First Quarter Summary Results

Revenues for the quarter increased $118 million compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to ramp up on new and existing contracts and the acquisition of Halfaker (approximately $42 million), partially offset by contract completions. Adjusting for the impact of acquired revenues and divested revenues, revenues grew 3.9% primarily due to ramp up on new and existing contracts.

Operating income as a percentage of revenues decreased from the comparable prior year period primarily due to higher indirect costs in the current year period and higher benefit from net favorable settlement of prior indirect rate years in the prior year period, partially offset by improved profitability across our contract portfolio.

Adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾ as a percentage of revenues for the quarter decreased to 8.7% from 9.8% for the same period in the prior year primarily due to higher indirect costs in the current year period and higher benefit from net favorable settlement of prior indirect rate years in the prior year period, partially offset by improved profitability across our contract portfolio.

Diluted earnings per share for the quarter was $1.29 compared to $1.38 in the prior year quarter. Adjusted diluted earnings per share⁽¹⁾ for the quarter was $1.88 compared to $1.94 in the prior year quarter. The weighted-average diluted shares outstanding during the quarter decreased to 56.6 million from 58.7 million during the prior year quarter.

Cash Generation and Capital Deployment

Cash flows provided by operating activities for the first quarter were $118 million, a decrease of $71 million compared to the prior year quarter, primarily due to lower net earnings, cash payments during the quarter associated with certain change in control provisions related to the acquisition of Halfaker, and timing of customer collections and vendor disbursements.

Free cash flow⁽¹⁾ for the first quarter decreased by $51 million from the prior year quarter to $113 million, primarily due to lower net earnings, cash payments during the quarter associated with certain change in control provisions related to the acquisition of Halfaker, and timing of customer collections and vendor disbursements.

During the quarter, SAIC deployed $95 million of capital, consisting of $68 million of plan share repurchases, $22 million in cash dividends, and $5 million of capital expenditures. In addition, SAIC made $59 million of mandatory debt repayment in the first quarter.

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

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 29, 2022 to stockholders of record on July 15, 2022. 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.

Share Repurchase Authorization Increased

SAIC today announced that its Board of Directors has authorized an increase to its existing stock repurchase authorization of the Company's common stock under an existing stock repurchase program. The current authorization increases the repurchase program by 8.0 million shares in order to make available for repurchase an aggregate of approximately 8.8 million shares.

Backlog and Contract Awards

Net bookings for the quarter were approximately $2.0 billion, which reflects a book-to-bill ratio of 1.0 and a trailing twelve months book-to-bill ratio of 1.0. SAIC’s estimated backlog at the end of the quarter was approximately $24.1 billion. Of the total backlog amount, approximately $3.2 billion was funded.

Notable Recompete Awards:

Air Force Space and Missile Systems Center: SAIC was awarded a $390 million task order by the General Services Administration on behalf of the U.S. Space Force / Space Systems Command to continue providing systems engineering and integration services to help modernize the nation's Global Positioning System (GPS) program.

U.S. Space and Intelligence Community: SAIC was awarded $337 million of contract awards by space and intelligence community organizations.

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.

The estimated value of our total backlog as of the dates presented was:

	(in millions)
Funded backlog	$	3,218		$	3,491
Negotiated unfunded backlog		20,894			20,601
Total backlog	$	24,112		$	24,092

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, impairments, restructuring costs, and any other material non-recurring costs that we do not consider to be indicative of our ongoing operating performance. The acquisition and integration costs relate to the Company's acquisitions of Halfaker, Koverse, and Unisys Federal. 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.

Adjusted diluted earnings per share is a performance measure that excludes acquisition and integration costs, impairments, restructuring costs, and any other material non-recurring costs that we do not consider to be indicative of our ongoing operating performance. The acquisition and integration costs relate to the Company's acquisitions of Halfaker, Koverse, and Unisys Federal. 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.
