NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE A: BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of L3Harris Technologies, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. As used in these notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (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.
The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared by L3Harris in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the rules and regulations of the U.S. 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 and are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year or any subsequent period.
In the opinion of management, such interim financial statements reflect all adjustments (including 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 balance sheet at December 30, 2022 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. The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with Part II: Item 7. 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 December 30, 2022 (our "Fiscal 2022 Form 10-K").
Business Realignment. Effective for fiscal 2023, which began December 31, 2022, we adjusted our reporting to better align our businesses and transferred our Agile Development Group (“ADG”) business from our Integrated Mission Systems ("IMS") segment to our Space & Airborne Systems (“SAS”) segment.
The historical results, discussion and presentation of our business segments as set forth in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and these Notes reflect the impact of these changes for all periods presented in order to present segment information on a comparable basis. There is no impact on our previously reported consolidated statements of operations, balance sheets, statements of cash flows or statements of equity resulting from these changes.
See Note G: Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets and Note O: Business Segment Information in these Notes for further information.
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 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 and these Notes. Materially different results can occur as circumstances change and additional information becomes known.
Reclassifications
The classification of certain prior year amounts have been adjusted in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and these Notes to conform to current year classifications.

Accounting Standards Updates
In October 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers, which requires entities to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The update will generally result in an entity recognizing contract assets and contract liabilities at amounts consistent with those recorded by the acquiree immediately before the acquisition date rather than at fair value. The new standard is effective on a prospective basis for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted. We adopted the new standard effective December 31, 2022. On January 3, 2023, we completed the acquisition of Viasat, Inc.’s (“Viasat”) Tactical Data Links product line (“TDL”) and applied the provisions of ASU 2021-08 in our purchase accounting for TDL. The adoption of the new standard did not have a material impact on our operating results, financial position, or cash flows. For more information regarding the TDL acquisition see Note B: Acquisitions, Divestitures and Asset Sales in these Notes for further information.
NOTE B: ACQUISITIONS, DIVESTITURES AND ASSET SALES
Acquisition of Viasat’s TDL
On January 3, 2023, we completed the acquisition of TDL for a purchase price of $1.958 billion. The acquisition, which qualified as a business acquisition, enhances our networking capability and provides access to the ubiquitous Link 16 waveform, better positioning us to enable the U.S. Department of Defense (“DoD”) integrated architecture goal in joint all-domain command and control (“JADC2”).
On November 22, 2022, we established a $2.25 billion, three-year senior unsecured term loan facility by entering into a Loan Agreement (“Term Loan 2025”) with a syndicate of lenders, in part, to finance the acquisition. See Note H: Debt and Credit Arrangements in these Notes for further information regarding Term Loan 2025.
Net assets and results of operations of TDL are reflected in our financial results commencing on January 3, 2023, the acquisition date, and are reported within our Communication Systems (“CS”) segment.
We accounted for the acquisition of TDL using the acquisition method of accounting, which required us to measure identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquiree at their fair values as of the acquisition date, with the excess of the consideration transferred over those fair values recorded as goodwill. Our preliminary fair value estimates and assumptions are subject to change as we obtain additional information over the measurement period.
As of the acquisition date, the fair value of consideration transferred consisted of the following:
(In millions)January 3, 2023
Purchase price$1,958 
Estimated net working capital and other adjustments15 
Cash consideration paid1,973

(1)Prior to the acquisition, we had a preexisting relationship with Viasat’s TDL business in the normal course of business. As of the acquisition date, our CS segment had a receivable from Viasat’s TDL business with a fair value of $1 million that was settled in connection with the acquisition.

(1)Fair value adjustments during the quarter ended June 30, 2023 primarily related to refined assumptions in the valuation of customer relationship intangible assets.
Our preliminary estimates and assumptions are subject to change as we obtain additional information during the measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition date); therefore, these provisional measurements of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are subject to change.
All intangible assets acquired in the TDL acquisition are subject to amortization. The preliminary fair value of identifiable intangible assets acquired as of the acquisition date is as follows:

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
We determined the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed by using available market information and various valuation methods that require judgment related to estimations. The use of different estimates could produce different results. The fair value of intangible assets is estimated using the relief from royalty method for the acquired developed technology and the multi-period excess earnings method for the acquired customer relationships. Both of these level 3 fair value methods are income-based valuation approaches, which require judgment to estimate appropriate discount rates, royalty rates related to the developed technology intangible assets, revenue growth attributable to the intangible assets and remaining useful lives. The fair value of inventory was estimated using the replacement cost approach and comparative sales method, which require estimates of replacement cost for raw materials and estimates of expected sales price less costs to complete and dispose of the inventory, plus a profit margin for efforts incurred for the work in progress and finished goods.
We have recorded a preliminary forward loss provision of $86 million in connection with certain acquired contracts which was included in the “Other accrued items” line item in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The forward loss provisions will be recognized as a reduction to cost of sales as we incur costs to satisfy the associated performance obligations. There will be no net impact on our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. We recognized $6 million and $14 million for amortization of the forward loss provision during the quarter and two quarters ended June 30, 2023, respectively.
We have identified certain contractual obligations with customers with economic returns that are higher or lower than could be realized in market transactions as of the acquisition date and have recorded liabilities for the preliminary acquisition date fair value of the off-market components. The preliminary acquisition date fair value of the off-market components is a net liability of $61 million, consisting of $33 million and $28 million included in the “Other accrued items” and “Other long-term liabilities” line items in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, respectively, and excludes any amounts already recognized in forward loss provisions (see discussion in the preceding paragraph). We measured the fair value of these components as the amount by which the terms of the contract with the customer deviates from the terms that a market participant could have achieved at the acquisition date. The off-market components of these contracts will be recognized as an increase to revenue as we incur costs to satisfy the associated performance obligations. We recognized $6 million and $15 million for amortization of off-market contract liabilities during the quarter and two quarters ended June 30, 2023, respectively. Future estimated revenue from the amortization of off-market contract liabilities (based on the estimated pattern of cash flows to be incurred to satisfy associated performance obligations) is $18 million in the remainder of 2023, $21 million in 2024 and immaterial amounts thereafter.
Goodwill. The $1.117 billion of goodwill recognized is attributable to the assembled workforce, in addition to synergies expected to be realized through integration with existing CS segment businesses and growth opportunities in the space domain. The acquired goodwill is tax deductible. See Note G: Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets in these Notes for further information.
Financial Results. Revenue of TDL included in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 and for the acquisition date through June 30, 2023 was $83 million and $164 million. During the same periods of calendar year 2022, revenue for Viasat’s TDL was approximately $90 million and $185 million.
Income before income taxes of TDL included in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 and for the acquisition date through June 30, 2023 was $22 million and $48 million. During the same periods of calendar year 2022, income before income taxes of Viasat’s TDL was approximately $20 million and $25 million.
Acquisition-Related Costs. Acquisition-related costs have been expensed as incurred. In connection with the TDL acquisition, we recorded transaction and integration costs of $23 million and $54 million for the quarter and two quarters ended June 30, 2023, respectively, which were included in the Engineering, selling and administrative expenses line item in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Pending Acquisition of Aerojet Rocketdyne Holdings, Inc. (“AJRD”)
On December 17, 2022, we entered into a definitive agreement to acquire AJRD in an all-cash transaction for a purchase price of approximately $4.7 billion. We were advised on July 26, 2023 that the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) will not block the acquisition of AJRD. We expect the acquisition to close on or about July 28, 2023. In connection with the pending acquisition, during the two quarters ended June 30, 2023, we entered into a revolving credit facility and a commercial paper program. See Note H: Debt and Credit Arrangements in these Notes and Note 3: Acquisitions in our Fiscal 2022 Form 10-K for further information regarding the pending AJRD acquisition and related funding.

