Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
     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. 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, shall not be incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, whether made before or after the date hereof, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
     On July 31, 2018, 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 2018 and full year fiscal 2018 and its guidance for expected revenue, earnings per diluted share from continuing operations and free cash flow for fiscal 2019. 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) earnings per diluted share from continuing operations for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018 and the full year fiscal 2018, in each case excluding the impact of losses and other costs related to debt refinancing, a non-cash charge related to consolidation of certain Exelis facilities initiated in fiscal 2017 and non-cash adjustments related to tax reform, and in the case of the full year fiscal 2018, also excluding charges related to a decision to transition and exit a commercial line of business and other items and a non-cash charge from an adjustment for deferred compensation; (ii) operating income and operating margin for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018 and the full year fiscal 2018, in each case excluding a non-cash charge related to consolidation of certain Exelis facilities initiated in fiscal 2017, and in the case of the full year fiscal 2018, also excluding charges related to a decision to transition and exit a commercial line of business and other items and a non-cash charge from an adjustment for deferred compensation; (iii) operating income, operating margin and earnings per diluted share from continuing operations for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017 and the full year fiscal 2017, in each case excluding Exelis acquisition-related and other charges; (iv) free cash flow for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018, excluding cash flow for capital expenditures; (v) operating cash flow and free cash flow for the full year fiscal 2018, in each case adjusted for the voluntary pension contribution in the third quarter of fiscal 2018, and in the case of free cash flow, also excluding cash flow for capital expenditures; and (vi) operating cash flow and free cash flow for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017 and the full year fiscal 2017, in each case adjusted for the voluntary pension contribution in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017, and in the case of free cash flow, also 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”). The non-GAAP financial measures identified in the first sentence of this paragraph are financial measures that are not defined by GAAP and should be viewed in addition to, and not in lieu of, earnings per diluted share from continuing operations, operating income, 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 guides in forecasting, budgeting and long-term planning processes 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.
