*When we provide our expectation for adjusted segment operating margin, effective tax rate on non-GAAP income, non-GAAP EPS and adjusted free cash flow on a forward-looking basis, a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the corresponding GAAP measures is not available without unreasonable effort due to the unavailability of items for exclusion from the GAAP measure. We are unable to address the probable significance of this information, the variability of which may have a significant impact on future GAAP results. See Non-GAAP Financial Measures on page 6 for more information.

Revenue: Second quarter revenue increased 13%, primarily driven by the acquisition of Aerojet Rocketdyne (AR) and 1% total organic growth from increased demand for tactical and broadband communication products in our Communication Systems (CS) segment. Growth was also driven by continued demand in Space Systems and classified Intel & Cyber programs within the Space & Airborne Systems (SAS) Segment. This growth was offset by lower volumes in our Airborne Combat Systems business. In the Integrated Mission Systems (IMS) segment, growth in Maritime programs was offset by lower volumes associated with our Commercial Aviation business, the divestiture of which is pending closure.

* A reconciliation is not available. See the note on page 2 and Non-GAAP Financial Measures on page 6 for more information.

Operating Margin:
GAAP: Second quarter operating margin increased 50 bps to 9.0% driven by improved operational performance, partially offset by the impact of increased corporate unallocated items, including intangible amortization from mergers and acquisitions and LHX NeXt implementation costs.

Adjusted segment operating margin1: Expanded 80 bps to 15.6% due to improved operational and program performance across the SAS, IMS and CS segments, including LHX NeXt driven cost savings.

EPS:
GAAP: Second quarter EPS increased 5% to $1.92 due to an increase in operating income, partially offset by the impact of intangible amortization from mergers and acquisitions, LHX NeXt implementation costs and higher interest expense.

Non-GAAP1: Increased 9% to $3.24 driven by higher adjusted segment operating income1, partially offset by higher interest expense.

The largest differences between GAAP and Non-GAAP EPS are attributable to intangible amortization and LHX NeXt implementation costs.

Cash Flows:
Cash from Operations: Second quarter cash from operations was $754 million driven by net income growth and improved working capital performance.

Adjusted free cash flow1: Delivered $714 million in adjusted free cash flow1 driven by net income growth, improved working capital performance and adjustments for acquisitions and severance related costs.

(Prior ~12%)
Revenue: Second quarter revenue was flat year-over-year, resulting from continued growth in Space Systems and classified program growth in Intel and Cyber, which was offset by lower volumes in our Airborne Combat Systems business and lower revenues from the divestiture of the antenna business. Excluding this divestiture, organic revenue increased 1%.

Operating Margin: Second quarter operating margin increased 280 bps largely due to the absence of a non-cash charge that impacted 2023, improved operational and program performance, including the impact of the LHX NeXt cost savings initiative.

Ad Hoc Business Review Committee: The company entered into a Cooperation Agreement in December 2023 requiring, among other items, the formation of an Ad Hoc Business Review Committee (BRC) to independently review the company's execution toward shareholder value creation opportunities. Earlier this month, the BRC provided its recommendations and informed the full Board of Directors that it had completed its review. With the work now complete, the Ad Hoc BRC has been dissolved per its charter.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This earnings release contains Non-GAAP Financial Measures ("NGFMs") (as listed on page 16) within the meaning of Regulation G promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Management believes excluding the adjustments listed on page 16 for the purposes of calculating certain NGFMs is useful to investors because these costs do not reflect our ongoing operating performance; however there is no guarantee that items excluded from NGFMs will not reoccur in future periods. These adjustments, when considered together with the unadjusted 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. Management also believes that these adjustments to our NGFMs enhance the ability of investors to analyze L3Harris business trends, to understand L3Harris performance and to evaluate our initiatives to drive improved financial performance. We utilize NGFMs as guides in forecasting, budgeting and long-term planning processes and to measure operating performance for compensation purposes. NGFMs should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP. See "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" beginning on page 11 for detail on the adjustments to our NGFMs. We also provide our expectation of forward-looking NGFMs. A reconciliation of forward-looking NGFMs to comparable GAAP measures is not available without unreasonable effort because of inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying the comparable GAAP measures and the applicable adjustments and other amounts that would be necessary for such a reconciliation, including due to potentially high variability, complexity and low visibility as to the applicable adjustments and other amounts which could have an unpredictable and potentially disproportionate impact on future GAAP results, such as the impact of Aerojet Rocketdyne, costs associated with LHX NeXt, potential divestitures and their timing, other unusual gains and losses and extent of tax deductibility.

Key Terms and Non-GAAP Definitions
Description Definition
Amortization of acquisition-related intangibles and additional cost of revenue related to the fair value step-up in inventory sold Consists of amortization of identifiable intangible assets acquired in connection with business combinations. Amortization charges are recorded over the estimated useful life of the related acquired intangible asset, and thus are generally recorded over multiple years.
Additional cost of revenue related to the fair value step-up in inventory is the difference between the balance sheet value of inventory from the acquiree and the acquisition date fair value.
Merger, acquisition, and divestiture-related expenses Transaction and integration expenses associated with TDL and AR acquisitions. Also, includes external costs related to pursuing acquisition and divestiture portfolio optimization, non-transaction costs related to divestitures and salaries of employees in roles established for and dedicated to planned divestiture and acquisition activity.
Asset group and business divestiture-related losses, net and impairment of goodwill and other assets
In 2023, includes a gain on sale of our Visual Information Solutions business, impairment of contract assets and other assets related to the restructuring of a customer contract and impairment of in-process research and development associated with a facility closure.
