Leidos Holdings, Inc. Reports Third Quarter Fiscal Year 2018 Results

RESTON, Va., Oct. 25, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Leidos Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: LDOS), a FORTUNE 500(® )science and technology leader, today reported financial results for the third quarter of fiscal year 2018.

Roger Krone, Leidos Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented: "Revenue growth, robust bookings, and the record backlog position achieved during the third quarter demonstrate a continued build of our growth trajectory. We were successful in translating this growth into value for our shareholders through higher levels of profits and cash. We will continue to deploy excess cash in a thoughtful and disciplined manner."

Summary Results

Revenues for the quarter were $2.58 billion, compared to $2.50 billion in the prior year quarter, reflecting a 2.9% increase.

Operating income for the quarter was $203 million, compared to $151 million in the prior year quarter. Operating income margin increased to 7.9% from 6.0% in the prior year quarter, primarily due to decreases in amortization of intangible assets and integration and restructuring costs. Non-GAAP operating income margin for the quarter was 10.2%, same as in the prior year quarter.

Diluted earnings per share ("EPS") attributable to Leidos common stockholders for the quarter was $0.96, compared to $0.53 in the prior year quarter. Non-GAAP diluted EPS for the quarter was $1.14, compared to $0.95 in the prior year quarter. The weighted average diluted share count for the quarter was 153 million compared to 154 million in the prior year quarter.

Defense Solutions

Defense Solutions revenues for the quarter of $1,249 million increased by $48 million, or 4.0%, compared to the prior year quarter. The revenue increase was primarily attributable to ramp up of volumes from new programs, partially offset by the completion of certain contracts.

Defense Solutions operating income margin for the quarter was 7.0%, compared to 6.7% in the prior year quarter. On a non-GAAP basis, operating income margin for the quarter was 8.4%, same as in the prior year quarter.

Civil

Civil revenues for the quarter of $882 million increased by $44 million, or 5.3%, compared to the prior year quarter. The revenue increase was primarily due to ramp up of volumes from new programs, a net increase in program volumes and higher net profit write-ups in the current year quarter, partially offset by the completion of certain contracts.

Civil operating income margin for the quarter was 10.5%, compared to 6.0% in the prior year quarter. On a non-GAAP basis, operating income margin for the quarter was 13.3%, compared to 11.2% in the prior year quarter, primarily attributable to higher net profit write-ups in the current year quarter.

Health

Health revenues for the quarter of $444 million decreased by $20 million, or 4.3%, compared to the prior year quarter. The revenue decrease was primarily attributable to the completion of certain contracts and a lower level of commercial health revenues, partially offset by a net increase in program volumes.

Health operating income margin for the quarter was 11.7%, compared to 13.6% in the prior year quarter. On a non-GAAP basis, operating income margin for the quarter was 14.2%, compared to 16.4% in the prior year quarter, primarily attributable to the completion of certain contracts.

Cash Flow Summary

Net cash provided by operating activities for the quarter was $371 million compared to $267 million in the prior year quarter. The increase was primarily due to proceeds received from the termination of interest rate swaps and lower payments for taxes and integration and restructuring costs.

Net cash provided by investing activities for the quarter was $15 million compared to $19 million net cash used in investing activities in the prior year quarter. The increase in cash inflows was primarily due to receipt of proceeds from settlement of a promissory note.

Net cash used in financing activities for the quarter was $134 million compared to $174 million in the prior year quarter. The decrease was primarily due to lower debt payments, partially offset by higher stock repurchases.

As of September 28, 2018, the Company had $515 million in cash and cash equivalents and $3.0 billion of debt.

New Business Awards

Net bookings totaled $4.6 billion in the quarter, representing a book-to-bill ratio of 1.8.

Notable recent awards received include:

    --  Air Force: The Company was awarded a prime contract by the U.S. Airforce
        Sustainment Center to provide single-point integration services for F-16
        fighter jet avionics shops. Under the contract, Leidos will be an
        independent non-manufacturing product support integrator for the Air
        Force's F-16 avionics shops that perform maintenance on the electronics
        of the fighter aircraft. Additional services provided include the
        sustainment and procurement of test program set system hardware and
        software and management of automated test equipment components and
        support equipment for the F-16. The single award, indefinite
        delivery/indefinite quantity contract has a three-year base period, two
        one-year option periods and a total award ceiling of $620 million, if
        all option years are exercised.


    --  Social Security Administration: The Company was awarded a task order by
        the Social Security Administration ("SSA") to support its Office of
        Software Engineering program, which has a mission to improve the ability
        to deliver better software faster and more economically. Under the task
        order, which was issued under its recently awarded Information
        Technology Support Services Contract ("ITSSC") IDIQ with the SSA, Leidos
        will support full lifecycle software development activities that also
        includes the Agency's IT Modernization efforts that will ultimately
        improve service to the American public. The task order has a potential
        value of $468 million, with a period of performance through 2022, if all
        option years are exercised.
    --  Intelligence Community: The Company was awarded contracts valued at
        approximately $2.0 billion, if all options are exercised, by U.S.
        national security and intelligence clients. Though the specific nature
        of these contracts is classified, they all encompass mission-critical
        services that help to counter global threats and strengthen national
        security.

The Company's backlog at the end of the quarter was $20.3 billion, of which $6.2 billion was funded.

