MELBOURNE, Fla. — (BUSINESS WIRE) — October 24, 2024 — L3Harris Technologies (NYSE: LHX) reported third quarter 2024 diluted EPS of $2.10, an increase of 4% from third quarter 2023, on third quarter 2024 revenue of $5.3 billion, an increase of 8%. Third quarter 2024 non-GAAP diluted EPS was $3.34, a 5% increase from third quarter 2023. A reconciliation of non-GAAP results are detailed in tables beginning on page 11.

"We delivered strong third-quarter results, highlighted by outstanding book-to-bill of 1.4x, solid organic growth, and while continuing to improve margins as we make progress toward the financial framework announced at our 2023 Investor Day. These results reaffirm that our Trusted Disruptor strategy is working, driving value for our customers, shareholders and employees," said Christopher E. Kubasik, Chair and CEO.

Kubasik added, "We are making impressive progress on our LHX NeXt initiative and expect to exceed the 2024 cost savings target of $400 million. As a result, we are updating our 2024 savings target to at least $600 million and now expect to reach the overall target of $1 billion a year early. Our pipeline provides opportunity for additional cost savings opportunities to exceed the $1 billion target. All of this gives us confidence to deliver 2026 segment operating margins of at least 16%."

*Organic revenue, adjusted segment operating margin and non-GAAP diluted EPS are non-GAAP financial measures defined on page 17. A reconciliation of adjusted segment operating margin guidance and non-GAAP diluted EPS guidance is not available. See the note on page 2 and Non-GAAP Financial Measures on page 7 for more information.
