SAIC Announces Financial Results for Third Quarter Fiscal Year 2008

During the quarter, the company used a total of $98 million to repurchase 4.7 million shares under the stock repurchase program and 0.9 million shares in privately negotiated transactions or other recurring repurchases from employees in settlement of withholding taxes associated with stock option exercises and vesting events.

New Business Awards

Net new business bookings totaled $3.9 billion in the third quarter of fiscal year 2008, representing a book-to-bill ratio of 1.6. Net bookings are calculated as the current period ending backlog plus the current period's revenue less prior period ending backlog and backlog obtained in acquisitions. No bookings value is assigned unless the company has received a signed contract for a priced statement of work.

Large, competitive definite delivery contracts received during the quarter include:

In addition, SAIC also won several indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contracts that are not included in the bookings total. Notable IDIQ awards during the quarter include:

The company's backlog of signed business orders at the end of the third quarter of fiscal year 2008 was $15.8 billion, of which $5.4 billion was funded. The negotiated unfunded backlog of $10.4 billion represents the estimated amount to be earned in the future from firm orders for which funding has not been appropriated or otherwise authorized and unexercised priced contract options. Negotiated backlog does not include any estimate of future expected task orders to be awarded under IDIQ or other master agreement contract vehicles.
