Financial information for our segments is presented in Note 3, "Segment Information."
On May 16, 2016, we consummated a corporate reorganization into a holding company structure. As a result of the reorganization ITT Inc., an Indiana corporation that was previously a wholly owned subsidiary of ITT Corporation, became the publicly traded holding company of ITT Corporation and its subsidiaries and the successor issuer to ITT Corporation under Rule 12g-3(a) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act)Segment Information. As the successor issuer, ITT Inc. common stock was deemed to be registered under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act and ITT Inc. succeeded to ITT Corporation’s obligation to file reports, proxy statements and other information required by the Exchange Act with the SEC. For additional information regarding the holding company reorganization, please refer to our Current Report on Form 8-K that we filed with the SEC on May 16, 2016.
On October 31, 2011, ITT completed the tax-free spin-off of its Defense and Information Solutions business, Exelis Inc. (Exelis), and its water-related business, Xylem Inc. (Xylem) by way of a distribution of all of the issued and outstanding shares of Exelis common stock and Xylem common stock, on a pro rata basis, to ITT shareholders of record on October 17, 2011. This transaction is referred to in this Report as the "2011 spin-off." On May 29, 2015, Harris Corporation acquired Exelis.
Basis of Presentation
The unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such SEC rules. We believe that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. We consistently applied the accounting policies described in ITT's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20152016 (20152016 Annual Report) in preparing these unaudited financial statements. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in our 20152016 Annual Report.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates are revised as additional information becomes available. Estimates and assumptions are used for, but not limited to, asbestos-related liabilities and recoveries from insurers, revenue recognition, unrecognized tax benefits, deferred tax valuation allowances, projected benefit obligations for postretirement plans, accounting for business combinations, goodwill and other intangible asset impairment testing, environmental liabilities, allowance for doubtful accounts and inventory valuation. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
ITT's quarterly financial periods end on the Saturday that is generally closest to the last day of the calendar quarter, except for the last quarterly period of the fiscal year, which ends on December 31st. For ease of presentation, the quarterly financial statements included herein are described as ending on the last day of the calendar quarter.
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 Not YetRecently 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, standard, including the classification of excess tax benefits and deficiencies and the accounting for employee forfeitures. TheITT elected to adopt this guidance is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarteras of 2017. The updates to the accounting standard includeJanuary 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, insteadBalance Sheet. Instead they are towill be recognized inon the income statementStatements of Operations as a tax expense or benefit. InOn the statementStatement of cash flows,Cash Flows, excess tax benefits and deficiencies will no longer be classified as a financing activity, insteadactivity. Instead they will be classified as an operating activity. These
Entities will have
provisions were adopted using a prospective method of transition. During the optionthree and six months ended June 30, 2017, we recorded an income tax benefit of $0.1 and $1.2, respectively, on the Statement of Operations and classified this benefit on the Statement of Cash Flows as an operating activity. The prior year's excess tax benefit of $3.4 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 continue to reduce share-based compensation expensenet operating loss carryforwards were recognized during the vesting periodfirst quarter of outstanding awards for estimated future employee forfeitures or they may elect2017 using a modified retrospective approach, resulting in a cumulative-effect adjustment to recognizeincrease 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 actually occur.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 this provision will be 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 updates areASU requires a retrospective transition method to be applied usingadopt the requirement to present service costs separately from the other components of net periodic benefit cost in the statements of operations and a modified retrospective approach as a cumulative adjustmentprospective transition method to retained earnings. Early adoptionadopt the requirement that prohibits capitalization of all components of net periodic benefit cost on the balance sheet except service costs. The ASU is permitted.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,statements; however we do not expect these changes to have a material impact.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 impacting the accounting for leases intending to increase transparency and comparability of organizations by requiring balance sheet presentation of leased assets and increased financial statement disclosure of leasing arrangements. The revised standard will require entities to recognize a liability for itstheir lease obligations and a corresponding asset representing the right to use the underlying asset over the lease term. Lease obligations are to be measured at the present value of lease payments and accounted for using the effective interest method. The accounting for the leased asset will differ slightly depending on whether the agreement is deemed to be a financing or operating lease. For finance leases, the leased asset is depreciated on a straight-line basis and recorded separately from the interest expense in the income statementstatements of operations, resulting in higher expense in the earlier part of the lease term. For operating leases, the depreciation and interest expense components are combined, recognized evenly over the term of the lease, and presented as a reduction to operating income. The ASU requires that assets and liabilities be presented or disclosed separately and classified appropriately as current and noncurrent. The ASU further requires additional disclosure of certain qualitative and quantitative information related to lease agreements. The new standardASU is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter 2019, and early adoption is permitted.at which time we expect to adopt the new standard. We are currently evaluatingassessing our existing lease agreements and related financial disclosures to evaluate the impact of these amendments on our financial statements.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09 amending the existing accounting standards for revenue recognition. The amendments are based on the principle that revenue should be recognized to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance provides a five-step analysis of transactions to determine when and how revenue is recognized. The guidance also requires enhanced disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from an entity’s contracts with customers. 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. The amendments may be applied retrospectivelyAt this time, we expect to each prior period presented oradopt the new standard using a modified retrospective approach with the cumulative effect recognized as of the date of initial application. We are currently evaluating the impact of these amendments and the transition alternatives on our financial statements.

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 20162017 and 20152016 included various reduction in force initiatives and the consolidation of two sites within our Control Technologies segment to an existing lower cost location.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.segment in an effort to align with the declining oil and gas market conditions experienced over the past two years. During the ninefirst six months ended September 30, 2016,of 2017, we continued to pursue these objectives and we recognized $19.9$1.7 of restructuring costs primarily related to severance for approximately 370 employees. During 2015, we recognized restructuring coststhe exit of $12.2 for these actions, with $10.6 recognized during the first nine months of 2015. Total restructuring costs under these actions through September 30, 2016 are $32.1 mainlycertain office space. Cash payments related to severance for approximately 570 employees. These actionsthe remaining accrual are expected to be substantially complete during the next three months.in 2018. However, we will continue to monitor and evaluate the need for any additional restructuring actions.

