The increase was attributed to the company’s move to step up current and new contracts, and also the acquisition of Halfaker to expand its digital transformation portfolio.
SAIC also increased its full year revenue guidance by setting the range at $7.43bn to $7.55bn.
Net income attributable to common stockholders decreased from $81m in the first quarter of the previous year, to $73m in the current fiscal year.
The company’s operating income as a percentage of revenue also declined when compared to the previous year, owing to several factors including higher indirect costs.
