Strong Bookings of $4.0 Billion

Revenue Growth of 1% in Constant Currency

Diluted EPS of $0.26

Substantial YoY Improvement to Free Cash Flow

    FALLS CHURCH, Va., August 8 – CSC (NYSE: CSC) today reported first quarter 2013 diluted earnings of $0.26 per share, compared with diluted earnings of $1.17 per share in the first quarter of 2012 which included a one-time tax benefit of approximately $0.78 cents. Total revenue was $3.96 billion compared to $4.03 billion in the same period of last year.

Financial Highlights

• New business awards of $4.0 billion.
• Total revenue of $3.96 billion decreased by 2% on a reported basis and increased by 1% in constant currency when compared to the prior year.
• Operating margin of 4.6% increased by 16 basis points from the previous year and includes a restructuring charge of $27 million.

“Our first quarter performance reflects a first step in turning around CSC. While there is significant work ahead of us, I am pleased with our initial progress on operating margins and free cash flow,” said Mike Lawrie, President and CEO. “We have launched several action plans which will transform the company over the next several years and create value for our shareholders. As part of this transformation agenda, we are bringing a much needed focus to greater contract management discipline across the company. We are also simplifying our operating model to realize greater productivity and operational efficiency. We are attacking our cost structure and we expect to realize about $1 billion in cost improvement over the next 18 months.”

Lines of Business

    Managed Services Sector (MSS) revenue of $1.64 billion increased by 1% from the first quarter of last year and increased 5% in constant currency, mainly due to new contracts and the AppLabs acquisition.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The following tables reconcile operating income, earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) and free cash flow to the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. CSC management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors regarding the Company's financial condition and results of operations as they provide another measure of the Company's profitability and ability to service its debt, and are considered important measures by financial analysts covering CSC and its peers.

Management uses operating income to evaluate business unit financial performance and it is one of the measures used in assessing management performance. One of the limitations associated with the use of operating income (as compared to reported earnings) is that it does not reflect the complete financial results of the Company. CSC compensates for these limitations by providing reconciliation between operating income and income before taxes. Management uses free cash flow as one of the factors in reviewing the overall performance of the business. Management compensates for the limitations of this non-GAAP measure by also reviewing the GAAP measures of operating, investing and financing cash flows as well as debt levels measured by the debt-to-total capitalization ratio.

GAAP Reconciliations

CSC defines operating income as revenue less costs of services, depreciation and amortization expense, restructuring costs and segment general and administrative (G&A) expense, excluding corporate G&A.
