Business Overview and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Business Overview and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies: Overview Science Applications International Corporation (collectively, with its consolidated subsidiaries, and herein referred to as "SAIC," the “Company,” "we," "us," or "our") is a leading provider of technical, engineering and enterprise information technology (IT) services primarily to the U.S. government. The Company provides these services for large, complex projects with a targeted emphasis on higher-end, differentiated technology services and solutions that accelerate and transform secure and resilient digital environments through system development, modernization, integration, and sustainment to drive enterprise and mission outcomes. The Company is organized as a matrix comprised of two customer facing operating sectors supported by an enterprise solutions and operations organization. The Company's operating sectors are aggregated into one reportable segment for financial reporting purposes. Each of the Company’s two customer facing operating sectors is focused on providing both (1) growth and technology accelerating solutions and (2) core service offerings to one or more agencies of the U.S. federal government. Growth and technology accelerating solutions include the delivery of secure cloud modernization, outcome based enterprise IT as-a-service, and the integration, production and modernization of defense systems. Core service offerings include systems engineering, the operation and maintenance of existing IT systems and networks, and logistics and supply chain solutions. Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation The accompanying financial information was prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for interim reporting purposes. References to “financial statements” refer to the condensed and consolidated 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. The financial statements are unaudited, but in the opinion of management include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation thereof. The results reported in these financial statements are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the entire year and should be read in conjunction with the information contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 3, 2023. 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. Significant estimates inherent in the preparation of the financial statements may include, but are not limited to estimated profitability of long-term contracts, income taxes, fair value measurements, fair value of goodwill and other intangible assets, pension and defined benefit plan obligations, and contingencies. 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 The Company utilizes a 52/53 week fiscal year ending on the Friday closest to January 31, with fiscal quarters typically consisting of 13 weeks. Fiscal 2024 began on February 4, 2023 and ends on February 2, 2024, while fiscal 2023 began on January 29, 2022 and ended on February 3, 2023. Operating Cycle The Company’s operating cycle may be greater than one year and is measured by the average time intervening between the inception and the completion of contracts. Derivative Instruments Designated as Cash Flow Hedges Derivative instruments are recorded on the condensed and consolidated balance sheets at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on derivatives designated as cash flow hedges are reported in other comprehensive income (loss) and reclassified to earnings in a manner that matches the timing of the earnings impact of the hedged transactions. 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. See Note 8 for further discussion on the Company’s derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges. Marketable Securities Investments in marketable securities consist of equity securities, which are recorded at fair value using observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets (Level 1). As of May 5, 2023 and February 3, 2023, the fair value of the Company's investments totaled $29 million and $28 million, respectively, and are included in other assets on the condensed and consolidated balance sheets. The Company's investments are primarily held in a custodial account, which includes investments to fund its deferred compensation plan liabilities. Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash to amounts reported on the condensed and consolidated balance sheets for the periods presented: May 5, February 3, (in millions) Cash and cash equivalents $ 422 $ 109 Restricted cash included in inventory, prepaid expenses and other current assets 5 5 Restricted cash included in other assets 4 4 Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash $ 431 $ 118 Acquisition and Integration Costs Acquisition-related costs that are not part of the purchase price consideration are generally expensed as incurred, except for certain costs that are deferred in connection with the issuance of debt. These costs typically include transaction-related costs, such as finder’s fees, legal, accounting, and other professional costs. Integration-related costs represent costs directly related to combining the Company and its acquired businesses. Integration-related costs typically include strategic consulting services, facility consolidations, employee-related costs, such as retention and severance, costs to integrate information technology infrastructure, enterprise planning systems, processes, and other non-recurring integration-related costs. Acquisition and integration costs are presented together as acquisition and integration costs on the condensed and consolidated statements of income. The amounts recognized in acquisition and integration costs on the condensed and consolidated statements of income are as follows: Three Months Ended April 29, (in millions) Acquisition (1) $ (1) Integration 10 Total acquisition and integration costs $ 9 (1) Acquisition expenses for the three months ended April 29, 2022 relate to the acquisition of Koverse. Restructuring During the three months ended May 5, 2023, the Company incurred $1 million of restructuring costs associated with the optimization and consolidation of certain facilities. These costs are presented within selling, general and administrative expenses on the condensed and consolidated statements of income. Investments in Equity Securities The Company invests in certain companies that advance or develop new technologies applicable to its business. The Company also occasionally forms joint ventures as a part of its investment strategy for the purpose of bidding and executing on specific projects. Each investment is evaluated for consolidation under the variable interest entities (VIEs) model and/or the voting interest model. The results of these investments are not material to the unaudited condensed and consolidated financial statements for the periods presented. The Company applies the equity method of accounting to its unconsolidated investments when it has the ability to exercise significant influence over the entity and recognizes its proportionate share of the entities’ net income or loss within other operating income on the condensed and consolidated statements of income. Equity investments in entities over which the Company does not have the ability to exercise significant influence and whose securities do not have a readily determinable fair value are carried at cost or cost net of other-than-temporary impairments. Accounting Standards Updates In September 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2022-04, Liabilities—Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50) , which requires annual and interim disclosures for entities that use supplier finance programs in connection with the purchase of goods and services. The new standard does not affect the recognition, measurement or financial statement presentation of supplier finance program obligations. These amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, except for the requirement to provide rollforward information, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted the requirements of ASU 2022-04 effective the first day of fiscal 2024. |
