SAN DIEGO and MCLEAN, Va., April 11, 2007 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX News Network/ -- SAIC, Inc. (NYSE: SAI) today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year 2007, which ended January 31, 2007. Revenue, diluted earnings per share, and cash flow from operations exceeded the top end of the guidance ranges provided by the company on its previous earnings release.
"The company completed its 38th year in strong fashion," said Ken Dahlberg, SAIC chairman and chief executive officer. "The growth initiatives and margin expansion plans we described during our recent initial public offering (IPO) are beginning to show results. Our 44,000 employees -- most of whom are shareholders -- are collaborating more effectively to offer the full breadth of services and solutions to our customers."
Summary Operating Results
Revenues for the quarter were $2.1 billion, up 10 percent from $2.0 billion in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2006. Revenues for the year were $8.3 billion, up 7 percent from $7.8 billion in fiscal year 2006. Internal, or non-acquisition, growth represented approximately 7 percentage points of the consolidated growth for the quarter and 4 percentage points of the consolidated growth for the fiscal year.
Operating income for the quarter was $144 million (6.7 percent of revenue), up 10 percent from $131 million (6.7 percent of revenue) in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2006. Full-year operating income was $585 million (7.1 percent of revenue), up 19 percent from $490 million (6.3 percent of revenue) in fiscal year 2006. Operating income for the fourth quarter and full fiscal year 2007 include $8 million and $33 million, respectively, in compensation expenses related to stock options and the company's employee stock purchase program that were not included in the comparable periods for fiscal year 2006 in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 123R. Operating income for the fourth quarter and full fiscal year 2006 reflect $6 million and $83 million, respectively, in contract losses associated with the company's firm fixed-price contract with the Greek government.
Income from continuing operations for the quarter was $85 million, down 36 percent from $132 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2006. Full- year income from continuing operations was $369 million, up 8 percent from $341 million in fiscal year 2006. Year-over-year comparisons of income from continuing operations are not as positive as those from operating income primarily because the fiscal year 2006 tax rates were significantly below the fiscal year 2007 rates. This was due to the reversal of certain tax contingency accruals during fiscal year 2006, which brought the effective tax rate well below a normal rate of about 40 percent. In addition, interest income was lower for the fourth quarter but higher for the year in fiscal year 2007 compared to fiscal year 2006.
Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations for the quarter were $0.20, down 46 percent from $0.37 in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2006, driven by a reduction in interest income, increase in tax expense, and higher share count compared to the prior year. The diluted share count for the quarter was 420 million, up 19 percent from 353 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2006 as a result of the shares issued in the IPO. Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations for the year were $1.01, up 6 percent from $0.95 in fiscal year 2006, even as the diluted share count increased from 359 million to 364 million.
Diluted earnings per share, which include discontinued operations, were $0.20 for the quarter, down 55 percent from $0.44 in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2006. Diluted earnings per share for the year were $1.07, down 59 percent from $2.58 in fiscal year 2006. 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
Cash flow from operations for the quarter was $199 million, down 14 percent from $231 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2006. For the year cash flow from operations was $704 million, up 20 percent from $587 million in fiscal year 2006. As of January 31, 2007, the company had $1.1 billion in cash and cash equivalents and $1.2 billion in long-term debt.
During the quarter the company used a total of $67 million to repurchase 2.4 million shares under the 40-million share stock repurchase program and 1.3 million shares in privately negotiated transactions or to pay withholding taxes associated with stock option exercises and vesting events. Only the repurchases under the stock repurchase plan had not been planned when the company provided guidance on December 12, 2006.
In addition, SAIC completed the following two acquisitions during the fourth quarter for a total cost of $252 million:
- Applied Marine Technology, Inc. (AMTI), a leading provider of services, products and expertise particularly to the special warfare and intelligence communities, including the areas of homeland security and the global war on terrorism. The company brings more than 500 people specializing in training and exercises, systems engineering and integration, information systems and communications, and rapid prototyping of technical solutions.
