Fourth-Quarter 2019 Results

Revenue and Orders

The company delivered fourth-quarter revenue of $719 million, a 6 percent increase that included $24 million from the strategic acquisitions of Rheinhütte Pumpen (Rheinhütte) and Matrix Composites (Matrix) and unfavorable foreign exchange of $10 million. Organic revenue (defined as total revenue excluding foreign exchange, acquisitions and divestitures) improved 4 percent, driven by 5 percent growth in transportation, 4 percent growth in industrial, and 1 percent growth in oil and gas. Organic orders, which exclude a 3-point benefit from acquisitions and a 1-point unfavorable impact from foreign exchange, were flat as strength in transportation and pump project awards, was offset by a decline in short-cycle industrial demand.

Segment Operating Income

Segment operating income increased 13 percent to $107 million and generated a margin of 14.9 percent, which included higher acquisition-related costs. Adjusted segment operating income grew 16 percent to $111 million and delivered a 130 basis point improvement in margin to 15.4 percent. The operating income growth was driven by volume leverage and favorable mix, significant benefits from manufacturing and supply chain productivity, cost containment actions and our strategic acquisitions. These gains were partially offset by higher commodity costs, strategic investments, and unfavorable foreign exchange.

Earnings Per Share

Fourth-quarter EPS and Adjusted EPS grew 32 and 21 percent, respectively, primarily due to strong segment operating income growth, a reduction in corporate costs, and lower non-operating expenses. Adjusted EPS of $0.99 cents expanded 26 percent on a constant currency basis.

Full-Year 2019 Results

Revenue

The company delivered 2019 revenue of $2.85 billion, a 4 percent increase that included $54 million of revenue from our strategic acquisitions of Rheinhütte and Matrix and an unfavorable foreign exchange impact of $76 million. Organic revenue increased 4.5 percent, driven by the strength of our diversified portfolio as our industrial businesses grew 8 percent, oil and gas grew 7 percent, and transportation grew 3 percent.

Segment Operating Income

Segment operating income increased 5 percent to $432 million and generated a margin of 15.2 percent, despite higher acquisition-related costs and restructuring charges. Adjusted segment operating income grew 10 percent to $457 million, and adjusted margins expanded 90 basis points to 16.0 percent. The operating income growth was driven by increased volume from strength in pump projects, Friction OEM share gains, and growth in rail, as well as continued manufacturing and supply chain productivity, cost containment actions, and strategic acquisitions. These gains were partially offset by higher commodity costs and tariffs, strategic investments, and unfavorable foreign exchange.

Earnings Per Share

Full-year EPS declined to $3.65, compared to $3.75 in 2018, driven by a prior year gain of $38 million on the sale of a former operating location and a prior year favorable deferred tax valuation adjustment, partially offset by a favorable year-over-year net asbestos benefit of $25 million due to our effective insurance recovery strategies. Adjusted EPS grew 18 percent to $3.81, reflecting strong adjusted segment operating income growth, a reduction in corporate costs, lower interest and non-operating expenses, and a favorable tax rate.

Fourth-Quarter 2019 Business Segment Results

Motion Technologies

  • Total revenue increased 4 percent to $304 million, including a 3-point unfavorable impact from foreign exchange. Organic revenue increased 7 percent, resulting from Friction OEM growth that outpaced the global market by 1,600 basis points2 with significant outperformance in China, Europe, and North America, as well as growth in rail with particular strength in Europe. These improvements were partially offset by weakness in the Wolverine business.
  • Operating income decreased 2 percent to $47 million due to a prior year favorable legal settlement. Adjusted operating income increased 12 percent to $47 million, primarily reflecting volume leverage and favorable mix as well as productivity and supply chain improvements, and savings from restructuring actions, partially offset by higher commodity costs, strategic investments, and unfavorable foreign exchange.

Industrial Process

  • Total revenue increased 11 percent to $255 million, including an 8-point benefit from our strategic acquisition of Rheinhütte and a 1-point unfavorable impact from foreign exchange. Organic revenue increased 4 percent reflecting strong pump project growth of 13 percent, driven by chemical and industrial activity. The short-cycle portion of our business grew 1 percent due to an increase in service activity and baseline pump strength that was partially offset by a decline in industrial valves.
  • Operating income increased 26 percent to $34 million and adjusted operating income increased 32 percent to $36 million, driven by volume, improved project execution, manufacturing and supply chain productivity, savings from restructuring actions, and our Rheinhütte acquisition, which was partially offset by higher commodity costs, strategic investments, and unfavorable foreign exchange.

Connect and Control Technologies

  • Total revenue increased 1 percent to $161 million, including a 3-point benefit from our strategic acquisition of Matrix. Organic revenue decreased 2 percent driven by a 3 percent decline in aerospace and defense due to strong prior year program activity in rotorcraft and defense components, as well as a 3 percent decline in industrial due to weakness in connectors, partially offset by 17 percent growth in oil and gas.
  • Operating income increased 29 percent to $26 million, which included a benefit from a prior year legal accrual of $5 million. Adjusted segment operating income increased 6 percent to $28 million, driven by benefits from manufacturing and supply chain productivity, savings from restructuring actions, and our strategic acquisition of Matrix, partially offset by lower volume and an increase in commodity costs.

