Summary
L3Harris Technologies, Inc. (LHX) reported a net loss of $85.8 million for the quarter ended September 28, 2012, a significant shift from the net income of $121.6 million in the prior year's comparable quarter. This loss was primarily driven by a substantial charge related to discontinued operations, specifically impairment charges of $222.3 million for the divestiture of Broadcast Communications and the exit of its cyber integrated solutions operation (CIS). Excluding these discontinued operations, income from continuing operations was $128.5 million, a slight decrease from $131.1 million in the prior year, but earnings per diluted share saw a modest increase to $1.14 from $1.09, largely due to a reduction in outstanding shares. Revenue for the quarter declined by 5.6% to $1,261.5 million, attributed to lower sales in the RF Communications and Integrated Network Solutions segments, partially offset by growth in Government Communications Systems. The company highlights increased operating income in Integrated Network Solutions, despite revenue declines, due to the absence of acquisition-related charges from the prior year, and continued growth in Government Communications Systems. The company also strengthened its liquidity position by establishing a new $1 billion senior unsecured revolving credit facility and continued its share repurchase program, though at a lower pace than the previous year.
