HERNDON, Va., Nov. 01, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ManTech International Corporation (Nasdaq: MANT), a leading provider of innovative technologies and solutions for mission-critical national security programs, today announced financial results for the third quarter of fiscal year 2018, which ended September 30, 2018.

"I am pleased with ManTech's performance in the third quarter. ManTech sustained its momentum by exhibiting solid organic growth, improving operating margins and generating robust cash flow. Our increasing backlog driven by strong bookings combined with robust customer budgets will enable ManTech to retain its position as an industry growth leader. The combination of ManTech's agility, talented employees, technology leadership and mission focus are helping enable our customers' mission success,” said ManTech President and Chief Executive Officer, Kevin M. Phillips.

Summary Operating Results

As a result of increased demand for our services and solutions, revenues for the quarter were $497.2 million, up 18% from $422.7 million in the third quarter of 2017. Revenue growth was driven by a combination of organic expansion from recent contract awards and acquisitions.

Operating income for the quarter was $29.4 million, up 27% compared to the third quarter of 2017, representing an operating margin of 5.9%. For the quarter, net income was $21.9 million and diluted earnings per share were $0.55, up 44% and 41%, respectively, compared to the third quarter of 2017.

Cash Management and Capital Deployment

Cash flow from operations for the quarter was $59.2 million or 2.7 times net income. Days sales outstanding (DSO) were 67 days. As of September 30, 2018, the company had $15.0 million in cash and cash equivalents and no outstanding borrowings on its $500 million revolving-credit facility, which provides the company with ample financial capacity to support organic growth, pursue acquisitions and issue dividends while maintaining a strong balance sheet.

In the third quarter, the company paid $9.9 million in dividends, or $0.25 per share, to its common stockholders of record as of September 7, 2018. The Board of Directors has declared that the company will pay a cash dividend of $0.25 per share on December 21, 2018, to all common stockholders of record as of December 7, 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 $1.1 billion in the quarter, representing a book-to-bill ratio of 2.2. In Q3, approximately 73% of the awards were for new business. Over the trailing 12 months, the book-to-bill ratio is 2.0. ManTech won several large, single-award contracts in the quarter including:

• Continuous Diagnostics and Mitigation (CDM) with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). ManTech was awarded a 6-year contract totaling $669 million under the CDM Dynamic and Evolving Federal Enterprise Network Defense (DEFEND) program to provide DHS and the nine federal civilian agencies in CDM Group E with cyber defense solutions including dynamic network monitoring, incident response and threat mitigation.
   
• Full-Spectrum Security Support for the Air Force. ManTech was awarded a 10-year contract totaling $158 million to provide full-spectrum security services to protect mission-critical programs. The contract extends ManTech's long-standing support to the Air Force customer.

ManTech was awarded a 4-year contract totaling $45 million to upgrade legacy technology systems for aircraft mission readiness on the E-2C Hawkeye, E-2D Advanced Hawkeye and the C-2A Greyhound aircraft platforms for Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR).

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:

The company’s backlog of business at quarter end was $8.3 billion and funded backlog was $1.3 billion.
