- Earnings per share from continuing operations up 19 percent,
excluding special items, on strong international sales and improved
margins WHITE PLAINS, N.Y., Oct. 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- ITT
Corporation (NYSE:ITT) today reported third quarter 2007 earnings
from continuing operations of $169 million or 92 cents per share,
on revenue of $2.2 billion, driven by balanced top-line growth
across most business segments and customer end-markets. Special
item offsets in the quarter resulted in adjusted earnings equal to
the reported 92 cents per share earnings. ITT's adjusted earnings,
which increased 19 percent over the comparable quarter a year
earlier, also benefited from strong international sales and margin
improvements generated by productivity initiatives, including the
continued adoption of lean manufacturing processes. In addition,
ITT recognized a $64 million gain from the sale of its Switches
business, which was announced in July. The gain and other
discontinued operations contributed 33 cents per share to ITT's
total reported earnings of $1.25 per share. As a result of its
continued strong performance, ITT is raising its full-year 2007
earnings per share guidance, excluding special items, to
$3.50-$3.53 on projected revenue of $8.75 billion. "This was an
exciting quarter for our business, marked by a number of major
strategic portfolio moves and transforming customer wins," said
Steve Loranger, chairman, president and chief executive officer,
ITT Corp. "Through it all, our teams have remained focused on our
operating plan and on continuous improvement initiatives, resulting
in high-quality results for our shareholders again this quarter."
On September 17, ITT announced an agreement to acquire EDO Corp.
(NYSE:EDO) for $56 per share pending satisfaction of customary
closing conditions, including EDO shareholder approval. EDO
operates in markets complementary to ITT's defense business and is
a leading producer of advanced technologies serving military and
commercial customers. The acquisition, if approved, would be ITT's
largest since becoming an independent company in 1995. Also during
the quarter, ITT completed the acquisition and began the
integration of International Motion Control (IMC), a global leader
in the design and manufacture of standard and customized energy
absorption, control systems, and hydraulic and pneumatic
components. Loranger noted, "These strategic portfolio moves are
enabled by the strong overall performance of our business and are
expected to position ITT for continued growth in the future. These
significant actions, in addition to the smaller acquisitions we've
announced, demonstrate our disciplined approach to creating value
for our shareholders by expanding from our strong core businesses
and entering attractive adjacent markets." Primary Business
Highlights Defense Electronics & Services -- The Defense
segment reported third quarter revenues of $1.01 billion,
representing six percent growth over the same quarter in 2006.
Growth in the segment was led by ITT's services businesses,
including Advanced Engineering & Sciences, which recorded
revenue growth of 37 percent, and Systems, up 16 percent. On the
product side, ITT's Night Vision business also grew 16 percent,
while its Aerospace/Communications Division and Electronic Systems
businesses were essentially flat. -- Operating income for the
segment grew to $137 million and improved 21 percent compared to
prior year, excluding special items, on strong margin performance.
This operating margin expansion was driven by productivity gains in
ITT's fixed price contracts for products including SINCGARS
battlefield radios. -- During the quarter, the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) awarded ITT the first contract for its air
traffic modernization program, known as Automatic Dependent
Surveillance-Broadcast, or ADS-B. ITT brought together each of its
core defense capabilities to win the contract, which positions the
company as the prime systems integrator for the next generation air
traffic control program. Fluid Technology -- Third quarter revenue
for the Fluid Technology segment was $858 million, a 10 percent
increase over the comparable quarter last year, including the
impact of foreign currency exchange. -- Top-line growth was led by
organic revenue growth of six percent resulting from strong
international and project sales in the group's Industrial Process
business. -- Operating income for the segment of $111 million, or
$117 million excluding restructuring costs, grew 13 percent on a
comparable basis. Motion & Flow Control -- The Motion &
Flow Control segment reported third quarter revenues of $315
million, up 18 percent over the same period last year, including
the impacts of foreign currency exchange and the integration of
IMC. -- The segment recorded a nine percent increase in organic
revenue in the quarter, driven in part by 26 percent organic growth
at Aerospace Controls. In addition, sales to commercial original
equipment manufacturers (OEMs) contributed to a strong quarter for
Friction Materials, which was up 14 percent organically. --
Operating income for the quarter grew to $44 million. Operating
income was $45 million excluding restructuring, up 24 percent on a
comparable basis, benefiting from volume and cost-saving
initiatives. Investor Call Today ITT's senior management will host
a conference call for investors today at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Daylight
Time to review third quarter performance and answer questions. The

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations - Forward-Looking Statements in the ITT
Corporation Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2006, and other of its filings with the Securities and
Exchange Commission. The Company undertakes no obligation to update
any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new
information, future events or otherwise. ITT believes that
investors' understanding of the Company's operating performance is
enhanced by the use of certain non-GAAP financial measures,
including adjusted GAAP net income and adjusted GAAP EPS, which
Management considers useful in providing insight into operating
performance, as it excludes the impact of special items that cannot
be expected to recur on a quarterly basis. Management also believes
that investors can better analyze the Company's revenue and order
growth by utilizing organic revenue and organic order growth
measures that exclude the effect of foreign exchange translation
and the effect of recent acquisitions. In addition, Management
considers the use of free cash flow to be an important indication
of the Company's ability to make acquisitions, fund pension
obligations, buy back outstanding shares and service debt. Free
cash flow, adjusted net income, adjusted EPS, organic revenue and
organic orders are not financial measures under GAAP, should not be
considered as substitutes for cash from operating activities, EPS,
net income or revenue as defined by GAAP, and may not be comparable
to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. A
reconciliation to the GAAP equivalents of these non-GAAP measures
is set forth in the attached unaudited financial information. ITT
