FAIRFAX, Va., Feb. 17, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ManTech International Corporation (Nasdaq:MANT), a leading provider of innovative technologies and solutions for mission-critical national security programs, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2015, which ended December 31, 2015.

"The steadfast investments made in business development in years prior bore fruit in 2015. ManTech achieved a record level of bookings and backlog, the highest since 2012 and 2013, respectively. Fourth quarter revenues, operating income, operating margin, net income and earnings per share improved over third quarter results. Additionally, our annual results improved year-over-year on operating margin, net income and earnings per share," said ManTech Chairman and Chief Executive Officer George J. Pedersen. "The passage of the President's two-year budget deal provides the strongest budgetary position that we have had in years and award activity is returning to a more normalized state. In 2015, we made two targeted acquisitions within the intelligence and cyber markets, Welkin Associates and Knowledge Consulting Group (KCG), bolstering our positions in key customers and capabilities. The momentum built in 2015 provides ManTech a foundation to achieve revenue and earnings per share growth in 2016."

Summary Operating Results

Revenues for the quarter were $402.4 million, up 2% from $393.0 million in the third quarter of 2015. Revenues for the year were $1.55 billion, compared to $1.77 billion in fiscal year 2014. The lower annual revenues are primarily the result of reduced requirements supporting Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) and Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) field sustainment to the U.S. Army.

Operating income was $22.8 million for the quarter and $84.9 million for the fiscal year. Quarterly operating margin of 5.7% continued the quarterly improvement trend in 2015; operating margin for the year was 5.5% compared to 5.3% in fiscal year 2014. Net income was $13.9 million for the quarter and $51.1 million for the full year, resulting in diluted earnings per share of $0.37 for the quarter and $1.36 for the full year.

Cash Management and Capital Deployment

Cash flow from operations for the quarter was $7 million. For the year, cash flow from operations totaled $154 million or 3.0 times net income. Days sales outstanding (DSO) were 68 days, an improvement of 15 days compared to the fourth quarter of 2014.

During the quarter, the company paid $7.9 million, or $0.21 per share, as part of the regular cash dividend program to its common stockholders of record as of December 4, 2015. As of December 31, 2015, the company had $41 million in cash and cash equivalents and no outstanding borrowings on its $500 million revolving-credit facility, which provides the company with the financial capacity to pursue acquisitions, issue dividends, and maintain a strong balance sheet.

The Board of Directors has declared that the company will pay a cash dividend of $0.21 per share on March 18, 2016, to all common stockholders of record as of March 4, 2016, as part of its regular quarterly cash dividend program. The annual yield is approximately 3.0% based on the closing price on February 16, 2016. Future declarations of dividends and their record and payment dates are subject to the final determination of ManTech's Board of Directors.

Contract Awards

Contract awards (bookings) totaled $396 million in the quarter, representing a book-to-bill ratio of 1.0. For the year contract awards totaled $2.5 billion for a book-to-bill ratio of 1.6. Book-to-bill ratios for both the quarter and the fiscal year surpassed the comparable figures for 2014, reflecting an improving awards environment and market positioning for ManTech. Proposal activity remains high, and the company expects contract awards to continue at a strong pace in 2016. Large, single award contracts contributing to the quarterly bookings include:

  • Royal Saudi Air Force F-15 sustainment support. ManTech and its Saudi partner Jadwalean International Operations & Management Company were awarded a 5 year contract to provide technical advisory services to enable operational capability of the F-15 air fleet with a value of $175 million specific to ManTech's support activities.
     
  • Naval Submarine and Surface Signature Silencing Programs. Under a 5 year contract valued at up to $47 million, ManTech will support the U.S. Navy by providing assessments of current measurement procedures for acoustic and special trials, as well as related studies in the assessment of noise measurement systems.


In addition, there were several extensions to existing contracts awarded in the quarter.

Forward Guidance

The company expects to achieve revenue, net income, and diluted earnings per share in 2016 as specified in the table below.

MeasureFiscal 2016 Guidance
Revenue (billion)$1.575 - $1.675
Net Income (million)$52.5 - $55.9
Diluted Earnings per Share$1.38 - $1.47


The guidance is supported by a backlog of business at the end of the quarter of $4.1 billion, including $1.0 billion of funded backlog, as well as a strong pipeline of new opportunities and improving government funding levels.

ManTech Chief Financial Officer Kevin M. Phillips said, “I am pleased to end the fiscal year with strong operating performance, generating improved margins and strong cash flow. We expect to deliver top-line and bottom-line growth next year based on the momentum of our current programs, recent bookings and cost efficiency efforts. Our capital deployment program will continue to be focused on a disciplined acquisition program that will support long-term business growth and we expect to maintain our current dividend program. In 2016, we will continue to position and align the business to capture additional market share.”
