NOTE 1
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Description of Business
ITT Inc. is a diversified manufacturer of highly engineered critical components and customized technology solutions for the transportation, industrial, and energy markets. Unless the context otherwise indicates, references herein to “ITT,” “the Company,” and such words as “we,” “us,” and “our” include ITT Inc. and its subsidiaries. ITT operates through three reportable segments: Motion Technologies (MT), consisting of friction and shock and vibration equipment; Industrial Process (IP), consisting of industrial flow equipment and services; and Connect & Control Technologies (CCT), consisting of electronic connectors, fluid handling, motion control, composite materials and noise and energy absorption products. Financial information for our segments is presented in Note 3, Segment Information.
Business Combinations and Divestitures
On January 19, 2024, we completed the acquisition of Svanehøj Group A/S (Svanehøj) for a purchase price of $407.6, net of cash acquired. Subsequent to the acquisition, Svanehøj’s results are reported within our IP segment.
On September 12, 2024, we completed the acquisition of kSARIA Parent, Inc. (kSARIA) for a preliminary purchase price of $461.9, net of cash acquired. The final price is subject to a customary working capital adjustment. Subsequent to the acquisition, kSARIA’s results are reported within our CCT segment.
On July 22, 2024, the Company completed the sale of its Wolverine Advanced Materials (Wolverine) business, part of the MT segment prior to the divestiture, to an unrelated third party fora preliminary price of $171. The final price is subject to a customary working capital adjustment. The Company evaluates all disposal transactions to determine whether such disposal qualifies as discontinued operations in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 205-20, Discontinued Operations. We concluded that the divestiture does not qualify as a discontinued operation.
On December 29, 2023, we completed the sale of our Matrix business, an aerospace and defense components manufacturer within our CCT segment, to a third party for total cash proceeds of $1.0.
Refer to Note 18, Acquisitions and Divestitures, for more information.
Basis of Presentation
The unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC and, in the opinion of management, reflect all known adjustments (which consist primarily of normal, recurring accruals, estimates and assumptions) necessary to state fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented. The Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2023, presented herein, has been derived from our audited balance sheet included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K (2023 Annual Report) for the year ended December 31, 2023, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). We consistently applied the accounting policies described in the 2023 Annual Report in preparing these unaudited financial statements. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in our 2023 Annual Report.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates are revised as additional information becomes available. Estimates and assumptions are used for, but not limited to, revenue recognition, unrecognized tax benefits, deferred tax valuation allowances, projected benefit obligations for postretirement plans, accounting for business combinations, goodwill and other intangible asset impairment testing, environmental liabilities and assets, allowance for credit losses, inventory valuation, and assets held for sale. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
ITT’s quarterly financial periods end on the Saturday that is closest to the last day of the calendar quarter, except for the last quarterly period of the fiscal year, which ends on December 31 st. ITT’s third quarter for 2024 and 2023 ended on September 28, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively.
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
NOTE 2
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
From time to time, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) or other standards setting bodies issue new accounting pronouncements. Updates to the FASB's accounting standards are communicated through issuance of an Accounting Standards Update (ASU). The Company considers the applicability and impact of all ASUs on our business and financial results.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. This ASU updates reportable segment disclosure requirements by requiring disclosures of significant reportable segment expenses that are regularly provided to the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) and included within each reported measure of a segment's profit or loss. This ASU also requires disclosure of the title and position of the individual identified as the CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measures of a segment’s profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Adoption of the ASU should be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. We are currently evaluating the impact that this guidance will have on the disclosures within our financial statements, and will adopt this ASU for the year ending December 31, 2024.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. This ASU requires disclosure of specific categories in the rate reconciliation and additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. The amendment also includes other changes to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures, including further disaggregation of income taxes paid for individually significant jurisdictions. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Adoption of this ASU should be applied on a prospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact that this guidance will have on the disclosures within our financial statements, and expect to adopt this ASU for the year ending December 31, 2025.
During 2024, there were no other new accounting standards issued, or that are pending issuance, which are expected to have a material impact on our consolidated condensed financial statements upon adoption.
