Global Business Services

GBS revenue of $941 million in the quarter compares with $980 million in the year-ago quarter, a decline of 1.1% year-over-year in constant currency. Growth in the BPS and Big Data businesses partially offset a decline in the Consulting business. GBS operating margin, excluding the impact of certain items, was 11.1%, down from 16.3% a year ago, reflecting incremental investments in our BPS and next-generation offerings. New business awards for GBS were $1.1 billion in the fourth quarter.

Global Infrastructure Services

GIS revenue of $866 million in the quarter compares with $930 million in the year-ago quarter, a decline of 3.7% year-over-year in constant currency. Growth in our next-generation offerings including Cloud and MyWorkStyle partially offset the moderating decline in the traditional outsourcing business. GIS operating margin, excluding the impact of certain items, was 6.0%, up from 5.8% a year ago. New business awards for GIS were $1.2 billion in the quarter.

Completion of UXC and Xchanging Acquisitions

During the fourth quarter, CSC completed the acquisition of UXC. CSC subsequently also completed the acquisition of Xchanging in the first quarter of fiscal 2017.

Selected references are made on a “constant currency basis” so that certain financial results can be viewed without the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency rates, thereby providing comparisons of operating performance from period to period. Financial results on a “constant currency basis” are non-U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principle (GAAP) measures calculated by translating current period activity into U.S. dollars using the comparable prior period’s currency conversion rates. This approach is used for all results where the functional currency is not the U.S. dollar.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The following tables reconcile non-GAAP financial measures of operating income, adjusted operating income, operating and adjusted operating margin, earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT), adjusted EBIT, EBIT and adjusted EBIT margin, and free cash flow to the respective most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Also presented below are the Company's non-GAAP results, which exclude certain items that management believes are not indicative of the Company's operating performance. CSC presents these non-GAAP results because management believes they assist investors in comparing the Company's performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that management does not believe are indicative of the Company's core operating performance, and are considered important measures by financial analysts covering CSC and its peers.

Management uses operating income (loss) to evaluate 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 (loss), 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 a reconciliation between operating income (loss) and (loss) income from continuing operations, before taxes. Management uses free cash flow as one of the factors in reviewing the overall performance of the business. Management compensates for the limitations of this non-GAAP measure by also reviewing the GAAP measures of operating, investing and financing cash flows. Management uses non-GAAP income from continuing operations and non-GAAP EPS to evaluate the Company's results, excluding the impact of items that management believes are not indicative of the Company's operating performance. CSC compensates for the limitations of these non-GAAP measures by providing a reconciliation from non-GAAP results to reported results.

Adjustments to results of operations include:

•	Certain CSRA overhead costs - Reflects costs historically allocated to CSRA but not included in discontinued operations based on Accounting Standards Codification Subtopic 205-20 "Presentation of Financial Statements - Discontinued Operations." These costs are expected to be largely eliminated on a prospective basis.
•	U.S. Pension and OPEB - Reflects the impact of certain U.S. pension and other postretirement benefit (OPEB) plans historically included in CSC's financial results that have been transferred to CSRA as part of the separation.
•	Separation, restructuring & other transaction costs - Reflects non-recurring costs related to CSC's separation of CSRA, as well as infrequently occurring costs related to CSC's (1) certain restructuring related to workforce optimization and real estate charges, including the fiscal 2015 special restructuring (2) previously announced acquisitions, and (3) process remediation related to fiscal 2016 software implementation.
•	Pension and OPEB actuarial & settlement gains losses - Reflects pension and OPEB actuarial and settlement losses from mark-to-market accounting.
•	Debt extinguishment costs - Reflects costs related to the fiscal 2016 redemption of all outstanding 6.50% term notes due March 2018.
•	SEC settlement-related items - Reflects costs associated with certain SEC charges and settlements.
•	Tax valuation allowance & adjustments - Reflects the adoption of ASU 2016-09, adjustments to tax valuation allowances in certain jurisdictions and the application of a 20% tax rate, for the first and second quarters of fiscal 2016, which is at the low end of the prospective targeted effective tax rate range of 20% to 25% and effectively excludes the impact of discrete tax adjustments for those periods.

GAAP Reconciliations

Operating Income (Loss) and Adjusted Operating Income

(preliminary and unaudited)

CSC defines operating income (loss) as revenue less costs of services, depreciation and amortization expense, restructuring costs and segment selling, general and administrative (G&A) expenses. Operating income (loss), as defined by CSC, excludes corporate G&A, actuarial and settlement charges related to CSC's pension and OPEB plans, SEC settlement related charges, separation costs and debt extinguishment costs. Operating margin is defined as operating income as a percentage of revenue.

Adjusted operating income is computed by excluding from operating income certain CSRA overhead costs, U.S. Pension and OPEB, separation, and restructuring & other transaction costs. Adjusted operating margin is defined as adjusted operating income as a percentage of revenue.

Reconciliations of adjusted operating income to (loss) income from continuing operations, before taxes are as follows:

	Quarter Ended						Twelve Months Ended
(Amounts in millions)	April 1, 2016			April 3, 2015			April 1, 2016			April 3, 2015

(Loss) Earnings Before Interest and Taxes (EBIT) and Adjusted Earnings Before Interest and Taxes (EBIT)

(preliminary and unaudited)

EBIT is defined as net income less income from discontinued operations, net of taxes, interest expense, interest income and income tax benefit. EBIT margin is defined as EBIT as a percentage of revenue.

Adjusted EBIT is computed by excluding from EBIT the impact of certain items, including certain CSRA overhead costs, U.S. Pension and OPEB, separation, restructuring & other transaction costs, SEC settlement-related charges, pension and OPEB actuarial & settlement losses, and debt extinguishment costs. Adjusted EBIT margin is computed as adjusted EBIT as a percentage of revenue.

A reconciliation of adjusted EBIT and EBIT to net income is as follows:

	Quarter Ended						Twelve Months Ended
(Amounts in millions)	April 1, 2016			April 3, 2015			April 1, 2016			April 3, 2015

Free Cash Flow

(preliminary and unaudited)

CSC defines free cash flow as equal to the sum of (1) operating cash flows, (2) investing cash flows, excluding business acquisitions, dispositions and investments (including short-term investments and purchase or sale of available for sale securities), and (3) payments on capital leases and other long-term asset financings. Free cash flow is further adjusted for certain non-recurring cash flow items, such as (i) payments related to separation and transaction costs related to fiscal 2016 acquisitions, (ii) payments related to restructuring, (iii) SEC settlement related payments, (iv) benefit from the sale of accounts receivables and (v) certain CSRA overhead costs.

A reconciliation of net cash provided by operating activities to free cash flow is as follows:

Adjusted Segment Operating Income (Loss) and Operating Margin

(preliminary and unaudited)

Adjusted operating income (loss) is computed by excluding from operating income (loss) certain CSRA overhead costs, U.S. Pension and OPEB, separation, and restructuring & other transaction costs. Reconciliations of operating income (loss) to adjusted operating income, for the quarters and twelve months ended April 1, 2016 and April 3, 2015, are as follows:
