ManTech Reports 2008 First Quarter Results

ManTech International Corporation (NASDAQ:MANT) today announced results for the first quarter of 2008. ManTech reported revenue of $425.1 million for the first quarter of 2008, up $130.8 million, or 44%, compared to $294.3 million for the same period in 2007. This represents 19% organic revenue growth for the first quarter based on pro forma revenue for the first quarter 2007, which reflects revenue generated by SRS Technologies and McDonald Bradley. The growth was primarily a result of the solid execution of the business strategy to focus on the high-end defense and intelligence markets that support our national security. Operating income in the first quarter was $34.6 million (8.1% of revenue) up 62% compared to $21.4 million (7.3% of revenue) for the same period in 2007. Net Income in the first quarter was $19.9 million up 51% compared to $13.2 million for the same period in 2007. Diluted earnings per share were $0.57 for the first quarter, up 46% compared to $0.39 for the same period in 2007. "Our national security missions here and around the world continue to receive priority in terms of funding and that translated into record funded backlog for ManTech,” said George J. Pedersen, Chairman of the Board and CEO of ManTech International Corporation. "Due to our trusted relationships, we believe we will continue to see strong demand for our services and the requisite funding to execute on these missions regardless of the timing of supplemental appropriations.” Contract Awards & Backlog ManTech had contract awards of $767 million in the first quarter with over $110 million coming from classified contracts. The other awards cross all of ManTech’s business areas and include large wins with the following customers: $268 million one-year bridge extension under the Countermine program for the U.S. Army that helps protect the troops from Improvised Explosive Devices (IED) $62 million contract expansion to support the Army’s global property management system $83 million five-year contract to provide warfare analysis, modeling and simulation, and software development for U.S. Naval Air Systems Command As a result of the significant amount of contract awards received in the first quarter of 2008, ManTech’s reported backlog as of March 31, 2008, was $3.44 billion, a 17% increase from $2.94 billion as of March 31, 2007. Funded backlog was a record $949 million, a 24% increase from $767 million as of March 31, 2007. "As we anticipated, our first quarter bookings were very strong and we have continued the momentum into the second quarter with over $200 million in classified contract awards in April,” said Robert A. Coleman, President and Chief Operating Officer, ManTech International Corporation, "This bookings momentum should translate into continued strong growth throughout the remainder of 2008.” Cash Flow and Balance Sheet Information Days Sales Outstanding of accounts receivable, or DSOs, were 74 days as of March 31, 2008. For the quarter, cash flow from operations was $15 million and net debt at the end of March was $138 million. Company Guidance The Company’s initial second quarter and updated full year 2008 guidance is summarized in the table below. ManTech’s guidance does not include future acquisitions or divestitures. (Dollars in millions, except earnings per share amounts)               2nd Quarter 2008   Full Year 2008 Revenue   $435 - $450   $1,735 - $1,800 Net Income   $20.8 – $21.8   $83.4 – $87.2 Diluted Earnings Per Share   $0.59 – $0.62   $2.37 – $2.47 Weighted Average Shares Outstanding   35.20 million   35.25 million The Company’s revenue guidance for the second quarter and full year 2008 reflects the continuation of strong business momentum in its core national security and defense business. ManTech’s second quarter 2008 revenue guidance represents total revenue growth of 25% to 29% and pro forma organic revenue growth of 12% to 16%. ManTech’s 2008 full year revenue guidance represents total revenue growth of 20% to 24% and pro forma organic revenue growth of 10% to 14% without any future acquisitions. The organic growth rate is derived by adding 2007 revenue for both SRS and MBI to ManTech’s 2007 revenue base. The Company’s second quarter 2008 earnings per share range represents 34% to 41% growth over second quarter 2007 and for the full year 2008 represents 22% to 27% growth over 2007.
