• Orders increased 58%, 20% organic, driven by the SPX FLOW acquisition, and strength in aerospace and defense, flow projects and biopharma, respectively

• Revenue grew 44% to $1.4 billion, 8% organic, led by SPX FLOW and strong performance in connectors and pump projects

• Operating margin of 15.7% and adjusted operating margin of 21.0%

• Full-year EPS expected to be $4.65 to $4.73; adjusted EPS guidance raised to $8.54 to $8.62

STAMFORD, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 4, 2026-- ITT Inc. (NYSE: ITT) today reported financial results for the third quarter ended October 3, 2026. Revenue increased 44% to $1.4 billion versus prior year with SPX FLOW contributing 35 points of growth. Organic revenue increased 8%, led by strength across Connect & Control Technologies (CCT) aerospace and defense connectors, as well as continued momentum in pump projects and valves within Flow Technologies (FT).

Third quarter operating income increased 26% to $227 million, driven by operational performance from the legacy business and contributions from SPX FLOW, partially offset by acquisition-related costs. Adjusted operating income increased 55% year-over-year, reflecting the benefits of SPX FLOW as well as incremental volume, pricing and productivity actions across the portfolio, which more than offset higher material and labor costs. Operating margin decreased 230 basis points to 15.7% compared to the prior year, reflecting acquisition-related intangible amortization and costs. Adjusted operating margin increased 140 basis points to 21.0%, led by robust growth and operational performance throughout the businesses.

EPS decreased 15% to $1.38 due to acquisition-related costs. Adjusted EPS increased 20% to $2.26, reflecting strong segment operating income driven by commercial momentum and strong execution, along with contributions from SPX FLOW, which more than offset higher interest expense, weighted-average share count and effective tax rate associated with the acquisition.

Net cash from operating activities for the third quarter increased $139 million, or 80% year-over-year, to $313 million. Free cash flow for the quarter increased 87%, primarily reflecting strong quarterly operating performance and the acquisition of SPX FLOW, partially offset by higher interest.

Management Commentary

“ITTers around the world delivered yet another strong quarter as they executed relentlessly across the business. Our teams continue to win in the market, whilst our acquisitions are enhancing the strength of our portfolio and compounding ITT's long-term value creation. At SPX FLOW, we are executing with discipline and speed, delivering high-single-digit growth and capturing cost synergies ahead of schedule. We are unlocking revenue synergies as we leverage our expanded capabilities, global reach and customer relationships. And with a healthy backlog and orders momentum, we are well-positioned to continue driving growth and margin expansion next year whilst building an even stronger ITT,” said ITT’s Chief Executive Officer and President Luca Savi.

Table 2. Third Quarter Segment Results

Flow Technologies revenue increased $380 million compared to the prior year, including the contribution of SPX FLOW. Organic revenue increased 6%, led by continued strength in energy and biopharma. Operating income increased $23 million, or 28% as a result of solid execution across the portfolio and the inclusion of SPX FLOW results. Adjusted operating income increased $84 million, or 96%, reflecting the contribution of SPX FLOW, higher volume and the benefits of pricing actions. Operating margin of 13.7% decreased 770 bps, primarily due to SPX FLOW acquisition-related impacts, while adjusted operating margin decreased 40 bps and improved 100 bps sequentially.

Motion Technologies revenue increased $8 million versus the prior year, driven by growth in Friction and strength in KONI defense. Operating income increased $5 million, primarily due to higher net productivity and volume, leading to operating margin increasing 100 bps to 20.6%, while adjusted operating margin improved by 70 bps to 21.0%.

Connect & Control Technologies revenue increased $55 million year-over-year, reflecting pricing actions, wins in defense, industrial connectors and aerospace components. Operating income increased $18 million, primarily due to benefits from pricing, volume and net productivity, partially offset by higher strategic investments. Operating margin improved 270 bps to 20.5%, while adjusted operating margin increased 100 bps to 22.0%.

Leadership Appointment

ITT today announced an update to its leadership structure, reinforcing the company’s focus on driving value through differentiation in execution and innovation. Davide Barbon, currently Senior Vice President and President, Motion Technologies, will assume leadership of the Connect & Control Technologies segment, effective immediately.

“Davide is a proven leader and disciplined operator with a strong track record of delivering results,” said Savi. “Since taking over Motion Technologies, he has built a culture of continuous improvement that has enabled the business to continuously and consistently outperform its markets through share gains, operational excellence and productivity. Bringing our highest growth potential business with the highest margin potential under Davide’s purview creates an opportunity to accelerate performance within CCT.”

Under the new leadership structure, Motion Technologies and Connect & Control Technologies will remain distinct reportable segments, and ITT will continue to report their financial results separately.

Quarterly Dividend

The company announced today a quarterly dividend of $0.386 per share on its outstanding common stock. ITT’s Board of Directors approved the cash dividend for the fourth quarter of 2026, which will be payable on Thursday, December 31, 2026 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on Friday, December 4, 2026.

2026 Guidance

Based on strong commercial and operational performance year-to-date, the company now expects organic revenue growth of 7% to 9% and total revenue growth of 41% to 43%. Operating margin is now expected to finish the year between 13.3% and 14.1%, with adjusted operating margin of 20.2% to 21.0%, an increase of 80 to 160 bps versus prior year. EPS is expected to be $4.65 to $4.73, with adjusted EPS of $8.54 to $8.62, representing growth of 19% to 20% for the full year. The company expects free cash flow to be between $600 million and $620 million, translating to a free cash flow margin of ~11% for the full year.

