Revenues were $3.49 billion for the quarter and $13.74 billion for the year, up 7% and 12% over the comparable 2020 periods, respectively. Excluding acquired revenues of $52 million for the quarter and $325 million for the year, organic revenues increased 6% and 9%, respectively. For the year revenues grew organically across all reportable segments. The largest contributors for the quarter and the year were the increase in veterans' disability examinations after the pause from the COVID-19 pandemic and the ramp-up of the Navy Next Generation Enterprise Network Recompete (NGEN-R) Service Management, Integration and Transport (SMIT) contract.
Net income was $176 million, or $1.23 per diluted share, for the quarter, and $759 million, or $5.27 per diluted share, for the year. Net income margin for the quarter was 5.0%. The weighted average diluted share count for the quarter was 142 million, compared to 144 million in the prior year quarter. For the year net income and diluted EPS were both up 21% compared to fiscal year 2020. Net income margin for the year increased to 5.5% from 5.1% in fiscal year 2020 as a result of strong program management, higher volumes on certain fixed price programs and $26 million net benefit from an adjustment to legal reserves related to the Mission Support Alliance joint venture recorded in the first quarter of fiscal year 2021.
Adjusted EBITDA was $359 million for the fourth quarter, representing an adjusted EBITDA margin of 10.3%. For the year adjusted EBITDA was $1.51 billion (11.0% margin), up 14% over fiscal year 2020. Non-GAAP net income was $224 million for the quarter and $952 million for the year, which generated non-GAAP diluted EPS of $1.56 for the quarter and $6.62 for the year. For the year non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted EPS were up 13% and 14%, respectively, compared to fiscal year 2020.
Cash Flow Summary
Net cash provided by operating activities for the quarter was $210 million for an operating cash flow conversion ratio of 121%. After adjusting for payments for property, equipment and software, quarterly free cash flow was $177 million for a free cash flow conversion ratio of 80%. For the year net cash provided by operating activities was $1.03 billion (137% conversion) and free cash flow was $927 million (98% conversion).
For the quarter Leidos used $37 million in investing activities and $69 million in financing activities. For the year Leidos used $730 million in investing activities and $113 million in financing activities. On November 22, 2021, Leidos signed a definitive agreement within the Defense Solutions segment to dispose of its Aviation & Missile Solutions LLC ("AMS") business to focus on leading-edge and technologically advanced services, solutions and products. The sales price will be approximately $18 million, subject to certain adjustments, and the sale is expected to be completed during the first quarter of fiscal year 2022.
During fiscal year 2021, Leidos made open market repurchases of common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $237 million and returned $199 million to shareholders as part of its regular quarterly cash dividend program. In addition, Leidos borrowed $380 million, paid down $106 million of debt and completed strategic acquisitions and investments for preliminary purchase consideration of approximately $627 million. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had $727 million in cash and cash equivalents and $5.1 billion in debt.
On February 11, 2022, the Leidos Board of Directors declared that Leidos will pay a cash dividend of $0.36 per share on March 31, 2022, to stockholders of record at the close of business on March 15, 2022. In addition, the Board authorized a stock repurchase program under which Leidos may repurchase up to 20 million shares of its common stock, which supersedes the prior February 2018 share repurchase authorization. Stock repurchases may be made on the open market at prevailing market prices or in privately negotiated transactions including through accelerated share repurchase or derivative transactions, transactions with Leidos retirement and deferred compensation plans, transactions under 10b5-1 plans or 10b-18 plans or any of the foregoing combined or otherwise. Whether repurchases are made and the timing and actual number of shares repurchased depends on a variety of factors including price, corporate capital requirements, other market conditions and regulatory requirements. The repurchase program may be accelerated, suspended, delayed or discontinued at any time.
New Business Awards
Net bookings totaled $3.2 billion in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2021 and $15.5 billion for fiscal year 2021, representing a book-to-bill ratio of 0.9 and 1.1, respectively. As a result, backlog at the end of fiscal year 2021 was $34.5 billion, of which $7.4 billion was funded. Included in the quarterly bookings were several notable awards:
•Air Combat Command Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Program. Leidos was awarded a task order by the Air Combat Command (ACC) Acquisition Management and Integration Center (AMIC) to continue its support to ACC intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) operations. Under the
2
contract, Leidos will provide subject matter expertise and threat mitigation support for ACC ISR operations along with a full range of intelligence support and ISR operational services that encompass analysis and assessment support, ISR training support and intelligence support for HQ ACC Staff, subordinate NAF Staffs, Centers and Wings. The single-award, firm-fixed price task order has a one-year base period of performance, four one-year options and a total contract value of up to approximately $531 million if all options are exercised.
