Introductory L3Harris Merger
As described in more detail in Note Regarding Merger Involving Harris Corporation1: Significant Accounting Policies under “Principles of Consolidation” and L3 Technologies, Inc.
OnNote 5: Business Combination in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this Report (the “Notes”), on October 12, 2018, Harris Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Harris”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with L3 Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“L3”), and Leopard Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and a newly formed, direct wholly ownedwholly-owned subsidiary of Harris (“Merger Sub”), pursuant to which Harris and L3 agreed to combine their respective businesses in an all-stock merger, at the closing of which Merger Sub would merge with and into L3, with L3 continuing as the surviving corporation and a direct wholly ownedwholly-owned subsidiary of Harris (the “L3Harris Merger”).
, and Harris’ name would change to “L3Harris Technologies, Inc.” The closing of the L3Harris Merger occurred on June 29, 2019, after the end of Harris’ fiscal 2019 on June 28, 2019. Upon completion of the L3Harris Merger, Harris was renamed “L3Harris Technologies, Inc.” (“L3Harris”), and each share of L3 common stock converted into the right to receive 1.30 shares of L3Harris common stock. Shares of L3Harris common stock, which previously traded under ticker symbol “HRS” on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) prior to completion of the L3Harris Merger, are traded under ticker symbol “LHX” following completion of the L3Harris Merger. L3Harris was owned on a fully diluted basis approximately 54 percent by Harris shareholders and 46 percent by L3 shareholders immediately following the completion of the L3Harris Merger.
Applicable rules require that most of the disclosure in this Annual Report on Form 10-K (this “Report”) be presented on a historical basis, as of or for the fiscal year ended June 28, 2019 (Harris’ fiscal 2019) or prior periods, including, for example, all or significant portions of the business description, results of operations, financial position, financial reports and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations disclosed in this Report. Because the L3Harris Merger closed after Harris’ fiscal 2019 ended, the disclosure in this Report, including in such portions, principally relates to Harris. Unless the context otherwise requires, the terms “we,” “our,” “us,” “Company” and “L3Harris” as used in this Report mean Harris Corporation and its subsidiaries when referring to periods prior to the end of fiscal 2019 (prior to the L3Harris Merger) and to the combined company L3Harris Technologies, Inc., when referring to periods after the end of fiscal 2019 (after the L3Harris Merger).

As noted above, our common stock is now traded under the ticker symbol “LHX” on the NYSE, and unlessUnless the context otherwise requires, the terms “we,” “our,” “us,” “Company” and “L3Harris” as used in this Report mean the combined company L3Harris Technologies, Inc. and its subsidiaries, when referring to periods after the end of fiscal 2019 (after the L3Harris Merger) and mean Harris Corporation and its subsidiaries when referring to periods prior to the end of fiscal 2019 (prior to the L3Harris Merger).
We provide advanced defense and to the combined company, L3Harris Technologies, Inc., when referring to periods after the end of fiscal 2019 (after the L3Harris Merger).
During fiscal 2019, we operated as Harris Corporation, a leading technology innovator, solving customers’ toughest mission-critical challenges by providing solutions that connect, informcommercial technologies across air, land, sea, space and protect.cyber domains. We supportedsupport government and commercial customers in more than 100 countries, with our largest customers being various departments and agencies of the U.S. Government and their prime contractors. Our products, systems and services hadhave defense and civil government applications, as well as commercial applications. As of the end of fiscal 2019,January 1, 2021, we had approximately 18,20048,000 employees, including approximately 8,00019,000 engineers and scientists.
As of June 28, 2019, we structured
1

We structure our operations primarily around the products, systems and services we soldsell and the markets we served,serve, and we reportedreport the financial results of our continuing operations in the following threefour reportable segments, which wereare also referred to as our business segments:
Communication•Integrated Mission Systems, serving markets in tactical communications and defense products, including tactical ground and airborne radio communications solutions and night vision technology, and in public safety networks;
Electronic Systems, providing electronic warfare, avionics, and command, control, communications, computers,multi-mission intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (“C4ISR”ISR”) solutions for defense and classified customerscommunication systems; integrated electrical and mission-critical communicationelectronic systems for civilmaritime platforms; and advanced electro-optical and infrared (“EO/IR”) solutions;

During the first quarter of fiscal 2020, we adjusted our segment reporting to better align our businesses and
transferred two businesses between our Integrated Mission Systems and Space and IntelligenceAirborne Systems providing intelligence, space protection, geospatial, complete Earth observation, universe exploration, positioning, navigationsegments. The historical results, discussion and timing (“PNT”), and environmental solutionspresentation of our business segments as set forth in this Report reflect the impact of these changes to our segment reporting for national security, defense, civil and commercial customers, using advanced sensors, antennas and payloads, as well as ground processing andall periods presented in order to present segment information analytics.on a comparable basis. There is no impact on our previously reported consolidated statements of income, balance sheets, statements of cash flows or statements of equity resulting from these changes.
Subsequent EventsL3Harris Merger
As noted above and described in more detail in Note 1: Significant Accounting Policies under “Principles of Consolidation” and Note 26: Subsequent Events5: Business Combination in the Notes, to Consolidated Financial Statements in this Report (the “Notes”), the L3Harris Merger closed on June 29, 2019, after Harris’ fiscal 2019 ended (on June 28, 2019), and consequently, all or significant portions of the disclosure in the business description, results of operations, financial position, financial reports and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in this Report principally relate to Harris.
Through fiscal 2019, our fiscal years ended on the Friday nearest June 30. Commencing June 29, 2019, our fiscal year will end on the Friday nearest December 31, and the period commencing on June 29, 2019 will be a fiscal transition period ending on January 3, 2020 (the “Fiscal Transition Period”). Our segment reporting for the Fiscal Transition Period will be adjusted to reflect our new organizational structure announced July 1, 2019, consisting of the following four business segments:
Integrated Mission Systems, including intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (“ISR”); advanced electro optical and infrared solutions; and maritime power and navigation;
Space and Airborne Systems, including space payloads, sensors and full-mission solutions; classified intelligence and cyber defense; avionics; and electronic warfare;
Communication Systems, including tactical communications; broadband communications; night vision; and public safety; and
Aviation Systems, including defense aviation products; security, detection and other commercial aviation products; air traffic management; and commercial and military pilot training.
These changes to our segment reporting are effective as of the beginning of the Fiscal Transition Period and therefore do not affect the historical results, discussion or presentation of our business segments as set forth in this Report. We will report our financial results consistent with this new segment reporting structure beginning with the fiscal quarter ending September 27, 2019.

As part of the regulatory process in connection with the L3Harris Merger, we entered into a definitive agreement on April 4, 2019 to sell the Harris Night Vision business to Elbit Systems of America, LLC, a subsidiary of Elbit Systems Ltd., for $350 million in cash, subject to customary purchase price adjustments as set forth in the definitive agreement. The sale transaction was conditioned on completion of the L3Harris Merger, as well as customary closing conditions, including receipt of regulatory approvals. The Harris Night Vision business, which is reported as part of our Communication Systems Segment in this Report, is a global supplier of high-performance, vision-enhancing products for U.S. and allied military and security forces and commercial customers. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019, we received all necessary regulatory approvals for the L3Harris Merger and the assets and liabilities of the Harris Night Vision business were classified as held for sale in our Consolidated Balance Sheet at June 28, 2019. We expect to close the sale of the Harris Night Vision business during the third quarter of calendar year 2019 and use the proceeds from the sale to pre-fund L3Harris pension plans and return cash to shareholders.

Space and Intelligence Systems in fiscal 2019 provided intelligence, space protection, geospatial, complete Earth observation, universe exploration, PNT, and environmental solutions for national security, defense, civil and commercial customers, using advanced sensors, antennas and payloads, as well as ground processing and information analytics. Many of these solutions include reliable, resilient and innovative capabilities.
We develop, supply and integrate communication and information processing products, systems and networks for a diverse base of classified programs, which comprise about two-thirds of this segment’s revenue. Serving primarily U.S. Intelligence Community customers, including the National Security Agency (“NSA”), the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency, the National Reconnaissance Office and the Defense Intelligence Agency, we provide integrated ISR solutions that improve situational awareness and intelligence value to decision makers. In addition, we have advanced capabilities in the architecture, design and development of highly specialized satellite antennas, structures, phased arrays and on-board reconfigurable processors that are used to enable next-generation satellite systems to provide the U.S. military and Intelligence Community with strategic and tactical advantages. Our classified capabilities range from exquisite systems to small satellites and other next-generation technology. Although classified programs generally are not discussed in this Report, the operating results relating to classified programs are included in our Consolidated Financial Statements. We believe that the business risks associated with our classified programs do not differ materially from the business risks associated with our other U.S. Government programs.
For space superiority for our DoD customers, we provide enterprise architecture services that support the long-term planning, development, integration and sustainment of highly advanced, mission-critical space-based and ground-based surveillance systems for space situational awareness. We also design, integrate and sustain space control systems, such as maintaining and modernizing large radar installations globally and providing engineering support and sustainment for ground-based systems supporting space surveillance and defense missions for the U.S. Air Force under the System Engineering and Sustainment Integrator (“SENSOR”) program.
We are a leading provider of integrated real-time, autonomous geospatial solutions, ranging from advanced image and data collection sources to innovative software tools to high-volume, high-accuracy processing services, designed to aid customers in analyzing the physical environment and obtaining actionable information for more informed decisions. Our specialized capabilities include highly reliable remote sensing systems for ground, air, sea and space; information processing; real-time forensic and predictive analytics; content management; and system performance modeling and simulation. We also provide ground processing and analytics solutions that map and monitor Earth for a variety of government and commercial users.
Our complete Earth observation solutions encompass comprehensive space, airborne, ground and sea remote sensing capabilities, from end-to-end remote sensing systems for global and regional situational awareness to integrated processing solutions on the ground and on airborne platforms that extract critical information and reduce time to high-confidence decisions. We specialize in remote sensing payloads that offer weather and environmental imagery, radar, video, tracking and multi-spectral information, as well as the processing, exploitation and dissemination of the data from these payloads to support our customers’ missions.

Our environmental solutions monitor and evaluate our global environment with ground-based and space-based remote sensing, change detection and data processing. We design, develop and build instruments to help measure, understand and monitor real-time weather and environmental trends to support decision making for government agencies, scientists, businesses and policy makers. For example, for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (“NOAA”) Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite - Series R (“GOES-R”) Ground and Antenna Segment weather programs, we designed, developed and delivered to NOAA the ground segment system that receives and processes satellite data, generates and distributes weather data to more than 10,000 direct users, and commands and controls the GOES-R satellites, and we also are supplying antennas and control systems to provide communication links for command, telemetry and sensor data, as well as the communication link to direct data users.
We are a global provider of PNT products, systems and solutions. Our navigation payload technology is an integral component of U.S. Global Positioning System (“GPS”) satellites and supports GPS availability, accuracy and integrity. We currently are deploying advanced technologies under the GPS III program to improve the accuracy and reliability of the next generation of GPS satellites.
We design, develop, manufacture and integrate agile and high-performance modular, reconfigurable space payloads that maximize mission performance, and we can help our customers achieve their space missions more quickly and cost effectively by brokering, designing and integrating multimission satellite hosted payloads. For example, we supplied Aireon, LLC with ADS-B receiver payloads that are part of a satellite-based aircraft tracking system to enhance global ATC. The payloads are hosted on the Iridium NEXT satellite constellation, and provide a capability separate from the main mission of the constellation. Using our experience with hosted payloads, we have expanded into agile and resilient small satellite solutions, which we believe are aligned with the U.S. Government’s disaggregation and affordability initiatives.
We also provide space antenna systems and precision space structures. We are an experienced space reflector manufacturer and specialize in large, high-accuracy reflectors, which can range from unfurlable and fixed-mesh reflector antennas to solid spot beam antennas and which deliver significantly higher data rates and access greater amounts of bandwidth than standard satellite antenna technologies. We also develop small, affordable, high-resolution commercial imaging systems.

International Business
Revenue from products and services where the end consumer is located outside the U.S., including foreign military sales through the U.S. Government, in fiscal 2019, 2018 and 2017 was $3.7 billion (20 percent of our revenue), $2.0 billion (21 percent of our revenue), $1.5 billion (22 percent of our revenue), and $1.4 billion (23 percent of our revenue) in fiscal 2020, the two quarters ended January 3, 2020, and $1.5 billion (25 percent of our revenue),fiscal 2019 and 2018, respectively. Most of our international sales were derived from our Communication Systems and Electronic Systems segments. Direct export sales are primarily denominated in U.S. Dollars, whereas sales from foreign subsidiaries are generally denominated in the local currency of the subsidiary. FinancialFor financial information regarding our domestic and international operations, including long-lived assets, is contained insee Note 24:25: Business Segments in the Notes and is incorporated herein by reference.Notes.
The majority of our historic international marketing activities have beenare conducted through subsidiaries that operatedoperate in Europe, the EMEA (Europe, Middle East Asia, Australia, Canada and Africa.Africa) and APAC (Asia-Pacific) regions and Canada. We also have established international marketing organizations and several regional sales offices. For further information regarding our international subsidiaries, see Exhibit 21 of this Report.
Fiscal 2019 internationalInternational revenue for fiscal 2020 came from a large number of countries, and no single foreign country accounted for more than 5 percent of our total revenue. Some of our exports are paid for by letters of credit, with the balance carried on an open account. Advance payments, progress payments or other similar payments received prior to or upon shipment often cover most of the related costs incurred. Significant foreign government contracts generally require us to provide performance guarantees. In order to remain competitive in international markets, we also sometimes enter into offset agreements or recourse or vendor financing arrangements to facilitate sales to certain customers.
We historically have utilizedutilize indirect sales channels, including dealers, distributors and sales representatives, in the marketing and sale of some lines of products and equipment, both domestically and internationally. These independent representatives may buy for resale or, in some cases, solicit orders from commercial or government customers for direct sales by us. Prices to the ultimate customer in many instances may be recommended or established by the independent representative and may be above or below our list prices. Our dealers and distributors generally receive a discount from our list prices and may mark up those prices in setting the final sales prices paid by the customer. Revenue from indirect sales channels

represented approximately 10 percent of total revenue in each of fiscal 2019 and 2018 and 11 percent of total revenue in fiscal 2017. International revenue from indirect sales channels represented approximately 37 percent, 41 percent and 31 percent of total international revenue in fiscal 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
The particular economic, social and political conditions for business conducted outside the U.S. differ from those encountered by businesses in the U.S. We believe that the overall business risk for our international business as a whole is somewhat greater than that faced by our domestic businesses as a whole. A description of the types of risks to which we are
5

subject in our international business is contained in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of this Report. In our opinion, these risks are partially mitigated by the diversification of our international business and the protection provided by letters of credit and advance payments, progress payments and other similar payments.
CompetitionCompetitive Conditions and Trends in Market Demand
We operate in highly competitive markets that are sensitive to technological advances. ManySome of our competitors in each of our markets are larger than we are and can maintain higher levels of expenditures for research and development. In each of our markets, we concentrate on the opportunities that we believe are compatible with our resources, overall technological capabilities and objectives. Principal competitive factors in these markets are product quality and reliability; technological capabilities, including reliable, resilient and innovative cyber capabilities; service; past performance; ability to develop and implement complex, integrated solutions; ability to meet delivery schedules; the effectiveness of third-party sales channels in international markets; and cost-effectiveness. We frequently “partner” or are involved in subcontracting and teaming relationships with companies that are, from time to time, competitors on other programs. Our principal competitors includeWe compete domestically and internationally against large aerospace and defense companies; principally, BAE Systems, Boeing, General Dynamics, Lockheed Martin, Motorola Solutions, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon Technologies and United Technologies.Thales; and, increasingly, non-traditional defense contractors.

Principal Customers; Government Contracts
The percentage of our revenue that was derived from sales to U.S. Government customers, including foreign military sales funded through the U.S. Government, whether directly or through prime contractors, was 78 percent, 73 percent, 77 percent and 75 percent in fiscal 2020, the two quarters ended January 3, 2020, and fiscal 2019 2018 and 2017 was approximately 77 percent, 75 percent and 74 percent,2018, respectively. No other customer accounted for more than 5 percent of our revenue in fiscal 2019.2020. Additional information regarding customers for each of our segments is provided under “Item 1. Business — Description of Business by Segment” of this Report. Our U.S. Government sales are predominantly derived from contracts with departments and agencies of, and prime contractors to, the U.S. Government. Most of the sales in our ElectronicSpace and Airborne Systems and Space and IntelligenceIntegrated Mission Systems segments are made directly or indirectly to the U.S. Government under contracts or subcontracts containing standard government contract clauses providing for redetermination of profits, if applicable, and for termination for the convenience of the U.S. Government or for default based on performance.
Our U.S. Government contracts and subcontracts include both cost-reimbursable and fixed-price contracts. Government-wide Acquisition Contracts (“GWACs”) and multi-vendor IDIQindefinite duration-indefinite quantity (“IDIQ”) contracts, which can include task orders for each contract type, require us to compete both for the initial contract and then for individual task or delivery orders under such contracts.
Our U.S. Government cost-reimbursable contracts provide for the reimbursement of allowable costs plus payment of a fee and fall into three basic types: (i) cost-plus fixed-fee contracts, which provide for payment of a fixed fee irrespective of the final cost of performance; (ii) cost-plus incentive-fee contracts, which provide for payment of a fee that may increase or decrease, within specified limits, based on actual results compared with contractual targets relating to factors such as cost, performance and delivery schedule; and (iii) cost-plus award-fee contracts, which provide for payment of an award fee determined at the customer’s discretion based on our performance against pre-established performance criteria. Under our U.S. Government cost-reimbursable contracts, we are reimbursed periodically for allowable costs and are paid a portion of the fee based on contract progress. Some overhead costs have been made partially or wholly unallowable for reimbursement by statute or regulation. Examples include certain merger and acquisition costs, lobbying costs, charitable contributions, interest expense and certain litigation defense costs.
Our U.S. Government fixed-price contracts are either firm fixed-price contracts or fixed-price incentive contracts. Under our U.S. Government firm fixed-price contracts, we agree to perform a specific scope of work or sell a specific product for a fixed price and, as a result, benefit from cost savings and carry the burden of cost overruns. Under our U.S. Government fixed-price incentive contracts, we share with the U.S. Government both savings accrued for performance at less than target cost as well as costs incurred in excess of target cost up to a negotiated ceiling price, which is higher than the target cost, but carry the entire burden of costs exceeding the negotiated ceiling price. Accordingly, under such incentive contracts, profit may also be adjusted up or down depending on whether specified performance objectives are met. Under our U.S. Government firm fixed-price and fixed-price incentive contracts, we generally receive from the U.S. Government either milestone payments totaling 100 percent of the contract price or monthly progress payments in amounts equaling 80 percent of costs incurred under the contract.contract (however, in response to the novel COVID-19 strain of coronavirus pandemic (“COVID”), the U.S. Government has taken steps to increase the current rate for certain progress payments to 90 percent of costs incurred under relevant contracts to enhance cash flow and liquidity for the defense industrial base). The remaining amounts, including profits or incentive fees, are billed upon delivery and final acceptance of end items and deliverables under the contract. Our production contracts are mainly fixed-price contracts, and development contracts are generally cost-reimbursable contracts.

As stated above, U.S. Government contracts are terminable for the convenience of the U.S. Government, as well as for default based on performance. Companies supplying goods and services to the U.S. Government are dependent on Congressional appropriations and administrative allotment of funds and may be affected by changes in U.S. Government policies resulting from various military, political, economic and international developments. Long-term U.S. Government contracts and related orders are subject to cancellation if appropriations for subsequent performance periods become unavailable. Under contracts terminable for the convenience of the U.S. Government, a contractor is entitled to receive payments for its allowable costs and, in general, the proportionate share of fees or earnings for the work done. Contracts that are terminable for default generally provide that the U.S. Government pays only for the work it has accepted and may require the contractor to pay for the incremental cost of re-procurement and may hold the contractor liable for damages. In many cases, there is also uncertainty relating to the complexity of designs, necessity for design improvements and difficulty in forecasting costs and schedules when bidding on developmental and highly sophisticated technical work. Under many U.S. Government contracts, we are required to maintain facility and personnel security clearances complying with DoD and other Federal agency requirements.
From time to time we may begin performance of a U.S. Government contract under an undefinitized contract action (“UCA”) with a not to exceed price before the terms, specifications or price are finally agreed to between the parties. In addition,these arrangements, the U.S. Government recentlyhas the ability to unilaterally definitize the contract if a mutual agreement regarding terms, specifications and price cannot be reached.
The U.S. Government has increased its focus on procurement process improvement initiatives and has implemented certain changes in its procurement practices. These developments may change the way U.S. Government contracts are solicited, negotiated and managed, which may affect whether and how we pursue opportunities to provide our products and services to the U.S. Government, including the terms and conditions under which we do so, which may have an adverse impact to our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and cash flows.equity. For example, contracts awarded under the DoD’s Other Transaction Authority for research and prototypes generally require cost-sharing and may not follow, or may follow only in part, standard U.S. Government contracting practices and terms, such as the Federal Acquisition Regulation (“FAR”) and Cost Accounting Standards.

Backlog
Total Company-wide total backlog was $21.7 billion at January 1, 2021, of which $16.3 billion was funded backlog, was approximately $5.8 billion and $5.2compared with $20.6 billion at January 3, 2020, of which $16.2 billion was funded backlog. Backlog at January 3, 2020 included $405 million associated with businesses divested in fiscal 2020, including $380 million of backlog associated with the airport security and automation business divested during the quarter ended July 3, 2020. We expect to recognize approximately 54 percent of the revenue associated with Company-wide total backlog by the end of fiscal 20192021 and 2018, respectively.approximately 85 percent of the revenue associated with Company-wide total backlog including unfunded backlog, was $8.3 billion atby the end of fiscal 2019.

We define funded backlog as unfilled firm orders for products and services for which funding has been authorized and, in the case of U.S. Government customers, appropriated.

Research and Development (“R&D”)
Company-sponsored research and development (“R&D”)&D costs, which include R&D for commercial products and services and independent R&D related to government products and services, as well as concept formulation studieswere $684 million, $329 million, $331 million and technology development that occurs on certain bid and proposal efforts,$311 million in fiscal 2020, in the two quarters ended January 3, 2020, and fiscal 2019 2018 and 2017 were approximately $331 million, $311 million and $310 million,2018, respectively. A portion of our independent R&D costs are allocated among contracts and programs in process under U.S. Government contractual arrangements. Company-sponsored R&D costs not

otherwise allocable are charged to expense when incurred. Company-sponsored research is directed to the development of new products and services and to building technological capability in various markets.
Customer-sponsored R&D costs are incurred pursuant to contractual arrangements, principally U.S. Government-sponsored contracts requiring us to provide a product or service meeting certain defined performance or other specifications (such as designs). This research helps strengthen and broaden our technical capabilities. Customer-sponsored research costs are accounted for principally by the cost-to-cost percentage-of-completion method and included in our revenue and cost of product sales and services.
Patents and Other Intellectual Property
We consider our patents and other intellectual property, in the aggregate, to constitute an important asset. We own a large portfolio of patents, trade secrets, know-how, confidential information, trademarks, copyrights and other intellectual property, including reliable, resilient and innovative cyber capabilities, and we routinely apply for new patents, trademarks and copyrights. We also license intellectual property to and from third parties. As of June 28, 2019,January 1, 2021, we held approximately 1,770

2,300 U.S. patents and 1,6002,100 foreign patents, and had approximately 160250 U.S. patent applications pending and 210400 foreign patent applications pending. Unpatented research, development and engineering skills also make an important contribution to our business. Although our intellectual property rights in the aggregate are important to our business and the operations of our business segments, we do not consider our business or any business segment to be materially dependent on any single patent, license or other intellectual property right, or any group of related patents, licenses or other intellectual property rights. We are engaged in a proactive patent licensing program and have entered into a number of licenses and cross-license agreements, some of which generate royalty income. Although existing license agreements have generated income in past years and may do so in the future, there can be no assurances we will enter into additional income-producing license agreements. From time to time, we engage in litigation to protect our patents and other intellectual property. Any of our patents, trade secrets, trademarks, copyrights and other proprietary rights could be challenged, invalidated or circumvented, or may not provide competitive advantages. For further discussion of risks relating to intellectual property, see “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of this Report. With regard to certain patents, the U.S. Government has an irrevocable, non-exclusive, royalty-free license, pursuant to which the U.S. Government may use or authorize others to use the inventions covered by such patents. Pursuant to similar arrangements, the U.S. Government may consent to our use of inventions covered by patents owned by other persons. Numerous trademarks used on or in connection with our products are also considered to be a valuable asset.
Environmental and OtherGovernment Regulations
Our company is subject to various federal, state, local and international laws and regulations relating to the development, manufacturing, sale and distribution of our products, systems and services, and it is our policy to comply with the applicable laws in each jurisdiction in which we conduct business. Regulations include but are not limited to those related to import and export controls, corruption, bribery, environment, government procurement, wireless communications, competition, product safety, workplace health and safety, employment, labor and data privacy. The following describes significant regulations that may impact our businesses. For further discussion of risks relating to government regulations, see “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of this Report.
Import/Export Regulations.We sell products and solutions to customers all over the world and are required to comply with U.S. Export Administration Regulations and economic and trade sanctions programs limiting or banning sales into certain countries. Countries outside of the U.S. have implemented similar controls and sanction regulations. Together these controls and regulations may impose licensing requirements on exports of certain technology and software from the U.S. and may impact our ability to transact business in certain countries or with certain customers. We have developed compliance programs and training to prevent violations of these programs and regulations, and we regularly monitor changes in the law and regulations and create strategies to deal with changes. Changes in the law may restrict or further restrict our ability to sell products and solutions.
Anti-Corruption Regulations.Because we have significant international operations, we must comply with complex regulations, including U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the U.K. Bribery Act and other local laws prohibiting corrupt payments to governmental officials, and anti-competition regulations. We have compliance policies, programs and training to prevent non-compliance with such anti-corruption regulations in the U.S. and outside the U.S. We monitor pending and proposed legislation and regulatory changes that may impact our business and develop strategies to address the changes and incorporate them into existing compliance programs.
Environmental Regulations. Our facilities and operations are subject to numerous domestic and international laws and regulations designed to protect the environment, particularly with regard to waste and emissions. The applicable environmental laws and regulations are common within the industries and markets in which we operate and serve. We believe that we have complied with these requirements and that such compliance has not had a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or cash flows.equity. We have installed waste treatment facilities and pollution control equipment to satisfy legal requirements and to achieve our waste minimization and prevention goals. A portion of our environmental expenditures relates to businesses or operations we no longer own, but for which we have retained certain environmental liabilities. We did not spend material amounts on environmental-related capital projects in fiscal 2020, the two quarters ended January 3, 2020, or fiscal
8

2019 2018 or 2017.2018. Based on currently available information, we do not expect capital expenditures in the Fiscal Transition Periodfiscal 2021 or over the next several years to protect the environment and to comply with current environmental laws and regulations, as well as to comply with current and pending climate control legislation, regulation, treaties and accords, to be material or to have a material impact on our competitive position or financial condition, but we can give no assurance that such expenditures will not exceed current expectations, and such expenditures may increase in future years. If future treaties, laws and regulations contain more stringent requirements than presently anticipated, actual expenditures may be higher than our present estimates of those expenditures.
Additional information regarding environmental and regulatory matters is set forth in “Item 3. Legal Proceedings” of this Report and in Note 1: Significant Accounting Policies and Note 25:26: Legal Proceedings and Contingencies in the Notes.
Electronic products are subject to governmental environmental regulation in a number of jurisdictions, such as domestic and international requirements requiring end-of-life management and/or restricting materials in products delivered to customers, including the European Union’s Directive 2012/19/EU on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment and Directive 2011/65/EU on the Restriction of the use of certain Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment (“RoHS”), as amended. Other jurisdictions have adopted similar legislation. Such requirements typically are not applicable to most equipment produced by our segments. We believe that we have complied with such rules and regulations, where applicable, with respect to our existing products sold into such jurisdictions. We intend to comply with such rules and regulations with respect to our future products.
Wireless Communications Regulations.Wireless communications, whether radio, satellite or telecommunications, are also subject to governmental regulation. Equipment produced in our Communication Systems segment,and Space and Airborne Systems segments, in particular, is subject to domestic and international requirements to avoid interference among users of radio and television frequencies and to permit interconnection of telecommunications equipment. We are also required to comply with technical operating and licensing requirements that pertain to our wireless licenses and operations. We believe that we have complied with such rules and regulations and licenses with respect to our existing products and services, and we intend to comply with such rules and regulations and licenses with respect to our future products and services. Governmental reallocation of the frequency spectrum also could impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Raw Materials and Supplies
Because of the diversity of our products and services, as well as the wide geographic dispersion of our facilities, we use numerous sources for the wide array of raw materials, such as electronic components, printed circuit boards, metals and plastics, needed for our operations and for our products. We are dependent on suppliers and subcontractors for a large number of components and subsystems and the ability of our suppliers and subcontractors to adhere to customer or regulatory materials restrictions and to meet performance and quality specifications and delivery schedules. In some instances, we are dependent on one or a few sources, either because of the specialized nature of a particular item or because of local content preference

requirements pursuant to which we operate on a given project. In addition, in connection with our U.S. Government contracts, we are required to procure certain materials, components and parts, including microelectronics components, from supply sources approved by the U.S. Government, which may limit the suppliers and subcontractors we may utilize. Although we have been affected by financial and performance issues of some of our suppliers and subcontractors, we have not been materially adversely affected by the inability to obtain raw materials or products. On occasion, we have experienced component shortages from vendors as a result of natural disasters, or the RoHS environmental regulations in the European Union or similar regulations in other jurisdictions. These events or regulations may cause a spike in demand for certain electronic components, such as lead-free components, resulting in industry-wide supply chain shortages. As of June 28, 2019,January 1, 2021, these component shortages have not had a material adverse effect on our business. For further discussion of risks relating to subcontractors and suppliers, see “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of this Report.
Seasonality
We do not consider any material portion of our business to be seasonal. Various factors can affect the distribution of our revenue between accounting periods, including the timing of contract awards and the timing and availability of U.S. Government funding, as well as the timing of product deliveries and customer acceptance.
EmployeesHuman Capital
As a global aerospace and defense technology company, we depend on our highly educated and skilled workforce for our success. Attracting, developing, motivating and retaining highly skilled employees, particularly those with technical, engineering and science backgrounds and experience, is a critical factor in our ability to execute our strategic priorities. We use human capital measures to set goals and monitor performance in several areas, including employee health and safety; talent acquisition, development and retention; and diversity and inclusion.
Workforce Demographics.We had approximately 18,20048,000 employees at the end of fiscal 2019.January 1, 2021, including approximately 19,000 engineers and scientists. Approximately 9588 percent of our employees as of the end of fiscal 2019 wereare located in the U.S. Aand a significant number of our employees possess a U.S. Government security clearance. We also utilize a number of independent contractors. As of the end of fiscal 2019,January 1, 2021, approximately 6303,100 of our U.S. employees
9

were working undercovered by various labor union collective bargaining agreements, with labor unions and worker representatives. These collective bargaining agreementswhich we expect will be renegotiated at various times over the next three years as they expire. Weexpire, as we historically have historically renegotiated these agreementsdone without significant disruption to operating activities. Following
Health and Safety.We strive to maintain a safe work environment for all employees and eliminate workplace incidents, risks and hazards. We review and monitor our performance closely to reduce Occupational Safety and Health Administration reportable incidents. For fiscal 2020, our total recordable injury rate and lost day injury rate declined 34 percent and 43 percent, respectively, compared with the previous year, and numerous locations across L3Harris Merger,have reached one year or more without a recordable injury. In response to COVID, we now haveimplemented safety measures in our facilities to ensure the overall health and wellness of our workforce. For example, we instituted work-from-home (for employees who are able to work remotely) and social distancing arrangements; canceled non-essential travel and external events; procured personal protective equipment for employees; implemented health screening procedures at all facilities; staggered work shifts, redesigned work stations, implemented stringent cleaning protocols and initiated more employees working under collective bargaining agreements with labor unionsdetailed safety precautions and worker representatives. For certain international subsidiaries,protocols for on-site work, such as daily health assessments and mandatory face coverings, which currently remain in effect.
Talent Acquisition, Development and Retention.Our talent acquisition, development and retention strategy is focused on attracting the best talent, recognizing and rewarding performance and continually developing, engaging and retaining high-performing employees. We support and develop our employees are represented by workers’ councils or statutory labor unions.through global training that promotes our “e3” operating system (excellence, everywhere, everyday). We provide ongoing training and career development focused on compliance with our Code of Conduct, ethics and laws applicable to our businesses; skills and competencies directly related to employees’ positions; and responsibility for personal safety and the safety of fellow employees, others and the environment. We offer competitive salaries, development programs that enable continued learning and growth and a comprehensive benefits package, including health care, retirement planning, educational assistance, child and elder back-up care, paid parental leave and a discretionary paid time off program. In general,addition, we have established a comprehensive employee survey process to help us better understand the total employee experience, including periodic engagement surveys. In fiscal 2020, 82 percent of our employees participated in our engagement survey, exceeding the benchmark of 75 percent.
Diversity and Inclusion.We believe that our relationsfuture success depends on our ability to continue to innovate and develop new solutions to solve our customers’ most critical challenges, and that diversity of thought, experience, perspectives and backgrounds drives innovation. We are investing in an inclusive and diverse workforce by supporting a variety of science, technology, engineering and mathematic initiatives focused on underserved communities. We believe these efforts will help encourage a broader range of students to consider careers in engineering and science. We also have established a diversity council, comprised of employee resource group leadership and executives from across the company, to evaluate and influence the strategies, policies and steps we take to advance diversity and inclusion. We have established two clear long-term goals with respect to the diversity of our workforce: (1) that half of our employees are good.will be women and (2) that at least a third of our employees will be persons of color. Through the above and other efforts, we have improved the diversity of our workforce and we continue to set higher goals. The table below provides the makeup of our workforce in fiscal 2020:

 ITEM 1A.RISK FACTORS.
We have described many of the trends and other factors that we believe could impact our business and future results in “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of this Report. In addition, our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows and equity are subject to, and could be materially adversely affected by, various risks and uncertainties, including, without limitation, those set forth below, any one of which could cause our actual results to vary materially from recent results or our anticipated future results.

COVID-Related Risks
COVID and ongoing attempts to contain and reduce its spread could have a material adverse effect on our business operations, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and equity.
COVID, which in fiscal 2020 was recognized as a pandemic by the World Health Organization and declared a national emergency by the U.S. Government, and ongoing attempts to contain and reduce its spread, such as mandatory closures, “shelter-in-place” orders and travel and quarantine restrictions, have caused significant volatility, uncertainty, disruption and other adverse effects on the U.S. and global economies, including impacts to supply chains, customer demand, international trade and capital markets. These effects have adversely affected certain of our business operations, may further adversely affect our business operations and may materially and adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and equity.
Our response to COVID and related impacts has involved increasing our focus on keeping our employees safe while striving to maintain continuity of operations, meet customer commitments and support suppliers. For example, we instituted work-from-home (for employees who are able to work remotely) and social distancing arrangements; canceled travel and external events; procured personal protective equipment for employees; implemented health screening procedures at all facilities; staggered work shifts, redesigned work stations, implemented stringent cleaning protocols and initiated more detailed safety precautions and protocols for on-site work, such as daily health assessments and mandatory face coverings, which currently remain in effect. We also have maintained an active dialog with key suppliers and developed plans to mitigate supply chain risks. We have allowed certain essential business travel to resume and continue to expect to utilize a phased approach based on local conditions for transitioning employees from work-from-home arrangements to on-site work. The U.S. Government response has included identifying the defense industrial base as a Critical Infrastructure Sector and enhancing cash flow and liquidity for the Defense Industrial Base, such as by increasing progress payments and accelerating contract awards. As a part of the Defense Industrial Base, these actions have enabled us to keep our U.S. production facilities largely operational in support of national security commitments to U.S. Government customers and to accelerate payments to small business suppliers, which we expect to continue while the U.S. Government’s responsive actions remain in effect.
Although we believe that the large percentage of our revenue, earnings and cash flow that is derived from sales to the U.S. Government, both directly and through prime contractors, will be relatively predictable, in part due to the responsive actions taken by the U.S. Government described above, our commercial, international and public safety businesses have experienced adverse COVID-related impacts and remain at a higher risk of further adverse COVID-related impacts. For example, the severe decline in global air traffic from travel restrictions and the resulting downturn in the commercial aviation market and its impact on customer
11

operations has significantly reduced demand for flight training, flight simulators and commercial avionics products in our Aviation Systems segment’s Commercial Aviation Solutions sector. As a result, we temporarily, and in some circumstances permanently, closed, or will soon close, some of our flight training facilities, initiated restructuring and other actions to align resources with the outlook for the commercial aviation market (including workforce reduction and facility consolidation) and also recognized $767 million of charges for impairment of goodwill and other assets and other COVID-related impacts in fiscal 2020.
We are continuing to closely monitor COVID-related impacts on all aspects of our business and geographies, including on our workforce, supply chain and customers. We may continue to or further restrict operations of our facilities if we deem it necessary or if recommended or mandated by governmental authorities, and we may experience further volatility in the overall demand environment for our products, systems and services, any of which would have a further adverse impact on us. Our management’s focus on mitigating COVID-related impacts has required and will continue to require a large investment of time and resources across our enterprise, which may impact other value-added services or initiatives. Additionally, it remains uncertain when and on what scale our employees that are working remotely will return to work in person, and an extended period of remote work arrangements could strain our business continuity plans, create additional operational risk, such as cyber security risks, and impair our ability to manage our business. We may suffer damage to our reputation, which could adversely affect our business, if our responses to COVID-related impacts are unsuccessful or perceived as inadequate for the U.S. or our international markets.
COVID-related costs for us and our suppliers could be significant, and we are seeking reimbursement of certain COVID-related costs under our U.S. Government contracts through a combination of equitable adjustments to the contract price and reimbursement of the costs under Section 3610 of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”), which allows federal agencies to reimburse contractors at the minimum applicable contract billing rate for certain COVID-related costs from March 27, 2020 through March 31, 2021. Reimbursement of any costs under Section 3610 of the CARES Act would increase sales, but is not expected to be at a profit or fee and, thus, would have the effect of reducing our margins in future periods. These cost increases, including costs for employees whose jobs cannot be performed remotely, may not be fully recoverable under our contracts, particularly fixed-price contracts, or adequately covered by insurance. We also have no assurance that Congress will appropriate funds to cover the reimbursement of defense contractors as authorized by the CARES Act, which could reduce funds available for other U.S. Government defense priorities.
The manner and extent to which COVID-related impacts further affect us, directly and indirectly by affecting our workforce, supply chain and customers, will depend on numerous evolving factors and future developments that we are not able to predict, including: the ultimate severity and duration of COVID; the extent, effectiveness and other consequences of attempts to contain and reduce its spread; governmental, business and other actions, which could include closures or other limitations on our or our supply chain’s operations or mandates to provide products, systems or services; impacts on economic activity and customer demand, budgets and buying patterns; the health of and the effect on our workforce and our ability to meet staffing needs in our businesses and facilities, particularly if members of our workforce are quarantined as a result of exposure; any impairment in value of our tangible or intangible assets which could be recorded as a result of weaker economic conditions; and the potential effects on our internal controls, including those over financial reporting, as a result of changes in working environments, among others. In addition, disruptions or turmoil in the credit or financial markets or impacts on our credit ratings could adversely affect our ability to access capital on favorable terms and continue to meet our liquidity needs, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. COVID-related impacts also may exacerbate other risks discussed below, as well as affect us in a manner that we are not aware of currently, any of which could have a material effect on us.
Macroeconomic, Industry and Governmental Risks
We depend on U.S. Government customers for a significant portion of our revenue, and the loss of these relationships, a reduction in U.S. Government funding or a change in U.S. Government spending priorities could have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and cash flows.equity.
We are highly dependent on sales to U.S. Government customers, primarily defense-related programs with the DoD and a
broad range of programs with the U.S. intelligence communityIntelligence Community and other U.S. Government departments and agencies. The percentage of our revenue that was derived from sales to U.S. Government customers, including foreign military sales funded through the U.S. Government, whetherboth directly orand through prime contractors, was 78 percent, 73 percent, 77 percent and 75 percent in fiscal 2020, the two quarters ended January 3, 2020, and fiscal 2019 2018 and 2017 was approximately 77 percent, 75 percent and 74 percent,2018, respectively. Therefore, any significant disruption or deterioration of our relationship with the U.S. Government (in particular, the DoD) would significantly reduce our revenue and have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and cash flows.equity.
Our competitors continuously engageWe operate in highly competitive markets, and the U.S. Government may choose to use contractors other than us, for example as part of competitive bidding processes (through which we expect that a majority of the business we seek will be awarded), or otherwise due to our competitors’ ongoing efforts to expand their business relationships with the U.S. Government and will continue these efforts in the future, and the U.S. Government may choose to use other contractors. We expect that a majority of the business that we seek will be awarded through competitive bidding.Government. The U.S. Government has increasingly relied on certain types of contracts that are subject to multiple competitive bidding processes, including multi-vendor IDIQ, GWAC, General Services Administration Schedule and other multi-award contracts, which has resulted in greater competition and increased pricing pressure. We operate in highly competitive markets. ManySome of our competitors have greater financial
12

