BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | NOTE A: BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Principles of Consolidation The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of L3Harris Technologies, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. As used in these notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (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. The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared by L3Harris in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the rules and regulations of the U.S. 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 and are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year or any subsequent period. In the opinion of management, such interim financial statements reflect all adjustments (including 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 balance sheet at December 30, 2022 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. The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with Part II: Item 7. 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 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2022 (our “Fiscal 2022 Form 10-K”). Business Realignment. Effective for fiscal 2023, which began December 31, 2022, we adjusted our reporting to better align our businesses and transferred our Agile Development Group (“ADG”) business from our Integrated Mission Systems (“IMS”) segment to our Space & Airborne Systems (“SAS”) segment. The historical results, discussion and presentation of our business segments as set forth in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements 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 operations, balance sheets, statements of cash flows or statements of equity resulting from these changes. See Note G: Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets and Note O: Business Segment Information in these Notes for further information. Acquisition of Aerojet Rocketdyne Holdings, Inc. (“AJRD”) and New Business Segment. On July 28, 2023 we completed the acquisition of AJRD. Upon completion of the acquisition, we established a new reportable segment, Aerojet Rocketdyne (“AR”). The operations of AJRD are reported in the newly established AR segment and in our corporate segment. The AR segment consists of missile solutions with technologies for strategic defense, missile defense, and hypersonic and tactical systems, as well as space propulsion and power systems for national security space and exploration missions. See Note B: Acquisitions, Divestitures and Asset Sales and Note O: Business Segment Information in these Notes for further information. 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 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 and these Notes. Materially different results can occur as circumstances change and additional information becomes known. Reclassifications The classification of certain prior year amounts have been adjusted in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and these Notes to conform to current year classifications. Accounting Standards Updates In October 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers, which requires entities to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The update generally results in an entity recognizing contract assets and contract liabilities at amounts consistent with those recorded by the acquiree immediately before the acquisition date rather than at fair value. The new standard is effective on a prospective basis for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted. We adopted the new standard effective December 31, 2022. On January 3, 2023 and July 28, 2023 we completed the acquisitions of Viasat, Inc.’s Tactical Data Links product line (“TDL”) and AJRD, respectively. We applied the provisions of ASU 2021-08 in our purchase accounting for both acquisitions, and adoption of the new standard did not have a material impact on our operating results, financial position, or cash flows. For more information regarding the TDL and AJRD acquisitions, see Note B: Acquisitions, Divestitures and Asset Sales in these Notes.
