NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE A: BASIS OF PRESENTATION
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. Intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated.
The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared 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.
Our fiscal year is based on a 52- or 53-week period ending on the Friday nearest December 31. The fiscal quarters ended October 3, 2025 (“third quarter 2025”) and September 27, 2024 (“third quarter 2024”) include 14 and 13 weeks, respectively. The year-to-date periods ended October 3, 2025 (“year to date 2025”) and September 27, 2024 (“year to date 2024”) both include 39 weeks.
Description of Business Segments
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 four reportable segments:
Communication Systems (“CS”): Software defined communication products and waveforms for domestic and international customers; broadband communications; integrated vision solutions; and public safety radios, system applications and equipment; and
Integrated Mission Systems (“IMS”): Multi-mission intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (“ISR”) systems; passive sensing and targeting; electronic attack platforms; autonomy; power and communications; networks; and Commercial Aviation Solutions (“CAS disposal group”), which includes aviation products and pilot training operations and was divested on March 28, 2025; and
Space & Airborne Systems (“SAS”): Satellites and space payloads, sensors and full-mission solutions; classified intelligence and cyber; airborne combat systems; and mission networks for air traffic management operations; and
Aerojet Rocketdyne (“AR”): Missile solutions with propulsion technologies for strategic defense, missile defense, hypersonic and tactical systems and fuzing; and space propulsion and power systems for national security and space exploration missions.
Business realignment. Effective in first quarter 2025, we realigned our fuzing and ordnance (“FOS”) business from our IMS segment to our AR segment. Information on the reallocation of goodwill in connection with the realignment can be found under the “Reallocation of Goodwill in Business Realignment” heading in Note E: Goodwill and Intangible Assets in our Form 10-Q for first quarter 2025, which information is incorporated herein by reference.
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.
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.

NOTE B: EARNINGS PER SHARE (“EPS”)
EPS is calculated as net income attributable to common shareholders divided by our weighted-average number of basic or diluted common shares outstanding. Potential dilutive common shares primarily consist of employee stock options, restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and performance share units (“PSUs”).
The weighted-average number of shares outstanding used to compute basic and diluted EPS are as follows:

NOTE C: CONTRACT ASSETS AND CONTRACT LIABILITIES
Contract assets mainly represent 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. Contract assets become receivables as 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 defer payment of a portion of the contract price until contract completion. Contract liabilities include advance payments and billings in excess of revenue recognized, including deferred revenue. Contract assets and liabilities are reported on a contract-by-contract basis at the end of each reporting period.
Contract assets and contract liabilities are summarized below:

NOTE F: INCOME TAXES
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was enacted, introducing amendments to the U.S. federal income tax code, including permanent reinstatement of immediate expensing for domestic research expenditures, a reduction in the benefit of the research and development (“R&D”) credit, restoration of full expensing for qualified machinery, equipment and other short-lived assets, and several modifications to existing international tax provisions. Certain provisions are effective for 2025, the effects of which have been recognized in third quarter 2025 and are reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and these Notes. Certain other provisions are effective in future fiscal years.

Effective tax rate (“ETR”) | % | % | % | % | |||||||||||||||||||
ETR for all periods benefited from favorable impacts of R&D credits, tax deductions for foreign derived intangible income (“FDII”) and adjustments recognized upon finalization of our tax returns. Both year to date 2025 and 2024 ETR also benefited from favorable resolution of audit uncertainties.
The increase in ETR for third quarter 2025 compared with third quarter 2024 was primarily due to the enactment of OBBBA and the CAS disposal group divestiture, representing unfavorable impacts of 7.4 % and 3.7 %, respectively.
The increase in ETR for year to date 2025 compared with year to date 2024 was primarily due to the enactment of OBBBA, the CAS disposal group divestiture, and a state legislative change that required us to establish a valuation allowance on state R&D credit carryforwards, representing unfavorable impacts of 3.9 %, 3.5 % and 2.1 %, respectively.

