NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

Note A — Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Standards

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) include the accounts of L3Harris Technologies, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. As used in these Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) (these “Notes”), the terms “L3Harris,” “Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” refer to L3Harris Technologies, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. Intracompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation. The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) have been prepared by L3Harris, without an audit, in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, such interim financial statements do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and equity in conformity with GAAP for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, such interim financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and equity for the periods presented therein. The results for the quarter and two quarters ended July 2, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year or any subsequent period. The balance sheet at January 1, 2021 has been derived from our audited financial statements, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for annual financial statements. We provide complete, audited financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, which includes information and footnotes required by the rules and regulations of the SEC. The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Report”) should be read in conjunction with the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2021 (our “Fiscal 2020 Form 10-K”).

Amounts contained in this Report may not always add to totals due to rounding.

L3Harris Merger

As discussed in more detail in our Fiscal 2020 Form 10-K, Harris Corporation (“Harris”) and L3 Technologies, Inc. (“L3”) combined their respective businesses on June 29, 2019, in an all-stock merger (“L3Harris Merger”) that resulted in our combined Company, L3Harris Technologies, Inc.

L3Harris Merger-related expenses for the quarter and two quarters ended July 2, 2021 and July 3, 2020 were as follows:


	Quarter Ended				Two Quarters Ended
(In millions)	July 2, 2021		July 3, 2020		July 2, 2021		July 3, 2020

Additional cost of sales related to fair value step-up in inventory sold	$	—	$	16	$	—	$	31
Restructuring charges	—		7		—		7
Integration costs, recognized as incurred	20		37		41		68
Total L3Harris Merger-related expenses	$	20	$	60	$	41	$	106

Because the L3Harris Merger benefited the entire Company as opposed to any individual business segment, the above costs were not allocated to any business segment. All of the above costs were recorded in the “Engineering, selling and administrative expenses” line item in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income (Unaudited), except for the additional cost of sales related to fair value step-up in inventory sold, which is included in the “Cost of product sales and services” line item in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income (Unaudited).

For additional information, see Note 5: “Business Combination” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our Fiscal 2020 Form 10-K.

Divestitures

See Note B — Business Divestitures in these Notes for information regarding the following businesses divested or classified as held for sale in fiscal 2020 and 2021:

•Airport security and automation business, divested on May 4, 2020;

•Applied Kilovolts and Analytical Instrumentation business, divested on May 15, 2020;

•EOTech business, divested on July 31, 2020;

•Military training business, divested on July 2, 2021;

•Combat Propulsion Systems and related businesses (“CPS business”), divested on July 2, 2021;

•Electron Devices and Narda Microwave-West divisions (“Electron Devices business”), definitive agreement entered into on July 2, 2021 and classified as held for sale during the quarter ended July 2, 2021; and

•Aerospace Products disposal groups (“AP disposal groups”), classified as held for sale during the quarter ended July 2, 2021.

Supplemental Cash Flow Information

Non-cash investing and financing activities during the two quarters ended July 2, 2021 included a $120 million right-of-use asset we obtained in exchange for a corresponding finance lease liability. These non-cash investing and financing activities are excluded from the “Additions of property, plant and equipment” and “Net proceeds from borrowings” line items in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows (Unaudited). There were no material non-cash investing or financing activities during the two quarters ended July 3, 2020. Right-of-use assets for finance leases are included in the “Property, plant and equipment, net” line item and the corresponding finance lease liabilities are included in the “Current portion of long-term debt, net” and “Long-term debt, net” line items in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet (Unaudited).

Reclassifications

The classification of certain prior-year amounts have been adjusted in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) to conform to current-year classifications. Reclassifications include finance lease liabilities that were previously included in the “Other accrued items” and “Other long-term liabilities” line items and are now reflected in the “Current portion of long-term debt, net” and “Long-term debt, net” line items in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet (Unaudited).

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) and these Notes and related disclosures. These estimates and assumptions are based on experience and other information available prior to issuance of the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) and these Notes. Materially different results can occur as circumstances change and additional information becomes known.

Significant Accounting Policies Update

There have been no material changes to our significant accounting policies described in our Fiscal 2020 Form 10-K.

Note B — Business Divestitures

2021 Divestitures

Held for Sale Businesses

Electron Devices business. On July 2, 2021, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell our Electron Devices business to an affiliate of Arlington Capital Partners for $185 million, subject to customary purchase price adjustments and closing conditions as set forth in the definitive agreement. The Electron Devices business, which is reported as part of our Aviation Systems segment, manufactures microwave devices for ground-based, airborne and satellite communications and radar. We expect to complete the sale of the Electron Devices business in the second half of fiscal 2021.

Aerospace Products disposal groups. During the quarter ended July 2, 2021, we determined the criteria to be classified as held for sale were met with respect to two businesses within our Aviation Systems segment, which we refer to together in this Report as the “AP disposal groups”. We expect to complete the sale of the AP disposal groups in the next twelve months.

VSE disposal group. On February 23, 2021, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell the VSE disposal group for $20 million, subject to customary purchase price adjustments and closing conditions as set forth in the definitive agreement. The definitive agreement includes provisions to accommodate, as necessary, closing the transactions contemplated by the agreement on a deferred basis if local consents and regulatory approvals in certain jurisdictions are obtained at a later date than in other jurisdictions.

The VSE disposal group, which is reported as part of our Aviation Systems segment, provides voice over internet protocol systems for air traffic management communications. During the quarter ended July 2, 2021, as contemplated by the definitive agreement, we consummated transactions in several jurisdictions for net cash proceeds of $2 million. (We consummated the closing in the final jurisdiction on July 30, 2021).

Because the divestiture of the VSE disposal group represents 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 net assets of the VSE disposal group to fair value less costs to sell, 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 an $18 million non-cash remeasurement loss. During the quarter and two quarters ended July 2, 2021, we recorded additional pre-tax losses of $18 million and $26 million, respectively, for non-cash remeasurement losses. The non-cash goodwill impairment is included in the “Impairment of goodwill and other assets” line item in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income (Unaudited).

The carrying amounts of the major classes of assets and liabilities for the businesses classified as held for sale included in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet (Unaudited) at July 2, 2021 were as follows:

Completed Divestitures

CPS business. On July 2, 2021, we completed the divestiture of the CPS business to RENK AG for $398 million (net proceeds of $347 million after selling costs and estimated purchase price adjustments, including $6 million of accrued selling costs). The CPS business engineers, designs and manufactures engines, transmissions, suspensions and turret drive systems for tracked and wheeled combat vehicle systems. The operating results of the CPS business through the date of divestiture were reported as part of our Aviation Systems segment.

Because the then-pending divestiture of the CPS business represented the disposal of a portion of a reporting unit within our Aviation Systems segment, we assigned $174 million of goodwill to the CPS business on a relative fair value basis during the quarter ended April 2, 2021, when the held for sale criteria were met, and we recognized a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $62 million (based on the excess of the carrying value of the business over estimated net cash proceeds, after estimated purchase price adjustments), which is included in the “Impairment of goodwill and other assets” line item in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income (Unaudited).

Military training business. On July 2, 2021, we completed the divestiture of the military training business to CAE USA Inc., a subsidiary of CAE Inc., for $1,050 million (net proceeds of $1,057 million after selling costs and estimated purchase price adjustments, including $17 million of accrued selling costs). The military training business provides flight simulation solutions and training services to the U.S. Department of Defense (“DoD”) and foreign military agencies. The operating results of the military training business through the date of divestiture were reported as part of our Aviation Systems segment.

2020 Divestitures

EOTech business. On July 31, 2020, we completed the divestiture of the 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. The EOTech business 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 were reported as part of our Communication Systems segment.

Applied Kilovolts and Analytical Instrumentation business. On May 15, 2020, we completed the divestiture of the Applied Kilovolts and Analytical Instrumentation business for net cash proceeds of $12 million, after selling costs and purchase price adjustments. In connection with the preparation of our financial statements for the quarter ended April 3, 2020, we tested goodwill assigned to the Applied Kilovolts and Analytical Instrumentation business disposal group and goodwill assigned to the retained businesses of the reporting unit for impairment and concluded that goodwill related to the disposal group was impaired. As a result, we recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $5 million, which is included in the “Impairment of goodwill and other assets” line item in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income (Unaudited). The operating results of the Applied Kilovolts and Analytical Instrumentation business through the date of divestiture were reported as part of our Space and Airborne Systems segment.

Airport security and automation business. On May 4, 2020, we completed the divestiture of the airport security and automation business to Leidos, Inc. for $1 billion (net cash proceeds of $987 million after selling costs and purchase price adjustments). The airport security and automation business 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 were reported as part of our Aviation Systems segment.

For purposes of allocating goodwill to the disposal groups, 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 of the respective 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. 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 the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our Fiscal 2020 Form 10-K for additional information regarding the fair value hierarchy. For additional information regarding the impairment of goodwill related to our business and disposal group divestitures, see Note I — Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets in these Notes.

_______________

(1)During the quarter ended July 3, 2020, upon classifying the VSE disposal group as held for sale, 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 Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income (Unaudited) for the quarter ended July 3, 2020. We recognized an $18 million non-cash remeasurement loss related to the VSE disposal group during the year ended January 1, 2021.

(2)During the quarter ended April 2, 2021, upon classifying the CPS business as held for sale, we recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $62 million, which is included in the “Impairment of goodwill and other assets” line item in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income (Unaudited). See Note I — Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets in these Notes for additional information.

(3)Reflects adjustments to the gains and losses on completed divestitures not shown above, including for fiscal 2020, $12 million for finalization of purchase price adjustments and recognition of a non-cash adjustment related to working capital, which decreased the gain initially recognized on the sale of the Harris Night Vision business divested on September 13, 2019.

Note C — Stock Options and Other Share-Based Compensation

As of July 2, 2021, we had options or other share-based compensation outstanding under two Harris shareholder-approved stock incentive plans (“SIPs”) , the Harris Corporation 2005 Equity Incentive Plan (As Amended and Restated Effective August 27, 2010) and the L3Harris Technologies, Inc. 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (As Amended and Restated Effective as of August 28, 2020) (the “2015 EIP”), as well as under employee stock incentive plans of L3 assumed by L3Harris (collectively, “L3Harris SIPs”). We believe that share-based awards more closely align the interests of participants with those of shareholders.

The compensation cost related to our share-based awards that was charged against income was $34 million and $67 million for the quarter and two quarters ended July 2, 2021, respectively, and $24 million and $40 million for the quarter and two quarters ended July 3, 2020, respectively. The aggregate number of shares of our common stock issued under L3Harris SIPs, net of shares withheld for tax purposes, was 0.4 million and 0.5 million for the quarter and two quarters ended July 2, 2021, respectively, and 0.5 million for the two quarters ended July 3, 2020. Shares issued for the quarter ended July 3, 2020 were not material.

Awards granted to participants under L3Harris SIPs during the quarter ended July 2, 2021 consisted of 0.1 million restricted stock units and no stock options or performance stock units. Awards granted to participants under L3Harris SIPs during the two quarters ended July 2, 2021 consisted of 0.5 million stock options, 0.2 million performance stock units and 0.2 million restricted stock units. The fair value as of the grant date of each stock option award was determined using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model and the following assumptions: expected dividend yield of 1.99 percent; expected volatility of 31.71 percent; risk-free interest rates averaging 0.75 percent; and expected term of 5.05 years. The fair value as of the grant date of each restricted stock unit award was based on the closing price of our common stock on the grant date. The fair value as of the grant date of each performance stock unit award was determined based on the fair value from a multifactor Monte Carlo valuation model that simulates our stock price and total shareholder return (“TSR”) relative to companies in our TSR peer group.

From time to time, we have sold certain customer receivables under the RSAs, which we continue to service and collect on behalf of the third-party financial institutions and which we account for as sales of receivables with sale proceeds included in net cash from operating activities. Outstanding accounts receivable sold pursuant to the RSAs were not material at July 2, 2021 or January 1, 2021.

Note F — Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities

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 associated with extended product warranties. Contract assets and liabilities are reported on a contract-by-contract basis at the end of each reporting period.

Contract assets and liabilities in the two quarters ended July 2, 2021 were impacted primarily by reclassifications to assets and liabilities of disposal groups held for sale, accelerated progress payments due to the U.S. Government’s temporary increase in the progress payment rate from 80 percent to 90 percent and the timing of contractual billing milestones. See Note B — Business Divestitures in these Notes for additional information regarding assets and liabilities classified as held for sale.

Contract assets and contract liabilities are summarized below:

_______________

(1)During the two quarters ended July 2, 2021, we completed the divestitures of our CPS business and military training business and derecognized $538 million of goodwill as part of determining the gain or loss on the sales of these businesses. During the two quarters ended July 3, 2020, we completed the divestitures of our airport security and automation business and our Applied Kilovolts and Analytical Instrumentation business and derecognized $533 million of goodwill as part of determining the gain or loss on the sales of these businesses.

(2)During the two quarters ended July 2, 2021 and July 3, 2020, we assigned $26 million and $9 million, respectively, of goodwill associated with pending divestitures to “Assets of disposal groups held for sale” in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet (Unaudited). See Note B — Business Divestitures in these Notes for additional information.

CPS Business Impairment. During the quarter ended April 2, 2021, we determined the criteria to be classified as held for sale were met with respect to the CPS business within our Aviation Systems segment and assigned $174 million of goodwill to the disposal group on a relative fair value basis. In connection with the preparation of our financial statements for the quarter ended April 2, 2021, we concluded that goodwill related to the CPS business was impaired and we recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $62 million, which is included in the “Impairment of goodwill and other assets” line item in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income (Unaudited). See Note B — Business Divestitures in these Notes for additional information.

Commercial Aviation Solutions Impairment. Indications of potential impairment of goodwill related to our Commercial Aviation Solutions sector (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 sector, 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 Commercial Aviation Solutions sector, we prepared an estimate of the fair value of the sector based on a combination of market-based valuation techniques, utilizing quoted market prices and comparable publicly reported transactions, and projected discounted cash flows. Our methodology for determining the fair value of the sector 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 Commercial Aviation Solutions, including 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 Commercial Aviation Solutions existed as of July 3, 2020.

As a result of these impairment tests, we concluded that goodwill related to our Commercial Aviation Solutions sector was impaired as of April 3, 2020 and July 3, 2020, and we recorded non-cash impairment charges of $296 million and $54 million, respectively (including $28 million and $8 million, respectively, attributable to noncontrolling interest), in the “Impairment of goodwill and other assets” line item in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income (Unaudited) for the quarter and two quarters ended July 3, 2020. The goodwill impairment charges were 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 of $14 million, which is included in the “Impairment of goodwill and other assets” line item in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income (Unaudited) for the quarter ended July 3, 2020.

Identifiable Intangible Assets

The most significant identifiable intangible asset that is separately recognized for our business combinations is customer relationships. Our customer relationships are established through written customer contracts (revenue arrangements). The fair value for customer relationships is determined, as of the date of acquisition, based on estimates and judgments regarding expectations for the estimated future after-tax earnings and cash flows arising from the follow-on sales expected from the customer relationships over the 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. We assess the recoverability of the carrying value of our finite-lived identifiable intangible assets 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.

Commercial Training Solutions Impairment. During the quarter ended July 2, 2021, we adjusted our Aviation Systems segment reporting to better align our businesses and separated the Commercial Training Solutions (“CTS”) business from our Commercial Aviation Solutions reporting unit, creating a new reporting unit within the Commercial Aviation Solutions sector of our Aviation Systems segment. Immediately before and after our goodwill assignments, we completed an assessment of any potential goodwill impairment under our former and new reporting unit structure and determined that no impairment existed.

To test for potential impairment of the long-lived assets, including identifiable intangible assets and property, plant and equipment, related to CTS, 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 and, as a result, we determined the carrying value of the CTS asset group was not recoverable. Next, we prepared an estimate of the fair value of CTS based on a combination of market-based valuation techniques, utilizing quoted market prices and comparable publicly reported transactions and projected discounted cash flows. We compared the fair value of CTS to our carrying value and recorded a $145 million non-cash charge for the impairment of CTS long-lived assets, including $63 million for impairment of identifiable intangible assets, which is included in the “Impairment of goodwill and other assets” line item in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income (Unaudited) for the quarter and two quarters ended July 2, 2021. See Note H — Property, Plant and Equipment, net in these Notes for additional information.

(1)For the two quarters ended July 3, 2020, includes contractual termination benefits related to facility rationalization as part of restructuring activities in connection with the L3Harris Merger integration. See Note 4: “Restructuring and Other Exit Costs” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our Fiscal 2020 Form 10-K for further information.

During the quarter ended July 2, 2021, we undertook an initiative to de-risk pension obligations by purchasing a group annuity policy and transferring approximately $169 million of pension plan assets to an insurance company thereby reducing our defined benefit obligations by approximately $169 million. As a result of the annuity purchase, we recognized a pre-tax Financial Accounting Standard settlement gain of $3 million in the quarter ended July 2, 2021, which is included as a component of the “Non-operating income” line item in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income (Unaudited).

The service cost component of net periodic benefit income is included in the “Cost of product sales and services” and “Engineering, selling and administrative expenses” line items in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income (Unaudited). The non-service cost components of net periodic benefit income are included in the “Non-operating income” line item in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income (Unaudited), except for contractual termination benefits which are included in the “Engineering, selling and administrative expenses” line item in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income (Unaudited).

As a result of prior voluntary contributions, we are not required to make any contributions to these plans during the remainder of fiscal 2021 and for several years thereafter.

Note L — Income From Continuing Operations Per Share

The computations of income from continuing operations per common share attributable to L3Harris common shareholders are as follows:


	Quarter Ended				Two Quarters Ended
(In millions, except per share amounts)	July 2, 2021		July 3, 2020		July 2, 2021		July 3, 2020

Income from continuing operations (A)	$	413	$	283	$	882	$	501



Basic weighted average common shares outstanding (B)	203.6		215.9		205.2		216.7
Impact of dilutive share-based awards	2.0		1.9		1.9		2.0
Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding (C)	205.6		217.8		207.1		218.7
Income from continuing operations per basic common share (A)/(B)	$	2.03	$	1.31	$	4.29	$	2.31
Income from continuing operations per diluted common share (A)/(C)	$	2.01	$	1.30	$	4.26	$	2.29

Potential dilutive common shares primarily consist of employee stock options, restricted stock units and performance stock units. Income from continuing operations per diluted common share excludes the anti-dilutive impact of 1.7 million and 1.6 million weighted average share-based awards outstanding for the quarter and two quarters ended July 2, 2021, respectively, and 1.5 million and 1.2 million weighted average share-based awards outstanding for the quarter and two quarters ended July 3, 2020, respectively.

Note M — Non-Operating Income

The components of non-operating income were as follows:


	Quarter Ended				Two Quarters Ended
(In millions)	July 2, 2021		July 3, 2020		July 2, 2021		July 3, 2020

Pension adjustment(1)	$	114	$	98	$	225	$	195

Total non-operating income	$	86	$	105	$	203	$	200

______________

(1)Pension adjustment recorded in the “Non-operating income” line item in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income (Unaudited) represents the non-service component of net periodic pension and postretirement benefit costs, which includes interest cost, expected return on plan assets, amortization of net actuarial gain and effect of curtailments or settlements.

Note N — Income Taxes

Our effective tax rate (income taxes as a percentage of income from continuing operations before income taxes) was 29.0 percent for the quarter ended July 2, 2021 compared with 17.3 percent for the quarter ended July 3, 2020. During the quarter ended July 2, 2021, our effective tax rate was unfavorably impacted by non-deductible goodwill from completed business divestitures and the unfavorable impact of valuation allowances in certain foreign jurisdictions, partially offset by the favorable impact of research and development (“R&D”) credits, favorable resolution of specific audit uncertainties and the favorable impact of excess tax benefits related to equity-based compensation. During the quarter ended July 3, 2020, our effective tax rate benefited from the favorable impact of R&D credits and the favorable impact of a net reduction in our uncertain tax position balance, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of non-deductible goodwill impairment charges.

Our effective tax rate was 20.6 percent for the two quarters ended July 2, 2021 compared with 15.1 percent for the two quarters ended July 3, 2020. Our effective tax rate for the two quarters ended July 2, 2021 was impacted by the items described above for the quarter ended July 2, 2021. In addition to the items noted above for the quarter ended July 3, 2020, our effective tax rate for the two quarters ended July 3, 2020 benefited from the favorable impact of excess tax benefits related to equity-based compensation.

Note O — Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for an asset or the price that would be paid to transfer a liability in the principal market or most advantageous market 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 external pricing services, 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.

The following table presents assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis (at least annually) at July 2, 2021 and January 1, 2021:


	July 2, 2021						January 1, 2021

_______________

(1)Represents diversified assets held in a “rabbi trust” associated with our non-qualified deferred compensation plans, which we include in the “Other current assets” and “Other non-current assets” line items in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet (Unaudited) and which are measured at fair value.

(2)Primarily represents obligations to pay benefits under certain non-qualified deferred compensation plans, which we include in the “Compensation and benefits” and “Other long-term liabilities” line items in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet (Unaudited). Under these plans, participants designate investment options (including stock and fixed-income funds), which serve as the basis for measurement of the notional value of their accounts.

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


	July 2, 2021				January 1, 2021
(In millions)	Carrying Amount		Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Fair Value

Long-term debt (including current portion)(1)	$	7,072	$	7,872	$	6,953	$	7,986

_______________

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

See Note B — Business Divestitures and Note I — Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets in these Notes for information regarding fair value measurements associated with goodwill.

Note P — 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. 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 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet (Unaudited) at fair value. We do not hold or issue derivatives for speculative trading purposes.

Exchange-Rate Risk — Cash Flow Hedges. To manage our exposure to currency risk and market fluctuation risk associated with anticipated cash flows that are probable of occurring in the future, we implement cash flow hedges. More specifically, we use foreign currency forward contracts and options to hedge off-balance sheet future foreign currency commitments, including purchase commitments to suppliers, future committed sales to customers and inter-segment transactions. These derivatives are used to hedge currency exposures from cash flows anticipated across our business segments. We also hedge 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 (loss). Gains and losses in AOCI are reclassified to earnings when the related hedged item is recognized in earnings. The cash flow impact of our derivatives is included in the same category in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows (Unaudited) as the cash flows of the related hedged items. Notional amounts are used to measure the volume of foreign currency forward contracts and do not represent exposure to foreign currency losses. At July 2, 2021, we had open foreign currency forward contracts with an aggregate notional amount of $611 million, hedging certain forecasted transactions denominated in U.S. Dollars, Canadian Dollars, British Pounds, Australian Dollars and Euros. At January 1, 2021, we had open foreign currency forward contracts with an aggregate notional amount of $488 million, hedging certain forecasted transactions denominated in U.S. Dollars, Canadian Dollars, British Pounds, Euros, Australian Dollars and New Zealand Dollars.

At July 2, 2021, our foreign currency forward contracts had maturities through 2025.

The table below presents the fair values of our derivatives designated as foreign currency hedging instruments in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet (Unaudited) at July 2, 2021 and January 1, 2021.


(In millions)	July 2, 2021		January 1, 2021

Other non-current assets	3		3
Other accrued items	3		4

_______________

(1)See Note O — Fair Value Measurements in these Notes for a description of the fair value hierarchy related to our foreign currency forward contracts.

Net unrealized gains before income taxes recognized in other comprehensive loss from foreign currency derivatives designated as cash flow hedges were $4 million and $9 million, respectively, for the quarter and two quarters ended July 2, 2021. During the quarter and two quarters ended July 3, 2020, we recognized a $10 million net unrealized gain and a $6 million net unrealized loss, respectively, before income taxes in other comprehensive loss from foreign currency derivatives designated as cash flow hedges. During the quarter and two quarters ended July 2, 2021, the net gain reclassified from AOCI into earnings from foreign currency derivatives designated as cash flow hedges was $8 million and $15 million, respectively. During the quarter and two quarters ended July 3, 2020, the net gain or loss reclassified from AOCI into earnings from foreign currency derivatives designated as cash flow hedges was not material. At July 2, 2021, the estimated amount of existing net gains to be reclassified into earnings within the next twelve months was $14 million.

Gains and losses from foreign currency derivatives designated as cash flow hedges are included in the line item in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income (Unaudited) associated with the hedged transaction, with the exception of any losses resulting from discontinued cash flow hedges, which are included in the “Engineering, selling and administrative expenses” line item in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income (Unaudited).

Note Q — Changes in Estimates

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. 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 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 had the following impact to earnings for the periods presented:


	Quarter Ended				Two Quarters Ended
(In millions, except per share amounts)	July 2, 2021		July 3, 2020		July 2, 2021		July 3, 2020

Net EAC adjustments, before income taxes	$	80	$	98	$	162	$	201
Net EAC adjustments, net of income taxes	$	60	$	73	$	122	$	151
Net EAC adjustments, net of income taxes, per diluted common share	$	0.29	$	0.34	$	0.59	$	0.69

Revenue recognized from performance obligations satisfied in prior periods was $107 million and $215 million for the quarter and two quarters ended July 2, 2021, respectively, and $102 million and $238 million for the quarter and two quarters ended July 3, 2020, respectively.

Note R — 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 July 2, 2021, our ending backlog was $20.2 billion. We expect to recognize approximately 66 percent of the revenue associated with this backlog by the end of 2022 and approximately 78 percent by the end of 2023, with the remainder to be recognized thereafter. At January 1, 2021, our ending backlog was $21.7 billion, including $1.1 billion of backlog associated with businesses that were divested during the quarter ended July 2, 2021.

Note S — Business Segment Information

We structure our operations primarily around the products, systems and services we sell and the markets we serve, and we report the financial results of our continuing operations in the following four operating segments, which are also our reportable segments and are referred to as our business segments:

•Integrated Mission Systems, including multi-mission intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (“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; avionics; and electronic warfare;

•Communication Systems, including tactical communications; broadband communications; integrated vision solutions; public safety and global communications solutions; and

•Aviation Systems, including defense aviation; commercial aviation products; commercial pilot training; and mission networks for air traffic management.

See Note B — Business Divestitures in these Notes for information relating to the following businesses divested or classified as held for sale in fiscal 2020 and 2021:

•Airport security and automation business, divested on May 4, 2020, the results of which were reported as part of our Aviation Systems segment through the date of divestiture;

•Applied Kilovolts and Analytical Instrumentation business, divested on May 15, 2020, the results of which were reported as part of our Space and Airborne Systems segment through the date of divestiture;

•EOTech business, divested on July 31, 2020, the results of which were reported as part of our Communication Systems segment through the date of divestiture;

•Military training business, divested on July 2, 2021, the results of which were reported as part of our Aviation Systems segment through the date of divestiture;

•CPS business, divested on July 2, 2021, the results of which were reported as part of our Aviation Systems segment through the date of divestiture;

•VSE disposal group, definitive agreement entered into on February 23, 2021 and divestiture partially completed during the quarter ended July 2, 2021, with the remainder classified as held for sale and expected to be completed in the second half of fiscal 2021, the results of which are reported as part of our Aviation Systems segment;

•Electron Devices business, definitive agreement entered into on July 2, 2021 and classified as held for sale, expected to be completed during the second half of fiscal 2021, the results of which are reported as part of our Aviation Systems segment; and

•AP disposal groups, classified as held for sale during the quarter ended July 2, 2021, expected to be completed during the next twelve months, the results of which are reported as part of our Aviation Systems segment.

The accounting policies of our business segments are the same as those described in Note 1: “Significant Accounting Policies” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our Fiscal 2020 Form 10-K. 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 the table below 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 expenses” line item in the table below represents the portion of corporate expenses not allocated to our business segments and elimination of intersegment profits. The “Pension adjustment” line item in the table below 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 Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income (Unaudited). The non-service components of net periodic pension and postretirement benefit costs include interest cost, expected return on plan assets, amortization of net actuarial gain or loss, and effect of curtailments or settlements.

Segment revenue, segment operating income (loss) and a reconciliation of segment operating income to total income from continuing operations before income taxes are as follows:

For the quarter and two quarters ended July 3, 2020, includes (i) $16 million and $31 million, respectively, of additional cost of sales related to fair value step-up in inventory sold; (ii) $9 million of other divestiture-related expenses; and (iii) $7 million of restructuring charges.

(2)Includes amortization of identifiable intangible assets acquired as a result of the L3Harris Merger of $131 million and $271 million for the quarter and two quarters ended July 2, 2021, respectively, and $183 million and $303 million for the quarter and two quarters ended July 3, 2020, respectively. Also includes amortization of identifiable intangible assets acquired as a result of our acquisition of Exelis Inc. of $25 million and $49 million for the quarter and two quarters ended July 2, 2021, respectively, and $25 million and $50 million for the quarter and two quarters ended July 3, 2020, respectively. Because the L3Harris Merger and the acquisition of Exelis Inc. benefited the entire Company as opposed to any individual segment, the amortization of identifiable intangible assets acquired was not allocated to any segment.

Disaggregation of Revenue

We disaggregate revenue for all four business segments by customer relationship, contract type and geographical region. We believe these categories best depict how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors.

Integrated Mission Systems: Integrated Mission Systems revenue is primarily derived from U.S. Government development and production contracts and is generally recognized over time using the POC cost-to-cost revenue recognition method.

(1)Identifiable intangible assets acquired in connection with the L3Harris Merger on June 29, 2019 and our acquisition of Exelis Inc. in fiscal 2015 were recorded as Corporate assets because they benefited the entire Company as opposed to any individual segment. Identifiable intangible asset balances recorded as Corporate assets were approximately $7.0 billion and $7.9 billion at July 2, 2021 and January 1, 2021, respectively. Corporate assets also consisted of cash, income taxes receivable, deferred income taxes, deferred compensation plan investments, buildings and equipment, as well as any assets and liabilities from discontinued operations and divestitures. See Note B — Business Divestitures in these Notes for additional information.

Note T — 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 July 2, 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, that are considered probable of being rendered against us in litigation or arbitration in existence at July 2, 2021 are reserved against or would not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or equity.

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 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., 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 Inc., 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 July 2, 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 equity.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of L3Harris Technologies, Inc.

Results of Review of Interim Financial Statements

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of L3Harris Technologies, Inc. (the Company) as of July 2, 2021, the related condensed consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income and equity for the quarters and two quarters ended July 2, 2021 and July 3, 2020, the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the two quarters ended July 2, 2021 and July 3, 2020, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “condensed consolidated interim financial statements”). Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of January 1, 2021, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, cash flows and equity for the year then ended, and the related notes (not presented herein); and in our report dated March 1, 2021, we expressed an unqualified audit opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of January 1, 2021, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Basis for Review Results

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and 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 SEC and the PCAOB. We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. A review of interim financial statements consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

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

OVERVIEW

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) is intended to assist in an understanding of our financial condition and results of operations. This MD&A is provided as a supplement to, should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) and accompanying Notes appearing elsewhere in this Report (the “Notes”). In addition, reference should be made to our audited Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in our Fiscal 2020 Form 10-K. Except for the historical information contained herein, the discussions in this MD&A contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our future results could differ materially from those discussed herein. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed below in this MD&A under “Forward-Looking Statements and Factors that May Affect Future Results.”

COVID

Attempts to contain and reduce the spread of COVID, 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 numerous types of precautions, protocols and other arrangements designed to protect employees from COVID infections and to comply with applicable regulations and we have also maintained an active dialog, and in some cases developed plans, with key suppliers in an effort to mitigate supply chain risks or otherwise minimize the impact from those risks. The U.S. Government response to COVID 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, which enabled us to keep our U.S. production facilities largely operational in support of national security commitments to U.S. Government customers (as part of the Defense Industrial Base) 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 a 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 U.S. Government’s responsive actions described above, our commercial and international businesses are at a higher risk of adverse COVID-related impacts, and we cannot eliminate all potential impacts to our business from supply chain risks, such as longer lead times and shortages of electronics and other components. 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.

The extent of these disruptions and impacts, including on our ability to perform under U.S. Government and other contracts within agreed timeframes and ultimately on our results of operations and cash flows, will depend on future developments, including further COVID-related impacts and associated containment and mitigation actions taken by governmental authorities and consequences thereof, and global air traffic demand and governmental subsidies to airlines, and potential impacts to our business from supply chain risks, all of which are uncertain and unpredictable, could exacerbate other risks discussed in Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of our Fiscal 2020 Form 10-K, any of which could have a material effect on us. For further information regarding the impact, and the risks of the impact, of COVID on the Company, see “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our Fiscal 2020 Form 10-K.

KEY DEVELOPMENTS

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

*Not meaningful

Revenue

One Quarter Comparison: The increase in revenue for the quarter ended July 2, 2021 compared with the quarter ended July 3, 2020 was primarily due to organic revenue growth in all four business segments, partially offset by $49 million lower revenue from the impact of completed business divestitures.

Two Quarters Comparison: The increase in revenue for the two quarters ended July 2, 2021 compared with the two quarters ended July 3, 2020 was primarily due to the same reasons as noted above in the one quarter comparison for revenue, also partially offset by lower revenue in the quarter ended April 2, 2021 in our Aviation Systems segment from the continued COVID-related downturn in the commercial aviation market and its impact on customer operations.

See “Discussion of Business Segment Results of Operations” below in this MD&A for further information.

Gross Margin Percentage

One Quarter Comparison: The increase in gross margin as a percentage of total revenue (“gross margin percentage”) for the quarter ended July 2, 2021 compared with the quarter ended July 3, 2020 was primarily due to operational excellence, integration benefits and the absence in the quarter ended July 2, 2021 of a $16 million charge for additional cost of sales related to fair value step-up in inventory sold recorded in the quarter ended July 3, 2020.

Two Quarters Comparison: The increase in gross margin percentage for the two quarters ended July 2, 2021 compared with the two quarters ended July 3, 2020 was primarily due to operational excellence, integration benefits and the absence in the two quarters ended July 2, 2021 of a charge comparable to the $31 million for additional cost of sales related to fair value step-up in inventory sold recorded in the two quarters ended July 3, 2020.

See the “Discussion of Business Segment Results of Operations” discussion below in this MD&A for further information.

Engineering, Selling and Administrative (“ESA”) Expenses and Percentage

One Quarter Comparison: The increase in ESA expenses and comparability of ESA expense as a percentage of total revenue (“ESA percentage”) for the quarter ended July 2, 2021 compared with the quarter ended July 3, 2020 were primarily due to $37 million of higher divestiture-related expenses and increased investments in R&D, partially offset by $44 million of lower amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets in the quarter ended July 2, 2021.

Two Quarters Comparison: The increase in ESA expenses and comparability of ESA percentage for the two quarters ended July 2, 2021 compared with the two quarters ended July 3, 2020 were primarily due to the same reasons as noted above in the one quarter comparison as well as lower integration costs and the absence in the two quarters ended July 2, 2021 of COVID-related restructuring charges and exit costs recorded in the two quarters ended July 3, 2020.

See the “Discussion of Business Segment Results of Operations” discussion below in this MD&A for further information.

Business Divestiture-Related Gains and Losses

The "Business divestiture-related gains (losses)" line item is comprised of the following pre-tax gains (losses) associated with businesses divested or held for sale:


	Quarter Ended				Two Quarters Ended

See Note B — Business Divestitures in the Notes for further information.

Impairment of Goodwill and Other Assets

One Quarter Comparison: Impairment of goodwill and other assets for the quarter ended July 2, 2021 included $145 million of non-cash charges for impairment of identifiable intangible and other long-lived assets related to our CTS reporting unit. Impairment of goodwill and other assets for the quarter ended July 3, 2020 included $56 million of non-cash charges for impairment of goodwill and other assets in our Commercial Aviation Solutions sector due to the COVID-related downturn in the commercial aviation market and its impact on customer operations and a $14 million non-cash charge for impairment of goodwill in connection with the then-pending divestiture of the VSE disposal group.

Two Quarters Comparison: Impairment of goodwill and other assets for the two quarters ended July 2, 2021 included a $62 million non-cash charge for impairment of goodwill associated with the divestiture of the CPS business and $145 million of non-cash charges for impairment of identifiable intangible and other long-lived assets related to our CTS reporting unit. Impairment of goodwill and other assets for the two quarters ended July 3, 2020 included $375 million of non-cash charges for impairment of goodwill and other assets in our Commercial Aviation Solutions sector associated with the COVID-related downturn in the commercial aviation market and its impact on customer operations, a $14 million non-cash charge for impairment of goodwill associated with the then-pending divestiture of the VSE disposal group and a $5 million non-cash charge for impairment of goodwill recorded in connection with the then-pending divestiture of our Applied Kilovolts and Analytical Instrumentation business.

See Note B — Business Divestitures and Note I — Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets in the Notes for further information.

Non-Operating Income

One Quarter Comparison: The decrease in non-operating income for the quarter ended July 2, 2021 compared with the quarter ended July 3, 2020 was primarily due to a $35 million charge for impairment of our equity investment in a nonconsolidated affiliate, partially offset by an increase in the non-service cost components of net periodic benefit income.

Two Quarters Comparison: The increase in non-operating income for the two quarters ended July 2, 2021 compared with the two quarters ended July 3, 2020, reflects a charge for impairment of our equity investment in a nonconsolidated affiliate recorded in the quarter ended July 2, 2021, offset by an increase in the non-service cost components of net periodic benefit income.

See Note M — Non-Operating Income and Note K — Postretirement Benefit Plans in the Notes for further information.

Interest Expense, net

One Quarter Comparison: Interest expense, net for the quarter ended July 2, 2021 was comparable with the quarter ended July 3, 2020.

Two Quarters Comparison: Interest expense, net remained largely unchanged for the two quarters ended July 2, 2021 compared with the two quarters ended July 3, 2020.

See Note 14: “Debt” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our Fiscal 2020 Form 10-K for further information.

Income Taxes

One Quarter Comparison: Our effective tax rate (income taxes as a percentage of income from continuing operations before income taxes) was 29.0 percent for the quarter ended July 2, 2021 compared with 17.3 percent for the quarter ended July 3, 2020. During the quarter ended July 2, 2021, our effective tax rate was unfavorably impacted by non-deductible goodwill from completed business divestitures and the unfavorable impact of valuation allowances in certain foreign jurisdictions, partially offset by the favorable impact of R&D credits, favorable resolution of specific audit uncertainties and the favorable impact of excess tax benefits related to equity-based compensation. During the quarter ended July 3, 2020, our effective tax rate benefited from the favorable impact of R&D credits and the favorable impact of a net reduction in our uncertain tax position balance, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of non-deductible goodwill impairment charges.

Two Quarters Comparison: Our effective tax rate was 20.6 percent for the two quarters ended July 2, 2021 compared with 15.1 percent for the two quarters ended July 3, 2020. Our effective tax rate for the two quarters ended July 2, 2021 was impacted by the items described above in the one quarter comparison for income taxes. In addition to the items noted above in the one quarter comparison for income taxes, our effective tax rate for the two quarters ended July 3, 2020 benefited from the favorable impact of excess tax benefits related to equity-based compensation.

Income From Continuing Operations

One Quarter Comparison: The increase in income from continuing operations for the quarter ended July 2, 2021 compared with the quarter ended July 3, 2020 was primarily due to the combined effects of the reasons noted above in the one quarter comparison paragraphs.

Two Quarters Comparison: The increase in income from continuing operations for the two quarters ended July 2, 2021 compared with the two quarters ended July 3, 2020 was primarily due to the combined effects of the reasons noted above in the two quarters comparison paragraphs.

Income From Continuing Operations Per Diluted Common Share Attributable to L3Harris Common Shareholders

One Quarter Comparison: The increase in income from continuing operations per diluted common share attributable to L3Harris common shareholders for the quarter ended July 2, 2021 compared with the quarter ended July 3, 2020 was primarily due to higher income from continuing operations and fewer diluted weighted average common shares outstanding due to the repurchases of shares of our common stock under our repurchase program in the four quarters ended July 2, 2021.

Two Quarters Comparison: The increase in income from continuing operations per diluted common share attributable to L3Harris common shareholders for the two quarters ended July 2, 2021 compared with the two quarters ended July 3, 2020 was primarily due to higher income from continuing operations and fewer diluted weighted average common shares outstanding due to the repurchases of shares of our common stock under our repurchase program in the four quarters ended July 2, 2021.

See “Common Stock Repurchases” below in this MD&A for information regarding our share repurchase program.

One Quarter Comparison: The increase in segment revenue for the quarter ended July 2, 2021 compared with the quarter ended July 3, 2020 was primarily due to $148 million of higher revenue in ISR, driven by aircraft missionization on a recently awarded North Atlantic Treaty Organization program and $21 million of higher revenue in Maritime, reflecting a ramp on key platforms, partially offset by lower revenue in Electro Optical due to product delivery timing.

The increase in segment operating income for the quarter ended July 2, 2021 compared with the quarter ended July 3, 2020 was primarily due to higher revenue and integration benefits and operational excellence, partially offset by a mix of program revenue and product sales with relatively lower operating margin percentage for the quarter ended July 2, 2021, which resulted in a decrease in operating income as a percentage of revenue (“operating margin percentage”).

Two Quarters Comparison: The increases in segment revenue and operating income in the two quarters ended July 2, 2021 compared with the two quarters ended July 3, 2020 were primarily due to the same reasons as noted above in the one quarter comparison regarding this segment. Segment operating margin percentage for the two quarters ended July 2, 2021 was comparable with the two quarters ended July 3, 2020.

One Quarter Comparison: The increase in segment revenue for the quarter ended July 2, 2021 compared with the quarter ended July 3, 2020 was primarily due to $47 million of higher revenue in Space, reflecting a ramp in missile defense and other responsive programs and growth in Intel and Cyber from classified programs, partially offset by lower revenue in Mission Avionics, reflecting F-35 program timing, and lower revenue in Electronic Warfare due to lower F-16 volume.

The increases in segment operating income and segment operating margin percentage for the quarter ended July 2, 2021 compared with the quarter ended July 3, 2020 were primarily due to higher revenue, operational excellence, including program performance, higher pension income and integration benefits, partially offset by increased investments in R&D.

Two Quarters Comparison: The increase in segment revenue for the two quarters ended July 2, 2021 compared with the two quarters ended July 3, 2020 was primarily due to $80 million of higher revenue in Space from a ramp in missile defense and other responsive programs and growth in Intel and Cyber from classified programs, partially offset by lower revenue in Electronic Warfare due to lower F-16 volume.

The increases in segment operating income and operating margin percentage for the two quarters ended July 2, 2021 compared with the two quarters ended July 3, 2020 were primarily due higher revenue, integration benefits and higher pension income, partially offset by a mix of programs with relatively lower operating margin percentage.

One Quarter Comparison: The increase in segment revenue for the quarter ended July 2, 2021 compared with the quarter ended July 3, 2020 was primarily due to $23 million of higher revenue in Tactical Communications, reflecting increased international demand, $17 million of higher revenue in Global Communications Solutions and organic growth in Integrated Vision Solutions driven by the continued ramp in DoD modernization, partially offset by the impact of the divestiture on July 31, 2020 of the EOTech business (which generated $20 million of revenue in the quarter ended July 3, 2020), $7 million of lower revenue in Public Safety due to residual COVID-related impacts and lower revenue in Broadband Communications from lower volume on legacy unmanned programs.

The increases in segment operating income and operating margin percentage for the quarter ended July 2, 2021 compared with the quarter ended July 3, 2020 were primarily due to a mix of program revenue and product sales with relatively higher operating margin percentage for the quarter ended July 2, 2021, operational excellence and integration benefits.

Two Quarters Comparison: The increases in segment revenue, operating income and operating margin percentage for the two quarters ended July 2, 2021 compared with the two quarters ended July 3, 2020 were primarily due to the same reasons as noted above in the one quarter comparison for this segment.

One Quarter Comparison: The increase in segment revenue for the quarter ended July 2, 2021 compared with the quarter ended July 3, 2020 was primarily due to $16 million of higher revenue in Defense Aviation, reflecting a ramp in fuzing and ordnance systems, increased training and avionics product sales volume in the commercial aerospace business and $5 million of higher revenue in Mission Networks from increased Federal Aviation Administration volume, partially offset by $24 million of lower revenue from the divestiture of the airport security and automation businesses on May 4, 2020.

The increase in segment operating income and comparability of operating margin percentage for the quarter ended July 2, 2021 compared with the quarter ended July 3, 2020 were primarily due to operational excellence, cost management, integration benefits and the absence in the quarter ended July 2, 2021 of COVID-related restructuring charges and exit costs recorded in the quarter ended July 3, 2020, mostly offset by a $26 million increase in charges for impairment of assets.

Two Quarters Comparison: The decrease in segment revenue for the two quarters ended July 2, 2021 compared with the two quarters ended July 3, 2020 was primarily due to $43 million of lower commercial aerospace revenue, which included a $147 million revenue impact from the airport security and automation business divestiture on May 4, 2020 and lower revenue from the COVID-related downturn in the commercial aviation market and its impact on customer operations, and lower revenue in Military Training primarily due to program timing. These drivers were partially offset by $27 million of higher revenue in Defense Aviation and $20 million of higher revenue in Mission Networks reflecting higher U.S. Federal Aviation Administration volume.

The increases in segment operating income and operating margin percentage for the two quarters ended July 2, 2021 compared with the segment operating loss and operating margin percentage in the two quarters ended July 3, 2020 were primarily due to the same reasons as noted above in the one quarter comparison for this segment as well as the absence of $375 million of non-cash charges for impairment of goodwill and other assets in the two quarters ended July 3, 2020 due to the COVID-related downturn in the commercial aviation market and its impact on customer operations.

One Quarter Comparison: The increase in other unallocated corporate expenses for the quarter ended July 2, 2021 compared with the quarter ended July 3, 2020 was primarily due to $37 million of higher divestiture-related expenses, partially offset by the absence of $16 million of additional cost of sales related to fair value step-up in inventory sold and $7 million of restructuring charges recorded in the quarter ended July 3, 2020.

Two Quarters Comparison: The increase in other unallocated corporate expenses for the two quarters ended July 2, 2021 compared with the two quarters ended July 3, 2020 was primarily due to $44 million of higher divestiture-related expenses and a $15 million accrual for a value-added tax obligation in the two quarters ended July 2, 2021, partially offset by $31 million of additional cost of sales related to fair value step-up in inventory sold and $7 million of restructuring charges recorded in the two quarters ended July 3, 2020.

Cash and cash equivalents

The $753 million net increase in cash and cash equivalents in the two quarters ended July 2, 2021 was primarily due to:

•$1,381 million of net cash provided by operating activities;

•$1,430 million of net proceeds from sales of businesses; and

•$38 million of proceeds from exercises of employee stock options; partially offset by

•$1,550 million used to repurchase shares of our common stock;

•$416 million used to pay cash dividends; and

•$128 million used for additions of property, plant and equipment.

The $1,123 million net increase in cash and cash equivalents in the two quarters ended July 3, 2020 was primarily due to:

•$1,335 million of net cash provided by operating activities;

•$963 million of net proceeds from sales of businesses;

•$248 million of net proceeds from borrowings from issuance of Floating Rate Notes due March 10, 2023; and

•$37 million of proceeds from exercises of employee stock options; partially offset by

•$700 million used to repurchase shares of our common stock;

•$367 million used to pay cash dividends;

•$254 million of repayments of borrowings, including $250 million used for repayment at maturity of the entire principal amount of our Floating Rate Notes due April 30, 2020; and

•$108 million used for additions of property, plant and equipment.

At July 2, 2021, we had cash and cash equivalents of $2,029 million, including $1,430 million of net proceeds from sales of businesses received on July 2, 2021, and we have a senior unsecured $2 billion revolving credit facility that expires in June 2024 (all of which was available to us as of July 2, 2021). Additionally, we had $7.1 billion of long-term debt outstanding at July 2, 2021. Our $2,029 million of cash and cash equivalents at July 2, 2021 included $248 million held by our foreign subsidiaries, a significant portion of which we believe can be repatriated to the U.S. 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 overall level of debt, U.S. Government budget uncertainties and the state of global commerce and general political and financial uncertainty. We cannot predict the on-going 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 Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of our Fiscal 2020 Form 10-K.

Based 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 twelve months and the reasonably foreseeable future thereafter. Our total capital expenditures for fiscal 2021 are expected to be approximately $365 million. We anticipate tax payments in fiscal 2021 to be approximately equal to our tax expense for the same period, subject to adjustment for certain timing differences and divestitures. Other than those cash outlays noted in “Contractual Obligations” in Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Fiscal 2020 Form 10-K and in the “Commercial Commitments and Contractual Obligations” section below in this MD&A, capital expenditures, dividend payments, repurchases under our share repurchase program and L3Harris Merger-related integration costs, we do not anticipate any significant cash outlays during the remainder of fiscal 2021. For further information regarding COVID-related risks and uncertainties, see Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of our Fiscal 2020 Form 10-K.

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 or capital markets disruptions. If we are unable to maintain cash balances, generate 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 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, obtain additional financing or sell assets. Our ability to make principal payments or pay interest on or refinance our indebtedness depends on our future performance and financial results, which, to a certain extent, are subject to general conditions in or affecting the defense, government and 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 $46 million increase in net cash provided by operating activities for the two quarters ended July 2, 2021 compared with the two quarters ended July 3, 2020 was primarily due to the impact of higher income (excluding the impact of non-cash items such as depreciation and amortization, impairment of goodwill and other assets and gains related to business divestitures) and a $30 million decrease in cash income tax payments, partially offset by a $138 million increase in cash used to fund working capital (i.e., accounts receivable, contract assets, inventories, accounts payable and contract liabilities) for the two quarters ended July 2, 2021.

Net cash provided by investing activities: The $462 million increase in net cash provided by investing activities for the two quarters ended July 2, 2021 compared with the two quarters ended July 3, 2020 was primarily due to an increase of $467 million in net proceeds from sales of businesses, partially offset by a $16 million increase in cash used for net additions of property, plant and equipment.

Net cash used in financing activities: The $895 million increase in net cash used in financing activities for the two quarters ended July 2, 2021 compared with the two quarters ended July 3, 2020 was primarily due to an $850 million increase in cash used to repurchase common stock and a $49 million increase in cash dividends paid in the two quarters ended July 2, 2021.

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. The Highway and Transportation Funding Act of 2014, the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015, and the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 further extended the interest rate stabilization provision of MAP-21. Failure to satisfy the minimum funding thresholds could result in restrictions on our ability to amend the plans 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. As a result of prior voluntary contributions, we are not required to make any contributions to our U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plans in fiscal 2021 and 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 plans, the level of future statutory required minimum contributions could be material. We had net unfunded defined benefit plan obligations of $1.7 billion at July 2, 2021. See Note 15: “Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our Fiscal 2020 Form 10-K and Note K — Postretirement Benefit Plans in the Notes for further information regarding our pension plans.

Common Stock Repurchases

On January 28, 2021, we announced that our Board of Directors approved a $6 billion share repurchase authorization under our share repurchase program that was in addition to the remaining unused authorization of $210 million as of January 1, 2021. During the two quarters ended July 2, 2021, we used $1.55 billion to repurchase 7.7 million shares of our common stock under our share repurchase program at an average price per share of $201.50. During the two quarters ended July 3, 2020, we used $700 million to repurchase 3.3 million shares of our common stock under our share repurchase program at an average price per share of $213.57. During the two quarters ended July 2, 2021 and July 3, 2020, $2 million and $1 million, respectively, in shares of our common stock were delivered to us or withheld by us to satisfy withholding taxes on employee share-based awards. Shares purchased by us are cancelled and retired.

At July 2, 2021, we had a remaining, unused authorization of approximately $4.7 billion under our share repurchase program, which does not have an expiration date. Repurchases under our share 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 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 our discretion and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. Additional information regarding our current repurchase program is set forth in this Report under Part II, Item 2. “Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.”

Dividends

On January 28, 2021, our Board of Directors increased the quarterly per share cash dividend rate on our common stock from $.85 to $1.02, for an annualized per share cash dividend rate of $4.08, which was our twentieth consecutive annual increase in our quarterly cash dividend rate. During the two quarters ended July 2, 2021 and July 3, 2020, we paid cash dividends of $416 million and $367 million, respectively. We currently expect that cash dividends will continue to be paid in the near future, but we can give no assurances concerning payment of future dividends or future dividend increases. The declaration of dividends and the amount thereof will depend on a number of factors, including our financial condition, capital requirements, cash flows, results of operations, future business prospects and other factors our Board of Directors may deem relevant.

Capital Structure and Resources

2019 Credit Agreement: We have a $2 billion, 5-year senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the “2019 Credit Facility”) under a Revolving Credit Agreement (the “2019 Credit Agreement”) entered into on June 28, 2019 with a syndicate of lenders. For a description of the 2019 Credit Facility and the 2019 Credit Agreement, see Note 13: “Credit Arrangements” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our Fiscal 2020 Form 10-K.

We were in compliance with the covenants in the 2019 Credit Agreement at July 2, 2021, including the covenant requiring that we not permit our ratio of consolidated total indebtedness to total capital, each as defined in the 2019 Credit Agreement, to be greater than 0.65 to 1.00. At July 2, 2021, we had no borrowings outstanding under the 2019 Credit Agreement.

Long-Term Debt: For a description of our long-term variable-rate and fixed-rate debt, see Note 14: “Debt” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our Fiscal 2020 Form 10-K.

Short-Term Debt: Our short-term debt was $3 million at July 2, 2021 and $2 million at January 1, 2021, in each case consisting of local borrowing by international subsidiaries for working capital needs.

Other Agreements: We have two RSAs with third-party financial institutions that permit us to sell, on a non-recourse basis, up to $100 million each of outstanding receivables at any given time. From time to time, we have sold certain customer receivables under the RSAs, which we continue to service and collect on behalf of the third-party financial institutions and which we account for as sales of receivables with sale proceeds included in net cash from operating activities. The impact to net cash from operating activities from these transactions was not material in the two quarters ended July 2, 2021 or July 3, 2020.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

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

•Any obligation under certain guarantee contracts;

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

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

•Any obligation, including a contingent obligation, under a material variable interest 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 July 2, 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 July 2, 2021, we did not have material financial guarantees or other contractual commitments that we believe are reasonably likely to adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, 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 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 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 sub-lessees is individually and in the aggregate not material to our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or equity.

Commercial Commitments and Contractual Obligations

The amounts disclosed in our Fiscal 2020 Form 10-K include our commercial commitments and contractual obligations. There were no material changes during the two quarters ended July 2, 2021 in our contractual cash obligations to repay debt, to purchase goods and services, to make payments under operating leases or our commercial commitments, or in our contingent liabilities on outstanding surety bonds, standby letters of credit or other arrangements as disclosed in our Fiscal 2020 Form 10-K.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) and accompanying Notes are prepared in accordance with GAAP. Preparing financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and backlog as well as disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from our estimates. These estimates and assumptions are affected by the application of our accounting policies. Critical accounting policies and estimates are those that require application of management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods. Critical accounting policies and estimates for us include: (i) revenue recognition on contracts and contract estimates; (ii) postretirement benefit plans; (iii) impairment testing of goodwill; (iv) accounting for business combinations; and (v) income taxes and tax valuation allowances. For additional discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates, see “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” in Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Fiscal 2020 Form 10-K.

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 POC cost-to-cost method of revenue recognition, 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 the transfer of control of the asset to the customer. 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 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.

EAC adjustments resulted in the following impacts to operating income for the periods presented:


	Quarter Ended				Two Quarters Ended
(In millions)	July 2, 2021		July 3, 2020		July 2, 2021		July 3, 2020

Favorable adjustments	$	165	$	161	$	327	$	343
Unfavorable adjustments	(85)		(63)		(165)		(142)
Net operating income adjustments	$	80	$	98	$	162	$	201

The net favorable impact to operating income from EAC adjustments in the quarter and two quarters ended July 2, 2021 reflected benefits of operational performance on programs, including additional retirement of risks and schedule improvements, achievement of incentive payments and realization of synergy savings across all four of our business segments. There were no EAC adjustments on any individual program with impacts to operating income in the quarters and two quarters ended July 2, 2021 or July 3, 2020 that were material to our results of operations on a consolidated or segment basis for such periods.

We 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 a 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.

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 Federal Acquisition Regulations 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 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 profit 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.

Goodwill

Goodwill in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet (Unaudited) as of July 2, 2021 and January 1, 2021 was $18.2 billion and $18.9 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.

Commercial Aviation Solutions goodwill allocation: As described in more detail in Note I — Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets and elsewhere in the Notes, during the quarter ended July 2, 2021, we adjusted our Aviation Systems segment reporting to better align our businesses and separated the CTS business from our Commercial Aviation Solutions reporting unit, creating a new CTS reporting unit within the Commercial Aviation Solutions sector of our Aviation Systems segment. We assigned $68 million of goodwill to the CTS reporting unit and $779 million of goodwill to the Commercial Aviation Solutions reporting unit on a relative fair value basis. In conjunction with the relative fair value allocation, we tested goodwill assigned to each new reporting unit and concluded that no goodwill impairment existed as of July 2, 2021.

CPS business goodwill allocation: As described in more detail in Note B — Business Divestitures in the Notes, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell our CPS business on March 1, 2021. Because the then-pending divestiture of the CPS business represented the disposal of a portion of a reporting unit within our Aviation Systems segment, we assigned $174 million of goodwill to the CPS business disposal group on a relative fair value basis. In conjunction with the relative fair value allocation, we tested goodwill assigned to the CPS business disposal group and goodwill assigned to the retained businesses of the reporting unit for impairment and concluded that goodwill related to the CPS business disposal group was impaired. In connection with the preparation of our financial statements for the quarter ended April 2, 2021, we recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $62 million, which is included in the “Impairment of goodwill and other assets” line item in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income (Unaudited) for the two quarters ended July 2, 2021.

Electron Devices business goodwill allocation: As described in more detail in Note B — Business Divestitures in the Notes, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell our Electron Devices business on July 2, 2021. Because the pending divestiture of the Electron Devices business represented the disposal of a portion of a reporting unit within our Aviation Systems segment, we assigned $15 million of goodwill to the Electron Devices disposal group on a relative fair value basis. In conjunction with the relative fair value allocation, we tested goodwill assigned to the Electron Devices business disposal group and goodwill assigned to the retained businesses of the reporting unit for impairment and concluded that no goodwill impairment existed.

AP disposal groups goodwill allocations: As described in more detail in Note B — Business Divestitures in the Notes, during the quarter ended July 2, 2021, we determined the criteria to be classified as held for sale were met with respect to two businesses in our Aviation Systems segment. Because the potential divestiture of the two businesses in the AP disposal groups represented the disposal of a portion of a reporting unit within our Aviation Systems segment, we assigned $11 million of goodwill to the AP disposal groups on a relative fair value basis. In conjunction with the relative fair value allocation, we tested goodwill assigned to the AP disposal groups 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.

For purposes of allocating goodwill to each disposal group above, we determined the fair value of the disposal group based on the negotiated or expected selling price and the fair value of the retained businesses 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. 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 the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our Fiscal 2020 Form 10-K for additional information regarding the fair value hierarchy.

Impairment of long-lived assets

During the quarter ended July 2, 2021, we adjusted our Aviation Systems segment reporting to better align our businesses and separated the CTS business from our Commercial Aviation Solutions reporting unit, creating a new CTS reporting unit within the Commercial Aviation Solutions sector of our Aviation Systems segment. To test for potential impairment of the

long-lived assets, including identifiable intangible assets and property, plant and equipment, related to CTS, 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 and, as a result, we determined the carrying value of the CTS asset group was not recoverable. Next, we prepared an estimate of the fair value of CTS based on a combination of market-based valuation techniques, utilizing quoted market prices and comparable publicly reported transactions and projected discounted cash flows. We compared the fair value of CTS to our carrying value and recorded a $145 million non-cash charge for the impairment of CTS long-lived assets, including $63 million for impairment of identifiable intangible assets, which is included in the “Impairment of goodwill and other assets” line item in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income (Unaudited) for the quarter and two quarters ended July 2, 2021. See Note H — Property, Plant and Equipment, net and Note I — Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets in the Notes for additional information.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS

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

•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.

•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 equity.

•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 equity.

•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 equity.

•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.

•Our commercial aviation products, systems and services businesses are affected by global demand and economic factors that could negatively impact our financial results.

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

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

•We 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 subject to government investigations, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and equity.

•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.

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

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

•Some of our workforce is represented by labor unions, so a prolonged work stoppage could harm our business.

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

•Changes in estimates we use in accounting for many of our programs could adversely affect our future financial results.

•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.

•A downgrade in our credit ratings could materially adversely affect our business.

•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, cash flows and equity in future periods.

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

•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.

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

•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 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.

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

•Unforeseen environmental issues could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and equity.

•Strategic transactions, including mergers, acquisitions and divestitures, involve significant risks and uncertainties that could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and equity.

•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 and financial condition.

•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.

Additional details and discussions concerning some of the factors that could affect our forward-looking statements or future results are set forth in our Fiscal 2020 Form 10-K under Item 1A. “Risk Factors” and in Part II, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in this Report. The foregoing list of factors and the factors set forth in Item 1A. “Risk Factors” included in our Fiscal 2020 Form 10-K and in Part II, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in this Report are not exhaustive. Additional risks and uncertainties not known to us or that we currently believe not to be material also may adversely impact our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and equity. Should any risks or uncertainties develop into actual events, these developments could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and equity. The forward-looking statements contained in this Report are made as of the date of filing of this Report, and we disclaim any intention or obligation, other than imposed by law, to update or revise any forward-looking statements or to update the reasons actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or developments or otherwise.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

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. There were no material changes during the two quarters ended July 2, 2021 with respect to the

information appearing in Part II, Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk,” of our Fiscal 2020 Form 10-K.

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 the 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 July 2, 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 currency denominated assets, liabilities and firm commitments. See Note P — Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities in the Notes for additional information.

Interest Rates: As of July 2, 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 July 2, 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 or 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 debt obligations over the next twelve months.

As of July 2, 2021, we also had long-term variable-rate debt obligations of $250 million of Floating Rate Notes due 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 July 2, 2021 would not have had a material impact on our results of operations or cash flows. See Note 14: “Debt” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our Fiscal 2020 Form 10-K for further information.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures: We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms. Our disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives, and management necessarily is required to use its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, as of July 2, 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 July 2, 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. There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended July 2, 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

See Note T — Legal Proceedings and Contingencies in the Notes for discussion regarding material legal proceedings and contingencies. Except as set forth in such discussion, there have been no material developments in legal proceedings as reported in Item 3. “Legal Proceedings” of our Fiscal 2020 Form 10-K.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Investors should carefully review and consider the information regarding certain factors that could materially affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and equity as set forth in Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of our Fiscal 2020 Form 10-K. There have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our Fiscal 2020 Form 10-K. We may disclose changes to our risk factors or disclose additional risk factors from time to time in our future filings with the SEC. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently believe not to be material also may adversely impact our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and equity.

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

Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

During the quarter ended July 2, 2021, we repurchased 3.9 million shares of our common stock under our share repurchase program for $850 million at an average share price of $217.97, excluding commissions of $0.02 per share. The level of our repurchases depends on a number of factors, including our financial condition, capital requirements, cash flows, results of operations, future business prospects and other factors our Board of Directors and management may deem relevant. We have announced that we currently expect to repurchase up to $3.4 billion in shares under our repurchase program in fiscal 2021, but we can give no assurances regarding the level and timing of share repurchases. 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. Shares repurchased by us are cancelled and retired. The following table sets forth information with respect to repurchases by us of our common stock during the quarter ended July 2, 2021:

* Periods represent our fiscal months

(1)On January 28, 2021, we announced that our Board of Directors approved a $6 billion share repurchase authorization under our share repurchase program that was in addition to the remaining unused authorization of $210 million as of January 1, 2021. We repurchase shares of our common stock through open-market purchases, private transactions, transactions structured through investment banking institutions or any combination thereof. As of July 2, 2021, $4.7 billion (as reflected in the table above) was the approximate dollar amount of our common stock that can still be purchased under our share repurchase program, which does not have a stated expiration date.
