RESTON, Va., Feb. 18, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Leidos Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: LDOS), a FORTUNE 500® science and technology leader, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year 2019.

Roger Krone, Leidos Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented: "We delivered strong fourth quarter results, including record organic revenue growth, increasing margins and significant year-over-year non-GAAP earnings growth. Our growth and execution momentum accelerated throughout 2019 and has continued into 2020 with significant new program wins and the opportunity to create value from our two recently announced acquisitions. I am confident that we are growing the company with the right talent, the right capabilities and the right strategy to continue to drive value for our customers, employees and shareholders."

Fourth Quarter Summary Results

Revenues for the quarter were $2.95 billion, compared to $2.65 billion in the prior year quarter, reflecting an 11.6% increase.

Operating income for the quarter was $261 million, compared to $188 million in the prior year quarter. Operating income margin increased to 8.8% from 7.1% in the prior year quarter. Non-GAAP operating margin for the quarter was 10.5%, compared to 9.3% in the prior year quarter, primarily due to favorable program mix.

Diluted earnings per share ("EPS") attributable to Leidos common stockholders for the quarter was $1.26, compared to $1.25 in the prior year quarter. Non-GAAP diluted EPS for the fourth quarter was $1.51 compared to $1.10 in the prior year quarter. The weighted average diluted share count for the quarter was 144 million compared to 150 million in the prior year quarter.

Defense Solutions

Defense Solutions revenues for the quarter of $1.40 billion increased $135 million, or 10.7%, compared to the prior year quarter. The revenue growth was primarily attributable to new awards and a net increase in program volumes, partially offset by the completion of certain contracts.

Defense Solutions operating income margin for the quarter was 8.9%, compared to 6.3% in the prior year quarter. On a non-GAAP basis, operating margin for the quarter was 9.9%, compared to 7.7% in the prior year quarter, primarily attributable to new awards, the release of a contract reserve, favorable program mix and higher net-profit write-ups in the current year quarter.

Civil

Civil revenues for the quarter of $1.03 billion increased $143 million, or 16.2%, compared to the prior year quarter. The revenue growth was primarily attributable to a net increase in program volumes and new awards, partially offset by the impact of the sale of our commercial cybersecurity business and the completion of certain contracts.

Civil operating income margin for the quarter was 9.4%, compared to 7.1% in the prior year quarter. On a non-GAAP basis, operating margin for the quarter was 11.4%, compared to 9.8% in the prior year quarter, primarily attributable to profit write-ups in the current year quarter, new awards and favorable program mix.

Health

Health revenues for the quarter of $526 million increased $29 million, or 5.8%, as compared to the prior year quarter. The revenue growth was primarily attributable to a net increase in program volumes, new awards and our acquisition of IMX Medical Management Services, Inc. ("IMX"), partially offset by the impact of the sale of our health staff augmentation business and the completion of certain contracts.

Health operating income margin for the quarter was 13.9%, compared to 13.7% in the prior year quarter. On a non-GAAP basis, operating margin for the quarter was 16.0%, consistent with 16.1% in the prior year quarter.

Fiscal Year 2019 Summary Results

Revenues for fiscal year 2019 were $11.09 billion, compared to $10.19 billion in the prior year, reflecting an 8.8% increase.

Operating income for fiscal year 2019 was $912 million, compared to $749 million in the prior year. Operating income margin for fiscal year 2019 was 8.2%, compared to 7.3% in the prior year. Non-GAAP operating margin was 9.9%, compared to 9.8% in the prior year, primarily due to the payment of an arbitration award relating to a contract in a prior business operation and favorable program mix.

Diluted EPS attributable to Leidos common stockholders for fiscal year 2019 was $4.60, compared to $3.80 for the prior year. Non-GAAP diluted EPS for fiscal year 2019 was $5.17, compared to $4.38 in the prior year. The diluted share count was 145 million compared to 153 million in the prior year.

Defense Solutions

Defense Solutions revenues of $5.37 billion for fiscal year 2019 increased $401 million, or 8.1%, compared to the prior year. The revenue growth was primarily attributable to new awards and a net increase in program volumes, partially offset by the completion of certain contracts.

Defense Solutions operating income margin for fiscal year 2019 was 7.6%, compared to 7.1% in the prior year. On a non-GAAP basis, operating margin for the year was 8.7% compared to 8.5% in the prior year, primarily attributable to new awards, the release of a contract reserve and favorable program mix.

Civil

Civil revenues of $3.73 billion for fiscal year 2019 increased $318 million, or 9.3%, compared to the prior year. The revenue growth was primarily attributable to new awards and a net increase in program volumes, partially offset by the impact of the sale of our commercial cybersecurity business, the completion of certain contracts and lower net profit write-ups in the current year.

Civil operating income margin for fiscal year 2019 was 7.9%, compared to 8.3% in the prior year. On a non-GAAP basis, operating margin for the year was 10.0%, compared to 11.2% in the prior year, primarily attributable to lower net profit write-ups in the current year and a net increase in bad debt expense on certain international contracts, partially offset by new awards.

Health

Health revenues of $2.00 billion for fiscal year 2019 increased $181 million, or 10.0%, compared to the prior year. The revenue growth was primarily attributable to a net increase in program volumes, new awards and our acquisition of IMX, partially offset by the completion of certain contracts and the impact of the sale of our health staff augmentation business.

