Rhea-AI Filing Summary
Amentum Holdings, Inc. reported essentially flat quarterly revenue but sharply higher profitability. For the quarter ended April 3, 2026, revenue was $3,478 million, down 0.4% year over year, while operating income rose to $151 million, up 37.3%.
Net income attributable to common shareholders increased to $54 million from $4 million, with diluted EPS rising to $0.22 from $0.02. For the first six months, revenue declined 2.8% to $6,715 million, but net income grew to $98 million from $16 million, helped by lower amortization, reduced SG&A, higher equity earnings from joint ventures, and lower interest expense.
Backlog increased to $47.8 billion from $44.8 billion, and remaining performance obligations were $10.1 billion. Operating cash flow for the first six months was $89 million versus $167 million a year earlier. Total debt was $3,988 million and cash was $428 million. After quarter end, Amentum refinanced its credit facility, adding a $1,400 million Term Loan A, a $1,591 million Term Loan B, and increasing its revolver.

Insights
Earnings rise sharply on flat revenue, backlog and leverage remain key.
Amentum delivered stronger profitability despite essentially unchanged revenue. Quarterly revenue was $3,478 million (down 0.4%), but operating income climbed to $151 million and net income to common shareholders reached $54 million, a 1,250% increase year over year.
Drivers included lower SG&A, reduced amortization as certain intangibles fully amortized, higher equity earnings from joint ventures, and lower interest expense from term loan repayments. Segment data show Digital Solutions growing revenue while Global Engineering Solutions improved Adjusted EBITDA despite lower revenue.
Backlog rose to $47.8 billion, with funded backlog of $6.9 billion and remaining performance obligations of $10.1 billion. Debt remains sizable at $3,988 million, but the new Term Loan A and B facilities effective after April 24, 2026 extend maturities and adjust pricing. Operating cash flow declined to $89 million for the six months, so future filings will clarify whether this is timing-related or a sustained trend.

Key Terms

6 terms
Adjusted EBITDA financial
"The CODM evaluates the performance of our segments based on revenues and Adjusted EBITDA."
Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.
cost-plus-fee financial
"Cost-plus-fee | $ | 883 | $ | 1,104 | $ | 1,987"
Master Accounts Receivable Purchase Agreement financial
"we entered into a Master Accounts Receivable Purchase Agreement (“MARPA”) with MUFG Bank, Ltd."
A master accounts receivable purchase agreement is a standing contract that lets a company regularly sell its unpaid customer invoices to a buyer in exchange for immediate cash, with agreed rules about pricing, responsibilities, and how disputes are handled. For investors it matters because this arrangement speeds up cash flow and can reduce borrowing needs, but it also comes with fees, affects reported liabilities and credit risk, and can signal how a company finances its working capital.
Variable Interest Entity financial
"either •a Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”) that must be consolidated because the Company is the primary beneficiary"
A variable interest entity (VIE) is a company structure where one party controls another company’s operations and economic outcomes through contracts or special arrangements instead of owning a majority of its voting shares. For investors, VIEs matter because the controlling party’s financial results, debts and risks can appear in the controller’s reports even though ownership looks separate, so understanding VIEs helps assess true exposure, governance limits and transparency—like spotting a puppet controlled by strings rather than direct ownership.
remaining performance obligations financial
"As of April 3, 2026, we had a remaining performance obligations balance of $10.1 billion"
Remaining performance obligations are the work a company still needs to complete for its customers, like finishing a service or delivering a product. It’s important because it shows how much future income the company has coming in from current agreements, giving a clearer picture of its ongoing business.
cash flow hedges financial
"The Company entered into several interest rate swaps... that were designated as cash flow hedges"
A cash flow hedge is an accounting label companies use when they enter financial contracts—like currency or interest-rate agreements—to protect expected future cash payments or receipts from unpredictable moves. For investors, it signals that the company is trying to smooth out future cash variability (think of locking in a price to avoid surprises), which can reduce reported profit swings but also means the company has exposure to derivative instruments and their associated risks.

We conduct our business activities and report financial results as two
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company include the assets, liabilities, results of operations, comprehensive income and cash flows for the Company, including its wholly-owned subsidiaries and joint ventures that are majority-owned or otherwise controlled by the Company. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments and reclassifications (all of which are of a normal, recurring nature) that are necessary for the fair presentation of the periods presented. It is suggested that these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s latest annual report for the fiscal year ended October 3, 2025. The results of operations for the three and six months ended April 3, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any subsequent interim period or for the full fiscal year.
Note 2 — Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Accounting Standards Updates Issued but Not Yet Adopted
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, to enhance transparency and usefulness of income tax disclosures. This update requires disaggregated information about an entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. We plan to adopt ASU 2023-09 using the prospective approach beginning with our annual fiscal year 2026 financial statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, to enhance the transparency of certain expense disclosures. The update requires disclosure of specific types of expenses included in certain expense captions presented on the face of the consolidated statements of operations. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and may be applied on a prospective or retrospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impacts of the new standard on our financial statements.

Contract assets primarily relate to accruals for reimbursable costs and fees in which our right to consideration is conditional. Amounts related to a prior acquisition previously classified as long-term contract assets as of October 3, 2025 are presented as contract assets as of April 3, 2026.
During the three and six months ended April 3, 2026, we recognized revenues of $21 million and $148 million, respectively, compared with $8 million and $73 million of revenues during the three and six months ended March 28, 2025, respectively, that was included in Contract liabilities as of October 3, 2025 and September 27, 2024, respectively.
Note 5 — Sales of Receivables
In March 2024, we entered into a Master Accounts Receivable Purchase Agreement (“MARPA”) with MUFG Bank, Ltd., (the “Purchaser”) for the sale of certain designated eligible U.S. Government receivables. In December 2024, we amended the MARPA with the Purchaser to increase the maximum amount of eligible receivables that can be sold up to a maximum amount of $400 million. In March 2026, we amended the MARPA with the Purchaser to include the sale of certain eligible receivables and to make certain other confirming modifications. Under the MARPA, the Company can sell certain eligible receivables without recourse for any U.S. Government credit risk.
The Company's MARPA activity consisted of the following (in millions):

Note 7 — Income Taxes
The Company's effective tax rate was 30.8 % and 31.0 % for the three and six months ended April 3, 2026, respectively, and 91.7 % and 66.7 % for the three and six months ended March 28, 2025, respectively.
The most significant item contributing to the difference between the statutory U.S. federal corporate tax rate of 21.0% and the Company’s effective tax rate for the three and six months ended April 3, 2026 and March 28, 2025 was an increase in the valuation allowance against the deferred tax asset related to disallowed interest expense of $5 million and $9 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended April 3, 2026, and $17 million and $28 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended March 28, 2025.
On July 4, 2025, the One Big, Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was enacted, introducing several significant amendments to U.S. income tax legislation including the permanent restoration of EBITDA as the basis for computing business interest expense limitations and the immediate expensing of research expenditures. The legislation has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in 2025 and others implemented through 2027. We have incorporated these amendments into our fiscal year 2025 and 2026 income tax provisions, as applicable, which impacted the realizability of our deferred tax assets and valuation allowance assessment.

As amended, the Company’s senior secured credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) consisted of our term facility (“Term Loan”) maturing on September 27, 2031 and a $850 million revolving facility (“Revolver”) maturing on September 27, 2029, which included a $200 million letter of credit subfacility and a $100 million swingline subfacility. The interest rates applicable to the Term Loan were floating interest rates equal to an Alternate Base Rate (“ABR”) or Adjusted Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“Term SOFR”) plus an applicable margin based upon net leverage ratio. The Term Loan required quarterly principal amortization payments of $9 million, which commenced on March 31, 2025, with the remainder of the principal thereunder being due at maturity. As of April 3, 2026 and October 3, 2025, the available borrowing capacity under the Credit Facility was $769 million and $766 million, respectively, and included $81 million and $84 million, respectively, in issued letters of credit. As of April 3, 2026 and October 3, 2025, there were no amounts borrowed under the Revolver.
In August 2024, the Company completed an offering of $1,000 million in aggregate principal amount of 7.250 % senior notes due August 1, 2032 (the “Senior Notes”). Interest is payable on February 1 and August 1 of each year, which commenced on February 1, 2025.
13
The Credit Facility and the Senior Notes are guaranteed by substantially all of our wholly owned material domestic restricted subsidiaries, subject to customary exceptions set forth in the credit agreement and indenture, respectively.
Each of the credit agreement and indenture requires us to comply with certain representations and warranties, customary affirmative and negative covenants and, in the case of the Revolver, under certain circumstances, a financial covenant. We were in compliance with all covenants as of April 3, 2026.
Cash Flow Hedges
The Company utilizes derivative financial instruments to manage interest rate risk related to its variable rate debt. The Company’s objective is to manage its exposure to interest rate movements and reduce volatility of interest expense. The Company entered into several interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional value of $1.5 billion that were designated as cash flow hedges, in which the Company will pay at the fixed rate and receive payment at a floating rate indexed to the three-month term SOFR through maturity. The swaps mature at various dates through January 31, 2027. The change in fair value of the interest rate swaps is presented within accumulated other comprehensive income on our consolidated balance sheet and subsequently reclassified into interest expense and other, net on our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income in the period when the hedged transaction affects earnings.
Note 9 — Joint Ventures
The Company’s joint ventures provide services to customers including program management and operations and maintenance services. Joint ventures, the combination of two or more partners, are generally formed for a specific project. Management of the joint venture is typically controlled by a joint venture executive committee, comprised of representatives from the joint venture partners. The joint venture executive committee normally provides management oversight and controls decisions which could have a significant impact on the joint venture.
We account for joint ventures in accordance with ASC 810, Consolidation. The Company analyzes its joint ventures and classifies them as either:
•a Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”) that must be consolidated because the Company is the primary beneficiary or the joint venture is not a VIE and the Company holds the majority voting interest with no significant participative rights available to the other partners; or
•a VIE that does not require consolidation and is treated as an equity method investment because the Company is not the primary beneficiary or the joint venture is not a VIE and the Company does not hold the majority voting interest.
The following table presents selected financial information for our consolidated joint ventures that are VIEs as of April 3, 2026 and October 3, 2025:

The Company has an ownership share, generally ranging from 25 % to 50 %, in approximately 30 active joint ventures that were determined to be VIEs and are accounted for as equity method investments. Related party receivables due from our equity method investments were $58 million and $63 million as of April 3, 2026 and October 3, 2025, respectively. These receivables are a result of items purchased and services rendered by us on behalf of our equity method investments. We have assessed these receivables as having minimal collection risk based on our historic experience with these joint ventures and our inherent influence through our ownership interest. The related party revenues earned from our equity method investments was $65 million and $115 million for the three and six months ended April 3, 2026, respectively, and $45 million and $89 million for the three and six months ended March 28, 2025, respectively.
Many of our joint ventures only perform on a single contract. The modification or termination of a contract under a joint venture could trigger an impairment in the fair value of our investment in these entities. In the aggregate, our maximum exposure to losses was $216 million related to our equity method investments as of April 3, 2026.

Note 11 — Segment Information
We operate our business activities and report financial results as two
The Digital Solutions segment provides advanced digital and data-driven solutions including intelligence analytics, space system development, cybersecurity, and next generation IT across the federal government and commercial clients.
The Global Engineering Solutions segment provides large-scale environmental remediation, nuclear power solutions, platform engineering, sustainment and supply chain management across all seven continents for the U.S. government and allied nations.

