Falls Church, Va. — June 3, 2009 —DynCorp International Inc. (NYSE: DCP), a provider of specialized mission-critical services to civilian and military government agencies, today reports strong fiscal 2009 fourth quarter and fiscal 2009 full year financial results.

“DynCorp International ended fiscal year 2009 on a strong note, with fourth quarter revenue and operating income up 41.9% and 116.2%, respectively, over last year, capping a record year in revenue, adjusted EBITDA and cash generation” said William L. Ballhaus, CEO of DynCorp International. “Moreover, our disciplined approach to working capital management enabled us to reduce DSO to 60 days, resulting in operating cash flow of $141 million for the full year. Given our strong momentum coming out of fiscal year 2009 and our attractive market positions in platform support and the application of smart power, we are looking forward to continued robust growth of our business in fiscal year 2010.”

DynCorp International remains committed to creating and enhancing shareholder value through a combination of strong cash flow generation and revenue growth. As a premier contract services provider to the U.S. Government, we believe that the company enters fiscal year 2010 with significant momentum reinforcing our expectations for double-digit growth in EPS in fiscal year 2010.

Fiscal 2009 Fourth Quarter Results

Revenue for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2009 increased $239.9 million, or 41.9%, to $812.8 million, compared to revenue of $572.9 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008. The increase was the result of growth in all three of the company’s operating segments. Operating income was $49.8 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2009 compared to $23.0 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008. Diluted earnings per share were $0.34 for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2009 compared to $0.17 for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008. Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was $57.5 million, an increase of 45.3% from the corresponding quarter of fiscal year 2008.

Driving the 41.9% revenue increase was the Army’s Intelligence and Security Command (INSCOM) contract under which the Company’s majority owned joint venture, Global Linguist Solutions (GLS), provides linguists to the Department of Defense. In addition to the growth from the INSCOM contract, the balance of the business generated revenue growth of 9.3% in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2009, as compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008. This growth was primarily from existing contracts for Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicle support, Life Cycle Contract Support (LCCS) services, Civilian Police (CIVPOL) training and U.S. Army support in the Philippines, partially offset by reductions on Africa Peacekeeping and the U.S. Department of State Air Wing programs.

Adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, loss on extinguishment of debt, and a portion of other expense related to interest rate swap losses, adjusted for the impact of unrecoverable severance related expenses) increased 45.3% to $57.5 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2009, compared to $39.6 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008. The increase was driven by a combination of robust revenue growth, including the INSCOM contract, higher margins on our MRAP program, and from the benefit of selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense efficiencies implemented earlier in the fiscal year. These increases were partially offset by an additional provision for estimated contract losses in Afghanistan construction. Adjusted EBITDA margin for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2009 was 7.1% of revenue compared to 6.9% for the comparable period in fiscal year 2008. This margin increase was primarily the result of higher costs in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008 from items such as legal matters, offset by an increasing percentage of the Company’s revenue being generated by cost type contracts, changes in portions of the CIVPOL contract, and the structure of the GLS joint venture.

Fiscal 2009 Full Year Results

Revenue for fiscal year 2009 increased by $961.3 million, or 44.9%, to $3.1 billion, compared to revenue of $2.1 billion for fiscal year 2008. Operating income for fiscal year 2009 increased 56.7% to $188.0 million, compared to operating income of $120.0 million in fiscal year 2008. Diluted earnings per share were $1.22 for fiscal year 2009 compared to $0.84 for fiscal year 2008.

The revenue increase resulted from growth across all three business segments, which generated higher revenue for fiscal year 2009 compared to fiscal year 2008. The main driver of the 44.9% revenue increase was strong performance by the Company’s GLS subsidiary under the Army’s INSCOM contract. In addition to growth from the INSCOM contract, the balance of the business generated revenue growth of 12.0% in fiscal year 2009 compared to fiscal year 2008. This growth came primarily from existing contracts such as MRAP, CIVPOL, LCCS, Contract Field Teams, Afghanistan construction and U.S. Army support in the Philippines, with partial offsets coming from reductions on Africa Peacekeeping and Air Wing programs.

Adjusted EBITDA increased 26.6% to $221.3 million for fiscal year 2009, compared to $174.8 million for fiscal year 2008. This increase was driven principally by a combination of strong revenue growth, higher margins on the MRAP program, growth and awards fees from the INSCOM contract, and SG&A expense efficiencies implemented during the fiscal year. These increases were partially offset by a provision for estimated contract losses and the revision of estimated contract margins associated with Afghanistan construction. Adjusted EBITDA margin for fiscal year 2009 was 7.1% of revenue compared to 8.2% for fiscal year 2008. This margin reduction was primarily the result of the change in contract mix with the addition of the INSCOM contract, the structure of the GLS joint venture and changes in portions of the CIVPOL contract increasing our percentage of revenue from cost type contracts from 30% in fiscal year 2008 to 49% for fiscal year 2009.

Operating cash flow increased $98.5 million to $140.9 million in fiscal year 2009, compared to $42.4 million in fiscal year 2008. The increase was driven by higher cash generated from operations from our continued profitability growth and more effective working capital management, especially in regards to accounts receivable. Days sales outstanding (DSO) was 60 days at the end of fiscal year 2009, compared to 73 days at the end of fiscal year 2008.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2009 we invested approximately $24.0 million in the repurchase of our common stock and senior subordinated notes. With this investment, we ended fiscal year 2009 with unrestricted cash in excess of $200 million. Net debt, which is total debt less cash and cash equivalents, was $399.7 million on April 3, 2009, a reduction of $108.1 million on a year-over-year basis.

Backlog increased 5.7% to $6.3 billion as of April 3, 2009. The backlog increase is primarily due to the successful recompete of the War Reserve Materiel contract and task orders under the CIVPOL contract.

⁽¹⁾		Includes net gain/loss from early extinguishment of debt and interest rate swap losses recorded in Other, net on our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income.

⁽²⁾		Amount includes certain depreciation and amortization amounts which are classified as cost of services on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

⁽³⁾		We define EBITDA as GAAP net income adjusted for interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, loss on extinguishment of debt, and a portion of other expense related to interest rate swap losses. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating operating performance and are regularly used by security analysts, institutional investors and other interested parties in reviewing the Company.

⁽⁵⁾		There were no adjustments to EBITDA in fiscal year 2008. As a result, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are the same for those periods.

⁽⁶⁾		Basic EPS, excluding certain items, is included to provide clarity regarding the impact of items of a non -recurring and/or non-operational nature. This additional information allows investors to make comparisons to periods in which similar events did not occur. Basic EPS, excluding certain items, does not represent basic EPS, as basic EPS is defined under GAAP, and should not be considered as an alternative to basic EPS or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP. Basic EPS, excluding certain items, as presented in this press release is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

⁽⁷⁾		Represents the EPS impact from the expensed deferred financing fees associated with the extinguishment of our pre-existing senior secured credit facility net of gains associated with our repurchase of senior subordinated notes on the open market. The impact of this adjustment on the fourth quarter was less than one penny per share.

⁽⁸⁾		Fiscal year 2009 was a 53 week period from March 29, 2008 to April 3, 2009. Fiscal year 2008 was a 52 week period from March 31, 2007 to March 28, 2008.

Total backlog⁽²⁾	$	6,298	$	5,961


Estimated remaining contract value⁽³⁾	$	8,415	$	7,485


⁽¹⁾		Backlog consists of funded and unfunded amounts under contracts. Funded backlog is equal to the amounts actually appropriated by a customer for payment of goods and services less actual revenue recognized as of the measurement date under that appropriation. Unfunded backlog is the actual dollar value of unexercised priced contract options and the unfunded portion of exercised contract options. Most of our U.S. government contracts allow the customer the option to extend the period of performance of a contract for a period of one or more years. These priced options may or may not be exercised at the sole discretion of the customer. Historically, it has been our experience that the customer has typically exercised contract options.

⁽²⁾		As of April 3, 2009 and March 28, 2008, the backlog related to GLS was $3.1 billion and $3.5 billion, respectively.

⁽³⁾		Estimated remaining contract value represents total backlog plus management’s estimate of future revenue under IDIQ contracts for task or delivery orders that have not been awarded. Future revenue represents management’s estimate of revenue that will be recognized from the end of current task orders until the end of the IDIQ contract term and is based on our experience and performance under our existing contracts and management judgments and estimates with respect to future task or delivery order awards. Although we believe our estimates are reasonable, there can be no assurance that our existing contracts will result in actual revenue in any particular period or at all. Our estimated remaining contract value could vary or even change significantly depending upon various factors including government policies, government budgets and appropriations, the accuracy of our estimates of work to be performed under time and material contracts and whether we successfully compete with any multiple bidders in IDIQ contracts.
