AddedRisk Factors
The application or impact of negative audit findings, contract termination, unilateral government action, or regulation on our government contracts could have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and equity. U.S. Government contracts are generally subject to U.S. Government oversight audits, which could result in adjustments to our contract costs. Any costs found to be improperly allocated to a specific contract will not be reimbursed, and such costs already reimbursed must be refunded. We have recorded contract revenue based on costs we expect to realize upon final audit. However, we do not know the outcome of any future audits and adjustments, and we may be required to materially reduce our revenue or profits upon completion and final negotiation of audits. Negative audit findings could also result in termination of a contract, forfeiture of profits, suspension of payments, fines or suspension or debarment from U.S. Government contracting or subcontracting for a period of time.

AddedRisk Factors
In addition, U.S. Government contracts generally contain provisions permitting termination, in whole or in part, without prior notice at the U.S. Government’s convenience upon payment only for work done and commitments made at the time of termination. For some contracts, we are a subcontractor and the U.S. Government could terminate the prime contractor for convenience without regard for our performance as a subcontractor. We may be unable to secure new contracts to offset revenue or contractual backlog lost as a result of any termination of our U.S. Government contracts.

AddedRisk Factors
From time to time, we may begin performance of a U.S. Government contract under an undefinitized contract action with a not-to-exceed price before the terms, specifications or price are agreed to between the parties. In these arrangements, the U.S. Government has the ability to unilaterally definitize the contract if a mutual agreement regarding terms, specifications and price cannot be reached. These uncertainties or loss of negotiating leverage associated with long delays could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and equity.

We structure our operations primarily around the capabilities we provide and we report our financial results in four business segments: CS, SAS, IMS, and AR. Revenue is disaggregated at the segment level into categories that the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) believes best depict the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows. These categories do not distinguish between product and service revenue because management evaluates the business on a combined, consolidated revenue and cost of revenue basis. The CODM, as well as segment management, are not provided with and do not review revenue or cost of revenue disaggregated between products and services at the segment or sector level; accordingly, this information is not used in resource allocation decisions. Accordingly, and because we do not believe such disaggregation assists in an understanding of our financial condition and results of operations, product and service revenue and the related cost of revenue are not disaggregated herein. See Note 14: Business Segments in the Notes for further information regarding our business segments.

On March 15, 2025, the President signed into law a full-year CR for GFY 2025, funding the government through September 30, 2025, with $893 billion for defense funding, including $851 billion for the 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 prioritize 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 Commerce-Justice-Science appropriations bill, which provides funding for NASA and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (“NOAA”), was signed into law on January 23, 2026. The bill provides $6 billion above the Administration’s GFY 2026 budget request for NASA and rejects the proposed termination of the Space Launch System (“SLS”) and Orion following the Artemis III mission and directs the inclusion of an SLS-based option in any competition for future Artemis launch services. The bill also provides $6 billion for NOAA, an increase of more than $1.5 billion above the Administration’s GFY 2026 request.

The final GFY 2027 National Defense Authorization Act (“NDAA”) was signed into law in December 2025. The NDAA provides authorization of appropriations for the DoW, nuclear weapons programs of the Department of Energy, and other defense-related activities.

Congress passed the Defense Appropriations bill on February 3, 2026, providing $859 billion for DoW programs, an increase of 1% or ~$9 billion over the President’s Budget Request. In addition, Congress provided just over $22 billion for the FAA via the Transportation-Housing and Urban Development bill, more than $1 billion above the GFY 2025 enacted level.
