The Fluid Technology segment comprises the remaining balances of service revenues and costs of service revenues.
6) Income Taxes
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109,” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 prescribes a comprehensive model for how a company should measure, recognize, present and disclose in its financial statements uncertain tax positions that the Company has taken or expects to take on a tax return. FIN 48 applies to all tax positions accounted for in the financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” including positions taken in a previously filed tax return or expected to be taken in a future return.
Under FIN 48, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
(In millions, except share and per share, unless otherwise stated)
measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement.
Prior to the adoption of FIN 48, the Company applied Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies,” in assessing uncertainty of income tax positions and the need for accruals to offset any exposure resulting from positions taken in its income tax returns. FIN 48 substantially changes the applicable accounting model and is likely to cause greater volatility in income statements as more items are recognized discretely within income tax expense.
The Company adopted the provisions set forth by FIN 48 effective January 1, 2007. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of the date of adoption was $88.8. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate was $79.0. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, the Company recognized an increase in liabilities of $26.1 for unrecognized tax benefits. The liabilities are classified as non-current and are included in “Other liabilities” in the Company’s Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet. The increase was accounted for as follows:
| | | | |
| | January 1,
| |
| | 2007 | |
|
Reduction in retained earnings (cumulative effect) | | $ | 17.4 | |
Increase in deferred tax assets | | | 6.7 | |
Increase in goodwill | | | 2.0 | |
| | | | |
Increase in liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits | | $ | 26.1 | |
| | | | |
The Company classifies interest relating to tax matters as a component of interest expense and tax penalties as a component of income tax expense in its income statement. The total amount of accrued interest and penalties as of the date of adoption of FIN 48 was $34.9.
As of January 1, 2007, it is reasonably possible that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits could significantly change by the end of 2007 as a result of resolution of tax authority audits of the Company’s tax returns. The Company is unable to provide an estimate of possible change to the unrecognized tax benefits related to these tax positions.
In many cases our uncertain tax positions are related to tax years that remain subject to examination by the relevant taxable authorities. The following table summarizes these open tax years by major jurisdiction:
| | | | |
Jurisdiction | | Earliest Open Year | |
|
Austria | | | 2004 | |
Canada | | | 1999 | |
Germany | | | 1994 | |
Italy | | | 2000 | |
Netherlands | | | 2000 | |
Sweden | | | 2001 | |
United Kingdom | | | 2000 | |
United States | | | 2001 | |
There have been no material changes to the components of the Company’s total unrecognized tax benefit, including the amounts, which if recognized, would affect the Company’s effective tax rate since the adoption of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007.

Stock Option and Restricted Stock Compensation Plans
The ITT 2003 Equity Incentive Plan (“2003 Equity Incentive Plan”) was approved by shareholders and established in May of 2003. This plan provides for the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and restricted stock units. The number of shares initially available for awards under this plan was 12,200,000. As of March 31, 2007, 2,826,462 shares were available for future grants. The Company awarded 335,077 and 390,597 of restricted shares and restricted share units during the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, to employees, with restriction periods of three years. The fair market value of these awards was based on the Company’s stock price on the date of grant.
A summary of the status of the Company’s stock option and restricted stock awards as of March 31, 2007 and changes during the three months then ended is presented below (shares in thousands):

The intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 was $33.8 and $75.0, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2007, the amount of cash received from the exercise of stock options was $31.3 with an associated tax benefit realized of $10.2. SFAS 123R requires that the Company classify as a financing activity the cash flows attributable to excess tax benefits from stock option exercises. For the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, $7.3 and $7.4, respectively was classified as cash flows from financing activities in the Company’s Consolidated Condensed Statement of Cash Flows as a result of stock option exercises.
Based on the Company’s closing stock price of $60.32 at the end of the quarter, the aggregate intrinsic value of the stock options outstanding and stock options exercisable as of March 31, 2007 was $228.8 and $199.2, respectively. As of March 31, 2007, all of the aforementioned exercisable options were in the money.