Health operating income margin for fiscal year 2019 was 12.1%, compared to 12.7% in the prior year. On a non-GAAP basis, operating margin for the year was 14.3%, compared to 15.2% in the prior year, primarily attributable to reduced margins on awarded re-compete contracts.

Cash Flow Summary

Net cash provided by operating activities for the quarter were $169 million compared to $104 million in the prior year quarter. The higher operating cash inflows were primarily due to more favorable timing of working capital changes, partially offset by timing of interest payments.

Net cash used in investing activities for the quarter were $54 million compared to $20 million in the prior year quarter. The higher cash outflows were primarily due to higher purchases of property, equipment and software.

Net cash used in financing activities for the quarter were $144 million compared to $290 million in the prior year quarter. The decrease in financing cash outflows was primarily due to lower stock repurchases, partially offset by the timing of dividend and debt payments.

Net cash provided by operating activities for the fiscal year were $992 million compared to $768 million in the prior year. The higher operating cash inflows were primarily due to more favorable timing of working capital changes including higher advance payments from customers, $59 million received in payment of an arbitration award relating to a contract in a prior business operation and lower payments for integration and restructuring costs. These activities were partially offset by higher tax payments, the timing of interest payments and proceeds received from the termination of interest rate swaps in the prior year.

Net cash provided by investing activities for the fiscal year were $65 million compared to $114 million net cash used in investing activities in the prior year. The higher cash inflows were primarily due to proceeds received for the dispositions of our commercial cybersecurity and health staff augmentation businesses and the sale of real estate properties, as well as cash paid in the prior year related to our 2016 acquisition. These activities were partially offset by cash paid related to the acquisition of IMX, higher purchases of property, equipment and software and lower proceeds from promissory notes.

Net cash used in financing activities for the fiscal year were $709 million compared to $707 million in in the prior year. The increase in financing cash outflows were primarily due to the timing of debt payments and higher stock repurchases, partially offset by cash paid related to a tax indemnification in the prior year and the timing of issuances of stock.

As of January 3, 2020, the Company had $668 million in cash and cash equivalents and $3.0 billion in debt.

New Business Awards

Net bookings totaled $3.0 billion in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2019 and $14.5 billion for fiscal year 2019, representing a book-to-bill ratio of 1.0 and 1.3 for the fourth quarter and fiscal year 2019, respectively.

Notable recent awards received include:

  • Federal Aviation Administration Flight Services Support: The Company was awarded a follow-on prime contract by the Federal Aviation Administration ("FAA") to continue serving the general aviation community under the Future Flight Services Program ("FFSP"). Under the FFSP contract, Leidos will help the FAA achieve its vision to transform and modernize the delivery of flight briefing services by reducing program costs, providing technology enhancements, and engaging the broader general aviation community. The single award, firm-fixed-price contract has a five-year base period of performance followed by ten one-year option periods at an approximate value of $1 billion, if all options are exercised.
  • U.K. Metropolitan Police Service Command and Control System Support: The Company was appointed by the Metropolitan Police Service ("MPS") to upgrade its Command and Control system responsible for officer and vehicle deployment to emergency (999) and non-emergency (101) calls and events across the city of London. Under the program, Leidos U.K. will deliver a flexible map centric system that captures emergency contacts from the public and subsequently coordinates deployment of officers and other resources to incidents, pre-planned events and other operations. The new Command and Control solution will provide a modern, easy to use, cloud-based system to help the MPS visualize where officers are located, allow more efficient deployment, drive operational efficiency and keep the citizens and visitors of London safe. The single award, firm-fixed-price contract has a 22-month implementation phase followed by a 10-year base period of performance and a five-year option.
  • U.S. Intelligence Community: The Company was awarded contracts valued at $1.2 billion, 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 2019 was $24.1 billion, of which $5.4 billion was funded.

Forward Guidance

The Company's outlook for fiscal year 2020 is as follows:

  • Revenues of $12.6 billion to $13.0 billion;
  • Adjusted EBITDA margins of 10.0% to 10.2%;
  • Non-GAAP diluted EPS of $5.30 to $5.65; and
  • Cash flows provided by operating activities at or above $1.0 billion.

Non-GAAP diluted EPS excludes amortization of acquired intangible assets, asset impairment charges, acquisition, integration and restructuring costs, amortization of equity method investment, gain on sale of business, acquisition related financing costs and other tax adjustments. For additional information regarding non-GAAP diluted EPS and  Leidos' other non-GAAP financial measures, see the related explanations and reconciliations 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.

UNAUDITED SEGMENT OPERATING RESULTS
(in millions)

Effective the beginning of fiscal 2019, the Company changed the composition of its Defense Solutions reportable segment to better align the operations within the reportable segment to the customers it serves. This resulted in the identification of new operating segments within Defense Solutions. In addition, certain contracts were reassigned between the Civil and Defense Solutions reportable segments. While this activity did not have a material impact on the Company's reportable segments, prior year segments results have been recast to reflect this change.

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 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 task orders is anticipated.

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

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; (ii) income tax expense; and (iii) 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 investment - Represents the amortization of the fair value of the acquired equity method investment.
  • Acquisition related financing costs - Represents the amortization of the debt financing commitments in connection with the Company's entry into a purchase agreement with Dynetics, Inc.
  • Gain on sale of business - Represents the net gain on sale of businesses.
  • Asset impairment charges - Represents impairments of long-lived tangible assets.
  • Other tax adjustments - Represents discrete tax items.

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; (iii) interest income; (iv) depreciation expense; and (v) amortization of intangibles.

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.
