Business Segments | Business Segments We adjusted our segment reporting in the first quarter of fiscal 2016 to reflect our new organizational structure that was effective at the beginning of fiscal 2016 . We structure our operations primarily around the products and services we sell and the markets we serve, and commencing with the first quarter of fiscal 2016 , we report the financial results of our operations in the following four operating segments, which are also our reportable segments and are referred to as our business segments: • Communication Systems, serving markets in tactical and airborne radios, night vision technology, and defense and public safety networks; • Space and Intelligence Systems, providing complete earth observation, environmental, geospatial, space protection, and intelligence solutions from advanced sensors and payloads, as well as ground processing and information analytics; • Electronic Systems, offering an extensive portfolio of solutions in electronic warfare, avionics, wireless technology, command, control, communications, computers and intelligence (“C4I”), undersea systems and aerostructures (this business was classified as held for sale as of the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2016); and • Critical Networks, providing managed services supporting air traffic management, energy and maritime communications, and ground network operation and sustainment, as well as high-value information technology (“IT”) and engineering services. The historical results, discussion and presentation of our business segments as set forth in this Report reflect the impact of these adjustments for all periods presented. There is no impact on our previously reported consolidated statements of income, balance sheets or statements of cash flows resulting from these adjustments. The accounting policies of our business segments are the same as those described in Note 1: “Significant Accounting Policies” in our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our Fiscal 2015 Form 10-K. We evaluate each segment’s performance based on its operating income or loss, which we define as profit or loss from operations before income taxes excluding interest income and expense, royalties and related intellectual property expenses, equity method investment income or loss and gains or losses from securities and other investments. Intersegment sales are generally transferred at cost to the buying segment, and the sourcing segment recognizes a profit that is eliminated. The “Corporate eliminations” line items in the tables below represent the elimination of intersegment sales and their related profits. The “Unallocated corporate expense” line item in the tables below represents the portion of corporate expenses not allocated to our business segments. Total assets by business segment are summarized below: April 1, July 3, (In millions) Total Assets Communication Systems $ 1,757 $ 1,906 Space and Intelligence Systems 2,114 2,096 Electronic Systems 2,549 2,513 Critical Networks 2,972 3,492 Corporate (1) 2,508 3,120 $ 11,900 $ 13,127 (1) Identifiable intangible assets acquired in connection with acquisition of Exelis in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 were recorded as Corporate assets because they benefit the entire Company as opposed to any individual segments. Exelis identifiable intangible asset balances recorded as Corporate assets were $1.5 billion and $1.6 billion as of April 1, 2016 and July 3, 2015, respectively. Segment revenue, segment operating income and a reconciliation of segment operating income to total income from continuing operations before income taxes follow: Quarter Ended Three Quarters Ended April 1, April 3, April 1, April 3, (In millions) Revenue Communication Systems $ 485 $ 458 $ 1,428 $ 1,282 Space and Intelligence Systems 489 228 1,370 702 Electronic Systems 393 126 1,149 363 Critical Networks 551 379 1,658 1,209 Corporate eliminations (9 ) (4 ) (42 ) (8 ) $ 1,909 $ 1,187 $ 5,563 $ 3,548 Income From Continuing Operations Before Income Taxes Segment Operating Income (Loss): Communication Systems (1) $ 154 $ 153 $ 413 $ 395 Space and Intelligence Systems 76 36 211 107 Electronic Systems 75 26 207 72 Critical Networks (2) 59 29 (186 ) 121 Unallocated corporate expense (3) (75 ) (29 ) (136 ) (67 ) Corporate eliminations (1 ) (2 ) (3 ) (7 ) Non-operating loss (1 ) — — — Net interest expense (46 ) (34 ) (138 ) (77 ) $ 241 $ 179 $ 368 $ 544 (1) Communication Systems operating income in the three quarters ended April 1, 2016 included $17 million of charges recorded in the quarter ended January 1, 2016, primarily related to workforce reductions, facility consolidation and other items. We recorded $14 million of these charges in the “Cost of product sales and services” line item and the remaining $3 million of these charges in the “Engineering, selling and administrative expenses” line item in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income (Unaudited). (2) Critical Networks operating loss in the three quarters ended April 1, 2016 was primarily due to a $367 million non-cash impairment charge recorded in the quarter ended January 1, 2016 to write down goodwill and other assets related to Harris CapRock Communications. We recorded this charge in the “Impairment of goodwill and other assets” line item in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income (Unaudited). Additionally, operating loss in the three quarters ended April 1, 2016 included $12 million of charges in the quarter ended January 1, 2016, primarily related to workforce reductions and facility consolidation. We recorded these charges in the “Engineering, selling and administrative expenses” line item in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income (Unaudited). (3) Unallocated corporate expense included: (i) the impact of a net liability reduction of $101 million in the three quarters ended April 1, 2016 for certain post-employment benefit plans, (ii) charges of $23 million and $92 million in the quarter and three quarters ended April 1, 2016 , respectively, for integration and other costs associated with our acquisition of Exelis in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 (which included charges of $3 million and $8 million in the quarter and three quarters ended April 1, 2016, respectively, for amortization of a step up in inventory), and (iii) $33 million and $99 million of expense in the quarter and three quarters ended April 1, 2016 , respectively, for amortization of intangible assets acquired as a result of our acquisition of Exelis. Because the acquisition of Exelis benefited the entire Company as opposed to any individual segments, the amortization of identifiable intangible assets acquired in the Exelis acquisition was recorded as unallocated corporate expense. |
