SAN DIEGO and MCLEAN, Va., Sept. 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- SAIC, Inc. (NYSE: SAI), a leading provider of research, engineering, and technology services and solutions, today announced financial results for the second quarter of fiscal year 2008, which ended July 31, 2007.
"The company posted strong financial results for the second quarter. We met all of our financial objectives and are on track for an excellent year," said Ken Dahlberg, SAIC chairman and chief executive officer. "Our employees are aligned with and executing the plan that we described at the time of our initial public offering to accelerate revenue growth, improve margins, and deploy our capital wisely."
During the quarter, the company completed a reorganization transaction resulting in the disposition of its 55 percent interest in the consolidated joint venture, AMSEC LLC. In exchange for its 55 percent interest in the joint venture, the company received certain divisions of AMSEC that have been integrated into the company. The results from the portion of the business disposed of in this reorganization transaction are reflected in discontinued operations.
Summary Operating Results
Revenues for the quarter were $2.2 billion, up 11 percent from $2.0 billion in the second quarter of fiscal year 2007. Internal, or non- acquisition, growth represented 8 percentage points of the consolidated growth for the quarter. Key drivers of internal growth include the start-up of the global positioning system contract, increased sales of border and port security and emergency responder equipment, and greater activity in our system engineering and integration business.
Operating income for the quarter was $173 million (7.8 percent of revenue), up 15 percent from $151 million (7.6 percent of revenue) in the second quarter of fiscal year 2007. Operating income benefited from increased profitability of $12 million on many cost reimbursable contracts as a result of improved management of prior year indirect cost overruns, increased sales of highly profitable border and port security products, improved fees on several large programs, and continued efforts to streamline administrative and management activities. Operating improvement came despite increased spending on business development and internal research and development and an $8 million expense to remediate data security lapses on a customer contract.
Income from continuing operations for the quarter was $99 million, down 1 percent from $100 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2007. The decrease in income from continuing operations despite the $22 million increase in operating income primarily results from a $19 million decrease in interest income due to the payment of the $2.45 billion special dividend in November 2006.
Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations for the quarter were $0.24, down 17 percent from $0.29 in the second quarter of fiscal year 2007, driven by the higher share count compared to the prior year. The diluted share count for the quarter was 418 million, up 22 percent from 342 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2007 as a result of the 86.25 million shares issued in the October 2006 IPO.
Diluted earnings per share, which include discontinued operations, were $0.31 for the quarter, up 3 percent from $0.30 in the second quarter of fiscal year 2007, primarily as a result of the $31 million pre-tax gain in discontinued operations on the portion of the business disposed of in the AMSEC reorganization transaction.
Cash Generation and Capital Deployment
The company generated $257 million in cash flow from operations during the quarter, up 22 percent from $211 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2007. The increase in cash flow from operations is in part due to decreases during the quarter in days sales outstanding from 73 to 64 days.
During the quarter, the company used a total of $78 million to repurchase 3.6 million shares under the stock repurchase program and .7 million shares in privately negotiated transactions or other recurring repurchases from employees in settlement of withholding taxes associated with stock option exercises and vesting events.
Mark Sopp, SAIC chief financial officer commented, "In the second quarter, our core business showed improved profitability and excellent cash flow. We are also pleased with our discipline in deploying cash flow wisely to improve shareholder value, both through increased share repurchases during the quarter and the Benham acquisition at the beginning of the third quarter."
New Business Awards
Net new business bookings totaled $1.9 billion in the second quarter of fiscal year 2008, representing a book-to-bill ratio of 0.9. Net bookings are calculated as the current period ending backlog plus the current period's revenue less prior period ending backlog and backlog obtained in acquisitions. No bookings value is assigned unless the company has received a signed contract for a priced statement of work.
The largest competitive definite delivery contract received during the quarter was:
-- Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Information Technology (IT) Operations and Maintenance Support. SAIC won a single task order from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to provide ICE with comprehensive enterprise IT support services to manage its IT infrastructure and field operations support at over 550 sites with more than 19,000 end-users worldwide. Awarded under the Enterprise Acquisition Gateway for Leading Edge Solutions (EAGLE) program, the time and materials task order is one year with two one-year options for a ceiling value of $85 million.
In addition, SAIC also won several indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contracts that are not included in the bookings total. Notable IDIQ awards during the quarter include:
-- Supply Chain Management for Chemicals and Petroleum, Oils and Lubricants (POLs). SAIC will manage the supply chain of chemicals and packaged POLs for the Department of Defense under a firm-fixed-price single-award IDIQ contract with a ceiling value of $6.2 billion over 10 years if the customer exercises all options. The single-award contract with the Defense Supply Center -- Richmond was awarded in May and a protest of the award was denied in August.
-- Fleet Forces Tactical Training Support. SAIC won this recompete of a five-year, $172 million single-award IDIQ to provide training support to U.S. Fleet Forces and Atlantic Fleet training commands. Training services include live, virtual and constructive training events; classroom instruction and curriculum development; training metric development; data collection, reconstruction and analysis; and staff support in the areas of training policy and management.
-- Commander, Operational Test and Evaluation Force (COTEF) Support Services. SAIC won a five-year, $115 million IDIQ contract to provide technical and analytical support to the COTEF in the definition, conduct, and analysis of structured integrated operational and integrated test and evaluation of U.S. Navy systems. This win represents a new opportunity for the company and expands its footprint in the Tidewater region of Virginia.
-- Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center, Charleston (SSCC) Technology Services. SAIC's Eagan, McAllister Associates, Inc. (EMA) subsidiary won a single-award IDIQ contract from SSCC with a ceiling value of $91 million over five years. EMA will provide advanced technology services including systems engineering, integration and technical support; program and configuration management; network security systems engineering, and training and procurement support. EMA also will support information assurance certification, test, and evaluation; integrated logistics support and life cycle support; security sustainment services; and security operations as required by Space and Naval Warfare Command (SPAWAR).
The company's backlog of signed business orders at the end of the second quarter of fiscal year 2008 was $14.1 billion, of which $4.5 billion was funded. The negotiated unfunded backlog of $9.6 billion represents the estimated amount to be earned in the future from firm orders for which funding has not been appropriated or otherwise authorized and unexercised priced contract options. Negotiated backlog does not include any estimate of future expected task orders to be awarded under IDIQ or other master agreement contract vehicles.
