Harris Corporation Reports Fiscal 2014 Fourth Quarter Results MELBOURNE, Fla., July 29, 2014 Harris Corporation (NYSE:HRS) reported revenue in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014 of $1.33 billion and GAAP income from continuing operations of $138 million, or $1.28 per diluted share. In the prior year, revenue was $1.36 billion and GAAP income from continuing operations was $71 million, or $0.65 per diluted share. Prior year non-GAAP income from continuing operations, excluding charges related to restructuring and other actions, was $154 million, or $1.41 per diluted share. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures is provided in the tables. Free cash flow (net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures) in the fourth quarter was $334 million compared with $273 million in the prior year. Fourth quarter revenue and earnings were solid, and the company continues to generate substantial free cash flow while still investing for the future, said William M. Brown, chairman, president and chief executive officer. Higher revenue and operating income in Government Communications Systems as well as efficiencies from operational excellence initiatives across the segments contributed to the solid performance in a tough U.S. Government spending environment. For full fiscal year 2014, revenue was $5.01 billion compared with $5.11 billion in the prior year. GAAP income from continuing operations was $540 million, or $5.00 per diluted share, compared with $466 million, or $4.16 per diluted share, in the prior year. Non-GAAP income from continuing operations in the prior year was $549 million, or $4.90 per diluted share. Fiscal 2014 free cash flow was $648 million and 120 percent of income from continuing operations. RF Communications
Revenue in the fourth quarter for the RF Communications segment was $493 million compared with $501 million in the prior year. Tactical Communications revenue was $348 million, increasing 4 percent, and Public Safety revenue was $145 million, decreasing 12 percent. Segment operating income was $141 million. In the prior year, segment operating income was $176 million, and non-GAAP operating income was $185 million.

International tactical radio orders in the quarter included $78 million from a country in Central Asia, $15 million from a government in the Middle East, and $14 million from the Philippines.

Segment operating income was $69 million. In the prior year, segment operating income was $54 million, and non-GAAP operating income was $65 million. During the quarter, Harris was awarded two 5-year, single-award IDIQ contracts totaling $773 million from the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency (NGA) for the Foundation GEOINT Content Management (FGCM) program to provide imagery products for two of three regions - $365 million for Region A for the U.S. Pacific Command and U.S. Northern Command, and $408 million for Region C for the U.S. Africa Command and U.S. Southern Command.
