Engility Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: EGL) today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2013.

Total revenue for the fourth quarter of 2013 was $329 million and operating income was $19 million. Adjusted operating income for the fourth quarter was $31 million. Operating margin for the fourth quarter of 2013 was 5.7% and adjusted operating margin for the same period was 9.3%. Net income attributable to Engility was $11 million, or $0.60 per diluted share. Adjusted net income was $18 million, or $1.00 per diluted share. Our adjusted net income and operating margin excludes $8 million for restructuring costs primarily related to lease impairments on facilities which are not being utilized, $1 million of legal and settlement costs, $2 million for a non-income tax expense, and $1 million in acquisition-related costs. Information about our use of non-GAAP financial information is provided below under “Non-GAAP Measures”.

“We had another solid quarter of profitability and cash flow. Our focus on increasing our profitability and velocity of cash enabled us to achieve adjusted EPS and cash flow results that were consistent with our guidance,” said Tony Smeraglinolo, President and CEO of Engility. “Our ability to generate strong cash flow also facilitated our acquisition of Dynamics Research Corporation (DRC) in January 2014. This acquisition adds scale to our business, and expands our addressable markets, customer base and capabilities. It also further diversifies our portfolio away from in-theater efforts to more high-end services in areas such as high performance computing, healthcare IT and financial and regulatory reform. In addition, it is expected to be accretive to our 2014 earnings and significantly accretive to 2015 earnings and beyond.”

“2013 was a year of great uncertainty within the government services market, and we anticipate continued pressure on the Department of Defense and Federal civilian agency budgets. However, we are optimistic that the Federal government’s ability to pass the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2013, which sets fiscal years 2014 and 2015 spending targets for DoD and Federal civilian agencies, will provide our customers with the fiscal clarity and program stability they need to make more timely and cost effective purchasing decisions. We will continue to focus on what we can control to ensure we optimize our business model to further differentiate ourselves from our competitors and provide maximum value to our customers and shareholders.”

Information about our use of non-GAAP financial information is provided below under “Non-GAAP Measures”.

2014 Outlook

The table below summarizes our fiscal year 2014 guidance.

(1) 2014 GAAP and adjusted diluted EPS guidance assumes weighted-average outstanding shares of approximately 18.4 million and a full year effective tax rate of 39.0%. It also includes eleven months of DRC’s expected financial results since the acquisition closed on January 31, 2014.

(2) Our adjusted diluted EPS guidance excludes an estimated $5.8 million, or $0.19 per share, of additional amortization of intangible asset expenses, and approximately $8.0 to $9.0 million, or $0.27 to $0.30 per share, of estimated integration costs associated with the DRC acquisition.

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, Adjusted Diluted EPS and Adjusted Diluted EPS Guidance, 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 the impact of (i) goodwill impairment charge during 2012, (ii) transaction-related-spin-off costs for the Company’s July 2012 spin-off from L-3 Communications Holdings, Inc., (iii) realignment and restructuring costs, (iv) legal and settlement costs, (v) non-income tax related expenses, (vi) transaction costs and amortization expenses related to our acquisition of Dynamics Research Corporation, and (vii) the write-off of bank debt fees associated with the refinancing of our senior secured credit facility. 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 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.
