MESSAGE   
FROM THE   
CHAIRMAN   
AND CEO

Dear Fellow Stockholders, 
In our first full year as an independent public company, 
we demonstrated significant progress in our strategy 
execution, delivering solid financial performance and 
total shareholder return of more than 50 percent since 
our spin in September 2013. We redefined the company 
and achieved these results through our relentless focus 
on performance, contract execution, customer-centered 
innovation, and better technology integration –  
all supported by increased enterprise collaboration 
leveraging the full power of SAIC.

WE DELIVERED SOLID FINANCIAL AND OPERATIONAL 
PERFORMANCE IN A CHALLENGING MARKET 
The U.S. federal government, our primary customer, 
is making progress prioritizing spending in the 
challenging budget environment, but we continue to 
experience contract award delays, increased protest 
activity, and shorter funding cycles. In this difficult 
federal market backdrop, our revenue contracted  
4.5 percent from $4.02 billion to $3.84 billion1.  
Our topline performance, however, compared 
favorably to industry peers. 

Despite these headwinds, we experienced modest 
year-over-year revenue growth in our third and 
fourth quarters1. As planned, we also improved our 
operating margin and generated substantial cash 
flow. Other key fiscal 2015 financial metrics were  
equally outstanding:

•  Operating income increased 31 percent, from $183 

million in FY142 to $240 million, with operating margins 
increasing from 4.6 percent to 6.3 percent.

•  Net income was up 25 percent, from $113 million  

to $141 million.

•  Diluted earnings per share increased 28 percent,  

from $2.27 to $2.91.

•  Operating cash flow improved by more than 51 percent, 

from $183 million to $277 million. 

•  We repurchased 3.5 million shares, or 7 percent of our 

outstanding shares, for $150 million since the initiation  
of our repurchase program in December 2013.

We were able to attain many of these early successes 
through a concerted series of internal efforts, known 
as the Margin Optimization and Value Enhancement 
(MOVE) initiatives. MOVE was designed to improve 
contract performance, reduce indirect costs, increase 
operating margins, and accelerate cash flow. For 
example, SAIC labor content on contracts increased 
from 54 percent to 58 percent as we shifted some 
technical work from subcontractors to our own 
employees. The labor mix increase of 4 percent had a 
positive impact on operating margin of 20 basis points. 

2        SAIC 2015 Annual Report

As described in last year’s stockholder letter, we 
reorganized our operating structure to facilitate broad 
collaboration and integration across the enterprise. 
The matrix operating model enabled us to improve 
market segmentation and customer account plans, 
resulting in a stronger business development pipeline 
with higher bid fees. Today, we are more effective, 
innovative, and responsive to customer requirements 
in an increasingly competitive environment. 

The benefits of this differentiated matrix operating 
model have been widespread, as demonstrated by 
improved key business development indicators, 
including win rates that are 10 percentage points 
higher, and overall 60 percent on contract awards. 

51%T O TA L  S H A RE HOL DE R  RE T URN 3

Our operating model also allows us to better leverage 
the talent we have by efficiently redeploying and hiring 
key personnel. We are seeking to improve hiring and 
retention practices, targeting Millennials and veterans 
as well as building greater diversity in our workforce. 
Last year, for instance, we refocused our college 
recruiting efforts, with a target of hiring 10 percent 
of new employees from select college campuses to 
rebalance our workforce with innovative young talent.

WE REMAIN COMMITTED  
TO OUR STRATEGIC PRIORITIES 
Although FY15 was a year of solid performance,  
we are committed to continuous improvement as we 
further optimize our operating model and prioritize 
our investments in the year ahead. Our top priorities 
for FY16 are:

•  Grow revenues at a low single-digit rate4.  

Our strategy for organic revenue growth remains 
unchanged: protect programs and contract  
re-competes with existing customers; expand 
our portfolio by providing additional services to 
existing customers; and grow SAIC’s engagement 
with new customers through technology 
transfer of proven solutions. We are armed with 
the experience of delivering excellence to our 
customers and the goal of becoming a premier 
technology integrator across the full system 
lifecycle, from design through sustainment. 

• 

Improve our operating margins by 10 to 20 basis 
points4. Many of our MOVE initiatives  
have been institutionalized in our first full year, 
and we expect to see continued improvements  
to our operating margins each year. 

•  Optimize our operational structure and further 
increase enterprise collaboration. The new 
integrated strength of SAIC has led to some 
breakthrough wins, such as the initial contract 
award in May 2014 to conduct preliminary 
and critical design reviews on the U.S. Marine 
Corps’ Assault Amphibious Vehicle (AAV) at our 
Charleston, South Carolina, facilities.

 4 Revenue growth and operating margin improvement targets are on average and over time

Our Navy and Marine 
Corps team aligned with 
our Hardware Integration, 
Logistics and Software service 
lines to finalize our design and 
AAV prototype. This collaboration 
led to winning the AAV prime contract 
in the first few weeks of FY16 to perform 
survivability and mobility upgrades to 10 
AAV prototypes. If all options are exercised, this 
contract could lead to delivering 52 vehicles for 
operational test and evaluation, valued at about 
$194 million over five years. 

Through the differentiated capabilities 
demonstrated on previous vehicle upgrade 
programs, we were able to leverage our domain 
knowledge to the Marine Corps and help ensure 
warfighter safety and amphibious mission 
success. This important effort is an example 
of our strategy to expand work with current 
customers by leveraging our technical capabilities 
and innovating to deliver an enhanced yet cost 
effective solution.

TODAY, WE ARE MORE EFFECTIVE, INNOVATIVE, AND RESPONSIVE 
TO CUSTOMER REQUIREMENTS IN AN INCREASINGLY COMPETITIVE 
ENVIRONMENT. 

• 

Invest in our employees and technical solutions 
to create differentiated offerings. As we move into 
the next phase of our development, we are placing 
greater emphasis on refining our “people strategy.” 
Our employees are our most valuable asset, and we 
want to ensure that our enterprise goals reflect our 
commitment to them. 

We are shaping a culture that empowers the 
workforce and draws upon the collective creativity 
of all employees. Last summer, we conducted a 
series of employee surveys designed to baseline how 
we’re doing as a new company in terms of culture, 
engagement, and ethics. Overall, we were pleased 
with the findings, which underscore our employees’ 
dedication to our customers and their missions, and 
to our ethical work environment.

However, our employees also told us some of our 
greatest opportunities for improvement were to 
more clearly articulate a vision and strategy; invest 
more in leadership and employee development; and 
increase the understanding of our operating model 
so that we can work even more efficiently.

We addressed those concerns at our annual 
leadership offsite in February, when we rolled out 
new vision and mission statements aligned to our 
strategy, and an enhanced set of SAIC core values. 
And we introduced a new brand identity, captured 
in the phrase Redefining Ingenuity, which pays 
homage to more than four decades of integrity 
and mission understanding and also reflects the 
collaboration and team empowerment of current 
and future SAIC.

•  Complete the acquisition of Scitor Holdings Corp. 

and integrate the company into SAIC. To address 
our desire to accelerate growth and increase 
competitiveness, we announced on March 2 that 
we signed a definitive agreement to acquire Scitor 
Holdings Inc. for $790 million. Reston, Virginia-
based Scitor is a premier intelligence company 
that will expand our access into the intelligence 
community and into the U.S. Air Force. The 
transaction is expected to close in May 2015. 

•  Deploy capital in excess of operating needs. 

SAIC’s strong cash generation enables a return of 
capital to stockholders through regular quarterly 
standard dividends of $0.28 per share and 
opportunistic share repurchases. For the next 12 to 
18 months, however, we intend to pay down debt 
associated with the Scitor acquisition, until we 
reach a targeted debt to EDITBA ratio that is less 
than 3 times. 

WE LOOK FORWARD TO A BRIGHT 
FUTURE, WITH OUR FIRST FULL 
YEAR OF OPERATION PROVIDING 
A HEALTHY FOUNDATION FROM 
WHICH TO GROW. 

4        SAIC 2015 Annual Report

WE ARE OPTIMISTIC ABOUT OUR FUTURE 
We remain cautiously optimistic on federal 
government budgets as no significant shifts are 
expected. We will refine our operating model and 
continue to build more effective working relationships 
across the enterprise. We look forward to a bright 
future, with our first full year of operation providing  
a healthy foundation from which to grow. 

Specifically, with our acquisition of Scitor, we will be 
gaining access to new customers as well as a broader 
set of capabilities and services that further enhance our 
offerings. This acquisition represents an opportunity 
to further transform SAIC as a $4.5 billion technology 
integrator, with pro forma revenue reflecting a more 
diversified portfolio of 63 percent of revenues from 
the Department of Defense, 26 percent from federal 
civilian and other agencies, and 11 percent from the 
intelligence community. 

The end of FY15 and the early part of FY16 were an 
active time for us. In addition to the Scitor acquisition, 
we also named two new directors to our Board: 
Timothy Mayopoulos, president and CEO of the 
Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie 
Mae), and Deborah Dunie, former chief technology 
officer from CACI International Inc. Tim has a legal 
background, deep experience in financial services, 
and a strong track record working in a highly 
regulated environment; Deb brings three decades  
of working in both the intelligence industry and  
the Defense Department. 

As we welcome our new directors, it is with great 
fondness that we thank longtime SAIC Director Jere 
Drummond, former CEO and President of BellSouth 
Communications Group, for his service as he retires 
from the Board effective June 2015. 

And finally, our industry and the business community 
lost a remarkable man in December with the passing 
of SAIC founder, Dr. J. Robert Beyster. Without  
Dr. Beyster’s dedication and passion for science and 
business applied to solving the most complex national 
security problems, the next-generation SAIC would not 
be the company it is today. 

Along with all of us at SAIC, we continue to be 
inspired by Dr. Beyster’s principles, including his 
dedication to customers and employees and his 
desire to embrace a challenge and make a profound 
difference. We proudly carry the SAIC name with us  
to this day, and are committed to upholding and 
growing its legacy.

Part I 

Item 1. Business 

The Company 

Science Applications International Corporation (herein referred to as “SAIC”, the “Company”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) is a 
leading provider of technical, engineering and enterprise information technology (IT) services primarily to the U.S. 
government, including the Department of Defense (DoD) and federal civilian agencies. We provide systems engineering 
and integration offerings for large, complex government projects and offer a broad range of services with a targeted 
emphasis on higher-end, differentiated technical capabilities. We commenced operations on September 27, 2013 (the 
Distribution Date) following completion of a spin-off transaction from our former parent company, Leidos Holdings, Inc. 
(collectively with its consolidated subsidiaries, “former Parent”). 

Our business has a long and successful history, tracing its roots to the earliest days of former Parent when it was founded 
in 1969 as a scientific research and engineering firm. Our customers include all four branches of the U.S. military (Army, 
Air Force, Navy and Marines), U.S. Defense Logistics Agency, National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), 
U.S. Department of State and U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Our long-standing customer relationships 
have enabled us to achieve an in-depth understanding of our customers’ missions and provide differentiated service 
offerings to meet our customers’ most complex requirements. Our offerings include engineering and maintenance of 
ground and maritime systems, logistics, training and simulation, as well as operation and program support services, and 
end-to-end services spanning the design, development, integration, deployment, management and operations, 
sustainment and security of our customers’ entire IT infrastructure. We serve our customers through more than 1,500 
active contracts and task orders. We have approximately 13,000 employees that are led by an experienced executive 
team of proven industry leaders. 

Our following core strengths have supported our over 45-year history of successful performance on programs of national 
importance: 

Enduring Customer Relationships and Mission-Orientation. We have strong and long-lasting relationships with 
diverse customers throughout the U.S. government. Our track record of serving the missions of our government 
customers spans decades, including several enduring customer relationships that have lasted 20 years or more. Our 
employees, many of whom are deployed at customer sites, work closely with our customers in fulfilling their 
missions. Our strong customer relationships enable us to develop deep customer knowledge and translate our 
mission understanding into successful program execution and continued demand for our services. 

Full Lifecycle Offerings. With the breadth of our service offerings, we are able to meet customers’ needs across their 
mission lifecycles for both technical, engineering services and enterprise IT services. We integrate technologies and 
deliver services that provide our customers with end-to-end seamless solutions. Our services encompass the initial 
requirements definition phase, development and integration services, training, logistics, and sustainment. These 
lifecycle technical capabilities, combined with strong customer and mission knowledge, allow us to more effectively 
support our customers’ missions. 

Significant Scale and Diversified Contract Base. With approximately $4 billion in revenue in fiscal 2015, we are one 
of the largest pure play technical service providers to the U.S. government. Our significant scale advantage enables 
us to serve as prime systems integrator on large, complex programs and to allocate resources toward further 
developing and expanding our repeatable, proven solutions and differentiated technical capabilities. Our diversified 
revenue base consists of programs ranging from research and development to operations and maintenance. 

Technical Experts Led by Experienced Management. The quality, training and knowledge of our employees are 
important competitive assets. Our skilled workforce ranges from entry-level technicians to expert level professionals 
in network engineering, software design and development, and systems engineering. Additionally, much of our 
workforce holds an active security clearance, which is required on many of our existing programs and future 
program opportunities. 

Our workforce is led by a talented and experienced senior leadership team with a long history of solving our 
customers’ most difficult challenges in technical, engineering and enterprise IT services. Collectively, our executive 
team averages more than 25 years of industry experience, has served as senior leaders in public companies and 
are well recognized as leaders in their respective markets by customers and partners.

Repeatable Methodologies and Certified Processes. Our technical excellence is driven by our proven, disciplined 
processes for management, engineering, technical support and services. We deploy our tools and processes 
enterprise-wide and emphasize a consistent, company-wide approach to planning, designing, developing and 
delivering solutions and services to our customers. We hold certifications from the International Organization for 
Standardization (ISO), including ISO 9001:2008, ISO/IEC 27001, ISO 20000, AS9100, and ISO 27001, and from the 
Capability Maturity Model Integration Institute as a Development Maturity Level 3 organization. 

Effective February 1, 2014, the Company reorganized its operational structure by changing the composition of its 
operating segments to better align with the Company’s customer-oriented strategic growth initiatives. Each of the 
operating segments is focused on providing the Company’s comprehensive technical engineering and enterprise IT 
service offerings to its respective customer base. Our operating segments have been aggregated into one reportable 
segment for financial reporting purposes. 

For additional discussion and analysis related to recent business developments, see “Economic Opportunities, 
Challenges and Risks” in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in 
Part II of this Annual Report. 

Key Customers 

In each of fiscal 2015, 2014, and 2013, over 90% of our total revenues were attributable to prime contracts with the U.S. 
government or to subcontracts with other contractors engaged in work for the U.S. government. Substantially all of our 
revenues were earned by entities located in the United States. 

We generated more than 10% of our total revenues during each of the last three fiscal years from each of the U.S. Army 
and U.S. Navy. Each of these customers has a number of subordinate agencies, which have separate budgets and 
procurement functions. Our contracts may be with the highest level of these agencies, with the subordinate agencies of 
these customers or as a subcontractor to other contractors engaged in work for the same. The percentages of total 
revenues for the U.S. government, its agencies and other customers, including those comprising more than 10% of total 
revenues for each of the three years ended January 30, 2015 were:

Our business is heavily regulated and we must comply with and are affected by laws and regulations relating to the 
award, administration and performance of U.S. government and other contracts. U.S. government contracts generally are 
subject to the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), which sets forth policies, procedures and requirements for the 
acquisition of goods and services by the U.S. government. We may be subject to agency-specific regulations that 
supplement the FAR, such as the DoD’s Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement as well as other applicable 
laws and regulations. These regulations impose a broad range of requirements, many of which are unique to government 
contracting and include procurement, import and export, security, contract termination and adjustment and audit 
requirements. In addition, these regulations govern contract pricing and reimbursable costs by, among other things, 
requiring certification and disclosure of cost or pricing data in connection with certain contract negotiations, defining 
allowable and unallowable costs, and otherwise governing the right to reimbursement under various flexibly priced U.S. 
government contracts. These laws and regulations impose specific cost accounting practices that may increase costs 
associated with compliance with government standards for accounting and management internal control systems. 

The U.S. government has the ability to cancel contracts at any time through a termination for the convenience of the U.S. 
government. Most of our contracts have cancellation terms that would permit us to recover all or a portion of our incurred 
costs and fees for work performed when the U.S. government issues a termination for convenience.

The U.S. government may revise its procurement practices or adopt new contract rules and regulations at any time. In 
order to help ensure compliance with these complex laws and regulations, we have established policies and procedures 
to ensure employees adhere to applicable laws and regulations in addition to other required ethics and compliance 
training. 

Some of our operations and service offerings involve our access to and use of personally identifiable information and 
protected health information, which activities are regulated by extensive federal and state privacy and data security laws 
requiring organizations to provide certain privacy protections and security safeguards for such information. 

Internationally, we are subject to U.S. government laws and regulations, local government laws and regulations and 
procurement policies and practices (including laws and regulations relating to bribery of foreign government officials, 
import/export control, investments, exchange controls and repatriation of earnings) and varying political and economic 
risks. 

These regulations and risks are described in more detail under “Risk Factors” in this Annual Report. 

Contracts 

We must comply with and are affected by laws and regulations relating to the formation, administration and performance 
of U.S. government and other contracts. The U.S. government procurement environment has evolved due to statutory and 
regulatory procurement reform initiatives. Budgetary pressures and reforms in the procurement process have increasingly 
caused many U.S. government customers to purchase services and solutions using contracting processes that give them 
the ability to select multiple winners or pre-qualify certain contractors to provide various services or solutions on 
established general terms and conditions rather than through single award contracts. The predominant contracting 
methods through which U.S. government agencies procure services and solutions include the following: 

Single Award Contracts. U.S. government agencies may procure services and solutions through single award 
contracts which specify the scope of work that will be delivered and identify the contractor that will provide the 
specified services. When an agency has a requirement, interested contractors are solicited, qualified and then 
provided with a request for proposal. The process of qualifying prospective bidders, soliciting proposals and 
evaluation of contractor bids requires the agency to maintain a large, professional procurement staff and the bidding 
and selection process can take a year or more to complete. For the contractor, this method of contracting may 
provide greater certainty of the timing and amounts to be received at the time of contract award because it generally 
results in the customer contracting for a specific scope of work from the single successful awardee. 

Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Contracts. The U.S. government uses IDIQ contracts to obtain 
commitments from contractors to provide certain services or solutions on pre-established terms and conditions. The 
U.S. government then issues task orders under the IDIQ contracts to purchase the specific services or solutions it 
needs. IDIQ contracts are awarded to one or more contractors following a competitive procurement process. Under 
a single-award IDIQ contract, all task orders under that contract are awarded to one pre-selected contractor. Under 
a multi-award IDIQ contract, task orders can be awarded to any of the pre-selected contractors, which can result in 
further limited competition for the award of task orders. Multi-award IDIQ contracts that are open for any government 
agency to use for the procurement of services are commonly referred to as “government-wide acquisition contracts.” 
IDIQ contracts often have multi-year terms and unfunded ceiling amounts that enable, but not commit, the U.S. 
government to purchase substantial amounts of services or solutions from one or more contractors. At the time an 
IDIQ contract is awarded (prior to the award of any task orders), a contractor may have limited or no visibility as to 
the ultimate amount of services or solutions that the U.S. government will purchase under the contract, and, in the 
case of a multi-award IDIQ, the contractor from which such purchases may be made.

SCIENCE APPLICATIONS INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION 

U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) Schedule Contracts. The GSA maintains listings of approved suppliers 
of services and solutions with agreed-upon prices for use throughout the U.S. government. In order for a company to 
provide services under a GSA Schedule contract, a company must be pre-qualified and awarded a contract by the 
GSA. When an agency uses a GSA Schedule contract to meet its requirements, the agency, or the GSA on behalf of 
the agency, conducts the procurement. The user agency, or the GSA on its behalf, evaluates the user agency’s 
requirements and initiates a competition limited to GSA Schedule qualified contractors. GSA Schedule contracts are 
designed to provide the user agency with reduced procurement time and lower procurement costs. Similar to IDIQ 
contracts, at the time a GSA Schedule contract is awarded, a contractor may have limited or no visibility as to the 
ultimate amount of services or solutions that the U.S. government will purchase under the contract. 

Contract Types 

Generally, the type of contract for our services and solutions is determined by or negotiated with the U.S. government and 
may depend on certain factors, including the type and complexity of the work to be performed, degree and timing of the 
responsibility to be assumed by the contractor for the costs of performance, the extent of price competition and the 
amount and nature of the profit incentive offered to the contractor for achieving or exceeding specified standards or goals. 
We generate revenues under several types of contracts, including the following: 

•  Cost reimbursement contracts provide for reimbursement of our direct contract costs and allocable indirect costs, 
plus a fee. This type of contract is generally used when uncertainties involved in contract performance do not 
permit costs to be estimated with sufficient accuracy to use a fixed-price contract. Cost-reimbursement contracts 
usually subject us to lower risk but generally require us to use our best efforts to accomplish the scope of the work 
within a specified time and amount of costs. 

•  Time and materials (T&M) contracts typically provide for negotiated fixed hourly rates for specified categories of 
direct labor plus reimbursement of other direct costs. This type of contract is generally used when there is 
uncertainty of the extent or duration of the work to be performed by the contractor at the time of contract award or it 
is not possible to anticipate costs with any reasonable degree of confidence. On T&M contracts, we assume the 
risk of providing appropriately qualified staff to perform these contracts at the hourly rates set forth in the contracts 
over their period of performance. 

•  Firm-fixed price (FFP) contracts provide for a predetermined price for specific solutions, systems and/or services. 

These contracts offer us potential increased profits if we can complete the work at lower costs than planned. While 
FFP contracts allow us to benefit from cost savings, these contracts also increase our exposure to reduced profits 
or losses from increased or unexpected costs. 

Our earnings and profitability may vary materially depending on changes in the proportionate amount of revenues derived 
from each type of contract, the nature of services or solutions provided, as well as the achievement of performance 
objectives and the stage of performance at which the right to receive fees is finally determined. Given the relative amount 
of risk assumed by the contractor, cost-reimbursement and T&M contracts generally have lower profitability than FFP 
contracts. For the proportionate amount of revenues derived from each type of contract for the last three fiscal years, see 
“Other Key Performance Measures—Contract Types” in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition 
and Results of Operations” in Part II of this Annual Report. 

Selected Financial Data 

See “Selected Financial Data” in Part II of this Annual Report. 

Backlog 

Backlog represents the estimated amount of future revenues to be recognized under negotiated contracts as work is 
performed. Our backlog consists of funded backlog and negotiated unfunded backlog. At January 30, 2015 and January 
31, 2014 our total backlog was $6.2 billion and $6.7 billion, respectively. For a complete description of our backlog, see

Competition 

Competition for contracts is intense and we often compete against a large number of established multinational companies 
which may have greater name recognition, financial resources and larger technical staffs than we do. We also compete 
against smaller, more specialized companies that concentrate their resources on particular areas, as well as the U.S. 
government’s own capabilities. As a result of the diverse requirements of the U.S. government, we frequently collaborate 
with other companies to compete for large contracts and bid against these same companies in other situations. We 
believe that our principal competitors include the following: 

• 

• 

• 

• 

the engineering and technical services divisions of large defense contractors that provide U.S. government IT 
services, in addition to other hardware systems and products, which include companies such as General Dynamics 
Corporation, Lockheed Martin Corporation, Northrop Grumman Corporation, L-3 Communications Corporation and 
Raytheon Company; 

contractors focused principally on technical services, including U.S. government IT services, such as Booz Allen 
Hamilton Inc., Engility Holdings, Inc., CACI International, Inc., ManTech International Corporation, Serco Group plc 
and SRA International, Inc.; 

diversified commercial providers that also provide U.S. government IT services, such as Accenture plc, Computer 
Sciences Corporation, HP Enterprise Services, International Business Machines Corporation and Unisys 
Corporation; and 

and contractors providing supply chain management and other logistics services, such as Agility Logistics 
Corporation. 

We compete on various factors, which include our technical expertise and qualified professional and/or security-cleared 
personnel, our ability to deliver innovative cost-effective solutions in a timely manner, successful program execution, our 
reputation and standing with customers, pricing and the size and geographic presence of our company. 

Competition within the government services industry has intensified which has led to fewer sole-source awards and an 
increased emphasis on cost competitiveness and affordability. In addition, procurement initiatives to improve efficiency, 
refocus priorities and enhance best practices could result in fewer new opportunities for our industry as a whole, which 
would intensify competition within the industry as companies compete for a more limited set of new programs. 

Patents and Proprietary Information 

Our technical services and solutions are not generally dependent upon patent protection, although we do selectively seek 
patent protection. We claim a proprietary interest in certain of our solutions, software programs, methodologies and know-
how. This proprietary information is protected by copyrights, trade secrets, licenses, contracts and other means. We 
selectively pursue opportunities to license or transfer our technologies to third parties. 

In connection with the performance of services, the U.S. government has certain rights to inventions, data, software codes 
and related material that we develop under U.S. government-funded contracts and subcontracts. Generally, the U.S. 
government may disclose or license such information to third parties, including, in some instances, our competitors. In the 
case of some subcontracts that we perform, the prime contractor may also have certain rights to the programs and 
solutions that we develop under the subcontract.

Seasonality 

The U.S. government’s fiscal year ends on September 30. It is not uncommon for U.S. government agencies to award 
extra tasks or complete other contract actions in the timeframe leading up to the end of its fiscal year in order to avoid the 
loss of unexpended fiscal year funds, which may favorably impact our third fiscal quarter. In addition, as a result of the 
cyclical nature of the U.S. government budget process and a greater number of holidays in our fourth fiscal quarter, as 
compared to our third fiscal quarter, we may experience sequentially higher revenues in our third fiscal quarter and lower 
revenues in our fourth fiscal quarter. For selected quarterly financial data, see Note 14 of the notes to the consolidated 
and combined financial statements contained within this Annual Report. 

Environmental Matters 

Our operations are subject to various foreign, federal, state and local environmental protection and health and safety laws 
and regulations. Although we do not currently anticipate that the costs of complying with, or the liabilities associated with, 
environmental laws will materially and adversely affect us, we cannot ensure that we will not incur material costs or 
liabilities in the future. These regulations and risks are described in more detail under “Risk Factors” in this Annual Report.

Item 1A. Risk Factors 

In your evaluation of our Company and business, you should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described 
below, together with information included elsewhere within this Annual Report and other documents we file with the SEC. 
The risks and uncertainties described below are those that we have identified as material, but are not the only risks and 
uncertainties facing us. Our business is also subject to general risks and uncertainties that affect many other companies, 
such as our ability to collect receivables, overall U.S. and global economic and industry conditions, geopolitical events, 
changes in laws or accounting rules, fluctuations in interest and exchange rates, terrorism, international conflicts, major 
health concerns, climate change or other disruptions of expected economic and business conditions. Additional risks and 
uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently believe are immaterial also may materially harm our business, 
financial condition or operating results and result in a decline in the price of our stock. Should any of the following risks 
and uncertainties develop into actual events, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially 
and adversely affected, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you could lose all or part of your 
investment. 

Risks Relating to Our Business 

We face the following risks in connection with the general conditions and trends of the industry in which we operate: 

We depend on U.S. government agencies as our primary customer and, if our reputation or relationships with 
these agencies were harmed, our future revenues, cash flow and financial results would be adversely affected. 

We generated over 90% of our total revenues during each of the last three fiscal years from contracts with the U.S. 
government, either as a prime contractor or a subcontractor to other contractors engaged in work for the U.S. 
government. We generated over 70% of our total revenues during each of the last three fiscal years from the DoD, 
including 28% and 20% of our total revenues in fiscal 2015 from the U.S. Army and U.S. Navy, respectively (although 
each of these customers has a number of subordinate agencies which have separate budgets and procurement 
functions). We expect to continue to derive most of our revenues from work performed under U.S. government contracts. 
Our reputation and relationship with the U.S. government, and in particular with the agencies of the DoD, are key factors 
in maintaining and growing these revenues. Negative press reports or publicity, which could pertain to employee or 
subcontractor misconduct, conflicts of interest, poor contract performance, deficiencies in services, reports, or other 
deliverables, information security breaches or other aspects of our business, regardless of accuracy, could harm our 
reputation, particularly with these agencies. In addition, negative publicity regarding our work for state and local 
government and commercial customers may harm our reputation with these customers as well as with our federal 
government customers. If our reputation is negatively affected, or if we are suspended or debarred from contracting with 
government agencies for any reason, the amount of business with government and other customers would decrease and 
our future revenues, cash flow, and financial results would be adversely affected. 

A decline in the U.S. government defense budget, changes in spending or budgetary priorities, prolonged U.S. 
government shutdown or delays in contract awards may significantly and adversely affect our future revenues, 
cash flow and financial results. 

Since we generate most of our revenues from contracts with U.S. government agencies, our operating results could be 
adversely affected by spending caps or changes in the budgetary priorities of the U.S. government, as well as by delays in 
program starts or the award of contracts or task orders under contracts. Current U.S. government spending levels for 
defense-related and other programs may not be sustained, and future spending and program authorizations may not 
increase or may decrease or shift to programs in areas in which we do not provide services or are less likely to be 
awarded contracts. Such changes in spending authorizations and budgetary priorities may occur as a result of shifts in 
spending priorities from defense-related and other programs as a result of competing demands for federal funds and the 
number and intensity of military conflicts or other factors. 

The Budget Control Act of 2011 (Budget Control Act) enacted 10-year discretionary spending caps which are expected to 
generate over $1 trillion in savings for the U.S. government, approximately half of which comes from DoD baseline 
spending reductions. The caps set in motion automatic across-the-board spending cuts (referred to as sequestration) for 
government fiscal year (GFY) 2013 which resulted in a $37 billion reduction to defense budget authority. The impacts of 
sequestration from cuts to budget authority in GFY 2013 will continue to be felt in GFY 2015 as those reductions in budget 
authority are translated into further reductions in budget outlays. 

-7- 

 
SCIENCE APPLICATIONS INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION 

In December 2013, Congress and the Administration enacted the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2013 (Bipartisan Budget Act), 
which increased the limits on discretionary spending for GFY 2014 and GFY 2015 imposed by the Budget Control Act. 
However, the Bipartisan Budget Act did not address the lower spending limits, including the across-the-board spending 
reduction methodology, for GFYs 2016 through 2021 as provided for in the Budget Control Act. Unless Congress and the 
Administration can reach a new agreement this year, the full effect of sequestration will once again take effect in GFY 
2016. The implementation of further automatic spending cuts may reduce, delay or cancel funding for certain of our 
contracts and programs and could adversely impact our operations and financial results. 

On February 2, 2015, President Obama released his GFY 2016 budget proposal which sets defense discretionary 
spending at $1.087 trillion, with $561 billon for defense and $526 billion for non-defense. This is about $71 billion, or 7%, 
above the budgetary caps imposed by the Budget Control Act. The President’s proposal would eliminate the sequester for 
GFY 2016 and future years through a series of ten year offsets that include trimming certain mandatory and discretionary 
programs by $600 billion, raising nearly $640 billion in new tax revenue, and implementing an immigration overhaul plan 
that estimates say would save approximately $160 billion. It is unclear, however, whether Congress will enact some or 
any of the President’s proposed budget increases and there remains uncertainty regarding how sequester cuts in GFY 
2016 and beyond will be applied to the DoD and other agencies. The President’s budget proposal also includes $58 billion 
in Overseas Contingency Operations (OCO) funding. OCO dollars are intended to support critical national defense efforts 
and are not subject to sequestration. The GFY 2016 OCO total represents a decrease of about 21% from GFY 2015. If 
adopted, this total would further restrict available discretionary defense funding. 

In years when the U.S. government does not complete its budget process before the end of its fiscal year, government 
operations typically are funded through one or more continuing resolutions that authorize agencies of the U.S. 
government to continue to operate, but do not authorize new spending initiatives. When the U.S. government operates 
under a continuing resolution, delays can occur in contract awards due to lack of funding. This was recently the case for 
DHS, which was funded through a series of short-term continuing resolutions into March 2015. It was only then that 
Congress and the Administration reached an agreement on funding for the remainder of the GFY. 

Should a continuing resolution be used to fund all or some U.S. government operations after GFY 2015 it may cause 
additional government contract awards to be delayed, canceled, or funded at lower levels and could adversely impact our 
operations, cash flow and financial results. 

The U.S. government also conducts periodic reviews of U.S. defense strategies and priorities, which may shift DoD 
budgetary priorities, reduce overall U.S. government spending or delay contract or task order awards for defense-related 
programs, including programs from which we expect to derive a significant portion of our future revenues. In addition, 
changes to the DoD acquisition system and contracting models could affect whether and how we pursue certain 
opportunities and the terms under which we are able to do so. A significant decline in overall U.S. government spending, 
including in areas of national security, a significant shift in its spending priorities, the substantial reduction or elimination of 
particular defense-related programs or significant delays in contract or task order awards for large programs could 
adversely affect our future revenues and limit our growth prospects. 

Our reputation may be harmed or other adverse consequences may be incurred by us relating to former Parent’s 
CityTime contract or its administrative agreement, which could have a material adverse effect on our business 
and future prospects. 

In connection with the resolution of certain investigations related to former Parent’s CityTime contract, former Parent 
entered into a three-year deferred prosecution agreement with the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New 
York. The three-year term under former Parent’s deferred prosecution agreement expired on March 14, 2015.  Former 
Parent also entered into a five-year administrative agreement with the Army on behalf of the U.S. government in order to 
confirm former Parent’s continuing eligibility to enter into and perform contracts with the U.S. government. We notified the 
U.S. Army that we will comply with the obligations set forth in the administrative agreement following the separation. 
These obligations include retaining an independent monitor and maintaining a similar contractor responsibility program, 
which will require significant resources and management involvement. In addition, given that we have retained the name 
Science Applications International Corporation, which was the name of the company that was the prime contractor under 
the CityTime contract, we may suffer reputational harm as a result of being associated with the contract as well as with 
former Parent’s deferred prosecution agreement and administrative agreement and our compliance with obligations under 
the administrative agreement. This could make it more difficult to compete effectively and may adversely affect our future 
revenues and growth prospects.

SCIENCE APPLICATIONS INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION 

Our failure to comply with a variety of complex procurement rules and regulations could result in our being liable 
for penalties, including termination of our U.S. government contracts, disqualification from bidding on future U.S. 
government contracts and suspension or debarment from U.S. government contracting. 

We must comply with laws and regulations relating to the formation, administration and performance of U.S. government 
contracts, which affect how we do business with our customers and may impose added costs on our business. Some 
significant statutes and regulations that affect us include: 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

the FAR and agency supplements, which regulate the formation, administration and performance of U.S. 
government contracts; 

the Truth in Negotiations Act, which requires certification and disclosure of cost or pricing data in connection with 
certain contract awards; 

the Procurement Integrity Act, which restricts access to competitor bid and proposal information and government 
source selection information and limits our ability to provide compensation to certain former government officials; 

the Civil False Claims Act, which provides for substantial damages and civil penalties for submission of a false 
claim to the U.S. government for payment or approval; and 

the U.S. government Cost Accounting Standards (CAS), which impose requirements that govern our right to 
reimbursement under certain cost-based U.S. government contracts. 

The FAR and many of our U.S. government contracts contain organizational conflict of interest (OCI) clauses that may 
limit our ability to compete for or perform certain other contracts or other types of services for particular customers. OCI 
arises when we engage in activities that may make us unable to render impartial assistance or advice to the U.S. 
government, impair our objectivity in performing contract work or provide us with an unfair competitive advantage. Existing 
OCI, and any OCI that may develop, could preclude our competition for or performance on a significant project or 
contract, which could limit our opportunities. 

The U.S. government may adopt new contract rules and regulations or revise its procurement practices in a 
manner adverse to us at any time. 

Our industry has experienced, and we expect it will continue to experience, significant changes to business practices as a 
result of an increased focus on affordability, efficiencies and recovery of costs, among other items. U.S. government 
agencies may face restrictions or pressure regarding the type and amount of services that they may obtain from private 
contractors. Legislation, regulations and initiatives dealing with procurement reform, mitigation of potential conflicts of 
interest, deterrence of fraud, and environmental responsibility or sustainability, as well as any resulting shifts in the buying 
practices of U.S. government agencies, such as increased usage of fixed price contracts, multiple award contracts and 
small business set-aside contracts, could have adverse effects on government contractors, including us. Any of these 
changes could impair our ability to obtain new contracts or renew our existing contracts when those contracts are 
recompeted. Any new contracting requirements or procurement methods could be costly or administratively difficult for us 
to implement and could adversely affect our future revenues, profitability and prospects. 

Our business is subject to reviews, audits and cost adjustments by the U.S. government, which, if resolved 
unfavorably to us, could adversely affect our profitability, cash position or growth prospects. 

U.S. government agencies, including the Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA), Defense Contract Management Agency 
(DCMA) and others, routinely audit and review a contractor’s performance on government contracts, indirect cost rates 
and pricing practices and compliance with applicable contracting and procurement laws, regulations and standards. They 
also review the adequacy of the contractor’s compliance with government standards for its business systems, including a 
contractor’s accounting system, earned value management system, estimating system, materials management system, 
property management system and purchasing system. A finding of significant control deficiencies in a contractor’s 
business systems or a finding of noncompliance with CAS can result in decremented billing rates to U.S. government 
customers until the control deficiencies are corrected and their remediation is accepted by the DCMA. Both contractors 
and the U.S. government agencies conducting these audits and reviews have come under increased scrutiny. As a result, 
audits and reviews have become more rigorous and the standards to which the Company is held are being more strictly 
interpreted, increasing the likelihood of an audit or review resulting in an adverse outcome. 

-9- 

 
SCIENCE APPLICATIONS INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION 

Government audits and reviews may conclude that our practices are not consistent with applicable laws and regulations 
and result in adjustments to contract costs and mandatory customer refunds. Such adjustments can be applied 
retroactively, which could result in significant customer refunds. Our receipt of adverse audit findings or the failure to 
obtain an “approved” determination of our various accounting and management internal control systems from the 
responsible U.S. government agency could significantly and adversely affect our business, including our ability to bid on 
new contracts and our competitive position in the bidding process. A determination of noncompliance with applicable 
contracting and procurement laws, regulations and standards could also result in the U.S. government imposing penalties 
and sanctions against us, including withholding of payments, suspension of payments and increased government scrutiny 
that could delay or adversely affect our ability to invoice and receive timely payment on contracts, perform contracts or 
compete for contracts with the U.S. government. 

Former Parent’s indirect cost audits by the DCAA have not been completed for fiscal 2008 and subsequent fiscal years. 
Pursuant to a distribution agreement between former Parent and us, the impact of adjustments to approved indirect costs 
as a result of ongoing audits or reviews from fiscal 2006 through the Distribution Date will be shared between former 
Parent and us. For a more detailed discussion of the terms of the distribution agreement governing financial impacts as a 
result of audits and reviews of prior year indirect costs see Note 13 of the notes to the consolidated and combined 
financial statements contained within this Annual Report. 

Although former Parent has recorded contract revenues after fiscal 2005 to the Distribution Date and we have recorded 
contract revenues after the Distribution Date based upon estimates of costs that we believe will be approved upon final 
audit or review, we do not know the outcome of any ongoing or future audits or reviews and adjustments and, if future 
adjustments exceed our estimates, our profitability would be adversely affected. 

Our business is subject to governmental review and investigation which could adversely affect our profitability, 
cash position and growth prospects. 

We are routinely subject to governmental investigations relating to our contracts and operations. If a review or 
investigation identifies improper or illegal activities, we may be subject to civil or criminal penalties or administrative 
sanctions, including the termination of contracts, forfeiture of profits, the triggering of price reduction clauses, suspension 
of payments, fines and suspension or debarment from doing business with governmental agencies. We may suffer harm 
to our reputation if allegations of impropriety are made against us, which would impair our ability to win new contract 
awards or receive contract renewals. Penalties and sanctions are not uncommon in our industry. If we incur a material 
penalty or administrative sanction or otherwise suffer harm to our reputation, our profitability, cash position and future 
prospects could be adversely affected. 

Misconduct of employees, subcontractors, agents and business partners could cause us to lose existing 
contracts or customers and adversely affect our ability to obtain new contracts and customers which could have 
a significant adverse impact on our business and reputation. 

Misconduct of employees, subcontractors, agents and business partners could include fraud or other improper activities 
such as falsifying time or other records and violations of laws, including the Anti-Kickback Act. Other examples could 
include the failure to comply with our policies and procedures or with federal, state or local government procurement 
regulations, regulations regarding the use and safeguarding of classified or other protected information, legislation 
regarding the pricing of labor and other costs in government contracts, laws and regulations relating to environmental, 
health or safety matters, bribery of foreign government officials, import-export control, lobbying or similar activities and any 
other applicable laws or regulations. Any data loss or information security lapses resulting in the compromise of personal 
information or the improper use or disclosure of sensitive or classified information could result in claims, remediation 
costs, regulatory sanctions against us, loss of current and future contracts and serious harm to our reputation. Although 
we have implemented policies, procedures and controls to prevent and detect these activities, these precautions may not 
prevent all misconduct and, as a result, we could face unknown risks or losses. Our failure to comply with applicable laws 
or regulations or misconduct by any of our employees, subcontractors, agents or business partners could damage our 
reputation and subject us to fines and penalties, restitution or other damages, loss of security clearance, loss of current 
and future customer contracts and suspension or debarment from contracting with federal, state or local government 
agencies, any of which would adversely affect our business and our future results.

SCIENCE APPLICATIONS INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION 

Due to the competitive process to obtain contracts and an increase in bid protests, we may be unable to achieve 
or sustain revenue growth and profitability. 

We expect that a majority of the business that we seek in the foreseeable future will be awarded through a competitive 
bidding process. The U.S. government has increasingly relied on contracts that are subject to a competitive bidding 
process, including IDIQ, GSA Schedule and other multi-award contracts, which has resulted in greater competition and 
increased pricing pressure. For example, during fiscal 2013, we were not awarded the successor contract to the DISN 
Global Solutions (DGS) program with the Defense Information System Agency. In fiscal 2013, we recognized 
approximately $425 million in revenue on this program. Revenues from the DGS program were approximately $6 million 
during fiscal 2015 and $120 million during fiscal 2014 as the activity transitioned to the successor contractor. 

The competitive bidding process involves substantial costs and a number of risks, including significant cost and 
managerial time to prepare bids and proposals for contracts that may not be awarded to us, or that may be awarded but 
for which we do not receive meaningful task orders. For contracts awarded to us, we also face the risk of inaccurately 
estimating the resources and costs that will be required to fulfill any contract we win. Following contract award, we may 
encounter significant expense, delay, contract modifications or even contract loss as a result of our competitors protesting 
the award of contracts to us in competitive bidding. Any resulting loss or delay of startup and funding of work under 
protested contract awards may adversely affect our revenues and/or profitability. In addition, multi-award contracts require 
that we make sustained post-award efforts to obtain task orders under the contract. As a result, we may not be able to 
obtain these task orders or recognize revenues under these multi-award contracts. Our failure to compete effectively in 
this procurement environment would adversely affect our revenues and profitability. 

The U.S. government may terminate, cancel, modify or curtail our contracts at any time prior to their completion 
and, if we do not replace them, we may be unable to achieve or sustain revenue growth and may suffer a decline 
in revenues and profitability. 

Many of the U.S. government programs in which we participate as a contractor or subcontractor may extend for several 
years and include one or more base years and one or more option years. These programs are normally funded on an 
annual basis. Under our contracts, the U.S. government generally has the right not to exercise options to extend or 
expand our contracts and may otherwise terminate, cancel, modify or curtail our contracts at its convenience. Any 
decision by the U.S. government not to exercise contract options or to terminate, cancel, modify or curtail our major 
programs or contracts would adversely affect our revenues, revenue growth and profitability.  

We have experienced and continue to experience periodic performance issues under certain of our contracts. If a 
government customer terminates a contract for default, we may be exposed to liability, including for excess costs incurred 
by the customer in procuring undelivered services and solutions from another source. Depending on the nature and value 
of the contract, a performance issue or termination for default could cause our actual results to differ from those 
anticipated and could harm our reputation. 

We face aggressive competition that can impact our ability to obtain contracts and therefore affect our future 
revenues and growth prospects. 

Our business is highly competitive and we compete with larger companies that have greater name recognition, financial 
resources and larger technical staffs. We also compete with smaller, more specialized companies that are able to 
concentrate their resources on particular areas. Additionally, we may compete with the U.S. government’s own 
capabilities. 

The markets in which we operate are characterized by rapidly changing technology and the needs of our customers 
change and evolve regularly. Accordingly, our success depends on our ability to develop services and solutions that 
address these changing needs and to provide people and technology needed to deliver these services and solutions. To 
remain competitive, we must consistently provide superior service, technology and performance on a cost-effective basis 
to our customers. Our competitors may be able to provide our customers with different or greater capabilities or 
technologies or better contract terms than we can provide, including technical qualifications, past contract experience, 
geographic presence, price and the availability of qualified professional personnel. In addition, our competitors may 
consolidate or establish teaming or other relationships among themselves or with third parties to increase their ability to 
address customers’ needs. Accordingly, we anticipate that larger or new competitors or alliances among competitors may 
emerge which may adversely affect our ability to compete for new contracts.

A failure to attract, train, retain and utilize skilled employees, including our management team, would adversely 
affect our ability to execute our strategy and may disrupt our operations. 

Our business relies heavily upon the expertise and services of our employees. Our continued success depends on our 
ability to recruit and retain highly trained and skilled engineering, technical and professional personnel. Competition for 
skilled personnel is intense and competitors aggressively recruit key employees. In addition, many U.S. government 
programs require contractors to have security clearances. Depending on the level of required clearance, security 
clearances can be difficult and time-consuming to obtain and personnel with security clearances are in great demand. 
Particularly in highly specialized areas, it has become more difficult to retain employees and meet all of our needs for 
employees in a timely manner, which may affect our growth in the current and future fiscal years. Although we intend to 
continue to devote significant resources to recruit, train and retain qualified employees, we may not be able to attract, 
effectively train and retain these employees. Any failure to do so could impair our ability to perform our contractual 
obligations efficiently and timely meet our customers’ needs and win new business, which could adversely affect our 
future results. 

The cost of providing our services, including the degree to which our employees are utilized, affects our profitability. The 
degree to which we are able to utilize our employees in a timely manner or at all is affected by a number of factors 
including our ability to transition employees from completed projects to new assignments, forecast demand for our 
services in order to maintain and deploy headcount that is aligned with demand, and our need to devote resources to 
training, business development, and other non-contract related activities. If our employees are under-utilized, our 
profitability could suffer. Additionally, if our employees are over-utilized, it could have an adverse effect on employee 
engagement and retention, which could in turn have an adverse impact on our business. 

In addition to attracting, retaining and effectively utilizing qualified engineering, technical and professional personnel, we 
believe that our success will also depend on the continued employment of a highly qualified and experienced senior 
management team and its ability to retain existing business and generate new business. Our senior management team is 
important to our business because personal reputations and individual business relationships are a critical element of 
retaining and obtaining customer contracts in our industry. Moreover, there is little redundancy or overlap of 
responsibilities in our corporate functions and loss of key personnel in critical functions could lead to lack of business 
continuity or disruptions in our operations, financial reporting or control processes until we are able to hire and train 
replacement personnel. Our inability to retain appropriately qualified and experienced senior executives could cause us to 
lose customers or new business opportunities. 

We recently entered into an agreement to make a significant acquisition and may make other acquisitions, 
investments, joint ventures and divestitures in the future that involve numerous risks, which if realized, may 
adversely affect our business and our future results. 

We recently entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated March 1, 2015, under which we agreed to acquire 
Scitor Holdings, Inc. (Scitor) and its subsidiaries under certain conditions for a total purchase price of $790 million, subject 
to adjustment. Although completion of the Scitor acquisition is subject to customary closing conditions, we expect to 
complete the acquisition of Scitor in May 2015. Our ability to complete the acquisition of Scitor is dependent upon certain 
financial institutions performing financing commitments entered into with us. We expect to incur approximately $670 
million of additional debt secured by a lien on substantially all of our assets to fund a portion of the purchase price to 
acquire Scitor (New Credit Facility). In addition, we have amended the terms of our existing unsecured revolving and term 
loans (Existing Credit Facility) to, among other things, permit the New Credit Facility. Upon completion of the Scitor 
acquisition and closing of the New Credit Facility, it is expected that the Existing Credit Facility will also become secured 
by a lien on all of our assets. The New Credit Facility and the Existing Credit Facility are referred to below as the New and 
Existing Credit Facilities. In addition, under the terms of the New and Existing Credit Facilities, we will be required to 
maintain a certain ratio of debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (referred to as the 
Leverage Ratio). Further, under the terms of the New and Existing Credit Facilities, we will be limited in our ability to pay 
dividends beyond our current regular dividend and repurchase shares of our stock, be required to make certain mandatory 
prepayments based on the cash flow of our business, and be subject to other operational limitations. 

-12- 

 
SCIENCE APPLICATIONS INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION 

The debt arrangements we expect to enter into with respect to our acquisition of Scitor will impose limitations on our ability 
to make other acquisitions. Subject to those limitations, in addition to Scitor, we may selectively pursue additional strategic 
acquisitions, investments and joint ventures. The Scitor acquisition and other acquisitions, investments and joint ventures 
pose many risks that could adversely affect our reputation, operations or financial results, including: 

• 

• 

acquisitions normally require a significant investment of time and resources, which may disrupt our historic 
business and distract our management from other important responsibilities; 

even if successful, the Scitor acquisition and any future acquisition could reduce our earnings per share or net 
income for a number of reasons, including the amortization of intangible assets, impairment charges, the inability to 
generate or sustain profits of the acquired business, adverse changes in unhedged interest rates on debt incurred 
to complete the acquisition or a failure to realize assumed future tax benefits estimated in connection with the 
acquisition; 

•  we may not retain key employees (including those with needed security clearances), customers and business 

partners of Scitor following our acquisition or those of an acquired business in the future; 

•  we may fail to successfully integrate Scitor or other future acquired businesses, such as failing to successfully 

implement IT and other control systems relating to the operations of Scitor or any other future acquired business; 

•  we may not generate sufficient earnings to meet the required Leverage Ratio under the New and Existing Credit 

Facilities, which would give lenders the right to, among other things, foreclose on our assets; 

• 

the limitations on our ability to issue dividends beyond our current regular dividend and to repurchase our stock 
under the New and Existing Credit Facilities may restrict our capital deployment decisions in the future, which may 
have an adverse impact on our stock price;  

•  we may not be able to accurately estimate the financial effect of the Scitor acquisition or any future acquisitions and 
investments on our business and we may not realize anticipated revenue opportunities, cost savings, or other 
synergies or benefits, or acquisitions may not result in improved operating performance; 

•  we may assume known as well as unknown material liabilities that were not identified as part of our due diligence 
or for which we are unable to receive a purchase price adjustment or reimbursement through indemnification; 

•  we may assume legal or regulatory risks, particularly with respect to businesses that have immature business 

processes and compliance programs or that operate in markets in which we have previously had limited direct prior 
experience; 

•  we may be adversely impacted by developments in the U.S. government intelligence community budgets and other 

areas to which we had limited exposure prior to the acquisition; 

•  we may encounter performance problems with acquired technologies, capabilities and products, particularly with 

respect to those that are still in development when acquired; 

• 

• 

acquired entities or joint ventures may not operate profitably, which could adversely affect our operating income or 
operating margins and we may be unable to recover investments in any such acquisitions; 

acquisitions, investments and joint ventures may require us to spend a significant amount of cash and incur a 
substantial amount of debt, with increased interest expense and amortization demands and mandatory prepayment 
requirements, or to issue capital stock, resulting in dilution of ownership; and 

•  we may not be able to effectively influence the operations of our joint ventures or we may be exposed to certain 

liabilities if our joint venture partners do not fulfill their obligations or fail to comply with legal requirements, laws and 
regulations. 

If the Scitor acquisition or our future acquisitions, investments or joint ventures fail, perform poorly or their value is 
otherwise impaired for any reason, including contractions in credit markets and global economic conditions, our business 
and financial results could be adversely affected. 

-13- 

 
SCIENCE APPLICATIONS INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION 

In addition, we may periodically divest businesses, including businesses that are no longer a part of our ongoing strategic 
plan. These divestitures similarly require significant investment of time and resources and may disrupt our business, 
distract management from other responsibilities and may result in losses on disposal or continued financial involvement in 
the divested business, including through indemnification, guarantee or other financial arrangements, for a period of time 
following the transaction, which would adversely affect our financial results. 

We may not realize as revenues the entire amounts reflected in our backlog, which could adversely affect our 
expected future revenues and growth prospects. 

As of January 30, 2015, our total backlog was $6.2 billion, which included $1.7 billion in funded backlog. Due to the U.S. 
government’s ability to not exercise contract options or to terminate, modify or curtail our programs or contracts and the 
rights of our non-U.S. government customers to cancel contracts and purchase orders in certain circumstances, we may 
realize less than expected or, in some cases, never realize revenues from some of the contracts that are included in our 
backlog. Our unfunded backlog, in particular, contains management’s estimate of amounts expected to be realized on 
unfunded contract work that may never be realized as revenues. If we fail to realize as revenues amounts included in our 
backlog, our expected future revenues, growth prospects and profitability could be adversely affected. 

Our earnings and profitability may vary based on the mix of our contracts and may be adversely affected by our 
failure to accurately estimate and manage costs, time and resources. 

We generate revenues under various types of contracts, which include cost-reimbursement, T&M and FFP contracts. Our 
earnings and profitability may vary materially depending on changes in the proportionate amount of revenues derived from 
each type of contract, the nature of services or solutions provided, as well as the achievement of performance objectives 
and the stage of performance at which the right to receive fees, particularly under incentive and award fee contracts, is 
finally determined. Cost-reimbursement and T&M contracts generally have lower profitability than FFP contracts. 
Our profitability is adversely affected when we incur costs that we cannot bill to our customers. To varying degrees, each 
of our contract types involves some risk that we could underestimate the costs and resources necessary to fulfill the 
contract. While FFP contracts allow us to benefit from cost savings, these contracts also increase our exposure to the risk 
of cost overruns. Revenues derived from FFP contracts represented approximately 34% of our total revenues for fiscal 
2015. When making proposals on these types of contracts, we rely heavily on our estimates of costs and timing for 
completing the associated projects, as well as assumptions regarding technical issues. In each case, our failure to 
accurately estimate costs or the resources and technology needed to perform our contracts or to effectively manage and 
control our costs during the performance of our work could result, and in some instances has resulted, in reduced profits 
or in losses. More generally, any increased or unexpected costs or unanticipated delays in connection with the 
performance of our contracts, including costs and delays caused by contractual disputes or other factors outside of our 
control, such as performance failures of our subcontractors, natural disasters or other force majeure events, could make 
our contracts less profitable than expected or unprofitable. 

We use estimates in recognizing revenues and if we make changes to estimates used in recognizing revenues, 
our profitability may be adversely affected. 

A significant portion of revenues from our contracts are recognized using the percentage-of-completion method. This 
method requires estimates of total costs at completion, fees earned on the contract, or both. This estimation process, 
particularly due to the technical nature of the services being performed and the long-term nature of certain contracts, is 
complex and involves significant judgment. Adjustments to original estimates are often required as work progresses, 
experience is gained and additional information becomes known, even though the scope of the work required under the 
contract may not change. Any adjustment as a result of a change in estimate is recognized immediately. Changes in the 
underlying assumptions, circumstances or estimates could result in adjustments that may adversely affect future financial 
results. 

Our business and financial results could be negatively affected by cyber or other security threats. 

As a U.S. government contractor and a provider of IT services operating in multiple regulated industries and geographies, 
we handle sensitive information, including personally identifiable information, protected health information, personnel 
information, classified information, financial information and other confidential information concerning our business and 
employees and those of our customers (collectively referred to below as sensitive information). We are continuously 
exposed to cyber and other security threats, including computer viruses, attacks by hackers or physical break-ins. Any 
electronic or physical break-in or other security breach or compromise may jeopardize security of sensitive or other 
information stored or transmitted through our IT systems and networks. This could lead to disruptions in mission critical 

-14- 

 
SCIENCE APPLICATIONS INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION 

systems, unauthorized release of confidential or otherwise protected information and corruption of data. Although we have 
implemented policies, procedures and controls to protect against, detect and mitigate these threats, attempts by others to 
gain unauthorized access to our IT systems are becoming more sophisticated. These attempts include covertly 
introducing malware to our computers and networks and impersonating authorized users, among others, and may be 
perpetrated by well-funded organized crime or state sponsored efforts. We seek to detect and investigate all security 
incidents and to prevent their occurrence or recurrence. We continue to improve our threat protection, detection and 
mitigation policies, procedures and controls. In addition, we work with other companies in the industry and government 
participants to promote increased awareness and enhanced protections against cybersecurity threats. However, because 
of the evolving nature of these security threats, there can be no assurance that our policies, procedures and controls have 
or will detect or prevent any of these threats and we cannot predict the full impact of any such incident. We may 
experience similar security threats to the IT systems that we develop, install or maintain under customer contracts, 
including customer contracts under which we may have access to or management responsibility for customer databases 
or networks that contain sensitive information relating to our customers, their employees or related third parties. Although 
we work cooperatively with our customers and other business partners to seek to minimize the impacts of cyber and other 
security threats, we must rely on the safeguards put in place by those entities. In the event of unauthorized access to 
sensitive information that we are responsible for safeguarding, our customers and their employees or related third parties, 
if applicable, may seek to hold us liable for any costs or other damages associated with the unauthorized access as a 
breach of our contractual and other obligations. In addition, various federal or state agencies may bring legal action 
against us for violation of or noncompliance with regulatory requirements relating to any unauthorized access to sensitive 
information within our control. Any remediation costs, damages or other liabilities related to unauthorized access of 
sensitive information of ours or our customers caused by cyber or other security threats may not be fully insured or 
indemnified by other means. Occurrence of any unauthorized access caused by these security threats could adversely 
affect our reputation, ability to work on sensitive U.S. government contracts, business operations and financial results. 

Internal system or service failures could disrupt our business and impair our ability to effectively provide our 
services and solutions to our customers, which could damage our reputation and adversely affect our revenues 
and profitability. 

Any internal disruption or failure in our IT network, software or hardware systems or communications, utilities or other 
business equipment or services could have a material adverse effect on our ability to provide the services required to be 
performed by us under customer contracts or bill our customers for work performed on our contracts, collect the amounts 
that have been billed and produce accurate financial statements in a timely manner. We are also vulnerable to failures in 
these systems, equipment and other business services caused by third-party service providers, cybersecurity threats, 
natural disasters, power shortages, terrorist attacks or other events, which could cause loss of data and interruptions or 
delays in our business, cause us to incur remediation costs, subject us to claims and damage our reputation. In addition, 
the failure or disruption of our communications or utilities could cause us to interrupt or suspend our operations or 
otherwise adversely affect our business. Our property and business interruption insurance may be inadequate to 
compensate us for all losses that may occur as a result of any system or operational failure or disruption. As a result, any 
internal or external disruption or failure in our IT network, software or hardware systems or communications, utilities or 
other business equipment or services could damage our reputation and adversely affect our revenues and profitability. 

Customer systems failures could damage our reputation and adversely affect our revenues and profitability. 

Many of the systems and networks that we develop, install and maintain for our customers involve managing and 
protecting personal information and information relating to national security and other sensitive government functions. 
While we have programs designed to comply with relevant privacy and security laws and restrictions, if a system or 
network that we develop, install or maintain were to fail or experience a security breach or service interruption, whether 
caused by us, third-party service providers, cybersecurity threats or other events, we may experience loss of revenue, 
remediation costs or face claims for damages or contract termination. Any such event could cause serious harm to our 
reputation and prevent us from having access to or being eligible for further work on such systems and networks. Our 
errors and omissions liability insurance may be inadequate to compensate us for all of the damages that we may incur 
and, as a result, our future results could be adversely affected. 

Legal disputes could require us to pay potentially large damage awards and could be costly to defend, which 
would adversely affect our cash balances and profitability, and could damage our reputation. 

We are subject to a number of lawsuits and claims described under “Legal Proceedings” in Part I of this Annual Report. 
We are also subject to, and may become a party to, a variety of other litigation or claims and suits that arise from time to 
time in the ordinary course of our business. The Department of Justice and other enforcement agencies of the U.S. 

-15- 

 
SCIENCE APPLICATIONS INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION 

government may bring claims or lawsuits against us in connection with our performance of government contracts or our 
billing or record-keeping relating to those contracts. The Department of Justice has considerably more resources at its 
disposal than we do, and can bring suspension and debarment proceedings against us that would prevent us from 
working for some or all U.S. government customers. In addition, certain statutes under which the Department of Justice 
may bring claims, like the False Claims Act, provide for treble damages and penalties on a per invoice basis against 
government contractors. These circumstances generally give the Department of Justice significantly more leverage in any 
legal dispute with us than if we were defending ourselves against claims brought by a commercial enterprise. Adverse 
judgments or settlements in some or all of these legal disputes may result in significant monetary damages or injunctive 
relief against us. Any claims or litigation could be costly to defend, and even if we are successful or if fully indemnified or 
insured, could damage our reputation and make it more difficult to compete effectively or obtain adequate insurance in the 
future. Litigation and other claims, including those described under “Legal Proceedings” in Part I of this Annual Report, are 
subject to inherent uncertainties and management’s view of these matters may change in the future. 

Our business and operations expose us to numerous legal and regulatory requirements and any violation of 
these requirements could harm our business. 

We are subject to numerous federal, state and foreign legal requirements on matters as diverse as data privacy and 
protection, employment and labor relations, immigration, taxation, anti-corruption, import/export controls, trade 
restrictions, internal and disclosure control obligations, securities regulation and anti-competition. Compliance with diverse 
and changing legal requirements is costly, time-consuming and requires significant resources. Violations of one or more of 
these requirements in the conduct of our business could result in significant fines and other damages, criminal sanctions 
against us or our officers, prohibitions on doing business and damage to our reputation. Violations of these regulations or 
contractual obligations related to regulatory compliance in connection with the performance of customer contracts could 
also result in liability for significant monetary damages, fines and/or criminal prosecution, unfavorable publicity and other 
reputational damage, restrictions on our ability to compete for certain work and allegations by our customers that we have 
not performed our contractual obligations. 

Goodwill represents a significant amount of our total assets and any impairment of these assets would 
negatively impact our results of operations. 

Goodwill is tested for impairment annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying 
value may not be recoverable. Examples of events or changes in circumstances indicating that the carrying value of 
goodwill may not be recoverable could include a significant adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate, an 
adverse action or assessment by a regulator, unanticipated competition, loss of key personnel or a more likely than not 
expectation that a reporting unit or a significant portion of a reporting unit will be sold or otherwise disposed of. In addition, 
we recently entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated March 1, 2015, under which we agreed to acquire Scitor 
Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries under certain conditions for a total purchase price of $790 million, subject to 
adjustment. We expect goodwill and the value of our intangible assets to increase significantly following completion of this 
acquisition. Any future impairment of goodwill or other intangible assets would have a negative impact on our profitability 
and financial results. 

We depend on our teaming arrangements and relationships with other contractors and subcontractors. If we are 
not able to maintain these relationships, or if these parties fail to satisfy their obligations to us or the customer, 
our revenues, profitability and growth prospects could be adversely affected. 

We rely on our teaming relationships with other prime contractors and subcontractors in order to submit bids for large 
procurements or other opportunities where we believe the combination of services, products and solutions provided by us 
and the other companies will help us to win and perform the contract. We expect to continue our use of teaming 
relationships. Our future revenues and growth prospects could be adversely affected if other contractors eliminate or 
reduce their contract relationships with us, or if the U.S. government terminates or reduces these other contractors’ 
programs, does not award them new contracts or refuses to pay under a contract. Companies that do not have access to 
U.S. government contracts may perform services as our subcontractor and that exposure could enhance such companies’ 
prospect of securing a future position as a prime U.S. government contractor which could increase competition for future 
contracts and impair our ability to win these contracts. 

We may have disputes with our subcontractors arising from, among other things, the quality and timeliness of work 
performed by the subcontractor, customer concerns about the subcontractor, our failure to extend existing task orders or 
issue new task orders under a subcontract, our hiring of a subcontractor’s personnel or the subcontractor’s failure to 
comply with applicable law. Current uncertain economic conditions heighten the risk of financial stress of our 

-16- 

 
SCIENCE APPLICATIONS INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION 

subcontractors, which could adversely impact their ability to meet their contractual requirements to us. If any of our 
subcontractors fail to timely meet their contractual obligations or have regulatory compliance or other problems, our ability 
to fulfill our obligations as a prime contractor or higher tier subcontractor may be jeopardized. Significant losses could 
arise in future periods and subcontractor performance deficiencies could result in our termination for default. A termination 
for default could eliminate a revenue source, expose us to liability and have an adverse effect on our ability to compete for 
future contracts and task orders, especially if the customer is an agency of the U.S. government. 

Our spin-off transaction subjects us to risks relating to the protest of contracts and contract vehicles bid for us 
by our former Parent before completion of the spin-off transaction and by us before novation of those contracts 
and contract vehicles to us from former Parent. 

In September 2013, we completed a spin-off transaction from former Parent and became an independent, publicly traded 
company. In July 2014, the government signed a novation agreement authorizing the novation from former Parent to us of 
customer contracts and contract vehicles that relate primarily to our business. We are in the process of completing the 
administrative tasks relating to completion of the novation process of those contracts and contract vehicles. While we do 
not expect the completion of the novation process to delay payments to us in any material respect on contracts novated to 
us by our former Parent, we have experienced the protest by competitors of new awards of contracts to us on grounds 
relating to the spin-off transaction. 

Certain contracts were bid for by our former Parent before completion of the spin-off transaction with the expressed 
intention that they be novated to us after award. Some of these proposals for contracts are still pending award by the 
government. Contract awards to our former Parent resulting from these proposals may be challenged by unsuccessful 
competitors who file a timely protest after such award. In addition, competitors have protested the award of bids to us that 
were submitted by us after completion of the spin-off but before the government approved the novation of the applicable 
contract vehicles to us from former Parent. These competitors have based their protests on grounds, among others, that 
we were not a qualified bidder since (i) the contract vehicle was not in our Company’s name at the time the bid was 
submitted and (ii) we should not be able to include the past performance of our business while we were owned by our 
former Parent. If competitors are successful in protesting the award of bids to us or our former Parent on these grounds or 
other spin-off related reasons, our revenue and results from operations would be negatively affected. 

We do not have a recent operating history as an independent company and our historical financial information 
may not be a reliable indicator of our future results. 

The historical pre-separation financial information we have included in this Annual Report has been derived from former 
Parent’s financial statements and does not necessarily reflect what our financial position, results of operations and cash 
flows would have been as a separate, stand-alone entity during the periods presented. Former Parent did not account for 
us, and we were not operated, as a single stand-alone entity for the applicable periods even if we represented an 
important business in former Parent’s historical financial statements. In addition, the historical information is not 
necessarily indicative of what our results of operations, financial position and cash flows will be in the future. For example, 
following the separation in September 2013, changes have been made to our cost structure, funding and operations, 
including changes for income taxes, increased costs associated with reduced economies of scale and increased costs 
associated with becoming a public, stand-alone company. While we generated net profits as part of former Parent, we 
cannot provide assurance that our profits will continue at a similar level or at all as a stand-alone company. 

We may be unable to achieve some or all of the benefits that we expected to achieve following the separation; 
our recent change to a matrix organizational structure or future changes in organizational structure, capabilities 
or strategy to respond to developments in our markets may not be successful. 

As an independent, publicly traded company, we expect that our business would benefit from, among other things, the 
removal of certain OCI in the pursuit of business opportunities, the alignment of our cost structure with our new business 
objectives and improved management incentive tools. However, by separating from former Parent, we may be more 
susceptible to market fluctuations and other adverse events than we would have been were we still a part of former 
Parent. In addition, we may not be able to achieve some or all of the benefits that we expected to achieve as an 
independent company, including additional revenues as a result of removing certain OCI as a result of the separation, in 
the time we expect, if at all. Further, in anticipation of the spin-off, we implemented a matrix organizational structure to 
better enable customer focus and more efficient use of resources while maintaining performance excellence. We may in 
the future make further changes to our organizational structure, change our mix of capabilities or modify our strategy to 
respond to developments in our markets and grow our business. The implementation of the matrix organizational structure 

-17- 

 
SCIENCE APPLICATIONS INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION 

or any future changes to our organizational structure, capabilities or strategy may not be successful or yield the 
anticipated benefits and they may ultimately have a negative effect on our business and results of operations. 

Our customers, prospective customers and suppliers may need assurances that our financial stability on a 
stand-alone basis is sufficient to satisfy their requirements for doing or continuing to do business with them. 

Some of our customers, prospective customers and suppliers may need assurances that our financial stability on a stand-
alone basis is sufficient to satisfy their requirements for doing or continuing to do business with them. If our customers, 
prospective customers or suppliers are not satisfied with our financial stability, it could have a material adverse effect on 
our ability to bid for and obtain or retain customer contracts, our business, financial condition, results of operations and 
cash flows. 

We may incur greater costs as an independent company than we did when we were part of former Parent. 

As part of former Parent, we could take advantage of former Parent’s size and purchasing power in procuring certain 
goods and services such as insurance and health care benefits, and technology such as computer software licenses. In 
addition, we relied on former Parent to provide various corporate functions. After the spin-off, as a separate, independent 
entity, we may be unable to obtain these goods, services and technologies at prices or on terms as favorable to us as 
those we obtained prior to the separation. We may also incur costs for functions previously performed by former Parent 
that are higher than the amounts reflected in our historical financial statements, which could cause our profitability to 
decrease. 

We have only a limited ability to protect our intellectual property rights, which are important to our success. Our 
failure to adequately protect our proprietary information and intellectual property rights could adversely affect 
our competitive position. 

We rely principally on trade secrets to protect much of our intellectual property in cases where we do not believe that 
patent protection is appropriate or obtainable. However, trade secrets are difficult to protect. Although our employees are 
subject to confidentiality obligations, this protection may be inadequate to deter or prevent misappropriation of our 
confidential information. We may be unable to detect unauthorized use of our intellectual property or otherwise take 
appropriate steps to enforce our rights. Failure to obtain or maintain trade secret protection could adversely affect our 
competitive business position. If we are unable to prevent third parties from infringing or misappropriating our copyrights, 
trademarks or other proprietary information, our competitive position could be adversely affected. In addition, in 
connection with the performance of services, the U.S. government has certain rights to inventions, data, software codes 
and related material that we develop under government-funded contracts and subcontracts, which may permit the U.S. 
government to disclose or license this information to third parties, including, in some instances, our competitors. 

In the course of conducting our business, we may inadvertently infringe the intellectual property rights of others, resulting 
in claims against us or our customers. Our contracts generally indemnify our customers for third-party claims for 
intellectual property infringement by the services and solutions we provide. The expense of defending these claims may 
adversely affect our financial results. 

Our insurance may be insufficient to protect us from claims or losses. 

We maintain insurance coverage with third-party insurers as part of our overall risk management strategy and because 
some of our contracts require us to maintain specific insurance coverage limits. However, not every risk or liability is or 
can be protected by insurance, and, for those risks we insure, the limits of coverage we purchase or that are reasonably 
obtainable in the market may not be sufficient to cover all actual losses or liabilities incurred. If any of our third-party 
insurers fail, cancel our coverage or otherwise are unable to provide us with adequate insurance coverage, then our 
overall risk exposure and our operational expenses would increase and the management of our business operations could 
be disrupted. Our insurance may be insufficient to protect us from significant warranty and other liability claims or losses. 
Moreover, there is a risk that commercially available liability insurance will not continue to be available to us at a 
reasonable cost, if at all. If liability claims or losses exceed our current or available insurance coverage, our business and 
prospects may be harmed. Regardless of the adequacy of our insurance coverage, any significant claim could have an 
adverse impact on our market reputation, which could have an adverse impact on our ability to compete for future 
contracts and task orders.

Business disruptions caused by natural disasters and other crises could adversely affect our profitability and our 
overall financial position. 

We have significant operations located in regions of the United States that may be exposed to damaging storms and other 
natural disasters, such as hurricanes, tornadoes, blizzards, flooding, wildfires or earthquakes. Our business could also be 
disrupted by pandemics and other national or international crises. Although preventative measures may help mitigate the 
damage from such occurrences, the damage and disruption to our business resulting from any of these events may be 
significant. If our insurance and other risk mitigation mechanisms are not sufficient to recover all costs, including loss of 
revenues from sales to customers, we could experience a material adverse effect on our financial position and results of 
operations. Performance failures and disruptions by our subcontractors due to these types of events may also adversely 
affect our ability to perform our obligations on a prime contract, which could reduce our profitability due to damages or 
other costs that may not be fully recoverable from the subcontractor or the customer and could result in a termination of 
our contract and have an adverse effect on our ability to compete for future contracts. 

We could incur significant liabilities and suffer negative publicity if our detection systems fail to operate as 
intended or our assessment reports prove to be inaccurate. 

We have developed and sold tsunami buoys and related services that are designed to assist in the detection of tsunamis 
or large waves that may have catastrophic consequences to coastal communities. Our buoys have been deployed by the 
U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and non-U.S. governments in other areas around the world. There 
are many factors, some of which are beyond our control, which could result in the failure of these buoys. We may develop 
other products or provide services for the detection of natural or manmade threats that could have catastrophic 
consequences if the threats are realized. In addition, we prepare reports for various government customers in the 
evaluation or assessment of the consequences of certain threats or natural disasters. The failure of our products and 
services to help detect the threats for which they were designed or the failure of our reports to accurately assess the 
consequences of certain threats could contribute to injury, death and extensive property damage and may lead to product 
liability, professional liability, or other claims against us. Further, if our products, services or reports fail to, or are 
perceived to have failed to help detect or adequately assess a threat, the negative publicity from such incident could have 
a material adverse effect on our business. 

Our services and operations sometimes involve using, handling or disposing of hazardous substances or 
dangerous materials, which could expose us to potentially significant liabilities. 

Some of our services and operations involve the use, handling or disposal of hazardous substances or dangerous 
materials, including explosive, chemical, biological, radiological or nuclear materials. These activities generally subject us 
to extensive foreign, federal, state and local environmental protection and health and safety laws and regulations, which, 
among other things, require us to incur costs to comply with these regulations and could impose liability on us for handling 
or disposing of hazardous substances or dangerous materials. Furthermore, failure to comply with these environmental 
protection and health and safety laws and regulations could result in civil, criminal, regulatory, administrative or 
contractual sanctions, including fines, penalties or suspension or debarment from contracting with the U.S. government or 
could cause us to incur costs to change, upgrade, remediate and/or close some of our operations or properties. Although 
we do not have extensive real estate holdings, our ownership and operation of real property also subjects us to 
environmental protection laws, some of which hold current or previous owners or operators of businesses and real 
property liable for hazardous substance releases, even if they did not know of and were not responsible for the releases. If 
we have any violations of, or incur liabilities pursuant to, these laws or regulations, our financial condition and operating 
results could be adversely affected. 

We face risks associated with our international business. 

Our international business operations may be subject to additional and different risks than our U.S. business. Failure to 
comply with U.S. government laws and regulations applicable to international business such as the Foreign Corrupt 
Practices Act or U.S. export control regulations could have an adverse impact on our business with the U.S. government 
and could expose us to administrative, civil or criminal penalties. Additionally, these risks relating to international 
operations may expose us to potentially significant contract losses.

In some countries, there is increased chance for economic, legal or political changes that may adversely affect the 
performance of our services, sale of our solutions or repatriation of our profits. International transactions can also involve 
increased financial and legal risks arising from foreign exchange rate variability, imposition of tariffs or additional taxes, 
restrictive trade policies and differing legal systems. We provide services and solutions in support of U.S. government 
customers in countries with governments that may be or may become unstable, which increases the risk of an incident 
resulting in injury or loss of life, or damage or destruction of property, or inability to meet our contractual obligations. 
Although our international operations have historically generated a small proportion of our revenues, we do not know the 
impact that these regulatory, geopolitical and other factors may have on our business in the future and any of these 
factors could adversely affect our business. 

Risks Relating to our Stock 

Provisions in our organizational documents, the Tax Matters Agreement and Delaware law could delay or prevent 
transactions that many stockholders may favor. 

Some provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws may have the effect of delaying, discouraging or preventing 
a merger or acquisition that our stockholders may consider favorable, including transactions in which stockholders might 
receive a premium for their shares. These restrictions, which may also make it more difficult for our stockholders to elect 
directors not endorsed by our current directors and management, include the following: 

• 

• 

• 

• 

our certificate of incorporation provides that its bylaws and certain provisions of its certificate of incorporation may 
be amended by only two-thirds or more voting power of all of the outstanding shares entitled to vote. These 
supermajority voting requirements could impede our stockholders’ ability to make changes to our certificate of 
incorporation and bylaws. 

our certificate of incorporation contains certain supermajority voting provisions, which generally provide that 
mergers and certain other business combinations between a related person and us be approved by the holders of 
securities having at least 80% of our outstanding voting power, as well as by the holders of a majority of the voting 
power of such securities that are not owned by the related person. 

our stockholders may not act by written consent. As a result, a holder, or holders, controlling a majority of our stock 
are limited in their ability to take certain actions other than in connection with the annual stockholders’ meeting or a 
special meeting called at the request of qualified stockholders as provided in our certificate of incorporation and 
bylaws. 

our Board of Directors may issue, without stockholder approval, shares of undesignated preferred stock. The ability 
to authorize undesignated preferred stock makes it possible for our Board of Directors to issue preferred stock with 
voting or other rights or preferences that could impede the success of any attempt to acquire us. 

As a Delaware corporation, we are also subject to certain restrictions on business combinations. Under Delaware law, a 
corporation may not engage in a business combination with any holder of 15% or more of its stock unless the holder has 
held the stock for three years, or among other things, our Board of Directors has approved the business combination or 
the transaction pursuant to which such person became a 15% holder prior to the time the person became a 15% holder. 

In addition, under the Tax Matters Agreement with former Parent, we agreed not to enter into any transaction involving an 
acquisition (including issuance) of our common stock or any other transaction (or, to the extent we have the right to 
prohibit it, to permit any such transaction) that could cause the distribution to be taxable to former Parent. We also agreed 
to indemnify former Parent for any tax resulting from any such transactions. Generally, former Parent will recognize 
taxable gain on the distribution if there are one or more acquisitions (including issuances) of our capital stock, directly or 
indirectly, representing 50% or more, measured by vote or value, of our then-outstanding capital stock, and the 
acquisitions or issuances are deemed to be part of a plan or series of related transactions that include the distribution. 
Any such shares of our common stock acquired, directly or indirectly, within two years before or after the distribution (with 
exceptions, including public trading by less-than-5% stockholders and certain compensatory stock issuances) will 
generally be presumed to be part of such a plan unless that presumption is rebutted. As a result, our obligations may 
discourage, delay or prevent a change of control of our Company. 

-20- 

 
SCIENCE APPLICATIONS INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION 

We have contracts with the U.S. government that are classified which may limit investor insight into portions of 
our business. 

We derive a portion of our revenues from programs with the U.S. government that are subject to security restrictions 
(classified programs), which preclude the dissemination of information that is classified for national security purposes. We 
are limited in our ability to provide information about these classified programs, their risks or any disputes or claims 
relating to such programs. As a result, investors have less insight into our classified programs than our other programs 
and therefore less ability to fully evaluate the risks related to our classified business. 

We cannot assure you that we will pay dividends on our stock in the future. 

The Board of Directors authorized and declared a quarterly cash dividend for each of the quarters since the separation 
from former Parent. The declaration of any future dividends and the establishment of the per share amount, record dates 
and payment dates for any future dividends are subject to the discretion of the Board of Directors taking into account 
future earnings, cash flows, financial requirements and other factors. There can be no assurance that the Board of 
Directors will declare any dividends in the future. In addition, our ability to declare and pay any future dividends may be 
restricted by the provisions of Delaware law and covenants in the New and Existing Credit Facilities. To the extent that 
expectations by market participants regarding the potential payment, or amount, of any dividend prove to be incorrect, the 
price of our common stock may be materially and negatively affected and investors that bought shares of our common 
stock based on those expectations may suffer a loss on their investment. 

Forward-Looking Statement Risks 

You may not be able to rely on forward-looking statements. 

This Annual Report contains forward-looking statements that are based on our management’s belief and assumptions 
about the future in light of information currently available to our management. In some cases, you can identify forward-
looking statements by words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “projects,” “intends,” “plans,” “anticipates,” 
“believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continue,” “outlook,” and similar words or phrases or the negative of these 
words or phrases. These statements relate to future events or our future financial performance, and involve known and 
unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or 
achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed 
or implied by these forward-looking statements. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking 
statements are reasonable when made, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or 
achievements. There are a number of important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those 
results anticipated by our forward-looking statements, which include, but are not limited to the risk factors discussed 
above. 

We do not undertake any obligation to update or revise any of the forward-looking statements to reflect events, 
circumstances, changes in expectations, or the occurrence of unanticipated events after the date of those statements or 
to conform these statements to actual results.

*  Our 3rd Quarter of fiscal 2014 began August 3, 2013. However, our stock did not begin trading until after the separation on 

September 30, 2013. 

As of March 6, 2015, there were approximately 30,000 holders of record of our common stock. The number of holders of 
record of our common stock may not be representative of the number of beneficial owners due to shares that may be held 
by depositories, brokers or nominees. 

Since our separation from former Parent, we have declared and paid quarterly dividends totaling $1.12 and $0.56 per 
share of our common stock for fiscal 2015 and fiscal 2014, respectively. We intend to continue paying dividends on a 
quarterly basis, although the declaration of any future dividends will be determined by our Board of Directors and will 
depend on available cash, estimated cash needs, earnings, financial condition, operating results, capital requirements, 
applicable contractual restrictions and other factors that our Board of Directors deems relevant. In addition, our ability to 
declare and pay future dividends on our stock may be restricted by the provisions of Delaware law and covenants in our 
New and Existing Credit Facilities.

We commenced operations on September 27, 2013 following completion of a spin-off transaction from our former parent 
company, Leidos Holdings, Inc. (collectively with its consolidated subsidiaries, “former Parent”). Our consolidated and 
combined statement of income data for fiscal years 2011 through 2013 consist entirely of the combined results of the

and combined balance sheet data as of the end of fiscal years 2011 through 2013 has been reflected on a historical basis, 
as immediately prior to the separation all of the assets and liabilities presented were wholly-owned by former Parent. For 
fiscal 2014, our consolidated and combined statement of income data consists of the combined results of the technical, 
engineering and enterprise IT services businesses of former Parent through separation from former Parent and our 
consolidated results subsequent to separation. Our consolidated balance sheet data at January 31, 2014 consists of our 
consolidated balances.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations 

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations and quantitative and qualitative 
disclosures about market risk should be read in conjunction with our consolidated and combined financial statements and 
the related notes. It contains forward-looking statements (which may be identified by words such as those described in 
“Risk Factors—Forward-Looking Statement Risks” in Part I of this Annual Report), including statements regarding our 
intent, belief, or current expectations with respect to, among other things, trends affecting our financial condition or results 
of operations, backlog, our industry, government budgets and spending and the impact of competition. Such statements 
are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties, and actual results may differ materially from 
those in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors. Factors that could cause or contribute to these 
differences include those discussed below and elsewhere in this Annual Report, particularly in “Risk Factors” in Part I of 
this Annual Report. Due to such uncertainties and risks, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-
looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. We do not undertake any obligation to update these factors or 
to publicly announce the results of any changes to our forward-looking statements due to future results or developments. 

