CSC DELAYS ANNOUNCEMENT OF FISCAL YEAR-END 2007 EARNINGS
 
 
          EL SEGUNDO, Calif., May 22 - Computer Sciences Corporation (NYSE: CSC) today announced that it will delay its fourth quarter and fiscal year-end 2007 earnings announcement and conference call previously scheduled for today. The delay is necessary to allow additional time to finalize the accounting for income taxes related to certain prior-period transactions.
 
          CSC also announced that preliminary unaudited company estimates for fourth quarter revenues are expected to be in the range of $4.0 billion to $4.1 billion, and earnings per share to be $1.51 to $1.61. The EPS estimates exclude the impact of net restructuring charges, the expense or impact related to the stock option investigation and litigation, and impact of any adjustment related to prior-period income tax issues noted above.
 
          Additionally, the company announced that free cash flow for the fiscal year 2007 will exceed its previous guidance of $400 million to $500 million, excluding payments for restructuring activities. CSC currently estimates the range to be $840 million to $860 million.
 
          CSC expects to reschedule its fourth quarter and fiscal year-end 2007 earnings announcement and conference call shortly.
