Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Standards | Note A — Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Standards Basis of Presentation The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) include the accounts of L3Harris Technologies, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. As used in these Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) (these “Notes”), the terms “L3Harris,” “Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” refer to L3Harris Technologies, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. Intracompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation. The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) have been prepared by L3Harris, without an audit, in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, such interim financial statements do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and equity in conformity with GAAP for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, such interim financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and equity for the periods presented therein. The results for the quarter and three quarters ended October 2, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year or any subsequent period. The balance sheet at January 3, 2020 has been derived from our audited financial statements, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for annual financial statements. We provide complete, audited financial statements in our Transition Report on Form 10-KT for the fiscal transition period from June 29, 2019 to January 3, 2020 (our “Fiscal Transition Period Form 10-KT”), which includes information and footnotes required by the rules and regulations of the SEC. The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Report”) should be read in conjunction with the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Fiscal Transition Period Form 10-KT. Amounts contained in this Report may not always add to totals due to rounding. L3Harris Merger See Note B — Business Combination in these Notes for information related to the business combination in which Harris Corporation (“Harris”) and L3 Technologies, Inc. (“L3”) combined their respective businesses in an all-stock merger that resulted in our combined Company, L3Harris Technologies, Inc. Due to the L3Harris Merger (as defined in Note B — Business Combination in these Notes), the three quarters ended October 2, 2020 reflect the results of the combined Company, while the three quarters ended September 27, 2019 reflect the results of only Harris operating businesses for the two quarters ended June 28, 2019 and the results of the combined Company for the quarter ended September 27, 2019. Organizational Structure We implemented a new organizational structure effective on June 29, 2019, which resulted in changes to our operating segments, which are also reportable segments and referred to as our business segments. During the quarter ended April 3, 2020, we further adjusted our segment reporting to better align our businesses and transferred two businesses between our Integrated Mission Systems and Space and Airborne Systems segments. The historical results, discussion and presentation of our business segments as set forth in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) and these Notes reflect the impact of these changes for all periods presented in order to present segment information on a comparable basis. There is no impact on our previously reported consolidated statements of income, balance sheets, statements of cash flows or statements of equity resulting from these changes. Divestitures See Note C — Business Divestitures and Assets Sales in these Notes for information regarding the following and other divestitures by us in 2019 and 2020: the divestiture of the Harris Night Vision business completed on September 13, 2019; the divestiture of the Security & Detection Systems and MacDonald Humfrey Automation solutions business completed on May 4, 2020; the divestiture of the Applied Kilovolts and Analytical Instrumentation business completed on May 15, 2020; and the divestiture of the EOTech business completed on July 31, 2020. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) and these Notes and related disclosures. These estimates and assumptions are based on experience and other information available prior to issuance of the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) and these Notes. Materially different results can occur as circumstances change and additional information becomes known. Significant Accounting Policies Update There have been no material changes to our significant accounting policies described in our Fiscal Transition Period Form 10-KT, except as described in “Adoption of New Accounting Standards” below. Adoption of New Accounting Standards Effective January 3, 2020, we adopted Accounting Standards Update 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments on a modified retrospective basis. The new standard replaces the existing impairment model, under which impairment of financial instruments, including accounts receivable and contract assets, is recognized when it becomes probable a loss has been incurred, with a model that requires recognition of expected credit losses over the estimated life of an asset at inception and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. Adopting this standard did not have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or equity.
