DEAR FELLOW
SHAREHOLDER

[MISSING IMAGE: ph_timothypowers-bw.jpg]

TIMOTHY H. POWERS
CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD

April 8, 2025

Dear Fellow Shareholder,

On behalf of the Board of Directors (the “Board”), thank you for your ongoing partnership and investment in ITT. It continues to be my sincere pleasure to serve as your Chairman of the Board. My fellow Board members and ITT leadership are remarkably proud of how all ITTers across the globe worked together diligently to deliver a strong performance in 2024. The company delivered on its commitments, invested both organically and through M&A, and continued to enhance its already best-in-class governance practices. Below, you will find highlights of the ways ITT’s Board and management team have been working on your behalf this past year.

FISCAL 2024 ACCOMPLISHMENTS

ITT delivered another strong performance in 2024, highlighted by 7% organic revenue growth, 80 basis points of adjusted operating margin expansion, 12% adjusted EPS growth, and over $560 million of cash from operations. With total orders growing 10% for the year, ITT built an ending backlog of $1.6 billion, bolstered by the contributions from our 2024 acquisitions, Svanehøj and kSARIA.

These results drove total shareholder return of approximately 21% and outperformances of the S&P 400 Midcap and S&P Capital Goods indices by 690 and 560 basis points, respectively. Additionally, we eclipsed $11.5 billion in market capitalization. All of this is a reflection of the ITT team’s work and commitment.

STRATEGY, INNOVATION AND CAPITAL DEPLOYMENT

One of the many highlights of 2024 was the step-up in capital deployment, enabled by strong cash generation. In total, we deployed $1.2 billion of capital, equivalent to approximately 2.7 times our free cash flow, including more than $860 million toward M&A to power ITT’s portfolio shift towards higher growth and higher margin businesses. With Svanehøj, the company acquired a global specialist for handling

critical liquids in the marine sector and a leader in the clean energy transition that is part of the Industrial Process (IP) segment. In the Connect and Control Technologies (CCT) segment, the company grew our defense portfolio through the addition of kSARIA, a specialty interconnect solutions provider that complements our existing Cannon business. We also increased our dividend by 10% for the third consecutive year and returned over $200 million of capital to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases in 2024.

On the organic side, we invested over $115 million in research and development activities for ground-breaking innovations across the portfolio. Notably, our embedded motor drive (which was recently released to the market), is being deployed in general industrial, pulp and paper, energy and water applications to regulate power in pumps and other rotating equipment for improved efficiency, helping our customers reduce cost and eliminate excess energy usage. We increased capital expenditures by 15% primarily to support share gains in our Friction business, a leading supplier of brake pads for automotive OE customers. A key highlight is that we completed construction of the new high-performance brake pad facility in Termoli, Italy geared toward the market for luxury and sporting vehicles through a multi-year investment of $55 million. The Board and I visited Termoli in October 2024 to see the outstanding progress made in just one year since the initial announcement about the high-performance investment. It is also worth highlighting that the Friction team secured brake pad platform awards even before construction was completed. The facility began production in early 2025, representing another profitable growth opportunity for ITT.

GOVERNANCE

In October 2024, the Board adopted a CEO retention plan that was based first and foremost on the feedback received from our long-term shareholders who recognized Luca’s strong performance and strategic execution since becoming CEO in 2019 and expressed a strong desire to ensure he is retained to continue pursuing such outperformance in the future. The plan was developed by independent Board members with the support of an external compensation consultant and provides incentives for Luca to remain CEO of ITT through at least 2028. We believe the designed combination of equity awards is the right formula to encourage both his retention and further accelerated performance. The board remains fully aligned to Luca’s vision for the company and his strategy for building the ITT of the future. You can read more about the plan components in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section of this Proxy Statement.

The Board also made excellent progress in its board refreshment activities over the last year. In 2024, we added three new directors who bring significant manufacturing and engineering leadership experiences that align to the long-term interests of our shareholders and the strategic direction of ITT. The directors who were elected during 2024 are Ms. Sharon Szafranski (Executive Vice President, Welding Segment, Illinois Tool Works), Mr. Christopher O’Shea (Chief Executive

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Officer, Centrica) and Ms. Maggie Chu (Senior Vice President and Chief Human Resources Officer, Littelfuse, Inc.). It is my pleasure to welcome all three of these talented leaders who will ensure the Board continues to provide ITT with effective oversight for today and well into the future. We have also nominated Douglas DelGrosso in this Proxy Statement as a candidate for election at the 2025 Annual Meeting as the Board continues to attract candidates to ITT’s high-performance Board. Douglas is the former President and Chief Executive Officer of automotive seating manufacturer Adient plc.

ONGOING COMMITMENT TO SUSTAINABILITY

In November 2024, we published our latest Sustainability Report, which demonstrated the progress we made towards the environmental goals we set in 2022. This included a 5% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions as of 2023, putting us roughly halfway towards our 10% emissions reduction target, despite considerably higher production volumes and the impact of acquisitions. Notably, in 2023 we reduced emissions by 20% on an emissions intensity basis compared to 2021, demonstrating more efficient use of power and process optimization. Additionally, we continue to find ways to use cleaner energy in our production processes with new solar installations at 11 sites globally, part of a $25 million commitment towards energy efficiency initiatives we announced in 2023. With the growth in our legacy businesses and our acquisitions, ITT’s revenue from sustainable solutions now represents ~15% of total company revenue. Lastly, as a way to better serve the communities in which we operate, our spend for philanthropic activities increased by 7% vs. prior year and 58% vs. 2021.

You can read more about our commitment to advancing our sustainability initiatives in ITT’s 2024 Sustainability Report, which can be found on our website.

SHAREHOLDER ENGAGEMENT

Finally, this year we continued our extensive shareholder outreach efforts, reaching approximately 70% of shares outstanding in our investor events and meeting with shareholders representing 53% of shares outstanding during our annual fall engagement process. Our conversations covered executive compensation structure, including the CEO retention plan, our recent M&A activities, our corporate governance practices, our progress towards environmental released in 2023 and continued alignment of director skills and expertise with our long-term strategy as part of the Board’s ongoing refreshment process. The feedback we received from these meetings is critical to the Board and the ITT leadership team, and shareholder engagement will continue to be a priority in 2025 and beyond.

We encourage you to review the Proxy Statement and the Annual Report and to vote on the included proposals. Information on how to attend our 2025 Annual Meeting and the business to be conducted is provided in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting and Proxy Statement. Please vote in advance—your vote matters.

Thank you again for your continued support and investment in ITT. It’s an honor to serve as Chairman of the Board of Directors of ITT, and together with the rest of the Board and management, we look forward to hearing from ITT’s shareholders in 2025.

Sincerely,

[MISSING IMAGE: sg_timothypowers-bw.jpg]

				PROXY STATEMENT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY ABOUT ITT
				PROXY STATEMENT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY ABOUT ITT

ABOUT ITT

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 integral to the operation of equipment, systems and manufacturing processes in these key

markets. Our products address harsh environment 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”).

2024 COMPANY SNAPSHOT

■

Approx. $3.6 billion of sales across approx. 125 countries

■

Global presence with 67% of revenue outside the U.S.

■

Approx. 11,700 employees in 39 countries

■

Balanced and diversified portfolio in growing end markets

2024 FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

ITT delivered strong results in 2024. Orders were up 10% in total, with strength in pump projects, connectors and Svanehøj driving an ending backlog of over $1.6 billion. We grew organic revenue 7%, or 11% in total including the addition of our 2024 acquisitions. We expanded operating margin by 250 basis points to 18.6% and adjusted operating margin by 80 basis points to 17.7% or approximately 150 basis points excluding temporary M&A dilution. This allowed us to surpass our previous long-term margin target two years ahead of plan. The profitable top line growth drove adjusted EPS growth of 12%, overcoming unfavorable impacts from temporary acquisition purchase price amortization and the divestiture of the Wolverine Advanced Materials business. On cash flow, we generated over $560 million of net cash from operating activities, resulting in operating cash flow margin of 15% while free cash flow generation was $439 million, representing 12% free cash flow margin. Finally, we began the strategic reshaping of our portfolio with the acquisitions of Svanehøj and kSARIA and the divestiture of Wolverine. The table below provides a summary of our financial performance for 2024 and comparisons to 2023.

SUMMARY OF KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS FOR 2024

Table and the text in this section reflects GAAP figures, other than free cash flow and adjusted operating margin and year-over year changes to organic revenue, adjusted operating income, adjusted EPS and free cash flow. Please refer to Appendix A for the definition of these non-GAAP financial measures, the reasons why we use these measures, and for reconciliations to the most directly comparable measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.

ITT INC. | 2025 PROXY STATEMENT

TABLE OF CONTENTS

				PROXY STATEMENT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 2024 FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

NON-GAAP DISCLOSURES

Organic orders, organic revenue, adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, adjusted EPS and free cash flow are financial measures not prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), which are referred to as non-GAAP financial measures. Please refer to Appendix A for the definition of these non-GAAP financial measures, the reasons why we use these measures and for reconciliations to the most directly comparable measures, calculated in accordance with GAAP.

2024 FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

■

Orders grew 5% organically, leading to an ending backlog of over $1.6 billion. This was driven by growth in all three segments.

■

Revenue grew 7% organically, driven by global original equipment (“OE”) share gains in Motion Technologies’ Friction business, IP growth all short cycle categories, and connectors growth in aerospace and defense.

■

Adjusted operating income increased 16%, driven by higher sales volumes and pricing actions, and shop floor productivity and sourcing savings, partially offset by labor and materials inflation and the loss of income from the sale of Wolverine. Adjusted operating margin increased 80 basis points.

■

Adjusted earnings per share increased 12% driven by higher operating income, including earnings from the acquisitions of Svanehøj and kSARIA, which closed in January and September 2024, respectively, and a 1% share count reduction, partially offset by a higher interest expense related to debt to fund our acquisitions.

CAPITAL DEPLOYMENT

In 2024, we deployed $1.2 billion of capital, equivalent to 2.7 times our free cash flow. We increased capital expenditures by 15% primarily to support share gains. On M&A, we acquired Denmark-based Svanehøj, a leading provider of customized critical liquid and cryogenic pumps for liquefied gas applications for the marine sector, and kSARIA, a leading manufacturer of mission-critical aerospace and defense interconnect solutions, while divesting Wolverine, a manufacturer of high-performance specialty coatings for damping and sealing solutions in the automotive market. These portfolio changes increase our exposure to growing marine, green energy and defense trends, while reducing our automotive exposure to roughly a third of revenues. We also paid out $105 million in dividends to our shareholders and repurchased 800,000 shares of common stock for $105 million. Our dividends declared in 2024 of $1.28 per share represented a 10% increase over the dividends declared per share in 2023.

SHAREHOLDER VALUE CREATION

ITT’s total shareholder return (“TSR”) was 21% in 2024, outperforming the S&P 400 Capital Goods index by 560 basis points, while underperforming the S&P 500 index by 410 basis points. We outperformed both relevant indices over the prior 3-year period.

				PROXY STATEMENT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 2024 SUSTAINABILITY HIGHLIGHTS

2024 SUSTAINABILITY HIGHLIGHTS

In November 2024, we released our most comprehensive Sustainability report to date which details our progress across all of ITT’s key environmental, social and governance metrics and progress towards the emissions reduction targets we set in 2022. We continue to drive sustainability into our operations and daily business practices, and are building a safer, more energy-efficient company. The following updates demonstrate the significant progress we made:

■

Safety remains our top priority and this is reflected in the fact that ITT had 28% fewer recordable incidents in 2024 than in 2023. We ended 2024 with an injury frequency rate of less than 0.4, better than the industry benchmark. We also saw a reduction in our injury severity rate from 2023.

■

Compared to the 2021 baseline year, we reduced Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 5%, on track towards our 10% emissions reduction goal by 2026. On a revenue-weighted intensity basis, we have reduced emissions by 20% compared to 2021 through the increased implementation of renewable energy sources, including the use of solar energy and energy saving processes and efficiencies.

■

In 2023, revenue from electric and emissions-reducing products made up approximately 15% of total revenue (pro forma for the acquisition of Svanehøj and divestiture of Wolverine, both of which closed in 2024). We are focused on supporting the decarbonization and green mobility initiatives of our customers through our products and services.

■

We currently have solar panels installed at 11 ITT sites, as part of our $25 million commitment towards green energy projects to enhance energy security, lower expenses and improve the performance of our operations globally.

■

Fostering long-term relationships with our shareholders remains a key priority for the Board. We have developed a robust engagement program that ensures an active and open, year-round dialogue with shareholders and other stakeholders. The feedback we received from our engagement with shareholders in 2024 was shared with the Board and members of senior management.

Key discussion topics from these conversations included our executive compensation structure, including the CEO retention plan, our recent M&A activities, our corporate governance practices, our progress towards environmental targets released

in 2023 and continued alignment of director skills and expertise with our long-term strategy as part of the Board’s ongoing refreshment process. We conduct follow-up conversations with shareholders each spring to address important annual meeting matters, as needed.

These conversations continue to inform the Board’s actions in various areas, including our executive compensation practices, our strategy and disclosure relating to ESG topics and the Board’s approach to refreshment. These meetings also strengthen ITT’s relationships with our shareholders and reinforce our commitment to be responsive to their feedback.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION HIGHLIGHTS

The Compensation and Human Capital Committee continues to firmly believe in pay-for-performance and has structured the executive compensation program to align our executives’ interests with the long-term interests of our shareholders. The Compensation and Human Capital Committee also regularly incorporates feedback from shareholders when structuring our executive compensation program. It was feedback from our shareholders regarding Mr. Savi’s track record of success and his value to the future execution of our strategic priorities that largely informed the Compensation and Human Capital

Committee’s decision to adopt the CEO Retention Plan. Further details can be found in Compensation Discussion and Analysis—CEO Retention Plan .

Our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and other named executive officers (the “Named Executive Officers” or “NEOs”) have a significant amount of their target pay tied to our Annual Incentive Plan (“AIP”) and long-term incentives (“LTI”), which are at-risk and dependent on ITT’s financial performance and stock price.

Our 2024 financial performance was strong and our results exceeded target for each of the four metrics that drive the AIP, which resulted in a bonus payout for our CEO that was 149% of target and for our other NEOs that averaged 149% of target. Our Performance Share Unit (“PSU”) payout is based on

three-year performance (2022-2024) of ITT’s relative TSR and Return on Invested Capital (“ROIC”). Our three-year ROIC results were slightly below target and our relative TSR results were above the median of our peers, which resulted in a 2022 PSU payout of 123.3% of target.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND RELATED MATTERS

INTRODUCTION

Our robust corporate governance and ethical conduct standards are critical to our ability to maintain full compliance with the laws, rules and regulations that govern our business and report results with accuracy and transparency. We monitor developments in the area of corporate governance, consider the feedback from our shareholders, and review our processes and procedures in light of this input. We also review federal and state laws affecting corporate governance, as well as rules and requirements of the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”). We implement other corporate governance practices we believe are in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. We also understand that corporate governance practices evolve over time, and we seek to maintain practices that provide the right framework for our operations, that are of value to our shareholders and that positively aid in the governance of the Company.

The following sections provide an overview of ITT’s corporate governance structure and processes, including our leadership

structure and certain responsibilities and activities of the Board and its committees.

ITT’s key governance documents, including our Corporate Governance Principles, our Code of Conduct and the charters for the Audit Committee, Compensation and Human Capital Committee and Nominating and Governance Committee, are available on our website at investors.itt.com. We have included our website address here and elsewhere in this Proxy Statement as inactive textual references and do not intend for them to be active links to our website. Our website is not incorporated into or a part of this Proxy Statement. Shareholders may also obtain copies of these documents free of charge by sending a written request to ITT Inc., 100 Washington Boulevard, 6th Floor, Stamford, CT 06902, Attention: Corporate Secretary.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE PRINCIPLES

The Board has adopted Corporate Governance Principles (the “Principles”), as a framework for the operations of the Board and its committees and to guide the Board and ITT’s leadership team in the execution of their respective responsibilities. The Nominating and Governance Committee is responsible for overseeing the Principles. The Nominating and Governance Committee reviews the Principles at least annually and makes recommendations to the Board for updates in response to changing regulatory requirements, issues raised by shareholders or other stakeholders or otherwise as circumstances warrant. The Board may amend, waive, suspend or repeal any of the Principles at any time, with or without public notice, as it determines necessary or appropriate in the exercise of its judgment or fiduciary duties. As noted above, we have posted the Principles on our website at: investors.itt.com. The Principles include the following items concerning the Board which we believe constitute best practices in corporate governance and help promote the efficient and effective operations of the Board:

■

directors must be able to devote the requisite time for preparation and attendance at regularly scheduled Board

and committee meetings, as well as be able to participate in other matters necessary for good corporate governance;

■

non-employee directors are limited to service on four public company boards (including the ITT Board). If the director serves as an active CEO of a public company, the director is limited to service on two public company boards (including the ITT Board) in addition to service on his or her own board;

■

no director may stand for re-election after the year in which they turn 75;

■

the CEO is limited to service on one public company board (in addition to service on the ITT Board);

■

the CEO reports at least annually to the Board on succession planning and management development;

■

the Board evaluates the performance of the CEO and other senior management personnel at least annually; and

■

the Board maintains a process whereby the Board, its committees and its individual directors are subject to annual evaluation and self-assessment.

				CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND RELATED MATTERS OUR BOARD LEADERSHIP STRUCTURE

OUR BOARD LEADERSHIP STRUCTURE

Timothy H. Powers is the independent Chairman of the Board, a position he has held since March 2023, and Luca Savi is our CEO and President. The Board believes that Mr. Powers, who has served on our Board since 2015 and is an industry veteran with deep knowledge of the global manufacturing and engineering sector, is well qualified for the role of Chairman and that the Board operates effectively and efficiently under his leadership. Notwithstanding the separation of these roles since 2011, the Board does not have a formal policy with respect to the separation of the positions of Chairman and CEO and believes the decision on whether or not to separate these functions should be made based on the best interests of the Company and its shareholders at the time. The Board annually reviews its leadership structure, taking into account many factors, including the individuals involved, the culture and performance of the Company, the needs of the business, fulfillment of the duties of the Board, Board succession planning, corporate governance best practices and the best interests of shareholders.

