all claims covered by the environmental Qualified Settlement Fund (QSF) established in the first quarter of 2016. The former subsidiary no longer has rights to the funds in the QSF. The settlement resulted in a reduction to both our environmental-related assetEnvironmental-related assets represent estimated recoveries from insurance providers and the corresponding deferred income liability balance of $5.2. During the second quarter of 2017, the QSF was amended resulting in income of $3.8. The total environmental-related assetother third parties. Environmental-related assets as of September 30, 2017March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2016 was $24.3 and $33.4, respectively.2018 were $23.4 in both periods.
We are currently involved with 3530 active environmental investigation and remediation sites. At September 30, 2017,March 31, 2019, we have estimated the potential high-end liability range of environmental-related matters to be $119.6.$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 addition, in the thirdfirst quarter of 2017,2019, the Company learned that the Criminal Division of DOJ is also investigating this matter. The Company is cooperating with the government and has produced documents responsive to the subpoena to the Civil Division. Based on its current analysis following discussionsreached an agreement-in-principle with DOJ to resolve the civil matter, the Company has accrued $5 as its current best estimate of the minimum amount of probable loss. It is reasonably possible that any actual loss related tosettle this matter may be higher than this amount, but at this time managementfor $11 to avoid the expense and uncertainty of litigation. The agreement-in-principle is unable to estimate a rangefully accrued in the Company’s financial results for the first quarter of potential loss in excess2019.

Axtone Railway Components
On January 26, 2017, we acquired 100% of the privately held stock of Axtone Railway Components (Axtone)Rheinhütte Pumpen Group (Rheinhütte) for a purchase price of $123.1,€81 euros, net of cash acquired. The transaction was funded from ITT’s cash and European commercial paper program. The purchase price allocation is subject to change during the measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition date). Axtone, which had 2016based on customary net working capital adjustments. Rheinhütte, with 2018 revenue of approximately $72,€61.5 euros and approximately 430 employees operates in three main manufacturing locations. Rheinhütte is a designer and manufacturer of highly engineered pumps suited for harsh and customized energy absorption solutions, including springs, buffers, and coupler componentscorrosive environments for the railway and industrial markets.
The purchase price for Axtone was allocated to net tangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their preliminary fair values as of January 26, 2017, with the excess of the purchase price of $79.5 recorded as goodwill. The primary areas of purchase price allocation that are not yet finalized relate to the valuation of certain tangible and intangible assets, liabilities, income tax, and residual goodwill. We expect to obtain the information necessary to finalize the fair value of the net assets and liabilities during the measurement period. Changes to the preliminary estimates of the fair value during the measurement periodmarket. Rheinhütte will be recorded as adjustments to those assets and liabilities with a corresponding adjustment to goodwill inreported within the period they occur. The goodwill arising from this acquisition, which is not expected to be deductible for income tax purposes, has been assigned to the Motion TechnologiesIndustrial Process segment.

