Leidos Holdings, Inc. Reports Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2016 Results

Health and Infrastructure Sector

Health and Infrastructure Sector revenues for fiscal year 2016 of $1.46 billion decreased $151 million, or 9%, compared to the prior calendar year. The revenue decline is primarily attributable to the divestiture of the heavy construction business in the second quarter of fiscal year 2016 and the sale of the Plainfield Renewable Energy facility ("Plainfield"), which closed in the second quarter of the prior calendar year. Excluding the revenues from the divested businesses, HIS revenues increased $134 million, or 10.1%, primarily due to growth in the Federal Health business, partially offset by lower revenues in our engineering services business.

Health and Infrastructure Sector operating margin for fiscal year 2016 was 11.1%, up from 2.8% in the prior calendar year due to the divestiture of the heavy construction business, the sale of Plainfield, reduced indirect costs, lower asset impairment charges and bad debt expense.

Cash Flow Summary

Cash flows provided by operating activities of continuing operations for the quarter were $162 million compared to $32 million in the prior year. The higher operating cash inflows were primarily due to timing of collections and vendor and benefit payments compared to the prior year quarter.  

Cash flows used in investing activities of continuing operations for the quarter were $8 million compared to $56 million of cash flows provided by investing activities in the prior year quarter. The $64 million lower cash flows was primarily due to proceeds received from the sale of assets in the prior year quarter that did not recur in the current year quarter.

Cash flows used in financing activities of continuing operations for the quarter were $227 million compared to $67 million in the prior year quarter. The higher financing cash outflows were primarily due to the early repayment of debt in the current year quarter.

Cash flows provided by operating activities of continuing operations for the fiscal year were $446 million compared to $410 million in the prior calendar year. The higher operating cash inflows were primarily due to timing of collections and vendor and benefit payments compared to the prior calendar year.

Cash flows provided by investing activities of continuing operations for the fiscal year were $26 million compared to $64 million in the prior calendar year. The $38 million lower cash flows was primarily due to proceeds received from the sale of assets in the prior calendar year that did not recur in the current fiscal year, partially offset by cash acquired as part of the acquisition of the IS&GS Business in the current fiscal year.

Cash flows used in financing activities of continuing operations for the fiscal year were $751 million compared to $296 million in in the prior calendar year. The higher financing cash outflows were primarily due to a special cash dividend payment in connection with the Transactions and the early repayment of debt, partially offset by the issuance of debt, net of issuance costs.

As of December 30, 2016, the Company had $376 million in cash and cash equivalents and $3.3 billion in notes payable and long-term debt.
