Harris Corporation Reports First Quarter Results; Fiscal 2010 Guidance
Increased on Strong Orders for Tactical Radios


MELBOURNE, Fla., Oct. 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Harris Corporation (NYSE:
HRS) revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 ended October 2, 2009, was
$1.20 billion, compared with $1.17 billion for the first quarter of fiscal
2009.  Net income in the first quarter was $105 million, or $.79 per diluted
share, compared with $119 million, or $.89 per diluted share, in the
prior-year quarter.  Excluding acquisition-related charges, non-GAAP income
from continuing operations in the first quarter of fiscal 2010 was $109
million, or $.83 per diluted share. New orders in the first quarter of fiscal
2010 were a strong $1.5 billion.  A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP
financial measures is provided in Tables 5 through 7, along with the
accompanying notes.

"New orders, revenue and earnings exceeded our expectations in the first
quarter as a result of strong performance in both the RF Communications and
Government Communications Systems segments," said Howard L. Lance, chairman,
president and chief executive officer. 

"During the quarter, Harris received $220 million in orders for the new Falcon
III® AN/PRC-117G multiband manpack radio, marking a significant milestone
toward widespread customer adoption.  The 117G is being deployed to the U.S.
Army in Afghanistan, becoming the first JTRS-approved ground tactical radio to
be used in a wideband networking battlefield application," Lance said.  "We
also received orders associated with the MRAP-ATV (mine resistant ambush
protected all-terrain vehicle) program and are expecting significant
additional orders in the second quarter.

"We have significantly increased our full-year fiscal 2010 guidance to reflect
much higher than expected tactical radio orders from the U.S. Department of
Defense and the positive impact on expected revenue and earnings," Lance said.


Increased Earnings Guidance
The company has revised its guidance for non-GAAP income from continuing
operations for fiscal 2010 to a range of $3.85 to $3.95 per diluted share
($3.74 to $3.84 per diluted share on a GAAP basis), compared with a previous
range of $3.40 to $3.50 per diluted share ($3.25 to $3.40 per diluted share on
a GAAP basis).  Revenue in fiscal 2010 is now expected to be in a range of
$5.1 billion to $5.2 billion. Fiscal 2010 non-GAAP earnings guidance excludes
acquisition-related costs. 

RF Communications
RF Communications segment orders in the first quarter were $709 million,
including $586 million in the Tactical Radio Communications business.  The
significant increase in tactical radio orders was driven primarily by the
rebound in U.S. DoD procurements that began in the fourth quarter of fiscal
2009 and by accelerating customer adoption of the JTRS-approved Falcon lll
AN/PRC-117G multiband manpack tactical radio.  

During the quarter, Harris received a $165 million order from the U.S. Army as
part of a $419 million Basic Purchasing Agreement (BPA) to provide 117G radios
and vehicular power-amplifier systems.  Additional first quarter 117G orders
were received from a broad base of other customers.  The 117G is being used in
a wide variety of ground, vehicular and airborne applications, including ISR
(intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance).

Also in the first quarter, Harris received $180 million in radio orders for
the military's new MRAP-ATVs being shipped to Afghanistan to counter increased
use of IEDs (improvised explosive devices).  International orders included
radios for military forces in Mexico, Yemen, Ethiopia, Pakistan and Australia.

Orders in the new Public Safety and Professional Communications business were
$123 million.  New orders were driven by continuing trends for frequency
re-banding, new systems, and system upgrades requiring both infrastructure
systems and radio equipment.  Customers included the State of Florida,
Ericsson Australia, and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.  Also in the
quarter, Harris received orders for more than 1,000 of its new Unity(TM)
XG-100 radios from a variety of customers.  The software-defined, multiband,
handheld radio provides full-spectrum interoperability among federal, state,
and local agencies.

Total backlog in RF Communications at the end of the first quarter was $1.23
billion, including $760 million in Tactical Radio Communications and $470
million in Public Safety and Professional Communications.  RF Communications
backlog at the end of fiscal 2009 was $920 million, including $470 million in
Tactical Radio Communications and $450 million in Public Safety and
Professional Communications. 

Revenue for the RF Communications segment in the first quarter was $424
million, including $303 million in the Tactical Radio Communications business
and $121 million in the Public Safety and Professional Communications
business.  As expected, revenue in the Tactical Radio Communications business
declined compared with first-quarter prior-year revenue of $415 million as a
result of procurement delays by the U.S. government and the Iraq Ministry of
Defense.

Operating income for RF Communications was $114 million in the first quarter
compared with $142 million in the prior-year quarter.  Excluding $7 million in
charges for acquisition-related expenses, non-GAAP operating income in the
first quarter was $121 million.  Non-GAAP operating income declined compared
with the prior-year quarter as a result of reduced tactical radio revenue. 
Non-GAAP operating margin was a strong 28 percent for the segment due to
favorable product mix and cost-reduction actions implemented in the second
half of fiscal 2009. 

