FALLS CHURCH, Va., Nov. 4, 2015 - CSC (NYSE: CSC) today reported results for the second quarter of fiscal year 2016.

“Second quarter results were in-line with our expectations," said Mike Lawrie, president and CEO. “Profitability again improved year-over-year in our commercial business and remained strong in our public sector business, and we delivered improved cash flow. During the quarter, we also completed the acquisitions of Fixnetix and Fruition Partners, which are consistent with our strategy of shifting our revenue mix to applications, consulting, and next-generation offerings with better growth, profitability, and cash flow. Finally, we remain on track to complete the separation of our U.S. public sector business, pay the $10.50 per share special dividend to shareholders, and complete the merger of our public sector business with SRA.”

Financial Highlights

Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations were $1.19 in the second quarter and included ($0.30) per share in separation, merger, and other transaction costs, ($0.01) per share in SEC settlement-related items, ($0.14) per share in real estate restructuring charges, and $0.38 per share from a tax valuation allowance benefit. Excluding these items, non-GAAP diluted earnings per share from continuing operations were $1.26, up 7 percent when compared with $1.18 in the second quarter of fiscal 2015.
Income from continuing operations before taxes was $176 million. Excluding the impact of certain items, non-GAAP income from continuing operations before taxes was $247 million compared with $245 million a year ago.
Operating income was $308 million. Operating income, adjusted for certain items, was $331 million and compares with $349 million in the prior year. Operating margin on the same basis was 12.2 percent, up from 11.3 percent in the prior year.
Income from continuing operations was $173 million for the second quarter. Excluding the impact of the items discussed above, non-GAAP income from continuing operations was $183 million, compared with $177 million in the prior year.
Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) was $204 million and included $48 million in separation, merger, and other transaction costs, $2 million in SEC settlement-related items, and $21 million in real estate restructuring charges. Adjusting for these items, EBIT was $275 million, and compares with $276 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2015, and EBIT margin was 10.1 percent, up from 9.0 percent in the prior year.
Year-to-date, net cash provided by operating activities was $441 million compared with $490 million in the prior year.

Global Business Services
GBS revenue of $891 million in the quarter compares with $1,003 million in the year ago quarter, a decline of 3.7 percent year-over-year in constant currency. The GBS revenue decline was driven by the ongoing repositioning of our consulting business and contract completions in our applications business. GBS operating margin, excluding the impact of certain items, was 12.8 percent, down slightly from 13.0 percent a year ago. New business awards for GBS were $0.7 billion in the second quarter.

Global Infrastructure Services
GIS revenue of $854 million in the quarter compares with $1,036 million in the year-ago quarter, a decline of 10.8 percent year-over-year in constant currency. The GIS revenue decline was driven by the impact of restructured contracts, other contract completions, and price-downs, which more than offset growth in next-generation offerings. GIS operating margin, excluding the impact of certain items, was 8.5 percent, up from 6.6 percent a year ago. New business awards for GIS were $0.7 billion in the quarter.

North American Public Sector
NPS revenue was $967 million in the second quarter, a decrease of 7.1 percent when compared with $1,041 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2015. The NPS revenue decline was driven by program completions and changes in task orders, which more than offset new work across all parts of the business. NPS operating margin, excluding the impact of certain items, was 16.6 percent, up from 15.4 percent in the prior year. New business awards for NPS were $1.5 billion in the quarter.

Returning Capital to Shareholders and Separation Update
During the second quarter, CSC returned $32 million to shareholders in common stock dividends. Separately, CSC today announced that its Board of Directors has approved proceeding with the previously announced separation of its U.S. public sector business under a new name, CSRA Inc., as well as the declaration of a special cash distribution of $10.50 in the aggregate per CSC share. The separation will occur through a one-for-one pro rata distribution of all CSRA shares to CSC stockholders on November 27, 2015 after market close.

CSC had 138,472,660 basic shares outstanding on October 2, 2015.

CSC management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors regarding the Company's financial condition and results of operations as they provide another measure of the Company's profitability and ability to service its debt, and are considered important measures by financial analysts covering CSC and its peers.

Management uses operating income to evaluate financial performance and it is one of the measures used in assessing management performance. One of the limitations associated with the use of operating income (as compared to reported earnings) is that it does not reflect the complete financial results of the Company. CSC compensates for these limitations by providing a reconciliation between operating income and income from continuing operations, before taxes. Management uses free cash flow as one of the factors in reviewing the overall performance of the business. Management compensates for the limitations of this non-GAAP measure by also reviewing the GAAP measures of operating, investing and financing cash flows.

Management uses non-GAAP income from continuing operations and non-GAAP EPS to evaluate the Company's results, excluding the impact of items that management believes are not indicative of the Company's operating performance. CSC compensates for the limitations of these non-GAAP measures by providing a reconciliation from non-GAAP results to reported results.

GAAP Reconciliations

Operating Income and Adjusted Operating Income
(preliminary and unaudited)

CSC defines operating income as revenue less costs of services, depreciation and amortization expense, restructuring costs and segment selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense. Operating Income, as defined by CSC, excludes corporate G&A, actuarial and settlement charges related to CSC's pension and other post-employment benefit (OPEB) plans, and separation and merger costs. Operating margin is defined as operating income as a percentage of revenue.

Adjusted operating income is computed by excluding from operating income the impact of the second quarter fiscal 2016 real estate restructuring charge and transaction costs associated with fiscal 2016 acquisitions.

A reconciliation of consolidated operating income to income from continuing operations, before taxes is as follows:

Earnings Before Interest and Taxes and Adjusted Earnings Before Interest and Taxes
(preliminary and unaudited)

Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) is defined as income from continuing operations less interest expense, interest income and income tax expense. EBIT margin is defined as EBIT as a percentage of revenue.

Adjusted EBIT is computed by excluding from EBIT the impact of certain items in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2016, including separation, merger, and other transaction costs, the gain on a business divestiture, SEC settlement-related items, and the real estate restructuring charge. Adjusted EBIT margin is computed as adjusted EBIT as a percentage of revenue.

Free Cash Flow
(preliminary and unaudited)

CSC defines free cash flow as equal to the sum of (1) operating cash flows, (2) investing cash flows, excluding business acquisitions, dispositions and investments (including short-term investments and purchase or sale of available for sale securities), and (3) payments on capital leases and other long-term asset financings.

Free cash flow is further adjusted for certain non-recurring cash flow items, such as (i) payments related to separation, merger, and transaction costs related to fiscal 2016 acquisitions, (ii) payments related to the fiscal 2015 fourth quarter special restructuring, (iii) SEC settlement-related payments, and (iv) benefit from the sale of NPS accounts receivables.

Exhibit 99.2

CSC Board Approves Proceeding with Spin-Off of U.S. Public Sector Business Under CSRA Inc. Name

Sets Record Date for Spin-Off and $10.50 Per Share Special Cash Dividend

Record date for Spin-Off and Special Dividend: November 18, 2015
Expected distribution date of CSRA shares: November 27, 2015, after market close
Expected payment date of $10.50 Special Dividend: November 30, 2015
On track to complete the merger with SRA on November 30, 2015

Falls Church, VA, Nov. 4, 2015—CSC (NYSE: CSC) today announced that its Board of Directors has approved proceeding with the previously announced separation of its U.S. public sector business under a new name, CSRA Inc., as well as the declaration of a special cash distribution of $10.50 in the aggregate per CSC share (the “Special Dividend”). The separation will occur through a one-for-one pro rata distribution of all CSRA shares to CSC stockholders.

Following its separation from CSC, CSRA is expected to complete its previously announced combination with SRA International (SRA) on November 30, 2015, subject to satisfaction of the conditions to the merger. The new company will officially change its name to CSRA Inc. upon completion of the combination.

