Summary
L3Harris Technologies appointed Sam Mehta as President and Chief Executive Officer and a board member, effective immediately, succeeding Christopher Kubasik, who stepped down as Chairman and CEO after an investigation by the Board's independent members determined he engaged in conduct inconsistent with the company's Code of Conduct. Lewis Hay III was named Independent Chairman, and Lauren Barnes and Christopher Aebli were appointed presidents of the Space & Mission Systems and Communications & Spectrum Dominance segments, respectively.
Key points
- The Board said Kubasik's conduct did not involve and had no impact on L3Harris's financial reporting, controls, customer relationships or operational performance.
- Under a separation agreement, Kubasik will not receive severance payments or benefits or accelerated vesting of unvested equity awards, but may retain and exercise previously vested stock options.
- Mehta, who joined L3Harris in 2023, previously led its Space & Mission Systems and Communications & Spectrum Dominance segments, which the company says account for more than 80% of total revenue.
- L3Harris reaffirmed its 2026 consolidated revenue, organic growth, segment operating margin, GAAP earnings per share and free cash flow guidance.
