___________________________________________________________________________________________
MELBOURNE, Fla., July 31, 2019 L3Harris Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:LHX) reported fiscal 2019 fourth quarter and full-year results for Harris Corporation on a standalone basis, as the merger with L3 Technologies, Inc. was completed on June 29, 2019. Fiscal 2019 fourth quarter revenue was $1.9 billion, up 12% compared with the prior year. GAAP earnings per diluted share from continuing operations (EPS) increased 28% to $2.21, and non-GAAP EPS1 increased 39% to $2.44. Net income increased 26% to $268 million, and adjusted earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT1) increased 17% to $377 million with margin expansion of 80 basis points (bps) to 20.2%.
"We ended the year on a high note with strong fourth quarter results capping an exceptional 2019 in which we outperformed on all guidance metrics," said William M. Brown, chairman and chief executive officer. "The company achieved double-digit revenue growth for the quarter and the year with strong growth across all segments and ended the year with record profit, EPS and free cash flow.”
“We successfully completed the merger with L3 and hit the ground running, announcing on day one four new mission-focused segments and a consolidated headquarters that combine the top talent from both companies. These initial steps mark good progress towards leveraging our increased scale, fostering a culture of operational excellence and achieving cost synergies that will position us well for continued growth and robust free cash flow, which we will deploy through increased dividends and share repurchases."

Revenue increased 12% for the quarter and 10% for fiscal 2019, with continued strong growth across all three segments. GAAP and non-GAAP EPS3 growth exceeded 28% for the quarter and for fiscal 2019 from higher volume, strong operational performance and a lower tax rate, partially offset by mix and higher investments. In addition, GAAP EPS growth for the quarter was partially offset by merger deal and integration costs, and for the year reflected prior period items reconciled in the attached financial tables. Fiscal 2019 adjusted EBIT3 margin expanded 90 bps to 19.8% and book-to-bill was 1.10.

Communication Systems order momentum continued in the fourth quarter, with double-digit orders growth and a book-to-bill greater than 1.0 in each of the businesses.
Tactical orders grew 23% driven by broad-based U.S. and international modernization initiatives and continued expansion into airborne adjacencies. Key awards included:
850 HMS Manpack radios, the second low rate production order under the U.S. Army's $12.7 billion HMS Manpack IDIQ
$54 million order to provide handheld and manpack radios in support of a force modernization program in western Europe
$51 million order to provide multi-channel manpacks, next-generation HF and Falcon III handheld radios to a central European nation supporting increased interoperability between U.S. and NATO forces
$19 million initial order from Australia to provide next-generation HF radios as part of a multi-year modernization program
$24 million prototype phase award for airborne HF radios supporting U.S. Air Force fleet modernization and expanding the company's position on airborne platforms
Public Safety orders grew 30% on increased demand from state and federal agencies, including a $51 million order to upgrade public safety infrastructure for the Utah Communications Authority and a $26 million order from the U.S. Army National Guard as it continues to adopt the company's converged radios.
Full-year segment revenue increased 14% from strong growth in all three businesses with an overall book-to-bill of 1.10. Tactical revenue grew 14%, with DoD up 31% and international up 3%, and funded backlog increased by 16% to $1.1 billion. Segment operating margin expanded 30 bps to 30.0%.

Fourth quarter revenue increased 14% from sustained strong growth on long-term platforms – F-35, F/A-18 and F-16, partially offset by the UAE Emirates Land Tactical System program transition timing. Operating income grew 22% to $144 million, and margin expanded 120 bps to 19.8%, driven by higher volume and strong operational performance.
Harris continued to strengthen its position in avionics and electronic warfare. The company received a $340 million award for release systems and an additional $125 million in funding for avionics components on the F-35 platform in



support of LRIP 12-14. Harris also received a $72 million production order to deliver upgraded countermeasure electronic warfare systems for the B-52 platform.
In addition, the U.K. Ministry of Defence (MOD) exercised a contract option worth $46 million for the company's T7™ robots to support explosive ordnance disposal missions. This award follows the successful testing and delivery of initial T7™ robots under the previously awarded $63 million U.K. MOD contract.
Full year segment revenue increased 9% with a book-to-bill of 1.14 and operating margin expanded 100 bps to 19.3%.

Fourth quarter revenue increased 8%, as double-digit growth from classified programs, driven by small satellites, exquisite systems and next-generation technology programs, was partially offset by lower revenue from environmental programs. Operating income increased 16% to $94 million, and margin expanded 120 bps to 17.3% from strong program execution.
Order momentum remained strong on classified programs as the company continued to leverage its position as partner of choice with long-standing customers and received several key awards in the quarter, including $48 million of additional funding for exquisite space systems as well as a $33 million award from the U.S. Air Force under the SENSOR program for missile warning, missile defense and space surveillance missions, bringing the program's inception-to-date contract value to over $2 billion.
In addition, funding support continued for key environmental programs, with an award from the U.S. Department of Commerce to monitor weather satellite transmission interference as well as an increase in scope on the GOES-R ground program announced in the third quarter.
Full-year segment revenue increased 8% with a book-to-bill of 1.03. Operating income increased 8% and operating margin expanded 20 bps to 17.5%.

year 2019, in each case excluding cash flow for capital expenditures and merger deal and integration costs; and operating cash flow for the fourth quarter and fiscal 2018, in each case excluding cash flow for capital expenditures, and in the case of operating cash flow for fiscal 2018, adjusted for the voluntary contribution to qualified pension plans in the third quarter of fiscal 2018. The amounts included in the unaudited combined L3 and Harris historical financial information are non-GAAP financial measures. A “non-GAAP financial measure” is generally defined as a numerical measure of a company’s historical or future performance that excludes or includes amounts, or is subject to adjustments, so as to be different from the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). L3Harris management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, when considered together with the GAAP financial measures, provide information that is useful to investors in understanding period-over-period operating results separate and apart from items that may, or could, have a disproportionately positive or negative impact on results in any particular period. L3Harris management also believes that these non-GAAP financial measures enhance the ability of investors to analyze L3Harris business trends and to understand L3Harris performance. In addition, L3Harris may utilize non-GAAP financial measures as guides in forecasting, budgeting and long-term planning processes and to measure operating performance for some management compensation purposes. Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP.

