Insights

Leidos is carving out a security screening unit into a JV while retaining a sizable minority stake.

Leidos is contributing its Security Enterprise Solutions and Industrial Automation businesses into a joint venture with Altaris-owned Analogic. Leidos will hold 41.5% of the new company, with Altaris affiliates at 58.5%, creating a focused, U.S.-based detection and imaging platform.

The transaction shifts roughly $625 million of projected 2026 revenue and about 1,500 employees into the JV, versus Leidos’ broader $17.2 billion annual revenue base. This suggests a strategic portfolio refocus rather than a wholesale transformation, while preserving economic exposure through minority ownership.

Closing is expected in the second half of 2026, subject to Hart-Scott-Rodino clearance, other regulatory approvals, completion of a pre-closing restructuring and securing new JV debt financing. Execution risk centers on obtaining approvals and successfully integrating SES/IA with Analogic to deliver the anticipated technology and efficiency benefits.

Debt Financing financial
"the remaining portion of the outstanding equity interests of Analogic Holding to the JV in exchange for cash obtained by the JV from new Debt Financing"
Debt financing is the process of raising money by borrowing it from lenders, which must be paid back over time with interest. It is like taking a loan to fund a project or investment, allowing a business or individual to access funds immediately while agreeing to repay the amount borrowed later. For investors, understanding debt financing helps assess how a company funds its operations and manages financial risk.
non-competition regulatory
"the Contribution Agreement contains certain restrictive covenants applicable to Leidos Inc. and its subsidiaries, including non-competition and non-solicitation provisions"
A non-competition is a contractual restriction that prevents a person or business from starting or working in a competing business within a specified time and geographic area after leaving a job or completing a transaction. It matters to investors because it acts like a temporary fence around customers, trade secrets and know‑how, helping protect future revenue and company value; weak or unenforceable restrictions can increase the risk of customer loss and competitive erosion.

"Certain statements in this release contain or are based on “forward-looking” information within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995"
Forward-looking statements are predictions or plans that companies share about what they expect to happen in the future, like estimating sales or profits. They matter because they help investors understand a company's outlook, but since they are based on guesses and assumptions, they can sometimes be wrong.

The Contribution Agreement provides that, among other things, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, including a customary post-closing contribution value adjustment: (i) Leidos Inc. and its subsidiaries will effectuate a pre-closing restructuring of the SES/IA Business (the “Restructuring”); (ii) following the completion of the Restructuring, Leidos Inc. will contribute one or more subsidiaries holding the assets of the SES/IA Business to the JV in exchange for 41.5% of the equity securities of the JV; (iii) certain AHP Entities will contribute a portion of outstanding equity interests of ANLG Holding Company, Inc., a Delaware corporation and the parent of Analogic (“Analogic Holding”), to the JV in exchange for 58.5% of the equity securities of the JV; and (iv) certain AHP Entities will sell the remaining portion of the outstanding equity interests of Analogic Holding to the JV in exchange for cash obtained by the JV from new debt financing (the “Debt Financing”). The transactions contemplated by the Contribution Agreement (collectively, the “Transactions”) are expected to close in the second half of 2026.

The consummation of the Transactions is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain customary closing conditions, including (i) the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and the receipt of all required consents and approvals from other applicable regulatory authorities; (ii) the absence of any applicable law enacted after the date of the Contribution Agreement or order that prohibits, restrains or enjoins the consummation of the Transactions; (iii) the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the parties to the Contribution Agreement (subject to specified materiality standards set forth in the Contribution Agreement); (iv) compliance by each of the parties to the Contribution Agreement with their respective covenants in all material respects; (v) the consummation of the Restructuring; and (vi) the JV obtaining the Debt Financing.

The Contribution Agreement contains certain termination rights for the parties to the Contribution Agreement, including (subject to certain limitations) the right to terminate the Contribution Agreement if (i) the other party breaches any of its representations, warranties or covenants (subject to specified materiality standards and cure periods set forth in the Contribution Agreement), (ii) a law or order permanently preventing the Transactions has become final and non-appealable, and (iii) the Transactions are not consummated by the six-month anniversary of the date of the Contribution Agreement (subject to an automatic three-month extension in accordance with the terms set forth therein).

The parties to the Contribution Agreement have each made customary representations, warranties and covenants including, among other things, a covenant made by each party to conduct its respective business in the ordinary course of business in all material respects and to refrain from taking specified actions without the consent of the other party between the signing of the Contribution Agreement and the closing of the Transactions. In addition, the Contribution Agreement contains certain restrictive covenants applicable to Leidos Inc. and its subsidiaries, including non-competition and non-solicitation provisions, in each case subject to customary exceptions.

 


The representations and warranties of the parties to the Contribution Agreement do not survive the closing, and in connection with the Contribution Agreement, Leidos Inc. bound a customary representations and warranties insurance policy subject to the satisfaction of certain customary conditions to obtain coverage as recourse for certain losses arising out of any breach of the representations and warranties of the AHP Entities contained in the Contribution Agreement.

The foregoing description of the Contribution Agreement and the Transactions is not complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, the full text of the Contribution Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1 and which is incorporated into this Item 1.01 by reference in its entirety.

The Contribution Agreement has been attached, and the above description of the Contribution Agreement has been included, to provide investors and security holders with information regarding the terms of the Contribution Agreement. The Contribution Agreement and the above description are not intended to provide any other factual information about Leidos, Leidos Inc., the AHP Entities, or any of their respective subsidiaries, affiliates, or businesses.

The representations, warranties and covenants in the Contribution Agreement: (i) were made solely for the benefit of the parties to the Contribution Agreement; (ii) are subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties, including being qualified by confidential disclosure schedules; (iii) may have been made for the purposes of allocating contractual risk between the parties to the Contribution Agreement instead of establishing matters as facts; and (iv) are subject to the standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that may differ from those applicable to investors and security holders. Investors and security holders should not rely on any representations, warranties or covenants contained in the Contribution Agreement, or any descriptions thereof, as characterizations of the actual state of facts or conditions of Leidos, Leidos Inc., the AHP Entities or any of their respective subsidiaries, affiliates or businesses. Information concerning the subject matter of any such representations, warranties and covenants may change after the date of the Contribution Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in Leidos’ public disclosures. Accordingly, investors and security holders should read the representations, warranties and covenants in the Contribution Agreement not in isolation but only in conjunction with the other information about Leidos and its subsidiaries that Leidos includes in reports and statements that Leidos files with the SEC.