(In millions, except share and per share, unless otherwise stated)
As of March 31, 2007, the total number of outstanding stock options expected to vest (including those that have already vested) was 9,893 thousand. These stock options have a weighted-average exercise price of $37.29, an aggregate intrinsic value of $227.9, and a weighted-average remaining contractual life of 5.3 years.
At March 31, 2007, there was $69.9 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested awards granted under the stock option and restricted stock plans. This cost is expected to be recognized ratably over a weighted-average period of 2.2 years.
The fair value of each option grant was estimated on the date of grant using the binomial lattice pricing model. The following weighted-average assumptions that were used for grants during the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively were:
| | | | |
| | 2007 | | 2006 |
|
Dividend yield | | 0.97% | | 0.84% |
Expected volatility | | 23.0% | | 24.0% |
Expected life | | 4.8 years | | 4.8 years |
Risk-free rates | | 4.38% | | 4.72% |
Weighted average grant date fair value of options granted | | $14.43 | | $14.12 |
Long-Term Incentive Plan
The ITT Industries 1997 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “LTIP”), approved by shareholders in 1997, authorizes performance awards to be made to key employees of the Company. The LTIP is considered a liability plan, under the provisions of SFAS 123R. Accordingly, the Company is required to reassess the fair value of its LTIP awards at the end of each reporting period. Payment, if any, of target cash awards generally will be made at the end of the applicable three-year performance period and will be based on ITT Corporation’s performance measured against the total shareholder return performance of other stocks comprising the S&P Industrials Index.
The fair value of each award is calculated on a quarterly basis using Monte Carlo simulations. The three-year volatility of the outstanding awards as of March 31, 2007 was approximately 15%. The number of companies included in the applicable benchmark group range from 326 to 361 for the awards outstanding as of March 31, 2007.
At March 31, 2007, there was $30.3 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested awards granted under the long-term incentive plan. This cost is expected to be recognized ratably over a weighted-average period of 1.5 years. The total cash paid to settle the LTIP liability for the annual 2004 and the annual 2003 grants during the first quarter of 2007 and 2006 was $17.6 and $17.2, respectively.

13) Discontinued Operations
Switches
The Company has been preparing the Switches businesses, formerly reported as part of the previous Electronic Components segment, for sale since early 2006. During the third quarter of 2006, the Company initiated the solicitation of bids from interested parties and is proceeding with an active program for the sale of these businesses. Accordingly, commencing with the third quarter of 2006, the Switches businesses were reported as discontinued operations. The divestiture of the businesses is consistent with the Company’s strategy of concentrating its resources in core product areas and de-emphasizing products which are determined to be less strategic to the Company. The Switches businesses produce pushbutton, toggle, slide, DIP, rotary, multi-functional navigation, snap and thumbwheel switches, as well as customized rubber and plastic keypads, customized dome arrays and customized interface control products such as multifunction joystick control panels. The Switches businesses sell their products to a wide range of customers in the transportation, consumer, telecommunications, medical, and instrumentation market segments.

15) Commitments and Contingencies
The Company and its subsidiaries are from time to time involved in legal proceedings that are incidental to the operation of their businesses. Some of these proceedings allege damages against the Company relating to environmental liabilities, employment and pension matters, government contract issues and commercial or contractual disputes, sometimes related to acquisitions or divestitures. The Company will continue to vigorously defend itself against all claims. Although the ultimate outcome of any legal matter cannot be predicted with certainty, based on present information including the Company’s assessment of the merits of the particular claim, as well as its current reserves and insurance coverage, the Company does not expect that such legal proceedings will have a material adverse impact on the cash flow, results of operations or financial condition of the Company on a consolidated basis in the foreseeable future.
Environmental:
Accruals for environmental matters are recorded on a site by site basis when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated, based on current law and existing technologies. The Company’s environmental liability includes matters associated with properties containing disposed or recycled wastes generated by current or former properties of ITT, and nearby properties impacted by contamination caused at those properties. It is difficult to estimate the total costs of investigation and remediation due to various factors, including incomplete information regarding particular sites and other potentially responsible parties, uncertainty regarding the extent of contamination and the Company’s share, if any, of liability for such conditions, the selection of alternative remedies, and changes inclean-up standards. In management’s opinion, the total amount accrued and related receivables are appropriate based on existing facts and circumstances. In the event that future remediation expenditures are in excess of amounts accrued, management does not anticipate that they will have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

(In millions, except share and per share, unless otherwise stated)
In the ordinary course of business, and similar to other industrial companies, the Company is subject to extensive and changing federal, state, local, and foreign environmental laws and regulations. The Company has received notice that it is considered a potentially responsible party (“PRP”) at a limited number of sites by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”)and/or a similar state agency under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (“CERCLA” or “Superfund”) or its state equivalent. As of March 31, 2007, the Company is responsible, or is alleged to be responsible, for approximately 76 ongoing environmental investigation and remediation sites in various countries. These sites are in various stages of investigationand/or remediation and in many of these proceedings the Company’s liability is considered de minimis. At March 31, 2007, the Company’s best estimate for environmental liabilities is $104.4, which approximates the accrual related to the investigation and remediation of ground water, soil, and soil vapor as well as related legal fees. The low range estimate for its environmental liabilities is $77.6 and the high range estimate for those liabilities is $183.8. On an annual basis the Company spends between $8.0 and $12.0 on its environmental remediation liabilities. These estimates, and related accruals, are reviewed periodically and updated for progress of investigation and remediation efforts and changes in facts and legal circumstances. Liabilities for environmental expenditures are recorded on an undiscounted basis.
The Company is involved in an environmental proceeding in Glendale, California relating to the San Fernando Valley aquifer. The Company is one of numerous PRPs who are alleged by the EPA to have contributed to the contamination of the aquifer. In January 1999, the EPA filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Central District of California against the Company and Lockheed Martin Corporation,United States v. ITT Industries, Inc. and Lockheed Martin Corp. CV99-00552 SVW AIJX, to recover costs it incurred in connection with the foregoing. In May 1999, the EPA and the PRPs, including the Company and Lockheed Martin, reached a settlement, embodied in a consent decree, requiring the PRPs to perform additional remedial activities. Pursuant to the settlement, the PRPs, including the Company, have constructed and are funding operation of a water treatment system. The operation of the water treatment system is expected to continue until 2013, at which time a separate allocation for continued operation of the plant is expected. ITT and the other PRPs continue to pay their respective allocated costs of the operation of the water treatment system and the Company does not anticipate a default by any of the PRPs which would increase its allocated share of the liability. Additionally, modification to the allowable hexavalent chromium standard is anticipated, and this change in regulatory standard may result in additional costs for modifications to the water treatment plant. As of March 31, 2007, the Company’s accrual for operation of the water treatment plant through 2013 was $9.1 representing its best estimate; its low estimate for the liability is $5.7 and its high estimate is $14.6.
Prior to the 1995 Distribution Agreement (See “Company History and Certain Relationships” within Part I, Item 1 of on the 2006 AnnualForm 10-K for a description of the Distribution Agreement), the predecessor ITT Corporation operated a facility in Madison County, Florida from 1968 until 1991. In 1995, elevated levels of contaminants were detected at the site. Since then, ITT has completed the investigation of the site in coordination with state and federal environmental authorities and is in the process of evaluating various remedies. A final remedy for the site has not yet been selected. Currently, the estimated range for the remediation is between $3.6 and $17.4. The Company has accrued $6.2 for this matter, which approximates its best estimate.
The Company is involved with a number of PRPs regarding property in the City of Bronson, Michigan, operated by a former subsidiary of the predecessor ITT Corporation, Higbie Manufacturing, prior to the time ITT acquired Higbie. The Company and other PRPs are investigating and remediating discharges of industrial waste which occurred as early as the 1930s. The Company’s current estimates for its exposure are between $7.1 and $15.0, and has an accrual for this matter of $10.8 which represents its best estimate. The Company does not anticipate a default on the part of the other PRPs. ITT is pursuing legal claims against some other potentially responsible parties for past and future costs.

(In millions, except share and per share, unless otherwise stated)
The Company operated a facility in Rochester, New York, called Rochester Form Machine from 1979 – 2003. Rochester Form Machine was a former subsidiary of the predecessor ITT Corporation known as ITT Higbie after ITT acquired Higbie in 1972. In August 2003, the Company, through its subsidiary ITT Fluid Handling Systems, entered into an Order on Consent with New York State Department of Environmental Conservation to investigate and remediate facility-related impacts to soil, soil vapor and ground water. As of March 31, 2007, the Company’s current estimates for this exposure are between $3.5 and $13.2 and has an accrual for this matter of $5.3 which represents its best estimate. The Company will pursue claims against certain other PRPs who may share responsibility for impacts.
In a suit filed in 1991 by the Company, in the California Superior Court, Los Angeles County,ITT Corporation, et al. v. Pacific Indemnity Corporation et al., against its insurers, the Company is seeking recovery of costs it incurred in connection with its environmental liabilities including the four listed above. Discovery, procedural matters, changes in California law, and various appeals have prolonged this case. This case had been on appeal before the California Court of Appeals from a decision by the California Superior Court dismissing certain claims of the Company. The dismissed claims were claims where the costs incurred were solely due to administrative (versus judicial) actions. However, in April 2007, the Superior Court vacated its earlier ruling dismissing the claims, and, as a result, the Court of Appeals dismissed the appeal as moot. Thus, the case is now back before Superior Court for another hearing applying the California Superior Court’s ruling Powerine II. In the event the Company is successful before the Superior Court, it will pursue the administrative claims against its excess insurers. During the course of the litigation, the Company has negotiated settlements with certain defendant insurance companies and is prepared to pursue its legal remedies where reasonable negotiations are not productive.
Product Liability and Other Matters:
The Company and its subsidiary Goulds Pumps, Inc. (“Goulds”) have been joined as defendants with numerous other industrial companies in product liability lawsuits alleging injury due to asbestos. These claims stem primarily from products sold prior to 1985 that contained a part manufactured by a third party,e.g., a gasket, which allegedly contained asbestos. The asbestos was encapsulated in the gasket (or other) material and was non-friable. In certain other cases, it is alleged that former ITT companies were distributors for other manufacturers’ products that may have contained asbestos.
Frequently, the plaintiffs are unable to demonstrate any injury or do not identify any ITT or Goulds product as a source of asbestos exposure. During 2006, 2005 and 2004, ITT and Goulds resolved approximately 8,200, 16,000 and 4,200 claims, respectively. Nearly all of these claims were dismissed, with settlement on a small percentage of claims. The average amount of settlement per plaintiff has been nominal and substantially all defense and settlement costs have been covered by insurance. Based upon past claims experience, available insurance coverage, and after consultation with counsel, management believes that these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
The Company is involved in two actions,Cannon Electric, Inc. et al. v. Ace Property & Casualty Company (“ACE”) et al. Superior Court, County of Los Angeles, CA., Case No. BC 290354, andPacific Employers Insurance Company et al., v. ITT Industries, Inc., et al., Supreme Court, County of New York, N.Y., Case No. 03600463. The parties in both cases are seeking an appropriate allocation of responsibility for the Company’s historic asbestos liability exposure among its insurers. The California action is filed in the same venue where the Company’s environmental insurance recovery litigation has been pending since 1991. The New York action has been stayed in favor of the California suit. ITT and ACE and Nationwide Indemnity have successfully resolved the matter and the Company is working with other parties in the suit to resolve the matter as to those insurers.
In addition, Utica National (“Utica”) and Goulds have negotiated a coverage-in-place agreement to allocate the Goulds’ asbestos liabilities between insurance policies issued by Utica and those issued by others. The terms of
19

