The Company's backlog of signed business orders at the end of the quarter was $18.7 billion, of which $5.6 billion was funded.

Forward Guidance

As a result of the Company's year-to-date performance, the Company has updated guidance for revenues and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share from continuing operations. The updated guidance, which is based on a 12-month period from January 2, 2016, to December 30, 2016, is as follows:

• Revenues of $7.0 billion to $7.1 billion versus the prior range of $6.8 billion to $7.0 billion;

• Adjusted EBITDA margins of 8.5% to 9.0%, unchanged from the previous range;

• Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share from continuing operations of $3.50 to $3.60, up from the previous range of $3.15 to $3.35; and

• Cash flows provided by operating activities from continuing operations at or above $275 million, unchanged from the previous range.

Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share excludes amortization of acquired intangible assets, impairment charges, restructuring expenses, acquisition and integration related costs, gains and losses on disposal of assets and businesses and adjustments to the income tax provision to reflect non-GAAP exclusions. See Leidos' non-GAAP financial measures and the related reconciliation included elsewhere in this release.
