CSC REPORTS SECOND QUARTER RESULTS
 
Sequential Improvements in Revenue and Profit
 

 
FALLS CHURCH, Va., Nov. 10 – CSC (NYSE: CSC) today reported second quarter fiscal 2011 revenue of $4.0 billion and fully diluted earnings per share (EPS) of $1.18 compared to second quarter fiscal 2010 revenue of $4.0 billion and EPS of $1.40 ($1.15 after normalizing for the tax rate). The half year revenue was $7.9 billion and EPS was $2.09 compared to half year fiscal 2010 revenue of $7.9 billion and EPS of $2.26 ($1.97 after normalizing for the tax rate).
 
Commenting on the results, CSC Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Michael Laphen said, “Our underlying performance in the quarter continues to track in a positive direction. We achieved a solid quarter in new business bookings which supports our anticipated growth in the second half of the fiscal year. Our pre-tax margin and operating margin improved sequentially, this despite a series of non-recurring accounting adjustments in MSS, primarily in the Nordics Region.”
 
Highlights for the quarter include:
 

·  
New business awards of $4.5 billion for the quarter, compared to $4.6 billion from the previous year.

·  
Pre-tax margin of 6.92% for the quarter, an increase of 49 basis points from the previous year.

·  
Operating margin of 7.75% for the quarter,  a reduction of 69 basis points from the previous year.

·  
Operating cash flow of $402 million for the quarter, as compared to $572 million from the previous year. At the half year, operating cash flow was $342 million compared to $275 million from the previous year.

·  
Free Cash Flow of $175 million for the quarter, as compared to $429 million from the previous year. At the half year, free cash flow was -$143 million compared to -$33 million from the previous year.

 
 

 


New Business Awards

Across the three lines of business, new business awards for the quarter were $4.5 billion. North American Public Sector (NPS) contributed approximately $2.9 billion, Business Solutions & Services (BSS) reported $0.8 billion, and Managed Services Sector (MSS) closed $0.8 billion of new business.
 
Lines of Business
 
For the quarter, NPS revenue was $1.55 billion (down 4.5% from the second quarter last year mainly due to the previous year’s benefit of a claims settlement), MSS revenue was $1.58 billion (up 0.1% from the second quarter last year) and BSS revenue was $0.87 billion (up 0.6% from the second quarter last year and up 6% when adjusted for currency and the fiscal 2010 acquisition and divestiture).
 
Business Outlook
 
 “While our NPS business is still experiencing a slowdown in the pace of customer decisions, our continued success in capturing sizeable IDIQ awards positions us for meaningful second half growth,” said Laphen. “Our commercial businesses have achieved new logo wins and are building a robust pipeline, particularly in our targeted areas of Applications Outsourcing, Cyber and Cloud solutions.”
 
Guidance
 
The company updated its guidance for the full year, increasing New Business Bookings and EPS while modifying its Revenue and Margin range as a consequence of the aforementioned NPS award delays and the adjustments in the Nordics. Free Cash Flow guidance is unchanged.
 

 
The revised guidance is:
 
 


New Business Bookings
 
In excess of $18.5 billion
 
Revenue
 
$16.5 – $17.0 billion
 
Margin Rate
  8.5% – 9.0%
EPS
  $5.35 – $5.45    
FCF greater than
 
90% of net income attributable to CSC common shareholders.

Non-GAAP Measures
 
In an effort to provide investors with additional information regarding the Company’s results as determined by generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the company has also disclosed in this press release non-GAAP information which management believes provides useful information to investors, including: operating income, operating margin, free cash flow and free cash flow as a percentage of net income attributable to CSC common shareholders.  A reconciliation of the adjustments to GAAP results for this quarter and prior periods, as well as the rationale for management’s use of non-GAAP measures, is included in the tables below.

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.