Although the Board may determine to combine the roles of Chairman and CEO in the future, the Board continues to believe

that having separate individuals holding the Chairman and CEO positions is the right leadership structure for the Company. This structure allows our CEO to focus on the operations of our business while allowing our independent Chairman to focus on leading the Board in its responsibilities.

Our Chairman’s responsibilities include:

■

presiding over Board meetings;

■

providing senior management with feedback from executive sessions as appropriate;

■

supervising the self-evaluations of the directors in coordination with the Nominating and Governance Committee;

■

serving as Chairman for our annual meeting of shareholders; and

■

serving as an ex-officio, non-voting member for all Board committees (Mr. Powers also serves as a member of the Audit Committee).

THE BOARD’S ROLE IN LEADERSHIP SUCCESSION PLANNING

The Board is actively engaged in our talent management program. The Compensation and Human Capital Committee oversees the process for succession planning for the CEO and other senior executives and updates the full Board in its executive sessions. The Board holds a formal succession planning and talent review session each year. These sessions include the identification and development of internal candidates and assessment of key capabilities, desired leadership skills, and the ability to influence our business and strategic direction consistent with our core values. As part of the succession planning process, the Board, working through

the Nominating and Governance Committee, also reviews and maintains an emergency succession plan for the position of CEO. Additionally, the Board reviews the succession plans for the ITT leadership team, including the presidents of each of our three business segments.

Directors interact with ITT leaders through Board presentations, discussions and onsite visits to operating facilities, as well as through informal events and interactions throughout the year such as “breakfast with the Board” events, lunches, dinners and planned small group and one-on-one sessions.

BOARD AND COMMITTEE STRUCTURE

BOARD AND COMMITTEE MEETINGS AND MEMBERSHIP

The Board and its committees meet throughout the year on a set schedule and also hold special meetings and act by written consent from time to time as appropriate. Under the Principles, directors are expected to attend all meetings of the Board and all meetings of the committees of which they are members. Members may attend by telephone or video conference, although in-person attendance at regularly scheduled meetings

is strongly encouraged. During the 2024 fiscal year, the Board held 11 meetings and there were 25 committee meetings. All directors attended at least 75% of the aggregate of all meetings of the Board and committees on which they served. It is Company practice that all directors attend our annual meetings. All directors who were on the Board at the time attended our 2024 annual meeting of shareholders.

BOARD AND COMMITTEE ROLES IN OVERSIGHT OF RISK

BOARD

The Board is charged with oversight of the Company’s risk management policies and practices with the objective of ensuring appropriate risk management systems are employed throughout the Company. ITT faces a broad array of risks, including market, operational, strategic, legal, political, international and financial risks. The Board monitors overall corporate performance, the integrity of the Company’s financial controls and the effectiveness of its legal compliance and enterprise risk management programs, risk governance practices and risk mitigation efforts. The Board receives reports from management on risk matters in the context of the Company’s annual strategy session and strategic planning reviews, the annual operating plan, budget reviews and business reports, and other updates provided at Board meetings. Depending on subject matter and time allocation considerations, the Board may choose to maintain direct oversight responsibility for certain material risks or assign oversight to a Board Committee.

Audit
Committee

Compensation and Human Capital Committee

Nominating and Governance Committee

Oversees policies on risk assessment and management, and oversees risks related to the Company’s financial statements, cybersecurity, the financial reporting process, accounting matters and other areas of significant financial risk. Assesses risks related to legal and regulatory matters that may have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Oversees risks related to compensation-related matters, management succession planning, human capital management and corporate culture.

Oversees overall risk management program. Also evaluates risks in connection with the Company’s corporate governance structures and processes and risks related to other primarily non-financial matters (for example, business continuity planning and sustainability).

MANAGEMENT

The Company’s internal audit function has primary oversight responsibilities over risk management and engages with other members of management, including our chief compliance officer, who oversees compliance with Company policies and procedures, to monitor and analyze various risks. On a regular basis, the Board and its committees engage with our senior management, our head of internal audit, our chief compliance officer, and other members of management on risk management as part of broad strategic and operational discussions which encompass interrelated risks, as well as on a risk-by-risk basis. Each Board committee also receives regular reports from management within the relevant expertise of that committee. For example, the Compensation and Human Capital Committee reviews and assesses compensation and incentive program risks to ensure the Company’s compensation programs encourage innovation and balance appropriate business risks and rewards without encouraging risk-taking behaviors that may have a material adverse effect on the Company, and periodically receives a report from management evaluating these risks. The Board and each committee regularly meet in executive sessions and with key management personnel, as well as with outside advisors.

ENTERPRISE RISK MANAGEMENT PROGRAM

Our management team has implemented an enterprise risk management (“ERM”) program designed to work across the organization to identify, assess, monitor, and communicate the Company’s strategic, operational, financial, compliance, legal and reputational risks. The ERM program provides enterprise-wide insight into individual risks and the overall risks that ITT faces and synthesizes this input to create a dynamic register of risks. The business actively manages these risks as part of

standard operating procedure, and not as a separate academic exercise. A Steering Committee, chaired by ITT’s Chief Financial Officer who serves as a liaison to our executive leadership team, leads our ERM program. Risk leaders are assigned to each enterprise risk and are responsible for monitoring the execution of mitigation strategies. ITT’s Nominating and Governance Committee and Audit Committee receive a formal ERM update at least annually; additionally, our full Board receives reports as needed.

				CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND RELATED MATTERS BOARD AND COMMITTEE EVALUATION PROCESS

BOARD AND COMMITTEE EVALUATION PROCESS

The Board believes that self-evaluations of the full Board, the committees and individual directors are important elements of corporate governance and essential to ensuring the effective functioning of our Board. Under the Principles, the Board maintains formal mechanisms to annually assess its performance and that of its committees and individual directors. Annually, our Board evaluates its performance and each committee evaluates its own performance. The Board utilizes various approaches in its self-assessment process depending upon the needs and desires of the Board in different years. At various times, the Board has used written self-assessments, independent third party facilitator interviews, and Board-member led interviews in order to complete the self-assessments.

As part of the Board’s self-assessment process, directors consider various topics related to Board composition, structure, effectiveness, and responsibilities, as well as the overall mix of director experience. Qualifications, attributes and skills. As set forth in its charter, the Nominating and Governance Committee oversees the Board and committee evaluation process. Annually, the Nominating and Governance Committee reviews the process and considers whether to recommend changes for future years. The Board uses the self-assessment results to evaluate and identify skill sets and experiences that align to our long-term strategic and financial direction which is instrumental to our ongoing refreshment process and helps us identify potential director candidates. The Nominating and Governance Committee and full Board also use the results as an input in the annual evaluation of directors for renomination to the Board.

TOPICS CONSIDERED DURING THE BOARD AND COMMITTEE SELF-ASSESSMENTS INCLUDED:

Board and Committee Functionality	Board Effectiveness	Committee Effectiveness
■ Board and committee composition and alignment of director skill sets with strategic priorities of the Company	■ Areas of strength and areas of improvement for greater effectiveness	■ Effectiveness of committee composition, including whether the number and types of committees is adequate
■ Level of involvement and fulfillment of oversight responsibilities	■ Integration of newly appointed directors	■ The composition of directors
■ Board and committee purpose and appropriate key areas of focus	■ Oversight of succession planning for board and management leadership	■ Committee reporting to the full Board
■ Conduct of meetings, including encouragement of and time allocated for candid dialogue	■ Effectiveness of process for risk oversight/management	■ Effectiveness of committee Chairs

The Company’s Corporate Secretary assisted the Chair of our Nominating and Governance Committee with the administration of this year’s Board self-assessment. Each director completed questionnaires which considered various topics related to Board composition, structure, effectiveness and responsibilities, as well as the overall mix of director skills, experience and backgrounds. The summaries were shared with the Board and committee members in an executive session to inform their review and discussion. The Chair of the Nominating and Governance Committee led a discussion of the Board and committee results. The Board has an ongoing dialogue throughout the year regarding the self-assessment observations and suggestions.

In addition to the in-person review of the results of the Board and committee self-assessments, at least once per year our independent Chairman has individual one-on-one discussions with each director to elicit any further information about his/her views on the functioning of the Board and its committees. Our Chairman also held one-on-one discussions with each of

Mr. O’Shea and Ms. Chu after they attended their first Board meetings and at other times, in each case to solicit their feedback and ensure that they were being integrated properly into the Board and the Company. Feedback from all of these discussions is incorporated into the Board’s overall action plan. Examples of changes made in response to the self-assessment process over the last several years include:

■

increased Board exposure both formally and informally to key executives;

■

a focus on increasing industry experience as part of the board refreshment process; and

■

additional reserved time for “Board only” discussions to continue to foster openness and cohesiveness among the Board.

The results of the self-assessment process in 2024 confirmed the Board’s belief that the Board and its committees are currently operating effectively.

CEO Retention Plan . On October 30, 2024, the Compensation and Human Capital Committee, with the full support of our non-executive Board members, adopted a CEO Retention Plan to grant additional Restricted Stock Units to Mr. Luca Savi, our Chief Executive Officer, and to expand his compensation package with the opportunity to receive performance-earned annual retention grants. Encouraged by investors to retain Mr. Savi given his strong performance since becoming our CEO in 2019 and the continued execution of our strategy, the Compensation and Human Capital Committee, with guidance from Pay Governance LLC, our independent compensation consultant, conducted a rigorous process to develop a plan that aligns with shareholder interests and long-term company

performance. The plan aims to retain Mr. Savi through 2028, reflecting shareholder feedback on his contributions and impact and linking his compensation to ITT’s financial and stock price performance.

ESG OVERSIGHT

Our Board, executive leadership and employees are committed to effectively managing ESG topics. We design our governance policies and processes to provide appropriate Board-level oversight of significant ESG issues relevant to ITT. Our ESG governance structure, policies, processes and areas of focus are informed by ESG reporting standards and our proactive engagement with investors, customers and other stakeholders.

Management works closely with the Board to identify relevant ESG risks and opportunities to enhance our bottom line and deliver long-term financial value to our shareholders. The Nominating and Governance Committee has overall oversight responsibility for sustainability and our other ESG initiatives. In addition, each committee has primary responsibility for oversight of other specific aspects of the Company’s ESG initiatives, consistent with their areas of responsibility as reflected in their respective charters and described below.

The Environmental, Safety, Health and Security (“ESH&S”) Council is an internal team of senior executives led by our

Chief Legal Officer that establishes corporate-wide processes and strategies and oversees ESH&S matters across the Company. The ESH&S Council meets monthly and includes, among others, our Chief Legal Officer, our Director of Environmental Affairs and leaders from each of our three business segments.

Our Environmental Task Force is comprised of leaders in our ESH&S Council, finance, research and development and supply chain management, is led by our CFO and meets monthly to discuss green capex initiatives, establish corporate-wide environmental and sustainability goals and identify sustainability-related opportunities across our business segments.

The Board and its committees receive regular reports on ESG-related topics, including an annual review of our environmental liabilities provided to our Audit Committee.

DIRECTOR ORIENTATION AND CONTINUING EDUCATION

Given the ongoing Board refreshment program and the addition of three new directors in 2024, our director onboarding process is an important element of our Board’s overall approach to providing strong oversight. As part of ITT’s director orientation program, new directors participate in one-on-one introductory meetings with members of ITT’s leadership team and other functional leaders. This director orientation familiarizes the directors with our business and strategic plans, significant financial, accounting and risk management issues, human resources matters, our compliance programs and other controls, policies and procedures. The orientation also addresses Board procedures, our Principles and our Board committee charters and provides directors with the opportunity to meet with our officers and other key members of senior management. Finally, in order to provide our new directors with a resource for questions and insight about our business, culture and governance practices, and to foster collegiality on our Board, each new director is informally paired with another director or member of management who can assist the new director in obtaining whatever information they may need.

The Company also endeavors to provide ongoing director education throughout the year. Our annual strategy session,

where senior management presents the strategic plans for each of the businesses and the Company as a whole, is one component of that ongoing education. We aim to periodically hold the annual strategy session at an ITT facility in order to increase the Board’s understanding of the Company’s people, operations, product lines and overall business. For example, in October 2024, we held our annual strategy session at our Motion Technologies Friction plant in Termoli, Italy. Members of our senior management as well as outside advisors and industry experts also present topics throughout the year to the Board in order to increase directors’ understanding of the Company’s business operations, strategies, risks and opportunities.

Directors may also enroll in external continuing education programs at ITT’s expense on topics associated with a director’s service on a public company board in order to provide a forum for them to maintain their insight into leading governance practices, exchange ideas with peers and keep current their skills and understanding of their duties as directors.

BOARD AND GOVERNANCE POLICIES

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION

None of the members of the Compensation and Human Capital Committee during 2024 or as of the date of this Proxy Statement in 2025 has been an officer or employee of the Company and no executive officer of the Company has served

on the compensation committee or board of any company that employed any member of our Compensation and Human Capital Committee or Board.

CODE OF CONDUCT

The Company has adopted the ITT Code of Conduct which was updated in 2022 and applies to all employees (including part-time and temporary workers and contractors), including the CEO, CFO, and Principal Accounting Officer and, where applicable, to its non-management directors. The ITT Code of Conduct is available on our website at www.itt.com/newsroom/ publications/code-of-conduct. We disclose on our website any changes to or waivers from the Code of Conduct for the Company’s CEO, CFO, Principal Accounting Officer, non-management directors and other executive officers. In addition, the Company will disclose within four business days any substantive changes in or waivers of the Code of Conduct granted to our CEO, CFO, and Principal Accounting Officer, or persons performing similar functions. We intend to do this by

posting such information on our website as set forth above rather than by filing a Form 8-K with the SEC.

The Company has established a confidential ethics phone line and website to respond to employees, suppliers, contractors and customers’ questions and reports of ethical concerns. Also, the Audit Committee has established a policy with procedures to receive, retain and treat complaints received by the Company regarding accounting, internal controls or auditing matters and to allow for the confidential, anonymous submission by employees of concerns regarding accounting or auditing matters. ITT does not allow any form of retaliation against anyone who raises a concern in good faith.

POLICIES FOR APPROVING RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Board has adopted a written Related Party Transaction Policy (the “RPT Policy”) that addresses the reporting, review and approval or ratification of transactions with related parties. The RPT Policy covers (but is not limited to) those related party transactions and relationships required to be disclosed under Item 404(a) of the SEC’s Regulation S-K, and applies to each director or executive officer of the Company, any nominee for election as a director of the Company, any security holder who is known to the Company to own of record or beneficially more than 5% of any class of the Company’s voting securities, and any immediate family member of any of the foregoing persons (each, a “Related Party”).

The Company recognizes transactions with Related Parties may involve potential or actual conflicts of interest and pose the risk they may be, or be perceived to have been, based on considerations other than the Company’s best interests. Accordingly, as a general matter, the Company seeks to avoid such transactions. However, the Company recognizes that in some circumstances transactions between Related Parties and the Company may be incidental to the normal course of business, may provide an opportunity that is in the best interests of the Company to pursue, or may not otherwise be inconsistent with the best interests of the Company. In other cases it may be inefficient for the Company to pursue an alternative transaction. The RPT Policy therefore is not designed to prohibit Related Party transactions; rather, it is designed to provide for timely internal reporting of such

transactions and appropriate review, oversight and public disclosure of them. The RPT Policy supplements the provisions of our Code of Conduct concerning potential conflict of interest situations. Under the RPT Policy, an amendment to an arrangement that is considered a Related Party transaction is, unless clearly incidental in nature, considered a separate Related Party transaction.

The RPT Policy provides for the Nominating and Governance Committee to review all Related Party transactions and, wherever possible, to approve such transactions in advance of any such transaction being given effect. In connection with approving or ratifying a Related Party transaction, the Nominating and Governance Committee considers, in light of the relevant facts and circumstances, whether or not the transaction is in, or consistent with, the best interests of the Company, including, as applicable, consideration of the following factors:

■

the position within or relationship of the Related Party with the Company;

■

the materiality of the transaction to the Related Party and the Company, including the dollar value of the transaction, without regard to profit or loss;

■

the business purpose for and reasonableness of the transaction, taken in the context of the alternatives available to the Company for attaining the purposes of the transaction;

ITT INC. | 2025 PROXY STATEMENT

TABLE OF CONTENTS

				CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND RELATED MATTERS BOARD AND GOVERNANCE POLICIES

■

whether the transaction is comparable to a transaction that could be available on an arms-length basis or is on terms the Company offers generally to persons who are not Related Parties;

■

whether the transaction is in the ordinary course of our business and was proposed and considered in the ordinary course of business; and

■

the effect of the transaction on our business and operations, including on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting and system of disclosure controls or procedures,

and any additional conditions or controls (including reporting and review requirements) that should be applied to such transaction.

The RPT Policy provides standing pre-approval for certain types of transactions the Nominating and Governance Committee has determined do not pose a significant risk of conflict of interest, either because a Related Party would not have a material interest in a transaction of that type or due to the nature, size and/or degree of significance to the Company. The Board reevaluates the RPT Policy periodically.

HEDGING AND PLEDGING

Our directors and certain employees (including executive officers) are prohibited from hedging and speculative trading in the Company’s securities, including short sales and leverage transactions such as puts, calls and listed and unlisted options.

We also prohibit our directors and certain employees, including our executive officers, from pledging Company securities as collateral for a loan.

STOCK TRADING AND CONFIDENTIALITY POLICY

ITT has an insider trading policy , the “Stock Trading and Confidentiality Policy,” governing the purchase, sale and other dispositions of ITT’s securities that applies to all personnel of ITT and its subsidiaries, including directors, officers and employees and other covered persons, as well as ITT itself. The Policy prohibits ITT insiders from trading while in possession of material non-public information and certain other transactions,

including short sales, trading in exchange-traded options and certain other derivatives and hedging or pledging ITT securities. ITT believes that its insider trading policy is reasonably designed to promote compliance with insider trading laws, rules and regulations, as well as applicable listing standards. A copy of the policy is filed as Exhibit 19.1 to ITT’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.

DIRECTORS’ QUALIFICATION
AND SELECTION PROCESS

BOARD COMPOSITION AND REFRESHMENT

To ensure effective corporate governance, the Board, with significant support from the Nominating and Governance Committee, thoughtfully and deliberately manages its composition and refreshment process. This includes a thorough evaluation on an ongoing basis of the individual and collective skills, experiences, and attributes of its current directors.

