CHANTILLY, Va.--()--Engility Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: EGL) today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 27, 2013.

Third Quarter 2013 Results

Total revenue for the third quarter of 2013 was $339 million. GAAP and adjusted operating income for the third quarter was $30 million, or an operating margin of 8.9%. Net income attributable to Engility was $12 million, or $0.68 per diluted share. Adjusted net income was $14 million, or $0.80 per diluted share. Our adjusted net income excludes the $4 million write-off of bank debt fees associated with the refinancing of our senior secured credit facility, which we previously disclosed and is recorded in our third quarter 2013 interest expense. Information about the use of our non-GAAP financial information is provided below under “Non-GAAP Measures”.

“Our third quarter profitability and cash flow were very strong and we saw significant improvement in our DSO from last quarter. We increased our operating margin to 8.9%, generated record quarterly cash flow of $75 million and reported a six day decrease in our DSO,” said Tony Smeraglinolo, President and CEO of Engility. “We continue to benefit from our differentiated low-cost business model and from the process improvements we recently implemented to increase our cash velocity. We are controlling what we can control and, overall, believe we are executing well in a difficult environment.”

“We expect our business will continue to be impacted by lower contract funding levels and award delays as a result of Federal budget uncertainty and by reduced in-theater work. However, during the third quarter, we won two major IDIQ awards, as well as a number of important single-award contracts. In addition, we received a considerable amount of funding from some of our existing customers at the beginning of the fourth quarter. The enhanced business development team we put into place at the beginning of this year has increased our pipeline and our competitive position in the market, which positions us for long-term growth.”

Key Performance Indicators

  • Funded backlog at the end of the 2013 third quarter was $574 million.
  • Contract funded orders in the third quarter of 2013 were $263 million, representing a book-to-bill ratio of 0.8. On a trailing-twelve month basis, our contract funded orders were approximately $1.3 billion, representing a book-to-bill ratio of 0.9.
  • Days sales outstanding, net of advanced payments, at the end of the 2013 third quarter was 77 days.

Cash Flow and Credit Facility

  • Cash flow from operations for the third quarter of 2013 was $75 million, and our net debt to trailing 12-month adjusted EBITDA leverage ratio was approximately 1.5 times.
  • On August 9, 2013, we replaced our previous senior secured credit facility with a new $450 million senior secured credit facility. This new facility lowered our borrowing costs by almost 50%. At the end of the 2013 third quarter, we had net debt of $206 million, compared to $275 million at the end of the second quarter of 2013.

Significant Third Quarter 2013 Awards

  • Awarded a prime position on two major Navy IDIQ vehicles with a combined ceiling value of approximately $1.1 billion. We now have won more than $15 billion worth of IDIQ ceiling value since we established Engility a little over one year ago.
  • Awarded six task orders totaling more than $28 million under the African Contingency Operations Training and Assistance (ACOTA) contract, a program managed by the Bureau of African Affairs in the U.S. Department of State. Under these task orders, Engility personnel will provide an array of training to forces in Djibouti, Nigeria, Malawi, Benin, Rwanda and Tanzania.
  • An $18.9 million single-award contract by the U.S. Army’s Natick Soldier Research, Development and Engineering Center (NSRDEC). Under this 18-month contract for new work, Engility will provide our integration services expertise along with hardware integration kits to support the U.S. Marine Corp’s requirements for Integration Technology (IT) communication interface hubs that enable high speed data distribution and interface connectivity between communication electronics maintenance (CEM) systems, worldwide IT Infrastructure and network data links.
  • A $13.5 million task order by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) to support clean energy initiatives in Ukraine. Under this single-award cost-plus fixed fee contract for new work, Engility will support USAID and Ukrainian efforts to improve the clean energy legislative and regulatory enabling environment, promote investments in clean energy, build capacity in the Ukrainian private and public sector to carry clean energy activities in the long-run, and enhance the capacity of the Ukrainian government to plan and implement low emissions development strategies.

2013 Outlook

We are updating the fiscal year 2013 financial guidance we issued on August 12, 2013 based on our financial results for the first nine months of 2013 and our outlook for the remainder of 2013. Previously, we indicated our financial results may be near the low-end of our 2013 guidance ranges. We now are narrowing our 2013 revenue and earnings per share guidance ranges. For 2013, we expect our 2013 revenue results to be slightly below our prior guidance range due to lower contract funding levels and award delays as a result of Federal budget uncertainty. We expect our earnings per share results to be in-line with the low-end of our prior guidance range. In addition, we expect our operating cash flow to exceed our prior range due to the process improvements we recently implemented to increase our cash velocity. The table below summarizes our fiscal year 2013 guidance.

             
        Current 2013 Outlook   Low-End of Prior 2013 Outlook
Revenue       $1.39-1.41 billion   $1.45 billion
Adjusted Diluted EPS (1) (2) $3.20-3.30 $3.25
GAAP Diluted EPS (1) $2.96-3.06 $3.01
Operating cash flow (range)       $110 million to $130 million   $80 million

(1) 2013 GAAP and adjusted diluted EPS guidance assumes weighted-average outstanding shares of approximately 17.7 million and a full year effective tax rate of 39.0%.

(2) Our adjusted diluted EPS guidance excludes $3.2 million of legal and settlement costs incurred in the second quarter of 2013 and a $3.6 million write-off of bank debt fees in the third quarter of 2013 associated with the refinancing of our senior secured credit facility.

Non-GAAP Measures

The tables under “Engility Holdings, Inc. Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures” present Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted Operating Margin, Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (EBITDA), Adjusted EBITDA, EBITDA Margin, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted EPS and Adjusted Diluted EPS Guidance, reconciled to their most directly comparable GAAP measure. These financial measures are calculated and presented on the basis of methodologies other than in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“Non-GAAP Measures”). Engility has provided these Non-GAAP Measures to adjust for the impact of (i) transaction-related-spin-off costs for the Company’s July 2012 spin-off from L-3 Communications Holdings, Inc. (ii) legal and settlement costs and (iii) in the case of our Adjusted Diluted EPS Guidance, the write-off of bank debt fees associated with the refinancing of our senior secured credit facility. These items have been adjusted because they are not considered core to the Company’s business or otherwise not considered operational or because these charges are non-cash or non-recurring. The Company presents these Non-GAAP Measures because management believes that they are meaningful to understanding Engility’s performance during the periods presented and the Company’s ongoing business. Non-GAAP Measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP and therefore are not necessarily comparable to the financial results of other companies. These Non-GAAP Measures should be considered a supplement to, not a substitute for, or superior to, the corresponding financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.

Note – As noted in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, management determined that we improperly classified certain amounts in cost of revenue that were selling, general and administrative in nature. We have assessed the impact of the adjustments on the statements of operations and determined that the period was not materially misstated. This change did not impact the balance sheet or statements of cash flows. The three and nine month periods ended September 28, 2012 have been revised to reflect this correction.
