Thank you, Bill. And good morning. Moving to segment results on Slide 5. Revenue for RF Communications was $584 million compared to $628 million in the prior year. Tactical Communications revenue was $409 million, declining 13%. In Public Safety and Professional Communications, revenue growth was excellent, increasing 12% to $175 million. Operating performance for the segment was very good, with operating income increasing in spite of lower revenue. Lower manufacturing costs and operating expenses resulted in a higher operating margin of 33.5%, up from 30.4% in the prior year. Orders for the segment totaled $529 million and book-to-bill was 0.91. In Tactical Communications, orders were $356 million, backlog was $665 million and book-to-bill was 0.87. During the quarter, Harris was awarded a 5-year, $400 million IDIQ contract from the U.S. Special Forces Operations Command and received 3 orders under that contract totaling $120 million for Falcon III wideband networking radios. Harris was also awarded a 5-year, $26 million IDIQ contract with the JTRS JPEO to maintain and enhance the JTRS Soldier Radio Waveform, the SRW software, which resides in the JTRS library and was originally developed by the program of record. This award highlights our company's unparalleled engineering expertise in developing and fielding robust waveforms. The domestic 12- to 18-month opportunity pipeline remains healthy and well-funded at $1.1 billion. International orders in the quarter included $31 million from the Kingdom of Jordan for Falcon II and Falcon III radios for the next phase of their C4ISR system supporting domestic and international security missions, bringing orders to date for the modernization to $57 million. The opportunity could now reach over $150 million. International opportunities continue to be strong, and as of the end of the quarter, the 12- to 18-month opportunity pipeline remained at $2.1 billion. In Public Safety, awards included a contract with a potential value of $109 million, with a $32 million initial order from the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Authority to deploy a communications network that will increase operational efficiencies, improve safety and provide interoperability with public safety agencies. San Francisco MTA will be one of the largest transit LMR systems in the country and is a key win for Harris in the growing transportation segment, a target market for Harris. The 12- to 18-month opportunity pipeline for public safety stands at a healthy $2.9 billion. Turning now to Slide 6, in Integrated Network Solutions. Fourth quarter revenue decreased 10% to $379 million. Strong growth in Healthcare Solutions and CapRock was more than offset by declining revenue in IT Services. Non-GAAP operating income was $34 million, essentially flat with $33 million in the prior year as continuing strong improvement in CapRock was offset by operating income decline in IT Services. Operating margin improved from 7.9% in the prior year to 9%. In Healthcare Solutions, revenue increased 69% driven by government wins primarily under 2 IDIQ contracts known as T4 and EVEAH, which were awarded late last fiscal year by the VA to upgrade and streamline operations. For the year, Healthcare Solutions revenue increased substantially to just under $200 million. The commercial side of the healthcare business is still very much a work in progress contributing to a $5 million non-GAAP loss in the quarter for Healthcare Solutions. Significant integration actions were taken during the quarter to bring expense levels in line with anticipated revenue and we continue to expect Healthcare Solutions to be profitable in fiscal 2013. In IT Services, revenue declined from 2 programs, the Patriot program roll off and the completion of systems and network integration for the Army Materiel Command headquarters, driving most of the $82 million decline in year-over-year revenue. CapRock had another excellent quarter in orders, revenue and op income, ending the fiscal year with good momentum. As Bill mentioned, revenue increased 8% and orders were significantly higher than revenue. Integration has progressed well, driving improved operating performance, with CapRock achieving double-digit operating margin. During the quarter, CapRock was awarded significant new wins in the growing maritime market, including a 5-year contract with Royal Caribbean and a 5-year contract with a customer in the Asia Pacific region covering up to 2,000 commercial vessels. Moving to Slide 7. Revenue in government communications was $497 million, as expected, about flat with the prior year. Year-over-year revenue increases from the GOES-R weather program, NASA's Space Network Ground Sustainment program and classified programs were offset by lower revenue from defense customers. Operating income was $66 million compared with $63 million in the prior year. Operating margins increased from 12.7% to 13.3%. Harris was awarded a significant new win in the commercial space area, a 5-year contract to supply 81 ADS-B receiver payloads to be hosted on the Iridium NEXT constellation. We believe that the market for commercially hosted payloads over the next 5 years could potentially be $250 million. And this recent win will be the largest implementation to date. Let me now talk about the financial highlights and guidance. Turning to Slide 8, fiscal 2012 was another solid financial year for Harris. Operating cash flow in the quarter was $370 million compared to $276 million in the prior year. Free cash flow in the quarter was also strong at $311 million, more than double the $147 million in the prior year. For the fiscal year, operating cash flow was excellent at $853 million and free cash flow at $619 million, a record for Harris, was much higher than $508 million in the prior year. All 3 segments generated positive operating cash flow and free cash flow for the quarter and the year. Capital expenditures were $59 million for the quarter and $234 million for the year. Our effective tax rate for the quarter was 33.9%, and for the year, it was 33.1%. Moving to Slide 9. Fiscal 2013 guidance is unchanged, with total Harris revenues still expected to be flat to 2% higher than fiscal 2012 and EPS in the range of $5.10 to $5.30. As we mentioned in June at our Investor Day, we expect the first quarter to be weaker, as compared to the prior year first quarter, due to lower sales and income in Tactical Communications and IT Services. We still expect the rest of the year to be in line with or higher than the prior year. Guidance does not reflect any potential impact from sequestration. In the segments, guidance for RF Communications and government communications is unchanged. In Integrated Network Solutions, we expect fiscal 2013 revenue to be 4% to 5% higher compared with the prior year versus the 3% to 4% previously expected and operating margins still in the range of 8% to 11%. We continue to expect the full year tax rate to remain at 33% in fiscal 2013 and free cash flow in a range of $595 million to $665 million, the components of which are set forth on the slide. With that, let me turn it back to Bill.