Basis of Preparation of Unaudited Combined L3 and Harris Historical Financial Information
As supplemental information for investors, L3Harris has provided unaudited combined L3 and Harris historical financial information, which combines L3 and Harris historical operating results as if the businesses had been operated together on the basis of the newly announced four segment structure during prior periods, but excluding the operating results of Harris’ night vision business and L3's divested businesses, allocating Harris’ corporate department expense to the new segment structure and excluding Harris historical deal amortization (primarily related to Exelis) (the “Supplemental Unaudited Combined Financial Information”). L3Harris intends to exclude all deal amortization (including L3 historical deal amortization) for future periods. The new segment structure and the Supplemental Unaudited Combined Financial Information have no impact on L3’s or Harris’ previously reported consolidated balance sheets or statements of income, comprehensive income, cash flows or equity.

For avoidance of doubt, the Supplemental Unaudited Combined Financial Information also was not intended to be, and was not, prepared on a basis consistent with the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information in Exhibit 99.7 to L3Harris’ Current Report on Form 8-K filed July 1, 2019 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Pro Forma 8-K Filing”), which provides the pro forma financial information required by Item 9.01(b) of Form 8-K. For instance, the Supplemental Unaudited Combined Financial Information does not give effect to the L3Harris merger under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standard Codification Topic 805, Business Combinations (“ASC Topic 805”), with Harris treated as the legal and accounting acquirer, and was not prepared to reflect the merger as if it occurred on the first day of any of the fiscal periods presented. The Supplemental Unaudited Combined Financial Information has not been adjusted to give effect to pro forma events that are (1) directly attributable to the merger, (2) factually supportable, or (3) expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results of L3 and Harris. More specifically, other than excluding the operating results of Harris’ night vision business and L3's divested businesses, allocating Harris’ corporate department expense to the new segment structure and excluding Harris historical deal amortization (primarily related to Exelis), the Supplemental Unaudited Combined Financial Information does not reflect the types of pro forma adjustments set forth in Exhibit 99.7 to the Pro Forma 8-K Filing. Consequently, the Supplemental Unaudited Combined Financial Information is intentionally different from, but does not supersede, the pro forma financial information set forth in Exhibit 99.7 to the Pro Forma 8-K Filing.

In addition, the Supplemental Unaudited Combined Financial Information does not purport to indicate the results that actually would have been obtained had the L3 and Harris businesses been operated together on the basis of the new segment structure during the periods presented, or which may be realized in the future.

Amounts Adjusted for Certain Non-Recurring Items - The Supplemental Unaudited Combined Financial Information includes amounts adjusted for certain non-recurring items, including revenue, net income, net income margin, income from continuing operations and income from continuing operations per diluted common share, in each case as adjusted to exclude merger-related deal and integration costs and other non-recurring items previously reported by L3 or Harris, as applicable, for the prior periods as set forth in Tables 8 to 10 and the related notes. Such amounts should be viewed in addition to, and not in lieu of, revenue, net income, net income margin, income from continuing operations and income from continuing operations per diluted common share and other financial measures on an unadjusted basis. Tables 8 to 10 and the related notes provide a reconciliation of adjusted amounts with the most directly comparable unadjusted amount. L3Harris management believes that these adjusted amounts, when considered together with the unadjusted amounts, provide information that is useful to investors in understanding period-over-period operating results separate and apart from items that may, or could, have a disproportionate positive or negative impact on results in any particular period. L3Harris management also believes that these adjusted amounts enhance the ability of investors to analyze trends in L3Harris’ business and to understand L3Harris’ performance. In addition, L3Harris may utilize adjusted amounts as guides in forecasting, budgeting and long-term planning processes and to measure operating performance for some management compensation purposes. Adjusted amounts should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, unadjusted amounts.

L3HARRIS TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
FY '19 Fourth Quarter Summary
RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES AND REGULATION G DISCLOSURE

To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), we provide additional measures of income from continuing operations per diluted common share, net income, net income margin and net cash provided by operating activities, adjusted to exclude certain costs, charges, expenses and losses or other amounts. L3Harris management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, when considered together with the GAAP financial measures, provide information that is useful to investors in understanding period-over-period operating results separate and apart from items that may, or could, have a disproportionately positive or negative impact on results in any particular period. L3Harris management also believes that these non-GAAP financial measures enhance the ability of investors to analyze L3Harris’ business trends and to understand L3Harris’ performance. In addition, L3Harris may utilize non-GAAP financial measures as guides in its forecasting, budgeting, and long-term planning processes and to measure operating performance for some management compensation purposes. Any analysis of non-GAAP financial measures should be used only in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures with the most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP follows:
