DynCorp International Inc. Announces Fiscal 2007
Third Quarter Results
· EBITDA increased 30.8 percent over prior year third quarter
· Cash earnings per share increased 37.9 percent to $0.40 per share over the comparable period in 2006

Falls Church, VA — February 7, 2007 — DynCorp International Inc. (NYSE: DCP), a provider of specialized mission-critical technical services to civilian and military government agencies, today announced results for its fiscal 2007 third quarter.
Third Quarter Results
Revenue for the 2007 third quarter was $517.5 million, down 6.5 percent from revenue for the 2006 third quarter. Government Services’ — formerly referred to as the International Technical Services segment — revenue for the third quarter decreased 9.4 percent over the comparable period in 2006. The lower Government Services’ revenue was attributable to (1) the conclusion of protective services previously provided in Israel, Haiti, Afghanistan and central Iraq, (2) ending services in support of the Hurricane Katrina relief effort, and (3) completion of helicopter refurbishment and upgrades in support of U.S. drug eradication efforts in Afghanistan. Revenue from the Maintenance and Technical Support Services — formerly referred to as the Field Technical Services segment — increased 0.1 percent from the 2006 third quarter.
Operating income for the 2007 third quarter increased 37.2 percent to $32.3 million from the 2006 third quarter. Operating margin for the 2007 third quarter was 6.2 percent, compared to operating margin of 4.2 percent in the 2006 third quarter. Operating margin increased 2.0 percent of revenue primarily due to (1) improved performance on the Company’s Civilian Police program, (2) improved performance and changes to the Company’s International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Air-Wing contract, (3) increased level of effort on the Company’s Contract Field Teams program, and (4) a contract modification for construction in Afghanistan.
Net income for the 2007 third quarter was $11.6 million, or $0.20 per share, compared to net income of $1.6 million, or $0.05 per share, for the comparable period in fiscal 2006. The increase in 2007 third quarter net income was due to improved operating margins and lower interest expense resulting from redemption of the Company’s preferred stock during the first quarter of fiscal 2007.
Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) for the 2007 third quarter increased to $46.4 million, or 9.0 percent of revenue, from $35.3 million, or 6.4 percent of revenue, for the comparable period in fiscal 2006. Cash earnings per share for the 2007 third quarter, which adds back special items, amortization and non-cash equity-based compensation expense, improved 37.9 percent to $0.40 per share from the comparable period in fiscal 2006.
Year-to-Date Results
Revenue for the first nine months of fiscal 2007 was $1,529.9 million, up 7.9 percent, as compared to revenue for the first nine months of fiscal 2006. The Company’s Government Services segment generated revenue of $1,001.9 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2007, growing 11.8 percent over the comparable period in fiscal 2006. Government Services’ revenue growth resulted primarily from drug eradication efforts in South America, aviation support for drug eradication efforts in Afghanistan, increased Police Advisors in Iraq and Afghanistan, and additional support to the U.S. Department of State in Liberia and Sudan under the Africa Peacekeeping program. The Company’s Maintenance and Technical Support Services segment revenue increased 1.2 percent to $528.0 million as compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2006.
Operating income for the first nine months of fiscal 2007 was $70.6 million, an 11.1 percent increase over the comparable period in fiscal 2006. Operating margin for the first nine months of fiscal 2007 was 4.6 percent, compared to 4.5 percent for the first nine months of fiscal 2006. The increased operating income and operating margin reflect (1) strong performance from fixed price contracts such as the Civilian Police and International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Air-Wing contracts, (2) increased level of effort on the Company’s Contract Field Teams contract, and (3) the contract modification for construction in Afghanistan.
Net income for the first nine months of fiscal 2007 was $8.1 million, resulting in earnings per share of $0.15, compared to net income of $1.5 million and earnings per share of $0.05 for the first nine months of fiscal 2006. Net income includes one-time expenses related to the Company’s initial public offering (IPO) on May 4, 2006. After adjusting for IPO-related expense items and executive severance costs, pro forma net income for the first nine months of fiscal 2007 was $22.3 million, and pro forma earnings per share were $0.39.
Adjusted EBITDA for the first nine months of fiscal 2007 improved to $115.6 million, or 7.6 percent of revenue, compared to adjusted EBITDA of $100.5 million, or 7.1 percent of revenue, for the first nine months of fiscal 2006. For the first nine months of fiscal 2007, cash earnings per share, which adds to pro forma earnings per share amortization and non-cash equity-based compensation expense, improved 17.3 percent to $0.95 per share.
During the first nine months of fiscal 2007, the Company generated operating cash flow of $45.8 million, which was partially offset by capital expenditures and cash used in connection with the
Company’s IPO. Operating cash flow of $45.8 million decreased from operating cash flow of $54.2 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2006. The prior year’s higher operating cash flow resulted from unusually high accounts receivable collections. On December 29, 2006, the Company’s days sales outstanding were 77.0, as compared to 63.6 on December 30, 2005.
Backlog as of December 29, 2006 was $5.8 billion, including $1.2 billion in funded backlog and $4.6 billion in unfunded backlog. Estimated remaining contract value was $8.9 billion as of December 29, 2006. Both backlog and estimated remaining contract value has increased during fiscal 2007 by $3.2 billion. During the third quarter 2007, the U.S. Army awarded a contract to provide translation and interpretation services in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom to Global Linguist Solutions, LLC, a joint venture in which the Company has a 51 percent interest. This contract award contributed $3.3 billion to backlog and estimated contract value. The incumbent for this program has protested the award of the contract to Global Linguist Solutions LLC.
Fiscal 2007 Guidance
The Company provides the following guidance for its fiscal year ending March 30, 2007, based on its current backlog and management’s estimate of future contract awards. Revenue has been reduced from a range of $2,100 - $2,200 million to a range of $2,050 - $2,100 million to reflect delays in the timing of new business. Diluted earnings per share have been increased from $0.43 per share to $0.45 per share to reflect lower non-cash equity compensation and severance expense.
