Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. It is recommended that these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 2, 2004. In the opinion of the Company, the unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements included herein reflect all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, the results of operations and the cash flows for such interim periods. The results of operations for such interim period s are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.

Note 3 - Stock Incentive Plans

 

At July 2, 2004, the Company has eight stock incentive plans which authorized the issuance of stock options, restricted stock and other stock-based incentives to employees, which are described more fully in Note 11 of the Company's 2004 Annual Report filed on Form 10-K. The Company accounts for those plans under the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and related interpretations. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," as amended by SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation Transition and Disclosure," the following pro forma net income and earnings per share information is presented as if the Company accounted for stock-based compensation awarded under the stock incentive plans using the fair value based method. Under the fair value based method, the estimated fair value of stock incentive awards is charged against income on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.

Note 10 - Special Items

 

As disclosed in the Company's fiscal 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company completed its review of operations, product strategies and the carrying value of its assets to identify any potential exit or disposal activities in connection with the DynCorp acquisition during March 2003. During the first quarter of fiscal 2004, special items of $6.2 million ($3.9 million after tax) or 2 cents per share (diluted) were recorded. The charges include equipment and related disposal costs, that cannot accommodate the larger, integrated U.S. Federal sector business, and its use has been discontinued. No charges were recorded during the quarter ended July 2, 2004.

 Note 11 - Acquisitions

 

As a result of the DynCorp acquisition, the Company incurred costs to exit and consolidate activities, involuntarily terminate employees, and other costs to integrate DynCorp into the Company. Generally accepted accounting principles require that these costs, which are not associated with the generation of future revenues and have no future economic benefit, be reflected as assumed liabilities in the allocation of the purchase price to the net assets acquired, and such costs appear below. As of July 2, 2004, 61 of 63 employees identified for employment termination had been involuntarily terminated. The facility consolidations relate to plans to vacate and sublease DynCorp facilities. The costs include amounts estimated by a third party as not recoverable under sublease. The components of the final acquisition integration liabilities included in the purchase price allocation for DynCorp are presented in the following table.

  Note 12 - Commitments and Contingencies

 

The Company guarantees working capital credit lines established with local financial institutions for its foreign business units. Generally, guarantees have one-year terms and are renewed annually. CSC guarantees up to $473.6 million of such working capital lines; however, as of July 2, 2004, the amount of the maximum potential payment is $53.4 million, the amount of the related outstanding subsidiary debt. The $53.4 million outstanding debt is reflected in the Company's consolidated financial statements.

The Company indemnifies its software license customers from claims of infringement on a United States patent, copyright, or trade secret. CSC's indemnification covers costs to defend customers from claims, court awards or related settlements. The Company maintains the right to modify or replace software in order to eliminate any infringement. Historically, CSC has not incurred any significant costs related to customer software license indemnification. Management considers the likelihood of incurring future costs to be remote. Accordingly, the Company has not recorded a related liability.

 

The Company is currently party to a number of disputes which involve or may involve litigation. The Company consults with legal counsel on those issues related to litigation and seeks input from other experts and advisors with respect to matters in the ordinary course of business. It is the opinion of Company management that ultimate liability, if any, with respect to these disputes will not be material to the Company's consolidated financial statements

Note 14 - Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In May 2004, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) 106-2, "Accounting and Disclosure Requirements Related to the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003." This statement applies to the sponsor of a single-employer defined benefit postretirement health care plan for which (a) the employer has concluded that prescription drug benefits available under the plan to some or all participants for some or all future years are "actuarially equivalent" to Medicare Part D and thus qualify for the subsidy under the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003 (the Act) and (b) the expected subsidy will offset or reduce the employer's share of the cost of the underlying postretirement prescription drug coverage on which the subsidy is based. The Company has determined that the statement will not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. The statement becomes effective for the Company during the second quarter of fiscal 2005.

PART I, ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
First Quarter of Fiscal 2005 versus
First Quarter of Fiscal 2004

General


The following discussion and analysis provides information management believes relevant to an assessment and understanding of the consolidated results of operations and financial condition of Computer Sciences Corporation (CSC or the Company). The discussion should be read in conjunction with the interim consolidated condensed financial statements and notes thereto and the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 2, 2004. The following discusses the Company's results of operations and financial condition as of and for the three months ended July 2, 2004, and the comparable period for the prior fiscal year.

The reader should note DSO, free cash flow, ROI, and Debt-to-total capitalization are not measures defined by Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States (U.S. GAAP), and the Company's definition of these measures may differ from other companies. For a discussion of these measures, please refer to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 2, 2004.

First Quarter Overview

Key highlights of the first quarter include:

The Company's announced new business awards of $4.9 billion for the first fiscal quarter included the following significant wins:

Global Commercial

U.S. Federal

These multi-year awards represent the estimated value at contract signing. However, they cannot be considered firm orders due to their variable attributes, including demand-driven usage, modifications in scope of work due to changing customer requirements, and annual funding constraints and indefinite delivery and volume characteristics of major portions of the Company's U.S. Federal activities.

Revenue growth for the first quarter of fiscal 2005 was led by CSC's Global Commercial sector which benefited from strong outsourcing revenue growth in Europe generated by recent outsourcing contract wins. Gains in outsourcing revenue were partially offset by declines in professional services. U.S Federal revenues continued to benefit from increased demand for professional services. Net currency exchange rate shifts during the quarter have also continued to favorably impact revenue, but future changes in currency rates cannot be predicted. Lower discretionary spending from the ongoing global economic sluggishness continues to affect consulting and systems integration markets.

Return on investment (ROI) improved to 8.6% for the twelve months ending July 2, 2004 compared to 8.5% for the comparable period ending July 4, 2003. Higher investment base turnover drove the improvement as strong revenue growth out-paced moderate growth in the investment base. Management continues to place a high priority on ROI as a driver of increased shareholder value and as an effective decision tool.

Higher cash flow generated from operating activities in first quarter of fiscal 2005 versus first quarter of fiscal 2004 resulted from increased earnings, advanced customer payments and larger non-cash expense components such as depreciation and amortization. Days Sales Outstanding (DSO) declined during the first quarter of fiscal 2005 to 90 days from 97 days in fiscal 2004, contributing to the increase in operating cash flow for the quarter. Higher outflows of cash for investing activities were primarily a result of up-front investments for fixed assets, software and other capitalized costs for new outsourcing contracts.

Revenue growth for the first quarter of fiscal 2005 was driven by strong outsourcing revenue growth and the impact of currency fluctuations in Global Commercial and growth in U.S. Federal sector's defense business. Additionally, the first quarter of fiscal 2005 contained one week less than the comparable period in fiscal 2004. The estimated impact on the first quarter of 2004 of the additional week was additional revenue of approximately 4% for the quarter. Normalized revenue growth for the first quarter of fiscal 2005 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2004 was approximately 3.4% higher than actual revenue growth.

Global Commercial

Significant Global Commercial outsourcing contracts won during fiscal 2004 accounted for approximately $170 million of the first quarter fiscal 2005 growth. Europe was the primary source of these outsourcing contracts, accounting for approximately $148 million of this amount. These revenue gains from outsourcing were offset by declines in financial services revenue of approximately $17 million and credit reporting revenue of approximately $2 million, resulting in constant currency growth of .7% for the quarter, before the impact of the effect of the additional week on first quarter fiscal 2004. The Company announced approximately $2.2 billion in new Global Commercial business awards during first quarter fiscal 2005 compared with $3.8 billion announced during first quarter fiscal 2004.

Global Commercial Europe's revenue growth included the following outsourcing contracts: SAS Group, Royal Mail Group, National Grid Transco, Motorola, and Marconi. Europe continues to experience growth in the outsourcing market; however, soft demand for consulting and systems integration work, particularly in Germany, France and Italy, partially offset the revenue increases from outsourcing resulting in a constant currency increase in European revenue of 5.9%. Demand for consulting and systems integration services is not expected to improve significantly in Europe during fiscal 2005 as customers continue to constrain discretionary spending as a result of economic pressures in continental Europe.

Revenue growth for the U.S. Commercial sector during the first quarter of fiscal 2005, normalized for the additional week included in the first quarter of fiscal 2004, was minimal. U.S. Commercial sector revenue benefited from new and existing outsourcing contracts including Ascension Health, Providian, Boeing and Sears Roebuck & Co. which combined for $26 million of fiscal 2005 revenue growth. These gains were offset by lower revenue as a result of lower volumes on certain outsourcing contracts and lower software license sales revenue. The net effect of these changes in revenue was a 2.8% decline in U.S. Commercial revenue for the quarter.

A 2.5% constant currency revenue decline in Other International's first quarter fiscal 2005 revenue was the result of a drop in Australian outsourcing revenues and weaker third party product sales in Australia and Asia. The softness in these markets is expected to continue in fiscal 2005.

Taking into account the additional week in first quarter fiscal 2004, revenues from Federal sector showed moderate year over year growth in the first quarter of fiscal 2005 primarily from Civil agencies contracts, most notably certain contracts to provide assistance to government programs abroad. This was partially offset by $16 million in volume reductions on contracts with NASA and the Internal Revenue Service and the conclusion of programs with NASA, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation which together provided $42 million of revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 2004. Revenue from the Department of Defense was up for the quarter primarily from contracts for missile defense, a US Navy multiple award contract and several intelligence contracts which combined for $89 million of additional revenue. Partially offsetting this growth was a $38 million reduction in revenues due to
