Second Quarter Summary Results

Revenues for the quarter decreased $5 million compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to contract completions, one fewer working day compared to the prior year period, lower net favorable changes in contract estimates, and higher accelerated amortization on certain off-market liability contracts during the prior year period, partially offset by ramp up on new and existing contracts and the acquisition of Halfaker (approximately $30 million). Adjusting for the impact of acquired and divested revenues, revenues contracted 1.8%.

Operating income as a percentage of revenues decreased from the comparable prior year period primarily due to lower net favorable changes in contract estimates, higher accelerated amortization on certain off-market liability contracts during the prior year period, and higher indirect costs in the current year period, partially offset by lower acquisition and integration costs and higher benefit from net favorable settlement of prior indirect rate years in the current year period.

Adjusted EBITDA(1) as a percentage of revenues for the quarter decreased to 9.1% from 10.1% for the same period in the prior year primarily due to lower net favorable changes in contract estimates, higher revenue resulting from accelerated amortization on certain off-market liability contracts during the prior year period, and higher indirect costs in the current year period, partially offset by higher benefit from net favorable settlement of prior indirect rate years in the current year period.

Diluted earnings per share for the quarter was $1.30 compared to $1.41 in the prior year quarter. Adjusted diluted earnings per share(1) for the quarter was $1.75 compared to $1.97 in the prior year quarter. The weighted-average diluted shares outstanding during the quarter decreased to 55.9 million from 58.4 million during the prior year quarter.

Cash Generation and Capital Deployment

Cash flows provided by operating activities for the second quarter were $141 million, an increase of $49 million compared to the prior year quarter, primarily due to higher cash provided by the MARPA Facility, partially offset by timing of customer collections.

Free cash flow(1) for the second quarter decreased by $11 million from the prior year quarter to $74 million, primarily due to timing of customer collections.

During the quarter, SAIC deployed $89 million of capital, consisting of $62 million of plan share repurchases, $20 million in cash dividends, and $7 million of capital expenditures.

Debt Refinancing

During the quarter, SAIC executed a successful refinancing of its Credit Agreement, consolidating some existing loans into an upsized $1.23 billion 5-year Term Facility maturing June 2027 and increasing the Revolving Credit Commitment from $400 million to $1.0 billion. The refinancing reduced the applicable interest rate margins under the Term Facility to a range from 0.75% to 1.75% per annum for SOFR loans, resulting in initial interest savings of 0.50%. Incremental proceeds of $400 million of were used to repay a portion of the higher interest rate Term Loan B Facility due October 2025. The transaction was recognized by Bloomberg for the inclusion of three minority-owned banks that joined SAIC’s syndicated bank group and committed capital to the refinancing.

Quarterly Dividend Declared

As previously announced, 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 October 28, 2022 to stockholders of record on October 14, 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.
