NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

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 in consolidation. 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 our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented therein. The results for the second quarter and first two quarters of fiscal 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year or any subsequent period. The balance sheet at July 3, 2015 has been derived from our 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, audited 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 July 3, 2015 (our “Fiscal 2015 Form 10-K”).

As further discussed in Note B — Discontinued Operations in these Notes, we recorded a loss in discontinued operations in the second quarter of fiscal 2016 based on a final determination rendered in a dispute over the amount of the post-closing working capital adjustment to the purchase price for our former broadcast communications operation (“Broadcast Communications”), which we sold on February 4, 2013. We did not restate our historical financial results of operations to account for Broadcast Communications as discontinued operations for the periods prior to the second quarter of fiscal 2016 presented in this Report because the amounts were not material. Unless otherwise specified, disclosures in these Notes relate solely to our continuing operations.

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.

Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) to conform to current year classifications.

Adoption of New Accounting Standards

In the first quarter of fiscal 2016, we adopted an accounting standard issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) that eliminates the requirement for an acquirer in a business combination to retrospectively account for measurement-period adjustments. Instead, the new guidance requires that the cumulative impact of a measurement-period adjustment (including the impact on prior periods) be recognized in the reporting period in which the adjustment is identified. This standard is to be applied prospectively. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In the second quarter of fiscal 2016, we adopted an accounting standard issued by the FASB that simplifies the presentation of deferred income taxes by requiring entities to classify all deferred tax assets and liabilities as non-current in a classified statement of financial position instead of separating deferred tax assets and liabilities into current and non-current amounts. Consequently, entities may no longer allocate valuation allowances between current and non-current deferred tax assets because those allowances also will be classified as non-current. This standard was applied retrospectively, and as a result, we reclassified certain prior-period amounts in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) to conform with current-period classifications as follows:

Table of Contents

Other than those reclassifications, the adoption of this standard did not have any impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Effective

In May 2014, the FASB issued a comprehensive new revenue recognition standard that supersedes nearly all revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards and supersedes some cost guidance for construction-type and production-type contracts. The guidance in this standard is principles-based, and consequently, entities will be required to use more judgment and make more estimates than under prior guidance, including identifying contract performance obligations, estimating variable consideration to include in the contract price and allocating the transaction price to separate performance obligations. The guidance in this standard is applicable to all contracts with customers, regardless of industry-specific or transaction-specific fact patterns. Additionally, this standard provides guidance for transactions that were not previously addressed comprehensively (e.g., service revenue, contract modifications and licenses of intellectual property) and modifies guidance for multiple-element arrangements. The core principle of this standard is that entities should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. To help financial statement users better understand the nature, amount, timing and potential uncertainty of the revenue that is recognized, this standard requires significantly more interim and annual disclosures. This standard allows for either “full retrospective” adoption (application to all periods presented) or “modified retrospective” adoption (application to only the most current period presented in the financial statements, as well as certain additional required footnote disclosures). In August 2015, the FASB issued an accounting standards update that defers the effective date of this standard by one year, while permitting entities to elect to adopt one year earlier on the original effective date. As a result, this standard is now effective for fiscal years, and interim reporting periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017, which for us is our fiscal 2019. We are currently evaluating the impact this standard will have on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Note B — Discontinued Operations

On February 4, 2013, we completed the sale of Broadcast Communications to an affiliate of The Gores Group, LLC (the “Buyer”) 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), a $15 million subordinated promissory note (which was collected in fiscal 2014) and an earnout of up to $50 million based on future performance. Broadcast Communications was recorded as discontinued operations in connection with the sale.

Based on a dispute between us and the Buyer over the amount of the post-closing working capital adjustment, we and the Buyer previously appointed a nationally recognized accounting firm to render a final determination of such dispute. On January 29, 2016, the accounting firm rendered its final determination as to the disputed items, in which it concluded substantially in our favor and partly in the Buyer’s favor. As a result of such determination, we recorded a loss in discontinued operations in the second quarter of fiscal 2016 of $21 million ($17 million after-tax or $0.14 per diluted share) and adjusted current liabilities of discontinued operations to $43 million. We did not restate our historical financial results of operations to account for Broadcast Communications as discontinued operations for the periods prior to the second quarter of fiscal 2016 presented in this Report because the amounts were not material. Unless otherwise specified, the information set forth in these Notes, other than this Note B — Discontinued Operations , relates solely to our continuing operations.

Note C — Stock Options and Other Share-Based Compensation

During the two quarters ended January 1, 2016, we had options or other share-based compensation outstanding under two shareholder-approved employee stock incentive plans (“SIPs”), the Harris Corporation 2005 Equity Incentive Plan (As Amended and Restated Effective August 27, 2010) and the Harris Corporation 2015 Equity Incentive Plan. We have granted the following types of share-based awards under these SIPs: stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock unit awards, performance share awards, performance share unit awards and awards of immediately vested shares of our common stock. 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 $9 million and $19 million for the quarter and two quarters ended January 1, 2016, respectively. The compensation cost related to our share-based awards that was charged against income was $9 million and $17 million for the quarter and two quarters ended January 2, 2015, respectively.

Grants to employees under our SIPs during the second quarter ended January 1, 2016 consisted of 10,110 stock options, 33,600 restricted stock awards and 10,070 performance share unit awards. Grants to employees under our SIPs during the two quarters ended January 1, 2016 consisted of 1,658,000 stock options, 100,270 restricted stock awards and 292,665 performance share unit awards. The fair value as of the grant date of each stock option award was determined using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model, which used the following assumptions: expected dividend yield of 2.50 percent; expected volatility of 23.01 percent; risk-free interest rates averaging 1.52 percent; and expected term in years of 5.05. The fair value as of the grant date of each restricted stock award was based on the closing price of our common stock on the grant date. 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.

Depreciation and amortization expense related to property, plant and equipment was $49 million and $99 million for quarter and two quarters ended January 1, 2016, respectively. Depreciation and amortization expense related to property, plant and equipment was $38 million and $73 million for the quarter and two quarters ended January 2, 2015, respectively.

Note H — Goodwill

As discussed in Note R — Business Segments , we adjusted our segment reporting in the first quarter of fiscal 2016 to reflect our new organizational structure that was effective at the beginning of fiscal 2016, which resulted in changes to our operating segments, which are also our reportable segments and are referred to as our business segments. In accordance with GAAP, we have reassigned goodwill using a relative fair value approach. Because our accounting for our acquisition of Exelis Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Exelis”) in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 is still preliminary, we assigned the goodwill acquired as a result of the acquisition on a provisional basis. Immediately before and after our goodwill assignments, we completed an assessment of any potential goodwill impairment under our former and new segment reporting structure and determined that no impairment existed.

In addition, we test our goodwill for impairment annually, or under certain circumstances, more frequently, such as when events or circumstances indicate there may be an impairment. See Note N — Impairment of Goodwill and Other Assets in these Notes for information regarding a preliminary estimate for a non-cash charge for impairment of goodwill and other assets related to Harris CapRock Communications recorded in the second quarter of fiscal 2016 in our Critical Networks segment.

The assignment of goodwill by business segment, and changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the two quarters ended January 1, 2016, by business segment, were as follows:

We also sell extended product warranties and recognize revenue from these arrangements over the warranty period. Costs of warranty services under these arrangements are recognized as incurred. Deferred revenue associated with extended product warranties at January 1, 2016 and July 3, 2015 was $36 million and is included as a component of the “Advance payments and unearned income” and “Other long-term liabilities” line items in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet (Unaudited).

Note J — Long-Term Debt

As disclosed in Note 13: “Long-Term Debt” in our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our Fiscal 2015 Form 10-K, in connection with our acquisition of Exelis, Harris Corporation fully and unconditionally guaranteed all of the long-term fixed-rate debt securities issued by Exelis Inc. outstanding at the time of the acquisition, consisting of $250 million in aggregate principal amount of 4.25% senior notes due October 1, 2016 and $400 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.55% senior notes due October 1, 2021 (together, the “Exelis Notes”), as indicated in the table in Note 13: “Long-Term Debt” in our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our Fiscal 2015 Form 10-K. In addition, Exelis Inc. fully and unconditionally guaranteed all of the long-term fixed-rate debt securities issued by Harris Corporation outstanding at the time of the acquisition, consisting of the nine other series of fixed-rate debt securities listed in the “2015” column in the table in Note 13: “Long-Term Debt” in our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our Fiscal 2015 Form 10-K, in an aggregate principal amount of $3.226 billion. On December 31, 2015, Exelis Inc. merged with and into Harris Corporation, with Harris Corporation being the surviving corporation in the merger, the separate existence of Exelis Inc. ceased, Harris Corporation assumed the obligations of Exelis under the Exelis Notes, and the cross guarantees of our outstanding long-term fixed-rate debt securities as described above terminated.

We contributed $97 million to our qualified defined benefit pension plans during the two quarters ended January 1, 2016. We currently anticipate making additional contributions to our qualified defined benefit pension plans of approximately $76 million during the remainder of fiscal 2016.

For purposes of the computations of loss from continuing operations per common share in the quarter ended January 1, 2016, due to the loss, the numerator was not adjusted to consider the effect of participating securities outstanding, and also basic weighted average common shares outstanding was used in the computation of the loss from continuing operations per diluted common share because the use of diluted weighted average common shares outstanding would have been antidilutive.

Potential dilutive common shares primarily consist of employee stock options and performance share unit awards. Employee stock options to purchase approximately 1,482,261 and 678,650 shares of our common stock were outstanding at January 1, 2016 and January 2, 2015, respectively, but were not included as dilutive stock options in the computations of income (loss) from continuing operations per diluted common share because the effect would have been antidilutive.

Note M — Income Taxes

In the second quarter of fiscal 2016, we recorded income tax expense of $46 million coupled with an $89 million loss from continuing operations before income taxes, compared with our effective tax rate (income taxes as a percentage of income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes) of 26.5 percent in the second quarter of fiscal 2015. In the second quarter of fiscal 2016, our effective tax rate was negatively impacted by the non-deductibility for tax purposes of portions of the impairment charge described in Note N — Impairment of Goodwill and Other Assets in these Notes. This negative impact was partially offset by the effect of legislation enacted in the second quarter of fiscal 2016 that restored the U.S. Federal income tax credit for qualifying research and development (“R&D”) expenses for calendar year 2015 and made the credit permanent for the periods following December 31, 2015. This resulted in a benefit of approximately $12 million in calculating our effective tax rate in the second quarter of fiscal 2016. Approximately 40 percent of this benefit related to R&D expenses in the second half of fiscal 2015 and the remainder related to R&D expenses in fiscal 2016. Additionally, in the second quarter of fiscal 2016, our effective tax rate benefited from the settlement of a state tax issue for an amount lower than the previously recorded estimate and several differences between GAAP and tax accounting for investments. In the second quarter of fiscal 2015, legislation was enacted that restored the U.S. Federal income tax credit for qualifying R&D expenses for calendar year 2014. This resulted in a benefit of approximately $7 million (approximately 3.7 percent of income from continuing operations before income taxes) in calculating our effective tax rate in the second quarter of fiscal 2015. Approximately half of this benefit related to R&D expenses in the second half of fiscal 2014 and the remainder related to R&D expenses in the first half of fiscal 2015. Additionally, in the second quarter of fiscal 2015, our effective tax rate benefited by approximately $8 million (approximately 4.2 percent of income from continuing operations before income taxes) due to finalizing issues with Canadian and U.S. tax authorities for amounts lower than previously recorded estimates.

Our effective tax rate was 89.8 percent in the first two quarters of fiscal 2016 compared with 27.7 percent in the first two quarters of fiscal 2015. In the first two quarters of fiscal 2016, our effective tax rate was impacted as described above by the discrete items noted above regarding the second quarter of fiscal 2016 and by a benefit recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2016 from the settlement

of several items for amounts lower than previously recorded estimates. In the first two quarters of fiscal 2015, our effective tax rate benefited from the discrete items noted above regarding the second quarter of fiscal 2015, as well as from the recognition, in the first quarter of fiscal 2015, of foreign tax credits resulting from a dividend paid by a foreign subsidiary during fiscal 2013 that exceeded the U.S. tax liability in respect of the dividend. These discrete items resulted in an aggregate benefit of approximately $23 million (approximately 6 percent of income from continuing operations before income taxes) in calculating our effective tax rate in the first two quarters of fiscal 2015.

Note N — Impairment of Goodwill and Other Assets

We test our goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually, or under certain circumstances, more frequently, such as when events or circumstances indicate there may be impairment. Indications of potential impairment of goodwill related to Harris CapRock Communications (which is part of our Critical Networks segment) were present at the end of the quarter ended January 1, 2016 due to the downturn in the energy market and its impact on customer operations, which also resulted in a decrease in the fiscal 2016 outlook for Harris CapRock Communications. Consequently, in connection with the preparation and review of our financial statements for the quarter ended January 1, 2016, we performed an interim review of Harris CapRock Communications’ goodwill for impairment as of the end of the quarter ended January 1, 2016.

To test for potential impairment of goodwill related to Harris CapRock Communications, we prepared a preliminary estimate of the fair value of the reporting unit based on projected discounted cash flows. The current carrying value of the Harris CapRock Communications reporting unit exceeded its estimated fair value, and accordingly, we preliminarily allocated the estimated fair value to the assets and liabilities of the Harris CapRock Communications reporting unit to estimate the implied fair value of goodwill.

In conjunction with the above-described impairment review, we also conducted a review for impairment of other assets related to Harris CapRock Communications, including amortizable intangible assets and fixed assets, and impairment of these assets was considered prior to the conclusion of the goodwill impairment review. The estimated fair value of these other assets related to Harris CapRock Communications was determined based, in part, on an analysis of projected cash flows.

As a result of these impairment reviews, we concluded that goodwill and other assets related to Harris CapRock Communications were impaired as of the end of the quarter ended January 1, 2016, and we recorded an estimated non-cash impairment charge of $367 million ($328 million after-tax), of which $290 million related to goodwill. Due to the length of time necessary to measure the impairment of goodwill and other assets, our impairment analysis is not complete and is subject to change. We expect to complete our analysis prior to reporting our financial results for the third quarter of fiscal 2016 and will record any adjustments to our preliminary estimate at that time. Most of the $367 million estimated impairment charge is not deductible for tax purposes. The tax effect of that non-deductibility was treated as a discrete item in the quarter ended January 1, 2016 for purposes of calculating our effective tax rate. We do not expect to make any current or future cash expenditures as a result of the impairment. The estimated impairment will not cause us to be in noncompliance with the covenants under our credit arrangements, and we do not expect the impairment to impact our ongoing financial performance, although no assurances can be given.

Note O — 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:

11

Table of Contents

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 January 1, 2016:

We had certain assets measured and recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis using level 3 inputs during the quarter and two quarters ended January 1, 2016. Goodwill and other assets held and used related to Harris CapRock Communications with a carrying amount of $714 million were written down to their preliminary estimate of fair value of $347 million, resulting in a preliminary estimate of $367 million for a non-cash impairment charge, which was included in income (loss) from continuing operations for the quarter and two quarters ended January 1, 2016. See Note   N — Impairment of Goodwill and Other Assets in these Notes for additional information.

The following table presents the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of our significant financial instruments that were not measured at fair value (carrying amounts of other financial instruments not listed in the table below approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of those items):

Note P — 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 speculative trading purposes.

At January 1, 2016, we had open foreign currency forward contracts with an aggregate notional amount of $79 million, of which $73 million were classified as fair value hedges and $6 million were classified as cash flow hedges. This compares with open foreign currency forward contracts with an aggregate notional amount of $74 million at July 3, 2015, of which $73 million were classified as fair value hedges and $1 million were classified as cash flow hedges. At January 1, 2016, contract expiration dates ranged from less than 1 month to 5 months with a weighted average contract life of 1 month.

Exchange-Rate Risk — 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

Table of Contents

of Income (Unaudited). As of January 1, 2016, we had outstanding foreign currency forward contracts denominated in the British Pound, Australian Dollar, Singapore Dollar, Brazilian Real, Norwegian Krone, Canadian Dollar and Mexican Peso to hedge certain balance sheet items. The net gains or losses on foreign currency forward contracts designated as fair value hedges were not material in the quarter and two quarters ended January 1, 2016 or in the quarter and two quarters ended January 2, 2015. In addition, no amounts were recognized in earnings in the quarter and two quarters ended January 1, 2016 or in the quarter and two quarters ended January 2, 2015 related to hedged firm commitments that no longer qualify as fair value hedges.

Exchange-Rate Risk — 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 being used to hedge currency exposures from cash flows anticipated across our business segments. We also have hedged U.S. Dollar payments to suppliers to maintain our anticipated profit margins in our international operations. As of January 1, 2016, we had outstanding foreign currency forward contracts denominated in the British Pound and Euro 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 accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of hedge ineffectiveness. Gains and losses from other comprehensive loss 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 loss, including gains or losses related to hedge ineffectiveness, were not material in the quarter and two quarters ended January 1, 2016 or in the quarter and two quarters ended January 2, 2015. 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 January 1, 2016 that will be reclassified to earnings from other comprehensive income (loss) within the next 12 months to be material.

Credit Risk

We are exposed to the risk of credit losses from non-performance by counterparties to the financial instruments discussed above, 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.

The amount of assets and liabilities related to foreign currency forward contracts in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet (Unaudited) as of January 1, 2016 was immaterial.

Note Q — 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) or the ratio of actual units delivered to estimated total units to be delivered under the contract (i.e., the “units-of-delivery” method) with consideration given for risk of performance and estimated profit. 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.

13

Table of Contents

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 estimated total contract value, or revenue, based on our expectation of performance on the contract. As the cost-reimbursable contract progresses, our estimated 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 estimated 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 $24 million ($0.12 per diluted share) and $41 million ($0.20 per diluted share) in the quarter and two quarters ended January 1, 2016, respectively, and by $16 million ($0.11 per diluted share) and $38 million ($0.26 per diluted share) in the quarter and two quarters ended January 2, 2015, respectively.

Note R — Business Segments

We adjusted our segment reporting in the first quarter of fiscal 2016 to reflect our new organizational structure that was effective at the beginning of fiscal 2016. We structure our operations primarily around the products and services we sell and the markets we serve, and commencing with the first quarter of fiscal 2016, we report the financial results of our operations in the following four operating segments, which are also our reportable segments and are referred to as our business segments:

The historical results, discussion and presentation of our business segments as set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q reflect the impact of these adjustments for all periods presented. There is no impact on our previously reported consolidated statements of income, balance sheets or statements of cash flows resulting from these adjustments.

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 2015 Form 10-K. 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 items in the tables below represent 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.