After selling costs and purchase price adjustments, the net cash proceeds for the sale of VIS were $71 million. The operating results of VIS were reported in the SAS segment through the date of divestiture.
The carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities of VIS were classified as held for sale in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 30, 2022.
Completed Divestiture and Asset Sale for the Two Quarters Ended July 1, 2022
During the two quarters ended July 1, 2022, we completed one business divestiture and one asset sale from our IMS segment for combined net cash proceeds of $20 million and recognized a pre-tax gain of $8 million associated with the asset sale included in the “Engineering, selling and administrative expenses” line item in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the quarter and two quarters ended July 1, 2022.
Fair Value of Businesses and Goodwill Allocation
For purposes of allocating goodwill to the disposal groups that represent a portion of a reporting unit, we determine 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, 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 G: Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets and Note L: Fair Value Measurements in these Notes for additional information.
NOTE C: STOCK OPTIONS AND OTHER SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
At June 30, 2023, we had stock options or other share-based compensation awards outstanding under several employee stock incentive plans (“L3Harris SIPs”). The compensation cost related to our share-based awards that was charged against income for the quarter and two quarters ended June 30, 2023 was $22 million and $45 million, respectively, and $41 million and $69 million for the quarter and two quarters ended July 1, 2022, respectively.
Awards granted to participants under L3Harris SIPs and the weighted-average grant-date fair value per share during the two quarters ended June 30, 2023 and July 1, 2022 are as follows:

NOTE E: 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.

Reallocation of Goodwill in Business Realignment. Effective December 31, 2022, we adjusted our reporting to better align our businesses and transferred our ADG business (a reporting unit) from our IMS segment to our SAS segment (also a reporting unit). In connection with the realignment, we reduced our reporting units from nine to eight as the ADG reporting unit and all $327 million of associated goodwill was absorbed by our existing SAS reporting unit given the economic similarities of the two reporting units. Immediately before the realignment, we performed a qualitative impairment assessment over our SAS reporting unit and a quantitative impairment assessment over our ADG reporting unit. Immediately after the realignment, we performed a quantitative impairment assessment over the SAS reporting unit. We prepared estimates of the fair value of our pre-realignment ADG reporting unit and post-realignment SAS reporting unit based on a combination of market-based valuation techniques, utilizing quoted market prices, comparable publicly reported transactions and an income-based valuation technique using projected discounted cash flows. These assessments indicated no impairment existed either before or after the realignment.
Goodwill from TDL Acquisition. In connection with the January 3, 2023 acquisition of TDL, we recorded $1.117 billion of goodwill in our Broadband reporting unit within our CS segment. See Note B: Acquisitions, Divestitures and Asset Sales in these Notes for further information.

On January 3, 2023, we drew $2.0 billion on Term Loan 2025 and utilized the proceeds to fund the cash consideration paid and a portion of the associated transaction and integration costs related to the TDL acquisition. See Note B: Acquisitions, Divestitures and Asset Sales in these Notes for further information on the TDL acquisition.
On March 14, 2023, we drew an additional $250 million on Term Loan 2025 and utilized the proceeds to repay our Floating 2023 Notes.
At June 30, 2023, we had $2.25 billion outstanding under Term Loan 2025. There were no borrowings outstanding under Term Loan 2025 at December 30, 2022.
Borrowings under Term Loan 2025 bear interest at: (i) the sum of the term secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”) for any tenor comparable to the applicable interest period, plus 0.10%, plus an applicable margin between 1.125% and 1.875% that varies based on ratings of our senior unsecured long-term debt securities (“Senior Debt Ratings”). At June 30, 2023, the interest rate on Term Loan 2025 was 6.5% (6.1% net of the impact of our interest rate cap derivative). See Note 19: Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities in our Fiscal 2022 Form 10-K for further information on our interest rate cap derivative.
There were no issuances of variable and fixed-rate long-term debt during the two quarters ended July 1, 2022.
Long-Term Debt Repayments
On March 14, 2023, we repaid the entire outstanding $250 million aggregate principal amount of our Floating 2023 Notes through a $250 million draw on Term Loan 2025 as described above under “Long-Term Debt Issued.” The Floating 2023 Notes were classified as “Long-term debt, net” in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 30, 2022.
On June 15, 2023, we repaid the entire outstanding $800 million aggregate principal amount of our 3.85% 2023 Notes through cash on hand and the issuance of commercial paper during the quarter ended June 30, 2023.
There were no repayments of variable and fixed-rate long-term debt during the two quarters ended July 1, 2022.
2023 Credit Agreement
On March 10, 2023, we established a $2.4 billion, 364-day senior unsecured revolving credit facility ("2023 Credit Facility") by entering into a 364-Day Credit Agreement (“2023 Credit Agreement”) with a syndicate of lenders.
Proceeds of the initial funding of loans under the 2023 Credit Agreement are required to be used to finance a portion of the purchase price for the acquisition of AJRD and for the fees, taxes, costs and related expenses related to it, and thereafter may be used for working capital purposes.
At our election, borrowings under the 2023 Credit Agreement, which will be designated in U.S. Dollars, will bear interest at the sum of the term SOFR rate or the Base Rate (as defined in the 2023 Credit Agreement), plus an applicable margin. In addition to interest payable on the principal amount of indebtedness outstanding, beginning June 6, 2023, we are required to pay a quarterly unused commitment fee that varies based on our Senior Debt Ratings.
The 2023 Credit Agreement also contains representations, warranties, covenants and events of default that are substantially similar to the existing Revolving Credit Agreement, dated as of July 29, 2022 (“2022 Credit Agreement”). The 2023 Credit Agreement generally matures on the earlier of 364 days from the initial funding or December 8, 2023, provided that we may extend the maturity of any loans outstanding under the 2023 Credit Agreement by one year, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions.
At June 30, 2023, we had no outstanding borrowings and were in compliance with all covenants under our 2023 Credit Agreement. For additional information regarding our 2023 Credit Agreement, see our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on March 16, 2023.

Commercial Paper Program
On March 14, 2023, we established a new commercial paper program ("CP Program"), which replaced our prior $1.0 billion commercial paper program. Under the CP Program, we issue unsecured commercial paper notes up to a maximum aggregate amount of $3.4 billion, which was increased to $3.9 billion subsequent to June 30, 2023, supported by amounts available under the 2022 Credit Agreement and the 2023 Credit Agreement.
The commercial paper notes are sold at par less a discount representing an interest factor or, if interest bearing, at par, and the maturities vary but may not exceed 397 days from the date of issue. The commercial paper notes will rank at least pari passu with all other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness.
At June 30, 2023, we had $579 million outstanding notes under our CP Program which primarily consists of amounts used for the June 15, 2023 repayment of the $800 million aggregate principal amount of our 3.85% 2023 Notes, which is included as a component of the “Short-term debt” line item in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

NOTE J: EARNINGS PER SHARE
Net income per common share attributable to L3Harris common shareholders (“EPS”) is computed by dividing earnings to L3Harris common shareholders less earnings allocated to participating securities, if applicable, by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Net income per diluted common share attributable to L3Harris common shareholders ("diluted EPS") incorporates potential dilutive common shares, primarily consisting of employee stock options and restricted and performance share unit awards, into the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding.
The weighted-average number of common shares outstanding used to compute basic and diluted EPS are as follows:

NOTE K: INCOME TAXES
Our effective tax rate was 5.6% for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 compared with 10.5% for the quarter ended July 1, 2022. For the quarter ended June 30, 2023, our effective tax rate benefited from the favorable impacts of R&D credits, foreign-derived intangible income (“FDII”) deductions and the resolution of specific audit uncertainties. For the quarter ended July 1, 2022, our effective tax rate benefited from the favorable impact of R&D credits, an incremental FDII benefit resulting from the requirement to capitalize and amortize R&D expenses beginning in fiscal 2022 and the resolution of specific audit uncertainties.
Our effective tax rate was 7.4% for the two quarters ended June 30, 2023 compared with 10.9% for the two quarters ended July 1, 2022. For the two quarters ended June 30, 2023, our effective tax rate benefited from the favorable impacts of R&D credits, FDII deductions and the resolution of specific audit uncertainties. For the two quarters ended July 1, 2022, our effective tax rate was favorably impacted by a reduction in the deferred tax liabilities on the outside basis of certain foreign subsidiaries due to an internal restructuring and the items described above in this Note impacting the quarter ended July 1, 2022.
NOTE L: FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal market (or most advantageous market, in the absence of a principal market) for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Entities are required to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs in measuring fair value and to utilize a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:
Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 — Observable inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable or are derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data by correlation or other means.
Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity, are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities and reflect our own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed using the best information available in the circumstances.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
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 June 30, 2023 and December 30, 2022:

NOTE M: CHANGES IN ESTIMATES
Many of our contracts utilize 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. At the outset of each contract, we gauge its complexity and perceived risks and establish an estimated total cost at completion. Due to the long-term nature of many of these contracts, developing these estimates often requires judgment. 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. As the contracts progress, we may successfully retire risks or complexities and may add additional risks, and we adjust our estimated total cost at completion. For additional discussion of our revenue recognition policies and our EAC process, see “Critical Accounting Estimates” in Part II: Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Fiscal 2022 Form 10K.
Net EAC adjustments had the following impact to earnings for the periods presented:

Revenue recognized from performance obligations satisfied in prior periods was $33 million and $69 million for the quarter and two quarters ended June 30, 2023, respectively, and $32 million and $90 million for the quarter and two quarters ended July 1, 2022, respectively.
NOTE N: BACKLOG
Backlog, which is the equivalent of our remaining performance obligations, represents the future revenue we expect to recognize as we perform on our current contracts. Backlog comprises both funded backlog (i.e., firm orders for which funding is authorized and appropriated) and unfunded backlog. Backlog excludes unexercised contract options and potential orders under ordering-type contracts, such as indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity contracts.
At June 30, 2023, our ending backlog was $24.9 billion. We expect to recognize approximately 35% of the revenue associated with this backlog by the end of 2023 and approximately 70% by the end of 2024, with the remainder to be recognized thereafter. At December 30, 2022, our ending backlog was $22.3 billion.
NOTE O: BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION
We structure our operations primarily around the products, systems and services we sell and the markets we serve and report our financial results in the following three reportable segments:
IMS: including multi-mission intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (“ISR”) systems; integrated electrical and electronic systems for maritime platforms; advanced electro-optical and infrared solutions; fuzing and ordnance systems; commercial aviation products; and commercial pilot training operations;
SAS: including space payloads, sensors and full-mission solutions; classified intelligence and cyber; avionics; electronic warfare; and mission networks for air traffic management operations; and
CS: including tactical communications with global communications solutions; broadband communications; tactical data links; integrated vision solutions; and public safety radios, and system applications and equipment.
Business Realignment. Effective December 31, 2022, we adjusted our reporting to better align our businesses and transferred our ADG business from our IMS segment to our SAS segment.
Acquisition of Viasat’s TDL. On January 3, 2023, we completed the acquisition of TDL, which is reported within our CS segment. See Note B: Acquisitions, Divestitures and Asset Sales in these Notes for additional information regarding our acquisition of TDL.

(2)Includes certain corporate-level expenses that are not included in management’s evaluation of any segment’s operating performance.
(3)Includes amortization of identifiable intangible assets acquired in connection with business combinations. Because our acquisitions benefited the entire Company, the amortization of identifiable intangible assets acquired was not allocated to any segment.
(4)Includes a $21 million non-cash charge for impairment of intangible assets related to the closure of a facility during the quarter and two quarters ended June 30, 2023. See Note G: Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets in these Notes for additional information. Additionally, includes $18 million charge related to an impairment of a customer contract during the two quarters ended June 30, 2023.
(5)Costs associated with transforming multiple functions, systems and processes to increase agility and competitiveness, including third-party consulting, workforce optimization and incremental IT expenses for implementation of new systems.

See FAS/CAS operating adjustment table below.
FAS/CAS Pension Operating Adjustment
In accordance with CAS, we allocate a portion of pension and OPEB plan costs to our U.S. Government contracts. However, our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements require pension and OPEB plan income or expense to be calculated in accordance with FAS requirements under GAAP. The “FAS/CAS operating adjustment” line item in the table below represents the difference between the service cost component of FAS pension and OPEB cost and total CAS pension and OPEB cost. The non-service cost components of FAS pension and OPEB income or expense are included as component of the “Non-operating income, net” line item in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. See Note I: Pension and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans in these Notes for more information on the composition of non-service cost components of FAS pension and OPEB income and expense.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE P: LEGAL PROCEEDINGS AND CONTINGENCIES
In ordinary course of business, we are routinely defendants in, parties to or otherwise subject to many pending and threatened legal actions, claims, disputes, arbitration and other legal proceedings incident to our business, arising from or related matters, including but not limited to: product liability; personal injury; patents, trademarks, trade secrets or other intellectual property; labor and employment 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 accrue contingencies based on a range of possible outcomes. We record accruals for losses related to those matters against us that we consider to be probable and that can be reasonably estimated. Gain contingencies, if any, are recognized when they are realized and legal costs generally are expensed when incurred. At June 30, 2023, 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 June 30, 2023 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 several 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. (“Exelis”), which we acquired in 2015, of potential responsibility for contribution to the environmental investigation and remediation of multiple locations in Alaska. In addition, in March 2016, the EPA notified over 100 potentially responsible parties, including Exelis, of potential liability for the cost of remediation for the 8.3-mile stretch of the Lower Passaic River in New Jersey, estimated by the EPA to be $1.38 billion. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, the EPA further announced an interim plan to remediate sediment in the upper nine miles of the of the Lower Passaic River with an estimated cost of $441 million. The potential responsible parties’ respective allocations for the Lower Passaic River remediation have not been determined. Although it is not feasible to predict the outcome of these environmental claims made against us, based on available information, in the opinion of our management, any payments we may be required to make as a result of environmental claims made against us in existence at June 30, 2023 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.
NOTE Q: SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
We were advised on July 26, 2023 that the FTC will not block the acquisition of AJRD. We expect the acquisition to close on or about July 28, 2023.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and the 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. and subsidiaries (“the Company”) as of June 30, 2023, the related condensed consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income and equity for the quarter and two quarters ended June 30, 2023 and July 1, 2022, the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the two quarters ended June 30, 2023 and July 1, 2022 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 December 30, 2022, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, cash flows and equity for the year then ended, and the related notes (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 24, 2023, 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 December 30, 2022, 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 are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the 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 and accompanying Notes. In addition, reference should be made to our audited Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying Notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements and Part II: Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Fiscal 2022 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.”
We are the Trusted Disruptor for the global aerospace and defense industry. With customers’ mission-critical needs in mind, we deliver end-to-end technology solutions connecting the space, air, land, sea and cyber domains. We support government and commercial customers in more than 100 countries, with our largest customers being various departments and agencies of the U.S. Government and their prime contractors. Our products and services have defense and civil government applications, as well as commercial applications. We generally sell directly to our customers, and we utilize agents and intermediaries to sell and market some products and services, especially in international markets.
U.S. and International Budget Environment
Our largest customers are various departments and agencies of the U.S. Government — the percentage of our revenue that was derived from sales to U.S. Government customers, including foreign military sales funded through the U.S. Government, whether directly or through prime contractors, was 74% for the two quarters ended June 30, 2023.
On December 29, 2022, the President signed the National Defense Authorization Act, providing $858 billion of national defense funding for the 2023 U.S. Government fiscal year (“GFY”), of which $816 billion was allotted to the DoD. On March 13, 2023, the DoD released details around the President’s GFY 2024 $886 billion national defense budget request (“PBR”). The PBR includes $842 billion for the DoD, a proposed increase of approximately 3% over the enacted GFY 2023 DoD budget. Many of our offerings funded in the enacted GFY 2023 DoD budget are also supported by the PBR, including responsive satellites, ISR aircraft, tactical communications and maritime solutions.
The President’s 2024 GFY budget request and the overall defense spending environment in both the U.S. and internationally reflect the continued impacts of the conflicts in Ukraine, and geopolitical tensions across Asia and the Middle East. Changes to U.S. Government or international spending priorities have and could in the future impact our business.
On June 3, 2023, the President signed into law the Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023 (“FRA”), which suspended the federal debt limit through January 1, 2025 and established new discretionary funding limits for defense and non-defense accounts. The deal capped GFY 2024 national defense funding at $886 billion. This includes $842 billion for the DoD specifically. GFY non-defense funding is capped at $704 billion. On July 14, 2023, the House passed its GFY 2024 National Defense Authorization Act authorizing $842 billion for the DoD, consistent with the GFY PBR and the caps set forth by the FRA. We expect that the House and Senate will continue consideration of GFY 2024 appropriation and authorization bills.
The overall defense spending environment, both in the U.S. and internationally, reflects the continued impacts of the conflicts in Ukraine and geopolitical tensions across Asia and the Middle East, but changes to U.S. Government or international spending priorities have and could in the future impact our business. The Federal budget and debt ceiling in particular could be the subject of considerable Congressional debate, and changes in spending priorities, including changes in the DoD budget, could adversely affect our existing programs and future contracts and impact our financial condition and results of operations.
See our U.S. Government funding risks and the discussion of our international business risks within Part I: Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Fiscal 2022 Form 10-K.
_____________________________________________________________________

Economic Environment
The macroeconomic environment continues to present challenges, which have impacted and may continue to impact our future results. Rising inflation in the U.S. has led to higher input costs. The ongoing uncertainty related to the impacts of inflation, as well as increased interest rates, raise the cost of borrowing for the Federal government.
To the extent feasible, we continue to proactively deploy operational improvement strategies and have consistently followed the practice of adjusting our prices to reflect the impact of inflation on salaries and fringe benefits for employees and the cost of purchased materials and services; our fixed-price contracts could subject us to losses in the event of cost overruns or a significant increase in or a sustained period of increased inflation.
KEY DEVELOPMENTS
Business Realignment. Effective for fiscal 2023, we adjusted our reporting to better align our businesses and transferred our ADG business (representing $74 million and $157 million of revenue for the quarter and two quarters ended June 30, 2023, respectively, and $77 million and $147 million of revenue for the quarter and two quarters ended July 1, 2022, respectively) from our IMS segment to our SAS segment. See Note A: Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Notes for further information.
Acquisition of Viasat’s TDL. On January 3, 2023, we completed the TDL acquisition which is reported within our CS segment. See Note B: Acquisitions, Divestitures and Asset Sales in the Notes for further information regarding the TDL acquisition.
Pending Acquisition of AJRD. On March 15, 2023, in connection with our definitive agreement to acquire AJRD, we and AJRD each received a request for additional information and documentary material (the "Second Request") from the FTC, which extended the waiting period for review under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvement Act of 1976, as amended. We were advised on July 26, 2023 that the FTC will not block the acquisition of AJRD. We expect the acquisition to close on or about July 28, 2023.

Revenue and Gross Margin
One Quarter Comparison. Revenue increased 13% in the quarter ended June 30, 2023 compared with the quarter ended July 1, 2022 from higher revenue across all segments as CS, SAS and IMS revenues increased $296 million, $143 million and $127 million, respectively.
Gross margin and gross margin as a percentage of revenue decreased in the quarter ended June 30, 2023 compared with the quarter ended July 1, 2022, largely due to a net change in EAC adjustments and higher mix of lower-margin revenue, partially offset by the increases in revenue volume noted in the revenue discussion above.
Two Quarters Comparison. Revenue increased 11% in the two quarters ended June 30, 2023 compared with the two quarters ended July 1, 2022 from higher revenue across all segments as CS, SAS and IMS revenues increased $496 million, $281 million and $168 million, respectively.

Interest Expense, Net
One Quarter Comparison. Interest expense, net increased in the quarter ended June 30, 2023 compared with the quarter ended July 1, 2022 primarily due to $37 million of interest expense on the $2.25 billion outstanding under our variable rate Term Loan 2025.
Two Quarters Comparison. Interest expense, net increased in the two quarters ended June 30, 2023 compared with the two quarters ended July 1, 2022 primarily due to $72 million of interest expense on the $2.25 billion outstanding under our variable rate Term Loan 2025.
See Note H: Debt and Credit Arrangements in the Notes for further information.
Income Taxes
One Quarter Comparison. Our effective tax rate was 5.6% for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 compared with 10.5% for the quarter ended July 1, 2022. For the quarter ended June 30, 2023, our effective tax rate benefited from the favorable impacts of R&D credits, FDII deductions and the resolution of specific audit uncertainties. For the quarter ended July 1, 2022, our effective tax rate benefited from the favorable impact of R&D credits, an incremental FDII benefit resulting from the requirement to capitalize and amortize R&D expenses beginning in fiscal 2022 and the resolution of specific audit uncertainties.
Two Quarters Comparison. Our effective tax rate was 7.4% for the two quarters ended June 30, 2023 compared with 10.9% for the two quarters ended July 1, 2022. For the two quarters ended June 30, 2023, our effective tax rate benefited from the favorable impacts of R&D credits, FDII deductions and the resolution of specific audit uncertainties. For the two quarters ended July 1, 2022, our effective tax rate was favorably impacted by a reduction in the deferred tax liabilities on the outside basis of certain foreign subsidiaries due to an internal restructuring and the items described above.
Net Income
One Quarter Comparison and Two Quarters Comparison. The decrease in net income in the quarter and two quarters ended June 30, 2023 compared with the quarter and two quarters ended July 1, 2022 was due to the combined effects of reasons noted in the sections above.
Diluted EPS
Diluted EPS in the quarter and two quarters ended June 30, 2023 decreased compared with the quarter and two quarters ended July 1, 2022 due to lower net income, partially offset by fewer diluted weighted average common shares outstanding, primarily reflecting the repurchases of our common stock under our share repurchase program during the quarter and two quarters ended June 30, 2023 and fiscal 2022 share repurchases subsequent to July 1, 2022.
See the “Common Stock Repurchases” discussion below in this MD&A for further information.

One Quarter Comparison. The increase in IMS segment revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 compared with the quarter ended July 1, 2022 was primarily due to higher revenues of $41 million in Electro Optical and $39 million in Commercial Aviation Solutions, both from higher volumes, $36 million in Maritime largely from power and energy solutions and classified programs and $13 million in ISR from growth in domestic aircraft procurement and missionization.
The decrease in IMS segment operating income for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 compared with the quarter ended July 1, 2022 was primarily due to net change in EAC adjustments principally in ISR and Maritime and a $12 million non-cash impairment of other assets related to facility closures and restructuring of a customer contract.
Two Quarters Comparison. The increase in IMS segment revenue for the two quarters ended June 30, 2023 compared with the two quarters ended July 1, 2022 was primarily due to higher revenues of $77 million in ISR from growth in domestic aircraft procurement and missionization, $66 million in Commercial Aviation Solutions and $62 million in Electro Optical, both from higher volumes.
The decrease in IMS segment operating income for the two quarters ended June 30, 2023 compared with the two quarters ended July 1, 2022 was primarily due to net change in EAC adjustments principally in ISR and Maritime and a $12 million non-cash impairment of other assets related to facility closures and restructuring of a customer contract.

One Quarter Comparison. The increase in SAS segment revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 compared with the quarter ended July 1, 2022 was primarily due to higher revenue of $105 million in Space Systems and $20 million in Intel & Cyber, both from new program ramps and $24 million in Mission Networks from program scope growth. Such increases were partially offset by a decline in legacy airborne platform volume.
The decrease in SAS segment operating income for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 compared with the quarter ended July 1, 2022 was primarily due to a $27 million non-cash impairment of other assets related to restructuring of a customer contract, in addition to lower recovery of overhead costs on fixed price contracts.
Two Quarters Comparison. The increase in SAS segment revenue for the two quarters ended June 30, 2023 compared with the two quarters ended July 1, 2022 was primarily due to higher revenue of $196 million in Space Systems and $28 million in Intel and Cyber, both from new program ramps, $60 million in Mission Avionics from an increase in production revenues and $38 million in Mission Networks from program scope growth. Such increases were partially offset by a decline in legacy airborne platform volume.
The decrease in SAS segment operating income for the two quarters ended June 30, 2023 compared with the two quarters ended July 1, 2022 was primarily due to a $27 million non-cash impairment of other assets related to restructuring of a customer contract, in addition to lower recovery of overhead costs on fixed price contracts.

One Quarter Comparison. The increase in CS segment revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 compared with the quarter ended July 1, 2022 was primarily due to higher revenue of $160 million in Tactical Communications and $27 million in Public Safety, both from higher volumes driven by improved electronic component availability and $115 million in Broadband Communications due to $83 million from the TDL acquisition and higher volumes on legacy platforms.
The increase in CS segment operating income for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 compared with the quarter ended July 1, 2022 was primarily due to higher volumes, including the TDL acquisition, and favorable mix in Tactical Communications.
Two Quarters Comparison. The increase in CS segment revenue for the two quarters ended June 30, 2023 compared with the two quarters ended July 1, 2022 was primarily due to higher revenue of $261 million in Tactical Communications and $65 million in Public Safety, both from higher volumes driven by improved electronic component availability, and $221 million in Broadband Communications due to $164 million from the TDL acquisition and higher volumes on legacy platforms. Such increases were partially offset by a decrease of $34 million related to program execution in Integrated Vision Solutions.
The increase in CS segment operating income for the two quarters ended June 30, 2023 compared with the two quarters ended July 1, 2022 was primarily due to higher volumes, including the TDL acquisition, and favorable mix in Tactical Communications partially offset by program execution in Integrated Vision Solutions.

Net cash provided by operating activities
The $24 million decrease in net cash provided by operating activities in the two quarters ended June 30, 2023 compared with the two quarters ended July 1, 2022 was primarily due to increases in income and payroll related tax payments partially offset by less cash used to fund net working capital (i.e., receivables, contract assets, inventories, accounts payable and contract liabilities) and a decrease in net income, excluding the impact of non-cash items.
Net cash used in investing activities
The $1,953 million increase in net cash used in investing activities in the two quarters ended June 30, 2023 compared with the two quarters ended July 1, 2022 was primarily due to the $1,973 million cash used for the acquisition of TDL during the first quarter of fiscal 2023.
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities
The $1,968 million increase in net cash provided by financing activities in the two quarters ended June 30, 2023 compared with the two quarters ended July 1, 2022 was primarily due to $2.25 billion in proceeds from borrowings on our Term Loan 2025 for which $2.0 billion was utilized for the TDL acquisition, $579 million in net proceeds from issuances of commercial paper and $211 million decrease in cash used to repurchase our common stock under our share repurchase program, partially offset by $1.1 billion increase in repayments of borrowings including the $800 million aggregate principal amount of our 3.85% 2023 Notes and $250 million aggregate principal amount of our Floating 2023 Notes.
See Note H: Debt and Credit Arrangements in the Notes for further information.
Cash and cash equivalents
At June 30, 2023, we had cash and cash equivalents of $366 million, which includes $293 million held by our foreign subsidiaries, a significant portion of which we believe can be repatriated to the U.S. with minimal tax cost.

