  • Revenue of $884.3 million down $9.7 million or 1.1% from First Quarter 2010, adjusted for the deconsolidation of the Global Linguist Solutions ("GLS") joint venture.  Reported revenue down 16.1%.
  • Net Income attributable to Delta Tucker Holdings, Inc. of $4.9 million, down $14.6 million from First Quarter 2010.
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $55.6 million, flat with First Quarter 2010.
  • $50.0 million debt reduction in March 2011

Falls Church, Va. - (May 13, 2011) - Delta Tucker Holdings, Inc. ("Holdings"), the parent of DynCorp International Inc. ("DI", and together with Holdings, the "Company"), a global government services provider supporting U.S. national security and foreign policy objectives, today reported first quarter 2011 financial results.

"I am pleased with our operating results in the first quarter, which were primarily driven by higher award fee scores from our LOGCAP program, " said Steven F. Gaffney, DynCorp International chairman and chief executive officer. "These results directly reflect the team's efforts to focus on satisfying our customers, improving processes and growing the business. The operational efficiencies and organizational realignment that we began last fall are allowing us to compete more effectively and leverage the unique spectrum of capabilities that DI offers."

First Quarter 2011 Highlights

  • In January 2011, DI received a $46.0 million tax refund from the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS"). The Company previously received a $34.1 million tax refund from the IRS in December 2010, bringing the total refund to $80.1 million, related to an approved change in accounting method.  
  • In February 2011, DI was notified that the Iraqi based portion of the Civilian Police (CivPol) contract was extended until March 2012.
  • In February 2011, DI was awarded a new contract to support anti-corruption efforts in Timor- Leste in its Development business, formerly Casals and Associates, which was acquired in January 2010.
  • In March 2011, DI received a second Logistics Civil Augmentation Program (LOGCAP IV) contract award fee determination related to Afghanistan operations, which covered performance from August 1, 2010 through January 31, 2011.  The score was higher than the Company's previous award fee score and brought the total award fee recognized on LOGCAP IV to $14.1 million during the quarter.
  • In March 2011, DI was notified that that it lost the LCCS-Navy contract. This caused the Company to revalue certain inventory at market, which resulted in a $1.9 million write down. The Company also re-categorized the carrying value of $2.8 million of inventory to held-for-sale.  
  • In March 2011, DI made a $50.0 million term loan payment.  

Summary of First Quarter 2011 Operating Results
Revenue of $884.3 million was down $9.7 million or 1.1% from the comparable prior year quarter, adjusted for the deconsolidation of GLS, which recorded $159.8 million of revenue for the first quarter of 2010.  The comparable revenue decline was driven primarily by the loss of the Life Cycle Contract Support (LCCS)-Army contract, which transitioned in November 2010, and the completion of both the African Peacekeeping (APK) task order in Somalia and the Qatar guard contract under our Security Services business.  Lower volume on the Mine Resistant Ambush Protected Vehicle (MRAP) program and the International Civilian Police Program (CivPol) also contributed to the decline.  These declines were offset by revenue gains from the Contingency Operations business, primarily from LOGCAP IV contract, which produced revenue of $379.3 million, a 17.0% increase over the first quarter 2010. Additionally, the Company experienced revenue increases from its Training and Mentoring business, primarily from the Combined Security Transition Command Afghanistan (CSTC-A), Multinational Security Transition Command-Iraq (MNSTC-I) contracts, and the addition of the Afghanistan National Police-Ministry of Interior (ANP-MoI) contract (formally NATO Training Mission-Afghanistan), which ramped-up during the quarter to replace the CivPol Afghanistan work under the Department of State. Additionally, revenue in the period benefited from increased demand for secure aviation transport under the INL Air Wing contract with the Department of State.

Net income attributable to Delta Tucker Holdings, Inc. of $4.9 million, represents a decrease of $14.6 million from the comparable period in 2010. The decline primarily relates to increased Selling, general and administrative expenses due to cost associated with the restructuring announced in January, higher amortization of intangibles resulting from the Merger and increased interest expenses associated with the company's new debt.   

Adjusted EBITDA of $55.6 million for the first quarter 2011 was flat to the comparable period in 2010. 

Global Stabilization and Development Solutions (GSDS) First Quarter Highlights:
GSDS segment revenue of $575.5 million represents 65.1% of our total revenue for the three months ended April 1, 2011, an increase of 3.8% over the first quarter 2010.  GSDS reported adjusted EBITDA of $26.4 million for the first quarter 2011, an 18.2% increase from the comparable period in 2010.  The performance was primarily driven by the following:

Contingency Operations:

  • Strong continued growth from the LOGCAP IV program with a 17% revenue increase from first quarter 2010 and improved award fee scores on the Afghanistan task order which resulted in $14.1 million award fee revenue during the period.  
  • The Air Force Contract Augmentation Program (AFCAP) base operations contract contributed to revenue and adjusted EBITDA growth offset by the completion of the APK Somalia task order.

Training and Mentoring:

  • Revenue increased from the new ANP-MoI contract, increased volume under the CivPol-Afghanistan National Police task order as well as continued operations under the CSTC-A and MNSTC-I contracts.  This increase was partially offset by a decline in the CivPol program primarily from the transition of the Afghanistan work from the Department of State contract to the new ANP-MoI contract with the Department of Defense and lower volume in Iraq. 

Security Services:

  • Both Revenue and adjusted EBITDA were negatively impacted under the Security Services business area with the completion of the Qatar security guard contract in 2010 and reduced demand under the Worldwide Personal Protective Services business.

Global Platform Support Solutions (GPSS) First Quarter Highlights:
GPSS segment revenue of $306.2 million represents 34.6% of our total revenue for the three months ended April 1, 2011, a decrease of 9.8% over the first quarter 2010.  GPSS also reported adjusted EBITDA of $18.8 million for the first quarter 2010, a 28.2% decrease from the comparable period in 2010.  The results were primarily driven by the following:

Aviation:

  • Revenue was negatively impacted by the loss of the LCCS-Army contract in late 2010, partially offset by performance under the new Fort Campbell and Saudi Arabia MSS contracts as well as volume under the Counter-Narcoterrorism Technology Program Office (CNTPO) contract.  

Air Operations:

  • Revenue increased due to demand for secure aviation transport in Iraq and Afghanistan, partially offset by the completion of construction work in Iraq in 2010. Profitability decreased, compared to first quarter of 2010, as a result of the revenue mix.

Operations and Maintenance:

  • Revenue and adjusted EBITDA were negatively impacted in the first quarter of 2011, compared to the first quarter of 2010, primarily driven by lower volume and profitability under the MRAP program.

Global Linguist Solutions (GLS) First Quarter Highlights:

  • Adjusted EBITDA of $4.7M for the first quarter of 2011 was down $1.1 million or 19.0% from the comparable quarter in 2010 and was driven by a reduction in deployed linguists in support of U.S. troop levels in Iraq, which has trended lower during the past year.

Total backlog as of April 1, 2011 of $4.3 billion represents a decrease of approximately $488.0 million since December 31, 2010. The decrease was primarily due to timing of orders.
 
Cash From Operating Activities (CFOA) of $25.8 million for the first quarter of 2011 benefited from $48.1 million in tax refunds, including $46.0 million from an approved change in accounting method, but was negatively impacted by an increase in working capital primarily driven by higher DSO from the CivPol contract.