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

INCOME TAXES
For the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and 2015,2016, the Company recognized income tax expense of $46.1$10.6 and $11.4 with$17.5 and had an effective tax rate of 34.3%18.1% and 10.6%35.0%, respectively. For the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and 2015,2016, the Company recognized income tax expense of $75.3$19.7 and $53.0 with$29.2 and had an effective tax rate of 32.2%17.4% and 16.1%29.4%, respectively. The higher effective tax rate in 2016 is primarily driven by an increase in the deferred tax liability on foreign earnings which are not considered indefinitely reinvested, whereas the lower effective tax rate in 2015 was2017 is primarily driven by the settlement ofdue to a U.S. income tax audit and the release of thechange in valuation allowance, excess share-based compensation deduction due to the adoption of ASU 2016-09, and a tax rate change on certain netKorea deferred tax assets in China dueassets. Refer to positive income in recent years. TheNote 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. jurisdictions with favorable tax rates.
During the third quarter of 2016, the Company effectively settled the U.S. income tax audit for tax years 2012-2013. The Company recorded a tax benefit of $3.6 in continuing operations, which primarily relates to the realization of previously unrecognized tax positions.
The Company operates in various tax jurisdictions and is subject to examination by tax authorities in these jurisdictions. The Company is currently under examination in several jurisdictions including Canada, Germany, Hong Kong, Italy, Mexico, South Korea, the U.S. and Venezuela. The estimated tax liability calculation for unrecognized tax benefits considers uncertainties in the application of complex tax laws and regulations in various tax jurisdictions. Due to the complexity of some uncertainties, the ultimate resolution may result in a payment that is materially different from the current estimate of the unrecognized tax benefit. Over the next 12 months, the net amount of the tax liability for unrecognized tax benefits in foreign and domestic jurisdictions could change by approximately $18$17 due to changes in audit status, expiration of statutes of limitations and other events. In addition, the settlement of any future examinations relating to the 2011 and prior tax years could result in changes in amounts attributable to the Company under its existing Tax Matters Agreement with Exelis Inc. and Xylem.Xylem Inc. relating to the Company's 2011 spin-off of those businesses.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
From time to time, we are involved in legal proceedings that are incidental to the operation of our businesses. Some of these proceedings allege damages relating to environmental exposures, intellectual property matters, copyright infringement, personal injury claims, employment and employee benefit matters, government contract issues and commercial or contractual disputes and acquisitions or divestitures. We will continue to defend vigorously against all claims. Although the ultimate outcome of any legal matter cannot be predicted with certainty, based on present information including our assessment of the merits of the particular claim, as well as our current reserves and insurance coverage, we do not expect that such legal proceedings will have a material adverse impact on our financial statements, unless otherwise noted below.
Asbestos Matters
Subsidiaries of ITT, including ITT LLC (f/k/a ITT Corporation) and Goulds Pumps LLC, (f/k/a Goulds Pumps, Inc.), have been sued, along with many other legacy companies in product liability lawsuits alleging personal injury due to asbestos exposure. These claims generally allege that certain products sold by our subsidiaries prior to 1985 contained a part manufactured by a third party (e.g., a gasket) which contained asbestos. To the extent these third-party parts may have contained asbestos, it was encapsulated in the gasket (or other) material and was non-friable. As of SeptemberJune 30, 20162017, there were approximately 3027 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 NineSix Months Ended SeptemberJune 30 (in thousands)20162017
Pending claims – Beginning3730
New claims32
Settlements(1)
Dismissals(94)
Pending claims – Ending3027
Frequently, plaintiffs are unable to identify any ITT LLC or Goulds Pumps LLC products as a source of asbestos exposure. Our experience to date is that a majority of resolved claims are dismissed without any payment from ITT subsidiaries. Management believes that a large majority of the pending claims have little or no value. In addition, because claims are sometimes dismissed in large groups, the average cost per resolved claim can fluctuate significantly from period to period. ITT expects more asbestos-related suits will be filed in the future, and ITT will continue to aggressively defend or seek a reasonable resolution, as appropriate.
Asbestos litigation is a unique form of litigation. Frequently, the plaintiff sues a large number of defendants and does not state a specific claim amount. After filing complaint, the plaintiff engages defendants in settlement negotiations to establish a settlement value based on certain criteria, including the number of defendants in the case. Rarely do the plaintiffs seek to collect all damages from one defendant. Rather, they seek to spread the liability, and thus the payments, among many defendants. As a result of this and other factors, the Company is unable to estimate the maximum potential exposure to pending claims and claims estimated to be filed over the next 10 years.
Estimating our exposure to pending asbestos claims and those that may be filed in the future is subject to significant uncertainty and risk as there are multiple variables that can affect the timing, severity, quality, quantity and resolution of claims. Any predictions with respect to the variables impacting the estimate of the asbestos liability and related asset are subject to even greater uncertainty as the projection period lengthens. In light of the uncertaintiesvariables and variablesuncertainties inherent in the long-term projection of the Company's asbestos exposures, although it is probable that the Company will incur additional costs for asbestos claims filed beyond the next 10 years, which additional costs may be material, we do not believe there is a reasonable basis for estimating those costs at this time.
The asbestos liability and related receivables reflect management's best estimate of future events. However, future events affecting the key factors and other variables for either the asbestos liability or the related receivables could cause actual costs or recoveries to be materially higher or lower than currently estimated. Due to these uncertainties, as well as our inability to reasonably estimate any additional asbestos liability for claims which may be filed beyond the next 10 years, it is difficult to predict the ultimate cost of resolving all pending and unasserted asbestos claims. We believe it is possible that future events affecting the key factors and other variables within

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 ended June 30, 2017 other than the incremental accrual to maintain a rolling 10-year forecast period. A net asbestos charge of 2016, we decreased our estimated undiscounted asbestos liability, including legal fees, by $75.9, reflecting a decrease in costs the company estimates will be incurred to resolve all pending claims, as well as unasserted claims estimated to be filed over the next 10 years. The decrease in our estimated liability is a result of several developments, including favorable experience in dismissal rates$14.9 and settlement values. These favorable factors were offset, in part, by an increase in number of cases expected to be adjudicated. Further,$29.8 was recognized in the thirdthree and six months ended June 30, 2017 and $15.2 and $30.6 in the three and six months June 2016, respectively, to maintain the 10-year forecast period.
During the second quarter of 2016, the Company increased itscompany was able to transition all remaining claims to our single defense firm in connection with the change in defense strategy initiated in 2015. As a result, we reduced our estimated asbestos-related assetsliability by $5.9, primarily due to an increase in expected recoveries due to a favorable court decision.$4.9 during the second quarter of 2016.
During each of the first and second quartersquarter of 2016, we entered into a settlement agreement with an insurer to settle responsibility for multiple insurance claims, resulting in a benefit of $2.6. During the second quarter of 2016, ITT entered into a settlement agreement (Settlement) with an insurer to settle responsibility for multiple insurance claims. Under the terms of the settlements,Settlement, the insurersinsurer agreed to a payment or specified series of payments over the course of the next five years to a QSF,Qualified Settlement Fund, resulting in a benefit of $2.6 and a loss of $4.7, respectively.
During the second quarter of 2015, the Company changed its asbestos defense strategy and retained a single firm to defend the Company in all asbestos litigation. This long-term strategy streamlined the Company’s management of cases and significantly reduced defense costs. Our agreement with the defense firm was initially limited to a certain set of claims and the remaining claims were expected to transition within the next four years; however, ITT was able to transition the remaining claims during the second quarter of 2016 as a result of the settlement described above. Based on the terms of the agreement, the Company adjusted its asbestos liability and related assets and recognized a net benefit of $4.9 and $100.7 during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, for the revised estimate of the cost to defend pending claims and claims expected to be filed over the next 10 years. 
In addition to the charges associated with our annual remeasurement, we record a net asbestos charge each quarter to maintain a rolling 10-year forecast period. The table below summarizes the total net asbestos charges for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015.

Environmental 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.

We are currently involved with 4035 active environmental investigation and remediation sites. At SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, we have estimated the potential high-end liability range of environmental-related matters to be $127.7.$122.8.
As actual costs incurred at identified sites in future periods may vary from our current estimates given the inherent uncertainties in evaluating environmental exposures, management believes it is possible that the outcome of these uncertainties may have a material adverse effect on our financial statements.

Other Matters
The Company is responding toreceived a civil subpoena from the Department of Defense, Office of the Inspector General, which was issued in the second quarter of 2015 as part of an investigation being led by the Civil Division of the U.S. Department of Justice.Justice (DOJ). The subpoena and related investigation involve certain connector products manufactured by the Company’s Interconnect SolutionsConnect & Control Technologies segment that are purchased or used by the U.S. government. The Company is cooperating with the government and has produced documents responsive to DOJ’s request under the subpoena. Based on its current analysis following discussions with DOJ to resolve this 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 may be higher than this amount, but at this time management is unable to estimate a range of potential loss in excess of the timing or outcome of this matter.amount accrued.

Executive Summary
During the thirdsecond quarter of 2016,2017, we had a strong emphasis on reducing costs and strategically managing throughdrove activities across the current challenging environment and its impact on our key flow end markets, with our continued focus onenterprise to optimize execution while advancing essential long-term growth and value creation in areas such as market expansion, capital deployment, risk mitigation, and operational improvements. We continuedstrategies. During the quarter we successfully leveraged the benefits of our on-going structural reset ofat our Industrial Process segment to optimize and aligndrove solid operational improvements at our Connect and Control Technologies facilities. We also made productivity gains in our Motion Technologies business despite rising commodity costs. These benefits helped offset weak industrial pump activity and their respective cost structure to support these challenging market conditions, particularly withinreduced global oil and gas project activity. In addition, we continued to penetrate new and mining. Our third quarter results reflect benefits from our on-going Lean transformationexisting key incremental automotive brake pad platforms in China and cost actions, as well as from our balanced and diverse portfolio as the impact of difficult markets were mitigated by our continued market share growth and geographic expansionNorth America, captured new shock absorber business in the transportation end-markets. China high-speed rail market, and advanced our global electric vehicle market capture strategies in both braking components and connectors.
In relation to capital deployment, we executed nearly $50recently produced our first prototype automotive brake pads in our new North American facility, the integration of our first quarter 2017 acquisition of Axtone Railway Group (Axtone) is on track and we continue to invest to support recent share gains in key growth markets such as rotorcraft. In addition, we continued our track record of strategically deploying our capital by executing $30 of share repurchases during the thirdto create value for shareowners.
Our second quarter and announced a plan to de-risk certain long-term obligations by executing a voluntary pension settlement program in the fourth quarter. We have also reached an agreement to acquire Axtone Railway Group (Axtone), a manufacturer of highly engineered and customized energy absorption solutions for railway and other harsh environment industrial markets. See Note 19, Subsequent Events, in the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for additional information regarding the pending acquisition of Axtone.2017 results include:
Revenue of $581.7 for the third quarter$630.9, reflecting year-over-year growth of 2016 decreased $20.2$4.7 or 3.4% compared to the prior year, reflecting0.8% driven by higher sales volume declines and pricing challenges at our Industrial Process segment due to the challenging conditions experienced within the oil and gas and mining markets, coupled with on-going revenue softness in the short-cycle North American chemical and industrial pump markets. However, our 2016 third quarter revenue results also reflect 21% growthvolumes in the transportation markets, driven byend-markets from share gains in our automotive brake pad business and incremental benefits fromrevenue of $22.0 related to our 2015 Wolverine acquisition at our Motion Technologies segment.of Axtone. Our revenue results for the quarter also reflect lower industrial and global oil and gas pump project activity. Organic revenue, which excludes the impacts from foreign exchange, acquisitions, and divestitures, declined 9.5%decreased 1.9% compared to the prior year.
Orders of $626.3, reflecting year-over-year growth of $20.4 or 3.4% driven by continued share gains in the automotive brake pad market, particularly in Europe and China, stronger order activity for short-cycle pumps and strength in connectors across end-markets. We also received during the third quarter of 2016 were $573.4 reflecting an increase of $43.0, or 8.1%, including incremental benefits of $40.6orders from our 2015 acquisitionnewly acquired Axtone business of Wolverine. Organic orders increased 0.5%, as strong growth in transportation markets, primarily from past automotive platform wins that have entered the production cycle, and significant petrochemical pump project orders. The organic order$20.2. Order growth was partially offset by lower order activity from industrial anda decline in upstream oil and gas markets reflecting weak market conditions resultingpump projects. Organic orders, which excludes the impacts from capital project uncertainty, extended deferrals inforeign exchange, acquisitions, and divestitures, increased 1.1% compared to the aftermarket and replacement cycle, and difficult prior year comparisons.year.
Operating income of $134.8 for the third quarter$57.7, reflecting year-over-year growth of 2016 reflects$8.2 or 16.6% and a $30.9 increase from the prior year primarily due120 basis point improvement to our annual asbestos remeasurement which resulted in a benefit of $81.8 compared to a $44.8 benefit recognized in the third quarter of 2015. Our operating results for the quarter also reflect productivity improvements across all of our business segments, savingsmargin, was driven by incremental benefits from past restructuring actions incremental contributions from our 2015 Wolverine acquisition, and lower corporate costs. However, lower Industrial Process segment sales volume and adverse pricing headwinds,productivity savings as well as lower profitability on complex pump projects andyear-over-year restructuring costs. Operating income growth was partially offset by unfavorable impacts associated with certain military-specification connector products, a legal accrual, unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations, and costs related to the build-out of our new North American auto facility. Adjusted segment operating income which excludes the impacts partially offset the growth inof restructuring and realignment costs, certain asset impairment charges, acquisition-related expenses, and other unusual or infrequent operating income.items decreased $3.9, or 4.2%.
Income from continuing operations attributable to ITT duringwas $0.54 per diluted share, reflecting an increase of $0.18 over the third quarter of 2016 was $88.3, representing a decrease of $8.2 or 8.5%. The decrease was driven by lower segment operating income, higher income tax expense, and unfavorable foreign currency impacts, which were partially offset by a higher benefit from our annual asbestos remeasurement that was recognized in the third quarter of 2016.prior year. Adjusted income from continuing operations a non-GAAP measure, was $52.0, or $0.58$0.65 per diluted share, forreflecting a $0.02, or 3.0%, decrease compared to the third quarter of 2016, representing a decrease of $4.9 or 8.6%.prior year.
As we nearmove through 2017, we plan to maintain our operational and strategic momentum as we continue to leverage the end of 2016, we believe that the persistent volatility in the global macroeconomic environment, particularly in the oil and gas end-market, may continue and that these conditions may have an impact to our businesses and financial results. Demand for our products that serve the oil and gas market, primarily pumps and connectors that represented approximately 20% of 2015 revenue, depend substantially on the level of expenditures by the oil and gas industry for development and production. These expenditures are generally dependent on the industry’s view of future demand for oil and natural gas. Oil and gas prices have been volatile and have remained at low levels for a sustained period of time, resulting in lower expenditures by the oil and gas industry. As a result, manybenefits of our customers have reduced or delayed spending, thus reducingglobal and end-market diversification. We will continue to focus on optimizing execution, and monitor and reduce our cost structure by taking approximately $20 in restructuring and realignment actions during the demand forremainder of 2017. We also expect to realize significant benefits from our productsprior restructuring and exerting downward pressure on the prices for our products.

The decline in revenue was primarily driven by project declines of 24% and $24.0, respectively. Organic revenue for32% during the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20162017, respectively, due to lower oil and gas projects in North America, Asia and Latin America as well as a weaker general industrial market. In addition, revenue from valves, primarily in the chemical market, declined $70.6, or 26.1%16% and 9%, respectively, while baseline pump revenue declined 7% and $171.7, or 21.1%2%, respectively. The decreaserespectively, stemming from further weakness in both periods reflects challenging conditions within the oil and gas mining, and chemical and industrial markets that have drivenmarket. Aftermarket revenue declined approximately 3% in both periods primarily due to lower demand for original equipment and replacementservice activity. The decline in aftermarket revenue was partially offset in the second quarter by a 5% increase in parts as well as the postponement of customer maintenance activities. These market conditions contributed to revenue declines for the projects, baseline pumps and aftermarket portions of our business, of approximately 51%, 17% and 13%, during the three month period ended September 30, 2016, respectively, and declines of 42%, 15% and 12% for the nine month period ended September 30, 2016, respectively.revenue.

Asbestos-related costs, net, were flat during the three months ended June 30, 2017. Asbestos-related costs, net, increased $2.0, or 7.2% during the six months ended June 30, 2017 due to favorable prior year adjustments, including a reduction in estimated defense costs which was offset by a net reduction in expected recoveries due to insurance settlements in the prior year.

