(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 U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (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, 2014 (2014 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 2014 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 and recoveries from insurers, 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.

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 Yet Adopted
In July 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) amended the existing accounting standards for inventory, requiring that an entity measure inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. The amendment applies to all inventory that is measured using a method other than last-in, first-out (LIFO) or the retail inventory method. The new guidance will be effective for the Company beginning in its first quarter of 2017 and will be applied prospectively. The adoption of this amendment is not expected to have a material impact to ITT's financial statements.
In May 2014, the FASB amended 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. The new guidance will be effective for the Company beginning in its first quarter of 2018. The amendments may be applied retrospectively to each prior period presented or with the cumulative effect recognized as of the date of initial application. ITT is currently evaluating the impact of these amendments and the transition alternatives on ITT's financial statements.
NOTE 3

2015 Interconnect Solutions Restructuring Actions
In May 2015, we announced a restructuring action for the Company's Interconnect Solutions (ICS) segment to reduce overall costs and better align the segment with current market conditions. The Company expects to incur cash restructuring costs, principally involuntary severance, of approximately $12 for 110 employees, which represents 6% of the ICS global workforce. The Company expects to substantially complete these actions in the next twelve months. The following table provides a rollforward of the restructuring accruals associated with the 2015 ICS restructuring action.

2015 Industrial Process Restructuring Actions
In March 2015, we announced a series of restructuring actions in the Company's Industrial Process segment related to a strategic reorganization of the business and to achieve efficiencies and reduce the overall cost structure. The Company expects to incur cash restructuring costs, principally involuntary severance costs of approximately $15 to $16 and other non-cash restructuring costs of approximately $2 in aggregate related to this action. The costs incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 primarily relate to employee severance for approximately 200 planned headcount reductions. We expect to incur the remaining restructuring costs of approximately $6 to $7 over the next 3 to 6 months related to this action. The following table provides a rollforward of the restructuring accruals associated with the 2015 Industrial Process restructuring actions.

2013 / 2014 Interconnect Solutions Restructuring Actions
In 2013, we initiated a comprehensive restructuring plan to improve the overall cost structure of the Company's ICS segment, including the transition of certain production lines from one location to another existing lower cost manufacturing site. During 2015, we reversed $0.2 of a previously estimated restructuring liability and made cash payments of $7.3, resulting in a remaining liability of $9.4 as of September 30, 2015. The remaining liability, which is primarily related to employee severance, is expected to be fully satisfied over the next 18 months. We do not expect to incur any additional charges related to this restructuring action.
NOTE 5
INCOME TAXES
For the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company recognized income tax expense of $11.4 and $38.0, respectively, representing an effective tax rate of 10.6% and 31.9%, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company recognized income tax expense of $53.0 and $63.4, respectively, representing an effective tax rate of 16.1% and 28.8%, respectively. The lower effective tax rate in 2015 is primarily resulting from the settlement of a U.S. income tax audit and the release of the valuation allowance on certain net deferred tax assets in China due to positive income in recent years. The Company continues to benefit from earnings eligible for a tax holiday in South Korea, as well as a larger mix of earnings in non-U.S. jurisdictions with favorable tax rates.
During the third quarter, the Company effectively settled the U.S. income tax audit for tax years 2009-2011. The Company recorded a tax benefit of $18.0 in continuing operations, which includes a net tax benefit of $8.0 from favorable audit adjustments and $10.0 from the recognition of previously unrecognized tax positions. In addition, this U.S. income tax audit resulted in tax benefit of $20.9 related to discontinued operations, which includes net tax expense of $17.4 from unfavorable audit adjustments and a tax benefit of $38.3 from the recognition of previously unrecognized tax positions. In accordance with the existing Tax Matters Agreement entered into between the Company, Exelis, and Xylem in connection with the 2011 spin-off (the Tax Matters Agreement), the Company is entitled to reimbursement for a portion of the tax liability and has recorded a receivable of $1.6 and $13.2 in continuing and discontinued operations, respectively.
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 includes dealing with 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 $17.7 due to changes in audit status, expiration of statutes of limitations and other events. The settlement of any future examinations could result in changes in amounts attributable to the Company under its existing Tax Matters Agreement with Exelis and Xylem.

We made contributions to our global postretirement plans of $8.2 and $7.7 during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. We expect to make additional contributions of approximately $2 to $5 during the remainder of 2015, principally related to our other postretirement employee benefit plans.
Amortization from accumulated other comprehensive income into earnings related to prior service cost and net actuarial loss was $0.8 and $1.9, and $0.8 and $2.1, net of tax, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. No other reclassifications from accumulated other comprehensive income into earnings were recognized during any of the presented periods.
