Second Quarter Summary Results

Revenues for the quarter decreased $47 million or 3% compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to the sale of the logistics and supply chain management business (Supply Chain Business) ($149 million), the deconsolidation of the Forfeiture Support Associates J.V. (FSA) ($34 million), and contract completions, partially offset by ramp up on existing and new contracts. Adjusting for the impact of the divestiture of the Supply Chain Business and the deconsolidation of FSA, revenues grew 8.3%.

Operating income as a percentage of revenues increased from the comparable prior year period primarily due to the gain recognized from the sale of the Supply Chain Business, improved profitability across our contract portfolio, and lower indirect costs.

Adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾ as a percentage of revenues for the quarter increased to 9.8% from 9.1% for the same period in the prior year primarily due to improved profitability across our contract portfolio and lower indirect costs.

Diluted earnings per share for the quarter was $4.56 compared to $1.30 in the prior year quarter. Adjusted diluted earnings per share⁽¹⁾ for the quarter was $2.05 compared to $1.75 in the prior year quarter. The weighted-average diluted shares outstanding during the quarter decreased to 53.9 million from 55.9 million during the prior year quarter.

Cash Generation and Capital Deployment

Cash flows provided by operating activities for the second quarter increased $9 million compared to the prior year quarter, primarily due to the timing of payroll payments, partially offset by higher cash provided by the MARPA Facility in the prior year and higher tax payments in the current year.

During the quarter, SAIC deployed $126 million of capital, consisting of $100 million of plan share repurchases, $20 million in cash dividends, and $6 million of capital expenditures.

Sale of Logistics and Supply Chain Management Business

On May 6, 2023, SAIC closed the sale of its logistics and supply chain management business to ASRC Federal Holding Company, LLC for $356 million in cash, including $355 million received at closing and a post-closing adjustment for working capital. The divestiture is consistent with SAIC’s broader strategy to focus on Growth & Technology Accelerants and on innovative, platform-agnostic solutions that add shareholder value. SAIC recorded a preliminary pre-tax gain of $233 million, net of $7 million of transaction costs, which is included within other operating income on the condensed and consolidated statements of income.

Quarterly Dividend Declared

On September 6, 2023, the Company's Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.37 per share of the Company's common stock payable on October 27, 2023 to stockholders of record on October 13, 2023. 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 $0.7 billion, which reflects a book-to-bill ratio of 0.4 and a trailing twelve months book-to-bill ratio of 0.8. SAIC’s estimated backlog at the end of the quarter was approximately $22.5 billion. Of the total backlog amount, approximately $3.7 billion was funded.

Notable New Business Awards:

U.S. Department of Treasury: SAIC was awarded a $1.3 billion seven-year single-award indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract by the Department of the Treasury to provide T-Cloud, a complete range of cloud and professional services. The T-Cloud contract supports Treasury’s adoption and transformation of a multi-cloud environment by centralizing management of the systems infrastructure, platform and software-as-a-service by a single broker. SAIC is responsible for delivering a shared service cloud infrastructure model that provides enterprise-wide efficiencies in access, contracting and security. SAIC will also provide services for business operations, technical, security, network, service desk, subject matter expert support and transition services. Net bookings and backlog for the quarter do not include any value related to T-Cloud. Consistent with the Company's policy, bookings and backlog related to this award will be recognized as the task orders under the IDIQ are received.

Notable Recompete Awards:

Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division: SAIC was awarded a multiple-award IDIQ contract with a $249 million ceiling from the U.S. Navy to continue supporting the Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division (NAWCWD)’s combat instrumentation platforms used for training and test evaluation ranges. Under the new contract, SAIC will perform systems design and integration, hardware and software upgrades or modifications for the Combat Environment Instrumentation Systems (CEIS). SAIC will also provide services to support global position system-based range equipment, airborne electronic warfare (EW) systems, warning & countermeasures systems and range Radio-Frequency/Electro-Optical Tracking systems. The Company will deliver test support and instrumentation for unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and telemetry systems.

Notable Space and Intelligence Community Awards:

U.S. Space and Intelligence Community: During the quarter, SAIC was awarded approximately $520 million of contract awards by space and intelligence community organizations. These awards represent a combination of new business and recompetes.

SAIC was awarded the following contracts subsequent to the end of the quarter which are not included in the current quarter net bookings and book-to-bill:

U.S. Space Force: SAIC was awarded a seven-year, $575 million contract by the United States Space Force to support its Ground Based Radar Maintenance and Sustainment Services (GMASS). Under the contract, SAIC will provide on-going sustainment and modification of the GMASS Contract-covered systems, including Upgraded Early Warning Radars (UEWR), the Precision Acquisition Vehicle Entry (PAVE) Phased Array Warning System (PAWS), and the Perimeter Acquisition Radar Attack Characterization System (PARCS) radars and all associated systems and equipment. In addition to sustaining operational capabilities, the contract will also utilize an integrated roadmap to highlight incremental opportunities and areas for innovation to promote backlog items and improve operational efficiencies. Through this work, SAIC will help further modernize critical missile warning and space domain awareness radars for key Space Force missions.

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. Because certain deductions for non-GAAP exclusions used to calculate net income may vary significantly based on actual events, 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.

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

(2)Current transaction-adjusted free cash flow guidance excludes expected cash tax and other payments of approximately $82M related to the L&SCM sale which will impact cash flows provided by operating activities in the second, third and fourth quarters of fiscal year 2024.

Schedule 4:   SCIENCE APPLICATIONS INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION BACKLOG (Unaudited)   The estimated value of our total backlog as of the dates presented was:
	August 4, 2023				May 5, 2023				February 3, 2023
	(in millions)
Funded backlog	$	3,716			$	3,899			$	3,554
Negotiated unfunded backlog		18,808			$	19,895				20,248
Total backlog	$	22,524			$	23,794			$	23,802

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, 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 anticipated task orders.

Schedule 5:   SCIENCE APPLICATIONS INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION 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, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Operating Income

Adjusted operating income as a percentage of revenues		7.5	%			6.8	%			7.5	%			6.8	%

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 the impact of non-recurring transactions that we do not consider to be indicative of our ongoing operating performance. The acquisition and integration costs relate to the Company's acquisitions. The gain on divestitures includes gains associated with the deconsolidation of FSA and the sale of the logistics and supply chain management business, net of transaction costs. 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(1)	$	2.05			$	1.75			$	4.19			$	3.62

Adjusted diluted earnings per share is a performance measure that excludes the impact of non-recurring transactions that we do not consider to be indicative of our ongoing operating performance. The acquisition and integration costs relate to the Company's acquisitions. The gain on divestitures includes gains associated with the deconsolidation of FSA and the sale of the logistics and supply chain management business, net of transaction costs. 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.

Transaction-adjusted free cash flow(1)		$460 to $480

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. Transaction-adjusted free cash flow excludes cash taxes, transaction fees, and other costs related to the divestiture of the logistics and supply chain management business from free cash flow as previously defined. We believe that free cash flow and transaction-adjusted 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 similar non-GAAP liquidity measures. These measures should not be considered as a measure of residual cash flow available for discretionary purposes.

(1)Non-GAAP measure, see above for definition.
