NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Amounts in tables in thousands, except share and per share data or unless otherwise noted)

December 31, 2012

1. BUSINESS OVERVIEW

Organization

Booz Allen Hamilton Holding Corporation, including its wholly owned subsidiaries, or Holding or the Company, is an affiliate of The Carlyle Group, or Carlyle, and was incorporated in Delaware in May 2008. The Company provides management and technology consulting services primarily to the U.S. government and its agencies in the defense, intelligence, and civil markets. The Company offers clients functional knowledge spanning strategy and organization, analytics, technology, engineering, and operations, which it combines with specialized expertise in clients’ mission and domain areas to help solve critical problems. The Company reports operating results and financial data in one operating segment. The Company is headquartered in McLean, Virginia, with approximately 24,800 employees as of December 31, 2012.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The Company prepared the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, or Quarterly Report, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP, for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. As a result, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted. The Company followed the accounting policies used and disclosed in the consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 30, 2012, or Annual Report, and policies stated within this Form 10-Q. The Company’s fiscal year ends on March 31 and unless otherwise noted, references to fiscal year or fiscal are for fiscal years ended March 31.

The interim financial information in this Quarterly Report reflects all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments except as otherwise disclosed, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s results of operations for the interim periods. The results of operations for the nine months ended December 31, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full fiscal year.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Areas of the financial statements where estimates may have the most significant effect include allowance for doubtful accounts, contractual and regulatory reserves, valuation and lives of tangible and intangible assets, impairment of long-lived assets, accrued liabilities, revenue recognition, bonus and other incentive compensation, stock-based compensation, realization of deferred tax assets, provisions for income taxes, and postretirement obligations. Actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially from management's estimates.

Business Combinations and Goodwill

The Company has engaged in business acquisition activity. The accounting for business combinations requires management to make judgments and estimates of the fair value of assets acquired, including the identification and valuation of intangible assets, as well as liabilities and contingencies assumed. Such judgments and estimates directly impact the amount of goodwill recognized in connection with each acquisition, as goodwill presents the excess of the purchase price of an acquired business over the fair value of its net tangible and identifiable intangible assets.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB during the nine months ended December 31, 2012, and through the filing date did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company's present or historical condensed consolidated financial statements.

3. EARNINGS PER SHARE

The Company computes basic and diluted earnings per share amounts based on net income for the periods presented. The Company uses the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period to calculate basic earnings per share, or EPS. Diluted EPS adjusts the weighted average number of shares outstanding to include the dilutive effect of outstanding common stock options and other stock-based awards.

The Company currently has outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock, Class B Non-Voting Common Stock, Class C Restricted Common Stock, and Class E Special Voting Common Stock. Class E Special Voting Common Stock shares are not included in the calculation of EPS as these shares represent voting rights only and are not entitled to participate in dividends or other distributions. Unvested Class A Restricted Common Stock and unvested Class C Restricted Common Stock holders are entitled to participate in dividends or other distributions. These unvested shares participated in the Company's dividends declared and paid in the first, second and third quarters of fiscal 2013, and as such, EPS is calculated using the two-class method, whereby earnings are reduced by distributed and undistributed earnings, if available, that the restricted shareholders may participate in. No such dividends were paid in the first, second and third quarters of fiscal 2012, as such EPS is calculated using the treasury stock method. A reconciliation of the income used to compute basic and diluted EPS for the periods presented are as follows:



	Three Months Ended December 31,				Nine Months Ended December 31,
	2012		2011		2012		2011
Earnings for basic computations (a)	$	55,709	$	62,860	$	155,285	$	189,328
Weighted-average Class A Common Stock outstanding	132,125,447		127,108,438		129,902,993		125,319,720
Weighted-average Class B Non-Voting Common Stock outstanding	1,932,004		2,711,157		2,281,000		2,857,308
Weighted-average Class C Restricted Common Stock outstanding	1,215,102		1,660,262		1,311,015		1,796,304
Total weighted-average common shares outstanding for basic computations	135,272,553		131,479,857		133,495,008		129,973,332
Earnings for diluted computations (a)	$	55,734	$	62,860	$	155,285	$	189,328
Dilutive stock options and restricted stock	9,790,962		10,319,868		10,621,049		11,023,279
Average number of common shares outstanding for diluted computations	145,063,515		141,799,725		144,116,057		140,996,611
Earnings per common share
Basic	$	0.41	$	0.48	$	1.16	$	1.46
Diluted	$	0.38	$	0.44	$	1.08	$	1.34

(a) During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2012 approximately 1.2 million participating securities were paid dividends totaling $104,000 and $9.0 million respectively. Additionally, for the three months ended December 31, 2012 there was undistributed earnings of $371,000 and $349,000 allocated to the participating class of securities in basic and diluted earnings per share, respectively. The allocated earnings and the dividends paid for the three months ended December 31, 2012 comprise the difference from net income presented on the condensed consolidated statements of operations while only the dividends paid comprise the difference in net income for the nine months ended December 31, 2012 as there were no excess undistributed earnings.

In the EPS calculation for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2012, 782,000 and 328,000 options, respectively, were not included in the EPS calculation as their impact was anti-dilutive. For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2011, 2.4 million options were not included in the EPS calculation as their impact was anti-dilutive.

4. ACQUISITIONS

On November 30, 2012 Booz Allen Hamilton Engineering Holding Co., LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, acquired the Defense Systems Engineering and Support, or DSES, division of ARINC Incorporated, or ARINC, by acquiring 100% of the membership interests of ARINC Engineering Services, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of ARINC that

owns DSES. DSES is a provider of advanced aviation and maritime engineering, advanced weapons modernization and sustainment, and advanced systems engineering and integration. DSES has approximately 900 employees. The acquisition aligns with the Company's strategic initiatives to expand existing engineering capabilities and defense market position.

The acquisition of DSES was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting which requires the total purchase price consideration to be allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on estimates of fair value. The Company paid approximately $155.1 million in cash to ARINC for DSES on November 30, 2012, which includes a preliminary purchase price per the agreement of $154.0 million and an estimated $1.1 million as a preliminary working capital adjustment. Under the terms of the purchase agreement, ARINC has ninety days after the closing date to provide DSES' final balance sheet and net working capital as of the closing date. The Company used preliminary information obtained in connection with the acquisition to complete the purchase price allocations related to the acquisition. The Company expects to recover an estimated $2.8 million from ARINC as the preliminary net working capital is lower than that paid. Therefore the Company has accounted for this return of consideration and the purchase price allocation was adjusted to assume a purchase price of $152.2 million. The final purchase price allocations will be completed after the information has been finalized and agreed upon by both parties of the transaction. Preliminary transaction costs were approximately $4.0 million, which were recorded as general and administrative expense as incurred.

The following table represents the preliminary purchase price allocations of DSES' assets and liabilities at fair value:



Current assets	75,669
Current liabilities	(39,504	)
Other tangible assets	3,683
Other liabilities	(300	)
Goodwill	86,180
Identifiable intangible assets	26,500

The goodwill of $86.2 million is largely attributed to the specialized workforce and the expected synergies between the Company and DSES. Substantially all of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The value attributed to the identifiable intangible assets of $26.5 million is expected to be amortized over the estimated useful life of 7 years.

Pursuant to the purchase agreement, the Company entered into a transition services agreement, or TSA, with ARINC. The TSA requires ARINC to provide certain support services to the Company for up to 12 months following November 30, 2012. Expenses incurred by the Company under the TSA are not material to the Company's consolidated results of operations.

On December 31, 2012 the Company closed an acquisition of an immaterial engineering services company that will also be accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting.

Proforma results of operations for these acquisitions are not presented because neither are material to the Company's consolidated results of operations.

5. GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Goodwill

As of December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2012, goodwill was $1,276.6 million and $1,188.0 million, respectively. The increase in the carrying amount of goodwill is attributable to the Company's acquisitions as discussed in Note 4.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets consisted of the following:



	As of December 31, 2012								As of March 31, 2012
	Gross Carrying Value		Additions		Accumulated Amortization		Net Carrying Value		Gross Carrying Value		Accumulated Amortization		Net Carrying Value

The addition to the carrying amount of contract backlog is attributable to the Company's acquisitions as discussed in Note 4. Intangible assets are primarily amortized on an accelerated basis over periods ranging from 5 years to 9 years. The weighted-average remaining period of amortization for all contract backlog is 5.6 years. The remaining balance for favorable leases will be fully amortized as of March 31, 2013.

Amortization expense for the three months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 was $3.7 million and $4.1 million, respectively, and $9.9 million and $12.3 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Expected amortization expense for intangible assets for the remainder of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2013, and each of the fiscal years thereafter is as follows:



Fiscal Year Ending March 31,	Amount
2013 (three months)	$	4,821
2014	14,915

On July 31, 2012, the Company consummated a recapitalization transaction, or Recapitalization Transaction, which included the refinancing and termination of the Company's existing senior secured credit agreement with the proceeds of the borrowings under the Company's new senior secured credit agreement, or Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement provided the Company with a $725.0 million Term Loan A tranche and a $1,025.0 million Term Loan B tranche, and a $500.0 million revolving credit facility, with a sublimit for letters of credit of $100.0 million. The outstanding obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by a security interest in substantially all of the assets of the Company, subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Credit Agreement and related documentation.

The Credit Agreement requires quarterly principal payments of 1.25% of the stated principal amount of Tranche A Loans, with annual incremental increases to 1.875%, 2.50%, 3.125%, and 13.0%, prior to the Tranche A Loans' maturity date of December 31, 2017, and 0.25% of the stated principal amount of Tranche B Loans, with the remaining balance payable on the Tranche B Loans' maturity date of July 31, 2019. The revolving credit facility matures on December 31, 2017, at which time any outstanding principal balance is due in full. As of December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2012, there were no amounts outstanding on the revolving credit facility.

The interest rate on borrowings under Tranche A is LIBOR plus 2.75%, and will range from 2.00% to 2.75% based on the Company's total leverage ratio. The interest rate on borrowings under Tranche B is LIBOR plus 3.5% with a 1% floor. The revolving credit facility margin and commitment fee are subject to the leveraged based pricing grid, as set forth in the Credit Agreement.

Prior to the Recapitalization Transaction, the Company maintained a senior secured credit agreement, as amended, with a syndicate of lenders. The senior secured credit agreement, as amended, provided for $1.0 billion in term loans ($500.0 million of Tranche A Loans and $500.0 million of Tranche B Loans) and a $275.0 million revolving credit facility. The loans under the senior secured credit agreement, as amended, were secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets.

The total outstanding debt balance is recorded in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, net of unamortized discount of $12.0 million and $4.6 million as of December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2012, respectively.

Dividends

On May 29, 2012, our Board of Directors authorized and declared a regular quarterly cash dividend in the amount of $0.09 per share. In addition, the Board of Directors declared a special cash dividend of $1.50 per share. Both the quarterly and special dividend were paid on June 29, 2012 to stockholders of record on June 11, 2012. The Compensation Committee, as the Administrator of the Officers' Rollover Stock Plan and the EIP, made a required adjustment to the outstanding options under each plan by granting holders of the Rollover Options a cash payment equal to the amount of the special dividend on the options' mandatory exercise date and by granting the holders of EIP options a dividend equivalent equal to the special dividend and payable on June 29, 2012 or the vesting of the EIP option, whichever is later.

On July 30, 2012, our Board of Directors authorized and declared a special cash dividend of $6.50 per share and a regular quarterly cash dividend in the amount of $0.09 per share. The dividends were accounted for on July 31, 2012, the declaration date, by reducing retained earnings to zero with the remainder being recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital. The dividends were paid on August 31, 2012 to stockholders of record on August 13, 2012 for the special cash dividend and August 14, 2012 for the regular quarterly cash dividend. The Board of Directors, as the Administrator of the Officers' Rollover Stock Plan and the EIP, made a determination to adjust the outstanding options under each plan.

Holders of the Rollover Options received a cash payment equal to the amount of the special dividend on the options' mandatory exercise date. On August 31, 2012 and December 31, 2012, Rollover Options holders received a dividend equivalent payment of $9.0 million and $12.0 million, respectively, related to the special dividends. Holders of EIP options with a pre-dividend exercise price less than $11.00 per share received a dividend equivalent equal to the amount of the special dividend payable on August 31, 2012 or the vesting of the EIP option, whichever is later. On August 31, 2012, vested outstanding EIP options received a dividend equivalent payment of $28.7 million related to the special dividends. All other EIP options were adjusted, based on authorization from the Board of Directors, by reducing the exercise price by $6.36 which is equal to the

difference between the pre-dividend closing fair market value of our Class A Common Stock and the post-dividend opening fair market value of our Class A Common Stock as noted on the New York Stock Exchange. Payment of the dividend equivalents and adjustments to option exercise prices were accounted for as modifications resulting in incremental benefit to the option holders resulting in additional compensation expense of $3.8 million. Total compensation expense recorded in conjunction with the payment of the dividend equivalent to holders of unvested EIP options for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2012 was $117,000 and $2.3 million, respectively. Future compensation cost related to payment of the dividend equivalents to holders of EIP options not yet recognized in the statement of operations is $1.5 million and is expected to be recognized over 4.5 years.

On October 29, 2012, our Board of Directors authorized and declared a regular quarterly cash dividend in the amount of $0.09 per share. The quarterly dividend was paid on November 30, 2012 to stockholders of record on November 13, 2012.

The total payout of the dividend and the dividend equivalents have been presented as a financing activity within the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

	December 31, 2012						March 31, 2012
	EIP Options		Rollover Options		Total		EIP Options		Rollover Options		Total

As of March 31, 2012, there was a similar unrecognized liability of $1.6 million related to Rollover Options.

13. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The fair value of the Company's cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximates its carrying value at December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2012 because of the short-term nature of these amounts. The fair value of the Company's debt instruments approximates its carrying value at December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2012. The fair value of debt is determined based on interest rates available for debt with terms and maturities similar to the Company's existing debt arrangements.

14. RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Company is an affiliate of Carlyle, and from time to time, and in the ordinary course of business: (1) other Carlyle portfolio companies engage the Company as a subcontractor or service provider, and (2) the Company engages other Carlyle portfolio companies as subcontractors or service providers. Revenue and cost associated with these related parties for the three months ended December 31, 2012 were $78,000 and $58,000, respectively, and $423,000 and $386,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 2012, respectively. Revenue and cost associated with these related parties for the three months ended December 31, 2011 were $376,000 and $341,000, respectively, and $1.3 million and $1.2 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2011, respectively.

On July 31, 2008, the Company entered into a management agreement, or Management Agreement, with TC Group V US, L.L.C., or TC Group, a company affiliated with Carlyle. In accordance with the Management Agreement, TC Group provides the Company with advisory, consulting, and other services and the Company pays TC Group an aggregate annual fee of $1.0 million, plus expenses. For the three months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company incurred $250,000 in advisory fees. For the nine months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company incurred $750,000 in advisory fees.

15. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Leases

As a result of the July 2008 merger transaction, as described in the Company’s Annual Report, the Company assigned a total of nine leases to Booz & Co. The facilities are located in New York, New York; Troy, Michigan; Florham Park, New Jersey; Parsippany, New Jersey; Houston, Texas; Chicago, Illinois; Cleveland, Ohio; Dallas, Texas; and London, England. Except for the Houston, Cleveland and Dallas leases, which expired, the Company remains liable under the terms of the original leases should Booz & Co. default on its obligations. There were no events of default under these leases as of December 31, 2012 or March 31, 2012. The maximum potential amount of undiscounted future payments is $27.6 million, and the leases expire at different dates between February 2013 and March 2017. Based on the Company’s assessment of the likelihood of future payment, no amounts have been recorded related to the Company’s contingent liability on such leases.

