L3Harris Technologies Reports Strong Second Quarter 2025 Results, Increases 2025 Guidance
MELBOURNE, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--L3Harris Technologies (NYSE: LHX) reported second quarter 2025 diluted EPS of $2.44 on second quarter 2025 revenue of $5.4 billion. Second quarter 2025 non-GAAP diluted EPS was $2.78. Reconciliations of non-GAAP results are detailed in tables beginning on page 11. 'We delivered impressive second-quarter results, led by a record book-to-bill of 1.5x, solid organic growth, and year-over-year adjusted segment operating margin expansion for the seventh consecutive quarter. This marks a clear inflection point, with our strongest top-line growth in six quarters and meaningful progress towards our 2026 Financial Framework. Our Trusted Disruptor strategy continues to drive differentiated, mission-critical solutions that meet our customers' evolving needs while creating value for shareholders,' said Christopher E. Kubasik, Chair and CEO. Kubasik added, 'Defense is entering a generational investment cycle, as U.S. and allied budgets grow rapidly. Demand is accelerating, and our portfolio is aligned with key growth areas – Golden Dome, space, missiles, shipbuilding, autonomy, and resilient communications. With the flexibility of our business-model agnostic approach – able to win as a prime, sub, or merchant supplier – a focused national security portfolio, and competitive momentum from LHX NeXt, we're confident in our path to sustained profitable growth and long-term value creation.' ___ *Organic revenue, adjusted segment operating margin and non-GAAP diluted EPS are non-GAAP financial measures defined on page 16.

See Non-GAAP Financial Measures on page 7 for more information. 1 2024 segment financial results recast to reflect strategic realignment of the Fuzing and Ordnance Systems (FOS) business from Integrated Mission Systems to Aerojet Rocketdyne, effective in 2025. See Table 9 - 2024 Segment Recast in our EX-99.1 Earnings Release for first quarter 2025. Expand Revenue: Second quarter revenue increased 2%, 6% organically, reflecting growth across all segments, primarily from higher volumes, new program ramps and increased international demand. Operating Margin: GAAP Operating Margin: Second quarter increased 150 bps to 10.5% primarily driven by lower unallocated corporate expenses, including lower LHX NeXt implementation costs, amortization of acquisition-related intangibles and the absence of business divestiture-related losses and impairment of goodwill that impacted 2024. Adjusted Segment Operating Margin: Second quarter expanded 30 bps to 15.9% primarily driven by monetization of legacy end-of-life assets, aligned with our transformation and value creation priorities, and LHX NeXt driven cost saving across all segments, partially offset by impacts from higher margin Commercial Aviation Solutions (CAS) divestiture. Diluted EPS: GAAP Diluted EPS: Second quarter increased 27% to $2.44 driven by higher operating income and lower interest expense from decreased average outstanding short-term debt balances during second quarter 2025, partially offset by a higher effective tax rate. Non-GAAP Diluted EPS and Pension Adjusted Non-GAAP Diluted EPS: Second quarter increased 16% to $2.78 and 22% to $2.42, respectively, from higher adjusted segment operating income and lower interest expense from decreased average outstanding short-term debt balances during second quarter 2025, partially offset by a higher effective tax rate. Cash Flow: Cash From Operations: Second quarter decreased 15% to $640 million driven by working capital timing and cash used for settlement of a longstanding legal matter, partially offset by growth in operating income. Adjusted Free Cash Flow: Second quarter decreased 20% to $574 million, driven by working capital timing, cash used for settlement of a longstanding legal matter, partially offset by growth in operating income and lower capital expenditures.

Operating Margin: Second quarter operating margin was flat, reflecting higher volume and LHX NeXt driven cost savings, partially offset by the absence of the favorable impact of legal settlements that impacted 2024.

Excluding the divestiture impact, organic revenue increased 6% primarily due to ISR classified program ramp. Operating Margin: Second quarter operating margin increased 120 bps to 13.2% primarily due to monetization of legacy end-of-life assets, aligned with our transformation and value creation priorities, partially offset by an unfavorable EAC adjustment from the resolution of a contract matter related to lower utilization on the Canadian Maritime Helicopter Program as it nears completion and impact from divestiture of our CAS business. *Organic revenue is a non-GAAP financial measure defined on page 16.

Excluding the divestiture impact, organic revenue increased 7%, primarily from increased FAA volume in our Mission Networks business and higher volume and improved program performance in our Airborne Combat Systems business, partially offset by lower volumes in our Space Systems and Intel and Cyber businesses associated with program timing. Operating Margin: Second quarter operating margin decreased 30 bps to 12.3% primarily from unfavorable mix, partially offset by monetization of legacy end-of-life assets aligned with our transformation and value creation priorities, improved program performance and LHX NeXt driven cost savings.

Excluding the divestiture impact, organic revenue increased 12% from increased production volume across key missile and munitions programs and new program ramp. Operating Margin: Second quarter operating margin increased 50 bps to 13.3%, primarily due to improved performance driven by LHX NeXt driven cost savings and a favorable contract resolution. *Organic revenue is a non-GAAP financial measure defined on page 16. Expand 2025 NON-GAAP EPS GUIDANCE BRIDGE Our updated 2025 non-GAAP diluted EPS guidance reflects an increase of 200 to 300 basis points to the effective tax rate, resulting in a headwind of ~$0.30 at the midpoint. This impact is more than offset by strong first-half performance and increased guidance, driving a net increase of $0.10 to our full-year non-GAAP diluted EPS guidance. 2025 Guidance Non-GAAP diluted EPS (Prior) $10.30 - $10.50 H1 2025 performance and guidance update ~0.40 Non-GAAP EPS (Before tax reform impact) $10.70 - $10.90 Impact of tax reform ~(0.30) Non-GAAP diluted EPS (New)1 $10.40 - $10.60 Expand SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION 2025 Other Information Current Prior FAS/CAS operating adjustment ~$15 million ~$15 million Non-service FAS pension income ~$285 million ~$270 million Net interest expense ~$600 million ~$600 million Effective tax rate on non-GAAP income1 13.5% - 14.5% 11.0% - 12.0% Weighted-average diluted shares ~188 188 - 189 Capital expenditures ~2% revenue ~2% revenue 1Non-GAAP diluted EPS and effective tax rate on non-GAAP income are non-GAAP financial measures defined on page 16.

Expand Forward-Looking Statements This earnings release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of federal securities laws made in reliance on the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Examples include, but are not limited to: share repurchases; divestiture and realignment impacts; 2025 guidance; budget increases; anticipated LHX NeXt initiative costs and savings; supplemental information for 2025; projection of other financial items; and assumptions underlying any of the foregoing. Investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which reflect management's current expectations, estimates, projections, assumptions and information currently available to management, and are not guarantees of future performance or actual results. Important risks that could cause our results to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by these forward-looking statements or from our historical results include, but are not limited to, risks arising from: competitive markets; U.S. Government spending priorities; changes in contract mix; inflation; tariffs and potential trade disputes; unilateral contract action by the U.S. Government; uncertain economic conditions; future geo-political events; supply chain disruptions; impacts of LHX NeXt; indebtedness; defined benefit plan liabilities and returns; interest rates and other market factors; changes in effective tax rate or additional tax exposures; pending and contemplated divestitures. These and other important risks that could impact forward-looking statements are described more fully in the "Risk Factors" in our Form 10-K for fiscal 2024 and our Form 10-Q for Q1 2025 filed with the SEC. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or any person acting on our behalf are qualified by the cautionary statements in this section, and we have no duty to and 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. Non-GAAP Financial Measures Management believes the adjustments to non-GAAP Financial Measures ("NGFMs") in the tables beginning on page 13 are useful to investors because the excluded costs do not reflect our ongoing operating performance. Such adjustments, considered together with the unadjusted GAAP financial measures, provide information that management believes is useful to investors to understand period-over-period operating results separate from items that management believes may disproportionately impact operating results in any particular period; however there is no guarantee that items excluded from NGFMs will not reoccur in future periods. Management also believes that NGFMs enhance the ability of investors to analyze business trends, understand performance and evaluate our initiatives to drive improved financial performance. Management utilizes NGFMs to guide forecasting and long-term planning and for compensation purposes. NGFMs should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of forward-looking NGFMs to GAAP is not available without unreasonable effort because of inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying comparable GAAP measures and applicable adjustments and other amounts necessary for a reconciliation because of potentially high variability, complexity and low visibility of applicable adjustments and other unusual amounts that could disproportionately impact future GAAP results, such as the impact of defined benefit plan performance, LHX NeXt, portfolio shaping activities, and the extent of tax deductibility.

CAMDEN, Ark., July 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Following a meeting with Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders and AEDC leadership at the 2025 Paris Air Show, L3Harris Technologies (NYSE: LHX) announced plans to build more than 20 new manufacturing facilities in Calhoun County, Arkansas, that will produce large solid rocket motors. The new campus will create 50 new jobs over two years, adding to L3Harris' ~1,300-person workforce in Camden. 'Arkansas is a great place for L3Harris to fortify the domestic solid rocket motor industrial base with its dedicated workforce and strong state and local partnerships,' said Christopher E. Kubasik, Chair and CEO, L3Harris. 'Large solid rocket motors are essential to our nation's missile and strategic defense, and as the Trusted Disruptor, we are strengthening our ability to produce these systems rapidly and at scale, which is essential for current demand and the Golden Dome missile defense shield.' Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders and officials from the Arkansas Department of Commerce and Arkansas Economic Development Commission (AEDC) met with L3Harris executives at the Paris Air Show to secure this investment. The new manufacturing facilities will add to L3Harris' existing site in south Arkansas. 'After a great meeting with the CEO of L3Harris, Chris Kubasik, at the Paris Air Show last month and highlighting all that Arkansas has to offer, we are proud to welcome their new manufacturing facilities to South Arkansas, and excited they are helping to position Arkansas as the arsenal of democracy,' said Governor Sanders. 'Our state ranks best in the nation for cost-of-living, number one for inbound movers, and topped the country in economic growth for two quarters in a row – so it's no surprise that major companies like L3Harris continue to invest in our state and drive our number one export industry, aerospace and defense. Thank you, Chris and L3Harris, for choosing to make Arkansas home.' L3Harris is investing nearly half a billion dollars across its major production sites to support solid rocket motor production, including $193 million to be spent in Arkansas, with Arkansas businesses, to support the construction and activation of these new Camden LSRM facilities. Construction of more than 20 buildings in Calhoun County will add more than 130,000 square feet of manufacturing and office space supporting production of large solid rocket motors that can power missile defense targets, interceptors and hypersonic vehicles. 'L3Harris is a major part of the aerospace and defense industry in Arkansas, and we are excited to see the company's continued growth in our state,' said Clint O'Neal, executive director of the Arkansas Economic Development Commission. 'With this capital investment, L3Harris is advancing our national security and creating new jobs for Arkansans that will strengthen our state's economy and create new opportunities in south Arkansas.' L3Harris' new LSRM production facilities are expected to provide a six-fold increase in manufacturing capacity. L3Harris' Camden, Arkansas, site is the company's 'Center of Excellence for Solid Rocket Motor production.' Approximately 1,300 Camden employees manufacture more than 100,000 solid rocket motors a year, from those that fit in the palm of your hand to the size of an SUV. In February, L3Harris announced it began construction on four new solid rocket motor production facilities in Camden. That expansion effort is part of a cooperative agreement between the Defense Department's Defense Production Act Title III program and L3Harris to increase domestic rocket propulsion manufacturing capacity. 'We are proud that L3Harris has committed to this investment in their facilities in Calhoun County,' said Calhoun County Judge Floyd Nutt. 'South Arkansas has a long history in aerospace and defense manufacturing, and this project will build on that history. Calhoun County provides a strong workforce and great business environment for L3Harris' continued growth.' 'The Calhoun and Ouachita County area is a hub for the aerospace and defense industry in Arkansas and the United States,' said Ouachita Partnership for Economic Development Executive Director James Lee Silliman.
