Operating income for the quarter was $188 million, compared to $101 million in the prior year quarter. Operating income margin increased to 7.1% from 4.0% in the prior year quarter, primarily due to decreases in acquisition, integration and restructuring costs and lower amortization of intangible assets.

Diluted earnings per share ("EPS") attributable to Leidos common stockholders for the quarter was $1.25, compared to $0.74 in the prior year quarter.

Defense Solutions operating income margin for the quarter was 6.4%, compared to 7.0% in the prior year quarter. On a non-GAAP basis, operating margin for the quarter was 7.7%, compared to 9.3% in the prior year quarter, due to lower net profit write-ups compared to the prior year quarter.

Cash Flow Summary

Net cash provided by operating activities for the quarter were $104 million compared to $164 million in the prior year quarter. The lower operating cash inflows were primarily due to the timing of vendor payments, partially offset by lower payments for taxes, integration and restructuring costs.

Net cash used in investing activities for the quarter were $20 million compared to $38 million in the prior year quarter. The lower cash outflows were primarily due to lower purchases of property, plant and equipment.

Net cash used in financing activities for the quarter were $290 million compared to $65 million in the prior year quarter. The increase in financing cash outflows were primarily due to higher stock repurchases, partially offset by timing of debt payments and proceeds received from a real estate financing transaction.

Net cash provided by operating activities for the fiscal year were $768 million compared to $526 million in the prior year. The higher operating cash inflows were primarily due to lower payments for taxes, integration and restructuring costs and proceeds received from the termination of interest rate swaps. This was partially offset by $24 million of cash paid related to the 2016 acquisition of the Information Systems & Global Solutions business (the "IS&GS Business").

Net cash used in investing activities for the fiscal year were $114 million compared to $71 million in the prior year. The higher cash outflows were primarily due to cash paid related to the 2016 acquisition of the IS&GS Business, partially offset by proceeds from the settlement of a promissory note.

Net cash used in financing activities for the fiscal year were $707 million compared to $429 million in in the prior year. The increase in financing cash outflows were primarily due to higher stock repurchases and cash paid related to a tax indemnification liability. This was partially offset by lower debt payments and proceeds received from a real estate financing transaction.

As of December 28, 2018, the Company had $327 million in cash and cash equivalents and $3.1 billion in debt.

New Business Awards

Net bookings totaled $3.2 billion in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2018 and $13.7 billion for fiscal year 2018, representing a book-to-bill ratio of 1.2 and 1.3 for the fourth quarter and fiscal year 2018, respectively.

Notable recent awards received include:

  • Veterans Affairs : The Company was awarded four prime contracts by the U.S Department of Veterans Affairs ("VA") to continue to provide medical disability examinations for the Veterans Benefits Administration. The series of awards is part of the VA initiative to improve disability examinations experiences for Veterans through an efficient and streamlined process. The multiple award, fixed-unit-price, indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contracts have a one-year base period of performance and nine option years with a total estimated ceiling value of approximately $7 billion, if all options are exercised.
  • Office for National Statistics : The Company was awarded a contract by the Office for National Statistics to provide "Questionnaire Management Services" related to the 2021 Census. Under the contract, Leidos will provide integrated services for the production and dissemination of up to 16 million questionnaire packets to households and communal establishments in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. The award has a three-year period of performance and a value of £65 million.
  • U.S. Intelligence Community : The Company was awarded contracts valued at $726 million, if all options are exercised, by U.S. national security and intelligence clients. Though the specific nature of these contracts is classified, they all encompass mission-critical services that help to counter global threats and strengthen national security.

The Company's backlog at the end of fiscal year 2018 was $20.8 billion, of which $6.4 billion was funded.

Forward Guidance

The Company's outlook for fiscal year 2019 is as follows:

  • Revenues of $10.5 billion to $10.9 billion;
  • Adjusted EBITDA margins of 9.9% to 10.1%;
  • Non-GAAP diluted EPS of $4.25 to $4.60; and
  • Cash flows provided by operating activities at or above $725 million.

Non-GAAP diluted EPS excludes amortization of acquired intangible assets, asset impairment charges, acquisition, integration and restructuring costs, amortization of equity method investments, loss on sale of assets, promissory note impairment, tax adjustments on assets held for sale, tax purchase accounting adjustments and other tax adjustments. See Leidos' non-GAAP financial measures and the related reconciliation to GAAP measures included elsewhere in this release.

The Company does not provide a reconciliation of forward-looking adjusted EBITDA margins (non-GAAP) or non-GAAP diluted EPS 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 projected net income may vary significantly based on actual events, the Company 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 at this time. The amounts of these deductions may be material and, therefore, could result in projected GAAP net income and diluted EPS being materially less than projected adjusted EBITDA margins (non-GAAP) and non-GAAP diluted EPS.

LEIDOS HOLDINGS, INC.
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. Our estimate of 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, foreign currency movements, etc.

Funded backlog for contracts with the U.S. government represents the value on contracts for which funding is appropriated less revenues previously recognized on these contracts. Funded backlog for contracts with non-U.S. government entities and commercial customers represents the estimated value on contracts, which may cover multiple future years, under which Leidos is obligated to perform, less revenues previously recognized on the contracts.

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 future potential task orders expected to be awarded under indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity ("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 task orders is anticipated.

The estimated value of backlog as of the dates presented was as follows:

Total backlog at December 28, 2018 included an adverse impact of $171 million when compared to total backlog at December 29, 2017, due to exchange rate movements in the British pound and Australian dollar when compared to the U.S. dollar. Total backlog at December 28, 2018 included $165 million within our Civil segment attributable to our held for sale commercial cybersecurity business.

 

LEIDOS HOLDINGS, INC.
UNAUDITED NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
(in millions, except per share amounts)

The Company uses and refers to non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating margin, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin and non-GAAP diluted EPS, which are not measures of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. and, accordingly, these measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the comparable GAAP measures and should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Management believes that these non-GAAP measures provide another measure of the Company's 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 Company's computation of its non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies, thus limiting their use for comparability.

Non-GAAP operating income is computed by excluding the following items from net income: (i) non-operating expense, net; and (ii) the following discrete items and the related tax impacts:

  • Acquisition, integration and restructuring costs - Represents acquisition, integration, lease termination and severance costs related to the Company's acquisitions.
  • Amortization of acquired intangible assets - Represents the amortization of the fair value of the acquired intangible assets.
  • Amortization of equity method investments - Represents the amortization of the fair value of the acquired equity method investments.
  • Loss on sale of assets - Represents the loss on certain real estate sales.
  • Asset impairment charges - Represents impairments of long-lived tangible assets.
  • Promissory note impairment - Represents an impairment of a promissory note.
  • Tax adjustments on assets held for sale - Represents tax benefits related to the Company's commercial cybersecurity business held for sale.
  • Tax purchase accounting adjustments - Represents the tax purchase accounting adjustments related to the Company's acquisitions.
  • Other tax adjustments - Primarily represents the tax impacts of the promissory note impairment, taxable conversion of a subsidiary, real estate sales and revised cumulative impact of the federal government enacted Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.

Non-GAAP operating margin is computed by dividing non-GAAP operating income by revenue.

Adjusted EBITDA is computed by excluding the following items from income before income taxes: (i) discrete items as identified above; (ii) interest expense, net; and (iii) depreciation expense.

Adjusted EBITDA margin is computed by dividing adjusted EBITDA by revenue.

Non-GAAP diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income, adjusted for the discrete items as identified above and the related tax impacts, by the diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding.