The Board actively seeks directors whose expertise and capabilities support ITT’s long-term strategic and financial aims. Additionally, given the global nature of our operations, the Board is dedicated to ensuring that its members possess a wide range of experience, qualifications, attributes and skills that are needed to effectively oversee our operations.

The Board acts in a timely manner, recognizing the need to move swiftly in order to attract highly sought-after directors with the skills and experience to provide meaningful contributions to the Board. In 2024, the Board made substantial progress in its refreshment process:

■

In January 2024, the Board appointed Sharon Szafranski to the Board and shareholders subsequently elected her to a full term at the 2024 annual shareholder meeting.

■

The Board nominated and shareholders elected Christopher O’Shea to the Board at the 2024 annual shareholder meeting.

■

In October 2024, the Board appointed Maggie Chu to the ITT Board.

The refreshment program has continued in 2025:

■

The Board is nominating Douglas G. DelGrosso as a new director nominee for election at the Annual Meeting.

■

Cheryl L. Shavers is retiring from the ITT Board at the Annual Meeting.

The above steps represent meaningful ongoing advancements in the Board’s refreshment strategy, first announced in 2023, and demonstrates the Board’s continued commitment to ensuring that it is meeting its governance responsibilities and focused on the sustained success of ITT.

The Board intends to continue to proactively manage its composition and refreshment and recognizes the importance of leadership continuity throughout this process. At the start of the Board refreshment process in 2023, the Board granted Mr. DeFosset a two-year waiver of the Company’s director retirement age policy to allow him to serve on the Board until 2026 and oversee the Board refreshment process as Chair of the Nominating and Governance Committee. In anticipation of Mr. Power’s retirement at next year’s 2026 annual meeting of shareholders and the related transition to a new Independent Chair, the Board believes that it would be beneficial to extend Mr. DeFosset’s waiver for one additional year. This waiver will allow Mr. DeFosset to continue to serve on the Board until 2027 should he determine to do so and should the Board determine to renominate next year. The Board believes this waiver will ensure stability in leadership as newer directors continue to learn about ITT and its businesses, and will enable Mr. DeFosset, a longer-tenured director with strong experience in ITT’s industries, its people and its growth strategy, to continue to provide guidance to our newer directors.

BOARD MEMBERSHIP CRITERIA

The Nominating and Governance Committee regularly considers and reviews with the Board the appropriate skills and characteristics for Board members in fulfilling its responsibility to identify and recommend qualified candidates for membership on the Board. As part of the membership criteria for new Board members, the Principles state that individuals who are nominated are expected to have significant accomplishments and recognized business stature and possess a broad range of attributes and experiences such as management skills and business, technological and international experience. The Nominating and Governance Committee’s top priority is therefore ensuring the Board is composed of directors who

bring varied viewpoints and perspectives, exhibit a variety of skills, professional experience and backgrounds, and effectively represent the long-term interests of shareholders.

Criteria for identifying and evaluating candidates for the Board include:

■

personal qualities and characteristics, accomplishments and reputation in the business community;

■

current knowledge and contacts in the Company’s business communities and industries;

ITT INC. | 2025 PROXY STATEMENT

TABLE OF CONTENTS

				DIRECTORS’ QUALIFICATION AND SELECTION PROCESS DIRECTOR NOMINEE SKILLS

■

the fit of the individual’s skills and personality with those of other directors in building a Board that is effective, collegial and responsive;

■

ability and willingness to commit adequate time to Board and committee matters;

■

variety in viewpoints, backgrounds, perspectives and cultural experiences;

■

independence (including independence from the interests of a particular group of shareholders);

■

such other criteria as the Board may from time to time determine relevant.

DIRECTOR NOMINEE SKILLS

Our director nominees possess relevant experience, skills and qualifications which contribute to a well-functioning Board that effectively oversees the Company’s strategy and management. All of our director nominees bring to the Board a balance of executive leadership experience derived from their varied professional backgrounds and areas of expertise that are relevant to ITT. As a group, they have global industrial and financial expertise, leadership and public company board experience, and sound business acumen. In identifying and

evaluating candidates for the Board, the Nominating and Governance Committee considers the overall mix of directors’ skills, experience and backgrounds as a specific factor for nomination. We believe our Board nominees appropriately reflect a variety of experience and skills and of professional, gender, ethnic and personal backgrounds. The Board is committed to maintaining these different facets of variety among its members.

				DIRECTORS’ QUALIFICATION AND SELECTION PROCESS PROCESS FOR IDENTIFYING AND SELECTING NEW BOARD MEMBERS

PROCESS FOR IDENTIFYING AND SELECTING NEW BOARD MEMBERS

The Nominating and Governance Committee identifies director candidates through a variety of sources including independent search firms, personal references and business contacts.

Shareholders who wish to recommend candidates may contact the Nominating and Governance Committee in the manner described in “Corporate Governance and Related Matters— Shareholder Engagement and Communications— Communication with the Board of Directors.” Shareholder nominations must be made according to the procedures required by our By-laws and described in this Proxy Statement under the heading “Information about the Proxy Statement & Voting.” Shareholder recommended candidates and shareholder nominees whose nominations comply with these procedures and who meet the criteria referred to above will be evaluated by the Nominating and Governance Committee in the same manner as other nominees.

A key component to the nomination (and re-nomination) process is the Nominating and Governance Committee’s consideration of the results of the Board’s self-evaluation process. The results generated from this evaluation process include nominee attributes and experiences that will individually

and collectively complement the existing Board, taking into account the Board’s needs for expertise and recognizing that having a Board with a variety of expertise, skills and backgrounds will benefit the Company’s businesses and operations, which are diversified and global in nature.

Prior to recommending nominees for election as directors, the Nominating and Governance Committee, and then the full Board, engages in a deliberative process and considers the criteria discussed in “Board Membership Criteria” above to ensure the nominee will contribute to an effective Board. Biographical information for each director candidate is evaluated and candidates participate in interviews with existing Board members and management. We conduct thorough background checks on each candidate and nominees must meet the requirements of the Company’s By-laws and the Principles.

Balanced and effective Board composition, supplemented by a thoughtful approach to refreshment, is a priority for ITT. The selection of a qualified group of directors with an appropriate mix of skills, experience and attributes is essential to the Board’s successful oversight of our business.

BOARD TENURE

The Board strives to maintain an appropriate balance of tenure and refreshment among directors and acknowledges that these priorities may shift over time. The Board believes there are benefits from the valuable experience and familiarity with the Company and its people and processes that longer-tenured

directors bring, as well as significant benefits from the fresh perspectives and ideas that new directors bring. The average tenure of our director nominees is approximately four years. The Board aims to continue to refresh its membership over time.

DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

The Board, through the Nominating and Governance Committee, conducts an annual review of the independence of its members. With the assistance of legal counsel to the Company, the Nominating and Governance Committee has reviewed the applicable standards for Board and committee member independence, as well as the standards established by the Principles. A summary of the answers to annual questionnaires completed by each of the directors and a report of transactions with director-affiliated entities are also made available to the Nominating and Governance Committee to enable its comprehensive independence review. On the basis of this review, the Nominating and Governance Committee has delivered a report to the full Board, and the Board has made its independence determinations based upon the committee’s report and the supporting information.

Under NYSE listing standards, an independent director must not have any material relationship with the Company, either

directly or as a partner, shareholder or officer of an organization that has a relationship with the Company. The NYSE requirements pertaining to director independence also include a series of objective tests, such as the requirement that the director is not an employee of the Company and has not engaged in various types of business dealings with the Company. The Board also considers whether directors have any relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. The SEC has a separate independence requirement for Audit Committee members that overlays the NYSE requirements. The NYSE also requires directors who serve on compensation committees to satisfy additional independence requirements specific to that service.

The Board has determined that Mr. Savi is not “independent” because of his employment as CEO of the Company. The Board has reviewed all relationships between the Company and

ITT INC. | 2025 PROXY STATEMENT

TABLE OF CONTENTS

				DIRECTORS’ QUALIFICATION AND SELECTION PROCESS DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

each other member of the Board and has affirmatively determined all of the members of the Board other than Mr. Savi are “independent” pursuant to the applicable listing standards of the NYSE. None of these directors were disqualified from “independent” status under the objective tests set forth in the NYSE standards. In assessing independence under the subjective relationships test described above, the Board took into account the criteria for disqualification set forth in the NYSE’s objective tests, and reviewed and discussed additional information provided by each director and the Company with regard to each director’s business and personal activities as they may relate to the Company and its management. The Board considered transactions occurring since the beginning of the Company’s 2022 fiscal year between the Company and entities associated with the directors or members of their immediate families. All identified transactions that appear to relate to the Company and a person or entity with a known connection to a director were presented to the Board for

consideration. The Board also considered in its analysis the Company’s contributions to tax-exempt organizations with respect to each of the non-management directors. Based on the foregoing, as required by the NYSE, the Board made the subjective determination as to each of these directors that no material relationships with the Company exist and no relationships exist which, in the opinion of the Board, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of such director. The Board also determined that the current members of the Audit Committee and of the Compensation and Human Capital Committee meet the applicable SEC and NYSE listing standard independence requirements with respect to membership on such committees. The Company did not make any contributions to any tax exempt organizations in which any non-management director serves as an executive officer within the past three fiscal years where such contributions exceeded the greater of $1 million or 2% of such organization’s consolidated gross revenues.

ITT INC. | 2025 PROXY STATEMENT

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
(PROXY ITEM NO. 1)

ELECTION PROCEDURES

Each director must be elected by a majority of the votes cast by the shareholders represented at the virtual meeting or by proxy at the Annual Meeting. A “majority of the votes cast” means the number of votes cast “for” a director must exceed the number of votes cast “against” that director (with abstentions and broker non-votes not counted as votes cast with respect to that director). In a contested election for directors (an election in which the number of nominees for election as directors is greater than the number of directors to be elected), the vote standard would be a plurality of votes cast.

In accordance with our By-laws and the Principles, the Board will only nominate director candidates who agree to tender an irrevocable resignation promptly following their failure to receive the required vote for re-election in an uncontested election. In addition, the Board will fill director vacancies and new directorships only with candidates who agree to tender the same form of resignation promptly following their appointment to the Board.

If an incumbent director fails to receive the required vote for re-election in an uncontested election and submits his or her resignation to the Chairman of the Board or the Corporate Secretary, then the Nominating and Governance Committee (or the equivalent committee then in existence) shall promptly consider the resignation and all relevant facts and circumstances concerning any vote and the best interests of

the Company and its shareholders. After such consideration, the Nominating and Governance Committee will make a recommendation to the Board regarding whether the resignation should be accepted or rejected, or whether any other action should be taken. The Board will act on the Committee’s recommendation no later than its next regularly scheduled Board meeting (after certification of the shareholder vote) or within 90 days after certification of the shareholder vote, whichever is earlier, and the Board will promptly publicly disclose its decision and the reasons for its decision.

Each nominee elected as a director will continue in office until the earlier of the 2026 annual meeting of shareholders, his or her successor having been duly elected and qualified, or his or her death, resignation or removal.

The 10 nominees for election to the Board in 2025 have agreed to serve if elected, and management has no reason to believe such nominees will be unavailable to serve. In the event any of the nominees is unable or declines to serve as a director at the time of the Annual Meeting, then the persons named as proxies may vote for a substitute nominee chosen by the present Board to fill the vacancy. Alternatively, the Board may reduce the size of the Board. The individuals named as proxies in the proxy card intend to vote your proxy (if you are a shareholder of record) for the election of each of these nominees, unless you indicate otherwise on the proxy card.

2025 DIRECTOR NOMINEES

At the Annual Meeting, shareholders will be asked to elect 10 director nominees to hold office until the 2026 annual meeting of shareholders. Of our 10 director nominees, nine are incumbent directors who are standing for re-election.

We believe our 2025 director nominees evidence our commitment to maintain an appropriate balance of tenure, refreshment, skills and experience on the Board. Of the 10 nominees for election at the Annual Meeting, four are female,

one is racially or ethnically diverse and two are citizens of a non-U.S. country. As discussed in detail in our nominees’ biographies, the nominees come from varied professional backgrounds and industries, including manufacturing, finance, energy and technology. Each of our 2025 director nominees was recommended for election by the Nominating and Governance Committee, and such recommendation was approved unanimously by the Board.

RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF THE INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
(PROXY ITEM NO. 2)

The Audit Committee is directly responsible for the appointment, compensation, retention and oversight of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. To execute this responsibility, the Audit Committee engages in a comprehensive annual evaluation of the independent registered public accounting firm’s qualifications, performance and independence and considers whether the independent registered public accounting firm should be rotated and the potential impact of selecting a different independent registered public accounting firm.

The Audit Committee has selected, and the Board has ratified the selection of, Deloitte & Touche LLP (“Deloitte”) to serve as our independent registered public accounting firm for 2025. Deloitte has served as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm since 2002. In accordance with SEC rules and Deloitte policies, audit partners are subject to rotation requirements that limit the number of consecutive years an individual partner may provide service to our Company. For lead partners and engagement quality review partners, the maximum number of consecutive years of service in that capacity is five years. The process for selection of the Company’s lead audit partner pursuant to this rotation policy

involves a meeting between the Chair of the Audit Committee and the candidate for the role, as well as discussion by the full committee and with management.

The Audit Committee and full Board believe the continued retention of Deloitte as our independent registered public accounting firm is in the best interest of the Company and our shareholders, and we are asking our shareholders to ratify the selection of Deloitte as our independent registered public accounting firm for 2025. Although ratification is not required by our By-laws or otherwise, the Board is submitting the selection of Deloitte to our shareholders for ratification because we value our shareholders’ views on the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm and as a matter of good corporate practice. In the event our shareholders fail to ratify the selection, it will be considered a recommendation to the Board and the Audit Committee to consider the selection of a different firm. In addition, even if shareholders ratify the selection of Deloitte, the Audit Committee may in its discretion select a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if it determines such a change would be in the best interests of the Company and our shareholders.

Deloitte is a registered public accounting firm regulated by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (the “PCAOB”). Representatives of Deloitte attended all regularly scheduled meetings of the Audit Committee during 2024. The Audit Committee discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm all communications required by auditing standards of the PCAOB. In addition, the committee discussed with the registered public accounting firm its independence from the Company and its management, the scope of Deloitte’s audit, the Company’s critical accounting estimates, significant accounting policies and the critical audit matters addressed during the audit. The Audit Committee annually reviews and considers Deloitte’s performance of the Company’s audit, including the following performance factors:
■ independence	■ leadership	■ compliance and ethics program
■ experience	■ non-audit services	■ industry insight
■ technical capabilities	■ management structure	■ financial strength
■ client service assessment	■ peer review program	■ appropriateness of fees charged
■ responsiveness	■ commitment to quality report

The Audit Committee also reviewed the terms and conditions of Deloitte’s engagement letter including an agreement between the Company and Deloitte to submit disputes between Deloitte and the Company to a dispute resolution process.

The Audit Committee discussed the engagement letter, as well as Deloitte’s fees and services with Deloitte and Company management. The Audit Committee also determined any

non-audit services (services other than those described in the annual audit services engagement letter) provided by Deloitte were permitted under the rules and regulations concerning auditor independence promulgated by the SEC and rules promulgated by the PCAOB. Representatives of Deloitte will be present at the Annual Meeting to answer questions. Representatives of Deloitte also will have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so.

INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM FEES

Audit-Related Fees (2)			123			99

All Other Fees			6			—
TOTAL		$	5,108		$	4,628

Fees for audit services in 2024 and 2023 consisted of:

•

audit of the Company’s annual financial statements and internal control over financial reporting;

•

reviews of the Company’s quarterly financial statements;

•

statutory and regulatory audits, consents and other services related to SEC matters; and

•

financial accounting and reporting consultations.

(2)

Fees for audit-related services in 2024 and 2023 consisted of miscellaneous attest services.

(3)

Fees for tax services in 2024 and 2023 consisted of tax compliance and tax planning and advice:

federal, foreign, state and local income tax return assistance;

Internal Revenue Code and foreign tax code technical consultations; and

transfer pricing analyses.

•

tax planning services are services and advice rendered with respect to proposed transactions or services to analyze an anticipated tax result. Such services consisted primarily of tax advice related to intra-group restructuring.

PRE-APPROVAL OF AUDIT AND NON-AUDIT SERVICES

The Audit Committee pre-approves audit services provided by Deloitte. The Audit Committee has a policy on pre-approval of permitted non-audit services provided by Deloitte. The purpose of the policy is to identify thresholds for services, project amounts and circumstances where Deloitte may perform permitted non-audit services. Review and approval by the Audit Committee is required when such permitted non-audit services, project amounts or circumstances exceed the specified amounts.

The Audit Committee has determined that, where practical, all permitted non-audit services shall first be placed for competitive bid prior to selection of a service provider. Management may select the party deemed best suited for the particular engagement, which may or may not be Deloitte. The policy is reviewed and reaffirmed on a regular basis to assure conformance with applicable rules.

The Audit Committee has approved specific categories of audit, audit-related, tax and services incremental to the normal

auditing services, which Deloitte may provide without further Audit Committee pre-approval. These categories include, among others, the following:

Due diligence, purchase price dispute support and other services related to mergers, acquisitions and divestitures;

Employee benefit advisory services, independent audits and preparation of tax returns for the Company’s defined contribution, defined benefit and health and welfare benefit plans, preparation of the associated tax returns;

Tax compliance and certain tax planning and advice work; and

Accounting consultations and support related to financial reporting or disclosure matters.

The Audit Committee has also approved specific categories of audit-related services, including the assessment and review of internal controls, which outside internal audit service providers may provide without further approval.

If fees for any pre-approved non-audit services provided by either Deloitte or any outside internal audit service provider exceed a pre-determined threshold during any calendar year,

any additional proposed non-audit services provided by that service provider must be submitted for approval by the Audit Committee. Other audit, audit-related and tax services that have not been pre-approved are subject to specific prior approval. The Audit Committee reviews the fees paid or committed to Deloitte during regularly scheduled meetings and at other times as necessary.

The Company has policies and procedures in place prohibiting, in some cases, employment of former Deloitte employees who were members of the audit engagement team.

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT

ROLE OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE

The Audit Committee of the Board provides oversight on matters relating to the Company’s financial reporting process and ensures the Company develops and maintains adequate financial controls and procedures, and monitors compliance with these processes. This includes responsibility for, among other things:

■

determination of qualifications and independence of Deloitte, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm;

■

■

review of financial reports and other financial information provided by the Company, its systems of internal accounting and financial controls, and the annual independent audit of the Company’s financial statements;

■

review of the Company’s policies with respect to risk assessment, risk management and the Company’s major financial risk exposures;

■

monitoring all elements of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting; and

■

adoption of and monitoring the implementation and compliance with the Company’s Non-Audit Services Policy.

The Audit Committee also has oversight responsibility for confirming the scope and monitoring the progress and results of internal audits conducted by the Company’s internal auditor. The Audit Committee discussed with the Company’s internal auditors and Deloitte the plans for their respective audits. The Audit Committee met with the internal auditors and Deloitte, with and without management present, and discussed the results of their examinations, their evaluation of the Company’s internal controls, and the Company’s financial reporting.

The Company’s management has primary responsibility for the financial statements, including the Company’s system of disclosure and internal controls. The Audit Committee may investigate any matter brought to its attention. In that regard, the Audit Committee has full access to all books, records, facilities and personnel of the Company, and the Audit Committee may retain outside counsel, auditors or other independent experts to assist the Committee in performing its responsibilities. Any individual may also bring matters to the Audit Committee by following the procedures set forth in this Proxy Statement under the heading “Corporate Governance and Related Matters—Shareholder Engagement and Communications—Communication with the Board of Directors.”

AUDIT COMMITTEE CHARTER

The Board has adopted a written charter for the Audit Committee, which the Board and the Audit Committee review and at least annually update and reaffirm. The charter sets out

the purpose, membership and organization, and key responsibilities of the Audit Committee.

REGULAR REVIEW OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

During 2024, the Audit Committee reviewed and discussed the Company’s audited financial statements with management. The Audit Committee, management and Deloitte reviewed and discussed the Company’s unaudited financial statements

before the release of each quarter’s earnings report and filing on Form 10-Q, and the Company’s audited financial statements before the annual earnings release and filing on Form 10-K.

COMMUNICATIONS WITH DELOITTE

The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed with management and Deloitte the matters required to be discussed under the standards of the PCAOB. These discussions included Deloitte’s responsibilities under generally accepted auditing standards in the United States, the scope of Deloitte’s audit,

significant accounting policies and management judgments, the quality of the Company’s accounting principles and accounting estimates, new accounting guidance and any critical matters addressed during the audit. The Audit Committee met privately with Deloitte nine times during 2024.

NON-BINDING ADVISORY VOTE TO APPROVE EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
(PROXY ITEM NO. 3)

In accordance with the requirements of Section 14A of the Exchange Act and the related rules of the SEC, we are including in these proxy materials a separate resolution subject to shareholder vote to approve, in a non-binding vote, the compensation of our Named Executive Officers as defined by the SEC in Item 402 of Regulation S-K as disclosed later in this Proxy Statement in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis. The following resolution will be submitted for a shareholder vote at the Annual Meeting:

“RESOLVED, that the shareholders of ITT Inc. (the “Company”) approve, on a non-binding advisory basis, the compensation of the Company’s Named Executive Officers, as disclosed in the Company’s Proxy Statement for the 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders pursuant to Item 402 of the Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-K, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the compensation tables and narrative disclosures.”

In considering their vote, shareholders may wish to review with care the information on the Company’s compensation policies and decisions regarding the NEOs presented in this Proxy Statement in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis.

In particular, shareholders should note the Company’s Compensation and Human Capital Committee bases its executive compensation decisions on the following:

■

alignment of executive and shareholder interests by providing incentives linked to the performance of certain financial metrics;

■

feedback received from shareholders through the Company’s shareholder engagement program to ensure executive compensation reflects investor perspectives and priorities;

■

the ability for executives to achieve long-term shareholder value creation without undue business risk;

■

creating a clear link between an executive’s individual contribution and performance and his or her compensation;

■

the extremely competitive nature of the industries in which we operate and our need to attract and retain the most creative and talented industry leaders; and

■

comparability to the practices of peers in the industries in which we operate and other comparable companies generally.

The vote on this resolution is not intended to address any specific element of compensation; rather, the vote relates to the compensation of our NEOs, as described in this Proxy Statement in accordance with the SEC’s compensation disclosure rules.

The Board values the opinions of the Company’s shareholders as expressed through their votes and other communications. This vote is advisory in nature and non-binding; however, the Board will review and consider the shareholder vote when determining executive compensation. Although SEC rules require ITT to submit to shareholders a non-binding shareholder advisory vote to approve the compensation of ITT’s executives only every three years, we believe the “say-on-pay” advisory vote should occur annually as a corporate governance best practice, and our shareholders agreed pursuant to a non-binding vote in 2023. Therefore, we currently conduct non-binding advisory votes on executive compensation on an annual basis. At the 2024 annual meeting of shareholders, 97.9% of the votes cast favored our “Say on Pay” proposal.

		RECOMMENDATION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
					THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR THE ADVISORY RESOLUTION APPROVING THE COMPENSATION OF THE COMPANY’S NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AS DESCRIBED IN THIS PROXY STATEMENT. UNLESS A CONTRARY CHOICE IS SPECIFIED, PROXIES SOLICITED BY THE BOARD WILL BE VOTED FOR THIS MANAGEMENT PROPOSAL.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT AND FINANCIAL RESULTS

ITT delivered strong results in 2024. Orders were up 10% in total, with strength in pump projects, connectors and Svanehøj driving an ending backlog of over $1.6 billion. We grew organic revenue 7%, or 11% in total including the addition of our 2024 acquisitions. We expanded operating margin by 250 basis points to 18.6% and adjusted operating margin by 80 basis points to 17.7% or approximately 150 basis points excluding temporary M&A dilution. This allowed us to surpass our previous long-term margin target two years ahead of plan. The profitable top line growth drove adjusted EPS growth of 12%, overcoming unfavorable impacts from temporary acquisition purchase price amortization and the divestiture of our Wolverine Advanced Materials business. On cash flow, we generated over $550 million of net cash from operating activities, resulting in operating cash flow margin of 15% while free cash flow generation was $439 million, representing 12% free cash flow margin. Finally, we began the strategic reshaping of our portfolio with the acquisitions of Svanehøj and kSARIA and the divestiture of Wolverine. The table below provides a summary of our financial performance for 2024 and comparisons to 2023.

Table and the text in this section reflects GAAP figures, other than free cash flow, free cash flow margin and adjusted operating margin and year-over year changes to organic revenue, adjusted operating income, adjusted EPS and free cash flow.

OUR COMMITMENT TO PAY FOR PERFORMANCE ALIGNMENT

We have designed our compensation programs to align the pay of our senior executives with both our short-term and long-term financial results and the performance of our stock. The majority of pay for our CEO and other NEOs is “at risk,” meaning it is directly impacted by our financial results and stock price performance.

ALIGNMENT OF OUR 2024 INCENTIVE PLANS TO BUSINESS RESULTS

Our business strategy drives the design and metrics of our incentive plans. Our 2024 AIP includes metrics and weightings that encourage both growth (20% Adjusted EPS and 20% Organic Revenue) and operational excellence (25% Free Cash Flow and 20% Adjusted Operating Margin), in addition to a 15% component that rewards executive officers for individual and team performance. 2024 was the final performance year of our 2022 PSU award, which had a payout determined by our return on invested capital (“ROIC”), which is intended to encourage efficient and disciplined use of capital, and relative total shareholder return (“TSR”), which is intended to directly align executive pay with shareholder return relative to our peer

companies. More information on how ROIC and relative TSR are calculated can be found under “2024 Long-Term Incentive Compensation—Performance Stock Units.” All of the financial performance metrics that drive the AIP payout were above target in 2024; as a result, the payouts of our incentive plans were also above target.

■

Our CEO, Mr. Savi, received an AIP payout that was 149% of target. The average payout to our other NEOs was also 149%.

■

The 2022 PSU award paid out at 123.3% of target.

CEO PAY DECISIONS

In the first quarter of each year, the Compensation and Human Capital Committee meets to determine CEO pay decisions for base salary, AIP and LTI award grants inclusive of both prior year performance and appropriate positioning versus the Representative Peer Group described on page 53 . The following table displays the decisions made with respect to CEO compensation.

Pay Component	2024 Target Pay			2025 Target Pay			Drivers for Pay Decisions
Base Salary		$	1,150,000		$	1,200,000	The Committee considered Mr. Savi’s performance, relative pay positioning to peers, as well as the inflationary environment and competitive labor market, and approved an increase of his 2025 base salary by 4.3%.
Annual Incentive Plan Target		$	1,552,500		$	1,620,000	Mr. Savi received a bonus payout of $2,313,230 for 2024 performance, which was 149% of target. 85% of the AIP payout was tied directly to ITT’s financial results and was awarded at 119% of target. 15% of the AIP payout was for the individual component and was awarded at 200% of target because Mr. Savi: ■ Drove exceptional financial results, including record achievement in the following metrics: organic revenue, adjusted operating margin, free cash flow and adjusted EPS; ■ Demonstrated exceptional leadership in an environment that continues to be challenged by supply chain disruptions and global macroeconomic and political uncertainty; and ■ Created additional value for ITT shareholders through strategic capital deployment to all key priorities including organic investments, M&A, share repurchases and dividends. The Committee did not change Mr. Savi’s AIP percentage target for 2025, which remains at 135% of salary.
Long-Term Incentives (LTI) (1)		$	5,300,000		$	5,680,000	The Committee considered Mr. Savi’s performance, relative pay positioning to peers, as well as the compensation philosophy to emphasize variable, performance-based pay and increased the 2025 LTI award to $5,680,000. LTI ties the actual amount that Mr. Savi will receive in pay to ITT’s financial performance and stock price and encourages retention.
TOTAL TARGET COMPENSATION		$	8,002,500		$	8,500,000

The 2024 LTI value for Mr. Savi here differs from what is displayed in the Summary Compensation Table (“SCT”) and Grants of Plan-Based Awards in 2024 table, each of which present the grant date fair value of the LTI awards as calculated under GAAP. Mr. Savi’s 2025 LTI award was granted in March 2025 and is not included in the SCT or the Grants of Plan-Based Awards table.

CEO RETENTION PLAN

On October 30, 2024, the Compensation and Human Capital Committee, (the “Committee”) with the full support of our non-executive Board members, adopted a Chief Executive Officer Retention Plan (the “CEO Retention Plan”) to provide the opportunity for the granting of additional Restricted Stock Units

(the “RSUs”) to Mr. Luca Savi, our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”). Below are insights into the circumstances that drove the Committee’s decision to develop the CEO Retention Plan and details of how the plan works.

RATIONALE BEHIND THE CEO RETENTION PLAN AND ADOPTION PROCESS

During our investor engagement meetings over the preceding 12 months, investors recognized the strong financial performance, shareholder value and strategic execution Mr. Savi has driven since becoming CEO in 2019 and continues to pursue for the Company. Several investors also expressed concern about the risk of a larger publicly traded or private equity-backed industrial company trying to recruit Mr. Savi away from ITT. In addition, during 2024 there were active rumors circulating in the market identifying Mr. Savi as a potential candidate at multiple industrial companies. During our conversations with investors, many encouraged the Board to take actions necessary to ensure Mr. Savi’s retention.

Management regularly conveys shareholder feedback to the Board, and as a result, the Committee began to consider how

best to encourage Mr. Savi’s retention, while ensuring alignment with shareholder interests and long-term company performance. The Committee, in consultation with its independent compensation consultant, Pay Governance, followed a rigorous decision-making process that included setting specific plan objectives, conducting extensive benchmarking and data-driven assessments, and regularly sharing progress with non-executive members of the Board.

During the process of developing the CEO Retention Plan, the Board became aware that Mr. Savi had been approached and offered an opportunity at another industrial company. The Committee determined that the adoption of the CEO Retention Plan was in the Company’s and shareholders’ best interests and approved the CEO Retention Plan on October 30, 2024.

CEO RETENTION PLAN OBJECTIVE

The Committee’s objective was to develop a plan with the following criteria:

	Retention			Encourage Mr. Savi to remain CEO and President of ITT through at least the end of 2028 to continue to execute strategic priorities and further enhance market positioning.
	Performance			Further align his compensation to ITT’s financial and stock price performance, including relative TSR and ROIC, which are key measurements of our success.
	Consideration for Prior Pay Practices			Supplemental and one-time awards are not a regular part of ITT’s executive compensation program. Mr. Savi has not received a one-time award since he began his tenure as CEO in 2019, and the Committee does not intend to provide additional retention awards to him other than those granted under the CEO Retention Plan.

Mr. Savi has a well-demonstrated track record of sustained success as our CEO, and he continues to drive the Company’s strategy forward. Under Mr. Savi’s leadership as CEO since the beginning of 2019, ITT has outperformed the majority of its peers and relevant market indices, delivering strong value for its shareholders and strengthening our market position for future success. Notable achievements during Mr. Savi’s tenure include the following:

■

216% TSR: Through December 31, 2024, ITT’s TSR far exceeded the S&P 500 Index (159%) and the S&P 400 Mid-Cap Index (106%), assuming all dividends were reinvested.

■

15.3% ROIC: ITT’s ROIC increased from 11.6% in 2018 to 15.3% in 2024.

■

Market Capitalization Growth: ITT’s market capitalization increased from $4 billion to $12 billion as of December 31, 2024, representing a 18% compound annual growth rate (“CAGR”).

■

Revenue and Profit Growth: Achieved over $3.6 billion in annual revenue, expanded adjusted operating margin by 430 basis points, and grew adjusted EPS by 81% (10% CAGR).

■

Post-Pandemic Recovery: Since 2020, revenues have risen by 47% (10% CAGR), adjusted EPS by 83% (16% CAGR), and adjusted operating margin by 330 basis points.

■

Strategic Capital Deployment: Effective deployment of over $3.3 billion through December 31, 2024, including five acquisitions, the strategic divestiture of legacy asbestos liabilities, $1.1 billion returned to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases, and $0.6 billion in capital expenditures.

■

Safety Culture: Reduction of incident frequency rate from 1.1 in 2018 to 0.4 in 2024.

COMPONENTS OF THE CEO RETENTION PLAN

The CEO Retention Plan includes two key components:

Initial Time-Based RSU Grant:

■

On October 30, 2024, Mr. Savi was granted RSUs with a fair market value of $7 million, which will vest on December 31, 2028, provided Mr. Savi remains continuously employed with ITT.

Performance-Earned Annual Retention Grants (PEARs):

■

The PEAR awards are 100% “at risk.” Beginning in 2025 and continuing through 2029, Mr. Savi will be eligible for a PEAR grant of RSUs based on the Company’s performance during the preceding three-year period.

■

Each year’s grant, if any, will consist of RSUs with a fair market value based on the “Performance Unit Award Payout” divided by the “Target Units” (expressed as a percentage), each as determined under Mr. Savi’s PSU award agreement for the most recently completed performance period, as follows:

“Performance Unit Award Payout” ÷ “Target Units”	PEAR Grant Value
Less than 105%		$	0
105%-119.9%		$	4,000,000
120%-139.9%		$	5,000,000
140%-159.9%		$	6,000,000
160% or above		$	7,000,000

■

For additional details on Mr. Savi’s PSUs, see 2024 Long-Term Incentive Compensation—Performance Stock Units .

■

Mr. Savi was granted a PEAR award with a grant value of $5,000,000 in March 2025.

■

RSUs granted on 2025 and from 2026 to 2028, if any, will vest on December 31, 2028, or the first anniversary of the grant date, whichever is later. RSUs granted in 2029, if any, will vest on the first anniversary of the grant date.

Treatment of Retention Awards in the Event of a Separation from ITT

If Mr. Savi voluntarily resigns from ITT prior to December 31, 2028, he will forfeit all of his PEAR awards. If Mr. Savi’s employment is terminated due to death, disability or separation from service by the Company other than for cause, he will be eligible to retain a pro-rated portion of his already-granted awards under the CEO Retention Plan, provided he has not violated any anti-competition restrictions applicable to him at the time of such vesting. If Mr. Savi resigns for good reason within two years of a change in control, he will be eligible to retain all of his already-granted awards under the CEO Retention Plan, provided he has not violated any anti-competition restrictions applicable to him at the time of such vesting. Additionally, if Mr. Savi resigns in 2029, he will retain a portion of his 2029 PEAR Award, subject to compliance with anti-competition restrictions. Mr. Savi will not be eligible for future awards under the CEO Retention Plan should he separate from ITT for any reason.

GOVERNANCE AND COMPENSATION

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY

We have designed our compensation programs to help us recruit and retain the executive talent required to successfully manage our business, achieve our business objectives and maximize their long-term contributions to our success. We include compensation elements that are designed to align the interests of executives with our goals of enhancing shareholder

value and achieving our long-term strategies. We determine total annual compensation by reviewing the median of the competitive market, then position compensation at, above or below the median based on experience, performance, critical skills and the general talent market for each senior executive.

BEST PRACTICES THAT SUPPORT OUR EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY

The Compensation and Human Capital Committee oversees the design and administration of our executive compensation programs and evaluates these programs against competitive practices, legal and regulatory developments and corporate governance trends.

The Compensation and Human Capital Committee has incorporated the following best practices into our programs:

WHAT WE DO		WHAT WE DON’T DO
	Emphasize Long-Term Compensation to Ensure Alignment of Pay with Long-Term Performance		No Hedging or Pledging of Company Stock
	Significant Majority of Pay is Performance-Based and Not Guaranteed		No Accelerated Vesting of Equity Awards or Severance Benefits Solely Upon a Change in Control
	Stock Ownership Requirements Require Meaningful Holdings		No Tax Gross-Ups (unless related to international assignment or relocation)
	Double-Trigger Change in Control Vesting of Equity Awards		No Golden Parachutes
	Clawback Policy That Applies to Our Annual Incentive Plan and Equity Awards		No Repricing of Stock Options
	Proactive Engagement with Shareholders		No Supplemental Defined Benefit Pension for Executives
	Engage an Independent Compensation Consultant		No Excessive Perquisites or Personal Benefits

KEY PARTICIPANTS IN THE COMPENSATION PROCESS

ROLE OF THE COMPENSATION AND
HUMAN CAPITAL COMMITTEE

The Compensation and Human Capital Committee reviews and approves the compensation elements and the compensation targets for each of our executive officers, including the NEOs. The Compensation and Human Capital Committee also makes determinations with respect to the AIP as it relates to our executive officers, including the approval of annual performance goals and subsequent full-year achievement against those goals. It administers all elements of the Company’s long-term incentive plan, and approves the benefits and perquisites offered to executive officers. Further, the Compensation and Human Capital Committee evaluates the Company’s compensation programs on an annual basis to ensure our plans do not induce or encourage excessive risk-taking by participants. Pursuant to its charter, the Compensation and Human Capital Committee may delegate authority to act upon specific matters to a subcommittee.

ROLE OF MANAGEMENT

During 2024, each of our CEO and Chief Human Resources Officer made recommendations to the Compensation and Human Capital Committee regarding executive compensation actions and incentive awards. The Chief Human Resources Officer serves as the liaison between the Compensation and Human Capital Committee and Pay Governance, providing internal data on an as-needed basis so Pay Governance can produce comparative analyses for the Compensation and Human Capital Committee. In 2024, the Company’s human resources, finance and legal departments supported the work of the Compensation and Human Capital Committee by providing information, answering questions and responding to various requests of committee members.

				COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS GOVERNANCE AND COMPENSATION

ROLE OF THE INDEPENDENT COMPENSATION CONSULTANT

In 2024, the Compensation and Human Capital Committee continued to use the services of Pay Governance in fulfilling its obligations under its charter, the material terms of which are described elsewhere in this Proxy Statement under the heading “Corporate Governance and Related Matters—Board and Committee Structure—Overview of Committees— Compensation and Human Capital Committee.”

Pay Governance attended the four regularly scheduled meetings and other ad hoc meetings of the Compensation and Human Capital Committee in 2024 and provided the Committee with objective expert analyses, assessments, research and recommendations for executive compensation programs, incentives, perquisites, compensation standards and the CEO

Retention Plan. In this capacity, they provided services that related solely to work performed for, and at the direction of, the Compensation and Human Capital Committee, including analysis of material prepared by management for the Committee’s review. Pay Governance also provides advice related to compensation for directors to the Nominating and Governance Committee.

The Compensation and Human Capital Committee selected Pay Governance to serve as its independent compensation consultant only after assessing the firm’s independence. As part of its independence review, the Compensation and Human Capital Committee reviewed the Company’s relationship with Pay Governance and determined no conflicts of interest existed. The Compensation and Human Capital Committee has the sole authority to retain and terminate consultants, including Pay Governance, with respect to compensation matters.

EXTERNAL BENCHMARKING

In 2024, as in prior years, the Compensation and Human Capital Committee considered competitive market compensation data, in addition to other factors, in determining policies and programs that address executive compensation, benefits and perquisites.

For 2024 pay decisions for the CEO and CFO, the Committee reviewed a peer group of 20 companies comparable to ITT in terms of revenue, market capitalization and industry in order to better evaluate executive compensation market practices (the “Representative Peer Group”). When making pay decisions the Committee also considers other factors such as individual experience and performance, the need for critical skills and the general talent market for each senior executive. The Committee annually reviews and evaluates this Representative Peer Group to ensure it remains appropriate.

2024 Representative Peer Group
■ AMETEK, Inc. (AME)	■ ESAB Corporation (ESAB)	■ Moog Inc. (MOG-A)
■ Barnes Group Inc. (B)	■ Flowserve Corporation (FLS)	■ Nordson Corporation (NDSN)
■ Carlisle Companies Incorporated (CSL)	■ Graco Inc. (GGG)	■ Pentair plc (PNR)
■ Crane Company (CR)	■ Hubbell Incorporated (HUBB)	■ Sensata Technologies Holding plc (ST)
■ Curtiss-Wright Corporation (CW)	■ IDEX Corporation (IEX)	■ Watts Water Technologies, Inc. (WTS)
■ Donaldson Company, Inc. (DCI)	■ Ingersoll Rand Inc. (IR)	■ Woodward, Inc. (WWD)
■ Enpro Inc. (NPO)	■ Lincoln Electric Holdings, Inc. (LECO)

In September 2024, the Compensation and Human Capital Committee reviewed the Representative Peer Group and approved removing Carlisle Companies Incorporated, because it sold its connectors business in late 2023, and replacing it with Chart Industries Inc. (GTLS). The Compensation and Human Capital Committee’s review of the external compensation

market also included data and practices from general compensation surveys and other compensation survey information provided by Pay Governance. This data provides a broader view of executive compensation from companies that are similar in size and industry to ITT.

ELEMENTS OF COMPENSATION

NEO COMPENSATION ELEMENTS AT A GLANCE

The compensation of our executive officers, including our NEOs, is reviewed in detail by the Compensation and Human Capital Committee during the first quarter of every year. NEO direct compensation for 2024 consisted of a base salary, an AIP award and LTI award, each of which is detailed below. For 2024, the Compensation and Human Capital Committee approved an update to the AIP formula to increase the weighting of the free cash flow metric from 20% to 25%, and reduce the weighting of the discretionary individual component from 20% to 15% to better align with our strategy. This change is reflected in the table below.

2024 Compensation Element	Form	Metrics & Weightings	Rationale for Providing
Base Salary	Cash	Not Applicable	Base salary is a competitive fixed pay element tied to role, experience, performance and criticality of skills.
Annual Incentive Plan Award	Cash	■ Adjusted EPS (20%) ■ Adjusted Operating Margin (20%) ■ Free Cash Flow (25%) ■ Adjusted Revenue (20%) ■ Individual and Team Goals (15%)	The AIP is designed to reward achievement of the Company, business unit (where applicable) and individual performance objectives. The AIP is structured to emphasize overall performance and collaboration among the business units. It uses metrics that are fundamental short-term drivers of shareholder value. Each NEO also has 15% of his or her AIP tied to the achievement of individual and team goals. AIP may pay out from 0% to 200% of target.
Long-Term Incentive Awards	Stock	PSU Awards: ■ Relative TSR (50%) ■ ROIC (50%)	The LTI plan is designed to reward performance that drives long-term shareholder value through the use of three-year cliff vesting: ■ PSUs (60% of LTI mix) provide rewards linked to stock price performance (due to denomination as ITT share units) and can go up or down based on relative TSR and ROIC, equally weighted, and aligned with long-term growth. PSUs may pay out from 0% to 200% of target. ■ RSUs (40% of LTI mix) link compensation to absolute stock price performance and strengthen retention value. The grant date of PSUs and RSUs is determined on the date which the Compensation and Human Capital Committee approves these awards, and is typically in March.

The Company also provides benefits and limited perquisites to its NEOs it believes are competitive with the external market for talent. For a more detailed discussion of these benefits and perquisites, see the discussion under the heading “Benefits and Perquisites.”

2024 BASE SALARY INCREASES

The Compensation and Human Capital Committee reviewed the compensation level of each NEO compared to the Representative Peer Group and/or the external survey data. Based on the Committee’s targeted pay positioning and evaluation of each NEO’s performance, the Committee awarded base salary merit increases effective in March 2024 as reflected in the following table.

Named Executive Officer	2023 Annual Base Salary			2024 Annual Base Salary			Percent Increase
Luca Savi		$	1,100,000		$	1,150,000		4.5 %
Emmanuel Caprais			600,000			620,000		3.3 %
Lori B. Marino			480,000			520,000		8.3 %
Davide Barbon (1)			451,000			605,000		34 %
Bartek Makowiecki (2)			440,000			600,000		36 %

(1)

Mr. Barbon received a 9.8% salary increase in March 2024 and an additional 22.2% salary increase in December 2024. The salary increases were a result of Mr. Barbon’s performance and his significant responsibilities as President for both the Motion Technologies business segment and the APAC region. Mr. Barbon’s salary has been converted from Euros to U.S. dollars using a 1.1 exchange rate.

Mr. Makowiecki received a 4.5% salary increase in March 2024 and an additional 30% salary increase in September 2024 when he was appointed Chief Strategy Officer and President of Industrial Process in recognition of his performance and his increased responsibilities.

2024 ANNUAL INCENTIVE PLAN

Our financial performance was strong in 2024 and our results exceeded target for all of the metrics that drive the AIP payout. The AIP payout for our CEO was 149% of target and also averaged 149% of target for our NEOs. The Company’s AIP provides for an annual cash payment to participating executives established as a target percentage of base salary. In setting AIP awards, the Compensation and Human Capital Committee approves target AIP awards after careful consideration of external data, individual roles and responsibilities and individual performance.

The Company pays for AIP performance that demonstrates substantial achievement of plan goals. We established strong incentives and set aggressive goals for all financial metrics. The Company must achieve a certain threshold for each of the four financial performance metrics discussed below in order for each performance component to be considered in the calculation of the AIP payout. Performance below the threshold performance level results in a zero payout for that particular performance component.

The formula to determine each NEO’s AIP total potential payment is as follows:

		2024 AIP Potential Payout =
		(Base Salary Rate) x (Target Award Percentage) x (AIP Performance Factor)

AIP award payouts are capped at 200% of an individual’s annual cash bonus target.

2024 AIP AWARDS PAID IN 2025

The 2024 AIP awards paid in March 2025 are as follows:

Named Executive Officer	2024 Target AIP Awards as Percentage of Base Salary		2024 AIP Target Amounts			2024 AIP Awards (Paid in 2025)			2024 AIP Awards as Percentage of Target (Paid in 2025)
Luca Savi		135 %		$	1,552,500		$	2,313,230		149 %
Emmanuel Caprais		75 %			465,000			646,350		139 %
Lori B. Marino		75 %			390,000			561,600		144 %

2024 AIP PERFORMANCE METRICS AND WEIGHTINGS

Based on the Company’s 2024 business objectives, the Compensation and Human Capital Committee identified four financial performance metrics and an individual component for the 2024 performance year, which together comprise the AIP Performance Factor.

Metric	Weighting	Reason for Selection	Details
Adjusted Earnings Per Share (“Adjusted EPS”)	20%	Important measure of the value provided to shareholders	Adjusted EPS is defined as income from continuing operations attributable to ITT per diluted share, adjusted to exclude special items on an after-tax basis. The after-tax basis of each special item is determined using the jurisdictional tax rate of where the expense or benefit occurred.
Free Cash Flow and Segment Free Cash Flow	25%	Important measure of how the Company converts its net earnings into deployable cash	Free Cash Flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures, adjusted for cash payments for restructuring costs, realignment actions and other significant items that impact current results which management views as unrelated to the Company’s ongoing operations and performance. Segment Free Cash Flow is defined as segment level net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures, adjusted for special items and the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.
Adjusted Operating Margin and Adjusted Segment Operating Margin	20%	Emphasizes the importance of maintaining healthy margins	Adjusted Operating Margin and Adjusted Segment Operating Margin are defined as the ratio of Adjusted Operating Income or Adjusted Segment Operating Income, over Organic Revenue, adjusted to exclude special items that include, but are not limited to, restructuring, divestiture-related costs, certain asset impairment charges, certain acquisition-related impacts, and unusual or infrequent operating items. Special items represent significant charges or credits that impact the current results, which management views as unrelated to the Company’s ongoing operations and performance.
Organic Revenue and Organic Segment Revenue	20%	Reflects the Company’s emphasis on growth	Organic Revenue is defined as revenue, excluding the estimated impact of foreign currency fluctuations and acquisitions. Organic Segment Revenue is defined as segment level revenue excluding the estimated impact of foreign currency fluctuations, acquisitions and divestitures. In both cases, divestitures include sales of portions of our business that did not meet the criteria for presentation as a discontinued operation.
Individual Component	15%	Provides focus on supporting enterprise initiatives that will create growth and increase shareholder value	Each NEO establishes several personal or team goals related to Company initiatives or segment-specific initiatives that are aligned with the strategy of the business and the goals of the CEO. For 2024, the areas established at the start of the performance period were: ■ Financial: Deliver on our financial commitments. ■ Culture and Talent: Operationalization of our engaged meritocracy and Higher Performance Culture; strengthen and develop our talent pipeline; engage and energize employees around our strategy. ■ Execution: Drive customer-centered fundamentals and cultivate customer relationships; achieve operational excellence by differentiating through safety, effectiveness, and efficiencies; ensure the organization is optimized and delivering on customer commitments with premier profitability. ■ Growth and Innovation: Advance our technology and capabilities to create new opportunities and growth for the medium and long-term. ■ Capital Deployment: Drive actions to maximize returns of our organic investments and cultivate value-creating, inorganic growth opportunities.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

				COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS 2024 ANNUAL INCENTIVE PLAN

As permitted by the ITT Annual Incentive Plan for Executive Officers, the Compensation and Human Capital Committee may exclude the impact of acquisitions, divestitures and other special items in computing AIP awards. Special items represent significant charges or credits that impact current results, which management views as unrelated to the Company’s ongoing operations and performance. Special items may include, but are not limited to, restructuring costs, realignment costs, pension settlement and other curtailment costs, certain

acquisition-related expenses, income tax settlements or adjustments, and unusual and infrequent items. The four financial performance metrics applicable to each NEO are non-GAAP financial measures and should not be considered a substitute for measures determined in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similar measures reported by other companies or those that we use in our Form 10-K or other external financial presentations.

2024 AIP PERFORMANCE TARGETS AND RESULTS

The Adjusted EPS, Free Cash Flow, Adjusted Operating Margin and Organic Revenue targets were approved in February 2024 based on the Company’s operating budget. The target of each financial metric was set higher than our 2023 actual results. The Compensation and Human Capital Committee reviewed the operating budget with management to ensure the targets were appropriate and determined the achievement of the

combination of financial goals would be challenging and reflect strong performance. In addition to these metrics, ITT Inc. and each of the business segments have working capital financial targets that if not achieved will result in up to a five-point reduction of the final AIP financial score. The table below sets forth the target and actual results for each 2024 AIP financial performance metric at the corporate level.

ITT INC. FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE TARGETS

The 2024 financial targets for Mr. Savi, Mr. Caprais, Ms. Marino and Mr. Makowiecki reflect ITT Inc. targets. For 2025, Mr. Makowiecki’s AIP payout will be based 50% on ITT Inc. targets and 50% on the Industrial Process business segment targets.

Metric	Threshold (50%)			Target (100%)			Maximum (200%)			2024 Results			2024 Payout
Adjusted Earnings Per Share		$	5.11		$	5.68		$	6.24		$	5.93		144.5 %
Free Cash Flow		$	387		$	455		$	523		$	472		125.5 %
Adjusted Operating Margin			16.4 %			17.2 %			18.1 %			17.9 %		172.7 %
Organic Revenue		$	3,264		$	3,626		$	3,989		$	3,694		118.8 %

SEGMENT FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE TARGETS

The financial targets for Mr. Barbon reflect the Motion Technologies business segment and APAC region (split equally) in addition to the ITT Inc. Adjusted Earnings Per Share target. Business segments receive an additional benefit to their financial score and bonus payout pool when they meet or exceed their financial targets. As a result, Mr. Barbon received an additional 23 points toward his AIP financial score, which are not reflected in the tables below.

2024 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE COMPENSATION

In 2024, the Compensation and Human Capital Committee approved two types of grants for the Company’s annual LTI awards with each addressing long-term shareholder value alignment in different ways. The Committee believes that granting a combination of PSUs and RSUs provides alignment with shareholder interests, retention value and a direct connection between pay and the performance of our Company over the long term. The 2024 LTI award grants for our NEOs were allocated as follows:

60% PSUs

40% RSUs

The following table shows the target value of the 2024 LTI award grants made to NEOs in March 2024 as part of the Company’s annual compensation process. These LTI values were determined by taking into account base pay and annual incentive values, assessing market competitive total compensation levels and seeking to find an appropriate mix of fixed versus variable and short-term versus long-term incentives. These values also considered each NEO’s role, potential long-term contribution, performance, experience and skills.

Named Executive Officer	PSUs (Target Award)			RSUs			Total (1)
Luca Savi (2)		$	3,180,000		$	2,120,000		$	5,300,000

The target values in this table reflect target amounts approved by the Compensation and Human Capital Committee in February 2024; the values reported in the SCT and the Grants of Plan-Based Awards tables present the grant date fair value as calculated under GAAP.

(3)

As disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on September 5, 2024, the Compensation and Human Capital Committee increased Mr. Makowiecki’s annual target equity compensation to $1,350,000 for the next annual award grant (March 2025) in conjunction with his promotion to Senior Vice President, Chief Strategy Officer and President, Industrial Process.

PERFORMANCE STOCK UNITS

PSUs are settled in shares generally after a three-year performance vesting period, with performance tied equally to the Company’s three-year TSR performance relative to a group of peer companies and the Company’s ROIC.

Delivery of shares generally requires employment throughout the three-year performance period. PSUs provide alignment with absolute stock performance, relative stock performance, Company performance and potential retention value. For each eligible employee, there may be up to three outstanding PSU award periods at any time. No dividend equivalents are paid on unvested PSUs.

ROIC (50% WEIGHTING)

■

The Compensation and Human Capital Committee approved ROIC as a metric to align executive pay with the Company’s performance in driving efficient and disciplined deployment of capital.

■

The ROIC target is a three-year average of the annual ROIC results within the performance period.

■

ROIC for the 2024 PSUs is a percentage that will be calculated by dividing (A) after-tax income from continuing operations attributable to the Company, adjusted to exclude the after-tax impact from special items, interest income or expense and amortization of expense from intangible assets by (B) average total assets from continuing operations, less non-interest bearing current liabilities for the five preceding quarterly periods. Special items represent significant charges or credits that impact results, such as unbudgeted acquisitions or divestitures, but may not be related to the Company’s ongoing operations and performance, as disclosed in the Company’s filings with the SEC.

■

The Compensation and Human Capital Committee establishes the ROIC targets during February or early March each year, before the PSU awards are granted, and the targets for currently outstanding PSUs are reflected in the table below. The ROIC targets will be adjusted annually during the performance period for certain one-time events such as material acquisitions and divestitures and changes in law or accounting principles.

PSU ROIC Targets
PSU Award	Threshold (50% Payout)		Target (100% Payout)		Maximum (200% Payout)
2024-2026 PSU		12.7 %		14.1 %		15.5 %
2023-2025 PSU		13.0 %		14.4 %		15.8 %
2022-2024 PSU		13.4 %		14.8 %		16.2 %

RELATIVE TSR (50% WEIGHTING)

■

Relative TSR was approved by the Committee to ensure executive compensation is aligned with shareholder value creation.

■

The relative TSR peer group includes companies in the S&P 400 Capital Goods index and additional companies from the transportation and industrial pump/flow industries (collectively, the “TSR peer group”) in order to provide a broad set of companies that align with ITT’s portfolio mix.

■

TSR performance is measured by comparing the average closing stock price for the month of December prior to the start of the three-year performance cycle, to the average closing stock price for the month of December that concludes the three-year period.

■

Vesting at the end of the applicable three-year performance period is based on the Company’s TSR performance ranked against the TSR performance of the other companies within the TSR peer group.

If Company’s Relative Total Shareholder Return Performance is:	Payout Factor for TSR Component of PSUs*
at the 80th percentile or greater		200 %
at the 50th percentile		100 %
at the 35th percentile		50 %
less than the 35th percentile		0 %

Payouts for performance between the percentiles shown are interpolated.

PAYOUT ON PSUs GRANTED IN 2022

In 2022, ITT granted PSUs to certain executives, including each of the NEOs. The three-year performance targets were based equally on the Company’s TSR performance relative to the performance of companies in the TSR peer group and the Company’s ROIC performance. The payout of the 2022 PSUs was 123.3% of target based on the following results:

■

ROIC Results (50% weighting): In April 2022, ITT completed the acquisition of Habonim Industrial Valves and Actuators Ltd. In 2023, ITT completed the acquisition of Micro-Mode in May and the divestiture of Matrix Composites, Inc. in December. In 2024, ITT completed the acquisitions of Svanehøj Group A/S in January and kSARIA Parent, Inc. in September, and the divestiture of Wolverine Advanced

Materials in July. The 2022 ROIC targets were adjusted for these transactions in accordance with the Company’s 2022 PSU award agreement, which states that targets will be adjusted for material acquisitions, divestitures or other one-time events, or material changes in laws, regulations or accounting principles. ITT’s three-year average ROIC was 14.7%, which was slightly below the adjusted target of 14.8%, resulting in a payout of 96.6% of target.

■

2022-2024 Relative TSR Results (50% weighting): During the three-year performance period, ITT’s TSR was at the 65 th percentile of the TSR peer group. The payout for the TSR metric was 150% of target.

RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS

RSUs are settled in shares generally after a three-year vesting period and provide alignment with stock performance and retention value. Grants of RSUs provide NEOs with stock ownership of ITT shares after the restrictions lapse. NEOs receive RSU awards because, in the judgment of the Compensation and Human Capital Committee, and based on management recommendations, these individuals are in positions most likely to influence the achievement of the Company’s long-term value creation goals and to create shareholder value over time. The Compensation and Human Capital Committee reviews all grants of RSUs for executive

officers prior to the award, including awards based on performance, retention-based awards, and awards contemplated for new employees as part of employment offers. The CEO has the authority to grant RSUs to other employees in certain situations. These grants are reviewed by the Compensation and Human Capital Committee at its next scheduled meeting. RSUs do not grant dividend or voting rights to the holder over the vesting period, however, dividend equivalents are accrued and paid after vesting. In certain cases, such as for new hires or to facilitate retention, selected employees may receive RSUs subject to different vesting terms.

PERFORMANCE-RELATED GRANTS

In addition to annual LTI awards, the Compensation and Human Capital Committee may award other grants in the form of PSUs, RSUs or stock options. These grants are used to attract new senior executives to ITT, provide additional retention incentive or reward extraordinary performance. In September 2024, the Compensation and Human Capital Committee approved a $500,000 RSU award to Mr. Makowiecki with 40% vesting on the one-year anniversary of the grant and 60% vesting on the

two-year anniversary of the grant, because of the additional responsibilities he assumed as Chief Strategy Officer of ITT and leader of the Industrial Process business segment. In October 2024, the Compensation and Human Capital Committee approved a $7,000,000 RSU award to Mr. Savi as part of the CEO retention plan, as detailed in the section entitled “CEO Retention Plan.” The award will vest on December 31, 2028, subject to Mr. Savi’s continuous employment with ITT.

				COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS BENEFITS AND PERQUISITES

BENEFITS AND PERQUISITES

All of the NEOs are eligible to participate in the Company’s broad-based U.S. employee benefits program other than Mr. Barbon, who receives benefits as employees of ITT Italy Holdings s.r.l. The U.S. employee benefits program includes the ITT Retirement Savings Plan, group medical and dental coverage, group life insurance, group accidental death and dismemberment insurance and other benefit plans.

All of the NEOs except for Mr. Barbon, together with most of the Company’s other salaried employees who work in the United States, participate in the ITT Retirement Savings Plan, a tax-qualified savings plan, which allows employees to contribute to the plan on a before-tax basis, on an after-tax basis or as a Roth contribution. The Company makes a core contribution of 3% or 4% of pay to the plan for all eligible employees and also matches 50% of employee contributions up to 6% of pay. The

core contribution is 3% for employees whose age plus years of service is less than 50, and 4% for employees whose age plus years of service is at least 50.

The Company provides only those perquisites it considers to be reasonable and consistent with competitive practices. Perquisites available for our U.S.-based NEOs are financial and estate planning reimbursements of up to $17,500 per year. Mr. Barbon receives a company car, which is a common market practice for senior executives based in Shanghai, China and Italy.

Amounts reported as perquisites also include reimbursement of certain relocation-related expenses, which are described in detail in the notes to the “All Other Compensation Table” in the section entitled “Compensation Tables.”

RETIREMENT AND BENEFITS PLAN FOR MR. BARBON

Mr. Barbon is employed by ITT’s Italian subsidiary and is eligible for statutory retirement and health and welfare benefits that are generally provided to our employees in Italy that have the classification of Dirigenti (Executive). He also participates in a Motion Technologies (Italy) supplemental retirement plan provided under the terms of the collective bargaining agreement applicable to executives of industrial companies.

These benefits are provided in addition to the Italian government-provided retirement benefits.

During Mr. Barbon’s transition from his assignment in China to Italy, he and his family continued to be covered by ITT’s international healthcare plan, which covers all employees that participate in an international assignment.

OTHER COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS

POST-EMPLOYMENT COMPENSATION

ITT DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN

For periods prior to 2020, U.S. executives were eligible to participate in the ITT Deferred Compensation Plan. This plan provided an opportunity to defer receipt of between 2% and 90% of any AIP awards they earned. The amount of deferred compensation ultimately would also reflect the performance of benchmark investment funds made available under the plan as selected by the executive. Participants in the ITT Deferred Compensation Plan may elect a fund that tracks the performance of ITT’s common stock. Beginning in 2020, executives were no longer able to defer compensation under the ITT Deferred Compensation Plan, but will still be entitled to receive any compensation deferred prior to 2020 in accordance with the plan. None of our NEOs have a deferred amount under the ITT Deferred Compensation Plan.

SEVERANCE PLAN ARRANGEMENTS

The Company maintains severance arrangements for most of its senior executives, including all of the NEOs. These arrangements are included in two plans, one covering most severance circumstances (the “ITT Senior Executive Severance

Pay Plan”), and the other covering severance following a change-in-control event (the “ITT Senior Executive Change in Control Severance Pay Plan”). These plans do not allow for the payment of tax gross-ups on severance pay or other benefits.

The purpose of the ITT Senior Executive Severance Pay Plan is to provide a period of transition for senior executives upon termination of employment. The terms of the ITT Senior Executive Severance Pay Plan apply to Mr. Savi, Mr. Caprais, Ms. Marino, and Mr. Makowiecki. The severance terms for Mr. Barbon are covered under the National Collective Agreement for the Industrial Sector Managers in Italy. This agreement provides Mr. Barbon with termination benefits in the event his employment is terminated other than for cause. Senior executives who are full-time salaried employees of the Company or any subsidiary, who are paid under a U.S. payroll and who report directly to the CEO are covered by the ITT Senior Executive Severance Pay Plan. The plan generally provides for severance payments if the Company terminates a senior executive’s employment without cause. In the event any payment would constitute an excess parachute payment within the meaning of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended (the “Code”), then the aggregate of all payments

ITT INC. | 2025 PROXY STATEMENT

TABLE OF CONTENTS

				COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS POLICIES
				COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS POLICIES

would be reduced so the present value of the aggregate of all payments is maximized, but is not subject to excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code or the deduction limitation of Section 280G of the Code.

The purpose of the ITT Senior Executive Change in Control Severance Pay Plan is to provide compensation in the case of termination of employment in connection with an acceleration event (defined under the heading “Compensation Tables— Potential Post-Employment Compensation—Change in Control Arrangements”) including a change in control. The ITT Senior Executive Change in Control Pay Plan applies to all NEOs. The provisions of this plan are specifically designed to address the inability of senior executives to influence the Company’s future

performance after certain change of control events. The plan is structured to encourage executives to act in the best interests of shareholders by providing for certain compensation and retention benefits and payments in the case of an acceleration event and qualifying termination of employment.

These plans, including the potential post-employment payments our NEOs would receive pursuant to these plans, are described in more detail elsewhere in this Compensation Discussion and Analysis under the heading “Compensation Tables—Potential Post-Employment Compensation.” The severance plans apply to our key employees as defined by Section 409A of the Code.

POLICIES

THE ROLE OF RISK AND RISK MITIGATION

The Compensation and Human Capital Committee regularly reviews risk factors associated with our businesses in determining compensation structure and pay practices. The structure of the Board’s committees facilitates this evaluation and determination. Further, overall enterprise risk is considered and discussed at Board meetings, providing additional

important information to the Compensation and Human Capital Committee. The CEO attends those portions of the Compensation and Human Capital Committee meetings at which plan features and design configurations of our annual and LTI plans are considered and approved.

ITT INC. | 2025 PROXY STATEMENT

TABLE OF CONTENTS

				COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS POLICIES
				COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS POLICIES

We believe our executive compensation program appropriately balances risk with maximizing long-term shareholder value. The following features of our executive compensation program help to contribute to the achievement of this goal.

	Emphasis on Long-Term Compensation			By granting long-term incentive compensation at 43% to 66% of our NEOs’ total compensation package, the Compensation and Human Capital Committee believes it is encouraging strategies that correlate with the long-term interests of the Company. Our LTI awards, described elsewhere in this Compensation Discussion and Analysis under the heading “2024 Long-Term Incentive Compensation,” generally feature a three-year vesting threshold at the senior vice president level and above, encouraging behavior focused on long-term value creation. PSUs focus on ITT’s three-year TSR and ROIC performance, encouraging behavior focused on long-term goals.
	Pay Mix			14% to 33% of total target compensation is fixed for NEOs while the remaining total compensation is tied to performance, consistent with our pay-for-performance philosophy. As scope of responsibility increases, the amount of performance-based pay increases and fixed pay decreases relative to other officers. Our incentive design provides multiple performance time frames and a variety of financial measures that are intended to drive profitable and sustained growth.
	Clawback Policy			We have an SEC-compliant policy that: ■ provides for the recoupment of certain compensation from our executive officers (including our NEOs) in the event of an accounting restatement resulting from material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirements under the federal securities laws on a “no-fault” basis; and ■ provides for recoupment of performance-based compensation if the Board determines a senior executive (including our NEOs) has engaged in fraud or willful misconduct that caused or otherwise contributed to the need for a material restatement of the Company’s financial results.
	Required Executive Stock Ownership			NEOs are required to own Company shares or share equivalents with a value equal to a multiple of their base salary, as discussed in more detail below. We believe this requirement aligns their interests with the interests of the Company’s shareholders and also discourages behavior that places focus only on the short-term.
	Prohibition Against Speculating, Hedging or Pledging Stock			We have a policy prohibiting employees from hedging and speculative trading in and out of the Company’s securities, including short sales and leverage transactions, such as puts, calls, and listed and unlisted options. We also prohibit employees from pledging Company securities as collateral for a loan.
	Rule 10b5-1 Trading Plans			The Board has authorized the use by executive officers of prearranged trading plans under Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act. Rule 10b5-1 permits insiders to adopt predetermined plans for selling specified amounts of stock or exercising stock options under specified conditions and at specified times. Executive officers may only enter into a trading plan during an open trading window, they must not possess material nonpublic information regarding the Company at the time they adopt the plan and must act in good faith with respect to the plan. Using trading plans, insiders can diversify their investment portfolios while avoiding concerns about transactions occurring at a time when they might possess material nonpublic information. Generally, under these trading plans, the individual relinquishes control over the transactions once the plan is put into place. Accordingly, sales may occur at any time, including possibly before, simultaneously with, or immediately after significant events involving the Company. Both new plans and modifications are subject to a statutory “cooling-off period” designed to safeguard the plans from manipulation or market timing. Trading plans adopted by executive officers are reviewed and approved by our legal department.

EXECUTIVE STOCK OWNERSHIP GUIDELINES

The Company maintains stock ownership guidelines for all of its executive officers, including the NEOs. Executive officers have five years in order to meet the guidelines.

Stock ownership guidelines for officers specify the desired levels of Company stock ownership and encourage a set of behaviors for each officer to reach the guideline levels. The guidelines specify expected stock ownership levels expressed as a multiple of base salary, as set forth in the table below. Only the following equity holdings count toward achieving these ownership levels: shares owned outright, Company unvested RSUs, shares held in the Company’s dividend reinvestment plan, shares owned in the ITT Retirement Savings Plan and “phantom” shares held in a fund that tracks an index of the Company’s stock in the deferred compensation plan. Unvested PSUs, which comprise a significant percentage of total compensation for the CEO and other NEOs, do not count towards the achievement of our executive stock ownership guidelines. The guidelines, and compliance with the guidelines, are monitored periodically. As of December 31, 2024 all NEOs either have met the guidelines, or are on track to meet the guidelines.

	Chief Executive Officer			6 x Annual Base Salary
	Executive Vice Presidents			4 x Annual Base Salary
	Senior Vice Presidents			3 x Annual Base Salary
	Selected Vice Presidents			1 x Annual Base Salary

HEDGING POLICY

Our NEOs are subject to the Company’s hedging policy described at page 23 .

CONSIDERATIONS OF TAX AND ACCOUNTING IMPACTS

In establishing total compensation for the executive officers, the Compensation and Human Capital Committee has considered the effect of Section 162(m) of the Code and the accounting rules associated with the Company’s compensation programs. As a general matter, Section 162(m) disallows a tax deduction for compensation over $1,000,000 paid for any fiscal year to the CEO, the CFO and the three other highest-paid NEOs.

The Compensation and Human Capital Committee did not design the 2024 executive compensation program to preserve the deductibility of compensation that is paid to executive officers, as it did prior to the adoption of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017.

(1)

Amounts reflect the threshold, target and maximum payment levels, respectively, if an award payout is achieved under the AIP. These potential payments are based on achievement of specific performance metrics and are completely at risk. The AIP Target award is computed based upon the applicable range of net estimated payments denominated in dollars where the target award is equal to 100% of the award potential, the threshold is equal to 50% of target, and the maximum is equal to 200% of target. Zero payment is possible for performance below the threshold.

(2)

Amounts reflect the threshold, target and maximum unit levels, respectively, of potential PSU award payouts. These potential unit amounts are based on achievement of specific performance metrics and are completely at risk. The PSU is computed based upon the applicable range of net estimated payments denominated in units where the target award is equal to 100% of the award potential, the threshold is equal to 50% of target and the maximum is equal to 200% of target. Zero payment is possible for performance below the threshold.

(3)

Amounts reflect RSU awards granted in 2024 to the NEOs.

(4)

Amounts represent the aggregate grant date fair value computed in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“FASB ASC”) Topic 718 for PSU and RSU awards granted to the NEOs in 2024. A discussion of assumptions relating to these LTI awards may be found in Note 17, Long-Term Incentive Employee Compensation, to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2024 Form 10-K.

2024 PENSION BENEFITS

Effective on October 31, 2011, all of the Company’s pension benefits for salaried US employees were frozen, and the cumulative liability of these benefits was assumed by Exelis

Inc. None of our NEOs were U.S. employees prior to October 31, 2011, and therefore none are eligible for pension benefits.

2024 NONQUALIFIED DEFERRED COMPENSATION

ITT DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN

The ITT Deferred Compensation Plan is a tax deferral plan that was frozen to new deferrals effective as of 2020. The ITT Deferred Compensation Plan permitted eligible employees with a base salary of at least $200,000 to defer between 2% and 90% of their AIP payment. The amount of deferred compensation ultimately would also reflect the performance of benchmark investment funds made available under the plan as selected by the executive. Participants in the ITT Deferred

Compensation Plan may elect a fund that tracks the performance of ITT’s common stock. Beginning in 2020, executives were no longer able to defer compensation under the ITT Deferred Compensation Plan but will still be entitled to receive any compensation deferred prior to 2020 in accordance with the plan. None of our NEOs had a balance in the ITT Deferred Compensation Plan in 2024.

ITT SUPPLEMENTAL RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN

Since federal law limits the amount of compensation that can be used to determine employee and employer contribution amounts to the tax-qualified plan ($345,000 in 2024), the Company has established and maintains a non-qualified unfunded ITT Supplemental Retirement Savings Plan to allow for Company contributions based on base salary and actual annual bonus paid in excess of these limits. All balances under

this plan are maintained on the books of the Company and earnings are credited to the accumulated savings under the plan based on the earnings in the Stable Value Fund in the tax-qualified plan. Benefits will be paid in a lump sum in the seventh month following the last day worked. Effective January 1, 2012, the plan was amended to no longer permit employee contributions.

POTENTIAL POST-EMPLOYMENT COMPENSATION

The potential post-employment compensation tables reflect the amount of compensation payable to each of the NEOs in the event their ITT employment ceases, including voluntary termination, termination for cause, death or disability, termination without cause or termination in connection with a change of control. Post-separation compensation of our NEOs, other than Mr. Barbon, is governed by the ITT Senior Executive Severance Pay Plan. In addition, post-separation compensation of all of our NEOs is governed by the ITT Senior Executive Change in Control Severance Pay Plan (applicable to situations involving a change of control) and our equity award agreements.

