Organic growth represented 7 percentage points of the consolidated growth for the quarter. Key drivers of internal growth included recent wins in defense logistics, information technology, and cyber-security as well as increased tasking on existing defense programs, the company said .
Operating income for the quarter increased 17% to $221 million from $189 million in the second quarter of previous year. Operating income margin improved to 8% from 7.4% driven by continued improvements in cost efficiency and program performance.
In the first quarter, the company posted revenues of $2.65 billion, a 12% increase from the earlier year period.
The company's backlog at the end of the second quarter was $16.3 billion with $5.6 billion of funded backlog. This represents a backlog increase of 2% and funded backlog increase of 4% from the same period last year.
For the first six months of the year, the company reported net income of $239 million or $0.59 per share, compared to $212 million or $0.51 per share in the prior year. Revenues for the six month period increased to $5.40 billion from $4.92 billion a year ago.
Looking forward to the fiscal year 2010, the company still expects to grow revenues internally in the 6% to 9% range and earnings per share in the 11% to 18% range.
Mark Sopp, chief financial officer, said "The company's continued strong execution enables us to reaffirm our expectation that we will achieve our long-term financial growth goals again in fiscal year 2010. We are positioned to see increased contract awards in the second half of the year, which should provide a strong foundation as we head into fiscal year 2011."
