ManTech Announces Financial Results for First Quarter of 2018
FAIRFAX, Va., May 02, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ManTech International Corporation (Nasdaq:MANT), a leading provider of innovative technologies and solutions for mission-critical national security programs, today announced financial results for the first quarter of fiscal year 2018, which ended March 31, 2018.
“With the solid execution in the quarter, ManTech is well positioned for another successful year. We continue our strong trajectory with another quarter of robust organic revenue growth. Equally important is our commitment to invest for the future and our steadfast focus on delivering innovative and differentiated solutions to meet our customers' mission-critical requirements,” said ManTech President and Chief Executive Officer Kevin M. Phillips.
As a result of increased demand for our services and solutions, revenues for the quarter were $473.2 million, up 13% from $418.4 million in the first quarter of 2017. Revenue growth was driven by a combination of organic expansion from recent contract awards and acquisitions.
Operating income for the quarter was $26.4 million, up 8% compared to the first quarter of 2017, representing an operating margin of 5.6%. For the quarter, net income was $20.1 million and diluted earnings per share were $0.51, up 34% and 31%, respectively, compared to the first quarter of 2017.
The company used $18.0 million of net cash flow to fund operating activities in the quarter. Days sales outstanding (DSO) were 69 days. As of March 31, 2018, the company had $10.4 million in cash and cash equivalents and $65.5 million of outstanding borrowings on its $500 million revolving-credit facility, which leaves the company with ample financial capacity to support growth, pursue acquisitions and issue dividends while maintaining a strong balance sheet.
The company paid $9.9 million in dividends, or $0.25 per share, to its common stockholders of record as of March 9, 2018. The Board of Directors has declared that the company will pay a cash dividend of $0.25 per share on June 22, 2018, to all common stockholders of record as of June 8, 2018, 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
Contract awards (bookings) totaled $430 million in the quarter, representing a book-to-bill ratio of 0.9. Over the trailing 12 months, the book-to-bill ratio is 2.2. ManTech won several large, single-award contracts in the quarter including:
Additional contract awards in the quarter include several extensions to existing contracts and new contracts from various customers, most of which are classified.
In addition, the company won several multiple-award indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contracts, which are not included in bookings, including:
The company’s backlog of business at the end of quarter was $7.1 billion and funded backlog was $1.2 billion.

ManTech Chief Financial Officer Judith L. Bjornaas said, "I am pleased to see the strong organic performance of the business, which met all of our financial targets for the first quarter. ManTech's positioning in important national and homeland security missions provides a solid foundation for continued growth."