Government Contracting Matters

For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2012, approximately 99% of the Company’s revenue was generated from contracts with U.S. government agencies or other U.S. government contractors, and approximately 98% for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2011. Contracts with the U.S. government are subject to extensive legal and regulatory requirements and, from time to time and in the ordinary course of business, agencies of the U.S. government investigate whether the Company’s operations are conducted in accordance with these requirements and the terms of the relevant contracts by using investigative techniques such as subpoenas or civil investigative demands. U.S. government investigations of the Company, whether related to the Company’s U.S. government contracts or conducted for other reasons, could result in administrative, civil, or criminal liabilities, including repayments, fines, or penalties being imposed upon the Company, or could lead to suspension or debarment from future U.S. government contracting. Management believes it has adequately reserved for any losses that may be experienced from any investigation of which it is aware. The Defense Contract Management Agency Administrative Contracting Officer has negotiated annual final indirect cost rates through fiscal year 2006. Audits of subsequent years may result in cost reductions and/or penalties. Management believes it has adequately reserved for any losses that may be experienced from any such reductions and/or penalties. As of December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2012, the Company has recorded a liability of approximately $149.9 million and $127.2 million, respectively, for its current best estimate of amounts to be refunded to customers for potential adjustments from such audits or reviews of contract costs incurred subsequent to fiscal year 2006.

Litigation

The Company is involved in legal proceedings and investigations arising in the ordinary course of business, including those relating to employment matters, relationships with clients and contractors, intellectual property disputes, and other business matters. These legal proceedings seek various remedies, including claims for monetary damages in varying amounts that currently range up to $40 million or have a reasonably estimated outcome within that range, or are unspecified as to amount. Although the outcome of any such matter is inherently uncertain and may be materially adverse, based on current information, management does not expect any of the currently ongoing audits, reviews, investigations, or litigation to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.

Six former officers and stockholders who had departed the firm prior to July 31, 2008, the date on which we became majority owned by The Carlyle Group and certain of its affiliated investment funds, as described in the Company’s Annual Report, or the Acquisition, have filed a total of nine suits in various jurisdictions, with original filing dates ranging from July 3, 2008 through December 15, 2009 (three of which were amended on July 2, 2010 and then further amended into one consolidated complaint on September 7, 2010) against the Company and certain of the Company’s current and former directors and officers. Each of the suits arises out of the Acquisition and alleges that the former stockholders are entitled to certain payments that they would have received if they had held their stock at the time of the Acquisition. Some of the suits also allege that the Acquisition price paid to stockholders was insufficient. The various suits assert claims for breach of contract, tortious interference with contract, breach of fiduciary duty, civil Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, or RICO, violations, violations of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, and/or securities and common law fraud. Two of these suits have been dismissed with all appeals exhausted. Five of the remaining suits are pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, the sixth is pending in New York state court and the seventh is pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California. As of December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2012, the aggregate alleged damages sought in the seven remaining suits was approximately $348.7 million ($291.5 million of which is sought to be trebled pursuant to RICO) plus punitive damages, costs, and fees. Although the outcome of any of these cases is inherently uncertain and may be materially adverse, based on current information, management does not expect them to have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

16. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On January 29, 2013, our Board of Directors authorized and declared a regular quarterly cash dividend in the amount of $0.09 per share. The quarterly dividend is payable on February 28, 2013 to shareholders of record on February 11, 2013.

Overview

We are a leading provider of management and technology consulting services to the U.S. government in the defense, intelligence, and civil markets. Additionally, we provide management and technology consulting services to major corporations, institutions, and not for profit organizations. As the needs of our clients have grown more complex, we have developed deep expertise in strategy and organization, analytics, technology, engineering, and operations. Our acquisition of the Defense Systems Engineering and Support, or DSES, division of ARINC Incorporated, effective November 30, 2012, will further enhance our existing engineering capabilities and defense market position. Leveraging our 99-year consulting heritage and a talent base of approximately 24,800 people, we deploy our deep domain knowledge, functional expertise, and experience to help our clients achieve their objectives. We serve substantially all of the cabinet-level departments of the U.S. government. Our major clients include the Department of Defense, all branches of the U.S. military, the U.S. Intelligence Community, and civil agencies such as the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Energy, the Department of Health and Human Services, the Department of the Treasury, and the Environmental Protection Agency. We support these clients in addressing complex and pressing challenges such as combating global terrorism, improving cyber capabilities, transforming the healthcare system, improving efficiency and managing change within the government, and protecting the environment.

We have a collaborative culture, supported by our operating model, which helps our professionals identify and respond to emerging trends across the markets we serve and deliver enduring results for our clients.

Financial and Other Highlights

Revenue decreased 3.5% from the three months ended December 31, 2011 to the three months ended December 31, 2012 and decreased 2.5% from the nine months ended December 31, 2011 to the nine months ended December 31, 2012. We continue to focus on cost reduction efforts and efficiency initiatives which includes effective management of our capacity and efficient management of our costs. Capacity management and other cost reduction activities continued throughout the current period, and may influence future periods, due to the continuing trends of fiscal uncertainty and cost cutting in our principal markets. The outcome of these efforts in the three and nine months ended December 31, 2012 have resulted in a net decline in our headcount, which has led to declines in billable hours and therefore a decline in our direct labor. Each of these factors directly results in revenue declines. In this environment, we have also continued to focus on the effective deployment of our consulting staff to minimize the amount of time our staff spend on non-revenue producing activities. This reduction in unbillable time along with efficient use of our indirect costs, contributes to lower indirect costs, and most importantly a lower ratio of indirect costs to direct labor. Reductions in indirect costs have a direct correlation to a reduction of revenue recognized on our large portfolio of cost-reimbursable contracts. Substantially all of our revenue and backlog continues to be derived from services and solutions provided to client organizations across the U.S. government, primarily by our consulting staff and, to a lesser extent, our subcontractors. The mix of revenue generated by our consulting staff and subcontractors affects our operating margin, as the portion of our operating income derived from fees we earn on services provided by our subcontractors is significantly less than the operating income derived from direct consulting staff labor. The decline in our revenue described above was partially offset by revenue from our acquisition of DSES that closed on November 30, 2012.

Operating income grew 18.7% to $116.6 million in the three months ended December 31, 2012 from $98.2 million in the three months ended December 31, 2011, which reflects a 160 basis point increase in operating margin to 8.4% from 6.8% in the comparable periods. Operating income grew 15.0% to $333.4 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2012 from $290.0 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2011, which reflects a 120 basis point increase in operating margin to 7.9% from 6.7% in the comparable period. The improvement in operating margin was due to increased contract profitability

due to disciplined cost management of indirect spending, as described above, as well as decreases in incentive compensation costs. Our effective management of other indirect costs and lower ratio of indirect costs to direct labor produces higher margins on our time-and-material contracts and ultimately produces higher margins on our fixed-price contracts. The factors contributing to the increased operating margin were partially offset by increases in depreciation expense due to facility expansion in previous years, causing a higher increase in depreciation for fiscal 2013, and transaction costs incurred in connection with the acquisition of DSES.

Cash provided by operations increased $146.9 million to $398.9 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2012 from $252.0 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2011. The increase in cash provided by operations was a result of overall profitability of our contracts, our ability to invoice and collect from clients in a timely manner, and our effective management of vendor payments.

