ACS Announces Third Quarter Fiscal Year 2006 Results

DALLAS, TEXAS: April 27, 2006 — Affiliated Computer Services, Inc., (NYSE: ACS), a premier provider of business process outsourcing and information technology solutions, announced third quarter fiscal year 2006 revenues of $1.31 billion, an increase of 24% compared to the third quarter of the prior year. The Company’s internal revenue growth rate was 6% for the quarter. Third quarter fiscal year 2006 reported diluted earnings per share was $0.62, and included certain restructuring charges and other items.

The Company signed $190 million of annual recurring revenue during the quarter. This represents an increase of 52% when compared to the adjusted prior year quarter. Despite continued strong new business signings, the pipeline increased over 10% sequentially and represents a company record.

“We continue to make excellent progress on the initiatives we have set for the company,” said Mark King, ACS’ President and Chief Executive Officer. “Business momentum remains very strong as evidenced by another healthy quarter of new business signings. I am also pleased to report that, even though our year-to-date new business signings have increased 32% over the prior year period, our pipelines have expanded to over $1.5 billion, the highest in our history. Our initiatives to improve overall client satisfaction are paying off as well, with year-to-date renewal rates of approximately 95%. As a result, I am very confident that internal growth will accelerate given the tremendous increase in new business awards over the last several quarters, coupled with our outstanding renewal rate and increasing sales opportunities. The ACS management team will continue to focus on delivering outstanding service to our clients and providing great opportunities for our employees. And, with this focus we expect to deliver long-term value to our shareholders.”

Key highlights from the third quarter of fiscal year 2006 include:

•

Commercial segment revenue grew 47% and accounted for 60% of revenues this quarter. Commercial internal revenue growth was 11%. Government segment revenue accounted for 40% of revenues this quarter. Excluding prior year revenue from the Government Welfare to Workforce Services business (“WWS”), substantially all of which was sold in the second quarter of 2006 (“WWS Divestiture”), Government total revenue increased 10% over the prior year, all of which was acquisition related.

	•		Diluted earnings per share was $0.62 for the third quarter of fiscal year 2006. Reported results include $0.11 per diluted share related to results of operations from two underperforming multi-scope HR contracts, $0.03 per diluted share related to restructuring activities and incremental transaction expenses related to the Mellon HR business, $0.03 per diluted share related to debt issue costs from our previous credit facility and legal expenses associated with the activities of our Special Committee of the Board of Directors, a $0.01 per diluted share write-down of accounts receivable retained from the fiscal year 2004 divestiture of a majority of our Federal government business, and a $0.01 residual gain associated with the WWS Divestiture.

	•		Annualized recurring new business sold was $190 million during the quarter. Trailing twelve month annual recurring new business increased 28% over the prior trailing twelve month period, excluding new business signings from the WWS Divestiture.

	•		Cash flow from operations during the third quarter was approximately $113 million, or 8.6% of revenues, and free cash flow was negative $8 million. Cash flow from operations and free cash flow were both adversely impacted by final settlement payments of $86 million related to the Mellon transition services agreement and Mellon pre-acquisition bonus payments of $26 million. Capital expenditures and additions to intangible assets were approximately $120 million, or 9.2% of revenues.

Key year-to-date highlights for fiscal year 2006 include:

	•		Revenues for the nine months ended March 31, 2006 were $3.97 billion, an increase of 30% compared to the first nine months of the prior year, adjusted for the WWS Divestiture. Internal revenue growth for the first nine months of fiscal year 2006 was 7% and the remaining growth was due to acquisitions.

	•		Cash flow from operations for the first nine months was $468 million, or 11.8% of revenue, and free cash flow was $150 million, or 3.8% of revenue. Cash flow from operations and free cash flow were adversely impacted by final settlement payments of $86 million related to the Mellon transition services agreement, of which $76 million benefited our fourth quarter fiscal year 2005 results, and Mellon pre-acquisition bonus payments of $26 million. Capital expenditures and additions to intangibles were $318 million, or 8.0% of revenues.

