DynCorp International Inc. Reports Third Quarter Fiscal Year 2010 Financial Results

	•		Revenue of $915.0 million, a 15.5% increase over Q3 FY09

	•		Diluted earnings per share of $0.36, a 5.9% increase over Q3 FY09

	•		EBITDA of $55.4 million, a 2.9% decrease from Q3 FY09

	•		Ending cash balance of $67.1 million and outstanding debt of $552.1 million versus $599.9 million at the beginning of the fiscal year

Falls Church, Va. — February 3, 2010 —DynCorp International Inc. (NYSE: DCP), a provider of specialized mission-critical services to civilian and military government agencies, today reports financial results for its third quarter of fiscal year 2010 ended January 1, 2010.

“Solid program performance resulted in record revenue in the third quarter and tightened full year revenue guidance,” said William L. Ballhaus, DynCorp International’s Chief Executive Officer. “Delays in recognizing LOGCAP IV award fee and acquisition related expenses resulted in lower Q3 profitability. While we expect to recover the LOGCAP award fee next year, these items along with an unexpected slow down of our police training program led to reduced full year earnings guidance. With a healthy backlog and pipeline, and two recent acquisitions opening up new channels to market, we are well positioned for continued growth and value creation supporting defense, diplomacy, and development initiatives around the globe.”

Third Quarter Fiscal Year 2010 Operational Highlights

	•		Closed the acquisition of Phoenix Consulting Group Inc.

	•		Continued ramp-up of the Afghanistan task order under the LOGCAP IV contract

	•		Earned second consecutive 100% award fee score on the INSCOM program by our Global Linguist Solutions (GLS) joint venture

	•		Achieved full operational capability on the Department of State aviation operations program in Iraq

Third Quarter Fiscal Year 2010 Results

Revenue for the third quarter of fiscal year 2010 grew by 15.5% to $915.0 million from third quarter fiscal year 2009 revenue of $792.3 million as a result of the ramp-up of the LOGCAP IV program and a $5.2 million contribution from the recently acquired Phoenix Consulting Group, Inc. (Phoenix), partially offset by reductions in our GLS segment and our Contract Field Teams (CFT) program.

Operating income decreased for the recently completed quarter to $49.4 million or 5.4% of revenue as compared to $51.6 million or 6.5% of revenue in the third quarter of 2009 driven by lower gross profit on our Civilian Police program and a decline, due to competitive pricing, on our CFT program. Partially offsetting these declines was growth from the LOGCAP IV program and the wind down of construction projects in our Infrastructure SBA for which losses were recognized in fiscal year 2009. Also reducing operating income was severance related expenses of $0.7 million and acquisition related expenses of $1.7 million associated with our acquisition of Phoenix in October 2009.

Diluted earnings per share increased for the third quarter of fiscal year 2010 to $0.36, up $0.02, or 5.9%. The increase was the result of lower operating income offset by lower interest and taxes and fewer weighted average shares outstanding, in the current quarter, as compared to the third quarter of fiscal year 2009.

EBITDA for the third quarter of fiscal year 2010 decreased by 2.9% to $55.4 million from $57.0 million for the third quarter of fiscal year 2009.

Year-to-Date Results

Revenue for the first nine months of fiscal year 2010 increased by 10.2% to $2,521.5 million from $2,288.3 million for the first nine months of fiscal year 2009. Revenue growth was driven by higher fill rate and award fee performance on GLS and the ramp-up of the LOGCAP IV program, partially offset by the wind down of our Afghanistan construction projects and the completion of certain task orders under our CFT program.

Operating income for the first nine months of fiscal year 2010 was $154.4 million or 6.1% of revenue as compared to $138.2 million or 6.0% of revenue in the same period last year. The increase in operating income resulted from growth on the LOGCAP IV program, 100% award fee score on the INSCOM program and the wind down of construction projects in our Infrastructure SBA for which losses were recognized in fiscal year 2009. Also contributing to the comparative increase in operating income was severance related costs incurred in the first quarter of fiscal year 2009.

Diluted earnings per share increased for the first nine months of fiscal year 2010 to $1.09, up $0.21, or 23.9%. The increase was driven by improved operational results and lower debt related costs, offset by an increase in noncontrolling interests. Diluted earnings per share also benefited from fewer weighted average shares outstanding, in the current period, as compared to the first nine months of fiscal year 2009.

EBITDA for the first nine months of fiscal year 2010 increased by 7.1% to $172.4 million from $161.0 million for the first nine months of fiscal year 2009.

Operating cash flow for the first nine months of fiscal year 2010 was $15.6 million, compared to $70.2 million for the first nine months of fiscal year 2009. The decrease in operating cash flow was due to an increase in working capital, primarily from accounts receivable and restricted cash increases. Days sales outstanding was 76 days at the end of the third quarter of fiscal year 2010, above our expectation of the high 60s to low 70s on an ongoing basis.

We ended the quarter with $67.1 million of unrestricted cash. Net debt was $485.0 million as of January 1, 2010, an increase of $85 million as compared to the end of fiscal year 2009 due to cash used for the Phoenix acquisition and the purchase of helicopters. Total debt was $552.1 million at January 1, 2010, a reduction of $48 million from April 3, 2009.

Backlog as of January 1, 2010 was $6.1 billion as compared to $6.3 billion as of April 3, 2009, primarily due to progress on the INSCOM contract offset by task orders under LOGCAP IV. Included in total backlog are $2.5 billion from GLS and $0.4 billion from LOGCAP IV. Funded backlog increased from $1.4 billion at the end of fiscal year 2009 to $1.7 billion at the end of the third quarter of fiscal year 2010 resulting in a book-to-bill ratio of 0.87 for the third quarter and 1.10 for the first nine months of the fiscal year. The growth in funded backlog is a positive indication of continued strong demand for our services over the next several quarters.

Fiscal Year 2010 Guidance

We revise our previously provided revenue, diluted earnings per share and EBITDA guidance for our fiscal year ending April 2, 2010. The revenue guidance is tightened to a range of $3,440 to $3,500 million primarily as a result of the continued ramp-up and expansion of work under the LOGCAP IV contract and slower than anticipated reductions under the INSCOM program. The diluted earnings per share guidance has been revised to a range of $1.33 to $1.45 driven by LOGCAP IV Afghanistan award fee recognition being delayed until fiscal year 2011, lower than expected revenue on CIVPOL, and severance and acquisition related expenses. Correspondingly, EBITDA guidance has been adjusted to $220 million to $230 million.


FY 2010
Revenue		$3,440 — $3,500 million
Diluted earnings per share		$1.33 — $1.45
EBITDA		$220 — $230 million

Total backlog⁽²⁾	$	6,137	$	6,298


Estimated remaining contract value⁽³⁾	$	9,882	$	8,415


⁽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 January 1, 2010 and April 3, 2009, the backlog related to GLS was $2.5 billion and $3.1 billion, respectively, and is included in unfunded backlog in the table above.

⁽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.
