SAIC Announces Financial Results for First Quarter Fiscal Year 2008
- Revenues: Up 6 percent to $2.1 billion
- Operating Income: Down 1 percent to $140 million
- Diluted EPS from Continuing Operations: Down 33 percent to $0.18
SAN DIEGO and MCLEAN, Va., June 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- SAIC, Inc. (NYSE: SAI), a leading provider of research, engineering, and technology services and solutions, today announced financial results for the first quarter of fiscal year 2008, which ended April 30, 2007.
"Thanks to the hard work of our 44,000 employees, the company is off to a good start for the year," said Ken Dahlberg, SAIC chairman and chief executive officer. "The company met its financial objectives for the quarter and is on track to achieve all of the metrics contained in the company's guidance for the year. In addition, the enactment of the supplemental spending bill in May should allow our primary customers to fund their critical missions."
Summary Operating Results
Revenues for the quarter were $2.1 billion, up 6 percent from $2.0 billion in the first quarter of fiscal year 2007. Internal, or non-acquisition, growth represented 2 percentage points of the consolidated growth for the quarter.
Operating income for the quarter was $140 million (6.8 percent of revenue), down 1 percent from $142 million (7.3 percent of revenue) in the first quarter of fiscal year 2007. The year-over-year decrease in operating margin was primarily caused by the timing of business development and internal research and development spending, which is forecast to be consistent throughout fiscal year 2008 but was weighted toward the second half of fiscal year 2007.
Income from continuing operations for the quarter was $77 million, down 17 percent from $93 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2007. The decrease in income from continuing operations results primarily from a $15 million decrease in interest income and a 3.6 percentage point increase in the effective tax rate. Interest income declined year-over-year in response to declines in average cash and investment balances due to the payment of the $2.45 billion special dividend in November 2006. The tax rate in the first quarter of fiscal year 2007 was lower than normal as a result of the reversal of certain tax contingencies; the tax rate in the first quarter of fiscal year 2008 represents a more normative rate of 40 percent.
Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations for the quarter were $0.18, down 33 percent from $0.27 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2007, driven by the decrease in income from continuing operations and a higher share count compared to the prior year. The diluted share count for the quarter was 418 million, up 20 percent from 347 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2007 as a result of the 86.25 million shares issued in the October 2006 initial public offering (IPO).
Diluted earnings per share, which include discontinued operations, were $0.19 for the quarter, down 39 percent from $0.31 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2007. Discontinued operations include the majority owned subsidiary ANX, which was sold in the third quarter of fiscal year 2007, and Telcordia, which was sold in the first quarter of fiscal year 2006.
Cash Generation and Capital Deployment
The company used $134 million of cash flow in support of operations during the quarter, compared to generating $79 million in cash flow from operations in the first quarter of fiscal year 2007. The decrease in cash flow from operations is in part due to increases during the quarter in the settlement of payables and accrued expenses and in days sales outstanding from 69 to 73 days. The decrease was also attributable to the year-over-year shift from equity to cash of certain bonus payments and retirement plan contributions, timing differences in payments for Employee Stock Purchase Plan and retirement plan activities, and the recategorization of tax benefits received on stock option exercises and other stock awards from cash flow from operations to cash flow from financing activities effective with the October 2006 IPO-related reorganization merger as required by SFAS 123( R ). In general, cash flow from operations is lowest in the first quarter because the company pays its annual bonuses for the prior year in March.
During the quarter, the company used a total of $94 million to repurchase 2.5 million shares under the 40-million share stock repurchase program and 2.7 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. Share count guidance given by the company expressly assumes no future repurchases under the repurchase program but includes an estimate for other recurring repurchases from employees.
New Business Awards
Net new business bookings totaled $1.5 billion in the first quarter of fiscal year, representing a book-to-bill ratio of 0.7. Net bookings reflect net additions to backlog, derived by taking the change in backlog plus revenue recognized for the period. No bookings value is assigned unless the company has received a signed contract for a priced statement of work. Quarterly net bookings were diminished by $300 million to reflect that the company received notice that a customer intends to move certain tasks from a definite delivery contract to existing indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contracts. Without this contract category change, net bookings would have been $1.8 billion, yielding a book-to-bill ratio of 0.9.
Notable highlights of competitive definite delivery contracts received during the quarter include:
- Global Positioning System Wing (GPSW) Systems Engineering and Integration (SE&I). SAIC won a five-year, $212 million contract to provide SE&I services in support of the GPSW. SAIC will produce and maintain the technical baseline for a dynamic and multi-segment program and deliver a broad range of services, including integration management, engineering process control and improvement, system security, program certification, specialty engineering, logistics, quality assurance, and risk management.
- Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) Electronic Warfare Technical Services. Under a five-year, $122 million cost-plus-award-fee task order, SAIC will provide engineering, technical, and programmatic support services for surface and airborne electronic warfare to the NSWC, Crane Division.
- Space and Naval Warfare (SPAWAR) Navy Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Systems. SAIC won a three-year, $22 million task order from the SPAWAR Systems Center, Charleston (SSCC) to support the deployment of the Navy ERP Systems, Applications and Products common business solution. SAIC support includes project and financial management, business processes and information, communications and organizational change management, quality assurance, testing, training, helpdesk management, technical environment, business realization, and balanced scorecard/Lean Six Sigma processes.
In addition to these definite delivery awards, SAIC also won several IDIQ contracts that are not included in the bookings total. Notable IDIQ awards during the quarter include:
- U.S. Air Force, Pacific Air Forces (PACAF) Support Services. SAIC won a five-year, $394 million time-and-materials contract from PACAF to provide a full range of engineering and technical support services. Under this recompeted master contract, SAIC will continue to support systems for PACAF command, control, computers, intelligence, wargaming and force protection.
- Military Ground Tires Supply Chain Management (Michelin). SAIC won a single award, firm-fixed-price contract from Michelin North America to help supply ground tires to the U.S. military through the Defense Supply Center-Columbus (DSCC). Under the ten-year, $300 million contract, SAIC will manage the wholesale supply, storage, and distribution functions, contributing supply chain management expertise in forecasting, inventory management, and worldwide distribution.
- General Services Administration (GSA) Networx Universal Program. SAIC is a key subcontractor to Qwest Communications International Inc. on the GSA Networx Universal program, which has an estimated value of $20 billion and ceiling of $48.1 billion over 10 years. Qwest is one of three companies to receive a Networx Universal prime contract. SAIC will provide managed security services, managed tiered security services, customer specific design and engineering services, managed hosting services, transition services, and other related professional services.
- U.S. Army Chemical Materials Agency (CMA) Technical Services. SAIC was one of three companies awarded a contract to provide technical services to the U.S. Army CMA with a five-year period of performance and a $62 million ceiling. Under this recompeted contract, SAIC will continue to provide engineering design; chemical agent, industrial chemical and pollutant monitoring; technical analysis; quality assurance; safety, security, and surety; training and testing to support CMA's mission of storing and disposing chemicals in a safe and environmentally sound manner.
The company's backlog of signed business orders at the end of the first quarter of fiscal year 2008 was over $14.5 billion, of which $4.8 billion was funded. The negotiated unfunded backlog of $9.7 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 unfunded backlog does not include any estimate of future potential task orders that might be awarded under IDIQ or other master agreement contract vehicles.
