RESTON, Va., Jan. 9, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Leidos Holdings, Inc. (Leidos) (NYSE: LDOS), a global science and technology company, has scheduled a conference call for Thursday, February 23, 2017, at 8:00 AM ET to announce its fourth quarter and full year 2016 financial results for the period ending Friday, December 30, 2016. The company plans to issue its quarterly earnings press release before the conference call on February 23, 2017.

Additionally, the company announced that, subject to market conditions, it is seeking to reprice the Leidos Innovations Corporation's $1.13 billion Term Loan B maturing in August 2023. If successful, the repricing will reduce the interest rate of the Term Loan B, while leaving all other terms and conditions unchanged, including the principal amount and maturity. The repricing is expected to be completed in February 2017.  However, there can be no assurance that the company will be able to complete the repricing.

The company also announced that it repaid a total of $275 million of the Leidos Innovations Corporation's 3-year Term Loan A in 2016, including $175 million in the fourth quarter. After giving effect to the repayments, the company ended the fiscal year with a consolidated cash position greater than $350 million.
