Forward Guidance

L3Harris updated its guidance for 2020 to reflect current expectations and assumptions regarding COVID-19-related risks:

Positive Outlook

  • GAAP net income margin of 8.2% - 8.5% and adjusted EBIT margin of 17.4% - 17.6% (expanded at upper end of previous range of 17.0% - 17.5%)
  • Operating cash flow and adjusted free cash flow unchanged at $2.8 - $2.9 billion and $2.6 - $2.7 billion, respectively
  • ~$1.7 billion in share repurchases, inclusive of proceeds from divestitures announced year-to-date

Challenges Ahead

  • Revenue in a range of $18.3 billion - $18.6 billion, up organically 3% - 5% on an adjusted pro forma basis (reduced from previous range of up 5% - 7%); primarily reflects downturn in commercial aerospace business, as well as some weakness in international and public safety demand and risks from supply chain disruptions
  • GAAP EPS of $6.95 - $7.35 and non-GAAP EPS of $11.15 - $11.55 (reduced from previous guidance of $8.35 - $8.75 GAAP and $11.35 - $11.75 non-GAAP)