(In millions, except share and per share, unless otherwise stated)
the settlement will provide the Company with substantial coverage from Utica for asbestos liabilities. The Company will continue to seek coverage from its other insurers for these liabilities.
The Company has been involved in a suit filed in El Paso, Texas,Irwin Bast et al. v. ITT Industries et al., Sup. Ct., El Paso, Texas, C.A.No. 2002-4730. This Complaint, filed by both U.S. and German citizens, alleges that ITT and four other major companies failed to warn the plaintiffs of the dangers associated with exposure to x-ray radiation from radar devices. The Complaint also seeks the certification of a class of similarly injured persons. In September 2006, the Court denied the plaintiffs’ motion for class certification and motion to amend the complaint. The Court also determined that the plaintiffs failed to identify any persons who had been injured by ITT products and dismissed ITT from the action. In September 2006, the same plaintiff attorneys who filed the El Paso action, filed a companion action in state court in California against the Company, alone, seeking certification of a class of persons who were exposed to ITT radar products but who have not, as yet, exhibited symptoms of injury. The parties have finalized a settlement within the Company’s expected range and, as a result, the matter is concluded.
The Company provides an indemnity to U.S. Silica Company for silica personal injury suits against its former subsidiary Pennsylvania Glass Sand filed prior to September 12, 2005. ITT sold the stock of Pennsylvania Glass Sand to U.S. Silica Company in 1985. The Company’s indemnity had been paid in part by its historic product liability carrier, however, in September 2005, the carrier communicated to ITT that it would no longer pay a share of the costs. On October 4, 2005, ITT filed a suit against the insurer,ITT v. Pacific Employers Insurance Co., CA No. 05CV 5223, seeking its defense costs and indemnity from the insurance carrier for Pennsylvania Glass Sand product liabilities. In April 2007, the Court granted the Company’s motion for summary judgment on the carrier’s duty to defend the silica cases. The Company will seek its past and future defense costs for these cases from its carrier. All silica related costs, net of insurance recoveries, are shared pursuant to the Distribution Agreement. See “Company History and Certain Relationships” within Part I, Item 1 of the 2006 Annual report onForm 10-K for a description of the Distribution Agreement. Management believes that these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
On March 27, 2007, ITT Corporation reached a settlement relating to an investigation of its ITT Night Vision’s compliance with International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR). As part of the settlement, ITT Corporation pleaded guilty in the United States District Court for the Western District of Virginia to one ITAR violation relating to the improper handling of sensitive documents and one ITAR violation involving making misleading statements. The Company will pay a total of $50.0 in fines, forfeitures and penalties, including a payment of $30.0 made in the first quarter of 2007. This liability was fully accrued at December 31, 2006. The Government has agreed to defer action regarding a third count of ITAR violations, pending the Company’s implementation of a remedial action plan. The Company has also agreed to invest $50.0 over the next five years in research and development and capital improvements for its Night Vision products. As a result of the guilty plea, ITT Corporation became subject to automatic statutory “debarment” from future export licenses. However, because the debarment will be applicable to only a portion of the Company’s Night Vision business, it is expected that the net effect of the debarment will restrict less than 5% of total Night Vision sales for a period of not less than one year. The Company can seek restatement of export privileges after one year. The Company anticipates negotiating administrative agreements with the Departments of State and Defense during the second quarter of 2007. Management believes that this matter will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
On April 17, 2007, the Company’s Board of Directors received a letter on behalf of a shareholder requesting that the Board take appropriate action against the employees responsible for the actions described in the Company’s agreements with the United States Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Virginia, which were disclosed onForm 8-K filed on March 30, 2007. The request is being evaluated.
On April 20, 2007, the Company received notice of a shareholder derivative action,Sylvia Piven trustee under trust agreement dated April 3, 1973 f/b/o Sylvia B. Piven, derivatively on behalf of ITT Corporation v. Steve Loranger et al. and ITT Corporation, U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, Civil Action

No. 07-V-2878, alleging that the Company’s Board of Directors breached their fiduciary duties in connection with the Company’s compliance programs at its Night Vision business. The Complaint seeks compensatory and punitive damages for the Company from its Directors, the removal of the Directors, and the election of new directors. The Company intends to file a motion to dismiss the Complaint at the appropriate time. Management believes that the suit will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
16) Guarantees, Indemnities and Warranties
Guarantees & Indemnities
Since its incorporation in 1920, the Company has acquired and disposed of numerous entities. The related acquisition and disposition agreements contain various representation and warranty clauses and may provide indemnities for a misrepresentation or breach of the representations and warranties by either party. The indemnities address a variety of subjects; the term and monetary amounts of each such indemnity are defined in the specific agreements and may be affected by various conditions and external factors. Many of the indemnities have expired either by operation of law or as a result of the terms of the agreement. The Company does not have a liability recorded for the historic indemnifications and is not aware of any claims or other information that would give rise to material payments under such indemnities. The Company has separately discussed material indemnities provided within the last ten years.
The Company provided a performance bond guarantee in the amount of $10.0 related to its real estate development activities in Flagler County, Florida. The Company would be required to perform under this guarantee if certain parties did not satisfy all aspects of the development order, the most significant aspect being the expansion of a bridge. The maximum amount of the undiscounted future payments equals $10.0. At March 31, 2007, the Company has an accrual related to this matter in the amount of $10.0.
In December of 2002, the Company entered into a sales-type lease agreement for its corporate aircraft and then leased the aircraft back under an operating lease agreement. The Company has provided, under the agreement, a residual value guarantee to the counterparty in the amount of $44.8, which is the maximum amount of undiscounted future payments. The Company would have to make payments under the residual value guarantee only if the fair value of the aircraft was less than the residual value guarantee upon termination of the agreement. At March 31, 2007, the Company does not believe that a loss contingency is probable and therefore does not have an accrual recorded in its financial statements.
In connection with the coverage in place agreement between Goulds and Utica described in Note 15, “Commitments and Contingencies,” the Company has provided a short-term standby letter of credit in the amount of $10.0 to secure repayment by Goulds of sums previously advanced by Utica under that settlement.
Product Warranties:
The Company warrants numerous products, the terms of which vary widely. In general, the Company warrants its products against defect and specific non-performance. In the automotive businesses, liability for product defects could extend beyond the selling price of the product and could be significant if the defect shuts down production or results in a recall. At March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, the Company has product warranty accruals as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | 2007 | | | 2006 | |
|
Beginning balance January 1, | | $ | 46.8 | | | $ | 39.3 | |
Accruals for product warranties issued in the period | | | 5.8 | | | | 8.2 | |
Changes in pre-existing warranties, including changes in estimates | | | (1.7 | ) | | | 0.7 | |
Payments | | | (5.6 | ) | | | (5.4 | ) |
| | | | | | | | |
Ending balance March 31, | | $ | 45.3 | | | $ | 42.8 | |

There were no material acquisitions during the first quarter of 2007.
2006 Acquisitions
During the first quarter of 2006, the Company spent $23.7 for the acquisition of a company within the Defense Electronics & Services segment. As of March 31, 2007, the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired of $14.9 was recorded as goodwill. Intangible assets relating to the acquisition totaled $17.5 of proprietary technology at March 31, 2007.

Higher volumes from existing businesses (“organic growth”) at each of the Company’s reportable segments contributed $224.5 or 12.5% to the overall revenue growth. In addition, the Company realized sales and revenues from acquired companies of $15.2 during the current period.
A discussion of sales and revenues by reportable segment is included in the Segment Review section of this MD&A.

The Company’s costs of sales and revenues (“CGS”) increased $177.4 or 13.6% in the first quarter of 2007 compared to the same prior year period. The increase was primarily attributable to the higher volume of sales and revenues. Gross margin was higher for the first quarter of 2007 at 28.2% compared to 26.9% for the first quarter of 2006, resulting from continued efforts to enhance supply chain productivity and control material costs.

Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) increased $56.9 or 21.6% in 2007 compared to the first quarter of 2006. SG&A as a percentage of sales for the first quarter of 2007 was slightly higher than the same prior year period. Theyear-over-year increase was primarily attributable to increased marketing expense of $25.2 resulting from product campaigns and new sale proposals. Additionally, the increase in SG&A was also driven by higher sales commissions resulting from the increase in revenues during the quarter, and increased general and administrative costs in support of the Company’s overall growth strategy, including efforts to expand its businesses into emerging markets.

Operating income for the first quarter of 2007 increased $48.3 or 28.5% compared to the first quarter of 2006. Segment operating margin for the first quarter of 2006 was 12.0%, or 100 basis points, above the comparable prior year period. The increase was primarily due to higher volume and supply chain productivity enhancements, partially offset by increased SG&A expenses.

