ManTech Announces Financial Results for Third Quarter of 2012

FAIRFAX, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ManTech International Corporation (NASDAQ:MANT) (www.mantech.com), a leading provider of innovative technologies and solutions for mission-critical national security programs, today announced financial results for the third quarter of 2012, which ended Sept. 30, 2012.

“The third quarter of fiscal year 2012 marked a continuation of strong bookings growth for ManTech”

“The third quarter of fiscal year 2012 marked a continuation of strong bookings growth for ManTech,” said ManTech Chairman and Chief Executive Officer George J. Pedersen. “After experiencing industry-wide delays in contract awards and funding for much of the year, we have seen customers move forward with procurements in the priority areas we serve. With bookings of $1.2 billion in the third quarter and $5.5 billion over the last 12 months, we now have record backlog of $7.0 billion. The third quarter was also strong for cash collections. After generating $97 million in operating cash flow, we had a record cash balance of $209 million. These superb results provide us a strong foundation for growth in priority government programs and position us well for the long-term.”

Summary Operating Results

Revenues for the quarter were $645.0 million, up from $638.9 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2012. Revenues in strategic investment areas, including intelligence, cyber security and healthcare, increased year-over-year. Revenues for the third quarter of 2011 were $734.6 million.

Operating income for the quarter was $42.8 million, compared to $58.5 million in the third quarter of 2011. Operating margin of 6.6 percent reflected greater investment in new market growth areas. Net income for the quarter was $24.4 million, compared to $34.5 million in the third quarter of 2011. Diluted earnings per share for the quarter were $0.66, compared to $0.94 in the third quarter of 2011.

Cash Management and Capital Deployment

Cash flow from operations for the quarter was $97 million or 3.9 times net income. Days sales outstanding (DSO) were 66 days, a seven-day improvement compared to the second quarter of 2012. As of Sept. 30, 2012, ManTech had $209 million in cash and cash equivalents—the highest quarter-ending balance in its history. With $200 million in high-yield debt with no outstanding borrowings on its $500 million revolving-credit facility, the company has the financial capacity to pursue acquisitions, issue dividends, and maintain a strong balance sheet.

During the quarter, the company paid $7.8 million, or $0.21 per share, to its common stockholders of record as of Sept. 7, 2012. The Board of Directors has declared that the company will pay a cash dividend of $0.21 per share on Dec. 21, 2012 to all common stockholders of record as of Dec. 7, 2012 as part of its regular quarterly cash dividend program. Future declarations of dividends and their record and payment dates are subject to the final determination of ManTech's Board of Directors.

Contract Awards

ManTech achieved strong business development success across a wide array of customers, including both standard awards and indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contracts. Contract awards (bookings) totaled $1.2 billion in the third quarter, representing a book-to-bill ratio of 1.9. Nearly one-third of the awards were for new business. Large awards contributing to the quarterly bookings include:

Strategic Services Sourcing (S3) Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) Support. ManTech was awarded ten prime S3 task orders totaling $710 million over two years to provide C4ISR engineering, sustainment, logistics, and business operations support services to the U.S. Army Communications-Electronics Command (CECOM). Under these task orders ManTech will support mission critical systems, including the Distributed Common Ground System – Army (DCGS-A), Army Battle Command Systems (ABCS), Base Expeditionary Targeting and Surveillance Systems – Combined (BETSS-C), Guardrail, and Elevated Sensor programs. Three task orders totaling $168 million represent new work for ManTech.
Joint Interoperability Test Command (JITC) Support Services. Under an $871 million, five-year, multiple-award IDIQ contract, ManTech will support test and evaluation (T&E) missions at the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) JITC. Extending its 20-year legacy of support to JITC, ManTech will provide testing, scientific, engineering, logistic, administrative and ancillary support to DISA T&E missions, including operation and maintenance of test tools, labs, networks, infrastructure and administrative support cells. Based on historical levels of support under predecessor contracts, the company allocated $175 million to bookings and backlog.
U.S. Marine Corps Cougar Support. The U.S. Marine Corps Systems Command awarded ManTech a $30 million, 28-month contract to provide maintenance and on-the-job training for the Cougar family of mine resistant ambush protected (MRAP) vehicles. ManTech will conduct initial inspections and perform vehicle repairs, sustainment maintenance, retrofits and modifications to all Cougar vehicles in Afghanistan and provide instruction in all MRAP courses at Camp Lejeune, Camp Johnson, and Red River Army Depot.
Armed Forces Health Longitudinal Technology Application-Theater (AHLTA-T) Support. Under a $21 million, three-year contract for the U.S. Army Medical Research Acquisition Activity (USAMRAA), ManTech will provide new development and sustainment support for AHLTA-T to include code optimization, database conversion, capability and new feature additions, mobile computing enhancements and code upgrades. AHLTA-T is a clinical documentation and management system that serves as the military’s electronic health record (EHR) for every soldier, sailor, airman, marine, and beneficiary entitled to DoD health care in theater of operations.

In addition, the company won several multiple-award IDIQ contracts that are not included in bookings, several of which provide significant growth opportunities for ManTech:

Software Engineering Center (SEC) Support. Under a $7 billion, five-year contract, ManTech will provide comprehensive software and systems engineering services to the SEC, a component of CECOM. ManTech’s Agile software development processes, CMMI Maturity Level 3 development rating, rapid prototyping capability and cyber and information assurance toolsets will prove essential to assist the SEC in meeting their mission requirements.
Enhanced Army Global Logistics Enterprise (EAGLE) Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA). Fluor ManTech Logistics Services, LLC (FMLS), a joint business enterprise of ManTech and Fluor Corporation, was awarded a BOA under the EAGLE program by the U.S. Army Sustainment Command. For the next five years FMLS will compete to prepare forces for deployment, sustainment and redeployment and rebuild readiness for future deployments and contingencies. Services can be provided worldwide to the Department of the Army, coalition partners, joint bases, foreign governments and other Department of Defense agencies.
Security Engineering Support Services in the National Capital Region (NCR). Under a $225 million, five-year contract with the Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center Atlantic, ManTech will perform systems engineering, analysis, development, acquisition, integration, installation, software development and maintenance, testing and integrated logistical support for anti-terrorism/force protection systems for high-value Navy and other government activities in the NCR.

During the third quarter, the Government Accountability Office denied the protest of award of the Contractor Logistics Sustainment and Support (CLSS) Services contract to ManTech. The $2.85 billion award was reflected in second quarter bookings but only the initial funding increment of $248 million was recorded in second quarter backlog. With the large volume of third quarter awards and the full amount of CLSS in backlog, the company’s backlog of business at the end of third quarter was a record $7.0 billion, of which $1.6 billion was funded. Compared to the second quarter of fiscal year 2012, total backlog increased 73 percent and funded backlog increased 15 percent.

Forward Guidance

The company is updating its expected financial performance for 2012 based on year-to-date results and a revised forward outlook. The company now expects to achieve revenue, net income and diluted earnings per share as specified in the table below.


Measure		Fiscal 2012 Guidance
Revenue (million)		$2,650
Net Income (million)		$101
Diluted Earnings Per Share		$2.72

ManTech Chief Financial Officer Kevin M. Phillips said, “We are excited about the exceptional awards activity in 2012 and expect to build on this quarter’s momentum and grow headcount and revenue significantly in the fourth quarter. Our business development success in the quarter underscores our ability to offer differentiated, competitive solutions. Profitability from our investments in commercial cyber and healthcare IT, as well as expansions of existing priority programs such as AMBIANCE, is lower than expected but will improve as these businesses execute their new awards. Our strong balance sheet and our positioning in key markets with important customers will allow us to return cash to shareholders and invest in growth regardless of sequestration.”
