L3Harris Technologies announced a leadership transition in which Sam Mehta was appointed President and Chief Executive Officer and joined the Board, effective immediately. Mehta previously led the Space & Mission Systems (SMS) and Communications & Spectrum Dominance (CSD) segments, which comprise approximately 80% of total revenue, and brings more than 25 years of aerospace and defense leadership experience.
The company also disclosed that former Chairman and CEO Christopher Kubasik stepped down from his roles and from all subsidiary boards pursuant to a Separation Agreement. L3Harris stated that its Board, assisted by independent counsel, investigated certain conduct it concluded was not consistent with the company’s Code of Conduct, while noting this conduct was unrelated to financial reporting, controls, customer relationships or operational performance. Under the Separation Agreement, Kubasik may retain and exercise previously vested stock options but will not receive severance payments, severance benefits or accelerated vesting of unvested equity awards.
Mehta’s new compensation package includes an annual base salary of $1,250,000, a target annual cash bonus opportunity equal to 200% of base salary, and a long-term incentive target of $13,250,000, each prorated for fiscal 2026. The Board named Lewis Hay III as Independent Chairman and promoted Lauren Barnes to President of SMS and Christopher Aebli to President of CSD. L3Harris reaffirmed its 2026 outlook for consolidated revenue, organic growth, segment operating margin, GAAP earnings per share and free cash flow.
L3Harris Technologies reported robust second quarter 2026 results with revenue of $5,881 million, up 8% from 2025, driven by growth across all three segments. Orders were $7.3 billion, producing a 1.2x book-to-bill ratio and increasing backlog to a record $42 billion.
Operating income rose to $654 million from $571 million and operating margin improved to 11.1%, up 60 bps, while segment operating margin was 16.0%. Diluted EPS increased 28% to $3.13, supported by higher volume, improved program performance and lower corporate and other expense.
Cash from operations was $879 million and free cash flow was $771 million, both up 37%. Space & Mission Systems revenue grew 7%, Communications & Spectrum Dominance 4% and Missile Solutions 14%. L3Harris increased 2026 guidance to consolidated revenue of $23.2B–$23.7B and diluted EPS of $11.80–$12.00.
L3Harris Technologies approved special one-time equity Sustainment Awards for three senior executives, with target grant date values of $10,000,000 each for Kenneth Bedingfield and Samir Mehta and $5,000,000 for CFO Kenneth Sharp. The awards will be granted on August 3, 2026 under the 2024 Equity Incentive Plan as 50% performance share units (PSUs) and 50% restricted stock units (RSUs).
The PSUs cover a three-year performance period from fiscal year 2027 through fiscal year 2029 and vest based on compounded organic revenue growth and average segment operating margin, each weighted 50%. Each executive may earn between 0% and 200% of the target PSUs. Both PSUs and RSUs cliff-vest at the end of fiscal year 2029, with pro-rata vesting upon involuntary termination without cause and no vesting upon voluntary termination or retirement.
