3 BGOV00 Federal Industry Leaders Overview The third annual BGOV00 Federal Industry Leaders Study ranks and profiles the top 00 federal vendors by value of prime, unclassified contracts awarded by U.S. agencies in fiscal 03. It ranks the top contractors at 4 agencies and departments, and in 0 different purchasing categories. Fiscal 03 represented the culmination of a number of long-building forces in federal contracting. Sequestration, the sustained drawdowns in Iraq and Afghanistan, and increasing budget pressures continued the downward trajectory of federal spending on contractors. Many of the companies that rose in rank this year did so by maintaining previous-year levels and not by winning additional contract dollars. This study examines some of the drivers of contracting dynamics and how vendors have fared and reacted. The study finds: Total contracts in fiscal 03 were $46. billion, down percent from $56.3 billion in fiscal 0. The share of total government obligation dollars won by the top 00 was 65 percent, which is on par with fiscal 0 s 64 percent. Of the companies in the BGOV00, 06 had declines from a year earlier in contract awards, including seven of the top 0. The other 94 companies increased their government obligations despite the overall contracting decline. One strategy used by successful contractors was moving into protected markets that experienced less budget pressure. These markets included health services; health information technology (IT); cybersecurity; and intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR). Twenty-one companies that rose in rank on the BGOV00 in 03 provided goods and services in those four categories. Contractors with large protected defense programs saw obligations remain steady or increase. Overall, contractors who produced products did better than those who provided services. Of the top 0 companies, 56 percent of those who primarily provide products saw gains, compared with 36 percent for services. Mergers and acquisitions were less significant growth factors in fiscal 03 compared with fiscal 0 and 0. Instead, firms sought to increase efficiency through spinoffs or divestitures. The largest was SAIC s split into Leidos Holdings Inc. (No. 3), a high-marginfocused technology company, and Science Applications International Corp. (No. ), a lower-margin government services company. Both companies appear in the top 00, though neither ranked as high as the combined company did in fiscal 0. Sequestration and budget pressures There was a steady overseas military drawdown in fiscal 03, unlike fiscal 0, which saw a large reduction of U.S. forces in Iraq. U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan has been a slower process that continued during fiscal 03 and is slated to end in fiscal 04. Even so, companies reliant on contracts supporting the war effort faced decreases in spending. Navistar International Corp., for example, fell out of the rankings this year as the military reduced its needs for Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicles. The dominant budget issue during fiscal 03 was sequestration, which took effect on March, 03, and reduced spending below the Budget Control Act caps already imposed by Congress. The automatic spending cuts eliminated $68.4 billion in discretionary budget authority, a 6.6 percent decline: $4.6 billion for defense and $5.8 billion for nondefense. When nondiscretionary spending is included, the cuts are spread evenly between nondefense and defense, because the majority of mandatory spending is in nondefense areas. Sequestration forced agencies to decrease activities and furlough employees. While 4 Overview bgov.com

4 sequestration was initially designed as acrossthe-board reductions, some agencies eventually identified certain areas of flexibility to mitigate its blanket effects. The Department of (DOD) used its annual reprogramming authority to shift money from less-vital programs to critical functions and priority programs, alleviating some of the pain the agency faced from the $37. billion budget cut. This reprogramming was used to push money from procurement into operations, though Operations and Maintenance (O&M) absorbed the largest cuts in terms of dollars. Procurement cuts due to sequestration were relatively concentrated, with nearly 30 percent concentrated in 0 programs, including Lockheed Martin Corp. s (No. ) F-35 Joint Strike Fighter and General Dynamics Corp. s (No. 3) Virginia class submarine. To further complicate matters, some agencies faced legal limitations on issuing new starts while the federal government was operating under continuing resolutions (CRs). Only those agencies operating under a full-year CR, such as the DOD and Department of Agriculture, and programs that were specified in partial-year CRs were able to issue new contract starts. All these factors combined to create a tough year for contractors. Declining budgets and sequestration meant that there were fewer dollars to capture as the government contracted out less work and procured fewer items, leaving 53 percent of the top 00 with declining contract awards in fiscal 03. Markets in flux Of the 0 purchasing categories explored in the BGOV00, 8 declined in contract dollars in 03. Only the medical supplies and aircraft categories increased. One of the hardest-hit categories was land vehicles, which continued to decline as military investments in armored vehicles decreased. Oshkosh Corp. (No. 35), however, reversed its 0 drop in rankings when the Army ordered over $ billion worth of its Palletized Load System, a type of supply and transport truck. Some markets were symptomatic of the lumpy nature of federal spending as projects move from one phase to the next. The space vehicles category, for example, declined by $.3 billion, and United Launch Alliance LLC (No. 39) experienced a corresponding $. billion decrease in space vehicle contracts -- but it gained $.0 billion in a different category, transportation services, as the government purchased the company s Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicle one year and launched it the next. A competitor, Space Exploration Technologies Corp. (No. 78), experienced a similar spending transition. Ships and submarines, one of the few spending categories that were relatively steady between 0 and 03, also benefited from the lumpy nature of major acquisitions spending. Huntington Ingalls Industries Inc. (No. 6) was one of the three companies in the top 0 to see an increase in contracting obligations, in part due to the production timing of DHS s National Security Cutter, which increased Huntington Ingalls contract obligations by $564 million over the previous year from just one contract. The fuel category saw upheaval. BP PLC, banned in 0 from doing business with the U.S. government because of the 00 Deepwater Horizon oil spill along the Gulf Coast, fell off the list. BP, which in 0 was No. in the fuel category and No. 7 overall, left a void that other fuel companies rushed to fill. With five new companies in its top 0, the fuel category rivaled food and construction services as the most volatile category in terms of top 0 turnover. Company reactions While some companies were hurt by budget pressures and sequestration, others were able to maintain or even increase contract totals by focusing on protected programs and achieving internal efficiencies through cost-cutting or restructuring. bgov.com Overview 5

