What was the primary driver of the significant revenue increase in Q3 FY2016?

The primary driver of the significant revenue increase was the acquisition of Exelis, which was completed in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015. This acquisition integrated Exelis' operations into L3Harris's reporting, leading to substantial top-line growth across all business segments.

What led to the large impairment charge in the Critical Networks segment?

The $367 million non-cash impairment charge for goodwill and other assets in the Critical Networks segment was primarily due to the downturn in the energy market, which negatively impacted the operations of Harris CapRock Communications, a part of that segment. This downturn affected customer operations and the segment's financial outlook.

How is the company managing its liquidity and debt levels following the Exelis acquisition?

The company reported a net decrease in cash and cash equivalents for the first three quarters of FY2016, largely due to significant debt repayments related to financing the Exelis acquisition. Despite increased debt levels, the company had $302 million in cash and cash equivalents at the end of Q3 FY2016 and an undrawn $1 billion revolving credit facility, indicating sufficient liquidity to meet its obligations and anticipated working capital needs.

Has the company made any significant divestitures recently?

Yes, the company completed the divestiture of its composite aerostructures business (Aerostructures) on April 8, 2016, for $187 million in cash and the assumption of a $23 million capitalized lease. This business was part of the Electronic Systems segment.

LHX 10-Q Quarterly Report Q1 FY2017 — Revenue, Net Income, EPS

Summary

L3Harris Technologies (formerly Harris Corporation) reported its fiscal third-quarter 2016 results, demonstrating significant growth primarily driven by the acquisition of Exelis in the prior year. Revenue surged by 60.8% year-over-year to $1.9 billion, reflecting the consolidated performance of the acquired entity across all segments. Despite the revenue increase, the company faced challenges, notably a $367 million non-cash impairment charge related to goodwill and other assets in the Critical Networks segment, impacting net income. However, income from continuing operations before income taxes showed a healthy increase of 34.6%. Diluted EPS from continuing operations also saw an increase, though it was significantly impacted by the impairment charge over the year-to-date period. The company continues to manage its capital effectively, with a strong operating cash flow and an available revolving credit facility, while also returning capital to shareholders through dividends.