Non-GAAP Measures

We publicly disclose certain non-GAAP financial measurements, including Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share, or EPS, because management uses these measures for business planning purposes, including to manage our business against internal projected results of operations and measure our performance. We view Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted Diluted EPS as measures of our core operating business, which exclude the impact of the items detailed below, as these items are generally not operational in nature. These non-GAAP measures also provide another basis for comparing period to period results by excluding potential differences caused by non-operational and unusual or non-recurring items. We also utilize and discuss Free Cash Flow, because management uses this measure for business planning purposes, measuring the cash generating ability of the operating business, and measuring liquidity generally. We present these supplemental measures because we believe that these measures provide investors with important supplemental information with which to evaluate our performance, long term earnings potential, or liquidity, as applicable, and to enable them to assess our performance on the same basis as management. These supplemental performance measurements may vary from and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures by other companies in our industry. Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted EPS, and Free Cash Flow are not recognized measurements under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP, and when analyzing our performance or liquidity, as applicable, investors should (i) evaluate each adjustment in our reconciliation of operating and net income to Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income, and net cash provided by operating activities to Free Cash Flows, and the explanatory footnotes regarding those adjustments, each as defined under GAAP, (ii) use Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted Diluted EPS in addition to, and not as an alternative to, operating income, net income or diluted EPS, as a measure of operating results, and (iii) use Free Cash Flows in addition to, and not as an alternative to, net cash provided by operating activities as a measure of liquidity, each as defined under GAAP. We have defined the aforementioned non-GAAP measures as follows:

•

"Adjusted Operating Income" represents operating income before (i) certain stock option-based and other equity-based compensation expenses, (ii) adjustments related to the amortization of intangible assets, and (iii) any extraordinary, unusual, or non-recurring items. We prepare Adjusted Operating Income to eliminate the impact of items we do not consider indicative of ongoing operating performance due to their inherent unusual, extraordinary, or non-recurring nature or because they result from an event of a similar nature.

•

"Adjusted EBITDA" represents net income before income taxes, net interest and other expense, and depreciation and amortization and before certain other items, including: (i) certain stock option-based and other equity-based compensation expenses, (ii) transaction costs, fees, losses, and expenses, including fees associated with debt prepayments, and (iii) any extraordinary, unusual, or non-recurring items. We prepare Adjusted EBITDA to eliminate the impact of items we do not consider indicative of ongoing operating performance due to their inherent unusual, extraordinary, or non-recurring nature or because they result from an event of a similar nature.

•

"Adjusted Net Income" represents net income before: (i) certain stock option-based and other equity-based compensation expenses, (ii) transaction costs, fees, losses, and expenses, including fees associated with debt prepayments, (iii) adjustments related to the amortization of intangible assets, (iv) amortization or write-off of debt issuance costs and write-off of original issue discount, and (v) any extraordinary, unusual, or non-recurring items, in each case net of the tax effect calculated using an assumed effective tax rate. We prepare Adjusted Net Income to eliminate the impact of items, net of tax, we do not consider indicative of ongoing operating performance due to their inherent unusual, extraordinary, or non-recurring nature or because they result from an event of a similar nature.


•	"Adjusted Diluted EPS" represents diluted EPS calculated using Adjusted Net Income as opposed to net income. Additionally, Adjusted Diluted EPS does not contemplate any adjustments to net income as required under the two-class method as disclosed in the footnotes to the financial statements.


•	"Free Cash Flow" represents the net cash generated from operating activities less the impact of purchases of property and equipment.

Below is a reconciliation of Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted EPS, and Free Cash Flow to the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.

Recent Developments

The following recent developments occurred after December 31, 2012, which may cause our future results of operations to differ from our historical results of operations discussed under “— Results of Operations.”

Factors and Trends Affecting Our Results of Operations

Our results of operations have been, and we expect them to continue to be, affected by the following factors, which may cause our future results of operations to differ from our historical results of operations discussed under “— Results of Operations.”

Business Environment and Key Trends in Our Markets

We believe that the following trends and developments in the U.S. government services industry and our markets may influence our future results of operations:


•	budget deficits and the growing U.S. national debt increasing pressure on the U.S. government to reduce federal spending across all federal agencies together with associated uncertainty about the size and timing of those reductions;


•	changes in the relative mix of overall U.S. government spending and areas of spending growth, with lower spending on homeland security, intelligence and defense-related programs as overseas operations end, and continued increased spending on cyber-security, advanced analytics, technology integration and healthcare;


•	cost cutting and efficiency initiatives and other efforts to streamline the U.S. defense and intelligence infrastructure, including the initiatives implemented by the Secretary of Defense or reductions in defense budgets resulting from Congressional action;

•

Continued uncertainty around the timing, extent and nature of Congressional and other U.S. government action to address budgeting constraints and the U.S. government's ability to incur indebtedness in excess of its current limit and the U.S. deficit, including, in the absence of Congressional action to the contrary, material reductions in defense budgets resulting from the commencement on March 2, 2013 of automatic sequestration as required under the Budget Control Act of 2011 (as amended by the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012);


•	delays in the completion of the U.S. government’s budget process, which has in the past and could in the future delay procurement of the products, services, and solutions we provide;

•

existing and proposed fiscal constraints by the U.S. government and uncertainty about the size of future budget reductions may cause clients to invest appropriated funds on a less consistent or rapid basis, or not at all, particularly when considering long-term initiatives, not issue task orders in sufficient volume to reach current contract ceilings, and delay requests for new proposals and contract awards, relying on short-term extensions of current contracts instead;


•	the federal focus on refining the definition of “inherently governmental” work will continue to drive pockets of insourcing in various agencies, particularly in the intelligence market;

•

cost cutting and efficiency and effectiveness efforts by U.S. civilian agencies with a focus on increased use of performance measurement, “program integrity” efforts to reduce waste, fraud and abuse in entitlement programs, and renewed focus on improving procurement practices for and interagency use of IT services, including through the use of cloud based options and data center consolidation;


•	U.S. government agencies awarding contracts on a technically acceptable/lowest cost basis, which could have a negative impact on our ability to win certain contracts;


•	restrictions by the U.S. government on the ability of federal agencies to use lead system integrators, in response to cost, schedule and performance problems with large defense acquisition programs where contractors were performing the lead system integrator role;


•	increasingly complex requirements of the Department of Defense and the U.S. Intelligence Community, including cyber-security, managing federal health care cost growth and focus on reforming existing government regulation of various sectors of the economy, such as financial regulation and healthcare;


•	increased competition from other government contractors and market entrants seeking to take advantage of the trends identified above; and


•	efforts by the U.S. government to address organizational conflicts of interest and related issues and the impact of those efforts on us and our competitors.

Sources of Revenue

Substantially all of our revenue is derived from services provided under contracts and task orders with the U.S. government, primarily by our consulting staff and, to a lesser extent, our subcontractors. Funding for our contracts and task orders is generally linked to trends in budgets and spending across various U.S. government agencies and departments. We provide services under a large portfolio of contracts and contract vehicles to a broad client base, and we believe that our diversified contract and client base lessens potential volatility in our business; however, a reduction in the amount of services that we are contracted to provide to the U.S. government or any of our significant U.S. government clients could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations. In particular, the Department of Defense is one of our significant clients, and the Budget Control Act of 2011 (as amended by the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012) could impose an estimated $500 billion to $600 billion in automatic federal defense spending cuts between 2013 and 2021 to the extent that automatic sequestration required by the act commences on March 2, 2013. A reduction in the amount of services that we are contracted to provide to the Department of Defense could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations, and given the uncertainty of how these automatic reductions may be applied, we are unable to predict the nature or magnitude of the potential adverse effect.

Contract Types

We generate revenue under the following three basic types of contracts:

•

Cost-Reimbursable Contracts. Cost-reimbursable contracts provide for the payment of allowable costs incurred during performance of the contract, up to a ceiling based on the amount that has been funded, plus a fee. We generate revenue under two general types of cost-reimbursable contracts: cost-plus-fixed-fee and cost-plus-award-fee, both of which reimburse allowable costs and provide for a fee. The fee under each type of cost-reimbursable contract is generally payable upon completion of services in accordance with the terms of the contract. Cost-plus-fixed-fee contracts offer no opportunity for payment beyond the fixed fee. Cost-plus-award-fee contracts also provide for an award fee that varies within specified limits based upon the client’s assessment of our performance against a predetermined set of criteria, such as targets for factors like cost, quality, schedule, and performance.