•Hypersonic Thermal Protection System Capability. Dynetics, a wholly owned subsidiary of Leidos, was awarded a contract to develop Hypersonic Thermal Protection System (TPS) prototypes for the U.S. Army's Rapid Capabilities and Critical Technologies Office (RCCTO). Under the contract, Dynetics will also support materials research, novel inspection and acceptance efforts. The cost-plus-fixed fee award has a total value of up to $479 million over six years.
•Federal Parent Locator Service. Leidos was awarded a new prime contract to continue supporting the Office of Child Support Enforcement (OCSE) within the Department of Health and Human Services, Administration of Children and Families. Under the contract, Leidos will continue to support OCSE's Federal Parent Locator Service (FPLS) with operations and maintenance, continuation of system development and enhancement, data center operations and a disaster recovery center. The single award contract has a maximum value of $76 million and a period of performance of approximately five years if all options are exercised.
Forward Guidance
Leidos is initiating fiscal year 2022 guidance as specified in the table below.
Measure
FY22 Guidance
Revenues (billions)
$13.9 - $14.3
Adjusted EBITDA Margin
10.3% - 10.5%
Non-GAAP Diluted EPS
$6.10 - $6.50
Cash Flows Provided by Operating Activities (billions)
at or above $1.0
A provision of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 went into effect on January 1, 2022, that requires companies to capitalize and amortize research and development costs over five years rather than deducting such costs in the year incurred for tax purposes. The guidance for cash flows provided by operating activities does not take into account the effects of this legislative change, because it assumes that the provision will be deferred, modified or repealed. If the provision remains in effect, Leidos currently estimates that cash flows provided by operating activities would decrease by approximately $150 million in fiscal 2022 and net deferred tax assets would increase by a similar amount. The actual impact on cash flows provided by operating activities will depend on the amount of research and development costs the Company will incur, on whether Congress modifies or repeals this provision and on whether new guidance and interpretive rules are issued by the US Treasury, among other factors.
For information regarding adjusted EBITDA margin and non-GAAP diluted EPS, see the related explanations and reconciliations to GAAP measures included elsewhere in this release.
Leidos does not provide a reconciliation of forward-looking adjusted EBITDA margins or non-GAAP diluted EPS to net income margin or diluted EPS, due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliation. Because certain deductions for non-GAAP exclusions used to calculate projected net income may vary significantly based on actual events, Leidos is not able to forecast on a GAAP basis with reasonable certainty all deductions needed in order to provide a GAAP calculation of projected net income margin, diluted EPS or net income attributable to Leidos shareholders at this time. The amounts of these deductions may be material and, therefore, could result in projected net income margin, net income attributable to Leidos shareholders and diluted EPS being materially less than projected adjusted EBITDA margins and non-GAAP diluted EPS.

Defense Solutions
Defense Solutions revenues were $2.06 billion for the quarter and $8.03 billion for the year, up 7% and 9% over the comparable 2020 periods, respectively. Excluding acquisition revenues of $52 million for the quarter and $232 million for the year, the primary drivers of revenue growth were the ramp-up of the Navy NGEN-R SMIT contract and other recent wins, which offset the completion of the NASA Human Landing System base contract and the programs supporting operations in Afghanistan.
Variations in segment operating margin were relatively modest. Defense Solutions operating income margin for the quarter was 6.8%, compared to 7.6% in the prior year quarter. On a non-GAAP basis, operating margin for the quarter was 8.2%, compared to 8.9% in the prior year quarter. Defense Solutions operating income margin for fiscal year 2021 was 7.1%, compared to 6.9% in the prior year. On a non-GAAP basis, operating margin for the year was 8.6% compared to 8.2% in the prior year.

Civil revenues for the quarter were $800 million, compared to $811 million in fourth quarter of fiscal year 2020, as lower deliveries of security products outweighed increased demand on existing programs with commercial energy providers, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), and the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the transfer of a small number of programs from the Defense Solutions segment. For the year Civil revenues increased from $2.99 billion in fiscal year 2020 to $3.16 billion as on-contract growth across many programs and a full year of contribution from the L3Harris Technologies' security detection and automation businesses acquisition.
Civil operating income margin for the quarter was 7.6%, compared to 11.0% in the prior year quarter. On a non-GAAP basis, operating margin for the quarter was 10.0%, compared to 12.3% in the prior year quarter. Civil operating income margin for fiscal year 2021 was 7.9%, compared to 9.4% in the prior year. On a non-GAAP basis, operating margin for the year was 10.2%, compared to 11.7% in the prior year. The declines in segment profitability for the quarter and the year were primarily attributable to lower volumes of security product deliveries.
Health
Health revenues were $630 million for the quarter and $2.55 billion for the year, up 23% and 30% over the comparable 2020 periods, respectively. Revenue increases for the quarter and the year were primarily driven by the increase in medical examinations after the pause from the COVID-19 pandemic as well as increased volumes on the Defense Healthcare Management System Modernization (DHMSM) program and the ramp up of new programs such as the Military and Family Life Counseling (MFLC) program.
Health operating income margin for the quarter was 16.3%, compared to 16.8% in the prior year quarter. On a non-GAAP basis, operating margin for the quarter decreased from 18.5% in the prior year quarter to 17.8%, primarily from investments to enhance the long-term program execution on certain fixed-price programs. Health operating income margin for fiscal year 2021 was 17.3%, compared to 12.0% in the prior year. On a non-GAAP basis, operating margin for the year increased from 14.4% in fiscal year 2020 to 18.8%, primarily from increased volume on fixed unit price programs and higher direct labor utilization on those programs.

LEIDOS HOLDINGS, INC.
UNAUDITED BACKLOG BY REPORTABLE SEGMENT
(in millions)
Backlog represents the estimated amount of future revenues to be recognized under negotiated contracts. Backlog value is based on management’s estimates about volume of services, availability of customer funding and other factors, and excludes contracts that are under protest. Estimated backlog comprises both funded and negotiated unfunded backlog. Backlog estimates are subject to change and may be affected by several factors including modifications of contracts, non-exercise of options and foreign currency movements.
Funded backlog for contracts with the U.S. government represents the value on contracts for which funding is appropriated less revenues previously recognized on these contracts. Funded backlog for contracts with non-U.S. government entities and commercial customers represents the estimated value on contracts, which may cover multiple future years, under which Leidos is obligated to perform, less revenue previously recognized on the contracts.
Negotiated unfunded backlog represents estimated amounts of revenue to be earned in the future from contracts for which funding has not been appropriated and unexercised priced contract options. Negotiated unfunded backlog does not include unexercised option periods and future potential task orders expected to be awarded under IDIQ, General Services Administration Schedule or other master agreement contract vehicles, with the exception of certain IDIQ contracts where task orders are not competitively awarded or separately priced but instead are used as a funding mechanism, and where there is a basis for estimating future revenues and funding on future anticipated task orders.
The estimated value of backlog as of the dates presented was as follows:

LEIDOS HOLDINGS, INC.
UNAUDITED NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
Leidos uses and refers to organic growth, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating margin, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, non-GAAP diluted EPS, free cash flow and free cash flow conversion, which are not measures of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. and, accordingly, these measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the comparable GAAP measures and should be read in conjunction with Leidos's consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Management believes that these non-GAAP measures provide another measure of the results of operations and financial condition, including its ability to comply with financial covenants. These non-GAAP measures are frequently used by financial analysts covering Leidos and its peers. The computation of non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies, thus limiting their use for comparability.
Organic growth captures the revenue growth that is inherent in the underlying business excluding the impact of acquisitions made within the prior year; it is computed as current revenues excluding acquisition revenues within the last 12 months divided by previous year revenues.
Non-GAAP operating income is computed by excluding the following discrete items from operating income:
•Acquisition, integration and restructuring costs – Represents acquisition, integration, lease termination and severance costs related to acquisitions.
•Amortization of acquired intangible assets – Represents the amortization of the fair value of the acquired intangible assets.
•Amortization of equity method investment – Represents the amortization of the fair value of the acquired
equity method investment.
•Acquisition related financing costs – Represents the amortization of the debt financing commitments in connection with acquisitions.
•Loss on debt modification – Represents the write-off of debt discount and debt issuance costs as a result of debt modifications.
•Asset impairment charges – Represents impairments of long-lived tangible assets.
•Loss on sale of business – Represents the net loss on sale of businesses.
Non-GAAP operating margin is computed by dividing non-GAAP operating income by revenues.
Adjusted EBITDA is computed by excluding the following items from income before income taxes: (i) discrete items as identified above; (ii) interest expense; (iii) interest income; (iv) depreciation expense; and (v) amortization of internally developed intangible assets.
Adjusted EBITDA margin is computed by dividing adjusted EBITDA by revenues.
Non-GAAP net income is computed by excluding the discrete items listed under non-GAAP operating income and their related tax impacts.
Non-GAAP diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income attributable to Leidos common stockholders, adjusted for the discrete items as identified above and the related tax impacts, by the diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding.
Free cash flow is computed by deducting expenditures for property, equipment and software from net cash provided by operating activities.
Free cash flow conversion is computed by dividing free cash flow by non-GAAP net income attributable to Leidos common stockholders; operating cash flow conversion is computed by dividing net cash provided by operating activities by net income attributable to Leidos shareholders.
