RESTON, Va., Jan. 9, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Leidos Holdings, Inc. (Leidos) (NYSE: LDOS), a global science and technology company, has scheduled a conference call for Thursday, February 23, 2017, at 8:00 AM ET to announce its fourth quarter and full year 2016 financial results for the period ending Friday, December 30, 2016.

Additionally, the company announced that, subject to market conditions, it is seeking to reprice the Leidos Innovations Corporation's $1.13 billion Term Loan B maturing in August 2023.
