Second Quarter Summary Results

Revenues for the quarter increased $34 million or 2% compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to ramp up in volume on existing and new contracts, partially offset by contract completions.

Operating income as a percentage of revenues decreased from the comparable prior year period primarily due to the gain on the sale of the Supply Chain Business ($234 million) in the prior year period, and contract completions, partially offset by ramp up in volume on existing and new contracts.

Adjusted EBITDA(1) as a percentage of revenues for the quarter decreased to 9.4% from 9.8% for the same period in the prior year primarily due to contract completions, partially offset by ramp up in volume on existing and new contracts.

Diluted earnings per share for the quarter was $1.58 compared to $4.56 in the prior year quarter. Adjusted diluted earnings per share(1) for the quarter was $2.05 compared to $2.05 in the prior year quarter. The weighted-average diluted shares outstanding during the quarter decreased to 51.2 million from 53.9 million during the prior year quarter.

(1)Non-GAAP measure, see Schedule 6 for information about this measure.

Cash Generation and Capital Deployment

Cash flows provided by operating activities for the second quarter decreased $12 million compared to the prior year quarter, primarily due to higher cash used from the Master Accounts Receivable Purchase Agreement ("MARPA Facility") in the current year, partially offset by timing of collections, lower tax payments in the current year, and other net favorable changes in working capital.

During the quarter, SAIC deployed $226 million of capital, consisting of $201 million of plan share repurchases, $19 million in cash dividends, and $6 million of capital expenditures.

Quarterly Dividend Declared

As previously announced, subsequent to quarter end, the Company's Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.37 per share of the Company's common stock payable on October 25, 2024 to stockholders of record on October 11, 2024. 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.

Backlog and Contract Awards

Net bookings for the quarter were approximately $1.2 billion, which reflects a book-to-bill ratio of 0.6 and a trailing twelve months book-to-bill ratio of 1.1. SAIC's estimated backlog at the end of the quarter was approximately $22.9 billion. Of the total backlog amount, approximately $4.2 billion was funded.

Notable New Awards:

U.S. Treasury: During the quarter, SAIC was awarded a one year, approximately $134 million task order to support the Treasury Cloud (TCloud). This effort provides enterprise-level commercial Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS) cloud products and professional services to support Treasury and Bureau business and mission operations.

Notable Recompete Awards:

Department of Veterans Affairs: During the quarter, SAIC was awarded a five-year (one year base, plus four, one-year option periods), $206 million recompete to deliver high-quality IT services that are crucial to the seamless execution of the Veterans Affairs Financial Services Center's operations. This effort will support the Financial Services Center in Austin, TX with essential services such as infrastructure and application support, cloud services, cybersecurity, data analytics, database design, and administration.

U.S. Navy: During the quarter, SAIC was awarded three contracts worth $58 million to support the Airborne Electronic Attack (AEA) Integrated Product Team (IPT) Jammer Technique Optimization (JATO) Program, the International Program, and the AEA IPT EA-18G Program. These three contracts will deliver mission-critical solutions with dedicated support to the Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division.

U.S. Defense and Space Portfolio: During the quarter, SAIC was awarded approximately $250 million of contract awards by defense and space organizations. These awards represent a combination of new business and recompetes.

GAAP to Non-GAAP Guidance Reconciliation

The Company does not provide a reconciliation of forward-looking adjusted diluted EPS to GAAP diluted EPS, adjusted EBITDA margin to GAAP net income or transaction-adjusted free cash flow and free cash flow to GAAP net cash flows from operating activities 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 net income and cash flows from operating activities may vary significantly based on actual events, the Company is not able to forecast GAAP diluted EPS, GAAP net income or GAAP net cash flows from operating activities with reasonable certainty. The variability of the above charges may have an unpredictable and potentially significant impact on our future GAAP financial results.
