Harris Corporation Third Quarter Revenue Increases 24%; Orders Higher Than Revenue in All Four Operating Segments
Company Increases Fiscal Year 2009 Earnings Guidance

MELBOURNE, Fla., April 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Harris Corporation ( NYSE:HRS ) reported revenue for its third quarter of fiscal year 2008 of $1.33 billion, an increase of 24 percent compared to $1.07 billion in the prior-year quarter. Organic revenue increased 15 percent, excluding the impact of prior-year acquisitions.

Net income for the third quarter of fiscal year 2008 was $108 million, or $.78 per diluted share. Net income in the prior-year quarter, which included a significant gain associated with the Harris Stratex Networks combination, was $215 million, or $1.52 per diluted share. Non-GAAP net income, excluding acquisition-related costs and gains, was $110 million, or $.81 per diluted share, in the third quarter of fiscal year 2008, compared to $101 million, or $.72 per diluted share, in the prior-year quarter. Third quarter fiscal year 2008 earnings were adversely impacted by a previously announced charge of $47 million for cost overruns on several commercial satellite reflector programs. Also, as previously announced, third quarter earnings benefited from a low effective tax rate. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures is provided in Tables 5 through 8 along with accompanying notes.

"Strong revenue growth continued in the third quarter across all of our businesses. Even with the impact of the commercial reflector charge, Harris generated excellent earnings in the quarter," said Howard L. Lance, chairman, president and chief executive officer. "Orders were particularly strong and our growing backlog should provide excellent momentum entering fiscal 2009."

Defense Communications and Electronics

Results in the Defense Communications and Electronics segment continued to be excellent, with third quarter revenue of $507 million, an increase of 22 percent compared to the prior-year quarter. Orders were significantly greater than revenue. Operating income of $156 million increased 24 percent, compared to the prior-year quarter, and operating margin was 31 percent. The Defense Communications and Electronics segment is comprised of the RF Communications Division and Defense Programs.

Global market demand for Harris Falcon(R) tactical radios continued to increase at double-digit rates. Deployment of advanced communications systems remains a top customer priority in the U.S. as well as globally. Demand is being driven by modernization programs, force expansion, force restructuring and modularity, and network-centric operations that significantly improve situational awareness. International deliveries were made to a diverse set of customers, including Pakistan, Albania, Algeria, Bulgaria, Kazakhstan, Saudi Arabia, Georgia, Singapore, Chad, Jamaica, Romania, Spain, Thailand, and the United Kingdom.

  Significant RF Communications orders in the third quarter included:

 -- A $118 million order from the U.S. Army to supply Falcon II(R) high-
    frequency (HF) vehicular radio systems for HMMWV's and other vehicles;

 -- A $97 million contract to continue upgrading U.S. Marine Corps tactical
    radio communications with multiband, multimission JTRS-approved Falcon
    III(R) handheld and vehicular radio systems;

 -- An $80 million order from the Philippines Ministry of Defence for Falcon
    radios;

 -- A $45 million order to supply the U.S. Air Force with a complete suite
    of Falcon tactical radios for its fleet of Mine Resistant Ambush
    Protected (MRAP) vehicles; and

 -- A $25 million contract from the Brunei Ministry of Defence to supply
    tactical radios, accessories and other equipment to the Combat Net Radio
    replacement program of the Royal Brunei Armed Forces.

Announcements in the third quarter related to the robust RF Communications new product funnel included:

  -- First deliveries of the new Falcon III multiband, multimission manpack
     radio, the first  wideband networking radio to utilize the Software
     Communication Architecture (SCA) and receive NSA Type 1 certification
     for the protection of voice and data traffic up through the TOP SECRET
     level;

  -- Deployment of the new Broadband Ethernet high-capacity line-of-site
     radio by the 2-25th Stryker Brigade Combat Team of the U.S. Army's 25th
     Infantry Division;

  -- Introduction of the first multiband land mobile radio that provides
     real-time interoperable communications for the growing federal public
     safety and homeland security market;

  -- A contract from the Defence Forces of Norway to provide several
     thousand RF-7800S Secure Personal Radios, a lightweight wideband radio
     that delivers secure tactical communications to individual soldiers;
     and

  -- Use of the JTRS-approved Falcon III handheld radios in U.S. Army Shadow
     200 Unmanned Aerial Vehicles to extend the communications capabilities
     of soldiers serving in mountainous and urban environments.

