COMPANY OVERVIEW

ITT is a diversified manufacturer of highly engineered critical components and customized technology solutions primarily for the transportation, industrial and energy markets. We manufacture components that are integral to the operation of equipment, systems and manufacturing processes in these key markets. Our products enable functionality for applications where reliability and performance are critically important to our customers and the users of their products. We operate through three primary segments: Motion Technologies (MT), Industrial Process (IP), and Connect & Control Technologies (CCT).

MT is a global manufacturer of highly engineered brake pads, shock absorbers and damping technologies for the automotive and rail markets. IP is a global manufacturer of industrial pumps, valves, and monitoring and control systems, and provides aftermarket services for the energy, chemical and petrochemical, pharmaceutical, general industrial, marine, mining, pulp and paper, food and beverage, power generation and biopharmaceutical markets. CCT is a global designer and manufacturer of harsh-environment interconnect solutions and critical energy absorption and flow control components, primarily for the aerospace, defense and industrial markets. For additional segment information, see Segment Information section.

Business Model and Strategy

Our businesses share a common, repeatable operating model centered on our engineering capabilities. Each business applies its technology and engineering expertise to solve our customers' most pressing challenges. Our technological applications foster an ongoing business relationship with our customers which provides us with unique insight into our customers' requirements thus enabling us to develop solutions to better assist our customers achieve their business goals. Our technology and customer intimacy together provide opportunities to capture recurring revenue streams, aftermarket opportunities and content on long-lived platforms from original equipment manufacturers (OEMs).

We create long-term stakeholder value through our four strategic priorities of customer centricity, operational excellence, effective capital deployment, and sustainability and innovation. Our strategy is designed to achieve premier financial performance by combining profitable growth with operational improvements, while keeping our customers at the center of everything we do.

Our operational focus centers on safety, quality, delivery and cost. This is the foundation of the improvements we make in each of our businesses. We are establishing a higher performance culture that goes beyond the factory floor to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of all critical processes in the value chain. These initiatives encompass not only continuous improvement principles, but also leadership, talent and cultural aspects. For additional information, refer to Human Capital Management below.

When value-generating opportunities arise, we seek to expand into new markets and invest in new products that leverage our deep engineering capabilities. We continue to evaluate investments that will enable us to strategically and efficiently deploy capital, including close-to-core acquisitions that have unique and differentiated products, services and technologies. Effective capital deployment, including resource optimization and a disciplined focus on cash flow management, are a major part of how we execute our strategy and continue to deliver strong shareholder returns.

Primary Businesses and Brands

Our brands have a strong international presence across many emerging markets, including China, India, Mexico, Brazil and Saudi Arabia. Below is a list of the key brands in each segment.

Sustainability

Sustainable practices play an essential role in our business and are firmly rooted in how we conduct our operations and in our daily business decisions. Our products, manufacturing processes and innovations reflect our drive to help make our operations and the communities we serve more sustainable. We believe ingraining these priorities into our strategy will drive long-term growth and shareholder value, help our customers meet their sustainability goals and, furthermore, is simply the right thing to do. Our environmental initiatives fall into three categories:

▪Development of innovative products that help enable customers to operate more efficiently, reduce total cost of ownership and produce environmentally friendly technologies and processes;

▪Investment in technologies and processes to reduce CO 2 emissions, waste sent to landfills, water usage and increase our energy supply security through solar installations; and

▪Decrease harmful emissions through our Reduce–Avoid–Offset framework, in which we seek to reduce our carbon footprint and commit to using renewable energy sources.

We are proud of the strides we have made with respect to our sustainability efforts to date and will continue looking for ways to improve upon these efforts to help bring additional value to our employees, customers, communities and businesses. ITT's sustainability results, strategy and initiatives are discussed further in our 2025 SustainabilITTy Update, which can be found on our website at www.itt.com/sustainability. This report is not incorporated by reference and should not be considered part of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Environmental Regulations

We are subject to stringent federal, state, local, and foreign environmental laws and regulations concerning air emissions, water discharges and waste disposal. In the U.S., these include, but are not limited to, the Federal Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act, the Resource, Conservation and Recovery Act, and the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act. We closely monitor our environmental responsibilities, together with trends in environmental laws. As a result of ITT's ongoing compliance and diligence efforts, ITT's environmental liabilities are, for the most part, not associated with current operating facilities (only two of ITT's 26 locations with current environmental obligations are associated with active operating sites). Additionally, ITT continues to reduce the number of ongoing matters.

Separate from our Reduce–Avoid–Offset framework, we have established an internal program to assess compliance with applicable environmental requirements at our facilities. The program is designed to identify problems in a timely manner, correct potential deficiencies and maintain continued regulatory compliance. We also conduct environmental due diligence during mergers and acquisitions.

Environmental laws and regulations are subject to change, and the nature and timing of such changes, if any, is difficult to predict. To minimize our exposure, we have purchased insurance protection against certain environmental risks arising from our business activities. As actual costs incurred at identified sites in future periods may vary from our current estimates given the inherent uncertainties in evaluation of environmental exposures, it is not possible to reasonably predict the outcome of these uncertainties or any resulting impact on our financial statements.

For additional information regarding environmental matters, see "Critical Accounting Estimates" within Item 7, Management's Discussion and Analysis, and Note 19, Commitments and Contingencies, to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
