Full Year 2002

ManTech reported revenue for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2002 of $500.2 million. The 15.9% increase over 2001 was attributable primarily to increased volume of work under existing contracts and revenue from recent acquisitions. $23.7 million in revenue came from ManTech Aegis Research Corporation since its acquisition by ManTech on August 5, 2002, and ManTech CTX Corporation added $1.6 million after its acquisition on December 11, 2002.

ManTech's core enterprise, excluding acquisitions, had revenue of $474.9 million in 2002, reflecting organic growth over 2001 of 10.1%. Growth in the service areas of secure systems and infrastructure solutions and information technology solutions contributed significantly to the increased revenue, especially expanded IT and security work for the U.S. Army's Communication and Electronics Command in Europe and support for various Department of State programs.
