Leidos, a joint spin-off of Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC),〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Fiscal Year 2013 annual report on Form 10-K )〕 is an American defense company headquartered in Reston, Virginia, that provides scientific, engineering, systems integration, and technical services. Leidos works extensively with the United States Department of Defense (4th largest DoD contractor FY2012), the United States Department of Homeland Security, and the United States Intelligence Community, including the National Security Agency, as well as other U.S. government civil agencies and selected commercial markets. On September 27, 2013, SAIC changed its name to ''Leidos'' and spun off a $4 billion government services and information technology company, which retains the name Science Applications International Corporation.〔〔 Before the split, Leidos employed 39,600 employees and reported $11.17 billion in revenue and $525 million net income for its fiscal year ended January 31, 2013,〔 making it number 240〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Industry Rankings )〕 on the Fortune 500 list. In 2014, Leidos reported US$ 5.06 billion in revenue.〔 As of March 2015, the company currently has 19,000 employees.〔 ==History== The company was founded by J. Robert "Bob" Beyster in 1969 in the La Jolla neighborhood of San Diego, California, as Science Applications Incorporated (SAI).〔Dr. J. Robert Beyster with Peter Economy, ''The SAIC Solution: How We Built an $8 Billion Employee-Owned Technology Company'', John Wiley & Sons (2007) p.xiii〕 SAIC conducted an initial public offering of common stock on October 17, 2006.〔(SAIC - News & Media - "SAIC, Inc. Announces Closing of Initial Public Offering" ). Investors.saic.com. Retrieved on August 17, 2013.〕 The offering of 86,250,000 shares of common stock was priced at $15.00 per share. The underwriters, Bear Stearns and Morgan Stanley, exercised overallotment options, resulting in 11.25 million shares. The IPO raised US$1.245B.〔 In September 2009 SAIC relocated its corporate headquarters to their existing facilities in Tysons Corner in unincorporated Fairfax County, Virginia, near McLean.〔("SAIC Moves Corporate Headquarters to McLean, Virginia" )〕 In 2012 SAIC was ordered to pay $550 million to the City of New York for overbilling the city over a period of seven years on the CityTime contract. In 2014 Gerard Denault, SAIC's CityTime program manager, and his government contact were sentenced to 20 years in prison for fraud and bribery related to that contract. In August 2012, SAIC announced its plans to split into two publicly traded companies. The company spun off about a third of its business, forming an approximately $4 billion-per-year service company focused on government services, including systems engineering, technical assistance, financial analysis, and program office support. The remaining part became a $7 billion-per-year IT company specializing in technology for the national security, health, and engineering sectors. The smaller company was led by Tony Moraco, who beforehand was leading SAIC’s ''Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance'' group, and the bigger one was led by John P. Jumper. The split has allowed both companies to pursue more business, which it could not pursue as a single company due to conflicts of interest. In February 2013, it was announced that the smaller spin-off company would get the name "Science Applications International Corporation" and would stay in the current headquarters, while the larger company would change its name to ''Leidos'', (created by clipping the word ''kaleidoscope'') and would move its headquarters to Reston.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Leidos Headquarters To Be In Reston, VA )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Leidos」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
