SAIC Announces Financial Results for Second Quarter of Fiscal Year 2013

MCLEAN, Va., Aug. 30, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- SAIC, Inc. (NYSE: SAI), a scientific, engineering, and technology applications company, today announced financial results for the second quarter of fiscal year 2013, which ended July 31, 2012.  In a separate press release today, the Company announced its plan to separate SAIC into two independent, publicly traded companies.

"Our 8% internal revenue growth during the quarter highlights our strong market position, disciplined execution of our strategy, and the dedicated efforts of our employees," said John P. Jumper, chairman and chief executive officer. "In announcing today the next step of our strategic plan to separate into two publicly traded companies, we configure ourselves for the future.  Our two companies will be designed so that the businesses can be more differentiated and more competitive in their own space.  More importantly, that addressable space will expand for each as we eliminate the burden of organizational conflicts of interest which have restricted our overall business.  This affords both companies an excellent opportunity to combine optimized cost structures, unrestricted access to their respective markets, and the leveraging of decades of SAIC's scientific and engineering excellence.  This will unleash the growth and value we can deliver to our customers, employees and shareholders."

Summary Results

Revenues for the second quarter of fiscal year 2013 were $2.85 billion, up 10 percent from $2.60 billion in the second quarter of fiscal year 2012.  Internal revenue growth, which represented 8 percent of the consolidated revenue growth, was driven by increased program activity in the Defense Solutions and Intelligence and Cybersecurity Solutions segments.

Operating income for the quarter was $191 million (6.7 percent of revenue), down from $209 million (8.1 percent of revenue) in the second quarter of fiscal year 2012.  The reduction in operating income was attributable to a net unfavorable change in contract estimates compared to a net positive change in contract estimates in the prior year period; increased indirect spending, including bid and proposal costs; and $11 million of charges associated with the corporate relocation and the strategic review leading to the planned separation announced today.

Income from continuing operations for the quarter was $110 million, down from $112 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2012. 

Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations for the quarter were $0.32, equal to the second quarter of fiscal year 2012.  The diluted share count for the quarter was 333 million, down 2 percent from 339 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2012.

Segment Operating Results   

Defense Solutions

Defense Solutions revenues for the quarter increased 14 percent from the second quarter of fiscal year 2012, all of which was internal growth.  This growth was attributable to increased activity on a number of programs including a systems and software development program for the U.S. Army, a program to operate and maintain the enterprise network IT infrastructure for the U.S. Department of State, a systems integration and logistics program for tactical and mine resistant ambush protected vehicles, an IT infrastructure support services program for an agency of the DoD, and the ramp up of a program with the Defense Logistics Agency to provide supply chain management of military land and aircraft tires.  These increases were partially offset by reduced revenue from the U.S. Army Brigade Combat Team Modernization (BCTM) contract, which was terminated during the third quarter of fiscal year 2012.

Defense Solutions operating income for the quarter was 7.4 percent of revenue, down from 8.1 percent of revenue in the second quarter of fiscal year 2012.  The decrease was attributable to increased bid and proposal costs and net unfavorable changes in contract estimates primarily arising from a $6 million profit write-down on the BCTM contract as a result of ongoing contract negotiations with the government.

Health, Energy and Civil Solutions

Health, Energy and Civil Solutions revenues for the quarter increased 5 percent from the second quarter of fiscal year 2012.  Internal revenues decreased 1 percent due to declines in various Federal Civilian programs and program completions with federal health information technology customers, particularly with U.S. DoD Military Health System customers.  These increases were partially offset by an increase in healthcare IT consulting services with commercial clients.

Health, Energy and Civil Solutions operating income for the quarter was 7.7 percent of revenue, down from 9.1 percent of revenue in the second quarter of fiscal year 2012. The decline was primarily due to net unfavorable changes in contract estimates, driven in part by $5 million of profit write-downs on certain energy and construction projects, and a $3 million lease termination charge related to a consolidation of facilities.  These decreases were partially offset by reduced research and development expense resulting from the advancement through the product development lifecycle of new non-intrusive inspection system offerings.

Intelligence and Cybersecurity Solutions

Intelligence and Cybersecurity Solutions revenues for the quarter increased 8 percent, all of which was internal growth, from the second quarter of fiscal year 2012, primarily due to increased activity on two airborne surveillance programs and a new intelligence gathering and analysis solution program.

Intelligence and Cybersecurity Solutions operating income for the quarter was 7.5 percent of revenue, down from 8.9 percent of revenue in the second quarter of fiscal year 2012, due to increased bid and proposal costs and research and development costs as well as lower sales of proprietary software products that have higher relative margins.

Corporate and Other

Corporate and Other segment operating income for the quarter declined from the second quarter of fiscal year 2012, primarily due to $11 million of charges associated with the corporate relocation and the strategic review leading to the planned separation announced today.

Cash Generation and Capital Deployment

Cash flow provided by operations for the quarter was $200 million, compared to $56 million for the second quarter of fiscal year 2012.  Days sales outstanding were 63 days this quarter compared to 74 days in the prior year quarter.

During the quarter, the Company settled $550 million of long-term debt at its maturity and paid a cash dividend of $0.12 per share.  The Company intends to continue paying dividends on a quarterly basis, although the declaration of any future dividends will be determined by the Company's Board of Directors each quarter and will depend on earnings, financial condition, capital requirements and other factors.

As of July 31, 2012, the Company had $756 million in cash and cash equivalents and $1.3 billion in long-term debt.

Subsequent to the end of the quarter, the Company completed the previously announced acquisition of maxIT Healthcare Holdings, Inc. (maxIT), a leading healthcare information technology consulting firm.

New Business Awards

Net business bookings totaled $2.2 billion in the second quarter of fiscal year 2013, representing a book-to-bill ratio of 0.8.  Notable awards received during the quarter include:

• Department of State, Bureau of Consular Affairs (CA), Office of Consular Systems and Technology.  The Company was awarded a prime contract to provide software engineering development, modernization, and enhancement; and technical and operations support services for CA's visa, American citizen services, and passport business processes.  The multiple-award, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract has a one-year base period of performance, four one-year options, and a contract ceiling value of approximately $750 million.
• U.S. Army/Research Development and Engineering Command Intelligence and Information Warfare Directorate.  The Company was awarded a prime contract to provide Vigilant Pursuit system design, production, testing, delivery, spares, training, and field service representative services in support of the U.S. Army Multi-functional Teams.  The single-award firm-fixed price contract has a one-year period of performance and a contract value of approximately $37 million.
• eHealth Saskatchewan Electronic Health Record System. The Company was awarded a prime contract to provide implementation and maintenance technology services in support of the province's Electronic Health Record system.  The single-award IDIQ contract has a three-year period of performance and a total contract value of $16 million.

The following notable award was received after the end of the quarter:

• U.S. Army Geospatial Center.  The Company was awarded a prime contract by the U.S. Army Geospatial Center to provide Geospatial Research, Intelligence, Development and Support related to Geospatial Enterprise Services.  The IDIQ contract has a one-year base period of performance, four one-year options, and a total contract value of $200 million, if all options are exercised.

The Company's backlog of signed business orders at the end of the second quarter of fiscal year 2013 was $16.7 billion, of which $5.5 billion was funded.  As compared to the end of the second quarter of fiscal year 2012, total backlog decreased 6 percent while funded backlog increased 5 percent. Negotiated unfunded backlog does not include any estimate of future task orders expected to be awarded under IDIQ, GSA Schedule or other master agreement contract vehicles.

Forward Guidance

Based upon its operating and business development performance through the second quarter of the fiscal year and the August 2012 acquisition of maxIT, the Company is increasing its expectation for fiscal year 2013 revenues.  Profit on the increased revenue expectations is offset by projected expenses related to execution of the planned separation announced today.  Accordingly, guidance for diluted earnings per share from continuing operations and cash flows from operations remain unchanged.  The revised fiscal year 2013 guidance is:

• Revenues of $10.9 billion to $11.4 billion;
• Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations of $1.26 to $1.36; and
• Cash flows from continuing operations at or above $150 million

Fiscal year 2013 guidance excludes the impact of potential future acquisitions and other non-ordinary course items.
