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 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- 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.

                        FY '08 Fourth 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:
