Note 1—Business Overview and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

Overview

Science Applications International Corporation (collectively, with its consolidated subsidiaries, the “Company”) is a leading provider of technical, engineering and enterprise information technology (IT) services primarily to the U.S. government. The Company provides engineering and integration services for large, complex projects and offers a broad range of services with a targeted emphasis on higher-end, differentiated technology services. Each of the Company’s operating segments is focused on providing the Company’s comprehensive technical and enterprise IT service offerings to its respective customer base. The Company’s operating segments have been aggregated into one reporting segment for financial reporting purposes.

On May 4, 2015, the Company acquired 100% of privately held Scitor Holdings, Inc. (Scitor), a leading provider of technical services to the U.S. intelligence community and other U.S. government customers.

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial information has been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for interim reporting purposes. References to “financial statements” refer to the condensed and consolidated financial statements of the Company, which include the statements of income and comprehensive income, balance sheets, statement of equity and statements of cash flows. These financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). All intercompany transactions and account balances within the Company have been eliminated. The financial statements are unaudited, but in the opinion of management include all adjustments, which consist of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation thereof. The results reported in these financial statements are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the entire year and should be read in conjunction with the information contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 29, 2016.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingencies at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates inherent in the preparation of the financial statements may include, but are not limited to estimated profitability of long-term contracts, income taxes, fair value measurements, fair value of goodwill and other intangible assets, and contingencies.  Estimates have been prepared by management on the basis of the most current and best available information at the time of estimation and actual results could differ from those estimates.

Changes in estimates of revenues, cost of revenues or profits related to contracts accounted for using the cost-to-cost and efforts expended methods of percentage-of-completion accounting are recognized in operating income in the period in which such changes are made for the inception-to-date effect of the changes. Changes in these estimates can routinely occur over the contract performance period for a variety of reasons, which include: changes in contract scope; changes in contract cost estimates due to unanticipated cost growth or reassessments of risks impacting costs; changes in estimated incentive or award fees; and performance being better or worse than previously estimated. Aggregate changes in contract estimates increased operating income by $7 million ($0.10 per diluted share) and $13 million ($0.18 per diluted share) for the three and six months ended August 5, 2016, respectively, and increased operating income by $7 million ($0.08 per diluted share) and $8 million ($0.10 per diluted share) for the three and six months ended July 31, 2015, respectively.

Reporting Periods

The Company utilizes a 52/53 week fiscal year ending on the Friday closest to January 31, with fiscal quarters typically consisting of 13 weeks. Fiscal 2016 began on January 31, 2015 and ended on January 29, 2016, while fiscal 2017 began on January 30, 2016 and ends on February 3, 2017. The number of weeks for each quarter for fiscal 2017 and 2016 are as follows:

Operating Cycle

The Company’s operating cycle for long-term contracts may be greater than one year and is measured by the average time intervening between the inception and the completion of those contracts. Contract-related assets and liabilities are classified as current assets and current liabilities.

Derivative Instruments Designated as Cash Flow Hedges

Derivative instruments are recorded on the condensed and consolidated balance sheets at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on derivatives designated as cash flow hedges are reported in other comprehensive (loss) income and reclassified to earnings in a manner that matches the timing of the earnings impact of the hedged transactions. The ineffective portion of all hedges, if any, is recognized immediately in earnings.

The Company’s fixed interest rate swaps are considered over-the-counter derivatives, and fair value is calculated using a standard pricing model for interest rate swaps with contractual terms for maturities, amortization and interest rates. Level 2, or market observable inputs (such as yield and credit curves) are used within the standard pricing models in order to determine fair value. The fair value is an estimate of the amount that the Company would pay or receive as of a measurement date if the agreements were transferred to a third party or canceled. See Note 7 for further discussion on the Company’s derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges.