NOTE 3
SEGMENT INFORMATION

Contract Assets and Liabilities
Contract assets consist of unbilled amounts where revenue recognized exceeds customer billings, net of allowances for credit losses. Contract assets are included in other current assets and other non-current assets in our Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. Contract liabilities consist of advance customer payments and billings in excess of revenue recognized. Contract liabilities are included in accrued liabilities and other non-current liabilities in our Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets.
The following table represents our net contract assets and liabilities.
| As of the Period Ended | September 28,2024 | December 31,2023 |
|---|---|---|
| Current contract assets | $34.4 | $25.8 |
| Non-current contract assets | 1.4 | 1.6 |
| Current contract liabilities(a) | (126.0) | (95.9) |
| Non-current contract liabilities | (4.4) | (4.5) |
| Net contract liabilities | $(94.6) | $(73.0) |
(a)The increase in current contract liabilities from December 31, 2023 to September 28, 2024 was primarily driven by the acquisition of Svanehøj. Refer to Note 18, Acquisitions and Divestitures, for further information.
During the three and nine months ended September 28, 2024, we recognized revenue of $20.0 and $70.1, related to contract liabilities as of December 31, 2023, respectively. The aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to unsatisfied or partially satisfied performance obligations as of September 28, 2024 was $1,661.3. Of this amount, we expect to recognize approximately $640 to $660 of revenue during the remainder of 2024.
NOTE 5
INCOME TAXES
The following table summarizes our income tax expense and effective tax rate (ETR).
| Three Months Ended | Nine Months Ended | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| September 28,2024 | September 30,2023 | September 28,2024 | September 30,2023 | |
| Income tax expense | $37.8 | $29.9 | $103.6 | $80.6 |
| Effective tax rate | 18.9% | 21.1% | 20.8% | 20.0% |
The decrease in the ETR for the three months ended September 28, 2024 was primarily due to a benefit recognized on the sale of our Wolverine business. The increase in the ETR for the nine months ended September 28, 2024 was due to prior year benefits of $16.3 from the valuation allowance reversal on deferred tax assets in Germany and $4.9 from filing an amended 2017 consolidated federal tax return. These benefits were partially offset by a prior year expense of $14.3 relating to an Italian tax audit settlement covering tax years 2016-2022.
In October 2021, more than 135 countries and jurisdictions agreed to participate in a “two-pillar” international tax approach developed by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), which includes establishing a global minimum corporate tax rate of 15 percent. The OECD published Tax Challenges Arising from the Digitalisation of the Economy — Global Anti-Base Erosion Model Rules (Pillar Two) in December 2021 and subsequently issued additional commentary and administrative guidance clarifying several aspects of the model rules. Since the model rules have been released, many countries have enacted Pillar Two-related laws, some of which became effective January 1, 2024, and it is anticipated that many more will follow suit throughout 2024 and 2025. As of September 28, 2024, the Company does not expect Pillar Two taxes to have a significant impact on its 2024 financial statements.
The Company operates in various tax jurisdictions and is subject to examination by tax authorities in these jurisdictions. The Company is currently under examination in several jurisdictions including China, Czechia, Germany, India, Italy, and the U.S. The estimated tax liability calculation for unrecognized tax benefits considers uncertainties in the application of complex tax laws and regulations in various tax jurisdictions. Due to the complexity of some of these uncertainties, the ultimate resolution may result in a payment that is materially different from the current estimate of the unrecognized tax benefit. Over the next 12 months, the net amount of the tax liability for unrecognized tax benefits in foreign and domestic jurisdictions could decrease by approximately $0.5 due to changes in audit status, expiration of statutes of limitations and other events.

Government Assistance (ASU 2021-10)
ASU 2021-10 requires entities to provide information about the nature of transactions, related policies and effect of government grants on an entity’s financial statements. In particular, to qualify for an energy subsidy in Italy, a company must apply for and receive a certificate attesting that the company is an "energy and gas consuming company" (high energy consumption connected to the production cycle). The amount of subsidies granted is calculated based on a percentage of actual consumption, ranging from 25% to 40%. One of our Italian subsidiaries within our MT segment obtained this certificate and was granted energy subsidies from the Italian government beginning in April 2022. This program concluded in the second quarter of 2023. Accordingly, no energy subsidies were granted for the three or nine months ended September 28, 2024, or the three months ended September 30, 2023. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recognized a benefit of $6.3 related to energy subsidies, which we recorded within Costs of revenue in our Consolidated Condensed Statements of Operations. There was no other material government assistance received by the Company or any of our subsidiaries during the periods.

Supply Chain Financing
The Company has supply chain financing (SCF) programs in place under which participating suppliers may elect to obtain payment from an intermediary. The Company confirms the validity of invoices from participating suppliers and agrees to pay the intermediary an amount based on invoice totals. The majority of amounts payable under these programs are due within 90 to 180 days and are considered commercially reasonable. There are no assets pledged as security or other forms of guarantees provided for the committed payments. As of September 28, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were $24.4 and $19.7, respectively, of outstanding amounts payable to suppliers who have elected to participate in these SCF programs. These amounts were recorded within Accounts payable in our Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets.

(a)The associated weighted average interest rates as of September 28, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were 5.12% and 5.61%, respectively. Outstanding commercial paper for both periods had maturity terms less than three months from the date of issuance.
(b)Long-term debt is primarily related to a term loan that the Company entered into in September 2024 in connection with the acquisition of kSARIA. See additional details in section titled, “U.S. Term Loan”, below.
U.S. Term Loan
On September 12, 2024, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the kSARIA Credit Agreement) among the Company, as borrower, each lender from time to time party thereto, and U.S. Bank National Association, as the administrative agent, sole lead arranger and sole bookrunner.
The kSARIA Credit Agreement has a maturity of three years (September 2027) and provides for a term loan of $464, which had been borrowed and was used to finance the Company’s acquisition of kSARIA on September 12, 2024. Debt issuance costs were $0.9 and will be amortized over the term of the debt.
Borrowings under the kSARIA Credit Agreement bear interest at an annual rate equal to, at the Company’s option, either (i) term secured overnight financing rate (Term SOFR) (subject to a 0.10% “credit spread adjustment”) plus a margin ranging from 0.875% to 1.500%, or (ii) an alternate base rate plus a margin ranging from 0.0% to 0.5%, with the applicable margin determined by reference to the Company’s debt ratings set forth in the kSARIA Credit Agreement. The annual interest rate as of September 28, 2024 was 6.26%. The loans under the kSARIA Credit Agreement may be prepaid by the Company at any time, in whole or in part, without penalty or premium, subject to certain conditions.
The kSARIA Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, as well as financial covenants (e.g., leverage ratio), that are similar to those contained in our 2021 Revolving Credit Agreement, as described below. As of September 28, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all covenants.
The following table provides the future maturities related to the outstanding balance as of September 28, 2024.
| 2024 | $— |
| 2025 | — |
| 2026 | — |
| September 2027 | 464.0 |
| Total maturities | $464.0 |
Italian Term Loan
On January 12, 2024, ITT Italia S.r.l. (ITT Italia), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a facility agreement (the ITT Italia Credit Agreement), among the Company, as a guarantor, ITT Italia, as borrower, and BNP Paribas, Italian Branch, as bookrunner, sole underwriter and global coordinator, mandated lead arranger and agent.
The ITT Italia Credit Agreement had an initial maturity of three years (January 2027) and provided for term loan borrowings in an aggregate principal amount of €300 (or $328.9), €275 (or $301.5) of which had been borrowed and were used to finance the Company’s acquisition of Svanehøj, which closed on January 19, 2024.
During the third quarter of 2024, ITT Italia repaid €175, representing the remaining outstanding balance on the ITT Italia Credit Agreement. Year-to-date repayments of the facility agreement totaled €275. Debt issuance costs totaled $1.8, which were fully amortized as of September 28, 2024.
