Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	'
	Note 1—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
	Overview
	Separation from former Parent. Science Applications International Corporation commenced operations on September 27, 2013 (the Distribution Date) following completion of a spin-off transaction from its former parent company, Leidos Holdings, Inc. (formerly SAIC, Inc.) (collectively with its consolidated subsidiaries, “former Parent”). In the spin-off transaction, the former Parent’s technical, engineering and enterprise information technology (IT) services business was separated into an independent, publicly traded company named Science Applications International Corporation (formerly SAIC Gemini, Inc.) (collectively, with its consolidated subsidiaries, the “Company”).
	To effect the spin-off transaction, the Company’s common stock was distributed on the Distribution Date to former Parent stockholders of record on a pro-rata basis with each former Parent stockholder receiving one share of the Company’s common stock for every seven shares of former Parent common stock. The Company’s Registration Statement on Form 10 relating to the spin-off transaction was declared effective with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on September 10, 2013. The Company’s common stock began trading on the New York Stock Exchange on September 30, 2013 under the symbol “SAIC.”
	In order to govern certain ongoing relationships between the Company and former Parent following the separation and to provide mechanisms for an orderly transition, the companies executed various agreements that govern the separation. The agreements include the Distribution Agreement, Employee Matters Agreement, Tax Matters Agreement, Master Transition Services Agreement (MTSA), and Master Transitional Contracting Agreement (MTCA). These agreements generally provide that each party is responsible for its respective assets, liabilities and obligations, including employee benefits, insurance and tax-related assets and liabilities. Contingent losses that were unknown at the time of separation and arise from the operation of the Company’s historical business or the former Parent’s corporate losses will be shared between the parties to the extent that losses in any such category exceed $50 million in the aggregate. If they arise and exceed the $50 million threshold, the Company will be responsible for 30% of the former Parent’s incremental contingent losses on corporate claims (and former Parent will be responsible for 70% of the Company’s incremental losses on claims relating to operations that exceed $50 million).
	In accordance with the MTCA, former Parent agreed to seek the U.S. government’s approval to novate all of the contracts with the U.S. government under which the Company primarily is obligated to fulfill the remaining terms. Under the terms of the MTCA, former Parent is obligated to remit to the Company all proceeds it receives for work performed by the Company until novation occurs, after which the Company may directly bill and collect from the U.S. government. The MTCA also governs the relationship between the Company and former Parent pending novation and assignment of contracts to the Company and addresses the treatment of existing contracts, proposals, and teaming arrangements where both companies will jointly perform work after separation. Each of the Company and former Parent indemnify the other party for work performed by it under the MTCA.
	Description of Business. The Company is a leading provider of technical, engineering and enterprise IT services to the U.S. government, including the Department of Defense (DoD) and federal civilian agencies. The Company provides systems engineering and integration services for large, complex government projects and offers a broad range of services with a targeted emphasis on higher-end, differentiated technology services.
	The Company operates in two segments, which provide comprehensive service offerings across its customer base. The Company’s technical and engineering offerings include engineering and maintenance of ground and maritime systems, logistics, training and simulation, as well as operation and program support services. The Company’s enterprise IT offerings include end-to-end enterprise IT services which span the design, development, integration, deployment, management and operation, sustainment and security of its customers’ entire IT infrastructure. As discussed in Note 14—Business Segment Information, these segments have been aggregated into one reporting segment for financial reporting purposes.
	Principles of Consolidation and Combination and Basis of Presentation
	Prior to the separation, the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows consisted of the technical, engineering and enterprise IT services businesses of former Parent, which represented a combined reporting entity. The assets and liabilities in the Company’s consolidated and combined balance sheet for fiscal 2013 have been reflected on a historical basis, as immediately prior to the separation all of the assets and liabilities presented were wholly owned by former Parent.
	The Company’s combined statements of income and comprehensive income, and cash flows for fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2012 and the Company’s combined balance sheet for fiscal 2013 consist entirely of the combined results of the technical, engineering and enterprise IT services businesses of former Parent.
	Subsequent to the separation, the Company’s consolidated and combined statements of income and comprehensive income and cash flows for fiscal 2014 consists of both the combined results of the technical, engineering and enterprise IT services businesses of former Parent through the Distribution Date and the Company’s consolidated results subsequent to the Distribution Date. The Company’s consolidated balance sheet at January 31, 2014 consists of the Company’s consolidated balances. On and prior to September 27, 2013, the consolidated and combined financial statements were prepared from separate records maintained by the Company’s former parent and may not necessarily be indicative of the conditions that would have existed or the results of operations of the Company had it been operated as an independent entity.
	References to “financial statements” refer to the consolidated and combined financial statements of the Company, which include the statements of income and comprehensive income, balance sheets, statements of equity and statements of cash flows. These financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). All intercompany transactions and account balances within the Company have been eliminated.
	Correction of Balance Sheet Classification
	Subsequent to the issuance of the Company’s financial statements for the year ended January 31, 2013, the Company’s management discovered an error in the balance sheet presentation of certain customer payments received. Such payments were incorrectly classified as collections in excess of revenues (a current liability) instead of as a reduction to unbilled accounts receivable (a current asset). As a result, current and total liabilities, and current and total assets were overstated by $26 million. The balance sheet as of January 31, 2013 has been restated to correct for this classification error. This error had no effect on the Company’s consolidated and combined statements of income and comprehensive income or the consolidated and combined statements of equity. In addition, total cash flows, including total cash flows from operating activities, were not affected.
	Use of Estimates
	The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingencies at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Management evaluates these estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis, including those related to allowances for doubtful accounts, inventories, fair value and impairment of intangible assets and goodwill, income taxes, estimated profitability of long-term contracts, stock-based compensation expense, contingencies and litigation. Estimates have been prepared by management on the basis of the most current and best available information at the time of estimation and actual results could differ from those estimates.
	Reporting Periods
	Unless otherwise noted, references to fiscal years are to fiscal years ended January 31 (for fiscal 2013 and earlier periods), or fiscal years ended the Friday closest to January 31 (for fiscal 2014 and later periods). For fiscal 2013, the Company’s interim fiscal quarters ended on the last calendar day of each of April, July and October. Effective in fiscal 2014, the Company changed its fiscal year to a 52/53 week fiscal year ending on the Friday closest to January 31, with fiscal quarters typically consisting of 13 weeks. Fiscal 2014 began on February 1, 2013 and ended on January 31, 2014. The Company does not believe that the change in its fiscal year has a material effect on the comparability of the periods presented.
	Corporate Allocations
	Pre-Separation. The statements of income and comprehensive income reflect allocations of general corporate expenses from former Parent including, but not limited to, costs associated with executive management, finance, legal, IT, human resources, employee benefits administration, treasury, risk management, procurement, and other shared services.
	The allocations were made on a direct usage basis when identifiable, with the remainder allocated on the basis of costs incurred, headcount or other appropriate measures. Management of the Company considers these allocations to be a reasonable reflection of the utilization of services by, or the benefits provided to the Company. The allocations may not, however, reflect the expense the Company would have incurred as a stand-alone company prior to the separation. Actual costs that may have been incurred if the Company had been a stand-alone company would depend on a number of factors, including the chosen organizational structure, what functions were outsourced or performed by employees and strategic decisions made in areas such as IT and infrastructure.
	The balance sheet as of January 31, 2013 includes former Parent assets and liabilities that are specifically identifiable or otherwise attributable to the Company. Former Parent’s cash, excluding a minor balance specifically attributable to the Company, has not been assigned to the Company for any of the periods prior to separation because those cash balances are not directly attributable to the Company nor did the Company have a contractual right to acquire that cash in connection with the separation. Former Parent’s senior unsecured notes, and the related interest expense, have not been attributed to the Company for any of the periods presented because former Parent’s borrowings and the related guarantees on such borrowings are not directly attributable to the combined businesses that comprise the Company. The Company did not assume any of former Parent’s borrowings or the related guarantees upon completion of the separation.
	Former Parent historically used a centralized approach to cash management and financing of its operations. Transactions between the Company and former Parent were considered to be effectively settled for cash at the time the transaction was recorded. The net effect of these transactions is included in the consolidated and combined statements of cash flows as Net transfers to former Parent.
	Post-Separation. Following the separation from former Parent, the Company performs functions that were previously performed by former Parent using internal resources and purchased services, some of which may be provided by former Parent during a transitional period pursuant to the MTSA.
	Revenue Recognition
	The Company’s revenues are generated primarily from contracts with the U.S. government, commercial customers, and various international, state and local governments or from subcontracts with other contractors engaged in work with such customers. The Company performs under various types of contracts, which include firm-fixed-price (FFP), time-and-materials (T&M), fixed-price-level-of-effort (FP-LOE), cost-plus-fixed-fee, cost-plus-award-fee and cost-plus-incentive-fee contracts.
	FFP contracts—Revenues and fees on these contracts that are system integration or engineering in nature are primarily recognized using the percentage-of-completion method of accounting utilizing the cost-to-cost method.
	T&M contracts—Revenue is recognized on T&M contracts with the U.S. government using the percentage-of-completion method of accounting utilizing an output measure of progress. Revenue is recognized on T&M contracts with non-U.S. government customers using a proportional performance method. Under both of these methods, revenue is recognized based on the hours provided in performance under the contract multiplied by the negotiated contract billing rates, plus the negotiated contract billing rate of any allowable material and subcontract costs and out-of-pocket expenses.
	FP-LOE contracts—These contracts are substantially similar to T&M contracts except they require a specified level of effort over a stated period of time. Accordingly, the Company recognizes revenue on FP-LOE contracts with the U.S. government in a manner similar to T&M contracts in which the Company measures progress toward completion based on the hours provided in performance under the contract multiplied by the negotiated contract billing rates, plus the negotiated contract billing rate of any allowable material costs and out-of-pocket expenses.
	Cost-plus-fixed-fee contracts—Revenue is recognized on cost-plus-fixed-fee contracts with the U.S. government on the basis of partial performance equal to costs incurred, plus an estimate of applicable fees earned as the Company becomes contractually entitled to reimbursement of costs and the applicable fees.
	Cost-plus-award-fee/cost-plus-incentive fee contracts—Revenues and fees on these contracts with the U.S. government are primarily recognized using the percentage-of-completion method of accounting, most often based on the cost-to-cost method. The Company includes an estimate of the ultimate incentive or award fee to be received on the contract in the estimate of contract revenues for purposes of applying the percentage-of-completion method of accounting.
	Revenues from services and maintenance contracts, notwithstanding contract type, are recognized over the term of the respective contracts as the services are performed and revenue is earned. Revenues from unit-priced contracts are recognized as transactions are processed based on objective measures of output. Revenues from the sale of manufactured products are recorded upon passage of title and risk of loss to the customer, which is generally upon delivery, provided that all other requirements for revenue recognition have been met.
	The Company also uses the efforts-expended method of percentage-of-completion accounting using measures such as labor dollars for measuring progress toward completion in situations in which this approach is more representative of the progress on the contract. For example, the efforts-expended method is utilized when there are significant amounts of materials or hardware procured for the contract that is not representative of progress on the contract. Additionally, the Company utilizes the units-of-delivery method on contracts where separate units of output are produced. Under the units-of-delivery method, revenue is generally recognized when the units are delivered to the customer, provided that all other requirements for revenue recognition have been met.
	The Company evaluates its contracts for multiple elements, and when appropriate, separates the contracts into separate units of accounting for revenue recognition.
	The Company provides for anticipated losses on contracts by recording an expense during the period in which the losses are determined. Amounts billed and collected but not yet recognized as revenues under certain types of contracts are deferred. Contract costs incurred for U.S. government contracts, including indirect costs, are subject to audit and adjustment through negotiations between the Company and government representatives. Revenues on U.S. government contracts have been recorded in amounts that are expected to be realized upon final settlement of indirect contract costs.
	Contract claims are unanticipated additional costs incurred but not provided for in the executed contract price that the Company seeks to recover from the customer. Such costs are expensed as incurred. Additional revenue related to contract claims is recognized when the amounts are awarded by the customer. In certain situations, primarily where the Company is not the primary obligor on certain elements of a contract the Company recognizes as revenue the net management fee associated with the services and excludes from its income statement the gross sales and costs associated with the facility or other vendors’ products.
