ACS Announces Second Quarter Fiscal Year 2007 Results
DALLAS, TEXAS: February 13, 2007 — Affiliated Computer Services, Inc., (NYSE: ACS), a premier provider of business process outsourcing and information technology solutions, announced second quarter fiscal year 2007 revenues of $1.4 billion, an increase of 6% compared to the second quarter of the prior year. The Company’s internal revenue growth rate for the quarter was 4%. Second quarter fiscal year 2007 diluted earnings per share was $0.72, and included legal expenses related to the ongoing stock option investigations and shareholder derivative lawsuits and a gain on hedging activities.
“I am very pleased with our results this quarter. We saw improvements in operating margins in both the Commercial and Government segments. Our renewal rates were excellent at approximately 90% for the second quarter and approximately 95% for the first six months of the year. I would like to thank our clients for their continued confidence in ACS,” said Lynn Blodgett, ACS’ President and Chief Executive Officer. “Internal revenue growth in our Government segment improved to 4% which is a sign that the steps we started taking 18 months ago to restructure our sales force have driven the desired results. We achieved good cash flow results in the second quarter and reduced capital expenditures in absolute terms and as a percent of revenue from the prior year and prior quarter. All in all this was a good quarter for ACS. We could not have achieved these results without our resilient and dedicated workforce and I appreciate all of their efforts.”
Other key highlights from ACS’ fiscal 2007 second quarter include:
    Total revenue growth for the second quarter was 6% from the prior year quarter. Total revenue growth was 10% after adjusting for the divestiture of the welfare to workforce services (“WWS”) business, substantially all of which was divested in the second quarter of fiscal 2006 (“WWS Divestiture”). Consolidated internal revenue growth for the second quarter was 4%. The Commercial segment grew 9% in total with 3% internal revenue growth. The Commercial segment accounted for 60% of revenues this quarter. The Government segment had 4% internal revenue growth and 10% total revenue growth,

      excluding the WWS Divestiture. The Government segment accounted for the remaining 40% of consolidated revenues this quarter.
    Diluted earnings per share was $0.72 for the second quarter of fiscal year 2007 and included $0.09 per diluted share of legal and other expenses related to the ongoing stock option investigations and shareholder derivative lawsuits and a $0.02 per diluted share gain on hedging instruments.
 
    Diluted earnings per share was $0.81 for the second quarter of fiscal year 2006 and included a $0.12 per diluted share net benefit related to the WWS Divestiture, restructuring and related asset impairment charges of $0.05 per diluted share, and a $0.03 per diluted share charge for legal settlements and related legal fees, and for legal fees associated with the previously announced unsolicited offer regarding a potential sale of the Company and the possible recapitalization of the Class B shares.
 
    Cash flow from operations was approximately $132 million, or 9% of revenues. Capital expenditures and additions to intangible assets were approximately $75 million, or 5% of revenues. Free cash flow during the second quarter was approximately $57 million. Our cash flow results included cash interest paid on debt, cash paid related to legal and other costs associated with the ongoing stock option investigations and shareholder derivative lawsuits, offset by cash interest income, totaling $65 million, or 5% of revenues.
 
    During the second quarter, we acquired Systech Integrators, Inc. for $65 million, plus contingent payments of up to $40 million based upon future performance. Systech, with trailing twelve months of revenue of approximately $61 million, is a premier partner of SAP Americas and will expand ACS’ existing SAP service offering with consulting and systems integration services.
 
    During the quarter, the Company signed contracts with $166 million of annual recurring revenue and total contract value of approximately $1.1 billion. We renewed $162 million of annual recurring revenue with total contract value of $553 million during the quarter.
Key year-to-date highlights for fiscal year 2007 include:
    Revenues for the six months ended December 31, 2006 were $2.8 billion, an increase of 10% compared to the first six months of the prior year, excluding the WWS Divestiture. Consolidated internal revenue growth for the first six months of fiscal year 2007 was 4%. The Commercial segment grew 10% in total with 5% internal revenue growth for the first six months of fiscal year 2007. The Government segment grew 10%, excluding the WWS Divestiture, with 3% internal revenue growth for the first six months of fiscal year 2007.
 
    Diluted earnings per share for the six months ended December 31, 2006 was $1.30. Reported results included $0.14 per diluted share of legal and other expenses related to the ongoing stock option investigations and shareholder derivative lawsuits, $0.04 per diluted share related to restructuring activities, $0.01 per diluted share related to a waiver fee on the Company’s credit facility, $0.01 per diluted share related to asset impairments and other charges, and $0.01 per diluted share gain on hedging instruments.

    Diluted earnings per share for the six months ended December 31, 2005 was $1.54 and included a $0.12 per diluted share net benefit related to the WWS Divestiture, restructuring and related asset impairment charges of $0.05 per diluted share, $0.04 per diluted share of compensation expense related to the departure of Jeffrey A. Rich, a former chief executive officer, and the Company’s assessment of risk related to the bankruptcies of certain airline clients, and a $0.03 per diluted share charge for legal settlements and related legal fees, and for legal fees associated with the previously announced unsolicited offer regarding a potential sale of the Company and the possible recapitalization of the Class B shares.
 
    Cash flow from operations for the first six months of fiscal year 2007 was $305 million, or 11% of revenues. Capital expenditures and additions to intangible assets were approximately $185 million, or 7% of revenues. Free cash flow was $119 million, or 4% of revenues. Our cash flow results included interest paid on our debt, cash paid related to legal and other costs associated with the ongoing stock option investigations and shareholder derivative lawsuits, offset by cash interest income, totaling $96 million or 3% of revenue.
 
    During the six months ended December 31, 2006, the Company signed contracts with $298 million of annual recurring revenue and total contract value of $1.6 billion. The Company renewed $468 million of annual recurring revenue with total contract value of $1.5 billion during the six months ended December 31, 2006.

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.
Total contract value — represents estimated total revenue over the term of the contract.
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 GAAP. However, the Company uses certain non-GAAP performance measures, including free cash flow and internal revenue growth to provide both management and investors a more complete understanding of the Company’s underlying operational results.
These non-GAAP measures are indicators management uses to provide additional meaningful comparisons between current results and prior results, and as a basis for planning and forecasting for future periods.
Internal revenue growth - is measured as total revenue growth less acquired revenue from acquisitions and revenues from divested operations. Acquired revenue from acquisitions is based on pre-acquisition normalized revenue of acquired companies. 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.

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)
