First Quarter Summary Results

Revenues for the quarter increased $121 million, or 6.9%, compared to the prior year quarter due to the acquisition of Unisys Federal (which occurred in the middle of the first quarter of the prior year period), increased volume on existing programs, and revenue on new contracts primarily supporting the U.S. Air Force, partially offset by the completion of certain contracts. Adjusting for the impact of acquired revenues and divested revenues, revenues grew 2.6% primarily due to net increases in program volume and new awards. We estimate the first quarter program impact from the COVID-19 pandemic to be approximately $33 million of revenue, primarily driven by reduced volume in our supply chain business, lower FAA training service revenues, and uncertain profit recovery on ready-state labor.

Operating income as a percentage of revenues of 6.9%, increased from 4.4% in the comparable prior year period due to lower acquisition and integration costs, improved profitability across our contract portfolio, the acquisition of Unisys Federal (which occurred in the middle of the first quarter of the prior year period), lower indirect costs due to timing, and benefit from a net favorable settlement of prior indirect rate years, partially offset by increased intangible asset amortization.

Adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾ as a percentage of revenues for the quarter increased to 9.8% of revenues from 7.8% of revenues in the prior year quarter primarily due to a net increase in profitability across our existing contract portfolio, the acquisition of Unisys Federal (which occurred in the middle of the first quarter of the prior year period), lower indirect costs due to timing, and benefit from a net favorable settlement of prior indirect rate years. We estimate the first quarter program impact from the COVID-19 pandemic to be approximately $4 million of adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾.

Diluted earnings per share for the quarter was $1.38 compared to $0.62 in the prior year quarter. Adjusted diluted earnings per share⁽¹⁾ for the quarter was $1.94 compared to $1.38 in the prior year quarter. The weighted-average diluted shares outstanding during the quarter increased to 58.7 million from 58.5 million during the prior year quarter.

Cash Generation and Capital Deployment

Cash flows provided by operating activities for the first quarter were $189 million, a decrease of $178 million compared to the prior year quarter, primarily due to a decrease in net cash received under the MARPA Facility ($185 million).

Free cash flow⁽¹⁾ for the first quarter which excludes the impact from the MARPA Facility, increased by $6 million from the prior year quarter to $164 million.

During the quarter, SAIC deployed $71 million of capital, consisting of $39 million of plan share repurchases, $22 million in cash dividends, and $10 million of capital expenditures. In addition, SAIC made $23 million of mandatory debt repayment in the first quarter.

Quarterly Dividend Declared

Subsequent to the end of the quarter, the Company's Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.37 per share of the Company's common stock payable on July 30, 2021 to stockholders of record on July 16, 2021. SAIC intends to continue paying dividends on a quarterly basis, although the declaration of any future dividends will be determined by the Board of Directors each quarter and will depend on earnings, financial condition, capital requirements and other factors.

⁽¹⁾Non-GAAP measure, see Schedule 5 for information about this measure.

Backlog and Contract Awards

Net bookings for the quarter were approximately $4.2 billion, which reflects a book-to-bill ratio of 2.2 and a trailing twelve months book-to-bill ratio of 2.0. SAIC’s estimated backlog at the end of the quarter was approximately $24 billion. Of the total backlog amount, approximately $3.3 billion was funded.

SAIC was awarded the following contracts during the quarter:

Intent to Acquire Halfaker and Associates

As announced in a separate release today, SAIC has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Halfaker and Associates, LLC, a leading federal health technology solutions provider, for $250 million in cash, growing the company's digital transformation portfolio. The transaction is expected to close by the end of SAIC's second quarter of fiscal year 2022, ending July 30, 2021, subject to customary closing conditions.

Other Notable News

Acquisition of Koverse: As previously announced, SAIC entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Koverse, a software company that provides a data management platform enabling artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning on complex, sensitive data. The acquisition closed subsequent to the end of the first quarter, at the beginning of the second quarter of fiscal year 2022.

Fiscal Year 2022 Guidance

As a result of the Company's year-to-date performance and future expectations, including expected impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company is updating previously provided fiscal year 2022 guidance. The guidance assumes expected negative COVID-19 impact of approximately $150 million in revenue and approximately $10 million in adjusted EBITDA. The guidance also assumes that support currently provided under Section 3610 of the CARES Act continues through the end of fiscal year 2022 (January 28, 2022) and excludes the announced acquisition of Halfaker and Associates, LLC. The table below summarizes fiscal year 2022 guidance and represents our views as of June 3, 2021.

