Current report
Net cash provided by operating activities decreased $35.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, when compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023, primarily due to $75.1 million in net unfavorable changes in working capital driven by increased vendor disbursements, offset by lower days sales outstanding. These activities were partially offset by $39.7 million of higher earnings after adding back non-cash adjustments.

Previous wording
We carefully follow federal budget, legislative and contracting trends and activities and evolve our strategies to take these into consideration. For the government fiscal year (GFY) ending September 30, 2023 (GFY23), defense and nondefense funding levels represented increases of approximately 10% and 6%, respectively, over GFY22 enacted levels. On June 3, 2023, the President signed into law legislation that suspended the federal debt limit until January 2025 and capped discretionary spending in GFY24 and GFY25. Specifically, GFY24 defense spending is capped at $886 billion, an increase of 3% and in-line with the President’s GFY24 budget request, and GFY24 nondefense spending is capped at levels similar to GFY22 (though after various adjustments would essentially be flat with GFY23 levels). For GFY25, discretionary spending growth (both defense and nondefense) is capped at 1%. On March 23, 2024, the President signed into law an appropriations bill that funds the federal government for GFY24, generally consistent with the terms set forth in the debt limit legislation signed in June 2023. Earlier in March, the President released his GFY25 budget request that was also generally consistent with the terms set forth in the debt limit legislation signed in June 2023. While future levels of defense and nondefense spending are difficult to project, particularly given ongoing budget negotiations in Congress, we believe that there continues to be bipartisan support for defense and national security-related spending, particularly given the heightened current global threat environment.

Previous wording
While we view the budget environment as constructive and believe there is bipartisan support for continued investment in the areas of defense and national security, it is uncertain when in any particular GFY that appropriations bills will be passed. During those periods of time when appropriations bills have not been passed and signed into law, government agencies operate under a continuing resolution (CR), a temporary measure allowing the government to continue operations at prior year funding levels.

During those periods of time when appropriations bills have not been passed and signed into law, government agencies operate under a continuing resolution (CR), a temporary measure allowing the government to continue operations at prior year funding levels. On September 27, 2024 the President signed a CR for GFY25 that extends funding for all 12 spending bills through December 20, 2024.
Previous wording
Depending on their scope, duration, and other factors, CRs can negatively impact our business due to delays in new program starts, delays in contract award decisions, and other factors. When a CR expires, unless appropriations bills have been passed by Congress and signed by the President, or a new CR is passed and signed into law, the government must cease operations, or shutdown, except in certain emergency situations or when the law authorizes continued activity. Were a shutdown to occur, it could have adverse consequences to our business and our industry. We continuously review our operations in an attempt to identify programs potentially at risk from CRs and shutdowns so that we can consider appropriate contingency plans.

Previous wording
During fiscal year 2023, a provision of the TCJA went into effect which eliminated the option to deduct domestic research and development costs in the year incurred and instead requires taxpayers to capitalize and amortize such costs over five years. This provision is expected to decrease fiscal year 2024 cash flows from operations by $75.3 million. Although it is possible that Congress amends this provision, potentially with retroactive effect, we have no assurance that Congress will take any action with respect to this provision. The future impact of this provision will depend on if and when this provision is deferred, modified, or repealed by Congress, including if retroactively, any guidance issued by the Treasury Department regarding the identification of appropriate costs for capitalization, and the amount of future research and development expenses paid or incurred (among other factors).
Current wording
To provide additional financial flexibility for the Company, in connection with the Azure Summit acquisition, the Company entered into a commitment letter (the “Commitment Letter”), dated September 10, 2024, with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMorgan”), pursuant to which JPMorgan committed to provide the entire principal amount of a senior secured bridge loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $750.0 million. As of September 30, 2024, no amounts were funded pursuant to the Commitment Letter. During the second quarter of fiscal 2025 the Company expects to complete a new senior secured Term Loan B facility in an aggregate principal amount of $750.0 million, which will effectively terminate the Commitment Letter. The Term Loan B is a seven-year facility under which principal payments are due in quarterly installments of $1.9 million from March 2025 until the balance is due in full at maturity in October 2031. The interest rates applicable to the Term Loan B facility are floating interest rates that, at the Company’s option, equal a base rate or a term SOFR rate plus an applicable margin.During fiscal 2023, a provision of the TCJA went into effect that eliminated the option to deduct domestic research and development costs in the year incurred and instead requires taxpayers to capitalize and amortize such costs over five years.