resources than we do and may have more extensive or more specialized engineering, manufacturing and marketing capabilities than we do in some areas. We may not be able to continue to win competitively awarded contracts or to obtain task orders under multi-award contracts. Further, the competitive bidding process involvesprocesses involve significant cost and managerial time to prepare bids and proposals for contracts that may not be awarded to us or may be split with competitors as well asand the risk that we may fail to accurately estimate the resources and costs required to fulfill any contract awarded to us. The current competitive bidding environment has resulted
in an increase of bid protests from unsuccessful bidders, which typically extends the time until work on a contract can begin. Following any contract award, webegin and may experienceresult in us experiencing significant expense or delay, contract modification or contract rescission as a result of our competitors protesting or challenging contracts awarded to us in competitive bidding.us.
Our U.S. Government programs must compete with programs managed by other government contractors and with other policy imperatives for consideration for limited resources and for uncertain levels of funding during the budget and appropriations process. Budget and appropriations decisions made by the U.S. Government are outside of our control and have long-term consequences for our business. U.S. Government spending priorities and levels remain uncertain and difficult to predict and are affected by numerous factors, including sequestration (automatic, across-the-board U.S. Government budgetary spending cuts) and potential alternative funding arrangements. A change in U.S. Government spending priorities or an increase in non-procurement spending at the expense of our programs, or a reduction in total U.S. Government spending, could have material adverse consequences on our current or future business. Any inability of the U.S. Government to complete its budget process for any government fiscal year, and consequently having to operate on funding levels equivalent to its prior fiscal year pursuant to a “continuing resolution” or shut down, also could have material adverse consequences on our current or future business. For more information regarding sequestration, see “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations —- Business Considerations —- Industry-Wide Opportunities, Challenges and Risks” of this Report.
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, cash flows and cash flows.equity.
Over its lifetime, aA U.S. Government program may be implemented by the award of many different individual contracts and subcontracts. Thesubcontracts over its lifetime, and its funding of U.S. Government programs is subject to Congressional appropriations. In recent years, U.S.
Government appropriations, which have been affected by larger U.S. Government budgetary issues and related legislation.legislation in recent years. Although multi-year contracts may be authorized and appropriated in connection with major procurements, Congress generally appropriates funds on a government fiscal year basis. Procurement funds are typically made available for obligation over the course of one to three years. Consequently, programs often initially receive only partial funding, and additional funds are obligated only as Congress authorizes further appropriations. We cannot predict the extent to which total funding and/or funding for individual programs will be included, increased or reduced as part of the annual appropriations process ultimately approved by Congress and the President or in separate supplemental appropriations or continuing resolutions, as applicable. The termination of funding for a U.S. Government program would result in a loss of anticipated future revenue attributable to that program, which could have an adverse impact on our operations. In addition, the termination of a program or the failure to commit additional funds to a program that already has been started could result in lost revenue and increase our overall costs of doing business.
Generally, U.S. Government contracts also generally are subject to U.S. Government oversight audits, by U.S. Government representatives. Such auditswhich could result in adjustments to our contract costs. Any costs found to be improperly allocated to a specific contract will not be

reimbursed, and such costs already reimbursed must be refunded. We have recorded contract revenue based on costs we expect to realize upon final audit. However, we do not know the outcome of any future audits and adjustments, and we may be required to materially reduce our revenue or profits upon completion and final negotiation of audits. Negative audit findings could also result in termination of a contract, forfeiture of profits, suspension of payments, fines or suspension or debarment from U.S. Government contracting or subcontracting for a period of time.
In addition, U.S. Government contracts generally contain provisions permitting termination, in whole or in part, without prior notice at the U.S. Government’s convenience upon payment only for work done and commitments made at the time of termination. For some contracts, we are a subcontractor and not the prime contractor, and in those arrangements, the U.S. Government could terminate the prime contractor for convenience without regard for our performance as a subcontractor. We can give no assurance that one or more of our U.S. Government contracts will notmay be terminated under those circumstances. Also, we can give no assurance that we would be ableunable to procure new contracts to offset the revenue or backlog lost as a result of any termination of our U.S. Government contracts. Because a significant portion of our revenue is dependent on our performance and payment under our U.S. Government contracts, the loss of one or more large contracts could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and cash flows.equity.
Our U.S. Government business also is subject to specific procurement regulations and a variety of socioeconomic and other requirements. These requirements that, although customary in U.S. Government contracts, increase our performance and compliance costs. These costs might increase in the future, thereby reducing our margins, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and cash flows.equity. In addition, the U.S. Government has and may continue to implement
13

initiatives focused on efficiencies, affordability and cost growth and other changes to its procurement practices. These initiatives and changes to procurement practices may change the way U.S. Government contracts are solicited, negotiated and managed, which may affect whether and how we pursue opportunities to provide our products and services to the U.S. Government, including the terms and conditions under which we do so, which may have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and cash flows.equity. For example, contracts awarded under the DoD’s Other Transaction Authority for research and prototypes generally require cost-sharing and may not follow, or may follow only in part, standard U.S. Government contracting practices and terms, such as the FAR and Cost Accounting Standards.
Failure to comply with applicable regulations and requirements could lead to fines, penalties, repayments, or compensatory or treble damages, or suspension or debarment from U.S. Government contracting or subcontracting for a period of time. Among the causes for debarment are violations of various laws and regulations, including those related to procurement integrity, export control (including International Traffic in Arms Regulations (“ITAR”)), U.S. Government security, employment practices, protection of the environment, accuracy of records, proper recording of costs and foreign corruption. The termination of a U.S. Government contract or relationship as a result of any of these acts would have an adverse impact on our operations and could have an adverse effect on our standing and eligibility for future U.S. Government contracts.
The U.S. Government’s budget deficit and the national debt, as well as any inability of the U.S. Government to complete its budget process for any government fiscal year and consequently having to shut down or operate on funding levels equivalent to its prior fiscal year pursuant to a “continuing resolution,” could have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and cash flows.equity.
Considerable uncertainty exists regarding how future budget and program decisions will unfold, including the defense spending priorities of the U.S. Government, what challenges budget reductions will present for the defense industry and whether annual appropriations bills for all agencies will be enacted for U.S. Government fiscal 2020.2022 and thereafter. The U.S. Government’s budget deficit and the national debt could have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows and equity in a number of ways, including the following:
•The U.S. Government could reduce or delay its spending on, or reprioritize its spending away from, the government programs in which we participate;
•U.S. Government spending could be impacted by alternate arrangements to sequestration, which increases the uncertainty as to, and the difficulty in predicting, U.S. Government spending priorities and levels; and
•We may experience declines in revenue, profitability and cash flows as a result of reduced or delayed orders or payments or other factors caused by economic difficulties of our customers and prospective customers, including U.S. Federal, state and local governments.
Furthermore, we believe continued budget pressures and additional budget pressures from COVID-related impacts could have serious negative consequences for theU.S. security of the U.S.,and for companies in the defense industrial base and the customers, employees, suppliers, investors and communities that rely on companies in the defense industrial base.them. Budget and program decisions made in this environment would have long-term implications for L3Harrisus and the entirerest of the defense industry.
Our results of operations and cash flows are substantially affected by our mix of fixed-price, cost-plus and time-and-material type contracts. In particular, our fixed-price contracts could subject us to losses in the event of cost overruns or a significant increase in inflation.
We generate revenue through various fixed-price, cost-plus and time-and-material contracts. For a general description of our U.S. Government contracts and subcontracts, including a discussion of revenue generated thereunder and of cost-reimbursable versus fixed-price contracts, see “Item 1. Business - Principal Customers; Government Contracts” of this Report. For a description of our revenue recognition policies, see “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations - Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates - Revenue Recognition” of this Report.
14

In fiscal 2020, 74 percent of our revenue was derived from fixed-price contracts which allow us to benefit from cost savings, but subject us to the risk of potential cost overruns, particularly for firm fixed-price contracts because we assume all of the cost burden. If our initial estimates are incorrect, we can lose money (or make more or less money than estimated) on these contracts. U.S. Government contracts can expose us to potentially large losses because the U.S. Government can hold us responsible for completing a project or, in certain circumstances, paying the entire cost of its replacement by another provider regardless of the size or foreseeability of any cost overruns that occur over the life of the contract. Because many of these contracts involve new technologies and applications and can last for years, unforeseen events, such as technological difficulties, fluctuations in the price of raw materials, a significant increase in inflation, problems with our suppliers and cost overruns, can result in the contractual price becoming less favorable or even unprofitable to us over time. Furthermore, if we do not meet contract deadlines or specifications, we may need to renegotiate contracts on less favorable terms, be forced to pay penalties or liquidated damages or suffer major losses if the customer exercises its right to terminate. In addition, some of our contracts have provisions relating to cost controls and audit rights, and if we fail to meet the terms specified in those contracts, we may not realize their full benefits. Cost overruns would adversely impact our results of operations, which are dependent on our ability to maximize our earnings from our contracts, and the potential risk would be greater if our contracts shifted toward a greater percentage of fixed-price contracts, particularly firm fixed-price contracts.
In fiscal 2020, 26 percent of our revenue was derived from cost-plus and time-and-material contracts, substantially all of which are with U.S. Government customers. Sales to foreign government and commercial customers are generally under fixed-price arrangements and are included in our fixed-price contract sales. For a cost-plus contract, we are paid our allowable incurred costs plus a profit, which can be fixed or variable depending on the contract’s fee arrangement up to predetermined funding levels established by our customers. For a time-and-material contract, we are paid on the basis of direct labor hours expended at specified fixed-price hourly rates (which include wages, overhead, allowable general and administrative expenses and profit) and materials at cost. Therefore, on cost-plus and time-and-material type contracts, we do not bear the risks of unexpected cost overruns, provided that we do not incur costs that exceed the predetermined funded amounts.
Our commercial aviation products, systems and services businesses are affected by global demand and economic factors that could negatively impact our financial results.
The operating results of our commercial aviation products, systems and services businesses may be adversely affected by downturns in the global demand for air travel which impacts new aircraft production and orders, and global flying hours, which impacts air transport, regional and business aircraft utilization rates and pilot training needs. The aviation industry is highly cyclical, and the level of demand for air travel is correlated to the strength of the U.S. and international economies and is impacted by long-term trends in airline passenger and cargo traffic. The results of our commercial aviation businesses also depend on other factors, including general economic growth, political stability in both developed and emerging markets, pricing pressures, trends in capital goods markets and changes in original equipment manufacturer production rates. As described above under “COVID-Related Risks,” our commercial aviation businesses experienced adverse COVID-related impacts in fiscal 2020 and remain at a higher risk of further adverse COVID-related impacts.
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 participate in U.S. and international markets that are subject to uncertain economic conditions. In particular, U.S. Government spending priorities and levels remain uncertain and difficult to predict and are affected by numerous factors, including sequestration and potential alternative funding arrangements and COVID-related impacts. In addition, certain of our non-U.S. customers, including in the Middle East and other oil or natural gas-producing countries, could be adversely affected by weakness or volatility in oil or natural gas prices, or negative expectations about future prices or volatility, which could adversely affect demand for tactical communications, electronic systems or other products, systems, services or technologies. As a result of that uncertainty, it is difficult to develop accurate estimates of the level of growth in the markets we serve. Because those estimates underpin all components of our budgeting and forecasting, our estimates or guidance for future revenue, income and expenditures may be inaccurate, and we may make significant investments and expenditures but never realize the anticipated benefits.
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.
Ongoing instability and current conflicts in global markets, including in the Middle East and Asia, and the potential for other conflicts and future terrorist activities and other recent geo-political events throughout the world, including new or increased tariffs and potential trade wars and the withdrawal of the United Kingdom (the “UK”) from the European Union (the “EU”) in January 2020 (commonly referred to as “Brexit”), have created and may continue to create economic and political uncertainties and impacts that could have a material adverse effect on our business, operations and profitability. Since January 1, 2021, when the Brexit transition period ended, the UK and EU’s trade and cooperation agreement (covering the general objectives and framework of their relationship, including as to trade, transport and certain other matters, but not providing for free movement of people between the UK and EU, free movement of UK goods or automatic access to the entire EU single market for UK service
15

suppliers) has applied provisionally, but it remains subject to EU ratification and revision before formal effectiveness. The effects of Brexit in part depend on application of the terms of the agreement, and thus remain uncertain. We generated 2 percent of our fiscal 2020 revenue in the UK, but we and our suppliers may experience supply chain disruptions, increased tariffs, currency devaluation in the UK or other adverse impacts on operations or profitability. These types of matters cause uncertainty in financial and insurance markets and may significantly increase the political, economic and social instability in the geographic areas in which we operate. If credit in financial markets outside of the U.S. tightened, it could adversely affect the ability of our international customers and suppliers to obtain financing and could result in a decrease in or cancellation of orders for our products, systems and services or impact the ability of our customers to make payments. These matters also may cause us to experience increased costs, such as for insurance coverages and performance bonds (or for them to be unavailable altogether), as well as difficulty with future borrowings under our commercial paper program or credit facilities or in the debt markets or otherwise with financing our operating, investing (including any future acquisitions) or financing activities.
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.
We are dependent on sales to customers outside the U.S. The percentage of our total revenue represented by revenue from products, systems and services where the end consumer is located outside the U.S., including foreign military sales through the U.S. Government, was 20 percent, 21 percent, 22 percent and 23 percent in fiscal 2020, the two quarters ended January 3, 2020, and fiscal 2019 and 2018, respectively. In fiscal 2020, 32 percent of our international business was transacted in local currency. Losses resulting from currency rate fluctuations can adversely affect our results. We expect that international revenue will continue to account for a significant portion of our total revenue. Also, a significant portion of our international revenue is from, and a significant portion of our business activity is being conducted with or in, less-developed countries and sometimes countries with unstable governments, or in areas of military conflict or at military installations. Other risks of doing business internationally include:
•Currency exchange controls, fluctuations of currency and currency revaluations;
•Laws, regulations and policies of foreign governments relating to investments and operations, as well as U.S. laws affecting activities of U.S. companies abroad, including the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”);
•Import and export licensing requirements and regulations, including ITAR, as well as unforeseen changes in export controls and other trade regulations;
•Changes in regulatory requirements, including business or operating license requirements, imposition of tariffs or embargoes;
•Uncertainties and restrictions concerning the availability of funding, credit or guarantees;
•Risk of non-payment or delayed payment by non-U.S. customers;
•Contractual obligations to non-U.S. customers may include specific in-country purchases, investments, manufacturing agreements or financial or other support arrangements or obligations, known as offset obligations, that may extend for many years, require teaming with local companies and result in significant penalties if not satisfied;
•Complexities and necessities of using, and disruptions involving, international dealers, distributors, sales representatives and consultants;
•Difficulties of managing a geographically dispersed organization and culturally diverse workforces, including compliance with local laws and practices;
•Difficulties with repatriating cash generated or held abroad in a tax-efficient manner and changes in tax laws;
•Uncertainties as to local laws and enforcement of contract and intellectual property rights and occasional requirements for onerous contract terms;
•Rapid changes in government, economic and political policies, political or civil unrest, acts of terrorism or threats of international boycotts or U.S. anti-boycott legislation; and
•Increased risk of an incident resulting in damage or destruction to our facilities or products or resulting in injury or loss of life to our employees, subcontractors or other third parties.
We are subject to government investigations, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and equity.
U.S. Government contractors are subject to extensive legal and regulatory requirements, including ITAR and FCPA, and from time to time agencies of the U.S. Government investigate whether we have been and are operating in accordance with these requirements. We may cooperate with the U.S. Government in those investigations. Under U.S. Government regulations, an indictment of L3Harris by a federal grand jury, or an administrative finding against us as to our present responsibility to be a U.S. Government contractor or subcontractor, could result in us being suspended for a period of time from eligibility for awards of new government contracts or task orders or in a loss of export privileges, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and equity. A conviction, or an administrative finding against us that satisfies
16

the requisite level of seriousness, could result in debarment from contracting with the U.S. Government for a specific term, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and equity.
Business and Operational Risks
We could be negatively impacted by a security breach, through cyber attack, cyber intrusion, insider threats or otherwise, or other significant disruption of our IT networks and related systems or of those we operate for certain of our customers.
We face the risk as does any company, of a security breach, whether through cyber attack, cyber intrusion or insider

threat via the Internet, malware, computer viruses, attachments to e-mails, persons inside our organization or with access to systems inside our organization, threats to the physical security of our facilities and employees or other significant disruption of our IT networks and related systems or those of our suppliers or subcontractors. We face an added risk of a security breach or other significant disruption of the IT networks and related systems that we develop, install, operate and maintain for certain of our customers, which may involve managing and protecting information relating to national security and other sensitive government functions or personally identifiable or protected health information. The risk of a security breach or disruption, particularly through cyber attack or cyber intrusion, including by computer hackers, foreign governments and cyber terrorists, is persistent and substantial as the volume, intensity and sophistication of attempted attacks, intrusions and threats from around the world remain elevated and unlikely to diminish. As an advanced technology-based solutions provider, and particularly as a government contractor with access to national security or other sensitive government information, we face a heightened risk of a security breach or disruption from threats to gain unauthorized access to our and our customers’ proprietary or classified information on our IT networks and related systems and to the IT networks and related systems that we operate and maintain for certain of our customers. These types of information and IT networks and related systems are critical to the operation of our business and essential to our ability to perform day-to-day operations, and, in some cases, are critical to the operations of certain of our customers. We make significant efforts to maintain the security and integrity of these types of information and IT networks and related systems and have implemented various measures to manage the risk of a security breach or disruption. Our efforts and measures have not been entirely effective in the case of every cyber security incident, but no incident has had a material negative impact on us to date. Even the most well protected information, networks, systems and facilities remain potentially vulnerable because attempted security breaches, particularly cyber attacks and cyber intrusions, or disruptions will occur in the future, and because the techniques used in such attempts are constantly evolving and generally are not recognized until launched against a target, and in some cases are designed not to be detected and, in fact, may not be detected.detected (for example, the SolarWinds cyber incident). In some cases, the resources of foreign governments may be behind such attacks due to the nature of our business and the industries in which we operate. Accordingly, we may be unable to anticipate these techniques or to implement adequate security barriers or other preventative measures. Thus, it is impossible for us to entirely mitigate this risk, and there can be no assurance that future cyber security incidents will not have a material negative impact on us. A security breach or other significant disruption involving these types of information and IT networks and related systems could:
•Disrupt the proper functioning of these networks and systems and, therefore, our operations and/or those of certain of our customers;
•Result in the unauthorized access to, and destruction, loss, theft, misappropriation or release of, proprietary, confidential, sensitive or otherwise valuable information of ours, our customers or our employees, including trade secrets, which could be used to compete against us or for disruptive, destructive or otherwise harmful purposes and outcomes;
•Compromise national security and other sensitive government functions;
•Require significant management attention and resources to remedy the damages that result;
•Result in costs which exceed our insurance coverage and/or indemnification arrangements;
•Subject us to claims for contract breach, damages, credits, penalties or termination; and
•Damage our reputation with our customers (particularly agencies of the U.S. Government) and the general public.    
We must also rely on the safeguards put in place by customers, suppliers, vendors, subcontractors or other third parties to minimize the impact of cyber threats, other security threats or business disruptions. These third parties may have varying levels of cybersecurity expertise and safeguards, and their relationships with government contractors, such as L3Harris,us, may increase thetheir likelihood that they areof being targeted by the same cyber threats we face. In the event of a breach affecting these third parties, our business and financial results could suffer materially. With respect to ourOur commercial arrangements with these third parties we haveinclude processes designed to require that the third parties and their employees and agents agree to maintain certain standards for the storage, protection and transfer of confidential, personal and proprietary information. However, we remain at risk of a data breach due to the intentional or unintentional non-compliance by a third party’s employee or agent, the breakdown of a third party’s data protection processes, which may not be as sophisticated as ours, or a cyber attackcyber-attack on a third party’s information network and systems.
17

Any or all of the foregoing could have a negative impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and cash flows.equity.
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.
Our businesses are characterized by rapidly changing technologies and evolving industry standards. Accordingly, our performance depends on a number of factors, including our ability to:
•Identify market needs and growth opportunities;
•Identify emerging technological trends in our current and target markets;
•Identify additional uses for our existing technology to address customer needs;
•Develop and maintain competitive products, systems, services and technologies;
•Enhance our offerings by adding innovative hardware, software or other features that differentiate our products, systems, services and technologies from those of our competitors; 
•Develop, manufacture and bring to market cost-effective offerings quickly;
•Enhance product designs for export and releasability to international markets; and
•Effectively structure our businesses to reflect the competitive environment, including through the use of joint ventures, collaborative agreements and other forms of alliances.
To remain competitive, we need to continue to design, develop, manufacture, assemble, test, market and support new products, systems, services and technologies, which will require the investment of significant financial resources. In the past, we have allocated substantial funds for such investments through customer funded and internal research and development, acquisitions or other teaming arrangements. This practice will continue to be required, but we may not be able to successfully manage ongoing businessidentify new opportunities and organizational changesmay not have the necessary financial resources to develop new products, systems, services and technologies in a timely or cost-effective manner. Furthermore, the need to make these expenditures could divert our attention and resources from other projects, and we cannot be sure that these expenditures ultimately will lead to the timely development of new products, systems, services or technologies. Due to the design complexity of some of our products, systems, services and technologies, we may experience delays in completing development and introducing new products, systems, services or technologies in the future. Any delays could result in increased costs of development or divert resources from other projects. In addition, the markets for our products, systems, services or technologies may not develop as we currently anticipate, we may not be as successful in newly identified markets as we currently anticipate, and acquisitions, joint ventures or other teaming arrangements we may enter into to pursue developing new products, systems, services or technologies may not be successful. Failure of our products, systems, services or technologies to gain market acceptance could significantly reduce our revenue and harm our business. Furthermore, competitors may develop competing products, systems, services or technologies that gain market acceptance in advance of our products, systems, services or technologies, or competitors may develop new products, systems, services or technologies that cause our existing products, systems, services or technologies to become non-competitive or obsolete, which could adversely affect our results of operations. The future direction of the domestic and global economies, including its impact on customer demand, also will have a significant impact on our overall performance.
We must attract and retain key employees, and any failure to do so could seriously harm us.
Our future success depends to a significant degree upon the continued contributions of our management and our ability to attract and retain highly qualified management and technical personnel, including employees who have U.S. Government security clearances, particularly clearances of top-secret and above. To the extent that the demand for qualified personnel exceeds supply, as has been the case from time to time in recent years, we could experience higher labor, recruiting or training costs in order to attract and retain such employees, or could experience difficulties in performing under our contracts if our needs for such employees were unmet. Failure to attract and retain such personnel would damage our future prospects.
Some of our workforce is represented by labor unions, so a prolonged work stoppage could harm our business.
At January 1, 2021, approximately 3,100 of our U.S. employees, or approximately 7 percent of our employee base, were unionized. If we encounter difficulties with renegotiation or renewals of collective bargaining arrangements or are unsuccessful in those efforts, we could incur additional costs and experience work stoppages. Union actions at suppliers can also affect us. We cannot predict how stable our union relationships will be or whether we will be able to successfully negotiate successor collective bargaining agreements without impacting our financial condition. In addition, the presence of unions may limit our flexibility in dealing with our workforce. Work stoppages could negatively impact our ability to manufacture products or provide services on a timely basis, which could negatively impact our business, results.financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and equity.
Disputes with our subcontractors or key suppliers, or their inability to perform or timely deliver our components, parts or services, could cause our products, systems or services to be produced or delivered in an untimely or unsatisfactory manner.
We engage subcontractors on many of our contracts and from time to time may have disputes with them, including regarding the quality and timeliness of work performed by them, customer concerns about the subcontract or subcontractor, our
18

failure to extend existing task orders or issue new task orders under a subcontract, our hiring of the personnel of a subcontractor or vice versa or the subcontractor’s failure to comply with applicable law. In addition, there are certain parts, components and services for many of our products, systems and services that we source from other manufacturers or vendors. Some of our suppliers, from time to time, experience financial and operational difficulties, which may impact their ability to supply the materials, components, subsystems and services that we require. Tariffs recently imposed on certain materials and other trade issues may create or exacerbate existing materials shortages and may result in further supplier business closures. Our supply chain could also be disrupted by external events, such as natural disasters or other significant disruptions (including COVID-related impacts as described above under “COVID-Related Risks,” extreme weather conditions, epidemics, acts of terrorism, cyber attacks and labor disputes), governmental actions and legislative or regulatory changes, including product certification or stewardship requirements, sourcing restrictions, product authenticity and climate change or greenhouse gas emission standards, or availability constraints from increased demand from customers. These or any further political or governmental developments or health concerns in countries in which we operate could result in social, economic and labor instability. Any inability to develop alternative sources of supply on a cost-effective and timely basis could materially impair our ability to manufacture and deliver products, systems and services to our customers. We may experience disputes with our subcontractors; material supply constraints or problems; or component, subsystems or services problems in the future. Also, our subcontractors and other suppliers may not be able to acquire or maintain the quality of the materials, components, subsystems and services they supply, which might result in greater product returns, service problems and warranty claims and could harm our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and equity. In addition, in connection with our government contracts, we are required to procure certain materials, components and parts, including certain microelectronics components, from supply sources approved by the U.S. Government and we rely on our subcontractors and suppliers to comply with applicable laws, regulations and other requirements regarding procurement of counterfeit, unauthorized or otherwise non-compliant parts or materials, including parts or materials they supply to us, and in some circumstances, we rely on their certifications as to their compliance. From time to time, there are components for which there may be only one supplier, which may be unable to meet our needs. Each of these subcontractor and supplier risks could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and equity.
We have recently undergone several significant businessoperations in locations that could be materially and organizational changes, including the L3Harris Merger. In addition, competition to retain or recruit talent can be heightened during a time when we are experiencing significant changes. Effectively managing these business and organizational changes is critical to retaining talent, servicing customers and our business success overall. The failure to effectively manage such changes could adversely impact our business or financial results.

Our results of operations and cash flows are substantially affected by our mix of fixed-price, cost-plus and time-and-material type contracts. In particular, our fixed-price contracts could subject us to lossesimpacted in the event of cost overrunsa natural disaster or aother significant increasedisruption.
Our corporate headquarters and significant business operations are located in inflation.
We generate revenue through various fixed-price, cost-plus and time-and-material contracts. For a general description of our U.S. Government contracts and subcontracts, including a discussion of revenue generated thereunder and of cost-reimbursable versus fixed-price contracts, see “Item 1. Business - Principal Customers; Government Contracts” of this Report. For a description of our revenue recognition policies, see “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations - Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates - Revenue Recognition” of this Report.
In fiscal 2019, approximately 73 percent of Harris’ revenue was derived from fixed-price contractsFlorida, which allow us to benefit from cost savings, butis subject us to the risk of potential cost overruns, particularly for firm fixed-price contracts because we assume allmajor hurricanes. Our worldwide operations and operations of the cost burden. If our initial estimates are incorrect, we can lose money on these contracts. U.S. Government contracts can expose us to potentially large losses because the U.S. Government can hold us responsible for completing a project or, in certain circumstances, paying the entire cost of its replacement by another provider regardless of the size or foreseeability of any cost overruns that occur over the life of the contract. Because many of these contracts involve new technologies and applications and can last for years, unforeseen events, such as technological difficulties, fluctuations in the price of raw materials, a significant increase in inflation in the U.S. or other countries, problems with our suppliers and cost overruns, can result incustomers could be subject to natural disasters or other significant disruptions, including hurricanes, typhoons, tsunamis, floods, earthquakes, fires, water shortages, other extreme weather conditions, epidemics, pandemics, COVID-related impacts as described above under “COVID-Related Risks,” acts of terrorism, power shortages and blackouts, telecommunications failures, cyber attacks and other natural and manmade disasters or disruptions. In the contractual price becoming less favorableevent of such a natural disaster or even unprofitableother disruption, we could experience disruptions or interruptions to us over time. Furthermore, if we do not meet contract deadlinesour operations or specifications, we may need to renegotiate contracts on less favorable terms, be forced to pay penalties or liquidated damages or suffer major losses if the customer exercises its right to terminate. In addition, someoperations of our contractssuppliers, subcontractors, distributors, resellers or customers, including inability of employees to work; destruction of facilities; and/or loss of life, all of which could materially increase our costs and expenses, delay or decrease orders and revenue from our customers and have provisions relating to cost controlsa material adverse effect on the continuity of our business and audit rights, and if we fail to meet the terms specified in those contracts, we may not realize their full benefits. Ourour business, financial condition, results of operations, are dependent on our ability to maximize our earnings from our contracts. Cost overruns could have an adverse impact on our financial results. The potential impact of such risk on our financial results would increase if the mix of our contractscash flows and programs shifted toward a greater percentage of fixed-price contracts, particularly firm fixed-price contracts.equity.
In fiscal 2019, approximately 27 percent of Harris’ revenue was derived from cost-plus and time-and-material contracts. Substantially all of our cost-plus contracts and time-and-material contracts are with U.S. Government customers, while sales to foreign government and commercial customers are generally transacted under fixed-price sales arrangements and are includedFinancial Risks
Changes in our fixed-price contract sales. For a cost-plus contract,estimates we are paid our allowable incurred costs plus a profit, which can be fixed or variable depending on the contract’s fee arrangement up to predetermined funding levels established by our customers. On a time-and-material contract, we are paid on the basis of direct labor hours expended at specified fixed-price hourly rates (which include wages, overhead, allowable general and administrative expenses and profit) and materials at cost. Therefore, on cost-plus and time-and-material type contracts, we do not bear the risks of unexpected cost overruns, provided that we do not incur costs that exceed the predetermined funded amounts.
We use estimates in accounting for many of our programs and changes in our estimates could adversely affect our future financial results.
Accounting for our contracts requires judgment relative to assessing risks, including risks associated with customer directedcustomer-directed delays and reductions in scheduled deliveries, unfavorable resolutions of claims and contractual matters, judgmentsand judgment associated with estimating contract revenue and costs and assumptions for schedule and technical issues. Due to the size and nature of many of our contracts, the estimation of total revenue and cost at completion is complicated and subject to many variables. For example, we must make assumptions regarding: (i) the length of time to complete the contract because costs also include expected increases in wages and prices for materials; (ii) whether contracts should be accounted for as having one or more performance obligations based on the goods and services promised to the customer; (iii) incentives or penalties related to performance on contracts in estimating revenue and profit rates, and recording them when there is sufficient information for us to assess anticipated performance; and (iv) estimates of award fees in estimating revenue and profit rates based on actual and anticipated awards. Because of the significance of the judgments and estimation processes involved in accounting for our contracts, materially different amounts could be recorded if we used different assumptions or if the underlying circumstances were to change. Changes in underlying assumptions, circumstances or estimates may adversely affect our future results of operations and financial condition. For additional information regarding our critical accounting policies and estimates applicable to our accounting for our contracts, see “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations - Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” of this Report.

Our level of indebtedness and our ability to make payments on or service our indebtedness and our unfunded defined benefit plans liability may materially adversely affect our financial and operating activities or our ability to incur additional debt.
At January 1, 2021, we had $6.8 billion in aggregate principal amount of outstanding debt and $1.9 billion of unfunded defined benefit plans liability. These amounts may increase; however, our ability to increase our borrowings is subject to limitations imposed on us by our debt agreements. Our ability to make payments on and to refinance our current or future indebtedness, and our ability to make contributions to our unfunded defined benefit plans liability, will depend on our ability to generate cash from operations, financings or asset sales, which may be subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors that are beyond our control. If we are not able to repay or refinance our debt as it becomes due or make contributions to our unfunded defined benefit plans liability, we may be forced to sell assets or take other disadvantageous actions, including reducing financing for working capital, capital expenditures and general corporate purposes; reducing our cash dividend rate and/or share repurchases; or dedicating an unsustainable level of our revenuecash flow from international operations to the payment of principal and interest on our indebtedness. In addition, our ability to withstand competitive pressures and to react to changes in the defense technology industry could be impaired. The lenders who hold such debt could also accelerate amounts due, which could potentially trigger a default or acceleration of any of our other debt.
Additionally, certain of our financial obligations and instruments, including our 2019 Credit Facility (defined below) and Floating Rate Notes due March 10, 2023, as well as financial instruments that we hold or use or may hold or use, such as interest rate swaps, are or may be made at variable interest rates that use the London interbank offered rate (“LIBOR”) (or metrics derived from or related to LIBOR) as a benchmark for establishing the applicable interest rate. The potential consequences from discontinuation, modification or reform of LIBOR, implementation of alternative reference rates and any interest rate transition process cannot be fully predicted and may have an adverse impact on values of LIBOR-linked securities and other financial obligations or extensions of credit and may involve, among other things, increased volatility or illiquidity in markets for instruments that rely on LIBOR, reductions in effectiveness of related transactions such as hedges, increased borrowing costs, uncertainty under applicable documentation, or difficult and costly consent processes. This could materially and adversely affect our results of operations, cash flows and liquidity. See Note 13: Credit Arrangements in the Notes for additional information regarding our 2019 Credit Facility and Note 14: Debt in the Notes for additional information regarding our Floating Rate Notes due March 10, 2023.
A downgrade in our credit ratings could materially adversely affect our business.
The credit ratings assigned to our debt securities could change based on, among other things, our results of operations, financial condition, mergers, acquisitions or dispositions. These ratings are subject to ongoing evaluation by credit rating agencies and may be changed or withdrawn by rating agencies in the risks of doing business internationally, including fluctuations in currency exchange rates.

Moreover, these credit ratings are dependent on salesnot recommendations to customers outside the U.S. The percentagebuy, sell or hold any of our total revenue represented by revenue from products, systemsdebt securities. Actual or anticipated changes or downgrades in our credit ratings, including any announcement that our ratings are under review for a downgrade or have been assigned a negative outlook, would likely increase our borrowing costs and services whereaffect our ability to incur new indebtedness or refinance our existing indebtedness, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, equity and the end consumer is located outside the U.S., including foreign military sales through the U.S. Government, in fiscal 2019, 2018 and 2017 was 22 percent, 23 percent and 25 percent, respectively. Approximately 18 percentmarket value of our international business in fiscal 2019 was transacted in local currency. Losses resulting from currency rate

fluctuations can adversely affect our results. We expect that international revenue will continue to account for a significant portion of our total revenue. Also, a significant portion of our international revenue is from,common stock and a significant portion of our business activity is being conducted with or in, less-developed countries and sometimes countries with unstable governments, or in areas of military conflict or at military installations. Other risks of doing business internationally include:
Currency exchange controls, fluctuations of currency and currency revaluations;
The laws, regulations and policies of foreign governments relating to investments and operations, as well as U.S. laws affecting the activities of U.S. companies abroad, including the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”);
Import and export licensing requirements and regulations, including ITAR, as well as unforeseen changes in export controls and other trade regulations;
Changes in regulatory requirements, including business or operating license requirements, imposition of tariffs or embargoes;
Uncertainties and restrictions concerning the availability of funding, credit or guarantees;
Risk of non-payment or delayed payment by foreign governments;
Contractual obligations to non-U.S. customers may include specific in-country purchases, investments, manufacturing agreements or financial or other support arrangements or obligations, known as offset obligations, that may extend over several years, may require teaming with local companies and may result in significant penalties if not satisfied;
The complexity and necessity of using, and disruptions involving our, international dealers, distributors, sales representatives and consultants;
The difficulties of managing a geographically dispersed organization and culturally diverse workforces, including compliance with local laws and practices;
Difficulties associated with repatriating cash generated or held abroad in a tax-efficient manner and changes in tax laws;
Uncertainties as to local laws and enforcement of contract and intellectual property rights and occasional requirements for onerous contract terms;
Rapid changes in government, economic and political policies, political or civil unrest, acts of terrorism or the threat of international boycotts or U.S. anti-boycott legislation; and
Increased risk of an incident resulting in damage or destruction to our facilities or products or resulting in injury or loss of life to our employees, subcontractors or other third parties.outstanding debt securities.
The level of returns on defined benefit plan assets, changes in interest rates and other factors could materially adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows and equity in future periods.
A substantial portion of our current and retired employee population is covered by defined benefit pension and other postretirement defined benefit plans (collectively, “defined benefit plans”). We may experience significant fluctuations in costs related to defined benefit plans as a result of macro-economic factors, such as interest rates, that are beyond our control. The cost of our defined benefit plans is incurred over long periods of time and involves various factors and uncertainties during those periods that can be volatile and unpredictable, including the rates of return on defined benefit plan assets, discount rates used to calculate liabilities and expenses, mortality of plan participants and trends for future medical costs. We develop our assumptions using relevant plan experience and expectations in conjunction with market-related data. These assumptions and other actuarial assumptions may change significantly due to changes in economic, legislative, and/or demographic experience or circumstances. Our financial condition and results of operations could be materially affected by significantSignificant changes in key economic indicators, financial market volatility, future legislation and other governmental regulatory actions.actions could materially affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and equity.
We will make contributions to fund our defined benefit plans when considered necessary or advantageous to do so. The macro-economic factors discussed above, including the rates of return on defined benefit plan assets and the minimum funding requirements established by government funding or taxing authorities, or established by other agreement, may influence future funding requirements. A significant decline in the fair value of our plan assets, or other adverse changes to our overall defined benefit plans, could require us to make significant funding contributions and affect cash flows in future periods.
U.S. Government Cost Accounting Standards (“CAS”) govern the extent to which postretirement costs and plan contributions are allocable to and recoverable under contracts with the U.S. Government. As a result, weWe expect to continue to seek reimbursement from the U.S. Government for a portion of our postretirement costs and plan contributions; however, pension plan cost recoveries under our U.S. Government contracts may occur in different periods from when those pension costs are
20

recognized for financial statement purposes or when pension funding is made. CAS rules have been revised to partially harmonize the measurement and period of assignment of pension plan costs allocable to U.S. Government contracts and minimum required contributions under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended by the Pension Protection Act of 2006. However, there is still a lag between the time when we contribute cash to our plans under pension funding rules and when we recover pension costs under CAS rules. These timing differences could have a material adverse effect on our cash flows.

