As one of the
worlds leading producers of fluid handling equipment and
related products for treating and recycling wastewater, ITT
actively promotes more efficient use and re-use of water and
endeavors to raise the level of awareness of the need to
preserve and protect the earths water resources. ITT
strives to provide its global customer base with the systems and
solutions they need to meet ever-increasing demands on life
cycle cost control and operating efficiencies.
Our strategy to
expand across the value chain to provide better service for our
customers is moving us from a product supplier to a solution
provider. Through ITTs overarching strategic Value Based
Product Development program, we now have in place a company-wide
system for rapid development of new offerings and technologies
to augment our current offering of systems and solutions. This
strategy has guided us in our acquisitions and business
development efforts. For example, today ITT can extend its core
offering of submersible pumps and mixers with systems to control
plant operation, technologies that analyze the waste stream, and
products and systems to treat water through biological,
treatment, filtration, oxidation and disinfection processes.
In the industrial
markets, our pump systems are now equipped with intelligent
control technologies. Customers engaging in our total
systems approach generally experience dramatically lower
energy consumption, and reduced maintenance and operating costs.
Fluid Technology has
a global network of authorized service centers for aftermarket
customer care. Our aftermarket service capabilities include the
repair and service of all brands of pumps and rotating
equipment, engineering upgrades, as well as preventative and
routine maintenance and service.
The level of
activity in Fluid Technology is dependent upon economic
conditions in the markets served, weather conditions and, in the
case of municipal markets, the ability of municipalities to fund
projects for our products and services, and other factors. See

See Note 21,
Business Segment Information, in the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements for further geographical
information concerning sales and revenues and long-lived assets.
Competition
Substantially all of
our operations are in highly competitive businesses. The nature
of the competition varies across all business segments. A number
of large companies engaged in the manufacture and sale of
similar lines of products and the provision of similar services
are included in the competition, as are many small enterprises
with only a few products or services. Technological innovation,
price, quality, reliability, and service are primary factors in
the markets served by the various segments of our businesses.
Our many products and services go to market collectively linked
by the ITT brand, the engineered blocks symbol, and the tagline
Engineered for life. The brand has been enhanced and
strengthened over the years through a coordinated effort that
includes advertising, public relations activities, trade
exhibits, and point-of-sale material.
Our Defense
Electronics & Services business segment operates in an
environment that has changed as a result of business
consolidations. We have adjusted to these changes by focusing on
the defense electronics and services markets, by making process
improvements, and through capacity rationalization. In most of
the markets served by Defense Electronics & Services,
competition is based primarily upon price, quality,
technological expertise, cycle time, and service.
The Fluid Technology
business segment is affected by strong competition, changing
economic conditions, periodic industry overcapacity that leads
to intense pricing pressures, and public bidding in some
markets. We respond to competitive pressures by utilizing strong
distribution networks, strong brand names, broad product lines
focused on market niches, a global customer base, a continuous
stream of new products developed from a strong technology base,
a focus on quality and customer service, and through continuous
cost improvement programs and life cycle cost initiatives.
In
Motion & Flow Control, competition is a significant
factor, which has resulted in increased pressure to reduce
prices and, therefore, costs. Product capability, quality,
engineering support, and experience are also important
competitive factors. We are focused on differentiated new
product development and maintenance of strong customer
relationships, with emphasis on continuous improvement, striving
to maintain our competitive advantage.
Exposure to
Currency Fluctuations
We conduct
operations worldwide; therefore, are exposed to the effects of
fluctuations in relative currency values. Although we engage,
from time to time, in various hedging strategies with respect to
our foreign currency exposure where appropriate, it is not
possible to hedge all such exposure. Accordingly, our operating
results may be impacted by fluctuations in relative currency
values.
Cyclicality
Many of the
businesses in which we operate are subject to specific industry
and general economic cycles. Certain businesses are subject to
industry cycles, including but not limited to the residential
and commercial real estate, construction, oil and gas, mining
and minerals, marine, transportation, automotive and aerospace
industries.
Governmental
Regulation and Related Matters
A number of our
businesses are subject to governmental regulation by law or
through contractual arrangements. Our Defense
Electronics & Services businesses perform work under
contracts with the United States Department of Defense or other
agencies of the United States government and similar agencies in
certain other countries. These contracts are subject to security
and facility clearances under applicable governmental
regulations, including the requirement of background
investigations for high-level security clearances for our
executive officers. Most of such contracts are subject to
termination by the respective governmental parties on various
grounds, although such terminations generally are rare.
A portion of our
business is classified by the government and cannot be
specifically described. The operating results of these
classified programs are included in our consolidated financial
statements. The business risks associated with classified
programs, as a general matter, do not differ materially from
those of our other government programs and products.
Environmental
Matters
We are subject to
stringent environmental laws and regulations concerning air
emissions, water discharges and waste disposal.
7
In the United
States, such environmental laws and regulations 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.
Environmental requirements are significant factors affecting all
operations. Management believes that our companies closely
monitor all of their respective environmental responsibilities,
together with trends in environmental laws. We have established
an internal program to assess compliance with applicable
environmental requirements for all of our facilities. The
program is designed to identify problems in a timely manner,
correct deficiencies and prevent future noncompliance. Over the
past several years we have conducted regular, thorough audits of
our major operating facilities. As a result, management believes
that our companies are in substantial compliance with current
environmental regulations. Management does not believe, based on
current circumstances, that we will incur compliance costs
pursuant to such regulations that will have a material adverse
effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash
flows. In addition, we have purchased insurance protection
against certain unknown risks.
See Legal
Proceedings and Managements Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations Contingent Liabilities.
Raw
Materials
All of our
businesses require various raw materials, the availability and
prices of which may fluctuate. Although some cost increases may
be recovered through increased prices to customers, our
operating results are exposed to such fluctuations. We attempt
to control such costs through long-term purchasing and various
other programs. There have been no raw materials shortages that
have had a material adverse impact on our business as a whole.
Research and
Development
Our businesses
require substantial commitment of resources for research and
development activities to maintain significant positions in the
markets we serve. Such activities are conducted in laboratory
and engineering facilities at several of our major manufacturing
locations. Research and development activities are important in
all of our business segments. During 2008, 2007 and 2006, we
spent $244.3, $182.3, and $160.9, respectively, on research and
development. We also spent $935.2, $708.9 and $499.3, in 2008,
2007, and 2006, respectively, on research and development
pursuant to customer contracts.
Intellectual
Property
While we own and
control a number of patents, trade secrets, confidential
information, trademarks, trade names, copyrights, and other
intellectual property rights which, in the aggregate, are of
material importance to our business, management believes that
our business, as a whole, is not materially dependent upon any
one intellectual property or related group of such properties.
We are licensed to use certain patents, technology, and other
intellectual property rights owned and controlled by others,
and, similarly, other companies are licensed to use certain
patents, technology, and other intellectual property rights
owned and controlled by us.
Patents, patent
applications, and license agreements will expire or terminate
over time by operation of law, in accordance with their terms or
otherwise. Such expiration or termination of patents, patent
applications, and license agreements is not expected by our
management to have a material adverse effect on our financial
position, results of operations or cash flows.
At the time of the
Distribution (see Company History and Certain
Relationships), we obtained from ITT Destinations certain
exclusive rights and licenses to use the ITT name,
mark, and logo. In 1999, we acquired all rights, title, and
interest in and to the ITT name, mark, and logo and
an assignment of certain agreements granting The Hartford and
ITT Educational Services, Inc. (ESI) limited rights to use the
ITT name, mark, and logo in their businesses. These
agreements are perpetual, and the licenses are subject to
maintenance of certain quality standards by both The Hartford
and ESI.
Employees
As of
December 31, 2008, ITT employed approximately
40,800 people. Approximately 24,100 are employed in the
United States, of whom approximately 18% are represented by
labor unions. Generally, labor relations have been maintained in
a normal and satisfactory manner.
Company History
and Certain Relationships
ITT Corporation is
an Indiana corporation incorporated on September 5, 1995 as
ITT Indiana, Inc. It is the successor pursuant to a statutory
merger of ITT Corporation, a Delaware corporation (ITT
Delaware), into ITT Indiana, Inc. effective
December 20, 1995, whereupon its name became ITT
Industries, Inc. ITT Delaware, originally incorporated in
Maryland in 1920 as International Telephone and Telegraph
Corporation, was reincorporated in Delaware in 1968. It changed
its name to ITT Corporation in 1983. On December 19, 1995,
ITT Delaware made a distribution (the Distribution)
to its stockholders consisting of all the shares of common stock
of ITT Destinations, Inc., a Nevada corporation (ITT
Destinations), and all the shares of common stock of ITT
Hartford Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (now known as The
Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc. or The
Hartford), both of which were wholly-owned subsidiaries of
ITT Delaware. In connection with the Distribution, ITT
Destinations changed its name to ITT
8
Corporation. On
February 23, 1998, ITT Corporation was acquired by Starwood
Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc. On July 1, 2006
ITT Industries, Inc. changed its name to ITT Corporation.
ITT Delaware, ITT
Destinations, and The Hartford entered into a Distribution
Agreement (the Distribution Agreement) providing
for, among other things, certain corporate transactions required
to effect the Distribution and other arrangements among the
three parties subsequent to the Distribution.
The Distribution
Agreement provides for, among other things, assumptions of
liabilities and cross-indemnities generally designed to allocate
the financial responsibility for the liabilities arising out of
or in connection with (i) the former Automotive,
Defense & Electronics, and Fluid Technology segments
to ITT Industries, Inc. (now ITT Corporation) and its
subsidiaries, (ii) the hospitality, entertainment, and
information services businesses to ITT Destinations and its
subsidiaries, and (iii) the insurance businesses to The
Hartford and its subsidiaries. The Distribution Agreement also
provides for the allocation of the financial responsibility for
the liabilities arising out of or in connection with former and
present businesses not described in the immediately preceding
sentence to or among ITT Industries, Inc., ITT Destinations, and
The Hartford on a shared basis. The Distribution Agreement
provides that neither ITT Industries, Inc. (now ITT
Corporation), ITT Destinations nor The Hartford will take any
action that would jeopardize the intended tax consequences of
the Distribution.
ITT Industries, Inc.
(now ITT Corporation), ITT Destinations, and The Hartford also
entered into agreements in connection with the Distribution
relating to intellectual property, tax, and employee benefit
matters.