Adjusted EBITDA is most comparable to net income attributable to common shareholders prepared based on GAAP. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income attributable to common shareholders adjusted for interest expense and other, net, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and certain discrete items that are not considered in the evaluation of ongoing operating performance. These discrete items include acquisition, transaction, and integration costs, utilization of certain fair market value adjustments assigned in purchase accounting, and stock-based compensation. While we believe Adjusted EBITDA is a useful metric in evaluating operating performance by allowing better evaluation of underlying segment performance and better period-to-period comparability, it is not a metric defined by GAAP and may not be comparable to non-GAAP metrics presented by other companies.
The following table reconciles segment Adjusted EBITDA to net income attributable to common shareholders:

Note 13 — Legal Proceedings and Commitments and Contingencies
The Company is involved in various claims, disputes and administrative proceedings arising in the normal course of business. Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines and penalties and other sources are recorded when it is probable that an unfavorable result and/or liability will be incurred and the cost of the unfavorable result or liability can be reasonably estimated. Management is of the opinion that any liability or loss associated with such matters, either individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s operations and liquidity.
17
Payments to the Company on cost-plus-fee contracts are provisional and are subject to adjustments upon audit by the Defense Contract Audit Agency (“DCAA”). In management’s opinion, audit adjustments that may result from audits not yet completed or started are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s operations and liquidity.
U.S. Government Investigations
We primarily sell our services to the U.S. Government. These contracts are subject to extensive legal and regulatory requirements, and we are occasionally the subject of investigations by various agencies of the U.S. Government who investigate whether our operations are being conducted in accordance with these requirements. Such investigations could result in administrative, civil or criminal liabilities, including repayments, fines or penalties being imposed on us, or could lead to suspension or debarment from future U.S. Government contracting. U.S. Government investigations often take years to complete and may result in adverse action against us. Any adverse actions arising from such matters could have a material effect on our ability to invoice and receive timely payment on our contracts, perform contracts or compete for contracts with the U.S. Government and could have a material effect on our operating performance. There are currently no investigations that are expected to have a material impact on our results of operations.
Note 14 — Subsequent Events
First Amendment to the Credit Agreement
On April 24, 2026, we entered into the first amendment to the Credit Facility. The amendment established a new $1,400 million senior secured term loan A facility (“Term Loan A”) due April 2031, amended the existing Term Loan, including a reduction in outstanding principal and revised terms, into a new $1,591 million senior secured term loan B facility (“Term Loan B”) due September 2031 and increased the Revolver by $150 million.
Both Term Loan A and Term Loan B require quarterly principal amortization payments. The Term Loan A interest rate per annum is, at our option, equal to either the ABR plus an interest rate margin of 0.25 % to 1.00 % or the Term SOFR plus an interest rate margin of 1.25 % to 2.00 % based on our first lien leverage ratio. The Term Loan B interest rate per annum is, at our option, equal to either the ABR plus a 0.75 % interest rate margin or the Term SOFR plus a 1.75 % interest rate margin.
The Revolver interest rate per annum is, at our option, equal to either the ABR or Canadian Prime Rate plus an interest rate margin of 0.25 % to 1.00 % or the Term SOFR, Daily Simple SOFR, EURIBOR, Daily Simple Sterling Overnight Index Average (“SONIA”) or Term Canadian Overnight Report Rate Average (“CORRA”) plus an interest rate margin of 1.25 % to 2.00 % based on our first lien leverage ratio.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the Amentum Holdings, Inc. unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, and the notes thereto, and other data contained elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The following discussion and analysis should also be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements, and notes thereto, and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 3, 2025. In addition, please see “Information Relating to Forward-Looking Statements” and “Item 1A. Risk Factors” within our Annual Report on Form 10-K for a discussion of the risks, uncertainties and assumptions associated with these statements.
References to “Amentum”, the “Company”, “we”, “our” or “us” refer to Amentum Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries unless otherwise stated or indicated by context.
Overview
We are a global advanced engineering and technology solutions provider to a broad base of U.S. and allied government agencies, and customers in international and commercial markets, supporting programs of critical national importance across energy and environmental, intelligence, space, defense, civilian and commercial end-markets. We offer a broad reach of capabilities including energy, environmental remediation, intelligence and counter threat solutions, data fusion and analytics, engineering and integration, advanced test, training and readiness, and citizen solutions. As a leading provider of differentiated technology solutions, we have built a repertoire of deep customer knowledge, enabling us to engage our customers across multiple capabilities and markets. Underpinned by a strong culture of ethics and safety, Amentum is committed to operational excellence and successful execution.
We conduct our business activities and report financial results as two reportable segments: Digital Solutions (“DS”) and Global Engineering Solutions (“GES”). The DS segment provides advanced digital and data-driven solutions including intelligence analytics, space system development, cybersecurity, and next generation IT across the federal government and commercial clients. The GES segment provides large-scale environmental remediation, nuclear power solutions, platform engineering, sustainment and supply chain management across all seven continents for the U.S. government and allied nations. The
18
presentation of financial results as two reportable segments is consistent with the way the Company operates its business and the manner in which our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), currently our Chief Executive Officer, manages the operations of the Company for purposes of allocating resources and assessing performance.
Budgetary and Regulatory Environment
In fiscal year 2025, we generated approximately 81% of our revenues from contracts with the U.S. federal government, either as a prime contractor or a subcontractor to other contractors engaged in work for the U.S. federal government. We carefully follow the U.S. federal budget, legislative and contracting trends and activities and evolve our strategies accordingly.
Following a government shutdown from October 2, 2025 to November 12, 2025 and a partial government shutdown from January 31, 2026 to February 3, 2026, final appropriations legislation for the U.S. federal government fiscal year (“GFY”) 2026 was passed on February 3, 2026, excluding the Department of Homeland Security which was shutdown on February 14, 2026, following the expiration of a continuing resolution (“CR”). On April 30, 2026, GFY 2026 funding for the Department of Homeland Security was passed, ending the partial shutdown. The final bill provided $900 billion for defense discretionary spending and $700 billion for non-defense discretionary spending. In April 2026, the GFY 2027 budget request was submitted to Congress, which, as compared to GFY 2026 enacted levels, would increase defense discretionary spending by $250 billion to $1.15 trillion and reduce non-defense discretionary spending by $25 billion to $675 billion. Additionally, the budget request assumes an increase in defense spending based on the defense reconciliation legislation currently pending in Congress, which would result in total GFY 2027 defense spending of $1.5 trillion, an increase of 43% from the GFY 2026 enacted level. While we view the budget environment as constructive and believe core funding sources for our primary customer-based markets will continue to experience bipartisan tailwinds, there can be no certainty about the level of funding for any particular GFY or that appropriations bills will be passed in a timely manner. During those periods of time when appropriations bills have not been passed and signed into law, government agencies operate under a CR, a temporary measure allowing the government to continue operations at prior year funding levels. Depending on their scope, duration, and other factors, CRs can negatively impact our business due to delays in new program starts, delays in contract awards decisions, and other factors.
We continue to monitor the actions of the administration which could result in a change to budgetary priorities or impact federal government procurement timing. Although a limited number of our contracts for the U.S. Government have been affected by changes in budgetary priorities by the administration, the impact has not been material to date. Decreases in, or delays in approving, the federal government’s budget, decreases in government spending on the types of programs that we support, delays in government contract awards, and pauses on government contracts on which we are currently performing could have an adverse impact on our business.
For a discussion of risks, see Part II. Item 1A. Risk Factors in this Report and Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Fiscal Year 2025 Form 10-K.
Market Environment
We believe our scale, breadth of capabilities, and depth of experience give us a robust understanding of our customers’ evolving needs. Given our portfolio diversity, we believe our total addressable market, and associated growth rate, is sufficient to support our strategic growth plans.
We believe Amentum’s capabilities are strategically aligned to well-funded, long-term priorities for the federal government, allied nations, and commercial customers. Specifically, we believe we are well positioned to continue to win new business driven by the following trends in our addressable market:
•Increasing demand for outsourced services and solutions with federal government customers;
•Increased global demand for reliable power sources and nuclear energy;
•Increased spending on government-wide modernization priorities;
•Increasing government focus on near-peer competitors and other nation state threats;
•Increasing discretionary spending for homeland security and regional activities in the Western hemisphere;
•Increasing discretionary spending for Indo-Pacific regional activities and initiatives;
•Increasing discretionary spending to improve the readiness of the defense industrial base; and
•Increased investment in advanced technologies (e.g., hypersonics, microelectronics, unmanned, electromagnetic spectrum).