The amounts shown in the potential post-employment compensation tables are estimates, assuming the triggering event occurred on December 31, 2024, including amounts that would be earned through such date (or that would be earned during a period of severance), and where applicable, are based on the closing price of the Company’s stock on December 31, 2024, the last trading day of 2024, which was $142.88.

The actual amounts to be paid out can only be determined at the time of such executive’s separation from the Company.

PAYMENTS AND BENEFITS PROVIDED GENERALLY TO SALARIED EMPLOYEES

The amounts shown in the tables in this section do not include payments and benefits to the extent these payments and benefits are provided on a non-discriminatory basis to salaried employees generally upon termination of employment. These include:

■

Accrued salary and vacation pay; and

■

Distributions of plan balances under the ITT Retirement Savings Plan and amounts under the ITT Supplemental Retirement Savings Plan.

No perquisites are available to any NEOs in any of the post-employment compensation circumstances.

ITT SENIOR EXECUTIVE SEVERANCE PAY PLAN

The ITT Senior Executive Severance Pay Plan provides overall cash severance benefits to executives, provides participants with outplacement assistance for one year and provides six months of eligibility for healthcare benefits. The amount of

severance pay under this plan depends on the executive’s base pay and years of service, not to exceed two times the executive’s annual compensation for the year preceding the severance date. The Company considers these severance pay

ITT INC. | 2025 PROXY STATEMENT

provisions appropriate transitional provisions given the job responsibilities and competitive market in which senior executives function.

No severance is provided if an employee is terminated for cause because the Company believes employees terminated for cause should not receive additional compensation. In addition, the Company’s obligation to continue severance payments stops if the executive does not comply with the Company’s Code of Conduct. We consider this cessation provision to be critical to the Company’s emphasis on ethical behavior. The Company’s obligation to continue severance

payments also stops if the executive does not comply with non-competition provisions of the ITT Senior Executive Severance Pay Plan. These provisions protect the integrity of our businesses and are consistent with typical commercial arrangements.

If a covered executive receives or is entitled to receive other compensation from the Company, the amount of that other compensation could be used to offset amounts otherwise payable under the ITT Senior Executive Severance Pay Plan. Severance pay will start within 60 days following the covered executive’s scheduled termination date.

ITT SENIOR EXECUTIVE CHANGE IN CONTROL SEVERANCE PAY PLAN

This plan provides two levels of benefits for covered executives, based on their position within the Company. The Compensation and Human Capital Committee considered two levels of benefits to be appropriate based on the relative ability of each level of employee to influence future Company performance. Our CEO and Senior Vice Presidents receive the higher level and certain Vice Presidents the second level. Under the ITT Senior Executive Change in Control Severance Pay Plan, if a covered executive is terminated within two years of a change in control or in contemplation of a change in control event that ultimately occurs or if the covered executive terminates his or her employment for good reason within two years of a change in control, he or she would be entitled to:

■

Any accrued but unpaid base salary, bonus (AIP award), vacation and unreimbursed expenses;

■

Two or three times the current base salary and target annual incentive as of the termination date;

■

A lump sum payment equal to two or three times the highest annual base salary rate during the three years preceding termination or an acceleration event times the highest percentage rate of the Company’s contributions to the ITT Retirement Savings Plan and the ITT Supplemental Retirement Savings Plan, such percentage rate not to exceed 7% per year;

■

Subsidized healthcare benefits for six months after termination; and

■

One year of outplacement assistance.

All of the NEOs are (or were, prior to separation from ITT) covered at the highest level of benefits.

CHANGE IN CONTROL ARRANGEMENTS

There are change of control provisions in various Company plans which were adopted to mitigate the concern that, in the event the Company is considering a change in control transaction, the employees involved in considering the transaction might otherwise be motivated to act in their own interests rather than in the interests of the shareholders.

All current long-term incentive awards (PSUs and RSUs) have included a “double trigger” provision, whereby no benefits will be paid to an executive unless (i) a change in control of the Company has occurred and (ii) there has been a specified change in the employment status of the executive within a period of time following the change in control. For example, if a covered executive is terminated without cause within two years of a change in control or terminates his or her employment for good reason within two years of a change in control, or is terminated before the change in control occurs, but after its announcement or at the request of a participant, he or she would be entitled to vesting of long-term incentive awards pursuant to the award agreements. The ITT Senior Executive Change in Control Severance Pay Plan and ITT Change in

Control Severance Pay Plan also have double trigger provisions. We utilize “double trigger” vesting to ensure management talent will be available to assist in the successful integration following a change in control and to align with prevailing governance practices. The payment or vesting of awards or benefits under the ITT Annual Incentive Plan for Executive Officers, the Deferred Compensation Plan and the Supplemental Retirement Savings Plan have a single trigger provision and are accelerated solely upon the occurrence of a change in control of the Company.

The 2011 Omnibus Incentive Plan, 2003 Equity Incentive Plan, ITT Annual Incentive Plan for Executive Officers, ITT Senior Executive Change in Control Severance Pay Plan, ITT Change in Control Severance Pay Plan, Deferred Compensation Plan and Supplemental Retirement Savings Plan consider a change in control to have occurred if one of the following acceleration events occurs:

A report on Schedule 13D was filed with the SEC disclosing any person, other than the Company or one of

A person other than the Company or one of its subsidiaries or any employee benefit plan that is sponsored by the Company or a subsidiary purchased the Company’s shares in connection with a tender or exchange offer, if after consummation of the offer the person purchasing the shares is the beneficial owner of 20% or more of the Company’s outstanding stock.

The shareholders of the Company approved:

Any consolidation, business combination or merger of the Company other than a consolidation, business combination or merger in which the shareholders of the Company immediately prior to the merger would hold 50% or more of the combined voting power of the Company or the surviving corporation of the merger and would have the same proportionate ownership of common stock of the surviving corporation they held in the Company immediately prior to the merger; or

Any sale, lease, exchange or other transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company.

A majority of the members of the Board of the Company changed within a 12 month period, unless the election or nomination for election of each of the new directors by the Company’s shareholders had been approved by two-thirds of the directors still in office who had been directors at the beginning of the 12 month period or whose nomination for election or election was recommended or approved by a majority of directors who were directors at the beginning of the 12 month period.

Any person other than the Company or one of its subsidiaries or any employee benefit plan sponsored by the Company or a subsidiary became the beneficial owner of 20% or more of the Company’s outstanding stock.

Under the 2011 Omnibus Incentive Plan, 2003 Equity Incentive Plan, ITT Annual Incentive Plan for Executive Officers, ITT Senior Executive Change in Control Severance Pay Plan and ITT Change in Control Severance Pay Plan, a change of control additionally requires consummation of the transactions described in 3(a) and (b) above.

Under the ITT Senior Executive Severance Pay Plan, executives would receive base salary after termination without cause for the following severance periods: Mr. Savi 12 months; Mr. Caprais 12 months; Ms. Marino 12 months; Mr. Makowiecki 52 weeks; and Mr. Barbon the severance benefits afforded by his status as a Dirigenti (executive level employee) under the Italy national labor contract, which is equal to 12 months of pay based on his average annual compensation over the past three years. In the event of termination following a change of control, all NEOs are covered under the Company’s ITT Senior Executive Change in Control Severance Pay Plan described elsewhere in this section and, under the terms of the plan, would be paid a lump sum payment equal

to the sum of (x) three (3) times the current annual base salary rate paid at the time of termination of employment, and (y) three (3) times the annual bonus awarded.

(2)

Unvested equity awards reflect the market value of stock based on the Company’s December 31, 2024 closing stock price of $142.88. The value of PSUs under Termination Not for Cause or With Good Reason After Change of Control is calculated using a payout of 123.3%, which is the greater of target payout and last year’s (2024) PSU payout. Termination provisions are set forth in the specific award agreements.

(3)

No additional ITT Supplemental Retirement Savings Plan payments are made in the event of voluntary or involuntary termination, or termination for cause. Amount reflects the additional cash payment representing Company contributions, which would be made following a change of control as described in the ITT Senior Executive Change in Control Severance Pay Plan.

(4)

Under the ITT Senior Executive Severance Pay Plan and the ITT Senior Executive Change in Control Severance Pay Plan, eligible executives will continue to receive subsidized healthcare benefits during the severance period for the first six months after termination without cause. Senior executives are eligible for up to one year of outplacement services with an estimated value of $30,000. As a Dirigenti employee (executive), Mr. Barbon’s estate is eligible for a payment of eight times his salary ($4,840,000) in the event of his death. The amounts for Mr. Barbon have been converted from Euros to U.S. Dollars using the 2024 average exchange rate of 1.1.

(5)

Values in this table show the full payments per the applicable plan documents under the potential termination scenarios. In the event of a change of control a “best net” provision would apply, which provides either an unreduced benefit or a reduction in payments sufficient to avoid triggering an excise tax, whichever is better after-tax.

CEO PAY RATIO

We are required to calculate and report a reasonable estimate of the ratio of the annual total compensation of our CEO to the median annual total compensation of our other employees. For 2024, we calculated the CEO Pay Ratio to be 332 times the median employee.

The following describes the process we used to identify the median employee in 2024.

The date used to determine the median employee was December 31, 2024. We used annual salary rate as the consistently applied measure to determine the median employee. To account for employees paid in currencies other than in U.S. dollars, we used currency exchange rates as of December 31, 2024 to convert their compensation into U.S. dollars. We started with approximately 10,300 full time, part-time and temporary employees who were paid directly by ITT or our subsidiaries, excluding employees of the kSARIA and Svanehøj businesses that were acquired during fiscal year 2024.

We then excluded all 509 of our employees in Indonesia, Poland, Venezuela, and Vietnam under an applicable exemption for limited numbers of non-U.S. employees. The excluded employees in Indonesia, Poland, Venezuela, and Vietnam represented less than 5% of our total employee population. No cost-of-living adjustments were utilized in identifying our median employee or calculating the annual total compensation.

We identified the median employee to be a full-time hourly employee located in the U.S. We then determined the annual total compensation of the median employee, which included actual annual salary, overtime and contributions to the employee’s 401(k) account.

COMPENSATION AND HUMAN CAPITAL COMMITTEE REPORT

ITT’s Compensation and Human Capital Committee is responsible for the overall design and governance of the Company’s executive compensation program, senior leadership development and talent management programs. The Compensation and Human Capital Committee’s primary objective is to establish a competitive executive compensation

program that clearly links executive compensation to business performance and shareholder return. The Compensation and Human Capital Committee considers and monitors appropriate risk factors in structuring compensation to discourage unnecessary or excessive risk-taking behaviors and encourage long-term value creation.

RECOMMENDATION REGARDING COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

In performing its governance function, with regard to the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the Compensation and Human Capital Committee relied on statements and information prepared by the Company’s management. It also relied on information provided by Pay Governance. The Compensation and Human Capital Committee reviewed and discussed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis included

in this Proxy Statement with management. Based on this review and discussion, the Compensation and Human Capital Committee recommended to the Company’s Board of Directors that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in the Company’s 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K and this Proxy Statement.

This report is furnished by the members of the Compensation and Human Capital Committee.

2024 NON-MANAGEMENT DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

The table below represents the 2024 compensation for our non-management directors. As discussed in more detail in the narrative following the table, all non-management directors receive the same cash fees and stock awards for their service, which consists of a $100,000 annual cash retainer and an annual RSU award with a value of $155,000, except for the following: Mr. Powers, as our independent Chairman during 2024, received an additional $62,500 cash payment and an additional RSU award with a value of $62,500; Mr. Berryman, as Audit Committee Chair during 2024, received an additional $22,500 cash payment; Ms. McDonald, as Compensation and Human Capital Committee Chair during 2024, received an additional $17,500 cash payment; and Mr. DeFosset, as the Nominating and Governance Committee Chair during 2024 received an additional $17,500 cash payment. As a management director, Mr. Savi does not receive compensation for Board service.

Compensation is paid to non-management directors in a lump sum following the annual meeting at which they are elected. Non-management directors who join the Board during the course of a year receive their compensation promptly following their election, in amounts that are pro-rated to reflect their partial year of service on the Board. For periods prior to 2020, our non-management directors were eligible to participate in the ITT Deferred Compensation Plan. Because of changes to the Plan described on page 61 , for periods after 2020, non-management directors may only choose to defer receipt of their equity retainer. The grant date fair value of stock awards granted to non-management directors in 2024 is provided in footnote 1 to the table below. Stock awards are composed of RSUs.

Ms. Chu’s award was granted on October 1, 2024. In addition to her May 15, 2024 award, Ms. Szafranski was granted an additional award on January 17, 2024. The grant date fair value of the RSUs granted on May 15, 2024 was based on the ITT stock closing price of $139.22. Non-management directors may elect to defer the receipt of their RSUs until a later date or when they leave the Board.

Ms. Chu joined the Board in October 2024. Reflects pro-rated award for her service from October 2024 to the 2025 Annual Meeting. The grant date fair value of the RSUs granted on October 1, 2024 was based on the ITT stock closing price of $147.86.

Outstanding stock awards include unvested RSUs granted under the 2011 Omnibus Incentive Plan and vested but deferred restricted shares and RSUs granted under the 2011 Omnibus Incentive Plan. RSUs granted to non-management directors vest one business day prior to the next annual meeting. Unvested RSUs do not earn dividends or carry voting rights while unvested, however dividend equivalents are accrued during this period and are paid out in cash following vesting of the award.

ITT reimburses directors for expenses they incur to travel to and from Board, committee and shareholder meetings and for other Company business-related expenses (including travel expenses of spouses if they are specifically invited to attend an event for appropriate business purposes).

NON-MANAGEMENT DIRECTOR STOCK OWNERSHIP GUIDELINES

ITT’s stock ownership guidelines currently provide for non-management directors to achieve stock ownership levels of five times the annual base cash retainer amount within five years of joining the Board. Non-management directors receive a portion of their retainer in RSUs, which are paid in shares when the RSUs vest. Non-management directors are required to hold

such shares until their total share ownership meets or exceeds the ownership guidelines. Both the guidelines, and compliance with the guidelines, are monitored periodically. All non-management directors with at least one full year of service on the Board own stock in the Company.

INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE

As permitted by its By-laws, ITT indemnifies its directors to the fullest extent permitted by law and maintains insurance to protect the directors from liabilities, including certain instances where ITT could not otherwise indemnify them. All directors may elect to participate in an optional accidental death and

dismemberment insurance plan that provides each of them with up to $1,000,000 of coverage. Non-management directors also are covered under a non-contributory life insurance policy that provides $100,000 of coverage.

HEDGING POLICY

Our directors are subject to the Company’s policy prohibiting hedging and speculative trading in and out of the Company’s securities, including short sales and leverage transactions, such as puts, calls, and listed and unlisted options, as described on page 23 .

use at the Annual Meeting to be held on May 21, 2025. The Annual Meeting will be held virtually via live webcast at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/ITT2025.

WHY DID I RECEIVE THESE PROXY MATERIALS?

Beginning on or about April 8, 2025, this Proxy Statement is being mailed or made available, as the case may be, to shareholders who were shareholders as of March 25, 2025, the record date, as part of the Board’s solicitation of proxies for the Annual Meeting, including any adjournment or postponement thereof.

You can vote if you owned shares of the Company’s common stock as of the close of business on March 25, 2025, the record date.

HOW DO I ATTEND THE VIRTUAL ANNUAL MEETING?

We have determined that the 2025 Annual Meeting will be held in a virtual meeting format only, via the Internet, with no physical in-person meeting. We believe the virtual meeting format affords our shareholders an opportunity for meaningful participation. In light of the virtual-only meeting format, you will not be able to attend the Annual Meeting in person. However, we will offer shareholders the same participation opportunities during the virtual Annual Meeting that were provided at our past in-person meetings. Shareholders may attend the Annual Meeting online, vote their shares electronically, and submit their questions during the meeting by visiting www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/ITT2025 and entering the 16-digit control number on their notice or proxy card. In order to

allow us to answer questions from as many shareholders as possible, each shareholder may submit a maximum of two questions. We ask that questions be succinct and cover only one topic per question. Questions from multiple shareholders on the same topic or that are otherwise related may be grouped and answered together to avoid repetition. You are encouraged to join the Annual Meeting 15 minutes before the start of the Annual Meeting to allow time to log-in and test your device’s audio system.

We encourage you to vote your proxy as soon as possible, even if you plan to attend the virtual Annual Meeting. Your vote matters.

telephone and Internet voting for beneficial owners will depend on the voting processes of your broker, bank or other holder of record. Therefore, the Company recommends you follow the voting instructions in the materials you receive.

If you vote by telephone or on the Internet, you do not need to return your proxy card.

BY MAIL

If you received your Annual Meeting materials by mail, you may complete, sign and date the proxy card or voting instruction card and return it in the prepaid envelope. Your vote must be received by 8:00 a.m. Eastern Time on May 21, 2025. If you are a shareholder of record and you return your signed proxy card but do not indicate your voting preferences, the persons named in the proxy card will vote the shares represented by that proxy as recommended by the Board.

DURING THE VIRTUAL ANNUAL MEETING

You may attend the Annual Meeting online, vote your shares electronically, and submit your questions during the meeting by

visiting www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/ITT2025 and entering the 16-digit control number on your notice or proxy card. You are encouraged to join the Annual Meeting 15 minutes before the start of the Annual Meeting to allow time to log-in and test your device’s audio system.

You may also be represented by another person at the Annual Meeting by executing a proper proxy designating that person. We encourage you to vote as soon as possible, even if you intend to attend the virtual Annual Meeting.

BY GRANTING A PROXY OR SUBMITTING VOTING INSTRUCTIONS

You may vote by granting a proxy or, for shares held in street name, by submitting voting instructions to your bank, broker or other holder of record.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A REGISTERED OWNER AND A BENEFICIAL OWNER?

If your shares are registered in your name with ITT’s transfer agent, Computershare, you are a “registered owner,” also sometimes referred to as the “shareholder of record” of those shares.

If your shares are held in a stock brokerage account or by a bank or other holder of record, you are considered the “beneficial owner” of those shares, which are also sometimes

referred to as being held in “street name,” and this Proxy Statement and any accompanying documents have been provided to you by your broker, bank or other holder of record. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker, bank or other holder of record how to vote your shares by using the voting instruction card or by following their instructions for voting by telephone or on the Internet.