See
Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations Forward-Looking
Statements for information regarding forward-looking
statements and cautionary statements relating thereto.
We are subject to
various risks and uncertainties relating to or arising out of
the nature of our businesses, financial conditions and results
of operations, including those discussed below, which may affect
the value of our securities. We believe the risks discussed
below are currently the most significant, although additional
risks not presently known to us or that we currently deem less
significant may also materially impact our business, financial
condition and results of operations. If any of the events or
circumstances described in the following risk factors occur, our
business, financial condition or results of operations may
suffer, and the trading price of our common stock could decline.
Adverse
macroeconomic and business conditions, particularly in the local
economies of the countries or regions in which we sell our
products, may significantly and negatively affect our revenues,
profitability and results of operations.
Economic conditions
in the United States and in foreign markets in which we operate
could substantially affect our sales and profitability. Economic
activity in the United States and throughout much of the world
has undergone a sudden, sharp economic downturn following the
recent housing downturn and subprime lending collapse. Global
credit and capital markets have experienced unprecedented
volatility and disruption. Business credit and liquidity have
tightened in much of the world. Consumer confidence and spending
are down significantly.
Changes in
governmental banking, monetary and fiscal policies to restore
liquidity and increase credit availability may not be effective
or such effects may be delayed. It is difficult to determine the
breadth and duration of the economic and financial market
problems and the many ways in which they may affect our
suppliers, customers and our business in general. Nonetheless,
continuation or further worsening of these difficult financial
and macroeconomic conditions could have a significant adverse
effect on our sales, profitability and results of operations.
Recent distress
in the financial markets has had an adverse impact on the
availability of credit and liquidity resources.
Continued market
deterioration could jeopardize certain counterparty obligations,
including those of our insurers and
9
financial
institutions. If for any reason we lose access to our currently
available lines of credit, or if we are required to raise
additional capital, we may be unable to do so in the current
credit and stock market environment, or we may be able to do so
only on unfavorable terms.
The tightening of
credit markets may reduce the funds available to our customers
to buy our products and services for an unknown, but perhaps
lengthy, period. Restrictive credit markets may also result in
customers extending times for payment and may result in our
having higher customer receivables with increased default rates.
General concerns about the fundamental soundness of domestic and
foreign economies may also cause customers to reduce their
purchases from us even if they have cash or if credit is
available to them.
Our business
could be adversely affected if we are not able to integrate
acquisitions; our acquisitions could cause financial
difficulties.
As part of our
growth strategy, we plan to pursue the acquisition of other
companies, assets and product lines that either complement or
expand our existing business. Because of restricted credit
markets, our ability to acquire new businesses may be impeded.
Further, although we conduct what we believe to be a prudent
level of investigation regarding the operating and financial
condition of the businesses we purchase, an unavoidable level of
risk remains regarding the actual operating condition of these
businesses. Until we actually assume operating control of these
business assets and their operations, we may not be able to
ascertain the actual value or understand the potential
liabilities of the acquired entities and their operations.
Acquisitions involve
a number of risks and present financial, managerial and
operational challenges, including:
|
|
|
|
n
|
diversion of
management attention from other businesses;
|
|
|
n
|
integration of
technology, operations, personnel and financial and other
systems;
|
|
|
n
|
potentially
insufficient internal controls over financial activities or
financial reporting at an acquired company that could impact us
on a consolidated basis;
|
|
|
n
|
the failure to
realize expected synergies;
|
|
|
n
|
the possibility that
we have acquired substantial undisclosed liabilities; and
|
|
|
n
|
the loss of key
employees of the acquired businesses.
|
Our integration
activities may place substantial demands on our management,
operational resources and financial internal control systems.
Customer dissatisfaction or performance problems with an
acquired business could also have a material adverse effect on
our reputation and business. In addition, any acquired business
could under-perform relative to our expectations.
If the fair value
of any of our reporting units is insufficient to recover the
carrying value of the goodwill and other intangibles of the
respective reporting unit, a material non-cash charge to
earnings could result.
We account for
goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles in accordance with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS)
No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
(SFAS 142). SFAS 142 states that
goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are not
amortized, but are instead reviewed for impairment annually (or
more frequently if impairment indicators arise).
We conduct annual
impairment testing to determine if we will be able to recover
all or a portion of the carrying value of goodwill and
indefinite-lived intangibles. In addition, we review goodwill
and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment more
frequently if impairment indicators arise. If the fair value is
insufficient to recover the carrying value of our goodwill and
indefinite-lived intangibles, we may be required to record a
material non-cash charge to earnings.
Consistent with the
requirements of SFAS 142, the fair values of our reporting
units generally are based on discounted cash flow projections
that are believed to be reasonable under current and forecasted
circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making
judgments about carrying values of the reported net assets of
our reporting units. Any significant change in market conditions
and estimates or judgments used to determine expected future
cash flows that indicate a reduction in carrying value may give
rise to impairment in the period that the change becomes known.
Our Fluid
Technology and Motion & Flow Control business segments
are subject to certain industry risks, which could have adverse
effects on the results of our operations.
Many of the
businesses in which we operate are subject to specific industry
and general economic cycles. Certain businesses are subject to
industry cycles, including but not limited to the residential
and commercial real estate, construction, oil and gas, mining
and minerals, transportation, automotive and aerospace
industries. Downturns in these industries could adversely affect
portions of our businesses.
10
Our Fluid Technology
business segment depends upon the ability of municipal markets
to fund projects involving our products and services. A
significant decline or delay in this funding would have an
adverse effect on the results of our business.
Industry
overcapacity in the pump and valve market could have an adverse
impact on the results of our Fluid Technology business segment.
Weather conditions
including drought, natural disasters, and excessive rains may
negatively affect our Fluid Technology and Motion &
Flow Control business segments.
Decrease in demand
for replacement parts and services would adversely affect our
Fluid Technology and Motion & Flow Control business
segments.
Our Defense
Electronics & Services business segment is subject to
certain risks, including defense budgets and government contract
requirements and regulations, which could have adverse effects
on the results of our operations.
Because 94% of our
Defense Electronics & Services sales and revenues are
to the U.S. Government, changes in the portion of the
U.S. Defense budget devoted to products and services of the
types of products provided by ITT, and our present ability to
receive awards of U.S. Government contracts, could
adversely impact our business. This includes U.S. Defense
programs impacted as a result of program evaluations to be
conducted in 2009 under the new U.S. Administration.
Our Defense
Electronics & Services business segment records
billions of dollars of orders on an annual basis, and we have
anticipated that our overall performance will benefit from sales
and revenues to certain international markets. Variability of
timing and size of certain key orders could negatively impact
the performance of these businesses.
Many of our
government contracts are subject to profit limitations, which
limit our upside potential on a per contract basis, and all are
subject to termination by our customers. Termination of key
government contracts or a significant number of government
contracts would have a negative impact on our business.
Many Defense
Electronics & Services contracts are subject to
security and facility clearances, as well as export licenses,
which, if withdrawn, restricted or made unavailable, would
adversely affect our business.
Changes in
government contracting regulations, and related governmental
investigations could increase our costs of regulatory compliance
and could have a negative effect on our brand name and on our
ability to win new business.
Our revenues and
profitability could be negatively impacted as a result of
competition.
We operate in highly
competitive industries. Our failure to compete effectively could
harm our business. Competitive pressures in all our businesses
include product capability, technological innovation, cycle
time, price, quality and the reliability of services we offer.
In our Defense Electronics & Services and Fluid
Technology business segments, competition includes public
bidding on many contracts.
Our manufacturing
operations are dependent upon third-party suppliers.
We obtain materials
from third-party suppliers. Delays in obtaining supplies may
result from a number of factors affecting our suppliers,
including capacity constraints, labor disputes, the impaired
financial condition of a particular supplier, suppliers
allocations to other purchasers, ability to meet regulatory
requirements, weather emergencies or acts of war or terrorism.
Any delay in our suppliers abilities to provide us with
necessary materials could impair our ability to deliver products
to our customers and, accordingly, could have a material adverse
effect on our business, results of operations and financial
condition.
Our business
could be adversely affected if we are not able to execute our
restructuring actions or other cost-saving
initiatives.
Our restructuring
activities may place substantial demands on our management,
which could lead to the diversion of managements attention
from other business priorities and lack of customer focus. In
addition, we strive for and expect to achieve cost savings in
connection with certain initiatives, including:
(i) manufacturing process and supply chain rationalization;
(ii) streamlining redundant administrative overhead and
support activities; and (iii) restructuring and
repositioning organizations. Cost savings expectations are
inherently estimates that are difficult to predict and are
necessarily speculative in nature, and we cannot assure you that
we will achieve expected, or any, cost savings.
Interest and
foreign currency exchange rate and commodity price fluctuations
may adversely affect our results.
We are exposed to
the risks associated with changes in interest rates, currency
exchange rates, and commodity prices. From time to time, we
engage in hedging strategies to limit the risks from such
fluctuations, but it is not possible to hedge against all
eventualities.
We are subject to
laws, regulations and potential liability relating to claims,
complaints and proceedings,
11
including those
related to antitrust, environmental, product, and other
matters.
We are subject to
various laws, ordinances, regulations and other requirements of
government authorities in foreign countries and in the United
States, such as the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, any
violations of which could create a substantial liability for us,
and also could cause harm to our reputation. Changes in laws,
ordinances, regulations or other governmental policies may
significantly increase our expenses and liabilities.
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 liabilities, product
liability, personal injury claims, employment and pension
matters, government contract issues and commercial or
contractual disputes, sometimes related to acquisitions or
divestitures. Additionally, we may become subject to significant
claims of which we are currently unaware or the claims of which
we are aware may result in our incurring a significantly greater
liability than we anticipate or can estimate.
Unanticipated
changes in our tax rate or exposure to additional tax
liabilities resulting from changes to tax laws among other
factors could negatively affect our profitability.
Changes in fair
value of our benefit plan assets and other factors may have a
material adverse effect on the valuation of pension plan
obligations, the funded status of pension plans and our pension
cost.
A substantial
portion of our current and retired employee population is
covered by pension and other employee-related benefit plans. The
cost of our these plans is incurred over long periods of time
and involve various factors and uncertainties during those
periods of time, including the value of plan assets, the
expected rates of return on plan assets, discount rates for
future payment obligations and trends for future costs. In
addition, funding requirements for employee benefit plans are
subject to legislative and other government regulatory actions.
Financial market volatility during the fourth quarter of 2008
resulted in substantial a decline in the fair market value of
our employee pension plan assets. This decline translated into a
significant reduction in our shareholders equity and a
comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2008.
Continued deterioration in this asset pool or other adverse
changes to our overall pension and other employee-related
benefit plans, including material declines in the fair value of
our pension plan assets, could adversely affect our financial
position and results of operations and could require us to make
significant funding contributions.
We face
heightened legal challenges with respect to intellectual
property.
We have developed
and actively pursue developing proprietary technology in the
industries in which we operate, and rely on intellectual
property laws and a number of patents to protect such
technology. In doing so, we incur ongoing costs to enforce and
defend our intellectual property. Our inability to protect our
intellectual property could have a material adverse effect on
our business. In addition, third parties may claim that we
infringe on their intellectual property, and we could suffer
significant litigation or licensing expense as a result.
Our future
success will depend on, among other factors, our key
employees.
Our ability to
operate our business and implement our strategies depends, in
part, on the efforts of our executive officers and other key
personnel. Our future success will depend on, among other
factors, our ability to develop key employee succession plans.
The loss of the services of any of our key employees,
domestically or abroad, could have a material adverse effect on
our business or business prospects.
We are a
decentralized company, which presents certain risks.
We are a
decentralized company, which presents certain risks. While we
believe this practice has catalyzed our growth and enabled us to
remain responsive to opportunities and to our customers
needs, it necessarily places significant control and
decision-making powers in the hands of local management. This
presents various risks, including the risk that we may be slower
or less able to identify or react to problems affecting a key
business than we would in a more centralized environment. In
addition, it means that company-wide business
initiatives, such as the integration of information technology
systems, are often more challenging and costly to implement, and
their risk of failure higher, than they would be in a more
centralized environment. Depending on the nature of the
initiative in question, such failure could materially adversely
affect our business, financial condition or results of
operations.
These risk factors
are discussed in more detail under the captions

Currency Fluctuations; Cyclicality;

Matters; Environmental Matters; Raw

On
October 27, 2006, we announced a three-year $1 billion
share repurchase program. On December 16, 2008, we
announced that the ITT Board of Directors had approved the
elimination of the expiration date with respect to the
repurchase program. This program replaces our previous practice
of covering shares granted or exercised in the context of
ITTs performance incentive plans. The program is
consistent with our capital allocation process, which is
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, pay dividends, repay debt,
complete strategic acquisitions, and repurchase common stock. As
of December 31, 2008, we had repurchased 7.1 million
shares for $430.8, including commission fees, under our
$1 billion share repurchase program.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENTS
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
(In millions,
except per share amounts, unless otherwise stated)
BUSINESS
OVERVIEW
ITT is a global
multi-industry leader in high-technology engineering and
manufacturing engaged directly and through its subsidiaries. We
generate revenue and cash through the design, manufacture, and
sale of a wide range of engineered products and the provision of
related services. For financial reporting purposes our
businesses are aggregated and organized into three principal
business segments, Defense Electronics & Services,
Fluid Technology, and Motion & Flow Control.
Our growth strategy
is centered on both organic and acquisition growth. Our ability
to grow organically stems from our value-based product
development process, new and existing technologies, distribution
capabilities, customer relationships and strong market
positions. In addition to our growth initiatives, we have a
number of strategic initiatives within the framework of the ITT
Management System aimed at enhancing our operational
performance. These include global sourcing, footprint
rationalization and realignment, Six Sigma and lean fulfillment.
Key Performance
Indicators and Non-GAAP Measures
Management reviews
key performance metrics including sales and revenues, segment
operating income and margins, earnings per share, orders growth,
and backlog, among others.
In addition, we
consider the following non-GAAP measures to be key performance
indicators:
|
|
|
|
n
|
organic sales
and revenues, organic orders, and
organic operating income defined as sales and
revenues, orders, and operating income, respectively, excluding
the impact of foreign currency fluctuations and contributions
from acquisitions and divestitures.
|
|
|
n
|
free cash
flow defined as cash flow from operations less capital
expenditures.
|
Management believes
that these metrics are useful to investors evaluating our
operating performance for the periods presented, and provide a
tool for evaluating our ongoing operations and our management of
assets held from period to period. These metrics, however, are
not a measures of financial performance under accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States
(GAAP) and should not be considered a substitute for
sales and revenue growth (decline), or cash flows from
operating, investing and financing activities as determined in
accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly
titled measures reported by other companies.
EXECUTIVE
SUMMARY
Despite challenging
market conditions during the fourth quarter, we achieved record
revenue and earnings during 2008. Sales and revenues for the
full year ended December 31, 2008 were $11.7 billion,
an increase of 29.9% over 2007. Income from continuing
operations increased 22.5% in 2008 over 2007 to $4.23 per
diluted share, reflecting net cost productivity, contributions
from acquisitions such as EDO and IMC, organic revenue growth
and lower pension expense, which more than offset additional
restructuring and realignment costs and strategic growth
investments.

2009
OUTLOOK
Recent changes in
the global economic environment, including disruptions in global
financial markets and global currency fluctuations, will create
difficult 2009 market conditions. In this environment, our
strategy is to focus on the current needs of our customers,
deploy our capital in a disciplined manner, focus on cost
controls, and execute on our operational initiatives.
We are going to
focus on our customers by aligning our activities, including our
vital service and maintenance offerings, with their needs. We
plan to improve product life cycle costs by making our products
more energy efficient and by reducing the total cost of
ownership.
We are focused on
protecting our financial position through continued high free
cash flow generation coupled with a balanced capital deployment
approach, including the preservation of liquidity, a dividend
increase and the elimination of the expiration date of our share
repurchase program.
We are proactively
reducing costs and leveraging our business and functional
strength to achieve competitive advantages. We will continue
strategic initiatives within the framework of the ITT Management
System aimed at enhancing our operational performance. We are
now planning approximately $50 of new restructuring actions in
2009 and are developing contingency plans that are reactive to
any volume declines beyond our expectations for 2009. Other cost
and productivity actions include discretionary cost controls,
and driving incremental supply chain savings through our
integrated global strategic sourcing group.
We continue to plan
for the long-term by supporting strategic growth investments,
including research and development activities, significant
capital investments to support our strategic initiatives,
including our position on the FAA next generation air traffic
control program, emerging market expansion, and investing in new
information technology systems.
Current global
economic conditions could have a negative impact on our 2009
performance, particularly within our Fluid Technology and
Motion & Flow Control business segments. However, we
expect that our Defense Electronics & Services
business segment will provide a stable base for 2009 due in part
to a strong funded backlog position and a winning program track
record.
Factors impacting
our 2009 performance, compared to 2008, include revenue declines
in our Fluid Technology and Motion & Flow Control
business segments, higher pension and other employee
benefit-related costs, lower restructuring actions, and benefits
from productivity and cost containment initiatives. We also
anticipate that foreign currency fluctuations will have a
negative impact on our 2009 results of operations.
KNOWN TRENDS AND
UNCERTAINTIES
The following list
represents a summary of trends and uncertainties, which could
have a significant impact on our results of operations,
financial position
and/or cash
flows from operating, investing and financing activities.
|
|
|
|
n
|
Organic revenues
grew 4.9% during the fourth quarter of 2008 compared to the
prior year, lower than our full year 2008 growth rate of 7.2%.
Additionally, organic orders declined 22.0% and 5.2% during the
fourth quarter of 2008 at our Motion & Flow Control
and Fluid Technology business segments, respectively. This
reflects, in part, the impact of the recent economic downturn.
It is difficult to determine the breadth and duration of the
recent economic and financial market decline and the many ways
in which it may affect our suppliers, customers and our business
in general. Continuation or further worsening of these difficult
financial and macroeconomic conditions could have a significant
adverse effect on our sales, profitability and results of
operations.
|
|
|
n
|
The real estate
market has suffered greatly over the last year, particularly
within the United States and Europe. Continued decline in demand
would result in further negative impacts to those portions of
our Fluid Technology business segment which sell products with
residential and commercial market applications.
|
|
|
n
|
Recent declines in
economic conditions could cause certain municipalities to cancel
certain projects or delay their related funding, which could
have an adverse effect on the results of our Fluid Technology
business segment. A portion of our Fluid Technology business
segment provides products to end markets such as oil and gas,
power, chemical and mining. We expect to see some level of order
delays
and/or
cancellations during 2009 as a result of declining economic
conditions and the impact on these end markets.
|
|
|
n
|
The International
Air Transport Association recently reported cargo traffic and
passenger traffic declines of approximately 23% and 5%,
respectively. Continued declines could negatively impact a
portion of our Motion & Flow Control businesses
segment.
|
|
|
n
|
A portion of our
Motion & Flow Control business segment is sensitive to
trends within the connector industry. A recent Bishop Report, a
publication for the connector industry, forecasts a 2009 decline
in sales of approximately 15%.
|
19
|
|
|
|
n
|
The global
automotive and marine markets have declined significantly over
the last year. OEM production has contracted over the same
period. These markets are expected to be challenged during 2009,
and as a result, portions of our Motion & Flow Control
business segment could be adversely impacted.
|
|
|
n
|
U.S. Defense
programs could be impacted as a result of program evaluations to
be conducted during 2009. Changes in the portion of the
U.S. Defense budget devoted to these programs could
adversely impact our business. In addition, we have anticipated
that our overall performance will benefit from certain
international markets. Variability of timing and size of key
orders could negatively impact our future results.
|
|
|
n
|
We expect to incur
approximately $40.6 of net periodic pension cost in 2009.
Changes to our overall pension and other employee-related
benefit plans, including material declines in the fair value of
our pension plan assets among others, could adversely affect our
results of operations beyond 2009, as well as require us to make
significant funding contributions.
|
|
|
n
|
Recent distress in
the financial markets has had an adverse impact on the
availability of credit and liquidity resources. Short-term and
long-term interest rates increased significantly during the
fourth quarter of 2008, including rates on our commercial paper.
Volatility in these markets and their impact on interest rates
have been somewhat less predictable than in years past. Higher
rates would negatively impact our results of operations.
|
The information
provided above does not represent a complete list of trends and
uncertainties that could impact our business in either the near
or long-term. It should, however, be considered along with the
risk factors identified in Item 1A of this Annual Report on
Form 10-K
and our disclosure under the caption Forward-Looking
Statements at the end of this section.

SALES AND
REVENUES
Sales and revenues
for the year ended December 31, 2008 were $11,694.8,
representing a 29.9% increase over 2007. This increase reflects
contributions from acquisitions of $1,948.7, including EDO and
IMC, and a benefit of $98.5 from foreign currency exchange
fluctuations. Despite a global economic environment that
deteriorated as the year progressed, organic revenues grew 7.2%
over the prior year primarily driven by higher volumes, price
increases and contributions from new products and programs.
During the fourth quarter of 2008, organic revenues grew 4.9%,
as portions of our business were impacted by the recent economic
downturn.
Sales and revenues
for the year ended December 31, 2007 were $9,003.3,
representing a 15.3% increase over 2006. Organic revenue growth
of 10.9% over the same period was primarily driven by higher
volumes and price increases.
The following table
illustrates the impact of organic growth, acquisitions completed
during the period, and foreign currency translation fluctuations
on sales and revenues during these periods.

Orders received
during 2008 totaled $11,726.1, an increase of $2,628.3 over the
prior year, including orders attributable to acquisitions and a
favorable benefit from foreign currency exchange translation.
Organic orders increased 8.5% overall, including growth of 14.8%
and 5.6% at our Defense Electronics & Services and
Fluid Technology business segments, respectively. Our
Motion & Flow Control business segment reported a full
year organic orders decline of 3.0%. Organic orders declined at
each of our business segments during the fourth quarter of
22
2008 compared to the
same prior year period, including 22.0% and 5.2% decreases at
our Motion & Flow Control and Fluid Technology
business segments, respectively. We believe that these order
declines, taken into consideration with the current level of
backlog attributable at our commercial businesses, indicate that
our 2009 sales and revenues could be substantially lower than
those reported in 2008.
During 2007, we
received orders of $9,097.8, an increase of $706.1 or 8.4%, over
the prior year period. Order growth in 2007 was attributable to
our Fluid Technology and Motion & Flow Control
business segments, including contributions from both existing
businesses and acquisitions.
COSTS OF SALES
AND REVENUES AND GROSS PROFIT
Costs of sales and
revenues were $8,439.4 and $6,435.0 for the years ended
December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. These results
represent increases of 31.1% and 14.5% over each respective
prior year, primarily reflecting the impact of acquisitions,
including EDO and IMC during 2008, higher organic sales volume
over both periods, and the negative impact of foreign currency
exchange translation.
Gross profit for the
year ended December 31, 2008 was $3,255.4, a 26.8% increase
over 2007. Gross margin of 27.8% decreased 70 basis points
for 2008, due to higher production costs, impact from the EDO
acquisition, partially offset by price increases, and benefits
from productivity and strategic initiatives, including efforts
to improve supply chain productivity and control material costs.
Gross profit for the
year ended December 31, 2007 was $2,568.3, a 17.3% increase
over 2006. Gross margin improved 50 basis points to 28.5%
for 2007. This increase was driven by our productivity and cost
savings initiatives, including continued efforts to improve
supply chain productivity and control material costs, partially
offset by unfavorable mix and foreign currency transaction costs.
SELLING, GENERAL
AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
Selling, general and
administrative expenses (SG&A) increased 28.4%
to $1,723.5 for the year ended December 31, 2008. The
year-over-year increase was primarily attributable to the
acquisitions of EDO and IMC, and a negative impact from foreign
currency exchange translation. In addition, we recognized
certain loss reserves as a result of realignment actions taken
during the fourth quarter of 2008 in our Fluid Technology and
Motion & Flow Control business segments.
SG&A increased
$166.8, or 14.2% in 2007. The year-over-year increase was
primarily attributable to higher levels of marketing expense at
each of our business segments in support of product campaigns
and new sales proposals. In addition, general and administrative
expense increased due to higher compensation-related costs,
investments in growth and process improvement initiatives, and
the impact of foreign currency translation.
SG&A as a
percentage of sales were 14.7%, 14.9%, and 15.1% for the three
years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
RESEARCH AND
DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES
Research and
development expenses (R&D) increased $62.0 and
$21.4 during 2008 and 2007, respectively, over each prior year
period. The 2008 increase reflects the impact of our recent
acquisitions, including EDO and IMC. R&D as a percentage of
sales were relatively consistent at 2.1%, 2.0%, and 2.1% for the
three years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006,
respectively, as we continued our efforts within each of our
business segments to support product development.
RESTRUCTURING AND
ASSET IMPAIRMENT CHARGES, NET
During 2008, 2007
and 2006, we recorded $77.5, $66.1 and $51.7, respectively, of
restructuring charges and asset impairment charges, net of
restructuring accruals reversed. These charges primarily include
facility consolidations and headcount reductions, which reflect
our efforts to streamline our operating structure. As a result
of a declining global economic environment, we accelerated
restructuring activities during the fourth quarter of 2008,
which, as a result, will better position our businesses for 2009.
See the section
entitled Restructuring and Asset Impairment Charges
and Note 4, Restructuring and Asset Impairment
Charges, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
for additional information.
OPERATING
INCOME
Operating income of
$1,210.1 for 2008 reflects a 23.8% increase over the prior year.
This increase was largely due to the impact from our EDO and IMC
acquisitions. In addition, we realized organic operating income
growth of 18.8% and 7.0% from our Defense
Electronics & Services and Fluid Technology business
segments, respectively. These contributions were primarily
attributable to higher sales volumes and new programs at the
Defense Electronics & Services business segment, and
price increases at the Fluid Technology business segment.
Operating income increased $4.3 at our Motion & Flow
Control business segment primarily due to contributions from
acquisitions, such as IMC, and a benefit from foreign currency
exchange translation, partially offset by higher production
costs.
Operating margin
decreased 60 basis points year-over-year to 10.3% for the
year ended December 31, 2008. This decrease reflects
increased SG&A, including the impact of acquisitions
(higher amortization of intangible assets), costs incurred in
23
connection with our
fourth quarter realignment actions, higher restructuring
expense, and unfavorable foreign currency transaction costs,
partially offset by benefits from operating efficiencies and
cost savings initiatives, and lower pension expense.
Operating income of
$977.2 for 2007 reflects a 22.0% increase over the prior year.
This increase was driven by organic growth attributable to each
of our business segments and the benefit of foreign currency
exchange translation. Higher volumes coupled with price
increases and benefits from operating efficiencies and
cost-saving initiatives more than offset higher production costs
and higher SG&A expense.
INTEREST EXPENSE
AND INTEREST INCOME
During 2008, 2007
and 2006, we recognized interest expense of $140.8, $114.9, and
$86.2, respectively.
Interest expense
increased 22.5% during 2008 due to higher levels of debt,
primarily reflecting our funding for acquisitions and capital
expenditures during the periods, tax-related charges, and higher
interest rates during the fourth quarter of 2008, partially
offset by lower interest rates during the first nine months of
2008.
Interest expense
increased 33.3% during 2007 primarily due to higher average debt
levels during the year, reflecting funding for acquisitions,
stock repurchases, capital expenditures and pension plan
contributions. Partially offsetting the 2007 year-over-year
increase was a decrease of $7.0 in interest expense related to
income taxes as a result of the settlement of a tax examination
during the second quarter of 2007.
We recorded interest
income of $31.3, $49.6, and $25.4 for the years ended
December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006. The year-over-year 2008
decrease and 2007 increase in interest income was driven by the
average balance of cash and cash equivalents held over each
respective period.
INCOME TAX
EXPENSE
Income tax expense
was $312.3 or 28.7% of income from continuing operations for the
year ended December 31, 2008, compared to $265.5 or 29.5%
during the prior year. The year-over-year decrease in the
effective tax rate was primarily attributable to a tax account
validation adjustment and the benefit from mix of earnings in
countries with differing statutory rates, partially offset by a
benefit recognized during 2007 associated with the settlement of
a tax examination.
Income tax expense
was $265.5 or 29.5% of income from continuing operations for the
year ended December 31, 2007, compared to $227.6 or 31.3%
during the prior year. The year-over-year decrease in the
effective tax rate was primarily attributable to a benefit
recognized during 2007 associated with the settlement of a tax
examination, partially offset by the impact of a penalty
recognized in 2006 associated with a Night Vision compliance
matter.
See Note 6,
Income Taxes, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements for additional information.
INCOME FROM
DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS, NET OF TAX
During 2007, we sold
the majority of the Switches businesses to a private equity
firm, for net proceeds of $223.2, and an after-tax gain of
$84.4. During the third quarter of 2008, we completed the sale
of the remaining component of the Switches businesses to the
same buyer, for net proceeds of $5.1. As a result, we recorded
an after-tax gain on sale of $5.4 for the year ended
December 31, 2008.
In the first quarter
of 2006, we completed the sale of FHS, our automotive brake and
fueling tubing and components business to a privately held
company for net proceeds of $187.7 and a gain of $19.0. The
business, which was a component of our Motion & Flow
Control business segment, manufactures steel and plastic tubing
for fuel and brake lines, quick-connects, and serves the
transportation industry.
During the first
quarter of 2006, we also completed the sale of Richter, our
industrial non-metallic lined pumps and valves business to a
private equity investor for net proceeds of $24.8 and a gain of
$22.2. The business, which was a component of the Fluid
Technology business segment, was a manufacturer of pumps and
valves for selected segments in the chemical, fine chemical and
pharmaceutical industries.

2008 Versus
2007
Acquisitions,
including EDO and its shipments of CREW, contributed $1,766.4 in
sales and revenues for the year ended December 31, 2008.
Organic sales increased $341.9 or 8.2%, primarily due to
contributions from the Advanced Engineering & Sciences
Division, driven by both existing and new contracts, including
classified research programs, data analysis contracts, and the
Federal Aviation Administrations contract to build
the next generation air-traffic control system. Organic
revenue growth was also attributable to contributions from our
Communications Systems Division, driven by strength in
international Single Channel Ground and Airborne Radio sales,
and Systems Division, primarily driven by non-conflict related
programs such as SENSOR, missile defense and space control
programs. Positive contributions from the GPS Navigation and the
GeoEye projects were more than offset by declines in remote
sensing and classified government programs at our Space Systems
Division. Night Vision Division organic sales increased as a
result of contributions from new products and higher
international sales. Sales and revenues from our Electronic
Systems Division was relatively flat year-over-year, as
decreases in our radar systems offset contributions from
avionics.
Operating income
increased $224.3 or 44.6% during 2008. Acquisitions, including
EDO, contributed $129.8 during 2008, with the remaining increase
of $94.5 attributable to organic growth. The year-over-year
organic growth increase was primarily attributable to the
previously mentioned sales drivers. Operating margins decreased
40 basis points to 11.6%, reflecting higher production
costs, higher amortization of intangible assets recognized as a
result of the EDO acquisition, partially offset by benefits from
productivity improvements and supply chain initiatives.
2007 Versus
2006
The benefit of new
programs and sales growth on existing contracts, particularly at
the Advanced Engineering & Services and Systems
Divisions, drove the 2007 increase in sales and revenues. In
addition, volume declines within Space Systems business due to
lower content on certain platforms partially offset the
segments overall performance. Results attributable to
acquisitions during 2007 related primarily to EDO.
Operating income
increased $98.4 or 24.3% during 2007. Excluding the impact of
acquisitions, operating income increased $102.0 or 25.2%. This
increase was primarily attributable to the previously mentioned
sales drivers. Operating margins of 12.0% during 2007, reflect a
100 basis point improvement over 2006. This increase was
attributable to increased operating efficiencies, partially
offset by estimated costs to settle compliance issues in the
Defense Electronics & Services business segment.
Orders and
Backlog
The level of order
activity related to programs within the Defense
Electronics & Services business segment can be
affected by the timing of government funding authorizations and
project evaluation cycles. Year-over-year comparisons could, at
times, be impacted by these factors, among others.
We received orders
of $6,232.9 during 2008, an increase of $2,159.0 over the prior
year, primarily attributable to contributions from acquisitions
of $1,555.1, including EDO. Organic orders grew 14.8% over the
prior year. Funded order backlog was $5.2 billion at
December 31, 2008 and 2007.
We received orders
of $4,073.9 during 2007, a decrease of $44.1 compared with the
prior year. Funded order backlog was
25
$5.2 billion at
December 31, 2007, compared to $3.9 billion at
December 31, 2006.
Fluid
Technology
Sales and revenues
for the year ended December 31, 2008 were $3,840.6,
reflecting an 9.4% increase over 2007. During 2007, sales and
revenues grew 14.3% over 2006 to $3,509.1. The following table
illustrates the impact of organic growth, acquisitions completed
during the period, and foreign currency translation fluctuations
on sales and revenues during these periods.

2008 Versus
2007
Sales and revenues
increased $331.5 over the prior year. This increase was
primarily attributable to organic growth of 7.7%, driven by
higher volume and price, and the benefit from foreign exchange
translation. Factors driving organic sales growth were as
follows:
Organic sales
increased $104.5 or 6.3% for the year ended December 31,
2008, due to strength in water/wastewater transport,
particularly within the municipal market, and dewatering,
primarily attributable to the mining market.
|
|
|
Residential &
Commercial Water |
|
|
Organic sales
increased $55.4 or 4.7% for the year ended December 31,
2008, respectively, due to strength in global commercial
markets; strength in the North American agriculture/irrigation
market, offset by weakness in the North American residential
market.
Organic sales
increased by $121.9 or 17.3% for the year ended
December 31, 2008, due to strength in our industrial
operations, particularly within the chemical, oil and gas, power
and mining markets.
Operating income for
the year ended December 31, 2008 increased $36.0 or 8.3%
over prior year, with a benefit of 1.3% attributable to foreign
currency exchange translation. Organic operating income growth
of 7.0% was primarily attributable to the previously mentioned
sales drivers. Operating margins decreased 10 basis points
to 12.2% during 2008, reflecting higher production costs, as
well as costs associated with the disposition of a manufacturing
facility, partially offset by benefits from productivity
improvements and supply chain initiatives and lower pension
expense.
During 2008, we
received orders of $3,938.7, an increase of $281.6 or 7.7% over
the prior year, primarily due to organic order growth of $204.7
or 5.6%. This increase was primarily attributable to Industrial
Process, resulting from strength in large project orders and
strength in international markets. Order backlog was $890.1 at
December 31, 2008, compared to $887.1 at December 31,
2007.
2007 Versus
2006
During 2007, we
recognized sales and revenues of $3,509.1, an increase of $439.0
or 14.3% over 2006, including a $138.3 benefit from foreign
currency exchange translation. Organic revenues grew 8.9%
year-over-year due to higher prices and increased sales volume
in international markets such as Europe, the Middle East,
Africa, Central and South America and Asia/Pacific.
Water &
Wastewater
Organic sales grew
8.3%, on strength in large pump sales and the dewatering
business, partially offset by softness in the U.S. water
treatment business.
Residential &
Commercial Water
Organic sales grew
5.7%, as strength in commercial applications was partially
offset by softness in the residential market.
Organic sales
increased by 17.3%, resulting from strength in large project
sales, particularly in the mining and oil and gas markets.
Operating income for
the year ended December 31, 2007 increased $62.1 or 16.8%
over prior year, with a benefit of 5.2% attributable to foreign
currency exchange translation. The 2007 year-over-year
organic income growth was primarily attributable to the
previously mentioned sales drivers. Operating margins increased
20 basis points to 12.3% during 2007, reflecting higher
prices, favorable sales mix, lower restructuring expense, and
benefits from productivity improvements and supply chain
initiatives, partially offset by increased production costs and
selling, general and administrative expense.
During 2007, we
received orders of $3,657.1, an increase of $513.0 or 16.3% over
the prior year. This increase was primarily attributable to
strength in water transport, particularly within the mining and
the public utility/municipal markets, and continued strength in
industrial project orders. Order backlog was $887.1 at
December 31, 2007, compared to $702.2 at December 31,
2006.
26
Motion &
Flow Control
Sales and revenues
for the year ended December 31, 2008 were $1,583.4,

