Quarterly Report


Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Introduction and Overview

ManTech International Corporation (depending on the circumstances, "ManTech" "Company" "we" "our" "ours" or "us") is a leading provider of innovative technologies and solutions for mission-critical national security programs for the Intelligence Community; the departments of Defense, State, Homeland Security and Justice; the Space Community and other U.S. federal government customers. ManTech's expertise includes systems engineering, systems integration, software development services, enterprise architecture, cyber security, information assurance, intelligence operations and analysis support, network and critical infrastructure protection, information operations and information warfare support, information technology, communications integration, global logistics and supply chain management and service oriented architectures. The Company supports the advanced telecommunications systems that are used in Operation Iraqi Freedom and in other parts of the world; has developed a secure, collaborative communications system for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security; and builds and maintains secure databases that track terrorists. With approximately 7,900 highly qualified employees, we operate in approximately 40 countries worldwide.

We derive revenue primarily from contracts with U.S. government agencies that are focused on national security, and as a result, funding for our programs is generally linked to trends in U.S. government spending in the areas of defense, intelligence, homeland security and other federal government agencies. Related to the evolving terrorist threats and world events, the U.S. government has continued to increase its overall defense, intelligence and homeland security budgets.

We recommend that you read this discussion and analysis in conjunction with Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

Revenues

Revenues increased 5.8% to $449.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009, compared to $425.1 million for the same period in 2008. The increase was primarily due to our contracts supporting forward deployments in Iraq, Afghanistan and other areas around the world and our acquisitions of Emerging Technologies Group, USA, Inc. (ETG) in August 2008, EWA Service, Inc. (EWA) in November 2008 and DDK Technology Services, Inc. (DDK) in March 2009. Revenue growth of $23.5 million came from global logistics and supply chain management contracts; specifically contracts for the installation and repair of systems designed to counter or clear mines and improvised explosive devices (IED). Our Global Property Management contract also experienced growth. In addition, our recent acquisitions added $6.2 million to our condensed consolidated revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2009. These increases were partially offset by a decline in certain Space related work.

Cost of services

Cost of services increased 4.1% to $370.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009, compared to $355.7 million for the same period in 2008. The increase in cost of services is primarily due to direct labor costs, which include applicable fringe benefits and overhead related to our IED and property management contracts and our recent acquisitions of ETG, EWA and DDK. As a percentage of revenues, cost of services decreased 1.3% to 82.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2009 as compared to 83.7% for the same period in 2008. Direct labor costs increased by 7.3% over the same period in 2008 primarily due to acquisitions and growth in staff supporting global logistics and supply chain management. As a percentage of revenues, direct labor costs increased 0.6% to 41.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2009, compared to 41.2% for the same period in 2008. The increase in direct labor as a percentage of revenues is primarily due to the relative mix of direct labor and other direct costs. Other direct costs, which include subcontractors and third party equipment and materials used in the performance of our contracts, increased by 1.0% over the same period in 2008. The increase in other direct costs was primarily due to an increase in purchases of equipment and materials on our contracts for installation and repair of systems designed to counter or clear mines and IEDs. As a percentage of revenues, other direct costs decreased by 1.9% from 42.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2008 to 40.5% for the same period in 2009.

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses increased 11.8% to $38.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009, compared to $34.8 million for the same period in 2008. As a percentage of revenues, general and administrative expenses increased to 8.6% from 8.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The increase as a percentage of revenues was largely due to systems and staff requirements needed to support increased demands for materials and services.

Interest expense

Interest expense decreased $1.3 million to $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009, compared to $1.6 million for the same period in 2008. The decrease in interest expense is due to a decline in the interest rate we pay related to our credit facility, as well as a decrease in our average outstanding debt balance. Our average outstanding debt balance for the three months ended March 31, 2009 was $90.6 million as compared to $175.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The interest rate we incur on our credit facility is impacted by changes in the Federal Funds Rate or London Interbank Offer Rate (LIBOR). Changes in our lending rates could lead to fluctuations in our interest expense in future periods. For additional information, see "Credit Agreement," below.

Interest income

Interest income decreased $0.1 million to $0.1 million of the three months ended March 31, 2009, compared to $0.2 million for the same period in 2008. The fluctuation is due to a reduction in the interest rate related to our cash accounts for the three months ended March 31, 2009 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2008.

Net income

Net income increased 22.8% to $24.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009, compared to $19.9 million for the same period in 2008. The increase is a result of higher revenue and improved margins, primarily driven by increased demand for higher end labor. Our effective tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 were 39.0% and 39.6%, respectively.

Backlog

At March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, our backlog was $4.1 billion and $4.0 billion, respectively, of which $1.1 billion and $1.2 billion, respectively, was funded backlog. Backlog represents estimates that we calculate on a consistent basis. Additional information on how we determine backlog is included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, previously filed with the SEC.

Effects of Inflation

Inflation and uncertainties in the macroeconomic environment, such as conditions in financial markets, could impact our labor rates beyond the predetermined escalation factors. However, we generally have been able to price our contracts in a manner to accommodate the rates of inflation experienced in recent years. Under our time and materials contracts, labor rates are usually adjusted annually by predetermined escalation factors. Our cost reimbursable contracts automatically adjust for changes in cost. Under our fixed-price contracts, we include a predetermined escalation factor, but generally, we have not been adversely affected by near-term inflation. Purchases of equipment and materials directly for contracts are usually cost reimbursable.

In addition, inflation or inflationary concerns could prompt the Federal Reserve to begin increasing the Federal Funds Rate. As one of the borrowing rates in our credit facility is tied to the Federal Funds Rate, increases in this rate, given similar levels of debt, could lead to higher interest expense.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary liquidity needs are the financing of acquisitions, working capital and capital expenditures. Our primary source of liquidity is cash provided by operations and our revolving credit facility. At March 31, 2009, we had $95.2 million outstanding under our credit facility. At March 31, 2009, we were contingently liable under letters of credit totaling $0.7 million, which reduces our ability to borrow under our credit facility. The maximum available borrowing under our credit facility at March 31, 2009 was $204.1 million. Generally, cash provided by operating activities is adequate to fund our operations. Due to fluctuations in our cash flows and the growth in our operations, it is necessary from time to time to increase borrowings under our credit facility to meet cash demands. In the future, we may borrow greater amounts in order to finance acquisitions or new contract start ups.

Cash flows from operating activities

Three months ended March 31, (in thousands) 2009 2008 Net cash flow from operating activities $ (31,806 ) $ 15,011

Our operating cash flow is primarily affected by the overall profitability of our contracts, our ability to invoice and collect from our clients in a timely manner and our ability to manage our vendor payments. We bill most of our customers and prime contractors monthly after services are rendered. Decreased cash flow from operations during the three months ended March 31, 2009 as compared to the same period in 2008 was negatively impacted by the timing of the collection of customer receivables as well as increased payroll and bonus related expenditures. The cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was attributed to an increase in earnings (adjusted for non cash items) and accounts payable and accrued expenses, partially offset by an increase in accounts receivable and a reduction in accrued salaries and related expenses. The increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses is primarily due to an increase in federal taxes payable and accrued expenses for project related direct costs.

Cash flows from investing activities

Three months ended March 31, (in thousands) 2009 2008 Net cash flow from investing activities $ (16,011 ) $ (1,248 )

Our cash flow from investing activities consists primarily of capital expenditures and business acquisitions. Cash outflows during the three months ended March 31, 2009 were primarily from our acquisition of DDK on March 13, 2009 for $14.0 million as well as purchases of equipment and software for internal use. The cash outflows from continuing operations in 2008 were primarily the result of our investment in property and equipment and internally used software to support our business.

Cash flows from financing activities

Three months ended March 31, (in thousands) 2009 2008 Net cash flow from financing activities $ 53,040 $ (11,827 )

Cash flow from financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2009 resulted primarily from borrowings under our credit facility to finance the acquisition of DDK and to fund our operations. The net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2008 resulted from net payments on our credit facility of $16.9 million offset by proceeds from the exercise of stock options along with the related tax benefits of $5.1 million.

Credit Agreement

We maintain a revolving credit agreement with a syndicate of lenders led by Bank of America, N.A, as administrative agent. The credit agreement provides for a $300.0 million revolving credit facility, with a $25.0 million letter of credit sub limit and a


Table of Contents

$30.0 million swing line loan sub limit. The credit agreement also contains an accordion feature that permits the Company to arrange with the lenders for them to provide up to $100.0 million in additional commitments. The maturity date for the credit agreement is April 30, 2012.

