10-Q
Booz Allen Hamilton Holding Corporation reported lower revenue but stable profitability for the quarter and nine months ended December 31, 2025 amid a slowed U.S. government procurement environment and a government shutdown. Quarterly revenue fell 10% to $2,620 million and year-to-date revenue declined 6% to $8,434 million, reflecting reduced headcount, lower billable expenses, and fewer subcontractor costs.
Operating income dropped to $230 million for the quarter and $770 million year-to-date, with margins compressing as the company absorbed $61 million of severance and related charges tied to a cost management initiative targeting about $150 million in annual savings. Despite lower pretax income, quarterly net income rose modestly to $200 million, helped by a favorable tax benefit that drove a negative effective tax rate, while nine‑month net income was $646 million.
The company ended the period with $7,051 million in total assets, $6,026 million in liabilities, and $1,025 million of stockholders’ equity. Liquidity remained strong with $882 million of cash and the full $1.0 billion revolving credit facility available, alongside long‑term debt of $3,857 million. Backlog increased slightly to $38,456 million, including $10.5 billion of remaining performance obligations, of which about 65% is expected to convert to revenue over the next 12 months.
Positive
- Operating cash flow remained strong at $801 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2025, slightly above the prior-year period despite lower revenue and profit.
- Total backlog increased to $38,456 million, including $10.5 billion of remaining performance obligations, providing multi‑year revenue visibility.
- Liquidity was robust with $882 million in cash and $1.0 billion of undrawn revolver capacity, supporting ongoing dividends and share repurchases.
- A favorable tax outcome, including reserve reductions and increased research and development credits and Foreign Derived Intangible Income deductions, drove a quarterly effective tax rate of (7.0)%.
Negative
- Quarterly revenue declined 10% to $2,620 million and nine‑month revenue fell 6% amid a slowed procurement and funding environment and a government shutdown.
- Operating income dropped 21% for the quarter and 30% year-to-date, with operating margin compressing from 12% to 9% year-to-date versus the prior year.
- The company incurred $61 million in severance and related charges tied to cost management and restructuring initiatives, reflecting pressure to align its cost base with demand.
- Federal budget uncertainty, potential government shutdowns, and new executive orders affecting defense contractors introduce additional risk to funding, awards, and capital return flexibility.

2. Basis of Presentation
Investments
As of December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2025, respectively, the total of equity and other investments related to unconsolidated entities included in other long-term assets of the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet were $113 million and $90 million.
Accounting Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, as well as the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements or during the relevant reporting periods (as applicable). The Company bases its estimates on historical and forward-looking assumptions that it believes are reasonable and appropriate. Actual results may differ materially from those estimates. Estimates are used for, but not limited to, revenue recognition including the profitability of long-term contracts and cost accruals, the provision for claimed costs, fair value measurements, the valuation and expected lives of acquired intangible assets, incentive compensation, income taxes including reserves for uncertain tax positions, postretirement obligations and contingencies. See Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2025 for further details on significant estimates and assumptions used.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The standard includes amendments that enhance annual income tax disclosures, primarily through standardization and disaggregation of rate reconciliation categories and income taxes paid by jurisdiction. The Company is required to adopt this standard in its Fiscal 2026 Form 10-K and determined this standard does not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which is intended to enhance transparency into the nature and function of certain expenses as specified by the ASU. The guidance does not change the expense captions an entity presents on the face of the income statement; rather, it requires public business entities to provide disaggregated disclosures of certain expense captions in the notes to the financial statements. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, and can be applied retrospectively or prospectively. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this update; however, its adoption will affect only the Company’s disclosures, with no impacts to its results of operations or financial condition.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software, to modernize the accounting for and disclosure of internal-use software costs. The guidance removes all references to project stages, defines the threshold to begin capitalizing costs, and clarifies the disclosure requirements of capitalized software costs. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim periods within those fiscal years, and can be applied retrospectively, prospectively, or on a modified transition approach. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this update.

Performance Obligations
Remaining performance obligations represent the transaction price of exercised contracts for which work has not yet been performed, irrespective of whether funding has or has not been authorized and appropriated as of the date of exercise. Remaining performance obligations exclude negotiated but unexercised options, the unfunded value of expired contracts, and certain variable consideration that was determined to be constrained.
As of December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2025, the Company had $10.5 billion and $9.5 billion of remaining performance obligations, respectively. We expect to recognize approximately 65 % of the remaining performance obligations at December 31, 2025 as revenue over the next 12 months, and approximately 70 % over the next 24 months. The remainder is expected to be recognized thereafter.

