FAIRFAX, Virginia, April 30, 2003 – ManTech International Corporation (Nasdaq: MANT) today announced its operating results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2003. Revenue for the first quarter was $148.1 million, an increase of 37.0% over the same period in 2002. Income from operations return on sales increased to 8.6% from 7.0% for the same period in 2002.

 

ManTech’s net income for the first quarter 2003 was $7.0 million, a 52.2% increase over the same period in 2002. Fully Diluted Earnings Per Share (EPS), (based on 31,935,340 weighted average common shares outstanding), were $0.22 compared with $0.20 for Q1 2002. The net income for the quarter includes a charge to other expense of approximately $963,000 ($571,000 net of taxes), or $0.02 per share, the result of a fourth quarter 2002 net loss incurred by a ManTech affiliate accounted for under the equity method of accounting.

 

ManTech announced that the integration of its recent acquisitions remains on schedule. ManTech International Corporation Chairman of the Board, CEO and President, George J. Pedersen highlighted the positive impact of the recent acquisitions, noting two contract awards in the quarter totaling $90 million that would not have been possible without the combined efforts of ManTech and two of its acquisitions, ManTech MSM and ManTech Aegis Research. Pedersen emphasized that as a result of this integration, ManTech is coordinating multiple new business development opportunities across the enterprise, adding that the “acquisition strategy has played out just as we planned.”

 

Commenting on the overall results, Pedersen stated, “ManTech’s first quarter results reflect continued execution of our growth strategy to position ManTech to take advantage of positive market trends in support of priority Defense and intelligence

community programs.” Pedersen added, “Our strong revenue growth, matched by margin expansion and solid earnings growth, demonstrates the health of our core business and very positive contributions from our recent acquisitions.”

  ·   Awarded a U.S. Department of State Personnel Security Investigation and adjudication services contract under GSA to support the Bureau of Diplomatic Security, the organization with primary responsibility for all aspects of security for the Department of State in the United States and abroad. The contract has an estimated value of $40 million covering a five year period of performance, including a base year and four one-year options.

 

  ·   One of seventeen firms to be awarded a contract under the General Services Administration’s (GSA) indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity CONNECTIONS Program, a telecommunications/network equipment and services Blanket Purchase Agreement with a seven-year estimated value of $35 billion for the awardees and all subcontractors.

 

  ·   Received NASA’s George M. Low Award as the premier large business services contractor for NASA for 2002.

  ·   Completed the acquisition of MSM Security Services, Inc. (MSM), of Greenbelt, Maryland, a leading provider of Personnel Security Investigation services to the U.S. Government.

2003 First Quarter Key Performance Metrics

 

Backlog: On March 31, 2003, ManTech’s backlog was $1.4 billion, compared with $935.3 million for the same date in 2002, an increase of 51.3%. Funded backlog as of March 31, 2003, was $277.6 million compared with $230.5 million on the same day in 2002.

 

GSA Schedule Contract Value: ManTech’s GSA schedule contract value on March 31, 2003 was approximately $1.0 billion, up from $860.6 million on the same date in 2002, an increase of 17.0%. ManTech determines its GSA schedule contract value by multiplying the average monthly amount of funded work that it has been awarded under each of its GSA schedule contracts over the past 12 months, by the number of months remaining in the term of those contracts, including existing options, except that it does not take into account remaining contract terms of more than 72 months.

 

Revenue Breakdown: ManTech derived 36.4% of its revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 from work under GSA schedule contracts, compared with 39.9% for the same period in 2002. The decrease is primarily the result of expanded work with the intelligence community under non-GSA contracts.

 

For the quarter ended March 31, 2003, ManTech derived approximately 97.1% of its revenue from Federal Government contracts, consistent with the level for the same period in 2002. Revenue from the Department of Defense and the intelligence community accounted for 87.9% of revenue for the first quarter ending March 31, 2003.

 

Revenue from secure systems and infrastructure solutions and information technology solutions combined to account for 80.2% of revenue in the first quarter compared with 73.3% in 2002 for the same period. Revenue from systems engineering solutions in the quarter accounted for 19.8%, down from 26.7% in 2002.

 

Contract Mix: For the first quarter ending March 31, 2003, ManTech served as prime contractor for 89.2% of its revenue. Regarding ManTech’s contract mix, time and materials and fixed price contracts combined to account for 63.1% of the revenue in the first quarter while cost plus contracts accounted for 36.9%.

 

Acquisition Update: ManTech announced that integration of its recent acquisitions remains on schedule. ManTech Aegis Research has been fully operational on the ManTech enterprise financial and HR IT system since January 1, 2003. ManTech MSM Security Services and ManTech CTX are expected to transition to the enterprise system by the end of the second quarter 2003, and the ManTech IDS change-over will occur by the end of the third quarter 2003. ManTech also announced that annualized voluntary turnover as of March 31, 2003 was approximately 13%, including acquisitions, a decrease from approximately 18% during the same period in 2002.

 

Regarding future acquisitions, George J. Pedersen stated that ManTech will continue to focus on integration of the most recent acquisitions for the balance of 2003 and that no new transactions are anticipated at this time.

Commenting on ManTech’s first quarter performance, ManTech International Corporation Executive Vice President and CFO John A. Moore, Jr. stated: “Continued expansion of revenue from secure systems and IT solutions projects as a percentage of our overall business is the core of our strategy, and the positive trends in our key performance metrics are driven by this sharp focus on the high growth segments of the DoD and intelligence community marketplace.” Moore continued, “In this quarter, we saw a very positive impact from our recent acquisitions—all four contributing to improved top-line growth and higher margins.”

NOTE: EBITDA is defined as net income plus interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, other expense, minority interest, and minus other income.

 

EBITDA as calculated by us may be calculated differently than EBITDA for other companies. We have provided EBITDA because we believe it is a commonly used measure of financial performance in comparable companies and is provided to help investors evaluate companies on a consistent basis, as well as to enhance an understanding of our operating results. EBITDA should not be construed as either an alternative to net income as an indicator of our operating performance or as an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity.