“The vision we outlined in May – creating two pure-play leaders in the commercial and public sector markets – is becoming a reality,” said Mike Lawrie, president and CEO of CSC. “Today’s announcement marks another important milestone towards the completion of our business separation and the establishment of CSRA, a new leader in U.S. public sector IT services.”

Transaction Details

Subject to satisfaction of applicable conditions, the distribution of shares of common stock of CSRA is expected to occur on November 27, 2015, after the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), and the payment of the Special Dividend is expected to occur on November 30, 2015. The NYSE is scheduled to close at 1 p.m. ET on November 27, 2015.

In the distribution, CSC stockholders will receive one share of CSRA common stock for each share of CSC common stock held on November 18, 2015, the record date for the distribution. Following the distribution of CSRA shares, CSC and CSRA each will pay concurrent special cash dividends which, in the aggregate will total $10.50 per share. Of that $10.50 per share dividend, $2.25 will be paid by CSC and $8.25 will be paid by CSRA. Payment of each portion of the Special Dividend will be made to holders of CSC common stock on the record date who receive shares of CSRA common stock in the distribution.

Combination with SRA

The combination with SRA remains on track for completion on November 30, 2015 subject to satisfaction of the conditions to the merger. In connection with the completion of the merger, the common stock of SRA will be automatically converted into the right to receive $390 million in cash and CSRA common stock constituting approximately 15.32 percent of CSRA’s outstanding common stock. No portion of the Special Dividend will be payable on CSRA shares issued in the SRA merger.






NYSE Trading Details

Both CSC and CSRA will be listed on the NYSE. CSC common stock will continue to trade under the ticker symbol “CSC.” Shares of CSRA common stock will begin trading under the symbol “CSRA.”

Beginning on or about November 16, 2015 and continuing up to and through the distribution date, it is expected that there will be two markets in CSC common stock. Shares that trade in the “regular-way” market will be entitled to receive both the shares of CSRA common stock and the Special Dividend; shares that trade in the “ex-distribution” market will trade without the entitlements to shares of CSRA common stock or the Special Dividend. Shares of CSC in the “ex-distribution” market will trade under the ticker symbol “CSC WI.”

CSRA anticipates that “when-issued” trading will begin on or about November 16, 2015, and will continue up to and through the distribution date. Shares of CSRA in the “when-issued” market will trade under the symbol “CSRA.WI.” Subject to satisfaction of relevant conditions, “regular-way” trading in CSRA’s common stock is expected to begin on November 30, 2015, the first trading day following completion of the separation.

CSC shareholders who hold common stock on the record date and decide to sell any of their common stock before November 30, 2015 should consult with their stockbroker, bank or other nominee to understand whether the shares of CSC common stock will be sold with or without the entitlements to CSRA common stock or the Special Dividend.

Other Information

No action or payment is required by CSC shareholders to receive the shares of CSRA common stock or the Special Dividend. An Information Statement containing details regarding the distribution of the CSRA common stock, the Special Dividend and CSRA’s business and management following the separation and the merger with SRA will be available to CSC stockholders prior to the distribution date.

The distribution of shares of common stock of CSRA is expected to be tax-free to CSC stockholders for U.S. Federal income tax purposes, however the Special Dividend is not expected to be tax-free to CSC stockholders. CSC stockholders are urged to consult their tax advisors with respect to U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. tax consequences of the distribution and the Special Dividend.

The transfer agent and registrar for the CSRA common stock will be ComputerShare Trust Company, N.A. For questions relating to the transfer of shares, stockholders may contact ComputerShare via phone at +1-800-522-6645 or +1-201-680-6578 (international). If shares are held by a bank, broker or other nominee, stockholders should contact that institution directly.
References to CSRA herein mean Computer Sciences Government Services Inc. until the effectiveness of the name change, which is expected to occur upon the closing of the merger with SRA. Payment of the Special Dividend, the distribution of CSRA shares and the merger with SRA remain subject to certain conditions described in the preliminary information statement filed with CSRA’s Registration Statement on the SEC’s Form 10.
