1.8%
First quarter revenue decreased 1.3% versus prior year primarily due to divestitures and COVID-related impacts within the commercial businesses. Organic revenue increased 1.8% for the quarter as 4.8% growth in U.S. and international government businesses, excluding commercial aviation and Public Safety, more than offset the anticipated COVID-related decline. At the segment level, revenue growth was driven by Integrated Mission Systems, Space and Airborne Systems and Communication Systems, partially offset by a decline in Aviation Systems primarily due to COVID-related impacts. Funded book-to-bill2 was 1.10 for the quarter.
First quarter net income margin expanded 600 bps and adjusted EBIT margin expanded 140 bps to 18.9% versus prior year. GAAP EPS increased 127% versus prior year driven by a reduction in charges for impairment of goodwill and other assets, operational excellence, integration benefits and a lower share count, partially offset by COVID and divestiture-related impacts. Non-GAAP EPS increased 14% versus prior year driven by operational excellence, integration benefits and a lower share count, net of COVID and divestiture-related impacts.

5.9%
First quarter revenue increased 5.9% from growth in Maritime, driven by a ramp on manned platforms, and in ISR from a newly awarded NATO program, with moderate growth in Electro Optical. First quarter operating income increased 19% to $240 million, and operating margin expanded 180 bps to 16.5% versus prior year, driven by cost management, integration benefits and operational excellence.
Segment funded book-to-bill was 1.32 for the quarter.
ISR award activity continued with over $380 million in orders for advanced capabilities across incumbent platforms, including the Rivet Joint reconnaissance, National Command Authority and classified aircraft, further strengthening the companys position as a partner of choice with the U.S. Air Force. L3Harris also expanded its international presence with over $450 million in orders, including a contract to deliver a series of missionized Gulfstream G550 aircraft to a NATO customer, with significant follow-on opportunity.
In Maritime, the company received a six-year, multi-award IDIQ contract for up to $827 million to provide engineering services across a range of platforms for the U.S. Navy in support of the Hull, Mechanical and Electrical Systems modernization program. L3Harris also was awarded multiple contracts totaling over $60 million to provide imaging systems on submarines for customers in the Asia Pacific and Middle East regions, strengthening its position as a leading provider of maritime solutions.
In Electro Optical, domestic and international demand was strong and included a $127 million award to provide mission-critical avionics on the Vulcan Centaur rocket for U.S. Space Force launches. The company also reinforced its international position with $85 million in orders for WESCAM airborne sensor systems from customers primarily in Europe and Northern Africa, as well as over $120 million in orders for in-service support of fighter and surveillance aircraft, extending L3Harris long-standing incumbency with the Canadian Department of National Defence.