Defense Programs revenue increased in the third quarter of fiscal year 2008, compared to the prior-year quarter. Higher revenue was achieved in a number of strategic Department of Defense (DoD) programs including: the LMST (Lightweight Multiband Satellite Terminal) program for the U.S. Marine Corps, the WIN-T (Warfighter Information Network-Tactical) program for the U.S. Army, the IFCS (Improved Fire Control System) for the U.S. Army Multiple Launch Rocket System, the CDL (Common Data Link) Hawklink program for the U.S. Navy, and the MIDS (Multifunctional Information Distribution System) for DoD aircraft.

Harris products and systems are providing advanced battlespace networking capabilities at virtually every layer of the global communications grid -- ground, air, sea and space. Harris develops mobile, ad hoc and self-healing networks for network-centric warfare, providing defense forces with true situational awareness and information assurance, along with multi-level security and leading-edge encryption solutions.

Government Communications Systems

Revenue growth also continued in the Government Communications Systems segment. Third quarter revenue was $491 million, an increase of 27 percent compared to the prior-year quarter. Orders were higher than revenue. Operating income for the third quarter was $6 million and was adversely impacted by the $47 million charge for commercial satellite reflector programs. Operating income in the prior-year quarter was $45 million. The Government Communications Systems segment is comprised of Civil Programs, National Intelligence Programs, and IT Services.

Organic revenue increased 6 percent in the third quarter, compared to the prior-year quarter, driven by the FDCA (Field Data Collection Automation) program for the U.S. Census Bureau, the Patriot IT services program for the NRO (National Reconnaissance Office), the NETCENTS IT integration and services program for the U.S. Air Force, and a number of classified programs.

Major program wins in the third quarter included the potential $410 million, 6.5-year Network and Space Operations and Maintenance (NSOM) program. Harris will provide operations and maintenance support to the 50th Space Wing Air Force Satellite Control Network at locations around the world. Harris also received a $22 million, 6-month extension to a Department of State contract to modernize IT architecture for the Bureau of Consular Affairs. During the quarter, Harris won new classified programs valued at approximately $140 million and was awarded a $20 million, 2-year program to provide satellite reflector antennas for the Sirius Satellite Radio FM 6 satellite expected to be launched in the fourth quarter of 2010.

In a new market for Harris -- Healthcare IT -- Harris won a $6 million contract during the third quarter from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Harris will develop and integrate an open-source National Health Information Exchange Gateway solution that will enable federal healthcare agencies and healthcare providers to share patient information more quickly and easily, improving the quality of care and reducing costs.

Following the close of the quarter, Harris was awarded a 10-year contract valued at more than $40 million to supply depot support and engineering services for multiple space control systems for the U.S. Space and Missile Systems Center Space Superiority Systems Wing at Los Angeles Air Force Base, California. The value of the contract may increase through future options.

Broadcast Communications

Third quarter revenue in the Broadcast Communications segment was $159 million, an increase of 14 percent compared to the prior-year quarter. Orders were higher than revenue. Operating income was $7 million, compared to non-GAAP operating income of $5 million in the prior-year quarter. In the prior-year quarter, the segment had an operating loss, on a GAAP basis, of $18 million, which included the impact of cost-reduction actions and the discontinuance of a software development effort. Strong orders and an increase in backlog in the third quarter are expected to drive higher sales and operating income in the fourth quarter. A number of new initiatives are also underway to further reduce operating expenses and improve gross margins going forward.

Revenue growth in the third quarter was across all business areas in both U.S. and international markets. Higher revenue is being driven by the continuing global conversion to both digital and HD (high-definition) operations. Sales of Transmission Systems grew at double-digit rates, compared to the prior-year quarter, as a result of strong shipments in the U.S. market for the over-the-air digital transmission build-out. Double-digit growth continued in Infrastructure & Digital Media systems, including routers, graphics equipment and multiviewers. Third quarter sales of traffic and billing Software Solutions also improved, particularly in international markets.

Increasingly, large media customers are selecting the Harris ONE(TM) approach for workflow solutions across the entire broadcast delivery chain, tying workflow and signal flow together to improve productivity and responsiveness. Recent international examples include projects with Chunghwa Telecom in Taiwan; Brazilian broadcaster TV Anhanguera; the Saudi Arabia Ministry of Culture and Information for Saudi Television; Kuwait Television; RTV, the national public broadcaster in Slovenia; and HD suisse, the first HD television channel in Switzerland.

Harris Stratex Networks, Inc.

Revenue for the Harris Stratex Networks segment was $178 million in the third quarter, an increase of 21 percent compared to the prior-year quarter on a pro forma, non-GAAP basis (as if the former Harris Microwave Communications segment and Stratex Networks had been combined since the beginning of fiscal year 2007). Non-GAAP operating income in the third quarter was $11 million, excluding integration costs associated with the Harris Stratex Networks combination, compared with non-GAAP operating income of $4 million in the prior-year quarter. Segment operating income on a GAAP basis was $9 million, compared to $141 million in the prior-year quarter, which included a significant gain associated with the business combination, net of transaction- related costs.

North American revenue increased a strong 16 percent to $57 million in the third quarter compared to the prior-year quarter. Sales continue to be fueled by leased line substitution, foot-print expansion, grant money that is being made available to state, local and federal agencies, and right-of-way users responding to an increased demand for bandwidth expansion and some re-allocation to 1.7 / 2.7 GHz frequencies. International revenue increased 27 percent to $117 million in the third quarter. Growth was led by a 49 percent year-over-year increase in Africa, reflecting a rebound in capital investment following a series of mobile operator consolidations. Revenue growth was also strong in Europe, the Middle East and Russia.

During the quarter, Harald J. Braun was appointed president and chief executive officer of Harris Stratex Networks, succeeding Guy M. Campbell, who had previously announced his retirement. An industry veteran, Braun previously served as president and CEO of Siemens Networks LLC and was most recently senior executive in Nokia Siemens Networks North America.

Harris Stratex Networks ( NASDAQ:HSTX ) management will host a conference call and webcast (www.harrisstratex.com) today at 5:30 p.m., Eastern Time, to discuss financial results for their fiscal year third quarter.

Outlook

Harris reconfirmed its non-GAAP earnings guidance for fiscal year 2008 previously provided on February 28, 2008 at approximately $3.45 per diluted share. The company increased its earnings guidance for fiscal year 2009 to a new range of $4.05 to $4.15 per diluted share, compared to initial guidance provided on March 5, 2008, of $4.00 to $4.10 per diluted share. Fiscal 2009 earnings guidance now represents a year-over-year increase of 17 to 20 percent compared to current non-GAAP guidance for fiscal year 2008.

Harris is an international communications and information technology company serving government and commercial markets in more than 150 countries. Headquartered in Melbourne, Florida, the company has annual revenue of more than $5 billion and more than 16,000 employees -- including nearly 7,000 engineers and scientists. Harris is dedicated to developing best-in-class assured communications(R) products, systems, and services. Additional information about Harris Corporation is available at www.harris.com .

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release contains non-GAAP financial measures within the meaning of Regulation G promulgated by the SEC, including net income and earnings per share for the third quarter of fiscal 2008 excluding the impact of costs associated with our acquisitions and integration costs associated with the formation of Harris Stratex Networks; and earnings per share guidance for fiscal 2008 also excluding the impact of integration costs associated with the formation of Harris Stratex Networks and acquisitions. 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. 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. Any analysis of non-GAAP financial measures should be used only in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP.

                            HARRIS CORPORATION
                       FY '08 Third 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 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. 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:

  Notes to tables 5 through 9:

Note A - Adjustments to cost of product sales and services for the quarter ended March 28, 2008 are due to the impact of a step up in fixed assets associated with the combination between Stratex Networks, Inc. ("Stratex") and our former Microwave Communications Division ($0.2 million). Adjustments to cost of product sales and services for the three quarters ended March 28, 2008 are due to the impact of a step up in fixed assets and integration costs associated with the Stratex combination ($5.8 million) and a step up in inventory associated with our acquisition of Zandar Technologies plc ("Zandar") ($0.4 million). Adjustments to cost of product sales and services for the quarter and three quarters ended March 30, 2007 are due to transaction-related costs including a step up in inventory, a step up in fixed assets and a write-off of deferred revenue associated with the Stratex combination ($6.0 million).

