cents per share, during the first quarter of fiscal 1998 as a result of developments at CSC Enterprises, a general partnership of which CSC, through one of its affiliates, is the managing general partner. This net credit resulted from a tax benefit of $135 million and an after-tax special charge of $133.3 million. During the fiscal quarter ended June 27, 1997, certain partners withdrew from CSC Enterprises. As a result of these withdrawals, CSC Enterprises took actions that caused CSC to recognize an increase in the tax basis of certain assets. As required by SFAS No. 109, this tax basis increase resulted in a deferred tax asset of $135 million and a corresponding reduction of CSC's provision for income taxes during the first fiscal quarter. In connection with these developments, CSC Enterprises reviewed its operations, its market opportunities and the carrying value of its assets. Based on this review, plans were initiated during the first quarter to eliminate certain offerings and write down assets, primarily within its telecommunications operations. As a result of these plans, CSC recognized an after-tax special charge of $133.3 million during the fiscal quarter ended June 27, 1997. This special charge included goodwill of $35 million, contract termination costs of $33.8 million, deferred contract costs and other assets of $20.5 million, telecommunications software and accruals of $22.3 million, telecommunications property, equipment and intangible assets of $11.7 million and other costs of $10 million. CSC recognized a special charge in the second quarter of fiscal 1997 related to the August 1, 1996 acquisition of The Continuum Company, Inc. The amount of the charge, net of income tax benefits on the tax deductible portion, was $35.3 million or 45 cents per share. The charge was comprised of $11 million for investment banking and other merger expenses; $13.1 million related to the write-off of certain capitalized software, other assets and intangibles; and $24.8 million related to the elimination of duplicate data processing facilities, employee severance costs and contract termination costs. (B) Primary earnings per common share are based on the weighted average number of common stock and common stock equivalent shares (dilutive stock options) outstanding of 78,819,000 and 77,924,000 for the six months ended September 26, 1997 and September 27, 1996, respectively (see Part II, Exhibit 11). 6 (C) No dividends were paid during the periods presented. There were 77,988,748 shares at September 26, 1997 and 76,924,836 shares at March 28, 1997 of $1.00 par value common stock issued with 342,447 and 332,220 shares, respectively, of treasury stock. (D) Cash payments for interest on indebtedness were $24.3 million and $20 million for the six months ended September 26, 1997 and September 27, 1996, respectively. Cash payments for taxes on income were $39.3 million and $36.7 million for the six months ended September 26, 1997, and September 27, 1996, respectively. (E) The financial information reported, which is not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year, is unaudited but includes all adjustments which the Company considers necessary for a fair presentation. All such adjustments are normal recurring adjustments. (F) During fiscal 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share." This statement replaces the presentation of primary earnings per share with basic earnings per share, and will require dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share on the face of the income statement. For CSC, diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if outstanding options to purchase shares of the Company's common stock were exercised. As specified in the statement, the Company will apply the statement beginning with its third quarter of fiscal 1998, and earnings per share presentations will include restatement of prior period data presented. Under the provisions of the new standard, basic earnings per share would be reported as $1.44 and diluted earnings per share would be reported as $1.41 for the first six months of fiscal 1998. 7 PART I, ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Second Quarter and First Six Months of Fiscal 1998 versus Second Quarter and First Six Months of Fiscal 1997 Revenues The Company derived its revenues from the following market sectors for the second quarter and first six months, respectively (dollars in millions): Second Quarter First Six Months -------------- Pct. ---------------- Pct. FY98 FY97 Change FY98 FY97 Change ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ U.S. Commercial $ 680 $ 524 29.7% $1,285 $ 999 28.5% Europe 409 347 17.7 790 648 21.9 Other International 103 92 12.2 202 174 16.3 ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ Total Commercial 1,192 963 23.7 2,277 1,821 25.0 U.S. Federal Government 387 392 (1.2) 791 838 (5.6) ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ Total $1,579 $1,355 16.5% $3,068 $2,659 15.4% ====== ====== ====== ====== ====== ====== During the second quarter and six months ended September 26, 1997, the Company's total revenue increased 16.5%, or $224 million, and 15.4% or $409 million, respectively, over the same periods last year. Commercial revenues grew 23.7%, or $229 million over the same quarter of last year. U.S. commercial revenues grew 29.7% or $156 million during the second quarter of fiscal 1998 over the same period last year. Approximately half of the growth was provided by information technology outsourcing contracts, including recent contracts with J.P. Morgan and DuPont. The remainder was derived principally from continued demand for consulting and systems integration services and growth at CSC Financial Services Group. European revenues grew $62 million or 17.7% during the second quarter of fiscal 1998 over the same period last year. Growth came principally from increased outsourcing business at our UK division, the DuPont contract and CSC's German SAP consulting practice. For the first half of fiscal 1998, growth resulted primarily from new outsourcing business and from the acquisition last year of 75% of Datacentralen, a major provider of information technology services in Denmark. The second quarter growth of 12.2% in other international revenues resulted mainly from expansion of the Company's Australian operations. U.S. federal government revenue accounted for 24.5% of total revenue for the quarter compared to 28.9% for the second quarter of 1997. Federal revenue decreased 1.2% or $5 million, principally due to the completion last year of several contracts. During the second quarter of fiscal 1998, the Company announced $310 million in new federal contracts. 