The company used $18.0 million of net cash flow to fund operating activities in the quarter. Days sales outstanding (DSO) were 69 days. As of March 31, 2018, the company had $10.4 million in cash and cash equivalents and $65.5 million of outstanding borrowings on its $500 million revolving-credit facility, which leaves the company with ample financial capacity to support growth, pursue acquisitions and issue dividends while maintaining a strong balance sheet.

The company paid $9.9 million in dividends, or $0.25 per share, to its common stockholders of record as of March 9, 2018. The Board of Directors has declared that the company will pay a cash dividend of $0.25 per share on June 22, 2018, to all common stockholders of record as of June 8, 2018, as part of its regular quarterly cash dividend program. Future declarations of dividends and their record and payment dates are subject to the final determination of ManTech's Board of Directors.

Contract Awards

Contract awards (bookings) totaled $430 million in the quarter, representing a book-to-bill ratio of 0.9. Over the trailing 12 months, the book-to-bill ratio is 2.2. ManTech won several large, single-award contracts in the quarter including:

  • C4I Integration in U.S. Marine Corps (USMC) Combat Vehicles. ManTech was awarded a 5-year contract totaling $82 million by the Navy's Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center (SPAWAR SSC) to augment Command, Control, Communications, Computers and Intelligence (C4I) capabilities of USMC combat vehicles.

Additional contract awards in the quarter include several extensions to existing contracts and new contracts from various customers, most of which are classified.

In addition, the company won several multiple-award indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contracts, which are not included in bookings, including:

  • Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) ENCORE III. Under this 10-year, $17.5 billion contract ManTech will have the opportunity to win task orders to provide a range of IT solutions.

The company’s backlog of business at the end of quarter was $7.1 billion and funded backlog was $1.2 billion.
