SRA Announces Financial Results for First
Quarter of Fiscal Year 2009
| • | | Revenue up 8% year over year to $392 million |
| • | | Diluted EPS of $0.27 including effects of acquisitions and divestitures |
| • | | $805 million of contract awards |
| • | | Reaffirming FY09 revenue guidance; reducing earnings guidance |
FAIRFAX, Va. – November 5, 2008 – SRA International, Inc. (NYSE: SRX), a leading provider of technology and strategic consulting services and solutions to government organizations, today announced operating results for the first quarter of fiscal year (FY) 2009, which ended September 30, 2008.
Revenue for the quarter was $392.4 million, up 8% from $364.1 million in the September 2007 quarter. Operating income for the quarter was $25.3 million, for an operating margin of 6.5%. Net income was $15.4 million, for a net margin of 3.9%. Diluted earnings per share for the quarter were $0.27, down $0.04 year over year.
These first quarter financial results include the effect of the Interface & Control Systems acquisition as of July 2, the Era Corporation acquisition as of July 30, and the Constella Futures divestiture as of September 2.
The first quarter results include a $1.9 million non-operating gain from the sale of Futures, while operating profits from the Futures and Era businesses were lower than expected.
SRA is reaffirming its FY09 annual revenue guidance range of $1.54 billion to $1.60 billion. As a result of political and economic turmoil in Era’s international customer set, SRA is anticipating delays in new product orders. SRA has reduced its range of earnings guidance for the year by $0.13 at the high end and $0.18 at the low end. Thus the new guidance for diluted earnings per share is $1.12 to $1.22.
SRA President and CEO Stan Sloane said, “Our first quarter contract awards demonstrate solid progress in the core services business. Our diversified customer portfolio, with strategically valuable exposure to federal civilian agencies including public health customers, gives us confidence in our long-term outlook, particularly in light of yesterday’s elections.”
“On the product side, particularly in the Era business, we’re anticipating delays in signing new orders. This is not unusual in a product business, particularly in light of the global political and economic situation. While we’re disappointed with the situation, we continue to have high expectations for our integrated technology and services strategy going forward.”
CFO and Executive Vice President of Operations Steve Hughes added, “Our FY09 forecast is essentially unchanged for the core services business, but the delays we are anticipating in our products business would have a substantial effect on the timing of our earnings, leading to the reduction in earnings guidance.”
New Business Awards
The Company won new business in the first quarter with potential value of $805 million, if all options are exercised. As of September 30, 2008, the Company’s backlog of signed business orders was $4.2 billion, an increase of 3.5% year-over-year. Funded backlog increased 11% year-over-year to $840 million.

Major highlights of competitive contract awards in the quarter include:
| • | | Small Business Administration (SBA), Loan Management and Accounting System (LMAS). SRA was awarded a ten-year blanket purchase agreement worth up to $250 million to replace and modernize SBA’s LMAS system. Three task orders have been awarded to date with a combined value of $26 million. |
| • | | Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Cyber Security Management Center (CSMC). The FAA awarded SRA a five-year, $56 million contract to support the CSMC, which is established as the focal point for information security incident prevention and analysis for the Department of Transportation. Cybersecurity, information assurance and infrastructure protection are areas of critical and growing need across the Company’s customer base. |
| • | | U.S. Air Force, Information Operations/Cyber Exploitation Research (ICER). SRA won a five-year, $49 million contract to continue assessing and enhancing the performance of Air Force personnel in their interaction with cyberspace technology. The Company’s team of behavioral scientists and engineers conducts these state-of-the-art activities for the Air Force Research Laboratory. |
| • | | Department of State, Worldwide Refugee Admissions Processing System (WRAPS).The State Department awarded SRA a three-year, $35 million contract to operate and enhance the WRAPS system for refugee applications, reception and placement in the U.S. |
| • | | U.S. Army, Installation Support Modules and Range Facility Management Support System (ISM/RFMSS). SRA won a $29 million recompete contract that combines two Army business process modernization programs. The ISM module provides users with Web-based applications supporting personnel functions, and the RFMSS system schedules and manages firing range operations. |
Share Buyback
In the September 2008 quarter, the Company repurchased just under one million shares of SRA stock, deploying about $21.4 million in cash.
Forward Guidance
The Company is reaffirming its revenue guidance and reducing its earnings guidance for FY 2009. The previous range of diluted earnings per share was $1.30 to $1.35. We are reducing FY09 diluted earnings per share guidance to $1.12 to $1.22 per share. The $0.13 to $0.18 reduction primarily results from anticipated delays of order signings in the Era products business. While management continues to expect these contracts to be signed and completed, a portion of the revenue and earnings is unlikely to be recognized in FY 2009. SRA has chosen to take a cautious view given the global economic and political challenges facing the international government customers involved.
The table below represents management’s current expectations about the Company’s future financial performance, based on information available at this time. The forward guidance in this table does not include any effect for acquisitions that SRA might make in the future.

Reconciliation Between Total Revenue Growth and Organic Revenue Growth (Unaudited)

Organic revenue growth, as presented, measures revenue growth adjusted for the impact of acquisitions. The Company believes that this non-GAAP financial measure provides useful information because it allows investors to better assess the underlying growth rate of the Company’s existing business. This non-GAAP financial measure should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.