6 Protected programs All three companies in the top 0 that increased their contract totals, Lockheed Martin, Huntington Ingalls and McKesson Corp. (No. 0), benefited because they worked on politically protected programs, the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter for Lockheed Martin, a number of warships for Huntington Ingalls and pharmaceuticals for the Veterans Administration for McKesson. Even with cuts from sequestration, these large multiyear programs helped mitigate losses elsewhere and almost guarantee a steady line of funding for the next few years, barring any major shifts in strategy. Many of the companies in the top 00 hold Major Acquisition Programs contracts. Textron Inc. (No. 0) saw increases to its Bell Helicopter unit as the Marine Corps continued to upgrade its UH- helicopters, for example. These protected programs demonstrate another important trend in 03: Products survived better than services. Of the top 0 companies primarily involved in products, five protected or increased their contract award dollars, compared with three of the top 0 companies that provide services. Harris Corp. (No. 7), for example, saw increases for both of its largest telecommunications equipment contracts. One services company able to weather the decrease was Accenture PLC (No. 6), which moved up 3 spots in the ranking thanks to its acquisition of ASM Research LLC, which did $53 million worth of work with the government in 0, enough to help boost Accenture s ranking. That strategy did not work as well for competitor Booz Allen Hamilton Holding Corp. (No. 6), despite its purchase of ARINC Inc. s Systems Engineering & Support unit. Forty companies managed to rise or stay steady in the rankings despite a decrease in contract awards. The 03 contracting cycle was so difficult for so many companies that to rise in the rankings, companies often only needed to come close to their fiscal 0 dollar levels. Many of the companies that increased in rank without increasing obligations are involved in health, such as Pfizer Inc. (No. 60). Cost-cutting and divestitures One strategy for propping up margins in the face of decreasing contracting dollars was internal costcutting. All top five defense contractors reported strong profits in 03 compared with 0 despite the fact that four of them had decreasing contract awards. This was at least in part a result of increasing internal efficiencies to offset decreasing obligations. Compared with previous years, 03 saw fewer significant mergers and acquisitions (M&A) activity; only two companies, Accenture PLC (No. 6) and Chicago Bridge & Iron Co. NV (No. 79), bought their ways to growth. However, 03 did see a greater number of divestitures and spinoffs as companies separated their high- and low-margin business units. The highest-ranking new entrants to the BGOV00 are Leidos and Science Applications International Corp (SAIC), as a result of SAIC Inc. s split. Leidos (No. 3), with $.6 billion in fiscal 03 contract dollars, targets higher-margin national security, health and engineering business units. SAIC (No. ), which retained the original company s name, focuses on lower-margin government services and IT support, though at $3.7 billion in fiscal 03 contract dollars it ranks higher than its former partner. Similarly, Computer Sciences Corp. (No. 8) sold off its applied technology division to reduce its lower-margin units. As mentioned, ARINC Inc. sold its Systems Engineering & Support unit to consolidate its high-margin units as it prepared to sell itself to Rockwell Collins Inc. (No. 73) in fiscal 04. Diversifying into adjacent markets Many of the companies least affected by budget cuts were those that have aggressively diversified in robust markets, notably health, including both IT and services, as well as cybersecurity and ISR. Serco Group PLC (No. 83) was able to offset some losses in its professional services division by moving into health, increasing its overall contract dollars from $66.8 million to $76. million, in part due bgov.com Overview 7

7 to a $00 million contract supporting the Affordable Care Act. CGI Group Inc. (No. 63), which suffered some negative publicity over its handling of the Affordable Care Act health-care website, is nevertheless wellpositioned after diversifying into a number of markets, including visa services for the Department of State. AECOM Technology Corp. (No. 77) increased its contract dollars by $6.6 million in 03, in part by expanding into the Air Force market in addition to its work with the U.S Agency for International Development. Pacific Architects & Engineers Inc. (No. 58) bought CSC s applied technology division as it expanded into the Department of Commerce, DHS and Air Force markets, resulting in a $339.6 million increase in contract obligations. Similarly, CACI International Inc. (No. 30) expanded into the ISR market because its traditional funding source, Overseas Contingency Operations (OCO), is slated to decrease. While it did not increase its overall contract revenue in 03, CACI did not decline in the rankings, signifying that its efforts allowed it to perform well relative to its peers. Going forward The budget agreement reached for fiscal 04 reduced the effects of sequestration and may spell some relief from the year-over-year contract spending decline. O&M, hit hardest by sequestration, benefitted from the higher funding levels outlined in the omnibus agreement. This is good news for companies like L-3 Communications Holdings Inc. (No. 8), which generates about 65 percent of its DOD sales through O&M funds. In terms of base funding, nondefense activities actually gained more in fiscal 04 appropriations. Total omnibus defense spending is $50.5 billion, up from $57.8 billion in post-sequester fiscal 03. Nondefense spending increased to $49.8 billion from $464.5 billion in post-sequester fiscal 03. Fiscal 04 OCO spending will be $9.8 billion. Post-sequester 03 OCO numbers are not available. 8 Overview bgov.com