- AETC Incorporated, which develops acoustic, non-acoustic, radar, and electromagnetic remote sensing techniques and systems for underwater, underground, and above-ground applications. The company's 46 employees are highly skilled in physics, signal processing and systems engineering.
Mark Sopp, SAIC chief financial officer commented, "In fiscal year 2007, our core business showed improved profitability and excellent cash flow. Looking forward, we are focused on internal growth initiatives, continued operating margin expansion, and deploying cash flow and other capital wisely to strengthen our company and increase its value."
New Business Awards
New business bookings totaled $2.7 billion in the fourth quarter and $9.2 billion for the fiscal year, representing a book-to-bill ratio of 1.3 and 1.1 for the fourth quarter and fiscal year, respectively. Bookings reflect net additions to backlog, derived by taking the change in total 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. Notable highlights of competitive single-award delivery order contracts received during the quarter include:
- NATO Theater Missile Defense Systems Engineering and Integration. Under a six-year, $95 million firm-fixed-price contract, SAIC will support the integration of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Active Layered Theater Ballistic Missile Defense capability.
- Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Security Services. SAIC received a five-year, $39 million time-and-material contract from the Security and Technology Policy Branch to continue to provide security services to Customs and Border Protection. SAIC will perform work including certification and accreditation, security risk assessments, security test and evaluation, system architecture, communication security services, and technology policy and administration.
- Cargo and Container Inspection Systems. SAIC received orders for 23 ruggedized mobile VACIS® inspection systems from the U.S. Army Research Lab and three VACIS® P7500 container inspection systems from the DHS. The Military Mobile VACIS® is an all-terrain, self- relocatable non-intrusive inspection system that can perform inspections in remote locations using both bi-directional moving scan and stationary scan modes. The VACIS® P7500 inspection system is a compact, high- energy X-ray-based portal container inspection system that images dense cargo in high-volume throughput operations. This contract supports the Secure Freight Initiative international pilot program and marks a transition to higher penetration and the need for greater systems and data integration.
In addition to these defined delivery awards, 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:
- Enterprise Command and Control Advanced Technology Services (EC2ATS). SAIC will provide a full range of enterprise services and solutions to the Space and Naval Warfare (SPAWAR) Systems Center, Charleston (SSCC) under a single award contract with a potential seven-year term and a ceiling value of $423 million.
- Program and Integration Support. As the sole recipient of a five-year, $250 million ceiling contract from the U.S. Army Research and Development Command Acquisition Center, SAIC will continue to provide program management, integration and site services for the Army's Chemical Materials Agency (CMA). SAIC will support program- and site- level management and integration requirements related to the CMA mission to store and dispose of the U.S. chemical weapons stockpile and non- stockpile material.
- Army Information Technology Enterprise Solutions - 2 Services (ITES-2S). The Army Contract Agency, Information Technology, E-Commerce and Commercial Contracting Center awarded SAIC a prime contract to provide a comprehensive range of IT services to support the Army's enterprise infrastructure and information structure challenges worldwide. This multiple award contract has a potential seven-year period of performance and a total ceiling value for all 16 awardees of $20 billion.
- Joint Test and Evaluation (JT&E). SAIC received one of four awards to provide joint military environment process planning support services to the Department of Defense (DoD) JT&E Program Office. The program maximum for all awardees is $930 million over 10 years.
- Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA) Veterans Health Information Systems and Technology Architecture (VistA). SAIC received one of eight blanket purchase agreement awards representing an aggregate ceiling value of $1 billion over 10 years. Recognized as one of the world's most comprehensive health and clinical support systems, VistA includes over 100 clinical and administrative applications at 157 healthcare facilities and 887 ambulatory care and community-based outpatient clinics.
The company's backlog of signed business orders at the end of fiscal year 2007 was over $15.1 billion, of which $4.8 billion was funded. The negotiated unfunded backlog of $10.3 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.
