Note 1—Description of the Business, Basis of Presentation and Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Description of the Business

CSRA Inc. (“CSRA” or the “Company”), a provider of IT and professional services, delivers IT, mission, and operations-related services across the U.S. government, including to the Department of Defense (“DoD”), Department of Homeland Security (“DHS”), the intelligence community, civil and healthcare agencies, and to state and local government agencies through two business segments: (1) Defense and Intelligence, and (2) Civil.
NES Acquisition
In May 2017, CSRA executed an agreement for the acquisition of NES Associates, LLC (“NES”), a provider of IT services to the U.S. government, for approximately $105 million in cash, subject to closing adjustments. The transaction closed in July 2017; and NES became a wholly-owned subsidiary of CSRA on the date of closing.
The NES acquisition will be reflected in CSRA’s financial statements beginning in the second quarter of fiscal year 2018 using the acquisition method of accounting, with CSRA being considered the accounting acquirer of NES. Due to the recency of the acquisition, the initial purchase accounting for this acquisition was not completed at the time of issuance of these financial statements.
CSRA will record the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their estimated fair value, with the difference between the fair value of the net assets acquired and the purchase consideration reflected as goodwill. See Note 4—Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets for further discussion of the measurement considerations for intangible assets.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited Consolidated and Condensed Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and should be read in conjunction with the information contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2017. The interim period unaudited Consolidated and Condensed Financial Statements are presented as described below.
In May 2017, CSRA executed an agreement for the acquisition of NES Associates, LLC (“NES”), a consulting firm that provides IT services to the U.S. government. On July 3, 2017, CSRA completed its acquisition of NES, which resulted in NES becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of CSRA. In October 2017, CSRA announced that it had executed an agreement to acquire Praxis Engineering Technologies LLC (”Praxis”), a consulting and solutions firm dedicated to the practical application of software and systems engineering technologies. On November 17, 2017, CSRA completed the acquisition of Praxis, which resulted in Praxis becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of CSRA. See Note 4—Acquisitions for additional information.
All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Certain information and disclosures normally required for annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted pursuant to SEC rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for fair presentation of the results of the interim period presented have been included.
CSRA reports its results based on a fiscal year convention comprised of four thirteen-week quarters. Every fifth year includes an additional week in the first quarter to prevent the fiscal year from moving from an approximate end of March date.
Contract accounting requires significant judgment relative to assessing risks, estimating contract revenue and costs, and making assumptions for schedule and technical issues. Due to the size and nature of many of CSRA’s contracts, developing total revenue and costs at completion estimates requires significant judgment. Contract costs include direct labor and billable expenses, allocation of allowable indirect costs, and warranty obligations. CSRA recognizes revenue and billable expenses from these transactions on a gross basis because it is the primary obligor on contracts with customers. The contracts that required estimates-at-completion (“EACs”) using the percentage-of-completion method were approximately 35%36%, and 37%38% of CSRA’s revenuesrevenue for the threenine months ended June 30,December 29, 2017, and July 1,December 30, 2016, respectively.

CSRA’s income before income taxes and noncontrolling interest for the three and nine months ended June 30,December 29, 2017 and July 1,December 30, 2016 included the following gross favorable and unfavorable adjustments due to changes in estimated profitability on fixed price contracts accounted for under the percentage-of-completion method.

Unbilled recoverable amounts under contracts in progress do not have an allowance for credit losses and, therefore, any adjustments to these amounts related to credit quality are accounted for as a reduction of revenue. Unbilled amounts under contracts in progress resulting from sales, primarily to the U.S. and other governments, that are expected to be collected after one year totaled $16.8$17.3 million and $15.6 million as of June 30,December 29, 2017 and March 31, 2017, respectively.

Depreciation expense was $37.1$38.0 million and $32.4$33.5 million for the three months ended June 30,December 29, 2017 and July 1,December 30, 2016, respectively. Depreciation expense was $111.1 million and $96.8 million for the nine months ended December 29, 2017 and December 30, 2016, respectively.
Earnings Per Share
The computation of diluted earnings per share excludes stock options, and restricted stock units, whose effect, if included, would be anti-dilutive. The number of shares related to such stock awards was 398,322274,785 and 2,194,894283,643 for the three and nine months ended June 30,December 29, 2017, and July 1, 2016, respectively.
Use of Estimates

GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain amounts reported in the unaudited Consolidated and Condensed Financial Statements and accompanying notes. These estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of historical experience, current events, and other assumptions that management considers reasonable. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Amounts subject to significant judgment and/or estimates include, but are not limited to: determining the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, derivative instruments and non-financial assets such as internally developed software for internal use; costs to complete fixed-price contracts, certain deferred costs, collectability of receivables, deferred tax assets and liabilities, reserves for tax benefits, including valuation allowances on deferred tax assets, loss accruals for litigation, and inputs used for computing share-based compensation.
Reclassifications
Historically, the Company recognized separation and merger costs in connection with our separation from Computer Sciences Corporation (now known as DXC Technology) (“CSC”) and our subsequent merger with SRA International Inc. (“SRA”) as a separate operating expense. In the second quarter of fiscal year 2018, CSRA began to combine these costs with separately identifiable acquisition costs and fees paid to third parties for completed acquisitions as well as integration, transition, and other costs for integrating the businesses. These expenses are presented as acquisition, integration, and other costs on the unaudited Consolidated and Condensed Statements of Operations. Prior periods have been revised to conform to the current period presentation.
Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between marketplace participants. The accounting guidance for fair value measurements establishes a three level hierarchy that prioritizes inputs as follows:
Level 1— Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

CSRA INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)


Level 2— Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities or quoted market prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active.     
Level 3— Valuations derived from techniques where one or more significant inputs are unobservable.
Assets and liabilities valued using the fair value measurement guidance on a recurring basis include: pension assets and derivative instruments (consisting of interest rate swap contracts, total return swaps, and foreign currency forward exchange contracts). Pension assets are valued using model based pricing methods that use observable

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)


market data;data and are, therefore, considered Level 2 inputs. The fair value of interest rate swaps is estimated based on valuation models that use observable interest rate yield curves as inputs. Total return swaps are settled on the last day of every fiscal month. Therefore, the value of any total return swaps outstanding as of any balance sheet date is not material. The inputs used to estimate the fair value of the Company's derivative instruments are classified as Level 2. No significant assets or liabilities are measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable (Level 3) inputs.
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis include: those acquired in a business combination, equity-method investments, and long-lived assets. These assets whichand liabilities are recognized at fair value if deemed to be impaired or if reclassified as assets held for sale. The fair valuevalues in these instances are then determined using Level 3 inputs.
The Company’s financial instruments include cash, trade receivables, vendor payables, derivative financial instruments, and debt. As of June 30,December 29, 2017, the carrying value of cash, trade receivables, and vendor payables approximated their fair value. The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments with short-term maturities are deemed to approximate their market values. The carrying amount of the Company’s long-term debt, excluding capital leases, was $2.7 billion and $2.5 billion at both June 30,December 29, 2017 and March 31, 2017;2017, respectively, and approximated its fair value on those dates based on recent trading activity.activity, which is classified as Level 2 inputs. The fair value of long-term debtinterest rate swaps is estimated based on currentvaluation models that use observable interest rates offered to the Company for instruments with similar terms and remaining maturities, andrate yield curves, which are classified asconsidered Level 2.2 inputs. There were no transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy during the three and nine months ended June 30,December 29, 2017 or the three months ended July 1,December 30, 2016.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
NewNewly-Adopted Accounting Standards
DuringOn December 22, 2017, the three months ended June 30, 2017,Tax Cuts and Jobs Acts (the “Tax Act”) was enacted into law. The Tax Act includes numerous significant changes to the U.S. Corporate tax laws such as: the reduction of the statutory tax rate from 35% to 21%; repeal of the corporate alternative minimum tax; changes to business tax exclusions, deductions and credits; and significant revision of international tax provisions. Shortly thereafter, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued guidance for accounting for taxes in Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB 118”) to provide guidance on the application of accounting for income taxes (under ASC 740) in cases where the calculation of certain effects of the changes in tax laws or tax rates are incomplete upon issuance of an entity's financial statements for the reporting period in which the Tax Act is enacted. Under SAB 118, in the financial reporting period during which the Tax Act is enacted, the income tax effects of the Tax Act (for those changes where calculations are incomplete) would be reported as provisional based on a reasonable estimate, and are to be subject to adjustment during a "measurement period" until the accounting under guidance in ASC 740 is complete. When provisional amounts are used, supplemental disclosures should be provided, such as the reasons for the incomplete accounting and other information relevant to why the Company was not able to complete the accounting in a timely manner. CSRA adoptedhas used the following Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”):guidance in SAB 118 when determining the impact of the Tax Act on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. See Note 8—Income Taxes for further information.
In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-07-Compensation- Retirement Benefits (Topic 715) (“ASU 2017-07”), which changes the presentation of net periodic pension and post-retirement costs. The guidance requires that service costs associated with pension and post-retirement plans be presented in the same financial statement line item as the compensation cost for the related employees. All other net benefit costs must be reported separately from income from operations (if presented). The standard is effective for the first interim period within annual periods

beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. Since CSRA’s defined benefit pension and post-retirement plans (the “Plans”) are frozen, historical service costs consist of administrative expenses. CSRA chose to early adopt this standard during the first quarter of the fiscal year ending March 30, 2018. As a result, net benefit costs of the Plans have been presented as a separate line item on the Company’s statements of operations. The prior period hasperiods have been revised to conform withto the current period presentation.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) Simplifying the Accounting for Goodwill Impairment (“ASU 2017-04”). Its main provisions are: (a) removing step 2 of the goodwill impairment test, which requires a hypothetical purchase price allocation; and (b) eliminating the need to determine the fair value of individual assets and liabilities of a reporting unit to measure goodwill impairment. ASU 2017-04 is effective for all public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted on or after January 1, 2017. The Company adopted ASU 2017-04 on July 1, 2017, which coincided with its annual assessment for the impairment of goodwill. The adoption had no impact on CSRA’s financial results for the period.
Standards Issued But Not Yet Effective
The following ASUs were recently issued but have not yet been adopted by CSRA:
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASU 2014-09”), which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements and some cost guidance included in the Accounting Standards Codification (ASC). Upon adoption, ASU 2014-09 will change the way we recognize revenue and significantly expand the disclosure requirements for revenue arrangements.
The new standard requires us to identify contractual performance obligations and determine when revenue should be recognized. This requirement and other provisions of the standard could change the method or timing of revenue recognition for our firm-fixed-price and, to a lesser extent, cost-reimbursable-plus-fee contract portfolio. The Company’s implementation project team is taking an integrated approach to analyzing the standard’s impact on our contract portfolio including a review of accounting policies and practices, evaluating the effects of the requirements on our contracts and business practices, and assessing the need for system and internal control changes or enhancements. These activities and the Company’s evaluation of the quantitative effect of adoption will continue to the end of the fiscal year.
The Company identified likely effects related to the treatment of option years as discrete contracts and the grouping of promised goods and services into performance obligations for the purpose of recognizing revenue under the new standard. As a result, gross favorable and unfavorable adjustments due to changes in contract estimates are anticipated to result in smaller revenue adjustments than before adoption of the ASU. Anticipated losses on contracts will continue to be recognized in the period in which they are identified.
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 the standard. For CSRA, ASU 2014-09 will become effective in the first quarter of fiscal 2019.2014-09. The new standard may be adopted either retrospectively or on a modified retrospective basis whereby it would be applied to new contracts and existing contracts with remaining performance obligations as of the effective date, with a cumulative catch-up adjustment recorded to the beginning balance of retained earnings at the effective date.
The new standard requires us to identify contractual performance obligations and determine when revenue

should be recognized. This and other requirements could change the method or timing of revenue recognition for our firm-fixed-price and cost-reimbursable-plus-fee contract portfolio. The Company’s implementation project team completed the initial assessment phase. Their integrated approach to analyzing the standard’s impact on our contract portfolio includes a review of accounting policies and practices, evaluating the effects of the requirements on our contracts and business practices, and assessing the need for system and internal control changes or enhancements.
The Company identified likely effects related to the treatment of option years as discrete contracts and the grouping of promised goods and services into performance obligations for the purpose of recognizing revenue under the new standard. As a result, recognized changes in contract estimates may result in either smaller or larger revenue adjustments than before adoption of the ASU. Anticipated losses on contracts will continue to be recognized in the period they are identified.
The Company plans to adopt the standard on April 1, 2018;March 31, 2018 (the first day of fiscal year 2019), and to implement itthe standard using the modified retrospective method, wherewhereby the cumulative effect iswill be recognized at the date of adoption. The project team has begun work to quantify the effect of adoption on the Company’s financial statements, as well as identify required changes to the Company’s current accounting policies and internal control framework. These activities and the Company’s evaluation of the quantitative effect of adoption will extend into future periods.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”), which supersedes the current guidance related to accounting for leases. The guidance requires lessees to recognize most leases on-balance sheet as a right of use asset and lease liability. ASU 2016-02 also requires expanded qualitative and quantitative disclosures to provide financial statement users with additional information on the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from CSRA leases. The standard must be adopted using the modified retrospective approach;approach, and will be effective for the first interim period within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. CSRA is currently evaluating the impact of adoption on its policies, procedures, business practices, including internal controls, and financial statements.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows: Restricted Cash (Topic 230)(“ASU 2016-18”). This guidance requires the inclusion of restricted cash and restricted cash-equivalent balances in the statement of cash flows. The ASU does not define "restricted cash" and "restricted cash equivalents." The Company will be required to include its restricted cash balance (currently classified within Prepaid expenses and other current assets) in the Cash and cash equivalents balance presented in the statement of cash flows using a retrospective transition method for each period presented. A reconciliation between the statement of financial position and the statement of cash flows must be disclosed when the statement of financial position includes more than one line item for cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and restricted cash equivalents. An entity with a material balance of amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents must also discuss the nature of the restrictions. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption, including during an interim period, is permitted. The Company has not yet determined an implementation date for this ASU.
In JanuaryAugust 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04,2017-12, Intangibles-Goodwill Derivativesand OtherHedging (Topic 350) Simplifying the815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Goodwill ImpairmentHedging Activities (“ASU 2017-04”2017-12”). Its main provisions are: (a) removing step 2, which is intended to improve the transparency and understandability of information conveyed to financial statements users about an entity’s risk management activities and reduce the goodwill impairment test, which requires a hypothetical purchase price allocation;complexity and (b) eliminatingsimplify the needapplication of hedge accounting by companies. The impact of adopting this standard on CSRA’s financial position and results of operations is not expected to determinebe material, but the fair value of individual assets and liabilities of a reporting unitCompany will continue to measure goodwill impairment. ASU 2017-04evaluate until implementation. The standard is effective for all public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted on or after January 1, 2017. The Company tests goodwill2018 and interim period within those fiscal years for impairment annually on the first day of the second fiscal quarter and on an interim basis if an event occurs, or circumstances change that would “more likely than not” reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. The Company plans to early adopt ASU 2017-04 on July 1, 2017, which coincides with its annual assessment for the impairment of goodwill.public entities.
Other recently issued ASUs effective after June 30,December 29, 2017 are not expected to have a material effect on CSRA’s financial statements.

Note 2—Sale of Receivables
CSRA is the seller of certain accounts receivable under a Master Accounts Receivable Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd., The Bank of Nova Scotia, and Mizuho Bank, Ltd., each as Purchaser, for the continuous non-recourse sale of CSRA’s eligible trade receivables. On August 8, 2017, the term of the Purchase Agreement under which the Company sells certain of its accounts receivable was extended for one year, to August 7, 2018.
Under the Purchase Agreement, CSRA sells eligible receivables, including billed receivables and certain unbilled receivables arising from cost plus fixed fee (“CPFF”) and time and materials (“T&M”) contracts, up to $450.0 million outstanding at any time. CSRA has no retained interests in the transferredsold receivables and only performs collection and administrative functions for the Purchaser for a servicing fee.
CSRA accounts for these receivable transfers as sales under ASC 860, Transfers and Servicing, and de-recognizes the sold receivables from its unaudited Consolidated and Condensed Balance Sheets. The fair value of the sold receivables approximated their book value due to their short-term nature. CSRA estimated that its servicing fee was at fair value and, therefore, no servicing asset or related liability was recognized at either June 30,December 29, 2017 or March 31, 2017.

CSRA incurred purchase discount and administrative fees of $1.2$4.5 million and $0.6$2.7 million for the threenine months ended June 30,December 29, 2017 and July 1,December 30, 2016, respectively. These fees were recorded within Other expense, (income), net in the unaudited Consolidated and Condensed Statements of Operations.
Concentrations of Risk
The primary financial instruments, other than derivatives, that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk are accounts receivable. The Company’s primary customers are the U.S. government and prime contractors under contracts with the U.S. government. The Company continuously reviews its accounts receivable and records provisions for doubtful accounts as needed.

Note 3—Derivative Instruments
Derivatives Designated for Hedge Accounting
Interest-rate swaps
The Company uses derivative financial instruments to manage interest rate risk related to its Term Loan A Facilities.Facilities (as defined in Note 7—Debt, below). The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements.movements on Term Loan Facilities (as defined in Note 7—Debt, below) that have variable index-based interest rates. To accomplish these objectives, the Company uses pay-fixed interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. As of both June 30,December 29, 2017 and March 31, 2017, the Company had outstanding pay-fixed interest rate derivatives with a notional value of $1.4 billion, which were designated as a cash flow hedge of interest rate risk. The swap positions consist of a $1.1 billion notional swap agreement maturing in November 2020 and $300 million in aggregate notional swap agreements maturing in March 2018.
The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges is recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”), net of taxes, and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivatives is recognized directly in earnings. There was no ineffective portion in either the three months ended June 30, 2017 or July 1, 2016.

Foreign Currency Forward Exchange Contracts
The Company transacts business in various foreign currencies, which subjects its cash flows and earnings to exposure related to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The exposure arises primarily from purchases from or sales to third parties. Foreign currency forward exchange contracts provide for the purchase or sale of foreign currencies at specified future dates at specified exchange rates;rates, and are used to offset changes in the fair value of forecasted cash flows related to transactions denominated in foreign currencies. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2018, the Company began hedging certain of these forecasted cash flows. As of June 30,December 29, 2017, the Company had outstanding foreign currency forward exchange contracts with notional amounts totaling $17.2$11.2 million. Neither the fair value of these derivatives at June 30,December 29, 2017 nor the gain or loss reclassified into earnings from AOCI nor any recognized amount related to the ineffective portion of the derivative instruments during the threenine months ended June 30,December 29, 2017 was significant. We do not expect amounts that will be reclassified into earnings within the next twelve months to be significant. The notional values consist primarily of contracts for the Mexican peso, ColumbiaColumbian peso, and Canadian dollar, and are stated in U.S. dollar equivalents.
Fair Value of Derivative Instruments
The fair values of derivative instruments are presented on a gross basis as none of the Company’s derivative contracts are subject to master netting arrangements. The fair value of the Company’s derivative financial instruments was an asset of $14.8$22.2 million and $18.2 million as of June 30,December 29, 2017 and March 31, 2017, respectively. These derivative instruments are classified by their short- and long-term components based on the fair value of the anticipated timing of their cash flows. For net asset positions, the current portion is included in Prepaid expenses and other current assets and the long-term portion is included in Other assets in the unaudited Consolidated and Condensed Balance Sheets. There was no significant impact to the Company’s earnings related to the ineffective portion of any hedging instruments during botheither the threenine months ended June 30,December 29, 2017 or July 1,December 30, 2016. Cash flows associated with derivative contracts are recorded in operating activities in the unaudited Consolidated and Condensed StatementStatements of Cash Flows.
Under applicable agreements relating to the Company’s interest rate swaps, a counterparty could declare the Company to be in default on its derivative obligations if repayment of the underlying indebtedness is accelerated by the lender due to the Company’s default.

Derivatives Not Designated for Hedge Accounting
Total Return Swaps

The Company uses total return swap derivative contracts to manage exposure to the market volatility of notional investments underlying its deferred compensation obligations. These arrangements are entered into monthly and settled on the last day of every fiscal month. For accounting purposes, these derivatives are not designated as hedges. As changes in the fair value of the deferred compensation liabilities are recognized in Cost of services and Selling, general and administrative expenses, so too are the changes in the fair value of the total return swaps derivative contracts. Amounts related to the total return swaps recognized in both the three months ended June 30, 2017 and July 1, 2016 were not significant.
Concentrations of Risk
The Company is subject to counterparty risk in connection with its interest rate swap derivative contracts. Credit risk related to a derivative financial instrument represents the possibility that the counterparty will not fulfill the terms of the contract. The Company mitigates this credit risk by enteringseeking to enter into agreements with credit-worthy counterparties. As of both June 30,December 29, 2017 and March 31, 2017, there was one interest rate swap counterparty with greater than a 10% concentration of our total exposure.

Note 4—Acquisitions
Fiscal Year 2018 Acquisitions
On July 3, 2017, CSRA acquired NES for a base price of $105.0 million, less $0.9 million of working capital adjustments. The consideration consisted of $100.9 million in cash and $3.2 million deposited in escrow on behalf of the seller. CSRA recorded the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their estimated fair value, and recorded the difference between the fair value of the net assets acquired and the purchase consideration as goodwill. See Note 5—Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets for further discussion of the measurement considerations for acquired intangible assets.

The Company provisionally recorded the assets acquired and liabilities assumed of NES at their estimated fair values. As of December 29, 2017, the Company had not finalized the determination of fair values associated with NES’s current assets and liabilities but expects to do so by the first quarter of fiscal year 2019.
On November 17, 2017, CSRA acquired Praxis for $235 million in cash, subject to closing adjustments. Praxis is a consulting and solutions firm dedicated to the practical application of software and systems engineering technologies to the U.S. government.
The following table presents the estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in our acquisition of Praxis as of November 17, 2017:
Preliminary allocation (in millions): Amount
 Cash, accounts receivable and other current assets $49
 Property, equipment and other long-term assets 2
 Intangibles—customer relationships, backlog and other intangibles assets 95
 Accounts payable and other current liabilities (36)
 Total identified net assets acquired 110
   
 Goodwill 125
   
 Total purchase consideration and liabilities paid at closing $235
Due to the recency of the Praxis acquisition, the preliminary purchase price allocation was recorded on a provisional basis and is subject to change as the Company completes its analysis of the fair value at the date of the transaction, which could have a material impact.
Goodwill associated with the NES and Praxis acquisitions is tax-deductible. Pro forma financial information for the NES and Praxis acquisitions has not been presented as the revenue and operating income of NES and Praxis included in the Company’s unaudited Consolidated and Condensed Statement of Operations for the period, on a combined basis, was not material the Company’s consolidated results.
Note 5—Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
In connection with acquisitions of other businesses, CSRA recognized goodwill and other intangible assets, which includes customer relationships, intangibles, backlog, and contract-related intangibles. In addition, the Company records acquired and developed software technology as an intangible asset. The Company’s goodwill and other intangible assets arose primarily from the merger with SRA International Inc. (“SRA”) in fiscal year 2016.

Testing for Goodwill Impairment
The Company tests for impairment annually on the first day of the second fiscal quarter;quarter, and between annual tests if an event occurs, or circumstances change, that would “more likely than not” reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. At the end of each annual and quarterly period, CSRA assesses whetherdetermines if any such events or changes occurred that require goodwill to be tested for impairment.
On July 2, 2016, the date of CSRA’s last annual impairment test,1, 2017, the Company performed its annual test of impairment and concluded qualitatively that the fair value of each reporting unit significantly exceeded its carrying value. As of June 30,December 29, 2017, CSRA assessed and determined that there have beenwere no indicators that required management to perform an interim goodwill impairment assessment test. There were no accumulated impairment losses at either June 30,December 29, 2017 or March 31, 2017.
Other Intangible Assets

Other intangible assets consist primarily of customer relationships, intangibles, backlog, and technology. Acquired intangible assets have been recorded at their fair value using various discounted cash flow valuation techniques that incorporated Level 3 inputs as described under the fair value hierarchy of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements (“ASC 820”). TheThese unobservable inputs used reflect CSRA’s assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset on a non-recurring basis.
In connection with the acquisitions of NES and Praxis, the Company identified $24.8 million and $94.5 million, respectively, of intangible assets, representing customer relationships, backlog, and contract intangibles. The fair value measurements of these intangibles were primarily based on significant inputs not observable in the market and represent a Level 3 measurement. The income approach was primarily used to value intangible assets; this approach indicates value for an asset based on the present value of cash flow projected to be generated by the asset. Projected cash flow is discounted at a rate of return that reflects the time value of money.

Note 7—8—Income Taxes

On December 22, 2017, the U.S. government enacted the Tax Act. Among other provisions, this law significantly modifies the existing U.S. tax code for corporations, including a prospective change in the statutory tax rate from 35% to 21%, repeal of the corporate alternative minimum tax, changes to business tax deductions, and significant revision of international tax provisions. The change in the statutory tax rate is effective beginning January 1, 2018. As CSRA operates on a fiscal year calendar, the new rate is effective for the Company’s fourth quarter of fiscal year 2018. However, certain provisions of the new law, including asset depreciation rates for tax purposes, became effective at dates during the three months ended December 29, 2017 and the Company is required to evaluate its deferred tax assets and liabilities as of December 29, 2017 using the new statutory rates (subject to considerations in SAB 118). The Company’s net benefit for income taxes in the three months ended December 29, 2017 included a benefit of $100.7 million associated with: (a) the estimated net effect of these changes on CSRA’s deferred tax liabilities and assets at the end of the period; and to a much lesser extent (b) a change in the Company’s liability for an uncertain tax position. CSRA evaluated its deferred tax assets and liabilities on a provisional basis using management estimates. The impact of the Tax Act may differ from these estimates, possibly materially, due to, among other things, changes in interpretations and assumptions the Company has made. Any adjustments recorded to the provisional amounts through the third quarter of fiscal year 2019 will be included in income from operations as an adjustment to tax expense.

Excluding the net benefit associated with the evaluation of deferred tax items, our provision for taxes on current period income in the three months ended December 29, 2017 was recognized using reasonable estimates of income and the statutory rate of the Company for the full fiscal year. As the Company’s fiscal year end is March 30, 2018, the statutory federal corporate tax rate is prorated to 31.6%. The Company’s federal corporate statutory tax rate for fiscal year 2019 and beyond will be 21.0%. CSRA’s effective tax rate (“ETR”) was 36.5%(64.1)% and 4.4% for the three and nine months ended June 30,December 29, 2017, respectively, compared to 35.7%37.3% and 36.4% for the three and nine months ended July 1, 2016. The higher ETR for the three months ended JuneDecember 30, 2017 was primarily a result of a reduction in the amount of tax deductible dividend equivalent payments made related to restricted stock unit (“RSU”) awards.