Capital Structure and Resources
Below describes significant changes to our credit arrangements and debt during the two quarters ended June 30, 2023.
Credit Arrangements
Credit Agreements. On March 10, 2023, we established the $2.4 billion 2023 Credit Facility to finance a portion of the purchase price for the pending acquisition of AJRD. At June 30, 2023, we had no outstanding borrowings and were in compliance with all covenants under our 2023 Credit Agreement. Additionally, at June 30, 2023, we had no outstanding borrowings and were in compliance with all covenants under our $2.0 billion 2022 Credit Agreement.
Commercial Paper Programs. On March 14, 2023, we established the CP Program, which is supported by amounts unused and available under the 2022 Credit Agreement and the 2023 Credit Agreement. From time to time, we use borrowings under the CP Program for general corporate purposes, including the funding of acquisitions, debt refinancing, dividend payments and repurchases of our common stock. During the quarter ended June 30, 2023, we had a maximum outstanding balance of $1.5 billion under our CP program, which we used for the June 15, 2023 repayment of the $800 million aggregate principal amount of our 3.85% 2023 Notes, a portion of which was repaid with cash on hand during the quarter ended June 30, 2023.
Amounts outstanding under the CP Program at June 30, 2023 and the daily average balance and weighted average yield during the quarter ended June 30, 2023 were as follows:
June 30, 2023
(In millions, except weighted average yield)OutstandingDaily Average
CP Program$579 $588 
Weighted Average Yield5.47 %5.33 %
We terminated our prior existing $1.0 billion commercial paper program during the two quarters ended June 30, 2023.
Subsequent to June 30, 2023, we increased the maximum amount available under the CP Program from $3.4 billion to $3.9 billion as permitted under its terms. This amount will be reduced by any borrowings under the 2022 Credit Agreement or the 2023 Credit Agreement. Balances under our CP Program may be elevated from time to time during fiscal 2023 as compared to historical norms.
For further information about our Credit Agreements and CP Program, see Note H: Debt and Credit Arrangements in the Notes.
Debt
At June 30, 2023, we had $8.2 billion of outstanding long-term debt, net, including the current portion of long-term debt, net and financing lease obligations, the majority of which we incurred in connection with merger and acquisition activity.
Long-Term Debt Issued. We drew $2.25 billion in long-term debt on Term Loan 2025 during the two quarters ended June 30, 2023.
Long-Term Debt Repayments. On March 14, 2023, we repaid the entire outstanding $250 million aggregate principal amount of our Floating 2023 Notes through a $250 million draw on Term Loan 2025. On June 15, 2023, we repaid the entire outstanding $800 million aggregate principal amount of our 3.85% 2023 Notes through cash on hand and the issuance of commercial paper.
For a description of our long-term debt, see Note H: Debt and Credit Arrangements in the Notes and Note 13: Debt in our Fiscal 2022 Form 10-K.

Liquidity Assessment
Given our current cash position, outlook for funds generated from operations, credit ratings, available credit facilities, cash needs and debt structure, we have not experienced to date, and do not expect to experience, any material issues with liquidity for the next 12 months and in the longer term, 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 global financial uncertainty. Additionally, provisions in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 required that, beginning in 2022, R&D expenditures be capitalized and amortized over five years. In the future, Congress may consider legislation that would defer the amortization requirement to later years, possibly with retroactive effect. In the meantime, we will continue to make Federal tax payments based on the current tax law. The impact of this tax law on our cash from operations depends on the amount of R&D expenditures incurred and whether the Internal Revenue Service issues guidance on the provision which differs from our current interpretation, among other things. See Part I: Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Fiscal 2022 Form 10-K and Part II. Item 1A. Risk Factors of this Report.
Based on our current business plan and revenue prospects, we believe that our existing cash, funds generated from operations, our senior unsecured credit facilities, our CP Program 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, the pending acquisition of AJRD 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 2023 are expected to be approximately $275 million. Other than operating expenses, cash requirements for fiscal 2023 are expected to consist primarily of expenditures for the pending acquisition of AJRD, capital expenditures, tax payments, dividend payments, and repurchases under our share repurchase program. See “Capital Structure and Resources” and “Commercial Commitments” in Part II: Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Fiscal 2022 Form 10-K for further information regarding our cash requirements.
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, the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 and the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act 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 no less than the required minimum funding thresholds. As a result of prior voluntary contributions and plan performance, we are not required to make any contributions to our U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plans in fiscal 2023 or 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 $184 million as of June 30, 2023. See Note 14: Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits in our Fiscal 2022 Form 10-K and Note I: Pension and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans in the Notes for further information regarding our pension plans.
Common Stock Repurchases
During the two quarters ended June 30, 2023, we used $518 million to repurchase 2.5 million shares of our common stock under our share repurchase program at an average price per share of $204.40, including commissions of $0.02 per share. During the two quarters ended June 30, 2023, $28 million in shares of our common stock were delivered to us or withheld by us to satisfy withholding taxes on employee share-based awards. Shares repurchased by us are cancelled and retired.
_____________________________________________________________________
32


Our repurchase program does not have a stated expiration date and authorizes us to repurchase shares of our common stock through open market purchases, private transactions, transactions structured through investment banking institutions or any combination thereof. At June 30, 2023, we had a remaining unused authorization under our repurchase program of $3.9 billion. We have announced that share repurchases will be moderated in the near-term, but the level and timing of our repurchases depends on a number of factors, including our financial condition, capital requirements, cash flows, results of operations, future business prospects and other factors our Board of Directors or management may deem relevant. The timing, volume and nature of repurchases are also 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 repurchase program is in Part II. Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds of this Report.
Dividends
On February 24, 2023, we announced that our Board of Directors increased the quarterly per share cash dividend rate on our common stock from $1.12 to $1.14, commencing with the dividend declared by our Board of Directors for the first quarter of fiscal 2023, for an annualized per share cash dividend rate of $4.56, which was our twenty-second consecutive annual increase in our quarterly cash dividend rate. Quarterly cash dividends are typically paid in March, June, September and December. We paid $436 million in cash dividends during the two quarters ended June 30, 2023. We currently expect to continue paying and increasing the rates of cash dividends in the near future, but we can give no assurances concerning payment of future dividends or future dividend increases. The annual declaration of dividends by our Board of Directors 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.
Material Cash Requirements and Commercial Commitments
The amounts disclosed in our Fiscal 2022 Form 10-K include our material cash requirements and commercial commitments. Except for the $2.25 billion in borrowings under Term Loan 2025, the level of indebtedness under our CP Program and the establishment of our 2023 Credit Facility, compared to amounts disclosed in our Fiscal 2022 Form 10-K, there were no material changes to our material cash requirements from contractual cash obligations to repay debt, to purchase goods and services or to make payments under operating leases or our commercial commitments; or in our contingent liabilities on outstanding surety bonds, standby letters of credit agreements or other arrangements with financial institutions and customers primarily relating to the guarantee of future performance on certain contracts to provide products and services to customers or to obtain insurance policies with our insurance carriers as disclosed in our Fiscal 2022 Form 10-K. Further information about our Credit Agreements and CP Program can be found in “Capital Structure and Resources” in this MD&A and Note H: Debt and Credit Arrangements in the Notes.
There can be no assurance that our business will continue to generate cash flows at current or expected levels or that the cost or availability of future borrowings, if any, under our CP Program, credit facilities, term loan 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 CP Program, our credit facilities or term loan 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 affecting the defense, government and other markets we serve and to general economic, political, financial, competitive, legislative and regulatory factors beyond our control.

There have been no material changes to the critical accounting estimates disclosed in “Critical Accounting Estimates” in Part II: Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Fiscal 2022 Form 10-K, except, as set forth below.
Goodwill
We test our goodwill for impairment annually as of the first day of our fourth fiscal quarter, or under certain circumstances, more frequently, such as when events or circumstances indicate there may be impairment or when we reorganize our reporting structure such that the composition of one or more of our reporting units is affected.
_____________________________________________________________________

Fiscal 2023 Impairment Tests. Effective December 31, 2022, we adjusted our reporting to better align our businesses and transferred our ADG business (a reporting unit) from our IMS segment to our SAS segment (also a reporting unit). In connection with the realignment, we reduced our reporting units from nine to eight as the ADG reporting unit and all $327 million of associated goodwill was absorbed by our existing SAS reporting unit given the economic similarities of the two reporting units. Immediately before the realignment, we performed a qualitative impairment assessment over our SAS reporting unit and a quantitative impairment assessment over our ADG reporting unit. Immediately after the realignment, we performed a quantitative impairment assessment over the SAS reporting unit. We prepared estimates of the fair value of our pre-realignment ADG reporting unit and post-realignment SAS reporting unit based on a combination of market-based valuation techniques, utilizing quoted market prices, comparable publicly reported transactions and an income-based valuation technique using projected discounted cash flows. These assessments indicated no impairment existed either before or after the realignment.
TDL Acquisition Goodwill. In connection with the January 3, 2023 acquisition of TDL, we recorded $1.117 billion of goodwill in our Broadband reporting unit within our CS segment.
ADG At-Risk Goodwill. As of December 31, 2022, prior to the business realignment, our ADG reporting unit had goodwill of $327 million and approximately 8% clearance. As noted above, ADG and all associated goodwill was absorbed by our existing SAS reporting unit and no impairment existed either before or after the realignment.
See Note B: Acquisitions, Divestitures and Asset Sales and Note G: Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets in the Notes for additional information.
Business Combinations
We follow the acquisition method of accounting to record identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed and noncontrolling interests recognized in connection with acquired businesses at their estimated fair value as of the date of acquisition.
Identifiable intangible assets from business combinations are recognized at their estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition and consist of customer relationships and developed technology. Determination of the estimated fair value of identifiable intangible assets requires judgment. The fair value of intangible assets is estimated using the relief from royalty method for the acquired developed technology and the multi-period excess earnings method for the acquired customer relationships. Both of these fair value methods are income-based valuation approaches, which require judgment to estimate appropriate discount rates, royalty rates related to the developed technology intangible assets, revenue growth attributable to the intangible assets and remaining useful lives. Finite-lived identifiable intangible assets are amortized to expense over their useful lives, generally ranging from two to seventeen years. The fair value of identifiable intangible assets acquired in connection with TDL was $752 million.
See Note B: Acquisitions, Divestitures and Asset Sales and Note G: Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets in the Notes for additional information.
Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

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 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 or litigation; environmental remediation cost estimates; the potential level of share repurchases, dividends or pension contributions; potential acquisitions or divestitures; the integration of our acquisitions; the value of contract awards and programs; expected revenue; 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; 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,” “could,” “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. Factors that might cause our results to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by these forward-looking statements, from our current expectations or projections or from our historical results include, but are not limited to, those discussed in Part I: Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Fiscal 2022 Form 10-K and in Part II. Item 1A. Risk Factors of this Report. All forward-looking statements are qualified by, and should be read in conjunction with, those risk factors. Forward-looking statements are made in reliance on the safe harbor provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), and 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, whether as a result of new information, future events or developments or otherwise, after the date of filing of this Report or, in the case of any document incorporated by reference, the date of that document.
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. Other factors besides those listed here also could adversely affect us. See Part I: Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Fiscal 2022 Form 10-K and Part II. Item 1A. Risk Factors of this Report for more information regarding factors that might cause our results to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in this Report.
We depend on U.S. Government customers for a significant portion of our revenue, and 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.
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 or sustained period of increased inflation.
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 a future breach of the debt ceiling, could have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and equity.
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 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 derive a significant portion of our revenue from international operations and are subject to the risks of doing business internationally.
Disputes with our subcontractors or key suppliers, or their inability to perform or timely deliver our components, parts or services, could cause our products and/or services to be produced or delivered in an untimely or unsatisfactory manner.
We must attract and retain key employees, and any failure to do so could seriously harm us.
_____________________________________________________________________
35


We could be negatively impacted by a security breach, through cyber-attack, cyber intrusion, insider threats or otherwise, or other significant disruption of our information technology 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 and services and technologies that achieve market acceptance in our current and future markets.
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 condition and results of operations.
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.
Market conditions or volatility could impact our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
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 or additional tax exposures may have an adverse effect on our results of operations and cash flows.
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.
Unforeseen environmental issues, including regulations related to GHG emissions or change in customer sentiment related to environmental sustainability, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and equity.
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.
We are subject to risks relating to the pending acquisition of AJRD, and acquisition of AJRD cannot be guaranteed to close in the expected time frame or at all.
Challenges arising from the expanded operations from the acquisition of TDL and the pending acquisition of AJRD may affect our future results.
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.
ITEM 3.QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
In the normal course of business, we are exposed to the risks associated with foreign currency exchange rates, changes in interest rates and market return fluctuations on our defined benefit plans. There were no material changes during the two quarters ended June 30, 2023, with respect to the information appearing in Part II: Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk in our Fiscal 2022 Form 10-K.

ITEM 4.CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures 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 and accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, as of June 30, 2023, we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our CEO and our CFO, and have concluded that as of June 30, 2023 our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Changes in Internal Control
The TDL acquisition is being integrated into the existing CS segment systems and processes from an internal control over financial reporting (“ICFR”) perspective. Other than with respect to the TDL acquisition, there have been no changes in our ICFR during the quarter ended June 30, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