Borrowings under the credit agreement are collateralized by our assets and bear interest at one of the following rates as selected by the Company: a LIBOR-based rate plus market-rate spreads that are determined based on the Company's leverage ratio calculation (0.875% to 1.5%), or the lender's base rate, which is the lower of the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5% or Bank of America's prime lending rate.

The terms of the credit agreement permit prepayment and termination of the loan commitments at any time, subject to certain conditions. The credit agreement requires the Company to comply with specified financial covenants, including the maintenance of a certain leverage ratio and fixed charge coverage ratio. The credit agreement also contains various covenants, including affirmative covenants with respect to certain reporting requirements and maintaining certain business activities, and negative covenants that, among other things, may limit our ability to incur liens, incur additional indebtedness, make investments, make acquisitions, pay cash dividends and undertake certain additional actions. As of March 31, 2009, we were in compliance with our financial covenants under the credit agreement.

We believe the capital resources available to us under our credit agreement and cash from our operations are adequate to fund our ongoing operations and to support the internal growth we expect to achieve for at least the next twelve months. We anticipate financing our external growth from acquisitions and our longer-term internal growth through one or more of the following sources: cash from operations, use of the existing revolving facility, a refinancing of our credit agreement, additional borrowing or issuance of equity.

Critical Accounting Estimates and Policies

Critical accounting policies are defined as those that are reflective of significant judgments and uncertainties, and potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. Application of these policies is particularly important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations. The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Our significant accounting policies, including the critical accounting policies and practices listed below, are more fully described and discussed in the notes to our consolidated financial statements for fiscal year 2008 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, filed with the SEC on February 27, 2009.

Revenue Recognition and Cost Estimation

We recognize revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services have been rendered, the contract price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. We have a standard internal process that we use to determine whether all required criteria for revenue recognition have been met.

Our revenues consist primarily of services provided by our employees and the pass through of costs for materials and subcontract efforts under contracts with our customers. Cost of services consists primarily of compensation expenses for program personnel, the fringe benefits associated with this compensation and other direct expenses incurred to complete programs, including cost of materials and subcontract efforts.

We derive the majority of our revenue from cost-plus-fixed-fee, cost-plus-award-fee, firm-fixed-price or time-and-materials contracts. Revenues for cost-reimbursement contracts are recorded as reimbursable costs are incurred, including an estimated share of the applicable contractual fees earned. For performance-based fees under cost reimbursable contracts that are subject to the provisions of American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) Statement of Position (SOP) No. 81-1, Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts, or SOP 81-1, we recognize the relevant portion of the expected fee to be awarded by the client at the time such fee can be reasonably estimated, based on factors such as our prior award experience and communications with the client regarding performance. For cost reimbursable contracts with performance-based fee incentives that are subject to the provisions of SEC Topic 13, Revenue Recognition, we recognize the relevant portion of the fee upon customer approval. For time-and-material contracts, revenue is recognized to the extent of billable rates times hours delivered plus material and other reimbursable costs incurred. For long-term fixed-price production contracts, revenue is recognized at a rate per unit as the units are delivered, or by other methods to measure services provided. Revenue from other long-term fixed-price contracts is recognized ratably over the contract period or by other appropriate methods to measure services provided. Contract costs are expensed as incurred except for certain limited long-term contracts noted below. For long-term contracts specifically described in the scope section of SOP 81-1 or other appropriate accounting literature, we apply the


Table of Contents

percentage of completion method. Under the percentage of completion method, income is recognized at a consistent profit margin over the period of performance based on estimated profit margins at completion of the contract. This method of accounting requires estimating the total revenues and total contract cost at completion of the contract. During the performance of long-term contracts, these estimates are periodically reviewed and revisions are made as required. The impact on revenue and contract profit as a result of these revisions is included in the periods in which the revisions are made. This method can result in the deferral of costs or the deferral of profit on these contracts. Because we assume the risk of performing a fixed-price contract at a set price, the failure to accurately estimate ultimate costs or to control costs during performance of the work could result, and in some instances has resulted, in reduced profits or losses for such contracts. Estimated losses on contracts at completion are recognized when identified. In certain circumstances, revenues are recognized when contract amendments have not been finalized.

