ManTech Announces Financial Results for Second Quarter of 2014(ENP Newswire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) ENP Newswire - 01 August 2014 Release date- 31072014 - FAIRFAX, Va. - ManTech International Corporation (Nasdaq: MANT), a leading provider of innovative technologies and solutions for mission-critical national security programs, today announced financial results for the second quarter of fiscal year 2014, which ended June 30, 2014. 'Operating performance in the second quarter improved across the board compared to the first quarter of 2014, with increases in revenues, operating margin, operating income, and bookings,' said ManTech Chairman and Chief Executive Officer George J. Pedersen. 'We are benefiting from strong positioning in cyber and intelligence on an organic basis, as well as in the healthcare and homeland security markets from recent acquisitions. Revenues in support of critical missions in Afghanistan will level, reducing headwinds to growth. We will leverage our excellent reputation for program performance and our strong balance sheet to grow ManTech in key technical areas.' Summary Operating Results Revenues for the quarter were $463.4 million. Quarterly revenues were up from $452.0 million in the first quarter of 2014, driven by the contributions of recent acquisitions in fast growing markets. Quarterly revenues decreased from $605.1 million in the second quarter of 2013, primarily as a result of contracts supporting the U.S. Army, especially as mission requirements fell in conjunction with the U.S. military withdrawal from Afghanistan. Operating income was $24.1 million for the quarter. Quarterly operating margin of 5.2% demonstrated a sequential improvement of 80 basis points as the result of improved contract fees. During the quarter, the company redeemed all of the outstanding $200 million principal amount of its Senior Notes. The redemption will generate annual pre-tax savings of approximately $15 million in interest expense, but resulted in a one-time charge of $10.1 million. Including the redemption cost, net income was $7.7 million for the quarter, which resulted in diluted earnings per share of $0.21. Cash Management and Capital Deployment The company used $2 million of net cash flow to fund operating activities in the quarter. Year-to-date, cash flow from operations has totaled $60 million or 3.5 times net income. Days sales outstanding (DSO) were 79 days, an increase of 1 day compared to the first quarter of 2014. During the quarter, the company paid $7.8 million, or $0.21 per share, to its common stockholders of record as of June 6, 2014. The company also invested $80.0 million to acquire 7DELTA INC, a leading provider of advanced information solutions and services to federal health clients. 7DELTA holds a prime position on the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) $12 billion Transformation Twenty-One Total Technology (T4) acquisition program. On June 13, 2014, the company amended and restated its $500 million revolving credit facility, which now has a maturity date of June 13, 2019. As of June 30, 2014, the company had $31 million in cash and cash equivalents and $55 million in borrowings in support of the 7DELTA acquisition. The Board of Directors has declared that the company will pay a cash dividend of $0.21 per share on September 19, 2014 to all common stockholders of record as of September 5, 2014 as part of its regular quarterly cash dividend program. Future declarations of dividends and their record and payment dates are subject to the final determination of ManTech's Board of Directors. Contract Awards Contract awards (bookings) totaled $424 million in the quarter, representing a book-to-bill ratio of 0.9. Given improved clarity of funding levels throughout the government, the company had expected more adjudications in the quarter. Proposal activity remains high, and the third quarter should see significant awards as well as the submittal of significant new business proposals. The company's backlog of business at the end of quarter was $3.8 billion, of which $1.0 billion was funded. Forward Guidance ManTech Chief Financial Officer Kevin M. Phillips said, 'The second quarter financial results were consistent with our expectations, but new business awards continue to be delayed. We expect that awards in the remainder of the year will support growth in 2015. I am excited about the number of large proposals in our pipeline and our positioning in areas of importance to our customers. Cash flow should be very positive for the remainder of the year, which will further strengthen our balance sheet for additional acquisitions.'