It is not possible, without unreasonable efforts, to estimate the impacts of foreign currency fluctuations, acquisitions and certain other special items that may occur in 2026 as these items are inherently uncertain and difficult to predict. As a result, we are unable to quantify certain amounts that would be included in a reconciliation of organic revenue growth, adjusted operating margin and the adjusted effective tax rate to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures without unreasonable efforts and accordingly we have not provided reconciliations for these forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures.

Investor Conference Call Details

ITT’s management will host a conference call for investors on Thursday, November 5, 2026 at 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time. The briefing can be accessed live via a webcast which is available on the company’s website: https://investors.itt.com. A replay of the webcast will be available beginning two hours after the presentation concludes. Reconciliations of non-GAAP financial performance metrics to their most comparable U.S. GAAP financial performance metrics are defined and presented below and should not be considered a substitute for, nor superior to, the financial data prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, future strategic plans and other statements that describe the company’s business strategy, outlook, objectives, plans, intentions or goals, and any discussion of future events and future operating or financial performance.

We use words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “future,” “guidance,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “potential,” “project,” “should,” “target,” “will,” “would,” and other similar expressions to identify such forward-looking statements.

• the possibility that any of the anticipated benefits and projected synergies of the acquisition of SPX FLOW will not be realized or will not be realized on the anticipated terms within the expected time period;
• uncertain global economic and capital markets conditions, which have been influenced by heightened geopolitical tensions, including conflicts in the Middle East involving Iran, inflation, changes in monetary policies, the threat of a possible regional or global economic recession, trade disputes between the U.S. and its trading partners, political and social unrest, and the availability and fluctuations in prices of energy and commodities, including steel, oil, copper and tin;
• the imposition of new or increased tariffs by the U.S. government, particularly those targeting imports from specific countries, and the potential for retaliatory trade measures by affected countries, which could disrupt global supply chains, increase costs and reduce customer demand;
• fluctuations in interest rates and the impact of such fluctuations on customer behavior and on our cost of debt;
• fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and the impact of such fluctuations on our revenues, customer demand for our products and on our hedging arrangements;
• volatility in raw material prices and our suppliers’ ability to meet quality and delivery requirements;
• impacts and risk of liabilities from recent mergers, acquisitions, or venture investments, and past divestitures and spin-offs;
• our inability to hire or retain key personnel;
• failure to compete successfully and innovate in our markets;
• failure to manage the distribution of products and services effectively;
• failure to protect our intellectual property rights or violations of the intellectual property rights of others;
• the extent to which there are quality problems with respect to manufacturing processes or finished goods;
• the risk of cybersecurity breaches or failure of any information systems used by the Company, including any flaws in the implementation of any enterprise resource planning systems;
• loss of or decrease in sales from our most significant customers;
• risks due to our operations and sales outside the U.S. and in emerging markets, including the imposition of tariffs and trade sanctions;
• fluctuations in demand or customers’ levels of capital investment, maintenance expenditures, production, and market cyclicality;
• the risk of material business interruptions, particularly at our manufacturing facilities;
• risks related to government contracting, including changes in levels of government spending and regulatory and contractual requirements applicable to sales to the U.S. government;
• fluctuations in our effective tax rate, including as a result of changing tax laws and other possible tax reform legislation in the U.S. and other jurisdictions;
• changes in environmental laws or regulations, discovery of previously unknown or more extensive contamination, or the failure of a potentially responsible party to perform;
• failure to comply with the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (or other applicable anti-corruption legislation), export controls and trade sanctions; and
• risk of product liability claims and litigation.

More information on factors that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from those anticipated is included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 (particularly under the caption "Risk Factors"), our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and in other documents we file from time to time with the SEC.

Key Performance Indicators and Non-GAAP Measures

ITT reviews a variety of key performance indicators including revenue, operating income and margin, earnings per share, order growth, and backlog. In addition, we consider certain measures to be useful to management and investors when evaluating our operating performance for the periods presented. These measures provide a tool for evaluating our ongoing operations and management of assets from period to period. This information can assist investors in assessing our financial performance and measures our ability to generate capital for deployment among competing strategic alternatives and initiatives, including, but not limited to, acquisitions, dividends, and share repurchases. Some of these metrics, however, are not measures of financial performance under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) and should not be considered a substitute for measures determined in accordance with GAAP. We consider the following non-GAAP measures, which may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies, to be key performance indicators for purposes of our reconciliation tables.

Organic Revenue and Organic Orders are defined, respectively, as revenue and orders, excluding the impacts of foreign currency fluctuations, acquisitions, and divestitures that may or may not qualify as discontinued operations. Current year activity from acquisitions is excluded for twelve months following the closing date of acquisition. The period-over-period change resulting from foreign currency fluctuations is estimated using a fixed exchange rate for both the current and prior periods. Prior year revenue and orders are adjusted to exclude activity during the comparable period for twelve months post-closing date for divestitures that do not qualify as discontinued operations. We believe that reporting organic revenue and organic orders provide useful information to investors by helping identify underlying trends in our business and facilitating comparisons of our revenue performance with prior and future periods and to our peers.

Adjusted Operating Income is defined as operating income adjusted to exclude special items that include, but are not limited to, restructuring, intangible amortization, certain asset impairment charges, certain acquisition and divestiture-related impacts, and unusual or infrequent operating items. Special items represent charges or credits that impact current results, which management views as unrelated to the Company's ongoing operations and performance. Adjusted Operating Margin is defined as adjusted operating income divided by revenue.