Adjustments to engineering, selling and administrative expenses for the three quarters ended March 28, 2008 are due to the impact of a step up in fixed assets and integration costs associated with the Stratex combination ($16.1 million), integration costs associated with our acquisition of Multimax ($1.3 million) and integration costs and a write-off of in-process research and development associated with our acquisition of Zandar ($1.5 million). Adjustments to engineering, selling and administrative expenses for the quarter and three quarters ended March 30, 2007 are due to transaction costs associated with the Stratex combination, including a write-off of in-process research and development and the amortization of backlog ($17.0 million); integration costs associated with the Stratex combination ($3.5 million for the quarter and $5.2 million for the three quarters ended March 30, 2007); severance and other expenses associated with cost-reduction actions in our Broadcast Communications segment ($4.2 million) and a write down of capitalized software associated with management's decision to discontinue an automation software development effort in our Broadcast Communications segment ($18.9 million).

Note C - Adjustment for the gain on the Stratex combination ($163.4 million).

Note D - The adjustment to non-operating income (loss) for the three quarters ended March 30, 2007 is due to the impairment to our investment in Terion, Inc. ($19.8 million).

Note E - Adjustments to our Government Communications Systems segment operating income for the quarter and three quarters ended March 28, 2008 are due to integration costs associated with our acquisition of Multimax ($0.4 million and $1.3 million, respectively).

Adjustments to our Broadcast Communications segment operating income for the three quarters ended March 28, 2008 are due to the impact of a step up in inventory, integration costs and a write-off of in-process research and development associated with our acquisition of Zandar ($1.9 million). Adjustments to our Broadcast Communications segment operating income for the quarter and three quarters ended March 30, 2007 are due to severance and other expenses associated with cost-reduction actions ($4.2 million) and a write down of capitalized software associated with management's decision to discontinue an automation software development effort ($18.9 million).

Note G - Adjustments to our Harris Stratex Networks segment operating income for the quarter and three quarters ended March 28, 2008 are due to the impact of a step up in fixed assets and integration costs associated with the Stratex combination ($1.5 million and $21.9 million, respectively). Adjustments to our Harris Stratex Networks segment operating income for the quarter and three quarters ended March 30, 2007 are due to the gain on the Stratex combination ($163.4 million) offset by transaction costs ($23.0 million) and integration costs ($3.5 million for the quarter and $5.2 million for the three quarters ended March 30, 2007) associated with the Stratex combination.

Note H - Adjustment for the estimated $0.07 per diluted share impact, after minority interest, is due to the impact of a step up in fixed assets and integration costs associated with the Stratex combination.

Note I - Adjustment for the estimated $0.02 per diluted share impact is for the estimated impact from integration and other charges associated with our acquisition of Multimax.

Note J - Adjustment for the estimated $0.02 per diluted share impact is for the estimated impact from integration and other charges associated with our acquisition of Zandar.

Note K - Adjustments to add revenue of Stratex, Multimax, and Zandar during the third quarter of Harris' fiscal year 2007 and to subtract revenue during the third quarter of Harris' fiscal year 2007 of our radio resale business exited in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007.

Note L - Adjustments to add revenue of Multimax during the third quarter of Harris' fiscal year 2007.

Note M - The difference between the GAAP operating income (loss) recorded during the quarter ended March 30, 2007 by Harris versus Harris Stratex Networks, Inc. is due to the $163.4 million gain recorded by Harris on the Stratex combination and $0.3 million of corporate allocations expense.

Note N - For the quarter and three quarters ended March 28, 2008 the "As Reported" calculations of net income per diluted common share include the potential dilutive effect of warrants to purchase the common stock of Harris Stratex Networks, Inc. The "Non-GAAP" calculations exclude the effects of this potential dilution.