Executive Summary
In the thirdfirst quarter of 2017, we continued to optimize execution across the enterprise while driving growth and share gains in stabilizing key end-markets. We strengthened project performance within the Industrial Process segment, drove productivity improvements at our Connect and Control Technologies facilities, and continued to leverage the benefits of proactive restructuring in both businesses. In addition, productivity gains at our Motion Technologies segment helped offset much of the commodity cost headwinds we've experienced throughout the year.
We continued to grow in our key end-markets, including automotive, rail, and general industrial. In automotive we won positions on a significant number of new platforms in China and with electric and hybrid vehicles for both braking and charging components. In addition, we had key multi-year wins during the third quarter2019, ITT delivered strong operational results, which included a large award for KONI shock absorbers which will be used in the defense market, as well as an award on a new multi-year rotorcraft platform.
During the third quarter we expanded innovation and testing capabilities for braking components in China to support market trends for electric vehicles and our new North American brake pad facility delivered their first pads. In addition, we continued to successfully integrate the operations of our first quarter 2017 acquisition of Axtone Railway Group (Axtone).
Our third quarter 2017 results include:
Revenue of $645.0, reflecting a year-over-year increase of $63.3, or 10.9%, driven by growth in the transportation end-markets due to the automotive and rail market, partially offset by lower revenues from the aerospace market. Industrial end-market revenues provided a modest gain during the quarter and revenues from the oil and gas end-market were flat to the prior year. Our acquisition of Axtone provided incremental revenue of $19.6. Organic revenue, which excludes the impacts from foreign exchange, acquisitions, and divestitures, increased 4.8% compared to the prior year.
Orders of $658.6, reflecting year-over-year growth of $85.2 or 14.9% driven by continued share gains in the global automotive brake pad markets and growth in industrial connectors and components partially offset by lower pump project activity. We also received incremental orders from our newly acquired Axtone business of $21.5. Organic orders, which excludes the impacts from foreign exchange, acquisitions, and divestitures, increased 8.4% compared to the prior year.
Operating income of $127.8, decreased $7.0, or 5.2%, reflecting a 340 basis point decline to operating margin, due to higher corporate costs, primarily related to incentive compensation and prior year insurance favorability, as well as a lower asbestos remeasurement benefit. These items more than offset the growth insignificant segment operating income of $9.6 or 14.3% dueand margin growth. These results were driven by our continued focus on operational excellence and strategies to higher sales volumes, improvementswin share in productivitykey 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 project performance, restructuring benefits, and favorable foreign currency impacts, partially offset by rising commodity costs and expenses related to the build-out of our new North American friction facility. Adjusted segment operating income which excludes the impacts of restructuring and realignment costs, certain asset impairment charges, acquisition-related expenses, and unusual or infrequent operating items increased $17.2, or 23.6%.strong cash generation.
Income from continuing operations of $0.98 per diluted share was flat compared to the prior year. Adjusted income from continuing operations was $0.66 per diluted share, reflecting a $0.08, or 13.8%, increase compared to the prior year.

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.

Orders for connectors associated with the oil and gas market grew approximately 21% and 36% during the three and nine month periods, respectively.
On July 11, 2017, the U.S. Defense Logistics Agency, Land and Maritime (DLA) issued a notice that it hashad 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 earlier this year.in the first quarter of 2017. Annual sales of these military-specification connectors arewere estimated to range from $8 to $10.$10 prior to the removal of these products from the QPL. The Company will seekis making progress and expects to restore its status of certain products on the QPL as expeditiously as possible but is unable to estimate how long this process will take.beginning in the first half of 2019. At this time, there is uncertainty whether there will be any further negative impacts to our revenue and results of operations related to the QPL removal.

GROSS PROFIT
Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016March 31, 2019 was $203.1 and $183.9,$218.8, reflecting a gross margin of 31.5% and 31.6%, respectively.. Gross profit for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016March 31, 2018 was $609.8 and $584.8,$224.2 reflecting a gross margin of 32.1% and 32.2%, respectively. Unfavorable automotive and aerospace pricing and sales mix impacts, increased direct material costs32.5%. The decline in gross profit was primarily due to higher commodity prices impacting our Motion Technologies segment,costs and tariffs, unfavorable foreign currency translation, and unfavorable impacts from certain military-specification connectors were almost fullyproduct mix. This was partially offset by improved project performance atsales 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 Industrial Process segment, lower labor costs as a resultglobal 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 restructuring benefits from our structural cost reset at our Industrial Process segmentoperations, financial position and operational improvements at our Connect & Control Technologies segment.cash flows.

INCOME TAX EXPENSE
For the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company recognized income tax expense of $40.6 and $46.1 and had an effective tax rate of 31.8% and 34.3%, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company recognized income tax expense of $60.3 and $75.3 and had an effective tax rate of 25.0% and 32.2%, respectively. The lower year-to-date effective tax rate in 2017 is primarily due to a tax rate change on Korea deferred tax assets and an excess share-based compensation deduction due to the adoption of ASU 2016-09.