2 Based on recognized auto industry data as of February 14, 2020

2020 Guidance

The company’s 2020 operational guidance, excluding the potential first-quarter impacts of the novel coronavirus, is as follows: Flat total revenue with a range of down 2 percent to up 2 percent; Adjusted segment margin expansion of 110 bps with a range of up 70 bps to up 150 bps; and Adjusted EPS of $4.00 per share, with a range of $3.90 to $4.10 per share, representing midpoint growth of 5%.

However, the company’s 2020 guidance, including our current estimate of the potential first-quarter impacts of the novel coronavirus, is now projected as: Total revenue down 1 percent with a range of down 3 percent to up 1 percent; Adjusted segment margin expansion of 80 bps with a range of up 50 bps to up 110 bps; and Adjusted EPS of $3.87 per share, with a wider range of $3.72 to $4.02 per share to reflect the increasing uncertainty from the novel coronavirus.

In addition, the company plans to continue to return capital to shareholders in 2020 by increasing its quarterly dividend, for an eighth straight year, by 15 percent to $0.169 per share.

  • the risk of cybersecurity breaches;
  • changes in laws relating to the use and transfer of personal and other information;
  • failure of portfolio management strategies, including revenue growth and cost-saving initiatives, to meet expectations;
  • changes in environmental laws or regulations, discovery of previously unknown or more extensive contamination, or the failure of a potentially responsible party to perform;
  • failure to comply with the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act or other applicable anti-corruption legislation, export controls and trade sanctions, including recently announced tariffs;
  • risk of product liability claims and litigation; and
  • risk of liabilities from past divestitures and spin-offs.

More information on factors that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from those anticipated is included in our reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 (particularly under the caption “Risk Factors”), our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and in other documents we file from time to time with the SEC.

Key Performance Indicators and Non-GAAP Measures
Management reviews a variety of key performance indicators including revenue, segment operating income and margins, earnings per share, order growth, adjusted free cash flow, and backlog, some of which are non-GAAP. In addition, we consider certain measures to be useful to management and investors when evaluating our operating performance for the periods presented. These measures provide a tool for evaluating our ongoing operations and management of assets from period to period. This information can assist investors in assessing our financial performance and measures our ability to generate capital for deployment among competing strategic alternatives and initiatives, including, but not limited to, acquisitions, dividends, and share repurchases. Some of these metrics, however, are not measures of financial performance under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) and should not be considered a substitute for measures determined in accordance with GAAP. We consider the following non-GAAP measures, which may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies, to be key performance indicators for purposes of our reconciliation tables.
Organic Revenues and Organic Orders are defined as revenue and orders, excluding the impacts of foreign currency fluctuations, acquisitions and divestitures. Divestitures include sales of portions of our business that did not meet the criteria for presentation as a discontinued operation. The period-over-period change resulting from foreign currency fluctuations is estimated using a fixed exchange rate for both the current and prior periods. Management believes that reporting organic revenue and organic orders provides useful information to investors by helping identify underlying trends in our business and facilitating easier comparisons of our revenue performance with prior and future periods and to our peers.
Adjusted Operating Income and Adjusted Segment Operating Income are defined as total operating income and segment operating income, adjusted to exclude special items that include, but are not limited to, asbestos-related impacts, restructuring, realignment, certain acquisition-related impacts, and unusual or infrequent operating items. Special items represent significant charges or credits that impact current results, which management views as unrelated to the Company's ongoing operations and performance. Adjusted Operating Margin, Adjusted Segment Operating Margin, and Adjusted Segment Operating Margin Guidance are defined as adjusted operating income or adjusted segment operating income divided by revenue. We believe these financial measures are useful to investors and other users of our financial statements in evaluating ongoing operating profitability, as well as in evaluating operating perfomance in relation to our competitors.
Adjusted Income from Continuing Operations, Adjusted EPS and Adjusted EPS Guidance are defined as income from continuing operations attributable to ITT Inc. and income from continuing operations attributable to ITT Inc. per diluted share, adjusted to exclude special items that include, but are not limited to, asbestos-related impacts, restructuring, realignment, pension settlement and curtailment impacts, certain acquisition-related impacts, income tax settlements or adjustments, and unusual or infrequent items. Special items represent significant charges or credits, on an after-tax basis, that impact current results which management views as unrelated to the Company's ongoing operations and performance. The after-tax basis of each special item is determined using the jurisdictional tax rate of where the expense or benefit occurred. We believe that adjusted income from continuing operations is useful to investors and other users of our financial statements in evaluating ongoing operating profitability, as well as in evaluating operating performance in relation to our competitors.
Adjusted Free Cash Flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures, adjusted for cash payments for restructuring costs, realignment actions, net asbestos cash flows and other significant items that impact current results which management views as unrelated to the Company's ongoing operations and performance. Due to other financial obligations and commitments, including asbestos, the entire adjusted free cash flow may not be available for discretionary purposes. Adjusted free cash flow conversion is defined as adjusted free cash flow divided by adjusted income from continuing operations. We believe that adjusted free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow conversion provide useful information to investors as it provides insight into the primary cash flow metric used by management to monitor and evaluate cash flows generated by our operations.
Working Capital is defined as the sum of net receivables, net inventory and current contract assets less accounts payable and current contract liabilities. We believe that working capital provides useful information to investors as it provides insight into both a company's operational efficiency and its short-term financial health.