Government Communications Systems
First quarter revenue for the Government Communications Systems segment was
$668 million, a 10-percent increase compared with $609 million in the
prior-year quarter.  Operating income was $86 million in the first quarter
compared with $66 million in the prior-year quarter.  Operating margin was a
strong 12.8 percent, reflecting excellent performance and favorable award fees
for the FAA Telecommunications Infrastructure (FTI) program.  The FTI program
has completed its equipment build-out phase and now is transitioning to its
telecommunication services and maintenance phase.

Segment revenue growth was driven by a broad base of programs including the
FTI program, the WIN-T (Warfighter Information Network-Tactical) program, the
Commercial Broadband Satellite program for the Navy, several classified
programs for national intelligence customers, the Patriot IT services program
for the NRO (National Reconnaissance Office), and the NETCENTS IT services
program for the U.S. Air Force.

Revenue benefited from the start-up of new programs including the 10-year,
potential $736 million GOES-R GS (Geostationary Operational Environmental
Satellite-Series R Ground Segment) program for NOAA (National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration) and the 10-year, potential $600 million MET
(Modernization of Enterprise Terminals) program for the U.S. Army.

Also contributing to higher revenue was growth in the Harris Healthcare
Solutions business and the recent acquisitions of Crucial Security and SolaCom
ATC.  New contract wins in the quarter included several IT Services programs
with a combined potential value of more than $400 million and new national
intelligence programs with a potential value of $120 million. 

Broadcast Communications
First quarter orders in the Broadcast Communications segment were $124 million
and were greater than revenue and about even with orders in the fourth quarter
of the prior year.  First quarter revenue in the segment was $119 million,
compared with $130 million in the prior-year fourth quarter and $158 million
in the prior-year first quarter.  Continued weakness in the first quarter was
expected and reflects the global economy and delayed capital spending by
broadcast and media customers, as well as seasonally slow spending, primarily
in Europe and the Middle East.

Operating income in the first quarter of fiscal 2010 was $.3 million and was
achieved on substantially lower revenue as a result of significant
cost-reduction actions implemented during fiscal 2009.

Key program wins in the quarter included transmitters for the rollout of DTV
networks in Rwanda and Mexico; complete Harris ONE(TM) solutions for Meredith
Corporation's central-casting hub in Phoenix and the Home Shopping Channel in
South Korea; and multiple orders for China Central Television (CCTV).

Also during the quarter, Harris was awarded a contract from Lockheed Martin to
provide systems for the U.S. Joint Forces Command, which will use highly
advanced broadcast technologies to help collect, manage, process, exploit and
disseminate full-motion video.  The system provides increased visibility into
the vast amounts of real-time and archived video that is collected from manned
and unmanned aircraft and ground-based sensors.  The Harris system
incorporates its proprietary FAME(TM) (Full-Motion Video Asset Management
Engine) technology, which has broad applications in government and commercial
markets.

                                FY '10 First 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; cost of
    product sales and services; engineering, selling and administrative
    expenses; income from continuing operations before income taxes; income
    taxes; income from continuing operations; and income from continuing
    operations per diluted share adjusted to exclude certain costs, charges,
    expenses 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:

FY '10 First Quarter Summary
RECONCILIATION OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
(Unaudited)
Notes to tables 5 through 7:

Note A - Adjustments to cost of product sales and services for the quarter
ended October 2, 2009 are due to integration costs and the impact of a step up
in inventory associated with our acquisition of the Tyco Electronics Wireless
Systems business ("Wireless Systems") ($3.6 million). 

Note B - Adjustments to engineering, selling and administrative expenses for
the quarter ended October 2, 2009 are due to integration and other costs
associated with our acquisitions of Wireless Systems ($2.9 million), Crucial
Security, Inc. ("Crucial") ($0.4 million) and the Air Traffic Control business
unit of SolaCom Technologies Inc. ("SolaCom ATC") ($0.3 million).

Note C - Adjustments to our RF Communications segment operating income for the
quarter ended October 2, 2009 are due to integration costs and the impact of a
step up in inventory associated with our acquisition of Wireless Systems ($6.5
million).  

Note D - Adjustments to our Government Communications Systems segment
operating income for the quarter ended October 2, 2009 are due to integration
costs associated with our acquisitions of Crucial ($0.4 million) and SolaCom
ATC ($0.3 million).

Note E - Adjustment for pre-tax charges of $255.5 million ($1.48 per diluted
share) for impairment of goodwill and other long-lived assets in our Broadcast
Communications segment.

Note F - Adjustment for pre-tax charges of $9.5 million ($.04 per diluted
share) for fiscal 2009 and estimated pre-tax charges of $20.0 million ($.10
per diluted share) for fiscal 2010, related to integration and other costs
associated with our acquisition of Wireless Systems.

Note G - Adjustment for estimated pre-tax charges of $2.5 million ($.01 per
diluted share) for fiscal 2010 related to integration costs associated with
our acquisitions of Crucial and SolaCom ATC.

Note H - The fiscal 2009 GAAP and non-GAAP income from continuing operations
per diluted share have been restated from $2.35 and $3.87, respectively, to
$2.34 and $3.86, respectively. The restatement reflects the impact of adopting
a new accounting standard that requires unvested share-based payment awards
that contain rights to receive nonforfeitable dividends to be treated as
participating securities and included in the calculations of income per basic
and diluted share.
