Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release contains non-GAAP financial measures within the meaning of Regulation G promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including earnings per diluted share from continuing operations for the fourth quarter, second half and full year of calendar 2019 and fourth quarter, second half and full year of calendar 2018; adjusted earnings before interest and taxes (“EBIT”) and adjusted EBIT margin for the fourth quarter, second half and full year of calendar 2019 and fourth quarter, second half and full year of calendar 2018; free cash flow for the fourth quarter, second half and full year of calendar 2019 and fourth quarter, second half and full year of calendar 2018; adjusted free cash flow for the fourth quarter, second half and full year of calendar 2019 and fourth quarter, second half and full year of calendar 2018; expected earnings per diluted share from continuing operations for calendar 2020; and expected adjusted free cash flow for calendar 2020; in each case, adjusted for certain costs, charges, expenses, losses or other amounts as set forth in the reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures included in the financial statement tables accompanying this press release. 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 to aid with year-over-year comparability following the L3Harris merger, this press release includes combined financial results in certain cases, with “combined” meaning, in the case of prior-year results, L3 and Harris combined results for the applicable prior-year period on the basis described in the paragraphs below, including regarding adjustments for certain items; and in the case of full year and first half 2019 results, including L3 results for the first half of 2019 on the same basis.

Specifically, this press release includes certain unaudited combined L3 and Harris historical financial information, which combines L3 and Harris historical operating results as if the businesses had been operated together during prior periods on the basis of the combined company’s four segment structure effective following the merger, but excluding the operating results of Harris’ Night Vision business (also excluded for the third quarter of 2019 for comparability) 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 current-period adjusted results exclude, and L3Harris intends to continue to exclude in future-period adjusted results, all deal amortization (including L3 historical deal amortization). The Supplemental Unaudited Combined Financial Information has 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 is not intended to be, and is not, prepared 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, or other pro forma financial information prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X that may be included in L3Harris periodic reports filed with the SEC (collectively with the pro forma information in Exhibit 99.7 to the Pro Forma 8-K Filing, the “Pro Forma Financial Information”). 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 combined company’s four 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 in the Pro Forma Financial Information. Consequently, the Supplemental Unaudited Combined Financial Information is intentionally different from, but does not supersede, the Pro Forma Financial Information.

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 combined company’s four segment structure during the periods presented, or which may be realized in the future.

Amounts Adjusted for Certain Items - The Supplemental Unaudited Combined Financial Information includes amounts adjusted for certain items, including revenue, net income, net income margin, income from continuing operations per diluted common share and cash flow, in each case as adjusted to exclude merger-related deal and integration costs and certain other items previously reported by L3 or Harris, as applicable, for the prior periods as set forth in Tables 5 to 8 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 per diluted common share and cash flow and other financial measures on an unadjusted basis. Tables 5 to 8 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.