Interest expense during the first quarter of 2007 increased $3.9 or 19.6% from the comparable prior year period. The increase was primarily attributable to higher debt levels during the first quarter of 2007 primarily reflecting the Company’s funding for common stock repurchases and pension plan contributions. During the first quarter of 2007, the Company recorded interest income of $8.2, an increase of $4.5 from the first quarter of 2006, resulting primarily from a higher balance of cash and cash equivalents over the comparable 2006 period.
25
During the first quarter of 2007, income tax expense was $61.2 compared to $44.9 for the comparable prior year period. The Company’s effective tax rate was 30.9% and 30.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
Income from continuing operations was $136.8 or $0.74 per diluted share for the first quarter of 2007, compared to $102.9 or $0.55 per diluted share for the comparable 2006 period. The increase reflects the results discussed above.
During the first quarter of 2007, the Company recognized $3.2 of income from discontinued operations compared to $53.0 in the comparable prior year period. The 2007 income is attributable to operating results associated with the Company’s Switches business. The 2006 income primarily includes a $46.5 gain on the sale of the Company’s automotive brake & fuel tubing and components business and the Company’s industrial non-metallic lined pumps and valves business.

Fluid Technology
For the three months ended March 31, 2007, the Fluid Technology segment had revenues of $786.0, an increase of $100.3 or 14.6% from the same prior year period. On a constant currency basis, first quarter 2007 revenues increased $75.9 or 11.1% over the first quarter of 2006, primarily attributable to organic growth of 9.1% over the same period. Market share gains, large pump sales and strength in the dewatering business drove organic growth of 18.1% in the Wastewater market, while strength in international markets helped drive organic growth of 9.7% in the Industrial & BioPharm market. Revenues from the Advanced Water Treatment business grew 17.0% over the prior year, including the addition of the F.B. Leopold business acquired during the second quarter of 2006. Organic revenue growth for the Advanced Water Treatment business decreased 13.4% over the first quarter of 2006. The Residential & Commercial Water business, with organic growth of 5.1% for the first quarter of 2007, also contributed to the segment’s overall performance, as strong sales to commercial applications more than offset softness in the residential market. Revenues from acquisitions accounted for $13.8 or 2.0% of revenues for the period.
Operating income increased $23.8 or 37.6% during the first quarter of 2007. On a constant currency basis, operating income increased $20.3 or 32.1%. Operating margin increased 1.9% to 11.1% over the prior year period as a result of volume increases and a continued focus on operational initiatives, including global sourcing.
Defense Electronics & Services
For the three months ended March 31, 2007, the Defense Electronics & Services business segment had revenues of $969.4, an increase of $138.3 or 16.6% over the same prior year period. The increase was driven by results from the Night Vision, Electronic Systems, Advanced Engineering & Services and Systems businesses which returned growth rates of approximately 57%, 33%, 33%, and 14% respectively. The increase attributable to the Night Vision business was due in part to the impact of delivery delays during the first quarter of 2006. Revenues for the first quarter of 2007 from the Aerospace/Communications business were relatively flat compared to 2006.
Operating income increased $14.6 or 15.2% from the first quarter of 2007. Theyear-over-year increase was primarily attributable to increased sales volume from the Night Vision and Electronic Systems businesses, and improvements in operating effectiveness at the Aerospace/Communications business. These benefits were partially offset by increased selling, general and administrative costs including increased marketing expense related to bids
26
on both domestic and international fronts. As a result, operating margin of 11.4% was relatively flat compared to 11.5% during the first quarter of 2006.
Motion & Flow Control
For the three months ended March 31, 2007, the Motion & Flow Control business segment had revenues of $318.2, an increase of $40.0 or 14.4% from the comparable prior year period. On a constant currency basis, revenues from this segment grew $25.4 or 9.1% over the same periods. Theyear-over-year increase in revenues was attributable to all of the segment’s businesses, in particular due to the Connectors and Friction businesses, which posted organic growth rates of 12.6% and 9.7%, respectively.
Operating income increased $13.4 or 35.6% in 2007 compared to the first quarter of 2006. Operating margin for the three months ended March 31, 2007 was 16.0% or 2.5% higher than the same prior year period. Theyear-over-year increase was primarily attributable to volume growth, lower restructuring expense and ongoing productivity and efficiency efforts.
Corporate and Other
Corporate expenses of $31.0 increased $3.5 compared to the first quarter of 2006. The increase reflects increased compensation expense, principally stock-based compensation.
Restructuring and Asset Impairment Charges
2007 Restructuring Activities
During the first quarter of 2007, the Company recorded a net restructuring charge of $6.4 reflecting costs of $4.5 related to new actions and $2.2 related to prior year plans, as well as the reversal of $0.3 of restructuring accruals that management determined would not be required.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
The charges associated with actions announced during the first quarter of 2007, represent a reduction of structural costs in all segments and the closure of one facility in the Defense Electronics & Services segment. Planned position eliminations total 41, including 18 factory workers, 22 office workers and one management employee. The costs attributable to the first quarter of 2007 primarily reflect severance, lease cancellation and asset impairment costs. The costs associated with prior year plans primarily reflect an asset impairment cost for a closed facility as well as additional severance and other costs.
The projected future savings from restructuring actions announced during the first quarter of 2007 are approximately $2 during 2007 and $23 between 2008 and 2012. The savings primarily represent lower salary and wage expenditures and will be reflected in “Costs of Sales and Revenues” and “Selling, General and Administrative Expenses”.
Payments of $1.2 were made during the first quarter of 2007 related to actions announced during the quarter.
2006 Restructuring Activities
During the first quarter of 2006, the Company recorded a net restructuring charge of $11.9 reflecting costs of $10.8 related to new actions and costs of $1.8 related to prior year plans as well as the reversal of reversal of $0.7 restructuring accruals that management determined would not be required.