The interest rate per annum on the ITT Italia Credit Agreement was based on the EURIBOR rate for Euros, plus a margin of 1.00%.
The ITT Italia Credit Agreement contained customary affirmative and negative covenants, as well as financial covenants (e.g., leverage ratio), that were similar to those contained in our 2021 Revolving Credit Agreement, as described below. The Company was in compliance with all covenants during the period outstanding.
Revolving Credit Agreement
On August 5, 2021, the Company entered into a revolving credit facility agreement with a syndicate of third party lenders including Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent (the 2021 Revolving Credit Agreement). Upon its effectiveness, this agreement replaced our existing $500 revolving credit facility due November 2022. The 2021 Revolving Credit Agreement matures in August 2026 and provides for an aggregate principal amount of up to $700. The 2021 Revolving Credit Agreement provides for a potential increase of commitments of up to $350 for a possible maximum of $1,050 in aggregate commitments at the request of the Company and with the consent of the institutions providing such increase of commitments.
On May 10, 2023, the Company entered into the First Amendment (the Amendment) to the Company’s 2021 Revolving Credit Agreement. In connection with the phase out of LIBOR as a reference interest rate, the Amendment replaced LIBOR as a benchmark for United States Dollar revolving borrowings with the term SOFR, and replaced LIBOR as a benchmark for Euro swing line borrowings with the Euro overnight short-term rate (ESTR). The Amendment did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated condensed financial statements.
Since the Amendment, the interest rate per annum on the 2021 Revolving Credit Agreement is based on the term SOFR of the currency we borrow in, plus a margin of 1.1%. As of September 28, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had no outstanding borrowings under the 2021 Revolving Credit Agreement. There is a 0.15% fee per annum applicable to the commitments under the 2021 Revolving Credit Agreement. The margin and fees are subject to adjustment should the Company’s credit ratings change.
The 2021 Revolving Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants that, among other things, will limit or restrict our ability to: incur additional debt or issue guarantees; create certain liens; merge or consolidate with another person; sell, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of assets; liquidate or dissolve; and enter into restrictive covenants. Additionally, the 2021 Revolving Credit Agreement requires us not to permit the ratio of consolidated total indebtedness to consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, and other special, extraordinary, unusual, or non-recurring items (adjusted consolidated EBITDA) (leverage ratio) to exceed 3.50 to 1.00, with a qualified acquisition step up immediately following such qualified acquisition of 4.00 to 1.00 for four quarters, 3.75 to 1.00 for two quarters thereafter, and returning to 3.50 to 1.00 thereafter.
As of September 28, 2024, all financial covenants (e.g., leverage ratio) associated with the 2021 Revolving Credit Agreement were within the prescribed thresholds.

This cost is expected to be recognized ratably over a weighted-average period of 1.9 years. Additionally, unrecognized compensation cost related to liability-based awards was $3.9, which is expected to be recognized ratably over a weighted-average period of 2 years.
Year-to-Date 2024 LTIP Activity (Equity-based Awards)
The majority of our LTIP awards are granted during the first quarter of each year and have three-year service periods. The majority of these awards either vest equally each year or at the completion of the three-year service period. During the nine months ended September 28, 2024, we granted the following LTIP awards as provided in the table below:

NOTE 16
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
From time to time, we are involved in litigation, claims, government inquiries, investigations and proceedings, including but not limited to those relating to environmental exposures, intellectual property matters, personal injury claims, product liabilities, regulatory matters, commercial and government contract issues, employment and employee benefit matters, commercial or contractual disputes, and securities matters.
Although the ultimate outcome of any legal matter cannot be predicted with certainty, based on present information, including our assessment of the merits of the particular claim, as well as our current reserves and insurance coverage, we do not expect that such legal proceedings will have any material adverse impact on our financial statements, unless otherwise noted below. However, there can be no assurance that an adverse outcome in any of the proceedings described below will not result in material fines, penalties or damages, changes to the Company's business practices, loss of (or litigation with) customers or a material adverse effect on our financial statements.
