ITT Industries reports increase in 3Q revenue
WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. – Third quarter 2004 net income for marine industry supplier ITT Industries, Inc. was $109.8 million, even with the period last year, and up 21 percent when excluding the net benefit of special items recorded in the third quarter 2003, the company said in a press release today.
Diluted earnings per share for the quarter were $1.16. Third quarter revenue was $1.67 billion, up 21 percent due to increased sales in all business units, the completion of recent acquisitions and the positive impact of foreign currency translation.