GAAP to Non-GAAP Guidance Reconciliation

The Company does not provide a reconciliation of forward-looking adjusted diluted EPS to GAAP diluted EPS or adjusted EBITDA margin to GAAP net income due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliation, including, but not limited to, amortization of acquired intangible assets and acquisition, integration and restructuring costs. As a result, the Company is not able to forecast GAAP diluted EPS or GAAP net income with reasonable certainty. The variability of the above charges may have an unpredictable and potentially significant impact on our future GAAP financial results.

Funded backlog	$	3,319			$	3,024
Negotiated unfunded backlog	20,543				18,524
Total backlog	$	23,862			$	21,548

Backlog represents the estimated amount of future revenues to be recognized under negotiated contracts and task orders as work is performed and excludes contract awards which have been protested by competitors until the protest is resolved in our favor. SAIC segregates backlog into two categories, funded backlog and negotiated unfunded backlog. Funded backlog for contracts with government agencies primarily represents contracts for which funding is appropriated less revenues previously recognized on these contracts, and does not include the unfunded portion of contracts where funding is incrementally appropriated or authorized by the U.S. government and other customers even though the contract may call for performance over a number of years. Funded backlog for contracts with non-government agencies represents the estimated value of contracts which may cover multiple future years under which SAIC is obligated to perform, less revenues previously recognized on these contracts. Negotiated unfunded backlog represents the estimated future revenues to be earned from negotiated contracts for which funding has not been appropriated or authorized, and unexercised priced contract options. Negotiated unfunded backlog does not include any estimate of future potential task orders expected to be awarded under indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ), U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) schedules or other master agreement contract vehicles.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
(Unaudited)

This schedule describes the non-GAAP financial measures included in this earnings release. While we believe that these non-GAAP financial measures may be useful in evaluating our financial information, they should be considered as supplemental in nature and not as a substitute for financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliations, definitions, and how we believe these measures are useful to management and investors are provided below. Other companies may define similar measures differently.

EBITDA is a performance measure that is calculated by taking net income and excluding interest and loss on sale of receivables, provision for income taxes, and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted operating income are performance measures that exclude acquisition and integration costs and restructuring costs that we do not consider to be indicative of our ongoing operating performance. The acquisition and integration costs relate to the Company's significant acquisitions of Unisys Federal and Engility. The recovery of acquisition and integration costs relate to costs recovered through the Company's indirect rates in accordance with Cost Accounting Standards. We believe that these performance measures provide management and investors with useful information in assessing trends in our ongoing operating performance and may provide greater visibility in understanding the long-term financial performance of the Company.

Net effect of amortization of intangible assets, divided by diluted WASO	0.42				0.36
Adjusted diluted earnings per share(1)	$	1.94			$	1.38

Adjusted diluted earnings per share is a performance measure that excludes acquisition and integration costs and restructuring costs that we do not consider to be indicative of our ongoing operating performance. The acquisition and integration costs relate to the Company's recent acquisitions of Unisys Federal and Engility. The acquisition and integration costs are net of the portion of costs recovered through the Company's indirect rates in accordance with Cost Accounting Standards. Adjusted diluted earnings per share also excludes amortization of intangible assets because we do not have a history of significant acquisition activity, we do not acquire businesses on a predictable cycle, and the amount of an acquisition's purchase price allocated to intangible assets and the related amortization term are unique to each acquisition. We believe that this performance measure provides management and investors with useful information in assessing trends in our ongoing operating performance and may provide greater visibility in understanding the long-term financial performance of the Company.

Free cash flow is calculated by taking cash flows provided by operating activities less expenditures for property, plant, and equipment and less cash flows from our Master Accounts Receivable Purchasing Agreement (MARPA Facility) for the sale of certain designated eligible U.S. government receivables. Under the MARPA Facility, the Company can sell eligible receivables up to a maximum amount of $300 million. We believe that free cash flow provides management and investors with useful information in assessing trends in our cash flows and in comparing them to other peer companies, many of whom present a similar non-GAAP liquidity measure. This measure should not be considered as a measure of residual cash flow available for discretionary purposes.