Environmental Matters
In the ordinary course of business, we are subject to federal, state, local, and foreign environmental laws and regulations. We are responsible, or are alleged to be responsible, for ongoing environmental investigation and site remediation. These sites are in various stages of investigation or remediation and in many of these proceedings our liability is considered de minimis. We have received notification from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and from similar state and foreign environmental agencies, that a number of sites formerly or currently owned or operated by ITT, and other properties or water supplies that may be or have been impacted from those operations, contain disposed or recycled materials or wastes and require environmental investigation or remediation. These sites include instances where we have been identified as a potentially responsible party under federal and state environmental laws and regulations.
The following table provides a rollforward of our estimated environmental liability.
| For the Nine Months Ended | September 28,2024 | September 30,2023 |
|---|---|---|
| Environmental liability - beginning balance | $56.0 | $57.1 |
| Change in estimates for pre-existing accruals: | ||
| Continuing operations | 0.3 | 0.8 |
| Discontinued operations | 0.3 | — |
| Payments | (2.7) | (2.9) |
| Foreign currency | — | (0.1) |
| Environmental liability - ending balance | $53.9 | $54.9 |
Environmental-related assets, including estimated recoveries from insurance providers and other third parties, were $8.1 and $10.0 as of September 28, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
The following table illustrates the reasonably possible high range of estimated liability and number of active sites.
| As of the Period Ended | September 28,2024 | December 31,2023 |
|---|---|---|
| High-end estimate of environmental liability | $94.7 | $98.2 |
| Number of open environmental sites | 26 | 26 |
As actual costs incurred at identified sites in future periods may vary from our current estimates given the inherent uncertainties in evaluating environmental exposures, management believes it is possible that the outcome of these uncertainties may have a material adverse effect on our financial statements.
NOTE 17
DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company is exposed to various market risks relating to its ongoing business operations. From time to time, we use derivative financial instruments to mitigate our exposure to certain of these risks, including foreign exchange rate fluctuations. By using derivatives, the Company is further exposed to credit risk. Our exposure to credit risk includes the counterparty’s failure to fulfill its financial obligations under the terms of the derivative contract. The Company attempts to minimize its exposure by avoiding concentration risk among its counterparties and by entering into transactions with creditworthy counterparties.
Foreign Currency Derivative Contracts
The Company enters into foreign currency forward or option contracts to mitigate foreign currency risk associated with transacting with international customers, suppliers, and subsidiaries. The notional amounts and fair values of our outstanding foreign currency derivative contracts, which are recorded within Other current assets in our Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets, were as follows:
| As of the Period Ended | September 28,2024 | December 31,2023 |
|---|---|---|
| Notional amount (U.S. dollar equivalent)(a) | $89.5 | $258.4 |
| Fair value of foreign currency derivative contracts(b) | $0.5 | $3.8 |
(a) The higher notional balance as of December 31, 2023 relates to a foreign currency derivative contract related to the purchase price of Svanehøj, which closed in January 2024.
(b)Our foreign currency derivative contracts are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy because these contracts are not actively traded and the valuation inputs are based on market observable data of similar instruments.
Gains or losses arising from changes in fair value of our foreign currency derivative contracts are recorded within General and administrative expenses in our Consolidated Condensed Statements of Operations, and were as follows:
| Three Months Ended | Nine Months Ended | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| September 28,2024 | September 30,2023 | September 28,2024 | September 30,2023 | |
| Loss on foreign currency derivative contracts(a) | $(1.8) | $(1.4) | $(5.2) | $(4.6) |
(a)None of our derivative contracts were designated as hedging instruments under ASC 815 -Derivatives & Hedging.
The cash flow impact upon settlement of our foreign currency derivative contracts is included in operating activities in our Consolidated Condensed Statements of Cash Flows. During the nine months ended September 28, 2024 and September 30, 2023, net cash (outflows)/inflows from foreign currency derivative contracts were $(3.4) and $2.4, respectively.
NOTE 18
ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES
Acquisitions
On September 12, 2024, we completed the acquisition of 100% of the privately held stock of kSARIA for a preliminary purchase price of $461.9, net of cash acquired and including deferred consideration of $4.5 expected to be paid in 2025. The final price is subject to a customary working capital adjustment. kSARIA is a leading manufacturer of mission-critical cable assembly and networking application solutions primarily for the aerospace and defense market. kSARIA is headquartered in New Hampshire, with approximately 1,000 employees across five manufacturing sites in the U.S. and one in Mexico. kSARIA and its acquired subsidiaries generated sales of approximately $175 in 2023. Subsequent to the acquisition, kSARIA’s financial results are reported within our CCT segment.
On January 19, 2024, the Company completed the acquisition of 100% of the privately held stock of Svanehøj for a purchase price of $407.6, net of cash acquired of $28.0. Svanehøj is a Denmark-based supplier of pumps and related aftermarket services with leading positions in cryogenic applications for the marine sector. Svanehøj employs approximately 400 employees and has operations in Denmark, Singapore and France. Svanehøj had sales of approximately $148 in 2023. Subsequent to the acquisition, Svanehøj’s financial results are reported within our IP segment.
The primary areas of the purchase price allocations that are not yet finalized for kSARIA and Svanehøj relate to the valuation of certain tangible and intangible assets, liabilities, income tax, and residual goodwill, which represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and other intangible assets acquired. The Company expects to obtain the information necessary to finalize the fair value of the net assets and liabilities during the measurement periods, not to exceed one year from respective the acquisition dates. Changes to the preliminary estimates of the fair value during the measurement period will be recorded as adjustments to those assets and liabilities with a corresponding adjustment to goodwill in the period they occur.
On May 2, 2023, the Company completed the acquisition of 100% of the privately held stock of Micro-Mode for a purchase price of $79.0, net of cash acquired. Micro-Mode is a specialty designer and manufacturer of high-bandwidth radio frequency (RF) connectors for harsh environment defense and space applications. Micro-Mode has a single manufacturing site near San Diego, California. Subsequent to the acquisition, Micro-Mode’s financial results are reported within our CCT segment. As of September 28, 2024, the allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed was finalized related to our acquisition of Micro-Mode.
The assets acquired and liabilities assumed for kSARIA, Svanehøj and Micro-Mode acquisitions were recorded at fair value and are shown in the table below.
| Allocation of Purchase Price | kSARIA(Preliminary) | Svanehøj (Preliminary) | Micro-Mode (Final) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Receivables | $28.1 | $22.4 | $2.7 |
| Inventory | 50.6 | 39.5 | 5.3 |
| Plant, property and equipment | 5.8 | 19.1 | 6.1 |
| Goodwill(a) | 276.0 | 215.6 | 44.9 |
| Other intangible assets | 166.0 | 212.6 | 28.7 |
| Other assets | 8.9 | 9.0 | 0.2 |
| Accounts payable and accrued liabilities | (27.9) | (28.0) | (2.6) |
| Other liabilities | (42.6) | (52.8) | (6.3) |
| Contract liabilities | (3.0) | (29.8) | — |
| Net assets acquired | $461.9 | $407.6 | $79.0 |
(a)Goodwill acquired with kSARIA is primarily attributable to the complementary nature of its product portfolio to ITT’s existing connectors portfolio. Goodwill related to the acquisition of Svanehøj is primarily attributable to future economic benefits expected from our entrance into the marine sector, our expanded presence in the energy market, and geographic expansion. Goodwill arising from acquisitions is not expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.
Pro forma results of operations have not been presented because the acquisitions were not deemed significant as of the acquisition date.
Divestiture of Wolverine Business
On July 22, 2024, the Company completed the sale of its Wolverine business, part of the MT segment prior to the divestiture, to an unrelated third party for a preliminary price of $171. The final sale price is subject to a customary working capital adjustment. The transaction resulted in a pre-tax gain of $47.8, including an estimated working capital recovery of $17.0. In connection with the divestiture, cumulative translation losses of $3.6 were reclassified out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss and included in the gain on sale. Subsequent to the sale, Wolverine will act as a third-party supplier to the Company’s MT segment.