(1)See Note 8: Debt and Credit Arrangements in our Fiscal 2024 Form 10-K for information on our fixed-rate debt.
(2)Included in “Other current liabilities” line item in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Repayments. On April 27, 2025, we repaid the entire outstanding $600 million of our 3.832 % notes, due April 27, 2025 (“3.832 % 2025 Notes”) with proceeds from the issuance and sale of $600 million 5.50 % notes, due August 15, 2054 (“5.50 % 2054 Notes”) in fiscal 2024.
Fair Value. As of October 3, 2025 and January 3, 2025, the estimated fair value of long-term debt was $11.3 billion and $11.5 billion, respectively. These values were estimated using a market approach based on quoted market prices for our debt in the secondary market and would be classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. See Note K: Fair Value Measurements in these Notes for further information on fair value.
Commercial Paper Program
Under our commercial paper program (“CP Program”), we may issue unsecured commercial paper notes up to a maximum aggregate amount of $3.0 billion. The CP Program is supported by amounts available under our credit agreements, discussed below.
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 rank at least pari passu with all other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness.
As of October 3, 2025 and January 3, 2025, we had $725 million and $515 million in outstanding notes under our CP Program, respectively, which is included in the “Short-term debt” line item in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The outstanding notes under our CP Program had a weighted-average interest rate of 4.35 % and 4.70 % as of October 3, 2025 and January 3, 2025, respectively.
Credit Agreements
Five-Year Credit Facility. On February 18, 2025, we established a new $2.5 billion, five-year senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the “2025 Five-Year Credit Facility”) by entering into a Revolving Credit Agreement (“2025 Five-Year Credit Agreement”) maturing on February 18, 2030 with a syndicate of lenders. The 2025 Five-Year Credit Facility replaced the prior $2.0 billion, five-year senior unsecured revolving credit facility established under the Revolving Credit Agreement, dated July 29, 2022 (“2022 Credit Agreement”), and provides for revolving loans, swingline loans and letters of credit, with a sub-limit of $200 million for swingline loans and a sub-limit of $350 million for letters of credit, with the option to request an increase of the maximum amount of commitments up to $3.5 billion.
At our election, borrowings in U.S. Dollars under the 2025 Five-Year Credit Agreement will bear interest at the sum of the secured overnight funding rate (“SOFR”) or the Base Rate (as defined in the 2025 Five-Year Credit Agreement), plus an applicable margin that varies based on the ratings of our senior unsecured long-term debt securities (“Senior Debt Ratings”). In addition to interest payable on the principal amount of indebtedness outstanding, we are required to pay a quarterly unused commitment fee and letter of credit fees based on our Senior Debt Ratings.
364-Day Credit Facility. On February 18, 2025, we established a new $500 million 364-day senior unsecured revolving credit facility (“2025 364-Day Credit Facility”) by entering into a 364-day Credit Agreement (“2025 364-Day Credit Agreement”) maturing no later than February 17, 2026 with a syndicate of lenders. The 2025 364-Day Credit Agreement replaced the prior $1.5 billion 364-day credit agreement (“2024 Credit Agreement”), which matured on January 24, 2025.

NOTE K: FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
We measure certain assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis utilizing a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes inputs based on market observability:
•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 or inactive markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in inactive markets; and inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data.
•Level 3 — Unobservable inputs with little or no market activity that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities and reflect our assumptions about market participants’ pricing, using the best available information.
We utilize observable inputs whenever available. In certain instances, fair value is estimated using quoted market prices from external pricing services. We assess the methodologies of these services to ensure valuations reflect fair value, including net asset value (“NAV”). The NAV reported by an asset manager may be adjusted when sufficient evidence indicates NAV is not representative of fair value.
Deferred Compensation Plans
We sponsor certain non-qualified deferred compensation plans which are measured at fair value on a recurring basis in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Deferred compensation plan assets represent diversified assets held in rabbi trusts, which include marketable equity and fixed income securities (Level 1) and corporate-owned life insurance (”COLI”) contracts measured at NAV. Liabilities represent participant balances in marketable equity securities (Level 1) and common/collective trusts (“CCTs”) and guaranteed investment contracts (“GICs”) measured at NAV based on participant designed investment options.

