FY10 guidance: double-digit growth in organic revenue, net income, and EPS

FAIRFAX, Virginia, February 24, 2010 – 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 fourth quarter and fiscal year 2009, which ended December 31, 2009.

“I am pleased to report that ManTech closed fiscal year 2009 in strong fashion, as we accelerated organic growth, expanded operating margin and profitability, and continued our focus on cash management,” said George J. Pedersen, ManTech Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Our acquisition of Sensor Technologies Inc. in January and recent large competitive awards position us to deliver organic growth and enhance shareholder value in 2010. I believe that our strategy to focus on high-end defense and intelligence work and to support our customers’ missions around the globe in about 40 countries will continue to drive growth and differentiate ManTech in the marketplace.”

Summary Operating Results

Revenues for the quarter were $542.1 million, up 10 percent from $494.7 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008. Revenues for the year were $2.02 billion, up 8 percent from $1.87 billion in fiscal year 2008. Organic growth was 8 percent for the quarter and 6 percent for the fiscal year, driven primarily by expansions in the Company’s in-theater logistics support and cyber security services.

Operating income for the quarter was $47.4 million (8.7 percent of revenue), up 15 percent from $41.4 million (8.4 percent of revenue) in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008. Growth in quarterly operating margin percentage was driven by improved contract fees as well as a more efficient indirect cost structure. Full-year operating income was $179.1 million (8.9 percent of revenue), up 17 percent from $153.4 million (8.2 percent of revenue) in fiscal year 2008.

Net income for the quarter was $29.5 million, up 20 percent from $24.6 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008. Net income grew more rapidly than operating income because of a drop in the effective tax rate from 40 percent in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008 to 37.7 percent as a result of favorable fluctuations in deferred compensation assets. Full-year net income was $111.8 million, up 24 percent from $90.3 million in fiscal year 2008.

Diluted earnings per share for the quarter were $0.82, up 19 percent from $0.69 in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008, driven by the increase in net income offset by a slightly higher share count compared to the prior year quarter. Diluted earnings per share for the year were $3.11, up 22 percent from $2.55 in fiscal year 2008.

Cash Management and Capital Deployment

Cash flow from operations for the quarter was $34 million (or 1.1 times net income), up from $10 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008. Cash collections continued to be strong as days sales outstanding (DSO) were 66 days, two days higher sequentially and an eight-day improvement year-over-year. For the year, cash flow from operations was $132 million (or 1.2 times net income), up 4 percent from $127 million in fiscal year 2008.

As of December 31, 2009, the company had $86 million in cash and cash equivalents and no long-term debt. After the close of the quarter, the Company acquired Sensor Technologies Inc. (STI), a leading provider of C4ISR services to the U.S. Army, for $242 million.

Contract Awards

Contract awards (bookings) totaled $574 million in the fourth quarter and $1.95 billion for the fiscal year, representing a book-to-bill ratio of 1.1 and 1.0 for the fourth quarter and fiscal year, respectively. Large, competitive definite delivery contract awards received during the quarter include:

 

   

U.S. Army Electronic Proving Ground (EPG) Testing Support. Under a five-year, $286 million contract from EPG, ManTech will support testing for Command, Control, Communications, Computers and Intelligence (C4I), navigation, and sensor systems for reliability, availability and maintainability, electromagnetic interference/compatibility, and security. ManTech personnel will support EPG in Forts Huachuca, Hood, Bliss, and Lewis as well as Aberdeen and Yuma Proving Grounds and White Sands Missile Range.

 

   

Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Director’s Office Support. ManTech received a five-year, $42 million contract to continue its Systems Engineering and Technical Assistance (SETA) support of Technology Transition and Strategic Support program for the DARPA Director’s Office.

 

   

Intelligence Support Services for Multi-National Force–Iraq (MNF-I). On a subcontract to L-3 for about $40 million, ManTech will provide the MNF–I with counterintelligence support, intelligence analysis and media exploitation analysis. ManTech personnel work closely with troops in the field and are among the first to see and evaluate digital media seized during military operations.

The bookings total excludes awards in the quarter with an active protest as well as multiple-award indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (ID/IQ) contracts where ManTech has no history of performance. After the quarter closed, the government awarded ManTech a $99 million single-award ID/IQ to provide systems engineering support to the Department of Homeland Security’s Secure Border Initiative after overturning the previous incumbent’s protest.

The company’s backlog of business at the end of fiscal year 2009 was $3.8 billion, of which $1.1 billion was funded. As compared to the end of fiscal year 2008, total backlog decreased 5 percent and funded backlog decreased 8 percent, driven primarily by strong demand in advance of the recompete of the in-theater logistics support business. As of December 31, 2009, STI had funded and total backlog of $0.3 billion and $1.0 billion, respectively. On a pro-forma basis, the combined companies had $1.4 billion funded and $4.8 billion total backlog to support growth in 2010 and beyond.

“We are starting to see the fruits of our strategy to build on our great foundation of cash generation and redirect resources to top-line growth initiatives,” said Lawrence B. Prior, III, ManTech President and Chief Operating Officer. “We have added more than 800 employees since the last earnings call, and we are demonstrating on a daily basis that we can take away market share. The recent Quadrennial Defense Review and FY11 Presidential Budget submission make it clear that we are absolutely in the growth markets in the federal government.”

Forward Guidance

ManTech enters fiscal year 2010 with a healthy backlog and a strong market position, and the company expects to achieve revenue, net income, and diluted earnings per share within the ranges specified in the table below. The guidance includes the acquisition of STI, but it assumes no future acquisitions or divestitures.

 

Measure

   Fiscal 2010 Guidance

Revenue (million)

   $2,630 - $2,850

Net Income (million)

   $128 - $138

Diluted Earnings Per Share

   $3.50 - $3.75

Kevin M. Phillips, ManTech Chief Financial Officer commented, “We feel confident forecasting robust growth for fiscal year 2010. Because of the increased levels and variability of material purchases in our revenue as we provide direct support to our customers in theater, we have moved to a policy of providing annual guidance with quarterly updates as appropriate. Still, we are totally committed to providing potential investors with sufficient information to make informed decisions based on our business prospects.”