Booz Allen Hamilton Inc. (“Booz Allen Hamilton”), Booz Allen Hamilton Investor Corporation, and certain wholly owned subsidiaries of Booz Allen Hamilton are parties to a Credit Agreement dated as of July 31, 2012, as amended, which provided Booz Allen Hamilton with a $1,464 million Term Loan and a $1.0 billion revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), with a sub-limit for letters of credit of $200 million as of December 31, 2025.
The senior notes due 2035, senior notes due 2033, senior notes due 2029 and senior notes due 2028 (together, the “Senior Notes”) were issued by Booz Allen Hamilton in four separate and distinct tranches, which all bear interest at specified rates and have individual and separate maturity dates. All Senior Notes’ indentures are guaranteed by Booz Allen Holding Corporation or certain of its subsidiaries and contain certain covenants, events of default and other customary provisions.
The Company occasionally borrows under the Revolving Credit Facility for our working capital needs. There were no borrowings during the nine months ended December 31, 2025 and as of both December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2025, respectively, there was no
As of December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2025, Booz Allen Hamilton was in compliance with all financial covenants associated with its debt. For further information on the Company’s debt, including material terms, conditions, restrictions and redemption options, see Note 10, “Debt,” of the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in the fiscal 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
9. Income Taxes
The Company’s effective income tax rates were (7.0 )% and 24.7 % for the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and (1.6 )% and 24.0 % for the nine months ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Our effective tax rates for these periods differ from the federal statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to the inclusion of state and foreign income taxes and permanent rate differences, which are predominantly related to certain executive compensation and the accrual of reserves for uncertain tax positions, offset by research and development tax credits, excess tax benefits for employee share-based compensation, and the Foreign Derived Intangible Income deduction. During the three months ended December 31, 2025, the Company recognized a $57 million tax benefit, in conjunction with the filing of the fiscal 2025 tax return, driven primarily by a change in estimate resulting in an increase in the research and development tax credit and the Foreign Derived Intangible Income deduction.
As of December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2025, the Company recorded $78 million and $142 million, respectively, of reserves for uncertain tax positions (“UTPs”) primarily related to research and development tax credits. The UTP reduction during the nine months ended December 31, 2025 is primarily related to an $86 million adjustment from the completion of Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) examination procedures of the Company's amended federal income tax returns through fiscal year 2021 recorded in the first quarter. The Company also accrued $23 million of interest (net of tax effect) on the related long-term receivable for the refund requested in the amended returns. Due to the magnitude of the refund requested in the amended returns, the case will be referred to the Joint Committee on Taxation (the “JCT”) for further evaluation, as required by law for tax refunds or reductions exceeding $5 million. While the JCT has not yet reviewed this case, management does not anticipate that the resolution of this review will have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

As of December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2025, the Company recorded long-term income tax receivables of $176 million, including interest, and $152 million, respectively, which represents the amended U.S. federal return refund claims related to the audits referenced above and remains classified as other long-term assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as the case is subject to JCT review.
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBB”) was enacted in the U.S. The OBBB includes significant provisions, such as the permanent extension of certain expiring provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, restoration of favorable tax treatment for certain business provisions including the expensing of domestic research and development expenditures, and modifications to the international tax framework. The Company has incorporated the impact of the new legislation into its year-to-date effective tax rate and continues to assess the impact on the consolidated financial statements.
10. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss

| Total Liabilities | $ | $ | $ | $ | $ | $ | |||||||||||||||||||||||
The Company did not have any Level 3 assets or liabilities as of December 31, 2025 or March 31, 2025.
Derivatives
The Company utilizes interest rate derivative financial instruments, which were designated as cash flow hedges, to manage its exposure to interest rate risk related to its variable rate debt and reducing volatility of interest expense as the variable-to-fixed interest rate swaps effectively convert a portion of the variable rate debt into fixed interest rate debt. The Company’s outstanding interest rate swaps have a total notional amount of $350 million as of December 31, 2025 and mature from June 30, 2026 to June 30, 2027.
The Company’s interest rate swaps are considered over-the-counter derivatives which are recorded in the condensed consolidated balance sheet on a gross basis at estimated fair value. Fair value is estimated based on the present value of future cash flows using a model-derived valuation that uses Level 2 observable inputs such as interest rate yield curves. The changes in the fair value of interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges are recorded in AOCI, net of taxes, and are subsequently reclassified into interest expense, net in the period that the hedged forecasted interest payments are made on the Company's variable-rate debt. Over the next 12 months, the Company estimates that approximately $2 million will be reclassified as an increase to interest expense. Cash flows associated with periodic settlements of interest rate swaps are classified as operating activities in the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows.
Deferred Compensation Plans
Investments in this category consist primarily of mutual funds whose fair values are determined by reference to the quoted market price per unit in active markets multiplied by the number of units held without consideration of transaction costs. These assets are recorded in other long-term assets and represent investments held in a consolidated trust to fund the Company's non-qualified deferred compensation plan, which is recorded in other long-term liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
As of December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2025, the Company's cash and cash equivalents presented on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets include the money market funds disclosed in the table above. As of both December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2025, the fair value of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents approximated its carrying value.
Long-term Debt
The Company's long-term debt is carried at amortized cost and fair value is disclosed on a quarterly basis. The estimated fair values of debt are determined using quoted prices or other market information obtained from recent trading activity of the debt in markets that are not active (Level 2 inputs). The fair value is corroborated by prices derived from the interest rate spreads of recently completed leveraged loan transactions of a similar credit profile, industry, and terms to that of the Company. The fair value of the Senior Notes are determined using quoted prices or other market information obtained from recent trading activity in the high-yield bond market (Level 2 inputs). The estimated fair value of long-term debt as of December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2025 was $3,970 million and $3,954 million, respectively.

Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements
As of December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2025, the total of our investments that are accounted for at fair value on a non-recurring basis under the measurement alternative were $107 million and $85 million, respectively. While these assets are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis, they are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances (e.g., observable price changes or impairment).
12. Commitments and Contingencies
Government Contracting Matters - Provision for Claimed Costs
U.S. government contracts and subcontracts are subject to extensive legal and regulatory requirements. From time to time and in the ordinary course of business, agencies of the U.S. government, including the Defense Contract Audit Agency (“DCAA”), audit the Company’s claimed costs and conduct inquiries and investigations of our business practices with respect to government contracts to determine whether the Company's operations are conducted in accordance with these requirements and the terms of the relevant contracts.
As of December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2025, the Company had recorded liabilities of approximately $247 million and $245 million, respectively, for estimated adjustments to claimed costs based on its historical DCAA audit results, including the final resolution of such audits with DCMA, for claimed costs incurred subsequent to fiscal 2011.
Investment Commitments
The Company has committed to invest up to $400 million as a limited partner in a venture capital fund that focuses on late-stage venture capital investments (the “Fund”). The commitment is subject to capital calls to be funded over the Fund’s 10-year term, which may be extended in accordance with the Fund’s governing documents. The Company expects to fund at least $76 million in the fourth quarter, and that future capital calls will be concentrated in the earlier years of the Fund's operation as the Fund executes on its expected investment strategy. The Company accounts for its interest in the Fund under the equity method and the balance will be recorded in other long-term assets on the consolidated balance sheets.
Leases Not Yet Commenced
On November 12, 2025, the Company entered into two 15 -year lease agreements for corporate office space in Reston, Virginia that have not yet commenced as of December 31, 2025. The Company plans to relocate its headquarters to the office space in the fall of 2027, dependent upon the timing of the completion of various tenant improvements. Under these lease agreements, which were entered into by Booz Allen Hamilton and are guaranteed by the Company, the estimated total undiscounted base lease payments are $222 million and the agreements provide for up to $57 million in tenant improvement allowances.
Litigation
Our performance under U.S. government contracts and compliance with the terms of those contracts and applicable laws and regulations are subject to continuous audit, review, and investigation by the U.S. government, which may include such investigative techniques as subpoenas or civil investigative demands. Given the nature of our business, these audits, reviews, and investigations may focus, among other areas, on various aspects of procurement integrity, labor time reporting, sensitive and/or classified information access and control, executive compensation, and post-government employment restrictions. We are not always aware of our status in such matters, but we are currently aware of certain pending audits and investigations involving labor time reporting, procurement integrity, and classified information access. In addition, from time to time, we are also involved in legal proceedings and investigations arising in the ordinary course of business, including those relating to employment matters, relationships with customers and contractors, intellectual property disputes, and other business matters. These legal proceedings seek various remedies, including claims for monetary damages in varying amounts, none of which are considered material, or are unspecified as to amount. Although the outcome of any such matter is inherently uncertain and may be materially adverse, based on current information, we do not expect any of the currently ongoing audits, reviews, investigations, or litigation to have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
13. Supplemental Condensed Consolidated Financial Information
Severance and Related Charges
The Company incurs costs related to employee severance and related charges including stock-based compensation, employee benefits and payroll taxes related to employees terminated pursuant to cost management initiatives. The Company records these costs when it is probable that employees will be entitled to termination benefits and the amounts can be reasonably estimated.

The Company’s cost management initiative and restructuring of the Civil business in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 resulted in $36 million of severance and related expenses. In the third quarter of fiscal 2026, the Company began actions to reduce costs as a result of the slowed procurement and funding environment. For the three months ended December 31, 2025, the Company recorded severance and related charges of $25 million related to this initiative. Severance and related charges included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025, are summarized below:

Divestiture
On November 30, 2025, the Company completed a transaction for the sale of a group of contracts, as well as the assets and liabilities associated with those contracts and the workforce that provides services under those contracts. As a result of this transaction, the Company recognized a pre-tax gain of $7 million which is reflected in other income (expense), on the condensed consolidated statement of operations. The consideration for the sale is subject to customary working capital adjustments and contingent consideration, which may impact the amount of the gain ultimately recognized.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis is intended to help the reader understand our business, financial condition, results of operations, and liquidity and capital resources. You should read this discussion in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes contained elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, or Quarterly Report.
The statements in this discussion regarding industry outlook, our expectations regarding our future performance, liquidity and capital resources, and other non-historical statements in this discussion are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, the risks and uncertainties described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 23, 2025, or Annual Report, and under Part II, “Item 1A. Risk Factors,” and “— Special Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements” of this Quarterly Report. Our actual results may differ materially from those contained in or implied by any forward-looking statements.
Our fiscal year ends March 31 and, unless otherwise noted, references to years or fiscal are for fiscal years ended March 31. See “—Results of Operations.”

Our work is designed to protect soldiers in combat, secure our national infrastructure, enable enhanced digital services, and improve government efficiency to achieve better outcomes. Drawing on our deep expertise and leading position as a cybersecurity provider, we bring advanced tradecraft to commercial customers across industries, including financial services, health and life sciences, energy, and technology.
Factors and Trends Affecting Our Results of Operations
Our results of operations have been, and we expect them to continue to be, affected by the following factors, which may cause our future results of operations to differ from our historical results of operations discussed under “—Results of Operations.” As a result, we began actions in the third fiscal quarter to reduce costs by approximately $150 million annually.
U.S. Budgetary and Regulatory Environment
The U.S. continues to face an uncertain and evolving budgetary and regulatory environment, and we expect this uncertainty will continue. Our business performance is affected by the overall level of U.S. government spending and the alignment of our offerings and capabilities with the spending priorities of the U.S. government.
The U.S. government is driving changes in the structure and priorities of U.S. government agencies and the U.S. government is currently in the process of reviewing spending across U.S. government agencies to ensure it aligns with the administration’s priorities of maximizing governmental efficiency and productivity. We have been, and will continue to be, subject to these reviews, and we have had, and may in the future have, certain of our contracts impacted, reduced or canceled as a result of these reviews. We have also experienced price adjustments and renegotiations prior to option exercise of certain of our contracts as a result of these reviews and may in the future continue to experience such adjustments. Further, we are, and may in the future be, subject to customer mandates to formulate additional methods by which to achieve efficiencies in providing our services, and we remain in ongoing discussions with various U.S. government departments and agencies in relation to cost reductions and other potential contract modifications. There can be no assurance that these reviews will not ultimately have a material adverse impact on our business and financial performance.
The administration is putting in place a number of Executive Orders and actions that have and could continue to affect our business. U.S. government agencies are also undertaking their own independent reviews of their contract portfolios and reviewing future procurements in response to recent Executive Orders focused on efficiency in government procurement. At the same time that the scrutiny is increasing, there have been reductions in personnel at U.S. government agencies with which we do business. These reductions in personnel, along with the changing regulatory environment, have led to a slowed procurement environment, with delays in the granting of new contract awards, increased willingness by agencies to not spend government money, delays in the processing of payments by government payment offices, as well as increased processing times for security clearances and other governmental consents. This slowed procurement environment has resulted in a substantial reduction in the ordinary end of government fiscal year funding surge when compared to prior fiscal years and, in the aggregate, has resulted in negative impacts to our business and financial performance.

We have observed preparatory steps by the U.S. government to implement two specific Executive Orders that are intended to (i) simplify and accelerate the procurement process through a review and restructuring of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (“FAR”), and its supplements and (ii) modernize defense acquisitions by promoting commercial solutions, innovative acquisition authorities, and other existing streamlined processes. The FAR Council, the body responsible for issuing and maintaining the FAR, completed the preliminary stage of FAR reform efforts at the end of September 2025. The Office of Federal Procurement Policy and FAR Council have solicited feedback on these efforts and will turn next to the formal rulemaking process. Likewise, in early November 2025, the Secretary of War announced and released an associated memorandum regarding a new acquisition strategy and directing certain reforms addressing Department of Defense purchases of military weapons. The Secretary’s accompanying memorandum and strategy outline a number of actions focused on rebuilding the Defense Industrial Base, elevating and empowering the acquisition workforce, maximizing acquisition flexibility, developing high performance systems, and improving effective lifecycle risk management. While the impact of the aforementioned changes remains uncertain, the new acquisition strategy and streamlined procurement processes have the potential to have positive impacts on our business.
On December 18, 2025, the National Defense Authorization Act was signed into law, which included a number of reforms that may also impact our business. Although the final bill did not adopt more narrow commercial preferences or expand the statutory definition of contractors who qualify as nontraditional contractors, it did exempt contractors who meet that definition from certain burdensome compliance requirements. The continued focus on removing barriers to new entrants and any related future legislation could reduce the likelihood of direct awards to companies like Booz Allen and effect our competitive position.
On November 12, 2025, the President signed into law the Continuing Appropriations, Agriculture, Legislative Branch, Military Construction and Veterans Affairs, and Extensions Act, 2026, which funded the U.S. government under a short-term continuing resolution through January 30, 2026. At this time, Congress has failed to approve additional appropriations to fund the U.S. government past that time, which could result in a government shutdown. A prolonged government shutdown could have a negative impact on our business, financial condition and operating results.
On January 7, 2026, President Trump signed an Executive Order, “Prioritizing the Warfighter in Defense Contracting” (the “Executive Order”), that, among other things, limits stock buybacks and the payment of dividends by certain defense contractors. The Executive Order directs the Secretary of War to identify defense contractors that are underperforming on their contracts, not investing their own capital into necessary production capacity, not sufficiently prioritizing United States Government contracts, or whose production speed is insufficient as determined by the Secretary, and that have, during the period of underperformance or insufficient prioritization, investment, or production speed, engaged in any stock buy-back or corporate distribution. If the Company is identified pursuant to the Executive Order, it may have a negative impact on our dividends, stock buyback programs, and our ability to attract and retain talented executives.
Contract Backlog
We define backlog to include the following three components:
•Funded Backlog. Funded backlog represents the revenue value of orders for services under existing contracts for which funding is appropriated or otherwise authorized less revenue previously recognized on these contracts.
•Unfunded Backlog. Unfunded backlog represents the revenue value of orders (including optional orders) for services under existing contracts for which funding has not been appropriated or otherwise authorized.
•Priced Options. Priced contract options represent 100% of the revenue value of all future contract option periods under existing contracts that may be exercised at our customers’ option and for which funding has not been appropriated or otherwise authorized.
Our backlog does not include contracts that have been awarded but are currently under protest and also does not include any task orders under indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (“IDIQ”) contracts, General Services Administration (“GSA”) Multiple Award schedule contracts (“GSA schedules”) or other master agreement contract vehicles, except to the extent that task orders have been awarded to us under those contracts.

The following table summarizes the value of our contract backlog as of the respective periods presented:

(1)Amounts reflect the Company’s change in policy during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 to exclude contracts for which the period of performance has expired. | |||||||||||
Our total backlog consists of contractual values which is inclusive of remaining performance obligations, unexercised option periods and other unexercised optional orders. As of December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2025, the Company had $10.5 billion and $9.5 billion of remaining performance obligations, respectively, and we expect to recognize approximately 65% of the remaining performance obligations as of December 31, 2025 as revenue over the next 12 months, and approximately 70% over the next 24 months. The remainder is expected to be recognized thereafter. We also expect to recognize revenue from a substantial portion of funded backlog as of December 31, 2025, within the next twelve months. However, given the uncertainties discussed below, as well as the risks described in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, we can give no assurance that we will be able to convert our performance obligations or funded backlog into revenue in any particular period, if at all. Our backlog includes orders under contracts that in some cases extend for several years. The U.S. Congress generally appropriates funds for our customers on a yearly basis, even though their contracts with us may call for performance that is expected to take a number of years to complete. As a result, contracts typically are only partially funded at any point during their term and all or some of the work to be performed under the contracts may remain unfunded unless and until the U.S. Congress makes subsequent appropriations and the procuring agency allocates funding to the contract.
We view growth in total backlog as a key measure of our potential business growth. Total backlog increased by 2% from December 31, 2024 to December 31, 2025. Additions to funded backlog during the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 totaled $11.0 billion and $11.8 billion, respectively, as a result of the conversion of unfunded backlog to funded backlog, the award of new contracts and task orders under which funding was appropriated, and the exercise and subsequent funding of priced options.
We cannot predict with any certainty the portion of our backlog that we expect to recognize as revenue in any future period and we cannot guarantee that we will recognize any revenue from our backlog. The primary risks that could affect our ability to recognize such revenue on a timely basis or at all include contract modifications, including reductions in contract value, a reduction in U.S. government spending, whether due to cost cutting initiatives or other efforts to reduce spending, delayed funding of our contracts, and the other risks and factors listed under “— U.S. Budgetary and Regulatory Environment” in this Quarterly Report, as well as those listed under “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2025. In addition, the amount of our funded backlog is also subject to change due to these factors. In our recent experience, the slowed procurement environment and reductions in contract value have had a negative effect on our ability to convert backlog to revenue as of December 31, 2025, and could have additional impacts in the future to our business and financial performance.

Revenue
Revenue decreased 10% to $2,620 million, and 6% to $8,434 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025 compared to the prior year period. The decrease was primarily driven by the impact of a slowed procurement and funding environment, including the government shutdown that occurred in the third quarter of fiscal 2026. These factors drove a decrease in headcount, as well as a decline in billable expenses. In addition, revenue was positively impacted in the prior year by $122 million representing the reduction to our provision for claimed costs recorded during the second quarter of fiscal 2025.
Cost of Revenue
Costs associated with compensation and related expenses for our people are the most significant component of our operating costs and expenses. The principal factors that affect our costs are the increases or decreases in labor and employee related costs as we are awarded contracts, task orders, and additional work under our existing contracts, and the hiring of people with specific skill sets and security clearances.
Cost of revenue includes direct labor, related employee benefits, and overhead. Overhead consists of indirect costs, including indirect labor relating to infrastructure, management and administration, and other expenses. Cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue was 48% and 45% for both the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Cost of revenue decreased 4% for the three months ended December 31, 2025, and remained flat for the nine months ended December 31, 2025, as compared to the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024. The decrease for the quarter-to-date period was primarily due to decreases in salaries and related benefits due to overall headcount reductions.
Billable Expenses
Billable expenses include direct subcontractor expenses, travel expenses, and other expenses incurred to perform on contracts. Billable expenses as a percentage of revenue were 30% and 32% for the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and 31% and 32% for the nine months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Billable expenses decreased 18% and 10% for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025, respectively, compared to the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024. The decreases were primarily attributable to decreases in the use of subcontractors driven by customer demand and timing of customer needs, partially offset by increases in other direct expenses as compared to the prior year.

Table of Contents
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses include indirect labor of executive management and corporate administrative functions, marketing and bid and proposal costs, legal costs, and other discretionary spending. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue was 12% for both the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and 11% and 10% for the nine months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. General and administrative expenses decreased 7% and increased 6% for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025, respectively, compared to the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024.
Fiscal 2025 reflects $115 million in insurance recoveries from claims related to the Company’s fiscal 2024 settlement as described in Note 20, “Commitments and Contingencies,” to the consolidated financial statements contained within the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024, which primarily drove the increase for the year-to-date period. This was partially offset by decreases in salaries and related benefits, primarily due to overall headcount reductions, which also drove the decrease for the quarter-to-date period.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization includes the depreciation of computers, leasehold improvements, furniture and other equipment, and the amortization of internally developed software, as well as third-party software that we use internally, and of identifiable long-lived intangible assets over their estimated useful lives. Depreciation and amortization expense remained flat for the three months ended December 31, 2025, and decreased 2% for the nine months ended December 31, 2025, respectively, as compared to the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024.
Operating Income
Operating income decreased 21% to $230 million and decreased 30% to $770 million for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025, respectively, compared to the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024, reflecting decreases in operating margin from 10% to 9% and from 12% to 9%. Operating income was driven by the factors noted above.
Interest Expense, net
Interest expense, net increased 12% and 10% for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025, respectively, as compared to the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024, primarily due to increases of $10 million and $29 million in bond interest expense, respectively, driven by the $650 million Senior Notes due 2035 (issued in March of fiscal 2025). This was partially offset by lower interest rates on the Company’s term loans, as well as increases in interest income, reflecting the higher cash balances following the bond issuance noted above.
Other Income (Expense)
Other income (expense), increased to $4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025 from $(1) million for the three months ended December 31, 2024, and decreased to $5 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2025 from $6 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2024. The increase over the quarter-to-date period was primarily driven by a $7 million gain recognized on the sale of a group of contracts. Larger increases in the fair value of the Company’s investments reflected in fiscal 2025 as compared to fiscal 2026 offset the gain noted above, driving a decrease over the year to date period.
Income Tax Expense
Income tax expense decreased 121% and 104% for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025 as compared to the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024. The effective tax rate decreased to (7.0)% from 24.7% for the three month period and to (1.6)% from 24.0% for the nine month period. The decrease in tax expense was primarily driven by a reduction in the income tax reserve related to the completion of IRS examination procedures in the first quarter, the decrease in pre-tax income, and the tax benefit recognized in the third quarter as a result of a higher-than-estimated research and development tax credit and additional foreign derived intangible income deductions.

Non-GAAP Measures
We publicly disclose certain non-GAAP financial measurements, including Revenue, Excluding Billable Expenses, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, because management uses these measures for business planning purposes, including to manage our business against internal projected results of operations and measure our performance. We view Adjusted EBITDA as a measure of our core operating business, which excludes the impact of the items detailed below, as these items are generally not operational in nature. These non-GAAP measures also provide another basis for comparing period to period results by excluding potential differences caused by non-operational and unusual or non-recurring items. In addition, we use Revenue, Excluding Billable Expenses because it provides management useful information about the Company's operating performance by excluding the impact of costs such as subcontractor expenses, travel expenses, and other non-labor expenses incurred to perform on contracts. Billable expenses generally have lower margin and thus are less indicative of our profit generation capacity. Management believes this metric provides useful information about our business. These supplemental performance measurements may vary from and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures by other companies in our industry. Revenue, Excluding Billable Expenses, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not recognized measurements under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and when analyzing our performance, investors should (i) evaluate each adjustment in our reconciliation of revenue to Revenue, Excluding Billable Expenses, net income to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, and (ii) use Revenue, Excluding Billable Expenses, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA in addition to, and not as an alternative to, revenue and net income, as measures of operating results, each as defined under GAAP. We have defined the aforementioned non-GAAP measures as follows:
•Revenue, Excluding Billable Expenses represents revenue less billable expenses.
•EBITDA represents net income before income taxes, interest expense, net and other income (expense), and depreciation and amortization.
•Adjusted EBITDA represents net income before income tax expense, interest expense, net and other income (expense), and depreciation and amortization and before certain other items, including change in provision for claimed costs for historical rate years, certain other corporate expenses, and certain insurance recoveries. The Company prepares Adjusted EBITDA to eliminate the impact of items it does not consider indicative of ongoing operating performance due to their inherent unusual, extraordinary or non-recurring nature or because they result from an event of a similar nature.
Below is a reconciliation of our most directly comparable GAAP measures to our non-GAAP measures, Revenue to Revenue, Excluding Billable Expenses and Net income to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP:

*Revenue, Excluding Billable Expenses includes $113 million of revenue for the three and nine months ending December 31, 2024, resulting from the reduction to our provision for claimed costs as noted below.
(a) Represents the reduction to our provision for claimed costs for years prior to fiscal 2025 recorded during the second quarter of fiscal 2025, which resulted in a corresponding increase to revenue, as a result of the Defense Contract Audit Agency's findings related to its audits of our claimed costs for multiple fiscal years. See Note 19, “Commitments and Contingencies,” to the consolidated financial statements in the Company's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025 for further information.
(b) In fiscal 2026, other corporate expenses consist primarily of nonrecoverable costs associated with employee severance from cost management and restructuring initiatives, as well as transaction costs associated with a divestiture. See Note 13, “Supplemental Condensed Consolidated Financial Information,” to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further information. In fiscal 2025, other corporate expenses consist primarily of acquisition related costs from the acquisition of PAR Government Systems Corporation (“PGSC”).
(c) Reflects insurance recoveries from claims related to the Company’s fiscal 2024 settlement as described in Note 20, “Commitments and Contingencies,” to the consolidated financial statements contained within the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of December 31, 2025, our total liquidity was $1.9 billion, consisting of $882 million of cash and cash equivalents and $1.0 billion available under the Revolving Credit Facility. In the opinion of management, we will be able to meet our liquidity and cash needs through a combination of cash flows from operating activities, available cash balances, and available borrowing under the Revolving Credit Facility. If these resources need to be augmented, additional cash requirements would likely be financed through the issuance of debt or equity securities.
The following table presents selected financial information for the respective periods shown:

Historically, we have been able to generate sufficient cash to fund our operations, mandatory debt and interest payments, capital expenditures, and discretionary funding needs. However, due to the trends and developments described above under “—Factors and Trends Affecting Our Results of Operations”, it may be necessary to borrow under our Credit Agreement to meet cash demands in the future. While the timing and financial magnitude of these possible actions are currently indeterminable, we expect to be able to manage and adjust our capital structure to meet our liquidity needs. Our expected liquidity and capital structure may also be impacted by discretionary investments and acquisitions that we could pursue. We anticipate that cash provided by operating activities, existing cash and cash equivalents, and borrowing capacity under our Revolving Credit Facility will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash requirements for the next twelve months, which primarily include:
•operating expenses, including salaries;
•working capital requirements to fund both organic and inorganic growth of our business;
•capital expenditures which primarily relate to the purchase of computers, business systems, furniture and leasehold improvements to support our operations;
•the ongoing maintenance around all financial management systems;
•commitments and other discretionary investments, including potential capital calls for venture capital investments;
22
Table of Contents
•debt service requirements for borrowings under our Credit Agreement and interest payments for the Senior Notes due 2028, Senior Notes due 2029 and Senior Notes due 2033, Senior Notes due 2035; and
•cash taxes to be paid.
From time to time, we evaluate conditions to opportunistically access the financing markets to secure additional debt capital resources and improve the terms of our indebtedness. Some of the possible uses of our remaining excess cash at any point in time may include funding strategic acquisitions and investments, debt repayment, further investment in our business and returning value to stockholders through share repurchases, quarterly dividends and special dividends.
Cash Flows
Operating Cash Flow
Net cash provided by operations was $801 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2025 compared to $790 million in the prior year period. The increase in operating cash was primarily driven by lower tax payments as compared to the prior year. This was partially offset by the $115 million in insurance recoveries received in fiscal year 2025, along with the change to the Company's payroll cadence during the second quarter of fiscal 2025.
Investing Cash Flow
Net cash used in investing activities was $52 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2025 compared to $184 million in the prior year period. The decrease in investing cash used over the prior year was primarily due to the Company's acquisition of PGSC in the prior year, as well as the proceeds from the divestiture of a group of contracts in the current year.
Financing Cash Flow
Net cash used in financing activities was $752 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2025 compared to $706 million in the prior year period. The increase in financing cash used over the prior year was primarily due to an increase in share repurchases of $24 million and an increase in term loan payments of $22 million.
Dividends and Share Repurchases
On January 23, 2026, the Company announced a regular quarterly cash dividend in the amount of $0.59 per share. The quarterly dividend is payable on March 2, 2026 to stockholders of record on February 13, 2026.
During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025, quarterly cash dividends of $0.55 and $1.65 per share, respectively, were declared and paid totaling $67 million and $205 million, respectively.
On December 12, 2011, the Board of Directors initially approved a share repurchase program, which was subsequently increased from time to time, and most recently increased by $500 million to $4,085 million on October 22, 2025. The Company may repurchase shares pursuant to the program by means of open market repurchases, directly negotiated repurchases or through agents acting pursuant to negotiated repurchase agreements. During the first nine months of fiscal 2026, the Company purchased 4.7 million shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock for an aggregate of $486 million. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had approximately $759 million remaining under the repurchase program.
Any determination to pursue one or more of the above alternative uses for excess cash is subject to the discretion of our Board of Directors, and will depend upon various factors, including our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity requirements, restrictions that may be imposed by applicable law, our contracts, and our Credit Agreement as amended and other factors deemed relevant by our Board of Directors.
Summarized Financial Information
