Material Changes vs. Prior Period
- Revenue Growth: Revenue increased 16.4% ($94.7 million) for the quarter and 17.3% ($195.9 million) for the six months compared to the prior year. Growth was driven by higher volumes from Department of Defense (DoD) and federal civilian agencies.
- Profitability: Net income rose 15.1% for the quarter and 14.9% for the six months. Operating income increased 18.1% and 18.6% respectively.
- Customer Mix: DoD revenue grew 17.8% (quarter) and 19.6% (six months). Conversely, commercial revenue declined 17.6% (quarter) and 11.1% (six months), primarily due to UK operations impacted by the strengthening U.S. dollar against the pound sterling.
- Cost Structure: Direct costs as a percentage of revenue increased slightly (68.6% vs 66.9% for the quarter), while indirect costs as a percentage of revenue decreased (22.9% vs 24.4%), reflecting integration efficiencies and higher Other Direct Costs (ODCs) content.
- Tax Rate: The effective tax rate increased to 43.5% (quarter) and 42.3% (six months) from 39.2% and 38.7% in the prior year, adversely impacted by non-deductible losses on assets in the supplemental retirement plan.
Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary
- Acquisitions: Revenue growth included contributions from acquisitions completed in the prior year (Athena Innovative Solutions and Dragon Development Corporation).
- Share Repurchases: The company completed a $20 million share repurchase program in August 2008.
- Accounting Changes: The adoption of FSP 14-1 (effective July 1, 2009) regarding convertible debt will increase interest expense and decrease diluted EPS by approximately $0.04 per share retroactively, though it will not affect cash flow.
- Risks:
- Legal Proceedings: Ongoing litigation related to Abu Ghraib prison allegations (e.g., Saleh v. Titan Corp.). Management believes these suits are without merit and will not have a material adverse effect.
- Government Funding: Risks associated with federal budget priorities, contract terminations, and bid protests.
- Foreign Currency: Continued exposure to fluctuations between the U.S. dollar and the British pound affecting UK commercial revenue.
- Interest Rates: Variable rate debt exposes the company to interest rate fluctuations, partially mitigated by interest rate swaps and caps.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the impact of the strengthening U.S. dollar on future UK commercial revenue projections.
- Monitor the status of ongoing Abu Ghraib-related litigation and potential settlement costs.
- Assess the effect of the upcoming FSP 14-1 accounting standard change on reported interest expense and EPS starting in fiscal year 2010.
- Review the sustainability of the 17%+ revenue growth rate given the reliance on DoD and federal civilian contracts.
- Confirm the company's ability to maintain liquidity given the $638.7 million debt load and the recent $20 million share buyback.