Industrial Process operating income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 increased $8.5, or 134.9% and $6.8, or 44.4%, respectively. The increase in operating income compared to prior year is primarily driven by lower restructuring costs of $2.2$13.4 and $6.0, and unfavorable foreign currency impacts of $3.7 and $7.9, respectively. Conversely, both periods were favorably impacted by lower employee compensation-related costs of $4.4 and $10.0 and lower legal and acquisition-related costs. G&A costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 were also impacted by$15.3, respectively, as well as a trade name impairment of $4.1 recorded in the second quarter of 2016 in our Industrial Process segment as the result2016. Unfavorable impacts from volume and mix of challenging conditions experienced within the upstream oilapproximately $12 and gas market. In addition, a favorable warranty resolution of $5.0 from the prior year further contributed to the year-over year increase in G&A expenses during the nine months ended September 30, 2016.
Sales and marketing expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 decreased $3.7, or 8.6% and $10.5, or 7.5%, respectively, primarily reflecting focused cost reductions at Industrial Process due to lower headcount$22, as well as a decrease in commission expense and other variable costs during both periods, partially offset by incremental sales and marketing costs of $1.2 and $3.7, respectively, related to our fourth quarter 2015 acquisition of Wolverine.

Research and development (R&D) expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 increased $0.6, or 3.3%, and $3.7, or 6.7%, respectively, primarily reflecting incremental costs of $0.3 and $3.3 related to our acquisition of Wolverine in 2015. In addition, increased product development activities at Motion Technologies were offset by lower R&D spending at Control Technologies during both periods due to the progress made on the development of a major aerospace program.
In the third quarter of 2016, we recognized a net asbestos-related benefit of $68.1 compared to a $30.3 benefit in the prior year, primarily due to a higher benefit from our annual asbestos remeasurement from favorable experience in dismissal rates and settlement values. The lower asbestos-related benefit during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was driven by a $100.7 benefit recognized during the second quarter of 2015, reflecting a new single firm strategy and streamlined case management to assist in reducing asbestos related defense costs. This was partially offset by the higher benefit we recorded in the third quarter of 2016 in relation to the annual asbestos remeasurement. See Note 17, Commitments and Contingencies, to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for further information.

Industrial Process operating income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 decreased $29.7, or 87.4%, and $76.3, or 79.6%, respectively. The decline primarily resulted from lower sales volumes and unfavorable pricing that impacted operating income by approximately $37 and $92 for the quarter and year-to-date periods, respectively. In addition, results were adversely impacted by lower profitability of $5 related tocost overruns associated with certain complex pump projects as well aswere almost fully offset by net savings of approximately $8 and $19 due to past restructuring activities, productivity, and sourcing initiatives. In addition, operating income was impacted by higher restructuringincentive-based compensation costs of $2.3$2.9 and $9.3 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively,$5.1 and unfavorable foreign currency impactsfluctuations of approximately $5$0.8 and $12, respectively. The nine months ended September 30, 2016, was also impacted by a trade name impairment of $4.1 recorded during the second quarter of 2016 as the result of challenging conditions experienced within the upstream oil and gas market. In addition, a favorable warranty resolution in 2015 of $5.0 contributed to the unfavorable comparison during the nine months ended September 30, 2016. Incremental savings from restructuring actions and productivity, sourcing and cost control initiatives helped offset these unfavorable impacts by approximately $20 and $56, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016,$2.1, respectively.
Motion Technologies operating income for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 increased $12.2,$3.2, or 37.0%,6.5% and $33.8,$7.4, or 30.5%, respectively.7.4%. The increase in operating income was primarily driven by higher sales volume and favorable sales mix, which provided a benefit of approximately $9$10 and $39 during the three$19, respectively, and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively, but wasincremental savings from productivity initiatives. These items were partially offset by unfavorable pricing. Net savings from productivity, sourcingpricing, higher material and cost control initiatives provided a benefit of approximately $6labor costs, and $17, respectively.incremental investments to support recent long-term global automotive platform wins. In addition, during the threeunfavorable foreign currency fluctuations impacted operating income by $4.7 and nine months ended September 30, 2016, the 2015$6.5 and our acquisition of WolverineAxtone provided an incremental benefit of $3.7 and $13.4increase to operating income but unfavorably impacted operating margin by approximately 180of $2.4 and 140 basis points,$3.6, respectively.

Interconnect Solutions operating income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 increased $2.2 and $5.0, respectively, as the negative impact of lower volume and unfavorable pricing of approximately $3 and $8 for both periods was offset by lower restructuring costs of $1 and $6 and incremental savings of $2 and $8, respectively, from previous restructuring actions. Shipment delays and other incremental costs related to the operational disruptions from the relocation of certain North American operations experienced during 2015 and the first half of 2016 had an unfavorable impact for the nine month period comparison, but began to see operational improvements in the third quarter of 2016. In addition, the quarter and year-to-date periods of 2016 benefited from favorable foreign currency impacts of approximately $1 and $2, respectively, and net savings from productivity initiatives of approximately $1 and $2, respectively, but were partially offset by higher postretirement-related costs of $1 and $3, respectively.
Connect & Control Technologies operating income for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 decreased $2.4,$3.1, or 17.1%18.5%, and $6.5,increased $0.8, or 16.0%2.7%, respectively, primarilyrespectively. Both periods include unfavorable impacts related to incremental costs associated with the relocationcertain military-specification connectors and consolidation of certain operations to an existing lower-cost facility of $1.3 and $3.4, respectively. In addition, a favorable prior year adjustment of employee-based incentive costs and timing of prior year investment spending further contributed to the year-over-year decrease in both periods. These items$5 legal accrual. Offsetting these unfavorable impacts were partially offset by net savings from restructuring, productivity and sourcing initiatives, primarily at our North American Connector facility, savings of approximately $1$2 and $5 duringfrom past restructuring activities and favorable sales volumes of approximately $3 and $7. During the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, unfavorable sales mix and pricing impacted operating income by $1 and $4, respectively.
Other corporate costs for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016 declined by $10.8,2017 increased $0.5, or 98.2%,6.7% and $12.4,$0.2, or 43.7%, respectively. The decrease in other corporate costs is primarily due to lower employee incentive-based costs during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 of $6.2 and $9.0, respectively, as well as lower1.3% reflecting higher environmental costs of $1.5 and $0.9, respectively, disposal costs associated with a pending sale of excess property and $1.4, and various cost containment actions. The quarter-to-date period benefited from a $2 insurance recoverybenefit recorded in the second quarter of previously incurred legal costs.
INTEREST AND NON-OPERATING INCOME AND EXPENSES, NET
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 the Company recognized interest and non-operating expenses, net of $0.3 and $1.5, respectively, compared to interest and non-operating income, net of $4.0 and $2.5 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015. The unfavorable year-over-year change is principally related to interestinsurance. These items were offset by income of $3.4 recognized during the third quarter of 2015 on prepaid taxes and a $1.6 receivable with Exelis and Xylem, both of which relate$3.8 related to an amendment to the settlement of the 2009-2011 U.S. income tax audit.environmental QSF.

