The information contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K that is furnished under this Item 2.02 and 7.01, including the accompanying Exhibit 99.1, is being furnished pursuant to Item 2.02 and 7.01 of Form 8-K and shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liability of that section.

On July 30, 2013, Harris Corporation (“Harris”) issued a press release announcing, among other things, its results of operations and financial condition as of and for its fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 and full fiscal year 2013, its guidance range for expected income from continuing operations per diluted share for fiscal 2014 and its guidance for expected revenue for fiscal 2014. The full text of the press release and related financial tables is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The press release includes a discussion of non-GAAP financial measures, including (i) income from continuing operations and income from continuing operations per diluted share for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 and for fiscal 2013, operating income and operating margin for the RF Communications segment for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, operating income for the Integrated Network Solutions segment for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, operating income and operating margin for the Government Communications Systems segment for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 and operating margin for the Government Communications Systems segment for fiscal 2013, in each case excluding charges related to restructuring and other actions in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013; (ii) income from continuing operations and income from continuing operations per diluted share for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012 and for fiscal 2012 and operating income for the Integrated Network Solutions segment for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, in each case excluding the impact of charges for certain costs and expenses associated with the acquisitions of CapRock Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries, including CapRock Communications, Inc. (collectively, “CapRock”), the Global Connectivity Services business of the Schlumberger group (“Schlumberger GCS”) and Carefx Corporation (“Carefx”); and (iii) free cash flow for fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2012, in each case excluding cash flow for capital expenditures. A “non-GAAP financial measure” is generally defined as a numerical measure of a company’s historical or future performance that excludes or includes amounts, or is subject to adjustments, so as to be different from the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Income from continuing operations and income from continuing operations per diluted share for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 and for fiscal 2013, operating income and operating margin for the RF Communications segment for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, operating income for the Integrated Network Solutions segment for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, operating income and operating margin for the Government Communications Systems segment for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 and operating margin for the Government Communications Systems segment for fiscal 2013, in each case excluding charges related to restructuring and other actions in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013; income from continuing operations and income from continuing operations per diluted share for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012 and for fiscal 2012 and operating income for the Integrated Network Solutions segment for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, in each case excluding the impact of charges for certain costs and expenses associated with the acquisitions of CapRock, Schlumberger GCS and Carefx; and free cash flow for fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2012, in each case excluding cash flow for capital expenditures, are financial measures that are not defined by GAAP and should be viewed in addition to, and not in lieu of, income from continuing operations, income from continuing operations per diluted share, segment operating income, segment operating margin, net cash provided by operating activities and other financial measures on a GAAP basis. Harris has included in its press release a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures disclosed in the press release to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.

Harris management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, when considered together with the 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 disproportionate positive or negative impact on results in any particular period. Harris management also believes that these non-GAAP financial measures enhance the ability of investors to analyze trends in Harris’ business and to understand Harris’ performance. In addition, Harris may utilize non-GAAP financial measures as a guide in its forecasting, budgeting and long-term planning process and to measure operating performance for some management compensation purposes. Please refer to Harris’ financial statements and accompanying footnotes for additional information and for a presentation of results in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.
