Acquisition builds ManTech's presence in the healthcare IT market

FAIRFAX, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- ManTech International Corporation (NAS: MANT) has completed the acquisition of ALTA Systems, Inc. of Fairfax, Va., an Information Technology (IT) and professional services company with valuable applications in healthcare systems and capital planning.

ALTA provides a broad range of IT and professional services to government and private industry in three major practice areas: capital planning and investment control; system design, development and operation; and fraud detection and statistical analysis.

The acquisition will enable ManTech to deliver technology services through ALTA's prime position on the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Enterprise Systems Development (ESD) contract, an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ) contract vehicle with a $4 billion ceiling and period of performance through May 2018.

"This acquisition is consistent with our strategy to steadily expand our service offering in the growing healthcare market," said ManTech Chairman and Chief Executive Officer George J. Pedersen. "ManTech will continue to pursue acquisition opportunities that help us drive organic growth and support our customers' critical missions. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) will require significant investment in IT systems and processes. With the acquisition of ALTA, ManTech is better positioned to help government programs and healthcare providers meet their responsibilities to provide efficient and comprehensive health care." ALTA will become part of ManTech's existing health care business.

ALTA CEO Cindy Perlberg added, "We are proud to become part of a company like ManTech, which has such a strong record and trusted name in IT. Our customers will benefit from the broader service offering of the combined company and our employees will benefit from expanded professional development opportunities."

ManTech used available cash to finance the acquisition. It does not expect the transaction to have a material impact on its 2013 financial results.
