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.