Changes in our effective tax rate may have an adverse effect on our results of operations.
Our future effective tax rate may be adversely affected by a number of factors including:
•Changes in domestic or international tax laws or the U.S. Government’s Cost Accounting Standards Board published a final rule that harmonizes CAS pension cost reimbursement rulesinterpretation of such tax laws;
•The jurisdictions in which profits are determined to be earned and taxed;
•Adjustments to estimated taxes upon finalization of various tax returns;
•Increases in expenses not fully deductible for tax purposes, including write-offs of acquired in-process R&D and impairment of goodwill or other long-term assets in connection with mergers or acquisitions;
•Changes in available tax credits;
•Changes in share-based compensation expense;
•Changes in the Pension Protectionvaluation of our deferred tax assets and liabilities; and
•The resolution of issues arising from tax audits with various tax authorities.
For example, provisions in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2006 (“PPA”) funding requirements. The rule is expected to eventually mitigate the mismatch between CAS costs2017 require that, beginning in 2022, R&D expenditures be capitalized and PPA-amended Employee Retirement Income Security Act

The final rule included a five-year phase in. We anticipate that government contractors will be entitled to an equitable adjustmentprovisions are not modified or repealed before then.
Any significant increase in our future effective tax rates could adversely impact our results of operations for any additional CAS contract costs resulting from the final rule, although we can give no assurances in this regard.future periods.
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.
We must first obtain export and other licenses and authorizations from various U.S. Government agencies before we are permitted to sell certain products and technologies outside of the U.S. For example, the U.S. Department of State must notify Congress at least 15 to 60 days, depending on the size and location of the proposed sale, prior to authorizing certain sales of defense equipment and services to foreign governments. During that time, Congress may take action to block the proposed sale. We can give no assurance that we will continue tomay be successfulunsuccessful in obtaining the necessary licenses or authorizations or that Congress will notmay prevent or delay certain sales. Our ability to obtain thesenecessary licenses and authorizations timely or at all is subject to risks and uncertainties, including changing U.S. Government policies or laws or delays in Congressional action due to geopolitical and other factors. If we are not successful in obtaining or maintaining the necessary licenses or authorizations in a timely manner, our sales relating to those approvals may be reversed, prevented or delayed, and any significant impairment of our ability to sell products or technologies outside of the U.S. could negatively impact our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and cash flows.
Disputes with our subcontractors or the inability of our subcontractors to perform, or our key suppliers to timely deliver our components, parts or services, could cause our products, systems or services to be produced or delivered in an untimely or unsatisfactory manner.
We engage subcontractors on many of our contracts. We may have disputes with our subcontractors, including regarding the quality and timeliness of work performed by the subcontractor, customer concerns about the subcontract or subcontractor, our failure to extend existing task orders or issue new task orders under a subcontract, our hiring of the personnel of a subcontractor or vice versa or the subcontractor’s failure to comply with applicable law. In addition, there are certain parts, components and services for many of our products, systems and services that we source from other manufacturers or vendors. Some of our suppliers, from time to time, experience financial and operational difficulties, which may impact their ability to supply the materials, components, subsystems and services that we require. Tariffs recently imposed on certain materials and other trade issues may create or exacerbate existing materials shortages and may result in further supplier business closures. Our supply chain could also be disrupted by external events, such as natural disasters or other significant disruptions (including extreme weather conditions, medical epidemics, acts of terrorism, cyber attacks and labor disputes), governmental actions and legislative or regulatory changes, including product certification or stewardship requirements, sourcing restrictions, product authenticity and climate change or greenhouse gas emission standards, or availability constraints from increased demand from customers. Any inability to develop alternative sources of supply on a cost-effective and timely basis could materially impair our ability to manufacture and deliver products, systems and services to our customers. We can give no assurances that we will be free from disputes with our subcontractors; material supply constraints or problems; or component, subsystems or services problems in the future. Also, our subcontractors and other suppliers may not be able to acquire or maintain the quality of the materials, components, subsystems and services they supply, which might result in greater product returns, service problems and warranty claims and could harm our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. In addition, in connection with our government contracts, we are required to procure certain materials, components and parts from supply sources approved by the U.S. Government and we rely on our subcontractors and suppliers to comply with applicable laws, regulations and other requirements regarding procurement of counterfeit, unauthorized or otherwise non-compliant parts or materials, including parts or materials they supply to us, and in some circumstances, we rely on their certifications as to their compliance. From time to time, there are components for which there may be only one supplier, which may be unable to meet our needs. Each of these subcontractor and supplier risks could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.equity.
Our reputation and ability to do business may be impacted by the improper conduct of our employees, agents or business partners.
We have implemented compliance controls, training, policies and procedures designed to prevent and detect reckless or criminal acts from being committed by our employees, agents or business partners that would violate the laws of the jurisdictions in which we operate, including laws governing payments to government officials, such as the FCPA, the protection of export controlled or classified information, such as ITAR, false claims, procurement integrity, cost accounting and billing, competition, information security and data privacy and the terms of our contracts. This risk of improper conduct may increase as we continue to grow and expand our operations. We cannot ensure, however, that our controls, training, policies and procedures will prevent or detect all such reckless or criminal acts, and we have been adversely impacted by such acts in the past. If not prevented, such reckless or criminal acts could subject us to civil or criminal investigations, monetary and non-monetary penalties and suspension and debarment by the U.S. Government and could have a material adverse effect on our

ability to conduct business, our results of operations and our reputation. In addition, misconduct involving data security lapses resulting in the compromise of personal information or the improper use of our customer’s sensitive or classified information could result in remediation costs, regulatory sanctions against us and serious harm to our reputation and could adversely impact our ability to continue to contract with the U.S. Government.
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.
Our businesses are characterized by rapidly changing technologies and evolving industry standards. Accordingly, our performance depends on a number of factors, including our ability to:
Identify market needs and growth opportunities;
Identify emerging technological trends in our current and target markets;
Identify additional uses for our existing technology to address customer needs;
Develop and maintain competitive products, systems, services and technologies;
Enhance our offerings by adding innovative hardware, software or other features that differentiate our products, systems, services and technologies from those of our competitors; 
Develop, manufacture and bring to market cost-effective offerings quickly;
Enhance product designs for export and releasability to international markets; and
Effectively structure our businesses to reflect the competitive environment, including through the use of joint ventures, collaborative agreements and other forms of alliances.
We believe that, in order to remain competitive in the future, we will need to continue to design, develop, manufacture, assemble, test, market and support new products, systems, services and technologies, which will require the investment of significant financial resources. In the past, we have allocated substantial funds for such investments through customer funded and internal research and development, acquisitions or other teaming arrangements. This practice will continue to be required in the future, but we may not be able to successfully identify new opportunities and may not have the necessary financial resources to develop new products. systems, services and technologies in a timely or cost-effective manner. Furthermore, the need to make these expenditures could divert our attention and resources from other projects, and we cannot be sure that these expenditures ultimately will lead to the timely development of new products, systems, services or technologies. Due to the design complexity of some of our products, systems, services and technologies, we may experience delays in completing development and introducing new products, systems, services or technologies in the future. Any delays could result in increased costs of development or redirect resources from other projects. In addition, we cannot provide assurances that the markets for our products, systems, services or technologies will develop as we currently anticipate, that we will be successful in newly identified markets as we currently anticipate, or that acquisitions, joint ventures or other teaming arrangements we may enter into to pursue developing new products, systems, services or technologies will be successful. The failure of our products, systems, services or technologies to gain market acceptance could significantly reduce our revenue and harm our business. Furthermore, we cannot be sure that our competitors will not develop competing products, systems, services or technologies that gain market acceptance in advance of our products, systems, services or technologies, or that our competitors will not develop new products, systems, services or technologies that cause our existing products, systems, services or technologies to become non-competitive or obsolete, which could adversely affect our results of operations. The future direction of the domestic and global economies, including its impact on customer demand, also will have a significant impact on our overall performance.
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 participate in U.S. and international markets that are subject to uncertain economic conditions. In particular, U.S. Government spending priorities and levels remain uncertain and difficult to predict and are affected by numerous factors, including sequestration and potential alternative funding arrangements. In addition, certain of our non-U.S. customers, including in the Middle East and other oil or natural gas-producing countries, could be adversely affected by weakness or volatility in oil or natural gas prices, or negative expectations about future prices or volatility, which could adversely affect demand for tactical communications, electronic systems or other products, systems, services or technologies. As a result, it is difficult to estimate the level of growth in the markets in which we participate. Because all components of our budgeting and forecasting are dependent on estimates of growth in the markets we serve, the uncertainty renders estimates of or guidance relating to future revenue, income and expenditures even more difficult. As a result, we may make significant investments and expenditures but never realize the anticipated benefits.
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.
Ongoing instability and current conflicts in global markets, including in the Middle East and Asia, and the potential for other conflicts and future terrorist activities and other recent geo-political events throughout the world, including new or

increased tariffs and potential trade wars and the pending voluntary exit of the United Kingdom from the European Union (commonly referred to as “Brexit”), have created economic and political uncertainties and impacts that could have a material adverse effect on our business, operations and profitability. These matters cause uncertainty in the world’s financial and insurance markets and may significantly increase the political, economic and social instability in the geographic areas in which we operate. If credit in financial markets outside of the U.S. tightened, it could adversely affect the ability of our customers and suppliers to obtain financing and could result in a decrease in or cancellation of orders for our products, systems and services or impact the ability of our customers to make payments. These matters may cause us to incur increased costs or experience difficulty with future borrowings under our commercial paper program or credit facilities or in the debt markets, or otherwise with financing our operating, investing (including any future acquisitions) or financing activities. These matters also may cause our insurance coverages and performance bonds to increase in cost, or in some cases, to be unavailable altogether.
We continue to monitor Brexit and its potential impact on our results of operations and financial condition. Volatility in foreign currencies is expected to occur as the United Kingdom exits from the European Union. If the United Kingdom's membership in the European Union terminates without an agreement, there could be increased costs from re-imposition of tariffs on trade between the United Kingdom and European Union, shipping delays because of the need for customs inspections and procedures and shortages of certain goods. The United Kingdom will also need to negotiate its own tax and trade treaties with countries all over the world, which could take years to complete. This potential scenario is usually referred to as a “hard Brexit.” In the case of a hard Brexit, our exposure to disruptions to our supply chain, the imposition of tariffs and currency devaluation in the United Kingdom could have an adverse impact on our consolidated revenue, earnings and cash flow. Harris generated 1 percent of its fiscal 2019 net revenues in the United Kingdom, and L3 generated 6 percent of its calendar year 2018 net revenues in the United Kingdom.
Strategic transactions, including mergers, acquisitions and divestitures, involve significant risks and uncertainties that could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Strategic mergers, acquisitions and divestitures we have made in the past and may make in the future present significant risks and uncertainties that could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, which include:
Difficulty in identifying and evaluating potential mergers and acquisitions, including the risk that our due diligence does not identify or fully assess valuation issues, potential liabilities or other merger or acquisition risks;
Difficulty and expense in integrating newly merged or acquired businesses and operations, including combining product and service offerings, and in entering into new markets in which we are not experienced, in an efficient and cost-effective manner while maintaining adequate standards, controls and procedures, and the risk that we encounter significant unanticipated costs or other problems associated with integration;
Difficulty and expense in consolidating and rationalizing IT infrastructure, which may include multiple legacy systems from various mergers and acquisitions and integrating software code;
Challenges in achieving strategic objectives, cost savings and other benefits expected from mergers and acquisitions;
Risk that our markets do not evolve as anticipated and that the strategic mergers, acquisitions and divestitures do not prove to be those needed to be successful in those markets;
Risk that we assume or retain, or that companies we have merged with or acquired have assumed or retained or otherwise become subject to, significant liabilities that exceed the limitations of any applicable indemnification provisions or the financial resources of any indemnifying parties;
Risk that indemnification related to businesses divested or spun off that we may be required to provide or otherwise bear may be significant and could negatively impact our business;
Risk that mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, spin offs and other strategic transactions, including the L3Harris Merger, fail to qualify for the intended tax treatment for U.S. Federal income tax purposes, such as a tax-free reorganization in the case of the L3Harris Merger;
Risk that we are not able to complete strategic divestitures on satisfactory terms and conditions, including non-competition arrangements applicable to certain of our business lines, or within expected timeframes; 
Potential loss of key employees or customers of the businesses merged with or acquired or to be divested; and
Risk of diverting the attention of senior management from our existing operations.
The outcome of litigation or arbitration in which we are involved from time to time is unpredictable, and an adverse decision in any such matter could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and cash flows.equity.
The size, nature and complexity of our business make us susceptible to investigations, claims, disputes, enforcement actions, litigation and other legal proceedings, particularly those involving governments. From time to time, we are defendants in a number of litigation matters and are involved in a number of arbitration matters. These actions may divert financial and
21

management resources that would otherwise be used to benefit our operations. No assurances can be given that theThe results of

these or new matters willmay be favorableunfavorable to us. Although we maintain insurance policies, these policiesthey may not be adequate to protect us from all material judgments and expenses related to current or future claims and may not cover the conduct that is the subject of the litigation or arbitration. Desired levels of insurance may not be available in the future at economical prices or at all. In addition, we believe that while we have valid defenses with respect to legal matters pending against us, the results of litigation or arbitration can be difficult to predict, including litigation involving jury trials. Accordingly, our current judgment as to the likelihood of our loss (or our current estimate as to the potential range of loss, if applicable) with respect to any particular litigation or arbitration matter may be wrong. A significant judgment or arbitration award against us arising out of any of our current or future litigation or arbitration matters could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and future prospects.
We are subject to government investigations, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and future prospects.
U.S. Government contractors are subject to extensive legal and regulatory requirements, including ITAR and FCPA, and from time to time agencies of the U.S. Government investigate whether we have been and are operating in accordance with these requirements. We may cooperate with the U.S. Government in those investigations. Under U.S. Government regulations, an indictment of L3Harris by a federal grand jury, or an administrative finding against us as to our present responsibility to be a U.S. Government contractor or subcontractor, could result in us being suspended for a period of time from eligibility for awards of new government contracts or task orders or in a loss of export privileges, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and cash flows. A conviction, or an administrative finding against us that satisfies the requisite level of seriousness, could result in debarment from contracting with the U.S. Government for a specific term, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and cash flows.equity.
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.
Many of the markets we serve are characterized by vigorous protection and pursuit of intellectual property rights, which often has resulted in protracted and expensive litigation. Our efforts to gain awards of contracts and ensure a competitive position in the market depends in part on our ability to ensure that our intellectual property is protected, that our intellectual property rights are not diluted or subject to misuse, and that we are able to license certain third party intellectual property on reasonable terms. 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 we may be found to be infringing or to have infringed directly or indirectly upon those intellectual property rights. Claims of intellectual property infringement might also require us to enter into costly royalty or license agreements. There can be no assurance that any of ourOur patents and other intellectual property will notmay be challenged, invalidated, misappropriated or circumvented by third parties. Moreover, we may not be able to obtain royalty or license agreements on terms acceptable to us, or at all. We also may be subject to significant damages or injunctions against development and sale of certain of our products, services and solutions. Our success depends in large part on our proprietary technology. We rely on a combination of patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, know-how, confidentiality provisions and licensing arrangements to establish and protect our intellectual property rights. In addition, the laws concerning intellectual property vary among nations and the protection provided to our intellectual property by the laws and courts of foreign nations may differ from those of the U.S. If we fail to successfully protect and enforce these rights, our competitive position could suffer. Our pending patent and trademark registration applications may not be allowed, or competitors may challenge the validity or scope of our patents or trademark registrations. In addition, our patents may not provide us a significant competitive advantage. We may be required to spend significant resources to monitor and enforce our intellectual property rights. Litigation to determine the scope of intellectual property rights, even if ultimately successful, could be costly and could divert management’s attention away from other aspects of our business.Webusiness. We may not be able to detect infringement, and our competitive position may be harmed before we do so. In addition, competitors may design around our technology or develop competing technologies.
Our commercial aviation products, systems and services business (a portion of L3’s business prior to the L3Harris Merger) is affected by global demand and economic factors that could negatively impact our financial results.
As a result of the L3Harris Merger, we now have commercial aviation products, systems and services business. The operating results of our commercial aviation products, systems and services business may be adversely affected by downturns in the global demand for air travel which impacts new aircraft production and orders, and global flying hours, which impacts air transport, regional and business aircraft utilization rates and pilot training needs. The aviation industry is highly cyclical, and the level of demand for air travel is correlated to the strength of the U.S. and international economies and is impacted by long-term trends in airline passenger and cargo traffic. The results of our commercial aviation business also depend on other factors, including general economic growth, political stability in both developed and emerging markets, pricing pressures, trends in capital goods markets and changes in original equipment manufacturer production rates.

We face certain significant risk exposures and potential liabilities that may not be covered adequately by insurance or indemnity.
We are exposed to liabilities that are unique to the products, systems and services we provide. A significant portion of our business relates to designing, developing and manufacturing advanced defense, technology and communications systems and products. New technologies associated with these systems and products may be untested or unproven. Components of certain of the defense systems and products we develop are inherently dangerous. Failures of satellites, missile systems, air traffic control systems, electronic warfare systems, space superiority systems, C4ISRC5ISR systems, homeland security applications and aircraft have the potential to cause loss of life and extensive property damage. Other examples of unforeseen problems that could result, either directly or indirectly, in the loss of life or property or otherwise negatively affect revenue and profitability include loss on launch of spacecraft, premature failure of products that cannot be accessed for repair or replacement, problems with quality and workmanship, country of origin, delivery of subcontractor components or services and unplanned degradation of product performance. In addition, problems and delays in development or delivery as a result of issues with respect to design, technology, licensing and patent rights, labor, learning curve assumptions or materials and components could prevent us from achieving contractual requirements. In many circumstances, we may receive indemnification from the U.S. Government. We generally do not receive indemnification from foreign governments. Although we maintain insurance for certain risks, including certain cybersecurity exposures, the amount of our insurance coverage may not be adequate to cover all claims or liabilities, and we may be forced to bear substantial costs from an accident or incident. It also is not possible for us to obtain insurance to protect against all operational risks and liabilities. Substantial claims resulting from an incident in excess of U.S. Government indemnity and our insurance coverage would harm our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and cash flows.equity. Other factors that may affect revenue and profits include loss of follow-on work, and, in the case of certain contracts, liquidated damages, penalties and repayment to the customer of contract cost and fee payments we previously received. Moreover, any accident or incident for which we are liable, even if fully insured, could negatively affect our standing with our customers and the public, thereby making it more difficult for us to compete effectively, and could significantly impact the cost and availability of adequate insurance in the future.
Changes in our effective tax rate may have an adverse effect on our results of operations.
22
Our future effective tax rate may be adversely affected by a number of factors including:
The jurisdictions in which profits are determined to be earned and taxed;
Adjustments to estimated taxes upon finalization of various tax returns;
Increases in expenses not fully deductible for tax purposes, including write-offs of acquired in-process R&D and impairment of goodwill or other long-term assets in connection with mergers or acquisitions;
Changes in available tax credits;
Changes in share-based compensation expense;
Changes in the valuation of our deferred tax assets and liabilities;
Changes in domestic or international tax laws or the interpretation of such tax laws; and
The resolution of issues arising from tax audits with various tax authorities.
Any significant increase in our future effective tax rates could adversely impact our results of operations for future periods.
Our level of indebtedness and our ability to make payments on or service our indebtedness and our unfunded defined benefit plans liability may adversely affect our financial and operating activities or our ability to incur additional debt.
At the end of fiscal 2019, Harris had $3.4 billion in aggregate principal amount of outstanding debt and approximately $1.2 billion of unfunded defined benefit plans liability. In addition, we assumed $3.4 billion in aggregate principal amount of outstanding debt in connection with the L3Harris Merger and expect our unfunded defined benefit plans liability will increase substantially when we complete our initial accounting for the L3Harris Merger during the Fiscal Transition Period.In the future we may increase our borrowings; however, our ability to do so will be subject to limitations imposed on us by our debt agreements. Our ability to make payments on and to refinance our indebtedness as well as any future debt that we may incur and our ability to make contributions to our unfunded defined benefit plans liability, will depend on our ability to generate cash in the future from operations, financings or asset sales. Our ability to generate cash is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors that are beyond our control. If we are not able to repay or refinance our debt as it becomes due or make contributions to our unfunded defined benefit plans liability, we may be forced to sell assets or take other disadvantageous actions, including reducing financing in the future for working capital, capital expenditures and general corporate purposes; reducing our cash dividend rate and/or share repurchases; or dedicating an unsustainable level of our cash flow from operations to the payment of principal and interest on our indebtedness. In addition, our ability to withstand competitive pressures and to react to changes in the defense technology industry could be impaired. The lenders who hold such debt could also accelerate amounts due, which could potentially trigger a default or acceleration of any of our other debt.

A downgrade in our credit ratings could materially adversely affect our business.
The credit ratings assigned to our debt securities could change based on, among other things, our results of operations, financial condition, mergers, acquisitions or dispositions. These ratings are subject to ongoing evaluation by credit rating agencies, and there can be no assurance that any rating will not be changed or withdrawn by a rating agency in the future. Moreover, these credit ratings are not recommendations to buy, sell or hold any of our debt securities. Actual or anticipated changes or downgrades in our credit ratings, including any announcement that our ratings are under review for a downgrade or have been assigned a negative outlook, would likely increase our borrowing costs and affect our ability to incur new indebtedness or refinance our existing indebtedness, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows and the market value of our common stock and outstanding debt securities.
Unforeseen environmental issues could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and cash flows.equity.
Our operations are subject to various U.S. Federal, state and local, as well as certain foreign, environmental laws and regulations within the countries in which we operate relating to the discharge, storage, treatment, handling, disposal and remediation of certain materials, substances and wastes used in our operations. In addition, we could be affected by future environmental laws or regulations, including, for example, new restrictions on materials used in our operations, or future regulations imposed or claims asserted in response to concerns over climate change, other aspects of the environment or natural resources. Compliance with current and future environmental laws and regulations may require significant operating and capital costs. Environmental laws and regulations may authorize substantial fines and criminal sanctions as well as facility shutdowns to address violations, and may require the installation of costly pollution control equipment or operational changes to limit emissions or discharges. We also incur, and expect to continue to incur, costs to comply with current environmental laws and regulations related to remediation of conditions in the environment. In addition, if violations of environmental laws result in us, or in one or more of our operations, being identified as an excluded party in the U.S. Government’s System for Award Management, then we or one or more of our operations would become ineligible to receive certain contracts, subcontracts and other benefits from the Federal government or to perform work under a government contract or subcontract. Generally, such ineligibility would continue until the basis for the listing has been appropriately addressed. Developments such as the adoption of new environmental laws and regulations, stricter enforcement of existing laws and regulations, violations by us of such laws and regulations, discovery of previously unknown or more extensive contamination, litigation involving environmental impacts, our inability to recover costs associated with any such developments under previously priced contracts, or financial insolvency of other responsible parties could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and cash flows.equity.
We haveStrategic Transactions and Investments Risks
Strategic transactions, including mergers, acquisitions and divestitures, involve significant operations in locationsrisks and uncertainties that could be materially and adversely impacted in the event of a natural disaster or other significant disruption.
Our corporate headquarters and significant business operations are located in Florida, which is subject to the risk of major hurricanes. Our worldwide operations and operations of our suppliers could be subject to natural disasters or other significant disruptions, including hurricanes, typhoons, tsunamis, floods, earthquakes, fires, water shortages, other extreme weather conditions, medical epidemics, acts of terrorism, power shortages and blackouts, telecommunications failures, cyber attacks and other natural and manmade disasters or disruptions. In the event of such a natural disaster or other disruption, we could experience disruptions or interruptions to our operations or the operations of our suppliers, subcontractors, distributors, resellers or customers; destruction of facilities; and/or loss of life, all of which could materially increase our costs and expenses and have a material adverse effect onaffect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and equity.
Strategic mergers, acquisitions and divestitures we have made in the past and may make in the future present significant risks and uncertainties that could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows.flows and equity, which include:
•Difficulty in identifying and evaluating potential mergers and acquisitions, including the risk that our due diligence does not identify or fully assess valuation issues, potential liabilities or other merger or acquisition risks;
•Difficulty and expense in integrating newly merged or acquired businesses and operations, including combining product and service offerings, and in entering into new markets in which we are not experienced, in an efficient and cost-effective manner while maintaining adequate standards, controls and procedures, and the risk that we encounter significant unanticipated costs or other problems associated with integration;
•Difficulty and expense in consolidating and rationalizing IT infrastructure, which may include multiple legacy systems from various mergers and acquisitions and integrating software code;
•Challenges in achieving strategic objectives, cost savings and other expected benefits;
•Risk that our markets do not evolve as anticipated and that the strategic mergers, acquisitions and divestitures do not prove to be those needed to be successful in those markets;
•Risk that we assume or retain, or that companies we have merged with or acquired have assumed or retained or otherwise become subject to, significant liabilities that exceed the limitations of any applicable indemnification provisions or the financial resources of any indemnifying parties;
•Risk that indemnification related to businesses divested or spun off that we may be required to provide or otherwise bear may be significant and could negatively impact our business;
•Risk that mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, spin offs and other strategic transactions fail to qualify for the intended tax treatment for U.S. Federal income tax purposes, such as a tax-free reorganization in the case of the L3Harris Merger;
•Risk that we are not able to complete strategic divestitures on satisfactory terms and conditions, including non-competition arrangements applicable to certain of our business lines, or within expected timeframes; 
•Potential loss of key employees or customers of the businesses merged with or acquired or to be divested; and
•Risk of diverting the attention of senior management from our existing operations.
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 materially adversely affect our results of operations.operations and financial condition.
From time to time, we acquire a minority or majority interest in a business. These investments are made uponbusiness, following careful analysis and due diligence procedures designed to achieve a desired return or strategic objective. These procedures often involve certain assumptions and judgment in determining acquisition price. After acquisition, such assumptions and judgment may prove to have been inaccurate
23

and unforeseen issues could arise, which could adversely affect the anticipated returns or which are otherwise not recoverable as an adjustment to the purchase price. Even after careful integration efforts, actual operating results may vary significantly from initial estimates. As of June 28, 2019,January 1, 2021, we had goodwill of $5.3$18.9 billion recorded in our Consolidated Balance Sheet, and we expect the amountlarge majority of which was recorded goodwill and other intangible assets will increase substantially when we complete our initial accounting forin connection with the L3Harris Merger during the Fiscal Transition Period.Merger. We evaluate the recoverability of recorded goodwill annually, as well as when we change reporting units and when events or circumstances indicate there may be an impairment. We test goodwill for impairment at an organizational level referred to as the reporting unit, which is our business segment level or one level below the business segment. The impairment test is based on several factors requiring judgment. Principally, a decrease in expected reporting unit cash flows or changes in market conditions may indicate potential impairment of recorded goodwill. In addition, following the L3Harris Merger, our reporting units are generally one level below the segment level and two of our segments are comprised of several reporting units. During fiscal 2020, we recorded non-cash charges for impairment of goodwill and other assets of $718 million related to our Commercial Aviation Solutions reporting unit due to COVID-related impacts on global air traffic and customer operations. Allocation of goodwill to several reporting units could make it more likely that we will have additional impairment charges in the future. Because of the significance of our goodwill and other intangible assets, any future impairment of these assets could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. For additional information on our accounting

policies we have in place forrelated to impairment of goodwill, see our discussion under “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” in “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of this Report and Note 1: Significant Accounting Policies and Note 9:10: Goodwill in the Notes.
We must attract and retain key employees, and any failure to do so could seriously harm us.
Our future success depends to a significant degree upon the continued contributions of our management and our ability to attract and retain highly qualified management and technical personnel, including employees who have U.S. Government security clearances, particularly clearances of top-secret and above. To the extent that the demand for qualified personnel exceeds supply, as has been the case from time to time in recent years, we could experience higher labor, recruiting or training costs in order to attract and retain such employees, or could experience difficulties in performing under our contracts if our needs for such employees were unmet. Failure to attract and retain such personnel would damage our future prospects.
Some of our workforce is represented by labor unions, so our business could be harmed in the event of a prolonged work stoppage.
At the end of fiscal 2019, approximately 630 of Harris’ U.S. employees were unionized, which represented approximately 3 percent of Harris’ employee-base. Following the L3Harris Merger, we now have more employees working under collective bargaining agreements with labor unions and worker representatives. If we encounter difficulties with renegotiations or renewals of collective bargaining arrangements or are unsuccessful in those efforts, we could incur additional costs and experience work stoppages. Union actions at suppliers can also affect us. We cannot predict how stable our union relationships will be or whether we will be able to successfully negotiate successor collective bargaining agreements without impacting our financial condition. In addition, the presence of unions may limit our flexibility in dealing with our workforce. Work stoppages could negatively impact our ability to manufacture products or provide services on a timely basis, which could negatively impact our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Risks Relating to Integration Following the L3Harris Merger
We may fail to realize all of the anticipated benefits of the L3Harris Merger or those benefits may take longer to realize than expected. We may also encounter significant difficulties in integrating the businesses.
Our ability to realize the anticipated benefits of the L3Harris Merger will depend, to a large extent, on our ability to integrate the businesses. The combination of independent businesses is a complex, costly and time-consuming process. As a result, we will be required to devote significant management attention and resources to integration activities. The integration process may disrupt the businesses and, if implemented ineffectively, could restrict the realization of the full benefits anticipated. The failure to meet the challenges involved in integrating the businesses and to realize the anticipated benefits of the L3Harris Merger could cause an interruption of or a loss of momentum in our activities and could adversely affect our results of operations. In addition, the overall integration may result in material unanticipated problems, expenses, liabilities, competitive responses, loss of customer relationships and diversion of management’s attention. The difficulties of combining the operations of the companies include, among others:
the•The diversion of management’s attention to integration matters;
difficulties•Difficulties in achieving anticipated cost savings, synergies, business opportunities and growth prospects from the combination;prospects;
difficulties•Difficulties in the integration of operations and systems;
conforming•Conforming standards, controls, procedures and accounting and other policies, business cultures and compensation structures between the companies;
difficulties•Difficulties in the assimilation of employees;
difficulties•Difficulties in managing the expanded operations of a significantly larger and more complex company;
difficulties•Difficulties in establishing effective uniform controls, systems, procedures and policies for the combined company;
challenges•Challenges in keeping existing customers and obtaining new customers;
challenges•Challenges in attracting and retaining key personnel; and
coordinating•Coordinating a geographically dispersed organization.
Many of these factors will be outside of our control and any one of them could result in increased costs, decreases in the amount of expected revenuesrevenue and diversion of management’s time and energy, which could materially impact our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, even if our operations are integrated successfully, the full benefits of the L3Harris Merger may not be realized, including the synergies, cost savings or sales or growth opportunities that are expected. These benefits may not be achieved within the anticipated time frame or at all. Further, additional unanticipated costs may be incurred in the integration. All of these factors could cause dilution to our earnings per share, decrease or delay the expected benefits of the L3Harris Merger and negatively impact the price of our stock. As a result, we can give no assurances that the L3Harris Merger will result in the realization of the full benefits anticipated.

Certain business uncertainties arising from the L3Harris Merger could adversely affect our businesses and operations.
Uncertainties about the effect of the L3Harris Merger on employees, customers, suppliers, business partners and other persons with whom we have a business relationship may have an adverse effect on us. During times of significant change and uncertainty such as the period following the L3Harris Merger, customers, suppliers, business partners and other persons with whom we have a business relationship may delay or defer business decisions, decide to terminate, modify or renegotiate their relationships with us, or take other actions as a result of the L3Harris Merger that could negatively affect our revenues, earnings and cash flows, as well as the market price of our securities. Our ability to raise additional capital through the debt markets, and the associated borrowing costs, may also be negatively impacted. Any such effects could limit our ability to achieve the anticipated benefits of the L3Harris Merger. These uncertainties about the effect of the L3Harris Merger may also impair our ability to attract, retain and motivate key personnel. Employee retention may be challenging, as certain employees may experience uncertainty about their future roles or may be dissatisfied with their new roles. If key employees depart, our business could be materially harmed. If key employees join a competitor or form a new competitor, existing and potential clients could choose to use the products or services of that competitor instead of our products or services.
We have incurred and will incur direct and indirect costs as a result of the L3Harris Merger.
We have incurred substantial expenses in connection with completing the L3Harris Merger and expect to incur substantial expenses in connection with coordinating and integrating the businesses, operations, policies and procedures of the combined companies. While we have assumed that a certain level of transaction and coordination expenses will be incurred, there are a number of factors beyond our control that could affect the total amount or the timing of these transaction and coordination expenses. Many of the expenses that will be incurred, by their nature, are difficult to estimate accurately. These expenses may exceed the costs historically borne by us. These costs could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operation.

In our opinion, our facilities, whether owned or leased, are suitable and adequate for their intended purposes and have capacities adequate for current and projected needs. We frequently review our anticipated requirements for facilities and will, from time to time, acquire additional facilities, expand existing facilities and dispose of existing facilities or parts thereof, as management deems necessary. For more information about our lease obligations, see Note 18:19: Lease Commitments in the Notes. Our facilities and other properties are generally maintained in good operating condition.
Following the completion of the L3Harris Merger, the number of our leased and owned offices and facilities significantly increased.
 ITEM 3.LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
General. From time to time, as a normal incident of the nature and kind of businesses in which we are or 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 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. At June 28, 2019,January 1, 2021, our accrual for the potential resolution of lawsuits, claims or proceedings that we consider probable of being decided unfavorably to us was not material. 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, whichthat are considered probable of being rendered against us in litigation or arbitration in existence at June 28, 2019January 1, 2021 are reserved against or would not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or cash flows.equity.
Tax Audits. Our tax filings are subject to audit by taxing authorities in jurisdictions where we conduct or conducted business. These audits may result in assessments of additional taxes that are subsequently resolved with the authorities or
25

ultimately through 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 Consolidated Financial Statements. See Note 22:23: Income Taxes in the Notes for additional information regarding audits and examinations by taxing authorities of our tax filings.
U.S. Government Business. We are engaged in supplying goods and services to various departments and agencies of the U.S. Government. We are therefore dependent on Congressional appropriations and administrative allotment of funds and may be affected by changes in U.S. Government policies. U.S. Government development and production contracts typically involve long lead times for design and development, are subject to significant changes in contract scheduling and may be unilaterally modified or canceled by the U.S. Government. Often these contracts call for successful design and production of complex and technologically advanced products or systems. We may participate in supplying goods and services to the U.S. Government as either a prime contractor or as a subcontractor to a prime contractor. Disputes may arise between the prime contractor and the U.S. Government or between the prime contractor and its subcontractors and may result in litigation or arbitration between the contracting parties.
Generally, U.S. Government contracts are subject to procurement laws and regulations, including the FAR, which outline uniform policies and procedures for acquiring goods and services by the U.S. Government, and specific agency acquisition regulations that implement or supplement the FAR, such as the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement. As a

U.S. Government contractor, our contract costs are audited and reviewed on a continuing basis by the Defense Contract Audit Agency (“DCAA”). The DCAA also reviews the adequacy of, and a U.S. Government contractor’s compliance with, the contractor’s business systems and policies, including the contractor’s property, estimating, compensation and management information systems. In addition to these routine audits, from time to time, we may, either individually or in conjunction with other U.S. Government contractors, be the subject of audits and investigations by other agencies of the U.S. Government. These audits and investigations are conducted to determine if our performance and administration of our U.S. Government contracts are compliant with applicable contractual requirements and procurement and other applicable Federal laws and regulations, including ITAR and FCPA. These investigations may be conducted with or without our knowledge or cooperation. We are unable to predict the outcome of such investigations or to estimate the amounts of resulting claims or other actions that could be instituted against us or our officers or employees. Under present U.S. Government procurement laws and regulations, if indicted or adjudged in violation of procurement or other Federal laws, a contractor, such as us, or one or more of our operating divisions or subdivisions, could be subject to fines, penalties, repayments, or compensatory or treble damages. U.S. Government regulations also provide that certain findings against a contractor may lead to suspension or debarment from eligibility for awards of new U.S. Government contracts for a period of time to be determined by the U.S. Government. Suspension or debarment would have a material adverse effect on us because of our reliance on U.S. Government contracts. In addition, our export privileges could be suspended or revoked, which also would have a material adverse effect on us. For further discussion of risks relating to U.S. Government contracts, see “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of this Report.
International. As an international company, we are, from time to time, the subject of investigations relating to our international operations, including under U.S. export control laws (such as ITAR), the FCPA and other similar U.S. and international laws.
In September 2019, we reached an administrative settlement with the Department of State to resolve alleged U.S. export control regulation violations. Under the terms of the settlement we have committed to strengthen our trade compliance program under the supervision of a special compliance officer and will pay a civil penalty of $13 million over three years (with $6.5 million suspended on the condition of use for qualified remedial compliance measures). The settlement did not result in any debarment or limitation on export licensing.
Environmental Matters. We are subject to numerous U.S. Federal, state, local and international environmental laws and regulatory requirements and are involved from time to time in investigations or litigation of various potential environmental issues. We or companies we have acquired are responsible, or alleged to be responsible, for environmental investigation and/or remediation of multiple sites. These sites are in various stages of investigation and/or remediation and in some cases our liability is considered de minimis. Notices from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) or equivalent state or international environmental agencies allege that a number of sites formerly or currently owned and/or operated by us or companies we have acquired, and other properties or water supplies that may be or have been impacted from those operations, contain disposed or recycled materials or wastes and require environmental investigation and/or remediation. These sites include instances of us being identified as a potentially responsible party under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (commonly known as the “Superfund Act”) and/or equivalent state and international laws. For example, in June 2014, the U.S. Department of Justice, Environment and Natural Resources Division, notified several potentially responsible parties, including Exelis Inc., which we acquired on May 29, 2015 (“Exelis”), of potential responsibility for contribution to the environmental investigation and remediation of multiple locations in Alaska. In addition, in March 2016, the EPA notified over 100 potentially responsible parties, including Exelis, of potential liability for the cost of remediation for the lower 8.3-mile stretch of the Lower Passaic River, estimated by the EPA to be $1.38 billion, but the parties’ respective allocations have not been determined. Although it is
26

not feasible to predict the outcome of these environmental claims made against us, based on available information, in the opinion of our management, any payments we may be required to make as a result of environmental claims made against us in existence at June 28, 2019January 1, 2021 are reserved against, covered by insurance or would not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or cash flows.equity.

As noted in the introductory paragraph before “Item 1: Business” and described in more detail in Note 1: Significant Accounting Policies under “Principles of Consolidation” and Note 26: Subsequent Events in the Notes, the L3Harris Merger closed on June 29, 2019, after Harris’ fiscal 2019 ended (on June 28, 2019), and consequently, all or significant portions of the disclosure in the business description, results of operations, financial position, financial reports and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in this Report principally relate to Harris.
Through fiscal 2019, our fiscal years ended on the Friday nearest June 30. Commencing June 29, 2019, our fiscal year will end on the Friday nearest December 31, and the period commencing on June 29, 2019 will be a fiscal transition period ending on January 3, 2020. Our segment reporting for the Fiscal Transition Period will be adjusted to reflect our new organizational structure announced July 1, 2019, consisting of the following four business segments:
Integrated Mission Systems, including intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance; advanced electro optical and infrared solutions; and maritime power and navigation;
Space and Airborne Systems, including space payloads, sensors and full-mission solutions; classified intelligence and cyber defense; avionics; and electronic warfare;
Communication Systems, including tactical communications; broadband communications; night vision; and public safety; and
Aviation Systems, including defense aviation products; security, detection and other commercial aviation products; air traffic management; and commercial and military pilot training.
These changes to our segment reporting are effective as of the beginning of the Fiscal Transition Period and therefore do not affect the historical results, discussion or presentation of our business segments, to the extent the segment operating results are helpful to an understanding of our business as set fortha whole, for the periods presented in this Report. We will report our financial statements.

COVID
The ongoing COVID pandemic and attempts to contain and reduce the spread of the virus, such as mandatory closures, “shelter-in-place” orders and travel and quarantine restrictions, have caused significant disruptions and adverse effects on the U.S. and global economies, such as impacts to supply chains, customer demand, international trade and capital markets. Our response has involved increasing our focus on keeping our employees safe while striving to maintain continuity of operations, meet customer commitments and support suppliers. For example, we instituted work-from-home (for employees who are able to work remotely) and social distancing arrangements; canceled travel and external events; procured personal protective equipment for employees; implemented health screening procedures at all facilities; staggered work shifts, redesigned work stations, implemented stringent cleaning protocols and initiated more detailed safety precautions and protocols for on-site work, such as daily health assessments and mandatory face coverings, which currently remain in effect. We have also maintained an active dialog with this new segment reporting structure beginning withkey suppliers and developed plans to mitigate supply chain risks. We have allowed certain essential business travel to resume, and we continue to expect to utilize a phased approach based on local conditions for transitioning employees from work-from-home arrangements to on-site work. The U.S. Government response to COVID has included identifying the fiscal quarter ending on September 27, 2019.
defense industrial base as a Critical Infrastructure Sector and enhancing cash flow and liquidity for the defense industrial base, such as by increasing progress payments and accelerating contract awards. As a part of the regulatory processdefense industrial base, these actions have enabled us to keep our U.S. production facilities largely operational in connectionsupport of national security commitments to U.S. Government customers and to accelerate payments to small business suppliers, which we expect to continue while the U.S. Government’s responsive actions remain in effect.
Although we believe that the large percentage of our revenue, earnings and cash flow that is derived from sales to the U.S. Government, whether directly or through prime contractors, will be relatively predictable, in part due to the responsive actions
33

taken by the U.S. Government described above, our commercial, international and public safety businesses are at a higher risk of adverse impacts related to COVID. For example, the severe decline in global air traffic from travel restrictions and the resulting downturn in the commercial aviation market and its impact on customer operations has significantly reduced demand for flight training, flight simulators and commercial avionics products in our Aviation Systems segment. As a result, we temporarily, and in some circumstances permanently, closed or will soon close some of our flight training facilities, initiated restructuring and other actions to align our resources with the L3Harris Merger, we entered into a definitive agreementoutlook for the commercial aviation market (including workforce reduction and facility consolidation) and have recognized $767 million of charges for impairment of goodwill and other assets and other COVID-related impacts in fiscal 2020.
The extent of these disruptions and impacts, including on April 4, 2019our ability to sellperform under U.S. Government contracts and other contracts within agreed timeframes and ultimately on our results of operations and cash flows, will depend on future developments, including the Harris Night Vision business to Elbit Systems of America, LLC, a subsidiary of Elbit Systems Ltd., for $350 million in cash, subject to customary purchase price adjustments as set forth in the definitive agreement. The sale

We continue to work with our customers, employees, suppliers, subcontractors, distributors, resellers and communities to address the impact of high-performance, vision-enhancing products for U.S.the pandemic. We continue to assess possible implications to our business, supply chain and allied militarycustomers, and security forces and commercial customers.

As described in more detail in Note 1: Significant Accounting Policies under “Principles of Consolidation” and in Note 3: Discontinued Operations and Divestitures in the Notes, we completed the divestitures of CapRock and IT Services in fiscal 2017. CapRock and IT Services were part of our former Critical Networks segment and are reported as discontinued operations in this Report. Our historical financial results have been restated for all periods presented in this Report to account for businesses reported as discontinued operations in this Report. Except for disclosures related to our cash flows, or unless otherwise specified, disclosures in this Report relate solely to our continuing operations.
As described in more detail in Note 2: Accounting Changes or Recent Accounting Pronouncementsin the Notes, effective June 30,29, 2019, we changed our fiscal year end to the Friday nearest December 31, and the period that commenced on June 29, 2019 was a fiscal transition period that ended on January 3, 2020.

Value Drivers of Our Business
In recent years,During fiscal 2020, we have reshapedmade progress executing our strategy of building a technology-focused operating company and becoming a full end-to-end mission solutions prime contractor to drive shareholder value. Despite impacts from COVID to our
35

commercial aviation and public safety businesses, we met customer commitments, delivered organic revenue growth in our core U.S. Government and international businesses on a pro forma (as defined below in this MD&A) basis, advanced the integration and made progress on portfolio shaping, while increasing our focus on keeping our employees safe.
We received several key strategic contract awards in fiscal 2020, establishing us as a mission solutions prime contractor with our responsive satellites and unmanned surface vehicles and within missile defense, as well as highlighting our technology and solutions for the contested environments our customers will need to compete and operate in in the future. We also invested $684 million (4 percent of businessestotal revenue) in company-sponsored R&D focused on technologies that expand our capabilities in the following areas:
•Open systems architecture;
•Multi-function system capabilities; and
•Software-defined solutions.
We also made progress during the fiscal year reshaping our portfolio to focus on high-growth, high-margintechnology-differentiated businesses, successfully integrated Exelis,completing three divestitures, and made investments that ledused the proceeds along with our net cash provided by operating activities to several new product launchesrepurchase shares of our common stock. In addition, we refinanced debt and strategic program awards. That multi-year strategy set the stage for a fiscal 2019 capped by financial results that exceeded targets we set at the beginning of the fiscal year, and for combining with L3 Technologies following the close of the year to form L3Harris Technologies.
Fiscal 2019 was a transformative year as we accelerated growth across all three business segments, expanded margins through our focus on operational excellence and recorded higher orders that drove a 12 percent increase in backlog for the fiscal year. We paid dividends, repurchased shares and repaid debt that expanded our future financial flexibility. In addition, we formed a dedicated integration team to plan for a seamless day one transition to the new L3Harris following the closing of the L3Harris Merger on June 29, 2019.
We plan to build on our strong fiscal 2019 performance,2020 momentum, and together with a well-funded

U.S. Governmentbroad programs support across key areas in the DoD budget, expected international growth and L3Harris Merger synergies and a continued focus on operational excellence and innovation, we believe we are well positioned to achieve our strategic priorities for the Fiscal Transition Periodfiscal 2021 and the next fiscal year,thereafter, which include the following:
• Integrating flawlessly;Growing revenue through investments in R&D in high growth, high margin areas where technology is a key differentiator to address our customers’ most critical challenges;
• Building a new high-performance culture;Executing seamless integration and achieving at least $320 million to $350 million in net cost synergies from the L3Harris Merger by the end of 2021;
•Driving flawless execution and margin expansion through our e3 (excellence, everywhere, every day) operational excellence everywhere;program;
• Accelerating innovation;Reshaping our business portfolio to focus on high margin, high growth businesses; and
• Growing the company.
We are focused on successfully integrating the two companies to maximize the benefits of the transformative merger. As our integration efforts focus on driving greater cost and operational efficiencies and capturing opportunities to drive revenue growth, we continue to execute against our strategic priorities and focus on maintaining our deep customer relationships, commercializing our technology and driving operational excellence.
Our operational excellence program, e3 (excellence everywhere every day), is focused on winning enduring customer loyalty through our deep commitment to excellence, innovation, customer satisfaction and continuous improvement in everything we do. Prior to the L3Harris Merger, we made substantial progress in standardizing our IT systems, which we expect will dramatically reduce the number of enterprise resource planning platforms, simplify our operating environment, drive productivity through growth in shared services, automate core processes and lay the foundation of our enterprise-wide digital strategy. We are working toward eliminating many of our data centers and making the remainder cloud-enabled. We also are continuing to focus on cost savings in our supply chain through “value engineering” and “should-cost” analysis, as well as improving supplier performance and reducing sole-sourced components on legacy solutions. We will continue these efforts as we integrate the two companies.
Innovation is at the core of our success, and R&D investment represents the foundation for innovation. We are
fundamentally reshaping how we design and develop new products to get more out of our R&D investment. We are deploying “DevOps” to streamline software development, which has grown to be a significant portion of our engineering work today and is expected to increase over time. We also use standardized processes and common metrics to track progress, gauge success and drive disciplined execution, as well as core technology centers to more fully leverage R&D investment across our Company.
Our commitment to excellence and innovation carries through to the L3Harris Merger and the integration process. Our goal is to maximize the benefits of this transformative merger, creating significantly greater scale and bringing together two engineering-driven companies and workforces with similar cultures that value technology leadership. Together, the two companies’ complementary technologies and capabilities strengthen core franchises and provide new opportunities for innovation to solve our customers’ most complex challenges. The integration process represents a significant opportunity to achieve synergy savings. We also are combining top talent and technology from each company in a market-focused reorganization that will align with our strategic growth platforms and will help improve our competitive position, increase operational efficiency, and capture synergies, while we continue to bring innovative and affordable solutions to our customers. As our integration efforts focus on driving greater cost and operational efficiencies and revenue growth through synergies, we will continue to maintain our focus on continuing to execute against our strategic priorities and other things that we can control - including satisfying our customers, driving operational excellence, improvingMaximizing cash flow and optimizingwith shareholder friendly capital deployment. The L3Harris Merger also provides a unique opportunity for portfolio shaping actions, and we will continue to evaluate what businesses are strategic and what businesses are better served under a different owner.
During fiscal 2019,2020, we returned to our shareholders $325$725 million inthrough dividends and another $200$2,290 million through share repurchases andrepurchases. On January 28, 2021, we also used $281announced that our Board of Directors approved a 20 percent increase in the quarterly per share cash dividend rate on our common stock to $1.02, commencing with the dividend to be declared for the first quarter of 2021, for an annualized per share rate of $4.08, as well as a new $6 billion share repurchase authorization under our repurchase program that was in addition to the remaining unused authorization of $210 million, for net repaymenta total unused authorization of borrowings.$6.2 billion. In the Fiscal Transition Period,fiscal 2021, we believe accelerating revenue growth across our business segments and margin expansion will improve our operating cash flow, which we expect to use for increasedinvestments in technology and innovation, dividends and share repurchasesrepurchases.
Beyond fiscal 2020, we expect three main building blocks will support growth over the next three to five years, although we can give no assurances on this subject. First, we have a portfolio that is well aligned with national security priorities for threats identified in the National Defense Strategy. We have realigned our R&D efforts to extend our position through investments in open architecture, multi-function software-defined technologies and reinvestmentwe anticipate future defense budgets will continue to growprioritize spending in the areas in which we are currently well-positioned and investing in technology. Second, we uniquely benefit from the revenue synergy opportunities created by the L3Harris Merger expanding our strategic businesses.addressable market. Third, we expect to leverage our sales channels and capitalize on our strengths domestically to support global modernization efforts and drive growth in international revenue.
Key Indicators
We believe our value drivers, when implemented, will improve our financial results, including: revenue; income from continuing operations and income from continuing operations per diluted common share; income from continuing operations as a percentage of revenue; total backlog; net cash provided by operating activities; return on invested capital; return on average equity; consolidated total indebtedness to total capital ratio; and net unfunded defined benefit plans liability. The measure of our success is reflected in our results of operations and liquidity and capital resources key indicators as discussed below.
Fiscal 2019 Results of Operations Key Indicators:    Revenue, income from continuing operations, income from continuing operations per diluted common share and income from continuing operations as a percentage of revenue represent key measurements of our value drivers:
Revenue increased 10 percent to $6.8 billion in fiscal 2019 from $6.2 billion in fiscal 2018;
Income from continuing operations increased 36 percent to $953 million in fiscal 2019 from $702 million in fiscal 2018;

Income from continuing operations as a percentage of revenue increased to 14 percent in fiscal 2019 from 11 percent in fiscal 2018; and
Income from continuing operations per diluted common share increased 37 percent to $7.89 in fiscal 2019 from $5.78 in fiscal 2018, reflecting both the increase in income from continuing operations as noted above and fewer diluted common shares outstanding due to repurchases of shares of common stock under our repurchase program during fiscal 2019.
Refer to MD&A heading “Operations Review” below in this Report for more information.
Fiscal 2019 Liquidity and Capital Resources Key Indicators:     Net cash provided by operating activities, return on invested capital, return on average equity, our consolidated total indebtedness to total capital ratio and our net unfunded defined benefit plans liability also represent key measurements of our value drivers:
Net cash provided by operating activities increased to $1,185 million in fiscal 2019 from $751 million in fiscal 2018;
Return on invested capital (defined as after-tax operating income from continuing operations divided by the two-point average of invested capital at the beginning and end of the fiscal year,period, where invested capital equals equity plus debt, less cash and cash equivalents) increased to 14 percent in fiscal 2019 from 11 percent in fiscal 2018;
Return; return on average equity (defined as income from continuing operations divided by the two-point average of equity at the beginning and end of the fiscal year)period); and consolidated total indebtedness to total capital ratio. The measure of our success is reflected in our results of operations and liquidity and capital resources key indicators as discussed below.
Because of the L3Harris Merger, fiscal 2020 reflects the results of the combined Company, while the four quarters ended January 3, 2020 reflect the results of only Harris operating businesses for the two quarters ended June 28, 2019 and the results of the combined Company for the two quarters ended January 3, 2020. Due to the significance of the L3 operating businesses included in the combined Company results following the L3Harris Merger, the reported results for fiscal 2020 and four quarters
36

ended January 3, 2020 generally are not comparable. Therefore, to assist with a discussion of the consolidated results of operations for fiscal 2020 and four quarters ended January 3, 2020 on a more comparable basis, certain supplemental unaudited pro forma combined income statement information prepared in accordance with the requirements of Article 11 of Regulation S-X (referred to in this MD&A as “pro forma”) also is provided (see “Supplemental Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Income Statement Information” below in this MD&A).
Fiscal 2020 Results of Operations Key Indicators: Revenue, income from continuing operations, income from continuing operations as a percentage of revenue, income from continuing operations per diluted common share and total backlog represent key measurements of our value drivers:
Consolidated — as reported
•Revenue increased 42 percent to 29$18.2 billion in fiscal 2020 from $12.9 billion in the four quarters ended January 3, 2020 primarily due to the inclusion of $5.5 billion of revenue (net of intercompany sales eliminations) from L3 operations in operating results for the two quarters ended July 3, 2020 (but not for the comparable prior-year two quarters preceding the L3Harris Merger);
•Income from continuing operations attributable to L3Harris common shareholders decreased 16 percent to $1,121 million in fiscal 2020 from $1,335 million in the four quarters ended January 3, 2020, primarily due to the combined effects of the reasons discussed below on an as reported basis, particularly the non-cash charges for impairment of goodwill and other assets associated with the COVID-related downturn in the commercial aviation market and its impact on customer operations in fiscal 2020;
•Income from continuing operations attributable to L3Harris common shareholders as a percentage of revenue decreased to 6 percent in fiscal 2020 from 10 percent in the four quarters ended January 3, 2020;
•Income from continuing operations per diluted common share attributable to L3Harris common shareholders decreased 34 percent to $5.19 in fiscal 2020 from $7.90 in the four quarters ended January 3, 2020, reflecting the decrease in income from continuing operations as noted above and higher weighted average diluted common shares outstanding due to 104 million shares issued in connection with the L3Harris Merger on June 29, 2019, partially offset by share repurchases during fiscal 2020; and
•Total backlog increased 5 percent to $21.7 billion at January 1, 2021 from 23$20.6 billion at January 3, 2020. Backlog at January 3, 2020 included $405 million associated with businesses divested in fiscal 2020, including $380 million of backlog associated with the airport security and automation business divested during the quarter ended July 3, 2020.
Consolidated — pro forma
•Revenue increased 1 percent to $18.2 billion in fiscal 2020 from $18.1 billion in the four quarters ended January 3, 2020 primarily due to growth in core U.S. and international businesses, mostly offset by divestitures and COVID-related impacts to our commercial aviation and public safety businesses;
•Income from continuing operations attributable to L3Harris common shareholders decreased 31 percent to $1,121 million in fiscal 2020 from $1,628 million in the four quarters ended January 3, 2020, primarily due to the combined effects of the reasons discussed below on a pro forma basis, particularly the non-cash charges for impairment of goodwill and other assets associated with the COVID-related downturn in the commercial aviation market and its impact on customer operations in fiscal 2020;
•Income from continuing operations attributable to L3Harris common shareholders as a percentage of revenue decreased to 6 percent in fiscal 2018;2020 from 9 percent in the four quarters ended January 3, 2020;
•Income from continuing operations per diluted common share attributable to L3Harris common shareholders decreased 28 percent to $5.19 in fiscal 2020 from $7.25 in the four quarters ended January 3, 2020, reflecting the decrease in income from continuing operations as noted above, partially offset by fewer weighted average diluted common shares outstanding due to repurchases of shares of common stock under our repurchase program during fiscal 2020; and
•Total backlog increased 5 percent to $21.7 billion at January 1, 2021 from $20.6 billion at January 3, 2020. Backlog at January 3, 2020 included $405 million associated with businesses divested in fiscal 2020, including $380 million of backlog associated with the airport security and automation business divested during the quarter ended July 3, 2020.
Refer to MD&A heading “Operations Review” below in this Report for more information.
Fiscal 2020 Liquidity and Capital Resources Key Indicators: Net cash provided by operating activities, return on invested capital, return on average equity and our consolidated total indebtedness to total capital ratio also represent key measurements of our value drivers:
37

•Net cash provided by operating activities increased to $2,790 million in fiscal 2020 from $1,655 million in the four quarters ended January 3, 2020 reflecting the inclusion of cash flows from L3 operations following the L3Harris Merger;
•Return on invested capital decreased to 4 percent in fiscal 2020 from 7 percent in the four quarters ended January 3, 2020;
•Return on average equity decreased to 5 percent in fiscal 2020 from 10 percent in the four quarters ended January 3, 2020; and
•Our consolidated total indebtedness to total capital ratio at June 28, 2019January 1, 2021 was 5125 percent, compared with our 65 percent covenant limitation under our senior unsecured revolving credit facility; and
Our net unfunded defined benefit plans liability increased $460 million in fiscal 2019 to $1,174 million at June 28, 2019 compared with $714 million at June 29, 2018, primarily due to a lower discount rate.facility.
Refer to MD&A heading “Liquidity, Capital Resources and Financial Strategies” below in this Report for more information on net cash provided by (used in) operating, investing and financing activities.
We also measure the success of our business using certain measures that are not defined by GAAP, such as adjusted earnings before interest and taxes, adjusted earnings per share and adjusted free cash flow, which may be calculated differently by other companies. We use these measures, along with our key indicators above, to assess the success of our business and our ability to create shareholder value. We also use some of these and other performance metrics for executive compensation purposes.
Industry-Wide Opportunities, Challenges and Risks
Department of Defense and Other U.S. Federal Markets: Our largest customers are various departments and agencies of the U.S. Government — the percentage of our revenue that was derived from sales to U.S. Government customers, including foreign military sales funded through the U.S. Government, whether directly or through prime contractors, was 78 percent, 73 percent, 77 percent and 75 percent in fiscal 2020, the two quarters ended January 3, 2020, and fiscal 2019 2018 and 2017 was approximately 77 percent, 75 percent and 74 percent,2018, respectively.
On February 9, 2018, President TrumpDefense spending has been constrained by discretionary spending caps since the 2011 Budget Control Act. To appropriate funding exceeding the caps, Congress has passed a series of two-year budget deals to raise the caps on both discretionary defense and non-defense spending. The latest two-year agreement was signed into law the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018 (“BBA 2018”), a two-year budget agreement aimed to provide stability to the U.S. Government budget process for the government fiscal year (“GFY”) 2018 and GFY 2019 (U.S. Government fiscal years begin October 1 and end September 30). While the BBA 2018 raised the spending caps for GFY 2018 and GFY 2019 previously constrained by the Budget Control Act of 2011 (“BCA”) and temporarily suspended the statutory debt ceiling through March 1, 2019, it did not modify the BCA’s spending caps or sequestration mechanisms beyond GFY 2019.
On September 28, 2018, President Trump signed a final conference agreement on the GFY 2019 Defense Appropriations Bill into law, providing $716 billion for defense, including $647 billion in defense base funding and $69 billion for overseas contingency operations (“OCO”). Our major programs were fully funded and continue to remain priorities for U.S. Government customers.
On August 2, 2019 President Trump signed into lawby the President. The Bipartisan Budget Act of 2019 (“BBA 2019”), a two-year budget agreement raised the discretionary defense caps for GFYgovernment fiscal year (“GFY”) 2020 and GFY 2021 that increased defense funding to $738 billion ($667 billion in defense base funding and $71 billion for OCOOverseas Contingency Operations (“OCO”) funding) for GFY 2020 and $741 billion ($672 billion in defense base funding and $69 billion for OCO funding) for GFY 2021, representing an, respectively (U.S. Government fiscal years begin October 1 and end September 30). This represented a 3% increase of 3% from GFY 2019 funding levels.levels and builds on sustained funding increases Congress also provided in GFY 2017 and GFY 2018. The BBA 2019 also temporarily suspended the statutory debt ceiling through July 31, 2021. The
On December 27, 2020, the President signed into law H.R.133, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021. This bill appropriates $635 billion in total DoD base funding and $69 billion in OCO funding. It also appropriates $28 billion for the Department of Energy national security mission and $9 billion for other defense related activities, in line with the budget request and consistent with the total national defense budget cap of $741 billion for GFY 2021 established in BBA 2019 builds on sustained funding increases2019. In 2020 there were several COVID-related measures passed by Congress providedand enacted into law, totaling approximately $3.5 trillion in GFY 2019, GFY 2018funding. We expect Congress and GFY 2017. Althoughthe new administration to consider additional COVID legislation in early 2021, which could drive increased scrutiny of discretionary spending. However, although we anticipate debate will continue within the U.S. Government over defense spending for GFY 2020 and GFY 2021future years (which may have a significant impact on defense spending broadly and on our specific programs), our programs have been well supported in the BBA 2019.recent years, and our major efforts are aligned to key DoD needs.
Government Oversight and Risk: As a U.S. Government contractor, we are subject to U.S. Government oversight. The U.S. Government may investigate our business practices and audit our compliance with applicable rules and regulations. Depending on the results of those investigations and audits, the U.S. Government could make claims against us. Under U.S. Government procurement regulations and practices, an indictment or conviction of a government contractor could result in that contractor being fined and/or suspended from being able to bid on, or from being awarded, new U.S. Government contracts for a period of time determined by the U.S. Government. Similar government oversight exists in most other countries where we conduct business.

For a discussion of risks relating to U.S. Government contracts and subcontracts, see “Item 1. Business — Principal Customers; Government Contracts” and “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of this Report. We are also subject to other risks associated with U.S. Government business, including technological uncertainties, dependence on annual appropriations and allotment of funds, extensive regulations and other risks, which are discussed in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” and “Item 3. Legal Proceedings” of this Report.
State and Local: We also provide products to state and local government agencies that are committed to protecting our homeland and public safety. The public safety market was highly competitive and dependent on state and local government budgets during fiscal 2019.2020. Fiscal 2020 revenue in our Public Safety business sector was adversely impacted by COVID-related pressures on state and local government customers and we expect a continued decrease in Public Safety revenue in early fiscal

2021. Future market opportunities include upgrading aging analog infrastructure to new digital standards, as well as opportunities associated with next-generation LTELong Term Evolution (“LTE”) solutions for high data-rate applications.
International: We believe there is continuing international demand from military and government customers for tactical radios, public safety communications, electronic warfare equipment, products and systems for maritime platforms, air traffic management, electronic attack and release systems and ISR. We believe we can leverage our domain expertise and proven technology provided in the U.S. to further expand our international business.
We believe that our experience, technologies and capabilities are well aligned with the demand and requirements of the markets noted above in this Report. However, we remain subject to the spending levels, pace and priorities of the U.S. Government as well as international governments and commercial customers, and to general economic conditions that could adversely affect us, our customers and our suppliers. We also remain subject to other risks associated with these markets, including technological uncertainties, adoption of our new products and other risks that are discussed below in this Report under “Forward-Looking Statements and Factors that May Affect Future Results” and in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of this Report.

Fiscal Year Ended January 1, 2021 Compared With Four Quarters Ended January 3, 2020: The decrease in income from continuing operations in fiscal 2020 compared with the four quarters ended January 3, 2020 was primarily due to the combined effects of the reasons noted above regarding the fiscal year ended January 1, 2021 and four quarters ended January 3, 2020.
Two Quarters Ended January 3, 2020 Compared With Two Quarters Ended December 28, 2018: The increase in income from continuing operations in the two quarters ended January 3, 2020 compared with the two quarters ended December 28, 2018 was primarily due to the combined effects of the reasons noted above regarding the two quarters ended January 3, 2020 and two quarters ended December 28, 2018.
Income From Continuing Operations Per Diluted Common Share Attributable to L3Harris Common Shareholders
Fiscal Year Ended January 1, 2021 Compared With Four Quarters Ended January 3, 2020:  The decrease in income from continuing operations per diluted common share attributable to L3Harris common shareholders in fiscal 2020 compared with the four quarters ended January 3, 2020 was primarily due to the combined effects of the reasons noted above regarding the fiscal year ended January 1, 2021 and four quarters ended January 3, 2020, particularly the non-cash charges for impairment of goodwill and other assets and other COVID-related impacts in our Commercial Aviation Solutions reporting unit associated with the downturn in the commercial aviation market and its impact on customer operations, the absence of a prior-year benefit from the gain on the sale of the Harris Night Vision business and divestitures in fiscal 2020, as well as higher diluted weighted average common shares outstanding as a result of 104 million shares issued in connection with the L3Harris Merger, partially offset by share repurchases during fiscal 2020.
Two Quarters Ended January 3, 2020 Compared With Two Quarters Ended December 28, 2018: The increase in income from continuing operations per diluted common share attributable to L3Harris common shareholders in the two quarters ended January 3, 2020 compared with the two quarters ended December 28, 2018 was primarily due to higher income from continuing operations, as discussed above, partially offset by higher diluted weighted average common shares outstanding as a result of 104 million shares issued in connection with the L3Harris Merger, partially offset by share repurchases during fiscal 2020.

Pro Forma Basis Discussion for Fiscal Year Ended January 1, 2021 Compared With the Four Quarters Ended January 3, 2020
Revenue
Fiscal Year Ended January 1, 2021 Compared With Four Quarters Ended January 3, 2020: The increase in revenue for fiscal 2020 compared with pro forma revenue for the four quarters ended January 3, 2020 was primarily due to growth in core U.S. and international businesses, excluding commercial aviation and public safety markets, which more than offset the COVID-related decline. Revenue growth was driven by $257 million of higher revenue in our Space and Airborne Systems segment, $178 million of higher revenue in our Integrated Mission Systems segment and $165 million of higher revenue in our Communication Systems segment, partially offset by a decline in our Aviation Systems segment, due to the divestiture of the airport security and automation business and COVID-related impacts.
Two Quarters Ended January 3, 2020 Compared With Two Quarters Ended December 28, 2018: The increase in revenue for the two quarters ended January 3, 2020 compared with pro forma revenue for the two quarters ended December 28, 2018 was primarily due to $321 million higher revenue in our Space and Airborne Systems segment, from a ramp in modernization of the F-35 platform in Mission Avionics, increased production of electronic warfare systems for F/A-18 and B-52 aircraft in Electronic Warfare and growth in ground-based adjacencies and exquisite systems in classified areas; $257 million higher revenue in our Integrated Mission Systems segment, driven by growth in all three business sectors: ISR, Electro Optical and Maritime; $202 million higher revenue in our Communication Systems segment, from a ramp in DoD modernization programs in Tactical Communications and Integrated Vision Solutions as well as increased demand with state and federal customers in Public Safety; and higher revenue in our Aviation Systems segment, reflecting organic growth from precision engagement sensors and systems, partially offset by the prior period competitive loss of the USAF C-17 training contract.

Gross Margin
Fiscal Year Ended January 1, 2021 Compared With Four Quarters Ended January 3, 2020: The increase in gross margin and comparability of gross margin percentage for fiscal 2020 compared with pro forma gross margin and gross margin percentage for the four quarters ended January 3, 2020 reflects integration benefits, higher volume, operational excellence and $111 million of lower cost of sales related to the fair value step-up in inventory sold in the L3Harris Merger, partially offset by a mix of program revenue and product sales with relatively lower gross margin percentage in fiscal 2020.
Two Quarters Ended January 3, 2020 Compared With Two Quarters Ended December 28, 2018: The increase in gross margin and decrease in gross margin percentage for the two quarters ended January 3, 2020 compared with pro forma gross margin and gross margin percentage for the two quarters ended December 28, 2018 were primarily due to higher volume and strong operational performance, partially offset by $142 million of additional cost of sales related to the fair value step-up in inventory sold in the two quarters ended January 3, 2020.
Engineering, Selling and Administrative Expenses
Fiscal Year Ended January 1, 2021 Compared With Four Quarters Ended January 3, 2020: The decreases in ESA expenses and ESA percentage for fiscal 2020 compared with pro forma ESA expenses and ESA percentage for the four quarters ended January 3, 2020 were primarily due to $262 million of lower L3Harris Merger-related transaction, integration and restructuring expenses, a $22 million gain on sale of property, plant and equipment and integration savings, partially offset by $105 million of higher amortization of identifiable intangible assets acquired as a result of the L3Harris Merger, $16 million of COVID-related restructuring expenses and other costs and $13 million of higher divestiture-related expenses in fiscal 2020.
Two Quarters Ended January 3, 2020 Compared With Two Quarters Ended December 28, 2018: The increases in ESA expenses and ESA percentage for the two quarters ended January 3, 2020 compared with pro forma ESA expenses and ESA percentage for the two quarters ended December 28, 2018 were primarily due to $344 million of L3Harris Merger-related transaction, integration and restructuring expenses in the two quarters ended January 3, 2020, partially offset by integration savings.
Business Divestiture-Related (Losses) Gains
Fiscal Year Ended January 1, 2021 Compared With Four Quarters Ended January 3, 2020: Business divestiture-related (losses) gains for fiscal 2020 and the four quarters ended January 3, 2020 on a pro forma basis included the same items as noted above for fiscal 2020 and the four quarters ended January 3, 2020 on an as reported basis.

Non-Operating Income
Fiscal Year Ended January 1, 2021 Compared With Four Quarters Ended January 3, 2020: The increase in non-operating income for fiscal 2020 compared with pro forma non-operating income for the four quarters ended January 3, 2020 was primarily due to an increase in the non-service cost components of pension and other postretirement benefit plan income, partially offset by a $23 million gain on a pension plan curtailment in the four quarters ended January 3, 2020.
45

Two Quarters Ended January 3, 2020 Compared With Two Quarters Ended December 28, 2018: The increase in non-operating income for the two quarters ended January 3, 2020 compared with pro forma non-operating income for the two quarters ended December 28, 2018 was primarily due to an increase in the non-service cost components of pension and other postretirement benefit plan income, including a $23 million gain on a pension plan curtailment, in the two quarters ended January 3, 2020 and a $21 million debt extinguishment loss recognized by L3 in the two quarters ended December 28, 2018.

Discussion of Business Segment Results of Operations
For all periods presented in this Report, our three reportable operating segments are: Communications Systems; Electronic Systems; and Space and Intelligence Systems. As discussed above in this MD&A, effective for the Fiscal Transition Period (which began June 29, 2019), our segment reporting will be adjusted to reflect our new organizational structure. Our segment reporting for the Fiscal Transition Period will consist of the following four business segments: Integrated Mission Systems; Space and Airborne Systems; Communication Systems; and Aviation Systems. These adjustments to our segment reporting take effect in the Fiscal Transition Period and therefore do not affect the historical results, discussion or presentation of our business segments as set forth in this Report. We will begin to report our financial results consistent with this new segment reporting structure beginning with the fiscal quarter ending on September 27, 2019.

As Reported
Fiscal 2019Year Ended January 1, 2021 Compared With Fiscal 2018:Four Quarters Ended January 3, 2020:  The increaseincreases in segment revenue, in fiscal 2019 compared with fiscal 2018 was primarily due to $192 million higher revenue in Tactical Communications, driven by DoD Tactical from a ramp up in DoD modernization programs, higher revenue in Public Safety and Professional Communications from state and federal agencies and $18 million higher revenue from the Harris Night Vision business.
The increase in segment gross margin in fiscal 2019 compared with fiscal 2018 was primarily attributable to the increase in revenue. Segment gross margin percentage decreased 1 percentage point in fiscal 2019 compared with fiscal 2018 due to the impact of a less favorable mix of program revenue and product sales, mostly offset by productivity savings. The increase in segment ESA expenses in fiscal 2019 compared with fiscal 2018 was primarily due to increased investments in R&D and bids and proposals. The decrease in segment ESA percentage in fiscal 2019 compared with fiscal 2018 was primarily due to management of expenses on higher revenue. The increase in segment operating income and comparability of segment operating income as a percentage of revenue (“operating margin percentage”) in fiscal 20192020 compared with fiscal 2018 reflected the combined effectsfour quarters ended January 3, 2020 were primarily due to the inclusion of L3 operations in segment operating results for the items discussed above regardingtwo quarters ended July 3, 2020 (but not for the comparable prior-year two quarters preceding the L3Harris Merger). Because the Integrated Mission Systems segment is almost entirely comprised of L3 businesses, comparison to the four quarters ended January 3, 2020 segment operating metrics is not meaningful. The funded backlog for this segment.segment was $6.3 billion at January 1, 2021 compared with $5.3 billion at January 3, 2020.
The percentage of this segment’s revenue that was derived from sales to U.S. Government customers, including foreign military sales funded through the U.S. Government, whether directly or through prime contractors, was approximately 4977 percent in fiscal 2019 compared with 48 percent in fiscal 2018.2020.
Fiscal 2018Two Quarters Ended January 3, 2020 Compared With Fiscal 2017:Two Quarters Ended December 28, 2018: The increasechanges in segment revenue, in fiscal 2018 compared with fiscal 2017 was primarily due to $138 million higher DoD tactical radio sales, reflecting readiness and modernization demand from the U.S. Army and U.S. Air Force, and higher Harris Night Vision business revenue primarily due to demand from the U.S. Army.
The increase in segment gross margin in fiscal 2018 compared with fiscal 2017 was primarily attributable to the increase in revenue. Segment gross margin percentage decreased 2 percentage points in fiscal 2018 compared with fiscal 2017 due to the impact of a less favorable mix of program revenue and product sales, mostly offset by productivity savings. The decreases in segment ESA expenses and ESA percentage in fiscal 2018 compared with fiscal 2017 was primarily due to cost containment, partially offset by higher employment costs. The increases in segment operating income and operating margin percentage in fiscal 2018the two quarters ended January 3, 2020 compared with fiscal 2017 reflected the combined effectstwo quarters ended December 28, 2018 were primarily due to the inclusion of L3 operations in segment operating results as a result of the items discussed above regardingL3Harris Merger during the two quarters ended January 3, 2020. Because the Integrated Mission Systems segment is almost entirely comprised of L3 businesses, comparison to prior year segment operating metrics is not meaningful. In the two quarters ended January 3, 2020, segment revenue also benefited from $213 million of revenue growth in ISR and growth in Electro Optical. The funded backlog for this segment.segment was $5.3 billion at January 3, 2020 compared with $5.4 billion at the beginning of the Fiscal Transition Period (primarily from backlog acquired on June 29, 2019 in connection with the L3Harris Merger).
The percentage of this segment’s revenue that was derived from sales to U.S. Government customers, including foreign military sales funded through the U.S. Government, whether directly or through prime contractors, was approximately 4875 percent in fiscal 2018 compared with 42 percent in fiscal 2017. the two quarters ended January 3, 2020.
As described in more detail in “Item 1. Business - Subsequent Events” of this Report, we expect to close the sale of the Harris Night Vision business during the third quarter of calendar year 2019.

The increases in segment operating income and operating margin percentage in fiscal 2020 compared with the four quarters ended January 3, 2020 were primarily due to operational excellence, integration benefits and cost management.
Additional Information on Known Trends and Uncertainties
Revenue and operating income in our Public Safety business sector has been, and we expect will continue to be, adversely impacted by COVID-related pressures on state and local government customers, including reduced staffing, limited remote work technology capabilities, significant reductions in near-term tax revenues and competing budget priorities. Revenue in our Public Safety business sector decreased by $84 million in fiscal 2020 compared with the four quarters ended January 3, 2020 and we expect a continued decrease in Public Safety revenue in early fiscal 2021 with stability and modest recovery later in the year; however, the ultimate extent of the COVID-related impact to our Public Safety business sector remains uncertain.
We expect to see growth and identify new opportunities in our Tactical Communications business sector, including international growth in the Middle East, Europe and Asia Pacific. We also expect modernization demand to continue to benefit both our Tactical Communications and Integrated Vision Systems business sectors.

As Reported
Fiscal Year Ended January 1, 2021 Compared With Four Quarters Ended January 3, 2020: The increase in segment revenue in fiscal 2020 compared with the four quarters ended January 3, 2020 was primarily due to the inclusion of L3 operations in segment operating results for the two quarters ended July 3, 2020 (but not for the comparable prior-year two quarters preceding the L3Harris Merger). Because the Aviation Systems segment is primarily comprised of L3 businesses, comparison to the four quarters ended January 3, 2020 segment operating metrics is not meaningful. The funded backlog for this segment was $3.0 billion at January 1, 2021 compared with $3.4 billion at January 3, 2020, reflecting a $380 million reduction from the divestiture of the airport security and automation business during the quarter ended July 3, 2020.
The segment operating loss in fiscal 2020 compared with segment operating income for the four quarters ended January 3, 2020 was primarily due to $635 million of non-cash charges for the impairment of goodwill and other assets, $18 million of restructuring charges and other exit costs recorded in fiscal 2020 in our Commercial Aviation Solutions reporting unit due to the downturn in the commercial aviation market, as well as the divestiture of the airport security and automation business, partially offset by the inclusion of L3 operations in segment operating results for the two quarters ended July 3, 2020 (but not for the comparable prior-year two quarters preceding the L3Harris Merger), principally Defense Aviation operations.
The percentage of this segment’s revenue that was derived from sales to U.S. Government customers, including foreign military sales funded through the U.S. Government, whether directly or through prime contractors, was 71 percent in fiscal 2020.
Two quarters ended January 3, 2020 Compared With Two quarters ended December 28, 2018: The increases in segment revenue, operating income and operating margin percentage in the two quarters ended January 3, 2020 compared with the two quarters ended December 28, 2018 were primarily due to the inclusion of L3 operations in segment operating results as a result of

the L3Harris Merger during the two quarters ended January 3, 2020. Because the Aviation Systems segment is primarily comprised of L3 businesses, comparison to the two quarters ended December 28, 2018 segment operating metrics is not meaningful. In the two quarters ended January 3, 2020, segment revenue also reflected growth from precision engagement sensors and 2017.systems and $24 million of higher revenue in Mission Networks, partially offset by a $50 million revenue impact from the prior period competitive loss of the C-17 training contract. The funded backlog for this segment was $3.4 billion at January 3, 2020 compared with $3.1 billion at the beginning of the Fiscal Transition Period (including backlog acquired on June 29, 2019 in connection with the L3Harris Merger).
The percentage of this segment’s revenue that was derived from sales to U.S. Government customers, including foreign military sales funded through the U.S. Government, whether directly or through prime contractors, was 59 percent in the two quarters ended January 3, 2020.
Pro Forma
Fiscal Year Ended January 1, 2021 Compared With Four Quarters Ended January 3, 2020: The decrease in segment revenue in fiscal 2020 compared with the four quarters ended January 3, 2020 was primarily due to $681 million of lower commercial aviation sales, including a $364 million impact from the airport security and automation business divestiture and lower revenue from the downturn in the commercial aviation market and its impact on customer operations, partially offset by $189 million of higher revenue in Defense Aviation, from a ramp on classified programs and combat propulsion systems, and higher FAA volume in Mission Networks.
The segment operating loss in fiscal 2020 compared with segment operating income for the four quarters ended January 3, 2020 was primarily due to $635 million of non-cash charges for impairment of goodwill and other assets, $18 million of restructuring charges and other exit costs recorded in fiscal 2020 in our Commercial Aviation Solutions reporting unit due to the downturn in the commercial aviation market and its impact on customer operations, as well as a $39 million impact from the divestiture of the airport security and automation business, partially offset by operational efficiencies, integration benefits and cost management in fiscal 2020.
Additional Information on Known Trends and Uncertainties
Revenue and operating income from our Commercial Aviation Solutions reporting unit declined for 2020 due to decreased commercial training and commercial avionics sales volume, reflecting COVID and its impact on global air traffic and customer operations. On a pro forma basis, revenue in our Commercial Aviation Solutions reporting unit decreased by $317 million in fiscal 2020 compared with the four quarters ended January 3, 2020, primarily due to COVID-related impacts. We expect a continued decline in revenue in our commercial aviation businesses in early fiscal 2021 with stability and modest recovery later in the year; however, the ultimate duration and extent of COVID-related impacts to these businesses remains uncertain. In addition, the divestiture of our airport security and automation business on May 4, 2020 decreased segment revenue and operating income in calendar year fiscal 2020 compared with the four quarters ended January 3, 2020. Customer revenue from the airport security and automation business through the date of divestiture was $147 million compared with $495 million for the four quarters ended January 3, 2020 on a pro forma basis.

We ended fiscal 20192020 with cash and cash equivalents of $530$1,276 million, and we have a senior unsecured $2 billion revolving credit facility that expires in June 2024 ($1.9 billion(all of which was available to us as of June 28, 2019 as a result of $100 million of short-term debt outstanding under our commercial paper program)January 1, 2021). Additionally, we had $2.8$6.9 billion of net long-term debt outstanding at June 28, 2019,January 1, 2021, the majority of which we incurred in connection with our the L3Harris Merger in the Fiscal Transition Period and the acquisition of Exelis in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015. For further information regarding our long-term debt, see Note 13:14: Debtand Note 26: Subsequent Events in the Notes. Our $530$1,276 million of cash and cash equivalents at June 28, 2019January 1, 2021 included $188$296 million held by our foreign subsidiaries, a significant portion of which $108 million is considered permanently reinvested. Determining the future tax cost of repatriating such fundswe believe can be repatriated to the U.S. is not practical at this time. However, we have no current plans to repatriate such funds.with minimal tax cost.
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 our current level of debt, U.S. Government budget uncertainties and the state of global commerce and general political and financial uncertainty. We cannot predict the impact that COVID, among other potential risks and uncertainties, will have on our cash from operations. For further information regarding COVID-related risks and uncertainties, see Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in this Report.
We also currentlyBased on our current business plan and revenue prospects, we believe that our 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, repurchases under our share repurchase program and repayments of our debt securities at maturity for the next 12twelve months and reasonably foreseeable future thereafter. Our total capital expenditures for the Fiscal Transition Periodfiscal 2021 are expected to be approximately $190$375 million. We anticipate tax payments for the Fiscal Transition Periodfiscal 2021 to be approximately equal to or marginally less than our tax expense for the same period, subject to adjustment for certain timing differences. For additional information regarding our income taxes, see Note 22:23: Income Taxes in the Notes. Other than those cash outlays noted in the “Contractual Obligations” discussion below in this MD&A, (including repayment at maturity of the entire $400 million principal amount of our 2.700% Notes due April 27, 2020 and $250 million of our Floating Rate Notes due April 30, 2020), capital expenditures, dividend payments, repurchases under our share repurchase program and L3Harris Merger-related transaction and integration costs, and cash payments to counterparties upon termination of yield-based treasury lock agreements (see Note 19: Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities in the Notes for additional information regarding derivative instruments), we do not anticipate any significant cash outlays in fiscal 2021. For additional information regarding potential repurchases of our common stock, see Note 28: Subsequent Events in the Fiscal Transition Period.Notes. For further information regarding COVID-related risks and uncertainties, see Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in this Report.
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 andor capital markets disruptions. For example, the commercial paper market was temporarily disrupted in March 2020 as a result of COVID, and although commercial paper markets are currently functioning in a normal manner, depending on future market conditions and volatility, commercial paper may not be available on favorable terms or at all, or in the capacity desired. If we are unable to maintain cash balances, or generate sufficient cash flow from operations or borrow under our commercial paper program or our credit facility sufficient 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
56

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 other markets we serve and to general economic, political, financial, competitive, legislative and regulatory factors beyond our control.
Net cash provided by operating activities: The $434$1,135 million increase in net cash provided by operating activities in fiscal 20192020 compared with the four quarters ended January 3, 2020 was primarily due to the impact of higher income (excluding the impacts of a $721 million increase in non-cash impairments of goodwill and other assets and $461 million increase in depreciation and amortization in fiscal 2020), reflecting the inclusion of cash flows from L3 operations following the L3Harris Merger, as well as a $302 million voluntary contribution to our U.S. qualified pension plans and $278 million of cash used for L3Harris Merger transaction costs, including change in control charges, in the four quarters ended January 3, 2020, partially offset by a $306 million increase in cash used to fund working capital in fiscal 2020.

Thepre-tax gain on sale of business, $182 million increase in net cash provided by operating activities in fiscal 2018 compared with fiscal 2017 was primarily due to a $288 million decrease in cash used for qualified pension plan contributions, partially offset by a $104 million increase innet cash used to fund working capital net of lower cash paid for income taxes. The increaseand $157 million more in cash used to fund working capital included $33share-based compensation, partially offset by $328 million associated with our discontinued operations that were includedmore in qualified pension contributions, including a $302 million voluntary contribution, in the first threetwo quarters of fiscal 2017.ended January 3, 2020.

