“We are delighted to announce this sixth consecutive annual increase in our quarterly dividend,” said Howard L. Lance, Harris chairman, president, and CEO. “We reported excellent results for fiscal year 2007, which ended June 29, 2007. Revenue was a record $4.2 billion, and orders were ahead of revenue, creating continued positive momentum in the current year for both our government and commercial segments. This dividend increase, along with the $600 million share repurchase program announced in May 2007, further demonstrates the company’s ongoing commitment to increasing shareholder value.”
