Net Income
ITT has posted revenues of US$2.8 billion for the second quarter of fiscal 2009, down 9.3% on the previous year, while net income for the period was 8.9% easier at US$201.4 million. The company’s Fluid Technology segment reported second quarter revenue of US$869 million, down 15% overall and 7% organically compared to the prior year. ITT said weak sales in North American commercial and residential water markets were partially offset by strong shipments in the municipal, mining, oil and gas markets. On a geographic basis, relative strength in emerging markets offset slower sales in North America and Europe. Operating income for the segment for the quarter was down to US$112 million with negative impacts from vol-

ume declines, higher employee pension costs and restructuring expenses partially offset by productivity improvements. During the quarter, the segment completed the acquisition of Laing GmbH, a privately held producer of energy-efficient circulator pumps, and also entered into an alliance with Atlas Copco to sell its energyefficient blowers with its aeration and mixer technologies. “While the global economy remains weak, impacting orders in many of our commercial markets, we believe our teams have aggressively positioned the company to weather these uncertain times. This strong leadership is resulting in greater productivity and having a positive impact on income,” Steve Loranger, ITT’s chair, president and CEO, said. ■ www.itt.com