Revenues — The decrease in revenues was primarily attributable to the transition of certain contracts from consolidated to unconsolidated joint ventures and fiscal year 2025 divestitures partially offset by the net impact of the expected ramp-down of historical programs and the ramp up of new contract awards and growth on existing programs.
Cost of revenues — The increase in cost of revenues was primarily attributable to the timing of expenses. As a percentage of revenues, cost of revenues was 90.1% for the three months ended April 3, 2026 compared to 89.5% for the three months ended March 28, 2025.
Selling, general, and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) — The decrease in SG&A was primarily attributable to synergies arising from the merger of the Jacobs Solutions Inc. (“Jacobs”) Critical Mission Solutions business and portions of the Jacobs Divergent Solutions business (and, together with the Critical Mission Solutions business, referred to as “CMS”). SG&A as a percentage of revenues decreased to 3.6% for the three months ended April 3, 2026 from 4.2% for the three months ended March 28, 2025 primarily due to the reduction in SG&A discussed above.
Amortization of intangibles — Amortization of intangibles primarily relates to the amortization of our backlog and customer relationship intangible assets, which decreased due to the full amortization of backlog associated with the CMS merger in the prior year.
Equity earnings of non-consolidated subsidiaries — Equity earnings of non-consolidated subsidiaries include our proportionate share of the income from equity method investments partially offset by the utilization of fair market value adjustments assigned to certain equity method investments based on the remaining period of performance for the related contract and increased primarily due to the transition of certain contracts from consolidated to unconsolidated joint ventures.
Interest expense and other, net — The decrease in interest expense and other, net was primarily due to the reduction to our term loan principal balance as compared to the three months ended March 28, 2025.
Provision for income taxes — The effective tax rate for the three months ended April 3, 2026 was 30.8%, as compared to 91.7% for the three months ended March 28, 2025. The change in the effective tax rate was primarily due to the recognition of a valuation allowance against a disallowed interest expense deferred tax asset relative to income before income taxes in the respective period.
Net income attributable to non-controlling interests — Net income attributable to non-controlling interests includes the utilization of fair market value adjustments assigned to certain non-controlling interests based on the remaining period of performance for the related contract partially offset by the minority interests in our consolidated joint ventures that are not wholly-owned and was consistent with the three months ended March 28, 2025.

Revenues — The decrease in revenues was primarily attributable to the transition of certain contracts from consolidated to unconsolidated joint ventures, impacts from the government shutdown, and fiscal year 2025 divestitures. The reduction in revenues was partially offset by the net impact of the expected ramp-down of historical programs and the ramp up of new contract awards and growth on existing programs.
Cost of revenues — The decrease in cost of revenues was primarily attributable to the decrease in revenues discussed above. As a percentage of revenues, cost of revenues was 90.0% for the six months ended April 3, 2026 compared to 89.5% for the six months ended March 28, 2025.
Selling, general, and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) — The decrease in SG&A was primarily attributable to synergies arising from the CMS merger. SG&A as a percentage of revenues decreased to 3.6% for the six months ended April 3, 2026 from 4.0% for the six months ended March 28, 2025 primarily due to the reduction in SG&A discussed above.

Equity earnings of non-consolidated subsidiaries — Equity earnings of non-consolidated subsidiaries include our proportionate share of the income from equity method investments partially offset by the utilization of fair market value adjustments assigned to certain equity method investments based on the remaining period of performance for the related contract and increased primarily due to the transition of certain contracts from consolidated to unconsolidated joint ventures during the six months ended April 3, 2026.
Interest expense and other, net — The decrease in interest expense and other, net was primarily due to the reduction to our term loan principal balance as compared to the six months ended March 28, 2025.
Provision for income taxes — The effective tax rate for the six months ended April 3, 2026 was 31.0%, as compared to 66.7% for the six months ended March 28, 2025. The change in the effective tax rate was primarily due to the recognition of a valuation allowance against a disallowed interest expense deferred tax asset relative to income before income taxes in the respective period.
Net income attributable to non-controlling interests — Net income attributable to non-controlling interests includes the utilization of fair market value adjustments assigned to certain non-controlling interests based on the remaining period of performance for the related contract partially offset by the minority interests in our consolidated joint ventures that are not wholly-owned and decreased due to the completion of certain contracts with follow-on contracts which transitioned to equity method investments.

The increase in revenues for the three and six months ended April 3, 2026, as compared to the three and six months ended March 28, 2025, was primarily attributable to the ramp up of new contract awards and growth on existing programs and partially offset by the fiscal year 2025 divestiture of Rapid Solutions.
Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenues decreased for the three and six months ended April 3, 2026 due to the divestiture and higher net program write-ups in the prior year quarter, partially offset by the increased revenue volume.

The decrease in revenues for the three months ended April 3, 2026, as compared to the three months ended March 28, 2025, was primarily attributable to the transition of certain contracts from consolidated to unconsolidated joint ventures, a fiscal year 2025 divestiture, and the expected ramp-down of historical programs. The reduction in revenues was partially offset by the ramp up of new contract awards and growth on existing programs. The decrease in revenues for the six months ended April 3, 2026, as compared to the six months ended March 28, 2025, was primarily attributable to the factors described above and from the government shutdown in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026.
The increase in Adjusted EBITDA for the three and six months ended April 3, 2026, as compared to the three and six months ended March 28, 2025, was primarily attributable to strong operational performance partially offset by the change in revenues described above.
Revenues by Contract Type
Our earnings and profitability may vary materially depending on changes in the proportionate amount of revenues derived from each type of contract. For a discussion of the types of contracts under which we generate revenues, see “Critical Accounting Policies” below. The following table summarizes revenues by contract type as a percentage of each reportable segment and total Amentum revenues, for the periods presented:

Backlog
The Company's backlog represents the estimated amount of future revenues to be recognized under negotiated contracts. The Company’s backlog includes unexercised option years and excludes the value of task orders that may be awarded under multiple award indefinite delivery / indefinite quantity (“IDIQ”) vehicles until such task orders are issued.
The Company’s backlog is either funded or unfunded:
•Funded backlog represents contract value for which funding is appropriated less revenues previously recognized on the contract.
22
•Unfunded backlog represents estimated values that have the potential to be recognized as revenues from negotiated contracts for which funding has not been appropriated and from unexercised contract options.
As of April 3, 2026, the Company had total backlog of $47.8 billion, compared with $44.8 billion as of March 28, 2025, an increase of $3.0 billion primarily due to new contract wins partially offset by revenue recognized on current contracts. Funded backlog as of April 3, 2026 was $6.9 billion.
The Company’s backlog, by reportable segment and in total, consisted of the following (in millions):
| April 3, 2026 | March 28, 2025 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| DS | GES | Total | DS | GES | Total | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Funded backlog | $ | 2,803 | $ | 4,114 | $ | 6,917 | $ | 2,467 | $ | 3,316 | $ | 5,783 | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| Unfunded backlog | 17,789 | 23,076 | 40,865 | 16,666 | 22,358 | 39,024 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Total backlog | $ | 20,592 | $ | 27,190 | $ | 47,782 | $ | 19,133 | $ | 25,674 | $ | 44,807 | |||||||||||||||||||||||
There is no assurance that all backlog will result in future revenues being recognized, and the backlog balance is subject to increases or decreases based on the execution of new contracts, contract modifications or extensions, deobligations, early terminations, and other factors.
Effects of Inflation
Given the nature of our operations and contract type mix, we expect the impact of inflation on our business may be limited for some of our contracts. During the six months ended April 3, 2026, 57% of our revenues was generated under cost-plus-fee type contracts that have limited inflation risk as they include provisions that adjust revenues to cover costs affected by inflation. The remainder of our revenues was generated under time-and-materials or fixed-price type contracts which we have historically been able to price in a manner that accommodates inflation and cost increases over the period of performance but changes in our expectations with respect to inflation rates or in the overall mix of our contract types could cause future results to differ substantially.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Existing cash and cash equivalents and cash generated by operations are our primary sources of liquidity, as well as sales of receivables under our Master Accounts Receivable Purchase Agreement (“MARPA”) and available borrowing capacity under the revolving credit facility provided for in the senior secured credit facility (the “Credit Facility”).
The Credit Facility consisted of our term facility (“Term Loan”) maturing on September 27, 2031 and a $850 million revolving facility (“Revolver”) maturing on September 27, 2029, which included a $200 million letter of credit subfacility and a $100 million swingline subfacility. The Term Loan required quarterly principal amortization payments of $9 million, which commenced on March 31, 2025, with the remainder of the principal thereunder being due at maturity. The interest rates applicable to the Term Loan were floating interest rates equal to an Alternate Base Rate or Adjusted Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus an applicable margin based upon our net leverage ratio. On April 24, 2026, we entered into the first amendment to the Credit Facility. The amendment established a new $1,400 million senior secured term loan A facility (“Term Loan A”) due April 2031, amended the existing Term Loan, including a reduction in outstanding principal and revised terms, into a new $1,591 million senior secured term loan B facility (“Term Loan B”) due September 2031 and increased the Revolver by $150 million. See Note 14 — Subsequent Events of the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements contained within this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In August 2024, the Company also completed an offering of $1,000 million in aggregate principal amount of 7.250% senior notes due August 1, 2032 (the “Senior Notes”).
The Credit Facility and the Senior Notes are guaranteed by substantially all of our wholly owned material domestic restricted subsidiaries, subject to customary exceptions set forth in the credit agreement and indenture, respectively.
Each of the credit agreement and indenture requires us to comply with certain representations and warranties, customary affirmative and negative covenants and, in the case of the Revolver, under certain circumstances, a financial covenant. We were in compliance with all covenants as of April 3, 2026.
We believe that the combination of internally generated funds, available bank borrowings, and cash and cash equivalents on hand will provide the required liquidity and capital resources necessary to fund on-going operations, capital expenditures, scheduled principal and interest payments on our debt obligations, scheduled lease payments, and other working capital requirements over at least the next twelve months.
Over the longer term, our ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations necessary to fulfill the obligations under the Credit Facility, Senior Notes and any other indebtedness we may incur will depend on our future financial performance which
23
could be affected by factors outside of our control, including, but not limited to, worldwide economic and financial market conditions.
See “Note 5 — Sales of Receivables” and “Note 8 — Debt” of the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements contained within this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Net cash provided by operating activities decreased by $78 million for the six months ended April 3, 2026 when compared to the six months ended March 28, 2025 as a result of a $38 million increase in cash earnings offset by $116 million in changes in operating assets and liabilities.
Net cash used in investing activities increased by $12 million for the six months ended April 3, 2026 when compared to the six months ended March 28, 2025 primarily due to contributions to equity method investments partially offset by returns of capital from equity method investments.
Net cash used in financing activities increased by $16 million for the six months ended April 3, 2026 when compared to the six months ended March 28, 2025 primarily due to the principal payments on our Term Loan, which were not required in first and second quarters of fiscal year 2025.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
There have been no significant changes to the Company’s critical accounting policies as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 3, 2025.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
See “Note 2 — Recent Accounting Pronouncements” of the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements contained within this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The remaining balance under the Term Loan, and any additional amounts that may be borrowed under the Revolver, are currently subject to interest rate fluctuations. We have the ability to manage these fluctuations in part through interest rate swaps on our variable rate debt. We have entered into floating-to-fixed interest rate swap agreements for an aggregate notional amount of $1.5 billion related to a portion of our variable rate debt. With every one percent fluctuation in the applicable interest rates, interest expense on our variable rate debt for the six months ended April 3, 2026 would have fluctuated by approximately $15 million.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of such date.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter ended April 3, 2026 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