These charges represent a reduction of structural costs in all segments, as well as the planned closure of two facilities in the Fluid Technology segment and one facility in the Motion & Flow Control segment. Planned position eliminations total 361, including 225 factory workers, 126 office workers, and 10 management employees. The costs attributable to the first quarter 2006 primarily reflect severance and other employee costs as well as asset impairment costs. The costs associated with prior year plans primarily reflect additional severance costs.
The projected future savings from restructuring actions announced during the first quarter of 2006 are approximately $19 during 2007 (of which $7 is incremental to savings realized in 2006) and $77 between 2008 and 2011. The savings primarily represent lower salary and wage expenditures and will be reflected in “Costs of Sales and Revenues” and “Selling, General and Administrative Expenses”.
Payments of $6.6 were made during the first quarter of 2007 related to actions announced during 2006.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash and cash equivalents increased $113.1 during the first quarter of 2007. The Company issued short-term debt of $305.6 primarily to fund share repurchases and capital expenditures, as the Company’s operating activities resulted in a small use of cash in the quarter. The Company expects that, on a full year basis, it will continue to generate enough cash from operations to fund capital expenditures, while at the same time returning value to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends. On October 27, 2006, the Company committed to a three year $1 billion share repurchase program. The dividend has been increased 27% for 2007.

Operating Activities
Cash provided by operating activities in the first quarter of 2007 increased $50.3 from the prior year. The improvement is due to a $33.9 increase in income from continuing operations combined with a reduction in contributions to the U.S. Salaried Pension Plan from $100.0 in 2006 to $50.0 in 2007, reflected in the change in other current and non-current assets. These increases in cash were partially offset by a payment of $30.0 towards $50.0 in fines, forfeitures, and penalties the Company agreed to in conjunction with its settlement with the U.S. Government relating to ITT Night Vision’s compliance with International Traffic in Arms Regulations. See Note 15, “Commitments and Contingencies,” in the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements, for further discussion of the Night Vision matter. The payment was reflected in the change in accounts payable and accrued expenses.

Investing Activities
Additions to Plant, Property and Equipment:
Capital expenditures during the first quarter of 2007 were $28.1, down slightly as compared to the first quarter of 2006. The Defense Electronics & Services segment decreased its capital expenditures $6.0 due primarily to facility expansion investments in the first quarter of 2006, while our Fluid Technology segment increased its capital expenditures $5.6 largely from incremental investments in our facilities in Asia and Eastern Europe.
Acquisitions:
During the first quarter of 2006, the Company spent $23.7 for the acquisition of a company which is included in the Defense Electronics & Services segment.
Divestitures:
In the first quarter of 2006, the Company completed the sale of Fluid Handling Systems and Richter for net proceeds of $212.5.
Financing Activities
The Company’s funding needs are monitored and strategies are executed to manage overall cash requirements and debt ratios. The Company’s current debt ratios have positioned it to continue to grow the business with investments for organic growth and through strategic acquisitions, while providing the ability to return value to shareholders through increased dividends and share repurchases.

