Note 1—Business Overview and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

Overview

Science Applications International Corporation (collectively, with its consolidated subsidiaries, the “Company”) is a leading provider of technical, engineering and enterprise information technology (IT) services primarily to the U.S. government. The Company provides engineering and integration services for large, complex projects and offers a broad range of services with a targeted emphasis on higher-end, differentiated technology services. The Company is organized as a matrix comprised of five customer facing organizations supported by several service line organizations. Each of the Company’s customer facing organizations is focused on providing the Company’s comprehensive technical and enterprise IT service offerings to one or more agencies of the U.S federal government. During the second quarter of the current fiscal year, the Company made operational and organizational changes to its management reporting structure resulting in the identification of a single operating segment.

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial information has been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for interim reporting purposes. References to “financial statements” refer to the condensed and consolidated financial statements of the Company, which include the statements of income and comprehensive income, balance sheets, statement of equity and statements of cash flows. These financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). All intercompany transactions and account balances within the Company have been eliminated. The financial statements are unaudited, but in the opinion of management include all adjustments, which consist of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation thereof. The results reported in these financial statements are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the entire year and should be read in conjunction with the information contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 3, 2017.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingencies at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates inherent in the preparation of the financial statements may include, but are not limited to estimated profitability of long-term contracts, income taxes, fair value measurements, fair value of goodwill and other intangible assets, and contingencies. Estimates have been prepared by management on the basis of the most current and best available information at the time of estimation and actual results could differ from those estimates.

Changes in estimates of revenues, cost of revenues or profits related to contracts accounted for using the cost-to-cost and efforts expended methods of percentage-of-completion accounting are recognized in operating income in the period in which such changes are made for the inception-to-date effect of the changes. Changes in these estimates can routinely occur over the contract performance period for a variety of reasons, which include: changes in contract scope; changes in contract cost estimates due to unanticipated cost growth or reassessments of risks impacting costs; changes in estimated incentive or award fees; and performance being better or worse than previously estimated. Aggregate changes in contract estimates increased operating income by $5 million ($0.07 per diluted share) and $1 million ($0.01 per diluted share) for the three and nine months ended November 3, 2017, respectively, and increased operating income by $5 million ($0.08 per diluted share) and $18 million ($0.26 per diluted share) for the three and nine months ended November 4, 2016, respectively.

Restructuring

The Company expects to complete the Restructuring in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018, with total expenses expected to be incurred and recognized of approximately $13 million, comprised of $6 million in severance expense and $7 million in lease exit costs. No cash payments were made for the Restructuring for the three and nine months ended November 3, 2017.

Reporting Periods

The Company utilizes a 52/53 week fiscal year ending on the Friday closest to January 31, with fiscal quarters typically consisting of 13 weeks. Fiscal 2017 began on January 30, 2016 and ended on February 3, 2017, while fiscal 2018 began on February 4, 2017 and ends on February 2, 2018. The number of weeks for each quarter for fiscal 2018 and 2017 are as follows:



	Fiscal 2018	Fiscal 2017
	(weeks)
First Quarter	13	14
Second Quarter	13	13
Third Quarter	13	13
Fourth Quarter	13	13
Fiscal Year	52	53

Operating Cycle

The Company’s operating cycle for long-term contracts may be greater than one year and is measured by the average time intervening between the inception and the completion of those contracts. Contract-related assets and liabilities are classified as current assets and current liabilities.

Derivative Instruments Designated as Cash Flow Hedges

Derivative instruments are recorded on the condensed and consolidated balance sheets at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on derivatives designated as cash flow hedges are reported in other comprehensive (loss) income and reclassified to earnings in a manner that matches the timing of the earnings impact of the hedged transactions. The ineffective portion of all hedges, if any, is recognized immediately in earnings.

The Company’s fixed interest rate swaps are considered over-the-counter derivatives, and fair value is calculated using a standard pricing model for interest rate swaps with contractual terms for maturities, amortization and interest rates. Level 2, or market observable inputs (such as yield and credit curves), are used within the standard pricing models in order to determine fair value. The fair value is an estimate of the amount that the Company would pay or receive as of a measurement date if the agreements were transferred to a third party or canceled. See Note 6 for further discussion on the Company’s derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges.

Accounting Standards Updates

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-9, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements and some cost guidance included in the Accounting Standards Codification (ASC). This ASU is based on the principle that revenue is recognized to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The ASU also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments, and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Deferral of the Effective Date, resulting in a one-year deferral of the effective date of ASU 2014-9, which will become effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2019.

The Company intends to adopt the standard as of February 3, 2018, using the modified retrospective transition method. Upon adoption, the Company will recognize the cumulative effect of adopting this standard as an adjustment to its opening balance of retained earnings. Prior periods will not be retrospectively adjusted, but the Company will maintain dual reporting for the year of initial application disclosing the effect of adoption.

The Company has designed controls over the adoption and continues to evaluate the potential effects on its financial statements and has been revising its accounting policies, business processes, systems, controls and procedures to conform to the new standard. The Company has identified certain changes that will result from the future adoption of the new standard, but has not yet determined the potential impact to the consolidated financial statements. The Company will continue to recognize revenue over time as services are rendered to fulfill its contractual obligations; however, under the new standard, the Company generally will account for customer option period exercises (renewals) and service contract modifications prospectively, instead of as a cumulative adjustment to revenue under a single unit of accounting. Also, award and incentive based fees generally will be recognized during the discrete periods of performance to which they relate as opposed to on a cumulative basis over the contract period. Additionally, the Company will no longer defer the recognition of costs and revenues associated with significant upfront material acquisitions on programs currently accounted for using the efforts-expended method of percentage of completion. Instead, the Company may recognize revenue on an adjusted cost-to-cost basis, where the amount of revenue that is recognized is equal to the amount of costs incurred plus profit based on the measure of progress.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-2, Leases (Topic 842), which supersedes the existing lease accounting standards (Topic 840). Under the new guidance, a lessee will be required to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities for all leases with lease terms in excess of twelve months. The recognition, measurement and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee primarily will depend on its classification as either a finance lease or operating lease. The criteria for distinction between a finance lease and an operating lease are substantially similar to existing lease guidance for capital leases and operating leases. Some changes to lessor accounting have been made to conform and align that guidance with the lessee guidance and other areas within GAAP, such as Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). ASU 2016-2 becomes effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 and will be adopted using a modified retrospective approach. The Company has commenced the assessment phase of the project and is evaluating the impact on its financial statements from the future adoption of the standard.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-9, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which provides amendments to simplify several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions. Among other requirements in the new standard, the ASU requires that an entity, (i) recognize excess tax benefits and deficiencies related to employee share-based payment transactions in the provision for income taxes, instead of in equity; (ii) classify excess tax benefits as an operating activity on the statement of cash flows, instead of the previous classification as a financing activity; (iii) classify all cash payments made to the taxing authorities on the employees’ behalf for withheld shares as financing activities on the statement of cash flows; and (iv) make a policy election to either estimate expected forfeitures or to account for them as they occur. The Company adopted the standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2018. As a result for the three and nine months ended November 3, 2017, the Company recognized a $2 million and $22 million tax benefit, respectively, which is included in the provision for income taxes on the condensed and consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income and as an operating activity in the condensed and consolidated statement of cash flows. The Company will continue to classify cash paid for tax withholding purposes as a financing activity in the statement of cash flows and to estimate forfeitures rather than account for them as they occur.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash, which requires that restricted cash be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. The Company early adopted this new standard during the first quarter of fiscal 2018, which resulted in a $4 million reduction to cash flows from investing activities for the nine months ended November 4, 2016. A reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash for each period presented is provided above under the heading “Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash.”

Other Accounting Standards Updates effective after November 3, 2017 are not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

Note 2—Earnings Per Share:

Basic earnings per share (EPS) is computed by dividing net income by the basic weighted-average number of shares outstanding. Diluted EPS is computed similarly to basic EPS, except the weighted-average number of shares outstanding is increased to include the dilutive effect of outstanding stock options and other stock-based awards.

A reconciliation of the weighted-average number of shares outstanding used to compute basic and diluted EPS was:



	Three Months Ended		Nine Months Ended
	November 3, 2017	November 4, 2016	November 3, 2017	November 4, 2016
	(in millions)

Dilutive common share equivalents - stock options and other stock-based awards	1.0	1.4	1.3	1.4
Diluted weighted-average number of shares outstanding	44.2	45.6	44.8	46.0

The following stock-based awards were excluded from the weighted-average number of shares outstanding used to compute diluted EPS:



	Three Months Ended		Nine Months Ended

Note 3—Stock-Based Compensation:

Stock Options

During the nine months ended November 3, 2017, the Company granted certain employees 0.2 million stock options with a weighted-average exercise price and weighted-average grant date fair value of $73.36 and $16.34, respectively. These options will expire on the seventh anniversary of the grant date and will vest ratably on each anniversary of the grant date over a three-year period.

Restricted Stock Units (RSUs)

During the nine months ended November 3, 2017, the Company granted certain employees 0.4 million RSUs with a weighted-average grant date fair value of $72.86, which will vest ratably on each anniversary of the grant date over a four-year period.

Performance Shares

During the nine months ended November 3, 2017, the Company granted to certain employees 0.1 million performance share awards with a grant date fair value of $72.91 per award. These awards will cliff vest at the end of the third fiscal year following the grant date, subject to meeting the minimum service requirements and the achievement of certain annual and cumulative financial metrics of the Company’s performance, with the number of shares ultimately issued, if any, ranging up to 150% of the specified target shares.

Note 4—Income Taxes:

Provision for income taxes as a percentage of income before income taxes was 30.7% and 21.5% for the three and nine months ended November 3, 2017, respectively, and 28.3% and 33.6% for the three and nine months ended November 4, 2016, respectively. The tax rate was higher for the three months ended November 3, 2017 compared to the prior year period due to lower research and development credits, partially offset by $2 million in excess tax benefits. The tax rate was lower for the nine months ended November 3, 2017 compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to $22 million in excess tax benefits recognized for the nine months ended November 3, 2017. The excess tax benefits are related to employee share-based compensation as a result of the adoption of ASU 2016-9, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, see “Accounting Standards Updates” in Note 1. Tax rates for the periods ended November 3, 2017 were lower than the combined federal and state statutory rates due to excess tax benefits related to employee share-based compensation and due to permanent tax benefits, including research and development credits and the manufacturer’s tax deduction.

As of November 3, 2017, the balance of unrecognized tax benefits included liabilities for uncertainty in income taxes of $6 million; $5 million of which is classified as other long-term liabilities on the condensed and consolidated balance sheets and $1 million of which is classified as a reduction to the corresponding deferred tax asset and is presented in other assets on the condensed and consolidated balance sheets. $6 million of unrecognized tax benefits, if recognized, would affect the effective income tax rate for the Company. While the Company believes it has adequate accruals for uncertainty in income taxes, the tax authorities, on review of the Company’s tax filings, may determine that the Company owes taxes in excess of recorded accruals, or the recorded accruals may be in excess of the final settlement amounts agreed to by tax authorities. Although the timing of such reviews is not certain, we do not believe that it is reasonably possible that the unrecognized tax benefits will materially change in the next 12 months.

Total long-term debt, net of current portion					$	1,006	$	(12	)	$	994	$	1,035	$	(13	)	$	1,022

As of November 3, 2017, the Company has a $1.2 billion credit facility (the Credit Facility), which consists of a $200 million secured revolving credit facility (the Revolving Credit Facility), a $643 million secured term facility (Term Loan A Facility), and a $400 million secured term facility (Term Loan B Facility) (together, the Term Loan Facilities). On August 2, 2017, the Company borrowed $25 million under the Revolving Credit Facility, which was repaid in full on August 18, 2017. The Revolving Credit Facility is available to the Company through August 2021 and there is no balance outstanding as of November 3, 2017.

The Credit Facility contains certain restrictive covenants applicable to the Company and its subsidiaries including a requirement to maintain a Senior Secured Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) of not greater than 4.00 to 1.00 until July 31, 2016, and not greater than 3.75 to 1.00 thereafter, and requires the Company to make an annual prepayment as a portion of its Excess Cash Flow (as defined in the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement). As of November 3, 2017, the Company was in compliance with the covenants under its Credit Facility.

As of November 3, 2017 and February 3, 2017, the carrying value of the Company’s outstanding debt obligations approximated its fair value. The fair value of long-term debt is calculated using Level 2 inputs, based on interest rates available for debt with terms and maturities similar to the Company’s Term Loan Facilities.

Scitor Acquisition

On May 4, 2015, the Company completed the acquisition of Scitor, a leading global provider of technical services to the U.S. intelligence community and other U.S. government customers. The acquisition was funded from cash on hand and increased borrowings. Purchase consideration paid to acquire Scitor was $764 million (net of cash acquired), including $43 million which was deposited to escrow accounts. In August 2015 $3 million was released from escrow to the sellers after finalizing the working capital adjustment and another $13 million was released in September 2016 that was held to secure a portion of the sellers’ indemnification obligations. Any remaining amount in escrow at the end of the indemnification period will be distributed to the sellers.

Agreements with Former Parent

The Company commenced its operations on September 27, 2013 (the Distribution Date) following completion of a tax-free spin-off transaction from its former parent company, Leidos Holdings, Inc. (formerly SAIC, Inc., collectively with its consolidated subsidiaries, “former Parent”). In the spin-off transaction, former Parent’s technical, engineering and enterprise IT services business was separated (the separation) into an independent, publicly traded company named Science Applications International Corporation (formerly SAIC Gemini, Inc.).

Former Parent and the Company executed various agreements to provide mechanisms for an orderly transition and to govern certain ongoing relationships between the companies following the separation. The agreements include a Distribution Agreement, Employee Matters Agreement, Tax Matters Agreement, Master Transition Services Agreement, and Master Transitional Contracting Agreement (MTCA). These agreements generally provide that each party is responsible for its respective assets, liabilities and obligations, including employee benefits, insurance and tax-related assets and liabilities. The MTCA also governs the relationship between former Parent and the Company with regard to the treatment of contracts, proposals, and teaming arrangements where both companies are or will be jointly performing work after separation. Each of former Parent and the Company indemnify the other party for work performed by it under the MTCA.

Contingent losses that were unknown at the time of separation and arise from the operation of the Company’s historical business or the former Parent’s historical corporate losses will be shared between the parties to the extent that losses in any such category exceed $50 million in the aggregate. If they arise and exceed the $50 million threshold, the Company will be responsible for 30% of the former Parent’s incremental contingent losses on corporate claims (and former Parent will be responsible for 70% of the Company’s incremental losses on claims relating to operations that exceed $50 million).

Government Investigations, Audits and Reviews

The Company is routinely subject to investigations and reviews relating to compliance with various laws and regulations with respect, in particular, to its role as a contractor to federal, state and local government customers and in connection with performing services in countries outside of the United States. U.S. government agencies, including the Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA), the Defense Contract Management Agency and others, routinely audit and review a contractor’s performance on government contracts, indirect rates and pricing practices, and compliance with applicable contracting and procurement laws, regulations and standards. They also review the adequacy of the contractor’s compliance with government standards for its business systems. Adverse findings in these investigations, audits, or reviews can lead to criminal, civil or administrative proceedings, and the Company could face disallowance of previously billed costs, penalties, fines, compensatory damages and suspension or debarment from doing business with governmental agencies. Due to the Company’s reliance on government contracts, adverse findings could also have a material impact on the Company’s business, including its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

The indirect cost audits by the DCAA of the Company’s business remain open for fiscal 2012 and subsequent years. Although the Company has recorded contract revenues subsequent to and including fiscal 2012 based on an estimate of costs that the Company believes will be approved on final audit, the Company does not know the outcome of any ongoing or future audits. If future completed audit adjustments exceed the Company’s reserves for potential adjustments, the Company’s profitability could be materially adversely affected.

