Revenue for the third quarter of fiscal year 2018 was $1.31 billion, up 7 percent compared to the third quarter of fiscal year 2017, the largest year-over-year increase since the Company was formed in November 2015, reflecting both organic growth and contributions from recent acquisitions. Revenue for the quarter was up 3 percent compared to the second quarter of fiscal year 2018 despite higher seasonal leave-taking, which historically dampens third quarter revenue approximately 3 percentage points.

Operating income for the third quarter of fiscal year 2018 of $128 million (9.8 percent operating margin) included $59 million of non-cash depreciation and amortization expense; $4 million of cash expense for acquisition, integration, and other costs; and $8 million of non-cash loss on the sale of the Company's corporate headquarters building (net of $2 million reimbursable portion). Adjusted EBITDA, which excludes these items, was $201 million for the third quarter, up 7 percent year-over-year. The adjusted EBITDA margin of 15.4 percent was above the Company's long-term target range 14 to 15 percent as the result of strong contract performance and disciplined cost management.

Net income attributable to CSRA shareholders for the third quarter of fiscal year 2018 was $188 million, or $1.14 per share, compared to $126 million, or $0.76 per share in the third quarter of fiscal year 2017. As a result of the "Tax Cuts and Jobs Act" of 2017, the effective tax rate for the quarter was (64.1) percent, which includes a benefit of $101 million associated with the estimated net effect of the Act on CSRA's deferred tax liabilities and assets at the end of the period. Absent that adjustment, the Company's provision for current period income taxes was recognized using a prorated statutory rate, which makes the year-to-date rate excluding that benefit equal the effective rate expected for the full fiscal year of 2018.

Adjusted diluted EPS, which excludes the one-time benefit associated with the net deferred tax liabilities; the impact of pension and other post-retirement plans; costs directly associated with acquisition, separation, and merger transactions; and the amortization from acquisition-related intangible assets, was $0.56 for the quarter, up 27% compared to $0.44 in the comparable period in fiscal year 2017. Excluding all impacts of tax reform, including the deferred tax liability adjustments and the lower statutory rate, CSRA's effective tax rate in the third quarter would have been 31.5%, and adjusted diluted EPS would have been $0.49, an increase of 11 percent year-over-year.

Cash Management and Capital Deployment

For the third quarter of fiscal year 2018, operating cash flow was $157 million, and free cash flow was $133 million, or about 1.4 times adjusted net income. The strong cash generation reflected improvements in working capital compared to the first half of the year. Days Sales Outstanding (DSO) for the quarter were 59 days. The $33 million of gross cash proceeds from the sale-leaseback transaction are not included in operating or free cash flow and do not impact DSO.

During the third quarter of fiscal year 2018, the Company returned $17 million to shareholders through its regular quarterly cash dividend program. In addition, the Company completed its acquisition of Praxis Engineering Technologies LLC ("Praxis"), a leader in providing mission applications to ensure the success of Intelligence Community customers, for approximately $235 million in cash.

On December 29, 2017, the Company entered into a Third Amendment to the Credit Agreement, which increased borrowings under the Term Loan B facility by $200 million and extended the maturity dates of the Tranche A2 facility and Revolving Credit facility by one year. The additional borrowings under the Term Loan B facility were immediately applied to repay in full the aggregate principal amount of advances outstanding under the Revolving Credit facility, which had been used to fund a portion of the acquisition consideration for NES Associates, LLC and Praxis and to pay fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Third Amendment.

At quarter end, the Company had $80 million in cash and cash equivalents and $2.7 billion in debt (excluding capital lease obligations). In December 2017, the Board of Directors declared that the Company would pay a cash dividend of $0.10 per share. Payment of the dividend was made on January 25, 2018 to CSRA stockholders of record at the close of business on January 4, 2018.

Business Development

Bookings in the third quarter totaled $1.6 billion, representing a book-to-bill ratio of 1.3x, the twelfth consecutive quarter with a book-to-bill ratio of 1.0x or higher. Bookings for the trailing twelve months totaled $8.8 billion, representing a book-to-bill ratio of 1.7x.

Included in the quarterly bookings were several particularly important single-award prime contracts:

  • Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Enterprise Service Desk (ESD). The VA awarded CSRA a five-year, $238 million task order to transition 12 existing national IT service desks to an ESD for enterprise-class IT services and support. This project represents the VA's first migration of critical services to a managed service environment, which will be operated at CSRA's Integrated Technology Center in Bossier City, La.
  • Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Traffic Flow Management System (TFMS). Under a $677 million contract extending up to 12 and a half years, CSRA will support the system operations, maintenance, and development of the TFMS, as it has done since 1981. Under the new contract, CSRA will incorporate the FAA's NextGen future technologies program that provides air traffic managers the most up-to-date situational awareness to minimize delays and increase air safety.
  • United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) Call Center. CSRA received a two-year, $62 million task order to provide citizenship and immigration information to customers of the USCIS Customer Engagement Center (CEC). This award expands CSRA's work with the CEC, and CSRA is now the sole provider of these services to the CEC. The CEC accepts between 12 million and 14 million phone calls and web chats annually.

The Company's backlog of signed business orders at the end of third quarter of fiscal year 2018 was $18.2 billion, of which $2.6 billion was funded.

Forward Guidance

With three quarters of reported performance, the Company is modifying its previously announced guidance ranges for revenue, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted diluted earnings per share for fiscal year 2018 as specified in the table below. Free cash flow guidance is unchanged. The Company elects to provide ranges for certain metrics that are not prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP because it cannot make reliable estimates of key items that would be necessary to provide guidance for its GAAP operating and cash flow measures, including pension and OPEB mark-to-market adjustments and amounts associated with any changes to its receivables purchase agreement.

Metric

Fiscal Year 2018

Revenue (millions)

$5,150 - $5,200

Adjusted EBITDA (millions)

$805 - $825

Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share

$2.00 - $2.05

Free Cash Flow (millions)

$330 - $380

 

CSRA chief financial officer Dave Keffer commented, "With strong financial performance across the board, we are able to maintain or improve our guidance ranges for all metrics. Our ranges imply strong organic growth in our fourth quarter, and tax reform is helping to drive strong earnings growth and free cash flows."

Conference Call

CSRA executive management will hold a conference call on February 7, 2018, at 5 p.m. Eastern to discuss the financial results and outlook and answer questions. Analysts and institutional investors may participate on the conference call by dialing 877-883-0383 (domestic) or 412-902-6506 (international) and entering pass code 3778101.

Segment Operating Results (Unaudited)

CSRA delivers IT, mission, and operations-related services across the U.S. federal government through two reportable segments–Defense and Intelligence, which supports customers in the Department of Defense (DoD) and Intelligence Community, and Civil, which supports customers in homeland security, law enforcement, healthcare, and other civil agencies as well as certain state and local government agencies. The following table summarizes revenue and segment operating income by reportable segment:

Notes:

For the three months ended December 29, 2017, Defense and Intelligence segment revenues increased by $49 million, or 9 percent, compared to revenues from the same period of the prior year. The primary drivers of the increase were the acquisitions of NES and Praxis and increased work scope on a contract to provide logistics and maintenance support for Army Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) systems, partially offset by declines in the Army Logistics Modernization Program and the U.S. Strategic Command Information Technology Capabilities Contract, which were completed in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2017. Third quarter fiscal year 2018 Civil segment revenues increased by $38 million, or 6 percent compared to revenues from the same period of the prior year, driven by the expansion of recent program wins at several agencies, including the Federal Emergency Management Agency, Office of Personnel Management, Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, and Environmental Protection Agency.

Defense and Intelligence segment operating margin for the quarter increased to 11.5% from 6.7% in the third quarter of fiscal year 2017, driven in part by exceptional performance on a large fixed price program. Conversely, Civil segment operating margin decreased to 12.5% from 13.7% in the third quarter of fiscal year 2017; the decrease is primarily due to higher direct costs associated with software license fees that were partially offset by lower indirect costs related to depreciation and amortization.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The following tables illustrate the items and means to reconcile non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. CSRA management believes that adjusted diluted EPS, adjusted EBITDA and margin, and free cash flow provide useful additional information to investors regarding the Company's financial condition and results of operations, as they provide additional measures of the Company's profitability and ability to service its debt. In addition, these measures are considered important measures by financial analysts covering CSRA, and are used in determining executive compensation.

Our non-GAAP measures may be calculated differently than similarly named measures reported by other companies. In addition, using non-GAAP measures may have limited value as they exclude certain items that may have a material impact on reported financial results and cash flows. When analyzing CSRA's performance, it is important to evaluate each adjustment in our reconciliation and use adjusted measures in addition to, and not as an alternative to, GAAP measures.

The major adjustments to GAAP to derive adjusted metrics are summarized below:

  • Plan Impacts. At the time of the Spin-off on November 27, 2015, CSRA assumed the assets and obligations of the pension and other post-retirement plans from CSC. The recurring net non-cash benefits associated with these plans are excluded from all quarters. The mark-to-market effect in the third quarter of fiscal year 2017 is excluded in the adjusted metrics; there were no other plan remeasurements in the current or year-ago quarterly or year-to-date periods.
  • Acquisition, Integration, and Other Costs. Costs directly associated with acquisitions, including integration costs and costs associated with the separation and merger transactions, are excluded from adjusted diluted EPS, adjusted EBITDA, and free cash flow.
  • Acquisition-related Intangible Amortization. All amortization associated with acquisition-related intangible assets is excluded from adjusted diluted EPS.
  • Net Deferred Tax Liabilities. On December 22, 2017, the U.S. government enacted the "Tax Cuts and Jobs Act" of 2017. The Company is required to evaluate its deferred tax assets and liabilities as of December 29, 2017 using the new statutory rates. The benefit of approximately $101 million associated with the revaluation of the Company's net deferred tax liability is excluded from adjusted income tax expense, adjusted net income, and adjusted diluted EPS.
  • Sale-Leaseback Transaction. On November 2, 2017, CSRA closed a sale-leaseback transaction with MCPII 3170 Fairview, LLC, pursuant to which the Company sold its corporate headquarters property in Falls Church, Va. and simultaneously leased back a significant portion of the building. The gross sale price was $33 million, and the Company recognized a loss of approximately $10 million. The proceeds from the sale are excluded from free cash flow, and the $8 million unbillable portion of the loss is excluded from adjusted EBITDA and adjusted diluted EPS.

The nine months ended December 29, 2017 includes approximately $2 million of interest expense for the write-off of deferred financing costs related to the restructuring of the Company's debt facility in the first quarter of fiscal year 2018. The three and nine months ended December 29, 2017 includes approximately $8 million of unbilled, non-cash loss on the sale of the Company's corporate headquarters building.

(c)

The nine months ended December 29, 2017 includes $4.9 million in accelerated amortization expense related to software acquired in the spin-off of the North American Public Sector business from Computer Sciences Corporation, now known as DXC Technology, ("Spin-off") that was discontinued for further use in the period.

(d)

For the nine months ended December 29, 2017, the adjusted income tax expense utilizes an effective rate of 31.85%, which reflects the projected rate for the fiscal year, absent the revaluation of deferred tax assets and liabilities resulting from enactment of the Tax Act. For the three and nine months ended December 30, 2016, the adjusted income tax utilizes the effective tax rate for GAAP purposes.

 

Adjusted EBITDA and Margin

During the nine months ended December 29, 2017, CSRA adopted Accounting Standard Update No. 2017-07—Compensation-Retirement Benefits (Topic 715), which changes the presentation of net periodic pension and postretirement costs. Previously, operating income included net periodic benefits of CSRA's defined benefit pension and postretirement plans. Under the new presentation, operating income excludes this benefit, so it is no longer deducted to compute adjusted EBITDA. The prior periods have been revised to conform with current period presentation.
