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 first quarter ended May 3, 2019.

"SAIC is off to a strong start to fiscal year 2020, keeping our attention on strong operational performance while continuing the integration of Engility," said SAIC CEO-Elect, Nazzic Keene. "The transition of CEO responsibilities has gone smoothly while executing our business strategy to accelerate sustained profitable growth through our newly acquired capabilities, talent, and customer access."

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

Revenues for the quarter increased $440 million, or 37%, compared to the prior year quarter due to the acquisition of Engility. Excluding acquired revenues, revenues contracted 2.8%, attributable to humanitarian relief materials in the prior year quarter and the effect of acquisition related revenue dis-synergies.

Operating income as a percentage of revenues of 5.8%, increased from 5.6% in the comparable prior year period, due to the acquisition of Engility, cost synergies related to the acquisition, and improved performance across our portfolio, partially offset by higher costs associated with the acquisition and integration of Engility.

Net income attributable to common stockholders for the quarter increased $6 million as compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to increased operating income ($24 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 increased to 8.3%, compared to 6.5% for the prior year quarter, driven by the acquisition of Engility, cost synergies related to the acquisition, and improved performance across our portfolio including higher net favorable changes in estimates.

Diluted earnings per share was $0.92 for the quarter and adjusted diluted earnings per share⁽¹⁾ was $1.36. The weighted-average diluted shares outstanding during the quarter was 60 million shares.

Cash Generation and Capital Deployment

Cash flows provided by operating activities for the first quarter were $178 million, compared to $88 million during the same period in the prior year. The improvement is primarily due to customer collections recouped from the U.S. federal government partial shutdown that occurred in the prior quarter, strong customer collections across several programs, and cash provided from the operating activities of Engility.

During the quarter, SAIC deployed $70 million of capital, consisting of $44 million in plan share repurchases (591 thousand shares) under SAIC's previously announced share repurchase program, $23 million in cash dividends, and a $3 million mandatory term loan repayment.

Quarterly Dividend Declared

Subsequent to quarter end, the Company's Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.37 per share of the Company's common stock payable on July 26, 2019 to stockholders of record on July 12, 2019. SAIC intends to continue paying dividends on a quarterly basis, although the declaration of any future dividends will be determined by the Board of Directors each quarter and will depend on earnings, financial condition, capital requirements and other factors.

New Business Awards

Contract awards for the quarter were $1.9 billion, including approximately $300 million from single-award indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) value. Net bookings for the quarter were approximately $1.4 billion, which reflects a book-to-bill ratio of 0.9. Of the net bookings for the quarter, 70% were for new business. SAIC's estimated backlog of signed business orders at the end of the quarter was approximately $13.6 billion of which $3.0 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 CORPORATIONNON-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 attributable to common stockholders 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.