(UNAUDITED)

The Company has recorded reserves for estimated net amounts to be refunded to customers for potential adjustments for indirect cost audits and compliance with Cost Accounting Standards, which include indemnification obligations owing to former Parent for periods prior to the Distribution Date. As of November 3, 2017, the Company has recorded a total liability of $39 million for estimated net amounts to be refunded to customers for potential adjustments from audits of contract costs, which is presented in accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the condensed and consolidated balance sheets. Any additional amounts which may be determined to be owed for periods prior to the separation will be allocated to former Parent and the Company in proportions determined in accordance with the Distribution Agreement.

Army Brigade Combat Team Modernization Engineering, Manufacturing and Development (BCTM) Program

The BCTM program was terminated for convenience by the Department of Defense (DoD) effective in September 2011. From October 2009 through termination, the Company and its prime contractor performed on this program under an undefinitized change order with a provision that allowed the Company to receive a provisional fixed fee (contract profit) lower than the estimated fixed fee due, pending completion of contract negotiations. The Company recognized revenues of approximately $480 million (including provisional fixed fee) from October 2009 through August 2013 under the undefinitized change order. In September 2017 the final contract termination proposal was ratified by the DoD. As a result of the ratification and final settlement the Company recognized approximately $2 million in additional revenues and profit in the third quarter of fiscal 2018. All administrative actions related to the close out of the BCTM program are complete as of November 3, 2017.

Letters of Credit and Surety Bonds

The Company has outstanding obligations relating to letters of credit of $11 million as of November 3, 2017, principally related to guarantees on insurance policies. The Company also has outstanding obligations relating to surety bonds in the amount of $17 million, principally related to performance and payment bonds on the Company’s contracts. The majority of the surety bonds outstanding were initially obtained by former Parent and the Company is required to satisfy these obligations under the terms of the Distribution Agreement.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations and quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed and consolidated financial statements and the related notes. It contains forward-looking statements (which may be identified by words such as those described in “Risk Factors—Forward-Looking Statement Risks” in Part I of the most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K), including statements regarding our intent, belief, or current expectations with respect to, among other things, trends affecting our financial condition or results of operations (including our financial targets discussed below under “Management of Operating Performance and Reporting” and “Liquidity and Capital Resources”); backlog; our industry; government budgets and spending; market opportunities; the impact of competition; and the impact of the Scitor acquisition. Such statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risk, uncertainties and assumptions, and actual results may differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors. Risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could cause or contribute to these material differences include those discussed below, in “Risk Factors” in Part II of this report and in Part I of the most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K. Due to such risks, uncertainties and assumptions you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. We do not undertake any obligation to update these factors or to publicly announce the results of any changes to our forward-looking statements due to future results or developments.

We use the terms "SAIC," the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” to refer to Science Applications International Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries.

The Company utilizes a 52/53 week fiscal year, ending on the Friday closest to January 31, with fiscal quarters typically consisting of 13 weeks. Fiscal 2017 began on January 30, 2016 and ended on February 3, 2017, while fiscal 2018 began on February 4, 2017 and ends on February 2, 2018. The number of weeks for each quarter for fiscal 2018 and 2017 are as follows:



	Fiscal 2018	Fiscal 2017
	(weeks)
First Quarter	13	14
Second Quarter	13	13
Third Quarter	13	13
Fourth Quarter	13	13
Fiscal Year	52	53

Business Overview

We are a leading technology integrator providing full life-cycle services and solutions in the technical, engineering and enterprise information technology (IT) markets. We developed our brand by addressing our customers’ mission critical needs and solving their most complex problems for over 45 years. As one of the largest pure-play technical service providers to the U.S. government, we serve markets of significant scale and opportunity. Our primary customers are the departments and agencies of the U.S. government. Our long history of serving the U.S. government has afforded us the ability to develop strong and longstanding relationships with some of the largest customers in the markets we serve.

Economic Opportunities, Challenges, and Risks

In fiscal 2017, we generated greater than 95% of our revenues from contracts with the U.S. government, including subcontracts on which we perform. Our business performance is affected by the overall level of U.S. government spending and the alignment of our offerings and capabilities with the budget priorities of the U.S. government. While we believe that national security will continue to be a priority, the U.S. government budget deficit and the national debt have created pressure to examine and reduce spending across all federal agencies. Baseline spending for the Department of Defense (DoD) through U.S. government fiscal year 2023 has been reduced and there may be further changes that negatively impact discretionary spending trends across all government agencies. Adverse changes in fiscal and economic conditions could materially impact our business. Some changes that could have an adverse impact on our business are the manner in which spending reductions are implemented (including sequestration), future government shutdowns and issues related to required increases to the nation’s debt ceiling.

SCIENCE APPLICATIONS INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION

The U.S. government has increasingly relied on contracts that are subject to a competitive bidding process (including indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (IDIQ), U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) schedules and other multi-award contracts) which has resulted in greater competition and increased pricing pressure. We expect that a majority of the business that we seek in the foreseeable future will be awarded through a competitive bidding process.

Despite the budget and competitive pressures impacting the industry, we believe we are well positioned to protect and expand existing customer relationships and benefit from opportunities that we have not previously pursued. Our scale, size and prime contractor leadership position are expected to help differentiate us from our competitors, especially on large contracts. We believe our long-term, trusted customer relationships and deep technical expertise provide us with the sophistication to handle highly complex mission-critical contracts. SAIC’s value proposition is found in the proven ability to serve as a trusted adviser to our customers. In doing so, we leverage our expertise and scale to help them execute their mission.

We succeed as a business based on the solutions we deliver, our past performance and our ability to compete on price. Our solutions, inspired through innovation, are based on best practices and technology transfer. Our past performance was achieved by employee dedication and customer focus. Our current cost structure, as well as our ongoing efforts to reduce costs by strategic sourcing and developing repeatable offerings, is expected to allow us to compete effectively on price in an evolving environment. Our ability to be competitive in the future will continue to be driven by our reputation of successful program execution, competitive cost structure and efficiencies in assigning the right people, at the right time, in support of our contracts.

During fiscal 2018, the Company initiated restructuring activities intended to improve operational efficiency, reduce costs, and better position the Company to drive future growth (the "Restructuring"). Management’s restructuring activities in the second and third fiscal quarter included involuntary and voluntary terminations. The restructuring activities are also expected to include future consolidation of existing leased facilities. The Company expects to complete the Restructuring in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018, with total expenses expected to be incurred and recognized of approximately $13 million, comprised of $6 million in severance expense and $7 million in lease exit costs. Management expects the Restructuring to result in future annual gross cost savings of approximately $20 million which equates to net cost savings of approximately $11 million based on our current mix of cost-reimbursable contracts. Refer to "Results of Operations" below, and "Restructuring" in Note 1 of the notes to the condensed and consolidated financial statements for further details.

Management of Operating Performance and Reporting

We manage our business to achieve our long-term financial targets, which we expect to accomplish on average and over time. These financial targets include:


•	low single digit annual internal revenue growth percentage,


•	adjusted EBITDA margin expansion of 10 to 20 basis points annually, and


•	return of capital in excess of operating needs.

Internal revenue growth percentage and adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures described in more detail in “Non-GAAP Measures” below.

Our business and program management process is directed by professional managers focused on satisfying our customers by providing high quality services in achieving contract requirements. These managers carefully monitor contract margin performance by constantly evaluating contract risks and opportunities. Through each contract’s life cycle, program managers review performance and update contract performance estimates to reflect their understanding of the best information available. For contracts accounted for under the percentage-of-completion method in which incurred costs or efforts expended are used as a measure of progress to project completion, updates to estimates are recognized on inception-to-date activity, during the period of adjustment, resulting in either a favorable or unfavorable impact to operating income.

SCIENCE APPLICATIONS INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION

We evaluate our results of operations by considering the drivers causing changes in revenues, operating income and operating cash flows. Given that revenues fluctuate on our contract portfolio over time due to contract awards and completions, changes in customer requirements, and increases or decreases in ordering volume of materials, we evaluate significant trends and fluctuations in these terms. Whether performed by our employees or by our subcontractors, we primarily provide services and, as a result, our cost of revenues are predominantly variable. We also analyze our cost mix (labor, subcontractor or materials) in order to understand operating margin because contracts performed with a higher proportion of SAIC labor are generally more profitable. Changes in costs of revenues as a percentage of revenue other than from revenue volume or cost mix are normally driven by fluctuations in shared or corporate costs or cumulative revenue adjustments due to changes in contract estimates.

Changes in operating cash flows are described with regard to changes in cash generated through the delivery of services, significant drivers of fluctuations in assets or liabilities and the impacts of changes in timing of cash receipts or disbursements.

Results of Operations

The primary financial performance measures we use to manage our business and monitor results of operations are revenues, operating income, and cash flows from operating activities. The following table summarizes our results of operations:



	Three Months Ended								Nine Months Ended
	November 3, 2017			Percent change		November 4, 2016			November 3, 2017			Percent change		November 4, 2016
	(in millions)

Selling, general and administrative expenses	37			(8	)%	40			110			(15	)%	130
Operating income	72			(3	)%	74			194			(8	)%	210
As a percentage of revenues	6.3		%			6.6		%	5.8		%			6.1		%
Net income	$	43		2	%	$	42		$	128		14	%	$	112
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	80		(48	)%	$	153		$	133		(37	)%	$	211

Revenues. Revenues increased $31 million for the three months ended November 3, 2017 as compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to higher revenue on new contracts supporting NASA, the U.S. Army and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) ($56 million), partially offset by the completion of contracts and other net decreases across our portfolio. These decreases include the loss of an IT integration contract supporting the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) ($14 million).

Revenues decreased $98 million for the nine months ended November 3, 2017 as compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to one additional week in the prior year period ($88 million) and completion of contracts and other net decreases across our portfolio ($130 million), including the loss of an IT integration contract supporting the DHS ($41 million). These decreases were partially offset by higher revenue on new contracts supporting NASA, the U.S. Army and the EPA ($95 million) and higher revenue on platform integration programs ($25 million).

Cost of Revenues. Cost of revenues increased $36 million for the three months ended November 3, 2017 as compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to an increase in revenue volume. Cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues increased from 89.8% in the prior year quarter to 90.5% primarily due to lower profit from a higher volume of cost reimbursable contracts and higher material cost mix. Additionally, we incurred higher employee benefit expense and restructuring costs ($6 million).

Table of Contents



SCIENCE APPLICATIONS INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION

Cost of revenues decreased $62 million for the nine months ended November 3, 2017 as compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to a decrease in revenue volume. Cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues increased from 90.1% in the prior year period to 90.9% primarily due to lower net favorable changes in estimates on contracts accounted for under the percentage-of-completion method ($17 million), lower profit from a higher volume of cost reimbursable contracts and higher material cost mix ($6 million). Lower net favorable changes in estimates were largely driven by increased costs to meet testing and mission requirements necessary to complete the Engineering, Manufacturing and Development (EMD) phase of the platform integration programs supporting the U.S. Marine Corps combined with prior year write-ups on certain programs supporting federal civilian agencies.

Cost of revenues also decreased due to an update to our fiscal 2018 Disclosure Statements that we prepare in accordance with U.S. government Cost Accounting Standards. We classify indirect costs as cost of revenues or selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) in the same manner as such costs are defined in our Disclosure Statements. The update resulted in certain types of costs that had previously been included in cost of revenues to be included in SG&A ($1 million and $6 million for the three and nine months ended November 3, 2017, respectively); however, total operating costs were not affected by this change.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. SG&A decreased $3 million for the three months ended November 3, 2017 as compared to the same period in the prior year due to lower marketing and consulting costs in the current year quarter ($3 million) and lower amortization of intangible assets ($1 million). These decreases were partially offset by updates to our disclosure statements ($1 million).

SG&A decreased $20 million for the nine months ended November 3, 2017 as compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to the absence of acquisition and integration costs in the current year ($10 million), lower compensation and marketing costs in the current year period ($7 million), the reversal of a vacancy reserve for a facility in the National Capital Region that we now intend to occupy (net of higher facilities operating expenses) ($5 million) and lower amortization of intangible assets ($4 million). These decreases were partially offset by updates to our disclosure statements ($6 million).

Operating Income. Operating income as a percentage of revenues decreased to 6.3% for the three months ended November 3, 2017 from 6.6% in the comparable prior year period primarily due to lower profit from a higher volume of cost reimbursable contracts and higher material cost mix.

Operating income as a percentage of revenues decreased to 5.8% for the nine months ended November 3, 2017 from 6.1% in the comparable prior year period primarily due to lower net favorable changes in estimates on contracts accounted for under the percentage-of-completion method, lower profit from a higher volume of cost reimbursable contracts and higher material cost mix, partially offset by lower SG&A expenses.

Net Income. Net income for the three months ended November 3, 2017 increased $1 million as compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to lower interest expense as a result of refinancing our long-term debt in the prior year ($3 million, net of tax) partially offset by an increase in the effective tax rate.

Net income for the nine months ended November 3, 2017 increased $16 million as compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to lower income tax expense as a result of the adoption of ASU 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting ($22 million) and lower interest expense, partially offset by lower operating income.

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities. Net cash provided by operating activities was $133 million for the nine months ended November 3, 2017, a decrease of $78 million as compared to the same period in the prior year. The decrease in operating cash flows from the prior year period was primarily due to delayed customer collections ($116 million) partially offset by payments for an extra week of payroll in the prior year period ($30 million) and excess tax benefits for stock based compensation in the current year ($22 million).

Non-GAAP Measures

Internal revenue growth (contraction), earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), and adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures. While we believe that these non-GAAP financial measures may be useful in evaluating our financial information, they should be considered as supplemental in nature and not as a substitute for financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliations, definitions, and how we believe these measures are useful to management and investors are provided below. Other companies may define similar measures differently.

Internal Revenue Growth. Internal revenue growth (or internal revenue contraction if negative) is utilized to evaluate revenue growth after the completion of acquisitions and other adjustments identified as impacting year over year comparability. Internal revenue growth is calculated by comparing our reported revenues for the current year to the reported revenues for the prior year comparable period adjusted to include any pre-acquisition historical revenues of acquired businesses. We adjust current and prior year revenue to exclude the impact of revenue performed by our former parent company, Leidos Holdings, Inc. (“former Parent”) since revenues on pre-separation joint work are recorded equal to cost and are expected to decline over time (See Note 8 of the notes to the condensed and consolidated financial statements for information regarding our separation from former Parent). For fiscal 2017, a 53-week fiscal year, we have also adjusted revenue to exclude the estimated impact of the additional week in order to facilitate comparison to the current year period. We estimate the revenue impact of the additional week by dividing first quarter fiscal 2017 revenues by the number of days in the first quarter of fiscal 2017 and multiplying that amount by the number of additional days in the first quarter of fiscal 2017. We believe that adjusting prior year revenues to reflect the impact of the additional week improves comparability since differences in the number of days generally have a direct impact on the amount of revenues earned in our business during the respective periods.

We believe internal revenue growth provides management and investors with useful information in assessing trends on how successful the Company has been at growing revenues of our base business and of the businesses we acquire.

Internal revenue growth is calculated as follows:



	Three Months Ended			Nine Months Ended
	November 3, 2017
	(in millions)
Prior year period's revenues, as reported	$	1,114		$	3,424
Prior year period's revenues performed by former Parent	(2		)	(8		)
Estimated impact of 53rd week	—			(88		)
Revenues of acquired business for the pre-acquisition prior year period	—			—
Prior year period's revenues, as adjusted	1,112			3,328
Current year revenues, as reported	1,145			3,326
Internal revenue growth (contraction)	$	33		$	(2	)
Internal revenue growth (contraction) percentage	3.0		%	(0.1		)%

Internal revenue growth for the three months ended November 3, 2017 was primarily due to newly awarded contracts supporting NASA, the U.S. Army and the EPA, partially offset by the completion of contracts, including the loss of an IT integration contract supporting DHS.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. The performance measure EBITDA is calculated by taking net income and excluding interest expense, provision for income taxes, and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by taking EBITDA and excluding restructuring and acquisition and integration costs. The acquisition and integration costs relate to the Company’s significant acquisition of Scitor. We began excluding restructuring costs in the third quarter of fiscal 2018 as a result of the restructuring described above in "Economic Opportunities, Challenges, and Risks." Adjusted EBITDA is a performance measure that excludes costs that we do not consider to be indicative of our ongoing operating performance.

We believe that EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA provide management and investors with useful information in assessing trends in our ongoing operating performance and may provide greater visibility in understanding the long-term financial performance of the Company.

EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA for the periods presented were calculated as follows:



	Three Months Ended						Nine Months Ended

Adjusted EBITDA	$	85		$	86		$	230		$	257
Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenues	7.4		%	7.7		%	6.9		%	7.5		%

Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended November 3, 2017 decreased to 7.4% of revenues from 7.7% of revenues for the prior year due primarily to lower profit from a higher volume of cost reimbursable contracts and higher material cost mix.

Adjusted EBITDA for the nine months ended November 3, 2017 decreased to 6.9% of revenues from 7.5% of revenues for the prior year due to lower net favorable changes in estimates on contracts accounted for under the percentage-of-completion method and lower profit from a higher volume of cost reimbursable contracts and higher material cost mix. Lower net favorable changes in estimates were largely driven by increased costs to meet testing and mission requirements necessary to complete the Engineering, Manufacturing and Development (EMD) phase of the platform integration programs supporting the U.S. Marine Corps combined with prior year write-ups on certain programs supporting federal civilian agencies. These drivers were partially offset by lower compensation and marketing costs and the reversal of a vacancy reserve.

Other Key Performance Measures

In addition to the financial measures described above, we believe that bookings and backlog are useful measures for management and investors to evaluate our potential future revenues. We also consider measures such as contract types and cost of revenues mix to be useful for management and investors to evaluate our operating income and performance.

Net Bookings and Backlog. Net bookings represent the estimated amount of revenues to be earned in the future from funded and negotiated unfunded contract awards that were received during the period, net of adjustments to estimates on previously awarded contracts. We calculate net bookings as the period’s ending backlog plus the period’s revenues less the prior period’s ending backlog and initial backlog obtained through acquisitions.

Backlog represents the estimated amount of future revenues to be recognized under negotiated contracts as work is performed. We do not include in backlog estimates of revenues to be derived from IDIQ contracts, but rather record backlog and bookings when task orders are awarded on these contracts. Given that much of our revenue is derived from IDIQ contract task orders that renew annually, bookings on these contracts tend to refresh annually as the task orders are renewed. Additionally, we do not include in backlog contract awards that are under protest until the protest is resolved in our favor.

We segregate our backlog into two categories as follows:

•

Funded Backlog. Funded backlog for contracts with government agencies primarily represents estimated amounts of revenue to be earned in the future from contracts for which funding is appropriated less revenues previously recognized on these contracts. It does not include the unfunded portion of contracts in which funding is incrementally appropriated or authorized on a quarterly or annual basis by the U.S. government and other customers even though the contract may call for performance over a number of years. Funded backlog for contracts with non-government customers represents the estimated value of contracts, which may cover multiple future years, under which we are obligated to perform, less revenue previously recognized on these contracts.

•

Negotiated Unfunded Backlog. Negotiated unfunded backlog represents estimated amounts of revenue to be earned in the future from negotiated contracts for which funding has not been appropriated or otherwise authorized and from unexercised priced contract options. Negotiated unfunded backlog does not include any estimate of future potential task orders expected to be awarded under IDIQ, GSA schedules or other master agreement contract vehicles.

We expect to recognize revenue from a substantial portion of our funded backlog within the next twelve months. However, the U.S. government can adjust the scope of services of or cancel contracts at any time. Similarly, certain contracts with commercial customers include provisions that allow the customer to cancel prior to contract completion. Most of our contracts have cancellation terms that would permit us to recover all or a portion of our incurred costs and fees (contract profit) for work performed.

The estimated value of our total backlog as of the dates presented was:



	November 3, 2017		February 3, 2017
	(in millions)
Funded backlog	$	2,609	$	1,811
Negotiated unfunded backlog	8,135		6,209
Total backlog	$	10,744	$	8,020

We had net bookings worth an estimated $2.6 billion and $6.1 billion during the three and nine months ended November 3, 2017, respectively. Total backlog at the end of the third quarter has increased compared to total backlog at prior year end due to several large awards received during the period from the U.S. Army, the Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Central Command.

Contract Types. Our earnings and profitability may vary materially depending on changes in the proportionate amount of revenues derived from each type of contract. For a discussion of the types of contracts under which we generate revenues, see “Contract Types” in Part I of the most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K. The following table summarizes revenues by contract type as a percentage of revenues for the periods presented:



	Nine Months Ended
	November 3, 2017		November 4, 2016
Cost reimbursement	45	%	41	%
Time and materials (T&M)	28	%	30	%
Firm-fixed price (FFP)	27	%	29	%
Total	100	%	100	%

Revenues from cost reimbursement type contracts increased for the nine months ended November 3, 2017 compared to the prior year comparable period primarily due to cost reimbursable federal civilian agency awards, an IT system integration award for the U.S. Army, and higher technology refresh activity on an existing program.

Cost of Revenues Mix. We generate revenues by providing a customized mix of services to our customers. The profit generated from our service contracts is affected by the proportion of cost of revenues incurred from the efforts of our employees (which we refer to below as labor-related cost of revenues), the efforts of our subcontractors and the cost of materials used in the performance of our service obligations under our contracts. Contracts performed with a higher proportion of SAIC labor are generally more profitable. The following table presents changes in cost mix for the periods presented:



	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
	November 3, 2017		November 4, 2016		November 3, 2017		November 4, 2016
	(as a % of total cost of revenues)
Labor-related cost of revenues	47	%	48	%	47	%	49	%
Subcontractor-related cost of revenues	33	%	34	%	34	%	34	%
Supply chain materials-related cost of revenues	12	%	12	%	12	%	12	%
Other materials-related cost of revenues	8	%	6	%	7	%	5	%

Cost of revenues mix for the three and nine months ended November 3, 2017 reflects an increase in other materials-related cost of revenues, which generate lower operating margins.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As a services provider, our business generally requires minimal infrastructure investment. We expect to fund our ongoing working capital, commitments and any other discretionary investments with cash on hand, future operating cash flows and, if needed, borrowings under our $200 million Revolving Credit Facility.

We anticipate that our future cash needs will be for working capital, capital expenditures, and contractual and other commitments. We consider various financial measures when we develop and update our cash deployment strategy, which include evaluating cash provided by operating activities, free cash flow and financial leverage. When our cash generation enables us to exceed our target average minimum cash balance of $150 million, we intend to deploy excess cash through dividends, share repurchases, debt prepayments or strategic acquisitions.

Our ability to fund these needs will depend, in part, on our ability to generate cash in the future, which depends on our future financial results. Our future results are subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative and regulatory factors that may be outside of our direct control. Although we believe that the financing arrangements in place will permit us to finance our operations on acceptable terms and conditions for at least the next year, our future access to, and the availability of financing on acceptable terms and conditions will be impacted by many factors (including our credit rating, capital market liquidity and overall economic conditions). Therefore, we cannot ensure that such financing will be available to us on acceptable terms or that such financing will be available at all. Nevertheless, we believe that our existing cash on hand, generation of future operating cash flows, and access to bank financing and capital markets will provide adequate resources to meet our short-term liquidity and long-term capital needs.

Historical Cash Flow Trends

The following table summarizes our cash flows:



	Nine Months Ended
	November 3, 2017			November 4, 2016
	(in millions)
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	133		$	211
Net cash used in investing activities	(15		)	(13		)
Net cash used in financing activities	(203		)	(194		)
Net (decrease) increase in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash	$	(85	)	$	4

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities. Cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended November 3, 2017 increased compared to the prior year period due to higher capital expenditures for property, plant, and equipment.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities. Cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended November 3, 2017 increased compared to the prior year period primarily due to an increase in stock repurchased and retired or withheld for taxes on equity awards and the classification of excess tax benefits from stock based compensation as cash provided by operating activities in the current year, as opposed to a financing activity in the prior year, as a result of the adoption of ASU 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting.

Contractual Obligations

During the second quarter of fiscal 2018, we contracted for approximately $50 million of long-lead time materials from various vendors that will be necessary to complete the low-rate initial production (LRIP) phase of our Assault Amphibious Vehicle contract with the United States Marine Corps. In the third quarter of fiscal 2018 we received partial awards which reduced our commitment on the portion of the LRIP phase not yet awarded to approximately $30 million. As of November 3, 2017, we had not yet been fully awarded the LRIP phase, however, we believe it is probable that we will receive the award. In order to meet our anticipated commitments for the LRIP phase, and to maximize volume discounts with our vendors, we committed to purchasing these materials. If we do not receive the award for the LRIP phase we may not be able to recover all of the costs associated with these orders, which would adversely affect our future profitability.

Other than this update, there have been no material changes to our contractual obligations as reported in our most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our condensed and consolidated financial statements, which are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingencies, as well as the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, gains and losses during the reporting periods. Management evaluates these estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Our estimates and assumptions have been prepared on the basis of the most current reasonably available information and, in some cases, are our basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Estimates and assumptions may change in the future as more current information is available.

Management believes that our critical accounting policies are those that are both material to the presentation of our financial condition and results of operations and require management’s most difficult, subjective and complex judgments. Typically, the circumstances that make these judgments difficult, subjective and complex have to do with making estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. There have been no changes to our existing critical accounting policies during the nine months ended November 3, 2017 from those disclosed in our most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K.