NOTE L: 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 in line with those expectations. Due to the long-term nature of many of these contracts, developing the estimated total cost at completion and total transaction price 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. If we successfully retire risks associated with the technical, schedule and cost aspects of a contract, we may lower our estimated total cost at completion commensurate with the retirement of these risks. Conversely, there are many reasons estimated contract costs can increase, including: (i) supply chain disruptions, inflation and labor issues; (ii) design or other development challenges; and (iii) program execution challenges (including technical schedule or quality issues and other performance concerns). Additionally, as the contract progresses, our estimates of total transaction price may increase or decrease if, for example, we receive incentive or award fees that are higher or lower than expected.

NOTE M: CONTRACTUAL BACKLOG
Contractual 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. Contractual backlog comprises both funded backlog (i.e., firm orders for which funding is authorized and appropriated) and unfunded backlog (i.e., orders for which funds have not been appropriated and/or incrementally funded). Contractual backlog excludes unexercised contract options and potential orders under ordering-type contracts, such as indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity contracts.
As of October 3, 2025, our contractual backlog was $36.3 billion. We expect to recognize approximately 45 % of our contractual backlog as revenue over the next twelve months and 65 % as revenue over the next twenty-four months , with the remainder to be recognized thereafter.

NOTE N: DIVESTITURES
CAS Disposal Group
On March 28, 2025, we completed the sale of our CAS disposal group, for cash proceeds, net of cash divested, of $831 million. The CAS disposal group, which provided integrated aircraft avionics, pilot training and data analytics services for the commercial aviation industry, was reported in our IMS segment through the date of sale. Income before income taxes attributable to L3Harris was $21 million for year to date 2025 and $31 million and $87 million for third quarter and year to date 2024, respectively.
The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities included in the CAS disposal group divestiture were as follows:

In connection with the divestiture, we derecognized noncontrolling interest and accumulated other comprehensive income of $63 6 17 million pre-tax loss, inclusive of amounts attributable to noncontrolling interest. The pre-tax loss, which is included in the “General and administrative expenses” line item in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for year to date 2025, is incremental to the previously recorded CAS disposal group losses recognized in fiscal 2024 and 2023. The final cumulative loss on sale remains subject to certain purchase price adjustments, including final working capital settlement, as set forth in the agreement, and will be finalized in fiscal 2025.
For additional information on the CAS disposal group, including the cumulative pre-tax losses recognized and carrying amounts of assets and liabilities classified as held for sale as of January 3, 2025, see Note 13: Acquisitions and Divestitures in our Fiscal 2024 Form 10-K.

NOTE P: LEGAL PROCEEDINGS AND CONTINGENCIES
In the 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 to 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; 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 arbitration awards. We record accruals for losses related to those matters against us that we consider to be probable and that can be reasonably estimated. Gain contingencies, if any, are recognized when they are realized and legal costs generally are expensed when incurred. As of October 3, 2025, our accrual for the potential resolution of lawsuits, claims or proceedings that we consider probable of being decided unfavorably to us was not material. We cannot at this time estimate the reasonably possible loss or range of loss in excess of our accrual due to the inherent uncertainties and speculative nature of contested proceedings. Although it is not feasible to predict the outcome of these matters with certainty, 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 as of October 3, 2025 were 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, including sites owned by us and third-party 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 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 us or companies we acquired being identified as a potentially responsible party (“PRP”) under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (commonly known as the “Superfund Act”), the Resource Conservation Recovery Act and/or equivalent state and international laws, and in some instances, our liability and proportionate share of costs that may be shared among other PRPs have not been determined largely due to uncertainties as to the nature and extent of site conditions and our involvement.
Based on an assessment of relevant factors, we estimated that our liability under applicable environmental statutes and regulations for identified sites was $667 million and $637 million as of October 3, 2025 and January 3, 2025, respectively. The current and non-current portions of our estimated environmental liability are included in the “Other current liabilities” and “Other non-current liabilities” line items, respectively, in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Some of these environmental costs are recoverable from the U.S. Government. We consider the recovery probable based on U.S. Government contracting regulations and, accordingly, record an asset for the recoverable portion of these reserves which was $490 million and $462 million, as of October 3, 2025 and January 3, 2025, respectively. The current and non-current portions of the recoverable costs are included in the “Other current assets” and “Other non-current assets” line items, respectively, in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of L3Harris Technologies, Inc.
Results of Review of Interim Financial Statements
We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of L3Harris Technologies, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of October 3, 2025, the related condensed consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income and equity for the quarter and three quarters ended October 3, 2025 and September 27, 2024, the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the three quarters ended October 3, 2025 and September 27, 2024, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “condensed consolidated interim financial statements”). Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”), the consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of January 3, 2025, 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 14, 2025, we expressed an unqualified audit opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of January 3, 2025, 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.

Our products, systems and services have defense and civil government applications, as well as commercial applications. 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 75% for year to date 2025.
U.S. and International Budget Environment
The U.S. and international budget environments are evolving rapidly within a dynamic geopolitical context, influenced by the new administration and Congress, heightened geopolitical tensions, global security concerns, inflationary pressures, and overall macroeconomic conditions.
On March 15, 2025, the President signed into law a full-year Continuing Resolution (“CR”) for GFY 2025, funding the government through September 30, 2025, with $893 billion for defense funding, including $851 billion for the U.S. Department of War (“DoW”). This was in line with the 1% increase permitted by the caps under the Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023 for GFY 2025. Notably, the CR provided funding at the account level, not the program level, allowing federal agencies more discretion with how they prioritized funding for programs.
On May 2, 2025, the White House released a preliminary GFY 2026 budget that included a flat national defense topline of $893 billion (including $849 billion for DoW) and included an additional $119 billion from reconciliation funding in 2026 for a total of approximately $1 trillion. The administration requested $557 billion for non-defense funding, down from $721 billion in GFY 2025, resulting in material funding declines for some agencies, including a $6 billion cut to NASA.
On July 4, 2025, the President signed Congress’ reconciliation package which included $155 billion for national defense spending to fund DoW priorities, including priorities closely aligned with L3Harris interests and opportunities, such as Golden Dome, munitions, and shipbuilding, $165 billion for Department of Homeland Security priorities, $12.5 billion for the Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”) for air traffic control modernization efforts and $10 billion for NASA. The administration has stated that it expects departments and agencies will be able to access significant amounts of this additional funding in GFY 2026, specifically noting the expectation that the DoW will access $113 billion in GFY 2026. The reconciliation package also raises the debt ceiling by $5 trillion and enacts key changes to the federal tax code, further discussed under the “U.S. Federal Tax Reform” heading below.
The National Defense Authorization Act (“NDAA”) has passed both the House and Senate, but differences must be negotiated including a compromise on the DoW topline. The NDAA provides authorization of appropriations for the DoW, nuclear weapons programs of the Department of Energy, and other defense-related activities. In addition to serving as an authorization of appropriations, the NDAA establishes defense policies and restrictions, and addresses organizational administrative matters related to the DoW. In addition, the House passed the Defense Appropriations bill on July 18, 2025, but the Senate has yet to pass the measure. We look forward to Congress’ completion of both measures to ensure timely funding and ensure our programs and priorities are authorized and fully funded.
On October 1, 2025, after Congress failed to reach an agreement on a short-term spending deal or full-year appropriation, the federal government entered a shutdown. The defense industry, including our company, could be impacted if the shutdown becomes prolonged, stemming from slow downs in incremental funding on existing contracts or delays in government payments on invoices. With most civilian government employees furloughed, many critical operations will cease, including article acceptance and new contract awards – not just delaying awards

that would have been accepted or issued, respectively, during this period, but causing a backlog upon the resumption of normal operations. In some cases, the government could also issue “stop work” orders to cease certain operations. In addition, certain federal administrative functions, such as processing tax returns and issuance of tax refunds, have been suspended, which may delay expected cash inflows. Finally, international business operations are not protected from a U.S. Government shutdown – export notifications and Foreign Military Sales processes will cease, delaying ongoing activities and also resulting in a backlog upon the government’s reopening. These factors could have significant near- and long-term consequences for our company, our employees, our suppliers and the defense industry, including delayed cash collections and could have a material adverse effect on results of operations and cash flows.
Internationally, almost all NATO allies have committed to spend 5% of GDP annually over the next decade, with 3.5% on core defense articles and another 1.5% on critical infrastructure, cyber and other key areas.
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 2024 Form 10-K.
U.S. Federal Tax Reform
In third quarter 2025, OBBBA was enacted, introducing amendments to the U.S. federal income tax code, including permanent reinstatement of immediate expensing for domestic research expenditures, a reduction in the benefit of the R&D credit, restoration of full expensing for qualified machinery, equipment and other short-lived assets, and several modifications to existing international tax provisions. Certain provisions are effective for 2025, the effects of which have been recognized in third quarter 2025 and are reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and these Notes. Certain other provisions are effective in future fiscal years.
Economic Environment
The ongoing uncertainty related to the impacts of inflation, as well as the interest rate environment and ongoing federal deficits could in the future impact U.S. Government spending priorities for our products and services. For a discussion of inflation-related risks, see Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Fiscal 2024 Form 10-K.
We continue to monitor and evaluate the potential impact of current and proposed changes in trade policies and in particular, tariffs. In response to enacted tariffs, we are seeking exemptions, evaluating alternative sources of materials and subcontracted components, as well as engaging in supplier negotiations to help manage cost impacts and are considering price adjustments and other strategies to support profitability. Based on current conditions, we do not expect a material impact on our 2025 results, but will continue to monitor developments and assess potential implications as trade policies evolve.
For a discussion of trade policy and macroeconomic related risks, see Part II. Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Form 10-Q for first quarter 2025, which information is incorporated herein by reference, and Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Fiscal 2024 Form 10-K.

See the “Business Segment Results of Operations” discussion below in this MD&A for further information.
Gross Margin
Third Quarter Comparison. Gross margin increased $75 million, primarily due to a $27 million favorable change in net EAC adjustments and higher volumes, primarily in our AR and CS segments. Such increases were partially offset by a $67 million decrease reflecting the absence of the CAS disposal group as a result of the March 2025 divestiture.
Year to Date Comparison. Gross margin increased $52 million primarily due to higher volumes, primarily in our AR and CS segments, partially offset by a $134 million decrease reflecting the absence of the CAS disposal group as a result of the March 2025 divestiture and $33 million unfavorable change in net EAC adjustments.

_______________
(1)Includes 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 Note O: Business Segment Information in the Notes and the “Operating Environment, Strategic Priorities and Key Performance Measures” section in the MD&A in our Fiscal 2024 Form 10-K for more detail on our LHX NeXt initiative and implementation costs.
(2)Includes other segment G&A expenses, primarily payroll and benefits, outside services, facilities, insurance, gains recognized from asset sales, and unallocated corporate items.
Third Quarter Comparison. G&A expenses decreased $51 million, or 6%, primarily due to the absence of a $29 million business divestiture-related loss associated with the then pending CAS disposal group divestiture in third quarter 2024, decreases in amortization of intangibles, LHX NeXt implementation costs, and merger, acquisition, and divestiture-related expenses, and an increase in gains recognized in connection with the monetization of certain legacy end-of-life assets, including recognition of a $19 million gain in our SAS segment in 2025. Such impacts were partially offset by a $17 million increase in selling and marketing expenses and an increase in other G&A expenses.
Year to Date Comparison. G&A expenses decreased $316 million, or 11%, primarily due to lower LHX NeXt implementation costs of $117 million, including lower third-party consulting and employee severance of $67 million and $29 million, respectively, decreases in amortization of intangibles and merger, acquisition and divestiture-related expenses, and an increase in gains recognized in connection with the monetization of certain legacy end-of-life assets, including recognition of a $75 million gain in our IMS segment in 2025, partially offset by an increase in other G&A expenses.
Non-service FAS Pension Income and Other, net
Non-service FAS pension income and other, net decreased $3 million and increased $12 million for third quarter and year to date, respectively, reflecting changes in the non-service cost components of net periodic benefit income under our defined benefit plans, as included in Note H: Retirement Benefits in the Notes, and changes in other non-operating income and expenses, primarily changes in the market value of our rabbi trust assets, as included in Note K: Fair Value Measurements in the Notes.
Interest Expense, net
Interest expense, net decreased $14 million and $60 million for third quarter and year to date, respectively, primarily due to lower average outstanding notes under our CP Program during 2025. See Note G: Debt and Credit Arrangements in the Notes and the “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section below in this MD&A for further information.
Income Taxes
During interim periods, we estimate our global annual ETR and apply that rate to year to date ordinary income in order to compute the year to date income tax provision. Although most items will be considered part of the annual ETR, there are a number of items that are instead required to be recorded in the interim period in which they occur; such as certain changes in uncertain tax positions, the accrual of interest and penalties, changes in tax laws or rates, and other items as prescribed by GAAP. As a result, there may be quarterly fluctuations in our ETR and the results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year or future periods.
_____________________________________________________________________
26
Third Quarter Comparison. Our ETR was 18.5% and 6.0% for third quarter 2025 and 2024, respectively. The increase in ETR for third quarter 2025 was primarily due to the enactment of OBBBA and the CAS disposal group divestiture, representing unfavorable impacts of 7.4% and 3.7%, respectively. Our ETR for both periods benefited from favorable impacts of R&D credits, tax deductions for FDII and adjustments recognized upon finalization of our tax returns.
Year to Date Comparison. Our ETR was 15.7% and 4.9% for year to date 2025 and 2024, respectively. The increase in ETR for year to date 2025 was primarily due to the enactment of OBBBA, the CAS disposal group divestiture, and a state legislative change that required us to establish a valuation allowance on state R&D credit carryforwards, representing unfavorable impacts of 3.9%, 3.5% and 2.1%, respectively. Our ETR for both periods benefited from favorable impacts of R&D credits, favorable resolution of audit uncertainties, tax deductions for FDII and adjustments recognized upon finalization of our tax returns.
Diluted EPS
Diluted EPS increased 17% and 26% for third quarter and year to date, respectively, primarily due to higher net income from the combined effects of reasons noted in the sections above.

_____________________________________________________________________
27
IMS operating income remained consistent and operating margin decreased, primarily due to a $35 million decrease from the CAS disposal group divestiture in first quarter 2025 partially offset by higher volumes and favorable performance.
Year to Date Comparison. IMS revenue was flat primarily due to higher revenues of $236 million in ISR from multiple classified programs ramping, $30 million in Maritime from new program ramp, and $27 million in Targeting and Sensor Systems from higher commercially priced revenue, offset by lower revenue of $296 million from the CAS disposal group divestiture in first quarter 2025.
IMS operating income increased primarily due to a $75 million gain recognized in second quarter 2025 in connection with monetization of legacy end-of-life assets, aligned with our transformation and value creation priorities, favorable mix impact from higher airborne electro-optical sensors volume and LHX NeXt driven cost savings. Such increases were partially offset by a $67 million decrease from the CAS disposal group divestiture in first quarter 2025 and a $25 million unfavorable EAC adjustment in second quarter 2025 from the resolution of a contract matter related to lower utilization on the Canadian Maritime Helicopter Program as it nears completion.

SAS revenue increased primarily due to higher revenues of $103 million in Mission Networks from higher FAA volume and $45 million in Airborne Combat Systems from higher volume, partially offset by lower revenues of $49 million in Intel & Cyber from lower classified program volume.
SAS operating income increased primarily due to a gain of $19 million recognized in connection with the monetization of legacy end-of-life assets aligned with our transformation and value creation priorities, lower net unfavorable EAC adjustments mainly associated with classified development programs in Space Systems and LHX NeXt driven cost savings, partially offset by unfavorable mix.
Year to Date Comparison. SAS revenue increased primarily due to higher revenue of $291 million in Mission Networks from higher FAA volume, partially offset by lower revenues of $154 million in Space Systems from lower volume associated with program timing and the impact of negative EAC adjustments from challenges on certain classified development programs, $70 million in Intel & Cyber from lower classified program volume and $69 million in Airborne Combat Systems, reflecting a $76 million decrease from the May 2024 Antenna disposal group divestiture.
SAS operating income decreased primarily due to $68 million of unfavorable EAC adjustments, from program execution challenges on certain classified development programs in Space Systems, and unfavorable mix, partially offset by gains of $38 million recognized in connection with the monetization of legacy end-of-life assets aligned with our transformation and value creation priorities, and LHX NeXt driven cost savings.

