CSC REPORTS CONTINUED IMPROVEMENT IN SECOND QUARTER 2013 RESULTS
Diluted EPS of $0.83
Operating Income of $298 Million
As Reported Operating Margin of 7.7%; Adjusted Operating Margin of 9.2% Excludes Restructuring
Free Cash Flow of $237 Million, a YoY Improvement of $505 Million
Bookings of $4.2 Billion
FY2013 EPS Target Increased to $2.30 to $2.50

FALLS CHURCH, Va., November 6 - CSC (NYSE: CSC) today reported second quarter 2013 diluted earnings of $0.83 per share, compared with diluted EPS of $(18.56) in the second quarter 2012 which included a goodwill impairment charge of $18.21 per share and a U.S. Claims settlement of $1.20 per share. Total revenues were $3.85 billion compared with $3.97 billion in the year ago period, a decrease of 3% as reported and a 1% decline in constant currency.

Financial Highlights

Diluted EPS of $0.83 per share included a workforce restructuring charge of $58 million, or $0.25 per share.
Operating income of $298 million was compared with an operating loss in the year ago period.
Operating margin of 7.7% increased compared with -1.9% a year ago and 4.6% in the prior quarter. Excluding the impact of a $269 million U.S. Claims settlement in the prior year, operating margin improved by 289 basis points.
Operating cash flow of $444 million for the quarter, improved by $438 million from the previous year.





Free cash flow of $237 million for the quarter improved by $505 million compared to the previous year, as the result of better contract management, cost takeout, and the benefit of the NHS Interim Agreement.
The company raised $700 million of senior unsecured notes and secured commitments for a new $250 million bank term loan. Funds from these financings were used to redeem maturing debt in October, 2012.
Ending cash and cash equivalents were $1.85 billion.


"Our second quarter results reflect continued progress made on our contract management performance and cost takeout program. As a result, operating margins improved across all three lines of business when compared with the prior year and we are raising our fiscal year 2013 EPS targets to $2.30 to $2.50," said Mike Lawrie, President and CEO. "During the quarter, we also strengthened our offering portfolio through the acquisition of a premiere software development company that specializes in big data, analytics and advanced applications. This action is consistent with our strategy of being a leader in next generation technology solutions and services. We are also taking steps to divest certain non-core assets such as a smaller business in Italy. There is much work to be completed but we are encouraged with the early results of our turnaround program."

Lines of Business

Managed Services Sector (MSS) revenue of $1.58 billion decreased by 2% from the second quarter of last year but increased 1% in constant currency mainly due to the AppLabs acquisition. Segment operating margin increased 278 basis points to 5.6% due to better contract performance and cost takeout partially offset by a $47 million workforce restructuring charge. MSS signed $2.2 billion of new business during the quarter.

Business Solutions & Services (BSS) revenue was $0.92 billion decreased by 3% from the second quarter of last year but increased 1% in constant currency. BSS operating margin expanded by 335 basis points to 6.9% primarily as the result of improved contract performance and cost takeout partially offset by a $10 million workforce restructuring charge. New business awards for BSS were $0.9 billion.

North American Public Sector (NPS) revenue of $1.38 billion declined by 4% from the second quarter last year primarily due to the Department of Defense contract completions which occurred at the end of fiscal year 2012. Operating margin of 10.9% increased significantly year over year due to the impact of the U.S. Claims settlement in the prior year. NPS bookings of $1.1 billion declined from one year ago as new business awards continue to be impacted by continued uncertainty in government procurement.

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. Operating margin is defined as operating income as a percentage of revenue. A reconciliation of consolidated operating income to income from continuing operations before taxes is as follows:
