HARBOR
STATEMENT
The Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except
as required by law. In addition, forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from
the Company’s historical experience and our present expectations or projections. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those described
in Exelis Inc.’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, and those described from time to time in our future reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Our dependence on the defense industry and the business risks
peculiar to that industry, including changing priorities or reductions
in the U.S.
Government or international defense budgets;
Government regulations and compliance therewith, including
changes to the Department of Defense procurement process;
Our international operations, including sales to foreign customers;
Competition, industry capacity and production rates;
Misconduct of our employees, subcontractors, agents and business
partners;
The level of returns on postretirement benefit plan assets and
potential employee benefit plan contributions and other
employment and pension matters;
Changes
in
interest
rates
and
other
factors
that
affect
earnings
and
cash flows;
The mix of our contracts and programs, our performance, and our
ability to control costs;
Governmental investigations;
Our
level
of
indebtedness
and

The availability and pricing of raw materials and components;
Ability to retain and recruit qualified personnel;

Changes in technology;
Contingencies related to actual or alleged environmental contamination,
claims and concerns;
Security breaches and other disruptions to our information technology and
operations; and
Unanticipated changes in our tax provisions or exposure to additional income
tax liabilities.
In addition, there are risks and uncertainties relating to the separation
including whether those transactions will result in any tax liability, the
operational and financial profile of the Company or any of its businesses after
giving effect to the separation, and the ability of the Company to operate as
an independent entity.
Safe Harbor Statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the “Act”):  Certain material presented herein includes forward-looking
statements intended to qualify for the safe harbor from liability established by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking

the nature and impact of such a separation, capitalization of the Company, future strategic plans and other statements that describe the Company’s business
strategy, outlook, objectives, plans, intentions or goals, and any discussion of future operating or financial performance. Whenever used, words such as
“anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “target” and other terms of similar meaning are intended to identify such forward-
looking statements. Forward-looking statements are uncertain and to some extent unpredictable, and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and
other important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in, or reasonably inferred from, such forward-
looking statements.  Factors that could cause results to differ materially from those anticipated include, but are not limited to:

APPENDIX


RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP MEASURES
Management reviews key performance indicators including revenue,
segment operating income and margins, orders growth, and
backlog, among other metrics on a regular basis. In addition, we
consider certain additional measures to be useful to management
and investors evaluating our operating performance for the periods presented, and provide a tool for evaluating our ongoing
operations, liquidity and management of assets. This information
can assist investors in assessing our financial performance and
measures our ability to generate capital for deployment among competing strategic alternatives and initiatives, including, but not
limited to, acquisitions, and debt repayment. These metrics, however, are not measures of financial performance under
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America (GAAP) and should not be considered a substitute for
sales, operating income, income from continuing operations, or net cash from continuing operations as determined in accordance
with GAAP. We consider the following non-GAAP measure, which may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by
other companies, to be a key performance indicator:
“adjusted income from continuing operations”
defined as income from continuing operations, adjusted to exclude items that
include, but are not limited to significant charges or credits that impact current results, but are not related to our ongoing
operations, unusual and infrequent non-operating items and non-operating tax settlements or adjustments. A reconciliation of
adjusted income from continuing operations is provided below.

“segment operating income”
defined as income from continuing operations of our two segments, adjusted to exclude
items that include, but are not limited to significant charges or credits that impact current results, but are not related to
our ongoing operations, unusual and infrequent non-operating items and non-operating tax settlements or adjustments. A
reconciliation of segment operating income is provided below.
“segment operating margin”
defined as segment operating income as defined above, divided by
sales.  A reconciliation of
segment operating margin is provided below.