2008 Versus
2007
Sales and revenues
increased $250.9 over the prior year, primarily attributable to
contributions from IMC and the benefit of foreign currency
exchange translation. Organic sales and revenues grew $27.4 or
2.1%. Factors driving this increase were as follows:
Motion
Technologies
Organic sales
increased $26.9 or 5.4%. These increases were attributable to
higher volumes of OEM components (new platform wins), and
aftermarket brake pad sales. These contributions were partially
offset by a general slowdown during the second half of 2008 in
the global automotive markets.
Interconnect
Solutions
Organic sales
increased on higher volumes by $16.1 or 3.8%, primarily
attributable to the Americas and Asia markets (strength in
medical, defense, aerospace, rail and industrial markets,
particularly within the oil & gas industry).
Flow
Control
Organic sales
decreased $25.0 or 9.9%. This decrease was primarily
attributable to an overall decline in the bath, spa and
whirlpool markets, partially offset by positive contributions
from the domestic beverage market.
Control
Technologies
Organic sales
increased $12.9 or 11.0%, primarily driven by strength in
commercial/aerospace aftermarket products.
Energy
Absorption
Organic sales
decreased $2.0 or 4.8%, primarily reflecting a decline in the
global industrial market.
Operating income
increased $4.3 or 2.3% including contributions from acquisitions
and the benefit from foreign currency exchange translation.
Operating income declined $28.0 or 14.9% on an organic basis
primarily due to costs associated with the planned sale of our
Spa and Whirlpool and European Industrial Distribution business,
higher restructuring expense and production costs, partially
offset by increased sales volume, benefits from productivity
improvements and supply chain initiatives, and lower pension
expense.
Operating margins
decreased 200 basis points to 12.1% during 2008, primarily
reflecting the factors described above.
During 2008, we
received orders of $1,563.3, an increase of $184.3 or 13.4% over
the prior year. This increase was driven by contributions from
acquisitions, including IMC, and the benefit from foreign
currency exchange translation, partially offset by a decline in
organic orders of 3.0%. Order backlog was $417.1 at
December 31, 2008, compared to $440.4 at December 31,
2007.
2007 versus
2006
Sales and revenues
increased $239.6 or 21.9% over the prior year, attributable to
organic sales growth of $111.7 or 10.2%, contributions from
acquisitions, including IMC, of $69.2 and the benefit of foreign
currency exchange translation of $58.7. Significant factors
attributable to the organic sales growth are illustrated in the
table below.
Motion
Technologies
Organic sales
increased $51.1 or 12.6%. This increase were attributable to
higher volumes on new European platforms and existing programs.
Interconnect
Solutions
Organic sales
increased $34.4 or 9.0% due to higher volumes of electronic
components sales, particularly in Asia and the Americas.
Flow
Control
Organic sales
increased $10.2 or 4.5%. This increase was primarily
attributable to higher volumes in the marine, industrial and
beverage markets, partially offset by declines in the bath, spa
and whirlpool markets.
Control
Technologies
Organic sales
increased $15.6 or 18.9%, primarily due to higher sales to
commercial, military and to a lesser extent industrial markets.
Operating income
increased $37.7 or 25.2% for 2007 compared to 2006. Organic
operating income increased $26.9 or 18.0% over the same period.
The year-over-year increase was primarily driven by higher sales
volumes, cost reduction initiatives, and operating efficiencies.
These benefits were partially offset by higher material costs,
unfavorable mix, and higher SG&A expense, including
increased marketing expense,
27
higher compensation
costs and the impact of foreign currency translation.
Operating margin was
14.1% and 13.7% for 2007 and 2006, respectively. The
year-over-year increase primarily reflects the factors discussed
above.
We received orders
of $1,379.0 reflecting an increase of $237.6 or 20.8% over the
prior year period. Order growth was attributable to each
business within the segment, including Motion Technologies,
driven by the previously mentioned new platforms in Europe, and
Control Technologies. Order backlog was $440.4 at
December 31, 2007, compared to $409.3 at December 31,
2006.
Corporate and
Other
Corporate expenses
of $177.3 for the year ended December 31, 2008 increased
$31.7 compared to the same prior year period, primarily
reflecting higher bonus and restructuring costs, as well as
corporate initiatives, including expanded resources and review
procedures in the tax accounting function. Corporate expenses of
$145.6 for 2007 increased $22.0 compared to the prior year,
primarily reflecting higher bonus, stock-based compensation,
pension and post-employment benefits and other
compensation-related expenses.
Restructuring and
Asset Impairment Charges
Fourth Quarter
2008 Restructuring Activities and Asset Impairment
Charges
In response to
current and anticipated market conditions, we accelerated
restructuring activities across our businesses during the fourth
quarter of 2008. These restructuring actions resulted in a net
restructuring charge of $56.3 and related payments of $9.5. We
anticipate an additional $6.2 of restructuring charges will be
incurred and payments of $47.7 will occur during 2009 related to
these actions.

The charges
associated with actions announced during 2008 primarily
represent a reduction of structural costs in all business
segments and the planned closure of a facility in the
Motion & Flow Control business segment and a facility
in the Defense Electronics & Services business
segment. Planned position eliminations total 1,360, including
614 factory workers, 704 office workers and 42 management
employees. The costs associated with the prior years plans
primarily reflect severance and lease cancellation related costs.
Payments of $16.1
were made during 2008 related to actions announced during 2008.
The projected future
savings over a five year horizon from restructuring actions
announced during 2008 are approximately $73 during 2009 (of
which $69 is incremental to savings realized in 2008), and $308
between 2010 and 2013.
2008 Asset
Impairment Charges
During 2008, we
recognized $2.9 of charges related to the impairment of
long-lived assets. During the fourth quarter of 2008, we
recognized an asset impairment charge of $1.8 related to the
write-down of software due to a decision to cancel a project as
a result of an organizational realignment. During the third
quarter of 2008, we recognized an impairment charge of $1.1
related to one of our Motion & Flow Control
businesses, reflecting the reduction of our expected future
earnings for this business.
2007
Restructuring Activities
During 2007, we
recorded a net restructuring charge of $61.1, reflecting costs
of $57.9 related to new actions and $7.4 related to prior year
plans, as well as the reversal of $4.2 of restructuring accruals
that management determined would not be required.

The charges
associated with actions announced during 2007 represent a
reduction of structural costs in all business segments and the
planned closure of four facilities in the Fluid Technology
business segment, one facility in the Motion & Flow
Control business segment and two facilities in the Defense
Electronics & Services business segment. Planned
position eliminations total 729, including 341 factory workers,
345 office workers and 43 management employees. The costs
associated with prior years plans primarily reflect
additional costs related
29
to an adjustment to
the write-off of leased space as well as asset write-offs and
severance costs.
Payments of $26.8
were made during 2007 related to actions announced during 2007.
The projected future
savings over a four-year horizon from restructuring actions
announced during 2007 are approximately $57 during 2009, and
$173 between 2010 and 2012.
2007 Asset
Impairment Charges
During the fourth
quarter of 2007, we recognized $5.0 of charges related to the
impairment of long-lived assets. The impairment was the result
of our determination that two businesses, one within the
Motion & Flow Control business segment and one within
the Fluid Technology business segment, were experiencing lower
than expected financial results, and as a result certain
long-lived assets of those businesses may be impaired. After
revising the earnings forecasts for those businesses to reflect
current business conditions, asset impairment charges of $4.2
and $0.8 were recorded within the Motion & Flow
Control and Fluid Technology business segments, respectively.
2006
Restructuring Activities
During 2006, we
recorded a net restructuring charge of $51.7, reflecting costs
of $52.7 related to new actions and $3.8 related to prior year
plans, as well as the reversal of $4.8 of restructuring accruals
that management determined would not be required.

The charges
associated with actions announced during 2006 represent a
reduction of structural costs in all business segments and the
closure of three facilities in the Fluid Technology business
segment, two in the Motion & Flow Control business
segment and one in the Defense Electronics & Services
business segment. Planned position eliminations total 816,
including 427 factory workers, 360 office workers and
29 management employees. The costs associated with prior
years plans primarily reflect additional severance costs.
Payments of $20.5
were made during 2006 related to actions announced during 2006.
The projected future
savings over a three-year horizon from restructuring actions
announced during 2006 are approximately $49 during 2009, and $97
between 2010 and 2011.
Employee Benefit
Plans
Pension
Expense
We recorded $0.3 of
net periodic pension income in the Consolidated Income Statement
in 2008, compared with net periodic pension cost of $61.7 in
2007. As more fully described in Note 16, Employee
Benefit Plans, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements, the primary drivers behind the decrease in the net
periodic pension cost were the effect of a higher expected
return on plan assets and a decrease in the amortization of
deferred losses.
In 2009, we expect
to incur approximately $40.6 of net periodic pension cost that
will be recorded in the Consolidated Income Statement. The
increase in net periodic pension cost is primarily due to the
effect of an increase in the amortization of deferred losses
partially offset by an increase in the discount rate for the
foreign plans.
Funded Status,
Plan Contributions and Other
During the fourth
quarter of 2008, we recognized a substantial decline in the fair
market value of our employee pension plan assets, contributing
to a pre-tax charge to other comprehensive loss of
$2.1 billion and a decrease of $1.3 billion in
shareholders equity. Further, this decline also
contributed to a reduction in the funded status of our
U.S. Salaried Pension Plan, which represents approximately
78% of out total pension obligation.
At December 31,
2008, the U.S. Salaried Pension Plan had an unfunded
deficit of $1.1 billion. For the balance of our funded
pension plans, including foreign and affiliate plans, the
aggregate funded status decreased by $274.4 resulting in a net
unfunded balance at December 31, 2008 of $222.2. In
addition, we had $359.2 in pension plans where funding is
30
not permitted or, in
foreign environments, where funding is not feasible.
Funding requirements
under IRS rules are a major consideration in making
contributions to our pension plans. With respect to qualified
pension plans, we intend to contribute annually not less than
the minimum required by applicable law and regulations. In 2008,
we contributed $24.1 to pension plans. We currently anticipate
making contributions to pension plans in the range of $20 to $25
during 2009.
The Pension
Protection Act of 2006 (the Pension Act) contains
funding requirements for defined benefit pension plans. The
Pension Act establishes a 100% funding target over 7 years
for plan years beginning after December 31, 2007. No
shortfall amortization payments are required if the pension plan
meets the following targets: 92% funded in 2008; 94% funded in
2009; and 96% funded in 2010. The Worker, Retiree, and Employer
Recovery Act of 2008 (WRERA) was passed in December
2008. WRERA provides (i) the shortfall amortization charge
will be based on the transition percentages (92% in 2008, 94% in
2009, 96% in 2010 and 100% thereafter as opposed to the original
PPA language of 100% of funding target, (ii) clarification
that the averaging method used to value assets is to be adjusted
for expected earnings which results in asset
smoothing, and (iii) relief from the restriction on
benefit accruals in 2009, by allowing a plan sponsor to use the
greater of the Adjusted Funding Target Attainment Percentage
from January 1, 2008 and January 1, 2009.
In 2009, we are not
required to make any mandatory contributions to our
U.S. Salaried Plan to satisfy minimum statutory funding
requirements. Further, assuming that actual plan returns are
consistent with our expected plan return of nine percent in
2009, interest rates remain constant, and there are no
additional changes to U.S. pension funding legislation, we
would not be required to make any mandatory contributions in
2010. We may, however, make voluntary contributions over the
next two years to improve the funded status of our
U.S. Salaried Plan.
Funded status at the
end of 2009, and future required contributions, will depend
primarily on the actual return on assets during the year and the
discount rate at the end of the year. Depending on these
factors, and the resulting funded status of our pension plans,
the level of future contributions could be material.
Recoverable
Pension Costs and Plan Contributions
U.S. Government
Cost Accounting Standards govern the extent to which pension
costs and plan contributions are allocable to and recoverable
under contracts with the U.S. Government. The Defense
Electronics & Services business segment represents
approximately 70% of the active U.S. Salaried Plan
participants. As a result, we have sought and would seek
reimbursement from the Department of Defense for a portion of
our pension costs and plan contributions.

