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 income from continuing operations and income from continuing operations per diluted share for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 and for fiscal 2015, in each case excluding acquisition-related costs and charges for restructuring and other items; free cash flow for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 and the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014 and for fiscal 2015 and for the Exelis segment for the June month of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015, in each case excluding cash flow for capital expenditures; operating income for the RF Communications segment for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015, excluding restructuring charges; operating income for the Integrated Network Solutions segment for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015, excluding charges for restructuring and other items; and the guidance range for expected net income per diluted share for fiscal 2016, excluding integration and other acquisition-related 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.
