Revenues for the quarter increased $72 million, or 6.5%, compared to the prior year quarter due to revenue on new contracts primarily supporting NASA and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) ($47 million) and increased orders in our supply chain portfolio ($64 million). These increases were partially offset by completion of contracts and other net decreases across our portfolio ($39 million).

Operating income as a percentage of revenues decreased to 5.6%, compared to 5.7% for the prior year quarter, driven by higher supply chain material content which generate lower operating margins.

Net income for the quarter remained consistent as compared to the same period in the prior year. Higher operating income was offset by a lower tax deduction from stock-based compensation in the current quarter.

EBITDA(1) as a percentage of revenues for the quarter decreased to 6.5%, compared to 6.6% for the prior year quarter, driven by higher supply chain material content which generate lower operating margins.

Diluted earnings per share was $1.13 for the quarter. The weighted-average diluted shares outstanding during the quarter was 43.4 million shares.

Cash Generation and Capital Deployment

Total cash flows provided by operating activities for the first quarter were $88 million, consistent with the same period in the prior year. A net increase in working capital investments in platform integration programs supporting the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps was offset by strong customer collections in the current quarter.

During the quarter SAIC deployed $54 million of capital, consisting of $32 million in plan share repurchases (412 thousand shares) under SAIC’s previously announced share repurchase program, $14 million in cash dividends and an $8 million term loan repayment.

Quarterly Dividend Declared

Subsequent to quarter-end, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.31 per share of the Company’s common stock payable on July 27, 2018 to stockholders of record on July 13, 2018. SAIC intends to continue paying dividends on a quarterly basis, although the declaration of any future dividends will be determined by the Board of Directors each quarter and will depend on earnings, financial condition, capital requirements and other factors.

New Business Awards

Net bookings for the quarter were approximately $1 billion, which reflects a book-to-bill ratio of 0.8. SAIC’s estimated backlog of signed business orders at the end of the quarter was approximately $10 billion of which $1.9 billion was funded.

SAIC was awarded the following contracts during the quarter:

BACKLOG
(Unaudited)
 

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

   
    May 4, 2018   February 2, 2018
(in millions)
Funded backlog $ 1,898 $ 2,012
Negotiated unfunded backlog   8,145     8,215
Total backlog   $ 10,043     $ 10,227
 

Backlog represents the estimated amount of future revenues to be recognized under negotiated contracts and task orders as work is performed and excludes contract awards which have been protested by competitors until the protest is resolved in our favor. SAIC segregates backlog into two categories, funded backlog and negotiated unfunded backlog. Funded backlog for contracts with government agencies primarily represents contracts for which funding is appropriated less revenues previously recognized on these contracts, and does not include the unfunded portion of contracts where funding is incrementally appropriated or authorized 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 agencies represents the estimated value of contracts which may cover multiple future years under which SAIC is obligated to perform, less revenues previously recognized on these contracts. Negotiated unfunded backlog represents the estimated future revenues to be earned from negotiated contracts for which funding has not been appropriated or authorized, and unexercised priced contract options. Negotiated unfunded backlog does not include any estimate of future potential task orders expected to be awarded under indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (IDIQ), U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) schedules or other master agreement contract vehicles.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

(Unaudited)

 
This schedule describes the non-GAAP financial measures included in this earnings release. 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.
 

EBITDA

Net income $ 49   $ 49
Interest expense 12 11

Provision for income taxes 6 3
Depreciation and amortization   10     10  
EBITDA(1) $ 76 $ 73
EBITDA as a percentage of revenues 6.5 % 6.6 %
 

EBITDA is a performance measure that is calculated by taking net income and excluding interest, provision for income taxes, and depreciation and amortization. We believe that this performance measure provides 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.

 

(1) Non-GAAP measure, see above for definition.

 
 

Free Cash Flow

(in millions)
Net cash provided by operating activities $ 88   $ 88
Expenditures for property, plant, and equipment   (6 )   (4 )
Free cash flow(1)   $ 82     $ 84  
 

Free cash flow is calculated by taking cash flows provided by operating activities less expenditures for property, plant, and equipment. We believe that free cash flow provides management and investors with useful information in assessing trends in our cash flows and in comparing them to other peer companies, many of whom present a similar non-GAAP liquidity measure. This measure should not be considered as a measure of residual cash flow available for discretionary purposes.

 

(1) Non-GAAP measure, see above for definition.
