What is the main purpose of this 8-K filing?

The main purpose of this 8-K filing is to update L3Harris Technologies' historical business segment information to reflect a change in its organizational structure and segment reporting that became effective at the start of fiscal year 2009.

How has L3Harris's business segment reporting changed?

The company has split its former Defense Communications and Electronics segment into two. The RF Communications business is now a standalone segment, and the Defense Programs business has been combined with the Government Communications Systems segment. The other two segments, Broadcast Communications and Harris Stratex Networks, remain unchanged. The company now reports four segments in total.

Does this change in segment reporting affect L3Harris's previously reported consolidated financial results?

No, the filing explicitly states that there is no impact on the company's previously reported consolidated statements of income, balance sheets, statements of cash flows, or statements of comprehensive income and shareholders' equity. The change only affects how historical results are presented across segments.

Where can investors find the updated segment information?

The updated segment information is provided in Exhibit 99 of this 8-K filing. This exhibit incorporates updates to specific sections (Item 1. Business, Item 7. MD&A, and Item 8. Financial Statements) of the company's Fiscal 2008 Form 10-K. Investors should also refer to subsequent Form 10-Q and 8-K filings for developments since the 2008 10-K.
