Harris Corporation Fourth Quarter Revenue Grows 19%; Net Income Increases 39%; Non-GAAP Net Income Increases 30%

            Strong New Orders Momentum Entering Fiscal Year 2009



    MELBOURNE, Fla., Aug. 5 /EMWNews/ -- Harris Corporation

(NYSE: HRS) reported that revenue in its fiscal fourth quarter ended June

27, 2008, increased 19 percent to $1.4 billion, compared to $1.2 billion in

the prior-year quarter. Organic revenue increased 12 percent. Orders in the

fourth quarter were significantly higher than revenue.



    GAAP net income in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 was $122 million,

or $.90 per diluted share, compared to $88 million, or $.63 per diluted

share, in the prior-year quarter. Non-GAAP net income in the fourth quarter

of fiscal 2008 was $128 million, or $.95 per diluted share, compared to $99

million, or $.71 per diluted share, in the prior-year quarter, an increase

of 34 percent. Non-GAAP net income in fiscal 2008 excludes

acquisition-related costs. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial

measures is provided in Tables 5 through 8 along with the accompanying

notes.



    Full-year revenue in fiscal 2008 was $5.3 billion, a 25 percent

increase compared to $4.2 billion in the prior year. Organic revenue

increased 13 percent, and new orders were significantly higher than

revenue. GAAP net income in fiscal 2008 was $444 million, or $3.26 per

diluted share, compared to $480 million, or $3.43 per diluted share, in the

prior year. Non-GAAP net income in fiscal 2008, which excludes

acquisition-related costs, was $462 million, or $3.39 per diluted share, an

18 percent increase compared to non-GAAP net income in fiscal 2007 of $391

million, or $2.80 per diluted share. Non-GAAP net income in fiscal 2007

excludes charges associated with cost-reduction actions, asset impairments,

acquisition costs and the significant gain associated with the Harris

Stratex Networks combination.



    "Harris achieved excellent financial results, notwithstanding the

unexpected higher costs and accounting errors in the fourth quarter at

Harris Stratex Networks. We continued to deliver double-digit organic

revenue growth, and orders were significantly higher than revenue," said

Howard L. Lance, chairman, president and chief executive officer. "Revenue

increased in all four operating segments during the fourth quarter, on both

a year-over-year and sequential basis. New orders combined with a robust

pipeline of opportunities in the markets we serve are giving us confidence

that fiscal 2009 will be another year of strong financial performance. To

ensure margin expansion, cost-reduction actions have been initiated to

better align resources to support faster-growing, higher-margin market

opportunities."



    Defense Communications and Electronics



    The Defense Communications and Electronics segment -- comprised of the

RF Communications Division and Defense Programs -- continued its strong

momentum of revenue and earnings growth. Fourth quarter revenue of $567

million was 22 percent higher than the prior-year quarter and sequentially

was 12 percent higher than the third quarter. Operating income for the

quarter increased 29 percent to $170 million, compared to the prior-year

quarter, and operating margin was 30 percent.



    RF Communications. Fourth quarter revenue in the RF Communications

Division was $441 million, increasing 36 percent compared to $326 million

in the prior-year quarter. RF Communications also posted another strong

quarter of sequential revenue growth with revenue increasing 13 percent

compared to the third quarter. Strong market demand and customer preference

in both U.S. and international markets is continuing for Harris Falcon(R)

tactical radios. This continuing success was highlighted by the diverse

group of international customer shipments in the quarter, including

Pakistan, Algeria, Georgia, the Philippines, Saudi Arabia, the Bahamas,

Estonia, Ethiopia, Honduras, Macedonia, Nicaragua, Romania and the United

Kingdom.



    Worldwide demand for Harris software-defined tactical radios continues

to be driven by multiple factors, including modernization programs, force

expansion, force restructuring, interoperability requirements, and

requirements for network-centric communications. Customer priorities

continue to evolve across the defense, homeland security, public safety and

peacekeeping landscape. Their communications systems need to be versatile

and adaptable in order to be effective in multiple operating environments

and missions. Demand will continue to increase for network-centric

communications systems that can significantly improve situational awareness

and force effectiveness through communications superiority. Harris Falcon

radios embrace these changing mission priorities and offer superior

multimission performance.



    RF Communications orders in the fourth quarter included:



    -- $118 million contract from the U.S. Marine Corps for Falcon II(R)

multiband manpack radios as part of a $350 million Indefinite Delivery,

Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract to transition from legacy single-band

radios to multiband, multimission software-defined radios;



    -- $43 million order from a Latin American country for Falcon II HF

radios;



    -- $42 million order from the U.S. Army for 1,400 Falcon II vehicular

adapter systems -- including power amplifiers, filters, antenna systems,

and other installation components -- for installation of Falcon II manpack

radios in MRAP (Mine Resistant Ambush Protected) vehicles;



    -- $18 million order for Falcon II HF radios to modernize and support

communications networks for the Iraq Ministry of Defense;



    -- $16 million order for Bowman HF tactical radios from the United

Kingdom; and



    -- $15 million contract from the Polish Ministry of National Defense

for Falcon II manpack radios and vehicular installations for the Combat Net

Radio program of the Polish Armed Forces.



