PAGE 7 | L3HARRIS INVESTOR LETTER 2Q 2023 Refer to endnotes on page 14 2023 Guidance Increased L3Harris has updated its revenue guidance to reflect first half performance driven by strong demand and new program ramps across the portfolio, most notably within the space domain. Guidance also contemplates a continued easing of supply chain disruptions, which is consistent with trends through the first half of the year. The company now expects revenue of $18.0 billion to $18.3 billion, up from prior guidance of $17.4 billion to $17.8 billion. Segment operating income is expected to be consistent with the prior guidance of $2.7 billion to $2.8 billion. Segment totals were previously more towards the low end of the range and are now towards the midpoint of the range. Incremental income from higher revenue growth is being largely offset by operational challenges within the IMS segment. The company expects continued best-in- class segment operating margins of ~15.0% in 2023. L3Harris Consolidated Actuals and Guidance (excluding Aerojet Rocketdyne) 2022 GAAP 2022 Non-GAAP 2023 Prior 2023 Current Current vs. Prior Revenue YoY growth $17.1B $17.0B $17.4B - $17.8B up ~2% - 4% $18.0B - $18.3B up ~5.5% - 7.0% Segment operating income1 $1.8B $2.6B $2.7B - $2.8B $2.7B - $2.8B Segment operating margin1 10.7% 15.4% 15.2% - 15.7% ~ 15% EPS1 $5.49 $12.90 $12.00 - $12.50 $12.15 - $12.55 Cash flow1 $2.2B $2.0B $2.0B+ $2.0B+ Financial Guidance Consistent with prior commentary, the company expects quarterly segment operating margins to expand sequentially in the second half driven by increasing commercial product deliveries, operational improvements and cost controls. Non-operating updates include a lower than originally expected non-GAAP tax rate of 13.0% to 13.5% reflecting continued strategic tax planning efforts. Non-operational guidance also includes ~$20 million of higher FAS/CAS pension income, which is anticipated to be offset by ~$20 million increase in interest expense. These updates result in an increase to non-GAAP EPS guidance to $12.15 to $12.55 per share. Guidance for adjusted free cash flow remains unchanged at $2.0B+. Working capital improvements are expected to increase sequentially throughout the second half of 2023. Other guidance information can be found in Table 5 - Other Financial Information and Net FAS / CAS Pension Adjustment, on page 20

L3Harris expects IMS segment operating income of $765 million to $800 million, down from prior guidance of $800 million to $850 million. Communication Systems (CS) L3Harris has increased CS segment revenue guidance to reflect improving material availability and a more consistent supply chain and expects segment revenue of $4.9 billion to $5.0 billion, up from prior guidance of $4.8 billion to $4.9 billion. The company has also increased CS operating income guidance as a result of the increased revenue. L3Harris expects CS segment operating income of $1.20 billion to $1.23 billion, up from prior guidance of $1.15 billion to $1.20 billion. Space & Airborne Systems (SAS) The company has increased SAS revenue guidance to reflect strong first-half performance driven by new program ramps within Space and expects SAS segment revenue of $6.7 billion to $6.8 billion, up from prior guidance of $6.4 billion to $6.5 billion. L3Harris has also increased SAS segment operating income guidance as a result of the increased Space revenue and expects operating income of $735 million to $760 million, up from prior guidance of $700 million to $750 million. Integrated Mission Systems (IMS) L3Harris has increased IMS revenue guidance to reflect stronger demand for domestic ISR solutions. The company expects IMS segment revenue of $6.7B to $6.8 billion, up from prior guidance of $6.5 billion to $6.7 billion. The company has lowered IMS segment operating income guidance as a result of isolated operational challenges within the ISR and Maritime businesses, which the company is addressing.

