Forward Guidance

Based on our strong performance year to date, we are narrowing our 2019 guidance range on revenue and raising as well as tightening the range of net income and diluted earnings per share as specified in the table below.

Measure	Fiscal 2019 Guidance
Revenue (billion)	$2.19 - $2.21
Net Income (million)	$96.9 - $97.7*
Diluted Earnings per Share	$2.41 - $2.43*
* Does not include a potential fourth quarter tax benefit in our tax provision that could result from the completion of an ongoing Company review of expenditures that qualify for a research and development tax credit.

ManTech Chief Financial Officer Judith L. Bjornaas said, "The excellent results in the quarter add to ManTech's consistent track record of outperforming operationally. I am particularly pleased with the strong profitability and robust cash flow in the quarter. We remain focused on driving value for our customers, employees and shareholders."