Except for historic SRA tax liabilities and certain separate state liabilities, we are generally only responsible for taxes allocable to periods (or portions of periods) beginning after the Company’s separation from Computer Sciences Corporation (now known as DXC Technology) (“CSC”).2016, respectively.

CSRA is currently under examination in several tax jurisdictions. As a result of the merger with SRA, the taxTax years that2008 and forward remain subject to examination in certain of CSRA’s majorunder both Federal and various state tax jurisdictions are:

jurisdictions. One disputed matter remains unresolved in connection with the Internal Revenue Service’s (“IRS”) examination of SRA’s federal income tax return for 2011. The disputed matter concerns a $136.7 million worthless stock deduction for a disposed subsidiary. CSRA believes its tax positions are appropriate. The Company obtained a tax insurance policy in connection with its merger with SRA that limits CSRA’s exposure related to this position.dispute. It is reasonably possible that changes to CSRA’s unrecognized tax benefits could be significant; due to the uncertainty regarding the IRS administrative appeals process and possible outcomes, however, a currentwe estimate ofthat the range of increases or decreases in our unrecognized benefits that may occur within the next 12 months iswill not expected to be material.

Sale-Leaseback Transaction

On November 2, 2017, CSRA closed a sale-leaseback transaction with MCPII 3170 Fairview, LLC, pursuant to which the Company sold its corporate headquarters building in Falls Church, Virginia, and simultaneously leased back a significant portion of the building. The lease has a 12-year term with two subsequent renewal options of five-years each. The lease qualifies as a capital lease, as the present value of the minimum lease payments exceeds 90% of the fair value of the portion of the property leased by CSRA. The gross sale price was $33.1 million and the Company recognized a loss of approximately $10 million in accordance with accounting guidance for leasing activities (ASC 840). The loss recognized on the sale is included in Selling, general and administrative expenses within the Company’s unaudited Consolidated and Condensed Statement of Operations. Payments under the lease are accounted for as interest and principal payments under the capital lease using a 12 year amortization term. Pursuant to the lease, the landlord agreed to provide a substantial tenant improvement allowance, and in addition, to perform certain renovations and improvements to the property.
As of December 29, 2017, CSRA has the following future minimum lease payments under all of its capital leases, including both facilities and equipment for use on customer contracts:

Letters of Credit and Surety Bonds
In the normal course of business, CSRA may provide certain customers, principally governmental entities, with financial performance guarantees, which are generally backed by stand-by letters of credit or surety bonds. In general, CSRA would only be liable for the amounts of these guarantees in the event that nonperformance by CSRA permits termination of the related contract by the customer. As of June 30,December 29, 2017 and March 31, 2017, CSRA had $20.6$22.9 million and $20.2 million, respectively, of outstanding letters of credit, and $12.5$12.2 million and $12.0 million, respectively of surety bonds related to these performance guarantees. CSRA believes it is in compliance in all material respects with its performance obligations under all service contracts for which there is a financial performance guarantee and that the ultimate liability, if any, incurred in connection with these guarantees willwould not have a material adverse effect on its unaudited Consolidated and Condensed Financial Statements.
Indemnifications and Other Commitments
CSRA generally indemnifies licensees of its proprietary software products against claims brought by third parties alleging infringement of intellectual property rights (including rights in patents, copyrights, trademarks, and trade secrets). Historically, CSRA has not incurred significant costs related to licensee software indemnifications.
In May 2017, CSRA executed an agreement for the acquisition of NES for $105 million in cash, subject to closing adjustments. The acquisition was settled in July 2017 and was funded from cash on hand and increased borrowings.
Contingencies
CSRA accrues a liability when management believes that it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated under applicable accounting guidance. CSRA believes it has appropriately recognized liabilities for any such matters. In addition to the matters noted below, CSRA is currently party to a number of disputes whichthat involve or may involve litigation. CSRA assessed reasonably possible losses for all other such pending legal or other proceedings in the aggregate and concluded that the range of potential loss is not material.
U.S. Government Agency Reviews
CSRA is routinely subject to investigations and reviews relating to compliance with various laws and regulations relating to its role as a contractor to federal, state, and local government customers and in connection with performing services in countries outside of the U.S. Adverse findings in these investigations or reviews can lead to criminal, civil, or administrative proceedings, and CSRA could face penalties, fines, compensatory damages, and suspension or debarment from doing business with governmental agencies. In addition, CSRA could suffer serious reputational harm if allegations of impropriety were made against CSRA. Adverse findings could also have a material adverse effect on CSRA’s business and its unaudited Consolidated and Condensed Financial Statements due to CSRA’s reliance on government contracts.

U.S. government agencies, including the Defense Contract Audit Agency (“DCAA”), Defense Contract Management Agency (“DCMA”), 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. These agencies also review the adequacy of the contractor’s compliance with government standards for its business systems including: a contractor’s accounting system, earned value management system, estimating system, materials management and accounting system, property management system, and purchasing system.
CSRA’s indirect cost audits by the DCAA (including audits of both CSRA LLC and SRA) remain open for several fiscal years. Although the Company recorded contract revenuesrevenue based upon estimates of costs that the

As of June 30,December 29, 2017 and March 31, 2017, CSRA has recorded a liability of $16.1$16.3 million and $16.5 million, respectively, for its current best estimate of net amounts to be refunded to customers for potential adjustments from such audits or reviews of contract costs. This amount includesThese amounts include potential adjustments related to both pre-separation and post-separation audits or reviews.
Legal Proceedings
The Company is involved in various lawsuits, claims, and administrative proceedings arising in the normal course of business, including many matters that arose before the Company’s separation from CSC. See Note 21—Commitments and Contingencies in CSRA’s Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017 for additional information. During the threenine months ended June 30,December 29, 2017, the following significant developments arose with respect to these matters:
State of Maryland, Medicaid Enterprise Restructuring Project (“MERP”)
On June 21,September 15, 2017, the Maryland Department of Health (the “State”) issued a procurement officer's decision and Departmental Final Action (the “Final Action”) denying CSC’s remaining undecided claims against the State in the total amount of $83 million. In the Final Action, the State also purports to award itself approximately $521 million on its counterclaim. The State alleges a default by CSC under the contracts for MERP. CSC contests both the State’s allegation that it defaulted and the amount of State’s alleged damages. CSC timely filed a notice of appeal with the Maryland State Board of Contract Appeals (the “State Board”), which will consider CSC’s claims and the State’s counterclaim anew.
CSC’s claims against the State have been consolidated at the State Board. On January 12, 2018, CSC filed various strong dispositive motions at the State Board, one of which challenges the State Board’s jurisdiction over the State’s claims against CSC. CSC’s January 12, 2018, motions also request summary decision on the State’s claims should jurisdiction be found.  
On November 22, 2017, the State filed a fraud complaint in Maryland State Circuit Court for Anne Arundel County, Maryland granted the motion of the Maryland Office of the Attorney General (“OAG”)alleging that CSC’s purported contractual nonperformance amounted to dismiss CSCs complaint seeking a declaratory judgment thatfraud under common law and the Maryland False Health Claims Act (the “Complaint”). In the Complaint, the State seeks penalties of 2010 does not apply$0.8 million, unspecified compensatory damages in excess of $500 million, which may be trebled under the Maryland False Health Claims Act, and punitive damages in excess of $500 million. The complaint also sets forth specified damages totaling approximately $44 million, which are also set forth in the State’s $521 million counter-claim filed with the State Board in September 2017. On December 29, 2017, CSC removed the case to the MERP contractU.S. District Court for the District of Maryland and does not authorizeon January 5, 2018, filed several dispositive motions, including a Motion to Dismiss, or in the OAGAlternative for a More Definite Statement, under Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 9(b) and 12(e).

The Court’s decision has no effect on the litigation of CSC’s contract claims againstcorrespond with the State of Maryland (“State”), currently pending before the Maryland Board of Contracts Appeals, relating to the State’s refusalseek a mutually agreeable resolution to amend the MERP contract and equitably adjust the compensation to be paid to CSC. Settlement discussions on CSC’s and the State’s claims have not progressed, and CSC has resumed litigation. CSRA expects to consolidate, on behalf of CSC, all of CSC’s claims against the State with any claims arising from the default termination. these matters.
Management has evaluated the recoverability of its assets related to the MERP contract in light of these developments and concluded that no adjustments to its financial statements are required. Further, we have assessed the legal risk associated with the State’s claim under accounting guidance for contingenciescounterclaim and have concluded at this time that no reserve is required.

(1) Free cash flow is a non-GAAP measure and our definition of free cash flow may differ from that used by other companies. We define free cash flow as equal to the sum of: (a) operating cash flows; (b) investing cash flows, excluding business acquisitions, dispositions (including those of non-operating assets), and investments; and (c) payments on capital leases and other long-term asset financings. For comparability between periods, free cash flow is further adjusted for: (i) non-recurring separation and merger-related payments; (ii) the amount of net proceeds received from the initial sale of billed and/or unbilled receivables at the time that we initially implemented the Master Accounts Receivable Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”); and (iii) the incremental net proceeds received from the initial sale of receivables when they first become eligible for sale under the Purchase Agreement. Free cash flow is not a substitute for operating and investing cash flows as determined in accordance with GAAP. Our management uses free cash flow in reviewing the overall performance of the business and motivating performance through incentive compensation for key business leaders. We believe that strong free cash flow is important to investors in our industry. Free cash flow provides both management and investors a measure of cash generated from operations that is available to fund acquisitions, repay debt, pay dividends, repay debt, and repurchase our common stock. Management overcomes the limitations of this non-GAAP measure by also reviewing the GAAP measures of operating, investing, and financing cash flows.

For the quarternine months ended July 1,December 30, 2016, the amount relates to SRA International Inc. (“SRA”) unbilled receivables under the Purchase Agreement to which SRA was added to during the period. Billed receivables historically sold by SRA under a separate accounts receivable purchase agreement continue under the Purchase Agreement.
(2) Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”) is a non-GAAP measure. Our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA is based on our credit agreement, and may differ from other companies. We changed our Adjusted EBITDA measure that wein fiscal year 2017 to remove fully the costs and benefits associated with our legacy defined benefits plans. We exclude the costs and benefits of legacy defined benefit plans because participation in these plans has been frozen for several years and these costs are not included in the compensation of our employees. We believe Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors regarding our results of operations, as it provides another measure of our profitability and our ability to service our debt and is considered an important measure by financial analysts covering CSRA and peer companies in our industry. We changed our Adjusted EBITDA measure in fiscal year 2017 to fully remove the costs and benefits associated with out legacy defined benefits plans. Our calculation of adjusted EBITDA is based on our credit agreement, and may differ from other companies. We exclude the costs and benefits of legacy defined benefit plans because participation in these plans has been frozen for several years and these costs are not included in the compensation of our employees.

Business Drivers and Key Performance Indicators
We manage and assess the performance of our business through various measures, including contract awards, revenue, backlog, days sales outstanding, and free cash flow. See the discussion below as well as the MD&A in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for further discussion of factors that drive our business results and our key performance indicators. Certain of our key performance indicators for the three and nine months ended June 30,December 29, 2017, were as follows:


26

•
We announced contract awards(3) of $1.6 billion and $7.4 billion for the first quarter of fiscal year 2018three and nine months ended December 29, 2017, respectively, as compared to $1.3$1.9 billion forand $5.5 billion during the first quarter of fiscal year 2017.three and nine months ended December 30, 2016, respectively.
Revenue recognized in the first quarter of FY18 was$1.23 billion, compared to $1.25 billion in the firstthird quarter of fiscal year 2018 was$1.31 billion, compared to $1.22 billion in the third quarter of fiscal year 2017. Revenue was $3.81 billion in the nine months ended December 29, 2017, compared to $3.74 billion in the nine months ended December 30, 2016.
•
Total backlog(4) was $15.6$18.2 billion at June 30,December 29, 2017, compared to $15.2 billion at March 31, 2017. Of the total backlog at June 30,December 29, 2017, $2.8$1.2 billion is expected to be realized as revenue during the remaining nine monthsfourth quarter of fiscal year 2018, and$2.5 $2.6 billion is funded. As of December 29, 2017, backlog for the Defense and Intelligence segment was $9.5 billion and was $8.7 billion for the Civil segment.
•
Days Sales Outstanding (“DSO”)(5) was 5659 days as of June 30,December 29, 2017 compared to 54 days and 49 days as of September 30, 2017 and March 31, 2017.2017, respectively. The increase in DSO in the firstthird quarter is primarily due to an increase in our unbilled receivablesreceivable balance related to timing and contract modifications that occurred late in the period on certain contracts.quarter. DSO as of December 29, 2017 excludes amounts associated with Praxis for consistency in comparability.
Free cash flow was $76$133 million and $67$223 million for the three and nine months ended JuneDecember 29, 2017, respectively, compared to $191 million and $266 million for the three and nine months ended December 30, 2017 and July 1, 2016, respectively.

(3) Announced award values for competitive indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (“IDIQ”) awards represent the expected contract value at the time a task order is awarded under the contract. Announced values for non-competitive indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity awards represent management’s estimate at the award date.

(4) Backlog represents the total estimated contract value of predominantly long-term contracts, based on customer commitments that we believe to be firm, less the amount of revenue already recognized on those contracts. Backlog includes potential orders under IDIQ contracts where CSRA is the sole awardee. Backlog value is based on contract commitments, management’s judgment, and assumptions about volume of services, availability of customer funding, and other factors. Backlog estimates for government contracts include both the funded and unfunded portions and all of the option periods. Backlog estimates are subject to change and may be affected by factors including modifications of contracts and foreign currency movements.

(5) DSO is calculated as total receivables from customer contracts at the fiscal period end divided by revenue-per-day. Revenue-per-day equals total revenuesrevenue divided by the number of days in the fiscal period. We revised our calculation of DSO in the first quarter of fiscal year 2018 to reflect only customer receivables (billed and unbilled) and exclude other receivable balances. Prior period data has been revised to conform to the current presentation.

Economic and Industry Factors
For both the threenine months ended June 30,December 29, 2017 and July 1,December 30, 2016, we generated approximately 94% and 93%, respectively, of our total revenuesrevenue from sales to the U.S government either as a prime contractor or subcontractor to other prime contractors. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2017 and July 1,December 29, 2017, we generated approximately 43%46% and 45%44%, respectively, of our total revenuesrevenue from the DoD (including all branches of the U.S. military) and Intelligence Communityintelligence community and approximately 57%54% and 55%56%, respectively, of our total revenuesrevenue from health and civil contracts. We expect to continue to derive substantially all of our revenuesrevenue from work performed under U.S. government contracts. As a result, our business performance is affected by the overall level of U.S. government spending and the alignment of our offerings and capabilities with the budget priorities of the U.S. government. While we believe that federal discretionary spending will grow, government budget deficits and the national U.S. debt willmay constrain spending across many federal agencies. Adverse changes in fiscal and economic conditions, including sequestration, future government shutdowns, and issues related to the nation’s debt ceiling, could materially impact our business. Although theThe U.S. government has yet to finalize a budget and spending plan for the U.S. Government’s fiscal year, the U.S. Congress passedis operating under a continuing resolution bill passed on January 22, 2018 that extends the operations of the government to February 8, 2018. Negotiations continue in Congress to extend funding for the U.S. Government for the remainder of its fiscal year ending September 30, 2017.2018.
Our market is highly competitive and has characteristics unique to the federal contracting environment. Almost all of our U.S. government contracts and subcontracts may be modified, curtailed, or terminated either at the convenience of the government or for default based on factors set forth in the Federal Acquisition Regulation (“FAR”).

competitive. Our results of operations and our defined benefit plans are also impacted by economic conditions generally, including macroeconomic conditions, and the impact that they have on the U.S. government. We monitor macroeconomic and credit market conditions and levels of business confidence and their potential effect on our customers and on us. Our results of operations are also affected by the evolving priorities of the U.S. government, as well as by the pace of technological change and the type and level of technology spending by our customers. The ability to identify and capitalize on these markets and technological changes early in their cyclesrevenue is a key driver of our performance.
Revenues are driven by our ability to secure new contracts and to deliver solutions and services that add value to our customers. To drive revenue growth we believe that we must deliver market-leading service offerings and deploy skilled teams of professionals quickly across all government industries and domains. We believe that our scale, and our combination of technical expertise in applications and IT infrastructure solutions, combined with our deep public sector mission knowledge and experience, firmly established vendor partnerships, and commitment to a culture of frugality, will enable us to compete effectively in the current market environment.
Our revenue is derived principally from contracts that have characteristics unique to the federal contracting environment. Almost all of our U.S. government contracts and subcontracts may be modified, curtailed, or terminated either at the convenience of the government or for default based on factors set forth in the Federal Acquisition Regulation (“FAR”).
On December 22, 2017, the U.S. government enacted the “Tax Cuts and Jobs Act” of 2017 (the “Tax Act”). Among other provisions, this law significantly modifies the existing U.S. tax code for corporations, including a prospective change in the statutory tax rate from 35% to 21%, repeal of the corporate alternative minimum tax, changes to business tax deductions, and significant revision of international tax provisions. The change in the statutory tax rate is effective beginning January 1, 2018. Our net benefit for income taxes in the three months ended December 29, 2017 includes a $100.7 million benefit related to: (a) the revaluation of our deferred tax assets and liabilities arising from the Tax Act; and to a much lesser extent (b) a change in the Company’s liability for an uncertain tax position. Excluding the revaluation adjustment, our provision for taxes on current period income was recognized using reasonable estimates of income and the statutory rate of the Company for the full fiscal year. As our fiscal year end is March 30, 2018, CSRA’s statutory federal corporate tax rate is prorated to 31.6%. Our federal statutory rate for fiscal year 2019 and beyond will be 21.0%.
Our results of operations and our defined benefit plans are also impacted by economic conditions generally, including macroeconomic conditions, and the impact that they have on the U.S. government. We monitor macroeconomic and credit market conditions and levels of business confidence and their potential effect on our customers and on us. Our results of operations are also affected by the pace of technological change and the type and level of technology spending by our customers. The ability to identify and capitalize on these technological changes and customer technology spending early in their cycles is a key driver of our performance.
Results of Operations
We report our financial results using a fiscal year convention that comprises four thirteen-week quarters. Every fifth fiscal year includes an additional week in the first quarter to prevent the fiscal year from moving from an approximate end of March date. The first nine months and third quarters of fiscal years 2018 and 2017 arewere comprised of an equivalent number of weeks.

This declineBoth the three month and nine month periods in fiscal year 2018 include the revenue associated with NES since July 3, 2017 and Praxis since November 17, 2017, which is immaterial in these comparisons.
Defense and Intelligence Segment
For the three and nine months ended December 29, 2017, Defense and Intelligence segment revenue increased by $49 million, or 8.8%, and decreased by $12 million, or 0.7%, respectively, as compared to the same fiscal periods of the prior year.
For the three months ended December 29, 2017, the revenue increase was primarily due to new contract awards and net increases on existing task orders across multiple U.S. government programs partially offset by a $16 million decline associated with the $25Logistics Modernization Program (“LMP”) contract.

Operating Income
Operating income increased approximately 20.4%23.1% to $136$128 million and approximately 15.0% to $398 million for the three and nine months ended December 29, 2017, respectively, from $104 million and $346 million for the three and nine months ended December 30, 2016, respectively.
For the three months ended December 29, 2017, the increase in the first quarter of fiscal year 2018operating income was primarily due to an increase in revenue and lower total operating costs, resulting from $113 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2017. This increase was due primarily to program delivery efficiencies and indirect cost reductions, which resulted in lower Cost of services (“COS”) andas a percentage of revenue. Selling, general and& administrative (“SG&A”) expenses as a percentage of revenueexpense increased slightly in the fiscal year 2018 period. In addition, amortization declinedthree months ended December 29, 2017, due to an approximate $10 million loss on the sale of the Company’s headquarters facility in the first quarter of fiscal year 2018period. Additionally, depreciation, and amortization costs declined due to the absence of amortization of the company’s headquarters facility as well as contract backlog assets acquired in the SRA merger, which were fully depreciatedamortized by the end of fiscal year 2017.
For the nine months ended December 29, 2017, the increase in operating income was primarily due to the program delivery efficiencies and indirect cost reductions, which lowered total operating costs, resulting from lower COS and SG&A costs, as a percentage of revenue. However, SG&A in the nine months ended December 29, 2017 was negatively impacted by an approximate $10 million loss on the sale of the Company’s headquarters facility. Additionally, depreciation and amortization costs declined due to the absence of amortization of the company’s headquarters facility as well as contract backlog assets acquired in the SRA merger, which were fully amortized by the end of fiscal year 2017.

Defense and Intelligence Segment
Despite a decline in segment revenue inFor the three months ended June 30,December 29, 2017, Defense and Intelligence segment operating income increased by $15$33 million, or 34.9%approximately 89.2%, as compared to the same fiscal period of the prior year. The increase is primarily due to lower indirect costs allocated to the segment, mostly related to depreciation and amortization.
For the nine months ended December 29, 2017, Defense and Intelligence segment operating income increased by $54 million, or 36.2%, as compared to the same fiscal period of the prior year. The increase is primarily due to lower indirect costs allocated to the segment, mostly related to depreciation and amortization. These changes were partially offset by the decline in segment revenue.
Civil Segment
For the three months ended June 30,December 29, 2017, the Civil segment’s operating income decreased by $3 million, or 3.3%, as compared to the same fiscal period of the prior year. The decrease is primarily due to higher direct costs primarily associated with software license fees, and was partially offset by lower indirect costs allocated to the segment, mostly related to depreciation and amortization. The segment’s operating income in the fiscal year 2018 period benefited from an increase in revenue.
For the nine months ended December 29, 2017, the Civil segment’s operating income increased by $5$13 million, or 5.4%4.8%, as compared to the same fiscal period of the prior year. The increase is primarily due to lower indirect costs allocated to the segment, mostly related to depreciation and amortization. In addition, the segment’s operating income in the first quarter of fiscal year 2018period benefited from an increase in revenue compared to the prior year period.revenue.

The decrease is primarilyOverall, cost of services as a resultpercent of revenue were relatively stable compared to prior year periods. However, program delivery efficiencies, as well as integration efficiencies from SRA, were partially offset by higher costs on the increased revenue from new awards and slightly higher indirect cost reductions.costs.
Selling, General and Administrative
For both the three months ended JuneDecember 29, 2017 and December 30, 2017,2016, SG&A as a percentage of revenue decreased to 4.0% aswas 4.3%, compared to 4.5%4.1% and 4.4% for the same periodnine months ended December 29, 2017 and December 30, 2016, respectively. The three and nine month periods of fiscal year 2018 include approximately $10 million of loss recognized on the sale of the prior year. The decrease isCompany’s headquarters facility in the third quarter of fiscal year 2018. Absent that expense, SG&A would have decreased in the fiscal year 2018 periods due primarily a result ofto lower bid and proposal expenses and other indirect cost reductions as compared tofor the prior year.three and nine month periods.

For the three and nine months ended June 30,December 29, 2017, and July 1, 2016, expense related to equity awards included within SG&A expenses in our results of operations was $3.8$3.3 million and $3.0$11.3 million, respectively.respectively, compared to $18.0 million and $25.1 million for the same periods of the prior year.

This decrease isThese decreases are primarily due to the absence of amortization of contract backlog assets acquired in the SRA merger, which were fully depreciatedamortized by the end of fiscal year 2017. Partially offsetting this decrease,these decreases, we curtailed our use of certain software during the first quarter of fiscal year 2018;2018, and recognized approximately $4.9 million of accelerated amortization expense during the period.

SeparationAcquisition, Integration, and MergerOther Costs
SeparationAcquisition, integration, and other costs consist of separately identifiable acquisition costs and fees paid to third parties for completed acquisitions as well as integration, transition, and other costs for integrating the businesses. In prior periods, we also incurred separation and merger costs are costs that we incurred in connection with our separation from Computer Sciences Corporation (now known as DXC Technology) (“CSC”) and our subsequent merger with SRA. These costs areconsisted primarily comprised of severance and other personnel costs, third-party accounting, legal, and other consulting services, as well as information technology infrastructure and application costs. For the three and nine months ended June 30,December 29, 2017, acquisition, integration, and July 1, 2016, separation and mergerother costs were $5$3 million and $17 million, respectively, and were slightly lower compared to the same periods in bothfiscal year 2017 when Spin-off and SRA integration costs were generally higher than in the current year periods.


35

Net Benefit of Defined Benefit Plans
Our defined benefit plans (the “Plans”) relate to certain legacy operations that we absorbed in the separation from CSC and are frozen for all participants. Thus, the net benefits of the Plans for the first quarters ofin fiscal yearsyear 2018 and 2017periods primarily represent the amount thatby which the expected return on plan assets exceeded the interest cost of our benefit obligation. However, net benefits in the three and nine month periods ended December 30, 2016 included $13 million of settlement gains associated with a voluntary settlement with certain participants as well as $101 million of actuarial gains arising from the interim remeasurement that was triggered by the settlement action in the prior year. The decrease in net benefits of the Plans was primarily due tothe remeasurement and settlement gains in the prior year that did not recur in fiscal year 2018. To a lesser extent, the fiscal year 2018 period declines also reflect a lower expected long-term rate of return on plan assets combined with a lower base of net pension assets in the Plans, which resulted from settlements with certain participants in the third quarter of fiscal year 2017.Plans. For additional information about our estimates of the expected return on plan assets and discount rates associated with our Plans, see Note 16—Pension and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans in our Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements within our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017.
Interest Expense, Net
Interest expense was $30$29 million in both the three months ended June 30, 2017 and July 1, 2016. Interest expense$88 million for the three and nine months ended JuneDecember 29, 2017, respectively, compared to $36 million and $95 million for the three and nine months ended December 30, 2017 reflects slightly lower amortization on deferred financing costs and interest associated with derivatives and capital lease obligations. In addition, the Company amended its debt facilities in the first quarter of fiscal year 2018, which resulted in loss on partial extinguishment of existing debt of approximately $2 million, which is included in2016, respectively. See Note 7—Debt for further information about interest expense, for the period.net.
Other Expense, Net
Other expense, net comprises gains and losses from the sale of businesses andcertain non-operating assets, the impact of movement in foreign currency exchange rates on CSRA's unhedged foreign currency denominated activity, and other miscellaneous gains and losses.
Other expense, net werewas $2 million and $5 million for the three and nine months ended December 29, 2017, respectively, compared to $1 million and $3 million for the three and nine months ended December 30, 2016, respectively.
Income Taxes
Our net benefit for income taxes in both the three months ended June 30,December 29, 2017 included a benefit of $100.7 million associated with: (a) the estimated net effect of the revaluation adjustment of CSRA’s deferred tax liabilities and July 1, 2016.
Taxes
assets at the end of the period associated with the Tax Act; and to a much lesser extent (b) a change in the Company’s liability for an uncertain tax position. We evaluated its deferred tax assets and liabilities on a provisional basis using management estimates. Our effective tax rate (“ETR”) was 36.5%(64.1)% and 4.4% for the three and nine months ended June 30,December 29, 2017, respectively, compared to 37.3% and 35.7%36.4% for the three and nine months ended July 1, 2016.December 30, 2016, respectively. The higherlower ETR for the three and nine months ended June 30,December 29, 2017 iswas primarily a result of a reductionthe provisional change to the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities discussed above and the change to the statutory income tax rate enacted with the Tax Act. In addition, the Company’s ETR in fiscal year 2018 benefited from recognition of estimated tax credits for research and development activities, which excluding the impact of the Tax Act, lowered the ETR approximately 2.7 percentage points in the amount of tax deductible dividend equivalent payments related to RSU awards.nine months ended December 29, 2017.

Significant management judgment is required in determining our provision for income taxes, deferred tax assets and liabilities, and any valuation allowance recorded against deferred tax assets. We continueThe impact of the Tax Act may differ from these estimates, possibly materially, due to, carry a valuation allowance of $8.7 million against deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2017 relatingamong other things, changes in interpretations and assumptions the Company has made.

Operating Cash Flow
Net cash provided by operating activities for the threenine months ended June 30,December 29, 2017 was $87$316 million, a decrease of $69$122 million compared to the threenine months ended July 1,December 30, 2016. Operating cash flow in the first quarternine months of fiscal year 2018 was negatively affected by: (a) increases in our accounts receivable balance; (b) declines in accounts payable and accrued expenses; and (c)by a decrease in other long-term liabilities. This compares to the first quarter of fiscal year 2017 when our operating cash flow was positively affected by: (a) decreases in our accounts receivable balance; (b) ansignificant increase in accounts payablereceivable in the period from delays in billing and accrued expenses;collections as well as the addition of receivables associated with NES and (c) an increase in other long-term liabilities.Praxis.
Investing Cash Flow
Net cash used in investing activities for the threenine months ended June 30,December 29, 2017 was $6$381 million, as compared to $43$118 million for the threenine months ended July 1,December 30, 2016. The declineincrease in the fiscal year 2018 period compared to the fiscal year 2017 period is primarily due to a reduction in restricted cash associated with the Purchase Agreementour purchases of NES and Praxis, which was partially offset by proceeds from fixed asset disposals during the first quartersale of fiscal year 2018.our corporate headquarters building.
Financing Cash Flow
Net cash used inprovided by financing activities for the threenine months ended June 30,December 29, 2017 was $13$19 million, down from $110compared $288 million of cash used in financing activities in the threenine months ended July 1,December 30, 2016. The use ofnet cash inprovided from financing activities in fiscal year 2018 primarily reflects: (a) repurchasereflects our receipt of $151 million of proceeds from borrowings (net of repayments) whereas the fiscal year 2017 period reflects our net repayment of $195 million on long-term debt in that period. Financing activities in the fiscal year 2018 period also reflect repurchases of our common stock and (b)the payment of quarterly cash dividends to common stockholders, partially offset by (c) borrowings under our revolving credit facility (net of repayments).stockholders. As discussed in “Debt Financing” below, we refinanced our debtcredit facilities in both the first and third quarter of fiscal year 2017 and the first quarterquarters of fiscal year 2018, which extended the maturities of our credit facilities and resulted in lower margins over base index interest rates on our outstanding debt. Interest expense in the first quarter of fiscal year 2018 was unchanged from the first quarter of fiscal year 2017.
Discussion of Financial Condition
Cash and Cash equivalents were $194$80 million and $126 million at June 30,December 29, 2017 and March 31, 2017, respectively.
CSRA maintains an accounts receivable sales facility under our Purchase Agreement with The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd., The Bank of Nova Scotia, and Mizuho Bank, Ltd., each as Purchaser, for the continuous non-recourse sale of CSRA’s eligible trade receivables. Under the Purchase Agreement, CSRA can sell oursells eligible receivables, including billed receivables and certain unbilled receivables arising from “cost plus fixed fee” and “time and materials” contracts up to $450 million outstanding at any one time. CSRA has no retained interests in the transferred receivables, and only performs collection and administrative functions for the Purchaser for a servicing fee. On August 8, 2017, we extended the term of this facility for one year.
During the threenine months ended June 30,December 29, 2017 and July 1,December 30, 2016, we sold $711 million$2.26 billion and $696 million,$2.33 billion, respectively, of our billed and unbilled receivables for cash. Collections by the purchaser on the receivables we sold were $715 million$2.1 billion and $579 million,$2.2 billion for the threenine months ended June 30,December 29, 2017 and July 1,December 30, 2016, respectively. As of


3237

June 30,respectively. As of December 29, 2017, there was also $18.8$13.9 million of cash collected but not remitted due to timing of settlements, which was recorded as restricted cash. Total receivables sold, net of collections and fees related to accounts receivable sales, resulted in an (decrease) increase in operating cash flow of $(5)$130 million and $116$137 million for the threenine months ended June 30,December 29, 2017, and July 1,December 30, 2016, respectively.
Liquidity
As of June 30,December 29, 2017, CSRA’s total liquidity was $839$780 million, consisting of $194$80 million of cash and cash equivalents and $645$700 million available under CSRA’s revolving credit facility. In November 2016, we completed an amendment of our debt facilities which extended the terms of the facilities by one year, reduced our interest rate on related borrowings, and changed certain terms in order to provide greater financial flexibility to the Company. We further amended our debt facility in June 2017 to reduce our interest rate on certain borrowings, and reallocated unpaid principal balances among portions of, the facility. See Note 6—Debt to our unaudited Consolidated and Condensed Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q for further information.

Our exposure to operational liquiditycash from operations is primarily derived from long-term contracts, some of which require significant investment of cash flows from operating activities during the initial phases of the contracts. The recovery ofWe recover these investments is over the life of the contract andcontract; this recovery is dependent upon our performance as well as customer acceptance. Continued uncertainty in global economic conditions may also affect our business as customers and suppliers may decide to downsize, defer, or cancel contracts, which could negatively affect operating cash flows.
Our primary cash needs continue to be for working capital, capital expenditures, commitments, and other discretionary investments. In May 2017, we executed an agreement to acquire NES for approximately $105 million in cash, subject to closing adjustments. We drew $55 million from our revolving credit facility on June 30, 2017 and paid $105 million in July 2017 at the closing of this transaction. Our ability to fund our operating needs depends, in part, on our ability to continue to generate positive cash flow from operations or, if necessary, raise cash in the capital markets. Our pension funding obligation represents another potential cash need, depending on asset returns, interest rates and other factors.
In November 2017, we completed our $235 million acquisition for Praxis, which we funded initially, in part, with borrowings under our revolving credit facility. We subsequently repaid these borrowings, and other outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility, with proceeds from an increase in our term loan B facility upon amendment of the credit facilities in December 2017. In November, we executed and closed a sale-leaseback transaction of our corporate headquarters property in Falls Church, Virginia. Pursuant to the transaction we received approximately $31 million, net of fees and costs, and recognized a loss of approximately $10 million on sale of the property during the third quarter.
In the opinion of management, CSRA will be able to meet its liquidity and cash needs for at least the next twelve months through the combination of cash flows from operating activities, available cash balances, and available borrowings under CSRA’s revolving credit facility. If these resources need to be augmented, additional cash requirements would likely be financed by the issuance of debt or equity securities. However, there can be no assurances that CSRA willwould be able to obtain such financing on acceptable terms (or at all) in the future.
Capitalization
At June 30,December 29, 2017, CSRA’s ratio of net debt-to-total capitalization was 81.5%80.0%, a decrease of 3.14.6 percentage points from the end of fiscal year 2017. The decrease in the ratio was primarily the result of debt principal repayments of $10.8 million and anthe increase in equity capital from net income recognized during the first threenine months of fiscal year 2018. We believe our capital structure and financial strength provide us with financial flexibility in a dynamic industry that we believe affords competitive and strategic advantages to providers that maintain financial flexibility.

(7)Total debt is the sum of short and long-term components of GAAP debt and capitalized leases.

(8)Net debt is a non-GAAP measure and our determination of it may not be comparable withdiffer from calculations of similar measures by other issuers. We calculate net debt by subtracting cash and cash equivalents from total debt (including capitalized leases). We believe that net debt assists in understanding our financial position and we use it to monitor our financial leverage. We believe that net debt is useful to investors because it provides insights into our financial strength.
Debt Financing
Including capitalized lease liabilities, CSRA had $129$136 million of current maturities of long-term debt and $2.74$2.86 billion of long-term debt at June 30,December 29, 2017. In March 2016, we executed a series of hedging transactions to manage the interest rate risk related to $1.4 billion of the Senior Secured Term Loanterm loan A facilities. CSRA’s objectives in using cash flow hedges are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements (see Note 3—Derivative Instruments to our unaudited Consolidated and Condensed Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q).
In June 2017, we completed an amendment of our debtcredit facilities to reduce our interest rate on, and reallocate unpaid principal balances among portions of, the facility.credit facilities. In December 2017, we completed an additional amendment of our credit facilities, which extended the maturity dates of each of the tranche A2 facility and the revolving credit facility by one year and increased our borrowings under the term loan B facility by $200 million (the proceeds of which were used, in part, to repay in full our outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility). See Note 6—7—Debt to our unaudited Consolidated and Condensed Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q and “Liquidity” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for information about theseour credit facilities, as amended, including covenants, default provisions, repayment terms, and interest rates of each facility.
Our term loan facilities require us to prepay outstanding term loans, subject to certain exceptions, in the case of excess annual cash flow and in the event of certain asset sales, casualty events, and issuances of debt. Any required excess cash flow payments are due within 90 days following the end of the fiscal year. During the first quarter of fiscal 2017, we paid $48 million related to fiscal year 2016 excess cash flow. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2018, the Company determined it did not have to make an additional repayment related to its excess cash flow for fiscal year 2017 because CSRA’s voluntary repayments during the fiscal year exceeded the amount it would otherwise be required to repay. During the first quarternine months of fiscal year 2018, we paid $10.8$122.6 million on our Term Loan Facilityterm loan facilities (excluding the payment of $180.6 million of the Term Loan Atranche A1 facility and the payment of $150.0 million of the revolving facility with the proceeds of additional borrowings under the Term Loanterm loan B facility).

requirements. Our expected liquidity and capital structure may be impacted, however, by discretionary investments and acquisitions that we may pursue. We are currently evaluating plans to refinance certain portions of our credit facilities. While the timing and financial magnitude of these possible actions


39

are currently indeterminable, we expect to be able to manage and adjust our capital structure in the future to meet our liquiditythe Company’s needs.
Equity Transactions
On November 30, 2015, CSRA’s Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program authorizing up to $400 million in share repurchases of CSRA's outstanding common stock. The timing, volume, and nature of future share repurchases are at the discretion of management and the Audit Committee, and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. CSRA plans to offset equity grants under our compensation plans through share repurchases over time, balancing them with debt reduction and other forms of cash deployment.
During the first quarternine months of fiscal 2018, CSRA repurchased 450,000500,000 shares of common stock through open market purchases for an aggregate consideration of $14.3$15.9 million, at an average price of $31.71$31.72 per share. As of June 30,December 29, 2017, CSRA remained authorized to repurchase $306.7$305.1 million of common stock pursuant to the Share Repurchase Program with an expiration date of March 31, 2019. We paid $1.6 million in July 2017 for 50,000 additional shares of CSRA common stock, at an average price of $31.77 per share, that had been repurchased in June 2017 but had not settled in cash by June 30.
CSRA has declared a cash dividend of $0.10 per share every quarter since the third quarter of fiscal year 2017. In the opinion of management, CSRA has sufficient liquidity and expects to continue paying quarterly cash dividends, subject to approval by our Board of Directors.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
In May 2017, we executed an agreement for the acquisition of NES Associates, LLC (“NES”) for approximately $105 million in cash, subject to closing adjustments. The transaction closed in July 2017. As a result, NES became an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of CSRA at the beginning of the second quarter of fiscal year 2018.
As of June 30,December 29, 2017, we did not have any other significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in our financial condition, revenues, orrevenue, expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.
Contractual Obligations
CSRA has contractual obligations for long-term debt, capital lease liabilities and other obligations, including our performance guarantees and expiration of the stand-by letters of credit. See Note 6—7—Debt and Note 13—Commitments and Contingencies to our unaudited Consolidated and Condensed Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q for further information about these obligations.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Recent accounting pronouncements and the anticipated impact to CSRA are described in Note 1—Description of the Business, Basis of Presentation and Recent Accounting Pronouncements to our unaudited Consolidated and Condensed Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q.
Our unaudited Consolidated and Condensed Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of unaudited Consolidated and Condensed Financial Statements in accordance with GAAP requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, as well as the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and other factors believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Many of the estimates madewe make are for contract-specific issues. Changes to estimates or assumptions on a specific contract could result in a material adjustment to the unaudited Consolidated and Condensed Financial Statements. See “Critical Accounting Policies” in our Form 10-K for additional


35

information about these estimates. For all of these estimates, we caution that future events rarely develop exactly as forecast, and the best estimates routinely require adjustment.
Revenue recognition
Substantially all of our revenue is derived from contracts with departments and agencies of the U.S. government, as well as other state and local government agencies. We generate our revenue from the following types of contractual arrangements: time and materials contracts, firm-fixed-price contracts, and cost-plus-fee contracts, which comprised approximately 21%23%, 45%, and 34%32%, respectively, of our revenue in the threenine months ended June 30,December 29, 2017, compared to 21%, 42%44%, and 37%35%, respectively, of our revenue in the threenine months ended July 1,December 30, 2016.


40

Many of our contracts require the use of estimates-at-completion (“EAC”) in the application of the percentage-of-completion accounting method. Contracts that require estimates at completion using the percentage-of-completion method accounted for approximately 35%36% and 37%38% of our revenuesrevenue for the threenine months ended June 30,December 29, 2017 and July 1,December 30, 2016, respectively. When changes in estimates of contract sales or costs occur, we make revisions to EACs and reflect changes in the results of operations in the period in which the facts that give rise to the revision become known by management. See Note 1—Description of the Business, Basis of Presentation and Recent Accounting Pronouncements to our unaudited Consolidated and Condensed Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q for additional information.
Our U.S. government contracts generally contain FAR provisions that enable the customer to terminate a contract for default or for the convenience of the government. At June 30,December 29, 2017, we did not have any federal contract terminations in process that would have a material effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Assumptions related to purchase accounting and goodwill
When we acquire a controlling financial interest through a business combination, we use the acquisition method of accounting to allocate the purchase consideration to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, which are recorded at fair value. Any excess of purchase consideration over the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recognized as goodwill.
Acquisition-related costs are recognized separately from the business combination and are expensed as incurred. The results of operations of acquired businesses are included in our financial statements from the acquisition date. See Note 4—Acquisitions and Note 5—Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets to our unaudited Consolidated and Condensed Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q for further information.
Income tax provision and deferred tax assets and liabilities
As discussed above in “Results of Operations- Income Taxes”, the Company’s results for the third quarter of fiscal year 2018 were significantly affected by the recently enacted Tax Act. Significant assumptions and estimates were required by us to determine the provisional amounts of our tax provision, deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities. For certain tax effects, we used the guidance provided by the SEC in Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB 118”). See Note 1—Description of the Business, Basis of Presentation and Recent Accounting Pronouncements and Note 8—Income Taxes for additional information.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Market risk is the potential loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and market prices such as interest rates or foreign currency exchange rates. We actively monitor these exposures and manage such risks through our regular operating and financing activities or the use of derivative financial instruments.
Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to our outstanding debt and cash equivalents. As of June 30,December 29, 2017 and March 31, 2017, we had $194$80 million and $126 million, respectively, in cash and cash equivalents. The interest expense associated with our term loans and any loans under our revolving credit facility will vary with market rates.
Our exposureoutstanding debt facilities include variable interest rate terms and expose us to financial risk from changes in market interest rates related to our outstanding debt will impact our senior secured loan facilities.rates. Pursuant to our interest rate risk management strategies, we use interest rate cash flow hedges to add stability to our incurrence of interest expense and to manage our exposure related to interest rate movements (See Note 3—Derivative Instruments to our unaudited Consolidated and Condensed Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q for further discussion). Net of the benefit from our interest-rate derivatives, a hypothetical 1% increase in interest rates would have increased the interest expense incurred under our senior secured loancredit facilities by approximately $15.4$15 million for the first quarternine months of fiscal year 2018, and likewise decreased our net income and cash flows.
The return on our cash and cash equivalents balance as of June 30,December 29, 2017 and April 1, 2016March 31, 2017 was less than 1%; thus, although investment interest rates may continue to decline in the future, the corresponding impact to our interest income, and likewise to our income and cash flow, would not be material.
Our reporting currency is the U.S. dollar (“USD”); however, our. Our foreign business operations, however, which predominantly provide business processing support services to our U.S. government customers, incur expenses denominated in foreign, local currencies. The expenses associated with providing our business processing services are invoiced either in USD


36

based upon the current USD to local currency exchange rates, or in the foreign, local currency. Such expenses expose us to exchange rate fluctuations between USD and the local currency. Historically, we have mitigated the volatility relating to these exposures, in part, through the identification of potential foreign currency exposures through the contract bidding and forecasting process that would expand or modify our services. We have also been able to mitigate a portion of foreign currency risk through earnings by matching revenue earned in the same local currency as the expense incurred. In the first


41

quarter of fiscal year 2018, we also began to hedge certain of these exposures using forward currency contracts. However, These mitigation strategies, however, may not be effective to offset currency exchange rate fluctuations (including possible devaluations) in currency exchange rates may occur or there may be the imposition of limitations on the conversion of foreign currencies into our reporting currency.devaluations). We estimate that aan adverse change of 1% increase in exchange rates would have increased our cost of services denominated in foreign currencies by $0.2$0.6 million in the threenine months ended June 30,December 29, 2017.
We have not entered into any hedging transactions for speculative or trading purposes.
