MELBOURNE, Florida, November 1, 2016 - Harris Corporation (NYSE:HRS) reported revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 2017 of $1.75 billion compared with $1.81 billion in the prior year, down 3 percent on a reported basis and 2 percent on an organic basis, excluding prior-year revenue attributable to the divested Aerostructures business. GAAP net income was $160 million, or $1.27 per diluted share, compared with $148 million, or $1.18 per diluted share, in the prior year. Non-GAAP net income, excluding acquisition-related charges, was $175 million, or $1.39 per diluted share, compared with $163 million, or $1.31 per diluted share, in the prior year. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures is provided in the tables.
“First quarter performance provided a solid start to our fiscal year,” said William M. Brown, chairman, president and chief executive officer. “Despite the revenue headwind, earnings were higher in the quarter as we maintained our focus on operational excellence and realized acquisition synergies while investing to meet the needs of our customers. The business reported strong book-to-bill and backlog grew in all four segments including in our tactical radio business.”
“Earlier today we announced a definitive agreement to sell the CapRock commercial business for $425 million in cash as part of our on-going strategic initiative to optimize the business portfolio. Proceeds from the transaction will be used to pay down debt and return cash to shareholders. The transaction is expected to close in the first calendar quarter of 2017.”
Communication Systems
Communication Systems segment revenue in the first quarter was $431 million, down 5 percent compared to the prior year. Tactical Communications revenue was $340 million, down 6 percent primarily due to lower international SINCGARS radio sales. Public Safety revenue was $91 million, down 1 percent. Segment operating income was $119 million compared with $138 million in the prior year, declining primarily as a result of lower volume and mix.
Tactical radio orders in the quarter included $51 million from a country in Eastern Europe, $35 million from a country in Latin America, and $15 million from a country in Southeast Asia. Harris also was awarded several single-award IDIQ contracts, including a 5-year, $93 million contract from U.S. Southern Command with initial orders of $26 million to support counter-narcotic missions primarily in a number of Latin American countries; a 4-month, $33 million bridge contract from the Army and the Defense Logistics Agency; and a 3-year, $13 million competitive contract from the Army to develop a narrowband mode of the Soldier Radio Waveform (SRW), which will be required in all Army modernization radios, including HMS, MNVR, and Small Airborne Networking Radio (SANR).
Harris achieved two notable milestones during the quarter, receiving limited rate production authorization for the MNVR and NSA Certification for Falcon III 117G radios to run the Mobile User Objective System (MUOS) waveform, which provides connectivity to the Department of Defense’s next-generation MUOS satellite system.
Space and Intelligence Systems
Space and Intelligence Systems segment revenue in the first quarter was $453 million, up 4 percent compared to the prior year, driven by higher revenue from intelligence community customers and from the Radiation Budget Instrument program that provides sensors for monitoring climate change and global warming on NASA’s Joint Polar Satellite System (JPSS). Segment operating income was $80 million compared with $68 million in the prior year, reflecting continued strong program performance and higher pension income.
Following the close of the quarter, Harris received a 3½-year, $90 million follow-on contract with an initial order of $39 million to provide navigation payloads for the Air Force’s ninth and tenth GPS III satellites, and was selected for $53 million in follow-on work to provide counter-communication capabilities and situational awareness to support space asset protection, which will bring contracts to-date for this mission to about $200 million.
Electronic Systems
Electronic Systems segment revenue in the first quarter was $361 million, down 3 percent compared to the prior year. Revenue was up 2 percent on an organic basis, excluding $19 million of prior-year revenue attributable to the divested Aerostructures business. On an organic basis, higher revenue from the recent integrated battle management system win in the Middle East and from electronic warfare solutions was partially offset by lower revenue from wireless products sales. Segment operating income was $74 million compared with $69 million in the prior year.
Harris was awarded a 2-year, $189 million contract from a country in the Middle East to provide an integrated battle management system for the country’s Armed Forces; a 3-year, $55 million contract from the Air Force to redesign the electronic warfare system for the B-52 aircraft; a $22 million contract from the Air Force for B-1B aircraft electronic warfare self-protection subsystems; and $35 million in follow-on contracts for the F-35 program.
Critical Networks
Critical Networks segment revenue in the first quarter was $527 million, down 7 percent from the prior year. Higher revenue from FAA NextGen modernization programs was more than offset by lower revenue in CapRock’s energy market and in IT services. Segment operating income was $66 million compared with $63 million in the prior year.
Following the close of the quarter, Harris was awarded a 14-year (7-year base, 7-year option), $700 million ceiling, single-award IDIQ contract from Florida to provide a state-wide secure communications network. This network, called MyFlorida Net-2, will have about 4,000 sites connecting public safety, law enforcement, and other state and local government agencies.
Guidance
Harris reiterated guidance for fiscal 2017 for GAAP net income in a range of $5.53 to $5.73 per diluted share and for non-GAAP net income in a range of $5.70 to $5.90 per diluted share, excluding acquisition-related integration charges. Guidance for fiscal 2017 revenue is unchanged in a range of $7.11 billion to $7.33 billion.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release contains non-GAAP financial measures within the meaning of Regulation G promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including the percentage change in revenue for Harris and the Electronic Systems segment on an organic basis, excluding revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 2016 attributable to the Aerostructures business divested in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016; net income and net income per diluted share for the first quarter of fiscal 2017 and the first quarter of fiscal 2016, in each case excluding acquisition-related charges; free cash flow in the first quarter of fiscal 2017, excluding cash flow for net capital expenditures; and the guidance range for expected income from continuing operations per diluted share for fiscal 2017, excluding acquisition-related integration charges. 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”). 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 disproportionately 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 Harris business trends and to understand Harris performance. In addition, Harris may utilize non-GAAP financial measures as guides in forecasting, budgeting and long-term planning processes and to measure operating performance for some management compensation purposes. Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP.

FY '17 First Quarter Summary
RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES AND REGULATION G DISCLOSURE
To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), we provide additional measures of net income and net income per diluted common share and net cash provided by operating activities, adjusted to exclude certain costs, charges, expenses and losses or other amounts. 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 disproportionately 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 Harris’ business trends and to understand Harris’ performance. In addition, Harris may utilize non-GAAP financial measures as guides in its forecasting, budgeting, and long-term planning processes and to measure operating performance for some management compensation purposes. Any analysis of non-GAAP financial measures should be used only in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures with the most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP follows:
