HERNDON, Va., Nov. 02, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ManTech International Corporation (Nasdaq: MANT), a leading provider of innovative technologies and solutions for mission-critical national security programs, today announced financial results for the third quarter of fiscal year 2021, which ended September 30, 2021.

"In the third quarter, we delivered strong profitability and robust cash flow. However, we experienced revenue growth below expectations during the quarter as we continue to navigate a complex industry operating environment over the near term. The fundamental drivers for our long-term growth remain favorable and we are focused on leveraging our differentiated portfolio and capabilities to convert on our pipeline. We are pleased to deploy capital to create shareholder value. The acquisition of Gryphon Technologies further strengthens our long-term competitive position, adding differentiated digital and systems engineering capabilities across the Department of Defense," said ManTech Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President Kevin M. Phillips.

As of September 30, 2021, the Company had $145.4 million in cash and cash equivalents and no outstanding borrowings under its revolving-credit facility and delayed draw term loan facility.

Forward Guidance

The Company is adjusting the range of its 2021 guidance for revenue, adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share as specified in the table below.

*Information about ManTech's use of non-GAAP financial measures is provided under "Non-GAAP Financial Measures"

Adjusted net income and adjusted diluted EPS exclude amortization of acquired intangibles and the related tax impact. The Company does not provide a reconciliation of forward-looking adjusted net income and adjusted diluted EPS, due to inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying these non-GAAP exclusions that are necessary for such reconciliation without unreasonable efforts. Material changes to any one of these items could have significant effect on future GAAP results.

ManTech Chief Financial Officer Judith L. Bjornaas said, "Our continued execution has led to strong profitability that is reflected in our revised guidance for the remainder of the year. Despite our changes to revenue guidance, we remain optimistic about ManTech’s opportunity to drive long-term growth. We are also pleased with our ability to deploy capital and remain focused on utilizing our balance sheet to further strengthen our portfolio strategically."

Non-GAAP Financial Measures (Unaudited)

To supplement the review of ManTech's consolidated financial statements presented on a GAAP basis, the Company has provided non-GAAP calculations of certain financial measures. ManTech uses and refers to EBITDA, EBITDA margin, adjusted net income and adjusted EPS, all of which are non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the comparable GAAP measures.

ManTech’s management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide additional useful information regarding the Company’s operational and financial results. These non-GAAP financial measures eliminate the effect of non-cash items such as depreciation of tangible assets and amortization of intangible assets primarily recognized in business combinations as well as the effect of discrete tax items which we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance. These non-GAAP financial measures are considered important and frequently utilized by investors and financial analysts covering ManTech’s industry. The Company’s computation of its non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies, thus limiting their use for comparability.

The following tables present selected financial data, including the reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.

EBITDA is calculated by excluding depreciation and amortization expense, interest expense, interest income, other expense, income taxes and equity in losses of unconsolidated subsidiaries from net income.

EBITDA margin is calculated by dividing EBITDA by revenue.

Adjusted net income is calculated by excluding the following items and the related tax impacts from net income: (i) amortization of acquired intangible assets and (ii) discrete tax items.

Adjusted diluted EPS is calculated by dividing adjusted net income by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding.

Note: Figures may not add due to rounding.