Operating
Activities
Cash provided by
operating activities in 2008 increased $321.5 from the prior
year. This significant increase is partially due to a $235.1
increase in income from continuing operations, excluding
non-cash increases in depreciation and amortization, combined
with a reduction in contributions to the U.S. Salaried
Pension Plan (reflected within the change of other current and
non-current assets). There were no contributions to the
U.S. Salaried Pension Plan made in 2008 as compared to
$50.0 in 2007. Working capital provided a modest increase in
cash from last year as a $123.8 reduction in the use of cash
from accounts receivable, primarily driven by improved cash
collections within the Fluid Technology business segment, was
largely offset by reduced sources of cash of $75.9 from accounts
payable and accrued expenses and $41.4 from inventories. Each of
the business segments contributed to the accounts payable and
accrued expenses impact, led by lower volumes and timing of
payments, while the change in inventories was primarily
attributable to the Defense Electronics & Services
business segment due to the ramp up of CREW units, coupled with
delayed international shipments. Additionally, EDO businesses
were a significant contribution underlying the overall operating
cash flow performance.
Cash provided by
operating activities in 2007 increased $17.4 from the prior
year. This increase is due to a $133.3 increase in income from
continuing operations, combined with a $213.2 improvement in
cash from inventories across all three business segments. These
increases in cash were partially offset by a $175.5 increased
use of cash for accounts receivable mainly due to the Fluid
Technology business segment, reflecting higher volumes overall,
including increased sales in Europe, which have longer payment
terms, and the Defense Electronics & Services business
segment primarily due to higher overall volumes, and the
increase in EDO receivables since the acquisition date. Also,
accounts payable and accrued expenses were a reduced source of
cash totaling $109.2, primarily due to contract reserve
adjustments as well as a payment of $30.0 towards $50.0 in
fines, forfeitures and penalties we agreed to in
31
conjunction with our
settlement with the U.S. Government relating to an Night
Vision Division compliance matter. See Note 19,
Commitments and Contingencies, in the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of the
Night Vision matter. Additionally, accrued and deferred taxes
mitigated the increase in cash by $64.4, primarily related to
increased tax payments of $116.3, partially offset by increased
accrued and deferred tax liabilities.
Investing
Activities
Additions to
Plant, Property and Equipment:
Capital expenditures
during 2008 were $248.7, an increase of $9.4 as compared to
2007. The increase is driven by higher spending of $30.3 in the
Defense Electronics & Services business segment
primarily due to the acquisition of EDO at the end of 2007, an
$18.5 increase in the Motion & Flow Control business
segment as a result of the purchase of a manufacturing facility
in Mexico, combined with timing of investments as compared to
last year. These increases were offset by net reductions of
$39.4 largely reflecting the absence of a prior year cash
payment of $44.8 related to the renewal of the sale leaseback
arrangement for ITTs corporate aircraft whose term expired
in December 2007 (see Note 20, Guarantees,
Indemnities and Warranties, in the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements for further discussion). This was partially
offset by payments related to the leasehold improvements for
ITTs new headquarters that consolidates its corporate
headquarters and the headquarters operations of its Fluid
Technology and Motion & Flow Control business segments.
Capital expenditures
during 2007 were $239.3, an increase of $62.2 from 2006. The
Fluid Technology business segment increased its capital
expenditures by $21.4, largely related to incremental
investments in facilities in Asia and Eastern Europe. Also
reflected in 2007 capital expenditures was a cash payment of
$44.8 related to the renewal of the sale leaseback arrangement
for ITTs corporate aircraft whose term expired in December
2007 (see Note 20, Guarantees, Indemnities and
Warranties, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements for further discussion).
Acquisitions:
2008
Acquisitions
During 2008, we
spent $226.5 related to additional costs for 2007 acquisitions
including, the EDO acquisition within the Defense
Electronics & Services business segment, largely for
repayment of debt acquired. We also spent $49.2 on acquisitions
of several other smaller companies, including two companies in
Motion & Flow Control and two companies in Fluid
Technology, as well as other acquisition-related costs.
2007
Acquisitions
During 2007, we
spent $2,009.2 for the acquisition of six companies. The
acquisitions of EDO for $1,598.7 within our Defense
Electronics & Services business segment and of IMC for
$390.5 within our Motion & Flow Control business
segment comprised most of the total spending. Of the other
acquisitions, one was in the Defense Electronics &
Services business segment and three were in the Fluid Technology
business segment.
2006
Acquisitions
During 2006, we
spent $89.5, primarily for the acquisition of three entities,
one within the Fluid Technology business segment, one in the
Defense Electronics & Services business segment and
one in the Motion & Flow Control business segment.
Proceeds from
Sale of Assets and Businesses:
During 2008, we
completed the sale of the remaining component of the Switches
businesses, for net proceeds of $5.1. In 2007, we had sold the
substantial part of our Switches businesses for net proceeds of
$223.2, with the buyer to acquire the remainder once asset
transfer issues were resolved.
Additionally, as
part of ITTs renewal of its corporate aircraft sale
leaseback, in 2007 we received a cash payment of $50.2 for the
sale of the aircraft to the lessor (see Note 20,
Guarantees, Indemnities and Warranties, in the Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion).
In the first quarter
of 2006, we completed the sale of Fluid Handling Systems and
Richter for net proceeds of $212.5.
Financing
Activities
Short-term
debt:
During 2008, our use
of cash related to short-term debt increased $3,540.9 over the
prior year, reflecting net payments of $1,229.0 in 2008
primarily related to the financing of the EDO acquisition as
compared to net short-term borrowings of $2,311.9 in 2007.
During 2007, our net
short-term borrowings provided a $2,467.5 increased source of
cash as compared to the prior year largely due to debt used to
finance the EDO acquisition.
Share
Repurchases:
In 2008, we spent
$75.0, including commission fees, on the repurchase of common
stock. As of December 31, 2008, we had repurchased
7.1 shares for $430.8, including commission fees, under our
$1 billion share repurchase program.
In 2007, we spent
$299.1, including commission fees, on the repurchase of common
stock. Of this amount, $48.6 relates to 0.9 shares which
were acquired at the end of 2006 and settled in January 2007.
The remaining $250.5 relates to 4.1 shares repurchased in
2007.
32
In December 2006, we
purchased 1.9 shares for $105.3, including commission fees.
Of this activity, 0.9 shares were acquired at the end of
2006 and settled in January 2007 for $48.6. This activity was
part of a $1 billion share repurchase program announced
during the fourth quarter of 2006, which replaces our previous
practice of covering shares granted or exercised in the context
of ITTs performance incentive plans. Additionally, in
2006, we repurchased 2.8 shares for $153.4 to offset the
dilutive effect of exercised stock options and restricted stock
issuances.
Dividends:
In 2008, we made
$120.9 of dividend payments to shareholders, a 25% increase over
2007.
In 2007, we made
$96.6 of dividend payments to shareholders, a 25% increase over
2006.
Discontinued
Operations Operating Activities
During 2008, cash
used in operating activities of discontinued operations declined
$7.1 from the prior year primarily due to a decrease in cash
used by our Switches businesses as a result of the disposition
of substantially all of the businesses during third quarter of
2007.
During 2007, cash
from operating activities of discontinued operations declined
$96.4 due to a use of cash of $16.2 in the current year as
compared to an $80.2 source in the prior year. The primary
driver of the decrease in cash flow was the absence of operating
cash flows from our Switches businesses (sold in the third
quarter of 2007) and our FHS and Richter businesses (sold
in the first quarter of 2006).
Liquidity and
Capital Resources
Our principal source
of liquidity is operating cash flows, and we have demonstrated
the ability to meet our additional funding requirements through
the issuance of commercial paper. Our funding needs are
monitored and strategies are executed to meet overall cash
requirements, including the management of our capital structure
on a short and long-term basis. Significant factors that affect
our overall management of liquidity include the adequacy of
commercial paper and bank lines of credit, and the ability to
attract long-term capital at 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 advantageous to do so.
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 and will continue to transfer cash from those subsidiaries
to U.S. and to other international subsidiaries when it is
cost effective to do so.
We believe that
available cash, committed credit facilities and access to the
public debt markets provide adequate short-term and long-term
liquidity.
Recent declines in
the worldwide debt and equity markets have had an adverse impact
on market participants including, among other things, volatility
in security prices, diminished liquidity, and limited access to
funding. We have assessed the implications of these factors on
our current business and determined that there has not been a
significant impact to our financial position, results of
operations, or liquidity during 2008. If our access to the
commercial paper market is adversely affected, we believe that
alternative sources of liquidity, including available cash and
existing committed credit facilities, would be sufficient to
meet our short-term funding requirements.
Current debt ratios
have positioned us to grow our 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.

Short-term debt,
including current maturities of long-term debt, was $1,679.0 and
$3,083.0 at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Net
debt at December 31, 2008 was $1,182.0 compared to $1,726.0
at December 31, 2007. This decrease primarily reflects the
pay down of debt during 2008, subsequent to our funding for the
acquisition of EDO.
We expect that cash
flows from operations and our access to the commercial paper
market will be sufficient to meet our short-term funding
requirements. We anticipate that cash flows from operations will
be utilized to further decrease our net debt balance during 2009.
Credit
Facilities and Commercial Paper Program
In November 2005,
ITT entered into a five-year revolving credit agreement (the
November 2005 Credit Facility), in the
33
aggregate principal
amount of $1.25 billion. Effective November 8, 2007,
ITT exercised the option to increase the principal amount under
the revolving credit agreement to $1.75 billion. In March
2008, ITT entered into a new
364-day
revolving credit agreement (the March 2008 Credit
Facility), providing an additional $1.0 billion
principal amount of available borrowings. As a result, the
maximum amount of available borrowings under both facilities is
now $2.75 billion.
The provisions of
this agreement require that we maintain a minimum interest
coverage ratio. At December 31, 2008, we were in compliance
with our financial covenants.
Prior to December
2007, borrowing through commercial paper and under the revolving
credit agreements could not exceed $1.25 billion in the
aggregate outstanding. In December 2007 and March 2008, the ITT
Board of Directors approved commercial paper borrowings to
increase up to $1.75 billion and $2.75 billion,
respectively. At December 31, 2008, commercial paper
borrowings were $1,618.7.
The revolving credit
agreements are intended to provide additional liquidity as a
source of funding for 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 March 2008
Credit Facility will expire during the first quarter of 2009. We
believe that funds available to us under the November 2005
Credit Facility are more than sufficient to cover the level of
expected commercial paper borrowings in 2009, and to satisfy any
remaining cash requirements.

Other
long-term obligations include estimated environmental payments.
We estimate, based on historical experience, that we will spend
between $8.0 and $12.0 per year on environmental investigation
and remediation. We are contractually required to spend a
portion of these monies based on existing agreements with
various governmental agencies and other entities. At
December 31, 2008, our best estimate for environmental
liabilities is $135.0. In addition, other long-term obligations
include letters of credit, and payments in connection with our
settlement of compliance issues in the Defense
Electronics & Services business segment.

Off-Balance Sheet
Arrangements
Guarantees &
Indemnities
Since ITTs
incorporation in 1920, we have 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. We do not have a
liability recorded for the historic indemnifications and are not
aware of any claims or other information that would give rise to
material payments under such indemnities.
In December of 2007,
we entered into a sale leaseback type agreement for our
corporate aircraft, with the aircraft leased back under a
five-year operating lease. We have provided, under the lease, a
residual value guarantee to the counterparty in the amount of
$50.2, which is the maximum amount of undiscounted future
payments. We 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 December 31, 2008, the projected fair value
of the aircraft at the end of the lease is estimated to be $2.4
less than the residual value guarantee. Since this estimated
loss does not exceed the $5.4 gain we realized from the sale of
the aircraft, but deferred as a loss contingency for the
residual value guarantee, we have not recorded any additional
accrual in our financial statements.
ITT has a number of
individually immaterial guarantees outstanding at
December 31, 2008, that may be affected by various
conditions and external forces, some of which could require that
payments be made under such guarantees. We do not believe these
payments will have any material adverse impact on the financial
position, results of operations or cash flow on a consolidated
basis in the foreseeable future.
Critical
Accounting Estimates
The preparation of
financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Significant
accounting policies used in the preparation of the Consolidated
Financial Statements are discussed in Note 1, Summary
of Significant Accounting Policies, in the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements. Accounting estimates and
assumptions discussed in this section are those that we consider
most critical to an understanding of our financial statements
because they inherently involve significant judgments and
uncertainties. Actual results in these areas could differ from
managements estimates.
Contingent
Liabilities
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 against the Company relating to environmental
liabilities, product liabilities (including asbestos),
employment and pension matters, government contract issues and
commercial or contractual disputes, sometimes related to
acquisitions or divestitures. Accruals for anticipated
settlements have been established where the outcome of the
matter is probable and can be reasonably estimated. In addition,
accruals for legal fees for various matters have been
established where the fees are probable of payment and can be
reasonably estimated. Based on present information, including
our assessment of the merits of claims, 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 position, results of operations or cash flows, on a
consolidated basis.
However, because of
uncertainties related to these matters, we can only record
accruals based on currently available information. As additional
information becomes available, we reassess the potential
liability related to our pending claims and litigation and may
revise our estimates. Such revisions in the estimates of the
potential liabilities could have a material impact on our
consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash
flows. For a discussion of these contingencies, including
managements judgment applied in the recognition and
measurement of specific liabilities, refer to Note 19,
Commitments and Contingencies, in the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements.
Employee
Benefit Plans
ITT sponsors
numerous employee pension and welfare benefit plans. The
determination of projected benefit obligations and the
recognition of expenses related to pension and other
postretirement obligations are dependent on assumptions used in
calculating these amounts. These assumptions include: discount
rates, expected rates of return on plan assets, rate of future
compensation increases, mortality, termination, health care
inflation trend rates (some of which are disclosed in
Note 16, Employee Benefit Plans, in the Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements) and other factors.

Management develops
each assumption using relevant company experience in conjunction
with market-related data for each individual country in which
such plans exist. All assumptions are reviewed periodically with
third party actuarial consultants and adjusted as necessary.
We determine our
expected return on plan assets assumption by evaluating both
historical returns and estimates of future returns.
Specifically, we analyze the plans actual historical
annual return on assets over the past 10, 15, 20 and
25 years; make estimates of future returns using a Capital
Asset Pricing Model; and evaluate historical broad market
returns over the past 75 years based on our strategic asset
allocation, which is detailed in Note 16, Employee
Benefit Plans, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements.
Based on the
approach described above, we estimate the long-term annual rate
of return on assets for domestic pension plans at 9.0%. For
reference, our actual geometric average annual return on plan
assets for domestic pension plans stood at 9.9%, 11.8%, 12.0%
and 12.4%, for the past 10, 15, 20, and 25 year periods,
respectively.
The chart below
shows actual versus the expected long-term returns for our
domestic pension plans that are utilized in the calculation of
the net periodic benefit cost. See Note 16, Employee
Benefit Plans, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements for more information.

Our weighted average
expected return on plan assets for all pension plans, including
foreign affiliate plans, at December 31, 2008 is 8.9%.
We utilize the
assistance of our plan actuaries in determining the discount
rate assumption. As a service to their clients, the plan
actuaries have developed and published an interest rate yield
curve comprising AAA/AA bonds with maturities between zero and
thirty years. The plan actuaries then discount the annual
benefit cash flows of ITTs pension plan using this yield
curve and develop a single-point discount rate matching the
plans characteristics.
Our weighted average
discount rate for all pension plans, including foreign affiliate
plans, at December 31, 2008, is 6.24%. Also, at
December 31, 2008, we raised the discount rate on our
postretirement welfare plans to 6.25% from 6.0%.
At December 31,
2008, we lowered our expected rate of future compensation
increases for domestic plan participants to 4.0% from 4.5%,
based on recent historical experience and expectations for
future economic conditions.

This
scenario eliminates any amortization of deferred losses, since
the amount subject to amortization must exceed 10 percent
of the greater of the projected benefit obligation or the
market-related value of plan assets.
|
Funded
Status
Funded status is
derived by subtracting the respective year-end values of the
projected benefit obligations from the fair value of plan
assets. ITTs U.S. Salaried Pension Plan represents
approximately 78% of the total pension obligation, and therefore
the funded status of the U.S. Salaried Pension Plan has a
considerable impact on the overall funded status of our pension
plans.
We estimate that
every 25 basis point change in the discount rate impacts
the funded status of the U.S. Salaried
36
Pension Plan by
approximately $110. Similarly, every five percentage point
change in the actual 2009 rate of return on assets impacts the
same plan by approximately $150.
Fair Value of
Plan Assets
Our pension and
welfare benefit plans assets are comprised of a broad
range of investments including domestic and foreign securities,
private equity and fixed income investments, investments in
hedge funds, commodities and cash and cash equivalents. When
available, we have valued our investments based on observable
market inputs.
Observable inputs
are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the
investment based on market data obtained from independent
sources. These include inputs with quoted prices in active
markets, and inputs other than quoted prices in active markets
that are either directly or indirectly observable.
Unobservable inputs
are inputs that reflect the Companys assumptions about the
estimates market participants would use in pricing the
investment, based on the best information available in the
circumstances. To the extent that valuation is based on inputs
that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the
determination of the fair value requires more judgment.
A substantial
portion of our pension and welfare benefit plan assets portfolio
is comprised of hedge fund and private equity investments. The
private equity and a portion of the hedge fund investments do
not have directly observable inputs, and as such, require
significant judgment to determine fair value.
Plan assets are
based on year-end fair market values. Absent the timely
availability of audited year-end financial statements for these
investments, from which we derive our allocable portion of each
investments fair value, management has incorporated its
own judgment and set of assumptions to value the investments as
of year-end.
See Note 16,
Employee Benefit Plans in the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements for further information.
Revenue
Recognition
ITT recognizes
revenue as services are rendered and when title transfers for
products, subject to any special terms and conditions of
specific contracts. For the majority of our product sales, title
transfers when products are shipped. Under certain
circumstances, title passes when products are delivered.
Further, some sales are recognized when the customer picks up
the product. In the Defense Electronics & Services
business segment, certain contracts require the delivery,
installation, testing, certification and customer acceptance
before revenue can be recorded.
The Defense
Electronics & Services business segment and certain
businesses in our Fluid Technology business segment generally
recognize sales and anticipated profits under long-term
fixed-price contracts based on units of delivery, completion of
scheduled performance milestones, or percentage of costs
incurred to total costs. Estimated contract profits are recorded
into earnings in proportion to recorded sales. During the
performance of such contracts, estimated final contract prices
and costs are periodically reviewed and revisions are made as
required. The effect of these revisions to estimates is included
in earnings in the period in which the revisions are made. Sales
under cost-reimbursement contracts are recorded as costs are
incurred and include estimated earned fees or profits calculated
on the basis of the relationship between costs incurred and
total estimated costs. For
time-and-material
contracts, revenue is recognized to the extent of billable rates
times hours incurred plus material and other reimbursable costs
incurred. Anticipated losses on contracts are recorded when
first identified by ITT. Revenue arising from the claims process
is not recognized either as income or as an offset against a
potential loss until it can be reliably estimated and
realization is probable.
Income
Taxes
Deferred tax assets
and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences
between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and
liabilities, applying enacted tax rates that we expect to be in
effect for the year in which we expect the differences will
reverse. Based on the evaluation of available evidence, we
recognize future tax benefits, such as net operating loss
carryfowards, to the extent that we believe it is more likely
than not we will realize these benefits. We periodically assess
the likelihood that we will be able to recover our deferred tax
assets and reflect any changes in our estimates in the valuation
allowance, with a corresponding adjustment to earnings or other
comprehensive income (loss), as appropriate.
In assessing the
need for a valuation allowance, we look to the future reversal
of existing taxable temporary differences, taxable income in
carryback years, the feasibility of tax planning strategies and
estimated future taxable income. The valuation allowance can be
affected by changes to tax laws, changes to statutory tax rates
and changes to future taxable income estimates.
The calculation of
our tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the
application of complex tax regulations in a multitude of
jurisdictions across our global operations. We recognize
potential liabilities and record tax liabilities for anticipated
tax audit issues in the U.S. and other tax jurisdictions
based on our estimate of whether, and to the extent to which,
additional taxes will be due. Furthermore, in accordance with
FIN 48, we recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax
37
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 are measured based on
the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of
being realized upon ultimate settlement.
We adjust these
reserves in light of changing facts and circumstances; however,
due to the complexity of some of these uncertainties, the
ultimate resolution may result in a payment that is materially
different from our current estimate of the tax liabilities. If
our estimate of tax liabilities proves to be less than the
ultimate assessment, an additional charge to expense would
result. If a payment of these amounts ultimately proves to be
less than the recorded amounts, the reversal of the liabilities
would result in tax benefits being recognized in the period when
we determine the liabilities are no longer necessary.
Goodwill and
Other Intangible Assets
We account for
goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles in accordance with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS)
No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
(SFAS 142). SFAS 142 states that
goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are not
amortized, but are instead reviewed for impairment annually (or
more frequently if impairment indicators arise). We conduct our
annual impairment testing on October 1 to determine if we will
be able to recover all or a portion of the carrying value of
goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles.
The application of
the impairment test requires judgment, including the
identification of reporting units, assignments of assets and
liabilities to reporting units and the determination of the fair
value of each reporting unit. Further, the impairment test
involves the use of accounting estimates and assumptions related
to future operating results. Consistent with the requirements of
SFAS 142, the fair values of our reporting units generally
are based on discounted cash flow projections that are believed
to be reasonable under current and forecasted circumstances, the
results of which form the basis for making judgments about
carrying values of the reported net assets of our reporting
units.
We conducted our
annual goodwill impairment test as of October 1, 2008, and
determined that there was no impairment. Subsequently, we
updated our forecast assumptions to reflect declining economic
conditions. As a result, we reassessed goodwill for impairment
for those reporting units significantly affected by changes to
our initial projections. Despite declines in the estimated fair
value for certain reporting units since our annual impairment
test, we concluded that there were no impairments as of the
interim test dates.
We will continue to
closely monitor the 2009 results and projections for these units
and the economic conditions of their product end-markets. Any
significant change in market conditions and estimates or
judgments could give rise to impairment in the period that the
change becomes known.
Other Intangible
Assets
Prior to performing
the goodwill impairment testing process for a reporting unit
under SFAS 142, if there is reason to believe that other
non-goodwill related intangible assets may be impaired, these
other intangible assets must first be tested for impairment
under SFAS 142 or SFAS No. 144, Accounting for
the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,
(SFAS 144). Assets governed by SFAS 144
require a recoverability test for impairment whereby the gross
undiscounted cash flows are determined specific to the asset.
For non-goodwill related indefinite-lived assets, a fair value
determination is made. If the carrying value of the asset
exceeds the fair value, then impairment occurs. The carrying
values of these assets are impaired as necessary to provide the
appropriate carrying value for the goodwill impairment
calculation.
These impairment
tests also involve the use of accounting estimates and
assumptions believed to be reasonable, the results of which form
the basis for our conclusions. Significant changes to these
estimates and assumptions could adversely impact our conclusion
to these impairment tests.
New Accounting
Pronouncements
See Note 2,
New Accounting Pronouncements, in the Notes to the
Consolidated Financial Statements for a complete discussion of
recent accounting pronouncements. There were no new
pronouncements which we expect to have a material impact on our
financial condition and results of operations in future periods.
Forward-Looking
Statements
Certain statements
contained in this document, including within this
Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations (most particularly, material presented
under Executive Summary, 2009 Outlook,
Known Trends and Uncertainties, Restructuring
and Asset Impairment Charges, Employee Benefit
Plans, Liquidity and Capital Resources, and
Critical Accounting Estimates, that are not
historical facts, constitute Forward-Looking
Statements within the meaning of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements, in
general, predict, forecast, indicate or imply future results,
performance or achievements and generally use words so
indicative. Such forward-looking statements involve known and
unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause
the actual results or performance of ITT and its businesses to
be materially
38
different from that
expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such
factors may be described or referred to from time to time in
filings made by ITT with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Included in those factors are the following: general economic
and business conditions; foreign currency exchange rates;
political, social and economic conditions and local regulations
in the countries in which ITT conducts its businesses;
government regulations and compliance therewith; demographic
changes; sales and revenues mix; pricing levels; changes in
sales and revenues to, or the identity of, significant
customers; changes in technology; industry capacity and
production rates; ability of outside third parties to comply
with their commitments; competition; capacity constraints;
availability of raw materials and adequate labor; availability
of appropriate professional expertise; projected savings from
restructuring actions; potential future employee benefit plan
contributions; availability of liquidity sufficient to meet
ITTs needs; the ability to adapt to changes resulting from
acquisitions and divestitures and to affect cost reduction
programs; and various other factors referenced in this
Managements Discussion and Analysis and under the caption
Risk Factors. In some areas, the availability of
energy sources may affect our production processes or customer
demand for our products or services. In addition to these
factors, our business segments may be affected by the more
specific factors referred to below and as included in
Item 1A.
The Defense
Electronics & Services business segment will be
affected by factors including the level of defense funding by
domestic and foreign governments; changes in the portion of the
U.S. Defense budget devoted to products and services of the
types of products we provide; our ability to receive contract
awards; government investigations; government contracts subject
to security and facility clearances; our ability to obtain and
maintain export licenses; our ability to sell to international
markets and our ability to develop and market products and
services for customers outside of traditional markets.
The Fluid Technology
business segment will be affected by factors including broad
economic conditions in markets served; governmental funding
levels; raw material prices; international demand for fluid
management products; the ability to successfully expand into new
geographic markets; weather conditions; and continued demand for
replacement parts and servicing.
The
Motion & Flow Control business segment will be
affected by the cyclical nature of the transportation industry;
economic conditions in its major markets; weather conditions;
production levels of major auto producers; and demand for
replacement parts.
ITT assumes no
obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect
actual results or changes in or additions to the factors
affecting such forward-looking statements.
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE
AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
(In millions,
unless otherwise stated)
MARKET RISK
EXPOSURES
At December 31,
2008, our short-term and long-term debt obligations totaled
$2.1 billion. In addition, our cash and cash equivalents
balances at December 31, 2008 was $964.9. Based on these
positions, and our overall exposure to interest rates, a change
of 61 basis points (equivalent to 10% of ITTs weighted
average short-term interest rates at December 31,
2008) on our cash and marketable securities and on our
floating rate debt obligations would have a $4.4 effect on our
pretax earnings for the year ended December 31, 2008.