The higher effective tax rate in 2016 was2019, is primarily driven by an increase indue to 2018 tax benefits of $21.6 from the reversal of valuation allowances on German deferred tax liability on foreign earnings which are not considered indefinitely reinvested. Referassets and a $4.5 reduction to Note 2, Recent Accounting Pronouncements, for further information on ASU 2016-09. In addition, the Company continues to benefit from a larger mixprovisional one-time tax charge associated with the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of earnings in non-U.S. jurisdictions with favorable tax rates.2017 (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 $17$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'sCompany’s 2011 spin-off of those businesses.
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 market. If our access to the commercial paper market were adversely affected, we believe that alternative sources of liquidity, includingmarkets or our Revolving Credit Agreement, described below, would be sufficient to meet our short-term funding requirements.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. A majority of our cash and cash equivalents is held by our international subsidiaries. We have transferred, and plan to continue to transfer cash between certain international subsidiaries and the U.S. and between our other international subsidiaries when it is cost effective to do so. Our intent is generally to indefinitely reinvest these funds outsideThe passage of the U.S. consistent withTax Act provides greater flexibility around our overall intentionglobal cash management strategy related to the amount and timing of transfers, and we will continue to support growth and expandexpansion in markets outside of the U.S. through the development of products, increased non-U.S. capital spending, and potentially the acquisition ofpotential foreign businesses. However, we have determined that certain undistributed foreign earnings generated in Luxembourg, Netherlands, Japan, Hong Kong, and South Korea should not be considered permanently reinvested outside of the U.S. Cash distributions from foreign countries amounted to $111.8 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. Cash distributions from foreign countries amounted to $100.0 foracquisitions. During the year ended December 31, 2016.2018 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 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 thirdfirst quarter of 2017,2019, we declared a dividend of $0.128$0.147 per share for shareholders

of record on SeptemberMarch 11, 2017,2019, which was paid on October 2, 2017.March 29, 2019. The dividend declared in the thirdfirst quarter of 20172019 is a 3.2%9.7% increase from the thirdfirst quarter of 2016.2018.
During the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2019 and 2016,2018, we repurchased 0.8 and 1.9retired 0.2 and 1.0 shares of common stock for $30.0$10.5 and $66.6,$50.0, respectively, under our $1 billion share repurchase program. To date, under the program, the Company has repurchased 21.222.4 shares for $859.4.$919.9.
Significant factors that affect our overall management of liquidity include our credit ratings, the adequacyavailability of commercial paper, and supportingaccess 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 the cash flows generated internally and to provide additional short-term funding for strategic investments and other funding requirements. We manage our short-term liquidity through the use of our commercial paper program by adjusting the level of commercial paper borrowings as opportunities to deploy additional capital arise and it is cost effective to do so. As of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2019, we had an outstanding commercial paper balance of $130.9.$112.3 through our European program. The average outstanding commercial paper balance during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2019 was $131.6.$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, 2016.2018.
Revolving Credit FacilitiesAgreement
Our $500 revolving $500 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. At September 30, 2017, we had $59.1 outstanding under the Revolving Credit Agreement and ourOur interest coverage ratio and leverage ratio were within the prescribed thresholds.thresholds as of March 31, 2019, and there were no outstanding borrowings under our Revolving Credit Agreement. In the event of certaina ratings downgradesdowngrade 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 ninethree months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2019 and 2016.2018.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $178.4 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $146.7 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. Operating Activities
The change in net cash provided by operating activities primarily reflects an increase inimprovement of segment operating income of approximately $14,$10, after adjustments for non-cash charges, such as depreciation and amortization as well as higher incentive compensationamortization. In addition, during the first quarter of 2019, we received $9 related to an intellectual property settlement, and had lower environmental and asbestos payments in the prior year.of $7.4 and $2.9, respectively. These items were partially 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 asbestos-related payments of $15.0 due to the timing of insurance recoveries and higher postretirement contributions due to a voluntary contributioncapital expenditures.
Financing Activities
The change in the third quarter of $5. Unfavorable changes in working capital were almost fully offsetnet cash from financing activities was driven by a decrease in restructuring paymentsnet borrowings of $75.7 and a $13 increase in the current year.
Net cash used by investing activities was $189.3 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to $22.5 of cash used by investing activities during the same prior year period. The year-over-year increase reflects the purchase of Axtone for $113.7 (net of cash acquired), as well as higher capital expenditures which increased $11.1 primarilydividends paid due to capacity expansion projects in supporttiming. This was partially offset by a decline of global automotive friction growth. In addition, the 2016 result included $53.0 of cash provided by the maturity of investments (net of purchases).
Net cash used by financing activities was $75.3 reflecting a decrease of $3.1 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 primarily due to a decrease of $38.0$35.4 in repurchases of ITT common stock as partand an increase of our Share Repurchase Plan partially offset by a $31.4 decrease in net borrowings and lower proceeds of $2.1$4.5 from employee stock option exercises.

