Revenue by Segment
Forward Guidance
Leidos is initiating fiscal year 2022 guidance with revenues between $13.9 - $14.3 billion, adjusted EBITDA margin between 10.3% - 10.5%, non-GAAP diluted EPS between $6.10 - $6.50, and cash flows provided by operating activities at or above $1.0 billion.
Challenges Ahead
- A provision of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 went into effect on January 1, 2022, that requires companies to capitalize and amortize research and development costs over five years rather than deducting such costs in the year incurred for tax purposes.
- Leidos currently estimates that cash flows provided by operating activities would decrease by approximately $150 million in fiscal 2022 if the provision remains in effect.
- Net deferred tax assets would increase by a similar amount if the provision remains in effect.
- The actual impact on cash flows provided by operating activities will depend on the amount of research and development costs the Company will incur.
- The actual impact depends on whether Congress modifies or repeals this provision and on whether new guidance and interpretive rules are issued by the US Treasury, among other factors.
