Harris Corporation Reports Fiscal 2016 First Quarter Results MELBOURNE, Fla., November 3, 2015 Harris Corporation (NYSE:HRS) reported revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 2016 of $1.81 billion, compared with $1.16 billion in the prior year. GAAP net income was $148 million, or $1.18 per diluted share, and non-GAAP net income was $163 million, or $1.31 per diluted share, excluding acquisition-related costs. Prior-year GAAP net income was $125 million, or $1.18 per diluted share. Higher first quarter results were primarily due to the acquisition of Exelis in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures is provided in the tables. Orders in the first quarter were $2.24 billion. Free cash flow (net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures) was $40 million. First quarter results marked a strong start to our fiscal year and reflected the first full quarter of Exelis operations, said William M. Brown, chairman, president and chief executive officer. The integration is on track, with synergy savings already evident in first quarter results and ramping towards our fiscal year target of $70-75 million. Orders in the quarter were excellent, resulting in a book-to-bill of 1.24 and expanding backlog. As previously announced, Harris reorganized at the beginning of fiscal 2016 into four new business segments: Communication Systems, Space and Intelligence Systems, Electronic Systems and Critical Networks. On November 2, 2015, Harris provided selected information which combines Harris and Exelis historic results for comparable periods as if the businesses had been operated together on the basis of the new segment structure for fiscal years 2014 and 2015.