Funding of Pension Plans
Funding requirements under applicable laws and regulations are a major consideration in making contributions to our U.S. pension plans. Although we have significant discretion in making voluntary contributions, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended by the Pension Protection Act of 2006 and further amended by the Worker, Retiree, and Employer Recovery Act of 2008, the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (“MAP-21”) and applicable Internal Revenue Code regulations mandate minimum funding thresholds. Failure to satisfy the minimum funding thresholds could result in restrictions on our ability to amend the plan or make benefit payments. With respect to our U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plans, we intend to contribute annually not less than the required minimum funding thresholds.
The Highway and Transportation Funding Act of 2014 and the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015 further extended the interest rate stabilization provision of MAP-21 until 2020. We made a $302 million voluntary contributionscontribution to our U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plans in the two quarters ended January 3, 2020. As a result of this voluntary contribution, as well as $300 million and $400 million to our U.S. qualified pension plans duringof voluntary contributions in fiscal 2018 and 2017, respectively. As a result,respectively, we didare not required to make any contributions to our U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plans and only minor contributions to our non-U.S. pension plan in fiscal 2019. In addition to the anticipated voluntary contributions to L3Harris pension plans from the proceeds from the pending divestiture of the Harris Night Vision business disclosed in Note 26: Subsequent Events in the Notes, we currently anticipate making $2 million of contributions to Harris U.S. qualified pension plans2021 and $23 million of contributions to L3 U.S. qualified pension plans during the Fiscal Transition Period.for several years thereafter.
Future required contributions primarily will depend on the actual annual return on assets and the discount rate used to measure the benefit obligation at the end of each year. Depending on these factors, and the resulting funded status of our pension
57

plans, the level of future statutory required minimum contributions could be material. We had net unfunded defined benefit pension plan obligations of approximately $1,174 million$1.8 billion as of June 28, 2019January 1, 2021 compared with approximately $714 million$1.7 billion as of June 29, 2018. This 64 percent increase in net unfunded defined benefit plan obligations was primarily due to a lower discount rate.January 3, 2020. See Note 14:15: Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits in the Notes for further information regarding our defined benefit pension plans.
Common Stock Repurchases

We have announced that we currently expect to repurchase up to $2.3 billion in shares under our repurchase program in fiscal 2021, exclusive of any proceeds from divestitures we may complete, but we can give no assurances regarding the level and timing of shares repurchases. The level and timing 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 Directorsand management 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.

Contributions beyond the next twelve monthsfiscal 2021 have not been determined. During the two quarters ended January 3, 2020, we made voluntary contributions of $302 million to our U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plans. As a result of this voluntary contribution, as well as $700 million of voluntary contributions made in fiscal 2018 and 2017, we made voluntaryno material contributions of $700 million to our U.S. qualified pension plans. In addition to the anticipated voluntary contribution to L3Harrisdefined benefit pension plans disclosed in Note 26: Subsequent Events in the Notes, we currently anticipate making $2 million offiscal 2020 and are not required to make any contributions to Harris U.S. qualified pension plans and $23 million of contributions to L3 U.S. qualified pensionthese plans during the Fiscal Transition Period.fiscal 2021.

Following the completion of the L3Harris Merger, our contractual cash obligations significantly increased.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
In accordance with the definition under SEC rules, any of the following qualify as off-balance sheet arrangements:
59

•Any obligation under certain guarantee contracts;
•A retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to an unconsolidated 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, underarising out of a material variable interest in an unconsolidated entity that is held by, and material to, the registrant, where such entity provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit risk support to the registrant, or engages in leasing, hedging or R&D services with the registrant.
As of June 28, 2019,January 1, 2021, we were not participating in any material transactions that generated relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, including variable interest entities, and we did not have any material retained or contingent interest in assets as defined above. As of June 28, 2019,January 1, 2021, we did not have material financial guarantees or other contractual commitments that are reasonably likely to adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows or equity, and we were not a party to any related party transactions that materially affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or cash flows.equity.
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 financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or cash flows.equity.
Due to our downsizing of certain operations pursuant to acquisitions, divestitures, restructuring plans or otherwise, certain properties leased by us have been sublet to third parties. If 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 sublesseessub lessees is individually and in the aggregate not material to our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or cash flows.

Commercial Commitments
We have entered into commercial commitments in the normal course of business including surety bonds, standby letter of credit agreements and other arrangements with financial institutions and customers primarily relating to the guarantee of future performance on certain contracts to provide products and services to customers or to obtain insurance policies with our insurance carriers. At June 28, 2019,January 1, 2021, we had commercial commitments on outstanding surety bonds, standby letters of credit and other arrangements, as follows:

The surety bonds and standby letters of credit used for performance are primarily related to our Public Safety and Professional Communications.business sector. As is customary in bidding for and completing network infrastructure projects for public safety systems, contractors are required to procure surety bonds and/or standby letters of credit for bids, performance, warranty and other purposes (collectively, “Performance Bonds”). Such Performance Bonds normally have maturities of up to three years and are standard in the industry as a way to provide customers a mechanism to seek redress if a contractor does not satisfy performance requirements under a contract. Typically, a customer is permitted to draw on a Performance Bond if we do not fulfill all terms of a project contract. In such an event, we would be obligated to reimburse the financial institution that issued the Performance Bond for the amounts paid. It has been rare for our Public Safety and Professional Communications business sector to have a Performance Bond drawn upon. In addition, pursuant to the terms under which we procure Performance Bonds, if our credit ratings are lowered to below “investment grade,” we may be required to provide collateral to support a portion of the outstanding amount of Performance Bonds. Such a downgrade could
60

increase the cost of the issuance of Performance Bonds and could make it more difficult to procure Performance Bonds, which would adversely impact our ability to compete for contract awards. Such collateral requirements could also result in less liquidity for other operational needs or corporate purposes. In addition, any future disruptions, uncertainty or volatility in financial and insurance markets could also adversely affect our ability to obtain Performance Bonds and may result in higher funding costs.
Financial Risk Management
In the normal course of business, we are exposed to 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: Our U.S. and foreign businesses enter into contracts with customers, subcontractors or vendors that are denominated in currencies other than functional currencies of such businesses. 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 June 28, 2019January 1, 2021 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 19:20: Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities in the Notes for additional information.
Interest Rates: As of June 28, 2019,January 1, 2021, we had long-term fixed-rate debt obligations. The fair value of these obligations is impacted by changes in interest rates; however, a 10 percent change in interest rates for our long-term fixed-rate debt obligations at June 28, 2019January 1, 2021 would not have had a material impact on the fair value of these obligations. There is no interest-rate risk associated with long-term fixed-rate debt obligations on our results of operations and cash flows unless existing obligations are refinanced upon maturity at then-current interest rates, because the interest rates are fixed until maturity, and because our long-term fixed-rate debt is not putable to us (i.e., not required to be redeemed by us prior to maturity). 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 fixed-rate debt obligations over the next twelve months. See Note 13:14: Debt in the Notes for information regarding the maturities of our long-term fixed-rate debt obligations.
We use derivative instruments from time to time to manage our exposure to interest rate risk associated with our anticipated issuance of new long-term fixed-rate notes to repay at maturity our existing long-term fixed-rate debt obligations. If the derivative instrument is designated as a cash flow hedge, gains and losses from changes in the fair value of such instrument are deferred and included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss and reclassified to interest expense in the period in which the hedged transaction affects earnings. See Note 19:20: Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities in the Notes for additional information.
AsAt January 1, 2021, we had no outstanding treasury lock agreements (“treasury locks”). In connection with the L3Harris Merger, we assumed two treasury locks that had been initiated in January 2019 to hedge against fluctuations in interest payments due to changes in the benchmark interest rate (10-year U.S. Treasury rate) associated with the anticipated issuance of June 28, 2019,debt to redeem or repay our 4.95% 2021 Notes. These treasury locks were terminated as planned in connection with our issuance of our 1.80% 2031 Notes during the fourth quarter of 2020, and because interest rates decreased during the period of the treasury locks, we made a $113 million cash payment to our counterparty and recorded an after-tax loss of $58 million in the “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” line item of our Consolidated Balance Sheet. The accumulated other comprehensive loss balance will be amortized to interest expense over the life of the 1.80% 2031 Notes. We classified the cash outflow from the termination of these treasury locks as cash used in financing activities in our Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. See Note 20: Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities in the Notes for additional information.
At January 1, 2021, we also had long-term variable-rate debt obligations of $250 million of Floating Rate Notes due April 30, 2020.March 10, 2023. These debt obligations bear interest that is variable based on certain short-term indices, thus exposing us to interest-rate risk; however, a 10 percent change in interest rates for these debt obligations at June 28, 2019January 1, 2021 would not have had a material impact on our results of operations or cash flows. See Note 13:14: Debt in the Notes for further information.
As of June 28, 2019, weWe have also hadused short-term variable-rate debt outstanding,borrowings, primarily under our commercial paper program, which are 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 such debt on our results of operations and cash flows is not material due to its temporary nature.

Impact of Foreign Exchange
Approximately 18In fiscal 2020, 32 percent of our international business was transacted in local currency environments compared with 40 percent in the two quarters ended January 3, 2020, 18 percent in fiscal 2019 compared withand 22 percent in fiscal 2018. The impact of translating the assets and liabilities of these operations to U.S. dollarsDollars is included as a component of shareholders’ equity. As of June 28, 2019,January 1, 2021, the cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment included in shareholders’ equity was a $106$58 million loss compared with a $99$81 million loss at June 29, 2018.January 3, 2020. We utilize foreign currency hedging instruments to minimize the currency risk of international transactions. Gains and losses resulting from currency rate fluctuations did not have a material effect on our results in fiscal 2020, the two quarters ended January 3, 2020 or fiscal 2019 2018 or 2017.2018.
Impact of Inflation
To the extent feasible, we have consistently followed the practice of adjusting our prices to reflect the impact of inflation on salaries and fringe benefits for employees and the cost of purchased materials and services. Inflation and changing prices did not materially adversely impact our gross margin, revenue or operating income in fiscal 2020, the two quarters ended January 3, 2020 or fiscal 2019 2018 or 2017.2018.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
The following is not intended to be a comprehensive list of our accounting policies or estimates. Our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 1: Significant Accounting Policies in the Notes. In preparing our financial statements and accounting for the underlying transactions and balances, we apply our accounting policies and estimates as disclosed in the Notes. We consider the policies and estimates discussed below as critical to an understanding of our financial statements because their application places the most significant demands on our judgment, with financial reporting results dependent on estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods. Specific risks for these critical accounting estimates are described in the following paragraphs. The impact and any associated risks related to these estimates on our business operations are discussed throughout this MD&A where such estimates affect our reported and expected financial results. Senior management has discussed the development and selection of the critical accounting policies and estimates and the related disclosure included herein with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors. Preparation of this Report requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and backlog as well as disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
Besides estimates that meet the “critical” accounting estimate criteria, we make many other accounting estimates in preparing our financial statements and related disclosures. All estimates, whether or not deemed “critical,” affect reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses as well as disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. Estimates are based on experience and other information available prior to the issuance of the financial statements. Materially different results can occur as circumstances change and additional information becomes known, including for estimates that we do not deem “critical.”
Effective June 30, 2018, we adopted ASC 606, a new revenue recognition standard under which revenue is recognized as control transfers to the customer. The guidance in this standard is principles-based, and, consequently, entities are 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. Under ASC 606, revenue for our contracts is generally recognized over time using the cost-to-cost method, which is consistent with the revenue recognition model we used for the majority of our contracts prior to the adoption of this standard. In most cases, the accounting for contracts where we previously recognized revenue as units were delivered has changed under

ASC 606 such that we now recognize revenue as costs are incurred. In addition, for certain of our contracts, there is a change in the number of performance obligations under ASC 606, which has altered the timing of revenue and margin recognition. See Note 1: Significant Accounting Policies in the Notes for a description of our updated revenue recognition accounting policies and other significant accounting policies updated in connection with our adoption of ASC 606.
Revenue Recognition
A significant portion of our business is derived from development and production contracts. Revenue and profit related to development and production contracts are generally recognized over time, typically using the percentage of completion (“POC”) cost-to-cost method of revenue recognition, whereby we measure our progress towardtowards completion of the performance obligationsobligation based on the ratio of costs incurred to date to estimated costs at completion under the contract. Because costs incurred represent work performed, we believe this method best depicts the transfer of control of the asset to the customer. We determine the transaction price for each contract based on our best estimate of the consideration we expect to receive, and this includes assumptions regarding variable consideration, such as award and incentive fees. These variable amounts generally are awarded upon achievement of certain negotiated performance metrics, program milestones or cost targets and can be based upon customer discretion. We include such estimated amounts in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved.
Under the POC cost-to-cost method of revenue recognition, a single estimated profit margin is used to recognize profit for each performance obligation over its period of performance. Recognition of profit on a contract requires estimates of the total cost at completion and transaction price and the measurement of progress towards completion. Due to the long-term nature of many of our contracts, developing the estimated total cost at completion and total transaction price 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 and the risk and impact of delayed performance. Factors that must be considered in estimating the total transaction price include contractual cost or performance incentives (such as incentive fees, award fees and penalties) and other forms of variable consideration as well as our historical experience and our expectation for performance on the contract. These variable amounts generally are awarded upon achievement of certain negotiated performance metrics, program milestones or cost targets and can be based upon customer discretion. We include such estimated amounts in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved.
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 Estimateestimate at Completioncompletion (“EAC”) process in which we review the progress and performance on our ongoing 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
62

are not successful in retiring these risks, we may increase our estimated total cost at completion. Additionally, as the contract progresses, our estimates of total transaction price may increase or decrease if, for example, we receive award fees that are higher or lower than expected award fees.expected. When adjustments in estimated total costs at completion or in estimated total transaction price are determined, the related impact on 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. Any anticipated losses on these contracts are fully recognized in the period in which the losses become evident.
EAC adjustments had the following impacts to operating income for the periods presented:

There were no individual impacts to operating income due to EAC adjustments in fiscal 2020, the two quarters ended January 3, 2020 or fiscal 2019 2018 or 20172018 that were material to our results of operations on a consolidated or segment basis for such periods.
We also recognize revenue from numerous contracts with multiple performance obligations. For these contracts, we allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation based on the relative standalone selling price of the good or service underlying each performance obligation. The standalone selling price represents the amount for which we would sell the good or service to a customer on a standalone basis (i.e., not sold as bundled sale with any other products or services). The allocation of transaction price among separate performance obligations may impact the timing of revenue recognition but will not change the total revenue recognized on the contract. Our
A substantial majority of our revenue is derived from contracts with the U.S. Government, including foreign military sales contracts. These contracts are subject to the FAR and the prices of our contract deliverables are typically based on our estimated or actual costs plus a reasonable profit margin. As a result, the standalone selling prices of the goods and services in these contracts are typically equal to the selling prices stated in the contract, thereby eliminating the need to allocate (or reallocate) the transaction price to the multiple performance obligations. In our non-U.S. Government contracts, when standalone selling prices are not directly observable, we also generally use the expected cost plus a margin approach to determine standalone selling price. In addition, we determine standalone selling price for certain contracts that are commercial in nature based on observable selling prices. In determining the appropriate margin under the cost plus

margin approach, we consider historical margins on similar products sold to similar customers or within similar geographies where objective evidence is available. We may also consider our cost structure and pricingprofit objectives, the nature of the proposal, the effects of customization of pricing, our practices used to establish pricing of bundled products, the expected technological life of the product, margins earned on similar contracts with different customers and other factors to determine the appropriate margin.
Postretirement Benefit Plans
FormerExelisCertain of our current and former employees participate in numerous defined benefit pension and other postretirement defined benefit plans (collectively, referred to as “defined benefit plans”) in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom and Germany, which are sponsored by L3Harris. The determination of projected benefit obligations and the recognition of expenses related to defined benefit pension plans are dependent on various assumptions. These major assumptions primarily relate to discount rates, long-term expected rates of return on plan assets, rate of future compensation increases, mortality, termination and other factors (some of which are disclosed in Note 14:15: Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits in the Notes). Actual results that differ from our assumptions are accumulated and generally amortized for each plan to the extent required over the estimated future life expectancy or, if applicable, the future working lifetime of the plan’s active participants.
As part of our accounting for the L3Harris Merger, we completed a valuation and re-measurement of all L3 pension and other postretirement benefit (“OPEB”) plans as of the June 29, 2019 closing date of the L3Harris Merger and we recorded a $233 million increase to L3’s pension and OPEB liability as of June 29, 2019 based on the results of this valuation. The total L3 pension and OPEB liability assumed by L3Harris was $1.4 billion at June 29, 2019. The discount rate assumption used was a yield curve rather than a single interest rate. For the pension plans, the average June 29, 2019 discount rate used was 3.54 percent for U.S. plans and 2.95 percent for Canadian plans. For OPEB plans, the average June 29, 2019 discount rate used was 3.31 percent for U.S. plans and 2.92 percent for Canadian plans.
Significant Assumptions
Assumptions. We develop assumptions using relevant experience, in conjunction with market-related data for each plan. Assumptions are reviewed annually with third party consultants and adjusted as appropriate. The table included below provides the weighted average assumptions used to estimate projected benefit obligations and net periodic benefit cost as they pertain to our defined benefit pension plans.

Expected Return on Plan Assets
Assets.Substantially all of our plan assets are managed on a commingled basis in a master investment trust. We determine our expected return on plan assets by evaluating both historical returns and estimates of future returns. Specifically, we consider the plan’s actual historical annual return on assets over the past 15, 20 and 25 years and historical broad market returns over long-term time frames based on our strategic allocation, which is detailed in Note 14:15: Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits in the Notes. Future returns are based on independent estimates of long-term asset class returns. Based on this approach, the weighted average long-term annual rate of return on assets was estimated at 7.66%to be 7.68% for each of fiscal 20192020 and 2018.is estimated to be 25 basis points lower for fiscal 2021.
Discount Rate
Rate.The discount rate is used to calculate the present value of expected future benefit payments at the measurement date. A decrease in the discount rate increases the present value of benefit obligations and generally decreases pension expense. The discount rate assumption is based on current investment yields of high-quality fixed income investments during the retirement benefits maturity period. The pension discount rate is determined by considering an interest rate yield curve comprising AAA/AA bonds, with maturities between zero and thirty years, developed by the plan’s actuaries. Annual benefit payments are then discounted to present value using this yield curve to develop a single discount rate matching the plan’s characteristics.
Sensitivity Analysis
Pension Expense
Expense.A 25 basis point change in the long-term expected rate of return on plan assets and discount rate would have the following effect on the combined U.S. defined benefit pension plans’ pension expense for the next twelve months:

 $(2.6)
Projected Benefit Obligation
Obligation.Funded status is derived by subtracting the respective year-end values of the projected benefit obligations (“PBO”) from the fair value of plan assets. The sensitivity of the PBO to changes in the discount rate varies depending on the magnitude and direction of the change in the discount rate. We estimate that a decrease of 25 basis points in the discount rate of the combined U.S. defined benefit pension plans would increase the PBO by approximately $160$320 million and an increase of 25 basis points would decrease the PBO by approximately $153$303 million.
Fair Value of Plan Assets
Assets. The plan assets of our defined benefit plans comprise a broad range of investments, including domestic and international equity securities, fixed income investments, interests in private equity and hedge funds and cash and cash equivalents.
A portion of our defined benefit plans asset portfolio is comprised of investments in private equity and hedge funds. The private equity and hedge fund investments are generally measured using the valuation of the underlying investments or at net asset value. However, in certain instances, the values reported by the asset managers were not current at the measurement date. Consequently, we have estimated adjustments to the last reported value where necessary to measure the assets at fair value at the
64

measurement date. These adjustments consider information received from the asset managers, as well as general market information. Asset values for other positions were generally measured using market observable prices. See Note 14:15: Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits in the Notes for further information.
Provisions for Excess and Obsolete Inventory Losses
We value our inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value. We balance the need to maintain prudent inventory levels to ensure competitive delivery performance with the risk of excess or obsolete inventory due to changing technology and customer requirements. We regularly review inventory quantities on hand and record a provision for excess and obsolete inventory primarily based on our estimated forecast of product demand, anticipated end of product life and production requirements. The review of excess and obsolete inventory applies to all of our business segments. Several factors may influence the sale and use of our inventories, including our decision to exit a product line, technological change and new product development. These factors could result in a change in the amount of obsolete inventory quantities on hand. Additionally, our estimates of future product demand may prove to be inaccurate, in which case we may have understated or overstated the provision required for excess and obsolete inventory. In the future, if we determine that our inventory is overvalued, we would be required to recognize such costs in the “Cost of product sales” line item in our Consolidated Statement of Income at the time of such determination. In the case of goods that have been written down below cost, such reduced amount is to be considered the cost for subsequent accounting purposes. We have not made any material changes in the reserve methodology used to establish our inventory loss reserves during the past three fiscal years.
As of June 28, 2019, our reserve for excess and obsolete inventory was $73 million, or 17 percent of our gross inventory balance, which compares with our reserve of $66 million, or 14 percent of our gross inventory balance, as of June 29, 2018. Although we make reasonable efforts to ensure the accuracy of our forecasts of future product demand, including the impact of planned future product launches, any significant unanticipated changes in demand or technological developments could have a significant impact on the value of our inventory and our reported operating results.
Goodwill
Goodwill in our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 28, 2019January 1, 2021 and June 29, 2018January 3, 2020 was $5,340 million$18.9 billion and $5,372 million,$20.0 billion, respectively. Goodwill is not amortized. We perform annual (or under certain circumstances, more frequent) impairment tests of our goodwill. We identify potential impairment by comparing the fair value of each of our reporting units with its carrying amount, including goodwill, which is adjusted for allocations of Corporate assets and liabilities as appropriate. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is considered not impaired. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess.
Harris Night VisionL3Harris Merger Goodwill Allocation. As discussed in more detail in Note 25: Business Segments in the Notes, after the completion of the L3Harris Merger, we adjusted our segment reporting to reflect our new organizational structure effective June 29, 2019. 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. See Note 5: Business Combination and Note 10: Goodwill in the Notes for additional information.
Airport Security and Automation Business Goodwill Allocation. As described in more detail in Note 3: Discontinued OperationsBusiness Divestitures and DivestituresAsset Sales in the Notes, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell our airport security and automation business on February 4, 2020 and completed the sale on May 4, 2020. Because the divestiture of the airport security and automation business represented the disposal of a portion of a reporting unit within our Aviation Systems segment, we assigned $531 million of goodwill to the airport security and automation business disposal group on a relative fair value basis. In conjunction with the relative fair value allocation, we tested goodwill assigned to the airport security and automation business disposal group and goodwill assigned to the retained businesses of the reporting unit for impairment and concluded that no goodwill impairment existed at the time the held for sale criteria were met in late January 2020.
EOTech Business Goodwill Allocation. As described in more detail in Note 3: Business Divestitures and Asset Sales in the Notes, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell our EOTech business on March 20, 2020 and completed the sale on July 31, 2020. Because the divestiture of the EOTech business represented the disposal of a portion of a reporting unit within our Communication Systems segment, we assigned $9 million of goodwill to the EOTech business disposal group on a relative fair value basis. In conjunction with the relative fair value allocation, we tested goodwill assigned to the EOTech business disposal group and goodwill assigned to the retained businesses of the reporting unit for impairment and concluded that no goodwill impairment existed.
VSE Disposal Group Goodwill Allocation and Impairment. As described in more detail in Note 26: Subsequent Events3: Business Divestitures and Asset Sales in the Notes, during the second quarter of fiscal 2020, we determined the criteria to be classified as held for sale were met with respect to certain portions of our Voice Switch Enterprise business that we planned to divest (“VSE disposal group”). The income before income taxes of the VSE disposal group was not material for fiscal 2020. Because the divestiture of the VSE disposal group represented the disposal of a portion of a reporting unit within our Aviation Systems segment, we assigned $14 million of goodwill to the VSE disposal group on a relative fair value basis. In conjunction with the relative fair value allocation, we tested goodwill assigned to the VSE disposal group and goodwill assigned to the retained businesses of the reporting unit for impairment and concluded that goodwill related to the VSE disposal group was impaired. As a result, we recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $14 million, which is included in the “Impairment of goodwill and other assets” line item in our Consolidated Statement of Income for fiscal 2020.
Harris Night Vision Goodwill Allocation.As described in more detail in Note 3: Business Divestitures and Asset Sales in the Notes, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell the Harris Night Vision business on April 4, 2019 and completed the sale on September 13, 2019. Because the pending divestiture of the Harris Night Vision business represented the disposal of a portion of a reporting unit within our Communicationsformer Communication System segment, we assigned $30 million of goodwill to the Harris Night Vision business disposal group on a

relative fair value basis duringbasis. In conjunction with the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019, when the held for sale criteria were met. Therelative fair value ofallocation, we tested goodwill assigned to the Harris Night Vision business disposal group wasand goodwill assigned to the retained businesses of the reporting unit for impairment and concluded that no goodwill impairment existed.
For purposes of allocating goodwill to the disposal groups above, we determined the fair value of each disposal group based on the respective negotiated selling price (or estimated net cash proceeds, in the case of no negotiated selling price), and the fair value of the retained businesses (which comprised the remaining portion of the respective reporting unit) was determinedunit based on a combination of market-based valuation techniques, utilizing quoted market prices and comparable publicly reported transactions, and projected discounted cash flows. These fair value determinations are categorized as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy due to their use of internal projections and unobservable measurement inputs. In conjunction with the relative fair value allocation, we tested goodwill assigned to the disposal group and goodwill assigned to the retained businesses for impairment, and we concluded that goodwill and other assets related to the Harris Night Vision business were not impaired as of June 28, 2019.

Fiscal 2020 Impairment Tests.We perform an annual impairment test of our goodwill as of the first day of our fourth quarter of each fiscal year, and more frequently if we entered intobelieve indicators of impairment exist. Following our fiscal year end change, we made a definitive agreementcorresponding change to sell IT Servicesour annual impairment assessment date and continued to perform our annual impairment test on January 26, 2017the first day of our fourth quarter, which for the Fiscal Transition Period was September 28, 2019 (the first day of the last quarter of the Fiscal Transition Period) and completedwas October 3, 2020 for fiscal 2020.
We test goodwill for impairment at a level within the sale on April 28, 2017. BecauseCompany referred to as the then-pending divestiture of IT Services represented the disposal of a portion of a reporting unit, withinwhich is our former Critical Networksbusiness segment we assigned $487 millionlevel or one level below the business segment. Some of our segments are comprised of several reporting units. Allocation of goodwill to several reporting units could make it more likely that we will have an impairment charge in the IT Services disposal groupfuture. An impairment charge to one of our reporting units could have a material impact on our financial condition and results of operations.
The process of evaluating the potential impairment of goodwill is highly subjective and requires significant judgment. To test goodwill for impairment, we may perform both qualitative and quantitative assessments. If we elect to perform a relative fair value basis duringqualitative assessment for a certain reporting unit, we evaluate events and circumstances impacting the third quarter of fiscal 2017, whenreporting unit to determine the held for sale criteria were met. The fair value of the IT Services disposal group was determined based on the negotiated selling price, andprobability that goodwill is impaired. If we determine it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of the retained businesses (which comprisedreporting unit is less than its carrying amount, we perform a quantitative assessment.
Our qualitative assessment of the remainingrecoverability of goodwill, whether performed annually or based on specific events or circumstances, considers various macroeconomic, industry-specific and company-specific factors. These factors include: (i) deterioration in the general economy; (ii) deterioration in the environment in which the company operates; (iii) increase in raw materials, labor or other costs; (iv) negative or declining cash flows; (v) changes in management, changes in strategy, or significant litigation; (vi) change in the composition or carrying amount of net assets or an expectation of disposing all or a portion of the reporting unit) was determined based onunit; or (vii) a combination of market-based valuation techniques, utilizing quoted market prices and comparable publicly reported transactions, and projected discounted cash flows. These fair value determinations are categorized as Level 3sustained decrease in share price.
If we perform a quantitative assessment for a certain reporting unit, we calculate the fair value hierarchy due to their use of internal projectionsthat reporting unit and unobservable measurement inputs. In conjunction withcompare the relative fair value allocation, we tested goodwill assigned to the disposal group and goodwill assigned to the retained businesses for impairment. As a result, we concluded, in connection with the preparation of our financial statements for the third quarter of fiscal 2017, that goodwill and other assets related to IT Services were impaired as of March 31, 2017, and we recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $240 million in discontinued operations, $228 million of which related to goodwill. The goodwill impairment charge was non-deductible for tax purposes.
Fiscal 2017, 2018 and 2019 Impairment Tests
reporting unit’s net book value. We estimate fair values of our reporting units based on projected cash flows, and sales and/or earnings multiples applied to the latest twelve months’ sales and earnings of our reporting units. Projected cash flows are based on our best estimate of future sales, operating costs and balance sheet metrics reflecting our view of the financial and market conditions of the underlying business; and the resulting cash flows are discounted using an appropriate discount rate that reflects the risk in the forecasted cash flows. The sales and earnings multiples applied to the sales and earnings of our reporting units are based on current multiples of sales and earnings for similar businesses, and based on sales and earnings multiples paid for recent acquisitions of similar businesses made in the marketplace. We then assess whether any implied control premium, based on a comparison of fair value based purely on our stock price and outstanding shares with fair value determined by using all of the above-described models, is reasonable.
Indications of potential impairment of goodwill related to our Commercial Aviation Solutions reporting unit (which is part of our Aviation Systems segment) were present at April 3, 2020 due to COVID and its impact on global air traffic and customer operations, resulting in a decrease in fiscal 2020 outlook for the reporting unit, which we considered to be a triggering event requiring an interim impairment test. Consequently, in connection with the preparation of our financial statements for the quarter ended April 3, 2020, we performed a quantitative impairment test. To test for potential impairment of goodwill related to our Commercial Aviation Solutions reporting unit, we prepared an estimate of the fair value of the reporting unit based on a combination of market-based valuation techniques, utilizing quoted market prices and comparable publicly reported transactions, and projected discounted cash flows. Given the level of uncertainty in the outlook for the commercial aviation industry caused by the impact of COVID on global air traffic, our methodology for determining the fair value of the reporting unit placed the greatest weight on the expected fair value technique, and was dependent on our best estimates of future sales, operating costs and balance sheet metrics under a range of scenarios for future economic conditions. We have not made any material changesassigned a probability to each scenario to calculate a set of probability-weighted projected cash flows, and an appropriate discount rate reflecting the risk in the projected cash flows was used to discount the expected cash flows to present value.
As a result of this impairment test, we concluded that goodwill related to our Commercial Aviation Solutions reporting unit was impaired as of April 3, 2020 and recorded non-cash goodwill impairment charges of $296 million in the first quarter of 2020.
As adverse global economic and market conditions attributable to COVID, including projected declines and subsequent recovery in commercial air traffic and original equipment manufacturer production volumes, continued to develop during fiscal 2020, we continued to monitor for facts and circumstances that could negatively impact key valuation assumptions in determining the fair value of our Commercial Aviation Solutions reporting unit, including recent valuations, expectations regarding the timing of a return to pre-COVID commercial flight activity and the associated level of uncertainty, long-term revenue and profitability projections, discount rates and general industry, market and macroeconomic conditions. As a result, we determined indications of further impairment of assets related to our Commercial Aviation Solutions reporting unit existed as of July 3, 2020 and again as of early December 2020 and recorded $54 million and $368 million of additional non-cash charges for the impairment of goodwill and other assets during the past three fiscal yearssecond and fourth quarters of 2020, respectively. These charges are included in the methodology used“Impairment of goodwill and other assets” line item in the assessmentour Consolidated Statement of whether orIncome for fiscal 2020 and are primarily not goodwill is impaired.deductible for

tax purposes.
We also performed our annual impairment teststest of all of our other reporting units goodwill as of October 3, 2020 and concluded that the estimated fair values for each of our other reporting units exceeded their carrying values by greater than 10 percent. As of January 1, 2021, the Commercial Aviation Solutions reporting unit has $847 million of goodwill and the estimated fair value approximates the carrying value of the reporting unit.
We are continuing to monitor the impacts of COVID on the fair value of our reporting units’ goodwill. units and do not currently anticipate any further material goodwill impairment charges as a result of COVID. However, an impairment of goodwill could result from a number of circumstances, including different assumptions used in determining the fair value of the reporting units, future deterioration in the business, including from the impact of COVID, or a sharp increase in interest rates without a corresponding increase in future revenue.
See Note 10: Goodwill in the Notes for additional information.
Accounting for Business Combinations
We completed these testsfollow the acquisition method of accounting to record identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed and noncontrolling interests recognized in connection with no adjustment required to the goodwill of any of our reporting units. Asacquired businesses at their estimated fair value as of the date of our fiscal 2019 impairment test,acquisition.
Identifiable intangible assets from business combinations are recognized at their estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition and generally consist of customer relationships, trade names, developed technology and in-process R&D. Determination of the estimated fair value of identifiable intangible assets requires judgment. The fair value of customer contractual relationships is determined based on estimates and judgments regarding future after-tax earnings and cash flows arising from follow-on sales on contract renewals expected from customer contractual relationships over their estimated lives, including the probability of expected future contract renewals and sales, less a contributory asset charge, all of which is discounted to present value. The fair value of trade name identifiable intangible assets is determined utilizing the relief from royalty method. Under this form of the income approach, a royalty rate based on observed market royalties is applied to projected revenue supporting the trade name and discounted to present value using an appropriate discount rate. Identifiable intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives are not amortized, but are subject to annual impairment testing. Finite-lived identifiable intangible assets are amortized to expense over their useful lives, generally ranging from three to twenty years. The fair value of identifiable intangible assets acquired in connection with the L3Harris Merger was $8.5 billion.
We assess the recoverability of finite-lived identifiable intangible assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. We evaluate the recoverability of such assets based on the expectations of undiscounted cash flows of the assets. If the sum of expected future undiscounted cash flows were less than the carrying amount of the asset, a loss would be recognized for each of our reporting units exceeded itsthe difference between the fair value and the carrying amount. See Note 5: Business Combination and Note 11: Intangible Assets in the Notes for additional information.
Income Taxes and Tax Valuation Allowances
We record the estimated future tax effects of temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and amounts reported in our Consolidated Balance Sheet, as well as operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. We follow very specific and detailed guidelines in each tax jurisdiction regarding the recoverability of any tax assets recorded on the balance sheet and provide necessary valuation allowances as required. Future realization of deferred tax assets ultimately depends on the existence of sufficient taxable income of the appropriate character (for example, ordinary income or capital gain) within the carryback or carryforward periods available under the tax law. We regularly review our deferred tax assets for recoverability based on historical taxable income, projected future taxable income, the expected timing of the reversals of existing temporary differences and tax planning strategies. We have not made any material changes in the methodologies used to determine our tax valuation allowances during fiscal 2020, the past threeFiscal Transition Period or the previous two fiscal years.
Our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 28, 2019January 1, 2021 included deferred tax assets of $173 million and deferred tax liabilities of $12 million. This compares with deferred tax assets of $119 million and deferred tax liabilities of $79$1.24 billion. This compares with deferred tax assets of $102 million and deferred tax liabilities of $1.48 billion as of June 29, 2018.January 3, 2020. For all jurisdictions for which we have net deferred tax assets, we expect that our existing levels of pre-tax earnings are sufficient to generate the amount of future taxable income needed to realize these tax assets. Our valuation allowance related to deferred income taxes, which is reflected in our Consolidated Balance Sheet, was $159$165 million as of June 28, 2019 and $181January 1, 2021 compared with $185 million as of June 29, 2018.January 3, 2020. Although we make reasonable efforts to ensure the accuracy of our deferred tax assets, if we continue to operate at a loss in certain jurisdictions or are unable to generate sufficient future taxable income, or if there is a material change in the actual effective tax rates or time period within which the underlying temporary differences become taxable or deductible, or if the potential impact of tax planning strategies changes, we could be required to

increase the valuation allowance against all or a significant portion of our deferred tax assets resulting in a substantial increase in our effective tax rate and a material adverse impact on our operating results.
The evaluation of tax positions taken in a filed tax return, or planned to be taken in a future tax return or claim, involves inherent uncertainty and requires the use of judgment. We evaluate our income tax positions and record tax benefits for all years
67

subject to examination based on our assessment of the facts and circumstances as of the reporting date. For tax positions where it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will be realized, we record the largest amount of tax benefit with a greater than 50 percent probability of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the applicable taxing authority, assuming the taxing authority has full knowledge of all relevant information. For income tax positions where it is not more likely than not that a tax benefit will be realized, we do not recognize a tax benefit in our Consolidated Financial Statements.
As of January 1, 2021, we had $542 million of unrecognized tax benefits, of which $453 million would favorably impact our future tax rates in the event that the tax benefits are eventually recognized. As of January 3, 2020, we had $438 million of unrecognized tax benefits, of which $313 million would favorably impact our future tax rates in the event that the tax benefits are eventually recognized.
It is reasonably possible that there could be a significant decrease or increase to our unrecognized tax benefits during the course of the next twelve months as ongoing tax examinations continue, other tax examinations commence or various statutes of limitations expire. However, an estimate of the range of possible changes cannot be made for remaining unrecognized tax benefits because of the significant number of jurisdictions in which we do business and the number of open tax periods. See Note 23: Income Taxes in the Notes for additional information.
Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 ITEM 7A.QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
In the normal course of 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. For a discussion of such policies and procedures and the related risks, see “Financial Risk Management” in “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of this Report, which is incorporated by reference into this Item 7A.
In addition, we are exposed to market return fluctuations on our defined benefit plans. A material adverse decline in the value of these assets and/or the discount rate for projected benefit obligations would result in a decrease in the funded status of the defined benefit plans, an increase in net periodic benefit cost and an increase in required funding. To protect against declines in the discount rate (i.e., interest rates), we will continue to monitor the performance of these assets and market conditions as we evaluate the amount of future contributions. For further information, see Note 14:15: Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits in the Notes, which information is incorporated by reference into this Item 7A.

MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL
OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
The management of L3Harris Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance, based on an appropriate cost-benefit analysis, regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 28, 2019.January 1, 2021.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at June 28, 2019January 1, 2021 and June 29, 2018,January 3, 2020 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended January 1, 2021, the two quarters ended January 3, 2020 and each of the threetwo years in the period ended June 28, 2019, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company’sCompany's internal control over financial reporting as of June 28, 2019,January 1, 2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework), and our report dated August 22, 2019March 1, 2021 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’sCompany's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Cost estimation for revenue recognition on development and production contracts
Description of the MatterAs described in Note 1 of the consolidated financial statements, the Company recognized revenue for certain of its development and production contracts over time, typically using a percentage of completion cost-to-cost method, which required estimates of the total cost to be incurred for each contract at completion. At the outset of the contract, the Company establishes an estimated total cost to complete, taking into consideration the complexity and perceived risks associated with the technical, schedule, and cost aspects of the contract. After establishing the estimated total cost to complete, the Company reviews the progress and performance on its ongoing development and production contracts at least quarterly and updates the estimated total cost to complete as needed. Such estimates are subject to change during the performance of the contract and significant changes in estimates could have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations. Auditing the cost estimation for development and production contracts involved subjective auditor judgment because the Company’s development of the estimated total cost at completion required estimates of the cost of the work to be completed based on the Company’s assumptions around achieving the technical, schedule and cost aspects of its development and production contracts. In determining the estimates of the cost of the work to be completed, the Company considered the nature and complexity of the work to be performed, subcontractor performance and the risk and impact of delayed performance. Estimates of total cost at completion were also affected by management’s assessment of the current status of the contract and expectation for performance on the contract, as well as historical experience.
How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit
We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of certain internal controls over the Company’s accounting for cost estimation for development and production contracts. For example, we tested certain controls over management’s review of the estimate at completion analyses and the significant assumptions underlying the estimated total costs to complete. We also tested certain of management’s controls to validate that the data used in the estimate at completion analyses was complete and accurate.
To test the cost estimation for development and production contracts, our audit procedures included, among others, obtaining an understanding of the contract, meeting with program management to confirm our understanding of the risks associated with the arrangement and the current contract performance, review of customer correspondence and contractual milestones, and comparing cost estimates to historical cost experience with similar contracts, when applicable. Additionally, we obtained an understanding of the Company’s past performance of estimating total costs to complete by reviewing changes in the cost estimates from previous periods and reviewing the overall accuracy of management’s cost to completion estimations through lookback analyses.

Valuation of Goodwill
Description of the Matter
At January 1, 2021, the Company’s goodwill was $19 billion. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company tests goodwill for impairment annually (or under certain circumstances, more frequently) at the reporting unit level using either a qualitative or quantitative approach. Under the quantitative approach to test for goodwill impairment, the Company compares the fair value of a reporting unit to its carrying amount, including goodwill. Generally, the Company estimates the fair value of its reporting units using a combination of a discounted cash flows analysis and market-based valuation methodologies.As further discussed in Note 10, during the year ended January 1, 2021, the Company recorded a $475 million goodwill impairment charge at a reporting unit within the Aviation Systems segment.