Total debt at March 31, 2007 was $1.4 billion, compared to $1.1 billion at December 31, 2006. The increase primarily reflects the Company’s funding for common stock repurchases and capital expenditures.
The Company maintains a five-year revolving credit agreement in the aggregate principal amount of $1.25 billion which, at the Company’s discretion, could be increased up to an additional $500.0, for a total facility of $1.75 billion. The provisions of this agreement require that the Company maintain an interest coverage ratio, as defined, of 3.5 times. At March 31, 2007, the Company’s coverage ratio was well in excess of the minimum requirements.
29
Share Repurchases
In the first quarter of 2007, the Company spent $186.5 on the repurchase of common stock. Of this amount, $48.6 relates to 852,447 shares which were acquired at the end of 2006 and settled in January 2007. The remaining $137.9 relates to 2,343,491 shares repurchased in January and February 2007. This activity was part of a $1 billion share repurchase program announced during the fourth quarter of 2006. In the first quarter of 2006, the Company spent $68.8 for the repurchase of 1,446,265 shares to offset stock option exercises and restricted stock issuances.
In 2007, the Company anticipates that the share repurchase program will effectively reduce outstanding shares by between 1% and 2% versus 2006.
Discontinued Operations — Operating Activities
During the first quarter 2007, cash generated from operating activities of discontinued operations declined $18.6 to $5.0 from the comparable prior year period. The primary driver of the decrease in cash flow was the absence of operating cash flows from Fluid Handling Systems and Richter as a result of their disposition in the first quarter of 2006.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of the Company’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. The Company believes the most complex and sensitive judgments, because of their significance to the Consolidated Financial Statements, result primarily from the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. Management’s Discussion and Analysis and Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2006 Annual Report onForm 10-K describe the significant accounting estimates and policies used in preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements. Actual results in these areas could differ from management’s estimates. There have been no significant changes in the Company’s critical accounting policies or estimates during the first three months of 2007.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109,” (“FIN 48”). Under FIN 48, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company adopted the provisions set forth by FIN 48 effective January 1, 2007. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of the date of adoption was $88.8. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, the Company recognized an increase in liabilities of $26.1 for unrecognized tax benefits. See Note 6 “Income Taxes”, in the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements, for further details related to the Company’s adoption.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” which is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and for interim periods within those years. This statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands the related disclosure requirements. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this statement.
In September 2006, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position AUG AIR-1, “Accounting for Planned Major Maintenance Activities” which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. This position statement eliminates theaccrue-in-advance method of accounting for planned major maintenance activities. This pronouncement did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities,” (“SFAS 159”), which is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. This statement
30
provides the Company the option to elect to carry certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value with change in fair value recorded in earnings. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this statement.
Contractual Obligations and Commitments
The Company’s contractual obligations and commitments have not changed materially from those disclosed in the 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Risks and Uncertainties
Environmental Matters
The Company is subject to stringent environmental laws and regulations that affect its operating facilities and impose liability for the cleanup of past discharges of hazardous substances. In the United States, these laws include the Federal Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, and the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act. Management believes that the Company is in substantial compliance with these and all other applicable environmental requirements. Environmental compliance costs are accounted for as normal operating expenses.
In estimating the costs of environmental investigation and remediation, the Company considers, among other things, regulatory standards, its prior experience in remediating contaminated sites, and the professional judgment of environmental experts. It is difficult to estimate the total costs of investigation and remediation due to various factors, including incomplete information regarding particular sites and other potentially responsible parties, uncertainty regarding the extent of contamination and the Company’s share, if any, of liability for such problems, the selection of alternative remedies, and changes in cleanup standards. When it is possible to create reasonable estimates of liability with respect to environmental matters, the Company establishes accruals in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted within the United States. Insurance recoveries are included in other assets when it is probable that a claim will be realized. Although the outcome of the Company’s various remediation efforts presently cannot be predicted with a high level of certainty, management does not expect that these matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. For disclosure of the Company’s commitments and contingencies, see Note 15, “Commitments and Contingencies,” in the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements and Note 22, “Commitments and Contingencies” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of the 2006 Annual Report onForm 10-K.

These forward-looking statements include statements that describe the Company’s business strategy, outlook, objectives, plans, intentions or goals, and any discussion of future operating or financial performance. Whenever used words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “target” and other terms of similar meaning are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are uncertain and to some extent unpredictable, and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied from, such forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause results to differ materially from those anticipated by the Company include general global economic conditions, decline in consumer spending, interest and foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, availability of commodities, supplies and raw materials, competition, acquisitions or divestitures, changes in government defense budgets, employment and pension matters, contingencies related to actual or alleged environmental contamination, claims and concerns, intellectual property matters, personal injury claims, governmental investigations, tax obligations, and changes in generally accepted accounting principles. Other factors are more thoroughly set forth in Item 1. Business, Item 1 A. Risk Factors and Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Forward-Looking Statements in the ITT Corporation Annual Report onForm 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, and other of its filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The following should be read in conjunction with Note 15 “Commitments and Contingencies” to the unaudited interim Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Part I of this report, as well as Part I, Item 3 of the Company’s 2006 Annual Report onForm 10-K.
The Company and its subsidiaries from time to time are involved in legal proceedings that are incidental to the operation of their businesses. Some of these proceedings allege damages against the Company relating to environmental liabilities, intellectual property matters, copyright infringement, personal injury claims, employment and pension matters, government contract issues and commercial or contractual disputes, sometimes related to acquisitions or divestitures. The Company will continue to vigorously defend itself against all claims. Although the ultimate outcome of any legal matter cannot be predicted with certainty, based on present information including the Company’s assessment of the merits of the particular claim, as well as its current reserves and insurance coverage, the Company does not expect that such legal proceedings will have any material adverse impact on the cash flow, results of operations, or financial condition of the Company on a consolidated basis in the foreseeable future.

The above activity was part of a $1 billion share repurchase program announced during the fourth quarter of 2006. This program replaces the Company’s previous practice of covering shares granted or exercised in the context of ITT’s performance incentive plans. The program is consistent with the Company’s capital allocation process which is centered on those investments necessary to grow its businesses organically and through acquisitions, while also providing cash returns to shareholders.
The Company’s strategy for cash flow utilization is to pay dividends first and then repurchase Company common stock to cover option exercises made pursuant to the Company’s stock option programs and restricted stock issuances. The remaining cash is then available for strategic acquisitions and discretionary repurchases of the Company’s common stock and repayment of debt.
