SAIC Announces Third Quarter of Fiscal Year 2020 Results

Science Applications International Corporation (NYSE: SAIC), a leading technology integrator providing high-end solutions in engineering, IT, and mission solutions across the defense, space, civilian, and intelligence markets, today announced results for the third quarter ended November 1, 2019.

“SAIC's third quarter results reflect another quarter of consistent, strong results from an expanded contract portfolio, broadened capabilities and talented employees," said SAIC CEO Nazzic Keene. "Our fully integrated and focused growth strategy is driving our investment decisions and business pursuits as we look to accelerate profitable growth while continuing to deliver value for our customers and shareholders."

(1)Non-GAAP measure, see Schedule 5 for information about this measure.

Revenues for the quarter increased $453 million, or 38%, compared to the prior year quarter due to the acquisition of Engility. Adjusting for the impact of acquired revenues, revenues contracted 1.5% due to acquisition related dis-synergies.

Operating income as a percentage of revenues of 5.8%, decreased from 6.2% in the comparable prior year period, due to increased intangible asset amortization, lower current quarter net profit write-ups and acquisition and integration costs, partially offset by cost synergies.

Net income attributable to common stockholders for the quarter increased $7 million as compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to increased operating income ($17 million, net of tax), partially offset by higher interest expense and a higher effective tax rate.

Adjusted EBITDA(1) as a percentage of revenues for the quarter remained consistent with the prior year. Cost synergies related to the acquisition were offset by lower net profit write-ups.

Diluted earnings per share for the quarter was $0.94 compared to $1.11 in the prior year quarter. Adjusted diluted earnings per share(1) for the quarter was $1.39 compared to $1.47 in the prior year quarter. The weighted-average diluted shares outstanding during the quarter increased to 58.3 million from 43.2 million during the prior year quarter, primarily due to shares issued for the acquisition of Engility.

Cash Generation and Capital Deployment

Cash flows provided by operating activities for the third quarter were $116 million, an increase of $30 million compared to the same period in the prior year. The improvement is primarily due to cash provided from the operating activities of Engility.

During the quarter, SAIC deployed $24 million of capital, consisting of $21 million in cash dividends and $3 million of term loan repayment. There were no plan share repurchases in the third quarter. Not included in the third quarter capital deployment was the $100 million repayment of funds borrowed on our revolving credit facility during the second quarter to directly repurchase shares from a private equity shareholder.

New Business Awards

Net bookings for the quarter were approximately $2.2 billion, which reflects a book-to-bill ratio of 1.4. SAIC’s estimated backlog of signed business orders at the end of the quarter was approximately $14.5 billion of which $2.9 billion was funded.

In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by words such as “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “guidance,” and similar words or phrases. Forward-looking statements in this release may include, among others, estimates of future revenues, operating income, earnings, earnings per share, charges, total contract value, backlog, outstanding shares and cash flows, as well as statements about future dividends, share repurchases and other capital deployment plans. Such statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risk, uncertainties and assumptions, and actual results may differ materially from the guidance and other forward-looking statements made in this release as a result of various factors. Risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could cause or contribute to these material differences include those discussed in the “Risk Factors,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Legal Proceedings” sections of our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as updated in any subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and other filings with the SEC, which may be viewed or obtained through the Investor Relations section of our website at www.saic.com or on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

Backlog represents the estimated amount of future revenues to be recognized under negotiated contracts and task orders as work is performed and excludes contract awards which have been protested by competitors until the protest is resolved in our favor. SAIC segregates backlog into two categories, funded backlog and negotiated unfunded backlog. Funded backlog for contracts with government agencies primarily represents contracts for which funding is appropriated less revenues previously recognized on these contracts, and does not include the unfunded portion of contracts where funding is incrementally appropriated or authorized by the U.S. government and other customers even though the contract may call for performance over a number of years. Funded backlog for contracts with non-government agencies represents the estimated value of contracts which may cover multiple future years under which SAIC is obligated to perform, less revenues previously recognized on these contracts. Negotiated unfunded backlog represents the estimated future revenues to be earned from negotiated contracts for which funding has not been appropriated or authorized, and unexercised priced contract options. Negotiated unfunded backlog does not include any estimate of future potential task orders expected to be awarded under indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (IDIQ), U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) schedules or other master agreement contract vehicles.

Schedule 5:

SCIENCE APPLICATIONS INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
(Unaudited)

This schedule describes the non-GAAP financial measures included in this earnings release. While we believe that these non-GAAP financial measures may be useful in evaluating our financial information, they should be considered as supplemental in nature and not as a substitute for financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliations, definitions, and how we believe these measures are useful to management and investors are provided below. Other companies may define similar measures differently.

EBITDA is a performance measure that is calculated by taking net income and excluding interest, provision for income taxes, and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted operating income are performance measures that exclude acquisition and integration costs that we do not consider to be indicative of our ongoing operating performance. The acquisition and integration costs relate to the Company's significant acquisition of Engility. The recovery of acquisition and integration costs relate to acquisition and integration costs recovered through the Company's indirect rates in accordance with Cost Accounting Standards. We believe that these performance measures provide management and investors with useful information in assessing trends in our ongoing operating performance and may provide greater visibility in understanding the long-term financial performance of the Company.

(1) Non-GAAP measure, see above for definition.

Adjusted diluted earnings per share is a performance measure that excludes acquisition and integration costs that we do not consider to be indicative of our ongoing operating performance. The acquisition and integration costs relate to the Company's recent acquisition of Engility and is net of the recovery of acquisition and integration costs recovered through the Company's indirect rates in accordance with Cost Accounting Standards. Adjusted diluted earnings per share also excludes amortization of intangible assets because we do not have a history of significant acquisition activity, we do not acquire businesses on a predictable cycle, and the amount of an acquisition's purchase price allocated to intangible assets and the related amortization term are unique to each acquisition. We believe that this performance measure provides management and investors with useful information in assessing trends in our ongoing operating performance and may provide greater visibility in understanding the long-term financial performance of the Company.

(1) Non-GAAP measure, see above for definition.

Free cash flow is calculated by taking cash flows provided by operating activities less expenditures for property, plant, and equipment. We believe that free cash flow provides management and investors with useful information in assessing trends in our cash flows and in comparing them to other peer companies, many of whom present a similar non-GAAP liquidity measure. This measure should not be considered as a measure of residual cash flow available for discretionary purposes.

(1) Non-GAAP measure, see above for definition.