INCOME TAX EXPENSE
For the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and 2015,2016, the Company recognized income tax expense of $46.1$10.6 and $11.4$17.5 and had an effective tax rate of 34.3%18.1% and 10.6%35%, respectively. For the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and 2015,2016, the Company recognized income tax expense of $75.3$19.7 and $53$29.2 and had an effective tax rate of 32.2%17.4% and 16.1%29.4%, respectively. The higher effective tax rate in 2016 is primarily driven by an increase in the deferred tax liability on foreign earnings which are not considered indefinitely reinvested, whereas the lower effective tax rate in 2015 was2017 is primarily driven by the settlement ofdue to a U.S. income tax audit and the release of thechange in valuation allowance, excess share-based compensation deduction due to the adoption of ASU 2016-09, and a tax rate change on certain netKorea deferred tax assets in China dueassets. Refer to positive income in recent years. TheNote 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. jurisdictions with favorable tax rates.
During the third quarter of 2016, the Company effectively settled the U.S. income tax audit for tax years 2012-2013. The Company recorded a tax benefit of $3.6 in continuing operations, which primarily relates to the realization of previously unrecognized tax positions.
The Company operates in various tax jurisdictions and is subject to examination by tax authorities in these jurisdictions. The Company is currently under examination in several jurisdictions including Canada, Germany, Hong Kong, Italy, Mexico, South Korea, the U.S. and Venezuela. The estimated tax liability calculation for unrecognized tax benefits considers uncertainties in the application of complex tax laws and regulations in various tax jurisdictions. Due to the complexity of some uncertainties, the ultimate resolution may result in a payment that is materially different from the current estimate of the unrecognized tax benefit. Over the next 12 months, the net amount of the tax liability for unrecognized tax benefits in foreign and domestic jurisdictions could change by approximately $18$17 due to changes in audit status, expiration of statutes of limitations and other events. In addition, the settlement of any future examinations relating to the 2011 and prior tax years could result in changes in amounts attributable to the Company under its existing Tax Matters Agreement with Exelis Inc. and Xylem.

INCOME FROM DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS, NET OF TAX
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company recognized income from discontinued operations of $1.8 and $2.0, respectively, due to a favorable resolution of certain legacy liabilities in the third quarter of 2016. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company recognized income from discontinued operations of $34.2 and $39.3, respectively, principally relatedXylem Inc. relating to the settlementCompany's 2011 spin-off of the 2009-2011 U.S. income tax audit during the third quarter of 2015. This included a tax benefit of $38.3 from the recognition of previously unrecognized tax positions, related net interest income of $3.2, and a $13.2 receivable due from Exelis and Xylem, partially offset by net tax expense of $17.4 from unfavorable audit adjustments.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 commercial paper market. If our access to the commercial paper market were adversely affected, we believe that alternative sources of liquidity, including our Revolving Credit Agreement, described below, would be sufficient to meet our short-term funding requirements.
We manage our worldwide cash requirements considering available funds among the many subsidiaries through which we conduct business and the cost effectiveness with which those funds can be accessed. We have identified and continue to look for opportunities to access cash balances in excess of local operating requirements to meet our global liquidity needs in a cost-efficient manner. A majority of our cash and cash equivalents is held by our international subsidiaries. We have transferred, and plan to continue to, transfer cash between certain international subsidiaries and the U.S. and between other international subsidiaries when it is cost effective to do so. Our intent is generally to indefinitely reinvest these funds outside of the U.S. consistent with our overall intention to support growth and expand in markets outside the U.S. through the development of products, increased non-U.S. capital spending and potentially the acquisition of foreign businesses. However, we have determined that certain undistributed foreign earnings generated in Luxembourg, 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 $67.0 and $235.0 as of September$111.8 for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and2017. Cash distributions from foreign countries amounted to $100.0 for the year ended December 31, 2015, respectively.2016. The timing and amount of additional future remittances,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 thirdsecond quarter of 2016,2017, we declared a dividend of $0.124$0.128 per share for shareholders of record on September 9, 2016,June 12, 2017, which was paid on OctoberJuly 3, 2016.2017. The dividend declared in the thirdsecond quarter of 20162017 is a 4.8%3.2% increase from the prior year.
During the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and 2015,2016, we repurchased 1.90.8 and 2.00.6 shares of common stock for $66.6$30.0 and $80.0,$20.0, respectively, under our $1 billion share repurchase program. To date, under the program, the Company has repurchased 20.321.2 shares for $825.9.$859.4.