Auditing the Company’s quantitative goodwill impairment tests involved subjective auditor judgment due to the significant estimation required in management’s determination of the fair value of the reporting units. The significant estimation was primarily due to the sensitivity of the underlying assumptions including changes in the weighted average cost of capital, projected revenue growth rates, projected operating margins, and terminal growth rate. These assumptions relate to the expected future operating performance of the Company’s reporting units, are forward-looking, and are sensitive to and affected by economic, industry and company-specific qualitative factors.
How We Addressed the Matter in Our AuditWe obtained an understanding, evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of relevant internal controls over the Company’s goodwill impairment review process, including controls over management’s review of the valuation models and significant assumptions described above. We also tested management’s controls to validate that the data used in the valuation models was complete and accurate.

To test the estimated fair value of the Company’s reporting units, we performed audit procedures that included, among others, assessing the valuation methodologies used by the Company, involving our valuation specialists to assist in testing the significant assumptions discussed above, and testing the completeness and accuracy of the underlying data the Company used in its valuation analyses. For example, we compared the significant assumptions used by management to current industry, market and economic trends, the historical results of the reporting units, and other relevant factors. We also assessed the historical accuracy of management’s estimates and performed sensitivity analyses of significant assumptions used in the annual impairment test to evaluate the change in the fair value of the reporting unit resulting from changes in the significant assumptions.

In addition, we reviewed the reconciliation of the fair value of the reporting units based on the annual impairment test to the market capitalization of the Company.

We have served as the Company’s auditor since at least 1932, but we are unable to determine the specific year.

Basis for Opinion
The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulationregulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.
Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Definition and LimitationLimitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactiontransactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizationauthorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Unless otherwise specified, all disclosures in these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (“Notes”) relate to Harris Corporation as of June 28, 2019 and exclude any information related to and any potential impact that has resulted or may result from the L3Harris Merger (as described in Note 1: Significant Accounting Policies under “Principles of Consolidation” and Note 26: Subsequent Events).
NOTE 1: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization — L3Harris Technologies, Inc., together with its subsidiaries, is a leadingan agile global aerospace and defense technology innovator, solving customers’ toughest mission-critical challenges by providingdelivering end-to-end solutions that connect, informmeet customers’ mission-critical needs. We provide advanced defense and protect.commercial technologies across air, land, sea, space and cyber domains. We support government and commercial customers in more than 100 countries, with our largest customers being various departments and agencies of the U.S. Government and their prime contractors. Our products, systems and services have defense and civil government applications, as well as commercial applications. As of the end of fiscal 2019,January 1, 2021, we had approximately 18,20048,000 employees, including approximately 8,00019,000 engineers and scientists.
Principles of Consolidation — On October 12, 2018, Harris Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Harris”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with L3 Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“L3”), and Leopard Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and a newly formed, direct wholly owned subsidiary of Harris (“Merger Sub”), pursuant to which Harris and L3 agreed to combine their respective businesses in an all-stock merger, at the closing of which Merger Sub would merge with and into L3, with L3 continuing as the surviving corporation and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Harris (the “L3Harris Merger”).
The closing of the L3Harris Merger occurred on June 29, 2019 (“Closing Date”), after the end of Harris’ fiscal 2019 on June 28, 2019. Upon completion of the L3Harris Merger, Harris was renamed “L3Harris Technologies, Inc.” (“L3Harris”), and each share of L3 common stock converted into the right to receive 1.30 shares of L3Harris common stock. Shares of L3Harris common stock, which previously traded under ticker symbol “HRS” on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) prior to completion of the L3Harris Merger, are traded under ticker symbol “LHX” following completion of the L3Harris Merger. L3Harris was owned on a fully diluted basis approximately 54 percent by Harris shareholders and 46 percent by L3 shareholders immediately following the completion of the L3Harris Merger.
Because the L3Harris Merger closed after Harris’ fiscal 2019 ended, the preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) requires that ourOur Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of L3Harris Technologies, Inc. and most of the disclosureits consolidated subsidiaries. As used in these Notes be presented on a historical basis, as of or for the fiscal year ended June 28, 2019 (Harris’ fiscal 2019) or prior periods. Unless the context otherwise requires, the terms “we,” “our,” “us,” “Company” and “L3Harris” as used in this Report mean Harris Corporation and its subsidiaries (“Harris”) when referring to periods prior to the end of fiscal 2019 (prior to the L3Harris Merger) and to the combined company L3Harris Technologies, Inc., when referring to periods after the end of fiscal 2019 (after the L3Harris Merger).
The L3Harris Merger will be accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting, and Harris will be treated as the accounting acquirer. Under the acquisition method of accounting, we are required to allocate the purchase price to tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values at the Closing Date. The excess of the purchase price over those fair values is recorded as goodwill. Due to the timing of the merger, the initial accounting and valuation work was incomplete at the time these financial statements were issued. Other required disclosures will be provided once the initial accounting for the L3Harris Merger is complete. See Note 26: Subsequent Events for additional information related to the merger.
As part of the regulatory process in connection with the L3Harris Merger, we entered into a definitive agreement on April 4, 2019 to sell the Harris Night Vision business to Elbit Systems of America, LLC, a subsidiary of Elbit Systems Ltd., for $350 million in cash, subject to customary purchase price adjustments as set forth in the definitive agreement. The sale transaction was conditioned on completion of the L3Harris Merger, as well as customary closing conditions, including receipt of regulatory approvals. The Harris Night Vision business, which is reported as part of our Communication Systems Segment in this Report, is a global supplier of high-performance, vision-enhancing products for U.S. and allied military and security forces and commercial customers. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019, we received all necessary regulatory approvals for the L3Harris Merger and the assets and liabilities of the Harris Night Vision business were classified as held for sale in our Consolidated Balance Sheet at June 28, 2019. We expect to close the sale of the Harris Night Vision business during the third quarter of calendar year 2019 and use the proceeds from the sale to pre-fund L3Harris pension plans and return cash to shareholders.
See Note 3: Discontinued Operations and Divestitures for additional information related to divestitures, some of which were reported as discontinued operations in our Consolidated Financial Statements (these “Notes”), the terms “L3Harris,” “Company,” “we,” “our” and these Notes. Except for disclosures

related“us” refer to our cash flows, or unless otherwise specified, disclosures in the accompanying Consolidated Financial StatementsL3Harris Technologies, Inc. and these Notes relate solely to our continuing operations.its consolidated subsidiaries. Intracompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated.
Amounts contained in this Report may not always add to totals due to rounding.
L3Harris Merger — See Note 5: Business Combination in these Notes for information related to the business combination in which Harris Corporation (“Harris”) and L3 Technologies, Inc. (“L3”) combined their respective businesses in an all-stock merger that resulted in our combined Company, L3Harris Technologies, Inc.
Due to the L3Harris Merger (as defined in Note 5: Business Combination in these Notes), which closed on June 29, 2019, the fiscal year ended January 1, 2021 and two quarters ended January 3, 2020 reflect the results of the combined Company, while fiscal years ended June 28, 2019 and June 29, 2018 reflect the results of only Harris operating businesses.
Organizational Structure — We implemented a new organizational structure effective on June 29, 2019, which resulted in changes to our operating segments, which are also reportable segments and referred to as our business segments. During the quarter ended April 3, 2020, we further adjusted our segment reporting to better align our businesses and transferred 2 businesses between our Integrated Mission Systems and Space and Airborne Systems segments. The historical results, discussion and presentation of our business segments as set forth in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements and these Notes reflect the impact of these changes for all periods presented in order to present segment information on a comparable basis. There is no impact on our previously reported consolidated statements of income, balance sheets, statements of cash flows or statements of equity resulting from these changes.
Divestitures —See Note 3: Business Divestitures and Asset Sales in these Notes for information regarding the following and other divestitures by us in 2019 and 2020: the divestiture of the Harris Night Vision business completed on September 13, 2019; the divestiture of the Security & Detection Systems and MacDonald Humfrey Automation solutions business completed on May 4, 2020; the divestiture of the Applied Kilovolts and Analytical Instrumentation business completed on May 15, 2020; and the divestiture of the EOTech business completed on July 31, 2020.
Fiscal Year — Through fiscal 2019, our fiscal year ended on the Friday nearest June 30. Commencing with the period from June 29, 2019 through January 3, 2020 (“Fiscal Transition Period”), our fiscal year ends on the Friday nearest December 31. Our fiscal year ended January 1, 2021 included 52 weeks, our Fiscal Transition Period included 27 weeks, and each of our fiscal years ended June 28, 2019 and June 29, 2018 included 52 weeks. The unaudited prior four quarter period results for the comparative period ended January 3, 2020 included 53 weeks and the unaudited prior two quarters period results for the comparative period ended December 28, 2018 included 26 weeks. See Note 27: Transition Period Comparative Data (Unaudited) in these Notes for additional information.
Use of Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principlesGenerally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements and these Notes and related disclosures. These estimates and assumptions are based on experience and other information available prior to issuance of the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements and these Notes. Materially different results can occur as circumstances change and additional information becomes known.
Fiscal Year — Through fiscal 2019, our fiscal years ended on the Friday nearest June 30. Commencing June 29, 2019, our fiscal year will end on the Friday nearest December 31, and the period commencing on June 29, 2019 will be a fiscal transition period ending on January 3, 2020 (the “Fiscal Transition Period”). Each of our fiscal years 2019, 2018 and 2017 included 52 weeks.
Cash and Cash Equivalents — Cash equivalents are temporary cash investments with a maturity of three or fewer months when purchased. These investments include accrued interest and are carried at the lower of cost or market.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments — The carrying amounts reflected in our Consolidated Balance Sheet for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, non-current receivables, notes receivable, accounts payable, short-term debt and long-term variable-rate debt approximate their fair values. Fair values for long-term fixed-rate debt are primarily based on quoted market prices for those or similar instruments. See Note 13:14: Debt in these Notes for additional information regarding fair values for our
81

long-term fixed-rate debt. A discussion of fair values for our derivative financial instruments is included under the caption “Financial Instruments and Risk Management” in this Note 1: Significant Accounting Policies.
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.
•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 using the best information available in the circumstances.
In certain instances, fair value is estimated using quoted market prices obtained from external pricing services. In obtaining such data from the pricing service, we have evaluated the methodologies used to develop the estimate of fair value in order to assess whether such valuations are representative of fair value, including net asset value (“NAV”). Additionally, in certain circumstances, the NAV reported by an asset manager may be adjusted when sufficient evidence indicates NAV is not representative of fair value.
Accounts Receivable — We record receivables at net realizable value and they generally do not bear interest. This value includes an allowance for estimated uncollectible accounts to reflect any loss anticipated on the accounts receivable balances which is charged to the provision for doubtful accounts. We calculate this allowance at inception based on our historyexpected loss over the life of the receivable. We consider historical write-offs by customer, level of past due accounts and economic status of the customers. We consider aA receivable is considered delinquent if it is unpaid after the term of the related invoice has expired. Write-offs are recorded at the time a customer receivable is deemed uncollectible. See Note 5:6: Receivables in these Notes for additional information regarding accounts receivable.
Contract Assets and Liabilities — The timing of revenue recognition, customer billings and cash collections results in accounts receivable, contract assets and contract liabilities at the end of each reporting period. Contract assets include unbilled amounts typically resulting from revenue recognized exceeding amounts billed to customers for contracts utilizing the percentage of completion (“POC”) cost-to-cost revenue recognition method. We bill customers as work progresses in accordance with agreed-upon contractual terms, either at periodic intervals, upon achievement of contractual milestones or upon deliveries and, in certain arrangements, the customer may withhold payment of a small portion of the contract price until contract completion. Contract liabilities include advance payments and billings in excess of revenue recognized, including deferred revenue. Contract assets and liabilities are reported on a contract-by-contract basis at the end of each reporting period.

The non-current portion of contract liabilities is included within the “Other long-term liabilities” line item in our Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Contract assets related to amounts withheld by customers until contract completion are not considered a significant financing component of our contracts because the intent is to protect the customers from our failure to satisfactorily complete our performance obligations. Payments received from customers in advance of revenue recognition are not considered a significant financing component of our contracts because they are utilized to pay for contract costs within a one-year period or are requested by us to ensure the customers meet their payment obligations. See Note 6:7: Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities in these Notes for additional information.
Inventories — Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (determined by average and first-in, first-out methods) or net realizable value. We regularly review inventory quantities on hand and record a provision for excess and obsolete inventory primarily based on our estimated forecast of product demand, anticipated end of product life and production requirements. See Note 7:8: Inventories in these Notes for additional information regarding inventories.
Costs to Obtain or Fulfill a Contract — Costs to obtain a contract are incremental direct costs incurred to obtain a contract with a customer, including sales commissions and dealer fees, and are capitalized if material. Costs to fulfill a contract include costs directly related to a contract or specific anticipated contract (for example, mobilization, set-up and certain design costs) that generate or enhance our ability to satisfy our performance obligations under these contracts. These costs are capitalized to the extent they are expected to be recovered from the associated contract. Capitalized costs to obtain or fulfill a contract are amortized to expense over the expected period of benefit for contracts with terms greater than one year on a systematic basis that is consistent with the pattern of transfer of the associated goods and services to the customer. As a practical expedient, capitalized costs to obtain or fulfill a contract with a term of one year or less are expensed as incurred. Capitalized costs to obtain or fulfill a
82

contract included in the “Other current assets” and “Other non-current assets” line items in our Consolidated Balance Sheet were $14 million and $35 million, respectively, at January 1, 2021and $14 million and $48 million, respectively, at January 3, 2020.
Property, Plant and Equipment — Property, plant and equipment are carried on the basis of cost and include software capitalized for internal use. Depreciation of buildings, machinery and equipment is computed by the straight-line and accelerated methods. The estimated useful lives of buildings, including leasehold improvements, generally range between 2 and 45 years. The estimated useful lives of machinery and equipment generally range between 2 and 10 years. Amortization of internal-use software begins when the software is put into service and is based on the expected useful life of the software. The useful lives over which we amortize internal-use software generally range between 3 and 10 years. See Note 8:9: Property, Plant and Equipment in these Notes for additional information regarding property, plant and equipment.
Goodwill — We follow the acquisition method of accounting to record the assets and liabilities of acquired businesses at their estimated fair value at the date of acquisition. We initially record goodwill for the amount costs exceedthe consideration transferred exceeds the acquisition-date fair value of net identifiable assets acquired.
We test goodwill for impairment at a level within the Company referred to as the reporting unit, which is our business segment level and, if and when applicable,or one level below the business segment. We test our goodwill for impairment annually as of the first day of our fourth fiscal quarter, or under certain circumstances, more frequently, such as when events or circumstances indicate there may be impairment. Such events or circumstances may include a significant deterioration in overall economic conditions, changes in the business climate of our industry, a decline in our market capitalization, operating performance indicators, competition, reorganizations of our business or the disposal of all or a portion of a reporting unit.
We identifyTo test goodwill for impairment, we may perform both qualitative and quantitative assessments. If we elect to perform a qualitative assessment for a certain reporting unit, we evaluate events and circumstances impacting the reporting unit to determine the probability that goodwill is impaired. If we determine it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of  the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, we measure any loss from an impairment by comparing the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, goodwill is considered impaired, and an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess. See Note 3: Discontinued OperationsBusiness Divestitures and Divestitures Asset Sales, Note 5: Business Combinationand Note 9:10: Goodwill in these Notes for additional information regarding goodwill.
Long-Lived Assets, Including Finite-Lived Intangible Assets — Long-lived assets, including finite-lived intangible assets, are amortized to expense over their useful lives either according to the underlying economic benefit as reflected by future net cash inflows or on a straight-line basis over their useful lives.depending on the nature of the asset. We assess the recoverability of the carrying value of our long-lived assets, including finite-lived intangible assets, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. We evaluate the recoverability of such assets based on the expectations of undiscounted cash flows from such assets. If the sum of the expected future undiscounted cash flows were less than the carrying amount of the asset, a loss would be recognized for the difference between the fair value and the carrying amount. Indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized, but are tested annually for impairment. This testing compares the fair value of the asset to its carrying amount, and, when appropriate, the carrying amount of these assets is reduced to its fair value. See Note 8:9: Property, Plant and Equipment and Note 10:11: Intangible Assets in these Notes for additional information regarding long-lived assets and intangible assets.
Leases — We recognize right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities in our balance sheet for operating and finance leases under which we are the lessee. As a practical expedient, leases with a term of twelve months or less (including reasonably expected extension periods) and leases with expected lease payments of less than $250 thousand are expensed as incurred. Also as a practical expedient, we did not reassess lease classification for contracts in existence or expired prior to our adoption of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), as amended (“ASC 842”) on June 29, 2019, and we continue to account for these leases in accordance with Topic 840.
Operating lease assets and finance lease assets, respectively, are included in the “Operating lease right-of-use assets” and “Property, plant and equipment” line items in our Consolidated Balance Sheet. Operating lease liabilities and finance lease liabilities for obligations due within twelve months are included in the “Other accrued items” line item in our Consolidated Balance Sheet. Operating lease liabilities and finance lease liabilities for obligations due longer than twelve months are included in the “Operating lease liabilities” and “Other long-term liabilities” line items, respectively, in our Consolidated Balance Sheet.            
ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of future lease payments. Lease payments primarily include base rent. We have some lease payments that are based on an index and changes to the index are treated as variable lease payments and recognized in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred. Our lease payments also include non-lease components such as real estate taxes and common-area maintenance costs. As a practical expedient, we account for lease and non-lease components as a single component. In certain of our leases, the non-lease components are variable and are therefore excluded from lease payments to determine the ROU asset. The present value of future lease payments is determined using our incremental borrowing rate at lease commencement over the expected lease term. We use our incremental borrowing rate because our leases do not provide an implicit lease rate. The expected lease term represents the number of years
83

we expect to lease the property, including options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise the option.
Operating lease expense is recognized as an operating cost on a straight-line basis over the expected lease term in our Consolidated Statement of Income. For finance leases, the asset is amortized on a straight-line basis over the lease term, and interest on the lease liability is recognized in interest expense.
We are a lessor for certain flight simulators. These leases meet the criteria for operating lease classification. Lease income associated with these leases was not material in fiscal 2020 or in the two quarters ended January 3, 2020.
See Note 19: Lease Commitments in these Notes for additional information regarding leases.
Other Assets and Liabilities — No assets within the “Other current assets” or “Other non-current assets” line items in our Consolidated Balance Sheet exceeded 5 percent of our total current assets or total assets, respectively, as of June 28, 2019at January 1, 2021 or June 29, 2018.January 3, 2020. No accrued liabilities or expenses within the “Other accrued items” or “Other long-term liabilities” line items in our Consolidated Balance Sheet exceeded 5 percent of our total current liabilities or total liabilities, respectively, as of June 28, 2019at January 1, 2021 or June 29, 2018.January 3, 2020.

Income Taxes — We follow the liability method of accounting for income taxes. We record the estimated future tax effects of temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and amounts reported in our Consolidated Balance Sheet, as well as operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. We follow very specific and detailed guidelines in each tax jurisdiction regarding the recoverability of any tax assets recorded on the balance sheet and provide necessary valuation allowances as required. We regularly review our deferred tax assets for recoverability based on historical taxable income, projected future taxable income, the expected timing of the reversals of existing temporary differences and tax planning strategies. See Note 22:23: Income Taxes in these Notes for additional information regarding income taxes.
Standard Warranties — We record estimated standard warranty costs in the period in which the related products are delivered. Factors that affect the estimated cost for warranties include the terms of the contract, the type and complexity of the delivered product, number of installed units, historical experience and management’s assumptions regarding anticipated rates of warranty claims and cost per claim. Our standard warranties start from the shipment, delivery or customer acceptance date and continue as follows:
SegmentAverage Warranty Period
Integrated Mission Systems
One to three years
Space and Airborne Systems
One to three years
Communication Systems
One to five years
ElectronicAviation Systems
One to two years
Space and Intelligence Systems60 days to two years

Because our products are manufactured, in many cases, to customer specifications and their acceptance is based on meeting those specifications, we historically have experienced minimal warranty costs. Factors that affect our warranty liability include the number of installed units, historical experience, anticipated delays in delivery of products to end customers, in-country support for international sales and our assumptions regarding anticipated rates of warranty claims and cost per claim. We assess the adequacy of our recorded warranty liabilities every quarter and make adjustments to the liability as necessary. See Note 11:12: Accrued Warranties in these Notes for additional information regarding warranties, including extended warranties.
Foreign Currency Translation — The functional currency for most international subsidiaries is the local currency. Assets and liabilities are translated at current rates of exchange and income and expense items are translated at the weighted average exchange rate for the year. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded as a separate component of shareholders’ equity.
Stock Options and Other Share-Based Compensation — We measure compensation cost for all share-based payments (including employee stock options) at fair value and recognize cost over the vesting period, with forfeitures recognized as they occur. It is our practice to issue shares when options are exercised. See Note 15:16: Stock Options and Other Share-Based Compensation in these Notes for additional information regarding share-based compensation.
Restructuring and Other Exit Costs — We record restructuring and other exit costs at their fair value when incurred. In cases where employees are required to render service until they are terminated in order to receive the termination benefits and will be retained beyond the minimum retention period, we record the expense ratably over the future service period. These costs are included as a component of the “Cost of product sales and services” and “Engineering, selling and administrative expenses” line items in our Consolidated Statement of Income. See Note 4: Restructuring and Other Exit Costs in these Notes for additional information regarding restructuring and other exit costs.
Revenue Recognition — Effective June 30, 2018, we adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), as amended (“ASC 606”), using the full retrospective method. Refer to Note 2: Accounting Changes or Recent Accounting Pronouncements for additional information. The significant accounting policies disclosed below reflect the impact of our adoption of ASC 606.
We account for a contract when it has approval and commitment from all parties, the rights and payment terms of the parties can be identified, the contract has commercial substance and the collectibilitycollectability of the consideration, or transaction price, is probable. Our contracts are often subsequently modified to include changes in specifications, requirements
84

or price that may create new or change existing enforceable rights and obligations. We do not account for contract modifications (including unexercised options) or follow-on contracts until they meet the requirements noted above to account for a contract.
At the inception of each contract, we evaluate the promised goods and services to determine whether the contract should be accounted for as having one or more performance obligations. A performance obligation is a promise to transfer a distinct good or service to a customer and represents the unit of accounting for revenue recognition. A substantial majority of our revenue is derived from long-term development and production contracts involving the design, development, manufacture or modification of aerospace and defense products and related services according to the customers’ specifications. Due to the highly interdependent and interrelated nature of the underlying goods and services and the significant service of integration that we provide, which often result in the delivery of multiple units, we account for these contracts as one performance obligation. For contracts that include both development/production and follow-on support services (for example, operations and

maintenance), we generally consider the follow-on services distinct in the context of the contract and account for them as separate performance obligations. Additionally, a significant amount of our revenue is derived from contracts to provide multiple distinct goods to a customer where the goods can readily be sold to other customers based on their commercial nature and, accordingly, these goods are accounted for as separate performance obligations. These arrangements are most prevalent in our Communication Systems segment and primarily involve the sale of secure tactical radios and accessories and other standard products. Shipping and handling costs incurred after control of a product has transferred to the customer (for example, in free on board shipping arrangements) are treated as fulfillment costs and, therefore, are not accounted for as separate performance obligations. Also, we record taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities on a net basis in that they are excluded from revenue.
As discussednoted above, our contracts are often subsequently modified to include changes in specifications, requirements or price. Depending on the nature of the modification, we consider whether to account for the modification as an adjustment to the existing contract or as a separate contract. Often, the deliverables in our contract modifications are not distinct from the existing contract due to the significant integration and interrelated tasks provided in the context of the contract. Therefore, such modifications are accounted for as if they wereare part of the existing contract, and we may be required to recognize a cumulative catch-up adjustment to revenue at the date of the contract modification.
We determine the transaction price for each contract based on our best estimate of the consideration we expect to receive, which includes assumptions regarding variable consideration, such as award and incentive fees. These variable amounts are generally awarded upon achievement of certain negotiated performance metrics, program milestones or cost targets and can be based upon customer discretion. We include such estimated amounts in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. We estimate variable consideration primarily using the most likely amount method.
For contracts with multiple performance obligations, we allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation based on the relative standalone selling price of the good or service underlying each performance obligation. The standalone selling price represents the amount for which we would sell the good or service to a customer on a standalone basis (i.e., not sold as a bundle with any other products or services). Our contracts with the U.S. Government, including foreign military sales contracts, are subject to the Federal Acquisition Regulations (“FAR”) and the prices of our contract deliverables are typically based on our estimated or actual costs plus a reasonable profit margin. As a result, the standalone selling prices of the goods and services in these contracts are typically equal to the selling prices stated in the contract, thereby, eliminating the need to allocate (or reallocate) the transaction price to the multiple performance obligations. In our non-U.S. Government contracts, we also generally use the expected cost plus a reasonable profit margin approach to determine standalone selling price. In addition, we determine standalone selling price for certain contracts that are commercial in nature based on observable selling prices.
We recognize revenue for each performance obligation when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied by transferring control of the promised goods or services underlying the performance obligation to the customer. The transfer of control can occur over time or at a point in time.
Point in Time Revenue Recognition: Our performance obligations are satisfied at a point in time unless they meet at least one of the following criteria, in which case they are satisfied over time:
•The customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by our performance as we perform;
•Our performance creates or enhances an asset (for example, work in process) that the customer controls as the asset is created or enhanced; or
•Our performance does not create an asset with an alternative use to us, and we have an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date.
As noted above, a significant amount of our revenue is derived from contracts to provide multiple distinct goods to a customer that are commercial in nature and can readily be sold to other customers. These arrangements are most prevalent in our Communication Systems segment and primarily involve the sale of secure tactical radios and accessories and other standard products. These performance obligations do not meet any of the three criteria listed above to recognize revenue over time; therefore, we recognize revenue at a point in time, generally when the goods are received and accepted by the customer.
85

Over Time Revenue Recognition: The majority of our revenue recognized over time is for U.S. Government development and production contracts in our Electronic Systems and Space and Intelligence Systems segments. For U.S. Government development and production contracts, there is a continuous transfer of control of the asset to the customer as it is being produced based on FAR clauses in the contract that provide the customer with lien rights to work in process and allow the customer to unilaterally terminate the contract for convenience, pay us for costs incurred plus a reasonable profit and take control of any work in process. This also typically applies to our contracts with prime contractors for U.S. Government development and production contracts, when the above-described FAR clauses are flowed down to us by the prime contractors.

Our non-U.S. Government development and production contracts, including international direct commercial contracts and U.S. contracts with state and local agencies, utilities, and commercial and transportation organizations, often do not include the FAR clauses described above. However, over time revenue recognition is typically supported either through our performance creating or enhancing an asset that the customer controls as it is created or enhanced or based on other contractual provisions or relevant laws that provide us with an enforceable right to payment for our work performed to date plus a reasonable profit if our customer were permitted to and did terminate the contract for reasons other than our failure to perform as promised.
Revenue for our development and production contracts is recognized over time, typically using the POC cost-to-cost method, whereby we measure our progress towards completion of the performance obligation based on the ratio of costs incurred to date to estimated costs at completion under the contract. Because costs incurred represent work performed, we believe this method best depicts transfer of control of the asset to the customer.
For performance obligations to provide services that are satisfied over time, we generally recognize revenue either on a straight-line basis, the POC cost-to-cost method, or based on the right-to-invoice method (i.e., based on our right to bill the customer). Because these methods closely reflect the value of the services transferred to the customer, we believe these methods, depending on which method best depictdepicts transfer of control to the customer.
Contract Estimates:Under the POC cost-to-cost method of revenue recognition, a single estimated profit margin is used to recognize profit for each performance obligation over its period of performance. Recognition of profit on a contract requires estimates of the total cost at completion and transaction price and the measurement of progress towards completion. Due to the long-term nature of many of our contracts, developing the estimated total cost at completion and total transaction price 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 and the risk and impact of delayed performance. Factors that must be considered in estimating the total transaction price include contractual cost or performance incentives (such as incentive fees, award fees and penalties) and other forms of variable consideration as well as our historical experience and our expectation for performance on the contract. 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 we review the progress and performance on our ongoing 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, as the contract progresses, our estimates of total transaction price may increase or decrease if, for example, we receive award fees that are higher or lower than expected. When adjustments in estimated total costs at completion or in estimated total transaction price are determined, the related impact on 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. Any anticipated losses on these contracts are fully recognized in the period in which the losses become evident.
Net EAC adjustments resulting from changes in estimates impacted our operating income favorably by $17 million ($13 million after tax or $.10 per diluted share) in fiscal 2019, and unfavorably by $19 million ($13 million after tax or $.11 per diluted share) in fiscal 2018 and $1 million (.01 per diluted share) in fiscal 2017. had the following impact to earnings for the periods presented:

Net EAC adjustments, net of income taxes, per diluted share$1.39 $0.46 $0.10 $(0.11)
Revenue recognized from performance obligations satisfied in prior periods was $493 million, $170 million, $59 million and $43 million in fiscal 2020, the two quarters ended January 3, 2020, and $45 million for fiscal 2019 2018 and 2017,2018, respectively.
Bill-and-Hold Arrangements:For certain of our contracts, the finished product may temporarily be stored at our location under a bill-and-hold arrangement. Revenue is recognized on bill-and-hold arrangements at the point in time when the customer obtains control of the product (for example, through a present right to payment from the customer, transfer of title and/or significant risks and rewards of ownership to the customer and customer acceptance) and all of the following criteria have been met: the arrangement is substantive (for example, the customer has requested the arrangement); the product is identified separately as belonging to the customer; the product is ready for physical transfer to the customer; and we do not have the ability to use the product or direct it to another customer. In determining when the customer obtains control of the product, we consider certain indicators, including whether we have a
86

present right to payment from the customer, whether title and/or significant risks and rewards of ownership have transferred to the customer and whether customer acceptance has been received (in the case of arrangements with customer acceptance provisions).
Backlog: Backlog, which is the equivalent of our remaining performance obligations, represents the future revenue we expect to recognize as we perform on our current contracts. Backlog comprises both funded backlog (i.e., firm orders for which funding is authorized and appropriated) and unfunded backlog. Backlog excludes unexercised contract options and potential orders under ordering-type contracts, such as indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (“IDIQ”) contracts.

Retirement and Post-Employment Benefits — Defined benefit plans that we sponsor are accounted for as defined benefit pension and other postretirement defined benefit plans (collectively referred to as “defined benefit plans”). Accordingly, the funded or unfunded position of each defined benefit plan is recorded in our Consolidated Balance Sheet. Actuarial gains and losses and prior service costs or credits that have not yet been recognized through income are recorded in the “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” line item within equity in our Consolidated Balance Sheet, net of taxes, until they are amortized as a component of net periodic benefit cost. The determination of benefit obligations and the recognition of expenses related to defined benefit plans are dependent on various assumptions. The major assumptions primarily relate to discount rates, long-term expected rates of return on plan assets, the rate of future compensation increases, mortality, termination, and healthcarehealth care cost trend rates. We develop each assumption using relevant Company experience in conjunction with market-related data. Actuarial assumptions are reviewed annually with third-party consultants and adjusted as appropriate. For the recognition of net periodic benefit cost, the calculation of the long-term expected return on plan assets is generally derived using a market-related value of plan assets based on yearly average asset values at the measurement date over the last five years, to be phased in over five years. Actual results that differ from our assumptions are accumulated and generally amortized for each plan to the extent required over the estimated future life expectancy or, if applicable, the future working lifetime of the plan’s active participants. The fair value of plan assets is determined based on market prices or estimated fair value at the measurement date. The measurement date for valuing defined benefit plan assets and obligations is the end of the month closest to our fiscal year end.
See Note 14: PensionWe record the service cost component of net periodic benefit income in the “Cost of product sales and Other Postretirement Benefits for additional information regardingservices” and “Engineering, selling and administrative expenses” line items in our definedConsolidated Statement of Income. The non-service cost components of net periodic benefit plans.income are included in the “Non-operating income” line item in our Consolidated Statement of Income.
We also provide retirement benefits to many of our U.S.-based employees through defined contribution retirement plans, including 401(k) plans and certain non-qualified deferred compensation plans. The defined contribution retirement plans have matching and savings elements. Company contributions to the retirement plans are based on employees’ savings with no other funding requirements. We may make additional contributions to the retirement plans at our discretion. Retirement and postretirement benefits also include unfunded limited healthcare plans for U.S.-based retirees and employees on long-term disability. We estimate benefits for these plans using actuarial valuations that are based in part on certain key assumptions we make, including the discount rate, the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets, the rate of future compensation increases, healthcare cost trend rates and employee turnover and mortality, each appropriately based on the nature of the plans. We accrue the cost of these benefits during an employee’s active service life, except in the case of our healthcare plans for disabled employees, the costs of which we accrue when the disabling event occurs.
See Note 15: Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits in these Notes for additional information regarding our defined benefit plans.
Environmental Expenditures — We capitalize environmental expenditures that increase the life or efficiency of property or that reduce or prevent environmental contamination. We accrue environmental expenses resulting from existing conditions that relate to past or current operations. Our accruals for environmental expenses are recorded on a site-by-site basis when it is probable a liability has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated, based on current law and existing technologies available to us. Our accruals for environmental expenses represent the best estimates related to the investigation and remediation of environmental media such as water, soil, soil vapor, air and structures, as well as related legal fees, and are reviewed periodically, at least annually at the year-end balance sheet date, and updated for progress of investigation and remediation efforts and changes in facts and legal circumstances. If the timing and amount of future cash payments for environmental liabilities are fixed or reliably determinable, we generally discount such cash flows in estimating our accrual.
As of June 28, 2019,January 1, 2021, we were named, and continue to be named, as a potentially responsible party at 6084 sites where future liabilities could exist. These sites included 59 sites owned by us, 4765 sites associated with our former and current locations or operations and 810 hazardous waste treatment, storage or disposal facility sites not owned by us that contain hazardous substances allegedly attributable to us from past operations.
Based on an assessment of relevant factors, we estimated that our liability under applicable environmental statutes and regulations for identified sites was approximately $99 million, consisting of approximately $93 million for environmental liabilities related to Exelis operations and approximately $6 million for other environmental liabilities. In each case, the$117 million. The current portion of our estimated environmental liability is included in the “Other accrued items” line item and the non-current portion is included in the “Other long-term liabilities” line item in our Consolidated Balance Sheet.
87

The relevant factors we considered in estimating our potential liabilities under applicable environmental statutes and regulations included some or all of the following as to each site: incomplete information regarding particular sites and other potentially responsible parties; uncertainty regarding the extent of investigation or remediation; our share, if any, of liability for such conditions; the selection of alternative remedial approaches; changes in environmental standards and regulatory requirements; potential insurance proceeds; cost-sharing agreements with other parties and potential indemnification from successor and predecessor owners of these sites. We do not believe that any uncertainties regarding these relevant factors will materially affect our potential liability under applicable environmental statutes and regulations. We believe the total amount accrued is appropriate based on existing facts and circumstances, although we note the total amount accrued may increase or decrease in future years.

Financial Guarantees and Commercial Commitments — Financial guarantees are contingent commitments issued to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party in borrowing arrangements, such as commercial paper issuances, bond financings and similar transactions. As of June 28, 2019,January 1, 2021, we did not have material financial guarantees and there were no such contingent commitments accrued for in our Consolidated Balance Sheet.
We have entered into commercial commitments in the normal course of business including surety bonds, standby letter of credit agreements and other arrangements with financial institutions and customers primarily relating to the guarantee of future performance on certain contracts to provide products and services to customers and to obtain insurance policies with our insurance carriers.
Financial Instruments and Risk Management — In the normal course of 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 may also enter into derivative instruments that are not designated as hedges and do not qualify for hedge accounting. We recognize all derivatives in our Consolidated Balance Sheet at fair value. Derivatives that are not hedges must be adjusted to fair value through income. If the derivative is a hedge, depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in the fair value of the derivative are either offset against the change in fair value of assets, liabilities or firm commitments through earnings or recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. The ineffective portion of a derivative’s change in fair value is immediately recognized in earnings. We do not hold or issue derivatives for speculative trading purposes. See Note 19:20: Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities in these Notes for additional information regarding our use of derivative instruments.
Income From Continuing Operations Per Share — For all periods presented in our Consolidated Financial Statements and these Notes, income from continuing operations per share is computed using the two-class method. The two-class method of computing income from continuing operations per share is an earnings allocation formula that determines income from continuing operations per share for common stock and any participating securities according to dividends paid and participation rights in undistributed earnings. OurHistorically, our restricted stock awards and restricted stock unit awards generally meethave met the definition of participating securities and arewere included in the computations of income from continuing operations per basic and diluted common share. Our performance shareHowever, restricted stock awards and performance sharerestricted stock unit awards dogranted during fiscal 2020 and the two quarters ended January 3, 2020 did not meet the definition of participating securities because they do not contain rights to receive nonforfeitable dividends and, therefore, are excluded from the computations of income from continuing operations per basic and diluted common share.securities. Under the two-class method, income from continuing operations per common share is computed by dividing the sum of earnings distributed to common shareholders and undistributed earnings allocated to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Income from continuing operations per diluted common share is computed using the more dilutive of the two-class method or the treasury stock method. In applying the two-class method, undistributed earnings are allocated to both common shares and participating securities based on the weighted-average shares outstanding during the period. See Note 16:17: Income From Continuing Operations Per Share in these Notes for additional information.
Business Segments — We evaluate each business segment’s performance based on its operating income or loss, which we define as profit or loss from operations before income taxes, including pension income and 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 Note 24:25: Business Segments in these Notes represents the elimination of intersegment sales. Corporate expenses are primarily allocated to our business segments using an allocation methodology prescribed by U.S. Government regulations for government contractors. The “Unallocated corporate expenseexpenses and corporate eliminations” line item in Note 24:25: Business Segments in these Notes represents the portion of corporate expenses not allocated to our business segments and elimination of intersegment profits. The “Pension adjustment” line item in Note 24:25: Business Segments in these Notes represents the reconciliation of the non-service components of net periodic pension and postretirement benefit costs, which are a component of segment operating income but are included in the “Non-operating income” line item in our Consolidated Statement of Income as a result of our adoption of ASU 2017-07, Compensation - Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost (“ASU 2017-07”) as discussed in Note 2: Accounting Changes or Recent Accounting Pronouncements.Income. The non-service components of net periodic pension and postretirement benefit costs include interest cost, expected return on plan assets, and amortization of net actuarial gain or loss.loss and effect of curtailments or settlements.

NOTE 2: ACCOUNTING CHANGES OR RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Adoption of New Accounting Standards
As previously reported, effective June 30, 2018Effective January 3, 2020, we adopted ASC 606. This standard supersedes nearly all revenue recognition guidance under GAAP and International Accounting Standards Update 2016-13, 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 are 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 core principleInstruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement 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 and cash flows, this standard requires significantly more interim and annual disclosures. We have adopted the requirements of theCredit Losses on Financial Instruments on a modified retrospective basis. The new standard usingreplaces the full retrospective method,existing impairment model, under which meansimpairment of financial instruments, including accounts receivable and contract assets, is recognized when it becomes probable a loss has been incurred, with a model that we have restated each prior reporting period presentedrequires recognition of expected credit losses over the estimated life of an asset at inception and recognized the cumulative effectrequires consideration of applying the standard at the earliest period presented. We opted for this adoption method because we believe it provides enhanced comparabilitya broader range of reasonable and transparency across periods. We electedsupportable information to apply the practical expedient related to backlog disclosures for prior reporting periods. We also elected to apply the practical expedient related to evaluating the effects of contract modifications that occurred prior to the earliest period presented. No other transition practical expedients were applied.

NOTE 3: BUSINESS DIVESTITURES AND ASSET SALES
Divestitures
EOTech business. On July 31, 2020, we completed the divestiture of our EOTech business for $42 million (net cash proceeds of $40 million after selling costs and estimated purchase price adjustments), subject to final customary purchase price adjustments as set forth in the recognitiondefinitive sale agreement, and recognized a pre-tax gain of a cumulative-effect adjustment of $15$2 million, to reduce the opening balance of retained earnings at July 2, 2016. Our fiscal 2017 revenue from product sales and services decreased by $3 million and our income from continuing operations decreased by $10 million ($.08 per share). Our fiscal 2018 revenue from product sales and services decreased by $14 million and our income from continuing operations decreased by $19 million ($.15 per share). This standard also resultedwhich is included in the establishment of “Contract assets” and “Contract liabilities” line items and the reclassification to these line items of amounts previously presented in the “Receivables,” “Inventories” and “Advanced payments and unearned income” line items in our Consolidated Balance Sheet. Total net cash provided by operating activities and total net cash provided by or used in investing activities and financing activities in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows were not impacted by the adoption of ASC 606. These amounts are reflected in the tables below and are updated from the preliminary assessment of the impacts of adopting ASC 606 included in our Fiscal 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
We also adopted ASU 2017-07 effective June 30, 2018. This standardrequires that entities present components of net periodic pension and postretirement benefit costs other than the service cost component (“other components of net benefit cost”) separately from the service cost component. The other components of net benefit cost may be presented as a separate line item or items, or if a separate line item is not used, the line item used to present the other components of net benefit cost must be disclosed. Previously, we included each component of net benefit cost within the “Cost of product sales and services” and “Engineering, selling and administrative expenses” line items in our Consolidated Statement of Income. In accordance with this update, we present the other components of net benefit cost as part of the “Non-operating income”“Business divestiture-related (losses) gains” line item in our Consolidated Statement of Income. We adopted this update retrospectively by recasting each prior period presented, usingIncome for fiscal 2020. The EOTech business, which was acquired in connection with the L3Harris Merger on June 29, 2019, manufactures holographic sighting systems, magnified field optics and accessories for military, law enforcement and commercial markets around the world. The operating results of the EOTech business through the date of divestiture are reported as part of our estimation basisCommunication Systems segment. Income before income taxes of the EOTech business through the date of divestiture was not material for recasting prior periodsfiscal 2020 or the amounts disclosedtwo quarters ended January 3, 2020.
In connection with the preparation of our financial statements for the quarter ended April 3, 2020, we tested goodwill assigned to the EOTech business disposal group and goodwill assigned to the retained businesses of the reporting unit for impairment and concluded that 0 goodwill impairment existed at the time the held for sale criteria were met.
Applied Kilovolts and Analytical Instrumentation business. On May 15, 2020, we completed the divestiture of our Applied Kilovolts and Analytical Instrumentation business for net cash proceeds of $12 million, after selling costs and purchase price adjustments as set forth in the postretirement benefit plan footnote todefinitive sale agreement. The operating results of the Applied Kilovolts and Analytical Instrumentation business through the date of divestiture are reported as part of our previously issued financial statements.

Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Effective
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a new lease standard that supersedes existing lease guidance under GAAP. This standard requires, among other things, the recognition of right-of-use assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for most lease arrangements and disclosure of certain information about leasing arrangements. The new standard currently allows two transition methods with certain practical expedients available. Companies may elect to use the modified retrospective approach for leases that exist or are entered into after the beginning of the earliest comparative period in the financial statements or to initially apply this standard at the adoption date and recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption.
We are adopting the new standard effective June 29, 2019 by applying the standard at the adoption date and recognizing a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. We plan to elect the package of practical expedients permitted by the standard, which, among other things, allows us to carry forward the historical lease classification. The substantial majority of our current lease arrangements are classified as operating leases under existing GAAP lease guidance, and they will continue to be classified as operating leases under the new standard. We have made substantial progress in executing our implementation plan, including identifying our lease population. We are in the process of implementing a new lease management software tool, a new accounting policy, as well as new processes and internal controls. We expect to record right-of-use assets and liabilities of $200 million to $300 million on our Consolidated Balance Sheet for historical Harris’ leases. This quantification does not take into account any potential impact that may result from the L3Harris Merger. We do not expect that the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on our results of operations or cash flows.

NOTE 3: DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS AND DIVESTITURESautomation business.
Discontinued Operations
WeOn May 4, 2020, we completed two significant divestitures during fiscal 2017, the divestiture of our government information technology (“IT”) servicesthe Security & Detection Systems and MacDonald Humfrey Automation solutions business (“IT Services”airport security and automation business”) to Leidos, Inc. for $1 billion (net cash proceeds of $987 million after selling costs and the divestiture of our Harris CapRock Communications commercial business (“CapRock”), which are described in more detail below. These divestitures individually and collectively represented a strategic shift away from non-core markets (for example, energy, maritime and government IT services). The decision to divest these businesses was part of our strategy to simplify our operating model to focus on technology-differentiated, high-margin businesses, and had a major effect on our operations and financial results.
As a result, IT Services and CapRock are reportedpurchase price adjustments as discontinued operationsset forth in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statementsdefinitive sale agreement, and these Notes. Except for disclosures related to our cash flows, or unless otherwise specified, disclosuresrecognized a pre-tax loss of $23 million, which is included in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements and these Notes relate solely to our continuing operations.

IT Services
On April 28, 2017, we completed the divestiture to an affiliate of Veritas Capital Fund Management, L.L.C. (“Veritas”) of IT Services,automation business, which primarily provided IT and engineering managed services to U.S. Government customers, for net cash proceeds of $646 million, and recognized a pre-tax loss of $28 million (an after-tax gain of $55 million after certain tax benefits related to the transaction or $.44 per diluted share) on the sale after transaction expenses. The decision to divest IT Services was part of our strategy to simplify our operating model to focus on technology-differentiated, high-margin businesses. IT Services was part of our former Critical Networks segment andacquired in connection with the definitive agreement to sell IT Services,L3Harris Merger on June 29, 2019, provides solutions used by the aviation and transportation industries, regulatory and customs authorities, government and law enforcement agencies and commercial and other high-security facilities. The operating results of the airport security and automation business through the date of divestiture are reported as described above, the other remaining operations that had been a part of the Critical Networks segment, including our air traffic management business, primarily serving the Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”), were integrated with our Electronic Systems segment effective for the third quarter of fiscal 2017, and our Critical Networks segment was eliminated. We agreed to provide various transition services to Veritas for a period of up to 18 months following the closingsegment. Income before income taxes of the transaction pursuant to a separate agreement.

airport security and automation business through the date of divestiture was not material in fiscal 2020, and was $27 million in the two quarters ended January 3, 2020.
Because the then-pending divestiture of IT Services representedthe airport security and automation business would represent the disposal of a portion of a reporting unit within our former Critical NetworksAviation Systems segment, we assigned $487$531 million of goodwill to the IT Servicesairport security and automation business disposal group on a relative fair value basis during the third quarter of fiscal 2017,ended April 3, 2020, when the held for sale criteria were met. In connection with the preparation of our financial statements for the quarter ended April 3, 2020, we tested goodwill assigned to the disposal group and goodwill assigned to the retained businesses of the reporting unit for impairment and concluded that 0 goodwill impairment existed at the time the held for sale criteria were met in late January 2020. However, indicators of potential impairment of goodwill related to the retained businesses of the reporting unit were present at April 3, 2020 and July 3, 2020 due to the downturn in the commercial aviation market that resulted from the novel COVID-19 strain of coronavirus pandemic (“COVID”) and its impact on global air traffic and customer demand. See Note 10: Goodwill in these Notes for additional information regarding goodwill impairment.

VSE Disposal Group. During the quarter ended July 3, 2020, we determined the criteria to be classified as held for sale were met with respect to certain portions of our Voice Switch Enterprise business that we planned to divest (“VSE disposal group”); consequently, the assets and liabilities of the VSE disposal group are classified as held for sale in our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of January 1, 2021. Income before income taxes of the VSE disposal group was not material in fiscal 2020, the two quarters ended January 3, 2020, or fiscal 2019 or 2018. The VSE disposal group is part of our Aviation Systems segment and provides voice over internet protocol systems for air traffic management communications.
Because the potential divestiture of the VSE disposal group would represent the disposal of a portion of a reporting unit within our Aviation Systems segment, we assigned $14 million of goodwill to the VSE disposal group on a relative fair value basis during the quarter ended July 3, 2020, when the held for sale criteria were met. In connection with the preparation of our financial statements for fiscal 2020, we recognized a $32 million pre-tax loss to reduce the assets of the VSE disposal group to fair value, which included a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $14 million (based on the excess of the carrying value of the business over estimated net cash proceeds, after estimated purchase price adjustments) and a $18 million non-cash remeasurement loss to reduce the remaining assets to fair value. These charges are included in the “Impairment of goodwill and other assets” and “Business divestiture-related (losses) gains” line items in our Consolidated Statement of Income for fiscal 2020. The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities of the VSE disposal group that were classified as held for sale in our Consolidated Balance Sheet at January 1, 2021 were $35 million and $13 million, respectively. We expect to complete the sale of the VSE disposal group by the end of the first half of 2021.
Harris Night Vision. On September 13, 2019, we completed the sale of the Harris Night Vision business, a global supplier of high-performance, vision-enhancing products for U.S. and allied military and security forces and commercial customers, to Elbit Systems of America, LLC, a subsidiary of Elbit Systems, Ltd., for $350 million (net cash proceeds of $343 million after selling costs and estimated purchase price adjustments), subject to final customary purchase price adjustments pursuant to a definitive agreement we entered into on April 4, 2019 as part of the regulatory process in connection with the L3Harris Merger and recognized a pre-tax gain of $229 million in the “Business divestiture-related (losses) gains” line item in our Consolidated Statement of Income during the two quarters ended January 3, 2020. During the quarter ended July 3, 2020, we finalized the purchase price adjustments and recognized a $12 million non-cash adjustment related to working capital, which decreased the gain initially recognized and is included in the “Business divestiture-related (losses) gains” line item in our Consolidated Statement of Income for fiscal 2020.
Through fiscal 2019, the Harris Night Vision business was reported as part of our former Communication Systems segment. As a result of the then-pending divestiture, the Harris Night Vision business was not included in any of our new business segments and, consequently, the operating results of the Harris Night Vision business are included in “Other non-reportable business segments” for the two quarters ended January 3, 2020 and fiscal 2019 and 2018 in this Report. Income before income taxes for the Harris Night Vision business was not material for the two quarters ended January 3, 2020 and was $27 million and $20 million for fiscal 2019 and 2018, respectively.
For purposes of allocating goodwill to the disposal groups above, we determined the fair value of the IT Serviceseach disposal group was determined based on the respective negotiated selling price (or estimated net cash proceeds, in the case of no negotiated selling price), and the fair value of the retained businesses (which comprised the remaining portion of the respective reporting unit) was determinedunit based on a combination of market-based valuation techniques, utilizing quoted market prices and comparable publicly reported transactions, and projected discounted cash flows. These fair value determinations are categorized as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy due to their use of internal projections and unobservable measurement inputs. See Note 1: Significant Accounting Policies in these Notes for additional information regarding the fair value hierarchy.
In conjunction withAsset Sales
Stormscope.On August 30, 2019, we completed the allocation, we tested goodwill assigned tosale of the disposal groupStormscope product line for $20 million in cash and goodwill allocated to the retained businesses for impairment. As a result, we concluded that goodwill and other assets related to IT Services were impaired as of March 31, 2017, and we recorded a non-cash impairment chargepre-tax gain of $240$12 million in discontinued operations, $228 millionthe “Engineering, selling and administrative expenses” line item of which related to goodwill. The goodwill impairment charge was non-deductible for tax purposes.

Divestitures
As part of the regulatory process in connection with the L3Harris Merger, we entered into a definitive agreement on April 4, 2019 to sell Harris Night Vision business to Elbit Systems of America, LLC, a subsidiary of Elbit Systems Ltd., for

$350 million in cash, subject to customary purchase price adjustments as set forth in the definitive agreement. The sale transaction was conditioned on completion of the L3Harris Merger, as well as customary closing conditions, including receipt of regulatory approvals. The Harris Night Vision business, which is reported as part of our Communication Systems Segment in this Report, is a global supplier of high-performance, vision-enhancing products for U.S. and allied military and security forces and commercial customers. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019, we received all necessary regulatory approvalsIncome for the L3Harris Merger and the assets and liabilities of the Harris Night Vision business were classified as held for sale in our Consolidated Balance Sheet at June 28, 2019. We expect to close the sale of the Harris Night Vision business during the third quarter of calendar year 2019 and use the proceeds from the sale to pre-fund L3Harris pension plans and return cash to shareholders.

NOTE 4: RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER EXIT COSTS
We record charges for restructuring and other exit activities related to sales or terminations of product lines, closures or relocations of business activities, changes in management structure, and fundamental reorganizations that affect the nature and focus of operations. Such charges include termination benefits, contract termination costs and costs to consolidate facilities or relocate employees. We record these charges at their fair value when incurred. In cases where employees are required to render service until they are terminated in order to receive the termination benefits and will be retained beyond the minimum retention period, we record the expense ratably over the future service period. These charges are included as a component of the “Cost of product sales and services” and “Engineering, selling and administrative expenses” line items in our Consolidated Statement of Income.
Restructuring, Exelis Acquisition-Related Integration and Other Charges
In fiscal 2018, we recorded $5 million of charges for integration and other costs in connection with our acquisition of Exelis in fiscal 2015, substantially all of which were included as a component of the “Engineering, selling and administrative expenses” line item in our Consolidated Statement of Income.
L3Harris Merger-Related Restructuring Costs. We recorded restructuring charges of $10 million during fiscal 2020 and $117 million during the two quarters ended January 3, 2020 in connection with the L3Harris Merger. We had liabilities of $26
90

million and $58 million at January 1, 2021 and January 3, 2020, respectively, associated with these restructuring activities. We expect that the majority of the remaining liabilities as of January 1, 2021 will be paid in the next twelve months.
During the quarter ended January 3, 2020, we finalized our plan to close L3’s former headquarters offices located at 600 Third Avenue in New York City. On December 3, 2019, we entered into an amended lease agreement with the landlord, which reduced the number of leased floors from 6 to 5 effective October 1, 2020 through the expiration of the lease on October 31, 2031. We recorded a $2 million lease modification and a $46 million impairment charge for ROU and other assets in connection with the modification of the lease. These charges are included in the “Engineering, selling and administrative expenses” and “Impairment of goodwill and other assets” line items in our Consolidated Statement of Income for the two quarters ended January 3, 2020. During 2020 we exited the facility and executed agreements to sublease 3 floors to multiple tenants and plan to sublease the remaining floors. We evaluated the lease for further impairment as commercial real estate conditions in New York City deteriorated due to COVID, but determined no further impairment was necessary.
COVID Restructuring Costs. During fiscal 2020, we recorded $15 million of restructuring charges, including workforce reductions and other exit costs within our Aviation Systems segment associated with the COVID-related downturn in our commercial aviation businesses and its impact on global air traffic and customer operations. In addition, during fiscal 2020, we recorded $1 million of restructuring charges for workforce reductions in our Communication Systems segment associated with the COVID impact to local and state government customers of our Public Safety business sector. At January 1, 2021, we had liabilities of $8 million associated with COVID-related restructuring actions, of which substantially all will be paid in the next twelve months.
Other Restructuring and Exit Costs.In fiscal 2017,2018, we recorded $58$5 million of charges for integration and other costs in connection with our acquisition of Exelis substantially all ofInc., which were included as a component of the “Engineering, selling and administrative expenses” line itemwe acquired in our Consolidated Statement of Income.

At January 1, 2021, we had liabilities of $16$5 million and $27 million as of the end of fiscal 2019 and 2018, respectively, associated with these integration activities and previous restructuring actions. The majority of the remaining liabilities as of the end of fiscal 2019actions, which represent lease obligations associated with exited facilities with remaining terms of fivethree years or less.

Other Exit-Related Charges
In fiscal 2018, we also recorded $45 million of charges in connection with our decision to transition and exit a commercial line of business that had been developing an air-to-ground radio access network for the business aviation market based on the Long Term Evolution (“LTE”) standard operating in the unlicensed spectrum. These chargesspectrum The liability associated with this exit activity was paid in fiscal 2019.
Our liabilities for restructuring and other exit costs are included in the “Compensation and benefits,” “Other accrued items” and “Other long-term liabilities” line items in our Consolidated Balance Sheet.

NOTE 5: BUSINESS COMBINATION
On October 12, 2018, Harris Corporation, a componentDelaware corporation, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with L3 Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and Leopard Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and a newly formed, direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Harris (“Merger Sub”), pursuant to which Harris and L3 agreed to combine their respective businesses in an all-stock merger, at the closing of which Merger Sub would merge with and into L3, with L3 continuing as the surviving corporation and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Harris (the “L3Harris Merger”).
The closing of the L3Harris Merger occurred on June 29, 2019 (“Closing Date”), the first day of our Fiscal Transition Period. Upon completion of the L3Harris Merger, Harris was renamed “L3Harris Technologies, Inc.” and each share of L3
91

common stock converted into the right to receive 1.30 shares (“Exchange Ratio”) of L3Harris common stock. Shares of L3Harris common stock, which previously traded under ticker symbol “HRS” on the New York Stock Exchange prior to completion of the L3Harris Merger, are traded under ticker symbol “LHX” following completion of the L3Harris Merger. L3Harris was owned on a fully diluted basis 54 percent by Harris shareholders and 46 percent by L3 shareholders immediately following the completion of the L3Harris Merger.
L3 was a prime contractor in intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (“ISR”) systems, aircraft sustainment (including modifications and fleet management of special mission aircraft), simulation and training, night vision and image intensification equipment, and security and detection systems. L3 also was a leading provider of a broad range of communication, electronic and sensor systems used on military, homeland security and commercial platforms. L3 employed approximately 31,000 employees and its customers included the U.S. Department of Defense and its prime contractors, the U.S. Intelligence Community, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, foreign governments and domestic and foreign commercial customers. L3 generated calendar 2018 revenue of approximately $10 billion.
In connection with completion of the L3Harris Merger, we issued to L3 shareholders 104 million shares of L3Harris common stock, the trading price of which was $189.13 per share as of the Closing Date. In addition, we issued L3Harris share-based awards in replacement of certain outstanding L3 share-based awards held by employees.
We accounted for the L3Harris Merger under the acquisition method of accounting, which required us to measure identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed and any noncontrolling interests in the acquiree at their fair values as of the Closing Date, with the excess of the consideration transferred over those fair values recorded as goodwill.
Our calculation of consideration transferred is as follows:
(In millions, except exchange ratio and per share amounts)June 29, 2019
Outstanding shares of L3 common stock as of June 28, 201979.63

Our preliminary fair value estimates and assumptions to measure the assets acquired, liabilities assumed and noncontrolling interests in L3 were subject to change as we obtained additional information during the measurement period. We completed our accounting for the L3Harris Merger during the quarter ended July 3, 2020. The following table summarizes the initial fair value amounts recognized during the quarter ended September 27, 2019 for each major class of assets acquired or liability assumed and noncontrolling interests, as well as adjustments during the measurement period:

Additionally, we acquired certain off-market customer contracts in connection with the L3Harris Merger, and we have recorded liabilities as well as separate identifiable intangible assets for the acquisition-date fair value of the off-market components of these customer contracts. In aggregate, the acquisition-date fair value of the off-market components was a net liability of $139 million. We measured the fair value of these components as the present value of the amount by which the terms of the contract with the customer deviated from the terms that a market participant could have achieved at the Closing Date. The off-market components of these contracts will be recognized as an increase to, or reduction of, revenue as we incur costs to satisfy the associated performance obligations. We recognized $58 million of revenue in fiscal 2020 for amortization of net off-market contract liabilities (including the cumulative effect of amortization that would have been recognized in the Fiscal Transition Period). We recognized $13 million for amortization of net off-market contract liabilities in the Fiscal Transition Period. Future estimated revenue from the amortization of net off-market contract liabilities (based on the estimated pattern of cash flows to be incurred to satisfy associated performance obligations) is as follows: $20 million in 2021, $15 million in 2022, $10 million in 2023 and $23 million thereafter.
The goodwill resulting from the L3Harris Merger was primarily associated with L3’s market presence and leading positions, growth opportunities in the markets in which L3 businesses operate, experienced work force and established operating infrastructures. Most of the goodwill related to the L3Harris Merger is nondeductible for tax purposes.
See Note 10: Goodwill in these Notes for more information regarding the allocation of goodwill by business segment.

NOTE 6:7: CONTRACT ASSETS AND CONTRACT LIABILITIES
Contract assets include unbilled amounts typically resulting from revenue recognized exceeding amounts billed to customers for contracts utilizing the POC cost-to-cost revenue recognition method. We bill customers as work progresses in accordance with agreed-upon contractual terms, either at periodic intervals, upon achievement of contractual milestones or upon deliveries and, in certain arrangements, the customer may withhold payment of a small portion of the contract price until contract completion. Contract liabilities include advance payments and billings in excess of revenue recognized, including deferred revenue associated with extended product warranties. Contract assets and liabilities are reported on a contract-by-contract basis at the end of each reporting period. The increase in contract

As discussed in more detail in Note 11: Intangible Assets in these Notes, in conjunction with, and in advance of, the tests of goodwill related to our Commercial Aviation Solutions reporting unit, we recorded a $257 million non-cash impairment charge for long-lived assets, including a $103 million impairment charge for property, plant and equipment, which is included in the “Impairment of goodwill and other assets” line item in our Consolidated Statement of Income for fiscal 2020.
NOTE 9:10: GOODWILL

_______________(1)During fiscal 2020, we completed the divestiture of 3 businesses (airport security and automation business, Applied Kilovolts and Analytical Instrumentation business and EOTech business) and derecognized $541 million of goodwill as part of determining the gain or loss on these divestitures. See Note 3: Business Divestitures and Asset Sales in these Notes for additional information.
(1)
(2)In connection with our pending divestiture of the Harris Night Vision business, which is reported as part of our Communication Systems segment, we assigned $30 million of goodwill to the Harris Night Vision business during the quarter ended June 28, 2019 on a relative fair value basis, because the pending divestiture of the Harris Night Vision business represents the disposal of a portion of a reporting unit. Harris Night Vision assets, including assigned goodwill, are presented as “Assets of disposal group held for sale” in our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 28, 2019. See Note 5: Business Combination in these Notes for additional information regarding adjustments to previously estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed.
Commercial Aviation Solutions Impairments. Indications of potential impairment of goodwill related to our Commercial Aviation Solutions reporting unit (which is part of our Aviation Systems segment) were present at April 3, 2020 due to COVID and its impact on global air traffic and customer operations, resulting in a decrease in fiscal 2020 outlook for the reporting unit, which we considered to be a triggering event requiring an interim impairment test. Consequently, in connection with the preparation of our financial statements for the quarter ended April 3, 2020, we performed a quantitative impairment test. To test for potential impairment of goodwill related to our Commercial Aviation Solutions reporting unit, we prepared an estimate of the fair value of the reporting unit based on a combination of market-based valuation techniques, utilizing quoted market prices and comparable publicly reported transactions, and projected discounted cash flows. Given the level of uncertainty in the outlook for the commercial aviation industry caused by the impact of COVID on global air traffic, our methodology for determining the fair value of the reporting unit placed the greatest weight on the expected fair value technique, and was dependent on our best estimates of future sales, operating costs and balance sheet metrics under a range of scenarios for future economic conditions. We assigned a probability to each scenario to calculate a set of probability-weighted projected cash flows, and an appropriate discount rate reflecting the risk in the projected cash flows was used to discount the expected cash flows to present value.
As adverse global economic and market conditions attributable to COVID, including projected declines and subsequent recovery in commercial air traffic and original equipment manufacturer production volumes, continued to develop during fiscal 2020, we continued to monitor for facts and circumstances that could negatively impact key valuation assumptions in determining the fair value of our Commercial Aviation Solutions reporting unit, including recent valuations, expectations regarding the timing of a return to pre-COVID commercial flight activity and the associated level of uncertainty, long-term revenue and profitability projections, discount rates and general industry, market and macroeconomic conditions. As a result, we determined indications of further impairment of assets related to our Commercial Aviation Solutions reporting unit existed as of July 3, 2020 and again as of early December 2020.
As a result of these impairment tests, we concluded that goodwill and other assets related to our Commercial Aviation Solutions reporting unit were impaired as of April 3, 2020, July 3, 2020 and January 1, 2021, and we recorded the following non-cash impairment charges:
•$461 million (including $34 million attributable to noncontrolling interests) for impairment of goodwill during fiscal 2020, including $111 million recognized in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020; and
•$257 million for impairment of long-lived assets recognized during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, including $113 million for identifiable intangibles assets, $103 million for property, plant and equipment, $31 million for ROU assets and $10 million for marketable software.
These charges are included in the “Impairment of goodwill and other assets” line item in our Consolidated Statement of Income for fiscal 2020 and are primarily not deductible for tax purposes.
VSE Disposal Group Impairment. During the quarter ended July 3, 2020, we determined the criteria to be classified as held for sale were met with respect to the VSE disposal group within our Aviation Systems segment and assigned $14 million of goodwill to the VSE disposal group on a relative fair value basis. In connection with the preparation of our financial statements for the quarter ended July 3, 2020, we concluded that goodwill related to the VSE disposal group was impaired and recorded a non-cash impairment charge $14 million, which is included in the “Impairment of goodwill and other assets” line item in our Consolidated Statement of Income for fiscal 2020.Note 3: Discontinued Operations and Divestitures and Note 26: Subsequent Events in these Notes for additional information.

Our customer relationships are established through written customer contracts (revenue arrangements). The fair value for customer relationships is determined, as of June 28, 2019the date of acquisition, based on estimates and exclude any information related tojudgments regarding expectations for the estimated future after-tax earnings and any potential impact that has resulted or may resultcash flows arising from the L3Harris Merger (as described in Note 1: Significant Accounting Policies under “Principlesfollow-on sales expected from the customer relationships over the estimated lives, including the probability of Consolidation”expected future contract renewals and Note 26: Subsequent Events).
sales, less a contributory assets charge, all of which is discounted to present value. We assess the recoverability of the carrying value of our long-lived assets, includingfinite-lived identifiable intangible assets with finite useful lives, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. We assess the recoverability of the carrying value of indefinite-lived identifiable intangible assets annually, or under certain circumstances more frequently, such as when events and circumstances indicate there may be an impairment.
IntangibleIn conjunction with, and in advance of, the tests of goodwill related to our Commercial Aviation Solutions reporting unit, we also performed recoverability tests of the long-lived assets of our Commercial Aviation Solutions reporting unit, including identifiable intangible assets and property, plant and equipment. To test these long-lived assets for recoverability, we compared the estimated future cash flows (on an undiscounted basis) to be generated from the use and hypothetical eventual disposition of the asset group to its carrying value. As a result, we concluded that the long-lived assets of our Commercial Aviation Solutions reporting unit were impaired as of January 1, 2021 and we recorded a $257 million non-cash impairment charge, including $113 million for impairment of identifiable intangible assets in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, which is included in the “Impairment of goodwill and other assets” line item in our Consolidated Statement of Income for fiscal 2020.

(1)During fiscal 2020, we completed the divestiture of 3 businesses and derecognized $296 million of intangibles as part of the gain or loss on these divestitures. Additionally, in connection with a pending divestiture, we reclassified $5 million of identifiable intangible assets to “Assets of disposal group held for sale” in our Consolidated Balance Sheet at January 1, 2021. See Note 3: Business Divestitures and Asset Sales in these Notes for additional information regarding divestitures.
Amortization expense for identifiable intangible assets was $729 million and $290 million in fiscal 2020 and the two quarters ended January 3, 2020, respectively, and primarily related to the L3Harris Merger and our acquisition of Exelis. Amortization expense for identifiable intangible assets was $115 million $117 million and $126$117 million in fiscal 2019 and 2018, respectively, and 2017, respectively, including approximately $101 million, $101 million and $109 million, respectively, of amortization expense for intangible assetsprimarily related to our acquisition of Exelis.

NOTE 12:13: CREDIT ARRANGEMENTS
On June 28, 2019, we established a new $2 billion, 5-year senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the “2019 Credit Facility”) by entering into a Revolving Credit Agreement (the “2019 Credit Agreement”) with a syndicate of lenders. The 2019 Credit Facility replaced our prior $1 billion, 5-year senior unsecured revolving credit facility established under the Revolving Credit Agreement, dated as of June 26, 2018 (the “2018 Credit Agreement”). NoNaN loans or letters of credit under the 2018 Credit Agreement were outstanding at the time of, or were repaid in connection with, such termination, and we incurred no0 early termination penalties as a result of such termination.
The 2019 Credit Agreement provides for the extension of credit to us in the form of revolving loans, including swingline loans and letters of credit, at any time and from time to time during the term of the 2019 Credit Agreement, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding not to exceed $2 billion for both revolving loans and letters of credit, with a sub-limit of $140 million for swingline loans and a sub-limit of $350 million for letters of credit. Borrowings under the 2019 Credit Agreement may be denominated in U.S. Dollars, Euros, Sterling and any other currency acceptable to the administrative agent and the lenders, with a foreign currency sub-limit of $400 million. The 2019 Credit Agreement includes a provision pursuant to which, from time to time, we may request that the lenders in their discretion increase the maximum amount of commitments under the 2019 Credit Agreement by an amount not to exceed $1 billion. Only consenting lenders (including new lenders reasonably acceptable to the administrative agent) will participate in any increase. In no event will the maximum amount of credit extensions available under the 2019 Credit Agreement exceed $3 billion. The proceeds of loans or letters of credit borrowings under the 2019 Credit Agreement are restricted from being used for hostile acquisitions (as defined in the 2019 Credit Agreement) or for any purpose in contravention of applicable laws. We are not otherwise restricted under the 2019 Credit Agreement from using the proceeds of loans or letters of credit borrowings under the 2019 Credit Agreement for working capital and other general corporate purposes or from using the 2019 Credit Facility to refinance existing debt and to repay maturing commercial paper issued by us from time to time. Subject to certain conditions stated in the 2019 Credit Agreement (including the absence of any default and the accuracy of certain representations and warranties), we may borrow, prepay and re-borrow amounts under the 2019 Credit Agreement at any time during the term of the 2019 Credit Agreement.
The 2019 Credit Agreement provides that we may designate wholly-owned subsidiaries organized in the United States, Canada or the United Kingdom (or such other jurisdictions as all lenders shall approve) as borrowers under the 2019 Credit Agreement. The obligations of any such subsidiary borrower shall be guaranteed by us.
The 2019 Credit Agreement provides that we may from time to time designate certain of our subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries, which means certain of the representations and covenants in the 2019 Credit Agreement do not apply in respect of such subsidiaries.
At our election, borrowings under the 2019 Credit Agreement denominated in U.S. Dollars will bear interest either at (i) the eurocurrency rate for the applicable interest period plus an applicable margin, or (ii) the base rate plus an applicable margin. The eurocurrency rate for an interest period is the rate per annum equal to (a) the London interbank offered rate (“LIBOR”) for such interest period, divided by (b) a percentage equal to 1.00 minus the daily average eurocurrency reserve rate for such interest period. The applicable interest rate margin over the eurocurrency rate is initiallycurrently equal to 1.375%1.250%, but may increase (to a maximum amount of 1.875%) or decrease (to a minimum amount of 1.125%) based on changes in the ratings of our senior unsecured long-term debt securities (“Senior Debt Ratings”). The base rate for any day is a rate per annum equal to the greatest of (i) the prime lending rate published in the Wall Street Journal, (ii) the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (“NYFRB”) Rate (“NYFRB Rate”) plus 0.500% (the NYFRB Rate is the greater of (a) the federal funds rate and (b) the overnight bank funding rate
99

published by the NYFRB,NYFRB), and (iii) the eurocurrency rate for a one month interest period (as defined in the 2019 Credit Agreement) plus 1.000%. The applicable interest rate margin over the base rate is initially equal to 0.375%, but may increase (to a maximum amount of 0.875%) or decrease (to a minimum amount of 0.125%) based on changes in our Senior Debt Ratings.
Borrowings under the 2019 Credit Agreement denominated in a currency other than U.S. Dollars will bear interest at the eurocurrency rate for the applicable interest period plus an applicable margin, as described above, plus, in some cases, additional costs. Letter of credit fees are also determined based on our Senior Debt Ratings.
In addition to interest payable on the principal amount of indebtedness outstanding from time to time under the 2019 Credit Agreement and letter of credit fees, we are required to pay a quarterly unused commitment fee, which shall accrue at an applicable rate per annum multiplied by the actual daily amount of the lenders’ aggregate unused commitments under the 2019 Credit Agreement. The applicable rate per annum for the unused commitment fee is initiallycurrently equal to 0.200%0.150%, but may increase (to a maximum amount of 0.300%) or decrease (to a minimum amount of 0.125%) based on changes in our Senior Debt Ratings.

The 2019 Credit Agreement contains certain representations and warranties for the benefit of the administrative agent and the lenders, including but not limited to representations relating to: due incorporation and good standing; due authorization of the 2019 Credit Agreement documentation; absence of any requirement for governmental or third party authorization for the due execution, delivery and performance of the 2019 Credit Agreement documentation; enforceability of the 2019 Credit Agreement documentation; accuracy of financial statements; no material adverse effect since June 29, 2018; absence of material undisclosed litigation onas of June 28, 2019; compliance with the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”) and environmental, anti-money laundering, sanctions, anti-corruption and certain other laws; payment of taxes; and solvency.
The 2019 Credit Agreement contains certain affirmative covenants, including but not limited to covenants relating to: reporting obligations; maintenance of corporate existence and good standing; compliance with laws; maintenance of properties and insurance; payment of taxes; compliance with ERISA and environmental, anti-money laundering, sanctions, export controls, anti-corruption and certain other laws; maintenance of accurate books and records; and visitation and inspection by the administrative agent and the lenders. The 2019 Credit Agreement also contains certain negative covenants, including covenants: limiting certain liens on assets; limiting certain mergers, consolidations or sales of assets; limiting certain sale and leaseback transactions; limiting certain vendor financing investments; limiting certain investments in unrestricted subsidiaries; and limiting certain hedging arrangements. The 2019 Credit Agreement also requires that we not permit our ratio of consolidated total indebtedness (excluding defined benefit plan liabilities) to total capital, each as defined in the 2019 Credit Agreement, to be greater than 0.65:1.00. We were in compliance with the covenants in the 2019 Credit Agreement at June 28, 2019.January 1, 2021.
The 2019 Credit Agreement contains certain events of default, including: failure to make payments under the 2019 Credit Agreement; failure to perform or observe terms, covenants or agreements contained in the 2019 Credit Agreement; material inaccuracy of any representation or warranty under the 2019 Credit Agreement; payment default by us or certain of our subsidiaries under other indebtedness with a principal amount in excess of $200 million or acceleration of or ability to accelerate such other indebtedness; occurrence of one or more final judgments or orders for the payment by us or certain of our subsidiaries of money in excess of $200 million that remain unsatisfied; incurrence by us or certain of our subsidiaries of certain ERISA liability in excess of $200 million; any bankruptcy or insolvency of L3Harris or any material subsidiary; invalidity of 2019 Credit Agreement documentation; or a change of control (as defined in the 2019 Credit Agreement) of L3Harris. If an event of default occurs, then the lenders may, among other things, terminate their commitments and declare all outstanding borrowings to be immediately due and payable together with accrued interest and fees.
All principal amounts borrowed or outstanding under the 2019 Credit Agreement are due on June 28, 2024, unless (i) the commitments are terminated earlier either at our request or if certain events of default described in the 2019 Credit Agreement occur or (ii) the maturity date is extended pursuant to provisions allowing us, from time to time after June 28, 2020, but at least 45 days prior to the scheduled maturity date then in effect, to request that the scheduled maturity date then in effect be extended by one calendar year (with no more than one1 such extension permitted in any calendar year and no more than two2 such extensions during the term of the 2019 Credit Agreement), subject to approval by lenders holding a majority of the commitments under the 2019 Credit Agreement and satisfaction of certain conditions stated in the 2019 Credit Agreement (including the absence of any default and the accuracy of certain representations and warranties); provided, however, that all revolving loans of those lenders declining to participate in the requested extension and whose commitments under the 2019 Credit Agreement have not been replaced pursuant to customary replacement rights in our favor shall remain due and payable in full, and all commitments under the 2019 Credit Agreement of such declining lenders shall terminate, on the maturity date in effect prior to the requested extension. At June 28, 2019,January 1, 2021, we had no0 borrowings outstanding under the 2019 Credit Facility, but we had $100 million of short-term debt outstanding under our commercial paper program that was supported by the 2019 Credit Facility.

Long-Term Debt Repaid in Fiscal 2020    
Fixed-rate Debt. On December 14, 2020, we completed our optional redemption of the entire outstanding $650 million aggregate principal amount of our 4.95% 2021 Notes (as defined below under “Debt Exchange”) for a redemption price of $650 million as set forth in the 4.95% 2021 Notes. After adjusting for the carrying value of our unamortized premium, we recorded a $2 million gain on the extinguishment of the 4.95% 2021 Notes, which is included as a component of the “Non-operating income” line item in our Consolidated Statement of Income for fiscal 2020.
Variable-rate Debt. During the second quarter of fiscal 2020, we repaid at maturity the entire outstanding $250 million aggregate principal amount of our Floating Rate Notes due April 30, 2020.
Long-Term Debt Issued in Fiscal 2020
Fixed-rate Debt. On November 25, 2020, in order to fund the optional redemption of the 4.95% 2021 Notes as described above under “Long-Term Debt Repaid in Fiscal 2020”, we completed the issuance of $650 million in aggregate principal amount of 1.80% notes due January 15, 2031 (the “1.80% 2031 Notes”). Interest on the 1.80% 2031 Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year, three;commencing on July 15, 2021. At any time prior to October 15, 2030, we may redeem the 1.80% 2031 Notes, in whole or in part, at our option, at a “make-whole” redemption price equal to the greater of 100 percent of the principal amount of the 1.80% 2031 Notes or the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of the principal plus accrued interest (other than interest accruing to the date of redemption) on the notes being redeemed, discounted
101

to the redemption date on a semi-annual basis at the “Treasury Rate”, as defined in the 1.80% 2031 Notes, plus 15 basis points. We will pay accrued interest on the principal amount of notes being redeemed to, but not including, the redemption date. At any time on or after October 15, 2030, we may redeem the 1.80% 2031 Notes, in whole or in part, at our option, at a redemption price equal to 100 percent of the principal amount of the notes being redeemed, plus accrued interest on the principal amount of the notes being redeemed to, but not including, the redemption date. In addition, upon change of control combined with a below-investment-grade rating event, we may be required to make an offer to repurchase the 1.80% 2031 Notes at a price equal to 101 percent of the aggregate principal amount of the notes being repurchased, plus accrued interest on the notes being repurchased to, but not including, the date of repurchase. We incurred $6 million of debt issuance costs related to the issuance of the 1.80% 2031 Notes, which are being amortized using the effective interest rate method over the life of the 1.80% 2031 Notes, and such amortization is included as a component of the “Interest expense” line item in our Consolidated Statement of Income.
Variable-rate Debt. During the first quarter of 2020, we completed the issuance and sale of $250 million in aggregate principal amount of Floating Rate Notes due March 10, 2023 (the “Floating Rate Notes 2023”). The Floating Rate Notes 2023 bear interest at a floating rate, reset quarterly, equal to three-month LIBOR plus 0.75% per year. Interest on the Floating Rate Notes 2023 is payable quarterly in arrears on March 10, June 10, September 10 and December 10 of each year, commencing on June 10, 2020. The Floating Rate Notes 2023 are unsecured and unsubordinated and rank equally in right of payment with all other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. The Floating Rate Notes 2023 are not redeemable at our option prior to maturity. Debt issuance costs related to the issuance of the Floating Rate Notes 2023 were not material. We used the net proceeds from the sale of the Floating Rate Notes 2023 to repay at maturity the aggregate principal amount of our Floating Rate Notes due April 30, 2020 as described above under “Long-Term Debt Repaid in Fiscal 2020”.
Debt Exchange
In connection with the L3Harris Merger, on July 2, 2019, we settled our previously announced debt exchange offers in which eligible holders of L3 senior notes (“L3 Notes”) could exchange such outstanding notes for (1) up to $3.35 billion aggregate principal amount of new notes issued by L3Harris (“New L3Harris Notes”) and (2) one dollar in cash for each $1,000 of principal amount. Each series of the New L3Harris Notes issued has an interest rate and maturity date that is identical to the L3 Notes.

Total$3,350 $3,021 $329 
Following the settlement of the exchange offers, there was $329 million of existing L3 Notes outstanding, which remained the senior unsecured obligations of L3.
On December 14, 2020, we redeemed the 4.95% 2021 Notes, as described above under “Long-Term Debt Repaid in Fiscal 2020.” Interest on the remaining New L3Harris Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and December 15, commencing on December 15, 2019, in the case of the 3.85% 2023 Notes, 3.85% 2026 Notes and 4.40% 2028 Notes; and on May 28 and November 28, commencing on November 28, 2019, in the case of the 3.95% 2024 Notes. The New L3Harris Notes are unsecured senior obligations and rank equally in right of payment with all other L3Harris senior unsecured debt.
The New L3Harris Notes are redeemable in whole or in part at any time or in part from time to time, at our option, until three months prior to the maturity date, in the case of the 3.95% 2024 Notes, 3.85% 2026 Notes and 4.40% 2028 Notes, and until one month prior to the maturity date, in the case of the 3.85% 2023 Notes, at a redemption price equal to the greater of 100 percent of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed or the sum of the present values of the principal amount and the remaining scheduled payments of interest on the notes to be redeemed, discounted from the scheduled payment dates to the date of redemption at the “treasury rate” as defined in the note, plus 20 basis points, in the case of the 3.85% 2023 Notes and 3.95% 2024 Notes, or 25 basis points, in the case of the 3.85% 2026 Notes and 4.40% 2028 Notes, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest due at the date of redemption.
On March 31, 2020, we commenced offers to eligible holders (“Exchange Offers”) to exchange any and all outstanding New L3Harris Notes issued by L3Harris as set forth in the table above (the “Original Notes”), which were previously issued pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), for an equal principal amount of new notes registered under the Securities Act (the “Exchange Notes”).
102

The Exchange Notes were offered to satisfy L3Harris’ obligations under the registration rights agreement entered into as part of the issuance of the Original Notes, which occurred in exchange for the L3 Notes as described above.

