Summary
L3Harris Technologies, Inc. (then operating as Harris Corporation) filed this 8-K to disclose the impact of Hurricane Jeanne on its Florida operations. The company reported damage to several buildings across its Melbourne, Palm Bay, and Malabar sites, primarily from wind and water. While operations were temporarily closed on September 27, 2004, most facilities were operational by September 28, with a phased resumption of activities as repairs progressed. Importantly for investors, Harris management anticipates that the financial impact from both Hurricane Frances and Hurricane Jeanne will be immaterial to the company's first quarter and full fiscal year 2005 financial results. This disclosure aims to provide timely information under Regulation FD regarding operational disruptions and their expected limited financial consequences.