8 As a result of the trends described above, the Company's revenues by market sector are as follows: Revenue by Market Sector, Second Quarter First Six Months as a percentage of total FY98 FY97 FY98 FY97 - ---------------------------- ------ ------ ------ ------ U.S. Commercial 43% 39% 42% 37% Europe 26 25 26 24 Other International 7 7 6 7 ------ ------ ------ ------ Total Commercial 76 71 74 68 U.S. Federal Government 24 29 26 32 ------ ------ ------ ------ Total Revenue 100% 100% 100% 100% ====== ====== ====== ====== Costs and Expenses The Company's costs and expenses as a percentage of revenue are as follows (dollars in millions, before special items): Dollar Amount Percentage of Revenue -------------- ------------------------------- First Second Quarter Second Quarter Six Months -------------- -------------- -------------- FY98 FY97 FY98 FY97 FY98 FY97 ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ Costs of services $1,231 $1,074 78.0% 79.2% 78.3% 79.4% Selling, general & admin. 148 116 9.4 8.6 9.4 8.8 Depreciation and amort. 96 81 6.1 6.0 6.0 5.7 Interest expense, net 11 9 0.7 0.6 0.7 0.6 ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ Total $1,486 $1,280 94.2% 94.4% 94.4% 94.5% ====== ====== ====== ====== ====== ====== Compared with corresponding periods of the prior year, total costs and expenses improved as a percentage of revenue for the second quarter and first six months ended September 26, 1997. Cost of services as a percentage of revenue decreased due to the continued shift in the Company's revenue mix toward commercial operations, and performance improvements within European operations and U.S. consulting activities. Selling, general and administrative costs increased as a percentage of revenue due to growth in commercial operations relative to U.S. federal business. This increase was offset in part by improvement in the selling, general and administrative percentage within the Company's U.S. outsourcing operations. 9 Special Charges As previously reported, the results of operations for the first quarter ended June 27, 1997 included a net special credit of $1.7 million, or 2 cents per share, resulting from developments at CSC Enterprises, a general partnership which operates the Company's credit services operations and carries out other business strategies through acquisition and investment. This net credit resulted from a tax benefit of $135 million and a special charge of $208.4 ($133.3 million after tax), as described below. During the first quarter ended June 27, 1997, certain partners withdrew from CSC Enterprises. As a result of these withdrawals, CSC Enterprises took actions that caused CSC to recognize an increase in the tax basis of certain assets. As required by SFAS No. 109, this tax basis increase resulted in a deferred tax asset of $135 million and a corresponding reduction of CSC's provision for income taxes during that quarter. In connection with these developments, CSC Enterprises reviewed its operations, its market opportunities and the carrying value of its assets. Based on this review, plans were initiated during the first quarter to eliminate certain offerings and write down assets, primarily within its telecommunications operations. As a result of these plans, CSC recognized an after-tax special charge of $133.3 million during the fiscal quarter ended June 27, 1997. This special charge included goodwill of $35 million, contract termination costs of $33.8 million, deferred contract costs and other assets of $20.5 million, telecommunications software and accruals of $22.3 million, telecommunications property, equipment and intangible assets of $11.7 million and other costs of $10 million. The results of operations for last year's second quarter (ended September 27, 1996) included a special charge related to the August 1, 1996 acquisition of The Continuum Company, Inc. The amount of the charge, net of income tax benefits on the tax deductible portion, was $35.3 million or 45 cents per share. The non-recurring charge was comprised of $11 million for investment banking and other merger expenses; $13.1 million related to the write-off of certain capitalized software, other assets and intangibles; and $24.8 million related to the elimination of duplicate data processing facilities, employee severance costs and contract termination costs. Income Before Taxes Income before taxes increased to $92.4 million, up $16.5 million, or 21.6% compared with the same quarter last year before the prior year's special charge. The Company's profit margin before taxes and special charges was 5.8% compared to 5.6% for last year's second quarter and remained the same at 5.6% for the first six months of fiscal 1998 and 1997. 10 Net Income Net income was $58.6 million for the second quarter of fiscal 1998, up $9.3 million, or 18.8% over last year's earnings before the special charge. This year's second quarter earnings per share of 74 cents increased 17.5% over last year's second quarter pre-charge earnings per share of 63 cents. After the charge, last year's second quarter earnings per share were 18 cents. On a year to date basis, earnings per share before special items were $1.39, up 18 cents, or 14.9% over the same period for the previous fiscal year. Cash Flows Cash provided by operating activities was $162.9 million for the six months ended September 26, 1997, compared with $89.8 million during the same period last year. Higher earnings, non-cash depreciation and amortization expenses, and favorable changes in working capital were the primary drivers of the improvement. The Company's cash expenditures for investing activities totaled $360.6 million for the most recent six months versus $347.2 million during the same period of last year. Significant current year activity includes purchases of outsourcing assets in connection with the DuPont contract. Cash provided by financing activities was $154.9 million for the most recent six months versus $185.4 million for the same period last year. Financial Condition During the first six months of fiscal 1998, the Company's capital outlays included $320.5 million of business investments in the form of fixed asset purchases, acquisitions and new outsourcing contracts. These amounts were funded from operating cash flows, additional debt and existing cash, which decreased from $110.7 million to $67.9 million. As a result of the net increase in borrowings, the Company's debt-to-total capitalization ratio increased to 29.9% at September 26, 1997 versus 28.4% at fiscal 1997 year end. It is management's opinion that the Company will be able to meet its liquidity and cash needs for the foreseeable future through the combination of cash flows from operating activities, cash balances, unused borrowing capacity and other financing activities, including the issuance of debt and/or equity securities. New Accounting Pronouncement During fiscal 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share." This statement replaces the presentation of primary earnings per share with basic earnings per share, and will require dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share on the face of the income statement. The Company will apply the statement beginning with its third quarter of fiscal 1998, as described in Note F of Item 1. 11 Part II. Other Information Item 4.