Domestic On June 3, the President signed into law the Fiscal Responsibility Act (FRA) of 2023, 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 Government Fiscal Year (GFY) 2024 national defense funding at $886 billion, which includes $842 billion for the Department of Defense (DoD) specifically. GFY 2024 non-defense funding is capped at $704 billion. On July 14, the House passed its GFY 2024 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) authorizing $842 billion for the DoD, consistent with the GFY 2024 PBR and the caps set forth by the FRA. The House and Senate will continue consideration of GFY 2024 appropriation and authorization bills. The company expects to begin GFY 2024 under a Continuing Resolution (CR), which is assumed in guidance. Demand Environment House Armed Services Committee (HASC) House Appropriations Committee - Defense (HAC-D) Senate Armed Services Committee (SASC) International Aligned with its Trusted Disruptor strategy, L3Harris remains dedicated to expanding its international presence. Year-to-date, the company has received international orders totaling $3 billion, including $300 million in support of Ukraine and approximately $800 million in international space awards. The company anticipates this positive trend to continue as North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) allies and other nations increase their defense expenditures to address ongoing global threats. Notably, Germany recently approved a draft 2024 budget reflecting a €1.7 billion increase to defense spending, affirming its commitment to raise defense expenditures to 2% of it’s gross domestic product.

PAGE 11 | L3HARRIS INVESTOR LETTER 2Q 2023 Refer to endnotes on page 14 Progressing Trusted Disruptor strategy - L3Harris has won several new competitive awards, displacing incumbents within space and intel and cyber domains. In Space, the company was notified of a classified award for up to seven satellite payloads for a new mission partner. Additionally, the company’s Intel and Cyber sector was awarded several competitive prime positions, displacing long-standing incumbents. These achievements not only highlight the exceptional capabilities of L3Harris but also expand the company’s role as a mission integrator. As a result of these recent wins, classified programs now account for 50% of the SAS portfolio and they exemplify the company’s role as a trusted partner in delivering mission-critical solutions. Leveraging innovative solutions - The company announced strategic partnerships with BigBear.ai and Amazon Web Services (AWS). L3Harris has partnered with BigBear.ai to harness the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) for autonomous maritime defense programs. The collaboration with AWS will focus on developing networking and fusion solutions for data-centric warfare. This joint effort combines L3Harris' extensive expertise in sensors and mission knowledge with AWS's experience in software development and cloud- based data architecture. Compass Call first flight - L3Harris recently completed the integration of the U.S. Air Force’s newest EW aircraft and achieved first flight, a major milestone in delivering critical capabilities. As the platform integrator for the program, L3Harris is migrating, or cross decking, the existing Compass Call EC-130H mission system onto the EC-37B. Exceeding customer expectations - The company delivered the first four VAMPIRE systems in support of Ukraine. VAMPIRE enables Ukraine ground forces to defend against adversary threats and provides critical defense assets to help Ukraine protect against attacks on civilian infrastructure. Performance First Highlights Operational Update
PAGE 12 | L3HARRIS INVESTOR LETTER 2Q 2023 Refer to endnotes on page 14 Stabilizing Operational Challenges The company's Performance First focus is starting to pay dividends. Consistent with prior commentary, second quarter net EAC adjustments improved $25 million sequentially. Although improving, the IMS segment, specifically in ISR and Maritime sectors, has experienced operational challenges from both macro and temporal effects, including on fixed-price development programs. The team is addressing this through a multi- pronged approach, including extensive new-hire training, maturing programmatic processes and enhancing the management of risks while scrutinizing future opportunities. These actions are expected to provide greater financial stability going forward and enable a foundation for future profitable growth. Supply Chain & Labor As anticipated, the company continued to see an improving supply chain. The breadth of disruptions continue to dissipate, allowing L3Harris to focus resources on fewer challenges and work toward a ‘new normal’ in supply chain management. Labor attrition and inflation remain watch items that present challenges to certain programs across the enterprise. Labor attrition has continued in a positive trajectory from a peak in 3Q22 in the low double digits, with rolling 12-month attrition rates declining 20-40 basis points in the last three consecutive quarters, although still above historical levels. Overall, L3Harris continues to anticipate that supply chain and labor will improve sequentially for the remainder of 2023. Enterprise