Evaluation of
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
|
The Company, with
the participation of various levels of management, including the
CEO and CFO, conducted an evaluation of effectiveness of the
design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures
(as defined in the
Rules 13a-15(e)
and
15d-15(e) of
the Act) as of December 31, 2008.
On the basis of this
review, management, including the CEO and the CFO, concluded
that our disclosure controls and procedures are designed, and
are effective, to give reasonable assurance that the information
required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Act is
assembled, recorded, processed, summarized and reported within
the time periods specified in the SECs forms and reports,
and to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the
reports submitted under the Act is accumulated and communicated
to our management,
39
including our CEO
and CFO, in a manner that allows timely decisions regarding
required disclosure.
In 2002, the Company
established a Disclosure Committee with responsibility for
considering and evaluating the materiality of information and
reviewing disclosure obligations on a timely basis. The
Disclosure Committee meets regularly, reports to the General
Counsel and the CFO and assists the CEO and the CFO in
designing, establishing, reviewing and evaluating the
Companys disclosure controls and procedures.

Managements
Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
|
The Companys
management is responsible for establishing and maintaining
adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in
Rules 13a-15(f)
and
15d-15(f)
under the Act. The Companys internal control over
financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable
assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and
the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America.
Internal control
over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures
that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in
reasonable detail, completely, accurately and fairly reflect the
transactions and dispositions of the Companys assets;
(ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are
recorded as necessary to permit preparation of the financial
statements in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America; (iii) provide
reasonable assurance that Company receipts and expenditures are
made only in accordance with the authorization of management and
the directors of the Company, and (iv) provide reasonable
assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of
unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of assets that
could have a material effect on the consolidated financial
statements. Internal control over financial reporting includes
the controls themselves, monitoring and internal auditing
practices and actions taken to correct deficiencies as
identified.
Management assessed
the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over
financial reporting as of December 31, 2008. Management
based this assessment on criteria for effective internal control
over financial reporting described in Internal
Control Integrated Framework issued by the
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (COSO) of the
Treadway Commission. Managements assessment included an
evaluation of the design of the Companys internal control
over financial reporting and testing of the operational
effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting.
Management reviewed the results of its assessment with the Audit
Committee of our Board of Directors.
Based on this
assessment, management determined that, as of December 31,
2008, the Company maintained effective internal control over
financial reporting.
The Companys
management, including the CEO and the CFO, does not expect that
our internal controls over financial reporting, because of
inherent limitations, will prevent or detect all errors and all
fraud. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to
future periods are subject to the risk that controls may be
inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree
of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Managements
assessment, included herein, should be read in conjunction with
the certifications and the report issued by Deloitte &
Touche LLP (Deloitte & Touche), an
independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in
their report, which appears subsequent to Item 9A(d) in
this Annual Report on
Form 10-K.

|
(c)
|
Remediation of
Prior Year Material Weakness
|
A material weakness
is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal
control over financial reporting, such that there is a
reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the
Companys annual or interim financial statements will not
be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
As discussed in
Item 9A Controls and Procedures
Management Report on Internal Control Over Financial
Reporting in our Annual Report on
Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2007, a material weakness
existed in the Companys internal control over financial
reporting related to income tax accounting. Specifically, the
Company did not maintain adequate processes and a sufficient
number of technically qualified personnel during the year to
facilitate the timely identification of all issues associated
with the Companys income tax closing process.
During 2008, the
Company implemented the following measures to remediate the
material weakness related to financial reporting for income
taxes:
|
|
|
|
n
|
Conducted a
comprehensive evaluation of the income tax department
organizational structure and processes.
|
|
|
n
|
Expanded technical
resources and management in the income tax accounting function,
including the hiring of a Chief Tax Officer and Director of Tax
Operations.
|
|
|
n
|
Enhanced review
procedures for ongoing as well as non-routine complex
transactions in the income tax accounting function.
|
|
|
n
|
Performed a detailed
review of income tax payable accounts to substantiate existing
balances.
|
|
|
n
|
Performed a
comprehensive reconciliation of the differences between the
income tax basis and financial reporting basis of assets and
liabilities to effectively reconcile and substantiate deferred
tax balances.
|
40
|
|
|
|
n
|
Assessed the
existing internal control structure and implemented new
controls, including enhanced reconciliations and analyses of
income tax provisions and formal procedures to reconcile payable
and deferred tax balances.
|
The Company has
tested the effectiveness of the newly implemented controls and
found them to be operating effectively for a sufficient period
of time to reduce to a remote likelihood the possibility of
material misstatement. As a result, management has concluded
that, as of December 31, 2008, the material weakness
described above has been remediated.
|
|
(d)
|
Changes in
Internal Control over Financial Reporting
|
Other than the
remediation of the income tax accounting material weakness
described in Item 9A(c) above, there were no changes during
the fourth quarter that have materially affected, or are
reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys
internal control over financial reporting.

REPORT OF
INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of
Directors and Shareholders of
ITT Corporation
White Plains, New York
We have audited the
internal control over financial reporting of ITT Corporation and
subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31,
2008, based on criteria established in Internal
Control Integrated Framework issued by the
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission. The Companys management is responsible for
maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting
and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control
over financial reporting, included in the accompanying
Managements Report on Internal Control Over Financial
Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the
Companys internal control over financial reporting based
on our audit.
We conducted our
audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards
require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether effective internal control over
financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our
audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control
over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material
weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating
effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk,
and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary
in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
A companys
internal control over financial reporting is a process designed
by, or under the supervision of, the companys principal
executive and principal financial officers, or persons
performing similar functions, and effected by the companys
board of directors, management, and other personnel to provide
reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial
reporting and the preparation of financial statements for
external purposes in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles. A companys internal control over
financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that
(1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in
reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the
transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company;
(2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are
recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial
statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company
are being made only in accordance with authorizations of
management and directors of the company; and (3) provide
reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of
unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the
companys assets that could have a material effect on the
financial statements.
Because of the
inherent limitations of internal control over financial
reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper
management override of controls, material misstatements due to
error or fraud may not be prevented or detected on a timely
basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness
of the internal control over financial reporting to future
periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become
inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree
of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, the
Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal
control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008,
based on the criteria established in Internal
Control Integrated Framework issued by the
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
We have also
audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States) the consolidated
financial statements as of and for the year ended
December 31, 2008, of the Company and our report dated
February 25, 2009 expressed an unqualified opinion on those
financial statements.

REPORT OF
INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of
Directors and Shareholders of
ITT Corporation
White Plains, New York
We have audited the
accompanying consolidated balance sheets of ITT Corporation and
subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31,
2008 and 2007, and the related consolidated statements of
income, comprehensive income, cash flows, and changes in
shareholders equity for each of the three years in the
period ended December 31, 2008. These financial statements
are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial
statements based on our audits.
We conducted our
audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards
require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test
basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such
consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of ITT Corporation and
subsidiaries as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the
results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 2008, in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America.
As discussed in
Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the
Company changed its method of accounting for uncertain income
tax positions in 2007.
As discussed in
Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the
Company changed its method of accounting for defined pension and
other postretirement plans in 2006.
We have also
audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the Companys
internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2008, based on the criteria established in
Internal Control Integrated Framework issued
by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission and our report dated February 25, 2009 expressed
an unqualified opinion on the Companys internal control
over financial reporting.