Forward Guidance

As a result of the Company's year-to-date performance and updated expectations, the Company is revising its fiscal year 2018 guidance as follows:

    --  Revenues of $10.1 billion to $10.3 billion versus the prior range of
        $10.25 billion to $10.65 billion;


    --  Adjusted EBITDA margins of 10.2% to 10.4% versus the prior range of
        10.1% to 10.4%;


    --  Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $4.20 to $4.40 versus the prior
        range of $4.15 to $4.50; and
    --  Cash flows provided by operating activities at or above $775 million, up
        from previous guidance of at or above $675 million.

Non-GAAP diluted EPS excludes amortization of acquired intangible assets, asset impairment charges, integration and restructuring costs, amortization of equity method investments, loss on sale of assets, tax adjustments on assets held for sale and other tax adjustments. See Leidos' non-GAAP financial measures and the related reconciliation to GAAP measures included elsewhere in this release.

The Company does not provide a reconciliation of forward-looking adjusted EBITDA margins (non-GAAP) or non-GAAP diluted EPS to GAAP net income, due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliation. Because certain deductions for non-GAAP exclusions used to calculate projected net income may vary significantly based on actual events, the Company is not able to forecast on a GAAP basis with reasonable certainty all deductions needed in order to provide a GAAP calculation of projected net income at this time. The amounts of these deductions may be material and, therefore, could result in projected GAAP net income and diluted EPS being materially less than projected adjusted EBITDA margins (non-GAAP) and non-GAAP diluted EPS.

                UNAUDITED BACKLOG BY REPORTABLE SEGMENT

                                                                                     
              
                (in millions)




      Backlog represents the estimated amount of future revenues to be recognized under negotiated contracts. Backlog value is based on management's estimates
       about volume of services, availability of customer funding and other factors, and excludes contracts that are under protest. Our estimate of backlog
       comprises both funded and negotiated unfunded backlog. Backlog estimates are subject to change and may be affected by several factors including
       modifications of contracts, non-exercise of options, foreign currency movements, etc.




      Funded backlog for contracts with the U.S. government represents the value on contracts for which funding is appropriated less revenues previously
       recognized on these contracts. Funded backlog for contracts with non-U.S. government entities and commercial customers represents the estimated value on
       contracts, which may cover multiple future years, under which Leidos is obligated to perform, less revenue previously recognized on the contracts.




      Negotiated unfunded backlog represents estimated amounts of revenue to be earned in the future from contracts for which funding has not been appropriated
       and unexercised priced contract options. Negotiated unfunded backlog does not include future potential task orders expected to be awarded under
       indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity ("IDIQ"), General Services Administration Schedule or other master agreement contract vehicles, with the
       exception of certain IDIQ contracts where task orders are not competitively awarded and separately priced but instead are used as a funding mechanism,
       and where there is a basis for estimating future revenues and funding on future task orders is anticipated.





     The estimated value of backlog as of the dates presented was as follows:

                                UNAUDITED NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

                               (in millions, except per share amounts)




     The Company uses and refers to non-
      GAAP operating income, non-GAAP
      operating margin, adjusted EBITDA,
      adjusted EBITDA margin and non-GAAP
      EPS, which are not measures of
      financial performance under generally
      accepted accounting principles in the
      U.S. and, accordingly, these measures
      should not be considered in isolation
      or as a substitute for the comparable
      GAAP measures and should be read in
      conjunction with the Company's
      consolidated financial statements
      prepared in accordance with GAAP.




     Management believes that these non-
      GAAP measures provide another measure
      of the Company's results of operations
      and financial condition, including its
      ability to comply with financial
      covenants. These non-GAAP measures
      are frequently used by financial
      analysts covering Leidos and its
      peers. The Company's computation of
      its non-GAAP measures may not be
      comparable to similarly titled
      measures reported by other companies,
      thus limiting their use for
      comparability.




                  Non-GAAP operating income is computed
                   by excluding the following items from
                   net income: (i) non-operating
                   expense, net; and (ii) the following
                   discrete items and the related tax
                   impacts:




                  Integration and restructuring costs -
                   Represents integration, lease
                   termination and severance costs
                   related to the Company's acquisitions.
                   
              
                Amortization
                                         of acquired intangible assets -
                   Represents the amortization of the
                   fair value of the acquired intangible
                   assets.
                   Amortization of equity method
                   investments - Represents the
                   amortization of the fair value of the
                   acquired equity method investments.
                           
              
                Loss
                                                 on sale of assets - Represents the
                   loss on certain sales of real estate.
                   
              
                Asset
                                         impairment charges - Represents
                   impairments of long-lived tangible
                   assets. 
              
                Tax
                   adjustments on assets held for sale -
                   Represents tax benefits related to the
                   Company's commercial cybersecurity
                   business held for sale.
                           
                Other tax
                                       adjustments - Primarily represents the
                   tax impact of the prior year
                   promissory note impairment and revised
                   cumulative impact of the federal
                   government enacted Tax Cuts and Jobs
                   Act.


                  Non-GAAP operating margin is computed
                   by dividing non-GAAP operating income
                   by revenue.




                  Adjusted EBITDA is computed by
                   excluding the following items from
                   income before income taxes: (i)
                   discrete items as identified above;
                   (ii) interest expense; (iii) interest
                   income; and (iv) depreciation expense.




                  Adjusted EBITDA margin is computed by
                   dividing adjusted EBITDA by revenue.




                  Non-GAAP EPS is computed by dividing
                   net income, adjusted for the discrete
                   items as identified above and the
