DLH Announces Acquisition of Social & Scientific Systems

ATLANTA, June 10, 2019 /PRNewswire/ — DLH Holdings Corp. (NASDAQ: DLHC) (“DLH” or the “Company”), a leading provider of innovative healthcare services and solutions to federal agencies, today announced that it has acquired privately-held Social & Scientific Systems (“SSS”) of Silver Spring, Maryland. The firm, with approximately 400 employees, is a leading public health service organization providing solutions in clinical and biomedical research, epidemiology, health policy, and program evaluation. SSS utilizes advanced research (including longitudinal studies), data analytics, and secure IT platform services to assist mission-critical public health agencies within the Department of Health & Human Services – including the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) – along with other healthcare-related institutions.

SSS was purchased for $70 million in cash, or $63 million net of transaction-related tax benefits worth $7 million on a net present value basis. DLH estimates that SSS will contribute approximately $65 million, on an annualized basis, to revenue of the Company going forward. The SSS backlog was approximately $346 million at closing, reflecting the long-term nature of its research and studies contracts. The funded component of acquired backlog was approximately $40 million. SSS will operate as a wholly-owned subsidiary of DLH Holdings Corp. and will be led by Kevin Beverly, its current President.

“This is an exciting addition to DLH and one that aligns perfectly with our strategy to expand the Company’s Public Health & Life Sciences focus area, diversifying our portfolio and bringing scale to support growth. In addition, we’ll augment our executive team with the high caliber leadership demonstrated by Kevin Beverly,” said Zachary Parker, DLH President & CEO. “With over 40 years in business, SSS is a nationally-recognized technology-enabled health research organization that collects, manages, and analyzes large-scale health data in support of critical public initiatives – complementing and broadening the markets we serve within the federal government.”

“I’m very pleased that SSS has found, in DLH, a great partner with which to continue delivering high quality health policy, data analytics, and public health services to federal agencies,” added Kevin Beverly, President of SSS. “Not only does DLH share a similar vision and corporate culture, but the Company is dedicated to improving the lives of citizens across the US and around the world. DLH has a reputation for providing a disciplined approach to achieving excellent customer service – including CMMI and ISO certifications – and valuing its employees. I look forward to working with Zach and his team as part of this dynamic new enterprise.”

DLH financed the acquisition through a new 5-year, $95 million, secured bank credit facility. First National Bank of Pennsylvania acted as agent, and F.N.B. Capital Markets and M&T Bank acted as joint lead arrangers. The facility is comprised of a syndicated term loan of $70 million and revolving credit facility of $25 million. The acquisition price and transaction expenses were funded by the term loan plus cash reserves of DLH, with the revolver available to support future cash needs. The interest rate applicable to borrowings is LIBOR plus a spread, based on the consolidated leverage ratio of DLH; at closing, the interest rate was 6.42%. Additional terms of the transaction and financing arrangements will be available in the Company’s SEC filings.

Advisors

KippsDeSanto & Co. served as financial advisor to DLH. Hogan Lovells US, LLP and Becker & Poliakoff LLP served as legal advisors to DLH as part of this transaction. The Avascent Group, Baker Tilly, and the Lockton Companies provided consulting services to DLH in connection with the acquisition.

 KippsDeSanto & Co. is pleased to announce the sale of its client, Kforce Government Solutions (“KGS” or the “Company”), a subsidiary of Kforce Inc., (NASDAQ: KFRC), to ManTech International Corporation (“ManTech”).

KGS is a leading provider of high-end technology and business consulting solutions focused on improving mission effectiveness and operational efficiencies for federal agency customers. With more than two decades of experience, KGS has developed extensive domain knowledge and past performance in critical areas that include: enhancing mission-critical enterprise-wide systems and architectures via DevOps and Cloud migration; improving and automating essential business functions; developing data management strategies and applying analytics to business operations; and sustaining augmented financial reporting capabilities and performance.

Additional customers include Defense Threat Reduction Agency (“DTRA”), U.S. Air Force, and Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (“DARPA”).

In 2018, KGS realized ~$98M of revenue, (which represented ~10% growth over 2017) and had ~$480M of backlog at the time of sale. ManTech paid $115M, or ~12x 2018 EBITDA for KGS. The acquisition expands ManTech’s presence within the VA and provides access to T4NG, as well as adding key customers and capabilities.

We believe this transaction demonstrates key trends in the government technology services M&A environment:

• Prime, full & open positions on key vehicles, such as T4NG, continue to drive buyer interest and premium valuations
• Buyers remain interested in well-positioned companies with strong backlog and financial momentum
• Both buyers and sellers continue to gain value from corporate divestitures

ManTech Completes Acquisition of KGS from Kforce

April 01, 2019 — ManTech completed its acquisition of KGS, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Kforce, Inc. Fairfax, Va.-based KGS provides technology solutions, transformation management, data management and analytics in support of federal health and defense missions. KGS has built a strong legacy of success with its customers particularly within the VA. The acquisition adds over 500 highly skilled employees to the ManTech team. In 2018, KGS generated approximately $98 million of revenue and has profitability comparable to ManTech.

The transaction does not include TraumaFX, Kforce’s federal government product business. Kforce is exploring strategic alternatives for that business. The operating results of KGS and TraumaFX are being reported as discontinued operations in the first quarter of 2019.

The combination will substantially increase ManTech’s footprint at the VA and enable ManTech to deliver services through the VA’s T4NG program. The T4NG program is a 10-year indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (“IDIQ”) contract awarded by the VA Technology Acquisition Center (“TAC”) to help the VA transform its information technology programs.

ManTech President and CEO Kevin M. Phillips stated: “This acquisition is consistent with ManTech’s targeted federal civilian expansion strategy. We are pleased to welcome KGS’ talented employees, differentiated capabilities and important customers.”

KGS CEO Maureen Coyle stated: “We are thrilled to become a part of ManTech. This strategic combination will help us better meet our clients’ needs by broadening and deepening our solution offerings. Additionally, our cultures are well aligned, and our employees will benefit from expanded professional development opportunities.”

Kforce chairman and CEO David L. Dunkel stated: “We are excited for our KGS management team and associates to join forces with ManTech, which we expect will enhance KGS’s competitive positioning. The sale of KGS is the final step in our strategy to narrow our focus to domestic professional and technical staffing services and solutions.”

David M. Kelly, Kforce’s Chief Financial Officer, stated: “We expect to use the significant majority of the proceeds from this transaction for share repurchases and are pleased to announce that our Board of Directors approved an increase in our share buy-back authorization to $150.0 million. In anticipation of the closing of this transaction, we repurchased approximately 430 thousand shares for $14.6 million in the first quarter of 2019.”

KippsDeSanto & Co. Advises MacAulay-Brown, Inc. on its Sale to Alion Science and Technology Corporation

KippsDeSanto & Co. is pleased to announce the sale of its client, MacAulay-Brown, Inc. (“MacB” or the “Company”) to Alion Science and Technology Corporation (“Alion”), a portfolio company of Veritas Capital (“Veritas”).

With its national capital headquarters in Vienna, VA and its corporate headquarters in Dayton, OH, MacB has established decades long customer relationships while providing advanced engineering solutions in mission critical, high-barrier-to-entry  areas of National Security across the Department of Defense (“DoD”), the Intelligence Community (“IC”), and various Special Operations Commands (“SOCOM”).  MacB’s differentiated engineering solutions portfolio includes Research, Development, Testing, and Evaluation (“RDT&E”); cyber tools and operations, secure cloud engineering, and data analytic tools development and deployment; cybersecurity – both offensive and defensive; and rapid prototype and quick-response production / manufacturing / integration.

Furthermore, the Company leverages its national network of integrated technical laboratories, Sensitive Compartmented Information Facilities (“SCIFs”), and its next-generation big data platform (“BDP”) to support the entire life-cycle of high value big data solutions from development through fielding.  In a highly competitive government services industry, MacB’s high-barrier-to-imitation solution offerings, in combination with Alion’s, position the combined companies for continued growth in areas of national security mission significance.

Alion’s acquisition of MacB is a natural fit that enhances its technology and NextGen engineering capabilities, including “emerging technologies” in electronic warfare, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and cloud solutions; augments highly cleared customer access and Special Access Programs (“SAP”) contract concentration; and provides increased scale anchored by MacB’s revenue growth trajectory, contract win rates, and book to bill ratio.

We believe this transaction demonstrates several key trends in the federal M&A environment:

• Buyers are focusing on targets with entrenched positioning, including sole source contracts, longstanding incumbency, and customer intimacy, as well as well-funded customers and highly cleared mission-critical programs
• Highlights the demand for a rare asset with the complete suite of value drivers: scale, priority DoD / IC customer access, Full and Open (“F&O”) and sole source prime contracts, a proven leadership team, an established growth trajectory, Intellectual Property (“IP”), and differentiated capabilities
• Premiums are placed on acquisition targets that provide complementary solutions within an expanded customer footprint, particularly within the growing National Security / DoD end markets
• With today’s robust capital markets, private equity – via new platforms and add-ons to existing portfolio companies – are successfully competing against larger public strategics even for the most desirable assets
