Full-Year Revenue and Organic Growth
Total revenue grew 8% in 2025 with 5% organic growth, demonstrating broad top-line expansion across the company.
Earnings and Margin Expansion
Full-year EPS grew 14% (18% excluding a $0.16 Wolverine divestiture impact and $0.03 dilution from the December equity offering). Operating income rose 11% and adjusted operating margin expanded 40 basis points to 18.2%.
Strong Q4 Performance — Record Scale
In Q4, ITT delivered over $1 billion in both orders and revenue for the first time. Q4 orders grew 15% (9% organic) and revenue grew 13% (9% organic). Q4 operating margin expanded 90 basis points to 18.4%, and EPS was $1.85 (up 23% excluding equity raise dilution).
Free Cash Flow and Capital Allocation
Free cash flow exceeded $550 million (up 27% year-over-year), free cash flow margin improved to 14% (up 200 basis points), cash conversion was well over 100%, and the company deployed $500 million to share repurchases during 2025.
Orders, Backlog and Book-to-Bill Strength
Orders grew 10% to $4.0 billion (5% organic), and backlog ended at $1.9 billion (up 18% year-over-year). Management highlighted book-to-bill greater than one at SPX Flow and robust backlog growth there as well.
Successful Integration and Acquisitions Driving Margin
Recent acquisitions (Svanehøj and Kessler) expanded margins versus prior year; Svanehøj grew >50% in Q4 and Kessler contributed meaningfully. Management expects SPX Flow to be accretive (net single-digit EPS accretion for full-year 2026) and outlined ~$80 million of synergies over three years (G&A, procurement, footprint opportunities).
Operational Improvements and Quality & Safety Gains
Operational KPIs improved: IP reduced recordable incidents by 50%; IP had 20% fewer quality claims; CCT achieved a 60% TPM reduction; on-time delivery in IP improved 600 basis points and a specific NC pump product line improved 2,700 basis points in December—all contributing to margin expansion.
Segment Highlights and End-Market Wins
Notable wins include: CCT orders up 40% organic in Q4 (connectors +20%, controls +70%, aftermarket +35%), IP pump projects up 30% organically, KONI defense orders grew >70% in 2025 and approach $15M in orders, and Friction OE outperformed global vehicle production by 400 basis points with aftermarket +9%.