Transformation Last quarter, we launched an enterprise transformation program that we are calling “LHX NeXt.” The initiative is a multi-phase, multi-year evolution following the major integration activities from the L3 and Harris merger and is designed to harmonize and accelerate business enhancements, including configurations as a result of portfolio changes. This initiative deploys L3Harris’ Trusted Disruptor strategy inward, through a set of analyses and actions across functions, systems and processes. LHX NeXt is expected to drive increased agility and cost competitiveness to enable more capability and capacity for customers while driving increased shareholder value. Over the last several months, the LHX NeXt team kicked off planning for the first phase and performed baseline cost analysis, identified best- in-class benchmarks and are designing execution plans across the enterprise. Our initial focus has been on building a strategy for company-wide “Centers of Excellence”, optimizing third-party spend through a structured, cross-functional strategy and analyzing organizational hygiene like spans and layers. The LHX NeXt end objective is targeted at removing silos and driving greater efficiencies and speed of decision making across the enterprise. In addition to cost savings, the initiative is in the early stages of identifying investments in key technologies and system enablers. We look forward to providing a comprehensive update, including costs, gross and net savings and timing of LHX NeXt in the coming quarters. Operational Update
PAGE 13 | L3HARRIS INVESTOR LETTER 2Q 2023 Refer to endnotes on page 14 Capital Deployment > In the second quarter, L3Harris returned $338 million of cash to shareholders; nearly $1 billion year-to-date > $216 million in dividends in the second quarter; $436 million year-to-date > $122 million in share repurchases in the second quarter; $518 million year-to-date > The company aims to deploy capital strategically to optimize total shareholder return > In the near term, the company anticipates prioritizing debt repayment > Longer term, L3Harris remains committed to a balanced capital allocation among capital returns, portfolio optimization and debt repayments Cash Flow L3Harris reported 2Q23 cash flow from operations of $414 million, down versus 2Q22 primarily due to higher income taxes and lower net income excluding the impact of non-cash items. Adjusted free cash flow1 was $338 million, also down versus 2Q22 from the items noted above and higher capital expenditures. Leverage & Liquidity > During the quarter, L3Harris repaid $800 million aggregate principal amount of its 3.85% 2023 Notes through the combination of cash on hand and commercial paper. As of June 30, 2023 the company’s outstanding commercial paper was $579 million, which is included as a component of short term debt. > As of June 30, 2023, L3Harris’ net-debt-to- adjusted EBITDA1 leverage ratio was 2.5x > The company targets a leverage ratio of less than 3.0x net-debt-to-adjusted EBITDA1. When above this target, L3Harris expects to prioritize debt repayment to maintain solid investment grade credit ratings and achieve this through a moderation in share repurchases and proceeds from potential non-core asset divestitures.

PAGE 21 | L3HARRIS INVESTOR LETTER 2Q 2023 Non-GAAP Adjustment Definition Amortization of acquisition-related intangibles Consists of amortization of identifiable intangible assets acquired in connection with business combinations. Amortization charges are recorded over the estimated useful life of the related acquired intangible asset, and thus are generally recorded over multiple years. Additional cost of sales related to the fair value step-up in inventory sold Difference between the balance sheet value of inventory from the acquiree and the acquisition date fair value. L3Harris merger-related integration expenses Costs associated with meeting gross synergy targets for the L3Harris merger. Acquisition-related transaction and integration expenses Post-announcement transaction and integration expenses associated with TDL and pending AJRD acquisition. Pre-acquisition and other divestiture- related expenses Includes external costs related to pursuing acquisition and divestiture portfolio optimization, non-transaction costs related to divestitures and salaries of employees in roles established for and dedicated to planned divestiture and acquisition activity. Business divestiture-related gains, net Gains or losses associated with business divestitures. In 2Q23, related to gain on the divestiture of our Visual Information Solutions business of $26 million. Gain on sale of asset group In 2022, related to an asset sale in our Integrated Mission Systems segment. Impairment of goodwill In 2022, charges for goodwill impairment recorded at our Integrated Missions Systems and Space & Airborne Systems Segments related to a weakened outlook for precision weapons and other solutions and higher interest rates, and charges recorded at our Communication Systems segment related to a lower outlook on legacy platforms and higher interest rates. Impairment of other assets In 2Q 2023, includes a $21M non-cash charge for impairment of an in-process R&D intangible asset, $9M of non-cash charges for