Insights
Leidos Holdings, Inc.'s financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year 2023 suggest a robust year-over-year revenue growth of 8% and 7%, respectively. This growth trajectory is indicative of a company that is expanding its market presence, potentially making it an attractive consideration for investors seeking companies with consistent top-line growth. The increased demand across all customer segments, especially within the Health segment, points to a diversification of revenue streams, which can be a hedge against market volatility.
However, the substantial year-over-year decrease in net income and diluted earnings per share (EPS) by 70% and 71%, respectively, raises concerns. This decline is primarily attributed to pre-tax impairment and restructuring charges, which can be seen as a red flag, signaling potential issues within the company's operations or strategy. Investors and stakeholders should closely monitor the company's future earnings reports to assess whether this is a one-time event or indicative of deeper underlying issues.
The cash flow position, with $1.2 billion generated from operations, reflects strong working capital management and operational efficiency. The improvement in Days Sales Outstanding (DSO) also demonstrates an effective receivables collection process. These are positive indicators of the company's liquidity and operational management, which are crucial for sustaining growth and meeting financial obligations.
The forward guidance provided by Leidos for fiscal year 2024, with revenue projections of $15.7 to $16.1 billion and a mid-to-high 10% adjusted EBITDA margin, suggests a confident outlook on the company's performance in the upcoming year. This guidance aligns with their 2021 Investor Day targets, which could reassure stakeholders of the company's commitment to its long-term strategic goals.
Leidos' book-to-bill ratios of 0.7 for the quarter and 1.1 for the year are also noteworthy. A ratio above 1.0 for the year suggests that the company is winning more business than it is billing, which is a positive indicator for future revenue growth. However, the quarterly ratio below 1.0 may require attention to ensure it is not indicative of a slowing trend in contract awards.
The backlog of $37.0 billion, with $8.8 billion funded, provides visibility into future revenues and suggests a stable pipeline of projects. This level of backlog is significant, as it offers a degree of predictability for future financial performance and can be a critical factor for investors assessing the company's growth prospects.
The mention of cash tax payments related to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, which requires the capitalization and amortization of research and development costs, indicates a regulatory impact on the company's cash flows. The actual impact will depend on legislative changes and interpretations by the US Treasury, which introduces an element of uncertainty into the company's financial planning. It is essential for investors to understand these regulatory influences, as they can materially affect the company's cash flows and financial health.
Additionally, Leidos' inability to provide a reconciliation of forward-looking adjusted EBITDA margins or non-GAAP diluted EPS to GAAP measures due to the uncertainty of certain deductions highlights the complexities and potential limitations of relying on non-GAAP financial measures. While these measures can provide additional insight into a company's performance, the lack of reconciliation to GAAP measures should be taken into account when evaluating the company's financial health.

Tom Bell, Leidos Chief Executive Officer, commented: "With a strong finish to the year, Leidos delivered on all of its financial commitments. Record top- and bottom-line performance enabled us to exceed the high end of the guidance ranges that we set last quarter for all metrics. Our financial performance over the last three quarters demonstrates how strongly the team has enhanced its focus on cost controls and cash generation and committed to a "promises made, promises kept" culture. 2024 is going to be another busy and exciting year for Leidos, as we capitalize on our leaner, more focused organizational structure and chart our path to our second decade of growth."

For information regarding adjusted EBITDA margin and non-GAAP diluted EPS, see the related explanations and reconciliations to GAAP measures included elsewhere in this release.
Leidos does not provide a reconciliation of forward-looking adjusted EBITDA margins or non-GAAP diluted EPS to net income margin or diluted EPS, 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, Leidos 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 margin, diluted EPS or net income attributable to Leidos shareholders at this time. The amounts of these deductions may be material and, therefore, could result in projected net income margin, net income attributable to Leidos shareholders and diluted EPS being materially less than projected adjusted EBITDA margins 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. Estimated 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 and foreign currency movements.
Funded backlog for contracts with the
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 unexercised option periods and future potential task orders expected to be awarded under 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 or separately priced but instead are used as a funding mechanism, and where there is a basis for estimating future revenues and funding on future anticipated task orders.

UNAUDITED NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
Leidos uses and refers to organic revenues, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating margin, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, non-GAAP diluted EPS, free cash flow and free cash flow conversion, which are not measures of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles in the
Management believes that these non-GAAP measures provide another measure of the 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 computation of non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies, thus limiting their use for comparability.
Organic revenues captures the revenue that is inherent in the underlying business excluding the impact of acquisitions and divestitures made within the prior year; it is computed as current revenues excluding revenues from acquisitions within the last 12 months and divestitures within the current and year-ago periods.
Non-GAAP operating income is computed by excluding the following discrete items from operating income:
- Acquisition, integration and restructuring costs – Represents acquisition, integration, lease termination and severance costs related to acquisitions.
- Amortization of acquired intangible assets – Represents the amortization of the fair value of the acquired intangible assets.
- Derivative loss – Represents the fair value loss associated with the foreign currency forward contract to hedge the preliminary purchase price for the
Cobham acquisition in Australian dollars. - Goodwill impairment charges – Represents impairments of goodwill due to changes in actual performance against performance projected when the goodwill was acquired.
- Asset impairment charges – Represents impairments of long-lived assets.
Non-GAAP operating margin is computed by dividing non-GAAP operating income by revenues.
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; (iv) depreciation expense; and (v) amortization of internally developed intangible assets.
Adjusted EBITDA margin is computed by dividing adjusted EBITDA by revenues.
Non-GAAP net income is computed by excluding the discrete items listed under non-GAAP operating income and their related tax impacts.
Non-GAAP diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income attributable to Leidos common stockholders, adjusted for the discrete items as identified above and the related tax impacts, by the diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding.
Non-GAAP free cash flow is computed by deducting expenditures for property, equipment and software from net cash provided by operating activities.
Non-GAAP free cash flow conversion is computed by dividing free cash flow by non-GAAP net income attributable to Leidos common stockholders; operating cash flow conversion is computed by dividing net cash provided by operating activities by net income attributable to Leidos shareholders.

UNAUDITED HISTORICAL FINANCIAL MEASURES
Background
Beginning in fiscal 2024, Leidos will operate in four reportable segments that are focused on specific, defined capability sets delivered to customers:
National Security and Digital—provides technology enabled services and mission software capabilities for defense and intelligence customers in the areas of cyber, logistics, security operations and decision analytics, as well as IT operations and digital transformation programs across all
Health & Civil—will deliver customer solutions with unique capabilities in the areas of public health, care coordination, life and environmental sciences and transportation.
Commercial & International—encompasses our security enterprise solution and commercial energy offerings, as well as our
Defense Systems—includes programs to develop and produce advanced space, aerial, surface and sub-surface manned and un-manned Defense Systems.
We have prepared unaudited historical consolidated financial information based on the new reporting structure set forth below, which includes certain non-GAAP measures. Management believes that these non-GAAP measures provide another representation of the 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 computation of non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies, thus limiting their use for comparability.
