ITT Reports Solid Growth In 2012 Second Quarter, Maintains Full-Year EPS And Organic Revenue Guidance

2012 Second-Quarter Business Segment Results Industrial Process Industrial Process designs and manufactures industrial pumps and valves for the oil and gas, chemical, mining and industrial markets.

• 2012 second-quarter revenue was up 16 percent to $233 million and organic revenue was up 15 percent compared to the prior year, reflecting strength in all end markets served in North America, global mining strength and a 19 percent increase in aftermarket revenue.
• Adjusted operating income for the segment in the second quarter was $29 million, a 2 percent year-over-year decrease, as volume and strong operating productivity were offset by competitive project pricing conditions in emerging markets and post-spin incremental recurring costs.

Motion Technologies Motion Technologies designs and manufactures braking technologies and shock absorbers for the automotive and rail markets.

• 2012 second-quarter revenue declined 6 percent to $155 million. However, organic revenue increased 5 percent, when adjusted for foreign currency impact. Results were driven by global share gains in both automotive and rail markets, which more than offset European weakness.
• Adjusted operating income for the business in the second quarter of 2012 was $20 million, a 7 percent decrease compared with the prior-year quarter, as volume increases and operating productivity were offset by unfavorable foreign currency exchange, expenses incurred in the development of a new production and research facility in Wuxi, China, and negative sales mix shift.

Interconnect Solutions Interconnect Solutions designs and manufactures connectors and interconnects for the aerospace, industrial and transportation markets.

• 2012 second-quarter revenue for Interconnect Solutions was $100 million, an 8 percent decline, as strength in oil and gas connectors was more than offset by general weakness in the European market combined with a decrease in the communications connectors market. Organic revenue declined 5 percent compared to the prior-year second quarter.
• Adjusted operating income for the second quarter of 2012 was $6 million, a 61 percent decrease compared with the 2011 second quarter, as net operating productivity was more than offset by lower volumes and negative mix shift as well as a prior year gain on an asset sale.

Control Technologies Control Technologies designs and manufactures products including fuel management, actuation, and noise and energy absorption components for the aerospace and industrial markets.

• In Control Technologies, second-quarter total and organic revenue declined 3 percent and 2 percent, respectively, to $81 million. However, excluding the impact of a prior-year rail project, revenue was up 4 percent driven by growth in commercial aerospace in North America and global general industrial markets.
• 2012 second-quarter adjusted operating income was $15 million, a decrease of 4 percent, as improvements in pricing, mix shift and net operational productivity were offset by lower volumes and negative foreign currency exchange impacts.

Guidance

The company maintains its guidance for full-year 2012 of adjusted earnings in the range of $1.62 to $1.72 per share and organic revenue of 5 to 7 percent including expected market share gains as well as the impact of late-cycle strength in oil and gas and mining. The company also expects emerging markets growth will be approximately 10 percent driven by oil and gas in the Middle East and mining in Latin America, automotive gains in China and new global platforms and products.
