Harris Corporation Reports Fiscal 2014 First Quarter Results MELBOURNE, Florida, October 29, 2013 Harris Corporation (NYSE:HRS) reported revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 of $1.19 billion and income from continuing operations of $128 million, or $1.18 per diluted share. Income from continuing operations in the prior year was $129 million, or $1.14 per diluted share. Orders in the first quarter were $1.20 billion. The company generated free cash flow (net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures) of $139 million in the first quarter compared with $77 million in the prior year. Free cash flow was 109 percent of income from continuing operations. First quarter operating performance provided a positive start to our fiscal year, said William M. Brown, president and chief executive officer. Previous restructuring actions together with our continuing progress on operational excellence allowed us to post solid results in the quarter, despite the tough government spending environment. During the quarter, Harris increased its dividend 13.5 percent, used $100 million in cash to repurchase common stock, and approved a new $1 billion share repurchase authorization. RF Communications
Revenue in the first quarter for the RF Communications segment was $423 million compared with $445 million in the prior year. Tactical Communications revenue was $305 million, decreasing 1 percent, and Public Safety revenue was $118 million, decreasing 14 percent. Segment operating income was $135 million compared with $134 million in the prior year. Operating margin was 32.0 percent compared with 30.2 percent in the prior year. Segment orders totaled $348 million, including $225 million in Tactical Communications. Public Safety orders were $123 million, increasing 12 percent compared with the prior year. Book-to-bill was .82 for the segment, and backlog was $664 million in Tactical Communications and $607 million in Public Safety. During the quarter, Harris was awarded a 2-year, $141 million sole-source, Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract from the U.S. Army for the Mid-Tier Networking Vehicular Radio (MNVR) program and received an initial order of $8 million for up to 232 radio systems. Following the close of the quarter, Harris was awarded an $847 million increase in the ceiling value of its sole-source, IDIQ contract with the U.S. Army Communications-Electronics Command (CECOM), which supports international sales of tactical radio systems under the U.S. Governments Foreign Military Sales program. Public Safety orders in the quarter included $40 million from Mobile County, Alabama, to deploy a P25 emergency communications system. Integrated Network Solutions
Revenue in the first quarter for the Integrated Network Solutions segment was $376 million compared with $386 million in the prior year, due to lower revenue from U.S. Government customers in both IT Services and CapRock Communications. Segment operating income was $30 million compared with $33 million in the prior year. During the quarter, IT Services orders included $89 million from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) for the expansion of its wireless network infrastructure, $35 million from the U.S. State Department under the Consular Affairs Support Services contract, and $22 million from the U.S. Air Force to provide enterprise IT support services for the North American Air Defense Command (NORAD) and U.S. Northern Command (USNORTHCOM). Other awards included a $65 million follow-on contract to provide worldwide satellite data and communications support for the U.S. Air Forces Satellite Control Network and Global Positioning System antenna sites, and a 7-year, multi-vendor Network-Centric Solutions-2 (NETCENTS-2) Applications Services IDIQ contract from the U.S. Air Force with a $960 million ceiling value. CapRock Communications was awarded a 7-year, $45 million contract including options and received an initial order of $24 million from a global oil and gas services company to provide satellite communications solutions for its fleet of offshore service vessels. Following the close of the quarter, CapRock was awarded a 5-year contract from Carnival Corporation to provide dual-band satellite voice, data and internet services across its fleet of 103 ships. This is the second win from a major cruise line in the last 18 months, making Harris the satellite communications solutions provider for the top two cruise lines in the world. Government Communications Systems
Revenue in the first quarter for the Government Communications Systems segment was $412 million, declining 9 percent compared with $455 million in the prior year, primarily due to the timing of NOAAs GOES-R weather program transitioning to an integration and test phase and from lower revenue from Department of Defense customers, partially offset by higher revenue from classified customers and from other civil agency customers, including the FAA. Segment operating income was $64 million compared with $66 million in the prior year. Operating margin in the first quarter was 15.5 percent and resulted from strong program performance. During the quarter, Harris was awarded a 7-year, $150 million contract from the FAA to provide the Data Communication Network Services (DCNS) component of the NextGen Data Communications and Integrated Services (DCIS) program, bringing total contract value on the program to $481 million. Harris also received awards totaling $126 million from classified customers and a 5-year, multi-vendor Communications and Transmission Systems (CTS) IDIQ contract from the U.S. Army with a $4.1 billion ceiling value to provide upgrades and maintenance of the Armys terrestrial communications networks worldwide.