impairment of other assets related to facility closures and $30M of non-cash charges for impairment of other assets related to restructuring of a customer contract. LHX NeXt Costs associated with transforming multiple functions, systems and processes to increase agility and competitiveness. The LHX NeXt effort is expected to continue for the next two to three years with one-time costs for workforce optimization, third party consulting, incremental IT expenses for implementation of new systems, and other costs. In 2Q 2023, costs consisted of $12M for third-party consulting and $10M for workforce optimization, incremental IT, and other. Charges for severance and other termination costs Charges associated with a formal restructuring plan and primarily related to employee severance and benefit arrangements. In 2022 we incurred charges associated with severance and other benefits related to employees that accepted a voluntary retirement plan with an effective retirement date of September 30, 2022. Charges related to an additional pre- merger legal contingency Accrual associated with an ongoing legal matter that is disproportionately large related to our routine legal expenses or accruals. Non-operating income adjustments 2022 includes an $8 million adjustment for equity method investment earnings. This Investor Letter contains non-GAAP financial measures (as listed on page 14 and defined by endnote 1 within this Letter) within the meaning of Regulation G promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). L3Harris management believes excluding the adjustments outlined below for the purposes of calculating certain non-GAAP measures is useful to investors because these costs do not reflect our ongoing operating performance. These adjustments, when considered together with the unadjusted GAAP financial measures, provide information that is useful to investors in understanding period-over-period operating results separate and apart from items that may, or could, have a disproportionately positive or negative impact on results in any particular period. L3Harris management also believes that these adjustments to our non-GAAP financial measures enhance the ability of investors to analyze L3Harris business trends and to understand L3Harris performance. L3Harris may utilize non-GAAP financial measures as guides in forecasting, budgeting and long-term planning processes and to measure operating performance for some management compensation purposes. Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP. See “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below for detail on the adjustments to our non-GAAP financial measures. Non-GAAP Financial Measures
PAGE 22 | L3HARRIS INVESTOR LETTER 2Q 2023 To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), we provide additional non-GAAP measures, including organic revenue, segment operating income and margin, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP EPS, non-GAAP backlog, net-debt-to-adjusted-EBITDA, and adjusted free cash flow (FCF). L3Harris management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, when considered together with the GAAP financial measures, provide information that is useful to investors in understanding period-over-period operating results separate and apart from items that may, or could, have a disproportionately positive or negative impact on results in any particular period. L3Harris management also believes that these non-GAAP financial measures enhance the ability of investors to analyze L3Harris’ business trends and to understand L3Harris’ performance. In addition, L3Harris may utilize non-GAAP financial measures as guides in its forecasting, budgeting, and long- term planning processes and to measure operating performance for some management compensation purposes. Any analysis of non-GAAP financial measures should be used only in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures with the most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP follows. We also provide our expectation of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures, including expected non- GAAP EPS, segment operating income and margin, adjusted free cash flow and non-GAAP tax rate for the full-year 2023. A reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to comparable GAAP measures is not available without unreasonable effort because of inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying the comparable GAAP measures and the applicable adjustments and other amounts that would be necessary for such a reconciliation, including due to potentially high variability, complexity and low visibility as to the applicable adjustments and other amounts, which may, or could, have a disproportionately positive or negative impact on the company's future GAAP results, such as the integration of TDL and the timing and impact of the potential acquisition of AJRD on our results and other potential business divestiture- related gains and losses, and other unusual gains and losses, or their probable significance and extent of tax deductibility. The variability of the applicable adjustments and other amounts may have a significant, unpredictable impact on our future GAAP results. Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
