Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition and Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
The information contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K, including the accompanying
Exhibit 99.1, is being furnished pursuant to Item 2.02 and Item 7.01 of Form 8-K and shall not be
deemed to be filed for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(the Exchange Act), or otherwise subject to the liability of that section. The information
contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K, including the accompanying Exhibit 99.1, shall not be
incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the
Exchange Act, whether made before or after the date hereof, except as shall be expressly set forth
by specific reference in such a filing.
On January 30, 2007, Harris Corporation (Harris) issued a press release
announcing, among other things, its results of operations and financial condition as of and for its
second quarter of fiscal 2007 and revised guidance regarding expected earnings for fiscal 2007. The
full text of the press release and related financial tables is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1
and is incorporated herein by reference.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information.
The press release includes a discussion of non-GAAP financial measures, including net income
and net income (or earnings) per diluted share for the second quarter of fiscal 2007 and earnings
per share guidance for fiscal 2007, in each case excluding certain costs, expenses, charges, gains
or losses. A non-GAAP financial measure is generally defined as a numerical measure of a
companys historical or future performance that excludes or includes amounts, or is subject to
adjustments, so as to be different from the most directly comparable measure calculated and
presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Net income
and net income (or earnings) per diluted share, excluding the impact of: (i) costs and charges
associated with the combination of our Microwave Communications business and Stratex Networks, Inc.
(the Combination); (ii) the expected integration costs and the gain associated with the
Combination; and (iii) the impairment and related charges to our investment in Terion are financial
measures that are not defined by GAAP and should be viewed in addition to, and not in lieu of,
income, income per diluted share, and other financial measures on a GAAP basis. Harris has included
in its press release a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures disclosed in the press release
to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.
Harris management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, when considered together
with the GAAP financial measures, provide information that is useful to investors in understanding
period-over-period operating results separate and apart from items that could have a
disproportionate positive or negative impact on results in any particular period. Harris
Management also believes that these non-GAAP financial measures enhance the ability of investors to
analyze trends in Harris business and to better understand our performance. In addition, Harris
may utilize non-GAAP financial measures as a guide in its forecasting, budgeting and long-term
planning process and to measure operating performance for some management compensation purposes.
Please refer to our financial statements and accompanying footnotes for additional information and
for a presentation of results in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures should be
considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures prepared
in accordance with GAAP.