Accounting Standards Updates

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements and some cost guidance included in the Accounting Standards Codification (ASC). This ASU is based on the principle that revenue is recognized to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The ASU also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts (including significant judgments and changes in judgments) and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Deferral of the Effective Date, resulting in a one year deferral of the effective date of ASU 2014-09, which will become effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2019, using one of two retrospective methods of adoption. The Company has not selected a method for adoption nor determined the potential effects on its financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which supersedes the existing lease accounting standards (Topic 840). Under the new guidance, a lessee will be required to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities for all leases with lease terms in excess of twelve months. The recognition, measurement and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee primarily will depend on its classification as either a finance lease or operating lease.  The criteria for distinction between a finance lease and an operating lease are substantially similar to existing lease guidance for capital leases and operating leases. Some changes to lessor accounting have been made to conform and align that guidance with the lessee guidance and other areas within GAAP, such as Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). ASU 2016-02 becomes effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 and will be adopted using a modified retrospective approach. The Company is evaluating the impact on its financial statements from the future adoption of the standard.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which provides amendments to simplify several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions including the treatment of the impact from income taxes and their classification in the financial statements. ASU 2016-09 becomes effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2018. On adoption, the amendments will be applied retrospectively or prospectively based on each amendment’s transition requirements. The Company is evaluating the impact on its financial statements resulting from the future adoption of the standard.

Other Accounting Standards Updates effective after August 5, 2016 are not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

Note 2—Earnings Per Share:

Earnings Per Share (EPS)

Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income by the basic weighted-average number of shares outstanding. Diluted EPS is computed similarly to basic EPS, except the weighted-average number of shares outstanding is increased to include the dilutive effect of outstanding stock options and other stock-based awards.

A reconciliation of the weighted-average number of shares outstanding used to compute basic and diluted EPS was:

 

 

The following stock-based awards were excluded from the weighted-average number of shares outstanding used to compute diluted EPS:

Note 3—Scitor Acquisition:

On May 4, 2015 the Company completed the acquisition of Scitor, a leading global provider of technical services to the U.S. intelligence community and other U.S. government customers. The acquisition was funded from cash on hand and increased borrowings. Purchase consideration paid to acquire Scitor was $764 million (net of cash acquired), including $43 million which was deposited to escrow accounts pending final determination of the working capital adjustment and to secure the sellers’ indemnification obligations. The working capital adjustment was finalized in August 2015 and $3 million of the amount deposited to escrow was released to the sellers. Any remaining amount in escrow at the end of the indemnification period will be distributed to the sellers.

The purchase price was allocated among assets acquired and liabilities assumed at fair value based on the best available information, with the excess purchase price recorded as goodwill. During the first quarter of fiscal 2017, the Company completed its review of Scitor’s historical government accounting practices and adjusted the preliminary purchase price allocation to recognize $5 million in additional liabilities for potential questioned costs under U.S. government Cost Accounting Standards (CAS) and $2 million of related deferred income tax assets resulting in a $3 million net increase to goodwill.  The Company has completed the purchase accounting valuation for this transaction and recorded final purchase accounting entries as follows:

At the date of the acquisition, the tax deductible goodwill was $136 million and the tax deductible identified intangible assets were $163 million.

The Company incurred $54 million in total costs associated with the acquisition and integration of Scitor. Acquisition-related expenses, all of which were incurred in prior fiscal years, were $28 million including $17 million of deferred financing fees that are amortized to interest expense using the interest method.

For the three and six months ended August 5, 2016, the Company incurred $3 million and $10 million, respectively, of costs in connection with the integration of Scitor, primarily for facility consolidation and severance costs. For the three and six months ended July 31, 2015, acquisition-related expenses were $8 million and $10 million, respectively, and costs incurred in connection with the integration of Scitor were $4 million and $5 million, respectively, which were primarily for strategic consulting services, facility consolidation, severance costs, and other integration-related costs. These costs are included in acquisition and integration costs on the condensed and consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.

(UNAUDITED)

 

The following unaudited pro forma financial information presents the combined results of operations of Scitor and the Company for the three and six months ended July 31, 2015:

The unaudited pro forma, combined financial information presented above has been prepared from historical financial statements that have been adjusted to give effect to the acquisition of Scitor as though it had occurred on February 1, 2014. They include adjustments for intangible asset amortization; interest expense and debt issuance costs on long-term debt; acquisition, integration, and other transaction costs; and the elimination of intercompany revenue and expenses.

Note 4—Stock-Based Compensation:

Stock Options

During the six months ended August 5, 2016, the Company granted certain employees 0.3 million stock options with a weighted-average exercise price and weighted-average grant date fair value of $53.79 and $10.20, respectively. These options will expire on the seventh anniversary of the grant date and will vest ratably on each anniversary of the grant date over a three-year period.

Restricted Stock Units (RSUs)

During the six months ended August 5, 2016, the Company granted certain employees 0.4 million RSUs with a weighted-average grant date fair value of $53.49, which will vest ratably on each anniversary of the grant date over a four-year period.

Performance Shares

During the six months ended August 5, 2016, the Company granted to certain employees 0.1 million performance share awards with a grant date fair value of $53.34 per award. These awards will cliff vest at the end of the third fiscal year following the grant date, subject to meeting the minimum service requirements and the achievement of certain annual and cumulative financial metrics of the Company’s performance, with the number of shares ultimately issued, if any, ranging up to 150% of the specified target shares.

Note 5—Income Taxes:

As of August 5, 2016, the Company evaluated its tax positions and determined that it does not have a liability for any uncertainty in income taxes. The tax authorities, however, may determine that the Company owes additional taxes on review of the Company’s tax filings.

Provision for income taxes as a percentage of income before income taxes was 36.3% and 36.4% for the three and six months ended August 5, 2016, respectively, and 43.4% and 40.3% for the three and six months ended July 31, 2015, respectively. Tax rates for the three and six months ended August 5, 2016 were lower than for the three and six months ended July 31, 2015 primarily due to nondeductible acquisition costs in the prior year as well as increased current year manufacturer’s tax deduction and research and development credits. Tax rates for the periods ended August 5, 2016 were lower than the combined federal and state statutory rates due to permanent tax benefits, including the manufacturer’s tax deduction and research and development credits.

Note 6—Debt Obligations:

The Company’s long-term debt as of the dates presented was as follows:

 

As of August 5, 2016, the Company has a $1.3 billion credit facility (the Credit Facility), which consists of a $200 million secured revolving credit facility (the Revolving Credit Facility), a $529 million secured term facility (Term Loan A Facility), and a $532 million secured term facility (Term Loan B Facility) (together, the Term Loan Facilities). The Revolving Credit Facility capacity is available to the Company through September 2018, but no draws have been made. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility must be repaid in full by September 2018.

The Credit Facility contains certain restrictive covenants applicable to the Company and its subsidiaries including a requirement to maintain a Senior Secured Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) of not greater than 4.00 to 1.00 until July 31, 2016, and not greater than 3.75 to 1.00 thereafter, and requires the Company to make an annual prepayment as a portion of its Excess Cash Flow (as defined in the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement).  As of August 5, 2016 the Company was in compliance with the covenants under its Credit Facility.

As of August 5, 2016 and January 29, 2016, the carrying value of the Company’s outstanding debt obligations approximated its fair value. The fair value of long-term debt is calculated using Level 2 inputs, based on interest rates available for debt with terms and maturities similar to the Company’s Term Loan Facilities.

Subsequent to quarter end, on August 23, 2016, the Company amended the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (Amendment) to extend the maturity of the Term Loan A Facility and the termination date of the Revolving Credit Facility to August 2021, and to transfer $132 million of principal outstanding under the Term Loan B Facility to the Term Loan A Facility. Further, the Amendment lowers the interest rate margins on the Revolving Credit Facility and the Term Loan Facilities, resets the Term Loan A Facility’s quarterly principal repayment schedule and eliminates the required quarterly principal repayments for the Term Loan B Facility.

Note 7—Derivative Instruments Designated as Cash Flow Hedges:

The Company’s derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges consist of:

 

(1)  The fair value of the fixed interest rate swaps liability is included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the condensed and consolidated balance sheets.

(2)  Subject to a 0.75% floor.

The Company is party to fixed interest rate swap instruments that are designated and accounted for as cash flow hedges to manage risks associated with interest rate fluctuations on a portion of the Company’s floating rate debt. The counterparties to all swap agreements are financial institutions. See Note 8 for the effective portion of the unrealized change in fair values on cash flow hedges recognized in other comprehensive loss and the amounts reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss into earnings for the current and comparative periods presented. There was no ineffectiveness during any of the periods presented. The Company estimates that it will reclassify $7 million of unrealized losses from accumulated other comprehensive loss into earnings in the twelve months following August 5, 2016.

Agreements with Former Parent

The Company commenced its operations on September 27, 2013 (the Distribution Date) following completion of a tax-free spin-off transaction from its former parent company, Leidos Holdings, Inc. (formerly SAIC, Inc., collectively with its consolidated subsidiaries, “former Parent”). In the spin-off transaction, former Parent’s technical, engineering and enterprise IT services business was separated (the separation) into an independent, publicly traded company named Science Applications International Corporation (formerly SAIC Gemini, Inc.).

Former Parent and the Company executed various agreements to provide mechanisms for an orderly transition and to govern certain ongoing relationships between the companies following the separation. The agreements include a Distribution Agreement, Employee Matters Agreement, Tax Matters Agreement, Master Transition Services Agreement, and Master Transitional Contracting Agreement (MTCA). These agreements generally provide that each party is responsible for its respective assets, liabilities and obligations, including employee benefits, insurance and tax-related assets and liabilities.  The MTCA also governs the relationship between former Parent and the Company with regard to the treatment of contracts, proposals, and teaming arrangements where both companies are or will be jointly performing work after separation. Each of former Parent and the Company indemnify the other party for work performed by it under the MTCA.

Contingent losses that were unknown at the time of separation and arise from the operation of the Company’s historical business or the former Parent’s historical corporate losses will be shared between the parties to the extent that losses in any such category exceed $50 million in the aggregate. If they arise and exceed the $50 million threshold, the Company will be responsible for 30% of the former Parent’s incremental contingent losses on corporate claims (and former Parent will be responsible for 70% of the Company’s incremental losses on claims relating to operations that exceed $50 million).

Government Investigations, Audits and Reviews

The Company is routinely subject to investigations and reviews relating to compliance with various laws and regulations with respect, in particular, to its role as a contractor to federal, state and local government customers and in connection with performing services in countries outside of the United States. U.S. government agencies, including the Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA), the Defense Contract Management Agency and others, routinely audit and review a contractor’s performance on government contracts, indirect rates and pricing practices, and compliance with applicable contracting and procurement laws, regulations and standards. They also review the adequacy of the contractor’s compliance with government standards for its business systems. Adverse findings in these investigations, audits, or reviews can lead to criminal, civil or administrative proceedings, and the Company could face disallowance of previously billed costs, penalties, fines, compensatory damages and suspension or debarment from doing business with governmental agencies. Due to the Company’s reliance on government contracts, adverse findings could also have a material impact on the Company’s business, including its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

The indirect cost audits by the DCAA of the Company’s business remain open for fiscal 2011 and subsequent years. Although the company has recorded contract revenues subsequent to and including fiscal 2011 based on an estimate of costs that the Company believes will be approved on final audit, the Company does not know the outcome of any ongoing or future audits. If future completed audit adjustments exceed the Company’s reserves for potential adjustments, the Company’s profitability could be materially adversely affected.

The Company has recorded reserves for estimated net amounts to be refunded to customers for potential adjustments for indirect cost audits and compliance with CAS, which include indemnification obligations owing to former Parent for periods prior to the Distribution Date. As of August 5, 2016, the Company has recorded a total liability of $36 million for estimated net amounts to be refunded to customers for potential adjustments from audits of contract costs. Any additional amounts which may be determined to be owed for periods prior to the separation will be allocated to former Parent and the Company in proportions determined in accordance with the Distribution Agreement.

Army Brigade Combat Team Modernization Engineering, Manufacturing and Development (BCTM) Program

The BCTM program was terminated for convenience by the Department of Defense (DoD) effective in September 2011. From October 2009 through termination, the Company and its prime contractor performed on this program under an undefinitized change order with a provisional billing rate that allowed the Company to receive a lesser amount of the projected fixed fee (contract profit) than the estimated fixed fee due until completion of contract negotiations. The Company has recognized revenues of approximately $480 million (including estimated fixed fee) from October 2009 through August 2013 under the undefinitized change order. During fiscal 2013, an agreement in principle was reached between the prime contractor and the DoD; however, a formal contract modification has not yet been received. The Company had an outstanding receivable of approximately $2 million on this contract as of August 5, 2016.

Letters of Credit and Surety Bonds

The Company has outstanding obligations relating to letters of credit of $8 million as of August 5, 2016, principally related to guarantees on insurance policies. The Company also has outstanding obligations relating to surety bonds in the amount of $18 million, principally related to performance and payment bonds on the Company’s contracts. The majority of the surety bonds outstanding were initially obtained by former Parent and the Company is required to satisfy these obligations under the terms of the Distribution Agreement.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations and quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed and consolidated financial statements and the related notes. It contains forward-looking statements (which may be identified by words such as those described in “Risk Factors—Forward-Looking Statement Risks” in Part I of the most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K), including statements regarding our intent, belief, or current expectations with respect to, among other things, trends affecting our financial condition or results of operations (including our financial targets discussed below under “Management of Operating Performance and Reporting” and “Liquidity and Capital Resources”); backlog; our industry; government budgets and spending; market opportunities; the impact of competition; and the impact of the Scitor acquisition. Such statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties, and actual results may differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include any discussed in “Risk Factors” in Part II of this report and in Part I of the most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K. Due to such uncertainties and risks, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. We do not undertake any obligation to update these factors or to publicly announce the results of any changes to our forward-looking statements due to future results or developments.

We use the terms “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” to refer to Science Applications International Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries.

The Company utilizes a 52/53 week fiscal year, ending on the Friday closest to January 31, with fiscal quarters typically consisting of 13 weeks. Fiscal 2016 began on January 31, 2015 and ended on January 29, 2016, while fiscal 2017 began on January 30, 2016 and ends on February 3, 2017. The number of weeks for each quarter for fiscal 2017 and 2016 are as follows:

 

Business Overview

We are a leading technology integrator providing full life cycle services and solutions in the technical, engineering and enterprise information technology (IT) markets. We developed our brand by addressing our customers’ mission critical needs and solving their most complex problems for over 45 years.  As one of the largest pure-play technical service providers to the U.S. government, we serve markets of significant scale and opportunity.  Our primary customers are the departments and agencies of the U.S. government. Serving our country’s national security and civilian markets, along with commercial customers and state and local governments, has afforded us the ability to develop strong and longstanding relationships with some of the largest customers in the markets we serve.

Economic Opportunities, Challenges, and Risks

In fiscal 2016, we generated greater than 95% of our revenues from contracts with the U.S. government and greater than 60% of our revenues from contracts with the Department of Defense (DoD), including subcontracts on which we perform. Our business performance is affected by the overall level of U.S. government spending (especially defense spending) and the alignment of our offerings and capabilities with the budget priorities of the U.S. government. While we believe that national security will continue to be a priority, the U.S. government budget deficit and the national debt have created pressure to examine and reduce spending across all federal agencies. Baseline spending for the DoD has been reduced through government fiscal year 2023. Moreover, there may be further changes that negatively impact discretionary spending trends across all government agencies. Adverse changes in fiscal and economic conditions could materially impact our business. Some changes that could have an adverse impact on our business are the manner in which spending reductions are implemented (including sequestration), future government shutdowns and issues related to required increases to the nation’s debt ceiling.

The U.S. government has increasingly relied on contracts that are subject to a competitive bidding process (including indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (IDIQ), U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) schedules and other multi-award contracts) which has resulted in greater competition and increased pricing pressure. We expect that a majority of the business that we seek in the foreseeable future will be awarded through a competitive bidding process.

Despite the budget and competitive pressures impacting the industry, we believe we are well positioned to protect and expand existing customer relationships and benefit from opportunities that we have not previously pursued. Our scale, size and prime contractor leadership position are expected to help differentiate us from our competitors, especially on large contracts. We believe our long-term, trusted customer relationships and deep technical expertise provide us with the sophistication to handle highly complex mission-critical contracts. SAIC’s value proposition is found in the proven ability to serve as a trusted adviser to our customers. In doing so, we leverage our expertise and scale to help them execute their mission.

We succeed as a business based on the solutions we deliver, our past performance and our ability to compete on price. Our solutions, inspired through innovation, are based on best practices and technology transfer.  Our past performance was achieved by employee dedication and customer focus. Our current cost structure, as well as our ongoing efforts to reduce costs by strategic sourcing and developing repeatable offerings, is expected to allow us to compete effectively on price in an evolving environment. Our ability to be competitive in the future will continue to be driven by our reputation of successful program execution, competitive cost structure and efficiencies in assigning the right people, at the right time, in support of our contracts.

The fiscal 2016 acquisition of Scitor Holdings, Inc. (Scitor) adds differentiated capabilities primarily in the classified work environment, and provides us access to significant portions of the intelligence community market that we did not have previously. Additionally, there is an opportunity to leverage our existing capabilities to provide expanded services to Scitor’s customers.

Management of Operating Performance and Reporting

We manage our business to achieve our long-term financial targets, which we expect to accomplish on average and over time. These financial targets include:
