NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

September 27, 2013

Note A — Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Standards

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Harris Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries. As used in these Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) (these “Notes”), the terms “Harris,” “Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” refer to Harris Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries. Intracompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by Harris, without an audit, in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, such interim financial statements do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, such interim financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented therein. The results for the quarter ended September 27, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year or any subsequent period. The balance sheet at June 28, 2013 has been derived from the audited financial statements but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements. We provide complete financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, which includes information and footnotes required by the rules and regulations of the SEC. The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Report”) should be read in conjunction with the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 28, 2013 (our “Fiscal 2013 Form 10-K”).

See Note B — Discontinued Operations for information regarding discontinued operations. Except for disclosures related to our cash flows, or unless otherwise specified, disclosures in this Report relate solely to our continuing operations.

At the beginning of the first quarter of fiscal 2014, we changed our structure to manage our cyber security network testing operation (formerly part of our Government Communications Systems segment) as part of our Integrated Network Solutions segment in order to leverage the breadth of our information technology (“IT”) enterprise network and information assurance capabilities for the IT Services market, and as a result, reassigned $2.4 million of goodwill (determined on a relative fair value basis) from our Government Communications Systems segment to our Integrated Network Solutions segment. The historical results, discussion and presentation of our business segments as set forth in this Report have been adjusted to reflect the impact of this change to our business segment reporting structure for all periods presented in this Report.

Use of Estimates  

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and these Notes. These estimates and assumptions are based on experience and other information available prior to issuance of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and these Notes. Materially different results can occur as circumstances change and additional information becomes known.

Adoption of New Accounting Standards

In the first quarter of fiscal 2014, we adopted an accounting standard issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) that requires entities to provide details of reclassifications in the disclosure of changes in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) balances. In addition, for significant items reclassified out of AOCI in the fiscal quarter, entities must provide information about the effects on net income together, in one location, on the face of the statement where net income is presented, or as a separate disclosure in the notes. For items not reclassified to net income in their entirety in the fiscal quarter, entities must cross-reference to the note where additional details about the effects of the reclassifications are disclosed. The adoption of this update did not impact our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Effective

In March 2013, the FASB issued an accounting standards update that clarifies previous U.S. GAAP regarding the release of cumulative translation adjustment (“CTA”) into earnings in certain situations. When an entity ceases to have a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets within a consolidated foreign entity and the sale or transfer of such subsidiary or group of

Table of Contents

assets results in the complete or substantially complete liquidation of such foreign entity, any related CTA should be reclassified from AOCI and included in the calculation of the gain or loss on the sale or transfer. Upon a sale or complete or substantially complete liquidation of an investment in a consolidated foreign entity that results in either (1) a loss of a controlling financial interest in the foreign entity or (2) an acquirer obtaining control of an acquiree in which the acquirer held an equity interest immediately before the acquisition date in a business combination achieved in stages, any related CTA should be reclassified from AOCI and included in the calculation of the gain or loss on the sale or liquidation. For a sale of part of an ownership interest in a foreign investment that is accounted for as an equity method investment, a pro rata portion of CTA attributable to that investment should be reclassified from AOCI and included in the calculation of the gain or loss on the sale. This update is to be applied prospectively and is effective for fiscal years, and interim reporting periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013, which for us is our fiscal 2015. The adoption of this update will not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Note B — Discontinued Operations

In the third quarter of fiscal 2012, our Board of Directors approved a plan to exit our cyber integrated solutions operation (“CIS”), which provided remote cloud hosting, and to dispose of the related assets, and we reported CIS as discontinued operations beginning with our financial results presented in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the third quarter of fiscal 2012. On August 27, 2013, we completed the sale of the remaining assets of CIS for $35 million, including $28 million in cash and a $7 million subordinated promissory note. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, our Board of Directors approved a plan to divest our broadcast communications operation (“Broadcast Communications”), which provided digital media management solutions in support of broadcast customers, and we reported Broadcast Communications as discontinued operations beginning with our financial results presented in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2012. On February 4, 2013, we completed the sale of Broadcast Communications to an affiliate of The Gores Group, LLC pursuant to a definitive Asset Sale Agreement entered into December 5, 2012 for $225 million, including $160 million in cash, subject to customary adjustments (including a post-closing working capital adjustment, which is currently in dispute), a $15 million subordinated promissory note and an earnout of up to $50 million based on future performance. Should the dispute related to the post-closing working capital adjustment to the purchase price be resolved unfavorably to us, we believe such an outcome would not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Both CIS and Broadcast Communications were formerly part of our Integrated Network Solutions segment.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2014, discontinued operations consisted of a $4.9 million ($3.6 million after-tax) increase in the loss on sale of Broadcast Communications from miscellaneous adjustments for contingencies related to the disposition and a $3.1 million ($1.9 million after-tax) gain on the sale of the remaining assets of CIS. In the first quarter of fiscal 2013, the results of operations for Broadcast Communications and CIS included non-cash impairment charges of $216.5 million and $5.8 million, respectively.

Summarized financial information for our discontinued operations related to CIS and Broadcast Communications is as follows:

Note C — Stock Options and Other Share-Based Compensation

During the quarter ended September 27, 2013, we had two shareholder-approved employee stock incentive plans (“SIPs”) under which options or other share-based compensation was outstanding, and we had the following types of share-based awards outstanding under our SIPs: stock options, performance share awards, performance share unit awards, restricted stock awards and restricted stock unit awards. We believe that such awards more closely align the interests of employees with those of shareholders. Certain share-based awards provide for accelerated vesting if there is a change in control (as defined under our SIPs). The compensation cost related to our share-based awards that was charged against income was $8.4 million for the quarter ended September 27, 2013 and $6.0 million for the quarter ended September 28, 2012.

Grants to employees under our SIPs during the quarter ended September 27, 2013 consisted of 1,373,700 stock options, 305,650 performance share unit awards and 190,600 restricted stock unit awards. The fair value as of the grant date of each option award was determined using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model which used the following assumptions: expected dividend yield of 2.80 percent; expected volatility of 30.65 percent; risk-free interest rates averaging 1.66 percent; and expected term in years of 5.10. The fair value as of the grant date of each performance share unit award was determined based on a fair value from a multifactor Monte Carlo valuation model that simulates our stock price and total shareholder return (“TSR”) relative to other companies in our TSR peer group, less a discount to reflect the delay in payments of cash dividend-equivalents that are made only upon vesting.

Note D — Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss

The components of accumulated other comprehensive loss at September 27, 2013 and June 28, 2013 were as follows:

Potential dilutive common shares primarily consist of employee stock options and performance share and performance share unit awards. Employee stock options to purchase approximately 1,240,179 and 2,699,871 shares of our common stock were outstanding at September 27, 2013 and September 28, 2012, respectively, but were not included as dilutive stock options in the computations of income from continuing operations per diluted common share because the effect would have been antidilutive because the options’ exercise prices exceeded the average market price of our common stock.

Note K — Income Taxes

Our effective tax rate (income taxes as a percentage of income from continuing operations before income taxes) was 32.2 percent in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 compared with 31.6 percent in the first quarter of fiscal 2013. In the first quarter of fiscal 2014, our effective tax rate benefited from the settlement of a state tax audit. In the first quarter of fiscal 2013, our effective tax rate benefited from tax elections resulting in the deductibility of certain expenses, a reduction in estimated non-U.S. tax liabilities and a reduction in state taxes due to changes in certain state tax laws.

Note L — Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal market (or most advantageous market, in the absence of a principal market) for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Entities are required to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs in measuring fair value, and to utilize a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:

 

   

Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

9


Table of Contents
   

Level 2 — Observable inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable or are derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data by correlation or other means.

 

   

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity, are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities, and reflect our own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.

The following table presents the fair value hierarchy of our assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis (at least annually) as of September 27, 2013:

(3) Includes derivatives designated as hedging instruments, which we include in the “Other current assets” line item in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet (Unaudited). The fair value of these contracts was measured using a market approach based on quoted foreign currency forward exchange rates for contracts with similar maturities.
(4) Primarily represents obligations to pay benefits under certain non-qualified deferred compensation plans, which we include in the “Compensation and benefits” and “Other long-term liabilities” line items in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet (Unaudited). Under these plans, participants designate investment options (including money market, stock and fixed-income funds), which serve as the basis for measurement of the notional value of their accounts.
(5) Includes derivatives designated as hedging instruments, which we include in the “Other accrued items” line item in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet (Unaudited). The fair value of these contracts was measured using a market approach based on quoted foreign currency forward exchange rates for contracts with similar maturities.

(1) The fair value was estimated using a market approach based on quoted market prices for our debt traded in the secondary market. If our long-term debt in our balance sheet were measured at fair value, it would be categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Note M — Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

In the normal course of doing business, we are exposed to global market risks, including the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. We use derivative instruments to manage our exposure to such risks and formally document all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as the risk-management objective and strategy for undertaking hedge transactions. We recognize all derivatives in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet (Unaudited) at fair value. We do not hold or issue derivatives for trading purposes.

Table of Contents

At September 27, 2013, we had open foreign currency forward contracts with a notional amount of $153.9 million, of which $118.1 million were classified as fair value hedges and $35.8 million were classified as cash flow hedges. This compares with open foreign currency forward contracts with a notional amount of $58.5 million at June 28, 2013, of which $47.7 million were classified as fair value hedges and $10.8 million were classified as cash flow hedges. At September 27, 2013, contract expiration dates ranged from less than 1 month to 9 months with a weighted average contract life of 1 month.

Balance Sheet Hedges

To manage the exposure in our balance sheet to risks from changes in foreign currency exchange rates, we implement fair value hedges. More specifically, we use foreign currency forward contracts and options to hedge certain balance sheet items, including foreign currency denominated accounts receivable and inventory. Changes in the value of the derivatives and the related hedged items are reflected in earnings, in the “Cost of product sales and services” line item in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income (Unaudited). As of September 27, 2013, we had outstanding foreign currency forward contracts denominated in the Canadian Dollar, British Pound, Norwegian Krone, Singapore Dollar, Australian Dollar and Brazilian Real to hedge certain balance sheet items. The net gains or losses on foreign currency forward contracts designated as fair value hedges were not material for the quarter ended September 27, 2013 or for the quarter ended September 28, 2012. In addition, no amounts were recognized in earnings in the quarter ended September 27, 2013 or in the quarter ended September 28, 2012 related to hedged firm commitments that no longer qualify as fair value hedges.

Cash Flow Hedges

To manage our exposure to currency risk and market fluctuation risk associated with anticipated cash flows that are probable of occurring in the future, we implement cash flow hedges. More specifically, we use foreign currency forward contracts and options to hedge off-balance sheet future foreign currency commitments, including purchase commitments to suppliers, future committed sales to customers and intersegment transactions. These derivatives are primarily being used to hedge currency exposures from cash flows anticipated in our RF Communications and Integrated Network Solutions segments related to programs in Brazil and Canada. We also have hedged U.S. Dollar payments to suppliers to maintain our anticipated profit margins in our international operations. As of September 27, 2013, we had outstanding foreign currency forward contracts denominated in the Brazilian Real, British Pound, Australian Dollar and Canadian Dollar to hedge certain forecasted transactions.

These derivatives have only nominal intrinsic value at the time of purchase and have a high degree of correlation to the anticipated cash flows they are designated to hedge. Hedge effectiveness is determined by the correlation of the anticipated cash flows from the hedging instruments and the anticipated cash flows from the future foreign currency commitments through the maturity dates of the derivatives used to hedge these cash flows. These financial instruments are marked-to-market using forward prices and fair value quotes with the offset to other comprehensive income, net of hedge ineffectiveness. Gains and losses from other comprehensive income are reclassified to earnings when the related hedged item is recognized in earnings. The ineffective portion of a derivative’s change in fair value is immediately recognized in earnings. The cash flow impact of our derivatives is included in the same category in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows (Unaudited) as the cash flows of the related hedged items.

The net gains or losses from cash flow hedges recognized in earnings or recorded in other comprehensive income, including gains or losses related to hedge ineffectiveness, were not material in the quarter ended September 27, 2013 or in the quarter ended September 28, 2012. We do not expect the net gains or losses recognized in the “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” line item in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet (Unaudited) as of September 27, 2013 that will be reclassified to earnings from other comprehensive income within the next 12 months to be material.

Credit Risk

We are exposed to credit losses in the event of non-performance by counterparties to these financial instruments, but we do not expect any of the counterparties to fail to meet their obligations. To manage credit risks, we select counterparties based on credit ratings, limit our exposure to any single counterparty under defined guidelines and monitor the market position with each counterparty.

See Note L — Fair Value Measurements for the amount of the assets and liabilities related to these foreign currency forward contracts in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet (Unaudited) as of September 27, 2013, and see the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income (Unaudited) for additional information on changes in accumulated other comprehensive loss for the quarter ended September 27, 2013.

Note N — Changes in Estimates  

Estimates and assumptions, and changes therein, are important in connection with, among others, our segments’ revenue recognition policies related to development and production contracts. Revenue and profits related to development and production contracts are recognized using the percentage-of-completion method, generally based on the ratio of costs incurred to estimated total costs at completion (i.e., the cost-to-cost method). Revenue and profits on cost-reimbursable development and production contracts are recognized as allowable costs are incurred on the contract, and become billable to the customer, in an amount equal to the allowable costs plus the profit on those costs.

Development and production contracts are combined when specific aggregation criteria are met. Criteria generally include closely interrelated activities performed for a single customer within the same economic environment. Development and production contracts are generally not segmented. If development and production contracts are segmented, we have determined that they meet specific segmenting criteria. Change orders, claims or other items that may change the scope of a development and production contract are included in contract value only when the value can be reliably estimated and realization is probable. Possible incentives or penalties and award fees applicable to performance on development and production contracts are considered in estimating contract value and profit rates and are recorded when there is sufficient information to assess anticipated contract performance. Incentive provisions that increase earnings based solely on a single significant event are generally not recognized until the event occurs.

Under the percentage-of-completion method of accounting, a single estimated total profit margin is used to recognize profit for each development and production contract over its period of performance. Recognition of profit on development and production fixed-price contracts requires estimates of the total cost at completion and the measurement of progress toward completion. The estimated profit or loss on a development and production contract is equal to the difference between the estimated contract value and the estimated total cost at completion. Due to the long-term nature of many of our programs, developing the estimated total cost at completion often requires judgment. Factors that must be considered in estimating the cost of the work to be completed include the nature and complexity of the work to be performed, subcontractor performance, the risk and impact of delayed performance, availability and timing of funding from the customer and the recoverability of any claims outside the original development and production contract included in the estimate to complete. At the outset of each contract, we gauge its complexity and perceived risks and establish an estimated total cost at completion in line with these expectations. After establishing the estimated total cost at completion, we follow a standard Estimate at Completion (“EAC”) process in which management reviews the progress and performance on our ongoing development and production contracts at least quarterly and, in many cases, more frequently. If we successfully retire risks associated with the technical, schedule and cost aspects of a contract, we may lower our estimated total cost at completion commensurate with the retirement of these risks. Conversely, if we are not successful in retiring these risks, we may increase our estimated total cost at completion. Additionally, at the outset of a cost-reimbursable contract (for example, contracts containing award or incentive fees), we establish an estimate of total contract value, or revenue, based on our expectation of performance on the contract. As the cost-reimbursable contract progresses, our estimates of total contract value may increase or decrease if, for example, we receive higher or lower than expected award fees. When adjustments in estimated total costs at completion or in estimates of total contract value are determined, the related impact to operating income is recognized using the cumulative catch-up method, which recognizes in the current period the cumulative effect of such adjustments for all prior periods. Anticipated losses on development and production contracts or programs in progress are charged to operating income when identified. Net EAC adjustments resulting from changes in estimates favorably impacted our operating income by $12.3 million ($0.07 per diluted share) in the quarter ended September 27, 2013 and by $12.3 million ($0.07 per diluted share) in the quarter ended September 28, 2012.

Note O — Business Segments

We structure our operations primarily around the products and services we sell and the markets we serve, and we report the financial results of our operations in the following three reportable operating or business segments — RF Communications, Integrated Network Solutions and Government Communications Systems. Our RF Communications segment is a global supplier of secure tactical radio communications and embedded high-grade encryption solutions for military, government and commercial customers and also of secure communications systems and equipment for public safety, utility and transportation organizations. Our Integrated Network Solutions segment provides government, energy, maritime and healthcare customers with integrated communications and information technology and services, including mission-critical end-to-end IT services, managed satellite and terrestrial communications solutions and standards-based healthcare interoperability solutions. Our Government Communications Systems segment conducts advanced research and develops, produces, integrates and supports advanced communications and information systems that solve the mission-critical challenges of our civilian, intelligence and defense government customers worldwide, primarily the U.S. Government. Each business segment is comprised of multiple program areas and product and service lines that aggregate into such business segment.

See Note B — Discontinued Operations for information regarding discontinued operations. Except for disclosures related to our cash flows, or unless otherwise specified, disclosures in this Report relate solely to our continuing operations.

As discussed in Note A — Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Standards , at the beginning of the first quarter of fiscal 2014, we changed our structure to manage our cyber security network testing operation (formerly part of our Government Communications Systems segment) as part of our Integrated Network Solutions segment in order to leverage the breadth of our IT enterprise network and information assurance capabilities for the IT Services market. The historical results, discussion and presentation of our business segments as set forth in this Report have been adjusted to reflect the impact of this change to our business segment reporting structure for all periods presented in this Report.

The accounting policies of our business segments are the same as those described in Note 1: “Significant Accounting Policies” in our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our Fiscal 2013 Form 10-K and in Note N — Changes in Estimates . We evaluate each segment’s performance based on its operating income or loss, which we define as profit or loss from operations before income taxes excluding interest income and expense, royalties and related intellectual property expenses, equity method investment income or loss and gains or losses from securities and other investments. Intersegment sales are generally transferred at cost to the buying segment and the sourcing segment recognizes a profit that is eliminated. The “Corporate eliminations” line item in the tables below represents the elimination of intersegment sales and their related profits. The “Unallocated corporate expense” line item in the tables below represents the portion of corporate expenses not allocated to our business segments.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors and Shareholders of Harris Corporation

We have reviewed the condensed consolidated balance sheet of Harris Corporation as of September 27, 2013, and the related condensed consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income and cash flows for the quarters ended September 27, 2013 and September 28, 2012. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.

We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the condensed consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of Harris Corporation as of June 28, 2013, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, cash flows, and equity, for the year then ended (not presented herein) and in our report dated August 26, 2013, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 28, 2013, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

OVERVIEW

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis (this “MD&A”) is intended to assist in an understanding of our financial condition and results of operations. This MD&A is provided as a supplement to, should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) and accompanying Notes appearing elsewhere in this Report. In addition, reference should be made to our audited Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in our Fiscal 2013 Form 10-K. Except for the historical information contained herein, the discussions in this MD&A contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our future results could differ materially from those discussed herein. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed below in this MD&A under “Forward-Looking Statements and Factors that May Affect Future Results.”

The following is a list of the sections of this MD&A, together with our perspective on the contents of these sections of this MD&A, which we hope will assist in reading these pages:

 

   

Results of Operations — an analysis of our consolidated results of operations and of the results in each of our three business segments, to the extent the business segment operating results are helpful to an understanding of our business as a whole, for the periods presented in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited). In this section of this MD&A, “income from continuing operations” refers to income from continuing operations attributable to Harris Corporation common shareholders.

Revenue

Revenue decreased in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2013 in each of our business segments. The $43 million decrease in revenue in our Government Communications Systems segment was primarily due to lower revenue from the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite — Series R (“GOES-R”) weather program for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (“NOAA”) and from U.S. Department of Defense (“DoD”) customers, partially offset by higher revenue from certain civil agency customers, including the Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”), and from classified customers. The $22 million decrease in revenue in our RF Communications segment was primarily due to lower Public Safety and Professional Communications revenue. The $10 million decrease in revenue in our Integrated Network Solutions segment was primarily due to lower IT Services and Harris CapRock Communications revenue. See the “Discussion of Business Segment Results of Operations” discussion below in this MD&A for further information.

Gross Margin

Gross margin in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 was essentially flat with the first quarter of fiscal 2013, despite the revenue decrease, due to decreases in cost of product sales and services as a result of operational savings and a favorable sales mix. Gross margin as a percentage of revenue (“gross margin percentage”) increased, reflecting gross margin percentage point increases of 2.9, 2.5 and 1.4 at our Government Communications Systems, RF Communications and Integrated Network Solutions segments, respectively. See the “Discussion of Business Segment Results of Operations” discussion below in this MD&A for further information.

Table of Contents

Engineering, Selling and Administrative Expenses

The increase in engineering, selling and administrative (“ESA”) expenses as a percentage of revenue (“ESA percentage”) in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2013 was primarily due to increased spending on research and development, accruals in general and administrative expenses for legal matters, and lower general and administrative expenses in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 due to a decrease in reserves for U.S. telecommunications fees and international business receipts taxes, partially offset by lower ESA expenses in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 due to cost-reduction actions taken in fiscal 2013. ESA percentage point increases were 2.0, 2.0 and 0.7 at our Integrated Network Solutions, Government Communications Systems and RF Communications segments, respectively. See the “Discussion of Business Segment Results of Operations” discussion below in this MD&A for further information.

Non-Operating Income

Non-operating income in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 was due to $1.3 million of net royalty income. In the first quarter of fiscal 2013, we had a $6.0 million gain on the sale of securities available-for-sale, which was offset, primarily by a $5.8 million impairment of a cost-method investment. See Note J — Non-Operating Income in the Notes for further information.

Net Interest Expense

The decrease in net interest expense in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2013 was primarily due to lower debt levels as a result of our optional redemption on May 28, 2013 of the entire outstanding $300 million principal amount of our 5% Notes due October 1, 2015.

Income Taxes

In the first quarter of fiscal 2014, our effective tax rate (income taxes as a percentage of income from continuing operations before income taxes) benefited from the settlement of a state tax audit. In the first quarter of fiscal 2013, our effective tax rate benefited from tax elections resulting in the deductibility of certain expenses, a reduction in estimated non-U.S. tax liabilities and a reduction in state taxes due to changes in certain state tax laws.

Discontinued Operations, Net of Income Taxes

In the first quarter of fiscal 2014, discontinued operations consisted of a $4.9 million ($3.6 million after-tax) increase in the loss on sale of Broadcast Communications from miscellaneous adjustments for contingencies related to the disposition and a $3.1 million ($1.9 million after-tax) gain on the sale of the remaining assets of CIS. In the first quarter of fiscal 2013, the results of operations for Broadcast Communications and CIS included non-cash impairment charges of $216.5 million and $5.8 million, respectively. See Note B — Discontinued Operations in the Notes for further information.

Income From Continuing Operations Per Diluted Common Share Attributable to Harris Corporation Common Shareholders

The increase in income from continuing operations per diluted common share in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2013 was primarily due to the significant reduction in average common shares outstanding as a result of shares repurchased. See the “Common Stock Repurchases” discussion below in this MD&A for further information.

Segment revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 included $305.0 million in Tactical Communications, essentially flat with the first quarter of fiscal 2013; and $118.1 million in Public Safety and Professional Communications, a 14 percent decrease from $138.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2013. The decrease in Public Safety and Professional Communications revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2013 reflects both the general weakness across system and terminal sales in state and local government markets and Federal government orders booking too late in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 to convert to revenue in the quarter.

Segment gross margin in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 was essentially flat with the first quarter of fiscal 2013, despite the revenue decrease, due to a similar decrease in cost of product sales and services, primarily driven by operational savings and a favorable product mix within both Tactical Communications and Public Safety and Professional Communications, which resulted in an increase in segment gross margin percentage. Segment ESA expenses in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 decreased from the first quarter of fiscal 2013, primarily due to the benefit of cost-reduction actions taken in fiscal 2013 that was mostly offset by accruals for legal matters related to a Public Safety and Professional Communications program. The increase in ESA percentage in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2013 was primarily due to accruals for legal matters as noted above. The increases in segment operating income and segment operating income as a percentage of revenue (“operating margin percentage”) in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2013 reflected the items discussed above and were primarily due to the improvement in segment gross margin percentage.

Segment revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2013 decreased due to lower revenue from U.S. Government customers in both IT Services and Harris CapRock Communications, primarily reflecting U.S. Government budget uncertainties and sequestration.

The increases in segment gross margin and segment gross margin percentage in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2013 were primarily attributable to increases in the gross margin percentage on satellite and terrestrial communications services. The increases in segment ESA expenses and ESA percentage in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2013 were primarily due to higher spending on research and development and lower general and administrative expenses in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 due to a decrease in reserves for U.S. telecommunications fees and international business receipts taxes. The decreases in segment operating income and operating margin percentage in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2013 were primarily due to increases in ESA expenses and ESA percentage, as noted above.

Segment revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2013 decreased primarily due to the timing of the transition of the GOES-R weather program for NOAA to an integration and test phase. Revenue increases from other civil agency customers, including the FAA, and from classified customers, were offset by lower revenue from DoD customers.

The increases in segment gross margin, despite lower revenue, and in segment gross margin percentage in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2013 were due to continued strong program performance, including the retirement of risk on certain space programs. The increases in segment ESA expenses and ESA percentage in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2013 were primarily due to an increase in spending on research and development, partially offset by lower ESA expenses due to cost-reduction actions taken in fiscal 2013. The decrease in segment operating income in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2013 was primarily due to lower revenue, and the increase in operating margin percentage was primarily due to the increase in gross margin percentage, as noted above.

The decrease in unallocated corporate expense in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2013 was primarily due to cost-reduction actions taken in fiscal 2013. The increase in corporate eliminations in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2013 was primarily due to higher intersegment eliminations for sales of services between our Government Communications Systems segment and our Integrated Network Solutions segment.

Cash and cash equivalents: Our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows (Unaudited) includes cash flows from Broadcast Communications and CIS. Our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet (Unaudited) as of the end of fiscal 2013 reflects CIS as discontinued operations. The impact of cash flows from Broadcast Communications and CIS to our consolidated cash flows was not material in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 or in the first quarter of 2013, other than for $32.4 million of net cash used in operating activities by Broadcast Communications in the first quarter of fiscal 2013, and $27.0 million provided by investing activities from proceeds from the sale of CIS in the first quarter of fiscal 2014.

Our cash and cash equivalents increased $16.2 million to $337.2 million at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2014 from $321.0 million at the end of fiscal 2013. The increase was primarily due to $172.6 million of net cash provided by operating activities, $62.6 million of proceeds from exercises of employee stock options and $27.0 million of net proceeds from the sale of the remaining assets of CIS, mostly offset by $106.7 million used to repurchase shares of our common stock, $64.5 million used for net repayments of borrowings, $45.3 million used to pay cash dividends and $33.4 million used for additions of property, plant and equipment. Our cash and cash equivalents decreased $29.2 million to $326.8 million at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2013 from $356.0 million at the end of fiscal 2012. The decrease was primarily due to $70.8 million used for net repayments of borrowings, $63.9 million used to repurchase shares of our common stock, $43.7 million used for additions of property, plant, and equipment and capitalized software and $41.9 million used to pay cash dividends, mostly offset by $120.5 million of net cash provided by operating activities and $60.5 million of proceeds from exercises of employee stock options.

Our financial position remained strong at September 27, 2013. We ended the first quarter of fiscal 2014 with cash and cash equivalents of $337.2 million; we have no long-term debt maturing until fiscal 2018; we have a senior unsecured $1 billion revolving credit facility that expires in September 2017 (approximately $770 million of which was available to us as of September 27, 2013 due to the consolidated total indebtedness to total capital ratio limit in the covenants in such credit facility); and we do not have any material defined benefit pension plan obligations. Our $337.2 million of cash and cash equivalents at September 27, 2013 included $150 million held by our foreign subsidiaries, $116 million of which was available for use in the U.S. without incurring additional U.S. income taxes. We would be required to recognize U.S. income taxes of $9 million on the remaining $34 million if we were to repatriate such funds to the U.S., but we have no current plans to repatriate such funds.

Given our current cash position, outlook for funds generated from operations, credit ratings, available credit facility, cash needs and debt structure, we have not experienced to date, and do not expect to experience, any material issues with liquidity, although we can give no assurances concerning our future liquidity, particularly in light of the U.S. Government budget uncertainties and the state of global commerce and financial uncertainty.

We also currently believe that existing cash, funds generated from operations, our credit facility and access to the public and private debt and equity markets will be sufficient to provide for our anticipated working capital requirements, capital expenditures, dividend payments and repurchases under our share repurchase programs for the next 12 months and for the reasonably foreseeable future thereafter. We anticipate tax payments over the next three years to be approximately equal to our tax expense for the same period. Other than those cash outlays noted in the “Commercial Commitments and Contractual Obligations” discussion below in this MD&A, capital expenditures, dividend payments, repurchases under our share repurchase programs and potential acquisitions, no other significant cash outlays are anticipated during the remainder of fiscal 2014.

Table of Contents

There can be no assurance, however, that our business will continue to generate cash flows at current levels or that the cost or availability of future borrowings, if any, under our commercial paper program or our credit facility or in the debt markets will not be impacted by any potential future credit and capital markets disruptions. If we are unable to maintain cash balances or generate sufficient cash flow from operations to service our obligations, we may be required to sell assets, reduce capital expenditures, reduce or eliminate strategic acquisitions, reduce or terminate our share repurchases, reduce or eliminate dividends, refinance all or a portion of our existing debt or obtain additional financing. Our ability to make principal payments or pay interest on or refinance our indebtedness depends on our future performance and financial results, which, to a certain extent, are subject to general conditions in or affecting the defense, government and integrated communications and information technology and services markets and to general economic, political, financial, competitive, legislative and regulatory factors beyond our control.

Net cash provided by operating activities: Our net cash provided by operating activities was $172.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 compared with $120.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2013. The increase in net cash provided by operating activities in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2013 was primarily due to strong working capital management. Our net cash provided by operating activities in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 included $32.4 million of net cash used in operating activities by Broadcast Communications.

Net cash used in investing activities: Our net cash used in investing activities was $6.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 compared with $36.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2013. The decrease in net cash used in investing activities in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2013 was primarily due to $27.0 million of proceeds received from our sale of the remaining assets of CIS in the first quarter of fiscal 2014. Our total capital expenditures in fiscal 2014 are expected to be approximately $250 million.

Net cash used in financing activities: Our net cash used in financing activities was $153.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 compared with $116.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2013. The increase in net cash used in financing activities in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2013 was primarily due to an additional $42.8 million of cash used to repurchase shares of our common stock in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2013.

Common Stock Repurchases

During the first quarter of fiscal 2014, we used $100.0 million to repurchase 1,746,122 shares of our common stock under our 2011 Repurchase Program (as defined below) at an average price per share of $57.28, including commissions. During the first quarter of fiscal 2013, we used $50.0 million to repurchase 1,078,044 shares of our common stock under our 2011 Repurchase Program at an average price per share of $46.38, including commissions. In the first quarter of fiscal 2014 and first quarter of fiscal 2013, $6.7 million and $13.9 million, respectively, in shares of our common stock were delivered to us or withheld by us to satisfy withholding taxes on employee share-based awards. Shares repurchased by us are cancelled and retired.

On August 23, 2013, our Board of Directors approved a new $1 billion share repurchase program (our “New Repurchase Program”). Our New Repurchase Program is in addition to our prior share repurchase program approved in 2011 (our “2011 Repurchase Program”), which had a remaining, unused authorization of approximately $33 million as of September 27, 2013 and does not have a stated expiration date. Our New Repurchase Program also does not have a stated expiration date. Our repurchase programs have resulted, and are expected to continue to result, in repurchases in excess of the dilutive effect of shares issued under our share-based incentive plans. However, the level of our repurchases depends on a number of factors, including our financial condition, capital requirements, cash flows, results of operations, future business prospects and other factors our Board of Directors may deem relevant. Repurchases are expected to be funded with available cash and commercial paper and may be made through open market purchases, private transactions, transactions structured through investment banking institutions or any combination thereof. The timing, volume and nature of repurchases are subject to market conditions, applicable securities laws and other factors and are at our discretion and may be suspended or discontinued at any time.

Additional information regarding share repurchases during the first quarter of fiscal 2014 and our repurchase programs is set forth in this Report under Part II. Item 2. “Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.”

Dividends

On August 23, 2013, our Board of Directors increased the quarterly cash dividend rate on our common stock from $.37 per share to $.42 per share, for an annualized cash dividend rate of $1.68 per share, which was our twelfth consecutive annual increase in our quarterly cash dividend rate. Our annualized cash dividend rate was $1.48 per share in fiscal 2013. There can be no assurances that our annualized cash dividend rate will continue to increase. Quarterly cash dividends are typically paid in March, June, September and December. We currently expect that cash dividends will continue to be paid in the near future, but we can give no assurances concerning payment of future dividends. The declaration of dividends and the amount thereof will depend on a number of factors, including our financial condition, capital requirements, cash flows, results of operations, future business prospects and other factors that our Board of Directors may deem relevant.

Capital Structure and Resources

2012 Credit Agreement:  On September 28, 2012, we established a new $1 billion 5-year senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the “2012 Credit Facility”) by entering into a Revolving Credit Agreement (the “2012 Credit Agreement”) with a syndicate of lenders. The 2012 Credit Facility replaced our prior revolving credit facilities. For a description of the 2012 Credit Facility and the 2012 Credit Agreement, see Note 11: “Credit Arrangements” in our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our Fiscal 2013 Form 10-K.

We were in compliance with the covenants in the 2012 Credit Agreement at September 27, 2013, including the covenant requiring that we not permit our ratio of consolidated total indebtedness to total capital, each as defined in the 2012 Credit Agreement, to be greater than 0.60 to 1.00 at any time. At September 27, 2013, we had no borrowings outstanding under the 2012 Credit Agreement, but we had $75 million of short-term debt outstanding under our commercial paper program that was supported by the 2012 Credit Facility.

Short-Term Debt: Our short-term debt at September 27, 2013 and June 28, 2013 was $88.6 million and $144.6 million, respectively. Our short-term debt at June 28, 2013 and September 27, 2013 primarily consisted of commercial paper issued to partially fund our optional redemption on May 28, 2013 of the entire outstanding $300 million principal amount of our 5% Notes due October 1, 2015. Our commercial paper program was supported at September 27, 2013 and June 28, 2013 by our $1 billion 2012 Credit Facility.

Other: We have an automatically effective, universal shelf registration statement, filed with the SEC on February 27, 2013, related to the potential future issuance of an indeterminate amount of securities, including debt securities, preferred stock, common stock, fractional interests in preferred stock represented by depositary shares and warrants to purchase debt securities, preferred stock or common stock.

We expect to maintain operating ratios, fixed-charge coverage ratios and balance sheet ratios sufficient for retention of, or improvement to, our current debt ratings. There are no assurances that our debt ratings will not be reduced in the future. If our debt ratings are lowered below “investment grade,” we may not be able to issue short-term commercial paper, but may instead need to borrow under our credit facility or pursue other options. In addition, if our debt ratings are lowered by at least two levels from our current debt ratings, we may also be required to provide collateral to support a portion of our outstanding performance bonds. For a discussion of such performance bonds, see the “Commercial Commitments” discussion in Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Fiscal 2013 Form 10-K. We do not currently expect a downgrade of our current debt ratings, but no assurances can be given. If our debt ratings are downgraded, it could adversely impact, among other things, our future borrowing costs and access to capital markets and our ability to receive certain types of contract awards.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

In accordance with the definition under SEC rules, any of the following qualify as off-balance sheet arrangements:

 

   

Any obligation under certain guarantee contracts;

 

   

A retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity or similar entity or similar arrangement that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support to that entity for such assets;

 

   

Any obligation, including a contingent obligation, under certain derivative instruments; and

 

   

Any obligation, including a contingent obligation, under a material variable interest held by the registrant in an unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit risk support to the registrant, or engages in leasing, hedging or research and development services with the registrant.

Currently we are not participating in any material transactions that generate relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, including variable interest entities, and we do not have any material retained or contingent interest in assets as defined above. As of September 27, 2013, we did not have material financial guarantees or other contractual commitments that are reasonably likely to adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. In addition, we are not currently a party to any related party transactions that materially affect our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

We have, from time to time, divested certain of our businesses and assets. In connection with these divestitures, we often provide representations, warranties and/or indemnities to cover various risks and unknown liabilities, such as environmental liabilities and tax liabilities. We cannot estimate the potential liability from such representations, warranties and indemnities because they relate to unknown conditions. We do not believe, however, that the liabilities relating to these representations, warranties and indemnities will have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

Due to our downsizing of certain operations pursuant to acquisitions, restructuring plans or otherwise, certain properties leased by us have been sublet to third parties. In the event any of these third parties vacates any of these premises, we would be legally obligated under master lease arrangements. We believe that the financial risk of default by such sublessees is individually and in the aggregate not material to our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

Commercial Commitments and Contractual Obligations

The amounts disclosed in our Fiscal 2013 Form 10-K include our contractual obligations and commercial commitments. During the first quarter ended September 27, 2013, no material changes occurred in our contractual cash obligations to repay debt, to purchase goods and services and to make payments under operating leases or our commercial commitments and contingent liabilities on outstanding surety bonds, standby letters of credit and other arrangements as disclosed in our Fiscal 2013 Form 10-K.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) and accompanying Notes are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Preparing financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are affected by the application of our accounting policies. Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 1: “Significant Accounting Policies” in our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Fiscal 2013 Form 10-K and in Note N — Changes in Estimates in the Notes. Critical accounting policies and estimates are those that require application of management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods. Critical accounting policies and estimates for us include: (i) revenue recognition on contracts and contract estimates (discussed in greater detail in the following paragraphs), (ii) provisions for excess and obsolete inventory losses, (iii) impairment testing of goodwill, and (iv) income taxes and tax valuation allowances. For additional discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates, see the “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” discussion in Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Fiscal 2013 Form 10-K.

Revenue Recognition

A significant portion of our business is derived from development and production contracts. Revenue and profits related to development and production contracts are recognized using the percentage-of-completion method, generally based on the ratio of costs incurred to estimated total costs at completion (i.e., the “cost-to-cost” method) with consideration given for risk of performance and estimated profit. Revenue in our Government Communications Systems segment primarily relates to development and production contracts, and the percentage-of-completion method of revenue recognition is primarily used for these contracts. Change orders, claims or other items that may change the scope of a development and production contract are included in contract value only when the value can be reliably estimated and realization is probable. Possible incentives or penalties and award fees applicable to performance on development and production contracts are considered in estimating contract value and profit rates and are recorded when there is sufficient information to assess anticipated contract performance. Incentive provisions that increase earnings based solely on a single significant event are generally not recognized until the event occurs.

Under the percentage-of-completion method of accounting, a single estimated total profit margin is used to recognize profit for each development and production contract over its period of performance. Recognition of profit on development and production fixed-price contracts requires estimates of the total cost at completion and the measurement of progress toward completion. The estimated profit or loss on a development and production contract is equal to the difference between the estimated contract value and the estimated total cost at completion. Due to the long-term nature of many of our programs, developing the estimated total cost at completion often requires judgment. Factors that must be considered in estimating the cost of the work to be completed include the nature and complexity of the work to be performed, subcontractor performance, the risk and impact of delayed performance, availability and timing of funding from the customer and the recoverability of any claims outside the original development and production contract included in the estimate to complete. At the outset of each contract, we gauge its complexity and perceived risks and establish an estimated total cost at completion in line with these expectations. After establishing the estimated total cost at completion, we follow a standard Estimate at Completion process in which management reviews the progress and performance on our ongoing development and production contracts at least quarterly and, in many cases, more frequently. If we successfully retire risks associated with the technical, schedule and cost aspects of a contract, we may lower our estimated total cost at completion commensurate with the retirement of these risks. Conversely, if we are not successful in retiring these risks, we may increase our estimated total cost at completion. Additionally, at the outset of a cost-reimbursable contract (for example, contracts containing award or incentive fees), we establish an estimate of total contract value, or revenue, based on our expectation of performance on the

Table of Contents

contract. As the cost-reimbursable contract progresses, our estimates of total contract value may increase or decrease if, for example, we receive higher or lower than expected award fees. When adjustments in estimated total costs at completion or in estimates of total contract value are determined, the related impact to operating income is recognized using the cumulative catch-up method, which recognizes in the current period the cumulative effect of such adjustments for all prior periods. Anticipated losses on development and production contracts or programs in progress are charged to operating income when identified. We have not made any material changes in the methodologies used to recognize revenue on development and production contracts or to estimate our costs related to development and production contracts in the past three fiscal years.

Estimate at Completion adjustments had the following impacts to operating income for the periods presented:

There were no individual impacts to operating income due to Estimate at Completion adjustments in the quarter ended September 27, 2013 or in the quarter ended September 28, 2012 that were material to our results of operations on a consolidated or segment basis for such periods.

Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards

Accounting standards issued but not effective for us until after September 27, 2013 are not expected to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS

This Report contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, as well as assumptions that, if they do not materialize or prove correct, could cause our results to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by such forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of historical fact are statements that could be deemed forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, statements concerning: our plans, strategies and objectives for future operations; new products, systems, technologies, services or developments; future economic conditions, performance or outlook; the outcome of contingencies; the potential level of share repurchases or dividends; the value of our contract awards and programs; expected cash flows or capital expenditures; our beliefs or expectations; activities, events or developments that we intend, expect, project, believe or anticipate will or may occur in the future; and assumptions underlying any of the foregoing. Forward-looking statements may be identified by their use of forward-looking terminology, such as “believes,” “expects,” “may,” “should,” “would,” “will,” “intends,” “plans,” “estimates,” “anticipates,” “projects” and similar words or expressions. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which reflect our management’s opinions only as of the date of the filing of this Report and are not guarantees of future performance or actual results. Forward-looking statements are made in reliance on the safe harbor provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The following are some of the factors we believe could cause our actual results to differ materially from our historical results or our current expectations or projections:

 

   

We depend on U.S. Government customers for a significant portion of our revenue, and the loss of this relationship or a shift in U.S. Government funding priorities could have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

 

   

We depend significantly on U.S. Government contracts, which often are only partially funded, subject to immediate termination, and heavily regulated and audited. The termination or failure to fund, or negative audit findings for, one or more of these contracts could have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

 

   

We could be negatively impacted by a security breach, through cyber attack, cyber intrusion or otherwise, or other significant disruption of our IT networks and related systems or of those we operate for certain of our customers.

 

   

We enter into fixed-price contracts that could subject us to losses in the event of cost overruns or a significant increase in inflation.

 

   

We derive a significant portion of our revenue from international operations and are subject to the risks of doing business internationally, including fluctuations in currency exchange rates.

 

   

Our reputation and ability to do business may be impacted by the improper conduct of our employees, agents or business partners.

 

25


Table of Contents
   

We may not be successful in obtaining the necessary export licenses to conduct certain operations abroad, and Congress may prevent proposed sales to certain foreign governments.

 

   

The continued effects of the general weakness in the global economy and the U.S. Government’s budget deficits, national debt, continuing resolutions and sequestration could have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

 

   

Our future success will depend on our ability to develop new products, systems, services and technologies that achieve market acceptance in our current and future markets.

 

   

We participate in markets that are often subject to uncertain economic conditions, which makes it difficult to estimate growth in our markets and, as a result, future income and expenditures.

 

   

We cannot predict the consequences of future geo-political events, but they may adversely affect the markets in which we operate, our ability to insure against risks, our operations or our profitability.

 

   

We have made, and may continue to make, strategic acquisitions and divestitures that involve significant risks and uncertainties.

 

   

Disputes with our subcontractors and the inability of our subcontractors to perform, or our key suppliers to timely deliver our components, parts or services, could cause our products or services to be produced or delivered in an untimely or unsatisfactory manner.

 

   

Third parties have claimed in the past and may claim in the future that we are infringing directly or indirectly upon their intellectual property rights, and third parties may infringe upon our intellectual property rights.

 

   

The outcome of litigation or arbitration in which we are involved is unpredictable and an adverse decision in any such matter could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

 

   

We face certain significant risk exposures and potential liabilities that may not be covered adequately by insurance or indemnity.

 

   

Changes in our effective tax rate may have an adverse effect on our results of operations.

 

   

We have significant operations in locations that could be materially and adversely impacted in the event of a natural disaster or other significant disruption.

 

   

Changes in the regulatory framework under which our managed satellite and terrestrial communications solutions operations are operated could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

 

   

We rely on third parties to provide satellite bandwidth for our managed satellite and terrestrial communications solutions, and any bandwidth constraints could harm our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

 

   

Changes in future business or other market conditions could cause business investments and/or recorded goodwill or other long-term assets to become impaired, resulting in substantial losses and write-downs that would reduce our results of operations.

 

   

We must attract and retain key employees, and failure to do so could seriously harm us.

Additional details and discussions concerning some of the factors that could affect our forward-looking statements or future results are set forth in our Fiscal 2013 Form 10-K under Item 1A. “Risk Factors.” The foregoing list of factors and the factors set forth in Item 1A. “Risk Factors” included in our Fiscal 2013 Form 10-K and in Part II. Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in this Report are not exhaustive. Additional risks and uncertainties not known to us or that we currently believe not to be material also may adversely impact our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Should any risks or uncertainties develop into actual events, these developments could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. The forward-looking statements contained in this Report are made as of the date hereof and we disclaim any intention or obligation, other than imposed by law, to update or revise any forward-looking statements or to update the reasons actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or developments or otherwise. For further information concerning risk factors, see Part II. Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in this Report.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

In the normal course of doing business, we are exposed to the risks associated with foreign currency exchange rates and changes in interest rates. We employ established policies and procedures governing the use of financial instruments to manage our exposure to such risks.

Foreign Exchange and Currency: We use foreign currency forward contracts and options to hedge both balance sheet and off-balance sheet future foreign currency commitments. Factors that could impact the effectiveness of our hedging programs for foreign currency include accuracy of sales estimates, volatility of currency markets and the cost and availability of hedging instruments. A 10 percent change in currency exchange rates for our foreign currency derivatives held at September 27, 2013 would not have had a material impact on the fair value of such instruments or our results of operations or cash flows. This quantification of exposure to the market risk associated with foreign currency financial instruments does not take into account the offsetting impact of changes in the fair value of our foreign denominated assets, liabilities and firm commitments. See Note M — Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities in the Notes for additional information.

 

26


Table of Contents

Interest Rates: As of September 27, 2013, we had long-term debt obligations. The fair value of our long-term debt obligations is impacted by changes in interest rates; however, a 10 percent change in interest rates for our long-term debt obligations at September 27, 2013 would not have had a material impact on the fair value of such long-term debt obligations. Additionally, there is no interest rate risk associated with our long-term debt obligations on our results of operations and cash flows, because the interest rates on our long-term debt obligations are fixed, and because our long-term debt is not putable (redeemable at the option of the holders of the debt prior to maturity).

As of September 27, 2013, we also had short-term variable-rate debt outstanding, primarily under our commercial paper program, subject to interest rate risk. We utilize our commercial paper program to satisfy short-term cash requirements, including bridge financing for strategic acquisitions until longer-term financing arrangements are put in place, temporarily funding repurchases under our share repurchase programs and temporarily funding redemption of long-term debt. The interest rate risk associated with this short-term debt on our results of operations and cash flows is not material.

We can give no assurances, however, that interest rates will not change significantly or have a material effect on the fair value of our long-term debt obligations or on our results of operations or cash flows over the next twelve months.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures: We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms. Our disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives, and management necessarily is required to use its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, as of the end of the quarter ended September 27, 2013, we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer. Based on this work and other evaluation procedures, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, has concluded that as of the end of the quarter ended September 27, 2013 our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

(b) Changes in Internal Control: We periodically review our internal control over financial reporting as part of our efforts to ensure compliance with the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. In addition, we routinely review our system of internal control over financial reporting to identify potential changes to our processes and systems that may improve controls and increase efficiency, while ensuring that we maintain an effective internal control environment. Changes may include such activities as implementing new, more efficient systems, consolidating the activities of business units, migrating certain processes to our shared services organizations, formalizing policies and procedures, improving segregation of duties and increasing monitoring controls. In addition, when we acquire new businesses, we incorporate our controls and procedures into the acquired business as part of our integration activities. There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 27, 2013 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

General. From time to time, as a normal incident of the nature and kind of business in which we are, and were, engaged, various claims or charges are asserted and litigation or arbitration is commenced by or against us arising from or related to matters including, but not limited to: product liability; personal injury; patents, trademarks, trade secrets or other intellectual property; labor and employee disputes; commercial or contractual disputes; strategic acquisitions or divestitures; the prior sale or use of former products allegedly containing asbestos or other restricted materials; breach of warranty; or environmental matters. Claimed amounts against us

Table of Contents

may be substantial but may not bear any reasonable relationship to the merits of the claim or the extent of any real risk of court or arbitral awards. We record accruals for losses related to those matters against us that we consider to be probable and that can be reasonably estimated. Gain contingencies, if any, are recognized when they are realized and legal costs generally are expensed when incurred. Although it is not feasible to predict the outcome of these matters with certainty, it is reasonably possible that some lawsuits, claims or proceedings may be disposed of or decided unfavorably to us and in excess of the amounts currently accrued. Based on available information, in the opinion of management, settlements, arbitration awards and final judgments, if any, which are considered probable of being rendered against us in litigation or arbitration in existence at September 27, 2013 are reserved against or would not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Tax Audits. Our tax filings are subject to audit by taxing authorities in jurisdictions where we conduct business. These audits may result in assessments of additional taxes that are subsequently resolved with the authorities or ultimately through established legal proceedings. We believe we have adequately accrued for any ultimate amounts that are likely to result from these audits; however, final assessments, if any, could be different from the amounts recorded in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited).

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Investors should carefully review and consider the information regarding certain factors which could materially affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows as set forth under Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our Fiscal 2013 Form 10-K. We do not believe that there have been any material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in our Fiscal 2013 Form 10-K. We may disclose changes to such factors or disclose additional factors from time to time in our future filings with the SEC. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently believe not to be material may also adversely impact our business, results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

During the first quarter of fiscal 2014, we repurchased 1,746,122 shares of our common stock under our 2011 Repurchase Program at an average price per share of $57.26, excluding commissions. During the first quarter of fiscal 2013, we repurchased 1,078,044 shares of our common stock under our 2011 Repurchase Program at an average price per share of $46.36, excluding commissions. The level of our repurchases depends on a number of factors, including our financial condition, capital requirements, cash flows, results of operations, future business prospects and other factors that our Board of Directors may deem relevant. The timing, volume and nature of share repurchases are subject to market conditions, applicable securities laws and other factors and are at our discretion and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. Shares repurchased by us are cancelled and retired.

* Periods represent our fiscal months.
(1) On August 2, 2011, we announced that on July 30, 2011, our Board of Directors approved our 2011 Repurchase Program that replaced our previous program and authorized us to repurchase up to $1 billion in shares of our common stock through open-market transactions, private transactions, transactions structured through investment banking institutions or any combination thereof. Our 2011 Repurchase Program does not have a stated expiration date and has resulted, and is expected to continue to result, in repurchases in excess of the dilutive effect of shares issued under our share-based incentive plans. The approximate dollar amount of our common stock that may yet be purchased under our 2011 Repurchase Program as of September 27, 2013 was $33,443,431. On August 26, 2013, we announced that on August 23, 2013, our Board of Directors approved our New Repurchase Program authorizing us to repurchase up to $1 billion in shares of our common stock through open-market transactions, private transactions, transactions structured through investment banking institutions or any combination thereof. Our New Repurchase Program is in addition to our 2011 Repurchase Program and also does not have a stated expiration date. The approximate dollar amount of our common stock that may yet be purchased under our New Repurchase Program as of September 27, 2013 was $1 billion. Our New Repurchase Program is expected to result in repurchases in excess of the dilutive effect of shares issued under our share-based incentive plans. However, the level of our repurchases depends on a number of factors, including our financial condition, capital requirements, cash flows, results of operations, future business prospects and other factors our Board of Directors may deem relevant. The timing, volume and nature of repurchases are subject to market conditions, applicable securities laws and other factors and are at our discretion and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. As a matter of policy, we do not repurchase shares during the period beginning on the 15th day of the third month of a fiscal quarter and ending two days following the public release of earnings and financial results for such fiscal quarter.
(2) Represents a combination of (a) shares of our common stock delivered to us in satisfaction of the exercise price and/or tax withholding obligation by holders of employee stock options who exercised stock options, (b) shares of our common stock delivered to us in satisfaction of the tax withholding obligation of holders of performance shares or restricted shares that vested during the quarter, (c) performance shares, performance share units, restricted shares or restricted stock units returned to us upon retirement or employment termination of employees or (d) shares of our common stock purchased by, or sold to us by, the Harris Corporation Master Rabbi Trust, with the trustee thereof acting at our direction, to fund obligations of the Rabbi Trust under our deferred compensation plans. Our equity incentive plans provide that the value of shares delivered to us to pay the exercise price of options or to cover tax withholding obligations shall be the closing price of our common stock on the date the relevant transaction occurs.

Sales of Unregistered Securities

During the first quarter of fiscal 2014, we did not issue or sell any unregistered equity securities.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

(AS OF JUNE 29, 2013)

1.            Stock Option – Terms and Conditions .  Under and subject to the provisions of the Harris Corporation 2005 Equity Incentive Plan (As Amended and Restated Effective August 27, 2010, and as may be further amended from time to time, the “ Plan ”) and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein (these “ Terms and Conditions ”), Harris Corporation (the “ Corporation ”) has granted to the employee receiving these Terms and Conditions (the “ Employee ”) a Non-Qualified Stock Option (the “ Option ”) to purchase such number of shares of common stock, $1.00 par value per share (the “ Common Stock ”), of the Corporation at such designated exercise price per share as set forth in the Award Notice (as defined below) from the Corporation to the Employee. Such grant is subject to the following Terms and Conditions (these Terms and Conditions, together with the Corporation’s letter or notice to the Employee specifying the grant date, the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the Option, the exercise price and certain other terms (the “ Award Notice ”), are referred to as the “ Agreement ”).

(a)          Except as set forth in Section 1(e), the Option shall not be exercisable to any extent unless the Employee shall have remained continuously in the employ of the Corporation for a minimum of one year from the grant date (the “ Minimum Vesting Period ”) and if the Minimum Vesting Period is not satisfied, the Option shall terminate immediately upon the Employee’s termination of employment with the Corporation. Following the Minimum Vesting Period, except as set forth in Sections 1(e), 2(b), 2(c) and 2(d), the Option shall not be exercisable to any extent unless the Employee shall have remained continuously in the employ of the Corporation until the Option shall become exercisable.

(b)          During the lifetime of the Employee, the Option shall be exercisable only by the Employee, and, except as otherwise set forth in Section 2, only while the Employee continues as an Employee of the Corporation.

(c)          Notwithstanding any other provision of these Terms and Conditions and the Agreement, the Option shall expire no later than ten years from the grant date (the “ Expiration Date ”), and shall not be exercisable thereafter.

(d)          Except as otherwise provided in the Award Notice, the Option shall vest and become exercisable as to the following shares issuable upon exercise of the Option:

(i)        After the end of one year from the grant date and prior to the end of two years from the grant date, not more than one-third of the aggregate shares issuable upon exercise of the Option;

(ii)       After the end of two years from the grant date and prior to the end of three years from the grant date, not more than two-thirds of the aggregate shares issuable upon exercise of the Option; and

2.            Termination of Employment .

(a)         Termination of Employment .     In the event of termination of the Employee’s employment with the Corporation other than as a result of circumstances described in Sections 2(b), 2(c), 2(d), and 2(e) below, the Option, whether exercisable or not, shall terminate immediately upon such termination of employment.

(b)         Death .    Notwithstanding Section 1(d) but subject to satisfaction of the Minimum Vesting Period, in the event of the death of the Employee (x) while employed by the Corporation, (y) following the Employee’s cessation of employment with the Corporation due to permanent disability of the Employee (as determined by the Corporation) while employed by the Corporation, or (z) following the retirement of the Employee if the retirement occurred after the Employee reached age 62 and had ten or more years of full-time service with the Corporation, the Option shall immediately become fully vested and exercisable, and may be exercised by the Employee’s Beneficiary (as defined in Section 4) but only until the earlier of (i) the date that is twelve (12) months following the date of death of the Employee or (ii) the Expiration Date. In the event of the death of the Employee following termination of or cessation of employment with the Corporation, unless the first sentence of this Section 2(b) is applicable, the Option may be exercised by the Employee’s Beneficiary but only until the earlier of (i) the date that is twelve (12) months following the date of death of the Employee or (ii) the Expiration Date, and only to the extent that the Option was vested and exercisable on the day immediately prior to the date of the Employee’s death.

(c)         Disability .  In the event of cessation of employment with the Corporation due to permanent disability of the Employee (as determined by the Corporation) while employed by the Corporation, notwithstanding Section 1(d) but subject to satisfaction of the Minimum Vesting Period, the Option shall immediately become fully vested and exercisable and unless the first sentence of Section 2(b) becomes applicable, may be exercised by the Employee until the Expiration Date.

(d)         Retirement .  In the event of retirement of the Employee, the Option may, if the retirement occurs after the Employee has reached age 55 and has ten or more years of full-time service with the Corporation, be exercised by the Employee until the Expiration Date, but only to the extent that the Option was vested and exercisable at the date of such retirement. In the event of retirement of the Employee, the Option may, if the retirement occurs (x) after satisfaction of the Minimum Vesting Period and (y) after the Employee has reached age 62 and has ten or more years of full-time service with the Corporation, unless the first sentence of Section 2(b) becomes applicable, be exercised by the Employee until the Expiration Date and shall continue to vest and become exercisable after such retirement according to the schedule set forth in Section 1(d).

(e)         Involuntary or Voluntary Termination .  In the event of termination of employment of the Employee by the Corporation other than for Misconduct, the Option may be exercised by the Employee but only until the earlier of (i) the date that is ninety (90) days following such termination of employment or (ii) the Expiration Date, and only to the extent that the Option was vested and exercisable at the date of such termination of employment. In the event of termination of employment of the Employee by the Corporation for Misconduct, the Option shall immediately terminate upon such termination of employment and shall not be exercisable. “ Misconduct ” shall mean deliberate, willful or gross misconduct, as determined by the Corporation. In the event of termination of employment of the Employee by the Employee

 

Page   2


other than as a result of death, permanent disability (as determined by the Corporation) or retirement (in a circumstance in which Section 2(d) applies), the Option may be exercised by the Employee but only until the earlier of (i) the date that is thirty (30) days following such termination of employment or (ii) the Expiration Date, and only to the extent that the Option was vested and exercisable at the date of such termination of employment.

3.          Exercise of Option .    The Option may be exercised by delivering to the Corporation at the office of the Corporate Secretary (a) a written notice, signed by the person entitled to exercise the Option, stating the designated number of shares such person then elects to purchase; provided, however, that in the discretion of the Corporation, notice sent through an approved electronic means may be substituted for a signed, written notice, (b) payment in an amount equal to the full exercise price for the shares to be purchased, and (c) in the event the Option is exercised by any person other than the Employee, such as the Employee’s Beneficiary, evidence satisfactory to the Corporation that such person has the right to exercise the Option. Payment of the exercise price shall be made (i) in cash, (ii) in previously acquired shares of Common Stock of the Corporation, or (iii) in any combination of cash and such shares. Shares tendered in payment of the exercise price which have been acquired through an exercise of a stock option must have been held at least six months prior to exercise of the Option and shall be valued at the Fair Market Value. Upon the exercise of the Option, the Corporation shall cause the shares in respect of which the Option shall have been so exercised to be issued and delivered by crediting such shares to a book-entry account for the benefit of the Employee or the Employee’s Beneficiary maintained by the Corporation’s stock transfer agent or its designee. The Employee does not have any rights as a shareholder in respect of any shares as to which the Option shall not have been duly exercised and no rights as a shareholder shall exist prior to the proper exercise of such Option.

4.          Prohibition Against Transfer; Designation of Beneficiary .  The Option and rights granted by the Corporation under these Terms and Conditions and the Agreement are not transferable except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution in the event of the Employee’s death. The Employee may designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries (the “ Employee’s Beneficiary ”) to exercise any rights or receive any benefits under Section 2(b) following the Employee’s death. To be effective, such designation must be made in accordance with such rules and on such form as prescribed by the Corporation for such purpose, which completed form must be received by the office of the Corporate Secretary prior to the Employee’s death. If the Employee fails to designate a beneficiary, or if no designated beneficiary survives the Employee’s death, the Employee’s estate shall be deemed the Employee’s Beneficiary. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, except as aforesaid, the Option may not be sold, exchanged, assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated, encumbered or otherwise disposed of, shall not be assignable by operation of law, and shall not be subject to execution, attachment, charge, alienation or similar process. Any attempt to effect any of the foregoing shall be null and void and without effect.

5.          Employment by Corporation, Subsidiary or Successor; Termination or Cessation of Employment .    For the purpose of these Terms and Conditions and the Agreement, (a) employment by the Corporation or any Subsidiary of or a successor to the Corporation shall be considered employment by the Corporation, and (b) references to “termination of employment,” “cessation of employment,” “ceases to be employed,” “ceases to be an Employee” or similar phrases shall mean the last day actually worked (as determined by the Corporation), and shall not include any notice period, or any period of severance or separation pay or pay continuation (whether required by law or custom or otherwise provided) following the last day actually worked.

Nothing in this Section 6(c) shall preclude the Employee from owning up to 1% of the equity in any publicly traded company.

(d)         No Disparagement or Detrimental Comments .   During the Employee’s employment with the Corporation and thereafter, the Employee shall not, directly or indirectly, make or publish, or cause to be made or published, any statement, observation or opinion, whether verbal or written, that criticizes, disparages, defames or otherwise impugns or reasonably may be interpreted to criticize, disparage, defame or impugn, the character, integrity or reputation of the Corporation or its products, goods, systems or services, or its current or former directors, officers, employees, agents, successors or assigns.

(ii)       Unless the Award is pro rated at the time of the Award, if employment is commenced after the first day of the first fiscal year of the Performance Period (such commencement date is referred to as the “ Start Date ”), the Employee shall be eligible to receive a pro-rata portion of the Shares or cash which would be payable to the Employee under the Award at the end of the Performance Period determined in accordance with the prior provisions of this Section 1(c), and the remaining Shares or cash subject to the Award shall be automatically forfeited. Such forfeited portion shall be measured by a fraction, of which the numerator is the number of days between the first day of the first fiscal year of the Performance Period and the Start Date, and the denominator is the number of days of the Performance Period.

(d)           Rights During Performance Period; Dividend Equivalents .

(i)        During the Performance Period, the Employee shall not have any rights as a shareholder with respect to the Shares underlying the Performance Units.

(ii)       If, at any time during the Performance Period, the Corporation pays a dividend or makes other distributions on the Common Stock, (A) if the Award Notice specifies that the Performance Units are to be paid in Shares, then on or about the date the Performance Units are paid in Shares and the Corporation issues to the Employee the Shares underlying the Performance Units pursuant to Section 1(b), the Corporation shall pay to the Employee the dividends or other distributions paid or payable during the Performance Period on the number of Shares underlying the Performance Units to which the Employee is entitled, or (B) if the Award Notice specifies that the Performance Units are to be paid in cash, then on or about the date the Performance Units are paid in cash to the Employee pursuant to Section 1(b), the Corporation shall pay to the Employee the dividends or other distributions paid or payable during the Performance Period on the number of Performance Units to which the Employee is entitled. No such dividends or other distributions will be paid in respect of Performance Units that are forfeited or cancelled. No interest shall be paid on any such dividends or distributions. If any such dividend or distribution is paid in securities of the Corporation (including Shares), such dividend equivalents in respect of such securities relating to the Performance Units shall be subject to the same restrictions and conditions as the Performance Units in respect of which such dividend or distribution in the form of securities was made and shall be paid to the Employee in the manner and at the time the Performance Units are paid.

(iii)      If the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is changed as a result of a stock dividend, stock split or the like, without additional consideration to the Corporation, the Performance Units subject to the Award shall be adjusted to correspond to the change in the Corporation’s outstanding shares of Common Stock. If the Award Notice specifies that the Performance Units are to be paid in Shares, upon the expiration of the Performance

Period and payout of the Award, the Employee may exercise voting rights and shall be entitled to receive dividends and other distributions with respect to the number of Shares to which the Employee is entitled pursuant hereto.

(e)         Adjustment to Award .  The number of Performance Units subject to the Award is based upon the assumption that the Employee shall continue to perform substantially the same duties throughout the Performance Period, and such number of Performance Units may be reduced or increased by the Board or the Board Committee or its designee without formal amendment of the Agreement to reflect a change in duties during the Performance Period.

2.            Forfeiture; Termination of Employment .  Except in the event of a Change in Control covered in Section 5 herein or as otherwise provided in the Award Notice, if the Employee ceases to be an employee of the Corporation prior to the expiration of first fiscal year of the Performance Period (“ Minimum Vesting Period ”), all Performance Units subject to the Award shall be automatically forfeited upon such termination of employment. Except in the event of a Change in Control covered in Section 5 herein or as otherwise provided in the Award Notice, if the Employee ceases to be an employee of the Corporation following satisfaction of the Minimum Vesting Period but prior to the expiration of the Performance Period:

(a)        for any reason other than (i) death, (ii) permanent disability (as determined by the Corporation), (iii) retirement after age 55 with ten or more years of full-time service, or (iv) involuntary termination of employment of the Employee by the Corporation other than for Misconduct, all Performance Units subject to the Award shall be automatically forfeited upon such termination of employment; or

(b)        due to (i) death, (ii) permanent disability (as determined by the Corporation), (iii) retirement after age 55 with ten or more years of full-time service, or (iv) involuntary termination of employment of the Employee by the Corporation other than for Misconduct, the Employee shall be eligible to receive a pro-rata portion of the payout in respect of the Performance Units which would have been made to the Employee under the Award at the end of the Performance Period under Section 1(b) determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 1(c) hereof, and the remaining payout and Performance Units subject to the Award shall be automatically forfeited. Such pro-rata portion shall be measured by a fraction, of which the numerator is the number of days of the Performance Period during which the Employee’s employment continued, and the denominator is the number of days of the Performance Period. “ Misconduct ” shall mean deliberate, willful or gross misconduct, as determined by the Corporation. The pro-rata portion of the payout in respect of the Performance Units required to be paid under this Section 2 shall be paid to the Employee in the form and at the time as specified in Section 1(b).

3.            Transfer of Employment .   If the Employee transfers employment from one business unit of the Corporation or an Affiliate to another business unit or Affiliate during a Performance Period, the Employee shall be eligible to receive the number of Performance Units determined by the Board or the Board Committee or its designee based upon such factors as the Board or the Board Committee or its designee, as the case may be, in its sole discretion may deem appropriate.

Any attempt to effect any of the foregoing shall be null and void and without effect.

5.            Change in Control .  (a) Upon a Change in Control of the Corporation as defined in Section 11.1 of the Plan, the performance objectives shall be conclusively deemed to have been attained immediately upon the occurrence of such a Change in Control. The payout of the Performance Units shall be paid to the Employee at the end of the Performance Period; provided , however , that, following such Change in Control but prior to the end of the Performance Period: (i) in the event of the Employee’s death, termination due to permanent disability (as determined by the Corporation), retirement after age 55 with ten or more years of full-time service, or involuntary termination of employment of the Employee by the Corporation other than for Cause, the payout of the Performance Units shall be vested immediately and paid in Shares or in a single cash lump sum as specified in the Award Notice as soon as administratively practicable but no later than the end of the calendar year in which the vesting event occurs; (ii) in the event of the Employee’s resignation or termination for Cause, the payout of the Award shall be forfeited; and (iii) in the event of a “change in the Corporation’s capital structure,” the payout of the Performance Units shall be vested immediately and if (A) the Award Notice specifies that the Performance Units are to be paid in Shares, at the election of the Employee, the payout of the Award shall be paid in Shares without restriction on transfer or shall be converted and paid in cash or (B) the Award Notice specifies that the Performance Units are to be paid in cash, such Performance Units shall be paid in cash. The amount of any cash payment made under this Section 5 will be an amount equal to the number of Shares underlying the Performance Units subject to the Award multiplied by the highest price per share paid in any transaction reported on the New York Stock Exchange Composite Index: (A) during the sixty (60) day period preceding and including the date of a “change in the Corporation’s capital structure;” or (B) during the sixty (60) day period preceding and including the date of the Change in Control. An Award in Shares or cash shall be paid as soon as administratively practicable following a “change in the Corporation’s capital structure,” but no later than the end of the calendar year in which the change in the Corporation’s capital structure occurs.

(b)          For purposes hereof, a “ change in the Corporation’s capital structure ” shall be deemed to have occurred if:

(i)        the Shares are no longer the only class of the Corporation’s Common Stock;

Any act, or failure to act, based upon authority given pursuant to a resolution duly adopted by the Board or based upon the advice of counsel for the Corporation shall be conclusively presumed to be done, or omitted to be done, by the Employee in good faith and in the best interests of the Corporation. Cause shall not exist unless and until the Corporation has delivered to the Employee a copy of a resolution duly adopted by three-quarters (3/4) of the entire Board at a meeting of the Board called and held for such purpose (after thirty (30) days notice to the Employee and an opportunity for the Employee, together with counsel, to be heard before the Board), finding that in the good faith opinion of the Board an event set forth in clauses (i) or (ii) has occurred and specifying the particulars thereof in detail.

However, the Board Committee can choose to include any or all such unusual or non-recurring items as long as inclusion of each such item causes the Award to be reduced.

11.           Impact of Restatement of Financial Statements upon Awards .   If any of the Corporation’s financial statements are restated, as a result of errors, omissions, or fraud, the Board Committee may (in its sole discretion, but acting in good faith) direct that the Corporation recover all or a portion of any Award or payment made to the Employee with respect to any fiscal year of the Corporation the financial results of which are negatively affected by such restatement.

This Section 11 shall be a non-exclusive remedy and nothing in this Section 11 shall preclude the Corporation from pursuing any other applicable remedies available to it, whether in addition to, or in lieu of this Section 11.

12.           Incorporation of Plan Provisions .     These Terms and Conditions and the Agreement are made pursuant to the Plan, the provisions of which are hereby incorporated by reference. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth for such terms in the Plan. In the event of a conflict between the terms of these Terms and Conditions and the Agreement and the Plan, the terms of the Plan shall govern.

13.           Compliance with Section 409A of the Code .  (a) The Agreement and the Plan are intended to be exempt from the provisions of Section 409A of the Code to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. To the extent applicable, it is intended that the Agreement and the Plan comply with the provisions of Section 409A of the Code, so that the income inclusion provisions of Section 409A(a)(1) of the Code do not apply to the Employee. The Agreement and the Plan shall be administered and interpreted in a manner consistent with this intent, and any provision that would cause the Agreement or the Plan to fail to satisfy Section 409A of the Code shall have no force and effect until amended to comply with Section 409A of the Code (which amendment may be retroactive to the extent permitted by Section 409A of the Code and may be made by the Corporation without the consent of the Employee). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no particular tax result for the Employee with respect to any income recognized by the Employee in connection with the Agreement is guaranteed, and the Employee solely shall be responsible for any taxes, penalties or interest imposed on the Employee in connection with the Agreement.

(b)        Reference to Section 409A of the Code will also include any proposed, temporary or final regulations, or any other guidance, promulgated with respect to such Section by the U.S. Department of the Treasury or the Internal Revenue Service.

14.           Data Privacy; Electronic Delivery .  By acceptance of the Award, the Employee acknowledges and agrees that: (a) data, including the Employee’s personal data, necessary to administer the Agreement may be exchanged among the Corporation and its Subsidiaries and affiliates as necessary, and with any vendor engaged by the Corporation to assist in the administration of equity awards; and (b) unless and until revoked in writing by the Employee, information and materials in connection with this Agreement or any awards under the Plan, including, but not limited to, any prospectuses and plan document, may be provided by means of electronic delivery (including by e-mail, by web site access and/or by facsimile).

 

Page   10


15.        Miscellaneous .    These Terms and Conditions and the other portions of the Agreement: (a) shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any successor of the Corporation; (b) shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware and any applicable laws of the United States; and (c) except as permitted under Sections 3.2, 12 and 13.6 of the Plan and Section 13 of the Agreement, may not be amended without the written consent of both the Corporation and the Employee. The Agreement shall not in any way interfere with or limit the rights of the Corporation or any Subsidiary to terminate the Employee’s employment or service with the Corporation or any Subsidiary at any time, and no contract or right of employment shall be implied by these Terms and Conditions and the Agreement of which they form a part. For the purposes of these Terms and Conditions and the Agreement, (i) employment by the Corporation or any Subsidiary or a successor to the Corporation shall be considered employment by the Corporation, and (ii) references to “termination of employment,” “cessation of employment,” “ceases to be employed,” “ceases to be an Employee” or similar phrases shall mean the last day actually worked (as determined by the Corporation), and shall not include any notice period or any period of severance or separation pay or pay continuation (whether required by law or custom or otherwise provided) following the last day actually worked. If the Award is assumed or a new award is substituted therefor in any corporate reorganization (including, but not limited to, any transaction of the type referred to in Section 424(a) of the Code), employment by such assuming or substituting corporation or by a parent corporation or subsidiary thereof shall be considered for all purposes of the Award to be employment by the Corporation.

dividend or makes other distributions on the Common Stock, the Employee shall be entitled to receive dividend equivalents, in cash, in the case of a cash dividend or cash distribution, or other property, in the case of a non-cash dividend or non-cash distribution, as applicable, paid or distributed with respect to the number of Shares underlying the Restricted Units. In the case of a dividend or other distribution paid in a form other than securities of the Corporation, such dividend equivalents will be paid to the Employee as soon as is practicable following payment of the dividend or other distribution to holders of Common Stock, but no later than the end of the calendar year in which the corresponding actual dividends or other distributions are paid to holders of Common Stock. If any such dividend or other distribution is paid in securities of the Corporation (including Shares), such dividend equivalents in respect of such securities relating to the Restricted Units shall be subject to the same restrictions and conditions as the Restricted Units in respect of which such dividend equivalents were paid and shall be paid to the Employee in the manner and at the time the Restricted Units are paid. If the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is changed as a result of a stock dividend, stock split or the like, without additional consideration to the Corporation, the Restricted Units subject to the Award shall be adjusted to correspond to the change in the Corporation’s outstanding shares of Common Stock. If the Award Notice specifies that the Restricted Units are to be paid in Shares, upon the expiration of the Restriction Period and payout of the Award, the Employee may exercise voting rights and shall be entitled to receive dividends and other distributions with respect to the number of Shares to which the Employee is entitled pursuant hereto.

2.            Prohibition Against Transfer . Until the expiration of the Restriction Period and payout of the Award, the Award, the Restricted Units subject to the Award, any interest in the Shares (in the case of a payout to be made in Shares as specified in the Award Notice) or cash to be paid, as applicable, related thereto, and the rights granted under these Terms and Conditions and the Agreement are not transferable except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution in the event of the Employee’s death. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, except as aforesaid, until the expiration of the Restriction Period and payout of the Award, the Award, the Restricted Units subject to the Award, any interest in the Shares (in the case of a payout to be made in Shares as specified in the Award Notice) or cash to be paid, as applicable, related thereto, and the rights granted under these Terms and Conditions and the Agreement may not be sold, exchanged, assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated, encumbered or otherwise disposed of, shall not be assignable by operation of law, and shall not be subject to execution, attachment, charge, alienation or similar process. Any attempt to effect any of the foregoing shall be null and void and without effect.

3.            Forfeiture; Termination of Employment .

(a)        Except in the event of a Change in Control covered by Section 4 herein, it shall be a condition to the vesting of Restricted Units and the payment of Shares or cash following the expiration of the Restriction Period that the Employee shall have remained continuously in the employ of the Corporation for a minimum of one year from the grant date (the “ Minimum Vesting Period ”), and in the event that the Minimum Vesting Period is not satisfied, the Award and any Restricted Stock Units or right to payment of Shares or cash shall be immediately forfeited upon the Employee’s termination of employment with the Corporation. Except in the event of the death or permanent disability (as determined by the Corporation) of the Employee covered in Section 3(b) herein or a Change in Control covered in Section 4 herein

 

Page   2


or as otherwise provided in the Award Notice, if the Employee ceases to be an employee of the Corporation following satisfaction of the Minimum Vesting Period but prior to the expiration of the Restriction Period:

(i)        for any reason other than (x) retirement after age 55 with ten or more years of full-time service or (y) involuntary termination of employment of the Employee by the Corporation other than for Misconduct, all Restricted Units subject to the Award shall be automatically forfeited upon such termination of employment; or

(ii)       due to (x) retirement after age 55 with ten or more years of full-time service or (y) involuntary termination of employment of the Employee by the Corporation other than for Misconduct, the Employee shall be vested in, and entitled to receive a payout in respect of, a pro-rata portion of the Restricted Units subject to the Award, and the remaining portion of the Restricted Units subject to the Award shall be automatically forfeited as of the date of such retirement or termination of employment. Such pro-rata portion shall be measured by a fraction, of which the numerator is the number of days of the Restriction Period during which the Employee’s employment continued, and the denominator is the number of days of the Restriction Period. The Restriction Period shall immediately expire with respect to such pro-rata portion that is vested pursuant to the provisions of this Section 3(a)(ii), if any, and the payout in respect of such pro-rata portion shall be made in the form specified in Section 1(b) as soon as administratively practicable following such immediate expiration of the Restriction Period, but in no event later than sixty (60) days following such immediate expiration of the Restriction Period; provided , however , that if the Award is subject to Section 409A of the Code, and if the Employee is a Specified Employee (within the meaning of the Corporation’s Specified Employee Policy for 409A Arrangements) as of the date the Employee ceases to be an employee of the Corporation, then such payout shall be delayed until and made during the seventh calendar month following the calendar month during which the Employee ceased to be an employee of the Corporation (or, if earlier, the calendar month following the calendar month of the Employee’s death). “ Misconduct ” shall mean deliberate, willful or gross misconduct, as determined by the Corporation.

(b)          If the Employee ceases to be an employee of the Corporation following satisfaction of the Minimum Vesting Period but prior to the expiration of the Restriction Period due to death or permanent disability (as determined by the Corporation), the Employee’s heirs or beneficiaries or the Employee, as applicable, shall be fully vested in, and entitled to receive a payout in respect of, the total number of Restricted Units subject to the Award. In such event, the Restriction Period shall immediately expire, and the payout in respect of the Restricted Units subject to the Award as of the date of the Employee’s death or permanent disability (as determined by the Corporation), if any, shall be made in the form specified in Section 1(b) as soon as administratively practicable following such immediate expiration of the Restriction Period, but in no event later than sixty (60) days following such immediate expiration of the Restriction Period; provided , however , that in the case of the immediate expiration of the Restriction Period due to permanent disability (as determined by the Corporation) pursuant to the provisions of this Section 3(b), if the Award is subject to Section 409A of the Code, and if the Employee is a Specified Employee (within the meaning of the Corporation’s Specified Employee Policy for 409A Arrangements) as of the date he or she ceases to be an employee of the Corporation, then such payout shall be delayed until and made during the seventh calendar

month following the calendar month during which the Employee ceased to be an employee of the Corporation (or, if earlier, the calendar month following the calendar month of the Employee’s death).

4.            Change in Control .  Upon a Change in Control that qualifies as a “change in control event” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation §1.409A-3(i)(5), then the Employee shall be fully vested in, and entitled to receive a payout in respect of, the total number of Restricted Units subject to the Award, the Restriction Period shall immediately expire and the payout in respect of the Restricted Units subject to the Award shall be made in the form specified in Section 1(b) as soon as administratively practicable, but in no event later than sixty (60) days following such Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control that does not qualify as a “change in control event” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation §1.409A-3(i)(5), then the Employee shall be fully vested in, and entitled to receive a payout in respect of, the total number of Restricted Units subject to the Award; provided , however , that such Restricted Units shall continue to be subject to the Restriction Period until the expiration thereof, at which time the payout in respect of the Restricted Units shall be made in the form and at the time specified in Section 1(b), 3(a)(ii) or 3(b), as applicable (and deeming Section 3(a)(ii) to apply in the event that the Employee ceases to be an employee of the Corporation prior to the expiration of the Restriction Period for any reason other than death or permanent disability (as determined by the Corporation)).

5.            Protective Covenants .  In consideration of, among other things, the grant of the Award to the Employee, the Employee acknowledges and agrees, by acceptance of the Award, to the following provisions:

(a)         Non-Solicitation .  During the Protective Covenant Period, the Employee shall not, directly or indirectly, individually or on behalf of any other employer or any other business, person or entity: (i) recruit, induce, Solicit or attempt to recruit, induce or Solicit any Individual Employed by the Corporation to terminate, abandon or otherwise leave or discontinue employment with the Corporation; or (ii) hire or cause or assist any Individual Employed by the Corporation to become employed by or provide services to any other business, person or entity whether as an employee, consultant, contractor or otherwise.

(b)         Additional Relief .  The Employee agrees, by acceptance of the Award, that: (i) the remedy provided for in Section 6(a) shall not be the exclusive remedy available to the Corporation for a breach of the provisions of Sections 5(a), (b), (c), (d) or (e) and shall not limit the Corporation from seeking damages or injunctive relief; and (ii) the Corporation’s remedies at law may be inadequate to protect the Corporation against any actual or threatened breach of the provisions of Sections 5(a), (b), (c), (d) or (e), and therefore, without prejudice to any other rights and remedies otherwise available to the Corporation at law or in equity (including, but not limited to, the rights under Section 6(a)), in addition to and cumulative with

9.            Incorporation of Plan Provisions .    These Terms and Conditions and the Agreement are made pursuant to the Plan, the provisions of which are hereby incorporated by reference. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth for such terms in the Plan. In the event of a conflict between the terms of these Terms and Conditions and the Agreement and the Plan, the terms of the Plan shall govern.

10.           Compliance with Section 409A of the Code .   The Agreement and the Plan are intended to be exempt from the provisions of Section 409A of the Code to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.

11.        Data Privacy; Electronic Delivery .  By acceptance of the Award, the Employee acknowledges and agrees that: (a) data, including the Employee’s personal data, necessary to administer the Agreement may be exchanged among the Corporation and its Subsidiaries and affiliates as necessary, and with any vendor engaged by the Corporation to assist in the administration of equity awards; and (b) unless and until revoked in writing by the Employee, information and materials in connection with this Agreement or any awards under the Plan, including, but not limited to, any prospectuses and plan document, may be provided by means of electronic delivery (including by e-mail, by web site access and/or by facsimile).

12.        Miscellaneous .   These Terms and Conditions and the other portions of the Agreement: (a) shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any successor of the Corporation; (b) shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware and any applicable laws of the United States; and (c) except as permitted under Sections 3.2, 12 and 13.6 of the Plan and Section 10 of this Agreement, may not be amended without the written consent of both the Corporation and the Employee. The Agreement shall not in any way interfere with or limit the right of the Corporation or any Subsidiary to terminate the Employee’s employment or service with the Corporation or any Subsidiary at any time, and no contract or right of employment shall be implied by these Terms and Conditions and the Agreement of which they form a part. For purposes of these Terms and Conditions and the Agreement, (i) employment by the Corporation or any Subsidiary or a successor to the Corporation shall be considered employment by the Corporation and (ii) references to “termination of employment,” “cessation of employment,” “ceases to be employed,” “ceases to be an Employee” or similar phrases shall mean the last day actually worked (as determined by the Corporation), and shall not include any notice period or any period of severance or separation pay or pay continuation (whether required by law or custom or otherwise provided) following the last day actually worked. If the Award is assumed or a new award is substituted therefor in any corporate reorganization (including, but not limited to, any transaction of the type referred to in Section 424(a) of the Code), employment by such assuming or substituting corporation or by a parent corporation or subsidiary thereof shall be considered for all purposes of the Award to be employment by the Corporation.
