First Quarter of Fiscal Year 2022: Summary Operating Results

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

First Quarter Summary Results

Revenues for the quarter increased $121 million, or 6.9%, compared to the prior year quarter due to the acquisition of Unisys Federal (which occurred in the middle of the first quarter of the prior year period), increased volume on existing programs, and revenue on new contracts primarily supporting the U.S. Air Force, partially offset by the completion of certain contracts. Adjusting for the impact of acquired revenues and divested revenues, revenues grew 2.6% primarily due to net increases in program volume and new awards. We estimate the first quarter program impact from the COVID-19 pandemic to be approximately $33 million of revenue, primarily driven by reduced volume in our supply chain business, lower FAA training service revenues, and uncertain profit recovery on ready-state labor.

Operating income as a percentage of revenues of 6.9%, increased from 4.4% in the comparable prior year period due to lower acquisition and integration costs, improved profitability across our contract portfolio, the acquisition of Unisys Federal (which occurred in the middle of the first quarter of the prior year period), lower indirect costs due to timing, and benefit from a net favorable settlement of prior indirect rate years, partially offset by increased intangible asset amortization.

Adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾ as a percentage of revenues for the quarter increased to 9.8% of revenues from 7.8% of revenues in the prior year quarter primarily due to a net increase in profitability across our existing contract portfolio, the acquisition of Unisys Federal (which occurred in the middle of the first quarter of the prior year period), lower indirect costs due to timing, and benefit from a net favorable settlement of prior indirect rate years. We estimate the first quarter program impact from the COVID-19 pandemic to be approximately $4 million of adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾.

Diluted earnings per share for the quarter was $1.38 compared to $0.62 in the prior year quarter. Adjusted diluted earnings per share⁽¹⁾ for the quarter was $1.94 compared to $1.38 in the prior year quarter. The weighted-average diluted shares outstanding during the quarter increased to 58.7 million from 58.5 million during the prior year quarter.

Cash Generation and Capital Deployment

Cash flows provided by operating activities for the first quarter were $189 million, a decrease of $178 million compared to the prior year quarter, primarily due to a decrease in net cash received under the MARPA Facility ($185 million).

Free cash flow⁽¹⁾ for the first quarter which excludes the impact from the MARPA Facility, increased by $6 million from the prior year quarter to $164 million.

During the quarter, SAIC deployed $71 million of capital, consisting of $39 million of plan share repurchases, $22 million in cash dividends, and $10 million of capital expenditures. In addition, SAIC made $23 million of mandatory debt repayment in the first quarter.

Quarterly Dividend Declared

Subsequent to the end of the quarter, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.37 per share of the Company’s common stock payable on July 30, 2021 to stockholders of record on July 16, 2021. 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.

Backlog and Contract Awards

Net bookings for the quarter were approximately $4.2 billion, which reflects a book-to-bill ratio of 2.2 and a trailing twelve months book-to-bill ratio of 2.0. SAIC’s estimated backlog at the end of the quarter was approximately $24 billion. Of the total backlog amount, approximately $3.3 billion was funded.

Fiscal Year 2022 Guidance

As a result of the Company’s year-to-date performance and future expectations, including expected impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company is updating previously provided fiscal year 2022 guidance. The guidance assumes expected negative COVID-19 impact of approximately $150 million in revenue and approximately $10 million in adjusted EBITDA. The guidance also assumes that support currently provided under Section 3610 of the CARES Act continues through the end of fiscal year 2022 (January 28, 2022) and excludes the announced acquisition of Halfaker and Associates, LLC. The table below summarizes fiscal year 2022 guidance and represents our views as of June 3, 2021.

GAAP to Non-GAAP Guidance Reconciliation

The Company does not provide a reconciliation of forward-looking adjusted diluted EPS to GAAP diluted EPS or adjusted EBITDA margin to GAAP net income due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliation, including, but not limited to, amortization of acquired intangible assets and acquisition, integration and restructuring costs. As a result, the Company is not able to forecast GAAP diluted EPS or GAAP net income with reasonable certainty. The variability of the above charges may have an unpredictable and potentially significant impact on our future GAAP financial results.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements in this release contain or are based on “forward-looking” information within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. 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. Due to such risks, uncertainties and assumptions you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. SAIC expressly disclaims any duty to update any forward-looking statement provided in this release to reflect subsequent events, actual results or changes in SAIC’s expectations. SAIC also disclaims any duty to comment upon or correct information that may be contained in reports published by investment analysts or others.

Schedule 1:

Schedule 2:

Schedule 3:

Schedule 4:

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.

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, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Operating Income

EBITDA is a performance measure that is calculated by taking net income and excluding interest and loss on sale of receivables, provision for income taxes, and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted operating income are performance measures that exclude acquisition and integration costs and restructuring 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 acquisitions of Unisys Federal and Engility. The recovery of acquisition and integration costs relate to 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.
