CSC REPORTS THIRD QUARTER RESULTS
Increased EPS and Free Cash Flow
FALLS CHURCH, Va., Feb. 9 – CSC (NYSE: CSC) today reported third quarter fiscal 2011 revenue of $4.01 billion and fully diluted earnings per share (EPS) of $1.54 compared to third quarter fiscal 2010 revenue of $3.95 billion and EPS of $1.36. The year to date revenue was $11.93 billion and EPS was $3.64 compared to the year to date fiscal 2010 revenue of $11.89 billion and EPS of $3.62.
Operating cash flow was $462 million for the quarter, as compared to $131 million from the previous year. For the year to date, operating cash flow was $804 million compared to $407 million from the previous year.
Free Cash Flow was $253 million for the quarter, as compared to -$107 million from the previous year. For the year to date, free cash flow was $110 million compared to -$140 million from the previous year.
Commenting on the results, CSC Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Michael W. Laphen said, “Our revenue growth of 1.4% (2.1% constant currency) reflects year over year growth within all of our business sectors. Sequentially, our Public Sector revenue continues to be impacted by award decision delays by the federal government while our Commercial segments continue on their growth trajectory. Operating results were primarily impacted by a trailing effect from the previously disclosed Nordics Region issue, offset by a lower tax rate, resulting in a year over year increase in EPS. I am pleased to see the positive results from our continued focus on cash management and the corresponding contribution to our balance sheet strength.”
New Business Awards
Across the three lines of business, new business awards for the quarter were $2.3 billion. North American Public Sector (NPS) contributed approximately $0.5 billion, Business Solutions & Services (BSS) reported $0.8 billion and Managed Services Sector (MSS) closed $1.0 billion of new business.

Revenue by Line of Business
For the quarter, NPS revenue was $1.48 billion (up 0.3% from the third quarter last year), MSS revenue was $1.65 billion (up 2.2% from the third quarter last year) and BSS revenue was $899 million (up 1.4% from the third quarter last year).
Business Outlook
“The acquisitions we announced during the quarter further demonstrated the progress we are making in the expansion of our capabilities in Cyber Security and Healthcare,” continued Laphen. “We have also cloud-enabled more of our data centers and we are experiencing more demand for these services. Although the sluggish pace of new business awards in NPS is impacting the rate of our revenue growth, we remain confident our businesses will grow in line with our longer term projections and our Commercial businesses, which are already growing at a steady pace, will continue to benefit from the opportunities arising from Cloud, Cyber and Healthcare.”

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.