Capital Resources
As of October 3, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of $339 million, of which $293 million was held by our foreign subsidiaries, a significant portion of which we believe can be repatriated to the U.S. with minimal tax cost.
CP Program. As of October 3, 2025, we had $725 million in outstanding notes under our CP Program. Our CP Program serves as a source of short-term financing under which we may issue unsecured commercial paper notes up to a maximum aggregate amount of $3.0 billion, supported by amounts available under our credit facilities, discussed below. From time to time, we use borrowings under the CP Program for general corporate purposes, including funding acquisitions, repaying debt, paying dividends, and repurchasing our common stock. See the “Financing Activities” discussion below in this MD&A for further information about our CP Program.
Credit Facilities. As of October 3, 2025, we had no outstanding borrowings under our credit facilities, had available borrowing capacity of $2.3 billion, net of outstanding notes under our CP Program, and were in compliance with all covenants.
2025 Five-Year Credit Facility. On February 18, 2025, we established a new $2.5 billion, five-year senior unsecured revolving credit facility by entering into the 2025 Five-Year Credit Agreement. The 2025 Five-Year Credit Agreement replaced the prior $2.0 billion 2022 Credit Agreement.
2025 364-Day Credit Facility. On February 18, 2025, we established a new $500 million 364-day senior unsecured revolving credit facility by entering into the 2025 364-Day Credit Agreement. The 2025 364-Day Credit Agreement replaced the prior $1.5 billion 2024 Credit Agreement, which matured on January 24, 2025.
See Note G: Debt and Credit Arrangements in the Notes for further information regarding our credit facilities.

Operating Activities. The $286 million decrease in net cash provided by operating activities for year to date 2025 compared with year to date 2024 was primarily due to $519 million more cash used to fund working capital,
_____________________________________________________________________
30
largely driven by timing of billing and collection activity and cash used for settlement of a longstanding legal matter, partially offset by an increase in net income.
Investing Activities. The $688 million change in net cash provided by investing activities for year to date 2025 compared with net cash used in investing activities for year to date 2024 was primarily due to a $673 million increase in proceeds from sale of businesses, net of cash divested, and a $24 million decrease in capital expenditures. The increase in proceeds from sale of businesses, net of cash divested, reflects the March 2025 CAS disposal group divestiture, partially offset by the May 2024 Antenna disposal group divestiture.
Financing Activities. The $666 million increase in net cash used in financing activities for year to date 2025 compared with year to date 2024 was primarily due to increases in repayments of long-term debt, net of issuances, and cash used to repurchase common stock of $831 million and $486 million, respectively, partially offset by a $634 million decrease in net repayments of commercial paper. Our primary financing activities are further discussed below.
Common Stock Repurchases. On January 28, 2021 and October 21, 2022, we announced that our Board of Directors (“Board”) approved share repurchase authorizations under our repurchase program of $6.0 billion, which was fully utilized in first quarter 2025, and $3.0 billion, respectively. During year to date 2025, we used $998 million of cash to repurchase 4.5 million shares of our common stock under our share repurchase program. As of October 3, 2025, we had $2.4 billion of remaining unused authorization under our repurchase program.
During year to date 2024, we used $512 million of cash to repurchase 2.3 million shares of our common stock under our share repurchase program.
See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” in Part II. Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Fiscal 2024 Form 10-K and Part II. Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds of this Report for further information regarding common stock repurchases.
Long-term debt. During year to date 2025, we repaid the entire outstanding $600 million of our 3.832% 2025 Notes with proceeds from the issuance and sale of the $600 million 5.50% 2054 Notes in fiscal 2024.
During year to date 2024, we closed the issuance and sale of $2.25 billion aggregate principal amount of long-term fixed-rate debt consisting of 5.05% notes, due June 2029, 5.25% notes, due June 2031 and 5.35% notes, due June 2034 and used the proceeds to repay the entire outstanding $2.25 billion, variable rate-term loan facility utilized to finance the fiscal 2023 acquisition of Tactical Data Links. Additionally, we closed the issuance and sale of the $600 million 5.50% 2054 Notes and repaid the $350 million of our 3.950% notes, due May 28, 2024.
As of October 3, 2025, we had $11.0 billion of outstanding long-term debt, net of current portion of $120 million. The current portion primarily consists of the $100 million 7.00% debentures, due January 15, 2026.
CP Program. During year to date 2025, our CP Program had a maximum outstanding balance of $1.8 billion and a daily average outstanding balance of $1.3 billion. During year to date 2024, our CP Program had a maximum outstanding balance of $2.8 billion and daily average outstanding balance of $2.3 billion. While we continue to expect balances under the CP Program to remain elevated as compared to historical norms through fiscal 2025, we expect to utilize cash from operations to lower the outstanding balance by the end of fiscal 2025.
Dividends. On February 28, 2025, we announced that our Board increased the quarterly per share cash dividend rate on our common stock to $1.20 from $1.16, the 24th consecutive annual dividend increase. During year to date 2025 and 2024, we paid $678 million and $665 million in dividends, respectively. See Part II. Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities in our Fiscal 2024 Form 10-K for further information regarding our dividends.
Cash Requirements
Except for the level of indebtedness under our CP Program and the establishment of the new 2025 Five-Year Credit Agreement and the new 2025 364-Day Credit Facility, there were no material changes to our cash requirements or commercial commitments as disclosed in our Fiscal 2024 Form 10-K. Further information about our credit facilities and CP Program can be found in “Capital Resources” in this MD&A and Note G: Debt and Credit Arrangements in the Notes.
Defined Benefit Plan Contributions. As of October 3, 2025, we had net defined benefit plan assets of $933 million, the majority of which pertain to our U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plans. We intend to contribute annually no less than the required minimum funding thresholds to these pension plans and do not expect to make material contributions in fiscal 2025. Future required contributions will depend primarily on the actual return on plan assets and the discount rate used to measure the benefit obligation at the end of each year.
_____________________________________________________________________
31
We expect to continue evaluating opportunities to strategically manage our pension obligations, including the potential for additional pension de-risking transactions in the future, subject to market conditions and plan funding levels. These actions align with our long-term strategy to reduce exposure to pension volatility while maintaining financial flexibility.
See Note 9: Retirement Benefits in our Fiscal 2024 Form 10-K and Note H: Retirement Benefits in the Notes for further information regarding our defined benefit plans.
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, including the ongoing government shutdown, and the state of global commerce and general political and global financial uncertainty. We continue to monitor the potential effects of the ongoing government shutdown, which, if prolonged, could adversely affect our cash flows. See the “U.S. and International Budget Environment” discussion above in this MD&A and Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Fiscal 2024 Form 10-K for more information on budget uncertainties.
Based on our current business plan and revenue prospects, we believe that our existing cash, funds generated from operations, availability under our senior unsecured credit facilities and 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, and repayments of our debt securities at maturity for the next 12 months and the reasonably foreseeable future thereafter. Our capital expenditures for fiscal 2025 are expected to be approximately 2% of revenue. See “Cash Requirements” in this MD&A and “Capital Resources”, “Cash Requirements” and “Commercial Commitments” in Part II. Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Fiscal 2024 Form 10-K, for further information regarding our cash requirements.

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 2025 Impairment Tests. Information on interim impairment tests can be found in “Critical Accounting Estimates– Fiscal 2025 Impairment Tests” in Part I. Item 2.

There have been no new accounting pronouncements that became effective during year to date 2025 that have had a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
