Reported Results
For the fourth quarter of 2010, NCI reported record revenue of $171 million compared to $125
million for the fourth quarter of 2009, with a revenue growth rate of approximately 37%. Operating
income for the fourth quarter of 2010 was $11.8 million, compared to $11.5 million for the fourth
quarter of 2009. Operating margin of 6.9% for the fourth quarter of 2010 compared with an operating
margin of 9.2% for the same period in 2009. Net income for the fourth quarter of 2010 was $6.9
million, compared to $6.7 million for the same period in 2009. However, the fourth quarter and full
year 2009 results contained a one-time gain of $2.3 million related to the resolution of the
contingent liability associated with the earn-out from the acquisition of TRS Consulting completed
in the third quarter of 2009. Excluding this gain only, our fourth quarter 2009 adjusted operating
margin was 7.4%. Diluted earnings per share were $0.50 per share for the fourth quarter of 2010
compared to $0.49 per share for the fourth quarter of 2009. The effective tax rate for the fourth
quarter of 2010 and 2009 was 40.7%. Diluted shares outstanding for the fourth quarter of
2010 were 13.9 million shares compared to 13.8 million shares for the fourth quarter of 2009.
For the full year of 2010, NCI reported revenue of $581 million compared to $469 million for 2009
with an organic revenue growth rate of approximately 22%. We define our organic revenue growth rate
as the increase in revenue, from period to period, excluding the effect of acquisitions. Operating
income for 2010 was $39.8 million, or an operating margin of 6.8%, compared to $37.6 million, or an
operating margin of 8.0%, for 2009. The full year 2009 results contained a one-time gain of $2.3
million related to the resolution of the contingent liability associated with the earn-out from the
acquisition of TRS Consulting completed in the third quarter of 2009. Excluding this gain only,
our full year 2009 adjusted operating margin was 7.5%. Net income for 2010 was $23.9 million,
compared to $22.2 million in 2009. Diluted earnings per share for 2010 were $1.72 per share,
compared to $1.61 per share for 2009. Diluted shares outstanding for 2010 were 13.9 million and
2009 were 13.8 million.
CEO Comments
Charles K. Narang, NCIs Chairman and CEO, said, 2010 was a very successful year for NCI in many
ways. Most importantly, we met our long-standing objective and crossed over the $500 million in
revenue mark. With this foundation in place, we are now focused on reaching $1 billion in revenue
within the next three to five years. While the macro environment presents some challenges, we have
a seasoned management team, a robust portfolio of GWAC/IDIQ contracts, a cadre of skilled and
talented employees, and a reputation for superior customer satisfaction to navigate the current
headwinds.
Business Highlights
NCIs President, Terry Glasgow, stated, We are very pleased to have delivered 22% organic revenue
growth in 2010. This makes the 6th consecutive year since becoming a public company
that we have delivered double digit organic revenue growth averaging approximately 16% organic
revenue growth over that period of time. In addition, we are very pleased with the overall
execution of our business operations and with the outstanding reputation we have built with our
customers. We believe we are well positioned for future growth in our targeted business areas.

Forward-Looking Statement: Statements and assumptions made in this press release, which do not
address historical facts, constitute forward-looking statements that NCI believes to be within
the definition in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and involve risks and
uncertainties, many of which are outside of our control. Words such as may, will, intends,
should, expects, plans, projects, anticipates, believes, estimates, predicts,
potential, continue, or opportunity, or the negative of these terms or words of similar
import are intended to identify forward-looking statements.
Such statements are subject to factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from
anticipated results. The factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those
anticipated include, but are not limited to, the following: our dependence on our contracts with
Federal Government agencies, particularly within the U.S. Department of Defense, for substantially
all of our revenue; continued funding of U.S. Government, based on a change in spending priorities,
or in the event of a priority need for funds, such as homeland security, the war on terrorism or
rebuilding Iraq; Federal Governmental shutdowns (such as that which occurred during the Federal
Governments 1996 fiscal year) and other potential delays in the Government appropriations process;
risk of a Federal Government use of funding agencies through a Continuing Resolution instead of a
budget appropriation, which may cause our customers within those agencies to defer or reduce work
under our current contracts; risk of contract performance or termination; failure to achieve
contract awards in connection with recompetes for present business and/or competition for new
business; adverse results of Federal Government audits of our government contracts; Government
contract procurement (such as bid protest, small business set asides, etc.) and termination risks;
competitive factors such as pricing pressures and competition to hire and retain employees
(particularly those with security clearances); failure to successfully identify and integrate
future acquired companies or businesses into our operations or to realize any accretive or
synergistic effects from such acquisitions or to effectively integrate acquisitions appropriate to
the achievement of our strategic plans; economic conditions in the United States, including
conditions that result from terrorist activities or war; material changes in laws or regulations
applicable to our businesses, particularly legislation affecting (i) government contracts for
services, (ii) outsourcing of activities that have been performed by the government, (iii)
government contracts containing organizational conflict of interest (OCI) clauses, (iv) delays
related to agency specific funding freezes, (v) competition for task orders under Government Wide
Acquisition Contracts (GWACs), agency-specific Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ)
contracts and/or schedule contracts with the General Services Administration; and (vi) the
Governments insourcing of previously contracted support services and the realignment of funds to
other non-defense related programs; and (vii) our own ability to achieve the objectives of
near-term or long-range business plans, including internal systems failures. These and other risk
factors are more fully discussed in the section titled Risks Factors in NCIs Form 10-K filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and from time to time, in other filings with the
SEC, such as our Forms 8-K and Forms 10-Q.
The forward-looking statements included in this news release are only made as of the date of this
news release and NCI undertakes no obligation to publicly update any of the forward-looking
statements made herein, whether as a result of new information, subsequent events or circumstances,
changes in expectations or otherwise.
