FALLS CHURCH, Va. - (August 13, 2012) - Delta Tucker Holdings, Inc. ("Holdings"), the parent of DynCorp International Inc. ("DI", and together with Holdings, the "Company"), a global government services provider supporting national security and foreign policy objectives, today reported second quarter 2012 operational results with revenue of $961.1 million, an increase of 4.6% over second quarter 2011. Net income attributable to Holdings was $9.0 million for the quarter, representing a 170% increase from the reported $3.3 million in net income attributable to Holdings in second quarter 2011.
"Our wins in Aviation and Global Logistics and Development Solutions groups were particular bright spots this quarter," said Steve Gaffney, chairman and chief executive officer, DynCorp International. "Not only did we reaffirm our position in the Philippines, and further strengthen our relationship with the Air Force through several new programs, but we recaptured an important position in support of the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment at Fort Campbell. Even amid significant challenges for our industry, this team is strong and thriving."
Second Quarter and Other Recent Highlights
Summary Operating Results
Revenue for the second quarter of $961.1 million was up 4.6% from the same quarter in 2011 based on: new contract wins within the Aviation Group along with continued strong demand under the Department of State Bureau for International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs ("INL") -Air Wing contract primarily due to secure air transportation services in Iraq and Afghanistan and construction services in Iraq; continued growth under the Logistics and Civil Augmentation Program ("LOGCAP") IV contract; performance of new contracts under the Security Services Group; the ramp-up of the Oshkosh Defense contract under Global Logistics & Development Solutions ("GLDS"); and increased volume under the Afghanistan Ministry of Defense Program ("AMDP"). Revenue growth in the quarter was partially offset by lower volume under the International Civilian Police Program ("CivPol") in both Iraq and Afghanistan, and the completion of the Multinational Security Transition Command-Iraq ("MNSTC-I") contract.
Second quarter net income attributable to Holdings was $9.0 million compared to $3.3 million reported in the comparable period in 2011. The change in net income attributable to Holdings was due primarily to revenue growth noted above with higher operating margins, primarily relating to the Aviation and GLDS Groups, and lower interest expense as a result of the $151.3 million in debt the Company retired during 2011. These benefits were partially offset by lower profitability driven by the mix of increased business under the AMDP contract and lower demand under the CivPol contract as the AMDP contract carries lower margins based on its cost responsive nature and lack of fee on certain other direct costs. Additionally, the Company recorded lower earnings from equity method investees related to the GLS joint venture.
Adjusted EBITDA for second quarter 2012 was $51.8 million or $8.0 million higher than the comparable period in 2011 primarily due to the net income items discussed above and the impact of higher cash received from unconsolidated affiliates.
"I am pleased to report the Company exceeded its internal revenue and earnings plan this quarter, with the Aviation Group leading the way. Aviation's recent wins, coupled with productivity gains on their fixed price contracts, drove margin expansion in the quarter," said Bill Kansky, chief financial officer. "We are also excited about a small acquisition that occurred just after the quarter. The acquisition of Heliworks LLC adds commercial aviation, and maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) capabilities to the already robust and longstanding aviation expertise offered in the DynCorp International portfolio."
Reportable Segments Results:
LOGCAP
Revenue of $417.5 million increased $15.5 million, or 3.9%, during the three months ended June 29, 2012, compared to the three months ended July 1, 2011, primarily as a result of continued increased demand for services under the Afghanistan task order. During the quarter DI received award fee determination letters that were, in the aggregate, higher than previous estimates and resulted in an aggregate adjustment to revenue of $2.0 million for the quarter.
Adjusted EBITDA of $10.6 million increased $0.7 million, or 7.5%, for the three months ended June 29, 2012, compared with the three months ended July 1, 2011, as a result of the increase in volume discussed above. As a percentage of revenue, Adjusted EBITDA was relatively flat at 2.5%, for the second quarter of 2012 compared to the second quarter of 2011.
Aviation
Revenue of $313.2 million increased $43.4 million, or 16.1%, during the three months ended June 29, 2012, compared to the three months ended July 1, 2011. The change was primarily the result of an increase in demand under the INL Air Wing program for intra-theater transportation services in Iraq and Afghanistan and construction services in Iraq and growth under the Counter-Narcoterrorism Technology Program Office ("CNTPO") contract. Operations under the new Naval Test Wing Patuxent River MD ("Pax River") contract and the new task orders under the CFT program, including the Regional Aviation Support Management-West ("RASM-W"), Fort Drum and NASA Amos contracts, also contributed to the increase in revenue for the three months ended June 29, 2012.
Adjusted EBITDA of $29.2 million increased $9.5 million, or 48.4%, during the three months ended June 29, 2012, compared to the three months ended July 1, 2011, primarily as a result of the increased volume discussed above, including new contracts, and improved performance under the CNTPO program. The new contracts are also operating at higher margins relative to the overall contract mix in the prior year which is the primary driver of the increase in Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue to 9.3% for the three months ended June 29, 2012, from 7.3% for the three months ended July 1, 2011.
Training and Intelligence Solutions
Revenue of $132.3 million decreased $29.3 million, or 18.1%, during the three months ended June 29, 2012, compared to the three months ended July 1, 2011. The decrease was primarily driven by the ramp-down of operations under the CivPol program and the loss of revenue from the MNSTC-I program, which concluded during calendar year 2011. The decrease in revenue was partially offset by increased volume under the AMDP program which was fully operational beginning in the third quarter of 2011.
Adjusted EBITDA of $4.7 million decreased $5.8 million, or 55.3%, during the three months ended June 29, 2012, compared to the three months ended July 1, 2011, primarily as a result of the decreases in volume discussed above partially offset by increased volume under the AMDP program for the three months ended June 29, 2012. The replacement of the CivPol Afghanistan program with the AMDP program, which operates at lower margins due to a cost-reimbursable contract structure that does not provide for fees on certain components, drove the decrease in Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue to 3.6% for the second quarter 2012 from 6.5% for the second quarter 2011.
Global Logistics & Development Solutions
Revenue of $70.7 million decreased $2.9 million, or 3.9%, during the three months ended June 29, 2012, compared to the three months ended July 1, 2011, primarily as a result of the completion of several contracts during calendar year 2011 under the subsidiary Casals & Associates, Inc. and the Air Force Contract Augmentation Program ("AFCAP") contract. The decrease in revenue was partially offset by operations under the Egyptian Personnel Support Services ("EPSS") contract, which began in May 2012, and revenue growth under the Oshkosh Defense and War Reserve Materiel ("WRM") programs.
Adjusted EBITDA of $7.0 million increased $3.9 million, or 126.0%, during the second quarter of 2012 compared to the second quarter 2011. During the three months ended July 1, 2011 Adjusted EBITDA was impacted by a non-recurring contract loss incurred to strategically enter into to service areas within Afghanistan. Adjusted EBITDA was also positively impacted during the three months ended June 29, 2012, by the new operations under the EPSS contract as well as improved margin performance under the Oshkosh Defense and WRM programs. These margin improvements also drove the increase in Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue to 9.9% for the three months ended June 29, 2012, from 4.2% for the three months ended July 1, 2011.
Security Services
Revenue of $27.4 million increased $14.5 million, or 112.7%, during the three months ended June 29, 2012, compared to the three months ended July 1, 2011, primarily as a result of the replacement of the Worldwide Personal Protection Program ("WPPS") with the higher volume Worldwide Protective Services ("WPS") program during calendar year 2011, and the addition of the Chemonics and Bondsteel contracts, which became operational during the first quarter of 2012.
Adjusted EBITDA loss of $1.5 million for three months ended June 29, 2012, as compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $0.8 million for the three months ended July 1, 2011, was primarily due to general and administrative expenses incurred during the period.
Liquidity
Cash provided by operating activities during the six months ended June 29, 2012 was $52.8 million as compared to cash provided by operating activities of $76.2 million during the six months ended July 1, 2011. On a comparative basis, cash flow from operations during the six months ended June 29, 2012 was lower than the six months ended July 1, 2011 due to the non-recurring income tax refund received during the first quarter of calendar year 2011. Cash provided by operations for the six months ended June 29, 2012 was primarily the result of the release of restricted cash, the utilization of prepaid expenses and the increase in accounts payable partially offset by the growth in revenue out-pacing collections on our accounts receivable. Cash provided by operating activities during the six months ended July 1, 2011 was primarily due to $48.0 million in income tax refunds received in the first quarter of calendar year 2011 related to the approved Change in Accounting Methodology ("CIAM") with the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS").
DSO for the quarter increased six days from first quarter ended March 30, 2012, primarily as a result of a LOGCAP IV receipt that came in on the first day of the third quarter in 2012.
The cash balance at the end of the quarter was $77.6 million after the Company made a $30 million voluntary principal payment on its secured term loan. The Company did not have any borrowings under its revolving credit facility at quarter end.

Reconciliation to GAAP
In addition to the Company's financial results reported in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") included in this press release, the Company has provided certain financial measures that are not calculated according to GAAP, including EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. We define EBITDA as GAAP net income attributable to the Company Adjusted for interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by adjusting EBITDA for certain noncash items from operations and certain other items as defined in our 10.375% Senior Unsecured Notes and our Credit Facility. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating operating performance and are regularly used by security analysts, institutional investors and other interested parties in reviewing the Company. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is useful in assessing our ability to generate cash to cover our debt obligations including interest and principal payments. Non-GAAP financial measures, such as EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not intended to be a substitute for any GAAP financial measure and, as calculated, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of the performance of other companies.
For a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures please see the financial schedules accompanying this release.
