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

Revenues for the quarter increased $31 million, or 3%, compared to the prior year quarter primarily due to higher revenue on new contracts supporting NASA, the U.S. Army and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) ($56 million), partially offset by the completion of contracts and other net decreases across our portfolio. These decreases include the loss of an IT integration contract supporting the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) ($14 million). The Company’s internal revenue growth(1) for the third quarter was 3.0%.

Operating income as a percentage of revenues decreased to 6.3% of revenues, compared to 6.6% for the prior year quarter, primarily due to lower profit from a higher volume of cost reimbursable contracts and higher material cost mix.

Net income for the quarter increased $1 million from the comparable prior year period primarily due to lower interest expense as a result of refinancing our long-term debt in the prior year ($3 million, net of tax) partially offset by an increase in the effective tax rate.

Adjusted EBITDA(1) as a percentage of revenues for the quarter was 7.4%, compared to 7.7% for the prior year quarter due primarily to lower profit from a higher volume of cost reimbursable contracts and higher material cost mix.

Diluted earnings per share was $0.98 for the quarter. Diluted earnings per share was positively impacted by $0.05 during the quarter due to the adoption of ASU 2016-09 at the beginning of the fiscal year. The weighted-average diluted shares outstanding during the quarter was 44.2 million shares.

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

Cash Generation and Capital Deployment

Total cash flows provided by operating activities for the third quarter were $80 million. The $73 million decrease in cash provided by operating activities compared to the prior year quarter was primarily due to delayed customer collections ($69 million) and a prior year return of working capital investment in Marine Corps platform integration and IT services programs ($24 million), partially offset by a decrease in payments for trade-related payables due to normal fluctuations in the timing of activity ($22 million).

During the quarter SAIC deployed $59 million of capital, consisting of $39 million in plan share repurchases (562 thousand shares) under SAIC’s previously announced share repurchase program, $12 million in cash dividends and a $8 million term loan repayment.

New Business Awards

Net bookings for the quarter were approximately $2.6 billion, which reflects a book-to-bill ratio of approximately 2.3, and marks the second quarter in a row SAIC has set a new record for highest quarterly bookings. SAIC’s estimated backlog of signed business orders at the end of the quarter was approximately $10.7 billion of which $2.6 billion was funded.

BACKLOG
(Unaudited)
The estimated value of our total backlog as of the dates presented was:
						November 3,2017						August 4,2017						February 3,2017
						(in millions)
Funded backlog						$	2,609					$	1,805					$	1,811
Negotiated unfunded backlog						8,135						7,436						6,209
Total backlog						$	10,744					$	9,241					$	8,020

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.

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.

Internal Revenue Growth

Prior year period's revenues, as reported				$	1,114				$	3,424
Prior year period's revenues performed by former Parent				(2		)			(8		)

Prior year period's revenues, as adjusted				1,112					3,328

Internal revenue growth (contraction)(1)				$	33				$	(2	)
Internal revenue growth (contraction)(1) percentage				3.0		%			(0.1		)%

We utilize internal revenue growth (or internal revenue contraction if negative) to evaluate revenue growth. Internal revenue growth is calculated by comparing our reported revenues for the current year to the reported revenues for the prior year comparable period adjusted to include any pre-acquisition historical revenues of acquired businesses. We also adjust current and prior year revenue to exclude the impact of revenue performed by our former parent company, Leidos Holdings, Inc. (“former Parent”) since revenues on pre-separation joint work are recorded equal to cost and are expected to decline over time. For fiscal 2017, a 53-week fiscal year, we have also adjusted revenue to exclude the estimated impact of the additional week in order to facilitate comparison to the current year period. We estimate the revenue impact of the additional week by dividing the first quarter fiscal 2017 revenues by the number of days in the first quarter and multiplying that amount by the number of additional days in the first quarter of fiscal 2017. We believe that adjusting prior year revenues to reflect the impact of the additional week improves comparability since differences in the number of days generally have a direct impact on the amount of revenues earned during the respective periods. We believe that internal revenue growth provides management and investors with useful information in assessing trends on how successful the Company has been in growing revenues as we develop our base business and access new markets and capabilities provided by acquisitions.

Adjusted operating income as a percentage of revenues				6.4		%			6.6		%			5.9		%		6.4		%

EBITDA is a performance measure that is calculated by taking net income and excluding interest expense, provision for income taxes, and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted operating income are performance measures that exclude restructuring and acquisition and integration costs that we do not consider to be indicative of our ongoing operating performance. The restructuring costs excluded relate to the Company's plan to restructure certain aspects of its operations. This is the only significant restructuring since we began operating as an independent company over four years ago. The acquisition and integration costs relate to the Company’s significant acquisition of Scitor. 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.

Free cash flow(1)				$	72				$	150				$	118				$	200

Free cash flow is calculated by taking cash flows provided by operating activities less expenditures for property, plant, and equipment. We believe that 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 a similar non-GAAP liquidity measure. This measure should not be considered as a measure of residual cash flow available for discretionary purposes.
