First Quarter Results of Operations: For the 2018 first quarter, consolidated net sales of $2,371 million increased $50 million, or 2%, compared to the 2017 first quarter. Organic sales⁽¹⁾ increased by $39 million, or 2%, to $2,350 million for the 2018 first quarter. Organic sales exclude $21 million of sales increases related to business acquisitions and $10 million of sales declines related to business divestitures. For the 2018 first quarter, organic sales to the U.S. Government increased $18 million, or 1%, to $1,638 million and organic sales to international and commercial customers increased $21 million, or 3%, to $712 million.

Operating income for the 2018 first quarter increased by $14 million compared to the 2017 first quarter. Operating income as a percentage of sales (operating margin) increased by 40 basis points to 10.6% for the 2018 first quarter, compared to 10.2% for the 2017 first quarter. Operating margin increased 90 basis points due to improved contract performance primarily for the Electronic Systems and Aerospace Systems segments and 30 basis points due to lower severance and restructuring costs, primarily at Communication Systems. These increases were partially offset by 60 basis points primarily due to higher research and development costs and 20 basis points due to lower margins related to acquisitions primarily for the Sensor Systems segment. See the reportable segment results below for additional discussion of sales and operating margin trends.

The effective tax rate for the 2018 first quarter decreased to 11.1% from 21.1% for the 2017 first quarter. The decrease was primarily driven by an increase in tax benefits from equity compensation and the reduction of the U.S. corporate income tax rate enacted under the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.

Orders: Funded orders for the 2018 first quarter increased 10% to $2,636 million compared to $2,389 million for the 2017 first quarter. The book-to-bill ratio was 1.11x for the 2018 first quarter. Funded backlog increased 3% to $8,774 million at March 30, 2018, compared to $8,493 million at December 31, 2017.

Cash Flow: Net cash used in operating activities from continuing operations was $35 million for the 2018 first quarter compared net cash provided from operating activities from continuing operations of $86 million for the 2017 first quarter. The decrease is primarily due to higher working capital requirements, primarily contract assets and milestone payments for aircraft procurements related to U.S. and foreign government contracts. Capital expenditures, net of dispositions, increased by $14 million compared to the 2017 first quarter. The Company paid dividends of $65 million during the 2018 first quarter compared to $61 million during the 2017 first quarter. Repurchases of the Company's common stock were $119 million during the 2018 first quarter. The Company did not repurchase any of its common stock during the 2017 first quarter.

Divestitures: On May 1, 2018, the company announced that it entered into a definitive agreement to sell its Vertex Aerospace, Crestview Aerospace and TCS businesses. The company expects to complete the transaction in the summer of 2018, subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals and record a gain on the sale of these businesses upon closing.

__________________
⁽¹⁾		^{Organic sales represent net sales excluding the sales impact of acquisitions and divestitures. Sales increases related to acquired businesses are sales from acquisitions that are included in L3's actual results for less than 12 months. Sales declines related to business divestitures are sales from divestitures that are included in L3's actual results for the 12 months prior to the divestitures. The company believes organic sales is a useful measure for investors because it provides period-to-period comparisons of the company's ongoing operational and financial performance.}

Reportable Segment Results

The company has four reportable segments. The company evaluates the performance of its segments based on their sales, operating income and operating margin. Corporate expenses are allocated to the company's operating segments using an allocation methodology prescribed by U.S. Government regulations for government contractors. Accordingly, segment results include all costs and expenses, except for goodwill impairment charges and certain other items that are excluded by management for purposes of evaluating the performance of the company's business segments.

The company cautions investors that these statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, many of which are difficult to predict and generally beyond the company's control, that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied or projected by, the forward-looking information and statements. Some of the factors that could cause actual results to differ include, but are not limited to, the following: our dependence on the defense industry; backlog processing and program slips resulting from delayed awards and/or funding from the Department of Defense (DoD) and other major customers; the U.S. Government fiscal situation; changes in DoD budget levels and spending priorities; our reliance on contracts with a limited number of customers and the possibility of termination of government contracts by unilateral government action or for failure to perform; the extensive legal and regulatory requirements surrounding many of our contracts; our ability to retain our existing business and related contracts; our ability to successfully compete for and win new business, or, identify, acquire and integrate additional businesses; our ability to maintain and improve our operating margin; the availability of government funding and changes in customer requirements for our products and services; the outcome of litigation matters (see Notes to our annual report on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q); results of audits by U.S. Government agencies and of ongoing governmental investigations; our significant amount of debt and the restrictions contained in our debt agreements and actions taken by rating agencies that could result in a downgrade of our debt; our ability to continue to recruit, retain and train our employees; actual future interest rates, volatility and other assumptions used in the determination of pension benefits and equity based compensation, as well as the market performance of benefit plan assets; our collective bargaining agreements; our ability to successfully negotiate contracts with labor unions and our ability to favorably resolve labor disputes should they arise; the business, economic and political conditions in the markets in which we operate; the risk that our commercial aviation products and services businesses are affected by a downturn in global demand for air travel or a reduction in commercial aircraft OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) production rates; the DoD's Better Buying Power and other efficiency initiatives; events beyond our control such as acts of terrorism; our ability to perform contracts on schedule; our international operations including currency risks and compliance with foreign laws; our extensive use of fixed-price type revenue arrangements; the rapid change of technology and high level of competition in which our businesses participate; risks relating to technology and data security; our introduction of new products into commercial markets or our investments in civil and commercial products or companies; the impact on our business of improper conduct by our employees, agents or business partners; goodwill impairments and the fair values of our assets; and the ultimate resolution of contingent matters, claims and investigations relating to acquired businesses, and the impact on the final purchase price allocations.

Our forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this press release or as of the date they were made, and we undertake no obligation to update forward-looking statements. For a more detailed discussion of these factors, also see the information under the captions "Risk Factors" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in our most recent report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 and any material updates to these factors contained in any of our future filings.

As for the forward-looking statements that relate to future financial results and other projections, actual results will be different due to the inherent uncertainties of estimates, forecasts and projections and may be better or worse than projected and such differences could be material. Given these uncertainties, you should not place any reliance on these forward-looking statements.