	Changes in Estimates on Contracts
	Changes in estimates related to contracts accounted for using the cost-to-cost percentage-of-completion method of accounting are recognized in the period in which such changes are made for the inception-to-date effect of the changes. Changes in these estimates can routinely occur over the contract performance period for a variety of reasons, including changes in contract scope, changes in contract cost estimates due to unanticipated cost growth or retirements of risk for amounts different than estimated, and changes in estimated incentive or award fees. Changes in contract estimates were as follows:
		Year ended January 31
		2014			2013			2012
		(in millions, except
		per share amounts)
	Favorable adjustments	$	22		$	22		$	25
	Unfavorable adjustments		(26	)		(24	)		(16	)
	Net favorable (unfavorable) adjustments		(4	)		(2	)		9
	Income Tax Effect		1			1			(3	)
	Net favorable (unfavorable) adjustments, after tax		(3	)		(1	)		6
	Basic earnings per share impact	$	(0.05	)	$	(0.03	)	$	0.12
	Diluted earnings per share impact	$	(0.05	)	$	(0.03	)	$	0.12
	Separation Transaction and Restructuring Expenses
	For the periods presented, separation transaction and restructuring expenses were as follows:
		Year ended January 31
		2014			2013
		(in millions)
	Lease termination and facility consolidation expense	$	20		$	—
	Strategic advisory services		15			17
	Legal and accounting services		10			5
	Investment banking services		9			3
	Severence costs		4			3
	Separation transaction and restructuring expense	$	58		$	28
	In connection with the separation transaction, the Company took actions to reduce its real estate footprint by vacating facilities that were not necessary for its future requirements, which resulted in lease termination and facility consolidation expenses. Also, the Company obtained services for strategic advisory, legal and accounting, and investment banking. The Company also reduced headcount in preparation for the separation, which resulted in severance costs. As of January 31, 2014, the Company has expensed substantially all costs associated with announced severance plans.
	Costs Allocated to Contracts
The Company classifies indirect costs incurred within or allocated to its U.S. government customers as overhead (included in cost of revenues) or general and administrative expenses in the same manner as such costs are defined in the Company’s disclosure statements under U.S. government Cost Accounting Standards (CAS).
Income Taxes
Pre-separation. Prior to the separation, the Company’s operations were historically included in former Parent’s U.S. federal and state income tax returns and all income taxes were paid by former Parent. Income taxes are presented in these financial statements as if the Company filed its own tax returns on a separate tax return basis. Current income tax liabilities are assumed to be immediately settled with former Parent against the former parent company investment account.
Post-separation. The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method of accounting, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. Under this method, changes in tax rates and laws are recognized in income in the period such changes are enacted. The provision for federal, state, foreign and local income taxes is calculated on income before income taxes based on current tax law and includes the cumulative effect of any changes in tax rates from those used previously in determining deferred tax assets and liabilities. Such provision differs from the amounts currently payable because certain items of income and expense are recognized in different reporting periods for financial reporting purposes than for income tax purposes. Recording the provision for income taxes requires management to make significant judgments and estimates for matters whose ultimate resolution may not become known until the final resolution of an examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) or state agencies. Additionally, recording liabilities for uncertain tax positions involves significant judgment in evaluating the Company’s tax positions and developing the best estimate of the taxes ultimately expected to be paid. We include tax penalties and interest in income tax expense.
The Company records net deferred tax assets to the extent it believes these assets will more likely than not be realized. In making such determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent results of operations. If it is determined that the Company would be able to realize the deferred income tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount or would no longer be able to realize the deferred income tax assets in the future as currently recorded, an adjustment would be made to the valuation allowance which would decrease or increase the provision for income taxes.
The Company has also recognized liabilities for uncertain tax positions when it is more likely than not that a tax position will not be sustained upon examination and settlement with various taxing authorities. Liabilities for uncertain tax positions are measured based upon the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company issues stock-based awards, including stock options and vesting stock awards, as compensation to employees and directors. These awards are accounted for as equity awards. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense net of estimated forfeitures on a straight-line basis over the underlying award’s requisite service period, as measured using the award’s grant-date fair value. The Company estimates forfeitures using former Parent’s historical experience. As discussed in Note 6—Stock-Based Compensation, at separation all former Parent stock-based awards held by Company employees were converted into awards of the stock-based compensation plans sponsored by the Company.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company’s cash equivalents are comprised of cash in banks and highly liquid instruments, primarily consisting of investments in institutional money market funds which invest primarily in short-term debt securities. The Company does not invest in high yield or high risk securities. Cash in bank accounts at times may exceed federally insured limits. There are no restrictions on the withdrawal of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents.
Receivables
The Company’s accounts receivable include both receivables billed to customers and unbilled receivables, which consist of costs and fees billable upon contract completion or the occurrence of a specified event, substantially all of which is expected to be billed and collected within one year. Unbilled receivables are stated at estimated realizable value. Since the Company’s receivables are primarily with the U.S. government, the Company does not have a material credit risk exposure. Contract retentions are billed when we have negotiated final indirect rates with the U.S. government and, once billed, are subject to audit and approval by government representatives. Consequently, the timing of collection of retention balances is outside our control. Based on our historical experience, the majority of retention balances are expected to be collected beyond one year and write-offs of retention balances have not been significant. Contract claims are anticipated additional costs incurred but not provided for in the executed contract price that the Company seeks to recover from the customer. Such costs are expensed as incurred. Revenue related to contract claims is recognized when the contract price is adjusted by the customer.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk primarily consist of accounts receivable. Although credit risk is limited, the Company’s receivables are concentrated with its principal customers, which are the various agencies of the U.S. government and customers engaged in work for the U.S. government.
Pre-contract Costs
Costs incurred on projects as pre-contract costs are deferred as assets (inventory, prepaid expenses and other current assets) when the Company has been requested by the customer to begin work under a new arrangement prior to contract execution and it is probable that the Company will recover the costs through the issuance of a contract. When the formal contract has been executed, the costs are recorded to the contract and revenue is recognized.
Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or estimated net realizable value. Raw material inventory is valued using the average cost or first-in, first-out methods. Work-in-process inventory includes raw material costs plus labor costs, including fringe benefits, and allocable overhead costs. Finished goods inventory consists primarily of purchased finished goods for resale to customers, such as tires and lubricants. The Company evaluates inventory against historical and planned usage to determine appropriate provisions for obsolete inventory.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
The Company evaluates goodwill for potential impairment annually at the beginning of the fourth quarter, or whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable. The goodwill impairment test is a two-step process performed at the reporting unit level. The first step consists of estimating the fair values of each of the reporting units based on a market approach. Fair value computed using this method is determined using a number of factors, including projected future operating results and business plans, economic projections, anticipated future cash flows, comparable market data based on industry grouping, and the cost of capital. The estimated fair values are compared with the carrying values of the reporting units. If the fair value is less than the carrying value of a reporting unit, which includes the allocated goodwill, a second step is performed to compute the amount of the impairment by determining an implied fair value of goodwill. The implied fair value of goodwill is the residual fair value derived by deducting the fair value of a reporting unit’s identifiable assets and liabilities from its estimated fair value calculated in the first step. The impairment expense represents the excess of the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill over the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill.
The Company faces uncertainty in its business environment due to the substantial fiscal and economic challenges facing the U.S. government, its primary customer. Adverse changes, such as the manner in which budget cuts are implemented, including sequestration, and issues related to the nation’s debt ceiling, could negatively impact the Company’s expected future operating results and potentially result in an impairment of goodwill.
Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized using the method that best reflects how their economic benefits are utilized or, if a pattern of economic benefits cannot be reliably determined, on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Intangible assets with finite lives are assessed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant, and equipment are carried at cost net of accumulated depreciation. Purchases of property, plant and equipment as well as costs associated with major renewals and betterments are capitalized. Maintenance, repairs and minor renewals and betterments are expensed as incurred. When assets are sold or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation or amortization are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is recognized. Depreciation is recognized using the methods and estimated useful lives as follows:
	Depreciation method		Estimated useful lives (in years)
Equipment	Straight-line or declining-balance		10-Mar
Building	Straight-line		40
Software licenses and capitalized software	Straight-line		7
Building improvements and leasehold improvements	Straight-line		Shorter of lease term or 12
Impairment of Long-lived Assets
The Company evaluates its long-lived assets for potential impairment whenever there is evidence that events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable and the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its estimated future undiscounted cash flows. When the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its estimated future undiscounted cash flows, an impairment loss is recognized to reduce the asset’s carrying amount to its estimated fair value based on the present value of its estimated future cash flows.
Commitments and Contingencies
Accruals for commitments and loss contingencies are recorded when it is both probable that they will occur and the amounts can be reasonably estimated. In addition, legal fees are accrued for cases where a loss is probable and the related fees can be reasonably estimated. Significant judgment is required to determine both probability and the estimated amount of loss. The Company reviews these accruals quarterly and adjusts the accruals to reflect the impact of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel, and other updated information.
Former Parent Company Investment
Former Parent company investment represents former Parent’s historical investment in the Company, the net effect of cost allocations from transactions with former Parent, net transfers of cash and assets between the Company and former Parent and the Company’s accumulated earnings prior to the separation. See Note 5 – Related Party Transactions and former Parent Company Investment for a further description of the transactions between the Company and former Parent.
Derivative Instruments Designated as Cash Flow Hedges
The Company uses fixed interest rate swaps to manage risks associated with interest rate fluctuations on its floating rate debt. The Company is party to fixed interest rate swap instruments that have been designated and accounted for as cash flow hedges. Derivative instruments are recorded on the consolidated and combined balance sheet at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on derivatives designated as cash flow hedges are reported in other comprehensive (loss) income and reclassified to earnings in a manner that matches the timing of the earnings impact of the hedged transactions. The ineffective portion of all hedges, if any, is recognized immediately in earnings.
The Company’s fixed interest rate swaps are considered over-the-counter derivatives, and fair value is calculated using a standard pricing model for interest rate swaps with contractual terms for maturities, amortization and interest rates. Level 2, or market observable inputs, such as yield and credit curves are used within the standard pricing models in order to determine fair value. The fair value is an estimate of the amount that the Company would pay or receive as of a measurement date if the agreements were transferred to a third party or cancelled. See Note 10 – Derivative Instruments Designated as Cash Flow Hedges for further discussion.
Fair Value Measurements
The Company utilizes fair value measurement guidance prescribed by GAAP to value its financial instruments. The accounting standard for fair value measurements establishes a three-tier value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows: observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets (Level 1); inputs other than the quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly (Level 2); and unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which requires the Company to develop its own assumptions (Level 3).
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and other amounts included in other current assets and current liabilities that meet the definition of a financial instrument approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these amounts. The fair value of the Company’s outstanding debt obligations approximates its carrying value. The fair value of long-term debt is calculated using Level 2 inputs, based on interest rates available for debt with terms and maturities similar to the company’s existing debt arrangements.
Operating Cycle
The Company’s operating cycle for long-term contracts may be greater than one year and is measured by the average time intervening between the inception and the completion of those contracts. Contract-related assets and liabilities are classified as current assets and current liabilities.
Accounting Standards Updates Issued But Not Yet Adopted
Accounting standards and updates issued but not effective for the Company until after January 31, 2014 are not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations and cash flows.

Earnings Per Share (EPS), Share Repurchases and Dividends	'
	Note 2—Earnings Per Share (EPS), Share Repurchases and Dividends:
	EPS
	Basic EPS is computed by dividing income by the basic weighted average number of shares outstanding. Diluted EPS is computed similarly to basic EPS, except the weighted average number of shares outstanding is increased to include the dilutive effect of outstanding stock options and other stock-based awards.
	For periods prior to the separation, basic EPS was calculated using 48.6 million shares of the Company’s common stock that were distributed to former Parent shareholders upon separation. Diluted EPS for the periods prior to the separation was calculated using 49.7 million shares, which included 1.1 million of diluted common share equivalents for stock options and other stock-based awards (consistent with the number calculated immediately following separation) as these stock-based awards were previously issued by former Parent and outstanding at the time of separation and were assumed by the Company following the separation.
	A reconciliation of the weighted average number of shares outstanding used to compute basic and diluted EPS for the periods presented was as follows:
		Year ended January 31

	Antidilutive stock options excluded		1.3		1.9		1.9
	Share Repurchases
	The Company may occasionally repurchase shares in accordance with established repurchase plans. The Company retires its common stock upon repurchase with the excess over par value allocated to additional paid-in capital. The Company has not made any material purchases of common stock other than in connection with established repurchase plans. The change in outstanding shares due to these activities subsequent to the end of fiscal 2014 through the date of this Annual Report was not material.
	Cash Dividend
	The Company declared and paid two quarterly dividends totaling $0.56 per share of its common stock following the separation from former Parent.
	On March 19, 2014, the Company’s board of directors declared a cash dividend of $0.28 per share of the Company’s common stock payable on April 30, 2014 to stockholders of record on April 15, 2014.

	Pre-Separation
	Allocation of Corporate Expenses. The consolidated and combined statements of income and comprehensive income for fiscal 2014 (through the Distribution Date), 2013 and 2012 reflect an allocation of general corporate expenses from former Parent for the time period before the separation. These costs are allocated to the Company systematically utilizing a direct usage basis when identifiable, with the remainder allocated on the basis of costs incurred, headcount or other appropriate measures.
	Allocations for general corporate expenses, including management costs and corporate support services provided to the Company totaled $104 million, $154 million, and $152 million for fiscal 2014, 2013, and 2012, respectively. These amounts include costs for executive management, finance, legal, IT, human resources, employee benefits administration, treasury, risk management, procurement and other shared services.
	Revenues and Cost of Revenues Performed by Former Parent. The Company historically was a party to customer transactions in which the services were partially performed by former Parent. These transactions were recorded at revenue equal to cost to reflect that no additional profit was charged to the customer for work performed by former Parent and are presented separately in the consolidated and combined statements of income and comprehensive income.
	Net Transfers of Plant, Property, and Equipment from Former Parent. In connection with the separation, former Parent transferred to the Company certain equipment necessary to operate its internal IT systems (see Note 13).
	Post-Separation
	Allocation of Corporate Expenses. In connection with the separation, the Company entered into the MTSA with former Parent, under which both parties will provide certain services for a limited time to ensure an orderly transition following the separation. The Company performs functions that were previously performed by former Parent using internal resources and purchased services, some of which may be provided by former Parent during a transitional period pursuant to the MTSA.
	Revenues and Cost of Revenues Performed by Former Parent. The Company will continue to be a party to customer transactions in which the services are partially performed by former Parent. As the Company will not charge additional profit to the customer for work performed by former Parent, these transactions are recorded at revenue equal to cost and are presented separately in the consolidated and combined statements of income and comprehensive income.
	Dividend to Former Parent. In connection with the separation, the Company paid a cash dividend to former Parent in the amount of $295 million.
	Contribution from Former Parent. In connection with the separation, former Parent made contributions to the Company totaling $29 million.

Stock-Based Compensation	12 Months Ended
	Jan. 31, 2014
Stock-Based Compensation	'
	Note 6—Stock-Based Compensation:
	Plan Summaries
	In connection with the separation, the Company adopted the following stock-based compensation plans: the “2013 Equity Incentive Plan,” the “Management Compensation Plan,” the “Stock Compensation Plan,” and the “Employee Stock Purchase Plan” (ESPP) or referred to together as the “Plans.” The Company issues new shares upon the issuance of stock awards or exercise of stock options under these Plans.
	At separation, all unvested stock awards and all outstanding stock options held by the Company’s employees and directors under the former Parent’s plans converted into awards under the Plans (referred to as “separation adjustments” in the activity tables below). This conversion was designed to maintain the same intrinsic value of the awards immediately before and after the separation. The converted awards have substantially the same terms and conditions as immediately before the separation under the former Parent’s plans. Unrecognized compensation expense as of the separation date related to the converted awards will be recognized by the Company over the remaining vesting periods of the awards.
	The 2013 Equity Incentive Plan provides the Company’s employees, directors and consultants the opportunity to receive various types of stock-based compensation and cash awards. As of January 31, 2014, the Company has issued stock options, vested and vesting stock awards, and cash awards under this plan. Stock awards granted under the plan generally vest or become exercisable 20%, 20%, 20%, and 40% after one, two, three and four years, respectively. The maximum contractual term for stock options granted under this plan is ten years, but historically the Company has granted stock options with a seven year contractual term. Vesting may be accelerated for employees meeting retirement eligibility conditions. Stock-based awards generally provide for accelerated vesting if there is a change in control (as defined in the 2013 Equity Incentive Plan). The Company has authorized 5.7 million shares of common stock for issuance.
	The Company has a Management Stock Compensation Plan and a Stock Compensation Plan, together referred to as the Stock Compensation Plans. The board of directors may at any time amend or terminate the Stock Compensation Plans. The Stock Compensation Plans provide for awards in share units to eligible employees. Benefits from these plans are payable in shares of the Company’s stock that are held in a trust for the purpose of funding benefit payments to the plans’ participants. Compensation expense is generally recognized over the vesting period of four years and vest 100% after four years following the date of the award. The Stock Compensation Plans permit a vesting period up to 7 years after the date of grant. Upon a change in control of the Company (as defined by the Stock Compensation Plans), participant accounts will become fully vested and shares of the stock held in the accounts will be immediately distributed. The Stock Compensation Plans do not provide for a maximum number of shares available for future issuance.
	The Company has an employee stock purchase plan (ESPP) which allows eligible employees to purchase shares of the Company’s stock at a discount of up to 15% of the fair market value on the date of purchase. During the three years ended January 31, 2014, the discount was 5% of the fair market value on the date of purchase for purchases made under the Company’s ESPP (or under former Parent’s ESPP prior to the separation), thereby resulting in the ESPP being non-compensatory. As of January 31, 2014, 1 million shares of the Company’s stock were authorized and reserved for future issuance under the ESPP.
	Stock-Based Compensation and Related Tax Benefits Recognized
	Stock-based compensation expense is recognized net of estimated forfeitures on a straight-line basis over the underlying award’s requisite service period, as measured using the award’s grant-date fair value. Vesting and expense recognition may be accelerated for employees meeting retirement eligibility conditions.
	Prior to the separation, certain Company employees and directors participated in stock-based compensation plans sponsored by former Parent that were denominated in former Parent’s common shares. Since the Company’s employees directly benefited from participation in these Plans and former Parent’s corporate employees receiving such awards provided management and corporate support services to the Company, stock-based compensation expense was allocated to the Company in accordance with former Parent’s disclosure statements under U.S. government CAS or another systematic basis.
	Stock-based compensation and related tax benefits recognized under all plans were as follows:
			Year ended January 31
			2014			2013			2012

	Stock-based compensation expense:

	Total stock-based compensation expense		$	33		$	30		$	28
	Tax benefits recognized from stock-based compensation		$	13		$	12		$	11
	Stock Options
	Stock options generally vest over a four year graded vesting schedule and have seven year contractual terms. Stock options are granted with their exercise price equal to the fair market value of common stock on the date of grant, except for those stock options outstanding as of September 27, 2013, for which the exercise prices (and number of stock options) were adjusted for the conversion at separation.
	Stock option activity for the Company’s employees for the year ended January 31, 2014 was as follows:

	(b)	Transfers from former Parent, net represent the awards of those employees that transferred between the Company and former Parent prior to the separation.
	(c)	On June 12, 2013, former Parent modified all outstanding stock options in connection with the payment of a special dividend. The modification reduced the exercise prices of the outstanding stock options and increased the number of shares issuable upon the exercise of each option such that the aggregate intrinsic value was substantially the same immediately before and after the payment of the special dividend. The modification did not result in additional compensation expense. Given that the Company’s employees participated in the former Parent’s plans, these adjustments are reflected in the “Special dividend adjustment” line in the stock option activity table above.
	As of January 31, 2014 there was $5 million of unrecognized compensation cost, net of estimated forfeitures, related to stock options, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.7 years.
	The following table summarizes activity related to exercises of stock options for each of the years presented, as follows:
			Year ended January 31
			2014			2013			2012
			(in millions)
	Cash received from exercises of stock options		$	—		$	—		$	—
	Stock exchanged at fair value upon exercises of stock options		$	1		$	—		$	4
	Tax benefits realized from exercises of stock options		$	—		$	—		$	1
	Total intrinsic value of options exercised		$	—		$	—		$	2
	The fair value of stock option awards granted prior to the separation under the former Parent’s Plan were valued using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model based on the following assumptions:
	Expected Term—The expected term is derived from former Parent’s historical experience.
	Expected Volatility—The expected volatility is based on an average of the historical volatility of former Parent’s common stock and the implied volatility from traded options on former Parent’s common stock.
	Risk-Free Interest Rate—The risk-free interest rate is based on the yield curve of a zero-coupon U.S. Treasury bond with a maturity equal to the expected term of the stock option on the date of grant.
	Dividend Yield—The dividend yield is based on former Parent’s historical dividend yield level.
	The fair value of stock option awards granted subsequent to the separation under the Company’s Plan were valued using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model based on the following assumptions:
	Expected Term—The expected term is calculated using the SEC “simplified method” as the midpoint between the vesting term and contractual term.
	Expected Volatility—The expected volatility is based on a leverage-adjusted daily average volatility of the Company’s peer group companies over a period consistent with the expected term. Peer group companies were selected from companies within the Company’s industry that most closely match the Company’s business, including size, capital structure, and customer base.
	Risk-Free Interest Rate—The risk-free interest rate is based on the yield curve of a zero-coupon U.S. Treasury bond with a maturity equal to the expected term of the stock option on the date of grant.
	Dividend Yield—The dividend yield assumed over the expected term of the option is based on the announced dividend as of the grant date and the three month average stock price as of the grant date (to the extent available).
The weighted average grant-date fair value and assumptions used to determine the fair value of stock options granted for the periods presented were as follows:
		Year ended January 31
		2014			2013			2012
		(a)(b)
Weighted average grant-date fair value		$	4.18		$	1.81		$	4.21
Expected term (in years)			5			5			4.9
Expected volatility			25.6	%		24.5	%		23.4	%
Risk-free interest rate			0.9	%		1	%		2.2	%
Dividend yield			3.8	%		3.7	%		0	%
(a)	The weighted average grant date fair values of stock options granted by former Parent prior to June 12, 2013, were adjusted to reflect former Parent’s stock option modification for a special dividend. The modification decreased the per share grant date fair value but increased the number of stock options held by the option-holder to preserve the value of the options immediately before and after the special dividend. There was no incremental compensation expense resulting from this modification.
(b)	The weighted average grant date fair values of stock options granted by former Parent prior to the separation date were adjusted for the separation conversion on September 27, 2013.
Vesting Stock Awards

(b)	Transfers from former Parent, net represent the awards of those employees that transferred between the Company and former Parent prior to the separation.
The weighted average grant date fair value of the vesting stock awards granted for the years ended January 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012 was $30.69, $13.13 and $16.92, respectively. As of January 31, 2014 there was $44 million of unrecognized compensation cost, net of estimated forfeitures, related to vesting stock awards, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.9 years. The fair value of vesting stock awards that vested in fiscal 2014, 2013 and 2012 was $18 million, $19 million and $18 million, respectively.

	Note 7—Retirement Plans:
	Defined Contribution Plans
	The Company sponsors the Science Applications International Corporation Retirement Plan (a defined contribution plan), which is both a 401(k) plan and an employee stock ownership plan, in which most employees are eligible to participate. This plan allows eligible participants to contribute a portion of their income through payroll deductions and the Company may also make discretionary contributions. The Company contributions expensed for defined contribution plans was $46 million, $52 million and $54 million in fiscal 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
	Deferred Compensation Plans
	The Company maintains two deferred compensation plans, the Keystaff Deferral Plan (KDP) and the Key Executive Stock Deferral Plan (KESDP), for the benefit of certain management or highly compensated employees or directors and allows eligible participants to elect to defer all or a portion of their annual bonus, sign-on bonus or certain other bonuses. Directors may also elect to defer their director fees. The Company makes no contributions to the KDP but maintains participant accounts for deferred amounts and interest earned. Interest is accrued based on the Moody’s Seasoned Corporate Bond Rate less 1% (3.08% during fiscal 2014). Deferred balances are generally paid upon termination. Under the KESDP, eligible participants may elect to defer in share units all or a portion of their bonus awards granted under the 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (see Note 6). The Company makes no contributions to the accounts of KESDP participants. Benefits from the KESDP are payable in shares of the Company’s stock that may be held in a trust for the purpose of funding benefit payments to KESDP participants. Deferred balances will generally be paid upon retirement based upon the participant’s payout election or termination.
	The Company also sponsors a 401(k) Excess Deferral Plan (Excess Plan) for the benefit of certain management or highly compensated employees that allows participants to elect to defer up to 20% of their eligible salary once the participant has met the contribution limit imposed on the Science Applications International Corporation Retirement Plan. The Company makes matching contribution to participants who have received a reduced Company contribution in the Science Applications International Corporation Retirement Plan due to the participant’s deferral of salary into the Excess Plan.

Income Taxes	'
	Note 8—Income Taxes:
	Pre-Separation
	The Company’s operations have historically been included in former Parent’s U.S. federal and state income tax returns and all income taxes have been paid by former Parent. Income taxes are presented in these financial statements on a separate tax return basis as if the Company filed its own tax returns. Income tax liabilities through the date of separation are assumed to be immediately settled with former Parent against the former Parent company investment account.
	Post-Separation
	Substantially all of the Company’s income before income taxes for the three years ended January 31, 2014 is subject to taxation in the United States. The provision for income taxes for each of the three years ended January 31, 2014 included the following:
		Year ended January 31
		2014			2013			2012
		(in millions)
	Current:
	Federal and foreign	$	40		$	73		$	105
	State		5			13			20
	Deferred:
	Federal and foreign		13			11			(8	)
	State		5			2			(1	)
	Total	$	63		$	99		$	116
	A reconciliation of the provision for income taxes to the amount computed by applying the statutory federal income tax rate to income before income taxes for each of the three years ended January 31, 2014 follows:
		Year ended January 31
		2014			2013			2012
		(in millions)
	Amount computed at the statutory federal income tax rate (35%)	$	62		$	99		$	106

	Total	$	63		$	99		$	116
	Effective income tax rate		35.8	%		35.2	%		38.9	%
	The effective income tax rate for fiscal 2014 is consistent with fiscal 2013. The lower effective income tax rate for fiscal 2013 when compared to fiscal 2012 was primarily due to a change in the estimated deductible amount of a prior year legal settlement and the tax deductibility of quarterly dividends paid, beginning fiscal 2013, on shares held by the Science Applications International Corporation Retirement Plan.
	Deferred income taxes are recorded for differences in the basis of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and tax reporting purposes. Deferred tax assets (liabilities) were comprised of the following:
		January 31,
		2014			2013
		(in millions)
	Accrued vacation and bonuses	$	23		$	28

	Net non-current deferred tax assets		1			18
	Total net deferred tax assets (liabilities)	$	(14	)	$	2
	In September 2013, the U.S. Treasury Department released final income tax regulations on the deduction and capitalization of expenditures related to tangible property. These final regulations apply to tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2014. The Company does not expect its impact from the implementation of these regulations to be material.
	The Company is not responsible for any tax items on operations before the separation on September 27, 2013.
	The changes in the unrecognized tax benefits, excluding accrued interest and penalties, were as follows:
		January 31,
		2014			2013			2012
		(in millions)
	Unrecognized tax benefits at beginning of the year	$	5		$	5		$	6
	Additions for tax positions related to prior years		—			1			1
	Reductions for tax positions as a result of spin-off		(5	)		—			(1	)
	Settlements with tax authorities		—			(1	)		—
Lapse of statute of limitations		—			—			(1	)
Unrecognized tax benefits at end of the year	$	—		$	5		$	5
Unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the effective income tax rate	$	—		$	4		$	4
In fiscal 2014, the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits decreased due to the separation from former Parent. Tax liabilities prior to the separation are the responsibility of former Parent.
In fiscal 2012, the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits decreased due to the expiration of statute of limitations on $1 million of tax contingencies which were recognized as income tax benefit in fiscal 2012.
For the periods presented, there was no significant amount of accrued interest and penalties recognized in the consolidated and combined balance sheets and statements of income and comprehensive income. Tax interest and tax penalties, if any, would be included in income tax expense.
Subsequent to the separation from former Parent, the Company continues to assess its deferred tax assets and liabilities, net of uncertain tax positions that were transferred to Company by former Parent as a result of the separation transaction. During the current quarter, the Company recorded an increase to its deferred tax assets as a result of continued analysis and clarification of terms of the tax separation agreement related to the corresponding uncertain tax position. The increases related to these positions were recorded through an adjustment to additional paid-in capital as they were related to activity which occurred prior to the separation.
The balance of unrecognized tax benefits at January 31, 2013 included liabilities for uncertain tax positions of $5 million, all of which were classified as other long-term liabilities on the combined balance sheet. The balance of unrecognized tax benefits at January 31, 2012 included liabilities for uncertain tax positions of $5 million, $4 million, of which were classified as other long-term liabilities on the consolidated and combined balance sheet.
Beginning with fiscal 2014, the Company will file income tax returns in the U.S. and various state and foreign jurisdictions and may be subject to routine compliance reviews by the IRS and other taxing authorities. While the Company believes it has adequate accruals for uncertain tax positions, the tax authorities may determine that the Company owes taxes in excess of recorded accruals or the recorded accruals may be in excess of the final settlement amounts agreed to by tax authorities.

	Total long-term debt, net of current portion				$	489	$	1
	The Company has a $700 million credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) between the Company, as borrower, and Citibank, N.A. (“Citibank”), as administrative agent. The Credit Agreement consists of (i) a five-year unsecured revolving credit facility in an initial aggregate borrowing capacity of $200 million (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) and (ii) a five-year unsecured term facility with an initial aggregate principal amount of $500 million (the “Term Loan Facility” and, together with the Revolving Credit Facility, the “Credit Facilities”). The term loan facility was funded in September 2013. The Revolving Credit Facility capacity is available to the Company but no draws have been made.
	Borrowings under the Credit Facilities will bear interest at a variable rate of interest based on 1-month LIBOR (or, in the case of borrowings in euro, EURIBOR) or Citibank’s base rate. Interest rate margins with respect to borrowings under the Credit Agreement range from 1.50% to 2.75% for LIBOR or EURIBOR loans and 0.50% to 1.75%, for base rate loans. The Company also pays a commitment fee with respect to undrawn amounts under the Revolving Credit Facility ranging from 0.25% to 0.50%. The margin and commitment fees will vary based on the Company’s leverage ratio.
	Monthly interest payments began in October 2013 and quarterly principal payments will begin in October 2014. Borrowings under the Credit Facilities must be repaid in full by September 2018.
	The Credit Agreement contains certain restrictive covenants applicable to the Company and its subsidiaries, which include limitations on the ability to merge or consolidate with other entities, property sale and lease-back transactions and dividend and stock repurchases under certain leverage ratios.
	The Credit Agreement also includes certain financial covenants, which require the maintenance of a Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of not greater than 3.25:1.00 and an Interest Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of at least 3.50:1.00.
	The Credit Agreement also contains certain customary events of default, including, among others, defaults based on certain bankruptcy and insolvency events, nonpayment, cross-defaults to other debt, breach of specified covenants, ERISA events, material monetary judgments, change of control events and the material inaccuracy of the Company’s representations and warranties. If an event of default occurs and is continuing under the Credit Facilities, the Credit Agreement provides that the administrative agent shall at the request, or may with the consent, of the required lenders, terminate the commitments thereunder, declare amounts outstanding, including principal and accrued interest and fees, payable immediately, and enforce any and all rights and interests. As of January 31, 2014, the Company was in compliance with the covenants under the Credit Facilities.

Derivative Instruments Designated as Cash Flow Hedges	'
	Note 10—Derivative Instruments Designated as Cash Flow Hedges:
	The Company is party to fixed interest rate swap agreements that aggregate to the same notional amount and tenor as the Term Loan Facility. These instruments are used to hedge the variability in interest payment cash flows caused by changes in the 1-month LIBOR benchmark interest rate on the variable rate Term Loan Facility and are accounted for as cash flow hedges (see Note 1 for accounting policy). Under the swap agreements, the Company pays a fixed rate of 1.41% and the counterparties to the agreement pay a floating interest rate based on 1-month LIBOR, for which measurement and settlement is performed monthly. The counterparties to these agreements are financial institutions.
	As of January 31, 2014, the fair value of the fixed interest rate swaps was $3 million, which is included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The effective portion of the unrealized change in fair value of these cash flow hedges for the year ended January 31, 2014 was a loss of $2 million, net of tax benefit, which was reported in other comprehensive loss, net of tax. There was no ineffectiveness for the period. The amounts discussed above are also referenced in Note 11 – Changes in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss by Component. The Company estimates that it will reclassify $6 million of unrealized losses from accumulated other comprehensive loss into earnings within the next twelve months.

	Note 15—Legal Proceedings and Other Commitments and Contingencies:
	Legal Proceedings
	National Center for Critical Information Processing and Storage Contract. In June 2009, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) filed a complaint against former Parent and several other defendants in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Mississippi relating to the solicitation and award of a task order to provide IT support services to the National Center for Critical Information Processing and Storage run by the Naval Oceanographic Command Major Shared Resource Center (MSRC) located at the Stennis Space Center in Mississippi. This matter originated with a lawsuit filed under seal by a former government employee pursuant to the qui tam provisions of the civil False Claims Act. Former Parent was awarded the task order at issue in April 2004. The DOJ’s complaint alleged that prior to the release of the task order solicitation, former Parent’s employees and other eventual teammates met with government employees and obtained non-public information not provided to other potential bidders for this work, or received such information in advance of other bidders, giving former Parent and its team an unfair advantage in competing for the task order. The complaint further alleged that the former MSRC director and deputy director took actions calculated to favor former Parent in the bidding process. In September 2011, former Parent and DOJ settled this matter for approximately $25 million and the lawsuit was dismissed in October 2011. A $22 million charge was allocated to the Company for fiscal 2012, representing the settlement amount less the $3 million allocated to the Company for fiscal 2010 relating to this matter.
	Other. The Company is involved in various claims and lawsuits arising in the normal conduct of its business, none of which, in the opinion of the Company’s management, based upon current information, will likely have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
	Government Investigations
	The Company is routinely subject to investigations and reviews relating to compliance with various laws and regulations with respect to its role as a contractor to federal, state and local government customers and in connection with performing services in countries outside of the United States. Adverse findings in these investigations or reviews can lead to criminal, civil or administrative proceedings, and the Company could face penalties, fines, compensatory damages and suspension or debarment from doing business with governmental agencies. Adverse findings could also have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, consolidated and combined financial position, results of operations and cash flows due to its reliance on government contracts.
	U.S. Regulatory Investigations and Reviews
	U.S. government agencies, including the Defense Contract Audit Agency, the Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA) and others, routinely audit and review a contractor’s performance on government contracts, indirect rates and pricing practices, and compliance with applicable contracting and procurement laws, regulations and standards. They also review the adequacy of the contractor’s compliance with government standards for its business systems, including a contractor’s accounting system, earned value management system, estimating system, materials management system, property management system and purchasing system. A finding of significant control deficiencies in a contractor’s business systems or a finding of noncompliance with CAS can result in decremented billing rates to U.S. government customers until the control deficiencies are corrected and their remediation is accepted by the DCMA. Both contractors and the U.S. government agencies conducting these audits and reviews have come under increased scrutiny. As a result, audits and reviews have become more rigorous and the standards to which the Company is held are being more strictly interpreted, increasing the likelihood of an audit or review resulting in an adverse outcome.
	Pursuant to the Distribution Agreement with former Parent and upon the separation date, the former Parent’s recorded liability of $45 million was allocated to the Company in the amount of $18 million and former Parent in the amount of $27 million. This liability represents estimated net amounts to be refunded to customers for potential adjustments for indirect cost audits and compliance with CAS for fiscal 2006 through 2013. Subsequent to the separation, any amounts owed in addition to the $45 million liability for periods prior to separation will be allocated to former Parent and the Company in proportions determined in accordance with the Distribution Agreement. As of January 31, 2014, the Company has recorded a liability of $18 million for its current best estimate of net amounts to be refunded to customers for potential adjustments from such audits or reviews of contract costs.
	Timekeeping Contract with City of New York
	In March 2012, in connection with the resolution of certain investigations related to an automated time and attendance and workforce management system (CityTime) that former Parent developed and implemented for certain New York City agencies, former Parent entered into a three year deferred prosecution agreement (DPA) with the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York. Under the terms of the DPA, the U.S. Attorney’s Office deferred prosecution of a single criminal count against former Parent, and will dismiss the criminal count at the end of a three year period if former Parent complies with the terms of the DPA. Under the DPA, former Parent agreed, among other things, to retain an independent monitor who will report periodically to the U.S. Attorney’s Office and who will have broad authority to monitor and make recommendations on a number of former Parent’s policies and practices. The Company is not subject to the criminal count and the agreement to defer prosecution under the DPA. However, the Company will comply with applicable provisions of the DPA, including retaining an independent monitor and related reporting obligations.
	In August 2012, former Parent entered into an administrative agreement with the U.S. Army on behalf of all agencies of the U.S. government that confirms its continuing eligibility to enter into and perform contracts with the U.S. government. Under the terms of the administrative agreement, former Parent has agreed, among other things, to maintain a contractor responsibility program having the specific elements described in the administrative agreement, including retaining a monitor and providing certain reports to the U.S. Army. The administrative agreement will continue in effect for five years, provided that former Parent may request earlier termination following completion of three years. The Company notified the U.S. Army that it will comply with the obligations set forth in the administrative agreement following the separation. These obligations include retaining an independent monitor and maintaining a similar contractor responsibility program.
	Army Brigade Combat Team Modernization Engineering, Manufacturing and Development (BCTM) Program
	The BCTM program was terminated for convenience by the DoD effective in September 2011. From October 2009 through termination, the Company and its prime contractor performed on this program under an undefinitized change order with a provisional billing rate that allowed the Company to receive a lesser amount of the projected fee than the estimated fee due until completion of the contract negotiations. The Company has recognized revenues of approximately $480 million, including estimated fees, from October 2009 through August 2, 2013 under the undefinitized change order. As of August 2, 2013, the Company had an outstanding receivable of approximately $2 million on this contract. During fiscal 2013, an agreement in principle was reached between the prime contractor and the DoD; however a formal contract modification has not yet been received.
	Letters of Credit and Surety Bonds
	The Company has outstanding obligations relating to letters of credit of $7 million as of January 31, 2014, principally related to guarantees on insurance policies. The Company also has outstanding obligations relating to surety bonds in the amount of $17 million, principally related to performance and payment bonds on the Company’s contracts. The letters of credit and surety bonds initially were obtained by former Parent and the Company is required to satisfy these obligations under the terms of the Distribution Agreement between the Company and former Parent.

See Note 2—Earnings Per Share (EPS), Share Repurchases and Dividends for additional information related to the Company’s EPS calculations.

Overview	'
	Overview
	Separation from former Parent. Science Applications International Corporation commenced operations on September 27, 2013 (the Distribution Date) following completion of a spin-off transaction from its former parent company, Leidos Holdings, Inc. (formerly SAIC, Inc.) (collectively with its consolidated subsidiaries, “former Parent”). In the spin-off transaction, the former Parent’s technical, engineering and enterprise information technology (IT) services business was separated into an independent, publicly traded company named Science Applications International Corporation (formerly SAIC Gemini, Inc.) (collectively, with its consolidated subsidiaries, the “Company”).
	To effect the spin-off transaction, the Company’s common stock was distributed on the Distribution Date to former Parent stockholders of record on a pro-rata basis with each former Parent stockholder receiving one share of the Company’s common stock for every seven shares of former Parent common stock. The Company’s Registration Statement on Form 10 relating to the spin-off transaction was declared effective with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on September 10, 2013. The Company’s common stock began trading on the New York Stock Exchange on September 30, 2013 under the symbol “SAIC.”
	In order to govern certain ongoing relationships between the Company and former Parent following the separation and to provide mechanisms for an orderly transition, the companies executed various agreements that govern the separation. The agreements include the Distribution Agreement, Employee Matters Agreement, Tax Matters Agreement, Master Transition Services Agreement (MTSA), and Master Transitional Contracting Agreement (MTCA). These agreements generally provide that each party is responsible for its respective assets, liabilities and obligations, including employee benefits, insurance and tax-related assets and liabilities. Contingent losses that were unknown at the time of separation and arise from the operation of the Company’s historical business or the former Parent’s corporate losses will be shared between the parties to the extent that losses in any such category exceed $50 million in the aggregate. If they arise and exceed the $50 million threshold, the Company will be responsible for 30% of the former Parent’s incremental contingent losses on corporate claims (and former Parent will be responsible for 70% of the Company’s incremental losses on claims relating to operations that exceed $50 million).
	In accordance with the MTCA, former Parent agreed to seek the U.S. government’s approval to novate all of the contracts with the U.S. government under which the Company primarily is obligated to fulfill the remaining terms. Under the terms of the MTCA, former Parent is obligated to remit to the Company all proceeds it receives for work performed by the Company until novation occurs, after which the Company may directly bill and collect from the U.S. government. The MTCA also governs the relationship between the Company and former Parent pending novation and assignment of contracts to the Company and addresses the treatment of existing contracts, proposals, and teaming arrangements where both companies will jointly perform work after separation. Each of the Company and former Parent indemnify the other party for work performed by it under the MTCA.
	Description of Business. The Company is a leading provider of technical, engineering and enterprise IT services to the U.S. government, including the Department of Defense (DoD) and federal civilian agencies. The Company provides systems engineering and integration services for large, complex government projects and offers a broad range of services with a targeted emphasis on higher-end, differentiated technology services.
	The Company operates in two segments, which provide comprehensive service offerings across its customer base. The Company’s technical and engineering offerings include engineering and maintenance of ground and maritime systems, logistics, training and simulation, as well as operation and program support services. The Company’s enterprise IT offerings include end-to-end enterprise IT services which span the design, development, integration, deployment, management and operation, sustainment and security of its customers’ entire IT infrastructure. As discussed in Note 14—Business Segment Information, these segments have been aggregated into one reporting segment for financial reporting purposes.
Principles of Consolidation and Combination and Basis of Presentation	'
	Principles of Consolidation and Combination and Basis of Presentation
	Prior to the separation, the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows consisted of the technical, engineering and enterprise IT services businesses of former Parent, which represented a combined reporting entity. The assets and liabilities in the Company’s consolidated and combined balance sheet for fiscal 2013 have been reflected on a historical basis, as immediately prior to the separation all of the assets and liabilities presented were wholly owned by former Parent.
	The Company’s combined statements of income and comprehensive income, and cash flows for fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2012 and the Company’s combined balance sheet for fiscal 2013 consist entirely of the combined results of the technical, engineering and enterprise IT services businesses of former Parent.
	Subsequent to the separation, the Company’s consolidated and combined statements of income and comprehensive income and cash flows for fiscal 2014 consists of both the combined results of the technical, engineering and enterprise IT services businesses of former Parent through the Distribution Date and the Company’s consolidated results subsequent to the Distribution Date. The Company’s consolidated balance sheet at January 31, 2014 consists of the Company’s consolidated balances. On and prior to September 27, 2013, the consolidated and combined financial statements were prepared from separate records maintained by the Company’s former parent and may not necessarily be indicative of the conditions that would have existed or the results of operations of the Company had it been operated as an independent entity.
	References to “financial statements” refer to the consolidated and combined financial statements of the Company, which include the statements of income and comprehensive income, balance sheets, statements of equity and statements of cash flows. These financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). All intercompany transactions and account balances within the Company have been eliminated.
Correction of Balance Sheet Classification	'
	Correction of Balance Sheet Classification
	Subsequent to the issuance of the Company’s financial statements for the year ended January 31, 2013, the Company’s management discovered an error in the balance sheet presentation of certain customer payments received. Such payments were incorrectly classified as collections in excess of revenues (a current liability) instead of as a reduction to unbilled accounts receivable (a current asset). As a result, current and total liabilities, and current and total assets were overstated by $26 million. The balance sheet as of January 31, 2013 has been restated to correct for this classification error. This error had no effect on the Company’s consolidated and combined statements of income and comprehensive income or the consolidated and combined statements of equity. In addition, total cash flows, including total cash flows from operating activities, were not affected.
Use of Estimates	'
	Use of Estimates
	The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingencies at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Management evaluates these estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis, including those related to allowances for doubtful accounts, inventories, fair value and impairment of intangible assets and goodwill, income taxes, estimated profitability of long-term contracts, stock-based compensation expense, contingencies and litigation. Estimates have been prepared by management on the basis of the most current and best available information at the time of estimation and actual results could differ from those estimates.
Reporting Periods	'
	Reporting Periods
	Unless otherwise noted, references to fiscal years are to fiscal years ended January 31 (for fiscal 2013 and earlier periods), or fiscal years ended the Friday closest to January 31 (for fiscal 2014 and later periods). For fiscal 2013, the Company’s interim fiscal quarters ended on the last calendar day of each of April, July and October. Effective in fiscal 2014, the Company changed its fiscal year to a 52/53 week fiscal year ending on the Friday closest to January 31, with fiscal quarters typically consisting of 13 weeks. Fiscal 2014 began on February 1, 2013 and ended on January 31, 2014. The Company does not believe that the change in its fiscal year has a material effect on the comparability of the periods presented.
Corporate Allocations	'
	Corporate Allocations
	Pre-Separation. The statements of income and comprehensive income reflect allocations of general corporate expenses from former Parent including, but not limited to, costs associated with executive management, finance, legal, IT, human resources, employee benefits administration, treasury, risk management, procurement, and other shared services.
	The allocations were made on a direct usage basis when identifiable, with the remainder allocated on the basis of costs incurred, headcount or other appropriate measures. Management of the Company considers these allocations to be a reasonable reflection of the utilization of services by, or the benefits provided to the Company. The allocations may not, however, reflect the expense the Company would have incurred as a stand-alone company prior to the separation. Actual costs that may have been incurred if the Company had been a stand-alone company would depend on a number of factors, including the chosen organizational structure, what functions were outsourced or performed by employees and strategic decisions made in areas such as IT and infrastructure.
	The balance sheet as of January 31, 2013 includes former Parent assets and liabilities that are specifically identifiable or otherwise attributable to the Company. Former Parent’s cash, excluding a minor balance specifically attributable to the Company, has not been assigned to the Company for any of the periods prior to separation because those cash balances are not directly attributable to the Company nor did the Company have a contractual right to acquire that cash in connection with the separation. Former Parent’s senior unsecured notes, and the related interest expense, have not been attributed to the Company for any of the periods presented because former Parent’s borrowings and the related guarantees on such borrowings are not directly attributable to the combined businesses that comprise the Company. The Company did not assume any of former Parent’s borrowings or the related guarantees upon completion of the separation.
	Former Parent historically used a centralized approach to cash management and financing of its operations. Transactions between the Company and former Parent were considered to be effectively settled for cash at the time the transaction was recorded. The net effect of these transactions is included in the consolidated and combined statements of cash flows as Net transfers to former Parent.
	Post-Separation. Following the separation from former Parent, the Company performs functions that were previously performed by former Parent using internal resources and purchased services, some of which may be provided by former Parent during a transitional period pursuant to the MTSA.
Revenue Recognition	'
	Revenue Recognition
	The Company’s revenues are generated primarily from contracts with the U.S. government, commercial customers, and various international, state and local governments or from subcontracts with other contractors engaged in work with such customers. The Company performs under various types of contracts, which include firm-fixed-price (FFP), time-and-materials (T&M), fixed-price-level-of-effort (FP-LOE), cost-plus-fixed-fee, cost-plus-award-fee and cost-plus-incentive-fee contracts.
	FFP contracts—Revenues and fees on these contracts that are system integration or engineering in nature are primarily recognized using the percentage-of-completion method of accounting utilizing the cost-to-cost method.
	T&M contracts—Revenue is recognized on T&M contracts with the U.S. government using the percentage-of-completion method of accounting utilizing an output measure of progress. Revenue is recognized on T&M contracts with non-U.S. government customers using a proportional performance method. Under both of these methods, revenue is recognized based on the hours provided in performance under the contract multiplied by the negotiated contract billing rates, plus the negotiated contract billing rate of any allowable material and subcontract costs and out-of-pocket expenses.
	FP-LOE contracts—These contracts are substantially similar to T&M contracts except they require a specified level of effort over a stated period of time. Accordingly, the Company recognizes revenue on FP-LOE contracts with the U.S. government in a manner similar to T&M contracts in which the Company measures progress toward completion based on the hours provided in performance under the contract multiplied by the negotiated contract billing rates, plus the negotiated contract billing rate of any allowable material costs and out-of-pocket expenses.
	Cost-plus-fixed-fee contracts—Revenue is recognized on cost-plus-fixed-fee contracts with the U.S. government on the basis of partial performance equal to costs incurred, plus an estimate of applicable fees earned as the Company becomes contractually entitled to reimbursement of costs and the applicable fees.
	Cost-plus-award-fee/cost-plus-incentive fee contracts—Revenues and fees on these contracts with the U.S. government are primarily recognized using the percentage-of-completion method of accounting, most often based on the cost-to-cost method. The Company includes an estimate of the ultimate incentive or award fee to be received on the contract in the estimate of contract revenues for purposes of applying the percentage-of-completion method of accounting.
	Revenues from services and maintenance contracts, notwithstanding contract type, are recognized over the term of the respective contracts as the services are performed and revenue is earned. Revenues from unit-priced contracts are recognized as transactions are processed based on objective measures of output. Revenues from the sale of manufactured products are recorded upon passage of title and risk of loss to the customer, which is generally upon delivery, provided that all other requirements for revenue recognition have been met.
	The Company also uses the efforts-expended method of percentage-of-completion accounting using measures such as labor dollars for measuring progress toward completion in situations in which this approach is more representative of the progress on the contract. For example, the efforts-expended method is utilized when there are significant amounts of materials or hardware procured for the contract that is not representative of progress on the contract. Additionally, the Company utilizes the units-of-delivery method on contracts where separate units of output are produced. Under the units-of-delivery method, revenue is generally recognized when the units are delivered to the customer, provided that all other requirements for revenue recognition have been met.
	The Company evaluates its contracts for multiple elements, and when appropriate, separates the contracts into separate units of accounting for revenue recognition.
	The Company provides for anticipated losses on contracts by recording an expense during the period in which the losses are determined. Amounts billed and collected but not yet recognized as revenues under certain types of contracts are deferred. Contract costs incurred for U.S. government contracts, including indirect costs, are subject to audit and adjustment through negotiations between the Company and government representatives. Revenues on U.S. government contracts have been recorded in amounts that are expected to be realized upon final settlement of indirect contract costs.
	Contract claims are unanticipated additional costs incurred but not provided for in the executed contract price that the Company seeks to recover from the customer. Such costs are expensed as incurred. Additional revenue related to contract claims is recognized when the amounts are awarded by the customer. In certain situations, primarily where the Company is not the primary obligor on certain elements of a contract the Company recognizes as revenue the net management fee associated with the services and excludes from its income statement the gross sales and costs associated with the facility or other vendors’ products.
Changes in Estimates on Contracts	'
	Changes in Estimates on Contracts
	Changes in estimates related to contracts accounted for using the cost-to-cost percentage-of-completion method of accounting are recognized in the period in which such changes are made for the inception-to-date effect of the changes. Changes in these estimates can routinely occur over the contract performance period for a variety of reasons, including changes in contract scope, changes in contract cost estimates due to unanticipated cost growth or retirements of risk for amounts different than estimated, and changes in estimated incentive or award fees. Changes in contract estimates were as follows:
		Year ended January 31
		2014			2013			2012
		(in millions, except
		per share amounts)
	Favorable adjustments	$	22		$	22		$	25
	Unfavorable adjustments		(26	)		(24	)		(16	)
	Net favorable (unfavorable) adjustments		(4	)		(2	)		9
	Income Tax Effect		1			1			(3	)
	Net favorable (unfavorable) adjustments, after tax		(3	)		(1	)		6
	Basic earnings per share impact	$	(0.05	)	$	(0.03	)	$	0.12
	Diluted earnings per share impact	$	(0.05	)	$	(0.03	)	$	0.12
Separation Transaction and Restructuring Expenses	'
	Separation Transaction and Restructuring Expenses
	For the periods presented, separation transaction and restructuring expenses were as follows:
		Year ended January 31
		2014			2013
		(in millions)
	Lease termination and facility consolidation expense	$	20		$	—
	Strategic advisory services		15			17
	Legal and accounting services		10			5
	Investment banking services		9			3
	Severence costs		4			3
	Separation transaction and restructuring expense	$	58		$	28
	In connection with the separation transaction, the Company took actions to reduce its real estate footprint by vacating facilities that were not necessary for its future requirements, which resulted in lease termination and facility consolidation expenses. Also, the Company obtained services for strategic advisory, legal and accounting, and investment banking. The Company also reduced headcount in preparation for the separation, which resulted in severance costs. As of January 31, 2014, the Company has expensed substantially all costs associated with announced severance plans.
Costs Allocated to Contracts	'
	Costs Allocated to Contracts
	The Company classifies indirect costs incurred within or allocated to its U.S. government customers as overhead (included in cost of revenues) or general and administrative expenses in the same manner as such costs are defined in the Company’s disclosure statements under U.S. government Cost Accounting Standards (CAS).
Income Taxes	'
	Income Taxes
	Pre-separation. Prior to the separation, the Company’s operations were historically included in former Parent’s U.S. federal and state income tax returns and all income taxes were paid by former Parent. Income taxes are presented in these financial statements as if the Company filed its own tax returns on a separate tax return basis. Current income tax liabilities are assumed to be immediately settled with former Parent against the former parent company investment account.
	Post-separation. The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method of accounting, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. Under this method, changes in tax rates and laws are recognized in income in the period such changes are enacted. The provision for federal, state, foreign and local income taxes is calculated on income before income taxes based on current tax law and includes the cumulative effect of any changes in tax rates from those used previously in determining deferred tax assets and liabilities. Such provision differs from the amounts currently payable because certain items of income and expense are recognized in different reporting periods for financial reporting purposes than for income tax purposes. Recording the provision for income taxes requires management to make significant judgments and estimates for matters whose ultimate resolution may not become known until the final resolution of an examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) or state agencies. Additionally, recording liabilities for uncertain tax positions involves significant judgment in evaluating the Company’s tax positions and developing the best estimate of the taxes ultimately expected to be paid. We include tax penalties and interest in income tax expense.
	The Company records net deferred tax assets to the extent it believes these assets will more likely than not be realized. In making such determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent results of operations. If it is determined that the Company would be able to realize the deferred income tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount or would no longer be able to realize the deferred income tax assets in the future as currently recorded, an adjustment would be made to the valuation allowance which would decrease or increase the provision for income taxes.
	The Company has also recognized liabilities for uncertain tax positions when it is more likely than not that a tax position will not be sustained upon examination and settlement with various taxing authorities. Liabilities for uncertain tax positions are measured based upon the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement.
Stock-Based Compensation	'
	Stock-Based Compensation
	The Company issues stock-based awards, including stock options and vesting stock awards, as compensation to employees and directors. These awards are accounted for as equity awards. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense net of estimated forfeitures on a straight-line basis over the underlying award’s requisite service period, as measured using the award’s grant-date fair value. The Company estimates forfeitures using former Parent’s historical experience. As discussed in Note 6—Stock-Based Compensation, at separation all former Parent stock-based awards held by Company employees were converted into awards of the stock-based compensation plans sponsored by the Company.
Cash and Cash Equivalents	'
	Cash and Cash Equivalents
	The Company’s cash equivalents are comprised of cash in banks and highly liquid instruments, primarily consisting of investments in institutional money market funds which invest primarily in short-term debt securities. The Company does not invest in high yield or high risk securities. Cash in bank accounts at times may exceed federally insured limits. There are no restrictions on the withdrawal of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents.
Receivables	'
	Receivables
	The Company’s accounts receivable include both receivables billed to customers and unbilled receivables, which consist of costs and fees billable upon contract completion or the occurrence of a specified event, substantially all of which is expected to be billed and collected within one year. Unbilled receivables are stated at estimated realizable value. Since the Company’s receivables are primarily with the U.S. government, the Company does not have a material credit risk exposure. Contract retentions are billed when we have negotiated final indirect rates with the U.S. government and, once billed, are subject to audit and approval by government representatives. Consequently, the timing of collection of retention balances is outside our control. Based on our historical experience, the majority of retention balances are expected to be collected beyond one year and write-offs of retention balances have not been significant. Contract claims are anticipated additional costs incurred but not provided for in the executed contract price that the Company seeks to recover from the customer. Such costs are expensed as incurred. Revenue related to contract claims is recognized when the contract price is adjusted by the customer.
Concentration of Credit Risk	'
	Concentration of Credit Risk
	Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk primarily consist of accounts receivable. Although credit risk is limited, the Company’s receivables are concentrated with its principal customers, which are the various agencies of the U.S. government and customers engaged in work for the U.S. government.
Pre-contract Costs	'
	Pre-contract Costs
	Costs incurred on projects as pre-contract costs are deferred as assets (inventory, prepaid expenses and other current assets) when the Company has been requested by the customer to begin work under a new arrangement prior to contract execution and it is probable that the Company will recover the costs through the issuance of a contract. When the formal contract has been executed, the costs are recorded to the contract and revenue is recognized.
Inventories	'
	Inventories
	Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or estimated net realizable value. Raw material inventory is valued using the average cost or first-in, first-out methods. Work-in-process inventory includes raw material costs plus labor costs, including fringe benefits, and allocable overhead costs. Finished goods inventory consists primarily of purchased finished goods for resale to customers, such as tires and lubricants. The Company evaluates inventory against historical and planned usage to determine appropriate provisions for obsolete inventory.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets	'
	Goodwill and Intangible Assets
	The Company evaluates goodwill for potential impairment annually at the beginning of the fourth quarter, or whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable. The goodwill impairment test is a two-step process performed at the reporting unit level. The first step consists of estimating the fair values of each of the reporting units based on a market approach. Fair value computed using this method is determined using a number of factors, including projected future operating results and business plans, economic projections, anticipated future cash flows, comparable market data based on industry grouping, and the cost of capital. The estimated fair values are compared with the carrying values of the reporting units. If the fair value is less than the carrying value of a reporting unit, which includes the allocated goodwill, a second step is performed to compute the amount of the impairment by determining an implied fair value of goodwill. The implied fair value of goodwill is the residual fair value derived by deducting the fair value of a reporting unit’s identifiable assets and liabilities from its estimated fair value calculated in the first step. The impairment expense represents the excess of the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill over the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill.
	The Company faces uncertainty in its business environment due to the substantial fiscal and economic challenges facing the U.S. government, its primary customer. Adverse changes, such as the manner in which budget cuts are implemented, including sequestration, and issues related to the nation’s debt ceiling, could negatively impact the Company’s expected future operating results and potentially result in an impairment of goodwill.
	Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized using the method that best reflects how their economic benefits are utilized or, if a pattern of economic benefits cannot be reliably determined, on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Intangible assets with finite lives are assessed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.
Property, Plant and Equipment	'
	Property, Plant and Equipment
	Property, plant, and equipment are carried at cost net of accumulated depreciation. Purchases of property, plant and equipment as well as costs associated with major renewals and betterments are capitalized. Maintenance, repairs and minor renewals and betterments are expensed as incurred. When assets are sold or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation or amortization are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is recognized. Depreciation is recognized using the methods and estimated useful lives as follows:
		Depreciation method		Estimated useful lives (in years)
	Equipment	Straight-line or declining-balance		10-Mar
	Building	Straight-line		40
	Software licenses and capitalized software	Straight-line		7
	Building improvements and leasehold improvements	Straight-line		Shorter of lease term or 12
Impairment of Long-lived Assets	'
	Impairment of Long-lived Assets
	The Company evaluates its long-lived assets for potential impairment whenever there is evidence that events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable and the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its estimated future undiscounted cash flows. When the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its estimated future undiscounted cash flows, an impairment loss is recognized to reduce the asset’s carrying amount to its estimated fair value based on the present value of its estimated future cash flows.
Commitments and Contingencies	'
	Commitments and Contingencies
	Accruals for commitments and loss contingencies are recorded when it is both probable that they will occur and the amounts can be reasonably estimated. In addition, legal fees are accrued for cases where a loss is probable and the related fees can be reasonably estimated. Significant judgment is required to determine both probability and the estimated amount of loss. The Company reviews these accruals quarterly and adjusts the accruals to reflect the impact of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel, and other updated information.
Former Parent Company Investment	'
	Former Parent Company Investment
	Former Parent company investment represents former Parent’s historical investment in the Company, the net effect of cost allocations from transactions with former Parent, net transfers of cash and assets between the Company and former Parent and the Company’s accumulated earnings prior to the separation. See Note 5 – Related Party Transactions and former Parent Company Investment for a further description of the transactions between the Company and former Parent.
Derivative Instruments Designated as Cash Flow Hedges	'
	Derivative Instruments Designated as Cash Flow Hedges
	The Company uses fixed interest rate swaps to manage risks associated with interest rate fluctuations on its floating rate debt. The Company is party to fixed interest rate swap instruments that have been designated and accounted for as cash flow hedges. Derivative instruments are recorded on the consolidated and combined balance sheet at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on derivatives designated as cash flow hedges are reported in other comprehensive (loss) income and reclassified to earnings in a manner that matches the timing of the earnings impact of the hedged transactions. The ineffective portion of all hedges, if any, is recognized immediately in earnings.
	The Company’s fixed interest rate swaps are considered over-the-counter derivatives, and fair value is calculated using a standard pricing model for interest rate swaps with contractual terms for maturities, amortization and interest rates. Level 2, or market observable inputs, such as yield and credit curves are used within the standard pricing models in order to determine fair value. The fair value is an estimate of the amount that the Company would pay or receive as of a measurement date if the agreements were transferred to a third party or cancelled. See Note 10 – Derivative Instruments Designated as Cash Flow Hedges for further discussion.
Fair Value Measurements	'
	Fair Value Measurements
	The Company utilizes fair value measurement guidance prescribed by GAAP to value its financial instruments. The accounting standard for fair value measurements establishes a three-tier value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows: observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets (Level 1); inputs other than the quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly (Level 2); and unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which requires the Company to develop its own assumptions (Level 3).
	The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and other amounts included in other current assets and current liabilities that meet the definition of a financial instrument approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these amounts. The fair value of the Company’s outstanding debt obligations approximates its carrying value. The fair value of long-term debt is calculated using Level 2 inputs, based on interest rates available for debt with terms and maturities similar to the company’s existing debt arrangements.
Operating Cycle	'
	Operating Cycle
	The Company’s operating cycle for long-term contracts may be greater than one year and is measured by the average time intervening between the inception and the completion of those contracts. Contract-related assets and liabilities are classified as current assets and current liabilities.
Accounting Standards Updates Issued But Not Yet Adopted	'
	Accounting Standards Updates Issued But Not Yet Adopted
	Accounting standards and updates issued but not effective for the Company until after January 31, 2014 are not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations and cash flows.

[1]	The weighted average grant date fair values of stock options granted by former Parent prior to June 12, 2013, were adjusted to reflect former Parent's stock option modification for a special dividend. The modification decreased the per share grant date fair value but increased the number of stock options held by the option-holder to preserve the value of the options immediately before and after the special dividend. There was no incremental compensation expense resulting from this modification.
[2]	The weighted average grant date fair values of stock options granted by former Parent prior to the separation date were adjusted for the separation conversion on September 27, 2013.

[2]	Transfers from former Parent, net represent the awards of those employees that transferred between the Company and former Parent prior to the separation.
[3]	On June 12, 2013, former Parent modified all outstanding stock options in connection with the payment of a special dividend. The modification reduced the exercise prices of the outstanding stock options and increased the number of shares issuable upon the exercise of each option such that the aggregate intrinsic value was substantially the same immediately before and after the payment of the special dividend. The modification did not result in additional compensation expense. Given that the Company's employees participated in the former Parent's plans, these adjustments are reflected in the "Special dividend adjustment" line in the stock option activity table above.

[1]	For periods prior to the separation, basic EPS was calculated using the number of shares of the Company's common stock that were distributed to former Parent shareholders upon separation and diluted EPS was calculated using the number of diluted common share equivalents for stock options and other stock-based awards (consistent with the number calculated immediately following separation). See Note 2-Earnings Per Share (EPS), Share Repurchases and Dividends for additional information related to the Company's EPS calculations. For periods prior to the separation EPS amounts may differ from pro forma amounts previously disclosed which were calculated based on an estimated number of weighted average shares outstanding.