Defined Benefit Plan Assumptions
The determination of the assumptions related to defined benefit plans are based on the provisions of the applicable accounting pronouncements, review of various market data and discussions with our actuaries. We develop each assumption using relevant Company experience in conjunction with market-related data. Assumptions are reviewed annually and adjusted as appropriate.

The following tables provide the weighted-average assumptions used to determine projected benefit obligations and net periodic benefit cost, as they pertain to our defined benefit pension plans in existence as of June 28, 2019:plans:

The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets reflects the expected returns for each major asset class in which the plans invest, the weight of each asset class in the strategic allocation, the correlations among asset classes and their expected volatilities. Our expected rate of return on plan assets is estimated by evaluating both historical returns and estimates of future returns. Specifically, the determination of the expected long-term rate of return takes into consideration: (1) the plan’s actual historical annual return on assets over the past 15-, 20- and 25-year time periods, (2) historical broad market returns over long-term timeframes weighted by the plan’s strategic allocation, and (3) independent estimates of future long-term asset class returns, weighted by the plan’s strategic allocation. Based on this approach, the long-term expected annual rate of return on assets is estimated at 7.75%7.50% for the Fiscal Transition Periodfiscal 2021 for the U.S. defined benefit pension plans. The weighted average long-term expected annual rate of return on assets for all defined benefit pension plans is estimated at 7.67%to be 7.43% for the Fiscal Transition Period.fiscal 2021. In fiscal 2019,2020, we adopted updated mortality tables, which resulted in a decrease in the defined benefit plans’ projected benefit obligation as of June 28, 2019January 1, 2021 and estimated net periodic benefit cost beginning with the Fiscal Transition Period.fiscal 2021.
The assumed composite rate of future increases in the per capita cost of healthcare costs (the healthcare trend rate) was 6.50% for fiscal 2019 was 7.35% for pre-age 65 benefits and 6.85% for post-age 65 benefits,2021, decreasing ratably to 4.75% in4.70% by fiscal 2027. The corresponding assumed rate for the Fiscal Transition Period is 7.00% for pre-age 65 benefits and 6.55% for post-age 65 benefits, decreasing ratably to 4.75% in fiscal 2028. Increasing or decreasing the healthcare cost trend rates by one percent per year would not have a material effect on the benefit obligation or the aggregate annual service and interest cost components.2030. To the extent that actual experience differs from these assumptions, the effect will be accumulated and generally amortized for each plan to the extent required over the estimated future life expectancy or, if applicable, the future working lifetime of the plan’s active participants.
Investment Policy
The investment strategy for managing defined benefit plan assets is to seek an optimal rate of return relative to an appropriate level of risk. We manage substantially all defined benefit plan assets on a commingled basis in a master investment trust. In making these asset allocation decisions, we take into account recent and expected returns and volatility of returns for each asset class, the expected correlation of returns among the different investments, as well as anticipated funding and cash flows. To enhance returns and mitigate risk, we diversify our investments by strategy, asset class, geography and sector and engage a large number of managers to gain broad exposure to the markets.

The following table provides the current strategic target asset allocation ranges by asset category:

Fair Value of Plan Assets
The following is a description of the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for major categories of investments as reflected in the table that follows such description:
•Domestic and international equities, which include common and preferred shares, domestic listed and foreign listed equity securities, open-ended and closed-ended mutual funds, real estate investment trusts and exchange traded funds, are generally valued at the closing price reported on the major market exchanges on which the individual securities are traded at the measurement date. Because these assets are traded predominantly on liquid, widely traded public exchanges, equity securities are categorized as Level 1 assets.
•Private equity funds, which include buy-out, mezzanine, venture capital, distressed asset and secondary funds, are typically limited partnership investment structures. Private equity funds are valued using a market approach based on NAV calculated by the funds and are not publicly available. Private equity funds generally have liquidity restrictions that extend for ten or more years. At June 28, 2019January 1, 2021 and June 29, 2018,January 3, 2020, our defined benefit plans had future unfunded commitments totaling $355$518 million and $246$325 million, respectively, related to private equity fund investments.
110

•Hedge funds, which include equity long/short, event-driven, fixed-income arbitrage and global macro strategies, are typically limited partnership investment structures. Limited partnership interests in hedge funds are valued using a market approach based on NAV calculated by the funds and are not publicly available. Hedge funds generally permit redemption on a quarterly or more frequent basis with 90 or fewer days-notice. At each of June 28, 2019January 1, 2021 and June 29, 2018,January 3, 2020, our defined benefit plans had no0 future unfunded commitments related to hedge fund investments.
•Fixed income investments, which include U.S. Government securities, and investment and non-investment grade corporate bonds and securitized bonds are generally valued using pricing models that use verifiable, observable market data such as interest rates, benchmark yield curves and credit spreads, bids provided by brokers or dealers, or quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics. Fixed income investments are generally categorized as Level 2 assets. Fixed income funds valued at the closing price reported on the major market exchanges on which the individual fund is traded are categorized as Level 1 assets.
•Other is primarily comprised of guaranteed insurance contracts valued at book value, which approximates fair value, calculated using the prior-year balance adjusted for investment returns and changes in cash flows.flows and corporate owned life insurance policies valued at the accumulated benefit.
•Cash and cash equivalents are primarily comprised of short-term money market funds valued at cost, which approximates fair value, or valued at quoted market prices of identical instruments. Cash and currency are categorized as Level 1 assets; cash equivalents, such as money market funds or short-term commingled funds, are categorized as Level 2 assets.
•Certain investments that are valued using the NAV per share (or its equivalent) as a practical expedient are not categorized in the fair value hierarchy and are included in the table to permit reconciliation of the fair value hierarchy to the aggregate postretirement benefit plan assets.

The following table providestables provide the fair value of plan assets held by our defined benefit plans by asset category and by fair value hierarchy level:

Contributions
Funding requirements under Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) rules are a major consideration in making contributions to our postretirement benefit plans. With respect to U.S. qualified pension plans, we intend to contribute annually not less than the required minimum funding thresholds.
The Highway and Transportation Funding Act of 2014 and the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015 (“BBA 2015”) further extended the interest rate stabilization provision of MAP-21 until 2020. We made a $302 million voluntary contributionscontribution to our U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plans during the two quarters ended January 3, 2020. As a result of this voluntary contribution, as well as $300 million and $400 million of voluntary contributions in fiscal 2018 and 2017, respectively, we made no material contributions to our U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plans during fiscal 2018 and 2017, respectively. As a result,2020 or 2019. Furthermore, we did notare 0t required to make any contributions to our U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plans and only minor contributions to our non-U.S. pension plan in fiscal 2019. In addition to the anticipated voluntary contributions to L3Harris pension plans from the pending divestiture of the Harris Night Vision business disclosed in Note 26: Subsequent Events in these Notes, we currently anticipate making $2 million of contributions to Harris U.S. qualified pension plans and $23 million of contributions to L3 U.S. qualified pension plans during the Fiscal Transition Period.2021.

As of June 28, 2019,At January 1, 2021, we had options or other share-based compensation outstanding under two2 Harris 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 CorporationL3Harris Technologies, Inc. 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (As Amended and Restated Effective August 28, 2020) (the “2015 EIP”)(prior to July 3, 2015, we had an additional shareholder approved SIP, as well as under which options or other share-based compensation was outstanding). Grantsemployee stock incentive plans of share-based awards after October 23, 2015 were made under our 2015 EIP.L3 assumed by L3Harris (collectively, “L3Harris SIPs”). We believe that share-based awards more closely

align the interests of participants with those of shareholders. Certain share-based
Harris equity awards provide for accelerated vesting if there isgranted prior to October 12, 2018, in accordance with the terms and conditions that were applicable to such awards prior to the L3Harris Merger, generally automatically vested upon closing of the L3Harris Merger and settled in L3Harris Common Stock, except stock options which automatically vested and remained outstanding. Harris equity awards granted on or after October 12, 2018 did not automatically vest upon closing of the L3Harris Merger, and instead remained outstanding as an award with respect to L3Harris common stock in accordance with the terms that were applicable to such award prior to the L3Harris Merger.
L3’s equity awards granted prior to October 12, 2018, in accordance with the terms and conditions that were applicable to such awards prior to the L3Harris Merger, generally automatically vested upon closing of the L3Harris Merger and settled in L3Harris common stock (except stock options automatically converted into stock options with respect to L3Harris common stock and remained outstanding), in each case, after giving effect to the Exchange Ratio and appropriate adjustments to reflect the consummation of the L3Harris Merger and the terms and conditions applicable to such awards prior to the L3Harris Merger. Any L3 restricted stock unit or L3 restricted stock award granted on or after October 12, 2018 was converted into a changecorresponding award with respect to L3Harris common stock, with the number of shares underlying such award adjusted based on the Exchange Ratio, and remained outstanding in control (as defined under our SIPs).accordance with the terms that were applicable to such award prior to the L3Harris Merger. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, L3Harris assumed the converted L3 equity awards.

Stock Options
The following information relates to stock options, including performance stock options, that have been granted under shareholder-approved L3Harris SIPs. Option exercise prices are equal to or greater than the fair market value of our common stock on the date the options are granted, using the closing stock price of our common stock. Options may be exercised for a period of ten years after the date of grant, and options, other than performance stock options, generally become exercisable in installments, which are typically 33.3 percent one year from the grant date, 33.3 percent two years from the grant date and 33.3 percent three years from the grant date. In certain instances, vesting and exercisability are also subject to performance criteria.
The fair value as of the grant date of each option award was determined using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model which uses assumptions noted in the following table. Expected volatility over the expected term of the options is based on implied volatility from traded options on our common stock and the historical volatility of our stock price. The expected term of the options is based on historical observations of our common stock, considering average years to exercise for all options exercised and average years to cancellation for all options canceled, as well as average years remaining for vested outstanding options, which is calculated based on the weighted-average of these three inputs. The risk-free interest rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.
A summary of the significant assumptions used in determining the fair value of stock option grants under our L3Harris SIPs is as follows:
 2019 2018 2017
      
Expected dividends1.6% 1.8% 2.4%

Performance Share Unit Awards
The following information relates to awards of performance share units that have been granted to employees under our L3Harris SIPs. Generally, these awards are subject to performance criteria, such as meeting predetermined operating income or earnings per share and return on invested capital targets (and market conditions, such as total shareholder return (“TSR”)) for a 3-year performance period. These awards also generally vest at the expiration of the same 3-year period. The final determination of the number of shares to be issued in respect of an award is made by our Board of Directors or a committee of our Board of Directors.
The fair value as of the grant date of these awards was determined based on a fair value from a multifactor Monte Carlo valuation model that simulatesthe closing price of our common stock priceon the grant date and 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. The fair value of these awards is amortized to compensation expense over the vesting period if achievement of the performance measures is considered probable. At June 28, 2019,January 1, 2021, there were 509,749249,695 performance share units outstanding which were payable in shares.

NOTE 19:20: DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
In the normal course of business, we are exposed to global market risks, including the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Additionally, during January 2019, we entered into a yield-based treasury lock agreement with a third-party financial institution counterparty (“treasury lock”) to hedge against fluctuationsrates and changes in interest payments due to changes in the benchmark interest rate (10-year U.S. Treasury rate) associated with our anticipated issuance of long-term fixed-rate notes (“New Notes”) to redeem or repay at maturity the entire $400 million outstanding principal amount of our 2.7% notes due April 27, 2020 (“2020 Notes”).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 also may enter into derivative instruments that are not designated as hedges and do not qualify for hedge accounting. We recognize all derivatives in our Consolidated Balance Sheet at fair value. We do not hold or issue derivatives for speculative trading purposes.
As of June 28, 2019, we had an open treasury lock agreement with a notional amount of $400 million that was classified as a cash flow hedge, and we had no open foreign currency forward contracts. This compares with open foreign currency forward contracts with an aggregate notional amount of $39 million at June 29, 2018, of which $4 million were classified as fair value hedges and $35 million were classified as cash flow hedges.
Exchange Rate Risk — Fair Value 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 have used 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 our Consolidated Statement of Income. As of June 28, 2019,
At January 1, 2021, we had no0 outstanding foreign currency forward contracts to hedge balance sheet items. The net gains or losses on foreign currency forward contracts designated as fair value hedges were not material in fiscal 2020, the two quarters ended January 3, 2020, or fiscal 2019 2018 or 2017.2018. In addition, no0 amounts were recognized in earnings in fiscal 2020, the two quarters ended January 3, 2020, or fiscal 2019 2018 or 20172018 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 have useduse 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 have beenare used to hedge currency exposures from cash flows anticipated across our business segments. We also have hedgedhedge U.S. Dollar payments to suppliers to maintain our anticipated profit margins in our international operations. 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(loss) and are categorized in Level 2 of hedge ineffectiveness.the fair value hierarchy. Gains and losses in accumulated other comprehensive incomeloss 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 our Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows as the cash flows of the related hedged items.
As Notional amounts are used to measure the volume of June 28, 2019, we had no outstanding foreign currency forward contracts and do not represent exposure to hedgeforeign currency losses. At January 1, 2021, we had open foreign currency forward contracts with an aggregate notional amount of $488 million, hedging certain forecasted transactions. transactions denominated in U.S. Dollars, Canadian Dollars, British Pounds, Euros, Australian Dollars, and New Zealand Dollars. At January 3, 2020, we had open foreign currency forward contracts with an aggregate notional amount of $511 million, hedging certain forecasted transactions denominated in U.S. Dollars, Euros, British Pounds, Australian Dollars, Canadian Dollars and United Arab Emirates Dirham.
At January 1, 2021, our foreign currency forward contracts had maturities through 2025.

Gains and losses from foreign currency derivatives designated as cash flow hedges are included in the netline item in our Consolidated Statement of Income associated with the hedged transaction, with the exception of the losses resulting from discontinued cash flow hedges, which are included in the “Engineering, selling and administrative expenses” line item in our Consolidated Statement of Income.
At January 1, 2021, the estimated amount of existing gains to be reclassified into earnings within the next twelve months was $19 million.
Interest-Rate Risk — Cash Flow Hedges
At January 1, 2021, we had 0 treasury lock agreements (“treasury locks”) classified as cash flow hedges. At January 3, 2020, we had 2 treasury locks with third-party financial institution counterparties with a combined notional amount of $650 million that were classified as cash flow hedges.
On November 25, 2020, in order to fund our optional redemption of the 4.95% 2021 Notes as described in Note 14: Debt in these Notes, we completed the issuance of $650 million in aggregate principal amount of the 1.80% 2031 Notes. In connection with the L3Harris Merger, we assumed 2 treasury locks that were initiated in January 2019 to hedge against fluctuations in interest payments due to changes in the benchmark interest rate (10-year U.S. Treasury rate) associated with the anticipated issuance of debt to redeem or losses recognizedrepay the 4.95% 2021 Notes. These treasury locks were terminated as planned in connection with our issuance of the 1.80% 2031 Notes during the quarter ended January 1, 2021, and because interest rates decreased during the period of the treasury locks, we made a cash payment to our counterparty and recorded an after-tax loss of $58 million in the “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” line item of our Consolidated Balance Sheet. The accumulated other comprehensive loss balance will be amortized to interest expense over the life of the 1.80% 2031 Notes. We classified the cash outflow from the termination of these treasury locks as cash used in financing activities in our Consolidated Balance Sheet asStatement of June 28, 2019 that will be reclassified to earnings from accumulated other comprehensive income withinCash Flows.
At January 3, 2020, the next 12 months to be material.
Interest-Rate Risk — Cash Flow Hedges
As noted above, in anticipation of the issuance of the New Notes to redeem or repay at maturity the 2020 Notes, we entered into a treasury lock with a notional value of $400 million. We designated the treasury lock as a cash flow hedge against fluctuations in interest payments on the New Notes due to changes in the benchmark interest rate prior to issuance, which we expect to occur between August 2019 and April 2020. If the benchmark interest rate increases during the period of the agreement, the treasury lock position will become an asset and we will receive a cash payment from the counterparty when we terminate the treasury lock upon issuance of the New Notes. Conversely, if the benchmark interest rate decreases, the treasury lock position will become a liability and we will make a cash payment to the counterparty when we terminate the treasury lock upon issuance of the New Notes. Thecombined fair value of thethese treasury lock is measured using a pricing model that utilizes observable market data such as the benchmark interest rate.
At June 28, 2019, the fair value of the treasury locklocks was a liability of $26$56 million, which was categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and recorded in the “Other accrued items”long-term liabilities” line item in our Consolidated Balance Sheet with a correspondingSheet. The unrealized after-tax loss of $20 millionassociated with these treasury locks included in the “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” line item in our Consolidated Balance Sheet representingwas $16 million at January 3, 2020. We recognized a $35 million liability for these treasury locks as part of our purchase accounting for the effective portionL3Harris Merger.
On November 27, 2019, in order to fund our optional redemption of the 2.7% 2020 Notes as described in Note 14: Debt in these Notes, we completed the issuance of $400 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2.90% 2029 Notes. In January 2019, we initiated a treasury lock to hedge against fluctuations in interest payments due to changes in the benchmark interest rate (10-year U.S. Treasury rate) associated with the anticipated issuance of debt to redeem or repay the 2.7% 2020 Notes. This treasury lock was terminated as planned in connection with our issuance of the 2.90% 2029 notes during the quarter ended January 3, 2020, and because interest rates decreased during the period of the treasury lock’s changelock, we made a cash payment to our counterparty and recorded an after-tax loss of $24 million in fair value during fiscal 2019.the “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” line item of our Consolidated Balance Sheet. The ineffective portionaccumulated other comprehensive loss balance will be amortized to interest expense over the life of the 2.90% 2029 Notes. We classified the cash outflow from the termination of this treasury lock’s changelock as cash used in fair value was immaterial during fiscal 2019.

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.

Tax Law Changes
On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “Tax Act”) was signed into U.S. law. Among other provisions, the Tax Act reduced the U.S. statutory corporate income tax rate from a maximum 35 percent to a flat 21 percent, effective January 1, 2018. Based on our fiscal year end, our blended U.S. statutory corporate income tax rate for fiscal 2018 was 28.1 percent. This drop in the tax rate resulted in a one-time benefit of $26 million ($.21 per diluted share) at the date of enactment. Additionally, we recognized expense of $8 million in fiscal 2018 to revalue our existing net deferred income tax balances.
During the second quarter of fiscal 2019, we completed our accounting for the income tax impact of enactment of the Tax Act and there were no material changes from the estimates reported in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on December 13, 2018.
The implementation of a modified territorial tax system under the Tax Act subjects us to tax on our Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (GILTI)(“GILTI”) starting with fiscal 2019. The FASBFinancial Accounting Standards Board has permitted companies to make an accounting policy decision to either (1) treat taxes due on future GILTI inclusions in U.S. taxable income as a current-period expense when incurred (“period cost method”) or (2) factor such amounts into the measurement of its deferred taxes (“deferred method”). We have elected to use the period cost method.

Tax loss and credit carryforwards at June 28, 2019January 1, 2021 have expiration dates ranging between two yearsfrom less than one year and no expiration in certain instances. The tax-effected amounts of federal, international, and state and local operating loss carryforwards at June 28, 2019January 1, 2021 were $24$7 million, $108$43 million and $369$15 million, respectively. The amounttax-effected amounts of U.S.federal, international, and state and local capital loss carryforwards aswere not material at January 1, 2021. The amounts of June 28, 2019 was $352 million. Incomefederal, international, and state and local credit carryforwards at January 1, 2021 were $6 million, $10 million and $81 million, respectively.
Loss from continuing operations before income taxes of international subsidiaries was $37 million, $43 million and $42$101 million in fiscal 2020 and income from continuing operations before income taxes of international subsidiaries was $96 million, $37 million and $43 million in the two quarters ended January 3, 2020, and in fiscal 2019 2018 and 2017,2018, respectively. We paid $137 $394 million in income tax,taxes, net of refunds received, in fiscal 2019,2020; received $8 million in income tax refunds, net of income taxes paid, in the two quarters ended January 3, 2020; paid $137 million in income taxes, net of refunds received, in fiscal 2019; and received $8 million in income tax refunds, net of income taxes paid, in fiscal 2018, and paid $51 million, net of refunds received, in fiscal 2017. The successful completion, during the second half of calendar year 2019, of the sales of entities currently held-for-sale may result in capital gains that would allow us to realize a substantial portion of our capital loss carryforwards. A related reversal of valuation allowance on these deferred tax assets would be recognized as an income tax benefit upon such utilization.

As of June 28, 2019,January 1, 2021, we had $204$542 million of unrecognized tax benefits, of which $162$453 million would favorably impact our future tax rates in the event that the tax benefits are eventually recognized. Upon recognition of a portion of these benefits, we also expect to recognize an additional $9 million of current expense which will offset the favorable rate impact from the unrecognized tax benefits. As of June 29, 2018,January 3, 2020, we had $102$438 million of unrecognized tax benefits, of which $92$313 million would favorably impact our future tax rates in the event that the tax benefits are eventually recognized.
We recognize accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as part of our income tax expense. We recognized interest and penalties of $14 million and $2 million in fiscal 2020 and the two quarters ended January 3, 2020, respectively, and NaN in fiscal 2019. We had accrued $3$47 million for the potential payment of interest and penalties as of June 28, 2019January 1, 2021 (and this amount was not included in the $204$542 million of unrecognized tax benefits balance at June 28, 2019January 1, 2021 shown above) and $3 million of this total could favorably impact future tax rates.. We had accrued $4$31 million for the potential payment of interest and penalties as of June 29, 2018January 3, 2020 (and this amount was not included in the $102$438 million of unrecognized tax benefits balance at June 29, 2018January 3, 2020 shown above) and $3 million of this total could favorably impact future tax rates..
We file numerous separate and consolidated income tax returns reporting our financial results and, where appropriate, those of our subsidiaries and affiliates, in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and various state, local and foreign jurisdictions. Pursuant to the Compliance Assurance Process, the IRS is examining ourthe Harris federal tax returns for fiscal 20142017, 2018 and 2019 and refund claims related to fiscal 2010 through fiscal 2018. The Canadian Revenue Agency is currently examining our2016. In addition, legacy L3’s federal tax returns for fiscal 2014 through fiscalcalendar years 2017 and 2018 are currently under IRS examination and refund claims related to calendar years 2012, 2013, 2015 and 2016 and we are still negotiatinghave been filed with the provincial portions of a Canadian assessment relating to fiscal 2000 through fiscal 2006. IRS.
We are currently under examination or contesting proposed adjustments by various state and international tax authorities for fiscal years ranging from 20122010 through 2018. It is reasonably possible that there could be a significant decrease or increase to our unrecognized tax benefit balance during the course of the next twelve months as these examinations continue, other tax examinations commence or various statutes of limitations expire. An estimate of the range of possible changes cannot be made for remaining unrecognized tax benefits because of the significant number of jurisdictions in which we do business and the number of open tax periods.
NOTE 23:24: BACKLOG
Backlog, which is the equivalent of our remaining performance obligations, represents the future revenue we expect to recognize as we perform on our current contracts. Backlog comprises both funded backlog (i.e., firm orders for which funding is authorized and appropriated) and unfunded backlog. Backlog excludes unexercised contract options and potential orders under ordering-type contracts, such as indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity contracts.

At June 28, 2019,January 1, 2021, our ending backlog was $8.3$21.7 billion. We expect to recognize approximately half54 percent of the revenue associated with this backlog withinby the next twelve monthsend of 2021 and approximately 85 percent by the substantial majorityend of 2023, with the revenueremainder to be recognized thereafter. At January 3, 2020, our ending backlog was $20.6 billion, including $380 million of backlog associated with this backlog within the next three years.airport security and automation business, which was divested during the quarter ended July 3, 2020.
NOTE 24:25: BUSINESS SEGMENTS
As of June 28, 2019, we structuredWe structure our operations primarily around the products, systems and services we soldsell and the markets we served,serve, and we reportedreport the financial results of our continuing operations in the following three4 operating segments, which are also our reportable segments which were alsoand are referred to as our business segments:
•Integrated Mission Systems, including multi-mission ISR and communication systems; integrated electrical and electronic systems for maritime platforms; and advanced electro-optical and infrared solutions;
•Space and Airborne Systems, including space payloads, sensors and full-mission solutions; classified intelligence and cyber defense; mission avionics; and electronic warfare;
•Communication Systems, serving markets in tactical communications and defense products, including tactical groundcommunications; broadband communications; integrated vision solutions; and airbornepublic safety; and
•Aviation Systems, including defense aviation; commercial aviation products; commercial and military pilot training; and mission networks for air traffic management.
During the first quarter of fiscal 2020, we adjusted our segment reporting to better align our businesses and transferred 2 businesses between our Integrated Mission Systems and Space and Airborne Systems segments. The historical results, discussion and presentation of our business segments as set forth in our Consolidated Financial Statements and these Notes reflect the impact of these adjustments to our segment reporting for all periods presented in order to present the segment information on a comparable basis. There is no impact on our previously reported consolidated statements of income, balance sheets, statements of cash flows or statements of equity resulting from these adjustments.
As described in more detail in Note 3: Business Divestitures and Asset Sales and elsewhere in these Notes, during the Fiscal Transition Period and fiscal 2020, we completed the following business divestitures:
•The divestiture of the Harris Night Vision business, completed on September 13, 2019, the results of which are included in “Other non-reportable business segments” through the date of divestiture;
•The divestiture of the airport security and automation business, completed on May 4, 2020, the results of which are reported as part of our Aviation Systems segment through the date of divestiture;
•The divestiture of the Applied Kilovolts and Analytical Instrumentation business, completed on May 15, 2020, the results of which are reported as part of our Space and Airborne Systems segment through the date of divestiture; and
•The divestiture of the EOTech business, completed on July 31, 2020, the results of which are reported as part of our Communication Systems segment through the date of divestiture.

NOTE 25:26: LEGAL PROCEEDINGS AND CONTINGENCIES
From time to time, as a normal incident of the nature and kind of businesses in which we are or 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 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. At June 28, 2019,January 1, 2021, our accrual for the potential resolution of lawsuits, claims or proceedings that we consider probable of being decided unfavorably to us was not material.material 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, whichthat are considered probable of being rendered against us in litigation or arbitration in existence at June 28, 2019January 1, 2021 are reserved against or would not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or cash flows.equity.
Tax Audits
Our tax filings are subject to audit by taxing authorities in jurisdictions where we conduct or conducted business. These audits may result in assessments of additional taxes that are subsequently resolved with the authorities or ultimately through 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 Consolidated Financial Statements. Additional information regarding audits and examinations by taxing authorities of our tax filings is set forth in Note 22:23: Income Taxes.Taxes in these Notes.
International
As an international company, we are, from time to time, the subject of investigations relating to our international operations, including under U.S. export control laws (such as ITAR), the FCPA and other similar U.S. and international laws.
In September 2019, we reached an administrative settlement with the Department of State to resolve alleged U.S. export control regulation violations. Under the terms of the settlement we have committed to strengthen our trade compliance program under the supervision of a special compliance officer and will pay a civil penalty of $13 million over three years (with $6.5 million suspended on the condition of use for qualified remedial compliance measures). The settlement did not result in any debarment or limitation on export licensing.
Environmental Matters
We are subject to numerous U.S. Federal, state, local and international environmental laws and regulatory requirements and are involved from time to time in investigations or litigation of various potential environmental issues. We or companies we have acquired are responsible, or alleged to be responsible, for environmental investigation and/or remediation of multiple sites. These sites are in various stages of investigation and/or remediation and in some cases our liability is considered de minimis. Notices from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) or equivalent state or international environmental agencies allege that a number of sites formerly or currently owned and/or operated by us or companies we have acquired, and other properties or water supplies that may be or have been impacted from those operations, contain disposed or recycled materials or wastes and require environmental investigation and/or remediation. These sites include instances of being identified as a potentially responsible party
129

under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (commonly known as the “Superfund Act”) and/or equivalent state and international laws. For example, in June 2014, the U.S. Department of Justice,, Environment and Natural Resources Division, notified several potentially responsible parties, including Exelis, of potential responsibility for contribution to the environmental investigation and remediation of multiple locations in Alaska. In addition, in March 2016, the EPA notified over 100 potentially responsible parties, including Exelis, of potential liability for the cost of remediation for the 8.3-mile stretch of the Lower Passaic River, estimated by the EPA to be $1.38 billion, but the parties’ respective allocations have not been determined. Although it is not feasible to predict the outcome of these environmental claims made against us, based on available information, in the opinion of our management, any payments we may be required to make as a result of environmental claims made against us in existence at June 28, 2019January 1, 2021 are reserved against, covered by insurance or would not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or cash flows.

NOTE 27: TRANSITION PERIOD COMPARATIVE DATA (UNAUDITED)
The following table presents certain comparative financial information for fiscal 2020 compared with the four quarters ended January 3, 2020 (Unaudited) and two quarters ended January 3, 2020 compared with the two quarters ended December 28, 2018 (Unaudited). Due to the L3Harris Merger on June 29, 2019, fiscal 2020 and the two quarters ended January 3, 2020 reflect the results of the combined Company, while the four quarters ended January 3, 2020 reflect the results of only Harris operating businesses for the two quarters ended June 28, 2019 and the results of the combined Company for the two quarters ended January 3, 2020. The two quarters ended December 28, 2018 reflect the results of only Harris operating businesses. Due to the significance of the L3 operating businesses included in the combined Company results following the L3Harris Merger, the reported results for fiscal 2020 and the two quarters ended January 3, 2020 generally are not comparable to the four quarters ended January 3, 2020 and two quarters ended December 28, 2018, respectively.

NOTE 26:28: SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Merger with L3 Technologies, Inc.Share Repurchase Authorization
On October 12, 2018, Harris entered into a Merger Agreement with L3 and Merger Sub, pursuant to which Harris and L3 agreed to combine their respective businesses in an all-stock merger, at the closing of which Merger Sub would merge with and into L3, with L3 continuing as the surviving corporation and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Harris.
The closing of the L3Harris Merger occurred on June 29, 2019, after the end of Harris’ fiscal 2019 on JuneJanuary 28, 2019. Upon completion of the L3Harris Merger, Harris was renamed “L3Harris Technologies, Inc.” (“L3Harris”), and each share of L3 common stock converted into the right to receive 1.30 shares (“Exchange Ratio”) of L3Harris common stock. L3Harris was owned on a fully diluted basis approximately 54 percent by Harris shareholders and 46 percent by L3 shareholders immediately following the completion of the L3Harris Merger.
L3 was a prime contractor in ISR systems, aircraft sustainment (including modifications and fleet management of special mission aircraft), simulation and training, night vision and image intensification equipment, and security and detection systems. L3 also was a leading provider of a broad range of communication, electronic and sensor systems used on military, homeland security and commercial platforms. L3 employed approximately 31,000 employees and its customers included the DoD and its prime contractors, the U.S. Intelligence Community, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, foreign governments and domestic and foreign commercial customers. L3 generated calendar 2018 revenue of approximately $10 billion.
As a result of the L3Harris Merger, L3Harris is an agile global aerospace and defense technology innovator, delivering end-to-end solutions that meet customer’s mission-critical needs. We provide advanced defense and commercial technologies across air, land, sea, space and cyber domains. L3Harris is expected to have approximately $18 billion in annualized revenue for the Fiscal Transition Period and has approximately 50,000 employees, with customers in more than 130 countries.
Approximately 104 million shares of L3Harris common stock were issued to L3 shareholders following the completion of the L3Harris Merger. The trading price of L3Harris common stock was $189.13 per share as of the Closing Date. In addition, replacement share-based awards were issued for certain outstanding L3 share-based awards.
We will account for the L3Harris Merger under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, with Harris treated as the legal and accounting acquirer. Under the acquisition method of accounting, we are required to allocate the purchase price to tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values at the Closing Date. Due to the timing of the L3Harris Merger relative to its size and complexity, our initial accounting for the L3Harris Merger is incomplete. We have not completed our measurement of the share-based award components of the acquisition-date fair value of consideration transferred nor have we completed our provisional valuation of net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. We will recognize and disclose our measurement of the acquisition-date fair value of consideration transferred and our provisional allocation of merger consideration in the fiscal quarter ending on September 27, 2019.
Unless otherwise noted, all disclosures in these Notes exclude any information related to and any potential impact that may result from the L3Harris Merger.
Divestiture of Harris Night Vision
As part of the regulatory process in connection with the L3Harris Merger, we entered into a definitive agreement on April 4, 2019 to sell the Harris Night Vision business to Elbit Systems of America, LLC, a subsidiary of Elbit Systems Ltd., for $350 million in cash, subject to customary purchase price adjustments as set forth in the definitive agreement. We expect to close the sale of the Harris Night Vision business during the third quarter of calendar year 2019 and use the proceeds from the sale to pre-fund L3Harris pension plans and return cash to shareholders.
Change in Fiscal Year
Through fiscal 2019, our fiscal years ended on the Friday nearest June 30. Commencing June 29, 2019, our fiscal year will end on the Friday nearest December 31, and the period commencing on June 29, 2019 will be the Fiscal Transition Period (ending on January 3, 2020).

New Segment Structure
Our segment reporting for the Fiscal Transition Period will be adjusted to reflect our new organizational structure announced July 1, 2019, consisting of the following four business segments:
Integrated Mission Systems, including intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance; advanced electro optical and infrared solutions; and maritime power and navigation;
Space and Airborne Systems, including space payloads, sensors and full-mission solutions; classified intelligence and cyber defense; avionics; and electronic warfare;
Communication Systems, including tactical communications; broadband communications; night vision; and public safety; and
Aviation Systems, including defense aviation products; security, detection and other commercial aviation products; air traffic management; and commercial and military pilot training.
We will report our financial results consistent with this new segment reporting structure beginning with the fiscal quarter ending September 27, 2019.
Debt Exchange
In connection with the L3Harris Merger, on July 2, 2019 we settled our previously announced debt exchange offers in which eligible holders of L3 senior notes (“L3 Notes”) could exchange such outstanding notes for (1) up to $3.35 billion aggregate principal amount of new notes issued by L3Harris (“New L3Harris Notes”) and (2) one dollar in cash for each $1,000 of principal amount. Each of the series of the New L3Harris Notes issued has an interest rate and maturity date that is identical to the L3 Notes.

Interest on the New L3Harris Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on February 15 and August 15, commencing on August 15, 2019, in the case of the 4.95% 2021, Notes; on June 15 and December 15, commencing on December 15, 2019, in the case of the 3.85% 2023 Notes, 3.85% 2026 Notes and 4.40% 2028 Notes; and on May 28 and November 28, commencing on November 28, 2019, in the case of the 3.95% 2024 Notes. The New L3Harris Notes are unsecured senior obligations and rank equally in right of payment with all other L3Harris senior unsecured debt.
The New L3Harris Notes are redeemable in whole or in part at any time or in part from time to time, at our option, until three months prior to the maturity date, in the case of the 4.95% 2021 Notes, 3.95% 2024 Notes, 3.85% 2026 Notes and 4.40% 2028 Notes, and until one month prior to the maturity date, in the case of the 3.85% 2023 Notes, at a redemption price equal to the greater of 100 percent of principal amount of the notes to be redeemed or the sum of the present values of the principal amount and the remaining scheduled payments of interest on the notes to be redeemed, discounted from the scheduled payment dates to the date of redemption at the treasury rate as defined in the note plus 20 basis points, in the case of the 3.85% 2023 Notes and 3.95% 2024 Notes, or 25 basis points, in the case of the 4.95% 2021 Notes, 3.85% 2026 Notes and 4.40% 2028 Notes, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest due at the date of redemption.
In connection with the issuance of the New L3Harris Notes, we entered into a registration rights agreement, dated July 2, 2019, with BofA Securities, Inc. and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, pursuant to which we agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to complete one or more registered exchange offers for the New L3Harris Notes within 365 days after July 2, 2019. If a registered exchange offer is not consummated within alloted time, we are required to pay special additional interest, in an amount equal to 0.25% per annum of the principal amount of the New L3Harris Notes, for the first 90 days following the day of default. Thereafter, the amount of special additional interest increases another 0.25% per year, up to a maximum of 0.50% per year, until the default is cured.
Following the settlement of the exchange offers, L3 had outstanding approximately $329 million of existing L3 Senior Notes which remain the senior unsecured obligations of L3.

Accelerated Vesting of Harris and L3 Stock Options and Other Equity Awards
Upon completion of the L3Harris Merger, Harris stock options granted prior to October 12, 2018 automatically vested and other Harris equity awards granted prior to October 12, 2018 automatically vested and settled in L3Harris Common Stock. Any Harris equity award granted on or after October 12, 2018 did not automatically vest upon closing of the L3Harris Merger, and instead remained outstanding as an award with respect to L3Harris Common Stock in accordance with the terms that were applicable to such award prior to the L3Harris Merger.
L3’s equity awards granted prior to October 12, 2018, in accordance with the terms and conditions that were applicable to such awards prior to the L3Harris Merger, generally automatically vested upon closing of the L3Harris Merger and settled in L3Harris Common Stock (with stock options automatically converted into stock options with respect to L3Harris Common Stock), in each case, after giving effect to the Exchange Ratio and appropriate adjustments to reflect the consummation of the L3Harris Merger and the terms and conditions applicable to such awards prior to the L3Harris Merger. Any L3 restricted stock unit or L3 restricted stock award granted on or after October 12, 2018 was converted into a corresponding award with respect to L3Harris Common Stock, with the number of shares underlying such award adjusted based on the Exchange Ratio and remained outstanding in accordance with the terms that were applicable to such award prior to the L3Harris Merger.
New Share Repurchase Program
On July 1, 2019, we announced that our Board of Directors approved a new $4$6 billion share repurchase authorization. The new shareauthorization under our repurchase program replaced our prior share repurchase program, which had athat was in addition to the remaining unused authorization of approximately $501$210 million, as well as L3’s prior share repurchase program.for a total unused authorization of $6.2 billion. Although the new shareour repurchase program does not have a stated expiration date, we announced that we currently expect to repurchase up to $2.5$2.3 billion in shares in the next twelve months,fiscal 2021, exclusive of any proceeds from divestitures that we may complete, but we can give no assuranceassurances regarding the level and timing of shareshares repurchases. Repurchases under the newour repurchase program may be made through open-market transactions, private transactions, transactions structured through investment banking institutions or any combination thereof. The level of our repurchases depends on a number of factors, including our financial
131

condition, capital requirements, cash flows, results of operations, future business prospects and other factors our Board and management may deem relevant. The timing, volume and nature of repurchases are subject to market conditions, applicable securities laws and other factors and are at the our discretion and may be suspended or discontinued at any time.

Pending Divestitures

Subsequent to the end of fiscal 2020, we entered into definitive agreements to divest 2 businesses in connection with our process to reshape our business portfolio to focus on core technologies following the L3Harris Merger. Each divestiture is subject to regulatory review and other customary closing conditions, and we expect to close the divestitures in the second half of fiscal 2021 and to use proceeds from the divestitures to repurchase shares of our common stock; however, there can be no assurances that the conditions will be satisfied (or waived, if applicable) or that closing will occur in the second half of fiscal 2021 or at all or regarding the use of proceeds. Because the 2 businesses did not meet the held for sale criteria as of January 1, 2021, the assets and liabilities of the businesses were not classified as held for sale in our Consolidated Balance Sheet at January 1, 2021.

Military training business. On February 27, 2021, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell our military training business to CAE USA Inc., a subsidiary of CAE Inc., for $1.05 billion in cash, subject to adjustments set forth in the definitive agreement. The military training business provides flight simulation solutions and training services to DoD and foreign military agencies. The military training business is part of our Aviation Systems segment and had approximately $500 million in fiscal 2020 revenue.
114
CPS business. On March 1, 2021, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell our Combat Propulsion Systems and related businesses (“CPS business”) to RENK AG for approximately $400 million in cash, subject to adjustments set forth in the definitive agreement. The CPS business engineers, designs, manufactures and remanufactures engines, transmissions, suspensions and turret drive systems for tracked and wheeled combat vehicle systems. The CPS business is part of our Aviation Systems segment and had approximately $230 million in fiscal 2020 revenue.

 ITEM 9.CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE.
Not applicable.
 
 ITEM 9A.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 fiscal 2019,January 1, 2021, 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 fiscal 2019January 1, 2021 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. We are continuingevaluated the multi-year, phased implementation targeted for completion in fiscal 2020impacts of a new core enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) system in certain business units, which we expectCOVID on our ability to reduce the number of ERP systems across the Companymaintain effective internal controls and enhanceconcluded that our system of internal control over financial reporting. We expect the initial implementation of the new core ERP system in eachenvironment was not materially affected business unitduring fiscal 2020. Other than changes related to involve changesincorporating our controls and procedures with respect to related processes that are part of our system of internal control over financial reporting and to require testing for effectiveness and potential further changes as implementation progresses. During the first quarter of fiscal 2018, we successfully completed the initial implementation of the new core ERP system in two business units. ThereL3’s operations, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fourth quarter of fiscal 20192020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