HOW MANY VOTES DO I HAVE?

You have one vote for every share of common stock you own as of the record date.

WHY DOES THE BOARD SOLICIT PROXIES FROM SHAREHOLDERS?

Since it is impractical for all shareholders to attend the virtual Annual Meeting, the Board recommends you appoint the two

people named on the accompanying proxy card to act as your proxies at the Annual Meeting.

WHAT ITEMS ARE ON THE AGENDA FOR THE ANNUAL MEETING?

There are four formal items scheduled to be voted upon at the Annual Meeting as described in the Notice of 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. As of the date of this Proxy Statement, there are no other matters that the Board intends to present, or has reason to believe others will present, at the

Annual Meeting. If you have returned your signed and completed proxy card and other matters are properly presented for voting at the Annual Meeting, the people named on the accompanying proxy card (or, if applicable, their substitutes), will have the discretion to vote on those matters for you.

ITT INC. | 2025 PROXY STATEMENT

TABLE OF CONTENTS

				OTHER MATTERS VOTING INFORMATION
				OTHER MATTERS VOTING INFORMATION

HOW WILL MY SHARES BE VOTED AT THE ANNUAL MEETING?

At the Annual Meeting, the people named on the accompanying proxy card (or if applicable, their substitutes), will vote your shares as you instruct. If you sign your proxy card and return it without indicating how you would like to vote your shares, your shares will be voted as the Board recommends, which is set

forth under “Proxy Statement Executive Summary” on page 1 of this Proxy Statement. With respect to any other business as may properly come before the Annual Meeting, your shares will be voted in accordance with the judgment of the persons voting the proxy.

WHAT IF I CHANGE MY MIND?

As a holder of record of common stock, you may revoke or change your proxy at any time before the Annual Meeting by filing a notice of revocation or another signed, later-dated proxy card with the Corporate Secretary of the Company, at the Company’s principal executive offices. You may also revoke

your proxy by attending the virtual Annual Meeting and voting during the meeting. If you are a beneficial owner of common stock, you should follow the voting directions you will receive from your broker, bank or other holder of record along with the Company’s proxy solicitation materials.

HOW MANY SHARES OF ITT STOCK ARE OUTSTANDING?

As of March 25, 2025, the record date, 80,968,457 shares of our common stock were outstanding.

HOW MANY HOLDERS OF ITT OUTSTANDING SHARES MUST BE PRESENT TO HOLD THE ANNUAL MEETING?

In order to conduct business at the Annual Meeting, it is necessary to have a quorum. To have a quorum, shareholders entitled to cast a majority of votes at the Annual Meeting must be present at the virtual meeting or by proxy. The inspectors of election appointed for the Annual Meeting will separately

tabulate all affirmative and negative votes, abstentions and “broker non-votes.” Abstentions and broker non-votes are counted as present for purposes of determining the presence or absence of a quorum for the transaction of business.

WHAT IS A “BROKER NON-VOTE”?

If you are a beneficial owner whose shares are held of record by a broker, you must instruct the broker how to vote your shares with respect to certain items of business. If you do not provide voting instructions, your shares will not be voted on any item of business on which the broker does not have discretionary authority to vote. This is called a broker non-vote. In these cases, the broker will not be able to vote on those matters for which specific authorization is required under the rules of the NYSE.

If you are a beneficial owner whose shares are held of record by a broker, your broker has discretionary voting authority under NYSE rules to vote your shares on the ratification of Deloitte as

the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, even if the broker does not receive voting instructions from you. However, your broker does not have discretionary authority to vote without instructions from you on the election of directors or the advisory vote on the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers, and in each case a broker non-vote will occur and your shares will not be voted on these items of business.

If you hold shares of common stock through a broker, bank or other holder of record, follow the voting instructions you receive from that organization.

HOW MANY VOTES ARE REQUIRED TO ELECT DIRECTORS? HOW MANY VOTES ARE REQUIRED FOR OTHER AGENDA ITEMS TO PASS?

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

The Company’s By-laws provide in uncontested elections, a director nominee shall be elected by a majority of the votes cast by the shareholders represented at the virtual meeting or by proxy at the Annual Meeting. A “majority of the votes cast” means the number of votes cast “for” a director nominee must exceed the number of votes cast “against” that nominee (with abstentions and broker non-votes not counted as votes cast with respect to that director nominee). The By-laws further provide in uncontested elections, any director nominee who fails to be elected by a majority, but who is also a director at the time, shall promptly provide a written conditional resignation, as a holdover director, to the Chairman of the Board or the Corporate Secretary, and remain a director until a successor is elected and qualified. The Nominating and Governance Committee shall promptly consider the resignation and all relevant facts and circumstances concerning any vote and the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. After consideration, the Nominating and Governance Committee shall make a recommendation to the Board whether to accept or reject the tendered resignation, or whether other action should be taken. The Board will act on the Nominating and Governance Committee’s recommendation no later than its next regularly scheduled Board meeting (after certification of the shareholder vote) or within 90 days after certification of the shareholder vote, whichever is earlier, and the Board will promptly publicly

disclose its decision and the reasons for its decision. As discussed above, brokers (and many banks and other record holders of “street name” shares that follow the applicable NYSE voting rules for member brokers) do not have discretionary voting power with respect to director elections unless they have customer voting instructions. This means, without your voting instructions on this matter, a broker non-vote will occur because your broker (or bank or other holder of record) does not have the power to vote your shares on the election of directors. As a result, it is very important you return voting instructions relating to the election of directors to your broker, bank or other holder of record.

ALL OTHER MATTERS

The proposals relating to the selection of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm and the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers are each advisory in nature and non-binding.

For both of these proposals, the votes cast in favor of the proposal must exceed the votes cast against the proposal in order for the proposal to be deemed approved. If you abstain from voting or if there is a broker non-vote on any matter, your abstention or broker non-vote will not affect the outcome of such vote, because abstentions and broker non-votes are not considered to be votes cast.

HOW DO I VOTE IF I AM A PARTICIPANT IN THE ITT RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN?

If you participate in the ITT Retirement Savings Plan, your plan trustee will vote the ITT shares credited to your ITT Retirement Savings Plan account in accordance with your voting instructions, except as otherwise provided in accordance with the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”). The trustee will vote the shares on your behalf because you are the beneficial owner, not the shareholder of record, of the shares held by the ITT Retirement Savings Plan. The trustee votes the shares held in your ITT Retirement Savings Plan account for which no voting instructions are received (“Undirected Shares”) in the same proportion as the shares for which the trustee receives voting instructions, except as otherwise provided in accordance with ERISA. Under the ITT Retirement Savings Plan, participants are “named fiduciaries” to the extent of their authority to direct the voting of

ITT shares credited to their savings plan accounts and their proportionate share of Undirected Shares. By submitting voting instructions by telephone, the Internet or by signing and returning the voting instruction card, you direct the trustee of the ITT Retirement Savings Plan to vote these shares, at the virtual meeting or by proxy at the Annual Meeting.

ITT Retirement Savings Plan participants should mail their confidential voting instruction card to Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge”), acting as tabulation agent, or vote by telephone or Internet. Instructions from ITT Retirement Savings Plan Participants must be received by Broadridge no later than 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on May 16, 2025.

HOW MANY SHARES ARE HELD BY PARTICIPANTS IN THE ITT RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN?

As of March 25, 2025, the record date, the ITT Retirement Savings Plan held 104,823 shares of common stock

(approximately 0.13% of the outstanding shares). Empower Trust Company is trustee of the ITT Retirement Savings Plan.

WHO COUNTS THE VOTES? IS MY VOTE CONFIDENTIAL?

In accordance with the By-laws, the Company will appoint two Inspectors of Election, who may be officers or employees of the Company, and they will tabulate the votes. The Inspectors

of Election monitor the voting and also certify whether the votes of shareholders are kept in confidence in compliance with ITT’s confidential voting policy.

WHO WILL PAY FOR THE COST OF THIS PROXY SOLICITATION?

ITT will pay the cost of soliciting proxies. Proxies may be solicited on our behalf by our directors, officers or employees virtually or by telephone, mail, electronic transmission and/or facsimile transmission. Innisfree M&A Incorporated,

501 Madison Avenue, New York, NY 10022, has been retained to assist in soliciting proxies for a fee of $15,000, plus distribution costs and other costs and expenses.

WHAT IS “HOUSEHOLDING” AND HOW DOES IT AFFECT ME?

The Company has adopted a procedure approved by the SEC called “householding.” Under this procedure, beneficial shareholders who have the same address and last name and who do not participate in electronic delivery or Internet access of proxy materials will receive only one copy of the Company’s Annual Report and Proxy Statement unless one or more of these shareholders notifies the Company that they wish to continue receiving individual copies. This procedure is designed to reduce duplicate mailings and save significant printing and processing costs, as well as natural resources.

Each shareholder who participates in householding will continue to receive a separate proxy card or Notice. Your

consent to householding is perpetual unless you revoke it. You may revoke your consent at any time by contacting Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc, either by calling toll-free at 1-866-540-7095 , or by writing to: Broadridge, Householding Department, 51 Mercedes Way, Edgewood, NY 11717. You will be removed from the householding program within 30 days of receipt of your instructions at which time you will then be sent separate copies of the documents. If a shareholder receives multiple copies of ITT’s proxy materials and annual reports, he or she may request householding in the future by contacting our Investor Relations department.

WHY DID I RECEIVE A “NOTICE OF INTERNET AVAILABILITY OF PROXY MATERIALS” BUT NO PROXY MATERIALS?

We distribute our proxy materials to certain shareholders by giving notice to those shareholders that they may access their proxy materials on the Internet. This so-called “Notice and Access” approach, which is permitted by SEC rules, conserves natural resources and reduces our costs of printing and distributing the proxy materials, while providing a convenient

method of accessing the materials and voting to shareholders. On April 8, 2025, we mailed a “Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials” to participating shareholders, containing instructions on how to access the proxy materials on the Internet.

HOW DOES A SHAREHOLDER PROPOSE MATTERS FOR CONSIDERATION AT THE 2026 ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS?

PROPOSALS TO BE INCLUDED IN OUR PROXY STATEMENT

Under SEC rules, if a shareholder wants us to include a proposal in our proxy statement for presentation at our 2026 annual meeting of shareholders, the proposal must be received by us by December 9, 2025. Any such proposal must comply with Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act.

PROPOSALS TO BE BROUGHT BEFORE THE 2026 ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

A shareholder seeking to introduce an item of business at the 2026 annual meeting of shareholders must comply with the procedures set forth in our By-laws. If you intend to propose an item of business to be presented at our 2026 annual meeting of shareholders, you must notify us of your intention, in writing, on

or after December 9, 2025, but not later than January 8, 2026. In the event the date of the 2026 annual meeting of shareholders is changed by more than 30 days from the anniversary date of the Annual Meeting, such notice must be received no earlier than 120 calendar days prior to the 2026 annual meeting and not later than 90 calendar days prior to the 2026 annual meeting, or, if later, 10 calendar days following the date on which public announcement of the date of the 2026 annual meeting is first made.

For any special meeting of shareholders, the item of business must be received no earlier than 120 calendar days nor later than 90 calendar days prior to the date of the special meeting, or, if later, 10 calendar days following the date on which the public announcement of the date of the special meeting is first made.

HOW DOES A SHAREHOLDER NOMINATE DIRECTORS FOR THE 2026 ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS?

DIRECTOR NOMINATIONS FOR INCLUSION IN OUR PROXY STATEMENT

In February 2016, we amended our By-laws to implement “proxy access,” which allows a shareholder or group of shareholders meeting certain conditions to nominate directors for election at annual meetings of shareholders using our proxy statement. This provision allows a shareholder, or group of up to 20 shareholders, to nominate up to two director candidates or, if greater, up to 20% of the number of directors then serving 3% of our outstanding common stock measured as of the date we receive the nomination. The number of director candidates who may be nominated under our proxy access By-law will be

reduced by the number of director nominations made under our advance notice By-law, as described in the following section.

If you intend to nominate a director for election at the 2026 annual meeting of shareholders using our proxy access By-law, you must submit the nomination, along with the other materials required by our By-laws, on or after November 9, 2025, but not later than December 9, 2025.

Note that any such nominations will not be included in the Company’s proxy materials.

WHAT INFORMATION MUST I SUBMIT WITH A PROPOSAL OR NOMINATION?

A shareholder’s submission of a proposal or director nomination must include information specified in our By-laws concerning the proposal or nomination, as the case may be, and information as to the shareholder’s ownership of common stock. Any person considering submission of a proposal for an item of business or a nomination to be considered at a shareholder meeting should carefully review our By-laws. We will not entertain any proposals or nominations at the 2026 annual meeting of shareholders that do not meet these requirements. The By-laws are available upon request, free of charge, from ITT Inc., 100 Washington Boulevard, 6th Floor, Stamford, CT 06902, Attention: Corporate Secretary. The By-laws were also filed as Exhibit 3.2 to the Annual Report on Form 10-K that we filed with the SEC on February 15, 2023, which is available, free of charge, on the SEC’s website, www.sec.gov .

Nominations of directors and notices relating thereto must meet all other qualifications and requirements of the Company’s Corporate Governance Principles, the committee charters and Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act. Any shareholder nominees will be evaluated by the Nominating and Governance Committee of the Board using the same standards as it uses for all other director nominees. These standards are discussed in further detail elsewhere in this Proxy Statement under the heading of “Directors’ Qualification and Selection Process.” In addition to satisfying the foregoing requirements, to comply with universal proxy rules, shareholders who intend to solicit proxies in support of director nominees other than the Board’s nominees must provide notice that sets forth the information required by our By-laws and Rule 14a-19 under the Exchange Act.

WHERE SHOULD I SEND A SHAREHOLDER PROPOSAL OR DIRECTOR NOMINATION FOR THE 2026 ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS?

If you intend to submit a proposal or director nomination, you must send the proposal or nomination, along with all information required by our By-laws, to our principal executive offices at: ITT Inc., 100 Washington Boulevard, 6th Floor, Stamford, CT 06902, Attention: Corporate Secretary. We strongly encourage any shareholder interested in submitting a proposal or director nomination to contact our Corporate Secretary in advance of the above deadlines to discuss the

proposal, and shareholders may want to consult knowledgeable counsel with regard to the detailed requirements of applicable securities laws and the Company’s By-laws. Submitting a shareholder proposal or nomination does not guarantee we will include it in our Proxy Statement. The Chairman of the Annual Meeting may refuse to allow the transaction of any business, or to acknowledge the nomination of any person, not made in compliance with the foregoing procedures.

The number of shares beneficially owned by each non-management director or executive officer has been determined under the rules of the SEC, which provide beneficial ownership includes any shares as to which a person has sole or shared voting or dispositive power, and any shares which the person would have the right to acquire beneficial ownership of within 60 days through the exercise of any stock option or other right. Unless otherwise indicated, each non-management director or executive officer has sole dispositive and voting power, or shares those powers with his or her spouse. No directors or executive officers have pledged any shares of common stock.

REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING INFORMATION

This Proxy Statement and other publicly available documents may include forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Securities Exchange Act of 1933, as amended, and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. We intend such forward-looking statements to qualify for the safe harbor from liability established by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements are not historical facts, but rather represent only a belief regarding future events based on current expectations, estimates, assumptions and projections about our business, future financial results and the industry in which we operate, and other legal, regulatory and economic developments. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, future strategic plans and other statements that describe the company’s business strategy, outlook, objectives, plans, intentions or goals, and any discussion of future events and future operating or financial performance. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from those anticipated and disclosed within this Proxy Statement, including those risks described in the section titled “Risk Factors” set forth in Part I, Item 1A of our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K and in our other SEC filings.

We use words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “future,” “guidance,” “project,” “intend,”

“may,” “plan,” “potential,” “project,” “should,” “target,” “will,” and other similar expressions to identify such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are uncertain and, by their nature, many are inherently unpredictable and outside of ITT’s control, and are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in, or reasonably inferred from, such forward-looking statements.

Where in any forward-looking statement we express an expectation or belief as to future results or events, such expectation or belief is based on current plans and expectations of our management, expressed in good faith and believed to have a reasonable basis. However, we cannot provide any assurance that the expectation or belief will occur or that anticipated results will be achieved or accomplished.

APPENDIX A

KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS AND NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

ITT reviews a variety of key performance indicators including revenue, operating income and margin, earnings per share, order growth, and backlog. 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, respectively, as revenue and orders, excluding the impacts of foreign currency fluctuations, acquisitions, and divestitures that may or may not qualify as discontinued operations. Current year activity from acquisitions is excluded for twelve months following the closing date of acquisition. The period-over-period change resulting from foreign currency fluctuations is estimated using a fixed exchange rate for both the current and prior periods. Prior year revenue and orders are adjusted to exclude activity during the comparable period for twelve months post-closing date for divestitures that do not qualify as discontinued operations. We believe that reporting organic revenue and organic orders provide useful information to investors by helping identify underlying trends in our business and facilitating comparisons of our revenue performance with prior and future periods and to our peers.

Adjusted Operating Income is defined as operating income adjusted to exclude special items that include, but are not

limited to, restructuring, certain asset impairment charges, certain acquisition- and divestiture-related impacts, and unusual or infrequent operating items. Special items represent charges or credits that impact current results, which management views as unrelated to the Company’s ongoing operations and performance. Adjusted Operating Margin is defined as adjusted 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 performance in relation to our competitors.

Adjusted Income from Continuing Operations is defined as income from continuing operations attributable to ITT Inc. adjusted to exclude special items that include, but are not limited to, restructuring, certain asset impairment charges, certain acquisition- and divestiture-related impacts, income tax settlements or adjustments, and unusual or infrequent items. Special items represent 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. Adjusted Income from Continuing Operations per Diluted Share (Adjusted EPS) is defined as adjusted income from continuing operations divided by diluted weighted average common shares outstanding. We believe that adjusted income from continuing operations and adjusted EPS are 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.

Free Cash Flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures. Free Cash Flow Margin is defined as free cash flow divided by revenue. We believe that free cash flow and free cash flow margin provide useful information to investors as it provides insight into a primary cash flow metric used by management to monitor and evaluate cash flows generated by our operations.