Accounting for Business Combinations and Goodwill

The purchase price of an acquired business is allocated to the tangible assets, financial assets and separately recognized intangible assets acquired less liabilities assumed based upon their respective fair values, with the excess recorded as goodwill. Such fair value assessments require judgments and estimates that can be affected by contract performance and other factors over time, which may cause final amounts to differ materially from original estimates.

We review goodwill at least annually for impairment. We have elected to perform this review during the second quarter of each calendar year.

Due to the many variables inherent in the estimation of a reporting unit's fair value and the relative size of the Company's recorded goodwill, differences in assumptions may have a material effect on the results of the Company's impairment analysis.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

On April 1, 2009, Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Staff Position (FSP) No.141(R)-1, Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies, or FSP 141(R)-1, was issued. FSP 141(R)-1 amends and clarifies FASB Statement No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations (SFAS 141(R)) to address application issues raised by preparers, auditors and members of the legal profession on initial recognition and measurement, subsequent measurement and accounting and disclosure of assets and liabilities arising from contingencies in a business combination. FSP
141(R)-1 applies to all assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination that arise from contingencies that would be within the scope of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 5, Accounting for Contingencies, if not acquired or assumed in a business combination, except for assets or liabilities arising from contingencies that are subject to specific guidance in SFAS 141(R). An acquirer should recognize at fair value, at the acquisition date, an asset acquired or a liability assumed in a business combination that arises from a contingency if the acquisition-date fair value of that asset or liability can be determined during the measurement period. An acquirer should disclose information that enables users of its financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of a business combination that occurs either during the current reporting period or after the reporting period but before the financial statements are issued. FSP 141(R)-1 is effective for assets or liabilities arising from contingencies in business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008.

The SEC issued a final rule (RIN 3235-AJ71 Interactive Data to Improve Financial Reporting) requiring companies to provide financial statement information in a form that is intended to improve its usefulness to investors. This final rule applies to public companies and foreign private issuers that prepare their financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and foreign private issuers that prepare their financial statements using International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). Companies will provide their financial statements to the SEC and on their corporate website in interactive data format using eXtensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL). The interactive data will be provided as an exhibit to periodic and current reports and registration statements, as well as to transition reports for a change in fiscal year. We will be required to submit an interactive data file for our June 30, 2010 quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

In November 2008, the SEC issued for comment a proposed roadmap regarding the potential use by U.S. issuers of financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS. IFRS is a comprehensive series of accounting standards published by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). Under the proposed roadmap, we could be required in fiscal 2014 to prepare financial statements in accordance with IFRS. The SEC will make a determination in 2011 regarding the mandatory adoption of IFRS. We are currently assessing the impact that this potential change would have on our condensed consolidated financial statements and we will continue to monitor the development of the potential implementation of IFRS.

Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements that involve substantial risks and uncertainties, many of which are outside of our control. ManTech believes these statements to be within the definition of the Private Securities


Table of Contents

Litigation Reform Act of 1995. You can identify these statements by forward-looking words such as "may," "will," "expect," "intend," "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "continue" and other similar words. You should read statements that contain these words carefully because they discuss our future expectations, make projections of our future results of operations or financial condition or state other "forward-looking" information.

Although forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report reflect the good faith judgment of management, such statements can only be based on facts and factors currently known by us. Consequently, forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties and actual results and outcomes may differ materially from the results and outcomes discussed in or anticipated by the forward-looking statements. We believe that it is important to communicate our future expectations to our investors. However, there may be events in the future that we are not able to predict accurately or control. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results we anticipate include, but are not limited to, the following:

• adverse changes in U.S. government spending priorities;

• failure to retain existing U.S. government contracts, win new contracts or win recompletes;

• adverse results of U.S. government audits of our government contracts;

• risks associated with complex U.S. government procurement laws and regulations;

• adverse effect of contract consolidations;

• risk of contract performance or termination;

• failure to obtain option awards, task orders or funding under contracts;

• adverse changes in our mix of contract types;
