million, up 16.5% from the $102.8 million posted for the prior year's second
quarter.
U.S. federal revenue for the quarter increased 13.8% to $440.9 million from
$387.3 million for the fiscal 1998 second quarter. The improved revenue came
from new contracts, increased task orders on numerous existing contracts, and
from an acquisition made during last year's fourth quarter.
For the quarter just ended, U.S. commercial revenue grew $64 million over the
same quarter last year. At $744 million, U.S. commercial revenues were up
9.5%, or 14.8% excluding last year's revenues from activities in our
telecommunications operations and collections unit which were subsequently
sold or phased out. Approximately half of the U.S. commercial growth was
provided by information technology outsourcing contracts. The remainder was
derived principally from demand for consulting and systems integration
activities and continued expansion within the financial services and healthcare
vertical markets.
In October, we announced the acquisition of a 51% interest in KPMG Peat
Marwick SA, a Paris-based management consulting and information technology
services firm. This significantly increases our capabilities in France and makes
our French operation one of the largest management and information
technology consultancies in that country. We will acquire the remainder of the
company, previously an independent firm and a member of the KPMG
international network, early next year.
So far this year we have announced $3.2 billion in international and U.S.
commercial and U.S. federal awards, and our prospects in all three
marketplaces are strong.
