New Business Awards
 
    Across the three lines of business, new business awards for the quarter were $3.2 billion. North American Public Sector (NPS) contributed approximately $1.2 billion, Business Solutions & Services (BSS) reported $0.8 billion, and Managed Services Sector (MSS) closed $1.2 billion of new business.
 
Business Outlook
 
    “I am encouraged by the size and quality of our current pipeline,” said Laphen. “We are seeing increased demand emerging from some regions and within some industries.  Our strategic targets of Cloud, Cyber and Healthcare, as well as network management are all indicating positive signs.  Although our businesses are impacted by the overall sluggish recovery and, to a lesser extent government spending, we have a very robust backlog and I remain optimistic that we will realize meaningful growth beginning in the second half of our fiscal year.”
 
    The Company reconfirmed guidance for the full year as follows:
 
    Bookings in excess of $18 billion, revenue in the range of $16.8 billion to $17.2 billion, operating margin between 9% and 9.25%, EPS in the $5.30 to $5.40 range, and Free Cash Flow in excess of 90% of net income attributable to CSC common shareholders.
 

 
Lines of Business
 
    For the quarter, NPS Revenue was $1.55 billion (up 2.2% from first quarter last year), MSS Revenue was $1.60 billion (up 2.2% from first quarter last year) and BSS Revenue was $0.82 billion (down 2% from first quarter last year).

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

    The following tables reconcile operating income and free cash flow to the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. CSC management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors regarding the Company’s financial condition and results of operations as they provide another measure of the Company’s profitability and ability to service its debt, and are considered important measures by financial analysts covering CSC and its peers. Management uses operating income to evaluate business unit financial performance and it is one of the measures used in assessing management performance. One of the limitations associated with the use of operating income (as compared to reported earnings) is that it does not reflect the complete financial results of the Company. CSC compensates for these limitations by providing reconciliation between operating income and income before taxes.