References herein to “former Parent” refer to Leidos Holdings, Inc. (formerly SAIC, Inc.) collectively with its consolidated 
subsidiaries. We use the terms “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” to refer to both (1) Science Applications International 
Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries for time periods after the separation and (2), for time periods prior to 
separation, the technical, engineering and enterprise information technology (IT) services businesses of former Parent, 
which were contributed to Science Applications International Corporation as part of the separation. The financial 
information discussed below and included elsewhere in this Annual Report may not necessarily reflect what our financial 
condition, results of operations or cash flow would have been had we been a stand-alone company during the periods 
presented prior to separation or what our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows may be in the future.  

Unless otherwise noted, references to fiscal years are to fiscal years ended January 31 (for fiscal 2013 and earlier 
periods) or fiscal years ending the Friday closest to January 31 (for fiscal 2014 and later periods). For example, we refer 
to the fiscal year ended January 31, 2014 as “fiscal 2014.” Effective in fiscal 2014, we changed our fiscal year to a 52/53 
week fiscal year ending on the Friday closest to January 31, with interim fiscal quarters typically consisting of thirteen 
weeks and ending on the Friday closest to April 30, July 31, and October 31. 

Business Overview 

We are a leading provider of technical, engineering and enterprise IT services, primarily to the U.S. government. We 
provide engineering and integration offerings for large, complex government projects and offer a broad range of services 
with a targeted emphasis on higher-end, differentiated technology services. Our end-to-end enterprise IT offerings span 
the entire spectrum of our customers’ IT infrastructure.  

The SAIC brand has developed through over 45 years of addressing customers’ mission critical needs and solving their 
most complex problems. We serve markets of significant scale and opportunity, with our primary customers being the 
departments and agencies of the U.S. government. We serve our customers through more than 1,500 active contracts 
and task orders and employ approximately 13,000 individuals who are led by an experienced executive team of proven 
industry leaders. Serving our country’s defense and civilian markets, along with many commercial and state/local 
governments, has afforded us the ability to develop strong and longstanding relationships with some of the largest 
customers in the markets we serve. 

Having completed our first full fiscal year as a stand-alone company, we continue to believe we are well positioned to 
protect our existing business base, expand our offerings to current customers and grow into adjacent markets. We believe 
that SAIC’s value proposition is found in the proven ability to serve as a trusted adviser to our customers. In doing so, we 
leverage our expertise and scale to help them execute their mission. We succeed as a business based on the solutions 
we deliver, our past performance and our ability to compete on price. Our solutions are based on best practices,

Substantially all of our revenues are generated by, and tangible long-lived assets owned by, entities located in the United 
States. 

On March 1, 2015 the Company entered into a definitive agreement to acquire privately held Scitor Holdings, Inc. (Scitor), 
a market leading provider of services primarily to the intelligence community, for an all-cash purchase price of $790 million, 
subject to adjustment. The acquisition enables us to gain access to new customers primarily in the intelligence community 
and leverage capabilities of the combined company to better serve our customers. We intend to fund the transaction from 
increased borrowings and cash on hand. We have secured a firm financing commitment and expect to put in place 
permanent financing prior to closing. The transaction is expected to close in the second quarter of fiscal 2016, subject to 
customary closing conditions. 

Economic Opportunities, Challenges and Risks 

In fiscal 2015, we generated greater than 90% of our total revenues from contracts with the U.S. government and greater 
than 70% of our total revenues from contracts with the Department of Defense (DoD), including subcontracts on which we 
perform. Our business performance is affected by the overall level of U.S. government spending (especially defense 
spending) and the alignment of our offerings and capabilities with the budget priorities of the U.S. government. While we 
believe that national security, including defense, will continue to be a priority, the U.S. government budget deficit and the 
national U.S. debt have created pressure to examine and reduce spending across all federal agencies. Baseline spending 
for the DoD through U.S. government fiscal year 2023 has been reduced, and there may be further changes that 
negatively impact discretionary spending trends across all government agencies. Adverse changes in fiscal and economic 
conditions (such as the manner in which spending reductions are implemented, including sequestration, future 
government shutdowns, and issues related to the nation’s debt ceiling) could materially impact our business. 

The U.S. government has increasingly relied on contracts that are subject to a competitive bidding process, including 
Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ), U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) Schedule and other multi-award 
contracts, which has resulted in greater competition and increased pricing pressure. We expect that a majority of the 
business that we seek in the foreseeable future will be awarded through a competitive bidding process. Despite the 
budget and competitive pressures impacting the industry, we believe we are well positioned to expand customer 
penetration and benefit from opportunities that we have not previously pursued. 

Our scale, size and prime contractor leadership position are expected to help differentiate us from our competitors, 
especially on large contracts. We believe our long-term, trusted customer relationships and deep technical expertise 
provide us with the sophistication to handle mission-critical contracts. Our current competitive cost structure, as well as 
our ongoing efforts to maintain or reduce costs by centralizing strategic sourcing and developing repeatable offerings, is 
expected to allow us to compete effectively on price in the evolving environment. 

See “Risk Factors” in Part I of this Annual Report for additional discussion of our industry and regulatory environment. 

Management of Operating Performance and Reporting 

We manage our business to achieve our long-term financial targets, which we expect to accomplish on average and over 
time. These financial targets include low single digit organic revenue growth, operating margin expansion of 10 to 20 basis 
points annually, deployment of capital in excess of operating needs, and financial leverage appropriate for a company with 
our investment requirements and cash generating characteristics. 

Our business and program management process is directed by professional managers focused on satisfying our 
customers by providing high quality services and through carefully monitoring contract margin performance by constantly 
evaluating contract level risks and opportunities. Through each contract’s lifecycle, program management reviews 
performance and updates estimates to reflect their understanding of the best information available. For contracts 
accounted for under the percentage-of-completion method of revenue recognition, updates to estimates are recognized 
on inception-to-date activity, during the period of adjustment, resulting in either a favorable or unfavorable impact to 
operating income.

We evaluate our results of operations through an understanding of the drivers causing changes in sales, operating income 
and operating cash flows. Changes in sales and operating income are generally explained with regards to volume from 
fluctuations in cost of revenues related to the delivery of our services and, where the impact is significant, individual 
contracts or programs are described. We also analyze our revenues by type of cost (labor, subcontractor or materials) to 
better manage and find opportunities to improve operating margin rates. Changes in operating income performance due 
to factors other than volume are normally driven by fluctuations in shared or corporate costs and changes in contract 
estimates. Changes in operating cash flows are described with regards to changes in cash generated through the delivery 
of services, significant drivers of fluctuations in assets or liabilities and the impacts of changes in timing on the above. 

Results of Operations 

The primary financial performance measures we use to manage our business and monitor results of operations are

percentage of revenues, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, provides useful information to investors regarding the Company’s 
financial condition and results of operations. 

Revenues. From fiscal 2013 to fiscal 2014 revenues decreased by $673 million, or 14%. The decrease from fiscal 2014 to 
2015 was less pronounced, decreasing $182 million, or 5%. The easing of the revenue contraction is a result of the 
reduced impact of programs which ended in prior years, including the DISN Global Solutions program (DGS), an Army 
Reserve and National Guard technical support program and lower activity on in-theater logistics programs. Although 
budget pressures, funding delays and changing government procurement strategies have continued to result in lower DoD 
program material and subcontract revenues, the magnitude of the impact was lower in fiscal 2015 compared to the prior 
year. For fiscal 2015 these decreases were partially offset by revenues on newly awarded programs and increased 
material volume on supply chain contracts.

Revenues performed by former Parent decreased in the current year due to the expected ramp down of pre-separation 
joint work. These revenues are recorded equal to cost to reflect that no additional profit is charged to the customer for 
work performed by former Parent. 

Operating Income. From fiscal 2013 to fiscal 2014 operating income decreased $98 million to 4.6% of revenues from 
6.0% of revenues for fiscal 2013 primarily as a result of an increase in separation transaction and restructuring expenses 
and lower revenue volume. Operating income increased $57 million to 6.3% of revenues in fiscal 2015 primarily due to 
significantly lower separation transaction and restructuring expense and strong program execution resulting in net 
favorable changes in estimates on contracts accounted for under the percentage-of-completion method. We also incurred 
$1 million of costs related to the contemplated acquisition of Scitor in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 and expect the 
remainder of the acquisition related costs to be incurred in the first and second quarters of fiscal 2016.

Cash Flows Provided by Operating Activities. From fiscal 2013 to fiscal 2014 cash flows provided by operating activities 
decreased $97 million, or 35%, while in fiscal 2015 returned to an amount consistent with fiscal 2013, increasing $94 
million, or 51%, from fiscal 2014. Cash flows decreased in fiscal 2014 compared to fiscal 2013 primarily due to lower net 
income of $69 million, a reduction in payroll liabilities resulting from a reduction in number of employees, and lower 
accrued vacation due to a change in our vacation accrual policy in fiscal 2014, which resulted in total payments to 
employees for previously accrued vacation of $14 million.  

In fiscal 2015 cash flows provided by operating activities increased from fiscal 2014 due to current year utilization of 
prepaid income taxes of $29 million, higher net income of $28 million and strong customer collections across several 
programs. Further contributing to the increase in cash is the absence of liquidations, as described above, of payroll 
liabilities that reduced cash flows provided by operating activities in the prior year. 

Other Key Performance Measures 

In addition to the primary financial performance measures, we also believe that bookings and backlog are useful 
measures for management and investors to evaluate our potential future revenues. In addition, we consider measures 
such as contract types and revenue mix to be useful for management and investors to evaluate our operating income and 
performance. 

Bookings and Backlog. We had net bookings worth an estimated $3.4 billion and $3.0 billion during fiscal 2015 and fiscal 
2014, respectively. Net bookings represent the estimated amount of revenue to be earned in the future from funded and 
negotiated unfunded contract awards that were received during the period, net of adjustments to estimates on previously 
awarded contracts. We do not include in backlog estimates of revenue to be derived from IDIQ contracts, but rather 
record backlog and bookings when task orders are awarded on these contracts. Given that much of our revenue is 
derived from IDIQ contract task orders that renew annually, bookings on these contracts tend to refresh annually as the 
task orders are renewed. Additionally, we do not include in backlog contract awards that are under protest until the protest 
is resolved in our favor. Bookings and backlog fluctuate from period to period depending on the government’s initial 
procurement plans which dictate the scope of required services and means of procuring them as well as the eventual 
timing and value of contract awards, contract renewals, awards under protest, contract modifications and cancellations. 

We calculate net bookings as the period’s ending backlog plus the period’s revenues less the prior period’s ending 
backlog. Backlog represents the estimated amount of future revenues to be recognized under negotiated contracts as 
work is performed. We segregate our backlog into two categories as follows: 

•  Funded Backlog. Funded backlog for contracts with government agencies primarily represents estimated amounts 
of revenue to be earned in the future for which funding has already been appropriated less revenues previously 
recognized on these contracts. It does not include the unfunded portion of contracts where funding is incrementally 
appropriated or authorized on a quarterly or annual basis by the U.S. government and other customers even 
though the contract may call for performance over a number of years. Funded backlog for contracts with non-
government agencies represents the estimated value on contracts, which may cover multiple future years, under 
which we are obligated to perform, less revenues previously recognized on these contracts. 

•  Negotiated Unfunded Backlog. Negotiated unfunded backlog represents estimated amounts of revenue to be 
earned in the future from (1) negotiated contracts for which funding has not been appropriated or otherwise 
authorized and (2) unexercised priced contract options. Negotiated unfunded backlog does not include any 
estimate of future potential task orders expected to be awarded under IDIQ, GSA Schedule or other master 
agreement contract vehicles. 

We expect to recognize revenue from a substantial portion of our funded backlog within the next 12 months (from the end 
of the reporting period). However, the U.S. government can adjust the scope of services of or cancel contracts at any 
time. Similarly, certain contracts with commercial customers include provisions that allow the customer to cancel prior to 
contract completion. Most of our contracts have cancellation terms that would permit us to recover all or a portion of our 
incurred costs and fees for work performed.

The decline in backlog was driven primarily by contract award timing and the lack of resolution of contract protests. During 
fiscal 2015, we submitted $9 billion in proposals which represents a 3% increase over the prior year. Our backlog 
fluctuates from year to year based on the timing of large contract awards and, for protested awards, favorable protest 
resolution. For example, during fiscal 2015 the award of the High Performance Computing Modernization Program 
Integrated Technical Services (HITS) contract was protested. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 the government customer 
took corrective action, requesting that bidders resubmit their proposals. We now expect that this program will be awarded 
to the winner of the resubmission process during fiscal 2016. 

Contract Types. Our earnings and profitability may vary materially depending on changes in the proportionate amount of 
revenues derived from each type of contract. For a discussion of the types of contracts under which we generate revenue, 
see “Business—Contract Types” in Part I of this Annual Report. The following table summarizes revenues by contract 
type as a percentage of total revenues for the periods presented:

Revenue Mix. We generate revenues under our contracts from the efforts of our employees (which we refer to below as

revenues and materials-related revenues generally have lower margins than our labor-related revenues. The following table

Labor-related revenues as a percentage of total revenues increased in fiscal 2015 due to the decrease in subcontractor 
revenue discussed below and our continued efforts to adjust our contract labor mix in favor of work performed by our 
employees. 

Subcontractor-related revenues decreased in fiscal 2015 and fiscal 2014, relative to each’s respective prior periods, 
primarily due to funding delays on certain DoD contracts as well as the loss of DGS (which ended in fiscal 2014). Supply 
chain materials-related revenues increased as a result of stronger than usual ordering activity by the DoD near the end of 
the government fiscal year and continued into the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015. 

Other materials-related revenues decreased for fiscal 2014 compared to fiscal 2013 primarily on IT and logistics contracts 
affected by the in-theater force drawdown and due to the completion of an Army Reserve and National Guard technical 
support program.

Liquidity and Capital Resources 

We strive to consistently and efficiently convert our earnings from operations into cash available for deployment for the 
ultimate purpose of increasing shareholder value and, accordingly, seek to be positioned to take advantage of business 
opportunities as and when they arise. Since separation, we have endeavored to deploy capital consistent with our 
objective to maintain a target average minimum cash balance of $150 million, while also managing our debt level. We 
intend to deploy excess capital above this level though dividends, share repurchases, additional debt amortization or 
strategic acquisitions. In March 2015 we entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Scitor, a strategic acquisition which  
will provide access to new customers in the intelligence community. We have secured a firm financing commitment and 
expect to put in place permanent financing prior to closing. In March 2015 we amended the terms of our existing Credit 
Facility to, among other things, provide for and permit the Company to incur approximately $670 million of additional 
secured debt to finance the planned acquisition and permit the conversion of our existing Revolving and Term Loan 
Facilities from unsecured loans to secured loans upon completion of the acquisition. We intend to fund the acquisition 
through these increased borrowings and cash on hand.  

We use various financial measures when we develop and update our disciplined cash deployment methodology, which 
include evaluating cash provided by operating activities, free cash flow and financial leverage. Our business requires 
minimal infrastructure investment because we are primarily a services provider. We expect to fund our ongoing working 
capital, commitments and any other discretionary investments with existing cash and cash equivalents, future cash flows 
from operations and, if needed, borrowings under our $200 million Revolving Credit Facility. 

Borrowings under our Term Loan Facility and, if used in the future, our Revolving Credit Facility incur interest at a variable 
rate. In accordance with our risk management objectives, we hold fixed rate swap agreements for the same notional 
amount and tenor as the existing Term Loan Facility. These instruments are used to hedge the variability in interest 
payment cash flows and are accounted for as a cash flow hedge. Under the swap agreements, we pay the fixed rate and 
the counterparties to the agreement pay a floating interest rate, for which settlement occurs monthly. We expect to 
evaluate any additional debt that we incur in the future in accordance with our risk management objectives.  

Both the Term Loan Facility and Revolving Credit Facility contain customary terms and conditions including financial 
covenants and covenants restricting the Company's ability to merge or consolidate with another entity or undertake other 
fundamental changes, enter into property sale and leaseback transactions, and incur liens. The Company’s dividends and 
share repurchases are limited under certain leverage ratios. Through the New Credit Facility the covenants contained in 
our Existing Credit Facility will be modified upon the acquisition of Scitor. See Note 15 of the notes to the consolidated 
and combined financial statements for further information about the New Credit Facility. See Note 8 of the notes to the 
consolidated and combined financial statements contained within this Annual Report for a complete understanding of our 
existing Credit Facilities. 

We anticipate that our future cash needs will be for working capital, capital expenditures, contractual and other 
commitments and strategic investments. Our ability to fund these needs will depend, in part, on our ability to generate 
cash in the future, which depends on our future financial results. Our future results are subject to general economic, 
financial, competitive, legislative and regulatory factors that may be outside of our direct control. Although we believe that 
the financing arrangements in place will permit us to finance our operations on acceptable terms and conditions for at 
least the next year, our future access to, and the availability of financing on acceptable terms and conditions will be 
impacted by many factors, including: our credit quality, capital market liquidity and overall economic conditions. Therefore, 
we cannot ensure that such financing will be available to us on acceptable terms or that such financing will be available at 
all. Nevertheless, we believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents, generation of future operating cash flows, and 
access to bank financing and capital markets will provide adequate resources to fund our short-term liquidity and long-
term capital needs.

Cash Provided by Operating Activities. Refer to “Results of Operations” above for a discussion of the changes in cash 
provided by operating activities between fiscal 2015 and fiscal 2014 and between fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013. 

Cash Used in Investing Activities. Cash used in investing activities has increased in both fiscal 2015 and fiscal 2014, 
compared to the respective prior year, primarily due to investments in facility leasehold improvements and furniture and 
fixtures, investments to optimize our IT infrastructure as a stand-alone company and the renovation of our corporate 
headquarters as a result of our separation from former Parent. 

Cash Used in/Provided by Financing Activities. Cash used in financing activities for fiscal 2015 increased compared to 
fiscal 2014. Fiscal 2014 cash flows provided by financing activities reflect proceeds from our $500 million term loan, 
partially offset by net transfers to former Parent of $103 million for pre-separation cash settlement activity as well as a 
$295 million dividend to former Parent in connection with the separation. Fiscal 2015 cash flows used in financing 
activities reflects four quarters of dividend payments compared to two quarters in the prior year period as well as stock 
repurchases and principal payments on borrowings in the current year, which we did not engage in prior to separation 
from former Parent. 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements 

As of January 30, 2015, we have obligations relating to letters of credit of $7 million, principally related to guarantees on 
insurance policies. We also have obligations relating to surety bonds in the amount of $11 million, principally related to 
performance and payment bonds on our contracts. These arrangements have not had, and management does not believe 
that they likely will have, a material effect on our liquidity, capital resources, operations or financial condition.  

For an understanding of our operating leases, see “Contractual Obligations” within this section and Note 11 of the notes to

(4)  Other long-term liabilities primarily consist of liabilities associated with deferred compensation plan obligations and deferred rent. 

Deferred compensation plan obligations have been allocated to fiscal years based on participants’ payment elections on retirement 
and estimated retirement ages, but is subject to acceleration on participants’ termination of employment prior to retirement. 
Deferred rent has been allocated to fiscal years on a straight-line basis over the remaining contractual lease term but actual 
expense may be accelerated on early termination of the lease arrangement (or vacating a leased facility prior to the end of the 
lease). 

Commitments and Contingencies 

We are subject to a number of reviews, investigations, claims, lawsuits and other uncertainties related to our business. 
For a discussion of these items, see Note 13 of the notes to the consolidated and combined financial statements 
contained within this Annual Report. 

Critical Accounting Policies 

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated and 
combined financial statements, which are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles 
(GAAP). The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that 
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingencies at the date of the financial 
statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Note 1 of the notes 
to the consolidated and combined financial statements contained within this Annual Report describes the significant 
accounting policies and methods utilized in the preparation of the consolidated and combined financial statements. 
Management evaluates these estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Our estimates and assumptions have 
been prepared on the basis of the most current reasonably available information. The results of these estimates form the 
basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other 
sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.  

Management believes that our critical accounting policies are those that are both material to the presentation of our 
financial condition and results of operations and require management’s most difficult, subjective and complex judgments. 
Typically, the circumstances that make these judgments difficult, subjective and complex have to do with making 
estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. These policies are described below.

Revenue Recognition. We generate our revenues primarily from long-term contracts with the U.S. government for 
technical, engineering and enterprise IT services. We evaluate the nature of the contract and the services provided when 
determining the accounting method utilized for each contract. We recognize a significant portion of our revenues using the 
cost-to-cost percentage-of-completion method of accounting which requires us to rely on the skill and expertise of our 
engineers, program managers and business management professionals in the many areas of cost estimation. These 
estimates of costs can span several years and take into account many factors, such as availability, productivity and cost 
of labor, delays in our performance and the level of indirect cost allocations. 

We provide for anticipated losses on all types of contracts by recording an expense in the amount of the total expected 
contract loss during the period when the loss is determined. Amounts billed and collected but not yet earned as revenues 
under certain types of contracts are deferred. Contract costs incurred for U.S. government contracts, including indirect 
costs, are subject to audit and adjustment through negotiations with government representatives. Revenues on U.S. 
government contracts have been recorded in amounts that are expected to be realized upon final settlement. 

Changes in Estimates on Contracts. As described above, changes in estimates of revenues, cost of revenues, or profits 
related to contracts accounted for using the cost-to-cost percentage-of-completion method of accounting are recognized 
in the period in which such changes are made for the inception-to-date effect of the changes. If it is determined that a loss 
will result from the performance of a contract, the entire amount of the estimable future loss is charged against income in 
the period the loss is identifiable. Changes in these estimates can routinely occur during contract performance  for a 
variety of reasons which include changes in contract scope, changes in contract cost estimates due to unanticipated cost 
growth or retirements of risk for amounts different than estimated and changes in estimated incentive or award fees. 
Aggregate changes in contract estimates increased operating income by $11 million for fiscal 2015, reduced operating 
income by $4 million for fiscal 2014 and reduced operating income by $2 million for fiscal 2013. For additional information 
related to changes in estimates on contracts, including gross favorable and unfavorable adjustments as well as the impact 
to earnings per share, see Note 1 of the notes to the consolidated and combined financial statements contained within this 
Annual Report. 

Goodwill. Goodwill is recorded as the difference, if any, between the aggregate consideration paid for an acquisition and 
the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Goodwill is not amortized, but 
rather tested for potential impairment annually at the beginning of the fourth quarter, or whenever events or changes in 
circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.  

The goodwill impairment test is a two-step process performed at the reporting unit level. Under the first step, we estimate 
and compare the fair value of each reporting unit to its respective carrying value including goodwill. If the fair value is less 
than the carrying value, a second step is performed to calculate the amount of impairment expense, which is equal to the 
difference between the reporting unit’s carrying amount of goodwill and its implied fair value of goodwill. The implied fair 
value of the reporting unit’s goodwill is the difference between the fair value of a reporting unit (as calculated in step one), 
and the reporting unit’s carrying value excluding goodwill.  

Determining the fair value of each reporting unit involves judgment and the use of estimates and assumptions. We 
estimate the fair value of each reporting unit using a market approach, based on multiples of earnings derived from 
observable market data of comparable public companies. We evaluate companies within our market industry that have 
operations with observable and comparable economic characteristics and are similar in nature, scope and size to the 
reporting unit being compared. We analyze historical acquisitions in our market industry to estimate a control premium 
that we incorporate into the fair value estimate of each reporting unit. We reconcile the aggregate fair value of all of our 
reporting units to the Company’s market capitalization as of the measurement date. In addition, determining the carrying 
value of each reporting unit requires judgment and involves the assignment of assets and liabilities to the reporting units 
based on a systematic and rational allocation methodology. Certain assets and liabilities may be specifically identified and 
assigned to a reporting unit based on the information contained within our financial systems; whereas, other assets and 
liabilities may be allocated using measurable relationships or other basis for allocation. The fair values and carrying 
values of our reporting units are based on estimates and assumptions that are consistently applied and reasonable. 
Significant changes to these estimates and assumptions could adversely impact our conclusions.  

Income Taxes. Our income tax expense, deferred tax assets and liabilities, and liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits 
reflect our best estimate of current and future taxes to be paid and includes judgments related to matters for which 
ultimate resolution may not become known until the final resolution of an examination by the U.S. Internal Revenue 
Service or state agencies.  

-36- 

 
SCIENCE APPLICATIONS INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION 

We record net deferred tax assets to the extent we believe these assets will more likely than not be realized. In making 
this determination, we consider all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable 
temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent operating results. If we were to 
determine that we would be able to realize our deferred income tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded 
amount or would no longer be able to realize our deferred income tax assets in the future as currently recorded, we would 
make an adjustment to the valuation allowance which would either decrease or increase, respectively, the provision for 
income taxes. 

We also recognize liabilities for uncertain tax positions when it is more likely than not that a tax position will not be 
sustained on examination and settlement with various taxing authorities. Liabilities for uncertain tax positions are 
measured based on our estimate of the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on 
ultimate settlement. 

Stock-Based Compensation. We issue stock-based awards, including stock options, vesting stock awards and 
performance share awards as compensation to employees and directors. These awards are accounted for as equity 
awards. We recognize stock-based compensation expense net of estimated forfeitures on a straight-line basis over the 
underlying award’s requisite service period, as measured using the award’s grant date fair value. For performance share 
awards, the Company reassesses the probability of achieving the performance conditions at each reporting period and 
adjusts compensation expense based on the expected number of shares the Company expects to ultimately issue. 
Absent sufficient history as a stand-alone company, we estimate forfeitures using former Parent’s historical experience.  

We use the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to calculate the grant date fair value of stock options awarded. The model 
calculates the fair value based on input assumptions about, among other things, employee exercise behavior and the 
expected volatility of our common stock. The assumptions used in the model represent our best estimates, but these 
estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of judgment. As a result, if factors change and we use 
different assumptions, our stock-based compensation expense could be materially different in the future. In addition, we 
are required to estimate the expected forfeiture rate and recognize expense only for those awards expected to vest. If our 
actual forfeiture rate is materially different from our estimate, the stock-based compensation expense could be 
significantly different from what we have recorded over the awards’ respective service periods. For further discussion on 
the assumptions used, see Note 5 of the notes to the consolidated and combined financial statements contained within 
this Annual Report. 

Recently Issued But Not Yet Adopted Accounting Pronouncements 

For information on recently issued but not yet adopted accounting pronouncements, see Note 1 of the notes to the 
consolidated and combined financial statements contained within this Annual Report. 

Effects of Inflation 

For any of the most recent three fiscal years ended January 30, 2015, inflation has not had a significant impact on 
revenues or costs. Most of our contracts are paid in U.S. dollars and our cost to perform on these contracts are generally 
paid in U.S. dollars and so inflation risk is generally limited to that of the U.S. economy. Approximately 40% of our 
revenues for fiscal 2015 was derived from cost-reimbursement type contracts, which have limited inflation risk because 
our contracts generally entail the provision of labor on a reimbursable basis, and, when materials are acquired, they 
provide for billing to the customer during the period in which the materials were received. Bids for longer-term FFP and 
T&M contracts typically include sufficient provisions for labor and other cost escalations to cover anticipated cost 
increases over the period of performance. As a result, if we were to experience significant levels of inflation, our revenues 
and costs for cost-type contracts would generally both increase commensurate with inflation and operating income as a 
percentage of total revenues would not be significantly affected. Operating income as a percentage of total revenues 
would not be significantly affected for longer-term FFP and T&M contracts to the extent that bid contract cost escalations 
are sufficient to cover heightened inflation levels.  

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk 

We are exposed to certain market risks in the normal course of business. The following information about our market 
sensitive financial instruments contains forward-looking statements. 

-37- 

 
SCIENCE APPLICATIONS INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION 

Foreign Currency Risk 

Since the substantial majority of our business is conducted in U.S. dollars, a 10% change in foreign currency exchange 
rates would not have a material impact to our financial condition or results of operations. 

Interest Rate Risk 

Debt obligations. Our financial risk management objective is to reduce variability in earnings from changes in interest 
rates, which we may manage through operational means or the use of financial instruments, such as interest rate swaps. 
We have approximately $500 million of variable rate debt. The fair value of our outstanding long-term debt obligations 
approximate their carrying value. In connection with the issuance of our variable rate Term Loan Facility, we entered into 
fixed interest rate swap agreements with the same aggregate notional amount and tenor as the underlying debt, 
effectively converting our variable rate debt to fixed rate debt in order to mitigate our exposure to fluctuations in interest 
rates. We expect to evaluate any additional debt that we incur in the future in accordance with our risk management 
objectives. Accordingly, a hypothetical 50 basis points (bps) change to interest rates would not materially change our 
results of operations or cash flows. For additional information related to our debt and interest rate swap agreements, see 
Notes 8 and 9, respectively, of the notes to the consolidated and combined financial statements contained in this Annual 
Report. 

Derivatives. As of January 30, 2015, the fair value of our fixed interest rate swaps was $8 million (liability). Under the 
swap agreements, we pay a fixed rate of 1.41% and the counterparties to the agreements pay a floating interest rate 
based on 1-month LIBOR. A hypothetical 50 bps change in the 1-month LIBOR curve would change the fair value of the 
fixed interest rate swaps up to $7 million (liability or asset). Since the interest rate swaps are accounted for as cash flow 
hedges, the change in fair value is reported as a component of equity (accumulated other comprehensive income or loss). 
We do not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. For additional information 
related to calculating the fair value of our interest rate swaps, see Note 9 of the consolidated and combined financial 
statements included in this Annual Report. 

Cash equivalents. A 10% unfavorable interest rate movement for interest earned on our cash and cash equivalents would 
not materially impact the value of the Company’s cash holdings and would have a negligible impact on interest income at 
current market interest rates. 

Inflation Risk 

We have generally been able to anticipate increases in costs when pricing our contracts. Bids for longer-term FFP 
contracts typically include labor and other cost escalations in amounts that historically have been sufficient to cover cost 
increases over the period of performance.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures 

Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer (our Chief Executive Officer) and principal 
financial officer (our Chief Financial Officer), has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures 
(as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of January 30, 2015, and our 
principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are 
effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities 
Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and 
forms of the SEC. These disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed 
to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities 
Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer 
and our principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting 

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 that 
materially affected, or are likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. 

Management’s Report On Internal Control Over Financial Reporting 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. 
Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of 
financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP. 

Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of 
records that, in reasonable detail, completely, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; 
(ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of the financial 
statements in accordance with GAAP; (iii) provide reasonable assurance that our receipts and expenditures are made 
only in accordance with the authorization of our management and directors, and (iv) provide reasonable assurance 
regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of assets that could have a 
material effect on the consolidated and combined financial statements. Internal control over financial reporting includes 
the controls themselves, monitoring and internal auditing practices and actions taken to correct deficiencies as identified. 

Our management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the 
effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of January 30, 2015 based on the framework established in 
the 2013 Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway 
Commission. Our management has assessed in its evaluation the effectiveness of our internal control over financial 
reporting as of January 30, 2015 and has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting as of that date was 
effective. 

Deloitte & Touche LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, audited our consolidated and combined 
financial statements included in this Annual Report and our internal control over financial reporting, and the firm’s report 
on our internal control over financial reporting are set forth below this report. 

Although our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, is responsible for 
establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, because of inherent limitations, our 
management does not expect that our internal controls over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors and all 
fraud. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness in such assessment to future periods are subject to the risk that 
controls may be inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or 
procedures may deteriorate.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM 

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of  
Science Applications International Corporation 
McLean, Virginia 

We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Science Applications International Corporation and 
subsidiaries (the "Company") as of January 30, 2015, based on the criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated 
Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. The Company's 
management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the 
effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal 
Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal control over 
financial reporting based on our audit. 

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United 
States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether 
effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an 
understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and 
evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such 
other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable 
basis for our opinion. 

A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company's 
principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the company's 
board of directors, management, and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial 
reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted 
accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) 
pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and 
dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary 
to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that 
receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and 
directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized 
acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. 

Because of the inherent limitations of internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or 
improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may not be prevented or 
detected on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial 
reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in 
conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. 

In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of 
January 30, 2015, based on the criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the 
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. 

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United 
States), the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended January 30, 2015 of the Company and our 
report dated March 31, 2015 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.

(3)  Includes 1,893,517 shares of our common stock available for issuance under the 2013 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP). 

The maximum number of shares initially available for issuance under the ESPP was 1 million. The ESPP provides for an automatic 
increase to the share reserve on the first day of each fiscal year beginning on February 1, 2014 in an amount equal to the lesser of 
(i) 1 million shares, (ii) two percent of the number of shares of our common stock outstanding on the last day of the immediately 
preceding fiscal year or (iii) a number determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. On February 2, 2014 
the amount available for issuance under the ESPP increased by 973,477. In addition, this includes 2,698,840 shares of our 
common stock available for issuance under the 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (EIP). The maximum number of shares initially available 
for issuance under the EIP was 5.7 million, which was increased by 2.8 million per the amended and restated 2013 Equity 
Incentive Plan, adopted June 4, 2014, amounting to a total authorized for issuance of 8.5 million. We expect that the number of 
shares actually issued under the EIP will be significantly less than the number of total awards outstanding under the plan because 
(a) a net option exercise results in a smaller portion of the number of award shares being issued when a participant uses award 
shares, rather than cash, to pay the exercise price, which historically most participants have elected to do, (b) most participants 
historically have elected to let the Company retain award shares to pay for taxes due on the exercise of options and all participants 
are required to use award shares to pay for taxes upon the vesting of restricted stock or restricted stock units, (c) some participants 
may terminate employment with the Company before the vesting of awards resulting in awards being forfeited and (d) some 
participants may not exercise stock options before the expiration date for a variety of reasons, including if the exercise price 
exceeds the then current market price of shares.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM 

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of  
Science Applications International Corporation 
McLean, Virginia 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Science Applications International Corporation and 
subsidiaries (the "Company") as of the fiscal year ended January 30, 2015 and January 31, 2014, and the related 
consolidated and combined statements of income, comprehensive income, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each 
of the three fiscal years in the period ended January 30, 2015. These financial statements are the responsibility of the 
Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United 
States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the 
financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting 
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used 
and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We 
believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. 

In our opinion, such consolidated and combined financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial 
position of Science Applications International Corporation and subsidiaries as of January 30, 2015 and January 31 2014, 
and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three fiscal years in the period ended January 30, 
2015, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. 

As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated and combined financial statements, on and prior to September 27, 2013, the 
consolidated and combined financial statements were prepared from separate records maintained by the Company’s 
former parent and may not necessarily be indicative of the conditions that would have existed or the results of operations 
of the Company had it been operated as an independent entity. 

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United 
States), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of January 30, 2015, based on the criteria established 
in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the 
Treadway Commission and our report dated March 31, 2015 expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company's internal 
control over financial reporting.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

Note 1—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies 

Overview 

Description of Business. Science Applications International Corporation (collectively, with its consolidated subsidiaries, the 
“Company”) is a leading provider of technical, engineering and enterprise information technology (IT) services primarily to 
the U.S. government. The Company provides systems engineering and integration services for large, complex projects 
and offers a broad range of services with a targeted emphasis on higher-end, differentiated technology services. 

Effective February 1, 2014, the Company reorganized its operational structure by changing the composition of its 
operating segments to better align with the Company’s customer-oriented strategic growth initiatives. Each of the 
operating segments is focused on providing the Company’s comprehensive technical and enterprise IT service offerings 
to its respective customer base. The Company’s operating segments have been aggregated into one reportable segment 
for financial reporting purposes, as discussed in Note 12. 

Separation from former Parent. The Company commenced its operations on September 27, 2013 (the Distribution Date) 
following completion of a tax-free spin-off transaction from its former parent company, Leidos Holdings, Inc. (formerly 
SAIC, Inc., collectively with its consolidated subsidiaries, “former Parent”). In the spin-off transaction, former Parent’s 
technical, engineering and enterprise IT services business was separated into an independent, publicly traded company 
named Science Applications International Corporation (formerly SAIC Gemini, Inc.). 

Principles of Consolidation and Combination and Basis of Presentation 

Prior to the separation, the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows consisted of the technical, 
engineering and enterprise IT services businesses of former Parent, which represented a combined reporting entity. The 
Company’s combined statements of income and comprehensive income, and cash flows for fiscal 2013 consist entirely of 
the combined results of the technical, engineering and enterprise IT services businesses of former Parent. 

Subsequent to the separation, the Company’s consolidated and combined statements of income and comprehensive 
income and cash flows for fiscal 2014 consists of both of the combined results of the technical, engineering and enterprise 
IT services businesses of former Parent through the Distribution Date and the Company’s consolidated results 
subsequent to the Distribution Date. The Company’s consolidated balance sheet at January 31, 2014 consists of the 
Company’s consolidated balances. On and prior to September 27, 2013, the consolidated and combined financial 
statements were prepared from separate records maintained by former Parent and may not necessarily be indicative of 
the conditions that would have existed or the results of operations of the Company had it been operated as an 
independent entity. 

References to “financial statements” refer to the consolidated and combined financial statements of the Company, which 
include the statements of income and comprehensive income, balance sheets, statements of equity and statements of 
cash flows. These financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles 
(GAAP). All intercompany transactions and account balances within the Company have been eliminated. 

Use of Estimates 

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and 
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingencies at the date of 
the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. 
Management evaluates these estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis, including those related to allowances for 
doubtful accounts, inventories, fair value and impairment of intangible assets and goodwill, income taxes, estimated 
profitability of long-term contracts, stock-based compensation expense, fair value of financial instruments, contingencies 
and litigation. Estimates have been prepared by management on the basis of the most current and best available 
information at the time of estimation and actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

Reporting Periods 

The Company utilizes a 52/53 week fiscal year ending on the Friday closest to January 31, with fiscal quarters typically 
consisting of 13 weeks. Fiscal 2013 began on February 1, 2012 and ended on January 31, 2013. Fiscal 2014 began on 
February 1, 2013 and ended on January 31, 2014. Fiscal 2015 began on February 1, 2014 and ended on January 30, 
2015. 

Revenue Recognition 

The Company’s revenues are generated primarily from contracts with the U.S. government, commercial customers, and 
various international, state and local governments or from subcontracts with other contractors engaged in work with such 
customers. The Company performs under various types of contracts, which include firm-fixed price (FFP), time and 
materials (T&M), cost-plus-fixed-fee, cost-plus-award-fee, and cost-plus-incentive-fee contracts. 

FFP contracts—Revenues and profits on these contracts that are system integration or engineering in nature are 
primarily recognized using the percentage-of-completion method of accounting utilizing the cost-to-cost method. 

T&M contracts—Revenues are recognized on T&M contracts with the U.S. government using the percentage-of-
completion method of accounting utilizing an output measure of progress. Revenues are recognized on T&M 
contracts with non-U.S. government customers using a proportional performance method. Under both of these 
methods, revenues are recognized based on the hours provided in performance under the contract multiplied by the 
negotiated contract billing rates, plus the negotiated contract billing rate of any allowable material and subcontract 
costs and out-of-pocket expenses. 

Cost-plus-fixed-fee contracts—Revenues are recognized on cost-plus-fixed-fee contracts with the U.S. government 
on the basis of partial performance equal to costs incurred, plus an estimate of applicable fees earned as the 
Company becomes contractually entitled to reimbursement of costs and the applicable fees. 

Cost-plus-award-fee/cost-plus-incentive-fee contracts—Revenues and fees on these contracts with the U.S. 
government are primarily recognized using the percentage-of-completion method of accounting, most often based 
on the cost-to-cost method. The Company includes an estimate of the ultimate incentive or award fee to be received 
on the contract in the estimate of contract revenues for purposes of applying the percentage-of-completion method 
of accounting. 

The Company also uses the efforts-expended method of percentage-of-completion accounting using measures such as 
labor dollars for measuring progress toward completion in situations in which this approach is more representative of 
contract progress. For example, the efforts-expended method is utilized when there are significant amounts of materials or 
hardware procured for the contract and the timing of these purchases is not representative of contract progress. 
Additionally, the Company utilizes the units-of-delivery method on contracts where separate units of output are produced. 
Under the units-of-delivery method, revenues are generally recognized when the units are delivered to the customer, 
provided that all other requirements for revenue recognition have been met. 

Revenues from services and maintenance contracts, notwithstanding contract type, are recognized over the term of the 
respective contracts as the services are performed and revenue is earned. Revenues from the sale of manufactured 
products are recorded on passage of title and risk of loss to the customer, which is generally on delivery. 

The Company evaluates its contracts for multiple elements, and when appropriate, separates the contracts into separate 
units of accounting for revenue recognition. 

The Company provides for anticipated losses on contracts by recording an expense, representing the total expected loss 
on the contract, during the period in which the losses are determined. Amounts billed and collected but not yet recognized 
as revenues under certain types of contracts are deferred. Contract costs incurred for U.S. government contracts, 
including indirect costs, are subject to audit and adjustment through negotiations between the Company and government 
representatives. Revenues on U.S. government contracts have been recorded in amounts that are expected to be 
realized on final settlement of indirect contract costs.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

Contract claims are unanticipated additional costs incurred but not provided for in the executed contract price that the 
Company seeks to recover from the customer. Such costs are expensed as incurred. Additional revenue related to 
contract claims is recognized when the amounts are awarded by the customer. In certain situations, primarily in which the 
Company is not the primary obligor on certain elements of a contract, the Company recognizes as revenue the net 
management fee associated with the services and excludes from its income statement the gross sales and costs 
associated with the facility or other vendors’ products. 

Changes in Estimates on Contracts 

Changes in estimates of revenues, cost of revenues, or profits related to contracts accounted for using the cost-to-cost 
percentage-of-completion method of accounting are recognized in operating income in the period in which such changes 
are made for the inception-to-date effect of the changes. If it is determined that a loss will result from the performance of a 
contract, the entire amount of the estimable future loss is charged against income in the period the loss is identifiable. 
Changes in these estimates can routinely occur over the contract performance period for a variety of reasons, including 
changes in contract scope, changes in contract cost estimates due to unanticipated cost growth or retirements of risk for 
amounts different than estimated, changes in estimated incentive or award fees and performance being better or worse 
than previously estimated.

The Company issues stock-based awards, including stock options, vesting stock awards and performance share awards, 
as compensation to employees and directors. These awards are accounted for as equity awards. The Company 
recognizes stock-based compensation expense net of estimated forfeitures on a straight-line basis over the underlying 
award’s requisite service period, as measured using the award’s grant date fair value. For performance share awards, the 
Company reassesses the probability of achieving the performance conditions at each reporting period and adjusts 
compensation expense based on the expected number of shares the Company expects to ultimately issue. Absent 
sufficient history as a stand-alone company the Company estimates forfeitures using former Parent’s historical experience. 

Separation Transaction and Restructuring Expenses 

During fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013, the Company incurred expenses in connection with the separation transaction. The 
Company took actions to reduce its real estate footprint by vacating facilities that were not necessary for its future 
requirements, which resulted in lease termination and facility consolidation expenses. Additionally, the Company obtained 
strategic advisory, legal and accounting and investment banking services in connection with the separation. The Company 
also reduced headcount in preparation for the separation, which resulted in severance costs. No separation or 
restructuring expenses were incurred during fiscal 2015.

The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method of accounting, which requires the 
recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences 
between the carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. Under this method, changes in tax rates and 
laws are recognized in income in the period such changes are enacted. The provision for federal, state, foreign and local 
income taxes is calculated on income before income taxes based on current tax law and includes the cumulative effect of 
any changes in tax rates from those used previously in determining deferred tax assets and liabilities. Such provision 
differs from the amounts currently payable because certain items of income and expense are recognized in different 
reporting periods for financial reporting purposes than for income tax purposes. Recording the provision for income taxes 
requires management to make significant judgments and estimates for matters whose ultimate resolution may not become 
known until the final resolution of an examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) or state agencies. Additionally, 
recording liabilities for uncertain tax positions involves significant judgment in evaluating the Company’s tax positions and 
developing the best estimate of the taxes ultimately expected to be paid. We include tax penalties and interest in income 
tax expense. 

The Company records net deferred tax assets to the extent it believes these assets will more likely than not be realized. In 
making such determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future 
reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent 
results of operations. If it is determined that the Company would be able to realize the deferred income tax assets in the 
future in excess of their net recorded amount or would no longer be able to realize the deferred income tax assets in the 
future as currently recorded, an adjustment would be made to the valuation allowance which would decrease or increase 
the provision for income taxes. 

The Company has also recognized liabilities for uncertain tax positions when it is more likely than not that a tax position 
will not be sustained upon examination and settlement with various taxing authorities. Liabilities for uncertain tax positions 
are measured based upon the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate 
settlement. 

Costs Allocated to Contracts 

The Company classifies indirect costs incurred within or allocated to its U.S. government customers as overhead 
(included in cost of revenues) or general and administrative expenses in the same manner as such costs are defined in 
the Company’s Disclosure Statements under U.S. government Cost Accounting Standards (CAS). 

Cash and Cash Equivalents 

Cash equivalents are comprised of cash in banks and highly liquid instruments, primarily consisting of investments in 
institutional money market funds which invest primarily in short-term debt securities. The Company does not invest in high 
yield or high risk securities. Cash in bank accounts at times may exceed federally insured limits. There are no restrictions 
on the withdrawal of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents.

SCIENCE APPLICATIONS INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

Receivables 

Receivables include both receivables billed to customers and unbilled receivables, which consist of costs and fees billable 
upon contract completion or the occurrence of a specified event. Substantially all of the Company’s unbilled receivables 
are expected to be billed and collected within one year and are stated at estimated realizable value. Since the Company’s 
receivables are primarily with the U.S. government, the Company does not have a material credit risk exposure. Contract 
retentions are billed when we have negotiated final indirect rates with the U.S. government and, once billed, are subject to 
audit and approval by government representatives. Consequently, the timing of collection of retention balances is outside 
the Company’s control. Based on historical experience, the majority of retention balances are expected to be collected 
beyond one year and write-offs of retention balances have not been significant.  Amounts deemed uncollectible are 
written off on determination of uncollectibility by management, and such balance is removed from billed receivables and 
allowance for doubtful accounts. 

Customer Concentration 

The Company’s revenues and receivables are concentrated with its principal customers, which are the various agencies 
of the U.S. government and customers engaged in work for the U.S. government. 

Inventory 

Inventory is substantially comprised of finished goods inventory and is valued at the lower of cost or estimated net 
realizable value. Finished goods inventory consists primarily of purchased finished goods for resale to customers, such as 
tires and lubricants. The Company evaluates current inventory against historical and planned usage to estimate the 
appropriate provision for obsolete inventory. 

Goodwill and Intangible Assets 

Goodwill is recorded as the difference, if any, between the aggregate consideration paid for an acquisition and the fair 
value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible 
assets are not amortized, but rather are tested for potential impairment annually at the beginning of the fourth quarter, or 
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. There were no 
acquisitions or impairments during the periods presented. 

The goodwill impairment test is a two-step process performed at the reporting unit level. Under the first step, the Company 
estimates the fair value of each reporting unit on a control basis using a market approach, based on multiples of earnings 
derived from observable market data of comparable public companies. The estimated fair value of each reporting unit is 
compared with its respective carrying value including goodwill. If the fair value is less than the carrying value, a second 
step is performed to calculate the amount of impairment expense, which is equal to the difference between the reporting 
unit’s carrying amount of goodwill and its implied fair value of goodwill. The implied fair value of the reporting unit’s 
goodwill is the difference between the fair value of a reporting unit, as calculated in step one, and the reporting unit’s 
carrying value excluding goodwill.  

Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized using the method that best reflects how their economic benefits are utilized 
or, if a pattern of economic benefits cannot be reliably determined, on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful 
lives. Intangible assets with finite lives are assessed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances 
indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Intangible assets were $2 million (net of accumulated 
amortization of $33 million) and $4 million (net of accumulated amortization of $42 million) for fiscal 2015 and fiscal 2014, 
respectively. The annual amortization expense related to existing intangible assets subsequent to January 30, 2015 is 
expected to be $1 million in each of the next two fiscal years. 

F-11 

 
 
 
 
SCIENCE APPLICATIONS INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

Impairment of Long-lived Assets 

The Company evaluates its long-lived assets for potential impairment whenever there is evidence that events or changes 
in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable and the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its 
estimated future undiscounted cash flows. When the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its estimated future 
undiscounted cash flows, an impairment loss is recognized to reduce the asset’s carrying amount to its estimated fair 
value based on the present value of its estimated future cash flows. 

Commitments and Contingencies 

Accruals for commitments and loss contingencies are recorded when it is both probable that they will occur and the 
amounts can be reasonably estimated. In addition, legal fees are accrued for cases where a loss is probable and the 
related fees can be reasonably estimated. Significant judgment is required to determine both probability and the estimated 
amount of loss. The Company reviews these accruals quarterly and adjusts the accruals to reflect the impact of 
negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel and other updated information. 

Derivative Instruments Designated as Cash Flow Hedges 

Derivative instruments are recorded on the consolidated balance sheets at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on 
derivatives designated as cash flow hedges are reported in other comprehensive (loss) income and reclassified to 
earnings in a manner that matches the timing of the earnings impact of the hedged transactions. The ineffective portion of 
all hedges, if any, is recognized immediately in earnings. 

The Company’s fixed interest rate swaps are considered over-the-counter derivatives, and fair value is calculated using a 
standard pricing model for interest rate swaps with contractual terms for maturities, amortization and interest rates. Level 
2, or market observable inputs, such as yield and credit curves are used within the standard pricing models in order to 
determine fair value. The fair value is an estimate of the amount that the Company would pay or receive as of a 
measurement date if the agreements were transferred to a third party or canceled. See Note 9 for further discussion on 
the Company’s derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges. 

Fair Value Measurements 

The Company utilizes fair value measurement guidance prescribed by GAAP to value its financial instruments. The 
accounting standard for fair value measurements establishes a three-tier value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used 
in measuring fair value as follows: observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets (Level 1); inputs other than 
the quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly (Level 2); and unobservable inputs in 
which there is little or no market data, which requires the Company to develop its own assumptions (Level 3). 

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and other amounts included in other 
current assets and current liabilities that meet the definition of a financial instrument approximate fair value because of the 
short-term nature of these amounts. The fair value of the Company’s outstanding debt obligations approximates its 
carrying value. The fair value of long-term debt is calculated using Level 2 inputs, based on interest rates available for 
debt with terms and maturities similar to the Company’s existing debt arrangements. 

Operating Cycle 

The Company’s operating cycle for long-term contracts may be greater than one year and is measured by the average 
time intervening between the inception and the completion of those contracts. Contract-related assets and liabilities are 
classified as current assets and current liabilities.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

Research and Development 

The Company conducts research and development activities under customer-funded contracts and with company-funded 
independent research and development (IR&D) funds. IR&D efforts consist of projects involving basic research, applied 
research, development, and systems and other concept formulation studies. Company-funded IR&D expense is included 
in selling, general and administrative expenses and is generally allocated among all contracts and programs in progress 
under contractual obligations with the U.S. government. Company-funded IR&D expense was $5 million, $4 million and $3 
million in fiscal 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Customer-funded research and development activities performed 
under customer contracts are charged directly to cost of revenues for those particular contracts. 

Accounting Standards Updates Issued But Not Yet Adopted 

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, 
Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in 
Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Section 605, Revenue Recognition and some cost guidance included in ASC 
Subtopic 605-35, Revenue Recognition – Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts. This ASU is based on the 
principle that revenue is recognized to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers at an amount that reflects the 
consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The ASU also requires 
additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer 
contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments, and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain 
or fulfill a contract. The ASU will become effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2018, using one 
of two retrospective methods of adoption. The Company has not selected a method for adoption nor determined the 
potential effects on its financial statements. 

Other ASUs effective after January 30, 2015 are not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial 
statements. 

Note 2—Earnings Per Share (EPS), Share Repurchases and Dividends 

EPS 

Basic EPS is computed by dividing income by the basic weighted average number of shares outstanding. Diluted EPS is 
computed similarly to basic EPS, except the weighted average number of shares outstanding is increased to include the 
dilutive effect of outstanding stock options and other stock-based awards. 

For periods prior to the separation, basic EPS was calculated using 48.6 million shares of the Company’s common stock 
that were distributed to former Parent shareholders upon separation. Diluted EPS for the periods prior to the separation 
was calculated using 49.7 million shares, which included 1.1 million of diluted common share equivalents for stock options 
and other stock-based awards (consistent with the number calculated immediately following separation) as these stock-
based awards were previously issued by former Parent and outstanding at the time of separation and were assumed by 
the Company following the separation. 

A reconciliation of the weighted average number of shares outstanding used to compute basic and diluted EPS for the 
periods presented was:  

Basic weighted-average number of shares outstanding

The Company may occasionally repurchase shares in accordance with established repurchase plans. The Company 
retires its common stock upon repurchase with the excess over par value allocated to additional paid-in capital. The 
Company has not made any material purchases of common stock other than in connection with established share 
repurchase plans. The Company may repurchase up to 5 million shares of Company stock under the Company’s current 
repurchase plan, previously announced in October 2013. As of January 30, 2015, the Company has repurchased 
approximately 3.5 million shares of common stock under the plan. 

Dividends 

The Company has declared and paid quarterly dividends of $0.28 per share, starting in the third quarter of fiscal 2014, 
totaling $1.12 per share during fiscal 2015, and $0.56 per share during fiscal 2014. 

On March 25, 2015, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.28 per share of the Company’s 
common stock payable on April 30, 2015 to stockholders of record on April 15, 2015. 

Note 3—Plant, Property and Equipment: 

Property, plant, and equipment are carried at cost net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. Purchases of 
property, plant and equipment as well as costs associated with major renewals and betterments are capitalized. 
Maintenance, repairs and minor renewals and betterments are expensed as incurred. When assets are sold or otherwise 
disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation or amortization are removed from the accounts and any 
resulting gain or loss is recognized. Depreciation and amortization is recognized using the methods and estimated useful

Note 4—Transactions with Former Parent: 

Allocation of Corporate Expenses 

The consolidated and combined statements of income and comprehensive income for fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013 reflect 
allocations of general corporate expenses from former Parent including, but not limited to, costs associated with executive 
management, finance, legal, IT, human resources, employee benefits administration, treasury, risk management, 
procurement and other shared services. Allocations for general corporate expenses (including management costs and 
corporate support services provided to the Company) totaled $104 million for fiscal 2014 and $154 million for fiscal 2013. 

The allocations were made on a direct usage basis when identifiable, with the remainder allocated on the basis of costs 
incurred, headcount or other appropriate measures. Management considers these allocations to be a reasonable 
reflection of the utilization of services by, or the benefits provided to the Company. The allocations may not, however, 
reflect the expense the Company would have incurred as a stand-alone company prior to the separation. Actual costs that 
may have been incurred if the Company had been a stand-alone company would depend on a number of factors, 
including the chosen organizational structure, what functions were outsourced or performed by employees and strategic 
decisions made in areas such as IT and infrastructure. 

Net Transfers to Former Parent 

Former Parent used a centralized approach to cash management and the financing of its operations. Prior to the 
separation, transactions between the Company and former Parent were considered to be effectively settled for cash at the 
time the transaction was recorded. The net effect of these transactions is included in the consolidated and combined 
statement of cash flows as Net transfers to former Parent. 

A reconciliation of Net transfers to former Parent in the consolidated and combined statements of equity to the 
corresponding amount presented on the consolidated and combined statements of cash flows for the periods presented 
was:

Revenues and Cost of Revenues Performed by Former Parent 

As a part of former Parent, the Company entered into contracts jointly with former Parent and continues to be a party to 
contracts jointly performed by the Company and former Parent following the separation. These transactions are recorded 
at revenue equal to cost to reflect that no additional profit is charged to the customer for work performed by former Parent 
and are presented separately in the consolidated and combined statements of income and comprehensive income. 

Net Transfers of Plant, Property, and Equipment from Former Parent 

In connection with the separation, former Parent transferred to the Company certain equipment necessary to operate its 
internal IT systems. 

Note 5—Stock-Based Compensation: 

Plan Summaries 

During fiscal 2015, certain of the Company’s employees participated in the following four stock-based compensation 
plans: “2013 Equity Incentive Plan” (EIP), “Management Compensation Plan,”  “Stock Compensation Plan,” and 
“Employee Stock Purchase Plan” (ESPP) which are herein referred to together as the “Plans.” The Company issues new 
shares upon the vesting of stock awards or exercise of stock options under these Plans. 

The EIP provides the Company’s employees and directors the opportunity to receive various types of stock-based 
compensation and cash awards. The terms of the stock-based awards granted to employees and directors are the same, 
except that directors cliff vest within one year of the grant date. As of January 30, 2015, the Company has outstanding 
stock options, vested and vesting stock awards, performance share awards and cash awards under this plan. Vesting 
stock awards and stock options granted under the EIP prior to fiscal 2015 generally vest or become exercisable 20%, 
20%, 20%, and 40% after one, two, three and four years, respectively. Stock options granted under the EIP in fiscal 2015 
generally become exercisable 33%, 33% and 33% after one, two and three years, respectively, while vesting stock 
awards granted in fiscal 2015 generally vest 25%, 25%, 25% and 25% after one, two, three and four years, respectively. 
The maximum contractual term for stock options granted under the EIP is ten years, but historically the Company has 
granted stock options with a seven year contractual term. Vesting may be accelerated for employees meeting retirement 
eligibility conditions. Stock-based awards generally provide for accelerated vesting if there is a change in control (as 
defined in the EIP). Vesting stock awards and performance share awards have forfeitable rights to dividends. In June 
2014, the EIP was amended and restated to increase the total authorized shares of common stock for issuance under the 
EIP from 5.7 million to 8.5 million. 

The Company grants performance-based stock awards to certain officers and key employees under the EIP. Performance 
shares are rights to receive shares of the Company’s stock on the satisfaction of service requirements and performance 
conditions. These awards cliff vest on the third anniversary of the grant date, subject to meeting the minimum service 
requirements and the achievement of certain annual and cumulative financial metrics of the Company’s performance, with 
the number of shares ultimately issued, if any, ranging up to 150% of the specified target shares. If performance is below 
the minimum threshold level of performance, no shares will be issued. For performance share awards granted in fiscal 
2015, the annual and cumulative financial metrics of the Company’s performance is based on operating cash flows and 
operating income, respectively.  

The Company has a Management Stock Compensation Plan and a Stock Compensation Plan, together referred to as the 
“Stock Compensation Plans”. The Board of Directors may at any time amend or terminate the Stock Compensation Plans. 
The Stock Compensation Plans provide for awards in share units to eligible employees. Benefits from these plans are 
payable in shares of the Company’s stock that are held in a trust for the purpose of funding benefit payments to the  
participants. Compensation expense is generally recognized over the vesting period of four years and vest 100% after 
four years following the date of the award. The Stock Compensation Plans permit a vesting period up to 7 years after the 
date of grant. Upon a change in control of the Company (as defined by the Stock Compensation Plans), participant 
accounts will become fully vested and shares of the stock held in the accounts will be immediately distributed. The Stock 
Compensation Plans do not provide for a maximum number of shares available for future issuance.

SCIENCE APPLICATIONS INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

At separation, all unvested stock awards and all outstanding stock options held by the Company’s employees and 
directors under former Parent’s plans converted into awards under the Plans. This conversion was designed to maintain 
the same intrinsic value of the awards immediately before and after the separation. The converted awards have 
substantially the same terms and conditions as immediately before the separation under former Parent’s plans. 
Unrecognized compensation expense as of the separation date related to the converted awards will be recognized by the 
Company over the remaining vesting periods of the awards. 

The Company’s ESPP allows eligible employees to purchase shares of the Company’s stock at a discount of up to 15% of 
the fair market value on the date of purchase. During the three years ended January 30, 2015, the discount was 5% of the 
fair market value on the date of purchase for purchases made under the Company’s ESPP (or under former Parent’s 
ESPP prior to the separation), thereby resulting in the ESPP being non-compensatory. As of January 30, 2015, 2 million 
shares of the Company’s stock are authorized for issuance under the ESPP.

Prior to the separation, certain Company employees and directors participated in stock-based compensation plans 
sponsored by former Parent that were denominated in former Parent’s common shares. Since the Company’s employees 
directly benefited from participation in these plans and former Parent’s corporate employees receiving such awards 
provided management and corporate support services to the Company, stock-based compensation expense was 
allocated to the Company in accordance with former Parent’s Disclosure Statements under U.S. government CAS or 
another systematic basis. 

Stock Options 

Stock options are granted with their exercise price equal to the closing market price of the Company’s stock on the last 
trading day preceding the grant date, except for those stock options outstanding as of September 27, 2013, for which the

The fair value of stock option awards granted prior to the separation under former Parent’s plan were valued using the 
Black-Scholes option-pricing model based on the following assumptions: 

Expected Term—The expected term is derived from former Parent’s historical experience. 

Expected Volatility—The expected volatility is based on an average of the historical volatility of former Parent’s 
common stock and the implied volatility from traded options on former Parent’s common stock. 

Risk-Free Interest Rate—The risk-free interest rate is based on the yield curve of a zero-coupon U.S. Treasury bond 
with a maturity equal to the expected term of the stock option on the date of grant. 

Dividend Yield—The dividend yield is based on former Parent’s historical dividend yield level. 

The fair value of stock option awards granted subsequent to the separation and during fiscal 2015 under the Company’s 
plan were valued using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model based on the following assumptions: 

Expected Term—The expected term is calculated using the U.S. Security and Exchange Commission’s “simplified 
method” as the midpoint between the vesting term and contractual term. 

Expected Volatility—The expected volatility is based on a leverage-adjusted daily average volatility of the 
Company’s peer group companies over a period consistent with the expected term. Peer group companies were 
selected from companies within the Company’s industry that most closely match the Company’s business, including 
size, capital structure and customer base. 

Risk-Free Interest Rate—The risk-free interest rate is based on the yield curve of a zero-coupon U.S. Treasury bond 
with a maturity equal to the expected term of the stock option on the date of grant. 

Dividend Yield—The dividend yield assumed over the expected term of the option is based on the announced 
dividend as of the grant date and the three month average stock price as of the grant date.

(a)  The weighted average grant date fair values of stock options granted by former Parent prior to June 12, 2013, were adjusted to 
reflect former Parent’s stock option modification for a special dividend. The modification decreased the per share grant date fair 
value but increased the number of stock options held by the option-holder to preserve the value of the options immediately before 
and after the special dividend. There was no incremental compensation expense resulting from this modification.

fiscal 2013 was $38.16, $30.69 and $13.13, respectively. As of January 30, 2015 there was $36 million of unrecognized 
compensation cost, net of estimated forfeitures, related to vesting stock awards, which is expected to be recognized over 
a weighted average period of 1.6 years. The fair value of vesting stock awards that vested in fiscal 2015, fiscal 2014 and 
fiscal 2013 was $33 million, $18 million and $19 million, respectively. 

Performance Share Awards 

During fiscal 2015, the Company granted 0.2 million performance share awards at target with a weighted average grant 
date fair value of $38.77. The actual number of shares to be issued upon vesting range between 0-150% of the target 
number of shares granted. For those awards outstanding as of January 30, 2015 the Company expects to issue 0.1 
million shares of stock in the future based on estimated future achievement of the targeted performance goals. The grant 
date fair value of performance share awards is based on the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on the 
last trading day preceding the grant date. As of January 30, 2015 there was $2.6 million of unrecognized compensation 
cost, net of estimated forfeitures, related to performance share awards, which is expected to be recognized over a

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

This plan allows eligible participants to contribute a portion of their income through payroll deductions and the Company 
may also make discretionary contributions. The Company contributions expensed for defined contribution plans were $34 
million, $46 million and $52 million in fiscal 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. 

Deferred Compensation Plans 

The Company has established the Science Applications International Corporation Deferred Compensation Plan (DCP), 
effective January 1, 2015, providing certain eligible employees and directors an opportunity to defer some or all of their 
compensation on an unfunded, nonqualified basis. Participant deferrals are fully vested and diversified at the participant’s 
direction among the investment options offered under the DCP, which options include the Company’s stock. Participant 
accounts will be credited with a rate of return based on the performance of the investment options selected. Investment 
allocations into the Company’s stock cannot be subsequently reallocated into other investment options and distributions 
will be made in shares of the Company’s stock. Distributions from all other investment options will be made in cash. 
Deferred balances will generally be paid upon retirement based upon the participant’s payout election or termination. The 
Company may provide discretionary contributions to participants, but no Company contributions have been made. 

The Company maintains two deferred compensation plans, the Keystaff Deferral Plan (KDP) and the Key Executive Stock 
Deferral Plan (KESDP) for the benefit of certain management or highly compensated employees or directors and allows 
eligible participants to elect to defer all or a portion of their annual bonus, sign-on bonus or certain other bonuses. 
Directors may also elect to defer their director fees. The Company makes no contributions to the KDP but maintains 
participant accounts for deferred amounts and interest earned. Interest is accrued based on the Moody’s Seasoned 
Corporate Bond Rate less 1% (3.17% during fiscal 2015). Deferred balances are generally paid upon termination.  Under 
the KESDP, eligible participants may elect to defer in share units all or a portion of their bonus awards granted under the 
2013 Equity Incentive Plan (see Note 5). The Company makes no contributions to the accounts of KESDP participants. 
Benefits from the KESDP are payable in shares of the Company’s stock that may be held in a trust for the purpose of 
funding benefit payments to KESDP participants. Deferred balances will generally be paid upon retirement, based upon 
the participant’s payout election, or termination. Effective January 1, 2015, the KDP and KESDP were frozen, prohibiting 
any further deferrals of compensation earned on or after January 1, 2015. 

The Company also sponsors a 401(k) Excess Deferral Plan (Excess Plan) for the benefit of certain management or highly 
compensated employees that allows participants to elect to defer up to 20% of their eligible salary once the participant 
has met the contribution limit imposed on the Science Applications International Corporation Retirement Plan. The 
Company makes matching contributions to participants who have received a reduced Company contribution in the 
Science Applications International Corporation Retirement Plan due to the participant’s deferral of salary into the Excess 
Plan. Effective January 1, 2015, the Excess Plan was frozen prohibiting any further deferrals or Company contributions on 
or after January 1, 2015. 

Note 7—Income Taxes: 

Prior to separation from former Parent, the Company’s operations were included in former Parent’s U.S. federal and state 
income tax returns and all income taxes were paid by former Parent. For periods prior to separation, income taxes are 
presented on a separate tax return basis as if the Company filed its own tax returns. Income tax liabilities through the date 
of separation are assumed to be immediately settled with former Parent against the former Parent company investment 
account.

The effective income tax rate for fiscal 2015 is higher than fiscal 2014 primarily due to a higher research and development 
tax credit in fiscal 2014. The lower effective income tax rate for fiscal 2013, when compared to fiscal 2014, was primarily 
due to a favorable settlement related to a prior year legal reserve.

During the third quarter of fiscal 2015, in connection with finalizing the fiscal 2014 tax return, the Company adjusted its 
estimate of the allocation of certain tax deductible expenses between the pre-separation and post-separation time periods 
for fiscal 2014. This resulted in an adjustment to income taxes payable. As this adjustment was related to pre-separation 
activity, the offset of the $4 million adjustment was recorded through additional paid-in capital in the consolidated and 
combined statements of equity. 

The Company is not responsible for any tax items on operations before the separation on September 27, 2013. 

The changes in the unrecognized tax benefits, excluding accrued interest and penalties, were: 

Unrecognized tax benefits at beginning of the year 
Additions for tax positions related to prior years 
Reductions for tax positions as a result of spin-off 
Settlements with tax authorities 

Unrecognized tax benefits at end of the year 
Unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the effective income
     tax rate

In fiscal 2015, the Company does not have any unrecognized tax benefits. In fiscal 2014, the Company’s unrecognized 
tax benefits decreased due to the separation from former Parent. Tax liabilities prior to the separation are the 
responsibility of former Parent. 

For the periods presented, there was not a significant amount of accrued interest and penalties recognized in the 
consolidated and combined balance sheets and statements of income and comprehensive income. Tax interest and tax 
penalties, if any, would be included in income tax expense. 

Beginning with fiscal 2014, the Company filed income tax returns in the U.S. and various state jurisdictions, which may be 
subject to routine compliance reviews by the IRS and other taxing authorities. While the Company believes it has 
adequate accruals for uncertain tax positions, the tax authorities may determine that the Company owes taxes in excess 
of recorded accruals or the recorded accruals may be in excess of the final settlement amounts agreed to by tax 
authorities. The Company’s fiscal year 2014 tax return remains subject to examination by the U.S. Internal Revenue 
Service.  

Note 8—Debt Obligations: 

The Company has a $700 million credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) between the Company, as borrower, and 
Citibank, N.A. (“Citibank”), as administrative agent. The Credit Agreement consists of (i) a five-year unsecured revolving 
credit facility in an initial aggregate borrowing capacity of $200 million (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) and (ii) a five-year 
unsecured term facility with an initial aggregate principal amount of $500 million (the “Term Loan Facility” and, together 
with the Revolving Credit Facility, the “Credit Facilities”). The Term Loan Facility was funded in September 2013. The 
Revolving Credit Facility capacity is available to the Company but no draws have been made.

SCIENCE APPLICATIONS INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

Borrowings under the Credit Facilities bear interest at a variable rate of interest based on 1-month LIBOR (or, in the case 
of borrowings in Euro, EURIBOR) or Citibank’s base rate plus the applicable interest rate margin. The Company’s 
effective interest rate on borrowings under the Term Loan Facility as of January 30, 2015 was 1.94%. Interest rate 
margins with respect to borrowings under the Credit Agreement range from 1.50% to 2.75% for LIBOR or EURIBOR 
loans, and 0.50% to 1.75% for base rate loans. The Company also pays a commitment fee with respect to undrawn 
amounts under the Revolving Credit Facility ranging from 0.25% to 0.50%. The margin and commitment fees will vary 
based on the Company’s leverage ratio. 

Monthly interest payments began in October 2013 and quarterly principal payments began in October 2014. Borrowings 
under the Credit Facilities must be repaid in full by September 2018. 

The Credit Agreement contains certain restrictive covenants applicable to the Company and its subsidiaries, which include 
limitations on the ability to merge or consolidate with other entities, property sale and lease-back transactions and 
dividend and stock repurchases under certain leverage ratios. 

The Credit Agreement also includes certain financial covenants, which require the maintenance of a Leverage Ratio (as 
defined in the Credit Agreement) of not greater than 3.25 to 1.00 and an Interest Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit 
Agreement) of at least 3.50 to 1.00. 

The Credit Agreement also contains certain customary events of default, including, among others, defaults based on 
certain bankruptcy and insolvency events, nonpayment, cross-defaults to other debt, breach of specified covenants, 
ERISA events, material monetary judgments, change of control events and the material inaccuracy of the Company’s 
representations and warranties. If an event of default occurs and is continuing under the Credit Facilities, the Credit 
Agreement provides that the administrative agent shall at the request of the required lenders or may with the consent of 
the required lenders terminate the commitments thereunder, declare amounts outstanding (including principal and 
accrued interest and fees) payable immediately, and enforce any and all rights and interests. As of January 30, 2015, the 
Company was in compliance with the covenants under the Credit Facilities. 

On March 17, 2015, the Company amended and restated the Credit Agreement (see Note 15).

Note 9—Derivative Instruments Designated as Cash Flow Hedges: 

The Company is party to fixed interest rate swap instruments, designated and accounted for as cash flow hedges, to 
manage risks associated with interest rate fluctuations on its floating rate debt. The Company’s fixed interest rate swaps 
aggregate to the same notional amount and tenor as its Term Loan Facility. These instruments are used to hedge the 
variability in interest payment cash flows caused by changes in the 1-month LIBOR benchmark interest rate on the 
variable rate Term Loan Facility (see Note 1 for accounting policy). Under the swap agreements, the Company pays a 
fixed rate of 1.41% and the counterparties to the agreement pay a floating interest rate based on 1-month LIBOR, for 
which measurement and settlement is performed monthly. The counterparties to these agreements are financial 
institutions.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

As of January 30, 2015 and January 31, 2014, the fair value of the fixed interest rate swaps was $8 million and $3 million, 
respectively, which is included in other accrued liabilities. The effective portion of the unrealized change in fair value, net 
of tax, for fiscal 2015 and fiscal 2014 was a loss of $3 million and $2 million, respectively, which are reported in other 
comprehensive loss, net of tax. There was no ineffectiveness during fiscal 2015 or fiscal 2014. The amounts discussed 
above are also referenced in Note 10. The Company estimates that it will reclassify $5 million of unrealized losses from 
accumulated other comprehensive loss into earnings in the twelve months following January 30, 2015.

Note 11—Operating Leases: 

The Company occupies most of its facilities under operating leases. Most of the leases require the Company to pay 
maintenance and operating expenses such as taxes, insurance, and utilities and also contain renewal options to extend 
the lease and provisions for periodic rate escalations to reflect inflationary increases. Certain equipment is leased under 
short-term or cancelable operating leases. Rental expense for facilities and equipment was $41 million, $39 million and 
$36 million in fiscal 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Note 12—Business Segment Information: 

The Company defines its operating segments based on the way the chief operating decision maker, currently its chief 
executive officer, manages the operations of the Company for purposes of allocating resources and assessing 
performance. The Company’s operating segments are aggregated into one reportable segment because they have similar 
economic characteristics and meet the other aggregation criteria within the accounting standard on segment reporting, 
including similarities in the nature of the services provided, methods of service delivery, customers served and the 
regulatory environment in which they operate. 

Substantially all of the Company’s revenues and tangible long-lived assets are generated by or owned by entities located 
in the United States. As such, financial information by geographic location is not presented. 

The Company’s total revenues are largely attributable to prime contracts with the U.S. government or to subcontracts with 
other contractors engaged in work for the U.S. government.  

The percentages of total revenues for the U.S. government, its agencies and other customers, including those comprising 
more than 10% of total revenues for each of the three years ended January 30, 2015 were:

Note 13—Legal Proceedings and Commitments and Contingencies: 

Legal Proceedings 

The Company is involved in various claims and lawsuits arising in the normal conduct of its business, none of which the 
Company’s management believes, based upon current information, is expected to have a material adverse effect on the 
Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. 

Agreements with Former Parent 

Former Parent and the Company executed various agreements to provide mechanisms for an orderly transition and to 
govern certain ongoing relationships between the companies following the separation. The agreements include the 
Distribution Agreement, Employee Matters Agreement, Tax Matters Agreement, Master Transition Services Agreement, 
and Master Transitional Contracting Agreement (MTCA). These agreements generally provide that each party is 
responsible for its respective assets, liabilities and obligations, including employee benefits, insurance and tax-related 
assets and liabilities. 

Contingent losses that were unknown at the time of separation and arise from the operation of the Company’s historical 
business or former Parent’s corporate losses will be shared between the parties to the extent that losses in any such 
category exceed $50 million in the aggregate. If they arise and exceed the $50 million threshold, the Company will be 
responsible for 30% of former Parent’s incremental contingent losses on corporate claims (and former Parent will be 
responsible for 70% of the Company’s incremental losses on claims relating to operations that exceed $50 million).

SCIENCE APPLICATIONS INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

In accordance with the MTCA, former Parent agreed to seek the U.S. government’s approval to novate all of the contracts 
under which the Company is obligated to fulfil the remaining terms. In July 2014, the government signed an agreement 
authorizing the novation of these contracts from former Parent to the Company. The Company is in the process of 
completing the administrative tasks relating to the novation process of those contracts and contract vehicles. The MTCA 
also governs the relationship between the Company and former Parent with regard to the treatment of contracts, 
proposals, and teaming arrangements where both companies are or will be jointly performing work after separation. Each 
of the Company and former Parent indemnify the other party for work performed by it under the MTCA. 

Government Investigations, Audits and Reviews 

The Company is routinely subject to investigations and reviews relating to compliance with various laws and regulations 
with respect, in particular, to its role as a contractor to federal, state and local government customers and in connection 
with performing services in countries outside of the United States. U.S. government agencies, including the Defense 
Contract Audit Agency, the Defense Contract Management Agency and others, routinely audit and review a contractor’s 
performance on government contracts, indirect rates and pricing practices, and compliance with applicable contracting 
and procurement laws, regulations and standards. They also review the adequacy of the contractor’s compliance with 
government standards for its business systems. Adverse findings in these investigations, audits, or reviews can lead to 
criminal, civil or administrative proceedings, and the Company could face disallowance of previously billed costs, 
penalties, fines, compensatory damages and suspension or debarment from doing business with governmental agencies.  

Adverse findings could also have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial position, results of 
operations and cash flows due to its reliance on government contracts. Both contractors and the U.S. government 
agencies conducting these audits and reviews have come under increased scrutiny. 

The Company has recorded reserves for estimated net amounts to be refunded to customers for potential adjustments for 
indirect cost audits and compliance with U.S. government CAS for fiscal 2006 through 2015, which include indemnification 
obligations owing to former Parent upon separation for periods prior to the Distribution Date. As of January 30, 2015, the 
Company has recorded a total liability of $17 million for estimated net amounts to be refunded to customers for potential 
adjustments from such audits of contract costs. Any additional amounts which may be determined to be owed for periods 
prior to the separation will be allocated to former Parent and the Company in proportions determined in accordance with 
the Distribution Agreement. 

Timekeeping Contract with City of New York 

In March 2012, in connection with the resolution of certain investigations related to an automated time and attendance 
and workforce management system (CityTime) that former Parent developed and implemented for certain New York City 
agencies, former Parent entered into a three year deferred prosecution agreement (DPA) with the U.S. Attorney’s Office 
for the Southern District of New York. Under the terms of the DPA, the U.S. Attorney’s Office deferred prosecution of a 
single criminal count against former Parent.  The Company understands that, based on public disclosures made by former 
Parent, it fully satisfied the requirements of the DPA during the agreement’s three-year term, and the DPA expired on 
March 14, 2015.  As a result, the U.S. Attorney’s Office filed an application with the Court to dispose of the charge that 
was filed against former Parent. On March 16, 2015, the Court entered an order disposing of the pending charge against 
former Parent. Although the Company was not subject to the DPA, it previously had complied with applicable compliance 
provisions of the DPA.  Following expiration of the DPA, the compliance provisions under the DPA also terminated.   

In August 2012, former Parent entered into an administrative agreement with the U.S. Army on behalf of all agencies of 
the U.S. government that confirms its continuing eligibility to enter into and perform contracts with the U.S. government. 
Under the terms of the administrative agreement, former Parent has agreed, among other things, to maintain a contractor 
responsibility program having the specific elements described in the administrative agreement, including retaining a 
monitor and providing certain reports to the U.S. Army. The administrative agreement will continue in effect for five years, 
or until August 2017, but former Parent may request earlier termination following completion of three years, or until August 
2015. The Company notified the U.S. Army that it will comply with the obligations set forth in the administrative agreement 
following the separation. These obligations include retaining an independent monitor and maintaining a similar contractor 
responsibility program.

Army Brigade Combat Team Modernization Engineering, Manufacturing and Development (BCTM) Program 

The BCTM program was terminated for convenience by the Department of Defense (DoD) effective in September 2011. 
From October 2009 through termination, the Company and its prime contractor performed on this program under an 
undefinitized change order with a provisional billing rate that allowed the Company to receive a lesser amount of the 
projected fee than the estimated fee due until completion of contract negotiations. The Company has recognized 
revenues of approximately $480 million, including estimated fees, from October 2009 through August 2013 under the 
undefinitized change order. During fiscal 2013, an agreement in principle was reached between the prime contractor and 
the DoD; however a formal contract modification has not yet been received. The Company had an outstanding receivable 
of approximately $2 million on this contract as of January 30, 2015. 

Letters of Credit and Surety Bonds 

The Company has outstanding obligations relating to letters of credit of $7 million as of January 30, 2015, principally 
related to guarantees on insurance policies. The Company also has outstanding obligations relating to surety bonds in the 
amount of $11 million, principally related to performance and payment bonds on the Company’s contracts. The letters of 
credit and surety bonds initially were obtained by former Parent and the Company is required to satisfy these obligations 
under the terms of the Distribution Agreement.

were distributed to former Parent shareholders upon separation and diluted EPS was calculated using the number of diluted 
common share equivalents for stock options and other stock-based awards (consistent with the number calculated immediately 
following separation). See Note 2 for additional information related to the Company’s EPS calculations. For periods prior to the 
separation EPS amounts may differ from pro forma amounts previously disclosed which were calculated based on an estimated

Note 15—Subsequent Events 

Agreement to Acquire Scitor 

On March 1, 2015, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to acquire privately held Scitor Holdings, Inc. (Scitor), 
a market leading provider of services primarily to the intelligence community, for an all-cash purchase price of $790 
million, subject to adjustment. The Company intends to fund the transaction from increased borrowings and cash on hand. 
The Company has secured a firm financing commitment and expects to put in place permanent financing in the form of a 
term loan prior to closing. The transaction is expected to close in the second quarter of fiscal 2016, subject to clearance 
under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act and other customary closing conditions. 

Amended Credit Agreement 

On March 17, 2015, the Company entered into an Amended & Restated Credit Agreement (Amended Credit Agreement), 
in anticipation of the planned acquisition of Scitor. The Amended Credit Agreement, among other things, provides for and 
permits the Company to incur approximately $670 million of additional secured debt to finance the planned acquisition of 
Scitor (New Credit Facility). 

Upon closing of the New Credit Facility, the existing Credit Facilities will convert from unsecured to secured facilities.  The 
Amended Credit Agreement requires, until the effectiveness of the New Credit Facility, maintenance of the existing 
Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) of not greater than 3.25 to 1.00 and Interest Coverage 
Ratio (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) of at least 3.50 to 1.00.  Upon the closing of the New Credit Facility, 
the Company will become subject to the maintenance of a Senior Secured Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Amended 
Credit Agreement) of not greater than 4.00 to 1.00 until July 31, 2016, and not greater than 3.75 to 1.00 thereafter and the 
Company will become subject to an annual mandatory prepayment as a portion of its Excess Cash Flow (as defined in the 
Amended Credit Agreement).  There are no changes to the existing maturities of outstanding principal as a result of the 
amended and restated agreement.
