SRX Sra International

-- Revenue of $321 Million FAIRFAX, Va., Jan. 31 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- SRA International, Inc. (NYSE:SRX), a leading provider of technology and strategic consulting services and solutions to federal government organizations, today announced operating results for the second quarter of fiscal year 2007, which ended December 31, 2006. Revenue for the quarter was $321.0 million, up 5% from $305.3 million in the December 2005 quarter. Operating income for the quarter was $22.1 million, and net income was $16.7 million. Diluted earnings per share for the quarter were $0.29, including a 3.8 cent gain from the sale of the Company's interest in Mantas Inc. Renny DiPentima, SRA President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "While December quarter revenue exceeded our previous guidance, earnings per share was a penny below guidance. Challenging market conditions have led to contract delays and pricing pressure in both our Defense and Civil businesses, which in turn have significantly affected our growth outlook and profitability for the next two quarters." Chief Financial Officer Stephen Hughes added, "In the current environment, we continue to bid and pursue new opportunities, but contract awards and revenues have been pushed out and, as a result, near term operating margins and earnings are now below previous expectations." New Business Awards The Company won new business in the second quarter with potential value of $281 million, if all options are exercised. The Company's backlog of signed business orders is $3.7 billion, an increase of 16% over the December 2005 quarter. Major highlights of competitive contract awards during the quarter include: * Department of Agriculture, Web-Based Supply Chain Management System. Under this five-year, $91 million contract, SRA will develop and maintain a system to support food assistance programs operated across the world. Services will include commercial off-the-shelf software integration, information security, operations and maintenance. * Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Brownfields Program. SRA won two major recompete contracts for the EPA in the December quarter, both in support of the Brownfields Program. The contracts have a combined value of $51 million and involve technology and professional services such as enterprise architecture, systems development, program planning and communications. * Internal Revenue Service (IRS). The IRS awarded three recompete contracts and one new contract to SRA as a subcontractor under the Total Information Processing Support Services (TIPSS-3) vehicle. With a combined value over $26 million, these task orders involve technology services such as network and systems management. * Department of Defense (DoD), TRICARE Management Activity. Under this 5- year, $14 million contract, SRA will deliver technical and analytical services to the Office of Business and Economic Analysis (BEA). For the past 13 years, the Company has supported the BEA in its management of the Military Health System. * United States Forest Service (USFS), NIST-800 Implementation. SRA will implement a new system to ensure USFS's adherence to information security guidelines dictated by the National Institute of Standards and Technology under this 15-month, $10 million contract. SRA was also awarded several multiple-award, indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (ID/IQ) contracts in the December quarter. These wins do not contribute to the Company's quarterly bookings figure, but they provide a solid foundation for future growth. * Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). SRA is a teammate of Perot Systems, one of three large businesses awarded this Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) by the VA. With a total ceiling value of $1 billion, the BPA will cover information technology services in support of the Veterans Health Information Systems and Technology Architecture. In addition, as of December 31, 2006, the Company has approximately $1.4 billion of pending bids outstanding.
