President and COO Commentary

“2015 marked a year when we executed against our strategic plan and transformed our business,” said John Hynes, President and Chief Operating Officer of Engility. “Through the acquisition and successful integration of TASC, we have gained significant scale, shifted the mix of our business toward more stable and higher growth sectors and expanded our addressable market to include intelligence and space. We also continued to provide exceptional service to our customers and as a result received strong contract award fee scores.”

“As we look forward, we believe we will benefit from the stabilization in our market due to the Federal Government’s two-year budget agreement, the recent improvements we have made to our internal business development processes, and the additional capture and strategic pricing resources we recently hired,” continued Hynes. “Under the leadership of our incoming Chief Executive Officer, Lynn Dugle, we believe these factors, combined with our increased investments in growth-related initiatives and the anticipated decline in the runoff of our legacy contracts, will drive organic revenue growth in 2017 and beyond.”

Key Performance Indicators

  • Book-to-bill ratio for the fourth quarter of 2015 was 0.5x on contract awards of $272 million. For fiscal year 2015, the book-to-bill ratio was 0.8x on contract awards of $1.6 billion.
  • Book-to-bill ratio for the fourth quarter of 2015 was 1.0x on funded orders of $518 million. For fiscal year 2015, the book-to-bill ratio was 0.9x on funded orders of $2.0 billion.
  • Funded backlog was $784 million in the fourth quarter of 2015 compared with $602 million in the fourth quarter of 2014.
  • Days sales outstanding (DSO) at the end of 2015, net of advanced payments, was 56 days, compared to 74 days at the end of 2014.
  • Cash flow from operations was $(12) million for the fourth quarter of 2015 and $48 million for fiscal year 2015.
  • During the fourth quarter of 2015, the Company made voluntary debt prepayments of approximately $25 million. The total voluntary prepayment amount for fiscal year 2015 was $60 million.

Fiscal Year 2016 Guidance

The Company is reiterating the fiscal year 2016 guidance it issued on January 21, 2016. The table below summarizes the Company’s fiscal year 2016 guidance.

         
        Fiscal Year 2016 Guidance
Revenue       $2.0 billion - $2.15 billion
GAAP Diluted EPS (1) $0.03 - $0.18
Adjusted Diluted EPS (1) $1.00 - $1.15
Adjusted EBITDA (1) $180 million - $190 million
GAAP operating cash flow       $105 million - $115 million
 

(1) 2016 GAAP and adjusted diluted EPS guidance assumes weighted-average outstanding shares of approximately 37 million. GAAP diluted EPS assumes a full-year effective tax rate of 25 percent. Adjusted diluted EPS assumes total cash tax payments of approximately $1 million. The adjusted diluted EPS and adjusted EBITDA guidance excludes approximately $33 million of amortization of acquired intangible assets, and deal and integration costs associated with the TASC acquisition.

Management Changes

On March 1, 2016, the Board of Directors of Engility announced the appointment of Lynn Dugle as the company’s Chief Executive Officer, effective March 21, 2016. John Hynes, Engility’s Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, was promoted to President and Chief Operating Officer, effective February 29, 2016.

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, and Adjusted Diluted EPS, 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, among other things, the impact of transaction and integration costs and amortization expenses related to our acquisitions of TASC and DRC, as well as restructuring and legal and settlement costs. 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 similarly titled metrics or 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.