    Total orders in the RF Communications Division for fiscal 2008 were

approximately $1.7 billion and were significantly higher than full-year

revenue. Backlog in the business at year-end was about $1 billion, 23

percent higher than at the end of fiscal 2007.



    In July, the new Falcon III(R) AN/PRC-117G multiband, multimission

manpack radio became the first manpack radio with wideband networking

capability to be certified by the Joint Tactical Radio System (JTRS) Joint

Program Executive Office (JPEO). The radio had previously received Type-1

security certification from the National Security Agency (NSA). The radio

provides secure IP data transmission at on-air rates up to 5 megabits per

second, mobile ad-hoc networking, and automated network establishment and

maintenance. The radio also provides networked voice, data and video

communications and true battlefield situational awareness to military and

peace-keeping forces on the move. The radio has full interoperability with

currently fielded legacy radios such as SINCGARS. Harris already has

received initial orders for the new Falcon III manpack from a number of

Department of Defense (DoD) and other U.S. Government customers.



    Following the close of the quarter, RF Communications introduced the

Unity(TM) XG-100 land mobile radio, the newest product in a family of

multiband, software-defined radios that will give federal, state and local

public safety responders the ability to communicate using a single radio

across multiple frequencies with virtually any agency responding to an

emergency. The Unity(TM) XG-100 expands on the capabilities of the

RF-1033M, the first Harris land mobile radio introduced earlier this year,

and extends the covered frequency range to include the 700/800 MHz bands.



    Defense Programs. Defense Programs revenue declined 7 percent compared

to the prior-year quarter. The prior-year quarter benefited from higher

levels of production on the F/A-18 and F-22A aircraft programs. In the

fourth quarter, DoD programs with higher revenue included the LMST

(Lightweight Multiband Satellite Terminal) program for the U.S. Marine

Corps, the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter program, and the next-generation U.S.

Air Force Global Positioning System (GPS) control segment. Revenue declined

in the fourth quarter from the JDAM (Joint Direct Attack Munitions) program

as it neared completion.



    Significant Defense Programs awards in the fourth quarter included two

separate contracts totaling $162 million to provide multiband SATCOM

terminals for various U.S. Navy ships. Harris also secured several

follow-on contracts for avionics systems for the F-35 Lightning II Joint

Strike Fighter aircraft, as well as anti-scintillation modems and the

In-Flight Interceptor Communications System (IFICS) for the U.S. Missile

Defense Agency (MDA).



    Government Communications Systems



    The Government Communications Systems segment -- comprised of Civil

Programs, National Intelligence Programs, and IT Services -- reported

fourth quarter revenue of $512 million, an increase of 24 percent compared

to the prior-year quarter. Operating income in the fourth quarter of fiscal

2008 increased 57 percent to $52 million, compared to $33 million in the

prior-year quarter. Operating margin was a strong 10.2 percent.



    The strong rebound in operating performance was primarily the result of

the company's progress made over the last several months in implementing

new designs in several commercial satellite reflector programs. Of the 10

commercial reflectors that are in various stages of design, assembly, test

and delivery, four have now been completed and the first has been

successfully deployed in space. A fifth reflector was nearing completion

when it sustained accidental damage. As a result of the company's

maintenance of insurance policies covering accidental damage and related

costs, any financial impact associated with the accident is not expected to

be material.



    Organic revenue increased 6 percent in the fourth quarter, compared to

the prior-year quarter, driven by the NETCENTS IT integration and services

program for the U.S. Air Force, the Navy/ Marine Corps Intranet (NMCI)

program, the Field Data Collection Automation (FDCA) program for the U.S.

Census Bureau, the Global Geospatial Intelligence (GGI) program for the

National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA), and the Network Space

Operations and Maintenance (NSOM) program for the Air Force 50th Space

Wing.



    Key Government Communications Systems contract awards in the fourth

quarter included several new classified programs with a combined value of

$113 million, a $58 million contract for a new NASA space suit

communications system, and a $20 million IT services contract for a

next-generation Tactical Video Capture System (TVCS) that will support

training at various U.S. Marine Corps locations across the U.S. and abroad.



    Harris also was awarded its second contract in a new market for the

company -- Healthcare IT. Under a $12 million contract for the U.S. Army

Dental Command Information Management & Technology Division, Harris will

provide local operations and support to the U.S. Army Dental Command at Ft.

Sam Houston, Texas, and other Army dental clinics at locations around the

world.



    Broadcast Communications



    Fourth-quarter revenue in the Broadcast Communications segment was $174

million, a 5 percent increase compared to the prior-year quarter. Orders

were higher than revenue. Sales of transmission equipment increased at

double-digit rates due to strong shipments in the U.S. market for the

over-the-air digital transmission build-out. Video infrastructure equipment

sales, including routers, master control, test and measurement, and

multiviewers, continued to increase at strong double-digit rates driven by

the continuing global conversion by media organizations to digital and HD

(high-definition) operations. Sales of server equipment declined compared

to an unusually strong prior-year quarter. The continuing product

transition to new traffic and billing software platforms in North American

and international markets dampened sales of legacy software products.



    GAAP and non-GAAP operating income was $8 million, flat with the

prior-year quarter GAAP operating income. Non-GAAP operating income in the

prior-year quarter was $12 million, excluding expenses related to

cost-reduction actions in the transmission and software areas of the

business. Operating expenses in the quarter increased for R&D and

marketing. Increased investment is being directed at expansion in

higher-growth, higher-margin product areas and growing international

markets such as the Middle East, Asia Pacific, Europe and Latin America.



    Sequentially, operating performance improved, compared to the third

quarter of fiscal 2008. Revenue was 10 percent higher, while operating

income was 14 percent higher despite increased marketing expenses related

to annual fourth quarter trade shows. Following the end of the quarter,

cost-reduction actions including additional headcount reductions were

initiated to further improve operating performance.



    During the fourth quarter, the Harris ONE(TM) solution, which improves

workflow solutions across the entire broadcast delivery value chain,

continued to gain traction in both domestic and international markets.

Harris received a significant order from Sezmi, a new entertainment

services company that is combining traditional TV content, movies and

Internet video in a single easy-to-use product. Harris is providing Sezmi

with traffic and scheduling systems and a multichannel playout and

nationwide distribution system, including video encoding, video servers,

multiviewers, routers, test and measurement systems and signal processing

equipment. Additionally, Harris will distribute content and provide network

and IT managed services utilizing its network operations center (NOC) in

Melbourne, Florida.



    Harris received a significant order in the quarter from Special

Broadcasting Service (SBS), Australia's multicultural and multilingual

public broadcaster, to supply a Harris ONE(TM) solution for the

comprehensive rebuild of SBS' facility in Sydney to HD operations. Other

Harris ONE(TM) solution orders received during the quarter included

Showtime Arabia, a leading Pay TV network in the Middle East, GSEN, the new

radio and TV Gaming Sports Entertainment Network in Las Vegas, The Advance

Broadcast Corporation, the largest cable TV company in Thailand, and

Kalaignar TV India. Other key orders came from CBS Television for HD video

servers, CTV, a leading broadcaster in Canada, for multiple HD conversion

systems, the National Basketball Association for NetVX encoders to backhaul

live HD feeds to 29 arenas, and Cimax International in China and the

Botswana Government Department of Information and Broadcasting, both for

radio transmitters.



    Harris Stratex Networks, Inc.



    Harris Stratex Networks revenue for the fourth quarter is expected to

be $187 million, a 7 percent increase compared to $174 million in the

prior-year quarter. Revenue is expected to increase 5 percent compared to

sequential third quarter revenue of $178 million. Harris Stratex Networks

(Nasdaq: HSTX) is a 56 percent majority-owned subsidiary of Harris.



    Revenue drivers continue to be the transition to IP networks, the

evolution to 4G technologies, and wireless network infrastructure expansion

in emerging regions. The company achieved record booking levels in the

fourth quarter with a 1.6 to 1 book-to-bill ratio, which is expected to

contribute to revenue generation in fiscal 2009. Increased orders came from

Africa, Europe, the Middle East and Russia as well as North America. Demand

for its Eclipse(TM) product line was particularly strong when compared with

prior periods.



    Segment GAAP operating loss in the fourth quarter is expected to be $36

million. Non-GAAP operating loss is expected to be $19 million and excludes

integration costs of $17 million associated with the Harris Stratex

Networks combination. The non-GAAP operating loss resulted from unexpected

operating cost increases and accounting errors related to prior periods

totaling $32 million.



    Outlook



    Harris reconfirmed its earnings guidance for fiscal 2009 in a range of

$4.05 to $4.15 per diluted share. Fiscal 2009 earnings guidance represents

a year-over-year increase of 19 to 22 percent, compared to non-GAAP

earnings in fiscal 2008. Revenue in fiscal 2009 is expected to increase by

about 8-10 percent compared to fiscal 2008. A reconciliation of GAAP to

non-GAAP financial measures is provided in Table 7 along with the

accompanying notes.

DISCLOSURE To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), we provide additional measures of segments' operating income (loss), non-operating income (loss); cost of product sales and services; engineering, selling and administrative expenses; income before income taxes and minority interest; income taxes; minority interest; net income; and net income per diluted share adjusted to exclude certain costs, expenses, gains and losses. 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 a guide in its forecasting, budgeting, and long-term planning process and to measure operating performance for some management compensation purposes.