Significant factors that affect our overall management of liquidity include our credit ratings, the adequacy of commercial paper and supporting bank lines of credit, and the ability to attract long-term capital on satisfactory terms. We assess these factors along with current market conditions on a continuous basis, and as a result, may alter the mix of our short- and long-term financing when it is advantageous to do so.
Commercial Paper
We access the commercial paper market 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 SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, we had an outstanding commercial paper balance of $151.0.$123.0. The average outstanding commercial paper balance during the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 was $117.9.$125.7. There have been no other material changes that have impacted our funding and liquidity capabilities since December 31, 2015.

2016.
Credit Facilities
Our five-year revolving $500 credit agreement (the Revolving Credit Agreement) provides for increases in principal of up to $200 for a possible maximum total of $700 in aggregate principal amount, at the request of the Company and with the consent of the institutions providing such increased commitments. The Revolving Credit Agreement is intended to provide access to additional liquidity and be a source of alternate funding to the commercial paper program, if needed. Our policy is to maintain unused committed bank lines of credit in an amount greater than outstanding commercial paper balances. The provisions of the Revolving Credit Agreement require that we maintain an interest coverage ratio, as defined, in such agreement, of at least 3.0 times and a leverage ratio, as defined, in such agreement, of not more than 3.0 times.3.0. At SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, we had $100.0$79.9 outstanding under the Revolving Credit Agreement. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, our interest coverage ratio and leverage ratio were within the prescribed thresholds. In the event of certain ratings downgrades of the Company, to a level below investment grade, the direct and indirect significant U.S. subsidiaries of the Company would be required to guarantee the obligations under the credit facility. The Revolving Credit Agreement matures in November 2019.2021.
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 ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and 2015.2016.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $146.7$92.7 for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 compared to $147.1$71.6 for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2015.2016. The change in net cash provided by operating activities primarily reflects a decreasehigher incentive compensation payments in segment operating income of approximately $26, after adjustments for non-cash charges, suchthe prior year as depreciation and amortization. In addition, we had higher net income tax payments of $12.5, additional asbestos payments of $9.3, higher postretirement contributions of $3.7, and higher restructuring payments of $3.2. However improvementswell as favorable changes in working capital, balances compared to the nine month period ended September 30, 2015, primarily accounts receivable due to focused accounts receivable past due collections were ableand inventory management. This was partially offset by an increase in asbestos payments of $19.2 due to offset the additional cash usages noted above.higher indemnity payments and timing of insurance recoveries as well as higher income tax payments of $6.7.
Net cash used by investing activities was $22.5$164.5 for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, compared to a $111.4 net use$3.2 of cash provided by investing activities during the same prior year period. The year-over-year decreaseincrease reflects the prior year purchase of HartzellAxtone for $53.5,$113.7 (net of cash acquired), as well as higher maturitiescapital expenditures which increased $7.2 primarily due to capacity expansion projects in support of short-termglobal automotive friction growth. In addition, the 2016 result included $48.1 of cash provided by the maturity of investments (net of purchases) of $57.8 during 2016. Capital expenditures increased slightly year-over-year with spending in both years focused on capacity expansion projects and system upgrades. In addition, during the second quarter of 2015 we sold a product line within our Control Technologies segment resulting in proceeds of $8.9..

Net cash used by financing activities was $78.4$47.9 reflecting a decrease of $11.8$19.9 for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 primarily due to lowera $17.6 decrease in net borrowings and a $10.9 reduction due to the timing of our first half 2017 quarterly dividend payments. This was partially offset by a $5.3 increase in repurchases of ITT common stock as part of $13.0. Net repayments on amounts outstanding under our revolving credit facilityShare Repurchase Plan and lower proceeds of $50.6 were partially offset by net borrowings of $46.0 under our commercial paper program.$2.3 from employee stock option exercises.
Net cash used by discontinued operations was $0.9 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to net cash provided by discontinued operations was $5.3operation for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2016 of $6.6. The increasechange of $6.0$7.5 is primarily driven by $9.2 received duringa cash payment in the second quarter of 2016prior year from Xylem Inc. related to the Tax Matters Agreement.

Asbestos
Based on the estimated undiscounted asbestos liability as of SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 for claims filed or estimated to be filed over the next 10 years, we have estimated that we will be able to recover approximately 41%39% 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 tenth10th year of our estimate, our insurance recoveries are currently projected to be approximately 15%. Additionally, future recovery rates may be impacted by other factors, such as future insurance settlements, insolvencies and judicial determinations relevant to our coverage program, which are difficult to predict and subject to a high degree of uncertainty.
While there are overall limits on the aggregate amount of insurance available to the Company with respect to asbestos claims, with respect to certain coverage, those overall limits were not reached by the estimated liability recorded by the Company at SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2017.
Further, there is uncertainty in estimating when cash payments related to the recorded asbestos liability will be fully expended and such cash payments will continue for a number of years beyond the next 10 years due to the significant proportion of future claims included in the estimated asbestos liability and the delay between the date a claim is filed and when it is resolved. Subject to these inherent uncertainties, it is expected that cash payments related to pending claims and claims to be filed in the next 10 years will extend through approximately 2030.
Although asbestos cash outflows can vary significantly from year to year, our current net cash outflows, net of tax benefits, are projected to average $15 to $25 over the next five years, as compared to an average of $12$13 over the past three annual periods,years, and increase to an average of approximately $30 to $40 per year over the remainder of the projection period.
In light of the uncertaintiesvariables and variablesuncertainties inherent in the long-term projection of the Company's asbestos exposures and potential recoveries, although it is probable that the Company will incur additional costs for asbestos claims filed beyond the next 10 years, we do not believe that there is a reasonable basis for estimating the number of future claims, the nature of future claims, or the cost to resolve future claims for years beyond the next 10 years at this time. Accordingly, no liability or related asset has been recorded for any costs that may be incurred for claims asserted subsequent to 2026.2027.
Due to these uncertainties, as well as our inability to reasonably estimate any additional asbestos liability for claims that may be filed beyond the next 10 years, it is difficult to predict the ultimate outcome of the cost of resolving the pending and estimated unasserted asbestos claims. We believe it is possible that the future events affecting the key factors and other variables within the next 10 years, as well as the cost of asbestos claims filed beyond the next 10 years, net of expected recoveries, could have a material adverse effect on our financial statements.

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

n"organic revenue" and "organic orders" are defined as revenue and orders, excluding the impacts of foreign currency fluctuations, acquisitions, and divestitures. Divestitures include sales of portions of our business that did not meet the criteria for presentation as a discontinued operation. The period-over-period change resulting from foreign currency fluctuations is estimated using a fixed exchange rate for both the current and prior periods. Management believes that reporting organic revenue and organic orders provides useful information to investors by helping identify underlying trends in our business and facilitating easier comparisons of our revenue performance with prior and future periods and to our peers. Reconciliations of organic revenue for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 are provided below.

n"adjusted segment operating income" is defined as operating income, adjusted to exclude special items that include, but are not limited to, restructuring andcosts, realignment costs, certain asset impairment charges, repositioning costs, certain acquisition-related expenses, and other 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.

n"adjusted free cash flow" is defined as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures, adjusted for cash payments for restructuring andcosts, realignment actions, repositioning costs, 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, the entire free cash flow may not be available for discretionary purposes.

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 20152016 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 20152016 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 20152016 Annual Report.
ITEM 4.CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, such officers have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the last fiscal quarter that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II.      OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1.LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
From time to time, we are involved in legal proceedings that are incidental to the operation of our businesses. Some of these proceedings allege damages relating to environmental exposures, intellectual property matters, copyright infringement, personal injury claims, employment and employee benefit matters, government contract issues and commercial or contractual disputes and acquisitions or divestitures. Descriptions of certain legal proceedings to which the Company is a party are contained in Note 17, "CommitmentsCommitments and Contingencies"Contingencies to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Report and are incorporated by reference herein. Such descriptions include the following recent developments:
Asbestos Proceedings
Subsidiaries of ITT, including ITT LLC and Goulds Pumps LLC, have beenare 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 CompanyCompany'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 uncertaintiesvariables and variablesuncertainties inherent in the long-term projection of the Company's asbestos exposures and potential recoveries. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, we have recorded an undiscounted asbestos-related liability for pending claims and unasserted claims estimated to be filed over the next 10 years of $951.8,$942.6, including expected legal fees, and an associated asset of $385.8$369.8 which represents estimated recoveries from insurers, resulting in a net asbestos exposure of $566.0.$572.8.
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 is responding toreceived a civil subpoena from the Department of Defense, Office of the Inspector General, which was issued in the second quarter of 2015 as part of an investigation being led by the Civil Division of the U.S. Department of Justice.Justice (DOJ). The subpoena and related investigation involve certain connector products manufactured by the Company’s Interconnect SolutionsConnect & Control Technologies segment that are purchased or used by the U.S. government. The Company is cooperating with the government and has produced documents responsive to DOJ’s request under the subpoena. Based on its current analysis following discussions with DOJ to resolve this 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 may be higher than this amount, but at this time management is unable to estimate a range of potential loss in excess of the timing or outcome of this matter.amount accrued.

ITEM 1A.RISK FACTORS
Reference is made to the risk factors set forth in Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors," of our 20152016 Annual Report, which are incorporated by reference herein. There hashave been no material changes with regard to the risk factors disclosed in such report.

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 SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, we had repurchased 20.321.2 shares for $825.9,$859.4, including commissions, under the Share Repurchase Program. The program is consistent with our capital allocation process, which has centered on those investments necessary to grow our businesses organically and through acquisitions, while also providing cash returns to shareholders. Our strategy for cash flow utilization is to invest in our business, execute strategic acquisitions, pay dividends and repurchase common stock.

ITEM 5.OTHER INFORMATION
Disclosure pursuant to Section 219 of the Iran Threat Reduction & Syria Human Rights Act (ITRA)
This disclosure is made pursuant to Section 219 of the Iran Threat Reduction and Syria Human Rights Act of 2012 which added subsection (r) to Section 13 of the Exchange Act (Section 13(r)). Section 13(r) requires an issuer to disclose in its annual or quarterly reports whether it or any of its affiliates have knowingly engaged in certain activities, transactions or dealings relating to Iran. Disclosure of such activities, transactions or dealings is required even when conducted outside the United States by non-U.S. persons in compliance with applicable law, and whether or not such activities are sanctionable under U.S. law.
In its 2012 Annual Report, ITT described its acquisition of all the shares of Joh. Heinr. Bornemann GmbH (Bornemann) in November 2012, as well as certain activities of Bornemann in Iran and the wind down of those activities in accordance with a General License issued on December 26, 2012 (the General License) by the Office of Foreign Assets Control. As permitted by the General License, on or before March 8, 2013, Bornemann completed the wind-down activities and ceased all activities in Iran. As required to be disclosed by Section 13(r), the gross revenues and operating income to Bornemann from its Iranian activities subsequent to its acquisition by ITT were Euros 2.2 million and Euros 1.5 million, respectively. Prior to its acquisition by ITT, Bornemann issued a performance bond to its Iranian customer in the amount of Euros 1.3 million (the Bond). Bornemann requested that the Bond be canceled prior to March 8, 2013; however, the former customer refused this request and as a result the Bond remains outstanding. Bornemann did not receive gross revenues or operating income, or pay interest, with respect to the Bond in any subsequent periods through SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, however, Bornemann did pay fees in 20152016 of approximately Euros 11 thousand and fees to date in 2016 of approximately Euros 8 thousand to the German financial institution which is maintaining the Bond.