	•		Diluted earnings per share related to nine months ended March 31, 2006 was $2.17. Reported results included $0.11 per diluted share results from two underperforming multi-scope HR contracts, $0.09 per diluted share related to restructuring activities and incremental transaction expenses related to the Mellon HR business, $0.05 per diluted share related to debt issue costs of our previous credit facility and legal expenses associated with the activities of our Special Committee of the Board of Directors and other legal expenses, a $0.01 per diluted share write-down of accounts receivable retained from the fiscal year 2004 divestiture of the majority of our Federal government business, a benefit of approximately $0.14 per diluted share for the WWS Divestiture, a $0.03 per diluted share charge for compensation expense related to the departure of the former Chief Executive Officer and a $0.02 per diluted share charge for an assessment of risk related to the bankruptcies of certain airline clients. The adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) impacted diluted earnings per share by $0.13 during the first nine months of fiscal year 2006.

ACS initial guidance for fiscal year 2007, is as follows:

	•		Revenue growth — Total revenue growth is expected to be at least 10%, after taking into consideration the WWS Divestiture which occurred in the second quarter of fiscal year 2006.

	•		Diluted earnings per share growth is expected to be at least 10%, assuming no further share repurchases.

ACS will discuss these results on a conference call and webcast on www.acs-inc.com at 3:30 p.m. CDT today. During the conference call, management will refer to a presentation provided on the Investor Relations page of ACS’ website which will contain certain non-generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) financial measures, some of which are included herein as well as reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

Frequently Used Terms

New business signings — While there are no third party standards or requirements governing the calculation of new business signings, new business signings are defined as recurring revenue from new contracts, including the incremental portion of renewals, signed during the period and represent the estimated first twelve months of revenue to be recorded under that contract after full implementation. We use new business signings as a measure of estimated recurring revenues represented by contractual commitments, both to forecast prospective revenues and to estimate capital commitments. Revenues are measured under GAAP.

Trailing twelve month new business — is the preceding twelve months of new business signings at a point in time expressed in annual revenue, not total contract value.

Supplemental Information

We have provided the impact on pre-tax profit, net income and diluted earnings per share of certain transactions and events included in our reported results of operations, which management believes enhances the understanding of our financial results and the impact of those events and transactions on our results. Management believes this information provides additional information related to factors impacting our reported financial performance which may be useful to investors. The amount of the transaction or event is presented on a basis determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles as reflected in our reported consolidated results of operations. All per share measures are calculated on the same diluted per share basis as our reported diluted earnings per share. The per share impacts are not intended to reflect a per share amount that accrues directly to an investor’s benefit as a result of the particular transaction or event.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

The Company reports its financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). However, management believes that certain non-GAAP financial measures and ratios, used in managing the Company’s business, may provide users of this financial information with additional meaningful comparisons between current results and prior reported results. Certain of the information set forth herein and certain of the information presented by the Company from time to time including free cash flow and internal revenue growth may constitute non-GAAP financial measures within the meaning of Regulation G adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission. We have presented herein and we will present in other information we publish that contains any of these non-GAAP financial measures a reconciliation of these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable amounts determined in accordance with GAAP in the United States.

Internal Revenue Growth

Internal revenue growth is measured as total revenue growth less acquired revenue from acquisitions and revenues from divested operations. At the date of acquisition, we identify the trailing twelve months of revenue of the acquired company as the “pre-acquisition revenue of acquired companies.” Pre-acquisition revenue of the acquired companies is considered “acquired

revenues” in our calculation, and revenues from the acquired company, either above or below that amount are components of “internal growth” in our calculation. We use the calculation of internal revenue growth to measure revenue growth excluding the impact of acquired revenues and the revenue associated with divested operations and we believe these adjustments to historical reported results are necessary to accurately reflect our internal revenue growth. Revenues from divested operations are excluded from the internal revenue growth calculation in the periods following the effective date of the divestiture. Our measure of internal revenue growth may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. (unaudited, $ in millions)

Free Cash Flow

Free cash flow — is measured as operating cash flow (net cash provided by operating activities, as reported in our consolidated statements of cash flows) less capital expenditures (purchases of property, equipment and software, net of sales, as reported in our consolidated statements of cash flows) less additions to other intangible assets (as reported in our consolidated statements of cash flows). We believe this free cash flow metric provides an additional measure of available cash flow after we have satisfied the capital expenditure requirements of our operations, and should not be taken in isolation to be a measure of cash flow available for us to satisfy all our obligations and execute our business strategies. We also rely on cash flows from investing and financing activities which, together with free cash flow, are expected to be sufficient for us to execute our business strategies. Our measure of free cash flow may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. (unaudited, $ in millions)