Discontinued Operations
The decrease in net cash used byin discontinued operations was $1.2 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to net cash provided by discontinued operation for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 of $5.3. The change of $6.5 is primarily driven by a cash payment in the prior year from Xylem Inc. related to the Tax Matters Agreement.lower payments for environmental remediation activities.

Asbestos
Based on the estimated undiscounted asbestos liability as of September 30, 2017March 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 43%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 18%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 September 30, 2017.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 2031.2032.
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 $15$20 to $25$30 over the next five years and increase to an average of approximately $30$35 to $40$45 per year over the remainder of the projection period. Total netperiod as certain insurance coverage exhausts. Net cash outflows for defense and indemnity, net of tax, averaged $13, including$21 over the past three annual periods. Total net asbestos cash outflows also include certain administrative costs, such as legal relatedlegal-related costs for insurance asset recoveries, overrecovery strategies not included in the past three annual periods.defense and indemnity projections.
In light of the variables and uncertainties inherent in the long-term projection of the Company'sCompany’s asbestos exposures and potential recoveries, althoughwhile 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 2027.2029.
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:
n"organic revenue" and "organic orders"
“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 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.

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'sITT’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'sManagement’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the 20162018 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'smanagement’s estimates. There have been no significant changes concerning ITT'sITT’s critical accounting estimates as described in our 20162018 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 20162018 Annual Report.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 17, 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'sCompany’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'sCompany’s asbestos exposures and potential recoveries. As of September 30, 2017,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 $875.5,$844.9, including expected legal fees, and an associated asset of $374.3$369.6 which represents estimated recoveries from insurers, resulting in a net asbestos exposure of $501.2.$475.3.
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.
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 addition, in the thirdfirst quarter of 2017,2019, the Company learned that the Criminal Division of DOJ is also investigating this matter. The Company is cooperating with the government and has produced documents responsive to the subpoena to the Civil Division. Based on its current analysis following discussionsreached an agreement-in-principle with DOJ to resolve the civil matter, the Company has accrued$5 as its current best estimate of the minimum amount of probable loss. It is reasonably possible that any actual loss related tosettle this matter may be higher than this amount, but at this time managementfor $11 to avoid the expense and uncertainty of litigation. The agreement-in-principle is unable to estimate a rangefully accrued in the Company’s financial results for the first quarter of potential loss in excess of the amount accrued.2019.

ITEM 1A.RISK FACTORS
Reference is made to the risk factors set forth in Part I, Item 1A, "Risk“Risk Factors,"” of our 20162018 Annual Report, which are incorporated by reference herein. There have been no material changes with regard to the risk factors disclosed in such report.

(2)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 September 30, 2017,March 31, 2019, we had repurchased 21.222.4 shares for $859.4,$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 Euros 2.2 million€2.2 euros and Euros 1.5 million,€1.5 euros, respectively. Prior to its acquisition by ITT, Bornemann issued a performance bond to its Iranian customer in the amount of Euros 1.3 million€1.3 euros (the Bond). Bornemann requested that the Bond be canceled prior to March 8, 2013; however, the former customer refused this request and as a result the Bond remains outstanding. Bornemann did not receive gross revenues or operating income, or pay interest, with respect to the Bond in any subsequent periods through September 30, 2017,March 31, 2019, however, Bornemann did pay fees in 2016 of approximately Euros 11€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.
