Exhibit 99.1

ITW Delivers $1.97 Earnings per Share, up 17%

Total revenue was $3.8 billion, an increase of 7%; organic growth was 4%
Operating margin was 24.3%, an increase of 10 bps, 50 bps excluding 2017 legal settlement
Operating income was up 7% to $932 million, up 9% excluding the legal settlement
Full year guidance adjusted to reflect impact of currency translation in the second half 2018 based on current exchange rates. Expect EPS in the range of $7.50 to $7.70 per share, up 15% versus prior year at the midpoint

GLENVIEW, Ill., July 23, 2018 - Illinois Tool Works Inc. (NYSE: ITW) today reported second quarter 2018 GAAP earnings of $1.97 per share, a 17 percent increase compared to the year ago period. As previously disclosed, the company recorded an EPS benefit of $0.03 per share related to a legal settlement in the second quarter of 2017. Excluding this item, earnings per share increased 19 percent. In addition, currency had a $0.03 negative impact to earnings per share versus guidance provided for the second quarter.

“ITW delivered another strong quarter with good growth momentum and excellent operational execution,” said E. Scott Santi, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “The company’s ability to overcome near-term inflationary and currency challenges and generate four percent organic revenue growth, core operating earnings growth of nine percent, core EPS growth of 19 percent, and continue to expand margins is a direct result of the strength and resilience of the ITW Business Model and the dedicated team of ITW professionals around the world who leverage it to serve our customers and execute our strategy with excellence each and every day.”

Revenue was up seven percent with four percent organic growth. Operating income was $932 million in the quarter, an increase of seven percent, and operating margin was 24.3 percent, an increase of 10 basis points. Excluding the second quarter 2017 legal settlement, operating income was up nine percent and operating margin increased 50 basis points. Enterprise Initiatives contributed 110 basis points of margin improvement, more than offsetting 70 basis points of unfavorable price/cost impact. Year-to-date on a dollar-for-dollar basis, pricing actions essentially offset the impact of raw material cost inflation.

All seven of the company’s business segments delivered positive year on year organic revenue growth, led by Welding with 13 percent. Organic growth of four percent was driven by five percent growth in North America.

After-tax return on invested capital was 28.7 percent, an improvement of 440 basis points, of which 400 basis points resulted from new U.S tax rules and regulations.

In the second quarter, Free Cash Flow was $533 million, an increase of 38 percent. The company repurchased $500 million of its own shares.

2018 Guidance
Based on current foreign exchange rates, second half earnings per share are projected to have a $0.12 negative currency impact versus prior guidance. ITW adjusted 2018 full-year EPS guidance to reflect this impact, and expects earnings in a range of $7.50 to $7.70 per share, or 15 percent growth at the midpoint. The company also revised its outlook for operating margin to a range of 24 to 25 percent reflecting price/cost related margin dilution. The company continues to expect to recover the impact of raw material cost increases through price actions on a dollar for dollar basis for the full year and as a result, expects the full year price/cost impact on the company’s earnings per share to be neutral (as it was in the first half of 2018). The company continues to expect organic growth of three to four percent, free cash flow at or above 100 percent of net income, and an effective tax rate of approximately 25 percent for the year. The company now expects to repurchase $1.5 billion of its own shares in 2018.

For the third quarter 2018, the company expects earnings to be in the range of $1.80 to $1.90 per share, with revenue up two to three percent and organic growth of three to four percent. As a reminder, prior year third quarter GAAP EPS of $1.85 included a $0.14 benefit from a legal settlement. Excluding this item, adjusted EPS was $1.71 per share.Non-GAAP Measures

The 2017 results have been restated to reflect the adoption of new accounting guidance in 2018 related to the presentation of net periodic benefit costs. The adoption of this guidance resulted in the presentation of $9 million, $4 million and $2 million of other net periodic benefit income in Other income (expense) rather than in Operating Income for the full year 2017, first half 2017 and second quarter 2017, respectively, with no change in Net Income.

(2) 
The tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2018 represents the estimated effective tax rate for the full year of 2018. The tax rate for the twelve months ended December 31, 2017 excludes the impact of the $658 million discrete tax charge related to the 2017 U.S. tax legislation.

ROIC for the three months ended June 30, 2018 was 28.7%, an improvement of 440 basis points, of which 400 basis points related to the new U.S. tax rules and regulations. ROIC for the six months ended June 30, 2018 was 28.3%, an improvement of 430 basis points, of which 380 basis points related to the new U.S. tax rules and regulations.

GAAP to NON-GAAP RECONCILIATIONS (UNAUDITED)


IMPACT OF THE "TAX CUTS AND JOBS ACT" AND LEGAL SETTLEMENT ON 2017 RESULTS

Following the passing of the “Tax Cuts and Jobs Act” in the U.S., ITW recorded a one-time tax charge of $658 million in the fourth quarter of 2017. Additionally, as previously disclosed, ITW entered into a confidential legal settlement, resulting in a favorable one-time benefit of $95 million, of which $15 million was recognized in the second quarter of 2017 and $80 million was recognized in the third quarter of 2017. The following schedules illustrate the impact of these items on the Company’s full year, first half and second quarter 2017 financial results:

The 2017 results have been restated to reflect the adoption of new accounting guidance in 2018 related to the presentation of net periodic benefit costs. The adoption of this guidance resulted in the presentation of $9 million, $4 million and $2 million of other net periodic benefit income in Other income (expense) rather than in Operating Income for the full year 2017, first half 2017 and second quarter 2017, respectively, with no change in Net Income.