•

Time-and-Materials Contracts. Under a time-and-materials contract, we are paid a fixed hourly rate for each direct labor hour expended, and we are reimbursed for allowable material costs and allowable out-of-pocket expenses. To the extent our actual direct labor and associated costs vary in relation to the fixed hourly billing rates provided in the contract, we will generate more or less profit, or could incur a loss.


•	Fixed-Price Contracts. Under a fixed-price contract, we agree to perform the specified work for a pre-determined price. To the extent our actual costs vary from the estimates upon which the price was negotiated, we will generate more or less profit, or could incur a loss. Some fixed-price

contracts have a performance-based component, pursuant to which we can earn incentive payments or incur financial penalties based on our performance. Fixed-price level of effort contracts require us to provide a specified level of effort (i.e., labor hours), over a stated period of time, for a fixed price.

The amount of risk and potential reward varies under each type of contract. Under cost-reimbursable contracts, there is limited financial risk, because we are reimbursed for all allowable costs up to a ceiling. However, profit margins on this type of contract tend to be lower than on time-and-materials and fixed-price contracts. Under time-and-materials contracts, we are reimbursed for the hours worked using the predetermined hourly rates for each labor category. In addition, we are typically reimbursed for other contract direct costs and expenses at cost. We assume financial risk on time-and-materials contracts because our labor costs may exceed the negotiated billing rates. Profit margins on well-managed time-and-materials contracts tend to be higher than profit margins on cost-reimbursable contracts as long as we are able to staff those contracts with people who have an appropriate skill set. Under fixed-price contracts, we are required to deliver the objectives under the contract for a pre-determined price. Compared to time-and-materials and cost-reimbursable contracts, fixed-price contracts generally offer higher profit margin opportunities because we receive the full benefit of any cost savings but generally involve greater financial risk because we bear the impact of any cost overruns. In the aggregate, the contract type mix in our revenue for any given period will affect that period's profitability. Over time we have experienced a relatively stable contract mix. However, over the last twelve months we have experienced a shift from time-and-materials contracts to cost-reimbursable contracts.

The table below presents the percentage of total revenue for each type of contract:



	Three Months Ended December 31,				Nine Months Ended December 31,
	2012		2011		2012		2011
Cost-reimbursable (1)	58	%	54	%	57	%	54	%
Time-and-materials	27	%	31	%	28	%	31	%
Fixed-price (2)	15	%	15	%	15	%	15	%


(1)	Includes both cost-plus-fixed-fee and cost-plus-award-fee contracts.


(2)	Includes fixed-price level of effort contracts.

Contract Diversity and Revenue Mix

We provide services to our clients through a large number of single award contracts and contract vehicles and multiple award contract vehicles. Most of our revenue is generated under indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity, or ID/IQ, contract vehicles, which include multiple award government wide acquisition contract vehicles, or GWACs, and General Services Administration Multiple Award Schedule Contracts, or GSA schedules, and certain single award contracts. GWACs and GSA schedules are available to all U.S. government agencies. Any number of contractors typically compete under multiple award ID/IQ contract vehicles for task orders to provide particular services, and we earn revenue under these contract vehicles only to the extent that we are successful in the bidding process for task orders.

We generate revenue under our contracts and task orders through our provision of services as both a prime contractor and subcontractor, as well as from the provision of services by subcontractors under contracts and task orders for which we act as the prime contractor. The mix of these types of revenue affects our operating margin. Substantially all of our operating margin is derived from direct consulting staff labor, as the portion of our operating margin derived from fees we earn on services provided by our subcontractors is not significant. We view growth in direct consulting staff labor as the primary driver of earnings growth. Direct consulting staff labor growth is driven by consulting staff headcount growth, after attrition, and total backlog growth.

Our People

Revenue from our contracts is derived from services delivered by consulting staff and, to a lesser extent, from our subcontractors. Our ability to hire, retain, and deploy talent with skills appropriately aligned with client needs is critical to our ability to grow our revenue. We continuously evaluate whether our talent base is properly sized and appropriately compensated, and contains an optimal mix of skills to be cost competitive and meet the rapidly evolving needs of our clients.We seek to achieve that result through recruitment and management of capacity and compensation. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, we employed approximately 24,800 and 25,800 people, respectively, of which approximately 22,400 and 23,300, respectively, were consulting staff. Our headcount as of December 31, 2012 is inclusive of the approximately 900 employees that joined us as a result of the DSES acquisition.

Contract Backlog

We define backlog to include the following three components:


•	Funded Backlog. Funded backlog represents the revenue value of orders for services under existing contracts for which funding is appropriated or otherwise authorized less revenue previously recognized on these contracts.


•	Unfunded Backlog. Unfunded backlog represents the revenue value of orders for services under existing contracts for which funding has not been appropriated or otherwise authorized.


•	Priced Options. Priced contract options represent 100% of the revenue value of all future contract option periods under existing contracts that may be exercised at our clients’ option and for which funding has not been appropriated or otherwise authorized.

Backlog does not include any task orders under ID/IQ contracts, including GWACs and GSA schedules, except to the extent that task orders have been awarded to us under those contracts.

The following table summarizes the value of our contract backlog at the respective dates presented, which includes acquired backlog from the Company's acquisition of DSES made during the three months ended December 31, 2012:



	As of December 31
	2012		2011
	(In millions)
Backlog:
Funded	$	3,152	$	2,971
Unfunded (1)	3,614		3,717
Priced options	6,156		5,527
Total backlog	$	12,922	$	12,215


(1)	Reflects a reduction by management to the revenue value of orders for services under two existing single award ID/IQ contracts the Company has had for several years, based on an established pattern of funding under these contracts by the U.S. government.

Our backlog includes orders under contracts that in some cases extend for several years. The U.S. Congress generally appropriates funds for our clients on a yearly basis, even though their contracts with us may call for performance that is expected to take a number of years. As a result, contracts typically are only partially funded at any point during their term and all or some of the work to be performed under the contracts may remain unfunded unless and until the U.S. Congress makes subsequent appropriations and the procuring agency allocates funding to the contract.

We view growth in total backlog and consulting staff headcount as the two key measures of our potential business growth. Growing and deploying consulting staff is the primary means by which we are able to recognize profitable revenue growth. To the extent that we are able to hire additional consulting staff and deploy them against funded backlog, we generally recognize increased revenue. Total backlog, including backlog from the DSES acquisition of $1.53 billion, increased by 5.8% from December 31, 2011 to December 31, 2012. Funded backlog of $3.15 billion, including funded backlog from the DSES acquisition of $247.3 million, increased by 6.1% from December 31, 2011 to December 31, 2012. Conversions to funded backlog during the twelve months ended December 31, 2012, excluding the impact of funded backlog from acquisitions, totaled $5.7 billion in comparison to $6.0 billion for the comparable period, with the decrease due to a lower conversion of unfunded backlog to funded backlog, the award of new contracts and task orders under which funding was appropriated, and

the exercise and subsequent funding of priced options. We report internally on our backlog on a monthly basis and review backlog upon occurrence of certain events to determine if any adjustments are necessary.

We cannot predict with any certainty the portion of our backlog that we expect to recognize as revenue in any future period and we cannot guarantee that we will recognize any revenue from our backlog. The primary risks that could affect our ability to recognize such revenue on a timely basis or at all are: program schedule changes, contract modifications, and our ability to assimilate and deploy new consulting staff against funded backlog; cost cutting initiatives and other efforts to reduce U.S. government spending, which could reduce or delay funding for orders for services; and delayed funding of our contracts due to delays in the completion of the U.S. government's budgeting process and the use of continuing resolutions by the U.S. government to fund its operations. Funded backlog includes orders under contracts for which the period of performance has expired, and we may not recognize revenue on the funded backlog that includes such orders due to, among other reasons, the tardy submission of invoices by our subcontractors and the expiration of the relevant appropriated funding in accordance with a pre-determined expiration date such as the end of the U.S. government's fiscal year. The revenue value of orders included in funded backlog that has not been recognized as revenue due to period of performance expirations has not exceeded approximately 5.8% of funded backlog as of the end of any of the eight fiscal quarters preceding the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2012. In our recent experience, none of the following additional risks have had a material negative effect on our ability to realize revenue from our funded backlog: the unilateral right of the U.S. government to cancel multi-year contracts and related orders or to terminate existing contracts for convenience or default; in the case of unfunded backlog, the potential that funding will not be made available; and, in the case of priced options, the risk that our clients will not exercise their options.

Operating Costs and Expenses

Costs associated with compensation and related expenses for our people are the most significant component of our operating costs and expenses. The principal factors that affect our costs are additional people as we grow our business and are awarded new contracts, task orders, and additional work under our existing contracts, and the hiring of people with specific skill sets and security clearances as required by our additional work. In conjunction with our initial public offering, our Board of Directors adopted a new equity compensation plan. The equity compensation component of the new plan has reduced officer-related compensation expense included in cost of revenue and general and administrative expenses over the near term with such expense reduction to reverse over time.

Our most significant operating costs and expenses are described below.


•	Cost of Revenue. Cost of revenue includes direct labor, related employee benefits, and overhead. Overhead consists of indirect costs, including indirect labor relating to infrastructure, management and administration, and other expenses.


•	Billable Expenses. Billable expenses include direct subcontractor expenses, travel expenses, and other expenses incurred to perform on contracts.


•	General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses include indirect labor of executive management and corporate administrative functions, marketing and bid and proposal costs, and other discretionary spending.


•	Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization includes the depreciation of computers, leasehold improvements, furniture and other equipment, and the amortization of internally developed software, as well as third-party software that we use internally, and of identifiable long-lived intangible assets over their estimated useful lives.

Seasonality

The U.S. government's fiscal year ends on September 30 of each year. It is not uncommon for U.S. government agencies to award extra tasks or complete other contract actions in the weeks before the end of its fiscal year in order to avoid the loss of unexpended fiscal year funds. In addition, we also have generally experienced higher bid and proposal costs in the months leading up to the U.S. government's fiscal year end as we pursue new contract opportunities being awarded shortly after the U.S. government fiscal year end as new opportunities are expected to have funding appropriated in the U.S. government's subsequent fiscal year. We may continue to experience this seasonality in future periods, and our future periods may be affected by it.

Three Months Ended December 31, 2012 Compared to Three Months Ended December 31, 2011

Revenue

Revenue decreased to $1,392.7 million from $1,442.7 million, or a 3.5% decrease. The decrease was primarily driven by a lower rate of indirect expenses which had a direct correlation to the reduction of revenue on our large portfolio of cost-reimbursable contracts. The lower rate of indirect expenses is primarily attributable to the cost reduction actions the Company implemented in late fiscal 2012 and continued focus on effective capacity and cost management, partially offset by revenue from the acquisition of DSES. Conversions to funded backlog during the twelve months ended December 31, 2012, excluding the impact of any funded backlog from acquisitions, totaled $5.7 billion in comparison to $6.0 billion for the comparable

period, with the decrease due to challenging and uncertain market conditions which is contributing to a lower conversion of unfunded backlog to funded backlog, the award of new contracts and task orders under which funding was appropriated, and the exercise and subsequent funding of priced options.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue decreased to $692.9 million from $730.0 million, or a 5.1% decrease. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in salaries and salary related benefits of $32.6 million, a decrease in incentive compensation costs of $13.8 million, and a decrease in employer retirement plan contributions of $3.9 million. The decreases were offset by increases in other direct consulting staff expenses of $13.4 million. The decrease in incentive compensation costs was due to reduced headcount in the senior ranks associated with the cost restructuring plan that was implemented during fiscal 2012, and a decrease in the incentive compensation accrual rates in fiscal 2013 as compared to fiscal 2012 largely in response to lower revenue growth due to the challenging and uncertain market conditions for government contractors, which has had an impact on our achievement of our annual incentive plan targets. The decrease in employer retirement plan contributions was due to a decrease in the number of employees who completed one year of service and became eligible to participate in our defined contribution plan, the Employees' Capital Accumulation Plan, or ECAP. Cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue was 49.8% and 50.6% in the three months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Billable Expenses

Billable expenses increased to $382.5 million from $370.5 million, or a 3.2% increase. This increase was primarily due to increases in subcontractor-related expenses of $25.2 million offset by decreases in other billable expenses of $13.2 million incurred to perform on contracts. The increase in direct subcontractor-related expenses was in support of growth on existing and new contracts and task orders during the three months ended December 31, 2012. Billable expenses as a percentage of revenue were 27.5% and 25.7% in the three months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses decreased to $182.5 million from $224.5 million, or an 18.7% decrease. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease of $36.0 million in other business-related expenses and professional fees attributable to the Company's disciplined management of corporate-related expenditures, a decrease in salaries and salary-related benefits of $3.7 million, and a decrease in incentive compensation costs of $2.3 million. The decrease in incentive compensation costs was due to reduced headcount in the senior ranks associated with the cost restructuring plan that was implemented during fiscal 2012, and a decrease in the incentive compensation accrual rates in fiscal 2013 as compared to fiscal 2012 for the same reasons described above under Cost of Revenue. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue were 13.1% and 15.6% for the three months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization decreased to $18.1 million from $19.5 million, or a 7.2% decrease. This decrease was primarily due to decreased capital expenditures due to the additional facility expansion to support the increase in headcount in fiscal 2012.

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased to $21.7 million from $12.0 million, or an 80.6% increase, primarily due to debt incurred in connection with the Recapitalization Transaction consummated on July 31, 2012, offset slightly by a decrease in the interest expense related to the deferred payment obligation due to payments made by the Company.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense increased to $38.8 million from $23.5 million or a 65.0% increase. The effective tax rate increased from 27.2% to 40.9% primarily due to the release of uncertain tax position reserves in the prior year.

Nine Months Ended December 31, 2012 Compared to Nine Months Ended December 31, 2011

Revenue

Revenue decreased to $4,212.8 million from $4,318.6 million, or a 2.5% decrease. The decrease was primarily driven by a decrease in revenue attributable to billable expenses and a lower rate of indirect expenses which has a direct correlation to the reduction of revenue on our large portfolio of cost reimbursable contracts. The lower rate of indirect expenses is primarily attributable to the cost reduction actions the Company implemented in late fiscal 2012 and continued focus on effective capacity and cost management, partially offset by revenue from the acquisition of DSES. Conversions to funded backlog during the twelve months ended December 31, 2012, excluding the impact of any funded backlog from acquisitions, totaled $5.7 billion in comparison to $6.0 billion for the comparable period, with the decrease due to challenging and uncertain market

conditions which is contributing to a lower conversion of unfunded backlog to funded backlog, the award of new contracts and task orders under which funding was appropriated, and the exercise and subsequent funding of priced options.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue decreased to $2,122.4 million from $2,172.5 million, or a 2.3% decrease. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in salaries and salary related benefits of $54.4 million and a decrease of $13.8 million in incentive compensation costs, offset by an increase in other direct consulting staff expenses of $21.2 million. The decrease in incentive compensation costs was due to reduced headcount in the senior ranks associated with the cost restructuring plan that was implemented during fiscal 2012, and a decrease in the incentive compensation accrual rates in fiscal 2013 as compared to fiscal 2012 largely in response to lower revenue growth due to the challenging and uncertain market conditions for government contractors, which has had an impact on our achievement of our annual incentive plan targets. Cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue was 50.4% and 50.3% in the nine months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Billable Expenses

Billable expenses decreased to $1,114.4 million from $1,143.6 million, or a 2.6% decrease. This decrease was primarily due to decreases in other billable expenses of $30.4 million incurred to perform on contracts offset by increases in subcontractor-related expenses of $1.2 million. The increase in direct subcontractor-related expenses was in support of growth on existing and new contracts and task orders during the nine months ended December 31, 2012. Billable expenses as a percentage of revenue were 26.5% in the nine months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses decreased to $588.4 million from $656.6 million, or a 10.4% decrease. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease of $58.1 million in other business-related expenses and professional fees attributable to the Company's disciplined management of corporate-related expenditures, a decrease of $8.8 million in salaries and salary-related benefits, a decrease in stock-based compensation of $3.3 million, and a decrease of $0.6 million in incentive compensation costs. The decrease in incentive compensation costs was due to reduced headcount in the senior ranks associated with the cost restructuring plan that was implemented during fiscal 2012, and a decrease in the incentive compensation accrual rates in fiscal 2013 as compared to fiscal 2012 for the same reasons described above under Cost of Revenue. These decreases were offset by an increase of $2.5 million in employer retirement plan contributions due to an increase in the number of employees who completed one year of service and became eligible to participate in our defined contribution plan, the ECAP. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue were 14.0% and 15.2% for the nine months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization decreased to $54.2 million from $55.9 million, or a 3.0% decrease. This decrease in depreciation and amortization expense was primarily due to a decrease of $2.3 million in the amortization of our intangible assets, which includes below market rate leases and contract backlog that were recorded in connection with the Acquisition, as described in our Annual Report, and are amortized based on contractual lease terms and projected future cash flows, respectively, thereby reflecting higher amortization expense initially and declining expense in subsequent periods. Intangible asset amortization expense decreased to $9.9 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2012 compared to $12.3 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2011.

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased to $50.8 million from $36.5 million, or a 39.1% increase, primarily due to debt incurred in connection with the Recapitalization Transaction consummated on July 31, 2012, offset slightly by a decrease in the interest expense related to the Deferred Payment Obligation, or DPO, due to payments made by the Company.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense increased to $110.6 million from $68.0 million or a 62.8% increase. The effective tax rate increased from 26.4% to 40.2% primarily due to the release of uncertain tax position reserves in the prior year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have historically been able to generate sufficient cash to fund our operations, debt payments, capital expenditures, and discretionary funding needs. We had $317.6 million and $484.4 million in cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2012 respectively, and our debt totaled $1,726.4 million and $965.4 million as of December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2012 respectively. Due to fluctuations in cash flows and the growth in operations, it may be necessary from time to

time in the future to borrow under our senior secured loan facilities to meet cash demands. We anticipate that cash provided by operating activities, cash and cash equivalents, and borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash requirements for the next twelve months, which primarily include:


•	operating expenses, including salaries;


•	working capital requirements to fund the growth of our business;


•	capital expenditures which primarily relate to the purchase of computers, business systems, furniture, and leasehold improvements to support our operations;


•	debt service requirements for borrowings under our senior secured loan facilities; and


•	cash taxes to be paid.

From time to time we evaluate alternative uses for excess cash resources including debt prepayments, payment of dividends, share repurchases or funding acquisitions. Any determination to pursue one or more of the above alternative uses for excess cash is subject to the discretion of our Board of Directors, and will depend upon various factors, including our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity requirements, restrictions that may be imposed by applicable law, our contracts, and our senior secured credit agreement, as amended, and other factors deemed relevant by our Board of Directors.

On November 30, 2012 the Company acquired DSES for approximately $155.1 million in cash. Additionally, on December 31, 2012 the Company acquired an engineering services company for an immaterial amount.

Effective July 31, 2012, the Company consummated the Recapitalization Transaction whereby our debt under the new senior credit facilities total $1.75 billion ($725 million Tranche A and $1,025 million Tranche B) and includes a $500 million revolving credit facility. See "-- Indebtedness."

On December 12, 2011, the Board of Directors approved a $30.0 million share repurchase program, to be funded from cash on hand. As of December 31, 2012, no shares have been repurchased under the program.

During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2012, we declared recurring cash dividends totaling $12.2 million ($0.09 per share) and $36.3 million ($0.27 per share). Additionally, during the nine months ended December 31, 2012, we declared special cash dividends totaling $1,112.1 million ($8.00 per share). No cash dividends were declared for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2011.

For each special dividend declared, the Compensation Committee, as Administrator of the Officers' Rollover Stock Plan and the Equity Incentive Plan, as amended, is required to make a determination under the respective plan's antidilution provision to adjust the outstanding options. For both the $1.50 and $6.50 special dividends, holders of the Rollover Options received a cash payment equal to the amount of the special dividend on the options' mandatory exercise date. For the $1.50 special dividend, holders of EIP options were granted a dividend equivalent equal to the special dividend payable on June 29, 2012 or the vesting of the EIP option, whichever is later. For the $6.50 special dividend, holders of EIP options with a pre-dividend exercise price less than $11.00 per share received a dividend equivalent equal to the amount of the special dividend payable on August 31, 2012 or the vesting of the EIP option, whichever is later. All other EIP options were adjusted by reducing the exercise price by $6.36 which is equal to the difference between the pre-dividend closing fair market value of our Class A Common Stock and the post-dividend opening fair market value of our Class A Common Stock as noted on the New York Stock Exchange.

Associated with the payment of the dividends, and in connection with the authorization of the special dividends, the Company paid accrued interest on the DPO of $4.0 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2012. No such payments were made for the same periods in fiscal 2012.

Cash Flows

Cash received from clients, either from the payment of invoices for work performed or for advances in excess of costs incurred, is our primary source of cash. We generally do not begin work on contracts until funding is appropriated by the client. Billing timetables and payment terms on our contracts vary based on a number of factors, including whether the contract type is cost-reimbursable, time-and-materials, or fixed-price. We generally bill and collect cash more frequently under cost-reimbursable

and time-and-materials contracts, as we are authorized to bill as the costs are incurred or work is performed. In contrast, we may be limited to bill certain fixed-price contracts only when specified milestones, including deliveries, are achieved. In addition, a number of our contracts may provide for performance-based payments, which allow us to bill and collect cash prior to completing the work.

Accounts receivable is the principal component of our working capital and is generally driven by revenue growth with other short-term fluctuations related to the payment practices of our clients. Our accounts receivable reflect amounts billed to our clients as of each balance sheet date. Our clients generally pay our invoices within 30 days of the invoice date. At any month-end, we also include in accounts receivable the revenue that was recognized in the preceding month, which is generally billed early in the following month. Finally, we include in accounts receivable amounts related to revenue accrued in excess of amounts billed, primarily on our fixed-price and cost-plus-award-fee contracts. The total amount of our accounts receivable can vary significantly over time, but is generally sensitive to revenue levels. Total accounts receivable (billed and unbilled combined, net of allowance for doubtful accounts) days sales outstanding, which we calculate by dividing total accounts receivable by revenue per day during the relevant fiscal quarter, was 63 as of December 31, 2012 and 65 as of March 31, 2012.

The table below sets forth our net cash flows for the periods presented:



	Nine Months Ended December 31,
	2012			2011
	(Unaudited)			(Unaudited)
	(In thousands)
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	398,934		$	252,019
Net cash used in investing activities	(178,027		)	(42,226		)
Net cash (used in) / provided by financing activities	(387,697		)	2,603
Total (decrease) / increase in cash and cash equivalents	$	(166,790	)	$	212,396

Net Cash from Operating Activities

Net cash from operations is primarily affected by the overall profitability of our contracts, our ability to invoice and collect from clients in a timely manner, and our ability to manage our vendor payments. Net cash provided by operations was $398.9 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2012 compared to $252.0 million in the same prior year period, or a 58.3% increase. The increase in net cash provided by operations was primarily due to a higher volume in cash collections during the U.S. government's fiscal year end, which resulted in a decrease in accounts receivable. Our higher cash collections were due to more timely payments by our customers than in the same prior year period, due in part to the U.S. Government's Office of Management and Budget's July 2012 temporary requirement to pay Department of Defense prime contractors within 15 days, which allows small business contractors and subcontractors to receive payments earlier. As a result, we experienced earlier receipt of monies than in the same prior year period.

Net Cash from Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $178.0 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2012 compared to $42.2 million in the same prior year period, or a 321.6% increase. The increase in net cash used in investing activities was primarily due to the $155.1 million in cash paid to ARINC for the acquisition of DSES on November 30, 2012.

Net Cash from Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities was $387.7 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2012 compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $2.6 million in the same prior year period. The increase in net cash used in financing activities was primarily due to the payment of regular and special dividends and associated dividend equivalents, partially offset by the net proceeds of the Recapitalization Transaction.

Indebtedness

Our debt totaled $1,726.4 million and $965.4 million as of December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2012, respectively. The interest rate in effect for Tranche A was 2.96% and for Tranche B was 4.50% as of December 31, 2012. The interest rate in effect under our prior credit facility was 2.49% and 3.75% for loans under Tranche A and Tranche B, respectively, as of March 31, 2012. As of December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2012, there were no amounts outstanding under our revolving credit facilities of $500 million and $275 million respectively. As of December 31, 2012 the Company was in compliance with all of its financial covenants under its credit facilities.

On July 31, 2012, the Company consummated the Recapitalization Transaction, which included the refinancing and termination of the Company's existing senior secured credit agreement with the proceeds of the borrowings under the Company's new senior secured credit agreement. Additionally the net proceeds of the recapitalization were used to pay the special dividend on August 31, 2012, as described above under Liquidity and Capital Resources. The new senior secured credit agreement, or the Credit Agreement, provided the Company with a $725.0 million Term Loan A tranche and a $1,025.0 million Term Loan B tranche, and a $500.0 million revolving credit facility with a $100.0 million sublimit for letters of credit.

Absent any prepayment accelerations of Debt Issuance Costs, or DIC, or the effect of changes in interest rates, the following table summarizes the estimated annual amortization expense of DIC using the effective interest rate method:



	DIC Amortization Expense
	Total		2013		2014		2015		2016		2017		Thereafter
	(in thousands)
Tranche A Loans	$	12,033	$	749	$	2,988	$	2,839	$	2,604	$	2,178	$	675
Tranche B Loans	11,522		383		1,589		1,643		1,715		1,775		4,417
Revolver	9,790		483		1,957		1,957		1,962		1,957		1,474
Total	$	33,345	$	1,615	$	6,534	$	6,439	$	6,281	$	5,910	$	6,566

The Credit Agreement requires quarterly principal payments of 1.25% of the stated principal amount of Tranche A Loans, with annual incremental increases to 1.875%, 2.50%, 3.125%, and 13%, prior to the Tranche A Loans maturity date of December 31, 2017, and 0.25% of the stated principal amount of Tranche B Loans, with the remaining balance payable on the Tranche B Loans maturity date of July 31, 2019. The revolving credit facility matures on December 31, 2017, at which time any outstanding principal balance is due in full.

The loans under the Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all of our assets and none of such assets will be available to satisfy the claims of our general creditors. The Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and customary affirmative and negative covenants. The negative covenants are limited to the following, in each case subject to certain exceptions: a maximum net total leverage ratio; a minimum net interest coverage ratio; limitations on indebtedness and liens; mergers, consolidations or amalgamations, or liquidations, wind-ups or dissolutions; dispositions of property; restricted payments; investments; transactions with affiliates; sale and lease back transactions; change in fiscal periods; negative pledges; restrictive agreements; limitations on line of business; limitations on speculative hedging and limitations on changes of names and jurisdictions. In addition, we are required to meet certain financial covenants at each quarter end, namely Consolidated Net Total Leverage and Consolidated Net Interest Coverage Ratios. As of December 31, 2012 we were compliant with these covenants.

Capital Structure and Resources

Our stockholders’ equity amounted to $184.5 million as of December 31, 2012, a decrease of $1,000.7 million compared to stockholders’ equity of $1,185.2 million as of March 31, 2012, primarily due to the payment of special dividends on June 29, 2012 and August 31, 2012, offset by the net increase for the nine month period from common stock issuances, stock option exercises, net income of $164.2 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2012, and stock-based compensation expense of $19.9 million.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of December 31, 2012, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Capital Expenditures

Since we do not own any of our facilities, our capital expenditure requirements primarily relate to the purchase of computers, business systems, furniture, and leasehold improvements to support our operations. Direct facility and equipment costs billed to clients are not treated as capital expenses. Our capital expenditures for the nine months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 were $20.7 million and $65.6 million, respectively, and the majority of such capital expenditures related to facilities infrastructure, equipment, and information technology. Expenditures for facilities infrastructure and equipment are generally incurred to support new and existing programs across our business. We also incur capital expenditures for information technology to support programs and general enterprise information technology infrastructure.

Commitments and Contingencies

We are subject to a number of reviews, investigations, claims, lawsuits, and other uncertainties related to our business. For a discussion of these items, refer to Note 15 to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Item 3.	Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

There have been no material changes during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to the information disclosed in the Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk section in Part II, “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 30, 2012.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, or Quarterly Report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION


Item 1.	Legal Proceedings

Our performance under U.S. government contracts and compliance with the terms of those contracts and applicable laws and regulations are subject to continuous audit, review, and investigation by the U.S. government which may include such investigative techniques as subpoenas or civil investigative demands. Given the nature of our business, these audits, reviews, and investigations may focus, among other areas, on various aspects of procurement integrity, labor time reporting, sensitive and/or classified information access and control, executive compensation, and post government employment restrictions. We are not always aware of our status in such matters, but we are currently aware of certain pending audits and investigations involving labor time reporting, procurement integrity, and classified information access. On April 13, 2012, we entered into an Administrative Agreement with the U.S. Air Force, which lifted the proposed debarment of our San Antonio office and removed it from the U.S. government’s Excluded Parties List System. See our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012 for additional information. In addition, from time to time, we are also involved in legal proceedings and investigations arising in the ordinary course of business, including those relating to employment matters, relationships with clients and contractors, intellectual property disputes, and other business matters. These legal proceedings seek various remedies, including claims for monetary damages in varying amounts that currently range up to $40.0 million or have a reasonably estimated outcome within that range or are unspecified as to amount. Although the outcome of any such matter is inherently uncertain and may be materially adverse, based on current information, we do not expect any of the currently ongoing audits, reviews, investigations, or litigation to have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Six former officers and stockholders who had departed the firm prior to July 31, 2008, the date on which we became majority owned by The Carlyle Group and certain of its affiliated investment funds, as described in the Company’s Annual Report, or the Acquisition, have filed a total of nine suits in various jurisdictions, with original filing dates ranging from July 3, 2008 through December 15, 2009 (three of which were amended on July 2, 2010 and then further amended into one consolidated complaint on September 7, 2010), against us and certain of our current and former directors and officers. Each of the suits arises out of the Acquisition and alleges that the former stockholders are entitled to certain payments that they would have received if they had held their stock at the time of the Acquisition. Some of the suits also allege that the Acquisition price paid to stockholders was insufficient. The various suits assert claims for breach of contract, tortious interference with contract, breach of fiduciary duty, civil Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, or RICO, violations, violations of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, or ERISA, and/or securities and common law fraud. Two of these suits have been dismissed with all appeals exhausted. Five of the remaining suits are pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, the sixth is pending in New York state court, and the seventh is pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California. The aggregate alleged damages sought in these seven remaining suits is approximately $348.7 million ($291.5 million of which is sought to be trebled pursuant to RICO), plus punitive damages, costs, and fees. Although the outcome of any of these cases is inherently uncertain and may be materially adverse, based on current information, management does not expect them to have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
